The propositions laid own by May. Crawford are such as command a ady assent from those who stood by Troop in 10 hour of Georgia’s peril ; There may be many, ovrever, whose voices were then the loudest, ut are now listened for in vain; many who looJ forth among the boldest champions of State I/ins, whoso places are now vacant: many rho gloried that they were considered vigilant rarders on the watch-tower, whose arms have hded from their grasp, and whose forms are no inner seen upon the battlement* ; what myste ious oramaryc. has wrought this change, we pre mi! not to divine. To them we have no argu itnts to oiler, from them we expect no co-opera oo. The attempt would be idle, perhaps, to in them back to the paths their feet had forsa en, but if our judgment of human nature be not rrotteous, it is from them that wc are to expect ic fiercest assault. New converts are distinguish -Iby their fiery and intemperate zeal, and their ration;; impetuosity has passed into a prov.rb.

We fear it ut, “Truth is mighty and will prevail.” 'o flie editors of tht; Georgia Jour nal, Southern Recorder, n»»<| Georgia Times.

Wt denounce 'o man's honestly expressed opinions, but wc feel lumli-ea justified sometimes in ( Ontrioicti.no Ins iwertions—Most particularly do wc feel so, when 'kelight ol trutli cast its strong glare in our faces, tviiiniimg too clearly to be mistaken, the errors of tore Kid, whom we have to contend. There is 'one who reprobate, more strongly than wc do, a ’old and unwarrantable contradiction of an estab- K'hed truth—but such was not our conduct. Wc "tt the Banner on dcbatcable ground, and placed ■more them our arguments vindicating, and sustain. ln Sour position. Their accusation, however, amounts to no more hue tills—that it was somewhat tine, unions to dis ■ttec with them in opinion, and express our disa blement. Upon this subject, however, the editors the Southern Banner, and the editor of the s must unfortunately diffi r again, ttoiw ithhtand. r 6 the anathema already launched against us.~- Ve (ire persuaded, however, that the editor of that nmt, on reflection, will perceive, that they were ’-sty m laying on our shoulder so heavy art accusa Hon. To our arguments,*’ they say, “ they have ’’thing to object,” a-nd we offer them the tribute. D> °ur applause, for having the candour and the lorutsty to say so. With many of those who have b• ayed themselves in opposition to our doctrine , nt arguments of the Nulhfters are considered as ttte verbiage— their tlteory, not only Utopian and t-usive, fiat designedly talse and corrupt: thetr in - *■ n.isns have been represented of the darkest hue * ■ “nr m'cgrtty only to bo paralleled by that of hie '•’rate majesty himself. Unmerited a' uec lias been mildest reasons urged against their heresies. Wnnn and ignominy have bean so liberally bestow. *•’ t * lal flic.very name has almost become *‘ a by worcl and a reproach." We therefore rejoiced to ’ tr «ivo, that although opposed to un, the Banner r; ‘' Acknowledges a courtesy due to the foe, we '-••1 bs glad to meet them on the political arena, “•A reason and argument for our only weapons, at al! times to acknowledge and appreciate *°Mrteous conduct of an adversary "To cur ’Ft-.vc.its they have nothin” to object.” Certain GEORGIA TIMES, AND STATE RIGHT’S ADVOCATE. ft is, that we expected no objection from the mem bers of the State Rights party in Georgia. We ex. pressed the principles which have been the acknow ledged fundamental ones of the State Rights doc trines. However much we may differ a3to details in the great elementary truths of the theory, there can be no discrepancy of opinion. Tile Banner is advocating the cause of .-tate Rights, and so are wc. Shall we captiously find fault with him whose arm is raised to strike for us ar.d for freedom, because his weapon is somewhat more old fashioned, and less adapted for efficient use than our own ? Cer tainly not. THE CONVENTION. The acts of designing politicians, to impose upon the credulity of the people, and secure for them selves a personal aggrandizement at the expense of a general good, cannot be sufficiently reprobated. We have been, for some time, silent spectators of the embittered contest now waging in this state, in relation to the proposed amendments of its constitu tion. Silent, not because wo were careless of the event of flic conflict, but lor the reason that wc have a repugnance to the belief, that our adversaries, (to speak m tbe mildest terms of (heir conduct) are not actuated by the uggestions of principle. v\ e had supposed them prompted to their course, by an ho nest but mistaken view of the nature of the refor , a. lion they were uigmg, that they were fully convinced of the equality of the plan of representa tion which they were advocating: but we are now compelled to believe that, the welfare of the peo ple, however much it enlists their support with the lip and pen, is ail utter stranger to their hearts. XV e feel ourselves borne out in this conclusion, from the fact, that the presses in tiiu state bate been abun dantly prolific in caieuiatkins, showing the vast ine quality of the proposed plan of representation, the unjust and arbitrary distribution of power in botli branches ot the Legislature, and developing to the candid reader, the startling anti humiliating circuin stance, that the congregated wisdom vt the State, in the late Convention, instead of av:cliurat: ng the burdens ol which the people complained, have in reality in reared them, and that too, lor party pur poses, and to secure for a favored few, a lasting po litical ascendancy. So far from attempting to refute these arguments, they advance most steadily on ward, deling oat contradictions and assertions with no niggard hand. When these effective and cour teous weapons of polemical warfare, fail of attain ing their aim they resort to witticism and ridicule, as their readiest and most availing substitute While we are upon this subject, we are induced to notice the latest specimen of the kind emanating from the facetious editor of the Georgia Telegraph. He says, ...but we may as well place the “ jeu d’es. prit* in its totauty belore our readers j “ Wo marvel greatly, that the true, real, bona fide, exclusive Republicans as they call themselves, (who so abhor Federalism, that they cannot tolerate the Federal Flag—in whom a Federal salute excites a nausea— who execrate the Federal President, despise the Federal Government, and would destroy the Federal Constitution.) are so hugely taken up with tile Federal Basis! The Federal Basis!! Had it been known by any olir.r name, appellation, or cognomen, the wonder ment would have been less; hut for them to advocate any basis, measure, or principle, with the adjective Federal prefixed to it, is incomprehensible. Why, ’tis as unsearcha ble as the secrets of Anti-Masonry—as incon ceivable as ihe mysteries of the Koran.” Doubtless! The intellectual ability ot the Tele graph may be sadly puzzled by the injudicious use of epithets. As for instance, (we cite from another article in the sains paper :) .. “ It is proper a State should be represented in Congress according to her influence. And it is just as proper that the black operatives of Georgia should be represented as that tbe white operatives of Massachusetts should be. The former are not more antler the control of their masters, and have as much interest in political matters, ns the latter.” The ‘white operative’of Massachusetts, (as it happens) can go to the polls and deposit his own ticket in the ballot box for the support, not only of his congressional Representative, but his Reprc. sentutivc in the Stats Legislature too. And the “black operative” of Georgia says the editor of the 'l'et-grupl. 1... -- •»•>>-• K interest ill noUtlCul matters, as the first mentioned ‘ operative" and certainly should by a parity of reasoning be entitled to the same influence in the domestic councils of the State. Before we dismiss him from our notice we would inform the editor, that no imposing array of words can deter us from advocating such measures as seem to us in the sincerity of our hearts most con. ducive to the welfare of the State ; and it he should tell us that the great head and original leader of his own party w: s a nullifier, we should not be the less zealous in the support of the doctrine. But to return fromour digression. The greatob. jection-t to the ratification of the proposed amend ment, have been arranged under the following heads Ist. ’I he inequality of the Representation. 2d. The increase of burdens, complained of un dor the former system. 3d. The impolicy ol discarding the.present Basis. XVe shall resunie|the subject from time to time at our leisure, and lay our views before our readers arranged under the heads above mentioned. STATE RIGHT’S FESTIVAL, aktf ayuiaasiao Couipsiuicntary to the Honorable GEORGE M’DIJFFIE. The friends of State Bights from different parts of the State, attending the Commencement at A thena, having learned that Mr. McDuffie was in town, resolved to tender to him a public dinner, as a testimony of their respect for his private and public virtues, and as approbatory of his brilliant and successful efforts in support of the conserva tive doctrines of State Bights. They felt that this public mark of their respect to a distinguished statesman, was not only due from these conside rations, but they also felt a pride in thus greeting with a cordial welcome, a native sou of Georgia, who had so nobly achieved a name second to none in the Bepublic, for devotion to Southern rights and Southern interests, and no place for the man ifestation of this respect, could be more appro priate (to borrow an idea from a distinguished ci tizen present) than Athens, “ to honor talents where talents are cultivated.” With these views, the following letter was addressed to him, by a coinmitteo appointed for that purpose, and and responded to in the one which succeeds it: To the Honorable George .McDuffie. SIR —The undersigned having been requested by many of the citizens of this state, now assem bled at this place, to invite you to a public din ner, as a testimony of respect to yourself, as a distinguished native son of Georgia, and for your able defence of State Bights and Southern inter est on the floor of Congress—do, in compliance with said request, respectfully invite you to a pub lic dinner to be given in this place, at such a time as will best suit your convenience. Very respectfully, your vb’t serv’ts, Ed. Harden. Itobt. Dougherty Geo. It. Clayton, C. Strong, John H. Howard, Gray A. Chandler, Geo' H. Young, Tito. M. Berrien, A. U. Chappell, Chas. Dougherty, John Moore. W, J. Pearman, I*. 11. Echols, A. B. Longsireet, SaT.ue! Rockwell, Committee. Athetu, Aug. #, 1633. Mr, McDuffie’* Reply. Gentlemen —l have just received your kind note, containing the unexpected ami flattering invitation of “ many of the citizens of this state, now assembled at this place” U> partake of a pub lic dinner, which they propose to give in testimo ny of their respect * r me, “ as a native son of Georgia,” and for my exertions in “ defence of State Rights and Southern interests.” As I cannot but regard this proceeding on the part ot my fellow-citizens of Georgia, as a mani* tertatioK oi their devotion to thosegreal princi ples of constitutional liberty, which I have hum bly, but zealously struggled to maintain, and in which 1 believe, the very existence of the south ern states, as sovereign communities of freemen, to be involved, I have been induced to over-rule the scruples of cautious prudence, and accept of the proposed honor, even at the hazard of giv ing rise to misapprehensions and consequent mis representations . As I contemplate leaving this place immedi ately alter the close of the College exercises, 1 will, with your permission, name to-morrow as! the day on which it will best suit tuy conveni ence to meet my friends. 1 beg you to tender my sincere acknowledge ments to those whom you represent, ami to he as sured ol the very great respect, with which I am, I A our obedient servant, GEO: MeDUFFIR. j On \\ ednesday, the Till inst. about 200 gentle- ■ men set down to a dinner prepared by Mr. Brown, j Much hilarity and good feeling graced the festive j board, at which Maj. John Moore, of Lexington, presided, assisted by Judge Clayton, Judge; .Strong, and David \\ itt.cr.q. ns Vice Presidents. ’ Alter the cloth was removed, the following re- j gular toasts, prepared for the occasion, with vo- j lunteers, were drunk with unbounded applause, j REGULAR toasts. 3. Tin: Union.—A *' compact between sovereign j states,” lor specific objects. The surest guarantee ot its perpetuity, ,s a rigid adherence to the terms of the charter. 2 Tug Bill op 81000 : The bayonet and the sword may enforce the decrees of arbitrary power over slaves, but can never prevail against the free, born citizens of the South. 3. South-Caboi I.n a : The force bill intended' for her is 1 kely io operate upon Georgia. She has magnanimously declared, that whether against her or Georgia, she is ready to march against its tyran ny either upon the plains of Charleston or the moun tains of Cherokee. 4. Georgia: She will never be found recreant in defence ol those great principles of state rights by which her sovereignty has been hitherto prest-n eil the uttacks at federal Usurpation. 5. State Sovereignty : Indivisible and inaliena ble : The exercise of its prerogatives may be dele gated but can never be surrendered. ti. The Hon. GEORGE McDUFFIE our dis tinguished guest: His unbending integrity his cease less vigilance over southern interests, his untiring opposition to unequal laws and unconstitutional mea sures, and his triumphant vindication of Stale Rights, entitle him to the respect and gratitude of the South, and a hc art-wa.-.i welcome to hi* native state. After the cheering plaudits with which this toast was received, had subsided, Mr. McDuffie rose and addressed the company in ‘thoughts that breathed and words that burned,’ ami in strains of fervid eloquence—his topics were state sove reignty , the unhallowed oppressions of the ma jority of Congress against the South and the Bill ol Blood. In the course of his remarks he ad verted to his being a native of Georgia, in thril ling and pathetic terms. “ When I remember, (said he, in something like these words) that in the hour when South-Carolina contended alone, for those great principles upon which the liberty of the south and the existence of the confederacy depend, when all seemed dark aad desponding around her, the first cheering voice which she heard, was from this state, and perhaps from the very gentlemen who are now present. It is with overwhelming feelings of pride and joy that I exclaim “ this is my own, my native land.” But adequate justice cannot lie done to his re marks in this brief notice. At the earnest r - quest of the committee, Mr. M’Dufiie has consent ed to furnish a copy of them for publication. In conclusion, Mr. Mel), gave the following senti ment, viz: Georgia and Cauolina—united in interest, may tufty no 1i.0.,...... deajjuY. IFliom God hath joined together, let not man prert a,under. 7- State Rights and State Remedies : The genuine doctrines of ’9B, the doctrines of the Re publicans and the doctrines of liberty- They tri umphed then and will triumph now. 8. State Interposition . If a single state with a divided population, unaided by her southern sis ters, and with the North and West in opposition, could compel the advocates of protection to aban don their purpose, what would not the dectrine accomplish, if sustained front the Potomac to the Mississippi. 9. The memory of Thomas Jefferson ; Tite A postlo of Liberty', the fearless asserter of tbe doc trine of Nullification. 10. George Washington ■■ A name hallowed by every honest American ; but lately used for the worst of purposes. 11. The memory of Randolph and Turnbull : In their lamented deaths. State Rights received a severe blow, but there is an inspiration in the contemplation of departed worth, that often sup plies the place of living action. We have lost their exertions, but we retain their example. 12. Virginia.- The best beloved and honored of the southern sisterhood, who proud as they ever have been to emulate her noble virtues, still fond ly and anxiously look to her in the present hour of comntcn peril for an example worthy of her former history and glory. 13. Tne Southern Stales —indissolubly united by a common interest, and destined to a common fate. Whatever assails the safety, honor or wel fare of either, should be at once, promptly and eagerly resisted by all. VOLUNTEERS. By Maj.
