SHE Milledgcville, Nov. 13, 1533. of persons friendly to State having been called, by notice in the - ■‘■ties of this place, a numerous assembly igflened this evening at 7 o’clock, in the Re formative Chamber, ofthe State House. Hn motion of Mr. Gordon of Putnam, the mftrable Christopher B. Strong was called to the Chair. The Chairman having taken the Chair, on motion of Mr. Ilillhouse, Mr. Sayre was appointed Secretary ; and on motion of Gen. Beall, Mr. Longstreet was appo;p,' (e( | assistant Secretary. The Chairman stated the object of the mee ting :—whereupon on motion of the Hon. A. S. Clayton, Resolved, That a Committee of thirteen be appointed by the Chairman to prepare resolu tions expressing the sentiments of the State lights Party, in this State, and report to this meeting during its sitting. The following gentlemen were appeiuted the Coriimittee: Hon. A. S. Clayton, Hon. William H. Crawford, Dr. Wm C. Danirll, Col. Jones, Mr, Habersham, Mr. Hillhouse, Col. Rockwell, Mr. Chappell, Mr. Young, Gen. Beall, Col. New ton, General Warron, and Hon. Charles Dougherty. The Committee retired, and having returned, reported through their Chairman the following Preamble and Resolutions: The relations between the Federal and state Governments have assumed a peculiar and in tense interest by reasons of the events which agitated the whole South, and had produced just complaints against the General Govern ment, were brought to a close with its last ses sion ; but they were succeeded and doubtless for the special purpose of subserving at some future period, the very principles they were compelled to abandon ;by the enactment efa law equally objectionable and certainly more dangerous to the liberties of the people than ■ their former oppressions ; and which, if permit ted to endure, will ultimately perpetuate the usurpations which it was professed to be re nounced. It is not difficult to perceive that allusion is here made to the proclamation ofthe President of In? United States, and the Force Bill which was its legitimate consequence. • he first document instantly revived the doc trines of the Federn lists of’6B, which had been put down by Mr. Jefferson, at the head of the Republicans ; and now, parties are forming every where and particularly in our own State, for the avowed purpose of supporting the prin ciples ofthe Proclamation and Force Bill; and thereby insidiously restoring to the Federal Party, tho power which they lost under the cider Adams. To this end they {have’changed their name to one which is designed to play upon popular feeling, and by the force of prejudice alone, they are aiming to rc establish principles which the good sense of the people absolutely rejected in ISOT, as tending to the destruc'ion of the Union, and rearing upon its loins a coh solidutcd government. These facts have just ly alarmed thefriendsol liberty.in every quarter; and ihose Republicans who still adhere to the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, the groat moral instruments by which Mr. Jefferson ef fected the overthrow of the Federalists, are ral lying to the defence of the Constitution of the United States, from North to South, by counter associations designed to reorganise ‘he old Republican party, and to check immediately, the growth of the doctrines ol the Proclamation, which must inevitably lead to consolidation, il not successfully resisted. The object of the present meeting is, first to constitute and from one of those Associations for the express pur pose of counteracting the designs of tho I edcr. al party, lately reorganised in this state, who under false colors are inculcating the doctrines of John Adams in ’6B, and thosq of Daniel Webster at the present time; and secondly, for the further object of enforcing a systematic op. position to the Proclamation and Force Bill. These last measures have aimed a deadly blow at Slate Rights, and seem now to require the united and concentrated energies of the friends and advocates of those rights to be directed to this point of attack, deemed so important by our enemies to be carried, and in which, if success should crown their exertions, all that is dear and valuable to freedom, will be wrested from the states. That it may be distinctly understood what are the ptionciples of this Association, it will b e necossary to shew what are the doctrines of the Proclamation, and these me asserted in lan. guage which admits of no dispute. Its. It maintains that the States of which this confederacy is composed, never had a separate existanco ; for that, from the moment they cas sed to be dependent on Great Britain, they fo med one nation, and have so continued. 2d. That a state in the exercise of its legi timate pow. rs has not the right to decide upon the constitutionality of an act of Congress, and to protect its citizens fiom the operation of an unconstitutional act, and to maintain within her limits the authorities rights, and liberties apper taining to a sovreign state. 3d. That the States have no right to secede from the union under any circumstances what ever; inasmuch as secession would destroy TIIE UNITY OF THE NATION. 4th. That the people of the twenty four states constitute one people. sth. That the members ol Congress “are all representatives of the United States; not rep resentatives oj the particular state from which they c me,” and that they are not “accountable for any act done in the performance of tlisir le gislative Junctions.” 6th. That the status have “not retained their entire sovft-eigrity.” 7th. That the allegiance of oar citizens is due to the United States in the first instance,” and not to their respective states. These are the doctrines of the proclamation and they have at the special instance of the President produced the Force Bill for their complete execution. This meeting both so lemnly protests against them, and as solemnly denies their legitimate deduction from the com pact which established the Fedarai Government; and that the Associatton now formed will resist them in every proper manner. To this end they Resolve , That the pre sent meeting be organised into an Association, to be denominated “THE STATE RIGHTS PARTY OF GEORGIA,” and recommend meetings in all the counties for the purpose of constituting similar associations to* be connec ted with tfiat which will be formed at Alilledgc ville as the Central Association. Resolved , That the doctrines of the Virginia and Ke;-, lucky Resolutions as construed and understood by Mr. Jefferson and triumphantly peted upon in 1825, ’6, end ’7, in the State of Georgia constitntethe creed ofthe State Rights’ Party of Georgia; and that all unconstitutional laws are null and void, we will, whenever the proper exigency arises, resist them in any man ner the sovereign power of the state may order and ditect. Resolved, That We consider the‘Force Bill as a glaring infraction of State Rights, and a gross outrage upon the liberties of the people; and that its continuance upon the statute book is such an act of usurpation as ought not to be submitted to by flee and independent states; and that we w ill use our exertions to counteract the proclamation and to obtain- a repeal of said bills. Resolved, That our Senators and Represen tatives in Congress be and they arc hereby earnestly requested to demand an immediate repeal ol the act ofthe last Congress denomin. ated the Force Bill as being a palpahla violation of the rights of the Stater, and the Federal Constitution. Which having been read a motion was made to postpone further action that they might be printed and taken up at a subsequent meeting. Which motion was by a vote of the meeting, negatived; and on motion .of Jndge Clynton, it was. Resolved, That the rpert be taken up and read bv paragraphs. The report having been read on motion of Judge Clayton it was unanimously. Resolaed, That said Preamble and Rcsolu. tions he adopted and agreed to. On motion of Judge Dougherty, Resolved, That the Editors ofthe State Right papers in this State be requested to publish The foregoing Preamble and Resolutions accom paned by the Virginia and Kentucky Resolu tions; and that a copy of the same be transmit ted to each of our Senators and Ilepresentta tives in Congress. On'motion of Mr. Totrance, Resolved, That the Chairman of this mcetiii” appoint a Committee of thirteen, to be styled the Central Committee of the State Rights Associations of Geotgia to correspond with such Associates in support of State Rights as have been or may be organized in the several counties of Georgia. On motion of Judge Clayton, Resolved, I hit as means of extending anion” the people nn accurate know ledge cf our pritjT j ciples ibis meeting will patronize Hte uauer led the “Examiner,” published by Condv R.J 1 1 in the city of Philadelphia; and recommend to all (lie Associations that may be formed in tk. soveral countios to do tho same.

Goodman’s Mills by fire, and the murder of the Mill-Right, is incorrect. -:2eae:- Wc learn by a letter from Milledgeville, that on the 16th inst about one o’clock, the State House was disco vered to be on fire. The Legislature had just sdjourneii for dinner. The fire had communicated to the top of the building, about midway between the offica chimneys of the Secretary of Stale and Surveyor General But the zeal and daring of several gentlemen present, succeeded in arresting the progress of the (lames, without very nu terial injury to the building. —-2R2£ ■— Cor. Troup. —lt is \\ ith painful emotions that we leim from the papers, the resignation oftltis statesman, of his seat in the Senate of the United States. We are uot ret made acquainted with his reasons for so doing— surely they must be of the most urgent and imperitive character, to have induced him to desert us at such a time, when hi* services were so much needed. It looks to us like tho surrender by tho pilot, of his helm to the malign spirits of the ocean, when a moment more would have enabled thj good sliip, with her trusty and weatherbeaten helmsman, to have doubled the fearful breakers which had Solan"’ and obstinately threatened her political desruetion. L such a time, all eyes were turned on him, whose unerring ken had so long foreseen these dangers, and all, al? friends and foes, expected to see Troup at his pot; and what dire necessity should at this time force him to W draw his services, wo are at a loss to divine. —:2£2£.— IVo published on the meeting of tho Legislature, ils dcr the head of‘-Calamitous Accidents.” the election of Jacob Wood, to the Presidential chair ofthe Senate, and it will be perceived by an extract which we publish to day. that the hint thrown out in relation to the exaltation oft azoo speculators, was not ill-timed. But wc had hoped that here the diabolical spirit which actuated our Legislature, would have spent itself in this immortal tf fol-t to.vince their spleen towards all mankind. Dill no, it seems our relentless persceutors are bent on Wood; and scarcely had wc recovered from the shock that the recital of such a catastrophe would necessarily produce, than ire are again stunned by the thunderbolt as it leaped from die forge of misguided legislation, -and mfirtued us (hat the party in power, headed by the Superintendent ofthe TV orkshop, were busily engaged in running the unknown metallic composites of what was once considered, ahrarm image, and called Thomas Haynes, in * the nioSWs of Treasurer of the State !!| W o were furnished by the mails, with the result of the meeting of our friends in Milledgcville, on the 13th ir,il. and we publish the same to day, and call the attention of our readers to it. Our political sky has for a longtimr, looked dark and lowering, and has wor’ii an aspect that torboded no good to republican principles. Many of then who were onco with us, have been frightened by the erics ou. enemies bad rejjfcd, when their ow n oppressions bad called into practical operation, tho use of those nirans.it was our boast to claim, as constitutional rights, Tbfso our former friends, in avoiding what their fears had tai;- gcrated into a frightful “Scylla,” have steered their barks towards the more delusive -Charybdis,” and with the de luded optics ofthe gamester, they can now see them selves without remorse, in the federal ranks, when beta short lime ago, the deep rooted principles cf republican education, would have shrunk with horror from the m sanctificd contact. We are glad to see that an effort is making to break the spell-bound infatuation, and recall those whose motives may yet he pure, to a just sense of the value of their ancestorial legacy, and to con vincc them that they are on the enemy’s ground, and vrarrinj against their own best interests. —• Ig.TR:- Extract from Go r.

There prejudices generally do but little harm, it always being in the power of those enjoying superior advantages, bj a suavityofmanner and humility ofdcportment,toweoothoae who would otherwise have been incited against them, from their bitter feelings.
