Anothereimct that, is intended by those so vio- 1 ntlv opposed to the Tariff, is to estrange the • them from the northern people, to make us jf.pve that it is the constant aim of the northern ® cl l c> s0 to manage the affairs of the nation ^ t the whole southern people may be subservi- 1 ' t to them, in political as well as pecuniary C1 ‘ 53. The term Yankee, at the time of the revolution! was heard l»y even/ American with Moud satisfaction, the southern people are i, • • made to believe that it is odious, deriding ml detestable, and every effort is put in {notion o make us believe that our interests, as a com- mn it\i, are entirely distinct from the northern pie’ that we would prosper more under a se parate government, and some hollow hearted politicians have gone so far as to speak of a ‘‘calculation of tho value of the Union.” We be lieve afhl uuderstaud that the people of the tweu- tv-four states, with their dependant territories, compose one great political family, that Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Vermont and Rhode Island form an integral part of our nation, our country, our home, our Uuicn* us much so as any other states of the Un ion, whether southern or western, at the same time, we by no means wish that they should be favored at the expence of any of ihc rest; indeed, our local situation, as well as the nativity of the r,eater partofu3, forbids that idea, but we wish to lie fair in dealing with pur brethren. There are, perhaps, no people upon earth more prtriot- ic to their country than the northern people, if proof, iu support of this assertion was required, abundance of it is at hand, t<*show that iu both the revolutionary and recent wars, a large share of the glory won, is attributable.to their valor. The politicians of the present daytthat arc ar rayed against the Tariff, tell us, that the act of 1S-S is obnoxious to our interests, in the ex treme, and unless it is repealed, the southern states trill be, nay are already, shorn of their liberty; they admit, for they cannot deny, that the act of is a modification of that of 1823, from six to twelve millions of dollars, but say. that the modification is most favorable to the northern people, is that true? we make much use of brown sugar, the duty upon that article has been reduc ed, so with coffee, so with tea, so with iron, so with woolleus, but suppose the act of 1833, docs extend more relief to the people of the northern states, then tho truth is irresistible, that the peo- plo of the northern states were oppressed to a greater extent by tho act of 1828 than the people of the southern states, aud have not uttered a murmur, let the restless, uueasy, discontented and dissatisfied nullificr and disuniouist ponder this well, aud if true let him hush his clamor, if uot true, let him make the assertion no more. Tho majority of Congress that passed the laws, derived their authority, whether real or apparent, from the eighth section of the first article of the Constitution; but, we arc told, that the acts are unconstitutional because the duties imposed tran scend a revenue duty and operate as a protection to home manufactures; to say that the Constitu tion intends that the power given shall not be ex tended farther than the purposes of revenue are concerned, is, unquestionably, deriving much from implication and inference, the word revenue, or any other qualifying word, is not used in that part of tho constitution or rcferrcd.lo iu any other; we do not understand that the Constitutions, ei ther State or United States, are to be construed by implication, but that they are to receive a con- st-uction agreeable to the terms they use, analy zed by the unsophisticated principles of common tense, none other arc legitimate; we merely make t! is remark, for, it appears to us, that the nullifi es contend for this doctriuc, in general, and for a contrary doctrine when they find it convenient for their purpose. We are clear in the opinion, that so far as the Tariff law of any year, operates to the protection of the home manufactured, to tho entire exclusion of tho same article of a foreign manufacture, it so far embarrasses a free trade with foreign nations, is a fraud upon the Consti tution, and should be corrected as such. The domestic manufacturer, by anterior acts of Congress, has been induced to vest all his capital m the erection of factories, this inducement ha- viag been given by the government, it woidd be 3s improper to remove the duties, suddenly, and at once, as it would lie to continue them ; such a couise would be calculated to sink many to penu ry and want from affluence and plenty, that would 08 loo much like inducing one to confide in your friendship when the whole object would be to ruin him. The government having given this induce ment, however wrong in its conception, would be ''orse, suddenly to withdraw it; we therefore think me gradual reduction of the Tariff duties to be r jght and proper, but a continued reduction of 1 M n i*< by uo means, to be dispensed with. The 'lews aud votes, on this subject, of our Senator me honorable John Forsyth, aud of our represen tative the honorable James M.

We wish not to deter any, by these reflections, from a course they believe correct; hut believiug nullification to be wrong, under the calamities we here contemplate, we should not have, iu our sufferings, even the conso- ation of knowing that we suffered in a just cause, but should be constantly tortured with the reflec tion that we were the victims of our own folly. W e have seen with surprise and regret the ef forts that have beeo made, at different points of the State, to excite the public feeling on this an gry question, beyond a due equilibrium; we ex press our surprise at the men engaged and the measures proposed , we cannot, we will not agree to the sentiment “we will no longer submit to tins system of legislation,” speaking with direct reference to the Tariff laws; we believe the lan guage unwarrantable and uucalled for; we are as far from a.tame submission to any improper ex actions, whether they emanate from Congress or any other source, as any other citizens of this wide Republic, but the language contained in the reso lutions passed at Athens, at Lexington and at Macon, show that they were the mere impulse of the moment, imposed upon those companies by the presence and address of powerful men; we look upon them as firebrands thrown into the re spective communities referred to, and enveloping the most dreadful results. In opposing the doctrine of nullification and its concomitants, we find ours,elves best armed with the principles of the patriots of ’73, the principles ofWashisigton, of Jefferson, and every distinguish ed republican politician of.those times; we be lieve we support now the principles that actuated them then, and the same principles will curry us through the present difficulties triumphantly. We have every reason, from other facts connected with thi3 matter, to question the remedy by nul- ifieatiou.. Virginia, always foremost iu southern interests, always patriotic, does not, will not go with us in this. Virginia, the home of Washing ton, of Jefferson, of Madison, of Monroe aud Henry, tho home of Randolph and of Barbour, on this subject, does not doubt, but absolutely re fuses. Good old peaceable North Carolina, like a good natured affectionate elder sister, admon ishes Georgia to beware!—Georgia should uo longer doubt but follow their example. The Union of the States is not to be hazarded in opposing the Tariff. Without giving concur rence to any other principles, we declare we be lieve the sentiments contained in this preamble and the following resolutions to be the correct course, aud best calculated, on this occasion, to meet the posture of affairs. For the foregoing reasons and for their support, Resolved, That we wiil send Delegates to the Convention,«to be elected on the’first Monday in October, and they are hereby instructed and com manded, strictly to pursue the course marked out in the foregoing preamble and these resolutions, that they use their best efforts to promote our views, and, in uo case, to depart from them. Resolved, That should our Delegates perceive tfca' the Conveution is likely to adopt measures contrary to our views, they are required to use all their influence to counteract such a result, and if they cannot succeed, they are to protest against the proceedings of the Convention aud withdraw from it, that the people of Houston county may not he implicated iu auy measure conuected with nullification. Resolved, That we will uot he bound by any course or proceeding the Convention may adopt unless it be approved aud received by the people in theirrespective counties. Resolved, That our Delegates use all their abi lity in such a way as may comport with the views herein expressed, of continuing the reduction of the Tariff duties, uutil they shall beyeduced to a standard that will meet the exigencies of the gov ernment. ' Resolved, That fearing, as we do, that much of the excitement prevailing is got up for the purpose of affecting and counteracting the re-election of Genera! Andrew Jackson, that our delegates have an eye to that event in all they do in the Conven tion, and cudoavor to remove every obstacle that may be attempted to be thrown in the way of that much wished-for result, and use all honorable means to further and promote it. Resolved, That we will not support for any of fice of honor or profit, any man that has already, or may hereafter, embrace, as correct, the doc trines of nullification or secession. On motion of John Chain Esq. to adjourn, the chairman announced this preamble aud resolu tions passed, and adjourned the meeting. WALTER L. CAMPBELL, Chairman. Joshua Pattishael, Secretary. The next Legislature.—It is a matter of the ve ry first importance, that the friends of the Union in every county, should look well to the candi dates for the next Legislature. While the good* man slumbers and sleeps, tho enemy may sow tares among the -jeaqAi While we are guarding against disunion iu Congress and in the ^anti-ta riff Convention; let us beware that nullification should not slip into the legislative halls. From the demonstrations of public opinion, already giv en, we see U; little prospect of a full representa tion of the whole people of Georgia in the propos er* Convention. The Convention game was in tended to ho a deep one, We have never thought that it was originally desigued for good. It came from the wrong quarter. We have uo doubt it was planned at uoj3nii{s®A\ City—that the whole State was immediately to be carried by storm. We have seeu Georgians turn out as voluntary Missionaries to propagate the Caroliua faith.— But our good peopk were too well established in their patriotic creed, to he carried back into polit ical infidelity. It will be remembered that we fell into the plan of a Convention, that wc might meet the enemy in his own field. But we observe a great reluc tance in many strong and enlightened portions of the people to giving in to the views even of a Con vention. It is said, and with much force, that when the Convention shall have assembled, pub lic curiosity will look with interest to their pro ceedings. Something great will be expected, and from the very expectation of it, the members might go lengths to which the peepteare oppos ed—and thus an excitement might gradually grow up to a dangerous point. Several intelligent and strong counties have opposed the Conven tion. . Richmond, Hall, Chatham, Jones, Cowe ta, Liberty and (we understand) Talbot have all opposed it: Baldwin only acquiesce&r because it bad been favored in other quarters. Other coun ties will oppose it. They believed a Convention ili-titfAi and inexpedient, as tending to create an and^citement We have before expressed •ur ooposition to any separate State action, as yrdl auction We sec no prospect of a full representation. And the agitators must have made the same observa tion. The enemy repulsed at the door, may attempt to climb iu at the window. Be ready to push him back. IV hile we are routfug his ranks and breaking his forces before us, in every direction, let U9 not suffer his reserved corps to come up in the rear and give us a galling fire. Compel eve ry man to pledge himself to the cause of the U- nton. Chatham aud Richmond have driven Dan iel aud Longstreet from tho field. Let other counties follow the example. As there is an im mense majority of Uuiou men throughout the State, let the voice of these men be heard through our legislative proceedings. Should the Convention fail, the tariff question may be urged upon the Legislature. Hence it is of the utmost importance to have souud heads and pure hearts iu that body. We urge this pre caution upon our readers as one of the very first consequence.—Federal Union. The following toasts were given at a Dinner iu South .Carolina lately: By A. Winn.

(during the ensuing session of the Legislature,) A DAILY NEWSPAPER, TO BE CALLED The Journal Of the proceedings of the Legislature of Georgia, AND HISTORY OF THE TIMES, BY M. D. J. SLADE, Of Jfacon, Ga. “Lege totuni, sci vis scire totum—Read all. if you would know ail.” T HE people of Georgia are much in want of a medium c-f intelligence which will prompt ly transmit to them the “Proceedings” of their Legislature. We are not only generally, but in dividually concerned in all acts of legislation, be cause these acts involve personal as well as polit ical rights, between which there exists a most in timate connexion. It is the interest then, of eve ry man iu the community t# be timely acquaint ed with the action of our representatives upon these rights. This is a desideratum—to supply which the Journal is intended. At the present we labor under much inconvenience for the want of it. For near, and sometimes more than three mouths, after the expiration of the session, the laws: of the State, with a few exceptions, are as a “sealed book” to the great mass of the people; and frequently such are the injurious effects pro duced by this delay, that men have beeu known, who; in obedience to a preceding, have actually violated a subsequent law which had been revers ed or modified—uot knowing that a new had been substituted for an old law. In addition to the entire proceedings of the leg islature, the Journal and History, will contain the general intelligence of the day, aud its inter est will be increased by faithful reports of the transactions of the important Redress Conven tion of Georgia, which contemplates sitting iu Milledgeville, the ensuing session. The debates in the Convention, as well as those in the Legis lature, will be regularly and correctly reported; for which purpose arrangements are making with a capable and experienced Steuographer. The Journal aud History op the Times, will be published daily, aud the Legislative and Conventional proceedings of each day raid in ex- tenso before the public on the subsequent morn ing, and immediately transmitted to any part of the State to which the paper may be ordered. The large and interesting mass of information which this publication will contain, and the great expense which must be incurred to carry it into operation, will require a liberal patronage, and such a patronage the editor flatters himself will be extended to him- It is unnecessary to enlarge on the conveni ence and important utility of such a publication to members of the Legislature, in enabling them to ascertain immediately the precise state of any measure in which they are interested and to keep their constituents advised of the progress of pub lic business, without the abstraction of time aud attention from their special duties, expended in letter writing. Terms—The Journal and History of the Times will be published daily with a new type, by ma chinery, to he expressly procured for the purpose and on good paper, and will be put to subscribers at the price of Five Dollars per session, paya- able on the reception of the first number. Those to whom subscription lists will be sent are respectfully asked to leud their exertions and influence to the undertaking, and to make a return of auy subscribers which may be obtained, by the lOt/i day of October. They are particu larly requested to do so, that the editor may be en abled to make the proper arrangements, and to furnish promptly the first numbers to each sub scriber. • 2ME. D. J.

Sept 18 178 Presentments. Pike Superior Court, September Term 1832. '■>, the Grand Jury, selected chosen and sworn T* for said county of Pike ; in discharging our duty, on-eianimation of the Tax Collector’s book, do allow him Ihe sum of forty-three dollars eight and one fourth cents on his insolvent list. We coincide with the opinion of the Grand Juries of a number of our sister counties, that the abolition of the Penitentiary is impolitic, and we recommend to our Senator and Representatives to use their exer tions in the next Legislature to reinstate it. From various causes which have existed, and con tinue to exist from the working our public hands on the rivers as well as the roads, without any public good is so apparent, we are constrained to request our Senator and Representatives in our next Slate Leg islature, to use their endeavors to have the public hunt s of this State sold, and the funds arising there from added to the stock oftbe Central Bank. The Grand Jury are not informed nor do they pre* tend to understand correctly, the extent of their low ers, but confidently believing that the rights of the citizens of this county and many others, have been much injured by the failure of the Macon Bank, late ly announced to the public which, had long ago taken place, but bad been artfully and corruptly concealed, cannot refrain from an expression of their opinions. It is confidently asserted and believed, that the cor poration has exceeded the power granted by the Leg. “islature, by issuing bills to a large amount above the sum prescribed by the charter, supposed to be severa hundred thousand dollars and we are at a loss to know how any man could have an interest inland at the same time exercise a watchfulness over the con cerns of the Bauk. for his own promotion and safety, and in discharge of duly, without a knowledge of the facts that the priviledge granted had beeu abused. It is. we believe, ever in the power of the officers of a Brink, to keep within the limits prescribed, aud if the books are fairly kept each may know when those lira, its are transcended, and ought to see to correcting the evil, it the said Bank has issued bills to the amount supposed or a less amount Improperly, we feel our selves authorised to believe, and hound to say,that some of its officers have acted fraudulently and cor- ruptly, by committing (themselves) violations of their charter, and others sharing more or less of their guilt by not preventing, whcnjheyj might, or by knowing and concealing with an intention of profiting them selves, cr permitting others to do so, must receive a part of public censure. The mere private mun who is guilty of an act contrary to the pfcain rules of com mon honesty, by which another is deprived of his pro perly or his rights is termeda swindler, and we are at a loss to know how the members of a corporation who have been either guilty of, or knowing tc the vio lation of their charter, by which hundreds and thou sands of our citizens have been injured, against the express rules oflaw and common honesty, can with propriety escape the same appellation; and more par- fe ticularly do those who have been guilty of passing off their ownbills for better, immediately before the an nouncement of the failure deserve the appellation end the punishment which the law prescribes, if they could be reached by its arm. In conclusion we regret the ill health of his Honor, Judge Strong, also the number of criminal and State cases that come before him, and after our thanks to him for his assiduity and attention to the most impor tant cases, we wish him a speedy recovery. We also tender our thanks to the Solicitor General, Washing ton 'Poe for hi* prompt attention to bis official duties.
