Every one conversant whli the principle: upon which this Government was founded, i: acquainted with the fact, that at the time o its formation, the people of the thirteen States then constituting the old Confederation, were divided into two great parties; the one desi rous of establishing a single strong console dated government, bordering upon monarchy which would have reduced the States to the rank of mere counties or corporations—tl* other advocating a government upon the principles of federation, which, whilst they would have left unimpaired the sovereignty of the States, would have conferred upon the general agency the management of the foreign relations of the whole, and of such internal concerns as might be denied in a constitution of limited powers. In this diversity of views originated the great contest for principle, which first commenced in the Convention o| ’37, which was renewed in ’93, and which re sulted, upon both occasions, in the triumph of the friends of State Rights, and wliich is jiow again about to be renewed, with the cer tainty of success, if the American people are resolved not to live and die slaves. The revolution in the character and attri butes of the Central Government at Wash ington, accomplished by the persona! popu larity of Andrew Jackson, through his Pro clamation of the 10th of December last has no parallel in history- The sword of a vic torious general lias often laid low the liberties of a people who had hot intelligence to citable them to understand their rights, or who wan ted courage to defend them: but no example' had yet been furnished of a large majority of die inliabitaats'of a country, boasting of its freedom, voting by acclamation to place a sword in the hands of a military chieftain, ■whose election, when no sword was in view, eva3 opposed by lens of thousands of these same people, upon the very ground of his proneness to the exercise of despotic power. By the usurping act known by the title of the •“Military Force Bill,” Jackson’s revolution was consummated. What before was sustain ed by the mere ephemeral voice of popular assemblies, assumed by that step a legal form, and was recorded amongst our statutes. But is it not an act passed in violation of the Con stitution? Does it not break down the bar riers which can alone protect the liberties of the people, and sweep away every vestige of those rights referred to in that article of the federal compact which declares that “ the powers not delegated to the United Slates by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the -States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the People ?” Every true friend of State liights must ansircr in the affirmative. Shall it, then, be submitted to without remon strance } Is the republican por'y of the pre sent day prepared, to yield without a strug gle, the glorious inheritance bequeathed bv them to their fathcis. and to sec the govern ment which, hut for their patriotic firmness, would, long ere this, have been a hideous a ristoeracy, administered in all future lime upon the very tlicoiy of those whose doctrines they have always held in detestation when not professed by traitors of their own party? We trust & it. But where is the remedy ? By w lial means tan a counter-revolution he effected? llow shall the democracy of the countr, be awak ened from the death-like sleep into wliich their honest and confiding hearts, trusting to faithless leaders, lind incautiously fallen ? At the South, thank heaven, the press is still free ; and the spirit of ’9B, which has been slumbering ertn there is fast reviving. But here at the North-, not a Column is open to tho free discussion of questions upon which our free institutions depend ; and the lovers of li. berty arc as destitute of the means of promul gating their sentiments, as if the freedom of the press, was inhibited by tho Constitution. Khali then,their aspirations fbr tho happiness of their country he stifled? Shall the South he driven to the belief that no kindred minds exist north es the Potomac, and that no hopes of escape from tyranny and despotism are left, but in secession from the Union? God forbid! We love the South too dearly to sec her break the connection which has so long happily bound us together; and if we have not at this day the means of publishing a dai ly paper, around which to rally the faithful, we can at least give vent to our opinions, un til a more propitious season, through the hum ble channel now presented. We do most honestly and firmly believe, that, in the reserv ed rights of the States abides the only safety for the liberties of the people, and the only guarantee for the perpetuity of the Union— ami we think we shall bo able to make this appear, in the progress of our publication, to every man who will approach the subject free from the influence of picjudico and devotion to party. In commencing n publication ttpon the humble plan here offered, we have adopted the means best calculated, in our opinion, to pro mote the end. The indifference to political discussions, where principles, and not men, where wholesome truths, not loaves and fish es, are the topics, is so great, that few are wil ling to pay for being instructed in their rights; and lienee it is, that nothing but a very cheap, and consequently small publication, could have any chance of a wide circulation in those quarters which it is most desirable to reach. Small, however, as this sheet is, it will con stitute in the year a volume of 400 pagrs ; and will contain, in a form adapted for preser vation, as much matter, upon a few particu lar branches of knowledge, as any individual would probably wish to read. With these introductory remarks, it remains fur us only to say, that this journal will be a true exponent of the views pf the Republi can party when it looked to principles, and not men, for its guidance. A liberal support to such a paper may possibly lay tiic founda tion for such a change of public opinion at the North as cannot he effected through any existing means; and in the confident expec tation of such supjiort, the publication has been commenced without the previous issu ing of a prospectus, under the pledge of its continuance for a year at least, upon the terms which will be found in the prospectus. Should it meet with a favorable reception from the gentlemen at the South, who have transmitted their names from the proposed tri-wcckly Ex aminer, and from any considerable proportion °f tile former subscribers to tlie Manner id the Constitution, it could at once be introdu ced, by a very little effort on their part, into an extent of circulation that would render it not only efficient but permanent . We there fore solicit their aid on the occasion, as the only means of preventing the rytlinguishiw id °f the |a,t spark of the fire of genuine liber •)', now glimmering in this benighted region- If lla re pub!*'*' -- ::t the Nurth canned GEORGIA TIMES, AND STATE RIGHTS’ ADVOCATE. he rallied upon republica’n grounds before an other year, it will be vain to hope for it at any future period ; and a short time will see tile chains of consolidation inextricably rive ted upon us, and the South placed in tile atti tude of a choice of submission to a goeern mentof unlimited powers, ora irar of separa tion. ' In addressing these remarks to the “ Friends of State Rights and State Remedies,” we in tend to include all who believe in the doctrine of State Interposition, whether they hold the creed of the Virginia or the Kentucky Reso lutions. The time for trying men's souls has again arrived, and patriots must not be fright cncd at nicknames. The enemies of equal rights are constantly at work with epithets, for want of arguments. By the captivating term “ American System,” they attempted to cheat the people of tlicr property ; and now, by branding with the appellation “ Nullificr,” some of the purest and most honorable citi zene of the land, they hope to cheat the peo ple of their liberty. Inbappily, a large por tion of tile lepublioans have been caught in the snare, and are now to be found, whilst professing a reverence for the name of Jeffer son, most clamorously denouncing his princi ples. “Our ambition is, to live under equal laws.” IV.'SDOJI, JUSTICE, MODERATION. A*D STATE RIGHT’S ADVOCATE. AIILLEDGEVILLE, AUC. 21, 1833. FOR GOVERN'D R. JOEL CRAWFORD. Inequality of Representation. This subject has already employed abler pons than our own. It is with a certain degree of diffi dence, therefore, that we feel ourselves intruding on the ground,already traversed and explored by the master minds of morefexpcrienced politicians. The vast importance of the subject, however, in duces us to cast the feeble glimmering of our ta per, on its darkness, conscious that if it will not enlighten, at least it will not add to its gloom. In discussing this branch of the argument in op position to the ratification of the proposed amend ment to the constitution, the expedients of the rhetorician, are powerless to produce conviction ; Syllogistic reasoning is of no avail. It is purely a question of figures— to he solved by arithmeti cal calculations alone. However artfully the sophist may array his propositions, and deduce his conclusions, in the consideration of other sub jects—arguments of this kind are beyond bis in genuity to pervert. Figures cannot lie. We would barely advert to the fact in the outset, that the late convention were not only called to re duce the number of members in our Legislature, but to equalize the representation, and give every free citizen of Georgia his proper influence in our domestic cOUticils. If we make it appear, then that they have failed to discharge their duty in this particular, that they have reduced the number of members in such a way as absolutely to disfranchise a certain portion of their consti tuents, that they have entirely swept away the slight influence which they possess under our present system, and virtually declared the inter ests of a certain portion of our population, the mere Austin the balance, w hile for others they have enhanced their weight in the scale of pow er, and that 100, w ithout a solitary substantial reason, we certainly think wc shall show <he ma jority of that convention to have abused the trust reposed in them, and therefore to be unworthy the favor of an enlightened people. The suc cess of the proposed amendment is avowedly based upon the ignorance of those to whom it is submitted for approval: For no politician, how ever depraved he might he, would have the bare faced impudence to propose a method of repre sentation to a people, who knew it to be unequal and unjust. We think wc know the citizens of Georgia better, than to believe that they will vol untarily approach the altar on which they are to be immolated by the insidious and corrupt ambi tion of their faithless leaders —We have said that the proposed plan of representation is unequal— Let us see how our proposition is borne out by the unerring test of arithmetic. The first class of counties till) contain a free white population of 119,189 persons. They are to elect 45 mem bers and 15 senators, which is one representalive (we do not mean a member of the Lower House) in the general sense of the word for every 1,98 C free white persons ; that is to say on joint ballot every vote from the first class of counties repre sents that number of persons. The second class of counties (95) contain a population of 110,581 free white persons, less than the 15 counties con stituting the Ist class, by 2,G05, & yet they will elect 50 members and “25 senators, llut the most beautiful feature of this proposed equality re mains to be exhibited. Although the people of this second class of counties, in a minority by 2,005, elect 25 more members than the first class, they (the upper counties) are absolutely cheated into the belief that their weight in the Legisla ture is greater tiian it actually is. On joint bal lot each vote from the first class represents 1,910 persons, while each voter from the 2d class re presents 1,553 persons ; whereas by an equal ra tio of representation it ought to represent 2,979 persons. The 3d class of counties (38) exclu sive of jhe new counties, with a population“ol 71 002, will elect 28 representatives and 38 sen ators ; each vote therefore on joint ballot, will represent 973 persons. That is to say 973 per sons from those counties composing the 3J class, will have an equal influence with 1553 persons residing in those counties comprised in the 2d class, and 1986 persons residing in those coun ties constituting the Ist class. To reduce the computation still lower, 1 man from a county included in the third class, is equal, aye more limn equal to two men from a county embraced ill the Ist class. This t* said to be equaliza tion •I ! Hall tb< people »*»« *»* cUo * of counties by this iniquitous system] of represen tation are, to all intents and purposes, discharged -from troubling themselves any longer about the business of Legislation. We have heretofore been speaking of the pop ulation of the State. Wc now turn our attention to the voters exclusively. How stands this boas ted equality in reference to their interests—Why truly, 0 voters from Gwinnett are to be permit ted the same weight in the Legislature, as 1 Vo ter from Appling, 5 voters from the counties of Hall, Habersham, and Monroe, are to be consid eredequivalen iu|their political influence to 1 vo ter from the comities of Bryan, Effingham and Glynn. That is to say, the several counties of Bryan, Appling, Effingham and Glynn, are gifted with the exercise of five times the weight olthe greatest counties in the State. Wchavolhus conclusively proven by the aid of a science whose certainty is not to be disputed, that one half of the white population of one portion of the State are by the projected ratio of representation total ly excluded from its proper influence in the coun cils of the State ; that the existing inequality of the representation will be most iniquiiously in creased, and that the interests of one portion of our citizens, have been most infamously bartered away, for the acquisition of political importance to another. Yet with these facts staring the peo" pie in the face, they are asked to ratify the pro ceedings of a convention, that were called to gether to reduce and equalize the representation in the Legislature. MASQUERADE. It has been suggested to us by a friend, that the communication in the last Federal Union signed ‘One of the People’ carrries with it internal evidence of being a scintilla from the “ Mighty W orkshop ” itself! As his Excellency has alrea dy assured the people that every thing done there is done under his immediate supcrintendance.” We may reasonably infer that said production was also submitted to his rcrisingeye. It should have been signed (every one will see with what appropriateness from tho piece itself). One of th efethle auxiliaries” ! Tliere is one thing how ever, In regard to the ‘ Workshop ’ which wc think should be a subject for the attention of the next Legislature. If in addition to the arduous - duties already devolving on those whose misfor tune it is to assist his Excellency, the task of writing him into office, is to become one of the most important of their avocations reason and justice a.eii«and that some compensation should be given. We would suggest therefore, that the salary of such labourer should be increased, sufficient at leat t to make it an object to be on the right side of (1,0 argument. It may not yet have slipped from tb “■ memory of some, which side he advocated not 2 .years ago. The following extract of .a letter to the Editor of this paper removes our dout ts as to the suc cess of the State Rights’ Part/, in Hancock county. We feared that misrepresentation had been but too successful there in alV*nating the affections of the people from those doctrines it was their glory to have beon called on to sustain by their arms against Federal oppression. TNe county to which Troup once looked for efficient and to repel the insolent approach of the minions of Federal power will hardly prove recreant to the same cause now. “The Stale Rights’ Ticket will succeed with us. Wc have oneor two Clark candidates, Fed eralists, Consolidationisls, Supreme Court and Missionary men, in fact any thing but State Rights’ men. Tim goon , u -rSg n 3ncwU have been basely betrayed by one of the kithnna kin, in times gone by, and I trust will never give another Judas an opportunity of betraying them. We, on Island Creek, do not believe in such Cattle.” * French Indemnity. JFe understand from good authority, (sn}’s the Pennsylvanian.) that no difficulties will arise be tween the United States and France, in relation to the fulfilment of the recent treaty of indemni ty for claims. Avery friendly understanding exists between both governments on the subject. Notwithstanding the complexion of the recent de bates in the French Chamber of Deputies, the •nbinctof Louis Philippe have the fullest confi dence in the appropriation being passed as soon as certain documents are received from thisenun try. The delay created by unforeseen contingencies in the payment of the money, amounting to Jive millions, will not affect, in the remotest degree, the interest of the claimants. London Jokes. —The following are two of'the latest: A Place for an M. P.—The number of the low er order who have obtained seals in the present parliament is ridiculed by an advertisement in an Irish paper, which, under tho head of “a footntan wanted,” adds “if he happen to be a Member of Parliament, and can write franks, it will be an addi. tional recommendation." March of Knowledge.—One of the well instruc ted of the present generation was ascribing the hur ricane of Monday and Tuesday to the Equinox. “ Why.” said a listener, “ that cannot be, for itjs not near the equinoctial period.” “It is not so far off,” rejoined the naturalist, “ for next Friday is the longest day.” “Concede to the f fates the right to nullify, and how long would it be before the Constitutional powers of tiie General Government would be com. pletcly prostrated”’—Non foi.ii Herald. from the Richmond lf r hig. Since 1798 there have been Various instan ces of nullification By individual Slates. Vir ginia, in that year, unquestionably exercised it. The act of protecting the General As scmlt'y from the penalties of the scrlifion law, was as much nullification as the laic proccctlings in South Carolina. Her conduct was then applauded by a majority of the U nion. ’The example was consecrated by the Revolution of 1801. Did it tend to destroy or to weaken the constitutional powers of (he Government ? Has it encouraged a resort to the rcrnctly in improper cases? No such ef fect followed, anti the anticipation of such consequences is cither preleffiled, in order to alarm the people inlo an abandonment of their oh! principles, or, as in the ease of the j IleralJ, is the result, as we hmnl.lv conceive, I of a slight examination of the Constitution, I and the principle* of human nature, upon I which,, and not upon parchment, the Union depends for perrflanency. No State will nullify < xccpt in extremities. Why 1 Be- cause it is plainly her interest to remain in the Union, if it he imssible so to remain, and protect the rights and liberties of her people. To nullify a law, is to draw ujton her the in dignation of the majority which passed that law. It is to incur the hazard of separation and the probable danger of t car from that same majority. Is it rational to contend that a State will lightly incur these conse quences 1 Is it not obvious, (hat she will first long and patiently suffer, and postpone action until it has become apparent to her judgment that relict is hopeless, and that the evils of Union counterbalance its benefits ? Man is alleged to be a rational animal,and in speculating on his probable course of action, we are bound to presume that it will be found ed oil reason and not on folly. What would the Herald do, supposing tilings had reached the extremity imagined? Would the editor bear the oppression? Would he not be con sent to be enslaved? No—lie indignantly re plies. Fray then, Sir, what would you do, to tree yourself of intolerable oppression and unconstitutional legislation ? Wc warrant be will answer, as all the Unionists jnir ex cellence, answer : 1 would, he would sav, fight, t would appeal to the right of Revolu tion. This, we say, is always the response of those Union patriots, who, will by no means allow a nullifier to be a friend of the Union ! Union ! and seek to fix hostility to the Union upon those who would preserve it by other means than they em ploy. When things come to such an extremilv —and every man vetsed in the history of his species, knows that to such extremity they Have come, under every form of Government, and will one day come under this—why should gentlemen insist upon the right of battle and of revolution? Can nullification be worse titan these?—May it not be pacific and also effective, as in the cases of Virginia and South Carolina? If it prove otherwise, wc can but fight at last ; and the only differ ence between the nnllificrs and their oppo nents is, that they will try before they resort to a revolution of force—a remedy strictly pacific in its character, and which, on two great occasions, has proved both peaceable and sovereign. Politeness of the Press in the West. —A Ken tucky paper thus speaks to and of -a contempora ry and neighbor : “Is he w aiting for an excuse to call us to the field ? IFe can furnish him with none whatever, further than to pronounce him, as we do most sincerely, and with an especial re gard to the meaning of our words, a drunkard, a liar, a puppy, and a most redemptionless scoun drel.” A Pedestrian, who has undertaken to walk two thousand miles in Todays, ami to subsist the w hole of that period on bread and water, gave a lecture at the hall of the City Hotel a few evenings since, and undertook to demon strate the benefits of exercise and temperance. ’Fite task the gentlemen has attempted is a very easy one ; and when he shall have footed 2,000 miles, and subsisted on bread and wa ter, lie will find that he has not accomplished a miracle. In the year 18(7, wc subsisted 96 days on sweet .potatoes, and the very bad water of the city of Charleston. S. C. and in the course of that time,in all probability walk ed 2,500 miles. We were not only well, but exceedingly healthy and robust; and do not believe that we were ever happier than at the time in question.— Prov. Jour. A Mr. McDonald Clarke advertises in a .Providence paper, to give lectures on “lane ai. and Matrimony.’! Tickets 50 cents. There can he no topic more interesting—and un doubtedly the hall will he crowded. Espe ciallv if the lecturer is the eccentric author of the Elixir of Moonshine as we presume he ts. Edit oarer. Wickedness. —The Editor of the United Stales Gazette after alluding to the appointment of Amos Kendall to regulate the Blink . deposit.’?, adds the following atro cious but significant remark : “AVe learn that the Banking house in this City is fire-proof." — Rich.

An eastern editor in taking leave of his patrons, remarks that lie ha3 labored, he lias watched, and he lias prayed; for tho good cause in which lie embarked, and if lie should continue his editorial connexion much longer, it is probable that he should al so l’astr Important Law Decision —A question was decided by the Supreme Court, at its late sitting, which subjects the personal projrerty of Banks to taxation by city or village cor porations. The Assessors of the village of Canandaigua having assessed and coll acted $ tax upon 8310,220 of the personal pro perly of the Ontario Bank, a suit was brought by the bank to recover back the a niount from the Trustees. ’Flic question (says the Albany Evening Journal) was ar gued by B.

On the subject of the London and Birming ham Railway, a very elaborate estimate has been laid before Parliament by Mr. liccount, of the road and canal traffic, for one year, be tween London and Birmingham, Ate.

Outrage upon the Press. Some two or three weeks since, a circu lar denying some statements made in a stump speech, by a Lawrcnceburg, (Indi ana) candidate lor Congress, was handed to the editor ot the Indiana Statesman, for publication. After a number of hand bills had been issued, John F. Lane, an of ficer of the United States Army, entered the printing office, and asked if the editor intended to publish the circular in the pa per, and being answered in the affirmative, Mr. I ,anc then inquired for the form which contained the Circular. It was shown him by some person in the office, when he knocked the types in rt, scattered them over the tloor, and walked delibe rately out of the office ! The editors in Indiana arc justly out raged at this attack on the press. The fellow should lie immediately suspended from office, and prosecuted in the bargain. Phil, (lazf 3d. in*!. MA Itltltli'l).

His mind was calm in view of the near approach of death ; his confidence in the Saviour unsha ken, and he expired in the fall triumph of faith.
