If Banks a fiord any advantages to communities, it was believed to be j that those advantages should be extended to the people in every section ol j '..tp ami not permit the monied iufiyence of tiie country to be concentrated fertile 1 advantage, or depression of any particular section. All legislation, which gives ! • •!veprivilege* to capitalists, is calculated to increase the power of the rich ; while, ' 'iilile members of society, who are incessantly laboring-at their daily avocations, 1 -ustciiance of themselves and families have neither time nor money, to participate profits and influence, which are secured to Banking and other similar corporate Hiius; and therefore have a just right to complain of that government, which increa -1 power of the rich at the expense of the poor. Equal protection and equal benefits ; it tlV'ttlie poor man asks from his government ; and nothing- less will, or ought to : •• a citizen of this free country. _ But on the other hand, the rich are seldom satisfied protection and equal benefits. Their inordinate cravings for govermental favoi i Section, have already produced the most alarming ‘results; sttchas threaten the i.etion of the Federal Union itself. ' .jaws of this State, upon most subjects of goncra! interests, have become so multiplied ' implicated, and in some_ instances contradictory in their provisions, as lo render a J: .p just and uniform administration of them, exceedingly difficult, ifnot impracticable. | ; | therefore submit to the Legislature the expediency of providing by law, fora gen -1 vision of the statutes of this State ; embracing, in a compact form, the several statues j '.ngto its civil polity and internal adminstration . the whole to be consolidated and ar -d in appropriate chapters, titles and art icles isimplifying the language thereof, and 1 j omissions and other defects supplied by the Compilers—The whole of which should he “pitted to the Legislature for revision,adoption, or rejection, it is believed that other e,--'! have succeeded in similar efforts to the one now proposed—and why may not we ! ’ a ? We have competent individuals, who could discharge with ability, the arduous | responsible duties contemplated—men of experience, general science arid elevated le- j • : .landing. While 1 entertain the highest respect and. confidence in the General As 4 . dy of this State, I consider its structure and formation such, as to exclude the hope of} ;j)cr the very desirable object herein contemplated, by the ordinary process of Legisla* j A revised code of our present statutes, embracing their present substance, in a con-j inrsptcuous, & simplified form, can oifly be obtained from the labor of patient research i ,i uninterrupted inflection, based upon talents and qualifications of the first order, flie territory, embraced in Cherokee county, should be divided into counties of suitable ~ ant i form, to promote (be convenience of that portion of our population, who may inha* itihat section of tiie State; and the organization of such counties should be provided for ...iliont unnecessary delay. i'lie situation of the public property embraced in the fractional surveys, requires immo late Legislation ; which will place that portion of the public interest, beyond the proba 'jtr of intrusion —I would therefore recommend that said fractions be disposed : . with the least possible delay, and be made available for public purposes.

Executive appointments made during the recess of the Legislature, and the Reports l ade to this Department by the different Banks, accompany this Message. Various Res- j Titions passed by the Legislatures of several of the states, upon subjects of general con- i jern, are also herewith transmitted. . * i A beautiful Map, Atlas, and well executed statistical view of the state of Maine, has, by j be direction of the Legislature of that state, been presented to Georgia, in a manner wor-j hr of that patriotic b'tate. And as the organ of Georgia, while acknowledging such favors cannot avoid feelings of mortification, that we are no better prepared to reciprocate sucti I and attentions. I might here close this communication, unddr the conviction, of having submitted for the i Moderation of the Legislature, the most important subjects, which will require theirat mtion during the present session. But at a time like the present, when our country is stated from its centre to its circumference, upon subjects of vital importance to the cause liberty and the perpetuation of our civil institutions, I deem it to be u duty attached to h> trust which 1 occupy, to give a free and frank avowal of my sentiments, upon the exci irr subjects before us—regarding alone die interests of my country. pon all subjects relating to the usurpations of the Federal Government, and especially ipm that of the protective TarifFSystem, great unanimity of opinion prevails, throughout ht, aud the southern states generally. They never will be reconciled to tbe present Ta il or the principles upon which it is based. They believe it to he contrary to the prin iflesA spirit of the federal constitution,- and tbe auxiliary measures,-by which this odices item of taxation is kept up and supported, are no less objectionable than the Tariff itself, 'he partial and extravagant appropriations of every succeeding Congress, since the intro 'Jclion of this desolating and strife stirring system, clearly evince, an abandonment of ose principles of economy and Republican simplicity, upon which our Federal system is scd. X° preserve and perpetuate the blessings of our political institutions, it is indis eisablc, that the Federal and State Governments should be kept within the limits of their institutional sphere# of action. Intolerable assumptions and usurpations, which will not #ld to the ordinary influence of reason and justice, must be checked by some means ; and i powor to accomplish this end, must unquestionably reside in the respective sovereign-! . It is inconsistent with every principle of liberty and free government, for the politi- i v reserved rights of a State, to be confided to, or dependent on the decision of any power i isier Heaven, except it be the wiil of her own people. When burthens become insuf* ahie, the time, the mode, and the measure of redress, are questions which must be de ra.iicd by those who fc-.-l themselves aggrieved—aud this brings us at once, to the inies nw/uieh,at this time, agitates the public mind. me people of this State have already through their primary assemblies, as well as by | tit Representatives in Congress, and the State Legislature, repeatedly remonstrated and | •fctcil against the protective Tariff System, and declared their interminable hostility to ! 'lulu the feelings of our people have been strong and urgent on this subject, they exercised a spirit of moderation and forbearance, under the prospect of ‘"-njciiigtflbrdcd. before endurance would become intolerable. We have looked to the '■'JxtiDguislmicnt of the public debt, as the period when we should be relieved from of unequal taxation. And our hopes have been strengthened and cncour ; •>,'in:i) the patriotic and independent course, which has been pursued by the present 1 U rated States, in arresting by hid veto, unconstitutional measures of ex urc. 1 his check upon the extravagant measures of Congress, has been well calcu strengthen the hope, that the Federal government might finally be brought back ,rill ‘ M p>os of the Constitution. Hitherto we have confided much in the Republican ~lut Lredom of discussion would eventually give to truth the victory over er consid(;r*n £ as we ought, that exceptions must be made, where the majority tici !! ° interest to decide erroneously.

It is truly gratify ing j to know, that the Southern [>eople are so web agreed, ns to tlje existence of the evils com j plumed of. i'his being the case, nothing but union and concert are wamii-g to give an ir ; resistable, moral force, to ouropiiiions and feelings, and to make ourselves formidable in i nil -' < u-nt. 1 o obtain tliis desired Union of action time and labor are required. I Ido not consider.the mode and manner of producing these joint deliberations material : nor do I care by what name such connncil may be called. I t is only necessary, that these measures should emanatfc directly, from the enlightened ■ ai.d delib-. rate will of the people ; founded upon ihclr inherent and unalienable rights; ad mittod to In- extraordinary,ami intended to meet a most extraordinary crisis. No state can act efficiently, in sustaining her just rights against a miglfty power, unless her own popula tion aro united in the policy to be pursued, icannot consider it advisable, for a single •'state, upon her separate action, to undertake to force a rcd.vss of grievances from the Fed era! Government, while her sister States, equally interested are not even consulted, as to j he policy to be pursued. Principles o( common courtesv concede to the members j oi the same confederacy, or copartnership, a rigiit to participate in all councils, wh- re the i subject undcrconsidcration, and the policy to be adopted, arc equally interesting to each | member. \> henever a case however shall arise, wherein a single state shall Ik- oppressed ! i by tlie usurpations ot Federal power anil that pressure shall he confined to her local inte rest alone, and consequently produce no identity of feeling and interest in tlie other States; lii.-n i wouid consider it the incumbent duty of the aggrieved State, to judge end act for nerseif, independently of the advice and opinions of others. It is due to the sovereign character of every state of the Union, to maintain itsterri orial rights ar.d policy ever its own population. These are rights which can- never he I sutrciidcreiMiy a <rec state, or submitted to the arbitration of others. But upon the sub ject oi the i arfl, shall Georgia undertake to rulress the wrongs of tiic w hole south ? Sliall j we riot hearken to the loiee and movements of our-siStec States, who agree with us in principle and feeling ! Or shall we preciptantly rush forward upon a novel and untried the ory, which may disgust our sister States, end in abortion, and prove to he worse than submission itself. J'he States whicli agree in principle, must he brought to act in concert, before they can reasonably hope to produce the consummation desired by the opponents! •<t the protective system, as well as every true patriot and friend of the Federal Union, i Separate action, upon this subject, is calculated to engender strife and disunion, anarchy and confusion, among breshren off the same principle. .1 he mystical doctrine of nullification, as contended for by its advocates, has only tend cd to bewilder the minds ol the people, inflame their passions, and picparc them fori anarchy and revolution. Wherever it spends, it engenders the most bitter strifes and; animosities, and dissolves the jmost endearing relations of lift-. 1 believe nullification, to I be unsctnid, dangerous and delusive, in practice as Veil as theory. Its advocates have, ; with great ability, endeavoured to make this theory harmonize with the principles anil operations of our Federal and States Systems of government. But in my opinion the'very essence of their doctrine tends directly to destroy all harmony between the Federal and state governments and must inevitably produce the .most direct and vexatious conflicts, whenever it may be attempted, by a State, to enforce "the theorv of nullification. Icm unable to comprehend or conceive of the peaceable constitutional harmony, which would attend a measure emanating from one twenty-fourth p-irt of the. Sovereign pdwer of tlm Union ; whicli measure should stop the revenue operations of the -Federal Government.— j Great ingenuity has been exercised, to blend this new theory with the admirable princi-) l!es and doctrines of State rights, as sot forth and successfully advocated by Thomas Jef ferson. But after tlie most diligent research, I have not been able to find, where .Mr. Jef ferson ever attempted to delude the people into the belief, that when reason failed, and en durance became intolerable, a single" State could by its act of nullification, force the Federal Government to retract from its measures -of usurpation. Mr. Jefferson would have called such a measure, on the part of a State, by its plain, proper name—resistance to in tolerable usurpation. Georgia should not suffer herself to be deluded or fettered into tlie belief, that her rights have heretofore been maintained upon the principles and doctrines of nullification, as 1 contended for by its present advocates. It is true, we may look back with pride and pain, j on our past conflicts with Federal usurpation. Upon several “occasions, we have been j compelled to throw ourselves upon our reserved rights, and resist. Federal encroachments; but we have never veiled ourselves in the flimsy garni mt of peaceful, constitutional nul-j lification. In these delicate and highly responsible acts, Gcorgit has always relied on her! own population, the justice of her cause; and the virtue-ami intelligence of .the people of' the United States, to sustain her unquestionable, constitutional rights. And hitherto our 1 confidence has not been misplaced ; we have had able friends and advocates in every part of the Union, who have stood nv us hi times of the gteatest peril. We are at present, very improperly charged with nullifying the intercourse laws and Indian Treaties of the United Statss: when in fact, these laws and treaties were set aside and had become measurably ob solete, by the acts anil assumptions of the Cherokee Indians themselves. Georgia, by her course of policy, has only nullified the arrogant assumptions of sovereign power, claimed and set up, by a remnant of the aboriginal race, within her acknowledged, chartered limits. Finally, fellow-citizens, lotussfrive to be of one. mind.—Let our measures bo founded in Wisdom,justice and Moderation—constantly bearing m mind the sacred truth, that a Nation, or State ‘ divided against itself, cannot stand.’’ WILSON LUMPKIN.

MR. WEBSTER'S TESTIMONY In fayou of Tin; PnnsiDEjrr of the Uni- ted States. • There was a “ National Republican Con vention, in Worcester, (Mass.) on the 12lli nit. at which the Magnus Apollo of tho North anil East, the lion. Mr. Webster, made a very long, a very elaborate, a very eloquent, aid a very jcsuitical speech. In that speech he has scanned with the eyes of a wiley and j experienced politician, all the proiYiinet sub -1 jecls’ of govermcntal interest, now agitating the country. At present, we have only time to notice onc.of them, in which the South is deeply interested. After denouncing Presi dent Jackson’s exercise of the Veto, as inimi cal to the peculiar genius ofour government,* Mr. Webster turns to that part of the Tariff, which is called tho Protective System, anil says : “ And first, what arc its principles, and what its policy, respecting the Tariff. Is this great question settled, or urtfcttlrd Ami is the preset administration for or a gainst the Tariff’? “ Sir, the qurston is wholly unsettled, and ihe priucipes of the nrltninistration, according <o its most recent avow iff of these principles, is adverse to the protecting policy, decidedly hostile to the wliolo system, root and branch , and this on permanent and alleged constitu tional grounds. “ Li the first phjifee, nothing has been done !r settle tile Tariff qm.%toii. The Anti-'l'urill gentlemen wno voted* for the late law have, none of them, suid they would adhere to it. On the contrary, they supported il, because, 's far ns it d was a reduction, and that was what thef%ished ; and if they allowed this degree "bf reduction now, it would be easier to obtained a greater degrtfe hereafter; and they frankly declared that their intent and purpose was to insist on reduction, and to pursue reduction unremittingly, till all the du ties on imports were brought down to one general and equal j>< r ccntaf'c, and that regu lated by the mi re ward of the revenue,; or that, if different rates of duty should remain on different articles, still that the whole should be laid for revenue, and for revenue only ; and that they would, to the utmost of their power, push this course of policy till protec tion by duties, as a special object of national policy, should be abandoned altogether in the national courn ils. It is a delusion, there fore, sir, to imagine that the present Tariff stands safely on conceded ground. It cov ers not an inch that has not been fought for, and must again be fought for. It stinds while its friends Can protect it, and not an hour longer.” Now, People of the South, let us, ask what hope have you that the protective system will be abandoned by your political oppressors?— None—none. M ill not too, some of our em inent and patriotic Statesmen, were will ing to throw our rights upon the just and yielding condescension of the Manufacturers, become convinced of their fatal error and their ruinous,though honorable forbearance? They will—they must. Mr. Clay, Mr. Ad ams, Mr. Wirt, Mr. Dickerson, and “tlio* last not least,” Mr. Webster, have told us, in lan guage not to be mistaken, (Hat tiro" products of the South must protect, by indirect taxa tion, the manufactures Of the North and East. Hear the hitter gentleman again re-echoing the declaration of his party in the last congrcs.B and coining as it does upon us, at this critical . ueriod, it would be less than childishness to ‘■nut noon a relinquishment of ' iie system of nioyppoly. lie says, “ft is a ! delusion to imagine that the present Tarifl stands safely on conceded ground. It cov ers not an inch that has not been fought tor- I It stands while its friends can protect it, and i not an hour longer.” Here is a settled and determined policy expressed and cvifirmed, not liy newspaper Editors or anonymous Es sayists, hut by the leaders of the great manu facturing party, —a party who are determined if possible, to make us slavishly tributary to Ih; ir inordinate spirit of Aggrandizement. Wc have in troth teed Mr. Webster’s as tes timony favorable to Andrew Jacksons* Ad ministration; and we might also with equal truth and propriety have added, aj testimony : in favor of the South. Hear him: “The I principles of the Administration,(says Mr W) according to its most recent rvnvul of these principles, is adverse to the protecting policy, decidedly hostile to the whole System root and branch, and this on permanent and alidged constitutional grounds.” And who ever doubted it ! TTY- never doubted it—although the misnomcrcd Union Party have appealed to our fears'by threatening us, not only with the Army and Navy or the U. States, but-also with “one hundred thousand musket beariTig freemen,” from tlie antagonist side of the Po tomac. These gentlemen have now before them the evidence of their idol—let them bow dow n and worship if. The Sjate Rights Tar ty will receivd it as they ought—as a deter mination on the part of their Chief Magis- \ Irate to support, w ith all tlie authority guar rantoed hiuuby his office, the long abuse*! and violated rights of the South. ‘lf inimical, why is the Executive vested with it 1 Is not the Veto a checking and discretionary power, wisely lodged in the Chief Magistrate for the purpose of correcting legislative corruption 1 GEORG IA J .EG ISI.ATURE.

We call the following letter frorti Mr. Buriiour, a resignation —inasmuch as it is a virtual abandonment of his pretensions to the Vice Presidency; because he well knows that the Legislature of Virginia will not nomi nate him. Wc have always viewed the political char acter of Mr. Barbour, with high respect —hut, in tips instance, we regret to say, that he has not manifested that fearless, straight-forward and independent course, for which ho lias herctolkire been conspicuously signalized. In retiring from the canvass, he ought to lifVe '‘bowed himself out” with a better grace. He ought to have tolflthe people, in plain words, that he w ould not contest the Vice Presidtfn-. tiul election with the regularly nominated democratic candidate. Had lie dono so, his friends, and the friends of ’Jackson, would have duly appreciated his motives. 'l’hey would then have seen at the first blush, that Mr. B. did not wish to hazard his popularity upon a probable contingency. But, not withstanding all this, we thank the gentle man for his letter, —because it will have the same effect even had it been expressed in more unequivocal terms. From the Jeffersonian and Virginia Times. To the Editor of tiiu Jeffersonian and Times. Charlottesville, Qct.2~>th 1832. Sin.—l have received the follow mg com munication from Judge Darbour, which you are requested to publish, . Very Respectfully, fours, 'i'llOMAis \V. GILMER. October, 2 Uh 1832. Sir. — l hog leave through you, as the Chairman oi the Corresponding Committee of the Convention, which met in Charlottesville in June last, to make known to my friends in Virginia, my feelings and wishes, in rclatiou to the divided electoral ticket, lately present ed to the people of Virgfnia. I am aware, that under the circumstances in which the'Committee were placed, and the resolution of the Convention, under which they acted, they could not have acted other wise, than they did. Recent events, however, have excited deep solicitude in nry bosom, ir> relation to that subject. Within a very few days aud just upon the eve of tie clccfidfi, I perceive opposition prints in various quarters, congratulating themselves, upon this division iu our ranks, anil cxultinglv .anticipating a triumj h fr<Sm that cause, it as these prints se.-m lo sup* I pose, their anticipated triumph should he r-- | alized; if, in consequence of the divided ; ticket, it should happen, tintt the vote of Vir* I ginia, should be lost lo the present Chief Ala gist rate, it would he to me a source of ttjc deepest regret. For, from the rominet’ce iiMnt, 1 have been opposed to taking nnv course, which would, in any degree, en danger his re-election. In this sentiment, [ am persuaded, that iny friends concur. In deed, i know, that some of those, who went ; most active in the Clmrlottsvifle Convention i —did concur. I may add, that there, as tve'l ; as elsewhere, where my name itas been pre-* i sente.d to the public, the proceedings and re solutions have all been eoiifirinatot v of this idea. Nor, do 1 consider this new ticket as indispensably necessary to the attainment of the object, which my friends have, in view Fur, if from the course oi' oilier States, there should seem to boa reasonable prospect of my election, I think that the lectors nomi nated by the Legislature, would in that event vote lor me. If on tho contrary, from the de volopeinctits in other Slates, the prospect of uiy election should appear hopeless then the electoral vote of Virginia, eve. , if tho ticket nominated in my favor,should succeed, would be unavailing, as it respected- me.— Under these circumstanced, it is that ugv IYm’imls throughout the common wealth, should vote for tlie Legislature tick et. Ido not presume to dictatelo them; but 1 feel assured, that they will receive these suggestions in the spirit, in which they arir made. 1 indulge tho hope, that in the present pos ture ol political afl'airs, they will agree with roe, as to t-'-c propriety of this course. If. however, they, orany pr-rtion of thorn, should entertain a different opinion, I appeal to (iiei candor anil sense of justice, for a correct pf. precialitm of tlic motives,! which have in* duccd me to make this communication. With sentiments of esteem, 1 remain, yours, respectfully P. P. BARBOUR. From the Journal of the l imes, printed at .Mils ledgrville, Georgia. Mediatory.
