Soveul cases o' cholera had occurred at Bir-
cing the brigades commanded by Generals Hen
ry, Posey, and Alexander; and squadron under
command of General Dodge, all crossed over to
the north side or the Ouisconsin at Helena, on
tlie 26th and 2!hh uir. They took up a line of
march in a northerly direction, in order to inter
sect tho Indian trail. At; the distance of about
five miles the great trail was discovered, leading
in a direction ofuorthwest towards the Mississip
pi, and supposed to be about four days old.
Gen. Atkinson seeing the direction of the ene
my, knew well that it would require all diligence
and expedition to overtake them before they
would cross the Mississippi, and hence commenc
ed fi omthat time a forced march; leaving all bag
gage wagons, and every thing else which was cal
culated to retard the pursuit.
The country, through which tho enemy’s trail
led our army between the Ouisconsin bluffs and
the Kickapoo river, was one continued series of
mountains. No sooner had they reached the
summit of one high and almost perpendicular
bill than they had to descend ou the other side
equally steep to the base of another. Nothing
but a deep ravine, x\ ith muddy banks, separated
these mountains. The woods, both upon the top
of the highest mountains, and at tho bottom of
the deepest hollows, was of the heaviest growth.
The under Im-hes-were chiefly thorn and prickly
ash. This is a short description of the route, and
shews the difficulties of the pursuit. Notwith
standing all this, our army gained on the enemy
daily as appeared from the enemy’s encamp
ments. The tedious march thus continued was
met by our brave troops without a murmur, and
as the Indian signs appeared tnoro recent, tho of-'

• had not, howevdgone more than five miles, be-
ges of the kind, his resolutions are passed. But
it is impossible to judge accurately of the exact
import of resolutions iu a large assemblage. But
few can hear distinctly, and when a person does
hear, he is not capable of weighing- the precise
meaning of the sentence, and oae sentence over
looked, may contain propositions fromWhich one
would entirely dissent, if calmly submitted ou pa
per to the faithful vigilance of the eye. Of such
a nature do tve consider the resc-lution delegating
to a proposed Couvontiou plenary powers to act
as may suit it:
“Be it therefore resolved, That we, as free citi
zens of Georgia, will not longer submit to a sys
tem of legislation which is arbitrary, unequal, un
constitutional and therefore unjust—that it be re
commended to our fellow citizens in tho several
counties, to elect delegates to a State Convention
to assemble at Milledgeville on the second .Mon
day in November next, and to invest them with
full power in behalf of the good people of Geor
gia, to maintain, preserve aud defend the rights
and privileges of the free citizens of this State.”
Indeed! Can wo read correctly! Have we
been asleep, and dreaming all this time that w r e
had a Legislature to maintain and defend our
rights—a Governor sworn to “preserve, protect
and defend” the State? Or has it been reserved
for the Athens anci Lexington meetings, to point
out to the citizens of Georgia the defenceless situ
ation iu which they have been so long placed,
without any provision for maintaining and de
fending their rights. What have become of the
protests of bur Legislature against the Tariff? Has
the deliberate opinion of . (he Legislative part of
our State Government no weight when express
ed upon the merits of the Tariff,'that we must,
contrary to the spirit and letter of the constitution
of Georgia, appoint another body with Legisla
tive powers? The Legislature, and no other bo
dy, is the proper organ through which the opi
nions of the people with regard to any violation
of the Federal Compact, should be expressed.
The very basis of the distinction between tlie Fe- 1
deral and Democratic parties is and was the dif
ferent interpretations of the words “wo the peo
ple of the United States” in the Preamble of the
Constitution of tlie U. States. The Federalists
contend that they meant the people of the United
States collectively. The Democrats, always the
advocates of State Rights, contended that “we
the people of the United States” meant “the
States.” By this convention, which is to lie got
up by the people collectively, we could not pre
tend to say that we are acting as a single member
of tho Confederacy; for it could lay no claim to
be the constitutional legislative organ of the .State;
as the Constitution of tlie State of Georgia has
expressly delegated the Legislative power to the
General Assembly consisting of a Senate aril
House of Representative?. Shall we say to. thi.-

Four months ago, with a Tariff’more oppressive j

continue to protest Up-country Bank Bill-. • j
appear astoidshod that the Up-country 6 } 10 u
feel indignant at it! A writer in theGtorghj
calls the proceedings of the meeting HA in it;

who buy and seal bank charters or banks by tb
lump, to insult with impunity the hoxest p|
of this state 1 If so, it is high rime for our Lt ; .
lature to look into the business.” We think ?o
too—or these audacious Up-countryans will 1 3V
and sell Savannah herseif next-—as their ability
to do so is not questioned. Our Savannah friends
are too nervous. A trip to the Indian Springs
or the Stone Mountain would doubtless be o!
benefit to them.
CCr’ The A nii Tariff Convention. Iu some coin,
ties the Clark party have warmly opposed the
expediency of sending Delegates to the propose!
Convention to be held in Milledgeville; andia
other counties, though they may have madelin!e
show of opposition at the time ; they have gen
erally given it sin-Mi, a hearty and open disappro
val. This w’as the case in Bibb, at the late Anti-
Tariff meeting held here. A great many; Chrk
men attended it, merely out of curiosity, cot
knowing what was a going to be done—ofeev
not prepared to approve or oppose, on so slit
a notice—therefore determined to take no lot or
part in the matter. We have heard of but oi*
Clark man who did vote at that meeting; and
he with a promptness that does him honor, you!
against the resolutions.
We understand it has been proposed, as the tiro
parties arc about equal in this county, to makes
compromise of feeling, and send one delegate
from each. We are opposed to this course—ho
are opposed to any compromise of principle. Il
looks too much like a bargain and sale of office.
No. If we conclude to send delegates to thecon-
vention at all, let us send them of our own party
—if we can.
But our own opinion is, that the Clark psrty
should have nothing at all to do with the Co
vention. As it cannot be a full one—as it ' :
not be a fair one—as it will be illegal—as it™
be incompetent to afford any relief—it
safer to leave the matter altogether to the D?’ -
lature, whose members will be elected at t ?
same time, and will be equally well acquainted
with the feelings and wishes of the people on the
subject. If the Nullifiers want a Convention,
let them have one ; but the Union men shouri
have nothing to do with it. Let them write/
Convention on their tickets, at the election, w
stead of the names of delegates.
