IXG.
Agreeably to notice, the Citizens of
Richmond County assembled at the City
Hall, in this city on Saturday last, “for
tbe purpose ofadopliug such Resolutions
as the present crisis inay appear to de
mand.” The Meeting was organized by
calling Gen. Valentine Walker, to the*
Chair, and appointing James M.Laws,Esq
Secretary. The object of the meeting
was announced by reading the public no
tice, which had been circulating for 8 or
D> days in the County. On motion of
Col. Wm. Gumming, it was resolved that
the usual appointment of a Committee to
draft resolutions, &c. be dispensed with,
and the meeting be declared ready to re
ceive any Resolutions, which gentlemen
might have in readiness. No others being
ottered, Col. Gumming, after some appro
priatepreliminary remarks. proceeded to
tcad the following Preamble and Resolu
tions, which it will be seen, were ndopted,
by the meeting hy a great majority.

The People of Richmond County are
willing to expiess the views they entertain
on the subject which so much Bgitates the
public mind, but in doing so, they will for
bear to use language calculated to wqpnd
the feelings of others, or in anywise to
ascribe improper motives to those, who
may difler from themselves in opinion--—
Those who have declared their determin
ation to recist the constituted authorities^
of the General Government (the tendency
of which we fear might lead to civil war in
,4hese States) may and no doubt do think
themselves justified in the coarse they
prescribe for themselves. Whilst on the
otlior hand, we who differ from tbem,have
a right to expect that our opinions also,

Both sides cannot be right. But it should
be considered that we are all afloat in the
same vessel of State, upon a tempestuous
ocean, and if it sinks, the right and the
wrong must go down together.

be just cause of dissatisfaction arising
from the operation of the tariff tegulations.

i
or like so many other human contrivan
ces must be sacrificed to the blindness and
madness of passion. The deliberations of
this day inconsiderable in thcmselves.bor-
row a solemn interest from their connex
ion, however sliuVit, with the general re
sult. In the discussion of questions which
may affect tl»e very existence of the Re
public, we shall endeavor .nt least to make
some approach towards that purity of feel
ing which distinguished its illustrious
founders. YVe invoked the spirit of that
Patriot Hero, that Saint ofLiberty, whose
name excites in every virtuous bosom a
veneration almost religious—of that YY’ash-
ington, who led our armies to victory and
guided our councils to harmony and Uni
on—who has left us in his parting advice
a sacred legacy ot paternal wisdom second
only to the teachings of inspiration itself.
That our Resolutions will obtain the
approbation of nil, we cannot expect; but
from all we may justly claim, that they be
received in the samo spirit in which they
are adopted—in a temper uninfluenced by
rcsentmeut either towards individuals or
parties. If we know ourselves, all miner
considerations are on this occasion entire
ly lost in the deepest solicitude for the in
stitutions, the peace and the happiness of
bur couutry.
Resolved, That, although the Tariff law,
recently enacted, is a decided ameliora
tion of the system, wc still believe that it
will be unequal iuits operation,and there
fore unjust and inconsistent with the spi
rit of the Constitution,which demands that
alt public burdens should be equitably ap
portioned amongst those by whom they
are borne.
Resolved, That we will employ all pro
per means to free ourselves from the an
ticipaieii evils of the ptespective tariff, but
that wo think they have been greatly exag
gerated; Sc that some of the remedies pro
posed would bcfarmoreihdctorious than
the Tariff itself.
Resolved. That considering the doctrine
of nullification false in theory, and belicv
iog that in practice it would prove most
disastrous to our country, wc will not give
our votes to any Candidates, either for
Congress, or the State Legislarurc, who
are advocates of that doctrine.
Resolved, That a Committee of three be
appointed to ascertain by direct correspon
dence with the Candidates for Congress,
and for th* !’**»?!*!•! re fro::: this Lsus-
ty, what arc their sentiments iu regard to
Nudificalluti, nnd to publish such ntnwcis
as may be received.
Resolved, That urc disapprove the re
commendation of the meeting at Alliens,
to appoint Delegates to a .Slate Conven
tion, which sli ail be invested with **full
powers to maintain, preserve and defend
the rights and privileges of thtftee Citizens
of this State;" that the delegation ofa
power so broad and unrestrained would,
at any time, be indiscreet, and at a mo
ment of cxcitcnicut like the present, ex
ceedingly dangerous.
Resolved, That it is advisable, for the
present, to leave the subject of the Tariff
to the State Legislature, which can de
liberately provide, or recommend, some
prudeut and definite mode of expressing
the public will, should such a measure be
deemed expedient. But that if the gen
eral prevalence of a contrary opinion
should render it proper for ut to concur
in the election of Delegates, to the pro
posed Convention, we shall make the ap
pointment with a piotcst against, the au
thority of any acts of. that Convention,
which are not duly ratified by the people
io their respective counties.
Resolved, That we have seen, with ex
treme regret, the hasty and tinfouodefjob'
jeetiona which have been urged against
oot Senator nod Representative, Messrs.
Forsyth and YVaync, and that those gen
tlemen retain onr entire confidence In
their patriotism, ability, and seal
- Resolved, That we respectfully recom
mend to our fellow-citizens, generally,
who coincide with of in opinion, prompt
ly to adopt measures, corresponding with
out own, in their respective counties,
whether they find themselves in a majori
ty, or a minority.
Resolved, That a Committee of three,
to wit:—
be appointed foe the purpose of cantina
be made with safety,we entertain no doubts,
judging of the future by the past, but that
it will be done at the eusuing Sessions of
Congress. The friends of the Tariff hav
ing offered us a compromise, we declare
ourselves willing to accept it as such.with
the same spirit in which it is offered (at
least lor the present) looking forward with
hope and confidence to a better state of
things, when the national debt is paid and
the agitation of the present times shall
have subsided. In the mean time, we ear
nestly recommend to our fellow-citizens,
in other counties, to remain calm and
tranquil, forbearing to engage in any
schemes connectcdwith the causeojf Nul
lification or otheT intemperate measures,
calculated to provoke projects of retalia
tion iu others, without tne hope of beuefit
to ourselves. Be it therefore,
Rtsolved, By the people of Richmond
County, that wc consider the Constitution
of the United States, as the Great Char
ter of our Rights and our liberties,and the
lavvs^f the laud entitled to oar obedience
and respect.
Resolved, That it be earnestly recofn*
mended to our Delegation nt the next ses
sion of Congress, to tise their bfc« exer
tions to diminish the Duties t > Imports,
or if this should be found impracticable,
to exempt articles of first necessity from
the burden of taxation, and place the samo
upon the luxuries of life, that it may be
made to full upou the rich, who are beat
able tu bear it. «
Resolved, That we consider tho scheme
of Nullification (and all m.easur^* connec
ted wjth it) which are calculated to inval
idate or to bring into disrepute the Consti
tution and laws of onr country, as greatly
to be deprecnled
Resolved, That the course pursued by
onr Senator, John Forsyth, and ofour Re
presentative, James M. YVayne, are justly
entitled to our approbation and respect.
Resolved, That we deem it highly Inex
pedient to appoint Delegates to tbs propo
sed Convention nt Milledgeville in No
vember next, as recommended at the late
raeetiugs in Athens and Lexington—Be
cause we do not think it proper at this or
nt any other time, to confide dictatorial
powers to any iet of men whatsoever.—
Because the high authority which is
sought to be given to the said Convention,
belonging exclusively to the people, ought
net to be delegated hy :kcs tv ta« c»i«ui
and for the purposes* contemplated—Be
cause in fine we think it unsafe and dan-
geious at a time like the present, to pros
trate the ••hole authority ol the country
at the feet of a few individuals, liable to
be inflamed by their own passion* and bv
the feelings of others.—Men, who possi
bly may be carried forward by a temper
and disposition little calculated for sato
deliberaiion, and who are not even to be
restrained by the wholesome check of a
final reference of their proceedings for the
approval or disapprobation of the people.
The General, in his remarks in favor of
these nnd iu opposition to those, compli
mented the Xullifiers as embracing some
of the first men in Georgia, in talents and
standing—had near relations nnd friends,
who thought io that way and could not
think of proscribing.them for their politi
cal opinions. He was, he said, os much
opposed to the doctrine of tfullification as
any bo^y, bnt could not concur in adopt
ing acourre of such scrutiny into men's
political opinions as Col. Cummtog’s res*
olntionsContemplated—Said ho would
vote sooner for a mao who would refuse to
respond to such a call, than one who o-
beyed it—woold have greater confidence
io his integrity, &c. , Jle contended, that
the detcrminatittifcof’the meeting to sup
port none for office who avowed Nullifica
tion* as tolerant,ungenerous 6s was throw
ing a fire-brand into Society—setting fa
ther against son. See. The General ob
jected farther that he could not debtor*,
that he believed iheTarfff unconstitution
al and took a retrospective view of its his
tory, with the view of shewing tbit it bad
iu origin with the government—that the
policy was (breed by Southern Politicians
on the Northern States—that they wero
made to abandon the Ocean, and go to
the loom and shuttle; approved the Tar^
