ANTI-DUELLING.
. At a meeting of a number of ihe citi
zens held at the Representative Hall in
Milledgeville, on Monday evening In-t,
for the purpose of forming a Society for
the suppression of Duelling; the Hon.
Thomas Stocks was called to the Chair,
and A. Hull, Esq. was appointed Sccr’y.
The following gentlemen were appoin
ted a committee to prepare and report a
constitution for the Society, viz.—Col.
Rockwell, Rev. Mr. Sherwood, Mr. Cam
nk Dr. Harl nw, Cen. Keatherston. Col.
.l ines, Dr. Boykin. General Mitchell, I)r.
Drown and Mr. Hud.
The meeting then adjourned until Tues
day eyeing at 7 o'clock
Tuesday Evening. 7 o'clock'.
The meeting convened pursuant to ad
jouinment. Col. Rockwell from the com
mittee appointed to draft and report a con
stitution, <sv. reported a preamble and
constitution for the gnvei nment of tire So
ciety, which was read, and for the present
ordered to lie on the table.
On motion of Col Rockwell, the follow
ing resolution was unanimou-ly Adopted:
Resolved, That his Excellency the Go
vernor-be respectfully invited to lake up
on himself the Presidency of this Society
and that a committee be appointed to wait
uoon him and procure his assent, and no
tify him of the time and place of the next
meeting.
The Chairman appointed on this com
mittee, Messrs. Hudson, Harlow, Kulb,
Rockwell and Boykin.
Toe following Report accompanied the
draft of the constitution.
. The committee who were appointed to
prepare and report a const lotion for the!
government of the Society, have perform
ed that ilutv.
They regret that upon a subject of so
much importance as that committed to
th'jpir charge, they have had so little light-
It is their belief, however, than when the
constitution herewith submitted shall have
been revised by the Society, it will an-i
awer every purpose of carrying into ef
fect the laudable objects of the institution. I
It will be perceived that the committee
have contemplated the establishment of
Societies auxiliary to this, in the different
counties of the State; the utility of which
your committee cannot suppose will be
doubted. And they earnestly hope that;
the view 6l of the member sos this Society
may not be disappointed—but that their!
objects will diffuse themselves through the
State ami produce a commensurate influ
ence, that will give a tone to public opin
ion and banish this bloody custom from
our State.
Experience has taught us that municip
ol regulations are inadequate to reclaim
the evils of duelling there alrea
dy exist too many fatal examples of the
futility of civil enactments, to need any j
argument to enforce a conviction of its
truth. To strike at the root of the evil, it
is necessary’that a united effort should he
mado to give such a tone to public opinion
on the subject, as will frown down the i
practice and render it odious to be engag
ed in a duel—when this desirable object ’
shall be attained, then and not until then,
will the practice cease. There is no plan,
in the view of your committee, so effective
as the one suggested, of erecting auxiliary ;
Societies in every part of the State for its
suppression. The members of these So*
cieties wifi feel themselves particularly
called upon tube active in the good cause
—-Those of them who minister at the holy
altar, will make it the theme of their dis
course, and the denunciations of the Pul
pit will not be heard with indifference, or
made in vain—. Those also oho conduct
Public Presses will exclude frotn their co
lumns notices of ‘affairs of honor’, and
then while we inculcate the noblest sen- j
timents of the Romans, which decreed a
crown to him who should save the life of a
fallen citizen, we shall teach the lawless
among us to respect the majesty of public
opinion.

•It may be a matter of some interest to
know the result of the election in Louis- !
•aha—Jackson has obtained another vic
tory at New Orleans. He has a majority
ofBG votes in the city, and as far as heard
from in other parts of the State, he is a
bout 1100 ahead, there is no doubt but lie
will get Louisiana by a majority of 1500
to 2000.
In this state he will get ten to one—
and I think of 64 western votes, he will
get CL’ * .
GEORGIA cj-SOUTH CAROLINA.
The following important rommunica
tion has been transmitted to the Logida
ture by the Governor:
Executive Drpirtmrnt. 1
Nirvember 14, 18 38. J
By an art of the General Assembly
of the £ftfli December, 1823. entitled
‘An art to ratify the proposed convert
tion between the States of South Ca
Polina and Georgia, relative to the
Savannah and Tugalo rivers,* it is
provided that the convention shall he
obligatory, and not be altered with
out the consent of both states, as soon
as South Carolina should pass an art;
adopting it. An act has been passed j
in South Carolina, ratifying the rqn* j
vention, on the condition, that the;
consent of Congress should be first ob
tained. Having learned from a Mes
sage of Governor Taylor of South
Carolina, that an application to Con
gress had h p en proposed jn the win
ter of 1826, but not made because the
delegation from Georgia would*no.t u
nite with the delegation from South*
Carolina, 1 instructed, at the last Ses
sion. our members to unite in an ap*
plication for that purpose. The de
legation from South Carolina, hav
ing no instructions in 1827, declined
acting.
I should have considered it my du
ty to renetv those instructions the en
suing session of Congress, hut for in
formation just received from the Gv- i
ernor of South Carolina. On that in-j
formation, I deem it proper to make,
no attempt to procure, a ratification
of the convention, unless it should be
required by the General Assembly,
from a belief that it cannot now he
desired by’ South Carolina to have
the convention ratified, and that if it
was, it would he unwise on oui part
to fetter ourselves by its obligations,
as South Carolina has on foot a pro
ject which will prevent any expepdi*
ture of money on the most, important
part of the Savannah River, that be
low Augusta.
All the papers relative to the sub
ject are herewith laid before you.
One remark is suggested by facts de
veloped by them, and known from
other sources. A project is in the
course of execution to divert, by a
rail road from Hamburg to Charles
ton; the whole trade of this State (a
hove Augusta) from Savannah to
Charleston. The right of South Ca
rolina to improve all its resources,
and to draw from a neighbouring
state a portion of its trade, is not de
nied, nor the exercise of that right a |
cause of just complaint* hut in this,
scheme S. Carolina is to have the ben-1
efit of the Engineers of the United I
States, the skill and science under j
i the command of the Union, and the j
money of the General Government,!
our money, is to be used for. the pur-!
pose of aiding in the execution ot a
scheme which, if successful, will seri- .
ously injure, if not destroy our most
flourishing seaport. It. is in vain that
the constitution of the United States
prohibits a prVference to he given by
any regulation of commerce nr reve
nue to the ports of one State, over
those of another, if the r sources of j
the Union can he directly applied to
anj’ extent for the benefit of Charles
ton, to the ruin of Savannah.
That the project to divert the com
merce of Georgia from the port .of
Georgia, is visionary; that nature has
already indicati and the channel through
which that commerce must pass, and
ihrtt the effort now making to coun
teract the decree of Proridrnrc will
fail, | am perfectly satisfied: hut it is
not on this account the less our diPy
jto mark this if parturc from the
I path of the constitution, this
led or disregard of a plain corwtitii*!
tioual inhibition.
JOHN FORSYTH.
From the New- York Advocate.
Mr. M onr >f. — lt appears by an ad
dress which the citizens of Albemarle
(Vwvj hav£ made to the public, ‘hat ttve
final blow has been struck upon the pi o
pertyol Air. Monroe, and that in conse
quence, houseless and pennyless, he has
left that n- ighborhood and we suppose the
sure, We hate for some time under
stood that this result was inevitable, and
that lu> would be obliged to leave a place
which has been his residence for fifty
yens. It is not therefore improbable
that he has or may become a resident ot
New York, where also resides one ot his
daughters, married to Samuel L. Gover
nor, Esq. The neighbors of Monroe in
Albemarle, evince a generous fneudslup
and sympathy tor .their venerable friend,
and huve not seen without efforts to arrest
it, the calamity which has separated Mr.
Monroe from them. They have made a
strong appeal to the citizens ot that sec
tion, as well as our country generally,
accompanied with hfinute and interesting
facts, showing the pecuniary sacrifice*
made by Mr. Monroe, during half a centu
ry of public service at home and abroad.
It is yet the object and the hope of the
citizens of Albeuiade, that Legislative
aid will be extended in a case fraught
with so much personal hardship, not m
the way ol a grant or pension, but as a re
in jney.it ion for losses actually sustained
by Mr. Monroe, while in the public em
ploy. Os the validity ofj these claims up
on the Government, or iu relation to them
in any wise, we are not prepared to say
any thing, other than that it must be the
wish of every gene.ous heart, to see them
examined promptly! and interpreted
most liberally and kindly. Venerating as
we do all that devoted race ot revolution
ary patriot*, of whom Mr. Monroe is a
mong the last, we are anxious that ainul
| the general prosperity and the universal
happiness dttt'u-ed by their labors, their
last days should be their best d-ys. As
New-Yoi kers too, cannot but be affec
ted with th£ spectacle of an aged patriot
pcaving,Jus native, and beloved state, and
coming uniting us for bread. ‘An oid man
“broken with, the storms of Slate , has
come to lay his bones among you!*
