Virginia Resolution* of 1798- Pronouncing the alien and sedition laics to be unconstitutional, and defining the rights cf the l totes. Drawn by Mr. Madison. In the Virginia House of Delegates, Friday, December 21 1798. Resolved, That the General Assembly of Virginia, doth unequivocally express a firm 1 resolution to maintain and defend the Consti tution of the Un'ted States, and the constitu tion of this State, against every aggression either foreign or domestic; and tlmt they will support the Government of the Un'ted States in all measures, warranted by the former. That this assembly most solemnly declares, a warm attachment to the union of the States, to maintain which it pledges its powers; and, that for this end, it is their duty to watchover and oppose every inf'action of those princi ples which constitute the only basis of that Union, because a faithful observance of them, can alone secure its existence and the pub lic happiness. Tnat this Assembly doth explicitly and per emptorily declare, That it views the powers el the Federal Government, as resulting from the comnact, to which the States are parlies, as limited by the plain sense and intentiun ol the instrument constituting that compact, as no farther valid than they are authorized by the grants enumerated in that compact; and that in case of deliberate; palpable and dangerous ex ercise cf other powers, not granted by the said compact, the States, who are parties thereto, have the right, and are in duty bound, to interpose, f. r arresting the progress of the evil, and for maintaining within their respec tive limits, the authorities, rights, and liberties appertaining to them. That the General Assembly doth also express its deep regret, that this spirit has in sundry instances, been manifested by the Federal Government to enlarge its powers by forced constructions of the constitutional charter which defines them;and, that indications have appeared of a design to expound cettain gen eral phrases (which having been copied from the very limited grant of poworß in the lorinet articles of cjnfedertion were t!-.e less liable to hn misconstruedjLsi) as to destroy the rnean i ligand effect, nft lie particular enuuraratispa, wjTObfcnerqflsariaihr explains, and limits*v£k I date degrees, into one sovereignty, the, obvious“'(er dency and incvciable reeuLof which would be, the preshql repTOicAII t>JHem oil Stifthe, into? an nb-olute, or at best, a mixed monarchy.^ That ihcGencral Asseinbtyrlmtl particularly protest against the palpable, and alarming in fractions of the constitution, in the two late cases of the “Alien ahd Sedition acts.” passed at the last session of congress; the first of which exercises a power no where delegated to the- Federal Government, and which by uniting legislative and judicial powers to those of executive, subverts tne general prin ciples of free government, as well us the par ticular organization and positive provisions of the federal constitution; and the other of w hich acts, exercises in like manner, a pow er not delegated by tho Constitution, but on the contrary, expressly and positively forbid lon by’ono of the amendments thereto a power, which more than any other, ought to produce univer.-al alarm, b ciuso it is lev ell d against the right of freely examining public charactors and measures, and of free communication among the pcoplo thereon, which has ever been justly deemed the only efll ctual guardian ot overy other right. That this State having by its convention, wbwh ratified the Federal Constitution, ex pressly declared, that among other essential rights, “tho liberty of conscience and t e press cannot be cancelled, abridged, restrain ed, or modified by any authority ol tiio United (States,” and from its extremo anxiety to guard these rights from every possible attack of sophistry and ambition, having with other Staler, recommended on amendment for that purpose, which amendment was, in due time, annexed to the constitution, it would mark a reproachful inconsistency, and criminal degen eracy, if an indifference were now shown to the most palpable violation of one of the rights thus declared and secured ; and to the estab lishment of a precedent which may be fatal to the other. That the good pet pie of this commonwealth, having ever felt, and continuing to feel the most sincere affection for their brethren of the other States ; tho truest anxiety for establish ing and perpetuating the union of all; and the most scrupulous fidelity to that constitution, which is tho pledge of mutual friendship, and the instrument of mutual happiness; the Gen eral Assembly doth solemnly appeal to the like dispositions in the other Slates, in confi dence, that they will concur with the common wealth, in declaring, as it docs hereby declare, that the acts aforesaid, are unconstitutional; and that the necessary and proper measures will b&tnken by each for co operating wißf this State, in maintaining unimpaired the au thorities, rights, and liberties, reserved to the States respectively, or to the people. That tlie governor be desired to transmit a copy of the loregoing resolutions to the exec utive authority of each of the other States, with a request, that the same may bo commu nicated to the legislature thereof; and that a copy be furnished to each of the Senators and Representatives representing this State in the Congress of the United States. Attest, JOHN STEWART. 1798, December 24. h. Agreed to by the Sen ate. H. BROOKE. A true copy from the original deposited in the office of the General Assembly. JOHN STEWART, Keeper of Rolls.

ET Seefirst page- ET Editorial is almost entirely excluded from this days issue, to make room for several documents, which will be found valuable lor future reference. To Correspondent*. We beg many of out numerous cerret-pon denta to indulge us fora brief time. Recent illness and pressing engagements have pre ventid our attention to many favors as yet. To Advertisers. We would takr occasion to suggest to ad vertisers, that although this is a dull season for business, it is a favorable time to adver tise. he papers for a few months will be more extensively circulated, than when the canvass is over. We are now issueing over four thousand and two hundred copies, and, at the present rate of increase, the list will soon reach five thousand. New Subscriber*. We beg many of those who itave been so kind as to subscribe for the Republic, within a few days past, to excuse us not for sending them the last number. We had made a lib eral allowance for accessions to the list—but it was so much greater than we anticipated that we could not supply all. As in this and the next number, we shall publish most of the leading documents, le’ters, resolutions, < of importance in connection ■w ith the great questions of the we l stride ofT of and will then be able to meet We teilfty; our grateful acknowledgements all been w> Ktc&nuwards us. Ail humble follower W*Xpollo Some pretender to wit, (whose brows, if examined, would bo found encircled with withered bay leaves ,) in the Chronicle ol the 9th instant, addressed the Senior Editor of this paper, ever the signature of “G.”— He calls us to tntk, because of the publica tion of a sentence from a letter addressed to us by a citizen of Elbert, in which it was stated by he writer that he does not “ know a sin gle Whig who intends to vote f >r Mr. Cobb.” The letter was very brief, and one of busi ness. The writer had probably not met with a Whig who said lie would vote for Mr. Cobb and probably intended so to express him seif. “ G” says, “ now, Mr. Smythe, it is gen erally thought that you are a very rash man, and somewhat of a greenhorn withal, and af ter this, every body will swear to it.” The writer of “G” goes on then, as he says, lor our benefit, to give us some ac count of a society in Eiberton called the Tugmutton Family. “G” published his letter, no doubt, to get upon the ladder of fame'. We extract from it as follows to aid him in that higli-souled pur pose. He said: “ I will give you their names, as I have rcason’to believe 1 know them all. There is Obadinii Tugmutton, senior, the father, Mrs. Jrrusha Tugmutton, tho mother—then they have sons, to wit . Obadiah.jr, Timothy and and Jonathan—and daughters, Miss Jemima, Miss Nancy and numerous grand children Now, these area curious iamily. T ney are strong believers in tho doctrine of “ manifest destiny,” and have taken up the idea that their manifest destiny is to be the plague and torment of green-horns like yourself. Why, sir, since you have swallowed that letter from “ an intelligent and very, responsible gentle man," you will get a bucket from these Tug muttons once a week lor at least the balance of vour life, for it must be that your “ in telligent and very responsible” correspondent is none other titan the veritable Obkdiah him self, or it may be Miss Nancy. I could scarcely tell you in a week of all the singular practices of these Tugmuttons. They pub lish a pnper called the “ Night Hawk,” a strong Constitutional Union paper, in which strict and impartial justice is done to all evil doers and the rest of munk'nd. You will be reported in their next issue to be sick of their simples. They are strong Union men too. They celebrated the 4th of July to day in their own peculiar nay. They had a horseback procession, dressed in their Sun day clothes—with beautiful red, blue, black, and yellow stripes down their legs. The whole fomily were out, except old Mrs. Je rusha, who it was said, is rather poorly, but is not considered dangerous. Both the girls were out, and the amiable Miss Nancy car ried in her own fair hands a beautiful banner with the name of “Cobb” inscribed thereon in large letters. A word in your year, Mr. Smythe, She is accused of rather falling in love with Mr. Cobb three years ago, when he was round here electioneering for Con gress, though he being a married man, she would die before she would own it. I am a subscriber at:d constant reader of the “ Night Hawk” and will send you my next number. I wonder you don’t exchange with it. It would give give you some valuable hints as to the best method of conducting a political journal.” If the above should establish “ G’s” char acter, as a veritable wil, it will show that one may be both a wit and a greenhorn, for we take it, that no one but a greenhorn, of tbe Constitutional Union Party, would voluntari iy declare to the world that these Tugmut tons published a Constitutional Union paper !! That, however, is not ail surprising, such a paper would be more compatible with the views of the Tugmuttons, than a Southern Rights paper would be. “G” i 9 welcome to the aid of tbe Tugmutton sheet. In his admira tion of it, if he is not checked, he may be so great a greenhorn as to dub all the Consti tutional Union papers of the State, tee Tcg ktttton Press of Georgia ! But “ G” should be more cautious in charg ing other people wi h being “ crazy” as he does us, when he actually makes Mr. Cob! the object of the lenderest affections of Mis Nancy Tugmutton !!! Mr. Cobb ly, for some time, been under some singula influence ! That love case of Miss Nancy’ ought lobe enquired into! It may be tha ' Mr. Cobb is under a Tugmuttos spell !! Let his malady be what it may, we believ the people will cure it by administering J£ him a nauseating dise in October. We now call upon all the Tugmuttons to go as speedily as possible to catch “ G” as ttt falls from the ladder of fame, feet upwards and his hair streaming over bis upturned eye#, to the mud from which he aspired to asceoit. “G’s” ‘‘dear Mr. Smythe,”did not know that l he extract from the Elbert letter had been placed in the hands of of toe compositor, he saw it in the Republic. The letter was left upon the editorial table, and that extract was made by another, under the supposition that it was to be used. Mr. Smythe regrettad the next day that it had been Inserted, was done without his knowledge or advise ment. If any one,therefore, should write the “buck et letters” to Mr. 8., to which “ G” refers, fie will jbe as great a greenhorn as “G” hiqt ' self, and a fool besides. ♦ 1— Soulliern ltight* Congrussioujfl Convention. The Southern Rights Congressional C<ji 1 vet.lion will hold its session, this day, at the 1 City llall. We learn that it will meet at *f2 o’clock M. a <4 [COMMUNICATED J Minerva, Houston County, July sth, ’it. Messrs. Editors :—The lion. Howell Cobb ■ appeared before the sovereigns of this Co., fin the 3d, cheered by a large audience,at least one third Southern High’s men. He commenced in a of generalities, mostly conTTrcjed with the slavery question, res< lution'from a Convention of Demo- I setting forth the faith not a vqininal norl intervwation, and leavitig the decis%i, whether slaved should or should not be a part of their State organization to the territories, whenever they made a proper appli cation for admission as a State; p.aced the re sponsibility of his course on the Compromise measures upon his constituents, affirming tmt, from the obvious meaning of the above resolu tion, he considered himself as'instructed, «vs dsntly forgetting that he gave to Gen. Ca»s’ letter a meaning which produced the resolu tion above referred to, as passed by the Demo cratic parly, and which meaning was disavow al by Gen. and his non-intervention repu diated by the Democratic party. He having deceived them, they were honorably releyed from any ob'igation to continue in the advoca cy of a measure, which was hostile not only to iheir best interest, but was the very reverse of what they had fondly and confidently be lieved i> to he. He stated that the opposition of the North to slavery was no greater now than it was at the formation of the Government; gave briefly the history of the slavery agita tion ; pronounced the Compromise, wise, lib eral and just; that the South had no cause ol complaint; that her position upon the rctirt! at Washing'on was infinitely bstter thanTra.iT ! been for thirty years, and that for the first time in the histo-y of this Government, since the Missouri Compromise, had tlmt grand and glo rious principle been asserted contrary to the principle of that Compromise, so vital to the South, and So triumphantly sustained in the bill for the adjustment of the Texas boundary , that the portion of Texas North of 36, 30 was relieved of the “ incubus ” that appertained to it anterior to that adjustment; approved fully and cordiall" every measure, even tc the abo lition of the slave trade in the D.strict of Co lumbia; that <t was uothing mire than the passage of a law ot Maryland, in the District, —the only State that had nny right to complain. He then reverted to the Fugitive Slave Law— the North declaring to the South, that if she framed any law, however stringent in its pro visions, that the North would pass it ; ttial it had encountered expected opposition, but had been triumphantly sustained, even in Massa chusetts, and though violently assailed sonn alter its passage, the Northern penp'e wereae quiescing, and that opposition to it was becom ing rapidly diminished; that he hod not chang ed a solitary principle, and" would not, even to the crossing of i I or the dotting of an i, and informed a Southern Rights Democrat that he wished to be supported purely upon Demo cratic principles. Upon the right of secession, he was non-committal ; placed the responsibil ity upon the peopl • —“ that wherever Georgia planted Her standard, thar he would be found,” but modestly intimated that the Government had amply provided means for enforcing the laws ; that the “ South should not deceive it self by the belief that our Northern brethren were all cowards—they were as brave a peo ple as ti ed the earth.” (Here I wished an op portunity of reading from the history of the Mexican War.) He alluded to the charge of being a traitor, and made quite a pathetic de fence—bringing his past ac's to the vindica tion of his good name, against an aspersion so foul; that if a traitor, he had been rendered so by the strictest fidelity to the sentiments and interests of his constituents; that if ht vo ted for the Oregon Bill, that those who now complained had repeatedly re-elected him; and as to the charge of putting abolitionists and freesoilers upon Committees, he justified himself, that as Speaker of the House of Rep resentatives of the United States Congress, he had t.) organize those Committees, and not sim ply as a member of Congress from Georgia. He then fell behind the “Masked Battery,” at d poured forth a tremendous volley of fourth of July sentiments upon the virtues and wis dom of our “ Revolutionary sires”—their dy ing exhortations to preserve the Union ; that unless the Georgia Platform is sustained, (and himself forty degrees under it,) that this Union will be rent asunder,and the “ blooming, nros perous, sunny South drenched in fraternal blood that the adoption of the Georgia Plat form has added the most beautiful flower to tnat chaplet of “ orieut pearls” that so grace fully entwines the brow of the Empire Stale of the South ; in nil political agitation of a sec tional charac er, it would prove to Georgia “ a cloud by day, and a pillar of fire by night.” He-converted, in two hours, three of the Con stitutional Union men to Southern Rights, and his friends neither invited nor were willing for us to be heard, as Mr. Cobb would tax their patience to do himself and the great issues justice. He apologised to those who beard him last fall for the sameness of his speeches —evidently giving on all occasions the stere otyped edition, and not possessing genius enough to break their monotony, either by bursts of eloquence or the pungency of his wit. (For the Republic.) Tour “Georgia Whig” Corres pondent. Messrs. Editors : —The communication published in your paper of Tuesday morning Bth inst., detailing the revelations of a “Yan k e Book Pedler,” against the Mechanics’ Convention, and the comments of the writer against Mechanics, Yankees and Union men, may not be considered important enough to 1 merit notice fr >m others. If such writers, as “a Georgia Whig,” de sire to make an issue with the principles ad i vanced by the Georgia Convention of Me i chanics, let them net mingle with it abase ol the Yankees and the Union party of the state. 1 Let every tub stand on its own bottom. No ■ Yankee, or Northern man, or Eastern man, or Western man, had any thing to do with the call of the Mechanics convention at .Atlanta. „ .What I write here I know.\U was suggest* d by a&KHhern man, and the larger portion of the convection were Georgians and an overwhel ming majority of mechanics present were Soulh-'rn men. A Southern man was Presi dent of the convention, and a Southern man drew up and presented the report which was adopted. There was not a sentiment uttered in the Convention, nor can a line be found in their preamble and resolutions, which an intelligent and honest Southern man can ob ject to. The action of that convention, can pass, unscathed, through the most fiery ordeal, and w II find supporters clustering around it wherever its policy may be discussed. “Its „ trust was well founded, and it fears no dan ger.” The taunts or reproaches of no man can ' injure or de:er the progress of the Mechanics in Georgia. Vipers may cease ; they have fi.es to chaw. A DELEGATE. Good Dividend*. The Board of Directors of the Augusta Insurance &. Banking Company have declar ed a Divideud of Five Dollars per share out ot (he profits of the past six months, payable on demand. The Iran Steamboat Company has also de clared a Dividend of Five per cent. Nomination.—Hon. Junius Iltllyer was nominated by the District Convention which met in Jefferson on Tuesday last, as the Can didate cf the Constitutional Union Party fur Congress in the 6th district. Muscogee and Stewart.— Burwell K.

Wilkes County.—Lucius J. Gartrell and James 11. Willis, Esqrs., are the candidates of the Southern Rights party, in Wilkes county, for the 10-'er house of the next Leg islature. Judge Baiksdale is tha candidate for Senator in the Senatorial District of Wilkes & Lincoln. A Poser.—A calm, blue eyed, self posess ed young lady, in a village down cast, re ceived a long call the other day from a pry ingold spinster, who, alter prolonging her stay beyond even her own conception of the young lady’s endurance, came to the main question which had brought her thither. -I . V rve„JiS£fl SSlilsdJI good niviy times if you Was engaged to Dr. C- . Now, if folks inquire again whether you be or not, wliut shall I tell ’em I think ?“ “ Tell them,” answered the yonng lady, fixing her calm blue eyes in unblushing steadiness upon the inquisitive features of her interrogator, *. tell them you think you don’t know, and you are sure it is none of your business.” Two-Sided Paper —The Hamilton coun ty (Ind ) Register if edited by a Whig ard a Democrat, each of whom stands up for his own peculiar political faith. Tne salutatory address says : Every Democrat should take it, because it is a Democratic pap-r, every Whig should take it because it is a Whig paper. It will contain facts and arguments tor and against the doctrines and doings of both political par ties,” &c. At the examination of a school, a reverend gentleman was a-king a class the meaning of words. They answered very well until he gave “ backbiter.” This ser m*>d te be a puz zler. It went down the class till it came to a little urchin who looken sheepishly knowing, and said “ it may be a flea.” Fig ns or the Times.—The Eask Tennessee and Georgia Railroad was opened a few days since from Dalton to Cleveland, thirty miles towards Knoxville. T. e event was cele brated by a large concourse of people, and the gallant old Governor of Tennessee, Gen. Trousdale, accompanied the first train to Cleveland. A Ploomerity in a Shower.—The Boston Gazette speaks of witnessing the effect of sev eral sharp showers upon the new costume. The Turkish trousers lost their gracoful con tour, and flipped reund the pedestals of the wearers like a wet banner round a flag staff, while the tunic was deprived of its stiffness- The fair Bloomer was in a most awkward position, and reminded the Gazette of a seriously indisposed ‘hen, who had been caught some way from her roost in a thun der storm. Execution of the Cosden Murderers Governor Lowe, of Maryland, has fixed on the first Fridav in August as the day for the execution, at Charlestown, ofTaylor, Shelton and Murphy, the parties convicted of the mur der of the Cosden family, in Kent county, in March last. A Startling Tragedy. —On Monday n : ght last a difficulty occured in this place bet ween Philip Goode and William Cloud, which resulted in the death of the latter. Cl >ud re ceived two balls, one in the breast—the oth er in the back. He died within two hours from the infliction of the wounds. Melan choly to tell, he has left a family of seven children, the youngest only being a boy. We understand Goode left during the night of the occurrence.—Edgefield Adver. 18th. Fire on the Cars.—About one o’clock his morning, as on- of the workmen em ployed in the baggage car of the Express Passenger Train Irom Augusta, was attemp ting to fill a fluid lamp while lighted, an ex plosion took place, burning the man very severely and setting fire to baggage. The train was stopped as soon as possible and the fire extinguished before it had time to cause any very material damage.—Atlanta Intel. 10th. MARRIED, On Wednesday evening, 9tb inst., by Rev.
