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. Major Wood’s IScsoiutions. The following “preamble and resolutions, xere introduced on the second day of the ses 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 feemn protest against this usurpation, and now 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 hs State, though slow to act, have a fix d and determinate object in view, which der no circumstances, will they aban on, until the end is obtained, anil also to Mtil’y theinselues to their co-States and osterity, have determined to adopt the rowing course. |Be it therefore resolved by the Senate w House of Representatives of the State ’ Georgia, in General Assembly met, and is hereby resolved by the same, That m State of Georgia declares, that the Ta il!

Be it furtlier resolved by the authority hresaid, That it is recommended to the wizens of this State, on the Ist Monday •October next, to proceed to elect Dele to said Convention, to meet and con. “jon federal encroachments, and espe- B 'y on the act of Congress, passed in 1832. for laying imposts and duties: - ( t that the said Covcntion, be requested to send back to the States represented the course that they shall advise, for fu ture State action. Be it further resolved, That it is also recommended to the people to choose for that purpose Delegates from each judicial Circuit in the State, regard being had in the election, so that the sentiments oi the whole Circuit may be ascertained. Be it further resolved, That his excel lency the Governor be and he is hereby respectfully requested, to enter into a cor respondence with the Executives of the States of Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississppi, and Ten nessee, and also such other bodies as mav represent the views of their Constituents, having the above object in view, urging a similar course, and with the concurrence of a majority of said parties to fix the time and place of meeting of said Convention, and then to notify the Delegates elected from this State thereof. '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. Anti Tariff State Convention. Fourth Evening's Sitting. Thursday, Nov. 15. The names of the members being call ed, &z c. The President presented to the Con vention, the two following communica tions; which were read, and on the mo tion of Mr Berrien referred to the commit tee of twenty one: Milledgeville, Nov. 15, 1832. “Sir —Though not attending at Mil ledgeville in any official charue’er, yet at the request of my friend Judge Johnson, I do myself the honor to announce to you, that it will afford me pleasure to give to the body over which youpreside every in formation in my power respecting the sit uation and views of the State ofSouth Car olina. lam not the delegate of any par ty, though attending at the request of gentlemen with whom I have acted poli tically. Yet, as an individual, I shall be gratified if I can either afford information, or promote in any degree a mutual good understanding and co-operation between the Southern States, whose interest and whose injuries are so nearly indentilied. With the highest respect, I have the honor to be, your obedient servant. 'WILLIAM HARPER. Hon. G.R. Gilmer President Georgia Convention. Milledgeville, 15th Nov. 1832. Sir—l have the honor to announce to you that 1 have been deputed by the Union State Rights Party ofSouth Carolina to attend the Convention of the People of Georgia, now in session, and to communicate xxitli it in rela tion to matters of high interest to the South ern States, corresponding with those which will engage the deliberations of your body. In the absence of the lion. B. O’Neal, who was associated with me in this duty it will give me great pleasure to communicate with vourCo mention in such manner as it may think proper to ptescribe, on the subject of my mission,and to give any information which I may possess of the situation and views, as well of the State of South Catolina at large, as of the party whom I have the honor to rep resent. That the Convention may he fully posses sed of all the information which may he ne cessary to enable them to act advisedly, I take tlie liberty to add, that my friend Judge Harper of South Carolina, who stands deser vedly high in the estimation of the Free Trade Party of that State, is now in Milledge ville, and I have his authority for saying, that he will willingly impart any information he may possess. I have the honor to he, With great consideration and respect, Your humble servant, DAVID JOHNSON, Hon. George R. Gilmer, President Convention of Georgia. The letter being read, Mr. Berrien moved that they be referred to the Com mittee of twenty one, which was carried unanimously. Conventional Dehatcs.

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 will be published daily with anew type, by ma chinery, to be expressly procured for the purpose and on good paper, and will be put to subscribers at the price of Five Dollars per session, payable on the reception of the first number. 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, by the 10/A day of October. They are particular ly requested to do so, that the Editor may be en abled to make the proper arrangements, and to furnish promptly the first numbers to each sub scriber. ,11. ?/• .3. iter Will continue to publish the Macon Adverti ser, as heretofore ; and assures his patrons an tiie public that so far from the interference or con flict of the above publication with theinterestand management of the Advertiser, that he designs and believes that the former will greatly improve the latter.
