Athens, April 6,1827.
The Report of the Georgia Education Society, in
this day’s paper, we believe will be interesting to
itiany of our readers, and we hope Will be service
able in securing to it a proper support.
We learn from tie Milledgeville Recorder that Mr.
Van Buren, intends visiting Mr. Crawford in the
coorae of his excursion. If so we cannot but hope,
that we shall at least be favoured with a sight of one
whose tour of pleasur* can excite such consternation
and confusion in the ranks of his opposers, or be
considered so alarmingly portentous of evil to the
cause of the administration.
Major John W. Hunter, appointed by the*^V T ar
Department as agent for the settlement of the mili
tia claims for services rendered daring the years
17'.% ’93, and ’94, has arrived in Augusta, and re
ported himself as such to the Executive of Georgia.
We cannot forbear, while some of those presses at
. home, opposed to the present state of local affairs-—
with others abroad, the avowed champions of men'
and measures, from considerations of interest or po
licy, without reference to the ultimate tendency or
effect to which such a course will lead, are indulg
ing a spirit of relentless opposition to the Executive
of Georgia, for his recent defiance of the military
menace with which the state has been threatened
of connecting this declaration of resistance to the
power of government in the event of its being exer
cised, with some circumstances of a prior date.
They evidence a shameful inconsistency on the part
of some of our northern friends, by opposing a law
ful resistance to unlawful aggression: while a recol
lection of their own rebellion against the measures
of this very government, still survives. Was this
the first instance of a fearless remonstrance* against
the wrongs of government, or ofdelefmined opposi
tion to the authority of rulers, the apprehension of
the timid might, with justice, be alarmed. We shall
binding the necessity, or strong the policy which
urged to the adoption of energetic measures, could
induce them to render even a feigned acquiescence
to the will of the nation. One of the evils enumera
ted in the Declaration of Independence as having
been practised by the British government, that of
having “ quartered large bodies of armhd troop3
among us,” was charged upon the government of tho
U. States, when her object was the protection of their
seaports, and the defence of their liberties .* yet
Georgia, in time of peace, with the militia of the U.
S. upon her territory to prevent the execution of her
laws, is denied even the privilege of remonstrance;
or if she lifts her voice against the unconstitutionali
ty or injustice of such proceedings, is considered a
disorganize^ a traitor, an enemy to the union.—A
memorial drafted about the same time by the citi
zens of Newbury, appealing to the legislature to pro
tect them from the encroachment of the general
government, is still more seditious in its character,
and hostile in its views, shewing them ready to “ re
sist even unto blood,” any further acts of our national
councils for the support of the war, in preference to
bearing a yoke so galling to their necks, or enduring
measures in such direct opposition to their interest.—
The following arc among many others of the same
cast— % ’ ^ * ttl
“ In support of these nefarious measures, we" have
seen a system of taxation resorted to, whuse op
pressive and unequal operation could only be cn- :
dured in support of a just cause, and is altogether!
intolerable in advancing the present wanton an-1
wicked one. ■' <*>• k
“ We have seen things in silence, because we re
spect that Constitution, once sacred fo all of us,
and which was framed, when it was net supposed
possible, that folly leagued with knavery, and stu
pidity associated with fraud, would ever have it in
their power to prevent its wise and whclc3ome pro
visions. But that Constitution, long secretly under-
minded, has at length been, openify, set at defiance. .
| “In thisnlarming state of things we can no longer
be silent. YVhen our unquestionable rights arc in

what it may cost us to defend them. We-’
