Exiracl from the Macon Telegraph.
With the explanation given of the Virgtnir
pmc. ediog* by Mr Madison, if the Nulhfiers
can find any support in them they are wel
come to it.
Let us now see how far the sentiments of
this venerable patriarch of his country coin
cide with those lately advanced by ex Govern
or Troup. in his celebrated letter to the Sonih
Carolina Committee—which was for the sake
ol contract we have republished.
Gov. Troup says “yon can throw off the
go n rnment of the Union,” &c.
Mr. Madison says, “It (the Constitution of
the United States,) cannot be altered or annull
ed at the will of the States indiviually ”
Gov. Troop says. “There cannot be a
greater fallacy chan that the Union is to be
preserved by a power in the General Govern
ment to roerce the States The existence of
sovereignty excludes the idea of force.”
Mr Madison says, “A political system that
d« i s not provide for a peaceable and author-
ative termination of occuring controversies,
would not be more than a shadow of a Go
vernment: the object and end of a real Go
vernment being, the substitution of law and
order, tor uncertainty, confusion,and violence.”
‘•Nor is the Government of the United
Slates created by the Constitution, Jess a Go
vernment in the strict sense of the term, with
in the sphere of the powers, than the Govern
ment created bv the constitutions of the States
are, within their several spheres. It is, like
them, organized into Legislative, Executive,
and Judiciary Departments. It operates,
like them, directly on persons and things, And,
like them, it has at command a physical force
lor executing the powers committed to it.”
“ The conslitution. has expressly declared
on the one hand. 1, “that the constitution, and
the laws made in pursuance thereof, and all
treaties made under the authority of the Uni
ted States, shall he the supreme law of the
land: 2, that the Judges of every state shall be
hound thereby, any thing in the constitution and
laws of any state to the contrary notwithstand
ing ’*
Troup says, “Of what value is that Union,
which is formed of unwilling and reluctant
members, who but for the sword suspended o-
ver their heads would fly off from the common
centre, as from a tierce and CGnsumsog fire,
which hums only to destroy.”
Madison says,
“Experience seems to have shown, that
whatever may grow out of future stages of our
national career, there is, as vet, a sufficient con
trol in the popular will, over the Executive,
«»nd Legislative Departments of the Govern
ment.”
Troup says, “Regarding thellnion as a fam
ily compact, the members of which can only
be kept together by the practice of strict and
impartial justice, it is better that the non-con-
ents aud malecdntents should he suffered to
depart in peace by common consent, than by
common concert, to constrain a reluctant obe
dience, which if yielded to-day, may forcibly
be withdrawn to-morrow "
Madison says, “The reply fo all such sug
gestions seems to be unavoidable and irresisti
ble, that the constitution is a compact, that
•ts text is to be expounded according to the
provision for expounding it—making a part
of the compact, and that none of the parties
can rightfully renounce the expounding pro
vision more than any other part.”
Troup says, “If contrary to expectation the
existing system shall become the fixed and
jellied policy of the country, the Southern
States must withdraw from the confederacy,
cost what i» ra-ay ”
Mr. Madison s «V9. “Should the provi-ions of
the Constitution as here reviewed, be found
not to secure the government and rights of
the States, against usurpations anil abuse on
the part of the United States, the final resort
within the purview of the Constitution, lb's in
an amendment to the Constitu'ion, according
to a process applicable by the States.”

Our republican throne has been recognized

other powers. You will readily suppose that
I did not say that this rras thebest of Republics.
I do not think so: and the Constitution of the
United States appears to me far preferable.—
But I believe we have done for the best in the

we have arrived. I do not mention to you

ill intention, and reasoning has been sufficient
to persuade them. Alter all, mojt of ihese
slight disorders, of which our adversaries have
made so much, have been instigated by dis

Tuesday, Nov. 9, 1830.
The Committee lo whom the Communication
of the President of the University has been
referred, beg leave to
REPORT;
That upon a careiul examination of that Do
cument, but two leading subjects will be found
worthy, at this time, of the attention of the
Sttiiat us Academici]!-:
1st. The establishment of two additional
Professorships, to wit:—One of Modern Lan
guages, and the other of Natural History.
2d. The destruction, by fire, of one of the
College Edifices, together with the Library
and Mathematical Instruments of the College
Upon these subjects there can be but one opi
nion By every consideration ot the blessings
uf kuowledg , to every community—by all its
advantages in suppjrt ot our civil aud religious
privileges— by the respect due to the charac
ter of the State both at home ami abroad, and
the implied pledge lo our sister S'ales, that
we will promote every thing that wiil strength
en our Union, increase our afflictions lor each
other, arid add to our reputation in foreign
countries, so much oppos d to our growth in
useful literature and refinement, the College
of Georgia ought to be liberally supported with
one heart and with one mind. But the Com
mil tee regret to say, that Ihe University of
Georgia from causes whether true or false, is
not now material, has not enjoyed Ihe full and
entire confidence of the gofld people of Geor
gia. It is not at present necessary to investi
gate that subject; such is the fact, and it cer
tainly becomes the imperious duty of the Guar
dians of the Literary concerns of Ihe Slate;, to
lose not a moment of time in removing all oh
stacles that oppose a renewal of the aff cl ions
of the whole people for (bis hitherto favored
Institutibn. This they believe can be done,
by stiff-ring the whole community to be rep
resented in I bis'Institution. Division ofopm
ion in political affairs ever has existed, and
doubtless will continue. Perhaps it is right, as
it produces a vigilance highly favorable to the
preservation of Iree institutions and the best
interests of the people This division howev
er, should not he carried into literary iostitu
lions—Upon that important subject there
should exist the utmost cordiality of feeling
and oneness of mind. Every impediment
standing in the way of universal confidence,
should be mtide to yield to an open, liberal
policy, on the part of the administrators of
these vital interests Without inlending any
reflection whatever upon thoss who have
managed the affairs of the University, whose
labors have doubtless been arduous and deli
cate; whose decisions have been conscientious
and well intended, yet we may siy. its manage
ment lias been altogether in the hands of one
political party, and this ot itself is calculated
to iuspire the belief, that the great preserving
principles just laid down, of united concert in
the support of science, may not be duly re
garded, and consequently defeat the great
ends promised Htid expected from that interest
ing source Of public strength and private hap
piness. If then this difficult^ can be removed,
the Committee h^ve no doubt, (for they found
their belief upon the intelligence and liberality
>f the people of Georgia, repeatedly manifest-
, d toward this same institution, as well as ail
<t hers having for their object the interest of
he {State and the elevation of its character,)
oat an endowment*every way suited to the
-xigenciesof the University, maybe obtained
from the Legislature of Georgia, When,
then, this shall he accomplished, they earnest- i
Iy recommend that an application be made to
the present General Assembly, to make such
Appropriation as will afford the relief ao-m«eh'
needed, and so affectingly required by the Pre
sident’s communication. Aud the committee
are gratified in saying, this relief may be ex
tended. in a great degree, without any consi
derable draft upon the funds of the State.—
Some facts and informatioo submitted to the
Senatus Academicus, will explain this sugges
tion. The College was originally endowed
with lands. From the great quantity of lands
unappropiiated in the State, the support of the
Institution, by rents, was found to he not only
very precarious, but insufficient—Consequent
ly, the Trustees askef the Legislature to
permit them to sell the»r landed property, and
to suffer them to vest the proceeds in profi.a
hie Bank Stock. This was granted by an ac*
| passed December, 1815, to which we would
beg leave to refer. By this act, the Trustee*
were directed to sell their lands on a long
credit, and to deposit the Bonds for which
they might sell, in the State Treasury, as a
pledge for two-thirds of their amount in the
Stock of the Stdie Bank owned by the State,
which was then about to go into operation.—
The lands were sold, and Bonds to the amount
of nearly one hundred and forty thousand dol
lars, were lodged in the Treasury of the State,
and for which the State granted to the Umver
sity $100,000 in Bank Stock. This left $40,-
000 over and above the amount of Slock: aud
the Committee are iuformed that the Suite
has fully payed her hundred thousand dollars,
both principal and interest, and that this resi
due has been transferred to the Central Bank
as State funds. The Committee believe, that
every candid mind will readily perceive, that
the University is entitled to this forty thou
sand dollars, or so much at least of it as has
been collected. That it is a part of foe origin
al endowment, because it is the proceeds of
the College lands. The Committee recom
mend, that an application be made to the Le.
gislature, not* to suffer the Trustees to with
draw this amount, hut to let it remain in said
Bank, and permit the Trustees to have the use
of its semi-annual interest for the ben> fit of
ihe College—and they would most respectful
Iv ask of the Legislature, so lo increase that
!und in the Ceutral Bank, as to make the an
nual interest thence arising, amount to eight
ihousaud dollars, This sum, with its pr sent
endowment, would he sufficient to mett all
the wants of the Institution, and place it upon
a footing with any Institution in the United
Slates The Committee are the more embold*
ro d to this measure, from the belief that the
Slate has resources which will amply justify it,
and that they represent a people who, from
their intelligence, liberality, and patriotism,
are unwilling to be behind any Community in
the praiseworthy and honorable support oI
Learning aiid Virtue.

SENATE.
Friday, Nov. 5.
MAJOR WOODS RESOLUTIONS.
On motion of Mr. Wood, The Senate took
up the Preamble and Resolutions id relation
to the Tariff itti. by sections. The preamble
of the same being read, as follows: “Whereas
the period has arrived when an open and frank
expression of tho sentiments of the people
may correct erroneous impressions abroad,
and remove the delusions of either corrupt or
visionary men at home as to the strong and
predominant feelings of the Citizens of Geor
gia; and whereas recent events in an adjoining
State and the expression of opinions in our
own, go far to threaten the peace and happi
ness of our btlovtd country, which intention
is too distinctly marked to be mistaken, in such
ao emergency every good citizen is hound to
rally around our national government, which
has heretofore shed such a iu?tre ov. r our po
litical, moral, and civil associations, as to at
tract (he admiration of the world. At such a
momentous period, then, the people of Geor
gia do not hesitate to avow through the pres
ont Legislature a firm adherence to the prin
ciples expressed in the following resolutions *’
Mr. Branham moved to stf ike out the same—

Ross, Singleton, Spaun, Stewart, Swain, Tem
ples, Tennille, Wells, White, Wilcox, Wood,
Wooten, Young—36 So Mr. Branham's mo
tion to strike out the Preamble was lost.
The Senators from the following counties
moved the following amendments—viz. to ex
cept their respective counties from the impli
cations contained in the Preamble to the Reso
lutions; viz:—Hancock, Green, Coweta, Tatt
nall, Harris, Muscogee, Morgan, Montgomery,

The question then was on agreeing to the
preamble. And ou agreeing to thesam . the

39—And Nays 32.
Those voting in the affirmative, are

So the preamble was agreed to.
The first section of the resolutions was then
read, as follows: “Be ^therefore resolved, by
the Semite ami House of Representatives of
the State of Georgia in General Assembly met,
and it is solemnly resolved by tne same, That
as the present Fe.deral Constitution is the ac
knowledged bond of Union between tlnse
States, with a view therefore to muko it for
ever permanent and to avoid all causes of dis-
-ention and complaint, it is essential that the
National Goverunvnt in the exercise of i?a
functions, should strictly adhere to a literal
construction of that instrument, and carefully
avoid the assumption of any power not clearly
given” Mr. Janes moved to stnjk * out the
word “AationaZ,” and insert “Federal,” on
which motion the years and rays were required
to be recorded, and are yeas 32. aud nays 36—
Those voting in the affirmative, are
Messrs. Allen Branham. Bryan, of Mont

Ross, Sheffield. Spann. Stewart, Swain, Tem
ples, Tennille, Wells, White, Wilcox, Wood,
Wooten, Young.
So the Senate refused to strike out, and the
section was agreed to.
The second section was then read as fol
lows:
“Be it Resolved, That though Congress may
legitimately raise a revenue for the support ot
Government, yet in doing so a ju-u aud pru
dent discretion ought to be exercised, con
stantly keeping in view, a fair and ju f equali
zation of the burthens imposed among the se
veral States. We find however that (In-, prin
ciple has been disregarded in the Tariff of
1828; this law, unjust in its conception has
also been partial in its operation, and its bane
ful pressure is still continued on the vital inte
rests of the South. Hitherto the people of
this State with their accustomed patriotism
have yielded obedience to it, but the lime has
at last arrived when in the spirit of equity and
moderation, their interests should he regard
ed and their wishes respected; they therefore
now in the most emphatic terms demand its
modification and b Her adaptation to the inte
