The delegates who are desirous of having their speeches published, arc respectfully in formed that it will afford us pleasure to pub lish them, if they will be kind enough to fur nish us with briefs—some are already receiv ed, and wo should be gratified to get any and all of the remarks of gentlemen. When re ceived they shall appear as soon as possible. TI! £ PUBllcpn 2 N TING. We respectfully beg leave to ask the Leg isluture, and'particularly the honorable com mittee appointed to contract for the public printing, whether it is in accordance with strict rulps of justice, to receive and act upon proposals made with an evident intention of securing the contract, at no matter what rate '! We know we can answer for them in the negative. * To explain ourselves. Proposals have been received from fivo or six different publishers, ail of whom, with the exception of one, make in their proposals various propositions for doing the work ; commencing at one, and one half cents, and ending with a multiplicity of fractions down to 64 mills. Now, it must be evident to the committee that this course must not only embarrass and distract them in making up a decision, but that it is 'also in compatible with a fair and honorable compe tition. If the contract has not yet been act ed upon, we would with due deference to the Legislature and the committee, suggest the propriety qf reviewing the proposals already received. Let it be determined who is the lowest bidder, at a definite bid, and, we will with pleasure abide by the decision of the Legislature. This much we beg leave to say in justice to ourselves. And such a course we think, would be giving all the competitors a fair and equitable chance, and enable the Legislature to dispose of the business at once. Georgia Anti-Tariff State Conven tion. No. 1. To understand the character oftiiis Con vention distinctly, it becomes necessary to re fer to circumstances preceding its organiza tion—circumstances which will inevitably have, hereafter, a material bearing not only upon men and measures, but upon the Snve- Rightoof tbo Sttc of Georgia. To the work then: It will he Remembered, that in September last (we believe it was in that month) a polit ical Triumvirate met in the City of Augusta, and called a meeting of the people, for the avowed purpose cf putting down a Conven tion, the advocacy of which was then spread ing throughout the who’e State, with all the impetus that patriotic feelings and liberal principles could urge. We wish here, to lie distinctly understood, that the Triumvirate, opened the Convention in its incipiency— & that they threw obstacles in the way of the people’s meeting together to appoint dele gates to a general Convention to maintain and defend their rights. After having done so, and finding that their opposition was fu tile, they called another Augusta meeting, and determined that it was necessary to send delegates to the Convention; not, however, for the purpose of main'* inirig and defending the rights of Georgia; but, lor the cxnres. id purpose of crushing and dissolving the Con vention which Contemplated the redress of those rights. The Triumvirate Committee had resorted to e very species of political strat egery to carry their point. They catechised candidates for Congress, and candidates for the Legislature—and we were only surprised that they stopped there; and had the peculiar modesty to refrain from catechising the Pres ident of the United States and his Excellency the Governor ofGcorgia. llow far such con duct is consistent with what the Fathers of the Federal Constitution considered a pure ly democratic and representative government, it will be our duty hereafter to enquire.— These remarksaie merely initiatory, and in tended only to show the nature of the opposi tion which was premeditated by a single coun ty against a Convention of all the counties in the State. The prime movers of the opposi tion, however, have already learnt that an efficient nictation to a State, requires more talent and influence, than it is necessary to exercise in dir tatirrgto a county. With this preface we leave the subject, until our next number. TRie Anti-Tariff State Convention. This highly important Convention, after a weeks sitting, (as will be seen by reference to the proceedings,) adjourned on Saturday last, to meet again on the first Monday in Ju. !y next. The retreat of the Fifty-three Se cedcrs, was a novel and unexampled proce dure. Their names are before the people, and it will rest with them to say, how far they have discharged tho sacred trust confided to their hands. For ourselves, we shall at an early opportunity review their conduct; and if then, it is not pronounced to be a departue from tho political and pecuniary in terests of the South, arid particularly from the political mid pecuniary interests pf the State of Georgia, we shall stand ready to forfeit all the public confidence which we may enjoy. * _ ~ CHOLERA. * Rumor, with her thousand tonges, has re ported a cause ofCholeia as h iving occurred in Milledge. The case alluded to has come under our immediate observation-—it was one of common dysentary. The patient, who was consigned to his grave, without his consent, is on his legs and well to do. We have seen with deep regret several communications addressed to tiio Georgia Courier, purporting to lie notices of the pro ceedings of t he Anti-Tariff State Convention, held in this place. The statements, or ra ther mistatements, made by the writer arc so flagrantly destitute of correctness, that we may hereafter call the attention of tho pub lie to them, in a particular manner. It will then evidently he seen, that the writer was in collusion with those -patriotic gentlemen, who boasted they could destroy and dissolve the Convention, in two hears after its organi zation.

On motion of Mr. Gordon, of Putnam, it was resolved, that the Convention procc forthwith to elect by ballot a President to preside over the Convention during its < liberations. Whereupon, the delegates present, proceeded by ballot to the election of a Pro dent, when on counting out the votes it appeared that George R. Gilmer a Dclcgi from the county of Oglethorpe, was duly elected. When President Gilmer was conducted to the chair, he delivered the follow qddress : Gentlemen—You will accept my thanks for the distinguished honor you have a ferred upon me. It is accepted with great diffidence, and olily from the dispositi to comply with your will. In my connection with deliberate bodies, hitherto, I have attended but little to j form of their proceedings. I must therefore rely, (and Ido so with greatnonfidei on the liberality and intelligence of this Assembly, in aiding the Chair in secui order, and in giving the best direction to tho business of the Convention. The appearance of this thronged audience is but an indication of the deep intei which is felt throughout our State, and beyond it, on the subject of our deliberate We are now, indeed, pfesenting the spectacle-familiar to old and despotic gov® mentsubut never in our country, of a struggle which is about to. commence, wli has indeed already commenced, between the people on the one hand, and the gove ment on the other, for ihe possession of power. The important consequences which must follow from what shall be done by I Convention, warns us to adopt such measures as will not only meet the apptcbal of the State, but be carried into effect with the united and determined action of Whole of its people. To do this, we must lay aside all personal interest, all indiviu feeling, all party jcafousics. That we may thus act, and that the happiest results our country may reward our exertions, is my strongest desire. They then proceeded to the election of three clerks, when on counting out votes it appeared that Wm. Y. Hansell, Benjamin T. Moseley and Mansfield - ranee were elected. On motion of Mr. Torrance—Resolved, that a committee of twenty one be pointed whose duty it shall be to report resolutions expressive of the sense ot convention in relation to the Protective System, and the best and most efficient m of obtaining relief from4he evils of that system: and that the said committee be ther instructed to report what objects ought to engage the attention of this com tion—and what will be the most efficient means of accomplishing the same.
