The news is more warlike in its character tlun
has before reached us for some months.
The Austrian Ambassador at laris Count d Ap-
nonv, was dangerously sick.
The plarnie is announced as having made its ap
pearance at Constantinople. The symptoms tins
year arc much more alarming than usual, and gieat
numbers arc falling victims.
The Cholera was raging in Paris with consider
able violence. Death on the 13th, 205, viz. at
largo 152, hospitals 53. Increase from the previ
ous day, 35. ‘Admitted to the hospitals, 118; cur
ed 21." Died of other diseases, 48.
Savs a Paris date of the 19th, “ The extraordin
ary increase of the cholera begins to revive all the
tears of the inhabitants of this capital, who had ima
gined themselves rid of the epidemic, at least tor
\ he presem. This second developemcnt of the dis
ease was anticipated by phvsicans who had obser
ved its progress in other places, for instance at
Berlin, where the second visit of the epidemic was
more severe than the first.
Paris, July 17.—The increase of cholera during
ihc last da vs corresponds most unfortunately with
the high temperature of the atmosphere, which
day before yesterday passed SO deg. ot Rcauiner,
and is to-day at the same intensity.
There is a general complaint that the measures
'nken by government on the first apppcrance ot
the disease, were too, suddenly discontinued.
Paris, July 19.—In every part of France the
heat is excessive. At btrasburg and Lisle, the
thermometer rose to 15 2ti degrees ot Reaumur.
Besaneon it even reached 20 1-2.
Tar is, July 19th.—Two companies are men
tioned to-day which have been formed for t he pur
pose of taking the new loan of one hundred and
fifty millions of francs. One is composed of Roths
child brother’s JonasHagerman Bianc Colin St Co.,
Fillet Will & Co. Andre. Sl Cottier, James Lite-
We Si Co. etc.—The other of Hottingcur Si Co.
Delessert Si Co. Rougemcnt, de Lowenberg, Bar
ing Brothers. and many other English houses.
‘Paris, July 19.—Our government lias received
a courier from the Hague, with dispatches from the
Marquis ofDalmatia. They announce that the
cabinet of the Hague has received the reply oft he
Conference to its projected Treaty, but that it still
persists in refusing to accede to the propositions of
the five Powers. Private letters from the Hague
add, that the Kingof Holand has just received in
telligence from Prince Federick ot Holland, dated
at Berlin, which indicate a disposition on the part
of the Prussian government, to sustain the Dutch
cabinet in the course which it hashiiherto pursued.
And in truth, when we sec the Austrians and Prus
sians on the point of establishing themselues on
the Rhine, it is not suprising that all concession is
refused, since it is certain that those powers will
assist the Dutch, the moment France shall render
aid m the Belgians.
In spite of the uncertainty in regard to the fate
of Belgium, the King of the French perseveres in
1 he intention ol'giviug his daughter in marrage to
King Leopold, hoping that this alliance will add
respectability to the new realm, in the view of the
King of holla nil, and give it greater chances of
premancnce. It is now said that the marriage-
will take place on the Sth or 10th of August.
Tirin’, July 6.—A French courier has passed
through this place, on his way to Rome, lor the
purpose of conveying to M. de St. Aulaire the rc-
p!y to the note of the Roman Court on the cubjoct
of the evacuation of Ancona. It is said to be ot an
evasive tenor. Tiie French Cabinet give it to be
understood that it is impossible at this moment to
comply with the wishes oi the Pope, tun they hope
Kira more favorable period.
Paris, July IS.—'The official part ol the Mom-
tour to-day does not. contain the nomination of
judges Rnd justices of the peace. Under the head
of Intel ior, the official journals has a few lines rela
tive to the Protocol of the Germanic Diet, but de
mands for the government the right oj presenting
ailmcc on questions which have not arrived to their
termination.
Nevertheless, the manner in which the Muns
ons treat the qustion, leaves no doubt as to the
ulterior views of the government in favor of our
neighbors and ancient compatriots of the Rhenish
Provinces. w
It appearsthat the vessels of war which have
been simultaneously fitted out at Cherbourgh,
Brest and Toulon, are to rendevouz at the port
first mentioned. The proximity of this port to the
North Sea, confirms the conjectures already made,
ihat the destination of this sqadron is cither to the
Scheldt or the Texel.
Taris, July 18.—For some time past, much has
been said concerning the armaments at Brest and
Toulon. All the other seaports are likewise fullof
activity. It would seem that we are actually pre
paring lor a conflict both by land and sea; lor we
are able to announce as a certain fact, that n con
siderable order for muskets and other fire arms has
recently been executed on account ot the govern
ment. The barrels of these muskets were made
in Franco, the stocks in Belgium, and the other
parts in other places. The orders were distributed
in this manner, m order to elude the notice of the
public.
Furthermore, the department of Marine is on
the point of contracting with a house in Paris, for
a considerable quantity of sca-furniturc, such as
stonm engines, cordage, coal, &.c.
In fine, there is talk of constructing a certain
number ef new cannon, of immense calibre, and
other arms, and orders have recently been given
lor great quantities of salt petre and powder.
Paris, July 17.—Rumors of the invasion of
Switzerland by Austrian troops have bee* spread
through all the Helvetic Cantons. This has aris
en from the appearance ol'Certain Austrian officers
on the Frontiers of Tyrol and Lombardy, making
examinations under the pretext of establishing lines
of health. Letters from Milan speak constantly of
the concentration of Austrian troops on the bor
ders of Switzerland.
\Ve have news to-day, which confers the previ
ous reports of a violent insurrection in Renish Ba
t-aria, and that a parfv of troops had joined the
insurgents, Austrian and Prussian troops were ex
pected immediately.
Madrm, July 10.—The whole Court is in a
state ofanxietv in consequence of an indisposition
of the King, the natuie ol which is concealed by
the physicians. Our town is full of Carlists.
Arrival of Don Pedro’s Expedition.—The ship
Alfred, Capt. Welsh, at New York Sailed from
Cadiz on the 11th ult. The steamboat which ar
rived the same day from Lisbon, brought informa
tion that Don Pedro had landed at Oporto, with
his expedition from Terceira.

Suppose this holy ark of our covenant shivered int<
pieces; all tbs lustre of our great Revolution threa
tened with dim eclipse—the blood which has bee;
shed in a common cause, the sense ot conimoi
dangers and of common interests, the participatioi
which we have respectively enjoyed in the fame ot
Warren and of Wayne, of'Marion and ofMercer,of
Greene and of Washington, all, all forgotten And
the larcwell legacy of Washington itself torn in
pieces over the ton.hoi him, who was nee called
the father ot'liis country. Suppose this, and then
what shall not the Virginians lose w common with
the rest of their countrymen? Hear what Mr. Mc
Duffie himself so eloquently told us, but a !ew r years
ago: „ . . ,
“The Union preserves us from wasting and de-
stroving one another. It preserves relations ot
peace among communities, which, il broKCii into
separate nations, would be arrayed against one an
other in perpetual, merciless, and ruinous war.
It indeed contributes to our defence againstioreign
States; but stiff more, it defends us from one
anotheh. For our selves we fear, that bloody and
mournful as human history is. a sadder tage than
has ever been written, might. record the suffer
ings of this country, should icc divide ourselves into
‘separate communities. We fear that our country,
in cqse of disunion, would be broken into commu
nities, which would cherish towards one another
singularly fierce and implicable enmities.
But besides thes common misfortunes, how much
more would Virginia not suffer than Soutn Caroli
na and Georgia? The same stroke which tears
this Union in pieces, may tear her in twain. The
“Old Dominion” might he blotted from the map
And besides, she might become the border State ot
a portion ol'a new T and powerless ana destracted
confederacy—the whole line of the Potomac, per
haps, bristfing with forts and guarded with troops!
Well then, may icc say to our bretheren in South
Carolina and Goeorgia to pause, before they madly
iuslied into nullification and revolution.
But, on the other hand, Virginia abhors as much
as they do the odious system, which they arc de
nouncing. We believe it to be contrary to the
spirit of the Constitution— as interfering with those
internal relations between the States and between
their Citizens, which the Federal Government was
never intended to regulate. Virginia has always
been the unflinching advocate ol the Rights of the
States—even when every other State has deserted
them—and she cannot now- abandon those princi
ples. She cannot, and she will not acquiesce in the
system which has been interpolated upon this Con
stitution ofthe Uion. So far as we understand the
sentiments of our fellow citizens, we do not hesitate
to believe that they never will quietly submit tojt.
They will do every thing they can to save the Un
ion—hut at the same time, they warn their breth
ren ofthe North, to whom they are hound by so
many tics, and whom they would address iu the
most conciliatory terms, to pause in their career,
and to unite with us in reducing the expenses of
the government, in reducing the tariff, still more;
and still more in equalizing its burthens among the
several States of the confederacy. Unless this be
effected, every exertion to preserve the Union may
prove abortive. We do not desire to crush their
manufactures by anv precipitate -reduction. We
a ,;„K ii.o T-JTu be curtailed by degrees, per
cent, after ncr cent., and year after year, until it
he ultimately abolished." But no more capital

m„,u the hypothesis xnm .... JK-cuve pruiu.^.
is to become the settled policy of the country. An
attempt to fasten this policy upon us cannot be
made, but at the risk of the Union itself. Let them
then beware! The Tariff must 1m? ultimately ab
olished. This Union Should not be sacrificed to
the ambition of Politicians, or to the cupidity ofthe
Manufactures. We warn these men ofthe conse
quences of their infatuation. They must abandon
their abominable system, or this Union will proha-
blv be shaken to its centre.
In a word, wc do not hesitate to believe, that if
events sweep so madly to their consequence*, as
they have done South‘of us. for the last six weeks,
Virginia will again have an important part to play
in the political drama. It may become her duty to
attempt both to save the Constitution and the Un
ion. She did much to save the Union in ’39. She
did as much to save the Constitution in ’9S. The
time may he at hand when she will have to display
the same coolness as well as firmness of spirit. But
we are much deceived, if, while She denounces the
Tariff, she will not equally oppose Nullification; if
she does not disclaim all separate State actions, but
insist in case of necessity, ujion a consultation with
lier sisters, and advocate either a Southern Conven
tion, or a General Convention—and first to “ex
haust every argument,” and every amicable expe
dient, before she assents to revolution or to seces
sion. We will first seek justice, not by Nullifica
tion; certainly not by electing a President like
Mr. Clay, whose success itself might jeopardize the
Union—but by united councils—and, wc will repea t,
again and again with Mr. Jefferson. “We will
separate from our companions” (not nullify, mark!)
“onlv when the sole alternatives left, are the dis
solution of our Union with them, or submission
to a government without limitation of powers.”
WHAT WILL THE PEOPLE DO !
Truly we have failed on strange times. A mee
ting is got up at Athens, a leading man comes in
with resolutions ready cut and dried in his pocket.
He takes the meeting in the humour and in the ex
citement caused by his novel way of proceeding, in
addition to that generally attendant upon assem
biages of the kind, his resolutions are passed. But
it is impossible to judge accurately ofthe exact im
port of resolutions in a large aseemblage. But few
can hear distinctly, and when a person does hear,
he is not capable of weighing the precise meaning
of the sentences, and one sentence overlooked, may
contain propositions from which one would entire
ly dissent, if calmly submitted on paper to the
faithful vigilence ofthe eye. Of such a nature do
we consider the resolution delegating to a propos
ed Convention plenary powers to act as may suit
it.
Be it therefore Resolved, That wc, as free citi
zens of Georgia, will not longer submit to a system
of legislation, which is arbitrary, unequal, uncon
stitutional and therefore unjust—that it be recom
mended to our fellow-citizens in the several coun
ties, to elect delegates to a State Convention, to
assemble at Milledgeville on the second Monday
in November next, and to invest them with full
power, in behalf of the good people of Georgia, to
maintain, preserve and defend the rights and privi
leges of the free citizens of this State.
Indeed \ Can we read correctly ? Have we been
a sleep, and dreaming all this time that we had a
Legislature to maintain and defend our rights—a
Governor sworn to “ preserve, protect and defend”
the State? Or has it been reserved for the Athens
and Lexington meetings, to point out to the citi
zens of Georgia the defenceless situation in which
they have been so long placed, without any pro
vision for maintaining and defending their rights.
What have become ofthe protests of our Legisla
ture against the Tariff? Has the deliberate opin
ion of the Legislative part of our State Govern
ment no weight when expressed upon the merits
of the Tariff, that we must, contrary to the spirit
and letter of the cmistitution of Georgia appoint
another body with Legislative powers? The Le
gislature. and no other both’ is the proper pgen
say that we were acting as a single member of the
Confederacy ; for it could lay no claim to be the
constitutional legislative organ ofthe State, as the
Constitution of the State ofGcorgia has expressly
delegated the Legislative power to the General
Assembly consisting of a Senate and House ot
Representatives. Shall we say to this Convention,
“ your acts shall he ours, whatever you do we will
stand by vou, and whatever you command us to do,
we wili at least try to do it.” This would indeed
he delivering ourselves to the Philistines, bound
hand and foot. No doubt the same master spirits
who hare shown themselves at all the meetings to
recommend this measure, will be at hand to prompt
the proceedings of the Convention, and when in
the fullness of speech making valour, it shall be re
solved, as it was at Lexington, to suppprt any
in practical resistance to the Tariff, Georgia would
he placed in the dilemma either of buckling on her
armour to fight with one sister, South Carolina,
against Iter other twenty-two sisters, or of eating
her words.
South Carolina, it semes (or if the mask was hir-
ly thrown off, J. C. Calhoun, & Co.) is to be sup
ported by Georgia at all hazards. This is the doc
trine now. The school-Masters have said it,* Four
months ago, with a Tariff more oppressive than
the recenf one, Georgia denounced the course of
Carolina as being too hasty and as tending to Rev
olution and Disunion. And do the agitators who
have got up these meetings suppose that a few
dinner speeches and dinner toasts are lo complete
such a revolution in the people of Georgia as to
make them embrace sentiments thcyhsvc deliber
ately condemned, and cause them to hug to their
bosoms the man who has been consistent in but
one thing in his political life, and that isanulering
hostility to Georgia and her best interests. When
Nullification triumphs in Georgia, then will John
O. Calhoun be triumphant, for he is identified with
it.
Georgia is interested in the removal ofthe Tariff
oppression as well as South Carolina. She has,
from time to time, protested, through her Legisla
ture, against its unjust operation'on the Southern
States. She has not had to wait for Carolina to
tell her of her own .wrongs, or to piompt her to her
duty. But, when, with honied words, Carolina
would wheedle iier into such a measure as Nulli
fication, she will exercise discretion and beg to be
excused. The Fable ofthe FOX with his tail cut
off, should he remembered. In all constitutional
means to get rid of this odious burthen, Georgia
would cheerfully co-operate with “ any State,” hut
when speech makers undertake to say that she will
uphold" any State,” no odds how rashly that State
may act, they promise an improbability.
With legitimate powers, a convention can only
recommend measures for adoption. Fuller powers,
such as it is proposed bv the Resolution, above quo
ted, we would be very unwilling to see granted.—
To a Convention regularly called, and with the
usual powers, no person could have any objections,
but a grasp at power, like the present, should be
resisted by the people. The ultimate aim is to
place power in the hands of a few.—Let the peo-
S le resist the designing plots of such men, and the
Republic is safe.]—The Georgian.

resolutions were thenTiffcred by Pierson Petit, Esq.
and seconded by Capt Win, Drane. In support
of th* preamble and resolutions Mr. Petit address
ed the meeting, and was applied to by Simmons
Crawford, Esquire and upon their being put to
vote they were adopted with only one dissenting
voice.
A portion of the citizens o! Columbia county
have convened “with a profound sense of the im
portance of a crisis which may decide the destenies,
not of one age and country alone, hut of the remo
test generations and the most distant regions.
The American people are probably soon to de
termine whether a system of rational liberty can be
preserved by justice ai d moderation, or like so ma
ny other human contrivances, must be sacrificed to
the blindness and madness of passion. The delib
erations of this day, inconsiderable in themselves,
borrow a solemn interest from their connection,
however slight, with the general result. In the
discussion of questions which may effect the very
existence of the Republic we shall endeavour, at
least, to make some approach towards that puriry
of feeling which distinguished its illustrious found
ers.
We invoke the spirit of that patriot hero, that
saint of liberty, whose name excites in every virtu
ous bosom a veneration almost religious—of that
Washington who led our armies to victory, and
guided our counsils to harmony and union—who
has left us in his parting advice, a sacred legacy of
paternal wisdom, second only to the teachings of
inspiration itself.
That our resolutions will obtain the approba
tion of all, wc cannot expect, but from all wc may
justly claim that they be received in the same spir
it in which they are offered—“in a temper uninflu
enced by resentment, either towards individuals or
parties. If we know ourselves, all minor conside
rations are, on this occasion, entirely lost in the
deepest solicitude for the institutions, the peace and
the happiness of our country.”
Resolved, That the tariff of 1832 has greatly ame
liorated and reduced that of 1828, lessening the
amount of imposts, several millions of dollars.
Resolved, That inasmuch as the tariff of 1832,
will not go into operation until the month of March
next, it is impossible, ai this time, to say how far
it will, or will not prove onerous lo us; but that
hereafter, if it shall prove burthensnme and un just
to the South, and advantageous to the other sec
tions of our common country, at our expence, we
will then recommend the adoption of such legal,
constitutional and patriotic measures as may be
deemed best calculated to correct the evil.
Resolved, That we will to the utmost of our
power, cleave to, preserve, maintain, and defend the
Union of the States, as the palladium of our nation
al and individual safety and independence.
Resolved, “That considering the doctrine of
Nullification false in theory, and believing that in
practice it leads to discord and rapine—to the dis
union of the States, and to all the terrific and multi
plied horors of civil war—therefore we highly dis-
approbate in any candidate, either for Congress or
the State Legislature, that dangerous and anti re
publican doctrine.
Resolved, “That we disapprove the meeting at
Athens to appoint delegates to a State Convention,
which shall be invested with ‘Tull powers to main
tain, preserve, and defend the rights and privileg
es of the free citizens of this State”—that the dele
gation of a power so broad and unrestrained would
at any time be indiscreet, and at a moment of ex
citement like the present, exceedingly dangerous,”
we will never grant to a convention an unlimited
power or authority over our rights, liberties, or
privileges; but in the event of their being a Con
vention, we wil send delegates with limited and
circumscribed authority.
Resolved, That the course pursued by Messrs
Fgrsyth and Wayne, in supporting the' modified
tnriflof 1832,in preference to that unjust tariff of
1828, meets our decided approbation.
Resolved, That we will give our r votes for the
electorical ticket in support of the rc election of
The doctrine of Nunification not being understood
by every person, it is deemed proper to give an
explanation of it in such a way before our County
Meeting is organized, that all may understand and
judge of H. before they are called upon to vote for
any point relative thereto.
The advocate of Nullification, profess the rignt
of the Legislature, or a Convention formed of Del
egates appointed by the people of the respective
Counties of the State, to declare .Vh/? and I oid,
anf Law of Congress that they may deem uncon
stitutional. Now I will honestly state to you some
of the consequences that will in my opinion grow out
sf a resort to Nullification. The Nullifiers claim
ing a right to open our ports to Foreign Merchan
dize, jfree of duty, and to call in Foreign aid, (Great
Britain for instance a nation that has been our ene
my in two wars) they will if not prevented by ihc
people declare null and void the Tariff Law of 1832,
and open the Ports ot Georgia to Foreign Mer
chandize. The President of the United States will
then station a Naval force on the Const ol Georgia
to prevent a violation of the Laws ofthe United
States as designed by the Nullifiers. T lie Nullifi
ers will then probably call in the aid of Great Brit
ain, and should she accept the call, a war u ill then
ensue between Great Britain and the Nullifiers on
one side and the Government of the United States
and the Citizens of our own State who are friendly
to the continuance of our Glorious L'nion on the
oilier side. Need l go farther in portraying to you
the awful consequences that would inevitably grow
our of such a War? Ask the few remaining hoary
headed patriots who gallantly fought for and assis
ted towards the achievement ofihe Emancipation
of our Country, which gives to us the great bless
ings we now enjoy in this happy but disturbed
Country.—They can tell you what they, their
wives-and children suffered in the struggle they
had for the blessings we now enjoy. To them I
refer vou for a picture.

FROM the RICHMOND ENQUIRER.
NULLIFICATION.
W e received bv yesterday’s mail the promised
Address of Cr>l Hr»yt<»n “To the People of the
Congressional District of Charleston.” It is clear,
canai;t,ana deeply impressive. We shall lay it be
fore our readers on Friday. It concludes with
warning his countrymen against the extremities
into which some men are hurrying them. “Shall
we (say he) instead of aviliug ourselves of that ‘tide
in the affairs of men, which, taken at. the flood,
leadsonto prosperous fortune, 5 abandon whatever
is dear to us as patriots, whatsoever renown we
have derived from our ancestors, whatsoveer ol
glory we have acquired abroad, and whatsoever of
liberty and happiness we have enjoyed at home,
and rashly barter away these inestimable treas
ures, to plunge into the vortex of Nullification ?”
The wild fire is about to be arrested in Georgia.
The proceedings at Augusta, which we publish
this morning, speak a strong and decisive lan
guage. The "Savannah Georgian declares as its
firm belief, “that the mass ofthe people, although
as much opposed to the Tariff as those in any
other State, are unwilling to resort to such a mea
sure, when the last Tariff hill decreased those bur
thens of which they so justly complain.
The Raleigh Register declares that the “ violent
spirits of South Corolina are completely deluded”—
that they have very little lo count upon in North
Carolina—ar.d though it does" not deny, that there
are scattered here and there, throughout the State,
a few prominent men who openly advocate the
doctrine of Nullification, but they are inefficient in
number, however respectable as individuals.”
We assure the nullifiers most solemnly and con
scientiously, that it is the same case in Virginia.—
Every paper in the State is against them—with the
exception ol'one, which is a mere featl.er in the
scaie, and is the hnmble echo of Duff Green. We
know of hut one or two citizens in Richmond, who
are converts to their faith. In the country, they are
“few and fai between.” The force of public sen
timent is decidedly against the doctrine. And
though it has been said that three or four of our
members of Congress have been suspected of Nul
lification, yet their constituents will be very apt to
sound their faith in due season, just as the citizens
of Augusta are about to do with their own candid
ates.

We are certainly under very great obligation to
the Editor of the Recorder, for the information
that he affects to give us respecting Mr. Berrien’s
opinions. But we find that that gentleman has
left the Editor as much in mystery as he generally
cloaks himself; else the Editor has been very ob
scure in conveying to the public his exposition of
the Judge’s sentiments. What position do we
understand Mr. Berrien to occupy, from what the
Recorder has said of him ? Perhaps it may be
known to the Recorder, certainly not to its readers
And we strongly suspect that Mr. Berrien has
thrown “ some of his dust in the eyes” of the
Recorder. As to Mr. Berrien’s tavern talk, we
know nothing about it—nor do we know even yet,
what he said to the Editor of the Recorder, ex
cept that he convincd him of the “ inefficacy” of
nullification. By this we judge, that nullification
is quite too mild a remedy for Judge Berrien, and
we should like to know whether the immediate de
claration of civil war, or a sudden rupture of the
Union and formation of another government, be
ing perhaps more “ efficaciouswould be prefer
red by Mr. Berrien. We need light on this sub
ject. Til! we get it, we shall think that Mr. Ber
rien is either a nullificr, or worse—and this opinion
we derive from the Recorder’s own exposition.
It sorely vexes the Recorder that General Jack-
son should be brought up at all, in the controversy.
Well it may; for there “ the jade evinces.” We
take it lor granted that the Recorder yields the
point, that Mr. Berrien openly professes friendship
to Jack on, and secretly operates against him.—
This is the weight of our charge against him. It
he can succeed, he will carry others with him.-—
W 7 henever the Recorder will bring evidence to dis
prove this charge, we will listen to it. Till then
we shall pursue the course marked out for our
selves, without being diverted from it by the vain
attempts of the Recorder.
W e assure the Recorder that the electoral tick
et we shall support, will every man of them sup
port Jackson. W e thank the editor for his invi
tation, bin wt gcnejalty vote as^we think best.'

will his enemies say next? Will they call fe,
a Nullificr1 Should it become necessary,
will publish the Report drawn up by Schley j,
the Legislatureofl830, to which he alludes^
his letter. But we think his letter sufficient i 0
clap an extinguisher upon this false rumor aga^,,
him.—The following is his letter—
Augusta, 28th May, I83y
Dear Sir—I was in the act of sealing a let;.,
written by me to Maj. Stocks upon the subject c
the report in circulation in regard to my opinion r
the decision in the {case of Worcester vs. tj.
State of Georgia, when your letter of the 21st bv
upon the same subject, come to hand. I had rec \
ved a letier from a friend in Washington City i-.
forming me that Maj. Stocks whilst there on j'
way to the Baptist Convention in New York gij.
ted that I sided with or approved ofthe decision r •
the Supreme Court of the United States in ij,
Case of Worcester, vs. the State of Georrin.-
From what source Maj. Stocks derived his mfor-
motion I know not; and as he was circulating..
report founded, to say the least ofit, on a miscon.
ceptiou or misrepresentation of my opinions, I
deemed it a duty I owed to him and myself, to u r .
deceive him in that regard, and 1 have according
done so.
So far from having exnpresscd or entertained sn
opinion in favor of the decision of the Suprem,
Court, I have uniformly held and avowed the re
verse. And this loo, long before the case ofW 8r .
cester occurred. My opinion upon the subject d
the state’s right of jurisdiction over the Cherokee
country was formed upon mature investigation
and deliberation whilst a member of the Legist
ture in 1830, and acting as Chairman of a°8uk
committee of the Committee on the state of the r-
E ublic, to whom that subject was referred. Ai
y a reference to the report of the Committee a
that subject which was drawn up by me, you y,
find that I declared the right of Georgia to juris
diction over art the territory within her charter;
limits, and over all persons within those limbs,
whether" tcAifc men ofred men or Black men.”-.
The reasons for this opinion you will find atlarr
in the report.—When the decision of the Supreme:
Court come to hand, I read it over and over ajslu
with the view of ascertaining whether the opinio;
I had formed in 1830 and expressed in the above!
stated report was right or wrong; or in other wo:
whether there was any reasoning in the decision cl
the Court which could change my opinion, a::|
convince me that I was wrong. And I now decla:
lo you. as I have repeatedly said to others, tk:|
so far from changingmy opinions, that decision!,:
confirmed them; and convinced me that Genrr |
is right in her course.—Yes, so confident am I
the justice of our cause, that I have said, that how l
ever presumptuous it might seem in me to nail
the assertion, yet I did assert that I,even I, could:
one hour convince any men whose minds are r-1
preoccupied or prejudiced either way, that then!
cision is wrong, illegal, unconstitutional and o -l
pressive, totally destructiveof the rights, the hon
or, and the sovreigmy of Georgia.
And yet notwithstanding the fact that these r|
my opinions and have always been, since I fir.
investigated the subject; and which opinionsh:v
been publicly expressed both bv writing arj
speaking, I can hear from all quarters of the sta!?.|
“ that I have declared myself in favor of the <kvA
ion ofthe Supreme Court” How is this to beac |
counted for ? Charity compels me to believe
the originators ofthe report must have misundr-l
.stood or miscon eived my views and opinions, ij
I am unwilling »o believe that any man with whoij
I have ever conversed on the subject iviwj
knowingly and willfully assert tchat he did not b. j
lieve.

NULLIFICATION.—This subject but pre
sents itself to a community to throw every thing
into confusion. Our citizens have given it a pro
per reception. YYe regret to layover, even for
one week, the highly interesting proceedings ofthe
counties of Morgan and Chatham. These influ
ential and respectable counties have done their
duty. In Chatham their unanimity is in the high
est degree honorable. At the close ofthe meeting
says the Georgian, only one voice was heard for
Nullification. In Columbia there appears to have
been some confusion. We have not found time to
read the tedious report of the Chronicle. In Co
lumbus tl\ey had something like a row. From the
report we find in the Democrat, we deem it a cause
of gratitude, that no blood was shed. We expect
to present the details nixt week.
THE NEW YORK JOURNAL OF COMMERCE.
IM POT ANT FROM THE WEST.
The editors ofthe Journal of Commerce have
favored us with the following extract of a letter da
ted, Belvjlle, near Sft. Louis, Aug. 9.
The Steam-boat Warrior, Captain Trockmorton,
arrived this morning (Aug. 9,) at St. Louis, and
reports that on her way from St. Peter’s to Praric
du Chine, with 16 U. Si. Troops and 1 Officer on
board, he encountered the whole of “ Black
Hawk’s” Indians crosssing the Mississippi.
The warrior, on pomming up with them imme
diately “ run into, and run down” several of their
rafts, and drowned, shot and took prisioners,about
300 Indians. General Doge and Henry came up
immediately lo whom the Warrior gave up her
prisoners.
According to the returns submitted to Congress
at the last session of that body, the number of citi
zen soldiers enrolled in the militia ofthe United
States is 1,244,569. These returns are in many
cases incomplete. The real number is probably
not far from 1,350,000; or one to ten of the whole
population. In case of extreme necessity, a still
greater number, by half a million, could be brought
mt» the field. In short we have nothing to fear
from external foes; our inos formidable enCmics are
ourselves. JY. Y. Journal of Commerce
lUho would be a nullifier ?—Who would wish to
live under a happier government than ours? Uncle
Sam’s boys are up to any thing. His sailors can
thrash any thing in the shape of a war craft—His
soldiers, without shoes or shirts, can bang old Eng
land—His working men can make nutmegs out of
button wood and flints out of horn—His women
are pretty enough, aud smart enough, and sweet
enouirh to melt the stoutest heart in Christendom.
There’s no two ways in uncle Sam—His Hickory
can play shclalee in the battle field, and give glory
and dignity to the cabinet work—His hunters can
“run down a panther, and'whip their weight in
wild cats”—His philosophers can “ snatch the
lightening from heaven and the sceptre from ty
rants”—His poets “can split a rail and boil a cab
bage”—His farmers can eat their own bread, drink
their own wine, wear their own leather and home-
spun, smoke and chew their tobacco, and “ He at
home”—His Congressmen can pull off the comets
tail—and his boatmen can run down Indians with
a steam, and catch a “ Hawk” before he can
cross a river. Huzza for Uncle Sam ! He has
only three more things to do, to clap the climax o‘
his glory and renown—pronounce the funeral dirge
of nullification ; catch the sea scipent; and finish
Davis’s Rail road from the Alatamaha to Rail
road creek!! Hurrah for Uncle Sam, and his J
twenty four daughters! Only stick together, gals,
and you can bang creation—and nullification to
boot!!
GENERAL NEWNAN.—The great i
iety felt by the friends of this gentleman, ai|
the many statements afloat in relation to !:
opinions, have caused him to submit his vi v j
to the people. They are now before his cej
stituents, who cun judge for themselves.
To the Editors r/the Federal Union :
Gentlemen—As many of my consti turn** haver: |
ifested much solicitude to ascertain my views in
o the present critical state of affairs in onr be!™,
country, I seek this occasion, to communicate
through the medium of your paper.
In the first place, I believe, that any member of:
Union upon her own responsibility, and as a free, sen
ciyn, and independent State, has the right to pur.-
such a course as she may deem the best calculated ter-1
rest the mischievious and destructive effects of tLc<ni: -.|
unequal, and unconstitutional tariff act of 1832.
2d. I believe the proposition for assembling dcltr. ,: |
>n convention from all the counties in this State, a: U I
ledgcvillo, in November next, to take into eonsiderol
our grievances, and the proper remedy for their renx'-
is a wise and prudent measure; and I am willing to a&|
by the decision, of the convention, if ratified by am:."
itv of the people.
3d. I am opposed to a separation of the States, ua-
we are driven to this expedient, by continued robfcff l
and relentless oppression; and rather than supporttfv|
measure which I thought calculated to weaken tkeUt-l
ion, I would acquiesce in the present tariff, had as i:i:I
for a few years longer, provided I could now be confis-l
ed, that it would gradually, and in a short time, fcv.“-|
duced to a proper revenue standard. I
4th. I am opposed to a Southern convention, for I-I
apprehensive that in it wc would have to encounter*!
wiles of a “magician,” and the projects of high tifll
constitutional tariff, and protestando men ; and lAe*l
Philadelphia convention it would prove toboain ;0 l
tion, and somewhat similar to the miserable hoax t»l
was got up at Baltimore in the month of May last. T
5th. I believe »he tariff bill ofthe last session off ’I
gress, as much opposed to the true spirit of the constcl
tion, and as burdensome upon the protected articles v-*;l
in the South as the act of 1828; and viewing it inI
light., I felt conscientiously bound to record ray 1 I
against its passage, and I rejoice from subsequent nj
flection and examination, in having done so. -
same time I have the charity to believe that t#
Southern men who voted for the bill were "oyerrwi -
good motives. DANIEL NEW>A>

Washington, Sept. 1st, 1832. 9—3;
JUDGE SCHLEY.—We stated in our last
that we were fully in possession of Judge Sch
ley’s opinions of the decision of the Supreme
Court in the case of Worcester against the State
of Georgia. F rom flying rumors, and an in
timation in one of the public gazettes, we have
anticipated an attack upon him on this subject.
As early therefore as the month of May, we
took occasion to place ourselves fully in pos
session of Judge Schley’s explicit views on the
subject. The expected attack has been made
through the columns of the Southern Recorder.
Major S tocks, the President of our Senate, had
also received the impression from some source,
that Judge Schley supported the decision. A
correspondence passed between them in which
Mr. Stocks became perfectly satisfied that the
charge was false—and he has frankly said to
the Judge, that he would take occasion to con.
tradict it, whenever it should be brought up in
conversation before him. We now have it in
our powder to do Judge Sehley the most ample
justice in this matter. Though his letter has
been lying by ever since the latter part of
May, as we did not choose to come forward in de
fence of so honorable, open, and upright a man
till he should have been attacked.—We now
give the writer in the Recorder, and the people
0 f Georgia, the undisguised and clear views of
judge Schley himself, written to one the Editors
The dying legacy of our Friend.—The toi “:i

suddenness of the death of Col. Murray, l a,e 1
candidate for Congress. It manifests the stfltfj
and virtuous attachment he entertained 6f

determined* to record his lofty sentiments, that «l
friends of the Union may say, “ in death wefffl
not divided” from him we had chosen to ( e P If jf[
our highest interests. In the veiy paper in I
we announced his death, it was our intention -1
have corrected an erroneous impression that rl
gone abroad, that CoS. Murray was once run afI
Adams Elector in Georgia. It was another
tleman of the same name; and we now only w- \
tion if, as an act oi historical justice.
