If, then, it be mathematically true; that addition is the converse of subtraction, surely, such it plan must aggravate the evils, yvliich the •Conventimi was intended to remedy. 3. In both Houses of tie Legislature, under the. proposed amendment, a minority oj the people Will elect a majority of members. This is ii iHbpfe matter of fact, to be prbved, not by •• argument,*’ but by figure*. And, that tny demonstration pay be unanswerable, on the principle* of 0 One of the People,” himself, I shall predicate my statements on tho white basis alone. I will remark, here, that 1 shall not at tempt to exhibit .the Senate, and the House, res pectively, iu their worst possible features. By making one division of the State, i monstrous in equality wilt bn discovered in the Senate; by an other, one, about na bad, will be found in the House. . But, in order to trbat.tlie matter fairly— (we must give even the devil his due)—rnui to show that l|ie same majority of the people aro in the minority in both houses, I shall make the same divisiqn fur both. I taka the Senatorial districts proposed,‘ftotn the 14th to .the. 30tb • inclusive, (sod she annexed Table 1.) omitting the 22nd, which lies west of Flint river, and, if included, , would make my division too irragu|sr,‘ in Its form. This gives me a compact body of counties, comprising the whole centre of the State, .and Containing a free white population of 163,176 per sons. All theotfier.C.ountieiof tip State contain 246,659 ftwe white persons. Of thesq two di visions, the majority are to alert sixteen Sena tors, and aixty seven Representative* ; the minor ity, twenty .nine Senator* and seventy seven Representative*. Ou this basis, then Couutics, which are nearly 17,O0f) in the minority of the wbole.pewpl*, wHI hfvw a majority of thirteen in the Senate, of ten in the House, and of twenty three on joint ballot, it is also to be remarked, that this power of tho minority must nnd will in crease;. For, by a gtaoco at tin. map, it will bo seen, that all qpw Counties, hereafter to be form ed, will unquestionably be laid out, in that region, pot included in my division. It will be recollect ed tha;, on .be plaq proposed by the Convention, over.v Iioy County is to have one representative ; nod Hat ‘one it to bo taken from the County, lowest-lu population, of those electing three. Now tlfif flyd lowest Counties, hiving three rep resentatives, on the plan proposed, are Jasper. Elbert, done*,• Washington, and Houston—all of thorn Included in tho motority district. Without allowing, therefore, for the probublo increase of the Cherokee country, which, it isgeeerally sup posed, will, in a/very lew'years, still farther cur tail the consequence of (he centre of the State ; qvery nety County forufbd eylll take oho member of Ihe house 'from the majority, aod add one to the minority ; thus increasing the relative power of the latter, two votes. If five new Counties are formed, tuen, the five last mentioned each losing one yopresentiitive, the majority, in the House, ofii minority of the poqpie, will be in ereasedlq twenty, that identical minbrjty already having n majority of thirteen, in the Senate f And ihife" uud save the maik" 11 is CQUaL- JZATION 4.

Fiom the statement, madd by the Comptroller Qeaeril,to (ha late Convention, it appear.* that the same sixteen Senatorial districts, referred to under the last objection, pay taxes, to the amount of $76,974, and all tho rest of tbo'Staie pays hut $56,258.* A dig .iet of country,, then, paying, in round number', $76,000, has thirteen leu Semi ton,nnd toe toss R.'pieieqUiivea, than a district paying but $56,000 ; end on joint ballot, it in a minoii'y of tweuty thru*.

Athens, July 36th, 1833. Muir*. Editors—A* this-is the age of improvement and all appear anxious to husband the resources of the country and to develope new ones, permit me, through your paper, to'nttempt to torn the atten tion ol the public to one, which the Sooth possesses in an eminent degree, and which has been suffered to romaiu. unimproved, for tile want of but a very moderate share of enterprise. I alluded lu the manufac ture of cotton-seed oil. 1 propose to shew, first, its entire practicability, and then its extensive usefulness, from which the inference will be readily drawn, of the great sotirce'of profit necessarily resulting to the cotton-planting State*. Tho diffi culty heretofore, was the want of a machine to seperata the kernels from tho lint and'hulls which absorbed the oil and prevented its eomplote extraction from the former. Tilts has been entirely obviated by a machine, invented by out' ingenious fellow-cilizan, Lancelot Johnson, Esq. of Madison, Morgan county. It is as per- 'ect for the purpose es it|is possible, and it is altogether different from any thing of tbe'kinrl heretofore invented. There is oneln Virginia of another'description, bat in point of expedition and faithful execu tion, it is nothing to compare with Mr. Johnson’s. That plan is. a rough heavy stone cylinder turning wi;hin a semi-con- have circle, brought so nenr together as to crack the seed arid then they nre sifted and the hulls blown away by a fan. This plan is imperfect, because the hulls and lint are mashed into the kernels, occasion ally Mr. Johnson’s is altogether different abd is upon-the plan of an inverted cob or coffeemill. The hopper is circulate end conical, and lined with steel-plate teeth, chisel-edged, aod spirally arranged from top to bottom* —Within the hopper, which stands' upon a square frame, and conform ing to its shape, there revolve* a vertical block around which are alsb inserted sim ilar and corresponding teeth to those men tioned. The tows of teeth are .hen brought, by means Of a regulator, just near enough together to cut the hulls of the send as they pais through, and are then seperated by an inclined rocking rid dle nnd fan, perhaps not unlike a wheat fnn. The o; pflrntion is very perfect. Not it fibre is mixed with tho kernel and they drop ns elesV at cleaned tico and not unlike it, liwing about as many kernels cut in two,, ns the .broken grains usually appearing in that article. It hulls twenty bushels an hour with n one horse power, and CRn be operated by a common rope band attached to the gearing of a cotton gin. (t will cost about as much as an or dinary thrqsliirtp machine. The press for expressing ihe oil, IS1l>e most expensive part of this business, and will cost $750, Now, with such nn establishment it is al ready ascertained that theie is nothing easier than making the oil, and this brings me to the mention of its usefulness, prem ising that ttfe fuels submitted,are suppor ted by cither actual experiment or testi mony of tho most unquestionable charac ter. One luislioi of seed will make half a gallon of oil, and this.oil soils in thecilios of Philadelphia and New York, for one Hollar n gallon, when linseed oil is stilling for ninety cents. The reason for this difference is owing to the greater number of uses Co which it can be applied. In the first place, it is a decidedly better pain ting oil, mid so pronounced by 1 all who havo tried it, particularly thnl distinguish ed piaciirn! citizen, Gen. David ft. Will iams of Smith Carolina. It is a most ex cellent lamp oil, and is in its use, free from smoke or smell. It answers to the manufacture of woollen's equal to any nil ever tried, and for greasing machinery nothing can exceed it. Thcrttaro sever al minor uses to whicli it can he applied with singular advantage. It has a re markable property, combined with rotten stone, in cleansing, with unrivalled bright ness, all kinds of metals nnd also Tortoise shell. When fresh, it can he used in corn bread for the same purpose, and to us good nn effect as lard, having nothing offensive in smell or taste the latter resem bling that of the hickrry not; The cake as it is called, that part which is left nfter expressing the oil, is' superior, as/ood for entile and hogs, loth*linseed cake which always commands a dollar a hundred, and is known to fatten the finest beeves brought to the New York market. A bushel yields 1* 1-2 pounds and is consequently worth 12 1-2 cents after tho oil is extract ed. It remains to shew the immense advan tage which is in store for (his country, from thi* nt present unimproved resource. The cotton crop of Georgia, for instance, is 250,000 bales, which, at (he usual price obtained, is equal to aix millions of dollars. In the seed, this crop weighs three hun dred millions, and takes about 600,000 a- cres to produce it.—The fibers when ta ken off, being one fourth oflha weight, leaves two hundred aod twertvfivc million* of pounds of seed which at thirty weight to the bushel, leaves in bushels,7,500,000. From this quantity, subtract one million and a half necessary to plant OlW.OOO a- cres, and there will be a balance of six millions, equal to three millions of gallons of oil or three millihns of dollars, half the value of tbe cotton crop—one which is soeh a vast source of wealth to the people ol Georgia.—This is exclusive too of the cake, worth seven hundred and fifty thou sand dollar* more. In making these statements I am not unaware that I ran tbe risk of being considered visionary, hot I have the consolation of recoNectiog that, soeh ao idea w»* escribed tn a certain manufacturing establishment, not far Bern this piece; but whe considers it now as a wild project f There it not One plantar in twenty, who bat any Mot of the quanti ty of teedTie makes. Fur every sBousand weight ef teed cotton, there are B hash-' ehrefsoot, which are Sforth to hitp in oil nod food, nt lout fifteen dollars, consider** ably over hslf the vatne ol his cotton, and really worth more than an equal quantity of corn. The time still come when a man trill just at soon think Of throwing away his corn as his cotton seed. It is contemplsted to establish sn oil press at this plaee, in connection with the company 'owing ‘-the Athens Factory. I give it ns my opinion, no investment can be more profitable-alt will be better than cotton spinning, he'cause of the cheapness and abiWdadc? of the raw material, the purchasing and equipping vessels, to -pre paring an expensive outfit -for a danger ous and distant voyage of ion thousand miles, whore they are cruising sofnetimns for three*'years, and then are able to rea lize an immense profit (making princely fortunes) at from 70 to 90 coots a gallon for their oil, what may’ not be expected from the production of a more useful oil, under facilities So obviously superior! Whale oil will be diminished in value, and we shall realize another great advantage in the retrenchment'of onr -expenses for that artiele, ahd 'keeping our money at home. In conclusion, I ought not to for get the immense benefit our Rail Road will derive from this ni'w pursuit. A. S. CLAYTON. P.

They professed to adopt his opin ions. They even attempted to reconcile them with those proclaimed by Jackson. Poor fellows! they did not look far enough ahead. They ceuld not foreseo that Jackson and Vnn Bureo would travel “down east"—tho first to bo made a Doc tor, the last to be made President. Nor could they anticipate Webscr’s western tour. They could .not have expected that Webster and his party would enter into a coalation with ihoir immaculate Jackson, aitd their“sweet little fellow,” Van. All this, however has taken place. They have been cruelly treated, it is true; hut their troubles are not yet at an etid. They must go one stepfurtner, or join the nulii- 6ers. There is no other alternative. They most let go the Virginiu litid Kentucky Resolutions of ’98—thiy must denounce Jefferson as a traitor, a dilorganiz.tr. Their master has comma'led, and they must obey. It is a bittern pill; but they have become so accustomed to swallow such, that we trust It will cause no wry faces. The proclamation, force bill, and Webster's speech, were bad enough, in all conscience'; and ns this is Ihe last, we ad vise them to take It peaceably, so as to make gagging unnecessary. We have already informed oor readers, that the Jackson parly, in the Tariff States had commenced an attack on Jefferson and ihe Resolutions of’93. A newspaper has recontly been establishedlin Tennessee for that express purpose; and as an evit dl-nceof thelruth ofwhaf we have said, that even the character of the author of the Declaration of Independence, is iliout to be reviled and traduced, by tbe present wicked administration, apd its prostituted supporters, wo give some of the toasts drank in Franklin, Tennessee, on the 4th of July.

We have heard different statejneiats of the cir cumstances connected wile (hie affair; that howev er which seerae to be entitled to meet credit, Is that the Depity Marshall went tntue house' ac companied by a compsny of Seldiere for the pnrj pose of removing him oat ef pie Nation, after some arrangements had been made as to the time of hi: leaving, the Soldiers having gone on, some difficulty arose between Owens nnd the Marshall upon which the lattci rode on and overtook tha Soldiers and ordered tnem back with orders to ar rest Owens. When they Arrived nt bis house he was going from hit house to a field some distance off; they pnrsned, overtook and shot him. As there was no person'prosont bat the Soldiers and per haps the wife of the deceased, It it of course diffi cult if notimpoesible to get en entimjv oorreot ac count ofthe aflnrr at tin j stage of it. It is Said by some that he was shot down while aUetnptieg to make his escape from, them, bat the most gener ally rereived statement is that upon their ap proaching liimhia drewjojpistol end mapped,se»er- al times at the Soldiers, one^f them observed to bira that be had no cap on his pistol, he drew out ofhis pocket a cep end fixed it on and raised his pistol, upon which one of the Soldiers fired and shot him ibroogh the bead—this we .pretamc is tiie statement of tlie Soldtors. It is proper to res mark that Owens nhtl the Mtrshill had had sev ere! difficulties duringtbe dey, during which they hud exchanged shots. We are not prepared 1 to ssy how Ihr the da- eeased-msy have been culpable in this affair, that he was refractory wo have little doubt, but under any circumstances we think it aa act wholly un justifiable; the Soldiers were sent with tbe Mar shall not t» make war upon the citizens hot to re move them—they were sent that the foree might be such as to render the work of death unnecessa ry—but it seems that these riokfiure instead of ar resting him when they had it in their power sod when they Anew that his pistol was not to a shuns lien to do them injury chose rather to provoke him by informing him that his pistol bad no cap on it, to put him in such an altitude as would give to -them some show of justification lojr this high han ded act. - ■ Ilow far the Wiiraliall rtiay havo acted in cohfo. • m>ty with his orders v e know not, Wo understand that lie bad received ordersfrom thediovernmor.t to remove from'the Nation nil those of whom tho Indians complained—this seems to -os to bo a strange mode of procedure; the govcroinenljlia* encouraged settlements Apon Ihe territory and hof permitted Alubsmu to extend iter j urisdiclion over it and those who reside upon it—the white man and the Indian are alike tha subject; ef tltat juris diction, ; anq are alike protected-and pnnisned by the lows. It seems to-us then that it would hive be'en proper lor the government cither to remove the whites indiscriminately, out ofthe territory or gjeft them all alike t» seek protection from the laws undet which they live. Rut it seems that it is oth- wise disposed, und has placed the property and lives ofthe citizens of that connty at the mercy of the malignity or, rapacity of the Indians; end lias ice tont ont.a file of Soldiers to execute Whatever tho one or the otlter maydictald. - >$ ley < C**/ tey ", • / TftE CORRESPONDENCE. We proved, last week, satisfactorily we think that those patriotic gentlcraon from Now-York, whoso letters Ids Excellency has published as 11,0 exculpation for his release of rite Missionaries were actuated in writing those letters only by n desire that Georgia should bwgptten "out of dtp way Of General Jacksons attdclt upon Sooth Cas- olina;we*oW propose to show that bis Excelled- cy was governed by the same motives. In order to give this "superintendsnt oft migh ty workshop” who did notintend “to ape Ttoup.b affair hearing it will bo neceesary to use a few of his Excellencys expressed determinations upon this subject. In s commonicution addressed to the Legisla. lure on the 25th November 1831 accompnnied by acopy ofthe citation in tho casuf tho Missions: ties, in speaking of lire attempt of the Strpremei .‘Cdnrti ‘to infringe the evident fight of a State to govero tha ontire population within its territorial limits” he says "such an attempt, whenever.made will challenge tire most determined resistance; and ;f persevered in, vvjfi, inevitably eventuate in tho annihilation of onr beloved Union.’ ’ * "In exetaising theduties of that deportment of Government, which devolve un me.-1 will disre- gnrd all unconstitutional requisitions of Whatever character or origin they may bo; and to the best of my abilities, will protect and defend the rights ofthe Stato,” (nol her dignity and honor) and nan the means afforded me, to maintain its laws and constitution.” In his proclamation to the keep- er of die Penitentiary he speaks ofthe high sta lion which Georgia occupies in the contest with the anpremu court, sustained as she was by the American people by the triumphant election of General Jackson. This much we have deemed it necessary toaay in order to shew that hie Ex- eelleney wus not frightened into this measure bv the fear of “danger ofconflict between the anthor- ties of Georgia nnd any ofthe authorities of the General Government;” indeed from tbemannerin which he nnd the Now York gentlemen bent this matter, one might be led to suppose that the whole American people, indignant at.the coarse of ike Supreme coart had elected General JackiOR merely because he bad adopted a oourae opposed to that decision. Having thus Cleared his Excellency from lb. imputation of having proatitnted die honor and die nity of the State through fear, there ia left him on* ;y one ground ofjosdficatioo it left him which ia that they had complied with thoee terms npon which he say. they might have been atony lima aeleused; not that we conceive he would have been at all j notified in relesamg them from fear,' hut that in thepntfUeaiaityof a mind weak and timid b> ■stare ud fawning ami timeserving by habit, thnre (sight have ben foend someth tag to mill jnto into P<1jr and ceotampt, the detestation wliUK see think, every- wan who taolu (airly a. fofMqt^tP^fcel.fitlhe-eeneplionnnd deeilt tution of political principle which hie Eaceflency baa evinced to (his act ’ Bat tn tha subject of compliancy on the nor or the MtaeDtrlee. - ‘ M
