COMPLAINTS OF THE SOUTH.—
We, of the South, have repeatedly admonished
the citizens of the North, for their misrepre
seutntions of our feelings and views. We
have endeavored, hy forbearance, and a gener
«>U8 course of conduct, to impress on their
minds, that we do not Imrhntir any jealousy or
hostile feelings towards them. We have uni
formly returned friendliness for th«ir ill will,
find the desire to see them prosper, for their
jealousy nt any circumstance which could pro
mote our welfare, increase our population,and
Letter our condition. This exemplary policy
on our part lias had no effect. Our northern
fellow citizens are intent on engrossing all the
benefits the Union can bestow, to the npglcct
and detriment of the south. They wish t>»
rentier us completely tributary to northern cup
italiste, and to exercise over us, and our local
concerns, the power of a European nation over
her West India Colonies. Knowing that such
feelings towards us actually exist, it cannot he
wondered at that we should complain, ami that
repeated acts of unkiudness should draw from
vis language, strong and severe, hut justifiable
and deserved in its application. If any thing
is to he wondered at, it is 1I10 patience with
which thesoitilieni people have suffered, to their
exclusion, the monopoly exercised hy the north
ern States over the disbursements of the put)
lie money, and over the immense means and
resources of the Union.
These remarks are drawn from us by the po
vusal of the statements placed before Congress
:it the last session, relative to the public lands
and Internul Improvement, in the States and
Territories of the United States, which had
the effect of disturbing again that equanimity
of temper w«* had partially recovered since tiie
passage of the Tariff Bill of 1828. Tlv
statements show, in the most im on’roveriibh
manner, that the south, and especially Geor
gia, has been shamefu"y neglected hy the Gen
eral Government; and that the north and
the west have, by a coalition of their strength m
the Federal Legislature, succeded in nsoimpo
li/mg the means and resources of the wlnde
Union, to their own exclusive advantage, and
in preventing the southern States from receiv
ing a proportional share of the benefits to
which they were entitled us members,—essen
tial and useful members, of the confederation.
i:i the statements which wo published Iasi
week, taken from the report upon tin* public
lands, it appears that Virginia ceded to the
United States, 1(53 millions acres of land, North
’ar.'linnQG millions, and Georgia (JO millions,
fhereby contributing, with tin* purchases of
* Louisiana and Florida, in the creation of an
inexhaustible revenue to the public Treasury.
From this generosity u bat benefit has those three
States derived ? None u- yet. Have the not-
them, and even the western Slates, which have
been placed on an equal footing with the ori
ginal thirteen, ever shown marks of gratitude* ?
Never. On the contrary, this generosity has
been used to paralyze the resources of the
southern States, and to increase the power an
-influence of the not thorn and western sections
of the Union. I low has Georgia been treated,
in comparison w ith the new States fonm-d out
of the Territory she ceded to the United States,
and with the new States formed out of the
territory ceded hy Virginia? Georgia, which
gave GO millions acres of land to the IJ. State-,
on condition that the Indian title t-houbl he ex
expended in the south, including
$80 000 in Florida, leaving the sum of $4,500,
000 expended in the other States & Territori *s.
Hus Georgia no reason to complain, not so
much at the partiality plainly exhibited in tin*
above statements, as because her Territorial
lights are disregarded, and justice hy the Fed
oral Government withheld from her? The
north and west may dispose of the public treas
ure as they please, if they have the Legislative
power; but certainly the Federal Government
should fulfil iis obligations to Georgia, tigiiily
and timely. Tin* Federal Government inn\
disburse th public Treasure in the north and
west ; hut it sttoud not oppress the people of
the Miuih, and compel them to deprive them
aches of fin nd and clothing, in order to grati
fy the rapacity and luxurious appetite of tin*
people ol the north. The Federal Govern
rnent may appropriate the proceeds of the lands
Georgia has given away, to cut canals, m'tk*
rail roads, and construci breakwaters, for tin*
benefit of the north and west; hut it should not
endeavor to place tho south in a complete
state of vassalage to the other sections of the
Union, and to reduce its citizens so low as to
he mere thralls to the monied aristocracy of
1I10 nnr'h. Georgia w ants nothing hut justice;
and justice she must have ; she expects it from
the new administration. If »t he again with
held or postponed, she will have to exercise a
greater degree of patience, mid w ait for better
times, or until the north and west are satiated
with wealth, power, and luxury.
We take this opportunity to thank Mr. Ste-
vc'sou for hi* expressions, when speaking of
the cession made hy Georgia to the United
States. Coming from such a source, ns a rep
resentative of I’cnnsv Ivania, they are the more
to he appreciated. Ilis words iire -
“ On the 241I1 of April, 1802 the Slate of Georgia

of that pari of the present States of Mississippi
and Ahu i '* 111 which lies north of the 31st degree of

cd the population of that large Slate ; has kept down
her relative political power, and been the cause of the
lute unpleasant controversy between the Executive r.f
Georgia and the Executive of the United States. As
the tight of the State of Georgia to this territory whs
unquestionable, the United Stutos obtained by this
tram a clear title, as well of til0 right of soil as of
jurisdiction, to about sixty millions of acres ; five of
which have been sold for more than twelve millions

is flic subject of controversy, requires that a
Representative in Congress, after being duly
chosen by the people, and although he may
have tho qualifications required hy the consti
tution of the United States, must signify his
acceptance to the Governor of the State with
mn limited time, or a new election is to lie or
dered. The required acceptance, qualifies the
right which the Representative would other
wise have to take his seat in Congress : It is
a restraint upon the exercise of the trust con
ferred upon him hy the people’s choice: It is a
condition without a compliance with which
the choice made hy the people is rendered use
less to them.
The Governor however says, that the law
requiring stich an acceptance is not a qualifica

that the representation may he (nil. Does not
the Governor perceive, that tho word precau
tion only describes the motive with which nn
act is done, and not the nature of the act. All
the qualifications required of Representatives
in Congress are precautions against some ap
prehended evil or other. Tho qualification of
age is a precaution against rashness and folly,
I that of citizenship against treason- But

11 will readily he perceived, that according
to this kind of* reasoning, the Legislatures of
and prejudices have been excited against me
among my own friends, hy their being made
to believe, that 1 was deserting my known
opinions upon the subject of the value of State
rights.
My answer to nil rlmt has been said upon this
subject, is, that I know of no more effectual
way of destroying the State Governments a to
gether, than for their Legislatures to pass tin
constitutional laws, violative of the powers of
Congress, and the Htate Executives to enforet
such laws. There is no security, I am tlior
ougldy convinced, for the liberties of the peo
ple, and the lights of the States from the en
cronohment of the National Government, but
in the constant and undivided defence of the
principles of the constitution of our common
country.
The determination of tho Governor to take
leave of tins subject, has induced me to no
lice nothing in his last Circular hut what rela
ted to questions of gri«f importance to the
people. I hope I have discussed them in a
manner and spirit calculated not to disturb, but
to aid the people in forming a correct judge
ment in relation thereto.
There is only one remark of the Governor’s,
which i feel called upon to answer at present,
lie supposes I wrote of Gen. Jackson’s opin
ions and that I committed a palpable mistake
in doing so. There is not a word in either of
my Circulars about Gen. Jackson’s opinions or
practice. I was a child when he was Govern
or and could know nothing of his opm

James Monroe and Daniel D. Tompkins. Thee
tors were,
David Adams, Charles Harris,
John McIntosh, John Clark,
Jared Irwin, John Rutherford, and
MeSfits Editors—I was somewhat surprised at see
ing the following among the presentments of the
Grand Jury of Merriwcthor countv, at March term
1829
Ex tract.
‘* We present ns n grievance the Central Bank at
Millcdgeville, it being on a principle to benefit the
rich and influential, whilst the community are aggriev
ed by the institution--we therefore recommend *0 ho
next representatives of this county, at the next .session
of tho Legislature to use their influence to have the
uct rreatmg said Bank repealed.'’
Now here is n sweeping denunciation of nn insti
tution, which has not yet gone into full operation ;
and of course, it is made without knowing any thing
about tho principles on which the Bank will ho con
ducted The jury say it is on the principle to benefit
1 lie rich and influential What proof do they give of
the Assertion ? -not a particle - Wliat proof run they
give ? Not one jot, unless hy way of inference from
tin* 221 rule, that has been published, requiring offi
cial certificates of executions unsatisfied, murtgag.-M
existing <^c &e.
So far from that rulo furnishing any thing like proof,
that tho Bank is to benefit the rich und influential,
ii may prove just the reverse.
Many men want to get money from that Bank
some for one purpose nnd some for unother. Hut
they may be all divided into two classes - those who
want money to speculato upon, and those who want
money to pay their debts, and save their property.
Now is it riot n reasonable presumption that the 221
rule, requiring these certificates, was adopted hy the
directors of the Bank, for the purpose, of ascertaining,
in the most certain manner who were in debt, ami of
cou'se w ho stood most in need of money, so that they
might distribute the funds of the Bank accordingly r
If that w as the intention of the Directors they could
not have hit upon a bettor expedient to find out w lm
really needs their aid The grand jury of Merriwo'ti
er certainly could not have taken tins view of the
subject, obvious as it is, or they would not have de
nounced the Bank as they have done. RELIEF.

Stale of (leorgia had in 179!'required a pledge
from its Representatives ill (.'ongress that limy
would not vote for mty appropriation of money
for making Interna) Improvement hy the lini
tctl States, would Air. Forsyth have thought
that preeautiou n «iso one? Suppose the
Stale, in order to lie see tiro that her Represen
tatives shall lie « ell informed, used the preenu-
lion of requiring of each member, after his el
ection, to produce to tin- (Jovernor proofs, that
lie hnd taken a Co I lego degreu. Would that
precaution he constitutional ?
The (invernnr thinks that tho Legislature
have I lie right lo use a precaution, that will
secure a full representation for the Stale.—
That precaution is left hy the constitution, to
he used hy tlm people in the selaetion of such
persons as will certainly discharge the trust
confided to them. The Legislature, of the
States violate the elective rights of the people,
when they attempt to control, in nny way, the
people’s choice. The Governor, however, seem*
to think, that this condition of acceptance is
prescribed hv the people’s will, making the
people nnd the Legislature equivalent nuthori
lies. Tiie difference can ho very familiarly il
lustrated. The Representative in Congress,
derives his authority directly from thu people,
and is responsible to them: The Senators in
Congress derive theirs from the Legislature,
and are responsible to thut body. The Rep
resentative acts in the name &. hy the authority
of the people : The Senators represent the Go
vernment of the Stale. It is from litis distinc
tion, that in all joint resolutions passed hy the
Legislatures of the States upon subjects lo
w hich they desire to call the attention of their
members of Congress, they say, we instruct
our Senators in congress and request our Rep
resentatives.
I beg leave to present one other view of tlm
subject. If the Legislature of the State, can
constitutionally impose upon a Representative
properly chosen by the people, the condition
that lie shall signify his acceptance to the Go
vernoras lie contends, then the House of Rep
resentatives would he hound hy that condition,
in exercising its authority under tho constitu
tion in judge of the election returns and qual
ifications of its members. And this singular
stale of tilings would exist, that the House of
Representatives could never have nny uniform
rule of judging of the qualifications of its
members. Facli Stule might require different
qualifications.
The second point to he discussed, is, wive liv
er it is live duty of tliu Governor to enforce nn
unconstitutional law. He lias publicly ex
pressed his determination to do so. It is of
great importance to the people that such a rule
of F,xurulive conduct should lie examined, and
if found crronooijs controlled. The interest
of Georgia 6r nil the other southern States de
mands it m-culiorly at this lime. The Govern
or is required to support the Constitution of
the United States, and faithfully lo execute the
office of Governor of Georgia, defend the
State, und cause justice to he executed in mer
rv. A popular opinion has prevailed, thut the
Govi ruor is required to take an oath to execute
the law s of the State, and that, therefore, lie
was compelled to enforce the election law a
gainst me, although it might he unconstitution
al. 1 have stated tin: Substance of the oaths
which lie takes. If he really was requit
ed to lake such tin oath as supposed, lit
would lie obliged to disregard it, because the
constitution is the supreme law of tiie laud
and nil unconstitutional law is no law at all.
Ihn he never took such an oath. If the Go
vernor can inforre an unconstitutional law,
Hlthniigli he is required liv his oath to support
the constitution, then I freely admit tlmt he lias
been right in the course lie has pursued. The
violntinn of the constitution is a most singular
kind of support. He is not however singular
in Ins practice. The only restraint upon mem
bers of Congress, against their violation of the
the constitution and passing unconstitutional
nets, is the same oath that the Governor lias tak
en to support the constitution. The many viola
tions that have been committed hy Congress,
have been pointed out in the reports and reso
lutions of our Legislature at its two last ses
cions. Hut on this subject, I have long known,
that the Governor thought differently from my
self. Whilst n member of Congress, lie voted
in favoi of resolutions that Congress bail the
power to appropriate money to construct mili
tary roads, and improve watercourses; nnd to
construct roads and canals ; and in favor of a
law to appropriate funds for Internal Improve
mums; to appropriate money lo procure plans,
estimates, and surveys, on the subject of roads
midcunuG: ami to subscribe for stock in the
Chesapeake anil Delaware Canal Company,
Ml this may prove that the Govern
or his practice. I believe, however, that neitlir
Gen. Jnkson nor an v other Governor of Gr ir
gin, nor the Govorin..'* of any other State, hat
ply interested I since the adoption of the constitution, order
ed a new election for n Representative in Con
gross ufteran election duly made by the peo
ple, because the member ehost’n hnd not sigui

Upon my arrixul in Georgia, n few (lavs n^o.
I sit\v for the first time, the Governor'^ secoiid
Circular. It Ims now been tlistincily ndmit
ted hy him, that nil the prokisiqi’a of the el
ection law which have bpen (he Bithject of con
troversy, nro unconstitutional, except the re
quisilion of acceptance. Ilut two questions,
therefore, remain to he determined between us,
in which the public nre interested, viz. Wheth
er the law of Georgia, requiring of a Represen
tative in Congress n signification of his ncrep-
tiitice to the Governor, he uncnnstitutionnl, it in!
if so. whether the Governor has performed his
duly in enforcing if.
The people have the right to choose their
Representatives in Congress, und all citizens
have a right to he the Huhj^ct of such choice,
except no far ns 1 hat right is qualified hy con
ditions or restrictions imposed by the constitu
tion of the United States. Tin*, only restric
tions so imposed, are, that the Representuiive
shall linvo attained the nge of twenty-five
vears, been seven years a citizen of the United
States, and ho an inhabitant of that State in
which he shall he chosen.
Whenever powers are conferred upon Con
gress, or restraints imposed upon the people, hy
the constitution of the U. Slates, such powers
cannot he enlarged nor restraints increased.
The I T ouse of Hep •esentatives therefore in ex
ercising its right of judging of the qualifica
tions of its members, cannot add other qualifi
cations than those that nre expressed in the
constitution, to wit: ng*, citizenship and resi
lience. If Congress is restrained from lidding
to tho qualifications nf its members, because
they are fixed hy the cnn-nituiioM, mo.-*t certain
ly the Legislature* of the Status cannot exer
cise such powers. If therefore a law requir
ing acceptance from a Representative of the
people in Congress, alter he is duly elected and J &e. &
before lie can take his seat, he a qualification or, or’s opinions of the constitution are the same
restraint upon the right of ilia Representative now as formerlv, hut do not prove the correct-
chosen, then such a law would be unconstitu-1 ness of bis enforcing of nn unconstitutional
tional, whether passed by C-mgresa or the Le- law

gislattire of a State
Mr. Forsyth seems to admit this much, but
says that requiring an acceptance is not a qual
ification hut a precaution used hy the State of
Georgia to have Iter representation full. It
therefore becomes necessary to ascertain what
is the meaning of a qualification of a Repre
sentative iu Congress. Tho people have the
right to choose their Representative iu Con
gress, as has been before slated, Sc any person so
chosen would have the right to exercise that
trust, unless the constitution imposed restraints
or conditions. These restraints or conditions
whatever they may he, are qualifications of
'bat genera! right- 'Flic ! a\v ol Georgia v;!del.
If rlie Governor can refuse to support tho
Constitution iu the discharge of Ihn official du
ty, the President of the United States can do
tiie same. If the Legislature of a State can
pass unconstitutional luws iu violation of the
rights of Congress and its members ; the Le
gisiature of the U. States can pass laws iu vi
olation of the rights of the States. In such a
contest, the greater power being in the hands
of the U. States, tho rights of the States must
he sacrificed.
Before I leave this subject, I must be permit
ted to remark, that means have been used with
the people, to make them believe, that State
