TO THE EDITOR OP THE ATHENIin. The annals of the republican world proba bly do not furnish thu history of any legisla tive body, hy which tho (into and money of their constituents were more wastefully ex pended, ns little to their profit, as by the Le gislature of Georgia at its late session; and it is equally probable that there never was one since the dawn of republican institutions, whose members made ns windy professions of lovo for tho people and loyally to their will, and yet as palpably disobeyed that will, and did ns little for the lasting interests and prosperity of that people. While they should Ituvo been hastening to perform the business of the coun try. and accomplish the legitimate purposes of legislation, their time was consumed in po litical muriuHivering, and in angry disputatious about the merits and demerits of the great po litical parties which have divided and dis tracted the country for tho lust five years. Sometimes it is true they would separate dis contented wives and husbands, and incorpo rate a village or an academy ut the cost of a thousand of the public treasure; nnd anon they would arraign at their bur the proceedings of other states, and tho opinions, doctrines and motives of other men, which were as Ibr- tgn to the appropriate objects of legislation, ns an enquiry into the policy und principles of the English Cabinet could have been, and of as little public utility nnd importune ad against the usurpations (if Don Miguel. The two houses of the Legislature were si multaneously greeted with Ihe appearance of set of re.solutioiis, neither the introduction, discussion, or passage of which could have been expected or even intended to promote the public interest, or preserve the public funds, but which could Ituvo been intended lor nothing else except the advancement of party views, Ihe aggrandizement of political uspi- Jills, and the utilise of distinguished men, hose popularity in the state hud placed them nil an eminence which was beyond the roach of the power, if not of the insidious envy of he movers and supporters. Resolutions like these which were the offspring of an ill-con certed plan, the work of un inefficient and in congruous bruin, ns might naturally be expect- d. wore productive of some «f tho most strange and extraordinary tmtnileslosof politi cal iticousisluncy, that ever entered the head or fell from the lips of man. To this class ol productions may iie referred n speech printed in Ihe Southern Recorder, of Jan. 20tli, as Ihe written-out substance of a speech delivered in the House, by thu honorable member from Bibb county, in support of the resolutions al luded to, mid which, coming us it does from n man bearing u character for talents and accom plishments, is the most exquisite compilation of political dogmas, the most strangely con nected together, live most inconsistent with each other, with themselves and with thu text on which they are predicated,that has made its appearance among us since thu commencement of our political contentions : nor enn it dis- burthen itself of this load of inconsistencies, under tiie pretext that it comes from the ini perfect notes of u reporter, for it comes like a certain other celebrated communication did, which that slavish and worsn than ultra federal doctrine, that Congress has a power to sell a Slate, a sovereign state of litis Union, was maintained and set forth ; it comes ulier the warmth of debate has subsided, coolly and deliberately from the closet, prepared with care and caution In meet the public eye, and engage the public upprohalion- Tlte ostensiblo reason for introducing the resolutions as apparent upon Ihutr face, wits, to express the prevailing feelings of the citi zens of Georgia, upon the Tariff of ’28, the internal improvement system, and the re-elec tion of Gen. Jackson to the Presidency ; while the real object of the mover and support ers was to crcuto a diversion in favor of their party, by exciting the public indignation against the new sprung doctrine of nullification ; then identify Gov. Troup and his friends, with the supporters of that doctrine, fraud the whole as (iisuniomsts and traitors, and thus produce a re-nclion in public opinion, and thereby place their own party on tho vantage ground, gnin the ascendancy in the next Legislature, and enablo their political leaders once more to ride into high and responsible offices. Thus was this wicked design of reviving the angry and scarce allayed feelings of partisan warfare, to be put into execution by covering it up un der the plausible pretext of declaring the sen timents of the people of Georgia on subjects on which it is already well known that there is no difference of opinion among the people; and thus too was this covert and insidious ns-unlt upon the feelings und friends of Gov. Troup, to hn carried through the eounrils of the coun try, hy being coupled and connected with the expression of sentiments vvhirh they havo of ten expressed and maintained belbrc. and to which they could huve no kind of objections at this time. But the nauseous and abominu- ble drugs which they were endeavoring to ad minister to the Legislature, f -r the purpose of procuring an operation upon the people, could not he swallowed hy the patient, even after be ing sweetened with nil the honey nnd sugar, and seasoned with tho rarest and richest spices that could he obtained under a modification” and “ better udoption” of the “ bunrjul” tariff. Tho whole plan had been deeply laid, the Union was to be lauded in unmeasured strains, a blow was to bo dealt upon tho Tariff, a home thrust was to he made at the American system, while South Carolina, a member of that Union, for her opposition to the same measures, was to be stabbed under the fifth rib ; her brightest characters were to be abu sed, her professions of republicanism were to be tarnished, the glory she had won during the gloom of the revolution, lighting side hy Kido with Georgia for the liberties of man, was to be sunk by the pow ers of their indigna tion into the “ valley und shadow of death.” And all for what 1 Was it that the constitution was about to bo utiderminded 1 was it that tho Union was ip danger of a dissolution* wns even the peace of the country or the safe-1 trino that Congress hns the constitutionnl pow. t.v of imlividu ils about to he jeopardized or or to sell a state. Gov. Troup, much as ho violated, that tlte-e extraordinary resolutions I has been abused hy certain political aspirants, were to be introduced, nnd these extraordina-1 ns an enemy to the Union, nnd ns a friend to ry speeches made to the great delay of the nullification, thinks and speaks better thinog public business, nnd the greet deterioration of the constitution than these. In his letter To of tho public funds? It could he for none of, the Carolina dinner Committee, which seems’ these things ; for those dangers wero never j to he the mark at which si. mnnv envenomed seriously apprehended except hv men of too arrows have been aimed, and against wh ch contracted intellects to comprehend tho “signs J Ihe liilminationK of legislative enactment were of ihe times,” nr by minds affected with the i to he hurled ; he snys that tho “ Constitution inspiration of Quixotism. lVas it then that j administered necording to its spirit and letter Smith Carolina was incompetent to the man-jean dispense nnthins but justice.” lYhsf a agement of her own affairs, or incapable of noble sentiment is this; what ardent devotion preserving the liberty she had purchased so dearly, thnl she must he arraigned nnd < en- still'd at Ihe liar of ihe Georgia Legislature ; and the political tenets of her people revised and corrected hv Georgia politicians? Was it the necessity of embarking in n crusade against the South (’arolitia politicians, by the Legislature of Georgia, that these resolutions were marshalled in such imposing array ? It could not lie even for this! The spirit which so unkindly “ thanked not Carolina” for the expression of her friendly feelings tow ards us in tho hour of our need, would surely consider it unbecoming in Georgia to intermeddle with Carolina affairs, or run a lilt against Carolina opinions ! But the whole object, the sole aim, wns to wound Gov. Troup, nnd through his ides the majority of the good citizens of lam ; to strike at ihe eminence on which ho lands, nnd prostrate hy a political manoeuvre the man who first overthrew them in the field 'efore the people, and then triumphed over them in tho cabinet bv the wisdom of his nd ministration. It wns in support of resolutions like these that the notable speech of the mem r from Bibb was made ; and truly the text is well worthy of such a sermon ; not indeed ei anse they are altogether consistent with ich other, hut because tho intrinsic merit of both tiro about equal, whether we consider he cuds to he attained or the abilities displayed The preamble to tho resolutions declares, among other things,that the resolutions them selves, arc to express the “ prevailing feelings of the citizens of Georgia,” on the Tariff of 1828. In the second resolution it is declared that “ Congress tnny legitimately raise n rev enue for the sin,purl of the Government,” hut tbnt Ihe Tariff of’28 was “ unjust in its ro! ception, partial in its operations, unequal in the burthens it imposes, that its baneful inf! etu'e is still pressing upon the vital interests of the South tail flint the people of Geor gia have had to exercise all their patriotism to yield obedience to it, and that they now “ urge its modification nnd belter ulnptnlion to the interests of the whole.” The speech in ques tion, responding to this resolution, boldly de ■ lares the Tariff of’28 to ho eonstitutional, and calls it only an “ unfair nnd inexpedient exercise of power hv Congress.” Is it possi ble that the member from Bibb, and his road- jutors can believe that the people of Georgia look upon that Tariff as constitutional, and that thoy only desire its “ modification ?” Indeed can they believe that any modification of the Tariff of 1828, con adapt it to thu inter est of the people of this state, or that any thing short of its total and unrnnstitutinmil repeal will satisfy them ? To hurl the anathemas of legislative vengeance agninsl n law, and de nounce it as being manifestly unjust in its conception, and marked with the horrid fea tures pnurlrayed tn tho resolutions, and then unly urge its modification, is the maximum of ineonsisteney itself. How inconsistent ton must tho member from Kihli appear urging the passage of these resolutions, so hitter in the names which thoy give to tho Tariff; in a speech in which among the very many fine things he said in favour uf that law, ho could snv no greater hurm of it, than that it was nn “ unfair exercise” of eonstitutionnl power. Let the member and bis compears, be assured that this sudden transition front boiling lint to lake-warm, does nut all indicate the tempera ture of tho feelings of tho people of Georgia, on a question in which their sovereignly is ni slake, and it: which the dearest, interests of life tiro jeopardized. The people do not look up on it with the cold indifference and apathy tli.il he docs ; they uro not yet so lost tn the mnnly feelings of freemen, ns not to feel sensitive to injustice nnd oppression, whether it comes from a British parliament under the hateful name of a stamp act, or from nn American Congress tinder the more imposing hut not less odious title of n hill in ” alteration of cer tain duties, &e.” Tho conduct of the mem ber from Bibb, in fathering and supporting these Tariff-abusing resolutions, taken tn con nection with his declaration of its constitu tionality. developes opinions more inimical to Ihe constitution itself, limn I can conceive the principles of the nolhfiers tn he. Hero we intve unfolded to our view the haggard and insidious doctrine, that the cons'ilulion sanc tions the enactment and enforcement of laws, which are not oolv “ unfair noil inexpedient.” but which lire unjust in their very “conception, partial, unequal and oppressive.” The Tariff ites themselves, entertain a belter opinion ol the constitution than (hist Thoy think the law just, wholesome and constitutional; the member from Bihl* believes it to he unjust nnd unfair, and yet constitutional; while we who are the thorough enemies of that system, like wise hold it to he unjust; hut are unwilling tn say that the venerated constitution of our conn to the constitution is here exhibited in this opinion of ils purity nnd excellence. Since the formation of that instrument, which has been the adoration of so many hearts, and the praise of so many tongues, perhaps a more eloquent and expressive nulngiuin lias never been passed upon its merits ns a composition, and its republican purity ns tho basis of a go vernment. At what nn infinite distance from this justice nnd purity docs (ho member from' Bibb place the constitution ! After eulogising it as tho work of men nnd sagos, who “ Imd lived through the storm of a revolution, whoso patriotism Imd lieen tried,” ho tells us that under its sanction, Congress has the power to enact laws, which are unjust and pnrtial in their operations, which impose burthens une qual, and which are baneful in their presstiro upon tho vital interests of one half the people. Under ihe operation of such ohilling blasts n9 this, how soon must that lovo for tho con-ill. itinn grow cold, which the member Imd fan- ned into a genial flame. After the dev elope ment of doctrines like these, which go to prove that the foundation of our government is laid in corruption nnd tyranny, how senseless must ho the praise which he heaped upoii that go. vernmenl. nnd all his flattery of it how sicken ing nnd fulsome. The Parliament of England which has no limitation of powers, arid n» do- finito boundaries to its action, save its own' good will, cannot exercise a greater tyranny than that of enacting unjust nnd oppressive laws; it mav revolutionise (be government, it may decapitate the King, if may impoverish the country hy the imposition of enormous taxcR, hut it enn do nothing tnoro than pass laws which have their conception in injustice, und which arc baneful and oppressive to the interests of the people. It may indeed do this, tint Congress, says the member’s spe-rh, mav legitimately do the same, arid do it too' under the sanction of a written constitution. 'Ve had belter have n f’ongress clothed wth the powers of u naked despotism at onro, that’ we might see its deformity, than one with tho power to enact oppressive laws, mid impose unequal nnd unnecessary burthens, under tho rover nnd sanction of a written constitution' framed fur the very purpose of defining its' powers, and protecting the rights and liberties of the people from Ihe (Vp'eration of unjust and oppressive laws. If the mebihrr from llilib, really entertains that high vrnoMtioh a.td re gard for the constitution which he professes, he must certainly acquiesce in the sentiment uf Gov.'Troup, that if “ administered accord ing to t.s spirit nnd loiter, it run dispense no- thing but justice.” Every lover of freedom nnd equal rights, every republican in A meric* who reveres the institutions of his country, must respond, heart and soul, In that thrilling sentiment. To be unjust, is tho very nppo. site of justice; if then tho tariff of '28, i's in the language uf tho resolutions, “ manifestly unjust in its conception,” it cannot he in nrrnr- danro with that justice,- and must lie uncon stitutional. A constitution wlti''h can dispense nothing but justice to tho people, cannot sanc tion a powor in a body inferior to it. to oppress them by the enactment of laws which uro un just. The difference between Gov. Troup and the member, in their opinions of the con. siiltilion, is precisely the difference there is between day nod ui.ht; their political princi ples are antipodes to each other. Troup thinks that the (••institution itself, contains nt> grants of power which arc unjust, imposes no burthens which arc unequal, nnd sanctions in both ils j-pirit and letter, nothing hut purity and justice; hut that Congress, pretending to act iirulcr that constitution, passes it' law under *' tortious construction of it, which is unjust and' oppressive, and violative of that instrument it self ; while the member thinks that tho con stitution sanctions laws, grants' powers, at d imposes borthens "tijust uod' unequal, and that Congress lots legitimately though “ un fairly” exercised tbnt power. Troup points to (lie constitution as the source of purity nnd justice, and to Congress ns the tyrant; tho member points to the constitution ns thn nn- thnr of the injustice, nnd to Congress as the nflietor of constitutional tyranny. Thev both agree that injustice has been done ; one thinks the foundation head is pure, hut thnl the stream which flows from it has become cor rupt nnd muddy, by the interruption of offi cious political dabsters ; while the other thinks that the fault is in the fountain, nnd that in justice flows to Ihe people in Bio regnlurchan- tiels in which it commences. Thus far in commenting upon the speech of Ihe member from Bibb county, I havo adopt ed mostly the language of the resolutions, as outsitting the principles which it wns (be in tention of the member tn support by his speech ; for he tells us that lie is anxious to hove the resolutions passed. It wns indeed • very small ineonsisteney in supporting re-olu- try is the source from which that Injustice j lions which denounced the Tariff as the most springs.
