Slate Rights, heiti at tf«-- United Stntcs I
Hotel in Augusta, on t!ie evening of the j
4th December, 1633. Col. Win. 'i'. Gould |
was calied to the ('hair,and N. W. I’ocke, ,
Esq. was ajviuinU’.i Secretary, in cx- J
jdanation oi the ohject of the meeting, j
N» VV, Cocke, Esq. submitted the lbilow- j
ing resolution:
Resolved, That a Committee of 5 be 1
appointed by the chair, to t ike into con
sideration the proceedings of the late
meeting of “ The State Rights* Party,’" in
.Miill .. 'V, and to report thereon to
the j. ..eeting: which being adop
ted, *N . Cocke, Esq. Maj. F. C. Heard,
! r. I>. I'.uterson, Maj. G. li, Marshall A:
Maj. (ieo. »V. Crawford, were selected by
; •• chair, to compose that committee. —
The ■ on uiii'c ■ liuv'-ng ;--tired for a *o-tii
nine, i u n ■ ...i.i otic red to the meeting
tie oi. oviug leportand resolutions, both
-.- were into". mmidy adopted.
The .iwpoet ot poiilical uflitiis in our
country, is such as to demand ihe serious
<•■ nsideri'i mi of every friend to rational
lihf-rtv. After aia j)-e o! more than thtr
tv vonr.*. we nnd.tbeG- -ii:u <1 ijou romefit
again fatally hent uppn the tv< stablisl:-j
menl of principles which, it triumphant,
must forever blast tuo loudest liojies ol
the patriot and phiianihropist. ihe te
locl ritij so days, virt ly,
if not openly sustained, by many, who I
once pro'vssi'd to be their decided oppu-i
nents, are now taking root in ti:e higl j»1 r.-1
cos of power, with a depth and to an «-\-j
tent, dangerous to the Cnion, and liie lib-j
erfies of the People. .Man worship has j
gained the asoe ui.tncv of principle, and
usurpation has triumphed over die Consti
tution and the Laws. U-der these cir
cumstances, we hail wi h jay the recent
meeting of the friends.o! Slate Rights in
Aliiiedgovilie, as calculated to produce in
the Republican r inks, harmony in coun
sel, and concert in action, and to aid in
ultimately restoring the Constitution of our
country to its former purity, and the coun
try itself to union and peace.
.He it therefore resolved, That the exposi
tion of the principles of the Republican
party as set forth in the Preamble and Re
solutions of the State Rights meeting,
held in Milledgcville, on the 13th Xov
1833, meets our decideu and cordial ap
probation.
Resolved, That we will not cease to ex
ert all honorable means for the advance
ment of those principles, until our Govern
ment is restored to that, healthful action,
from which it has so widely departed.
Ml strived. That we will forthwith elect
four Delegates to represent this meeting
in the State Rights Convention to assem
ble in Milledgeville on the 12tii inst.
On motion of 11. Mealing, Esq.
Resolve I, That a Committee of three
be appointed by the Chair, to nominate
four Delegates to represent this meeting
in accordance with the above resolution :
whereupon, Henry Mealing, Holland Mc-
Tyrc and Judge Wilde, were appointed
that Committee; which Committee, after
a few minutes consultation, nominated R.
H. Warren, E. A. Ilolt, X 7. \V. Cocke &
E. L Tarver, J r. and on motion the meet
ing agreed thereto.
On motion of Mr. Wm. M. Martin, it
was
Resolved, That the Examiner and Jour
nal of Political Economy, edited b Goo
dy Rag-let, in Philadelphia, is worthy the
patronage of the friends of State Rights.
On motion, the meeting then adjourned.

Wo never supposed that the tribute

be grateful to the Forsyth and Wavne

to suppose that they would vent their

Solemnly and liri-p y p-netr ited with this

factious opposition to the laws, and of claim
ing by construction, powers not granted in
Ine ompuct which formed tiic Union of tue
Stan s. \A'« siioiiid receive them as liie ad
monitions of wisdom, of experience and
truth.
The great objects in forming the Union
were protection against foreign aggression,
ami the regulation of our intercourse with
foreign nations. W ith lew exceptions, ali
Ihe other rights of independent government
were reserved to the fit ales.
The Constitution has secured, w ith the ut
most caution to the istat s, tiic riffiri to man
age their internal concerns, and the preser
vation of th-.-t ugh! lias ever been deemed, as
it undoubtedly is, indispensabie lo the liiHtlv
and security of the people. *•{ recollect,” says
Mr. JeC rson, “m> case wii-.-ro a-question

The power to regtilato the conduct of our
citizens, in their irifttcou.-se wdb each oth
t r, to make l«us fur the gov.-rmoerit of their
|>ersons,ami for the protection ami security of
their lives,liberty properly amlreputation.have
never bi-evi conceded, to tbe general gov-ni
im at, bui were reserved to the States or io
the people.
Those constitute she essential feature of
date sovereignty and independence, ro jeal
ously (uurded when the Constitution was
formed, and any attempt to intorfeie with
them, beyond a fe-.v spcclfinl exceptions,
shouid be regarded as an encroachment of
dangerous tendency and subversive- ot tTn;
ends and purposes of our free institutions.
Take these powers fw**n inn States, and the
rignt oi trial by jury, that inestimable heri
tage ol freedom, tint invincible safe-guard
of human liberty, would soon become an in
convenient and a useless institution.
In '.lie recent controversy w ith the Exccu.
tive of tbe United States, I felt myself con
strained to defend the rig! ts and to maintain
the principles to which I have adverted, by
the high an ! solemn obligations of effi''; tl
duty; aid the r: l! cfo.i, th.it, as yet, tli;.*.
