Tuesday, October dlh. At ten o’clock tlio President took liin float and tho minutes of tlio pr< uecding mooting worn rood by the Hncrotary. It being then atntod that the printer had pot ready the copies of the Address to the I’eople, which had boon ordered to be printed Tor the uho of members, the Convention took a recess till ooo o'clock. At one o’clock, tlio l'reflident resumed the plrnir. Tho conies of tho Addross not having been received from tho printer, an expected, novo- ful motions were made to take a recess till 4 o'clock, or to adjourn till 10 the next morn ing. The question on otic of these motiouH had been put,arid it would have boon carried in tho affirmative, when just lit this moment, some copies qf the Address were rccoived, and distributed among the members. A'motion wuh then made and curried that the Convention should resolve itself into a committee of tho whole, to consider the ad dress to tho pooplc, reported by tho Gonorul Committco. Mr. Jones, of Georgia, opposed this mo tion, sh calculated to defeat tho object of printing the Address for the iiho of metnhere. But few of t hem had obtainod a copy of the AddfoHH. Not one of them had time to read it, much loss to study it. II<* must have a very strong memory, who could recollect all the particulars, and couple them properly to gether,after hoaringthem once read. Could then the members of tho Convention be said to be prepared to decide on this importuiit document 1 Hevoral gentlemen who were very anxious to save time, thought some progress might bo made in tho consideration of the Address, notwithstanding the unfavourable 'circum stances mentioned by Mr. Jones, and others, and tho convention resolved itself iiuo a com mittee of tho whole, Mr. Daskkh of Virginia, in the chair. 'Vho chairman had.rend but one or two paragraphs of tlio Address, when Mr. Berri en ami several othor members of t he General Committee, who had been ongigod with business in another room, ontered the saloon. In n short and forcildo appeal to the Chair, Mr. Bkiirikn stated that tho object in vio\v in having the Address printed for the use of members, would be defeated by thus proceed ing to discuss it section by section, before having studied it. Ho Imd been engaged in an earnest endeavor to remove some difficul ties which had been started, when ho unex pectedly heard that tho Convention had re solved itself into a committee of the whole to discuss this subject. lie begged members to pause, uud suspend their deliberations, till they hud timo to study tho Addruss in their closets. Col. Prrbton who had made tho motion to gn into Committee of the whole, said lie must injustice to'himself and to prevent mis take, r<1ntc bio motive. 1“ tho Honan, he hud made u motion to adjourn, and had been overruled by a proposition to bring on the discussion of tho Address* Ho hud then moved to go into Committee of the whole, believing that a hasty discussion in tho Corn- mittn ot whale, would ho less injurious tlmn n discussion in tho IIouso. Ho deprecated a debate, without previous deliberation. By a unanimous vote, tho Committco of the whole then roso, reported progress, ami ob* tuined lenve to sit again. Adjourned till 10 o'clock on Friday. Friday, Oct. 8. On motion of Mr. Berrien, tho committee ofthuwholo wore discharged from the fur ther consideration of tho Address. It was then tukon up in tho Convention. A motion was made by tlio Hon. Albert Gallatin, to Btriko out that portion of the Address commencing “ In justice to that bo. dy,” ("Congress) and ending with tho words —“ wny should we, who are tho victims of this system, not stund upon our chartered rights ?" After this proposition by tho Hon. gentln- man from New York, n bri< f, and amicable, but Spirited discussion took place in which Messrs. Gallatin, Berrien, Lynch,ofS.C. and Carpentnu, of Me. took a part. The ayes and noes wore then culled, and the Convention by a large majority negativ ed tho motion of Mr. Gallatin. A Southern delegate then addressod the Convention, and presented some exceptions that ho Imd taken to certain other portions of the Address, which lie then and there speci fied, and commented upon with much oner- gy, but with a respectful deference. Ho said, if his assertions could he gninsayod, and his principles in the matter controverted,- he would submit to such a decision. The ques tion hud not been taken on his motion tor expunging tlio sections tpcutkmod, at half pust eleven o'clock, Friday, Oct. 8th. This day tho Convention wu* in session ftom 10 o’clock in the morning, till near sun dbWn, taking a recoss of only ono hour and a half, beginning at 5 o’clock. As it is not possible from our notes to write out a full ac count of the debate in time for this eveng’s Gazette, we shall to day give a sketch of pro ceeding, intending to give a fuller account on Monday. When tho President had taken his seat in tho morning, Mr. Berrien rose ami in a short and pertinent address, moved that the Committee of tho whole should be discharged from the further consideration of tlio address to the People. Tho Address then camo formally before the Convention, when. Mr. Gallatin rose and proposed to strike out that part of the Addross in which tho views entertained by many of the constitutionality of tho tariff sys tem, are adverted to. Mr. Gallatin gave in a short and emphat ic speech, Ins views of the impolicy and in justice of tho “ American System, but de clined (n3 Mr Berrien had done before, and as he hud suggested all should do,) a discus sion of tho constitutional question. A short dosultary debate, then ensuod, Go vernor Mii.leu of South Carolina, Mr. Cru- okr of tho same State, Mr. Carpenter of Maine, Mr. Gallaiin, ami Mr. Berrien, took a part in it. The question was then taken on tho mo tion to strike out so much cftlio Address as relates to the Constitutional question,when 32 members voted for striking, and 14ft against striking out. Mr. Johnston of SoutU-Caroluia then mo ved to amend the Address by striking out a part of two sentences, in which it is declared to be the belief of many that Congress have powever to afford Incidental prntiction to lcumstanccs. Wo came in obedienre to the pnrticulnr brunches of industry. Mr. J. con- wishes of tho great community which wo rep- tended Congress Imd no such constitutional p^rr ; and supported lus views in a short ami aide speech. Ho was replied to by Mr. Berrien and Mr. JorrftM ot Georgia, both of whom spoke in u vory impressive manner. Mr. Waters of Alabama made a motion to amend Mr. Johnston's motion. M. J. ac cepted of the amendment. Huvcrnl attempts woro made to terminate the discussion, by calls for tho previous ques tion, and by motions to lay the amendment on the table ; hut the Chair decided that none of them were according to the Common Law of ParliiAncnt, in order. Judge Shorter of Georgia, delivered a short and able speech, in apposition to the amendment of Mr. Johnston This led him to the very border of the Constitutional ques tion. Mr. Waters of Alabama, made a few re. marks in support of the amendment. From tlio nature of the case, it seemed al most impossible to discuss the amendment, witlidut discussing the constitutional question Against the introduction of this in'o debate, Mr. Stockton of Now-Jersey protested in very decided terms ; and Mr.Johnston with drew his motion to amend. The question was then put on adopting the Address. Mr. Sedgwick of Massachusetts in anani mated speech explained his reasons for no*- voting for the Address. Ho thought the statement given in it of the views many en tertain of tho constitutional question, had boon injudiciously introduced, and other tilings had boon omitted, which ought to have been inserted. Mr. Berrien thought a reply to this speech would bring on the discussion they were anx ious to avoid. I.oud calls wero then niado for tlio ques tion. It was put, and 158 voted for adopting tho Address, and 21) against adopting it. Mr. Berrien then offered a resolution to discharge tlio Federative Committee, from the duty of preparing a memorial to Congress. Adopted. Mr. Berrien then offered *i resolution for tlio appointment of a committee of one per son for each of the states represented in the Convention, to prepare a memorial to Con gress, to colluct facts illustrative of tlio opera tions of the present system of duties, and to urge on Congress tho adoption of a more lib eral policy. This resolution for the appointment of a committco wuh accompanied with instruction for drawing up tho memorial. Judge Shorter of Georgia tnado n mo tion to amend the instructions, hy introduc ing a clause, making it the duty of tho Com mittee to show that the present tariff is more oppressive to the poor than to the rich. The Judge illustrated this, in .some short ami im pressive remarks : ami the amendment was unumioiisly adopted. Colonel I’rkston of Soulh-Candina objec ted to tlmt part of the resolution which made it the duty of tho permanent committee, or of a sub-coinmittoe ofthat body, to attend at Washington during tho session of Congress Governor Miller of S. C. concurred with Col. Preston. Mr. Gallatin, Mr. Berrien, and Gover nor Taylor of South-Carol inn, thought the attendance of a commit! o uoi essary. Mr. ('it eves .and Mr. Outhiikrt, seemed desirous that a memorial to (!ou*'r<‘ss which tin y understood had been drafted by u sub- commiltu of the Federative Committee,should be submitted to the Convention. Mr. Berrien thought this would detain members long from their homes. Mr. GallttUn said a much better memorial could ho prepared, if tune was allowed to the permauont committee. Wo must depend principally on facts, and time is required for collecting those facts and arranging them.— Ho was, besides, anxious that at the close of Convention, there should be ono vote which should shew to their opponents, that all the members wore of ono mind in regard to tlio groat object. The principles set forth in the instructions, wero so excellent, that all he hoped would approve thorn. After 6ome further remarks from different gentleman, tho question on tho resolution Ibr instructing tho permanent committee, wrp taken and decided in .tho uflirmativo. Ayes lft(). Nays 2. Mr. Poindexter moved that a committor bo appointed to confer with t he Tariff Con vention to bo hold at Now-York on tho i»5tli j of October. Chancellor Harper of S.C. in a short and lucid address, opposed this motion. It was then resolved to take a recess till half past 4 o’clock. Afternoon Session.— 1 tho . President re. quested the members of each delegation, to lay on the table tho name of the gentleman who would ho preferred by them, as member of the permanent committee.

Mr™ .n,l rv, In.ur.nc. b was a hope clouded with the Upprehonsion ot ailuro, from that contrariety of views mid varying shades of opinion, which so often prevail in numerous assemblies of men. I congratulate you gentlemen—I congrat ulate our constituents, and our common cmijitrymay, I congratulate the grent princi ple of free trade of which we are the advo cates that the result of our deliberations, has more than realized all their fondest hopes, and more than disappointed ail their tbarful appre hensions. It has done more—It has given to the wind, tlio ill omened auguries of those whoexul- tingly predicted, a plentiful harvest of dis traction in our councils, and tin; scattering of fire brands, which would kindle the flame ofeivil war amongst our people. Thank God ! This was not our purpo se. Tins is not what we have done—we came hero with pence on our lips, and in our hearts—we Imvo spoken the Ian gunge of peace and friend* ly expostulation. Wo have appca'od to our coiinirymen, mid in the name of justice, Inure called upon Ilium, for a redress of our griev ances. And will this appeal be in vain? I hope, I trust, I believe, it will not. I persuade myself, that our countrymen, will listen with respectful attention, to the complaints of their bret heron ; I persuade myself, that Congress too, their and our rep resentatives and servants, will not turn u deaf ear, to a remonstrance, coming from a quarter, nnd supported hy a voice to which even the proudest iti -march, on a Fairopoan tlirnne, would feel it to ho Iiir duty, lo vouch safe an attentive hearing. Should such lie the happy fruits of our de liberations, wo may felicitate ourselves upon having been members of this body,—we may well rejoice, that it will afford a new and gratifying proof of the value of our govern ment. Tho experience of the late war, had furnish ed ilustrious evidence of its ability, to carry ns gloriously nnd triumphantly, through a perilous struggle with tin; most, powerful-na tion of the earth. This would phew its bun- py aptitudes for n time of peace—ft would shew that public opinion, enlightened hy in formation, and guided hy justice, will stamp its impress upon the legislative counsels of the country. That its every form and press ure will he exhibited in the acts ofthat leg islature, dispensingequal rights to each por tion of (lie community, nnd causing overy wnve of discontent, which disturbs the repose of the srtc'ety, to subside und settle down, into the profound calm of .perfect content ment. That such may ho tho auspicious results ol our deliberations, I invoke the patriotism of our follow citizens, I invoke the justice of our common country, I invoke the genius of tho Constitution, and that spirit of harmony, which culled it into being.

Not to feel gratified at such a manifests- , . . tion of good opinion fVom such a body, would ,e,n bw5n on my purt. betray an niter want of sensibili ty and of gratitude—not to acknowledge it, would be an equal want of candor.

Resolved, That we consider the un restrained intercourse that at present exists between the slaves and free persons of color, living in Town, and thoso'in the Country, as highly injurious to this class of our population. It ahull be the duly of the Patrols- and other citizens to arrest and punish any slave or free persons of color living in Augusta, who may be found beyond the limits of said city, unless such slave or free person of color shall be upon tho business of his or her owner, em ployer, or Guurdian of such free persons of color. 4th. Resolved, That in the presents late of affairs, wo decut ull collections of slaves, and free persons of color, dangerous to the pence of the country, nnd injurious to themselVcs ; we consider it*therefore the duty of every citizen ig disperse any such assemblage wherever it may be, during the night or day, and whether assembled und-T tho pretext of religious worship, or any other, unless such assemblage be by permission of their owner or employer, on their own premises, and by their own slaves. 6tl».

Their recent sufferings from want ot food are represented to have far cxceded any account yet published. It has been ascertain ed that not more than eight or ten white men, married to natives, now resido among them, the rest having gone with other emigrants west of the Mississippi. Would those simi larly situated among the Cherokees imitate their example, they would not only be bene- fittod themselves, but no barrier would tlion be interposed to the peaceable removal ofthe Indians. Had they consulted their own con venience and inclination, uncontrolled by the haloful influence of white men, they would have emigrated long since, and Georgia, in stead of contending with selfish politicians, and enduring tho anathemas of bigoted fana- Tlic Boston papers mention that on tho 5th inst. a Convention of Ami-Masonic Delegate* from tlio seve ral counties in Massachusetts, was held in that city, at vhich John Quincy Adams was nominated as a can didate for G ivemor, and Tiiomas L. Wintiirop (or Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts. Mr. Adams subsequently declined, when Samuel Lathikip, of West Springfield, was nominated in his stead. We understand, say* the Boston Courier, that orders were roce.ved ot Fort Independence on Sunday evening, to detach two companies of Infantry to Old Point Com- fort, in Virginia ; and dial Iwo companies are to be sent from Now. York, and one from New London, to the same post. Tiioso from New York with 60 recruiis have arrived. tics, would now have been in the quiet poss ession of the whole of her rightful territory. The Treasury and the PuBtio Debt.— Washington, Oct. 10.—A leading feature m General Jackson’s policy is the speedy ex tinction of t he Public Debt. By tlio official notices which have just appeared, it will bu seen that the new Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. M'Lane, is co-operating heartily in the accomplishment of the President’s views.— lie lias already given notice for the payment of six millions of dollars, on the first of Janu ary next: jand we understand lie has pur chased ofthe Bank ofthe United States, on fnvorable terms, the whole of tho Public Debt held by that institution, amounting to seve ral millions ; so that tho Public Debt which will have been paid off during the first six months of his administration of tho Treasury, will considerably exceed nine millions of dil- lars. Globe. Charleston, October 15.—An attempt to rob the Union Bank was made at about mid night last night, by a person, who from tho cap and implements left behind him, is sup posed to he a negro. Ho was discovered by one of the officers, and escaped by leaping the railing, leaving a life, tinder box, and bor ing instrument, nt the window through which ho was attempting to enter.—Evening Post. Seditious Publication.—A numbor of the “Liberator,”.u paper printed in Boston, came to the post office in this placo last week, containing tho most illiberal and Qold blooded allusions to the late supposed insurrection. The paper found its way into the hands of the Attorney General, who submitted an in dictment to the Grand Jury, (who were then in session) against Wm. Lloyd Garrison and Issue Knapp, the editor and publisher of the paper, for its “circulation nnd publication” in this county, in contravention to the net of the last General Assembly. Tho Grand Ju ry, we learn, found a “True Bill.” So, we suppose ilienccuEcd will be demanded by the Governor of this State ; but whether they will be surrendered or not by the Executive of Massachusetts is a matter about which wo are not prepared to hazznrd a conjecture.— The act makes the offence Felony—whip ping and imprisonment for the first offence, and death without benefit of clergy, for the second.—Raleigh (N.

For • strength, durability and beauty, our ships are not surpassed by any on the continent. Yet after all,"it is a species of manufacture, cramped by the pretended protective system of the times.

Clay Coqvention lo meet in December at Baltimore. Probably he will then do ns John Alden did, when Miles Stnndiflh sent him on a message of love to a fair damsel; the following is the anec dote :— “ In a very short titpo after the decease of Mrs. Standish, the cnp'ain wus fed to think (lint if.he could obtain Miss Priscilla Mullins, a daughter of Mr. Wm. Mullins, the breach in his.family would be happily repaired. lie therefore, according to the custom of those times, sent to ask Mr. Mullins’ permission lo visit his daughter. John Alden, the messen ger, wont and faithfully communicqled tic wishes of the captain. The old gentleman did not object., as he might have done on account ofthe recency of captain Standishc'n bereavement. Ho said it was perfectly agreeable to him, hut the young ludy must La consulted. The damsel was then called into the room, and John Alden, who is said to have been a man of most excellent form with a fair and ruddy complexion, arose and in a. very courteous and prepossessing manner,, delivered his errand. Mis* Mullins listened with respectful attention, and at Inst, after a. considerable pause, fixing her eyes upon him,, with an open and pleasant countenance, said, “pr’ythee John why do you not spent? for yourself, /” He blushed, bowed and took !ns lenve, but with u look which imtfetcd more than his diffidence would permit him otherwise to express. However he soon re newed his visit, and it was not long before their nuptials were celebrated in ample form. From them are descended all ofthe name, Alden, in tho United States. What report he made to hi.t constituent, after the first in terview, tradition does not unfold ; but it is said, how true the writer Knows not, that the enptnin never forgave him to the day ofhis death. Creek Indians.—Through the medium ofthe Macon Telegraph, wo learn that the Creek Indians arc much more disposed to wards emigration than they wero a year since and that it is probable they will before long be induced to remove en masse to their western tcritory. Some cases of small Pox still exist among them, but their almost universal resort lo vuc ination, and their burning ofthe infec ted clothes anil houses, has arrested the pro- gress ofthe disease. They have, it appears, shared plentifully in the products of agricul ture this season, and made corn enough for a year’s consumption, hut their thoughtless pro digality will probably leave them destitute of i provision before near harvest time ar-1 FOR THE GEORGIAN. the place of my birth.
