TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1833.
AtithTarif! State Convention.
Hie H. of Rep. this day, Nov, 8, with a spirit
of legislative courtesy and high patriotic state
feeling, which must forevercummend the mem
bers of that body to the grateful consideration of
their constituents, passed a resolution, tendering
the use of their hall, to t! e approaching State
Convention during its sittings, which will com
j inenco on .Monday next. Several energetic and
| eloquent attempts were made to put down the re
! solution, but notwithstanding, it triumphantly
! pr< vailed.
5 The resolution was introduced by Mr. Merri
j wether, and was opposed, as it seemed to us,
j with a view to depreciate the Convention hy a le
j gtslative vote. The gentlemen who opposed it.
i ought to have recollected, that, like themselves,
I the delegates were elected by the people—and e-
I lccted too, he it remembered, todetermine upon a
j a subject of mricli greater national importance,
j than any otbersubject over yet presented to then
j consideration. Indeed, we view the members of
j the Convention as being clothed with more iegit
| imate authority than the members of the I.egisla
; tore themselves—for they will present them
j selves before us as the representatives of a ma
jority of the people of Georgia, who, finding, that
the ordinary modes of legislation cannot restore the
violated the United .States, or re
move the oppressive exactions under which they
have labored for almost tiie quarter of a century,
are determined to resort to *’ first principles” is
the impolitic, unjust and unconstitutional Tariff
j policy is not abandoned.---Times
STATE C©A VEATIOS.
Wo give below, so far as heard from, tb'
names of the Delegates elected to tin- Cos: -
vention which meets this day in Milledgcviiie.
it will be seen bv a reference to our table
that there arc fifty-seven counties heard from r
all of which are fully represented. As many
of the elections* vvete held on the first Mon
day in this month, it is very probable that out
of the reiqamiiig twenty-five counties half ol
them will be returned, wh\ph wiil give us six
ty-seven counties out of the eighty. ThU
will represent, in round numbers, very nearly
! seven-eights ofall the counties m the State.
The represesentative population of the Suite
is, 445,554. From this population it will, he
seen that 337,120 of the free people of Geor
gia arc already represented, making moi-•
than throe-fourths .of the entire representa
tive population.
7’liese results we present to our readers—
and in presenting th. m, it would !>e supero
gatory in us to tell them, that it is tho voice
of Georgia, proclaimed in language not to be
mistaken. It speaks resistance—a determin
ed and effectual resistance to that part of the
Tariff which is called Pkotectivk. Out of
! the one hundred arid nineteen delegates oleo
ted, we verily believe there is not ten of them
who havetiot already denounced that syvstcin
of aristocratical monopoly, as a system, op
pressive, unwise, unjifstand unconstitutional.
Thus agreeing, almost unanimously, upon tin
I main point of our violated rights, and tlje vio
latcd rights of the Union, can we hesitate up
on the course to pursue ? If any other evi
dence, than the evidence already presented,
were wanting of the intention of the manu
facturers to fix perpetually upon us, a TAX
for their PROTECTION, it is to he found in
the declarations of the Hon. Air. Webster,
made by him, in his speech, at the Worcester
Massachusetts Convention. It is needless for
us to say, to the intelligent people of Geor
gia, that Mr. Webster comprehends wjthin
the circle of his political influence, the ral
lying points of the protective tariff men. And
what does he say in the speech to whibli we
have alluded ? Why, in plain terms, that the
protecting tax must not, cannot be abandon
ed—and in this declaration he 13 supported
by Mr. Adams, Mr. Clay, Air. Wirt, and Air.
Dickerson, the Magnus Apollo’s of our inex
orable and tyrannical adversaries. Is it not
then, we seriously ask, with this mighty in
fluence opposed to us, a matter of moral im
possibility to bring the majority which that
influence wields in the Congress of the Uni
ted States, to a sense of justice ? The ques
tion will be with the Convention. For our
selves, in the dark vista before us, we cannot
sco the faintest gleam of hope, to light us to
peace & unity, unless it he in a resort to fihst
pnixcm.Es—and in tho exercise of first
principles, one State has as good a riefit as
One hundred.
TR2 COWIIVTIOV.
Considerable debate occurred last eve
ning, on the subject of organizing the meet
ing, and of appointing committees. Tiie ap
p dtment ol committees wore opposed, upon
the ground tftat the character of the conven
tion nad not been ascertained, ami that it was
essential to know whether the members who
iiad presented themselves came as the repre
j sentatives oi the sovereign people. 'l'he hon
i arable members who urged these obj- ctious
) must have certainly been aware of their f’u
< tility—because the tr very presence was an in
jcontestible argument that the meeting was a
legitimate one: for, it should not be presum
ed that any gent! .than who had taken Ins scat
would have had the effrontery to do so vvith
; out proper credentials. The object, it scctn
|ed to us, Was to disorganize and dissolve tiie
convention—and in doing so to weaken the
determined stand which Georgia has taken
jin relation to the protective system, and
thereby place the convention in a ridiculous
point of view. We ardently hope however,
ihat. \vc are mistaken in our conclusions—
Georgia is, embarked on a subject of the
highest importance, not only to her interest,
j but the interest of the South, and the general
1 interest of the Union. No Georgian then,
I should by ■parliamentary management, at
j tempt to throw obstructions in the way of the
| glorious struggle in which we are engaged.
All miss and regulations havinga tendency
! to forcstal, circumvent, or evade free discus-
I sion, should be dispensed with—fot it is net
to be presumed tlnft every rritemher of tlfi
Convention is Versed in the usages of Parlia
ment or Con; ress, notwithstanding he may
! be well qualified to discharge his duty as the
unqualified ref representative of a free
pie who have sent him to defend th ,r
rights.
ATTI-TAIUFF fOUfVESTIO^.
The delegates to this deeply important and inter
esting body, assembled in the Representative cham
ber yesterday afternoon, and at 3 o’clock proceeded
to business, by the election of a temporary chairman,
when John Moore, esq. of Oglethorpe was elected
by eleven votes over Dr. Reese, of Jasper. The
members then announced their names and presented
their credentials ; Cl counties represented, and 195
members present. The election of President then
took place—Geo. R. Gilmer 70, Dr. Reese 53. Af
ter being conducted to the chair, he made an appro
priate and happy address: ho returned his thanks to
the convention, declared his reliance on its liberali
ty and courtesy—made some patriotic and spirited
remarks on the present struggle for justice and right
on the one hand, and lawless power and misrule on
the other—& the high character of the assemblage,&
its importance to the rights, interests, and future
welfare of the state and people—invoked a general
spirit of harmony and conciliation among the mem
bers—strongly enjoined them by foe sacred inter
ests they represented, the hopes of their constitu*
ents, and the vital importance of their deliberations,
to discard all minor and selfish considerations—all
private interests and personal jealousies—looking
only to the best means of attaining the great com
mon object of all, RELIEF from a burthensome &
unjust oppression: he declared his ardent wish for
a fqvorable and happy result from their deliberations.
VVm. Y. Hansell, Mansfield Torrance and
Moseley, were elected Secretaries.
Mr. Torrance offered a resolution for the appoint
ment of a com. of 13, to draft suitable views and re
solutions for the consideration of the convention.—
Mr. Spalding moved to amend it by inserting 21,
which being accepted by the original mover, Judge
Harris moved, to lay the resolution on the table: his
motion was loet. Mr. Forsyth moved a postpone
ment of the ree. until to-morrow, and on this motion
considerable debate occurred betweenmessrs. For
sytlit Berrien, Gumming, Clayton! Torrance, Gam
ble and Spalding; after which the motion was nega
tived, yeas 52, nays 67, and the resolution was then
adopted by a large majority.
Col. Rockwell offered a res, to appoint a com. of
three to draft rules and regulations for the govern
ment of the convention, which was adopted, and
mesrrs. Rockwell. Dawson and Alien, were appoint
ed. The convention then adjourned at half past 6
until 3 p. m. on the following day—Times;
66arction—Legiilatnre—Land
S>ra\iiMg.
The convocation of people which thes<
bodies have brought together, has crowded
ilfilledgeville4o overflowing. At Lo form r
period has there been such an immense con
course. The interest excited is yreat, and
many are the hopes and fears which excite
the great crowd now thronging the Capitol.
The politician and statesman are watching
with grqat solicitude the proceedings ot the
Convention and Legislature; and the plant. 1
and speculator are looking to the results ofthc
gold and land lotteries with equal anxiety.—
The Hotels are wedged,crammed, antf inun
dated with visiters, members, dtc. Several
of the Hotels contain at least 200 persons—
and the consequent difficulty of rendering a
prompt accommodation to evwy one, gives
rise to many amusing, and, some tirm s, per
plexing incidents, 'i he following humorous
notice of art occurrence which took place in
Worcester during its convention, may be con
sidered as illustrative of our situation sof ras
regards want of room. 14 is taken from*the
Boston Transcript.
O.i the first evening of the Convention, t.
teamster dropt up to the door of one of tiie
principle* taverns and asked for “ lodging for
himself and beast.” The landlord said U: t
he could not accommodate him, every bed m
the house being taken up. '-Well,” said the
teamster, lk l am not at all particular, 1 will put
up with part of a bed,’ “Part of a bed?” re
plied our host, ‘why my dear sir, there is not
a bed in the Inn, that has not two in it alri :ulv
and some of tiffin three and four.”
‘Well, can’t you let mp sleep in that . r
parlour?”
‘No, we are going to make up seventeen
beds there to-night, and they are all engaged.’
‘Well now, that’s curious; caji’t you give
I tne a buffalo skin and let me lav down here in
j the entry, 1 shant discommodatc nobody.”
j ‘No, I shant have you iti the entry, wcsliali
!.bc up all nigld, and 1 don’t want anv folks
differing and sprawling about the floor w in re
people are passing all the time.”
‘Well, by Gosh, you are an accommodatin '
follow,l don’t think,’ said the teamster—‘wo /
<li r it yo’ve got a tavern licence! Tell you
what, mister, yon have got no beds, no but
Dio shins, no nothing—well that ant vour
fti'lt just now, exactly, ut,’ continued he,
looking at the rack where a multitude ol
cloaks and surtouts was suspended, ‘what will
you take to Lt me hang on one of them there
pegs V
The laugh was fairly turned against the
landlord, —the company present interceded,
and the teamster was entertained princely—
hut at whose cxponcc the Boston delegation
'Sr)*
Civ” We ate requested to say that Col,
' l:rain Warner of Crawford, was not a candi
date for Brigadier General of the Ist Brigade,
tSh Division. His name was run without hit
know ledge.
We also take this opportunity to say that
Col. Moughon, and Mr. Butts of Jones were
not candidates for delegates to the Anti Ta
riff Convention, as it would have appeared
from the result of the polls in our last pa
per. *
STAYL RIGHTS.
Why were the articles of the' old Confede
ration given up and the present Constitution
adopted in their stead? It was mainly fertile
purpose of giving the power to the General
Government of managing our foreign rela
tions. Previous to the substitution of the
Constitution, the States found no difficulty,
each for itself, in doing their own legislation
—they knew best their respective wai.ts anu
interests ; were fully adequate io self-govern
ment, and felt no necessity of having a Fed
eral head as a guardian over them. This was
the strong bulwark of liberty under the old
Articles—the weak point in that government
consisted in want of power sufficient to main
its exterior regulations binding alike upon all
the States. Under the first confederacy, if
war for instance had become necessary, suci.
States only as were disposed to enter into it,
would furnfsh their proper quota of men and
means—the rest would withhold assistunci
and refuse supplies. So in treaties, some
would be disposed to abide by them alhl oth
ers to disregard them. Hence the necessity
of forming a Central Government whose for
eign negotiations should be (• ligatory upon
the whole Union. This was the essentia!
consideration which lead to the adoption o!
the present Constitution. It did not have its
origin in the inability ofthc Stab* to domes
tic legislation but in their inadequacy (acting
separately) to the management of their inteV
coursc with other nations. The framers of
our Government never designed it to inter
meddle with the internal policy of the States
—this was to be the work of the States them
selves. With a few specified exceptions flic,
have the full and exclusive control of tin
municipal government of the country each
one legislating tor itself, and to Congress be
longs the sole co'ntrol of our foreign affair.-
w it!) no power over internal mattars, save in
the few instances set forth in the Constitu
tion. This is the true spirit of our iiistitu
i tions—this is the true division of power bc-
