MINORITY at HOME
We cannot pass over in silence the fourth
resolution of Mr. R-, which unjustly stigma
tises the Convention in the following words,
. , ((That Convention manifestly consisted
'!■ Delegates from a minority of the people ;
etthey submit their acts for ratification to
[he whole people, according to a form contri
vei by themselves, through the agency of per
sons appointed by themselves, while they them
telees remain final judges of the ratification
proposed.” This is a serious charge—but,
fortunatelv, it is charge which the gentleman
cannot snbstantiatc. We have no hesitancy
ourselves in saying, that the Delegates to the
Convention were elected under an authority
as high and uncorrupted as that which the
Legislature itself enjoys. Had Mr. R. exer
cised a little patience, and examined the cre
dentials and read the resolutions of the Com
mittee of Twenty-One, he would never have
presented such an unreflecting and condemn
atory resolution to the House,
In the last resolution proposed by Mr. R.
le labors under a political error. We be
lieve with him, that Andrew Jackson is with
E in our opposition to the Protective (misne
uiercd American) System. But he should
recollect, that there is a majority of at least
tivo-thirds in the Congress of the U. States,
ready to support that system ; and, however
disposed that illustrious patriot ami truly de
mocratic statesman maybe to dispense us jus
tice, that majority is able to disarm him, and
render nugatory the exercise of a veto.
We hope his preamble, resolutions, and
PLAN will be laid over until June next.
The Convention is willing to consult with
any and all of the Southern States, as she has
expressed herself by resolution—but neither
(lie Convention, or the people, who called the
Convention together, are willing, we think,
to commit the arbitrament of their rights to
any other sovereignty, but their own.

The following “preamble and resolutions,

s>n, and ought to have been published be
fre now —Slade.
The era having arrived, so glorious to
air country, as the certain extinguish
uent of tl e Public Debt: it consequently
ecomes necessary that the revenue of the
General Government, should be reduced
and udapted to its disbursements. And
whereds the Congress of the United States, contin.
ling to persist in an unequal, unjust, and onerous
ysteii of taxation, particularly oppressive to the
of the South, as well as contrary to the
biritiof the Federal Constitution, that has given
fee (o a just excitement among the people, which
no) allayed, may alienate the affections of our cit
lenf, from our happy government and ultimately
iaito a dissolution of the Union, the rock on which
xrjirosperity is based. And whereas this State, in
ir sovereign capacity has heretofore entered her

tough this Legislature, emphatically denies
ht Congress has any power derived from
lie Federal Compact, to lay a Tariff, for
he protection of manufacturing labor in
me section of the Union, at the expense
mdto the special injury of the rest. Geor
ia at the same time disclaiming any wish,
ndividually, to array herself against the
injast encroachments of the General Gov
nment yet is free to avow, that when the
roper period arrives, she will be found
spared to discharge the high duties, that
'ay devolve on her. And whereas the,
legislature deem it highly necessary at
period to declare, that the people of

'lTiic Georgia Journal.
Our able and talented contemporaries of the
Georgia Journal read us a lecture this morn
ing on our duties as public Journalists. It
appears that they conceive themselves pos
sessed of an exclusive right to the “loaves
and fishes” of legislative patronage ; and un
del that conception they deem it a “ high
crime and misdemeanor,” for any one to at
tempt a competition with them.
AV c have not, as has ,een erroneously sta
ted, presumed to “ instruct” in the discharge
of their duly, the committee on printing’. We
merely, as printers, laid before that respecta
ble committee a statement offsets in relation
to the irregular mode of some of the proposi
tions—and, as printers, we had a right to do
so; not only in justice to ourselves, but in
justice to the State, and to a fair and honora
ble competition. We have rights as well as
the Georgia Journal, and we will try to sus
tain them.
The allusion to the Macon Advertiser car
ries with it so much of liberality and courtesy,
that we ask to make our best bow to the Geo.
Journal. And having done so, the Journal
will forgive us, ‘if wc say that we have as
much right to be in Milfedgeville as they
have, and are as far removed, if not farther,
from the character of pkdler, as an editor
from beyand the other side of Mason and
Dixon’s line, ft would be well for the state,
and we do not say it egotistically, if there
were a few more such Pedlers at the Seat of
Government.
We have yet to learn, that they of the Jour
nal, have the privilege of excluding this or
that press from the seat of government. If
they have not that privilege, they seem to be
desirous of exercising it—and we have now,
no doubt, that they would, if they could, send
the Macon Advertiser, and the Journal of the
Times, to the Antipodes. But, the Journal
must again excuse us inobserving,that we re
ally cannot submit to such expatriation—not
to sav proscription.
We beg that hereafter, the Jour
nal will distinguish between the Macon Ad
vertirer and the Journal of the Times.
CoS. RocSiWcllN rr.isarliN in Con
vention.
\ The resolution of Mr. Forsyth being un
j der consideration, and the amendment offer
ed by Mr. Berrien, Col. ROCKWELL rose
and said—He had not intended to mingle in
this debate, but the wide range which the ho
norable gentleman from Richmond (Air. Cum
in ing) had taken in the discussion, had pro
i duccd a change in that intention. 1 crave
(said he) the indulgence of this body for a
few moments, briefly to express my views up
on the matters under discussion.
Gentlemen seem to be disposed to embar
rass the proceedings,-by the introduction of
matter, foreign to the subject before the Con
vention. The honorable gentleman from
Richmond, (Mr. Forsyth) introduced two re
solutions, both having specific objects, the first
being under consideration, the honorable
gentleman from Richmond, and his wot thy
and intelligent colleague, had pressed into
the discussion, topics foreign to the object
proposed by that resolution.
1 have understood, that a practice some
times obtains in another body—exalted for
its character, and distinguished for the wis
dom of its members, to propose one subject
for consideration, and to discuss another —hut
I have yet to learn, that such is to be the
course of this convention, and l hnpe its mem
bers will be unseduced by the illustrious ex
ample.
Sir, I had hoped that we did not come here
to carry points, or to try skill with each other
in the art of Polemics. I had supposed the
object of our assembling here, was to discuss
principles in reference to other matters vital
ly interesting to the people ot Georgia, not
to cavil about forms. For myself, such was
mv object. I came here, sir, to ascertain
whether Georgia has indeed sunk into a mere
petty corporation, or whether, as in the prime
val purity of the confederacy, she is yet en
titled to maintain the noble bearing of a so
vereign state. I came here, further to learn,
whether the General Government is in truth,
adorned with those beauties which captivated
,ny youthful fancy, and claimed the homage
of my riper years, or whether it be all il
lusion. I came here to learn, also, whether
the Constitution of my country is indeed
what it purports to be—what it was designed
to i,e—to form a more perfect union—to es
tablish justice —to ensure domestic tranquili
ty to prov ide for the common defence, and
to secure the blessings of liberty to all, or
whether touched by the magic wand ot the
enchanter, it has been transformed into an m
strument of oppression, bestowing all its hies
linrsou the manufacturing, and all its curses
on the planting slates. Upon these topics I
expected to he enlightened by the honorable
member from Richmond, and Ins "' tc, * | gc n j
colleague, but from an intimation which fell
from him yesterday, I am apprehensive of be
ing denied the pleasure and instruction l had
anticipated. , ,
Sir, the hon. gentleman from Richmond,
Mr. Forsyth, was pleased to observe yester-
THE MACON ADVERTISER.
day, in reply to a question put to him hv mv
honorable inend iroin Clark, that his inten
tions and views were expressed in writing, and
xv ere to be found on the Secretary’s desk ; in
tending, as I understood him, to refer to the
resolutions submitted by him. To the reso
lution, then, let us direct our attention. I ask
the indulgence of the Convention, while 1
give that resolution a brief examination.—
One remark of the jion. gentleman, Mr. For
syth, I will, however, first notice. If l err not
in speaking of the supposed want of authori
ty of this Convention, he remarked in sub
stance, that a neighboring State had called a
Convention by its legislature, which would he
legally and constitutionally organized. In
tending, as I understood him, to convey the
idea that a Convention differently called,
would not be constitutionally organized. Did
it not occur to the honorable gentleman, that
the constitution of the State alluded to, had
prescribed that inode ot calling a Convention;
but here tile case is different, there is no writ
ten mode prescribed in Georgia : was it in
tended to refer to the example of the neigh
boring State, vvitli the view of shewing that
Conventions are illegal without legislative in
terference? was it designed to convey the idea
that the people cannot legally act without the
authority of the legislature 7 Why sir, such
a position would place the people at the feet
of their servants. But sir, although our au
thority to assemble, is found in no Constitu
tion—ordained by no human Convention—
recorded in no fundamental charter of Go
vernment, or bill of rights, yet it is to be
found in the inherent, inalienable, sovereign
right of the people, to assemble by delegates
for any and all purposes. It is written oyer
the dwelling of every freeman—it is stamped
in fadeless characters on the heart of every
Georgian.
Sir, to the resolution upon the Secretary’s desk,
I am opposed, and shall support the amendment
offered by the Hon. gentlemen from Monroe. The
resolution proposes what is impracticable, the
appointment of a committee, to report the autho
rity of the persons assembled as delegates—the
resolutions under which the election in each
county was held, the notice given of the time and
manner of holding the election, the number of
votes given in at the election for delegates and
the number of votes in the counties. Wherefore
the necessity of this scrutiny, why this inquisi
sition ? The very proposition implies a want of
confidence in gentlemen who profess to repre
sent their respective counties. In reference to
the authority of delegates here rtssemblod, I am
disposed to take the word of gentlemen,that they
are wliat they profess to be. If any one here be
not properly authorised, it is a matter between
him and his constituents or the people of his
county. But from the perusal of the credential*
there appears to he none,who have not at least,the
autliority of a portion of the people, in each coun
ty, except in two instances, where counties are
represented by more delegates than other comi
ties.*
Sir, the hon. gentleman, Mr Forsyth observed
yesterday, that unless he could he satisfied, that
those here, were properly authorized, he could
consent to discuss no proposition connected with
the objects of our assembly. Pray Sir, what
would sa isfy the gentleman ? would he require
such testimony as would be necessary to estab
lish the existence of a fact in a court of of justice,
or would he accept of newspaper publications,
or copies of the resolutions without being attested
on oath, or requiring tliat the original should be
accounted for—which, would be equal to legal
technicality—a compliance with which would
produce infinite delay, and occupy more time than
the limits of this Convention would authorize.—
Suppose the case of a given number of voters in
a 0011111}’, a portion of whom only were disposed
to vote for delegates, and a majority of that por
tion should exercise the right —would it be con
tended that a d.elegate thus elected, should not be
entitled to his seat ? Ido not profess to he ex
perienced in these matters, but it seems to me,
that in all moral bod ies, in the exercise of perfect
volition, a representative of a majority of those
who choose to aet, would be the representative
of the whole, since those who declined to vote,
w r ould be understood as acquiescing—passiveness
implies acquiescence—but it is not the quality of
opposition— action is its peculiar characteristic.
ISir, the Hon. gentleman last up, Mr. Cumming
has in the course of his remarks adverted to the
meeting at Athens. 1 had the honor to be at that
meeting, and I will inform him, that it was com
posed of citizens of high respectability from dif
ferent parts of the State—Aye Sir, as respectable
as any in Georgia. In connection with that meet
ing, or in reference to it,lie has been pleased to re
mark somewhat severely upon the character of
the supposed action of this Convention. 1 do
not know, Sir, what will be its character,until the
proceedings of this body shall have been put on
paper,and be sanctioned by the majority. VV hat
everit may he, 1 will acquiesce, but 1 most fer
vently hope, it will be such as to present to the
world, another example of a free people, resolved
to resist oppression.
Sir, in every country where the votaries of
liberty—(the word liberty appears to be in had
odour here with some gentlemen —yet 1 will
venture to use it) —I say sir, in every country
xvhere the votaries of liberty have erected a
temple, or constructed an altar—her waving
banner bears the proud inscription “Resis
tance to Oppression.” And he who would
stifle this sentiment, is fit only “to live and
die a slave”—in his bosom is lo be found no
kindred feeling which gave birth to the soul
inspiring sentiment of the gifted patriot of
Virginia—“give me liberty, or give ine
death.” .
This may he termed enthusiasm—if it be
so, it is an enthusiasm, kindled and fed by
the holy fire of freedom, which burns like the
vestal flame in the sanctuary of the Roman
Priestess, —extinguish it, and the hopes of
liberty arc gone forever.
The Honorable Gentleman from Richmond,
(M r. C.) was also pleased to advert to Nullli
fication. 1 had hoped that this word would
not have been heard in this hall. It is an ex
citing word, and with permission 1 will sub
stitute another term in its place— efficient re-
sisfance.
[Mr. Cumming rose, and enquired, if it was
m order to refer to a subject, which altho’ rt
had been mentioned by him, he had forborne
to press.]
Mr. Rockwell continued —because thegcu
tleman, chose voluntarily to abandon, a sub
ject which he had himself introduced, does it
therefore put a seal upon my lips?. I trust
not, sir. l ardently hope, that the proceed
ings of this Convention will be marked by
efficient resistance. Such as shall become
Georgia to adopt—such as shall bring the
•Cherokee and Ilcnry couni<*s.
General Government back to (he limitations
of the Constitution. My first allegiance is
due to Georgia—and whatever shall be de
termined upon by this body and shall be rati
fied by the people, 1 xvill support, whether it
be right or wrong. With this sentiment I have
lived, in its support, l uni prepared to die.
TSiR LETTERS
Of Jitilge* Harper and Johnson.
The spirit of courtesy which is displayed
in these letters, addressed to the President of
the t 7 corgi a Anti Tariff Convention, is high
ly creditable alike to the Judges Harper ami
Johnson. It displays that gentlemanly and
honorable feeling which should always regu
late the conduct of high minded and patriotic
statesmen, in the conflict of rival opinions,
when engaged on topics of gn at national
concernment. We must here, however, take
occasion to correct an error into which we
have fallen. Jn announcing the arrival of
the two honorable gentlemen alluded to, we
took occasion to say, that they were, both,
delegates from their respective parties in
South Carolina. In doing so, we uninten
tionally made a mistake. For, by reference
to the letters, it will be seen, that the lion.
Judge Johnson, and the Hon. B. O’Neall,
alone, were officially delegated to attend up
on tile Georgia State Convention, as repre
sentatives of the Union State Rights Party of
South Carolina.* And that Judge llarpcr
only appears among us, in the unobtrusive
character of a visiter, who is friendly to the
Free Trade Party.
May we he allowed, on this important oc
casion, to ask a question? We hope we
may. We will then propound it. Ii is this.
Which of the Parties, in South Carolina, ev
idences the greatest disposition to meddle
and interfere in the municipal concerns of
our State, —the one officially delegating rep
resentatives to our Convention, or, the one
which does not do so ?—Let our people, and
our peoples Convention answer the question.
• The reason of the latter gentleman's not ap
pearing, will be found in Judge Johnon’s letter.

rjIHE people of Georgia are much in want of a
A medium of intelligence which will promptly
transmit to them the “Proceedings” of- their Le
gislature. We are not only generally, but indi
vidually concerned in all acts of legislation, be
cause these acts involve personal as well as poli
tical rights, between which there exists a most in
timate connexion. It is the interest then, of ev
ery man in the community to be timely acquaint
ed with the action of our representatives upon
these righ.ts. This is a desideratum—to supply
which the Journal is intended. At the present
we labor under much inconvenience for the want
of it. For near, and sometimes more than three
months after the expiration of tire Session, the
Laws of the State, with a few exceptions, are as
a “sealed Hook” to the great mass of the people ;
and frequently, such are the injurious eifects pro
duced by this delay, that men have been known,
w ho, in obedience to a prcctd ug, have actually
violated a subsequent law which had been revers
ed or modified- not knowing that a new had been
substituted for an old law.
In addition to the entire proceedings of the Leg
islature, the Journal and History - , wiii contain
the general intelligence of the day, and its inte
rest will be increased by faithful reports of the
transactions of the important Redress Conven
tion of Georgia, which contemplates sitting in
Milledgevilie, the ensuing session. The Debates
in the Convention, as well as those in the Legis
lature, will he regularly and correctly reported;
for which purpose arrangements are making with
a capable and experienced Stenographer.
The Journal and History of the Times, will
he published daily, and the Legislative and Con
ventional Proceedings of each day laid in extenso
before the public on the subsequent morning, and
immediately transmitted to any part of the State
to which the paper may he ordered.
The large and interesting mass ef information
which this Publication will contain, and the great
expense which must be incurred to carry it into
operation will require a liberal patronage, and
suclt a patronage the editor llatturs himself will
be extended to him.
It is unnecessary to enlarge on the convenience
and important utility of such a publication to
members of the Legislature, in enabling them to
ascertain immediately the precise state of any
measure in which they are interested and to keep
their constituents advised of the progress ofpuls
lic business, without the abstraction of time and
attention iVom their special duties, expended in
letter writing.
'Perms— The Journal find History of the 'Times

and on good paper, and will be put to subscribers
at the price of Five Dollars per session, payable

Those to whom subscription lists will be
sent are respectfully asked to lend their exertions
and influence to the undertaking, and to make a
return cf any subscribers which may be obtained,

TPIIK number of the Lady’s Book, for Septem
her, contains a well executed .engraving 8n
steel, representing a subject of peculiar anil pa
thetic interest. It is from thiigraver of an artist/
distinguished for his excellence. Thefe are, be
sides SCvrral engravings on wood, among which
will he found a very nest and spirited view of itiS
Cholera Ilospi’al at Paris, which lias been cho
sen on account of the pervading interest at pres*
ent attached to the pestilence which has every
where spread such desolation.-
T..e literary contents of thi3 number comprise
a variety of interesting articles, which maybe
re id with pleasure and profit* We are also ena
bled to present the award of the Prize Committed
which we have printed at large, on the covcf of
our Book. By this, it will he seen, - that the pre
mium has been awarded to Miss Leslie, a lady,
whose taients have won for her a high reputation
on both sides the Atlantic, and one who possess
as much power in delineating scenes and charac
ters with tier pen, as her eminent brother whose
works are subjects of universal admiration, has
exhibited with bis pencil.
Mrs. Washington Potts, the story of which
has been distinguished by the unanimous appro*
•ation of a committee composed of gentlemert;
whose taste and judgment are*undoubted, will be
' published in our next number. It is a lively pid-'
’ lure of life and manners, drawn with great skill
and discrimination, and a strict fidelity to nature;
W'e venture to a predict for it a tribute of gene*
1 ral applause.
Among the other stories submitted in cdmpe-'
tit ion, there are many of great merit. These
would have been specially noticed and commen
ded by the committee, but for obvious
such a course was considered unadvisable.—
They will be published in the sncceeding num*'
bers of our work, as opportunity may oiler*
U p hope to make the October No. of be La*
dy’s Book superior to any ofits predecessrs* Jrf
•unlit on to the Prize Tale, it will contain several
spirited original articles, in order still further
■ improve the book, we have employed a young
irtist, whose present performances give brilliant
-romise of future distinction, to superintend thd
inbollishments, and he is now engaged in pre
paring a plain o£ the Fall {Fashions, wl 1 h we
inay safely affirm will equal in point of J xecution'
any we have hith-rto published. We have also
in course, of preparation the portraits of several
distinguished individuals.
We take this occasion to remind our fiends'
that the edition we are printing of the current vo
lume, does not far exceed the actual numbef of
subscribers, and it will therefore be necessary for
those who wish complete settto make early ap
plication. Since the subsidence of the Oholera
to the North, and East, our orders have increas
ed to such an extent that we feel hound to state
the fact, that those who wish tho work may see
the imprepriety offurther delay.
