CONSTITUTIONALIST.
JIUGUSTjI:
FRUUY JULY 29, 1831.
WE have heretofore had occasion to remark up
on the tendency of the limes towards associations
»nd Conventions. By such means, the 'l and was 1
accomplished, and as it is but fair to turn the wea- t
pons of our enemies against themselves, we greet I
with satisfaction the proposition to hold an Anti- i
Tariff Convention on the 30ih September neat in i
the City of Philadelphia. We approve too, the i
suggestion of the Millcdgeville Journal
the appointment of Delegates from this State at the '!
Commencement at Athens ; not that we think the |
one proposed, the most judicious mode ot select- I
ing them—but because for the present—it is the!i
most convenient- and we would submit to great dis- <
advantages rather than the Stale should be unto- I
ptesented in an assemblage—having for its object i
the disenthralment of the country from the spells |
Which fraud and avarice have spread about it. I
Aside from the vigor which this Free Trade Con- 1
vention may be expected to impart to the great
cause of unrestricted commerce—is it not also pro- I
bable it will have the effect of allaying the excite- 1
ment in our sister and neighbor State f We ob- 1
serve the nulhiiers have been foremost in the selee- 1
tion of their Delega es, and we must hope when
the high spirits of that party shall mingle freely 1
with others patriotic yet more temperate —they will 1
return to the bosom of Carolina, chastened and
southed and with “healing upon their wings.” 1
Were this the only object in view, we should sail 1
cordially approve of assembling an Anti-'l at id' Cun- :
mention. |
What other matters will occupy the concourse
to be assembled at Athens besides the exercises ui
the College and the appointment of these said Uele -
gates ? Any one at all skilled m our politicks, will
answer at once, “the affairs of the nation” are there;
to be settled- In olden nmes it was urged as a re-;
proach to the Craw foul party, that its politicks were
arranged under the shadow ot ;he College, and to
dream of aught but science under the groves ot
Acude/nus was held to be gross profanity. In diesel
changing limes however, we fin., our quondam re
vilers —so soon as they have entered the sacred pre
cincts busily engaged—not in performing a lustra
tion—but in perpetuating a system against which
they had loudiy complained—schemes of political,
strife are still framed amidst clsssic bowers, and the
fountains of learning instead of the promised puri y,
pour forth the waters of bitterness still !—The atten
tion of the leading politicians of Georgia, then, will
We presume, be turned to the election of Gover- (
nor. The Clatk men will strain every nerve to in-{
sure the election of Wilson Lumpkin —and the;
Troup party will end.-avor—to do what ?—to com
mit suicide, by increasing and extending its schisms
and divisions f— Although—after all we have seen'
We are not Sanguine in any thing—yet Wc do hope i
and trust, a spirit of conciliation and amity will at ,
last prevail, and that forgetting grudges, griefs and,
wrongs, we shall unite a» a party in ihe support of
a single Candidate.
For ourselves—we prefer— Governor Troup—'
not because we do not entertain a proper regard
for the other Candidates—bin because at the pre
sent crisis— when an attempt is making to fasten
those upon us, by whom we have been oppressed,
Whenever they have been in power—to put down|
What we consider the sound doctrines of the Craw
ford Republican party—and filially, to the Pre
sidential vote of Georgia at the feet of John C Cal
houn—at such a time as this—we can best avert the |
threatened danger, by placing at the helm the pi-1
lot who once “ haa weathered the storm”—and can
do so again ! It has been said we are less moved
in our withes upon this subject, by our admiration
of Governor Troup than our hostility to Mr. Gilmer.
We have no such hostility on the contrary we
have the kindest and best feelings towards Mr. Gil
mer—and we will add towards Mr. Haynes but
in a moment of peril, when the par y to which we
belong, is in the act of falling— we are forgetful of
private considerations and look only to the general,
danger. Who—when the house they occupy is
•n fire, would stop to discuss partialities or enmities,
f instead of uniting in a strong effort to stifle the con
flagration, and prevent the blazing ruin from tumb
ling upon their devoted heads ?—Let us then rally
around George M. Troup— but if we cannot unite
upon him— let us unite upon some one —Mr. Gil
mer or Mr. Haynes—or Judge Crawford or any
ether worthy of our party i only in Unto* can we
fnd eafety ! We hope the gentlemen we have
named will all be at Athena, and that they will con
tent to offer one of their number as the RepuWi
ean Candidate—or if they cannot decide let the
Question be referred to their friends for a decision.
Since we began to write we have seen a letter in
the Rural Cabinet, by which it appears that injus
tice has been done to Mr. Hatxis—and we take oc
casion to copy it in this place—as germain to the
subject in hand.
Sfauta, 21st July, 1831.
W- Rntnntnn —l have just read in the Rural Cabi
’■ it traded from the Au
gu» • :;.j. iisr,. with your .omenta thereon,) which
that V;! Troup had consented to become a
c*.:; for the office of Governor, provided Mr.
! c, r sell would decline—that Mr. G. had
.iteu ■ ’o ’- ‘ t that 1 had refused.
Upon wnat amiiorny this statement was made, I
am unable to determine, but I beg leave to say to
my fellow citizens, that if Col. Troup has consented
to become a candidate under any circumstances, 1
am wholly ignorant of the tact.
It will be time enough for me to answer that ques
tion when it is propounded with the sanction of Col.
Troup—lf it shall be so propounded, the answer is
ready. —ln the mean time, I hope the press will have
no occasion to mention my name in reference to that
subject- T- HAYNES.

After discussing the Governor’s election—and the
Anti-Tariff Convention, what other topicks will de
mand the care of the Athenian Junta f —Will not
die occasion be apt for considering the benefits to
arise from a literary convention and a Rail Road Con
vention, and deciding upon the practicability and
propriety of these proposed measures f Surely
" Athens—n other of art
And eldquftnre, native to famous wits.”
is the proper theatre for discussing the interests of
science —and if a coterie may pronounce an Ami-Tariff
fulmination and send forth the word for the making
of a Governor—we see no reason why it should not
also decide in matters of Internal Improvements, and
issue an ukase • pon Rail Roads.—We may be allow
ed this passing levity upon subjects which we think
at the present time, are of minor importance—and
proceed seriously to suggest to the politicians of
both parties to be assembled at Athens, the proprie
ty of giving their attention to the present condition
and future prosperity of Franklin College We have
been accused of being inimical to the College ; we
are not, and have never been so. We have disap
proved sometimes the policy pursued towards it—
but we have never ceased to appreciate the bless
ings and benefits of liberal education, without which
Free Governments carlnut exist. A College under
proper management and well governed is ah orna
ment and safe guard to any State—but can such an
institution be judiciously conducted when sectarian
and political cabals are to be found within its very
Halls !—We do not say this is now the case—we
hope it is not j but whenever we have perceived
or thought we perceived a tendency to such a state
of things—we have .-poken out—and we shall do
so again under like circumstances. The College
belongs to the State and ii becomes every citizen to
maintain a watchfulness over its interests. We do
j think the proper location for an University is at the
seat of the government—but the decision has been
made—let the College at Athens be firmly estab •
fished and extensively endowed—let Its Professors
be selected impartially, from the most worthy and
without reference to political or sectarian bias —and
; which we fear cannot be accomplished, let the par
ty f 'aucuses be held at some other place—some wa
tering place or city or town or ville—any where but
. at Athens f
( In conclusion—we venture to hope tfiat—among
other affairs of Stale- the Athenian mind, may be
induced to think of RsnucTion and a Cohvestiow
to alter our ricketty Constitution.
i Two gross errors appear in the ztatements of the
I Chronicle, respecting the Philpot case; we shall be
1 particular in pointing them out in our next.
The Savannah and Ogechee Canal, is now in
good order, and in a condition to warrant the be
lief, that it will continue so. Wood and Lumber pas
.freely and in considerable quantities. We learn
,| from gentlemen well qualified to judge, that this
.Canal in its structure and execution, will advantage
ously compare with any in this country.
