RYAN'S RESOLUTIONS.
WaeREAi liie Tariff L;>w of the last Session of
Cqifg.re.tS hns not s»lisfit*<l the just expectation
of flit people of tire Southern States. Whereas
t'-r recent utempts to provule'a remedy for the
,evils vv ii.'li we suffer ftom the Protective System,
by ; Couvention, not only will probably he
abortive, bill is likely, if persisted in, materially,
to disturb the public harmony and lessen the
mo t) force of the State. Atjd whereas, the Re-
Soho. is adopted hy the Delegates of a minority
of. People itul which are about to be submit
fed ! i? "state for ratification, are inscvcral.rcs
peek fa most objectionable character, if be
comes the duty of those who are the unquestion
able representative* of the People of Goreia, to
inter ose, fur the purpose of tranquiliziug the
public mind, and concentrating the public will,
by the recommendation of a course of policy
which they trust will obtain the general appro,
bation of the community—Therefore,
tic solved, That if » Southern Convention be
ilestr t le it is expedient for the State of Georgia
to invite the States of Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, and Mis
sissippi, to concur with her in electing Delegates
to a Southern Convention, wt.icb shall take into
consideration the Tariff System of tke General
Government, and devise and recommend the
most effectual and proper motle of obtaining re
I>ef front the evils of that System
Unsolved, That in order to ascertain the sense
of the People of Georgia on this sn ject, the
following plan of a Southern Convention be
submitted to them, and that their vo'tVl on the
same be received at the appointed lime and
places of votiug for county otficers, in the sev
eral counties of this State, on the first Monday
in January next; that no person he allowed to
vote on this matter, who is no entitled to vote
lor members of the General Assembly ; that the
vote he expressed by endorsing on the ticket the
words ‘•Southern Couvention,” or “No Southern
Convention;” and that a recular fist be kept of
the votes so endorsed and transmitted to the
Executive Department, by the officeis presiding
art he Elections.
.Plan of a »Southern Convention,
Art 1. The jtnte »f Georgia invites the
States of Virginia, North-Caroliu i, Somh-Caro
lina, Alabama, Tennessee and Mis ssippi, to
concur with her in electing Delegates to a Con
vention which shall take into conoid rstion, the
Tariff System of the General G jvcriun<;nt,a,.d
devise and recommend the most effectual and
’ proper mo le of obtaining relief from the evils
us that system
Art. 2 She propasog'thnt each invited State
shah si- o to tbe Convention a number ,1 Dele
gates equal to the number of Senators an! Reu.
teseptatives to. which socti State is entitled in
the Congress of the United States.
Art. The Convention shell not take place
umess five States of the six, which it is proposed
to invite, assent to the proposal.
Art 4. The time an I place of assembling the
proposed Convention, shall be arranged and de
termined by coi respondence omong those who
shall be duly authorized by the States assenting
tofhiFpfiin.
Art <5. The Governor of this State is tut
tiioitied end desir ;d to cuimnm icate die invi
tation and proposals contained in the four pre
ceding articles, to the Governors oF the other
States above mentioned, with n request that
they t>s mndy known to the people of those
States respectively. He is also authorized and
desired to arrange by correspondence, the time
and place of assembling the proposed Conven
tion, couforoialdy to the provision of the fourth
article.
Art fi. When tfe time and place for the
meeting of said Convention are detei mined the
the Governor of this Slate ig authorized and
desired to issue hfa proclamation, with timely
notice, fur an election of eleven, delegates by
general ticket, to represent the state in said
Convention, the election to he regulated by tire
same principles as those which covet n tire elec
tions of members of Congress. It is also -desir-
ed and expected, that the Legislature of this
Stale, wid make such provision as may he ne
ces.sai v, for carrying more completely and rea
dily into effect the above plan, if it should he a
dopted as proposed.
A>t. 7. If the Delegates assembled in a
Souti.ern Convention, according to the above
plan, should agtee on a course of proceeding
which they recommend to the States tepresen
ted, the Governor of this State is authorized and
desiicd to issue a proclamation, with timely no
tice. for an election of Delegates to a State Con
vention, declaring the time and place at which
it shall assemble. Such Convention shall con
sist of Delegates from every county, < qual in
number to that of its members in the House of
Representatives of this State; urn! the elections
•of said delegates shall be regulat- and by the same
principles and authcntica eu by the same forms
as elections for members of lire General Assem
bly. To the State Convention thus elected, the
recommendations of the Southern Convent! n
shall be submitted. If the same are appr- ved
by the State Convention, they shall then be re
ferred to the people for final ratification in such
manner as may h“ presciibed by said Conven
tion, and if they are ratified by the majority of
those petsons entitled to vote for members of ihe
General Assembly, the State Convention shall
proclaim thal’the said recommendations, being
regularly adopted, express the will of the People
of Georgia, and shall also provide the mode of
giving permanent and autbentic-record to such
rat die tiori.
Resolved, That if the above plan bf a South
ern Convention ii aalopted by tin- votes of a ma
jority ofthe ril z ns of this State, given in the
manner therein described., if wi|t lie the right
and duty nf the different functionaries of the
State Government to uffoid all necessary aki in
facilil ting its execution r -
Re vs teed, That we "ernestly advise our felliov
ciiizens. jmt lo give their vote# on the Resolu
tions < f ihe Convention recently adjourned, as
therein proposed. That Convention manifestly
consisted of Delegates from a minority of the
people; yet they submit their acts for ratifica
tion -o the whole people, according to a fat m
conirioid by them*' Ives, lhr*ngb' the agency of
persons appointed tn/ Ihcmstlvei tv i!e they them
selves remain final judges of the ratification pro
posed. To sanction such a procedure would o
pen a dour for the grossest imposition, would
establish an alarming piecedent for osui ping
the rights of the in jorify, and might nlfinintelv
expose us to all the horrors of discoi and aud an
archy.
Rcsohed, That while we would provide * cor
tective for the possible continuance of those e
vils of which we have so much reason to com
plain, we still lippe that the tegular operation*
ofthe General Government, will supersede the
necessity of any extraordinary measures on the
part of the Southern People ; and that vve re
cognize the happiest augury of beftcr things, in
ihe growing certainty of the le-elcction of that
Illustrious patriot Andrew J n-kson.
From the Cincinnati Gazette, Nov f<s.
NULLIFICATION.
We published, on Wednesday, Jin ;tc
cou tof itie proceeds gs of the Soudi
Carolina Legislature, li •voujd seem as
if these madmen calculated 11j at a state
may remain a member of of the Uni m,
and provide bylaw that i. shoukf be high,
ly penal to execute the laws of the Uoi n
w thin her Ten imty. Such a homely, in
Government, cannot exist, The course
ot South Carolina leads to sepa^atinn.
She sets op for herself, when she declares
by law, 'hat it shall b# a criminal offence
against the Sate, to comply with the laws
enacted by Congress. 11 ow such extrav
agance should be dealt wirh.is a ma ter of
some nicety. B.s. as the Union is mote
desirable than any personal triumph it is
'Host obviously the duty of congress to act
•with every lorbeu. a tree. — Ours is not a
Government of force, but of opinion
In a contest with South Carolina, or even
with the whole South, aqnos iou of mere
force is easily settled. Bui force, except
hi the execution of the law,, is out of the
question.
Sao:h Carolina proposes to nullify the
Far iff laws, within that State, by legisla
tive enactments, under the *iu'll why of a
ceuvemion. Her argument seems to be
tbi>: 4 convention assented to the Uni
on, and made us party to it; a convention,
therefore, can declare tiro extent of out
obligations. This is a must fallcioos ar
gument. Any individual rnay make a con
tract wiili another:-but neither of ihe par
ties can assume to be the exclusive expos
itor of its obligation. If South Carolina
propose to withdraw ftor* the Union by
a convention ol her own, a cnriveniinii of
the States, called according to the Con
stitution, may assent to such withdrawal.
Otherwise South Carolina must remain
a member of the Union, and the laws of
the Union most ultimately be enforced up
on her, or she must separate herself by
the acknowledged principle of revolu
tion.
The constitution provides, thit u IVo
preference shall be given by any regula
tion of commerce or revenue to the ports of
one State over those of another: nor shall
vessels bound to, or from one iState, be
obliged to enter,clear, or pay duties ia
another lt is :he province of Congress
to create ports f entry. Having created
tlieai in South Carolina,, it may well he
doubted if they could bq till constitution
ally abolished, whilst that stale remained
a member of the Union. 1 1 is upon this
clause of the Constitution that the nullifi-,
ers rely fur keeping open their ports, and
defeating the objects for which they ate
created.
The C •nstitmion also provides, that
the “trial of all crimes , except in cases of
impeachment shall be by jury, and such
t> al shall be held in the Stale where the
er m- s shall liyce been committed The
nulhfier’s argument is, that Congress cany
not make and enforce a law in punish io*i
sistnnee to the tariff in South Carolina,
because ihe juries will al\v. )S .acquit
the accused, or, by division of opinion,
prevent a conviction. Isay nolhlng of
such an argument as this, in a government
of laws, its ours is, except that it can have
no permanent popularity. Bui what can
Congress do to enforce its laws] Thete
is no difficulty to be encountered, but »he
unavoidable delays of legal proceedings,
nod the interruption that illegal measures
may, in the mean time, force upon regu
tor business. But must be met in a
tempi ate and finbeating spiri*.
There is nothing in the Gout.it ut ion that
prevents Congress from providing that a
civil remedy for enfotcing the revenuq
law sos the Utrr ed States, may be exercis
ed in one State, over the citizens of anoth
er. The jurisdiction of the Disirict Court
es Maryland may constitutionally be ex
tended over tite District of South Caroli
na. Revenue bonds may be sued in Ma
ryland, and defendants in South Carolina
he made subject to its process. In the
s. mv maimer,, the.venders offoreign mer
chandise, upon which the Unties have not
ben.o r d‘fl or secutml, intiy be subjected
ft a e vil action, Tiie Marshal of Mary
land may be sent to execute the process
in S.iutb Carolina: the judgement in Ma
lylund mtybe m <de a lien upon land in
Sooth Carolina: the issuing of an execu
tion may be made a lien upon chatties.
II the Marshal is resisted in the execu
tion of bis office, the whole military force
of the union may be called to sustain him.
If that is forcibly resisted, treason is com
mitted by levying war against Hie United
States. And this not the less, that il is
comini ted by individuals acting under leg
islative' enactments, aud State convention
resolutions. This treason, it may be
said cannot be ptinised without the inter
vent ion of South Carolina jnties, and
they will refuse the indictments. This
may be so, bu : it is incurring a fearful risk!
more especially, as it is the experience of
all ages, dial high excrements soon sub
side, and what was very popular fur a time
in turn becomes exceedingly odious.
The vew just taken assumes iho pio
position that the regular action of the law
must be suspended i*Souih Giffjlina.
For a short period this may bo die case.
B«i I entertain no doubt but the couits
of the Union wifi con inue to administer
justice there, and that juries will soon
come to perform their dupes. It will
be. a subject of, delicate consideration,
whether, when excitement is at its high
est, the Executive goveiumdbi of die na
tion, might to press die immediate action
of he law. A lit do forbearance, evVen
if it occasion some pecuniary loss, must
produce .more than an equivalent in sof
tening tx isperatiou, and awaking men
to sobo' 1 judgement.
li.isa strange imagination for men-of in
telligence to indulge, that a state can
remain a member of die Union, cast her
vote fur Ptesiden*, hold her representa
tion in Congress, and at the same time,
have a legitimate right to arrest the exe
cution ofthe laws, enacted by the gov
ernment in which she parucipaied---A
t G> -vernment thus constituted, cannot en
du'e ten years of practical operation. It
involves ihe monstious proposition, that
the second officer of die Government, a
; art of its executive powers, and the pre
siding officer of one branch ofits legisla
ture, may rightly advise measuies to de
feat the operations of that Government.
This never can bo. Thu Government
that cannot enforce the execution of its
laws cannot deserve the character of a
Government. Such an imputation does
not rest upon that of the U. States. Its
' tcsources to j rotect i self and theci-izeus
from the machinations of evil minded
men, or the mischievous vagaries of po
litical fanaticism, are ample. At this mo
ment the Vice President is Heading up
on grounds for impeachment, and some
of die Members of Cotigress from South
Carolina are making cases for expulsion.
There is no occasion for resulting to
such decisive measures as vet. They are
named orriy to point out die r exis euce
When die laws cami »l be oilier wise exe
cuted, the Executive nt iy call a military
force to execute them. But this, I trust
never will tfe necessary. There is amo
ral feeling and force>ufficieiit for the
purpose, if applied with proper discre
tion. •
MR. BUCtfANAtf. *
Letters hy the Carolinians, from St.
Petersburg, present that our Minister,
Mr Buchanan, is treated wiilj maiked
distinct ion by the Court and ihe people.
A lettei from,a.gen leman attached to the
American legation at St. Petersburg, says
—“I am as comfortably fixed in this city
as 1 ought to have expected: b,ut still,
ihe striking opposition which exists be
lts een the political institutions and man
ners and-customs of this country, and
those of our own happy land, will prevent
me from ever becoming perfectly satis
fred with my present situation. 1 feel
that the happiest day I shall spend in
this city, will be that on which I shall
lake my departure * * * Bud after
all* the besi inode < f attaching an Ameri
can to his country, is to afford him an
opportunity of seeing and observing hotv
superior are in* institutions to those of oth
er Poston Statesman.
The project of n StJte Convention, first
started by the INulltfiers of Wilcox county
don’t setnii to lake very well. From all
cotimies north of thin, them will not be a
single delegate elected, A largo portion of
the southern counties will not be repre
sented in it. Somebody, nobody knows
who has nominated four gentlemen to rep
resent this county. They will doubtless
be elected, becau»e no one will vote
agaiust them. They are highly respectable
gentlemen engaged in agricultural pursuits.
VVliat their political opinions may be upon
any subject, we do not know, what thev
would propose In convention we know not;
nor has the nameless individual who nom
inated ibejn, cou4escetidcd to inform us.
Tiky are upiiAt and honorable men.
Weedier they 0b likely lo render essen
tial service to the south in a Stale conven
tion, or whether one third of the voters of
this cottiny desire their services at such
convention are diffment questions. That
a fair trial may be had, Mr Glover, the
slim iff, has adveitised that an election
will be held at each of' he precincts in the
county. From conversations with intel
ligent gentlemen well acquainted in ihe
coo my, we are led to the opinion that at
least two thirds of die people are opposed
to the Convention, and will not vo e for
any one as a delegate to i*. So that should
four delegate# be sent from this county
they will no more represent die views of
die people of the county as to
prieiy of such convention than will the
delegates thus elected from six or seven
counties be capable of prope*dv represen
ting the whole Stale.
Since the above was in type, we learn
that the advertisement in the last Spirit
of the Age officially signed by the Sheriff
nf ibis county, that an election for delega
tes to a Stato convention would be lield
at ihe different precincts was not made or
subscribed by him, or with his knowledge
Mr Glover the Sheriff, is heartily opposed
to nullification jyid a State convention*—
Tuscaloosa Enquirer.
Something New —A Lowell paper
states, that the assessors a fill at town have
actually imposed and collected a poll tax’
upon two old maids who have the mis
fortune to reside within iheir immediate
Jurisdiction. If this cruel act don’t bring
into operation, among die maiden ladies
of that town, the powers of die veto, and
cause a nullification of all union, we are
much mistaken. The spirit which could
suggest such an absutd idea, must indeed
.be exceedingly avaricious, Verily, the old
batchelors of Lowell are. a tame, anti
gallant race of“odd fellows” to suffei such
an iMtbeard-of, and qever-lu be-forgotten
usurpation of power by their petty town
officers.

PRESCRIPTION.
At the onset ol the disease administer
va pill, every half hour, until you can pro
cure the anti epidemic potion; when y«m
shall have procured the laster, you will
continue to administer pill and potion, a
spouului at a limo, allowing an interval of
half an hour between eqcb piU and drink,
until a re-action takes place. Let the pa
tient drink little at a time, but frequently
of strong chamomile tea, in which you
will put two spoonsful of Balsam of Life,
for the quantity of one botile. Blister
the feet, legs and arms, with mustard;
but 1)0 careful not to piuce them in the
legions of the pulse, which must be t'ied
by the physician. Put a siuapi mon the
stomach, let ii be sufficiently large lo cov
.er a part of the beliy, and leave it as lung
as thu patient can beat it; when it becomes
intolerable, substi ute barks diluted in
warm water, and spread on a cloth ~f the
same size. Use .the liniment in frictions
of the region of the hearr, especially the
liver, the hack and the whole of ihe verte
bral colqmu. Carefully cover the pa
tient, but leave his head free and out of
the covei ing*.
Should ihe patient have any natural
wants, assist hjm with a basin, or a cloth ;
but bo caieful not to break the s'atp of
perspiration. If the stools and urine be
vtf u*whitisb color, fieo from indications
of bile, administer half injections, made of
an infusion of broken barks (a half pound
for four injections, especially if tiiej-e be
a diari lise».) which tire patient must Irv
and keep in; reiterate the injections until
the stool show a ebango iq their color and
nature. The prescription, as above,
must be followed until the patient under
goes a sort of crisis or re-action. It ge
uerally lakes place with a profuse sweat
—the pulso .s hish—the patient experien
ces a sense of suffocation, vomits or feels
a nauseau at the sroatacli.
When the re-action takes place, if the
•patient throws up the potion, cease giving
the potion, the pills, and the chamomile.
Slake the parent’s thirst with cold barley
water, to which you may add a few drops
of disiilled cinnamon water. Gradually
take off ilia quantity of covering—have
clean linen warmed, and change the pa
tient—-avoid alf draft of air, but renew
the air in his room.
The same prescription may be followed
in the case of children. .Divide, iu such
case, the pills and potion, into fourths,
halves, or three fbuMts, according to their
years,
{fj* Additional observations on Dr.
Halphens mode of treatment. There
are cases of so severe a nature that the
pills and the potion, instead of being ad
ministered every half hour, must he given
to the patient at more immediate inter
vals, according to the intensity of the dis
ease; erflitinoe thus administering until
the pulse be stronger, a perspiration
takes place, and then follow the ordinary
mode of treatment.
In desperate cases substitute blister
k plasters to sinapisms, on the parts men
dotied above; and when yon take off the
piaster, instead of using the common
salve, sprinkle die blister with two ot
three drachms of Sulphate of Quinine, ac
cording to the breadth,of the- blister.

which it has preserved from annihilation.
The national debt will soon be paid oil';
of course the government does not warn
these high duties :or revenue. Tit# man
ufactures of greatest importance in a na
tional cl view, have acquired
stiengtli, whfolt the adteitness of our me
chanics will enable them so maintain,
which it would require almost a suicidal
policy for any other nation to attempt tode
sitoy by rival legislation. Os course they
are not in ihe same want of the protec
ting hapdot the general government—ma
ny of them want nothing but the liberty of
competing with any rival fabrics iu ihe
markets of the world. In conformity
wjih our expectations, the revenue from
this source was reduced nine millions du
ring the last‘session, and every rational
calculation induces the belief that these
duties, which were gradually imposed will
be gradually reduced, until their amount
shall but little, if any, transcend ihe
revenue claims of ihe Confederacy.
How blinds and rash, and outrageous,
therefore, tho acts of those, who thicraten
the pea.ee of ihe whole country, by re-
sorting to means loptoduce, by violence,
what the uocossary policy of the govern
ment must soon attain by its ordinary,
peaceful,'and constitutional operations!
Are they afraid if they did not now act,
they would soon lose all pretext fur ands
turbing the harmony of this happy coun*.
try? We will agree to drink a bottle of
wine (at their expense,) with any of them,
if the President’s Message, which we*
hope to get this uight week, does not cow
lain a recommendation, that (his gradual
reduction may *be commenced after the
payment of the national debt, by reducing
the duties, annually, five or seven per
cent, or by some small per centage, until
the amount is only equal to the wants of
the government. We will also drink
auother, on tho same terms, if said Mes
sage doqs not announce the basis of a
treaty, formed with the Cherokee* for
their removal, and of course the Settle
's, it
ment of the agitating question pending be
tween this State and tbe general govern
tueut. This may the clouds be finally
dispersed* which passion lias gathered
over our political horizon, and the sun of
our prosperity, temporarily obscured,
shine forth again with increased warmtli
and unclouded splendor.
South Carolina is, wo believe, the only
State in the Union, whose Logislatuio
chooses Electois of President and Vice
President. The Legislature, which is
now in session, has not y?t proceeded to
an eiectioo, and we do not know
they will think it incumbent on them to
conform to the usual requisitions of a Con
stitution, whose obl gition they have vir
tually declared to bo not binding on them.
As they ate “ no man’s men,” they be
long entirely to themselves. Smith Caro
lina is, in efloct, no lunger a member of
this Union, and slio has taken this stand
with the manifest design jjrf rupturing, if
possible, the ties which bind that Unioii
together. Nothing is plainer, than tli.it
they anticipate this tesulf, from rheir rea
soning;. and the sinceiity of their hypo,
critical cunt, about their now ilingness “to
shed title drop off.atoruai blood,” may
be understood finm the question asked in
their Address to the People nf the United
S'ates—if Georgia, MissUsiopi, Alaba
ma, aud Tennessee-, would remain in ibn -1
Union atrd pay iis imposts, v when they
aould ireceive all their supplies through
the pons nf South Caiolitta, without pay
ing* a tom”? They plainly assert, that
the “sopara i m of South Carolina wouhl
inevitably produce a general dissolution
of the Union.” And this separation they
declare in advance, if coercion on
part of the other States should he «sed to
check tlfeir designs, fur the desti uctioti of
the admirablo government umlt r which
they live. As this scpuiati ti liojt not
filially nccum and, they may poss hly, out
