shall hereafter inspire you with.—But, you believe
in the. decrees. AYell, if we are to take God’s word
for the decrees—an inspired writer says, the right
eous shall not sutler, nor his seed beg bread. Now,
friend Baptist, as we believe.sincerely, that you are
r. "righteous" man—let us test your faith in your
«;irt of decrees. Don’t gather your present line
crop, that God has sent you—Don’t sow’ any corn,
nrcoUon, or wheat, for next year. Turn your hors
es and hogs into your corn and potatoes—and see,
if this “decree” will save your children from suffer
ing and begging bread next year. Certainly, if
you are willing to trust G<x!*s decree for the ali im
portant matter of Iiis spiritual Kingdom, you will
■not be afraid to trust, him for a little bread! In the
mean time, you must not pray—“give us this day
our daily bread”—this is a means, and according to
your creed, means and decrees have no connection.
AV e have no objection to your believing in the
decrees. But to confide in them, so as to destroy
fill human accountability, seems to us a great sin of
the ultra-Calvanism of the present day. Calvin’s
‘■‘damnable heresies” were nothing, when compar
ed with some of the sentiments of vour decree creed.
Fearing that activity in duty will be construed into
« want of confidence in God—you seem determined
to repel the charge by doing nothing. If you trus
ted in God as you should do, you would go to work.
We know your answer—“It is God that worketh
in us to will and to do of his own good pleasure”—
Y es, and for this wry reason, he orders you to
*■ work out your own salvation with fear ami trem
bling”—"for," that is, because, “it is he that work-
iuJi in you &.<*.” You are to work, because lie not
only commands you, or decrees, as you would say;
but because. He will help you. Can you find any
scripture where God promises you help in dping
nothing? You might be cured of this presumptuous
s:nd lazy system of decrees, by carefully reading the
jfifth chapter of Matthew. To believe in God’s
decrees in such a sense as to feel secure in sitting
clown and neglecting all the means of God’s ap
pointment, is to "wrest," not "rest," as you say—
the scriptures from their meaning. “\Vo to them
that are at casein Zion.”
You ask what we think of Bible Societies, &c.
We reply, that those societies have circulated gra-
fjs, millions of Bibles, and have reduced the price
of Bibles at least 50j)cr cent. Almost every des
titute family in the Lnited States and some part of
Europe, have been supplied in this .way with the

.Messrs. Editors.—The Athenian of the 9th lilt, con
tains what may be considered an official expose of the
matters and things offered by the Troup party, at the
present moment, to the good people of this State. It can
not fail to be satisfactory to the Clark party, that, their
members of the Board of Trustees, have performed their
duties at the commencement, without particular animad
version. The College should he based on the feelings
and interests of the whole people. Every selfish oonsid-
eration, or party difference should be last sight of by the
Board of Trustees, and the whole of their ettorts directed
to making it a place for the promotion of learning and
science. 1 trust that what has been done by the Trus
tees of all parties at this commencement, has been solely
directed to these high objects.
But the Athenian will not be satisfied with the Clark
party, because they stood aloof from the Free Tinde
Meeting held immediately after the duties of the Board
of Trustees were closed. For one, lam rejoiced that
they did not attend this meeting. I rejoice that they who
belonged to tlie Board, performed their dm ie^and return
ed home. I censure no man for the expression of his o-
pinions; far less would I censure a friendly interchange of
opinion, amongst political friends who had been by any
means called together. But of ail the places at which apo
litical meeting could be held a College is by far the worst;
and of all the times at which a political meeting can be
held at a College, the commencement is the most impro
per. This seems to me too plain to be insisted on.
Shall words be thrown away to prove that political con
tests are proper for men anti not for boys ? Can it be
doubted that the example of men thus engaged, is quali
fied to withdraw the mental energies of the youth at
College, from the studies which ought exclusively to en
gage them? Is there any doubt of the fact, that our College
exercises have been constantly disgraced by the ebullition
of party politics? Ur can I for a moment suppose the
father of a single boy at Athens would be pleased to
know, that science and learning bad been aliandoncd by
his son, for the pursuit of party strife. Impossible!!—
Whan political meetings are held at the commencement,
they produce a double injury: as they cannot fail to
withdraw the attention of the Trustees from the impor
tant duties, which at this time require their undivided en
ergies. I then rejoice that, the Clark men at Athens stood
aloof from this Free Trndo Meeting. I rejoice that the
Troup partv have, in claiming all the honor, assumed all
the responsibility of this meeting. For rest assured, the.
people of this State will one day repent the prevalence of
such a practice, if indeed it becomes a practice. Could
any invention so foster a vicious taste amongst the. youth
of our State? I defy the invention of man to propose a
scheme more destructive to tlie hopes of tlie College. It
has already been said, that Athens produces not scholars,
but politicians. Tliis may be untrue; but will it contin
ue so, if every commencement is to wind tip with a po
litical meeting, in w hich the. men most renowned for in
fluence and talent, arc to engage in party strife? I say
such a course will destroy the College; for the. people
cannot Jong remain ignorant, that the College jwlilician,
however conceited or insolent, is a poor creature, even in
politics, comjwircd with the man of science and learning.
It is in vain to urge that this meeting was proclaimed
a« a peace offering to party; that all parties were invi
ted to unite in an attempt to overthrow what all regard
as an odious law. Who ever saw a meeting of such ele
ments terminate without a display of tlie rancor of party

But aside from these reasons, the Clark party did right
in not attending this meeting. The places the}’ hold as
Trustees have been given, because they could no longer
he withheld, but they are apprised that they are sill look
ed on as intruders at Athens. True, they were in effect
invited to attend; but by whom and under what circum
stances and restrictions? The meeting was evidently the
offspring of the Troup party, who in the handbill posted
up in Athens invited all to attend, who desired to send
delegates to attend the General Convention to be. held
in Philadelphia, “lor the purpose of expressing the views
of the South on tlie unconstitutionality of the Tariff of
1828.” To such im i as believed this law not unconsti
tutional, this handhil! is a delicate hint to “stand aloof”
from the meeting. I know not whether it influenced the
conduct of a single Clark man. But it may well have
suggested to the Athenian the idea, that the Clark party
apprehended they might fall in with nullification. Yet
iii this opinion the Clark party would have been deceiv
ed. Be it mjnembered, that at an Anti-Tariff meeting,
suggested by the Georgia Journal, patronized by the A-
thenian, and called together by a handbill directing the
discussion of the uncoustitutionality of the Ml of abomina
tions; not a nnllifier is heard to wag his tongue! Far,
far from it! This is no meeting of Nullifiers, but a re
turn of the second prodigal son! The Clark men were
unfortunately absent, or they would have been overjoy
ed to hear the Troup delegates instructed to pursue the
paths of peace and constitutional redres*, and above all
to stand far away from any tiling qualified to injure our
blessed Union! Alas and has it come to this? Where
was their Troup to cry aloud against the Tiberian des
potism under which we are mangled and torn ? It is a
bussed change! Charity which bclieveih all things crcd-
averted faces, and heard the cry, away wi‘h theNufiifi-
ers. AV hatever motive or whatever f ar may have pro
dured a change so remarkable; I ?ay td you, welcome,
welcome, once more to t»:e banner of the constitution.
May it shelter you and your posterity, till the wretched
creature man no longer needs a government to curb liis
passions.
A\ hile writing this, I am put in possession of yhvtr pa
per of the 17th ult. I have read in it with some surprise
the communication of No Nullifier, and your editorial
remarks on that communication. I confess I take a dif
ferent view ot the subject alluded to. I am glad you did
not fully enter into the plan of sending delegates to repre
sent the Clark party in the approaching Convention at
Philadelphia. 1 could offer many reasons why the Ciark
They have no junto who have authority to Speak for
them in this matter, and the call for county meetings is too
late. The utmost that can be done, is tor a few unau
thorized persons to mke it upon themselves in several
counties to nominate representatives of the party. To
this course and to this assumption, I solemnly dissent.
I profess to be a Clark man, and that alone seems suffi
cient in my mind to settle the question. We wear ho
collars around our necks, and what we do, we do for our
selves. • v
2. The Clark party know nothing aliout this meeupg
but what is seen in the public prints. Mr. Qrawford,
who presided at that held in Athens, was a few. days pre
viously attending the Convent ion of Judges in .Milledge-
villc. llumor declared his determination not to visit
Athens at the commencement. Yet lie had but time to
reach his residence and hasten on to the meeting. The
Clark party are not likely to know what, news he might
have met. on his arrival in Oglethorpe, or whether"lie
changed his purpose by his own reflections.
3. This Anti-Tariff Covention is unnecessary. The
Tariff of 1828 will lie modified, if not repealed forthwith.
No man who knows this nation and observes the rapid
extinguishment of the public debt by the revenue raised
by this Tariff, can suppose the law will remain unaltered
a single session of Congress. It is impossible to believe
this nation will endure the accumulation of millions in the
Treasury when there is no need for it. AVe arc obliged
to look beyond what meets the eye for the moral of the
intended Convention.
4. Every one must be sensible of the source from
whence this measure lias emanated. Every one must
perceive the finger of the magician in it. Can any one
believe that the real purpose of affecting the Tariff will
be prevalent at this meeting ? Is it. not. more reasonable
to suppose, that a far more “weakening question* will be
then and there discussed. I mean, the question how is
General Jackson to be laid on the shelf with the Tariff?
Rest assured, the old hero is very much in their way.
True, they have all the advantages of the patrimonial es
tate, but they fear a change in the will. If he were only
out of the way; they fancy tlie sun of their power would
arise in glory. If it is not thought, discussions of rhis kind
will arise there, why are the Nullificrs of S. Carolina send
ing delegates? Everyone know they regard it as more
than useless. I have no doubt they will be as unwelcome
as unexpected; but it cant lie disputed that they do right in
having their men there. That is, if it is a political meet
ing; not otherwise.
5. There is one thing, and one alone, for which Icould
wish the Clark party represented in the approaching con
vention, and that is, to have their-case truly presented.
Judge Clayton, who seems to have acted as the .tongue
of the Troup party at Athens, has published in his
speech, their views of this subject. I protest, against
those views altogether. He represents the State as be
ing sunk by tlie Tariff law into a frightful abyss of mis
ery. From its horrid oppression he secs, our fields de
serted, our produce rotting, towns waste and in ruins,
and our people in a suffering condition which God knows,
he says is “excitement enough.” He trembles at the
alarming state of public feeling on this momentous sul>
jeet, and is struck with horror at the quivering earthquake
now alxnit to crush our “beloved Union* Yes,he calls
it a beloved Union, though so horribly oppressive to our
people. Surely his must be a wonderful patriotism. He
kisses the rod which smites him; “ Licks the, hand just
raised to shed his blood.” Now in the name of all that
is honest, were not tlie highly respectable audience who
heard this rant, ashamed of themselves? Could they
look each other in the face, while they listened to these
monstrous assertions? Who feels the jar of tliis dreadful
storm of public, excitement? AVho, the grinding oppres
sion spoken of? or who, the suffering condition lie al
ludes to? Hasany man been driven from his field by this
frightful government? Are any of its victims in prison,
or in fear of prison? None! not one! It is nil a dream,
yea, worse than a dream. The State of Georgia even
now, is in a flourishing condition. Our people multiply
ing with great rapidity—our exports almost doubling in
ten years—our fields covered, at the time this howling
oration was delivered, with subsistence for our people for
at least two years; and this subsistence easily obtained
by every industrious individual in the State—yea, hard
ly a slave with a master so dead to every feeling, as to
withhold from him a single want of nature. True, there
arc old fields scored with gullies and covered wi fi broom
sedge; there are towns & villages in a state of decay: hut
where are those who lately made them the scenes of life
and activity? They have left these fields and these vil
lages, in quest of better fields and better villages. Our
new comities have, taken a part of our population from the
old, and this too is attributed to tlie Tariff, lint there
is an evil which presses heavily on our people, and that is
the. low price of cot.to^ No judge of this subject will at
tribute this low price to tlie Tariff. Overproduction is
the cause of this evil. Fifty millions of people do not
consume more cotton than is exported by the U. States,
and this is not more than half tlie quantity of this great
staple wliich is received in Europe. Tliat- any market,
can ho found at any price for this great product, is the
standing wonder of our times. What then is the amount
of evil, brought on us by tlie Tariff of 1829? very consid
erable. We feel it in all our purchases of foreign goods;
and what renders it the more odious, is its great, partial
ity. Circumstances have thrown tlie burthen of this tax
on our shoulders, and taken it from the shoulders of oth
ers more able to hear If. These evils however are trivial
compared to the noise made over them, and by the inevi
table current of events they are rapidly passing away.
They depopulate no town, destroy no field, they reduce
to begary no citizen. Nor will their repeal still the cla
mor: and remember this assertion, for if. will soon he tri
ed. No: the old fields will still produce broom grass, and
polities will still produce demagogues.
I commend this speech to the special notice of my
countrymen. I am deceived in it, if they do not find it a
powerful argument for war, honeyed over with the words
of peace. They will find it most wanting as it regards
matters of fact. His historv of tlie progress of tlie Ta
riff, is in the main correct. His opinions of tlie operating
causes of that measure arc about as correct as they are
with regard to your horrible sufferings and servitude.
But he could not quit, the subject without raising the cur
tain from his war-like designs. He could not have in
tended it; hut so it reads to me.
“We believe the proposed convention will be able to
present a train of facts, and a force of reasoning, which, if
not sufficient to convince the government of its error, will
at. feast bring out its moraMieroism to its last act of folly,
and our misfortunes to their finished point of endurance.”
To this alarming conclusion is this orator of peace inevi
tably drawn. He could have come to no other from liis
false premises.

Mr. LUMPKIN—NULLIFICATION.
Some of the despejate opponents of Mr. Lump
kin, for want of better or more honorable grounds
of opposition, insinuate that heis a nullifier, and
threaten to produce letters of his, to prove it This
they can never do, however, tliey may find it con
venient to threaten it. Mr. Lumpkin is no nuhili-
er,as we know from his free sentiments, now and
heretofore, expressed, to ourselves and others. Rut
be it as it may, we afe authorized by him, to invite
his opponents, one and all, to publish any or every
letter he has ever written on this or any other sub
ject—-and also to say, that he absolves every one
with whom lie has ever corresponded, from pU con
fidence, security, or delicacy, which they may feel
under on his account, in withholding any letters or
other papers of his, and gives them full liberty to
publish, to the utmost extent.
Some of Mr. Lumpkin’s opponents have had the
hardihood to say, that he is a trimming, time, serv
ing politician. How liir such a character com
ports with the unlimited candor, openness, and In
dependence, developed by him in this paragraph,
the people are fully capable of judging—and in do
ing, so, they cannot fail properly to appreciate and

Counterfeit Detector, and Price Current.
T HE first year of this publication having been con*
eluded, the “Reporter” will hereafter be published
weekly as well as semi-monthly. We feel grateful to the
public for the liberal patronage awarded us, (having now
a more extensive circulation than Any other newspaper
in the United States,) and shall leave no measure unit*,
sorted to, in order to render this Journal valuable in ali
respects, not only to merchants, banking institutions,
brokers, and keepers of hotels, but' to the community in
general. We have engaged the literary assistance of se
veral gentlemen well known as writers, and hare corres
pondents in all the principal cities and towns in the Uni
ted tales. We also receive weekly more than five hun
dred newspapers from different parts of the Union, so
that whatever information may be circulated through the
medium of the “Reporter,” and the resourcesfroin whence
it is derived, we can confidently state, may, in all cases,
be relied upon as correct. Bank notes are being counter
feited in every direction; and on the arrival of every ves
sel from Europe, or the creation of every national excite
ment, the state of the market varies. Every person
should, therefore, be possessed of some certain guide by*
which all such information might be received by the ear
liest mails, and at such a rate as not to render its posses
sion an exorbitant tax. Such a Journal is exactly whut
we endeavor to render the “Reporter,” in an effort to ar-
coirtplkh which, neither pains nor expense will at any
titnfcfri Spared on the part of the publisher. Every mini-
be* wiH tontain a carefully corrected Bank Note List,
Lilt Of Broken Banks, Prices Current, Prices of Gold,
Prices of Bank and Insurance Stock, and a description of
all Counterfeit and Altered JrajjN in circulation through
out thfe tyuted States, and.lfisjturh information as is
likely to throw light upon ran Jtftjects embraced ip the
design of this Journal. Tb* lilt foreign news, togetl-
