If we permit the cmigrationg Indians to b harrassed and oppressed under the pre tence of legal proceedings, calculated to involve them in ruin and distress, the ob jects and policy of the General and State Governments, will be greatly impeded and the character of the State deeply injuried, (Signed) WILSON LUMPKIN.

They did not qncstion the authenticity of any gentle man’s credentials. This was honorable—it was magnanimous.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1832. Electoral Electors. We have received, returns iiom a num ber of States, but have not room at pres ent to specify them. These retui ns con vince us, that we will not be wrong in the assertion which we made at the com mencement of the Canvass, that Old Hick ory' will heat llenrv Clay further than he beat John Q. Adams. DC?" Our subscribers must he patient; every exertion is made to keep pace with the Drawings, Legislature, &c. . lhe dc terminasion to draw both Lotteries daily, makes our labor much greater, and an in creased number of printers cannot now ho had. The size of this sheet, shews our disposition to do all in our power. “ To protect jusil defend tlie right* oft Sic people.” One of the distinguished members fiom Richmond, in commenting yesterday upon this expression of the Athens resolutions, said, that it clothed the Convention with the power of driving at the point of the bayonet, &c., the Legislature from their Halls, —the Exefcutivc from his Department, —and, if we understood him rightly, the Judiciary from their seats. The gentleman upon reflection must admit that his assertion was hasty and immature, and discreditable to the expressed and specified object for which the Conven tion was called together. Does he not know that that body was not called together for the purpose of perpetrating such mobocratic out-’ rages upon the constituted tribunals of the State—He certainly docs. Does he not know that legislative and conventional bo dies are altogether separate and distinct in their character —the first being established and organized for the every day business of legislation; and the other for extraordinary cases which cannot be reached except by a resoit to first principles—a resort which can only be leferred to the representatives of the people in Convention ? Yes, he must, he does know all this. But th'c weakness of the gentlemen’s argument is more forcibly illus trated in the character which ho wishes to give the convention, based upon his remarks against that part of the Athens resolutions noticed above. Does the gentleman believe that the Convention would be “protecting and defending the rights of the people of Georgia,” by bayoneting the Executive, pis tolling the Legislature, or stabbing the Judi ciary ? If he does his ideas of protecting ami defending the rights of the people of Geor gia, are very, variant from what we consider their right—for we have yet to learn that the people have any such rights, or that their delegates were convened for that purpose. There is not an individual in Georgia, of or dinary comprehension, who is unacquainted with the cause which brought the Convention together; and the gentleman must excuse us, if we say that his affecting to misunderstand and mystify it, displays in our estimation, more of disingenuosness than sincerity, and not quite as much argument as sophistry. In the course of the animated discussion which took place on Mr. Forsyth’s Resolu tions, a great deal of sensibility was dis played by the audience. Indeed, more than was consistent with the high and solemn de liberations of the Convention. We are well aware how difficult it is for freemen to controul their feelings when their violated rights become a subject of discus tion. Whatever tends to the promotion of those rights are received by them with plau dits; and, on the other hand, any sentiment which they may think ever looks to their de preciation,meets with their decided disappro bation. When they reflect however, that these evidences of popular feeling have a tendency' seriously to interrupt the proceed ings of a deliberative body their good sense and patriotic courtesy will induce them to controul them. Grgia Anti-Tariff State Conven tion. No. 2. We have been interrupted in the regular course of our remarks on the Georgia Con vention, by the unexpected introduction into the House, of the following preamble, reso lutions, and plan of a Southern Convention, from Mr. Ryan, of Warren. As this move ment has a material bearing upon the recent Convention, we hope that a notice of it will not be considered a departure from our origi nal intention. Mr. Ryan’s preamble and re solutions follow : In the House of Representatives, Tuesday, November 2(1 h, 1832, Mr. Ryan laid on the table the following Preamble* Resolutions. Whereas the Tarriff law of the last session of Congress has not satisfied the just expecta tion of the people of the Southern States. Whereas the recent attempt to provide a remedy for the evils which we sufter from the orotective System, by a State Convention, lot only will probably be abortive, but is bkely, if persisted in, materially to disturb the public harmony and lessen the moral force of the State. And Whereas, the resolutions adopted hy the de legates of a minority of the People, &: which are about to be submitted to the whole State for ratification, are in several respects of a most objectional character, it becomes the duty of those who are the uriqustionable rep resentatives of the People of Georgia, to in terpose for the purpose of tranquilizing the public mind, and concentrating the public will, by a recommendation of a course of pol icy, which, they trust, will obtain the general approbation of the community—therefore, Resolved, That if a Southern Convention he desirable, it is expedient for the State of Georgia, to invite the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama. Tennessee, and Mississippi, to concur with her in electing Delegates, to a Convention, which shall take into consideration the Tar iff System of the General Government, and devise and recommend the most effectual and proper mode of obtaining relief from the evils of that system. Resolved, That in order to ascertain the sense of the People of Georgia on this Sub- jeet, the following plan of a Southern V vention, he submitted to them, and that rh* votes on the same be received at the a „n • ted time and places of voting for cou„K‘ cers, in I lie several counties of this Stat the Ist Monday in January next; that noL? son be allowed to vote on this matter h not entitled !o vote for members of th- (; “ oral Assembly ; that the vote be expreJku' endorsing on their Ticket.the words ? ern Convention,” or “No Southern Cm. tioni” and that a regular list be keptoflt votes so endorsed, and transmitted to the V < cutive Department by the officers Drp9i a *' at the elections. P esid “'S Man of a Southern Convention. Art. 1. The State of Georgia invites tk States of Virginia, North Carolina, So a Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, and Mjk sippi, to concur with her in electing I>,?' gates to a Convention which shall take ini consideration the Tariff system of the G e # al Government, and devise and recomnS the most effectual and proper mode of obia ing relief from the evils of that system. D ' Art. 2. She proposes that each i H viy State, shall send to the Convention, a numb, of Delegates equal to the number of SenaJ and Representatives to which such State is entitled in the Congress of the United Stay Art. 3. The Convention shall nottake nU unless five (5) States of the six, which it i a proposed to invite, assent to the proposal. Art. 4. The time and place of assembling the proposed Convention, shall be arrant and determined by correspondence amor; those who shall be duly authorised by fo States assenting to this plan. Art. 5. The Governor of this State is an thorised and desired to communicate the inii tation and proposals contained in the four pre ceding articles, to the Governors of the othei States above mentioned, with a request tha they be made known to the people of thosi States respectively. He is also authorise! and desired to arrange by correspodence th< time and place of assembling the proposer Convention, conformably to the provision o the fourth article. Art. 6. When the .time and place for Hi meeting of said Convention are determine* the Governor of this State is authorized an desired to issue his proclamation, with time! notice, for an election of eleven Delegates!) general ticket, to represent the State in sail Convention ; the election to be regulated!) the same principles as those which goverl the election of members of Congress. Iti also desired and expected, that the Legsla turc of this State, will make such proviso as may be necessary for carrying more cm plcte and readily into effect, the above pin if it should be adopted as proposed. Art. 7. If the Delegates assembled in Southern Convention, according to theabov plan, shall agree on a course of proeeedin which they recommend to the States repn senter.’, the Governor of tins State is author sed and desired to issue a proclamation, wit timely notice, for an election of Delegated a State Convention, declaring the time an place at which it shall assemble. SuchC vention shall consist of Delegates from even county, equal in number to that of its-men bers in the House of Representatireseftb State, and the elections for said Delegat shall he regulated by the same prineipies,.ir! authenticated by the same forms as eleclioi for members of tlie General Assembly, tho State Convention thus elected,.tbs i commendations of the Southern Conventii shall be submitted. If the same are appro ed by the State Convention, they shall’(hi he referred to the people for final ratifies'.* in such manner as may be prescribed by si Convention, & if they are ratified by the a jority of those persons entitled to vcfteft members of the General Assembly, the Sht Convention shall proclaim that the saidn commendations being regularly adopted,*: press the will of the people of Georgia; in shall also provide the mode of giving pern nent and authentic’rccord to such ratificatio Resolved, That if the above plan of a Soot ern Convention is adopted by the votes of majoriry of the citizens of this State, give in the manner therein described, it will b tho right and duty of the different function rics of the State Government, to afford alb cessary aid in facilitating its execution. Resolved, That we earnestly advise our f< low-citizens, not to give their voteson t Resolutions of the Convention recently! journed,as therein proposed. That Convi tion manifestly consisted of Delegates fron minority of the people; yet they submit tb acts for ratification to the whole people, a cording to a form contrived by thermite through the agency of persons appointed l themselves, while they themselves remain fin judges of the ratification proposed. Tosan tion such a procedure would open a door! the grossest imposition, would establishi alarming precedent for usurping the rigid ß the majorritv, and might ultimately expo us to ali the horrors of discord and anarclf Resolved, That while we would providi corrective for the possible continuance those evils of which we have so much reas l to complain, wo still hope that the regularfl orations of the General Government will s percede the necessity of any cxtraordinai measures on the part of the Southern l’copl and that we recognize the happiest augury better things, in the growing certainty of tl rc-elcctlon of that illustrious patriot, Andre Jackson. Editorial Remarks. We must, in the name of the people Georgia, strenuously object to the grou! which these resolutions occui/y. VVe that the gentleman who offered them, is ! honest and zealous advocate of tho sovcrcil rights of the States. Rut he will permit i to say to him, that the tendency of his mo'< merits, would go, were they carried, to tbe nihilation of all our boasted sovereign rigM What, let us ask Mr. R., constitutes < sovereign rights of a State? Is it not,— it is admitted on all hands that the Consh tu tion of the Federal Government has been v olated, —is it not we say, that any anti ever State suffering under such violation, I> M J right without reference to any other Stale, 1 act for herself ? Certainly. This is a pr> ciple iji political economy, which, if not mistaken, tho gentleman lias always a
