At a meeting of tho Union and State Rights Par*
evening of tho 29tb March, 1839, pursuant to pub*
lio notice, the meeting was called to order by W.VV,
Gordon, Esq., when M. Hall McAllister, Esq , was
called to the chair,and Dr. R. D. Arnold, appoint;
ed Secretary.
Tho Chairman explained the object of the meet*
ing, vix: to propose Candidates for tho Reduction
Convention to meet in May next. Ha enforced tho
necessity of a reduction in the number of the State
Legislature, in a most forcible address.
The following resolutions were then offered by
W. W. Gordon, Esq. whieh he prcfuccd by argu
ments calculated to cause the meeting to adopt
them.
They were seconded by Dr. Posey, and passed
unanimously.
Whereas, the contemplated Convention at Mil-
ledgeville, on the 1st MonJny In May next, lias for
its object a reduction in the number of our Slate
Legislators, u mensme extensively involving vi-
Vt»l interests, and one in which every part of our
State and every portion of her people, without dis-
• Unction of party, Hro deeply interested; and where
as the proceedings of the Convention to receive tho
•unction ofiho people of Georgia, must bo present
ed for their iidopiion, free from the mint or putty
jnamytuvre, or sectional .feeling; and, whereas the
Sanction of the people to those proceedings onn on
ly be expected by the exercise of a spirit of for
bearance in the Convention, which seeking to ob
tain naught for purty ascendancy, shall have lor its
on y object tlm general welfare nf the State—and
wli irons, the Uoiuii umi State Rights party of Chat
ham o lumy, wish to give in udvanca an curliest of
their sincerity and desire that such.Convention
' shall rj«ii above m •re party consideriiiions:
He il resolved, That wo view a reduction in tho
number of our Legislature, as a measure of vast
importance to our State, calculated to introduco au
enlightened, deliberate and patriotic course of le-
gislntimi, which may ho sought for in vain amid this
tumultuous assemblage, tlint, uuder the existing sys
tem, conducts thu destinies of ouf Stale.
Resolved, also That to uviucu our beany desire
to ensure the success of this great measure, and
sacrificing ilm power of pmly which wo possess, m
the shriuo of whot wr deem is demaialeil by ill • pres
ent emergency for the public good, we will, and il-.
In-iuby nominate tint following gentlemen um tain-
llldiites to represent Cliutbum county ut the lie*

Resolved further, That wo hope the course wc
have adopted will commcml itself to tho moderate
and patriotic of bath parlies; and tlmt if such course
be availed of by any to ndvance mere pnrty nseen-
dancy, we still have left us the consciousness of hav
ing doim our duty, and tho feeling that whenever it
becomes requisite to rc-assert our principles, wo
stand prepared and able to do so.
On motion, Resolved, Tlmt the proceedings of this
meeting be published in both the papers of. this city.

As to tho reuses nf the present state of things,
they are well known to all inquirim* individuals in

pa-t, at to flu* oresent, wh it a strange iiueonimer-

UNITY AND CONCERT.
That Savannah nnd Augusta should bo united by
the cord* of sympathy,ns they arc by thoso ofinterest,
we believo no member of cither community, who
entertains a spark of thut patriotic fervor which
should not be stifled by pecuniary speculations, will
. deny. Situated on the noblest river in the State,
their interest* are mutually linked hy that holy pride
of State, which, would to Heaven, wo could see in
fluence all citizens, for we believe, if properly cher
ished, and increasing with the prolonged breath of
. life, as it should, it would place our citizens above
tho machinations of an extraneous influence, and
nurture our resources, as a people, for our primary
benefit. Let a spirit actuate all portion* of our
State to discard all sectional fueling, to rise above
the grovolling dictates of self interest, to throw off
money as the god to be idolized, and not to estimate
the character of their fellow men by tha considera
tion that this man is worth $1,000.000—that poor
fellow worth nothing. Tho latter will do to go to
the Legislature a* ho can afford to be patriotic; to
bear tho sarcasms of ambitious politicians, smarting
under tho last defeat, buj the former can wrap bim-
selfin his own self sufficiency, drink his cabinet
champagne, smoko his regalia, and scorn tho Do-
Savannah it like the jioor fellow who, sent to
the Legislature, urges tho patriotic Georgians to
look upon her condition, contrast it with other por
tion* of the country, with smaller cities in tho state,
mid administer relief. Clinricstoa is the rich nabob
who having secured his plum * from the beneficent
care ofa Carolina Legislature, looks across the ri
ver at a growing rival, and seeing her crushed in
appearance byVmporary vicissitudes,owing to a timo
serving policy on tho part of n Georgia Legislature,
thinks that sho is crushed in spirit. Tho regalia is
puffed. The Cabinet is tossed off, and the mandate
issues to Columbia, that a bridge across tho noblo
Savannah must not be allowed, lest a few Caroli
nians should sell their eggs und poultry in Savannah,
and expend wills our merchants the money received
■ for the same, in guod calicoes and pretty muslins
for tljeir blooming wive* and daughters. No, a cool
hundred thousand of their trashy paper shall be sent
them for which we will demand specie, and only
specie,
Tha bond and nothing but the bond. Will Sa
vannah ever labor under such a system f No, lot
us shake off our lethargy—appeal to the wholo State,
If necessary, for support; dosplse not. but watch
closely the movements of wlioh-sal* purchasers of
Banks, and by prudence throw back upon other* the
game tliey would pluy upon Iter.

AufuiU-
GREAT BRITAIN—CONSERVATIVES.
It is worth while to mark the animosity which
every now and again Ix-lrays itself, os existing in the
minds of the Tories, or Conservatives in England
agninst this republic. It is known, too, that there
are Conservatives (save tho thbrk!) on both sides
nf tho Atlantic—and to follow the pnrallel further,
they are both in opposition-—that party in Great
Britain, being opposed to the present liberal and
ilightcncd Ministry; nnd the party of tho same
name in Americn, being opposed to the Democratic
Administration nf Mr. Van Buiikn.
Sir Kotreivr I’kki., who is the leader nf the op
position in tho House of Commons, made n strong
ipcech at tho opening of Parliament, condemning
the Ministry, becuuse there was not aelause in the
Queen’s speech, censuring the President of the
United States, for his course on the Canadian diffi
culties. That Hon. Baronet seemed to think tlia<
it was very easy to awe us republicans, and that the
Canadian authorities, backed by British bayonets,
could net on the same principle with us, that Gen
eral Jackson carried out so effectually during his
Indian campaign, with the Spanish Government, in
Florida, when lie madouse of the remarkable words,
.diaructeristic of the man, in addressing the tflitliori-
ties of Spuin,—"If you cannot maintain order
among your subjects,awe will," and thereupon in
vaded their territory. Sir Rudeut Peel, however,
reckons without his host; and the Anglo-Saxon
blood that mantles an American check, is not of
quite so weak a nature us that which t uns riot in tho
veins of modern Iberians. And, wc doubt, if he
himself held the reins of power in England, whether
ho would recommend a course that would lend to
the occupation of a rood of ground in tho United
States, by a British Army, No—no. He remem
bers too well, the events of tho hut war. Now Or
leans, and Pittsburgh, nnd Saratoga, und Erie, and
Champlain, are names that yet ring in English oars,
in connexion with tlmt period. Therefore, tho
words of tlto opposition speaker, must be only tnken
as figures of speech—rhetorical flourishes, to find
fault with his government, and to bring odium or
those in power.
What wo are struck with, however, is the simi
larity of views that seem to prevail between the Con-
v’olives of England, and those of America. Our
people cannot have fniled to perceive this. The
very name Conservative was adopted from the
English Tories, by such patriots as Swarlwont, who
eschewed Democracy. Mr. Tallmadob, and other
deserters from the Democratic ranks do battlo un
der that bunner. They shrunk from tho name of
Whigs, because they thought to blindfold tho peo
ple, and conceal their apostaey, by adopting a no
menclature new to American ear*. It was a pity,
however, that they did not go further than they did.
English Tories, certainly should never bo called upon
to give a name to any party, styling themselves re
publicans. Yet so it is. Wo fear, though, that
there is even more community of sentiment between
tho Conservatives of both nations than can be traced
to merely a uamo. They are both opposed to the
spirit of Democracy. They arc both fur curtailing
tho liberties of die people. They ore both for set
ting bound* to tho exercise of the first principle of
Freedom—tlto elective franchise. Thu English
Conservative would- increase tlm qualification of
voters—lie is strenuously opjiused to vote by ballot,
and-would restrict tho press. Tho American Con
servative is in favour of thn enactment of Alien und
Sedition laws—would allow nono hut owuer* of pro
perty to vole—and would curtail tho number of vo
ter*. See tho movements in New Yotk among thn
Whig party, in illustration of these remnrks.
Tho Conservatives, in both ooantrics, ogreo that
it is necessary, by laws, to keep down thu mass.
That the few are justly entitled to rule the many.
The inuguatu* of tho Hartford Convention differ
very Uttle in opinion with the Conservatives of St.
Stephens. Tho same tie hind* them—namely, a
determination to repress ■ and keep in check the
genius of liberty.
But die hills, ami tho mountains, in our freo and
happy country, roverbalo tho glorious sounds of
Freedom. The .Eollnn lyre answer* to its touch,
and wafts its spirit-stirring strain on the breeze of
morning.
Tho Granite State, but yesterday, heard the call
and nobly obeyed tho summon*. Her luirdy yeo
men know full well tlui price of liberty.- Tlieir
breasts form a safo depository for that great and
highly prised jewel. They uru no pnm|H*red mill
ions, who smite and scrape, at dm nod of oorrup-
don and of tyranny; no, the same spirit animate*
them that wurmed tim stalwart frame* of their re
publican sires, in days of yore.
Libel iy then, is safe, from tlm inroods of all dr-
predators, while sho reshles in thn hill*, nr on tlm
plains, with tlm slmplwrd, nr tlm furmert ami tlm
enlightened artisan—tho enterprising merchant—
Um into republican, will secure her a dwelling in
our eldta. Thus, may wo del) Conservatism-*ond
Its hvdra train. Thus may wo dUregaid all assaults
on our citadel whether from the ojicn ami undis
guised enemies of liberty without the walls—or hy
the wiles of domestic traitor* from within.

I From the Courier.]
The impiety und hypocrisy of the ubolitionists is
amazing, hi affecting to prosecute tlieir crusadu in
llie name of religion. God himself instituted per-
petuul slavery umung tho Jews. Abraham, the
.u'iiurolThe tuithful—lie in whose bosom Lozurus
reprised in Paradise, while Dives wu# praying um.d
the flames of Hell for a drop of wuter to cool Ins
tongue, wus o sluvo-h'ilder; Isaac and Jucob were
slave-holders; Job, who wus “perfect uud upright,
and one tliul feared God uud eschewed evil," was a
slave-holder; tho blessed Suviour, whose earthly ca
reer was run in a land of rigorous servitude, while
denouncing sin, und immurta.ity, and justice, never
oucu reproved tlto slave-holder, hut on the contrary
heuted the Centurion's sluve, saying of his muster,
"1 have not luundsogreat luilli, no, nut ill Israel."
Sit Paul never reproved slavery us u sin, but con
verted Uncsitnus, a runaway slave, and sent him
home to his muster, Plihumuii, contrary to tho prac
tice. of our modern religionist#, who buscly entice
slaves to quit tlnf service of tlieir musters, und cull
it religion to do so; this sumo Philemon, ended by
dt. Paul, "our dearly beloved and fellow laborer,"

contrary hade slave# *• bo subject to their muster#
wtth ull fear, not only to the good and gentle, but

dream of tho utter extinction of sluvery, by declar
ing that "every bondman and every freeninn will,
hide himself hi tho den# nnd the rocks of tho mouo-

that slavery is to endure on the earth until the heav
en# shall depart as a scroll when it is rolled togeth

ists impiously aspire to u sanctity superior to tlmt
