But cant we use God’s ing. A ad as the raising of Christ from the dead,; "°°d creatures, such as Baptist whiskey &.c. with es the first fruits of the resurrection, is the proof* out being called drunkards? of a general resurrection—so the fact, tliat God lias heretofore carried on his glorious, moral government, through the means o\'"earthen vessels," is the proof that lie will so carry it on hereafter, till the “Heathen shall (all) he given to his son for an inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth, for his possession.” “Go yc into all the world and preach ihe gospel”—my word, delivered hv me and any inspired Prophets and Ajxistles—the word, con tained in the Bible—Not go yc, and preach what I 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.

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 the Gospel si lould be published—that his word have'strife? However united the people of Georgia may be free access, run and be glorified, Stc. &e. Sabbath ^Schools have not only taught tlie word of God to thousands of children in Europe and America, but have been blessed to the conversion of thousands of. c'uildren, teachers and parents, rich and poor— fulfilling again the word—“out of the mouths’ of babes smd sucklings thou hast perfected praise”—“train ■up a child in the way in which he should go”—in the nurture and admonition of God, &c.

We are glad to see, .that you like the Tennessee School, and that tlie young Preachers there, arc List as pious as the “inspired” Georgia preachers, if you will take the trouiile to read the Constitution ■of "the Georgia Convention, you will find that they **don’t take wicked young men, and make minis ters of them whether or no”—but they must be regenerated-—railed of God, and acceptable to their Church and neighborhood, before they are received by the Convention, as beneficiaries—We hope that you will soon give up all vour objections to the Convention and - its objects,* and particularly the forking school.

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.

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.
