PUBLIC MEK i ING.
Piiisunnt to previous notice, u portion of the
Stato Rights pnityof Cltutlmm county, and ollii-rs,
opposed to the election of William Henry Harrison,
convened nt tin- Kxrhungu Long Boom, in the city
of Suv-tmiblt, on Saturday evening, th • 30th iust
and organixed by enlling Levi §, D* Lyon, Esq. to
tho Cltnir, und appointing William Putti-rsou, Esq.
Secretary.
Tito object of th- meeting having Itrea explained
ia a shm t address Ity tlm chiiiriniin,itwnsubN|(ieiit-
ly responded toby Cnpt. Robert W. Poo’er.
A motion was limit mado by Major George Lo
gan nml seconded, that tlm Cltuir appoint a Com
mittee ta consist of tlin-o, to draft u suitable Pie.
amide and Resolutions, expressive of tho ubjccia
and views oftlio meeting, which was curried—
whereupon tho following g-ntlcmen were appoint
ed tlmt Cummi tee:
Major George Logan, B-’njsmin Lloyd,
George IV. Point.
The Committee hiving retired for s short time,
returned and presented the following Preamble and
resolutions, which were tend und unanimously a-
dopted:
It is alwnys a matter of painful regret, when dis
sension ami division nri*o among those, who liuve
been long associated upon principles, which they
have mutually and warmly charislmd.
Influenced by tlieso leeliugs, and the pritmip|i>«
ti|>on which tlio State Rights party of CInttImm
county wus.fotmed, ii portion of it deems it proper
to assemble, for the purpose of " defining its posi
tion” at tlio pri-sant interesting und important cri
sis, und lo designate nnd ex|*ln«ti thu (grounds upon
which they so essentiully differ from the other pot-
tiun of tlmir former friends und associates.
Believing tlmt tlm State Bights party nf Georgia
was committed nut to support Goner-I Harrison for
tlm Presidency, we hud hom-stiy indulged the hope,
tlmt division und strife would nurur Imvo entered
its ranks, nnd w-o have been the Just to abandun-p
position which was assumed by lira party under tlm
Resolution of iu Representatives on tin* I9tb De
cember lost.
Tlm State RigitU party had been warned from
time to time, that the period hud not arrived, wlw-n
it become necessary to di*-olve a connection which
bud been cvumi.ted us we believed,by the very strong
rst ties.
It was distinctly warned, that the nnminatinn of
G- ni-rsl Harrison would dissolve tint connection.
That it would (ra-l tlm party, to the cm 5i ares oft Lo
Notiht-rn whig abolitionists, tba Bank mm, and
tl e supporter# of other principles alike adverse
to Sluli- Rights priur ii'b s It was well on ler.tood
thu a laige ami rvs|n-ctul)le porliou of tlieSuto
;tights party ihioughout tl»e suite, wooM bevet
con* tint to -up|*oit Gen. Hat risen, since they b-ui
estly believed, lli-it by doing *«, it w*o!d violate the
rnk ■ «f their pally and which thev »*ifl «w bold

VYJth a fuJI ami perfect kuowle-lgeof ibeS- fsru
and cwiiM-«pH-nc.-s, meeting* of tlm State Rights
paily. *\*re call* J and beid in lh« different counties
of the stele# to svMl'dalegeUs to « UAvcatiuti to U
held on tho lit Monday in Jtitu*, purstmnl to a te-
S'-luiitin of thu lUth Docrmber last.
It w a* a matter of great surprise tlmt many nf tliese
culls were nddivs-t-il exclusively D* tin* friends of Gen
Harris-ill. Tim object of tlm resolutions were per-
verbal snd clmngi-d It was originally designed that
delegates should bo sent to a State Rights, ami not
Hurrisnti Convention; hut the convention which
a*sembled, was emphatically a Harrison convention,
hehl by a portion of the S-ale Rights party.
It is humilinihtg to reflect that the resolutions,
tinder which thu convention assembled, sliwuld have
been treated with contempt and totally distegutded.
The result tuts Imnii tlm total deurticiinn ofu par
ty, whoso pure and coricct principles ought to have
insured for it un nliunst *-nd,ess cxistencu. But "the
deed hus been done"—" the die has been cast,"
anti ilia responsibility must rest upon tlio slmuldttis
of those, wbn prefer the principles nfGcn. llmri-
to ilitiso for wlticii our purty lias been buttling
for more than sovun years.
Is it recnnrilliiblo with cnnsislcncy.nml thosn
principles upon which tlm Statu Bights patty wa-
founded, tlmt a eniivi-uUuii nftliat putty sltiiultl ho
minute as their cun-liduto fur the presidency Wm-
Henry Uunistm, the nun whose very language in
1853. was f-nfiirh-nt to fix in tho bosom of evory
Sun* Bights ntun, tlm most uncompromising hostili
ty tnwanis him. This it his Inngunge:
have thus fellow citizens endeavored lo nt-
plain to yuu the principles upon which the gov.-rn-
muni of our Union is formed. I recommend to yuu
huworor, the proclamation of tho President of the
United Stales, is*uod on the I (Jilt of December last,
and tlio spm'hes of Mr Wubstnr, delivered in the
Senate nf the United States at tlm last session of
Congress, in answer lit llto arguments of Mr. Cut-
hoan, n* containing tho most eloquent und satisf.c-
lory exposition of these principles which Imvo re
cent ly been published. By issuing that pna-lama-
tion, I think Gen. Jackson has rendered aserviue lo
Itis country, of greater mugnitude, than tho splendid
victory At Naw Urb ans.”
Cuu we bo ri-iptired or called upnn in tills way to
nbuiaiuti our long cht-riHicd principles, to become
the ally of a mutt, thus dt-siilutu of th-* principles
which belong touiir parly—of the limn whtMuouutd
it ncnlumny to lie ebnrgod with being friendly to
slavery—of tlm irnn who is supported hy Nutthern
Whigs, Abolitionists, Cousulidutienists and UHttk
men; or ran wo so soon bo mado to forget tliu prin
ciple* avowed by tlm State Rights party or Gcurgin
nt their meeting in Milledgevilio, in November,
1833.
This was soon nfter Genuntl Huirison’s adoption
of the principles of the proclamation, nml upon this
subject the meeting tints expressed itself: " Tlti-
meeting doth solemnly protest ugainsl these (ihiuii-
Ittg tho principles of tlm proclamation) and as sol
emnly deny theirlegitiinute deduction from the com
pact which esiub isln-d the federal guvcrnnirnt, und
tit,it tlio Association now formed will resist them in
every prn|Mr manner.”
Hero tin'll is a sacred plmlgo hy tho State High ■
party " lo resist iu every pnqmr manner” the pr-n-
ciples avowed by Gen. llairisoii. and but a few short
years liavo passed away, when this open antagonist
of State Uigli's principles und tho advocate of Dun
Webster's political doctrines, is pn-senu-ri to us as
tfwchuliTi of that vciy purty, who had sworn " re-
sistMttco iu every pr-qn-r imumct ”
As State Rights men—us Southern men—as Re
pitblicNit*, we i-nlftimly pretest iiguin-t lit- noiuitm-
linn of Willinm Henry llarrisou—und in diflitriiig
ft urn our former a*rncint« ■ umi fellow iimnila-rs o|
tlm purty, we take leuvu to assure them, that we
liuve not ahamliiuetl n solituty principle up-m wliii-li
it wasestahlished, mid that whenever it slmli bo*
come necessary to re-nssoil onr principles vve sbul,
always be found occupying tlm pusitiuu of S ute
Rights men.
Wo calm-1 but view the coming contest lint as a
s'l'tiggle la-twon Reptililican principles and tlntsu
mlvocutud Ity Fedotuiists, Cotisolidutionists. Ihmk
men, Anti-Masons, and Tariff men, not oxcepting
Abolitionists.
Umlur this sincere conviction it becomes us then
to pause und to enquire, since our form-riusociutes
ituvo forced upon u> our m.-w p irition, hy doing tho
first act liiwunls uur dissulut not, vv-liat cour»o vve
shttll pursue iu tlm coining contest. Wo cannot
now romuiti neutral. Upon n fair rumparison ut
tlm principles of (lie twocaialid-iles, it scents prepi-i
that vve siu-uld select tlm eno whom political tenets
approximate tin* nearest to nut own.
Wu therefore pr< fer Martin Van Daren to Gon.
Ilarrison.liccuuse lm is un o|n-ii advoenlu •■rSootliern
pi i.iciples,th*-opponent of a Un ted Stntes Bunk; tin-
Northern Whigs; and tlm imcompromisii'g em-my
of Federalism. Wec.m never concur in thn suppur-
oftlm mm who,if successful, places in powur “ the
i-nemk-s nf the Constitutioo—the enemies of Um
South.”
Wo view Martin Van Boren ns n candidute oj*»
posed to Fndend principles in nil their disguises,
and ill a contest with General lliirrisun, " wc are
comjmlb-d to suppott liim or yield our principles a*
u sHcriflcu to mure opposition.”
We liavo fuiliter to n-giet that our compluints
against our formur associates cannot stop here.
Tiie indignant proscription Ity tlm Hurtison Con-
vetttiunuf Messrs. Black, Cooper and Colquitt was
u meusuro we were unprepared tocxpoct. Decided*
ly among thu most able and distinguished portion
of out delegation, they bare received at the lunds
oftlm Convention thu most unmerited and cruel
proscription. *' Tlm head and front of their nfi'.-nd-
in^" have been a strict Hulmn-uce to Stale Rights
principles, and uncompromising " iip|»o#itinu to the
enemies oftlm Constitution and the enemies of tbe
South.”
This act alone was calcu'ntcd to effect the total
dissolution oft he ^Uite Rights 1'ur-y. and ns it cm.

of it< aulli.os, iu lh*t n-card we must be allowed to

Be it therefore Resulted, That we have seen

Resulted, That this pertiun of the State Rights

Rt solved, That tlm pledge of tiie President of

To the Editor of the Soithu n Recorder and

i GomIIbiik'h—Hope,ttd <u« S o.t!mi< from lidi,
giving couutoimnco toceitairi news-paper repn-sen-
tuiimis. liuve ut length imlucul me to think that
thorc really uro sotno who by n superficial rending
nf nty Glreulur, have misconceivi-d me on two
points.
Uao is in regard to Abolition Agencies Imputed
to tlm Clergy. My report to those I re,.resented
was, that the Clergy were their oIBciont ugtails
Now, I cmild never huvu supposed for a moment tlmt
any person, much less our intolilgeut Cl.-rgymua,
conl.i liavo construed lids to impdit n ehsrgo of
ubnlitiuu uguinst th- Clotgyln it section wlu-to there
um un Abalilioii Agents known. I wus spunking nf
tlmt subject us it exists und iu tim country wlmreit
is, nml of i he Clergy where it is found lo Imvo Agents
—und no where else—I did nut even intend to charge
that every Clergyman in uny suction wus un abo
litionist.
An-ther point on which I am miscono rived is
this, I referred to the jioairi m that we would be In
J»y nd vin-nting Jhirnson, nml u*knd sat latte siren-
lion to the opinion I entertained, lliut in sod-ing
i should bo rocuiiing from nurnwit pro,mrgrounds
hy cffcotiiully siding iho niluptlunol measures we
' I ways opposed—tlm Bank, for instance—whilst
our old opponents, by consequence, would, by ad-
ncvning on our lulu position as the peculiar nnd
prominent opponents ofu United Slums Bank, Ta,
tiff', UtM, with jtisiicai claim to occupy the State
Wight ground, I fot.-saw tlmt zunli a course, If
mudo tlm action of the parly, would make ns u bunk
jiarty, and cou-t-qucuiL proscribe ull who could not
go fur Hnrsisssu.
In this connection I adverted to the course of the
party in the nomination of Judge White,und culled
It h p’ain surrender of the party, and a depntture
from princinlu, to gnt inimlier*. This was done
tnotiriy to show that 1 then contended for the
same rule I now do, nnd fur ibe *omu rcs.on, in
d- fuoc* of my integrity, now a«sniled.
In all ibis it is said 1 have Iteen " airngant nnd
ili.’taiurinl.” It tod-fni d one's self, by presenting
truth, when iissaihd; if to give an honest opinion
ttinJnsk othe.z lu decide die point; or if to tell our
friend* uf u mislMke thoy liuve made, liediutnlnriiil,
then 1 ni.i*t tolmi the bleu. Acoordittg to my ob-
servutiniiuud exp-riunce, however, I will say, if I
desired lo dictate, it would not bo ailompteil by a
full und fait ami public expose of in) opinions, and

Th .t my truth tnay n-t bo doubted, or my (native*

The cootmy will then see wiwt 1 imvo been looking
ut fur y. a.s, a tendency in our party to yield up their
