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. Unior. ?

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 should he vested in manufacturing establishments, 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. „ P' Columbia county, at Capt John Harris’, on Satur day the 25th instant, Col Zachnriah Williams was called to the chair, and Benjamin Drane, Esq. ap- nninfpt ftopinln.r ' 1 C.ll '--r— «— - - I i- —...l 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. A BURIOTE. Burk County, SOIh dug. 1832. P. S. Patriots of Burke, the enemy is out Be on your guard, let every man be at his post, place your sentinels far and near, that you may not be surprised and the enemy get the slightest advan tage of you. It has just now been intimated to me that some man will, at the meeting that is to take place on Saturday in pursuance of a call made hv a preliminary meeting that was highly respectab^ for its numbers, and the standing of the persons who composed it, make a motion to have that Meeting adjourned until the following Tuesday, a day on which it is supposed a Meeting will take place in Obedience to a call that has been made h the form of a Hand-Bill; but by whom I cannot tell, for the author has concealed his name. Now if there should be an Aristocrat so daring as to avow to your faces, either by Motion or Resolution that your will, the will of the People, should lie put down, for the will of one man, two men, or three men, and he or them as the case may be, lurking behind the ditch that they may not be seen or known. Put him down with your indignant frowns, and mark him and his supporters, if any lie may have, for future occasions. A. B. 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.

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. ! WM. SCHLEY. 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.

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 inff extract of a letter to the Editors, shews ustlj suddenness of the death of Col. Murray, l a,e 1 candidate for Congress. It manifests the stfltfj and virtuous attachment he entertained 6f Union—and as there is something like sanctity 1 ! the last sayings of departed friendship, web^l 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. “ Clark County, 27ih dug. v Gentlemen,—You will have been inform*- 1 . this reaches you, of the death of our friend, Col.
