~~MACON SALES, -
Os the Reserve Lands,
THE TOWN LOTS,
AND THE
BRIDGE,
WILL commence on Wednes-j
day, the first day of October
next, and will continue from day to
day with the exception of the first
Monday and Tuesday of that Month.
Wc shall then expose to sale in Ma
con to the highest .bidder, in confor
mity with a late act of the General
Assembly:
All the Town Lots not heretofore
disposed of; being upwards of one
hundred in number; on the western
side of the riveV: among them are
twelve adjoining the river, arid a few
other choice Lots tor business* The
residue are in more retired situations,
and generally afford goo(| building in
a pleasant and gfowing part ofthe/
kowri. \
Forty two gardening Lots of l/>
and 20 ucrraeuch; luidoir UmiAo
IfV miles distant from tke to ton in
two ranges around the Western
Common. Also, twentv-ijight Lots
on the Eastern side; that L to gav 4
of twenty, 8 of ten acres* and 16-of
one acre each. These lalt include
the place sometimes known as New
toiiton; and wilU be sold, /object to
certain leases from the United States,
to expire Oext January.
The residue ofthe lands mi the two
reserves, are laid out in tracts of 100
acres, and fractional parts of such
tracts.* Os these> the iptands will
be next offered; the lowest numbers
first; begitiing with those on the wes- <
tern side.
On Wednesday the 22d of Octo
ber next, at 11 o'clock, A. M. will be
offered at the place of the other
sales, the
Bridge at Mahon,
together with one acre of land on the
eastern side of the Ocmidgee river,
as one*of the hutments; and the pri
vilege of using so much of Fifth or
Bridge street, on the western bank
as may bo necessary for the other
hutment of the Bridge.
On. Thursday the 28d of October,
we shall proceed to sell the swamp
•and bottom lands within the Re
serves, those on the western side j
first; and continue from day to day •
until completed; |
The particular numbers that will j
be sold bn each day canno’ be speci-J
tied; but it is intended to put the se
veral kinds and descriptions in tke
order here mentioned.
The Reserves are generally well <
watered and contain several got*]
mill seats. The area ot the whole
cannot be exactly known until the;
platting is completed; but Uoefttypnc l
thousand acres is the estimated quan
tity contained in both Reserves and
the adjoining fractions, exclusive of
the tow n surveys. Perhaps no body
of land of the same extent can be
found that embraces a greater varie
ty in its surface, soil and timber.—
Situated just in that region where
he pine of the lower country chang
es to the oak and hickory of the up-,
per; it both these growths,
vnd soils in most cf tlieir varieties;
m some portions entire) in others in
terspersed or blended. Tracts of
very hilly land, oj that w hich is <putc
level, or gently undulating, may be
had ot almost every quality; either
1 of oak and hickory, or pine, or river
lands; and several of these kinds oc
j casioually united; in tracts of 100
acres, and fractions of various si
zes, adaptedjto most of the purposes
tor which land is wanted.
From the pressure of the times—
and more especially fremthe quanti
ty of lands and town Lots, that will
have been lately in the market, these
must unavoidably sell low. And
laying at the head of navigation, im
mediately around the third town of
the State in population and trade
there is every reasonable prospect of
their soon rising in value. *
Purchasers have now an opportu
nity, and apparently the last that
will soon offer, of obtaing on cheap
and very indulgent terms of payment,
choice situations for residence, for
trade or for farming.
TERMS OF SALE.
Purchasers of lands and lots are
to pay the Commissioners on the day
ot the purchase, one fifth part of the
purchase money in Cash or current
bills of chartered banks of this State;
and the residue in four equal annual
instalments. No. security will be re
quired.
The bridge will be sold on the
same terms; except that the purcha
ser will be required to give bond
with two or more approved sureties
for the payment of the soui f subse
quent annual instalments.

to-morrow 3 o’clock, P. M. *
n . Avgust 7 th. 1829.
1 tirsuant to adjournment, about one thousand
pe* sons met at the College Chapej.
Judge Wayne, from the committee appointed
yesterday, submitted to the meeting the following
report and resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted, with the exception of the 6th resolution,
on w inch a division was called for; and on division
that resolution was adopted by a large majority,
not more than fifteen or twenty per Sons voting a.
gainst it. 6
iSo act of Congress since the adoption of the
Federal Constitution has caused more excitement
m the Southern States than the act “in alteration
of the several acts, imposing duties upon imports.”
Nor has any other act ever irritated the feeling*
of so large a portion of the American people into
discontent with our Upioti, or created so much
doubt ot its prospective benefit. A measure which
can weaken in any part ol our nation an attach*
ment cemented by so many remembrances oIVJo.
ly and of suffering, and hitherto strengthened by”
anticipations ol national happiness and greatness,
must be doubtful in its policy as well as in its con
stitutional authority. Ihe principle assumed by*
the advocates ol the tariti that Congress can, ii*i
the exercise ot its powers to lay duties upon i:n*
ports and to regulate commerce, use those power?
to build up any one national iutcres* at the ex
pense ot another, was not contemplated by tb #
framers of the constitution, ft was not conce'iv.
ed by them that aright to lay imposts, to raise re.
venue, to give stability to commerce, to pat,
debts of the confederacy, aud to prepare for’those
exigencies which might menace our honour orex*
istence as a nation, could ever be used U v Cos*
gress indirectly to produce by its operation upon
commerce, a direct taxation, devoid of that nnr
fortuity which the constitution comraaurjs.
Such, however, is die construction of tlie const?*
tution by a small majority in Congress; and if the
interest w hich it fosters shall advance in the ratio
of its past increase, and bo cherished by the same
spirit of protection, it will necessarily a
total change in the commercial policy of the na
tion. Instead of enjoying a free trade with the
world, reaping the advantages which the suitable*;
ness of our products to the wants of Europe w ill
afford, extending that spirit of adventure whiclr
has carried the enterprize of oru people over eve
ry se.t into every land, we shall be corapclled to
an intercourse pith our own states with inadequate
capital to buy the products of agriculture. To
the restrictions of Europe upon” our trade, w
shall have superadded multiplied restrictions of’
our own legislation. Will the blbw to southem
prosperity be .lighter'because it is struck by our
bietliien ! Or will thf; oppression of our interests;
r 2 lest lasting or gkt\ing because its fetters have
been forged at hon*e ? And is there any differ*
ence in principle betweeu the coercion of our
trade by England when these states were colonies,
and the recent legislation of congress, giving to a
few states ot the union the markets of the south
without a rival, and in that way the uncontrolled
command of t?ie prices of its prodree.
In a political point of view, each state is equal
ly essential to the existence of our confederacy,
but in a couimercml aspect we cannot forget that
the southern states, since the organization of tho
government, have produced more than the half of
tiie exports of whole nation, and have given
life, activity, energy and profit to us commerce',
y rom the oppressiveness of the fesriff, bow ever,
Wt* can be relieved by constitutional opposition;
and it is our intention at this meeting to give to
the nations of the world living under different po*
•1 ideal systems from our own, and looking with ary
envious eye upon the duration ofour great repubv
l!c. another proof of the of popi*.
I lar *uiVrage over legislative usurpation. Threat**
and menaces against the policy of our misguide**
! brethren, or against the con toleration of tfae
states, we xU.sfcJ.aim; they would be beneath the
dignity of the occasion which has assembled us r
aud the deliberate purpose which shall mark our
resolves. We do not forget that in most of the
states by whose legislative votes the tariff has
been passed, that there are respectable minority*
who suffer from it, and it is our desire that there
shall be a bond betweentisto remove fheconuaodr
source of our distress. We invoke their tinkm iij,
the spirit of that patriotism which the father of
his country inculcates in his farewell address; anti
we warn our political a4rersaries, that if the se
pulchre of our union, shall fee prepared before an*
other generation shall have lived, it will b$ caused
by those partialities exceed their
love of countr 7io.se constitutional scruples rea-*
dily yield to expediency, a'.id who that
ther*’ cannot be too Much of federal legislation’
upon the internal concerns of the states, °
Ist, Resolved, That li,e act of Congress, com
monly called tiie tariff, is iuicewstilttf jovial in spirit
and iuleut; feeing n jjerversion of the pmer
granted in the Coo -tjtntioa to l.*y duties upon im
ports, for ilte pu'pose of raising revenue; un
worthy of the hcjnest 8d sane, re pi itu tplcs w hich
produced the Federal Cos inn, m *J caimot b*- pro.
nonneed to be luiconstitwikmal. only because it
veils its objects i.u its title and enactments.
2d. Resolved, Tffat the assumed by th#
General Gov cramem to impose duties on imports, ,

of which, by the people of tliMcStates, will place
all their rights at the entire discretion, and sub*
jeei to the absolute control of that government.
3d. Resolved, That as the Union is dear to the

any measures of an angry or vioielrt character,
