(jl KVKMA LEijriSi/-rv IN SENATE, November, J. Mr. Chappell laid on the table* the following preamble and resolutions : Whereas the people of Georgia, are firmly - devoted to the Constitution ot the United States and to that union of the States which it has or dained, and are ever ready to yield a cheerful obediency to the Federal authorities when act , ...... . . ... . AnJ whereas they are firmly devoted to the reserved rights of the States, sn.i regard the j faithful observance of the constitutional boun-! dary between those reserved rights, and the <3e- j legated powers of the General Government, ns •tssentiai to the successful working of our Fed eral system, and to the realization of the bles sings contemplated by our Federal Union : And whereas the practical observance of this four. J ary can no otherwise be ensured or en- • forced, t an by tire existence of a right in tire | several States to check, resist and repel acts of i the General Government transcending the limits I of its delegated powers : And whereas the right of a State thus to in- 1 terpo.-c its sovereign authority against Federal 1 usurpations within its limits, has been strongly : denounced and denied by the President of the j United State- in his proclamation, of the tenth j day of De, ember last, and in the same Procln- • nation, and also in the Act of the Congress of! the United States, passed on the second ray of! March last, entitled “ An Act, further to pro-1 vide for the collection of duties on imports,'’! the measures of a State adopted by its consti ! tutO’i authorities in the exercise of this right are ! confounded, and put on tire sama footing wit!’ ‘ nets of resistance to the Federal laws hv nw r unauthorised individuals or bodies of tnuiv.du als, and in said Act, provision is tirade to thwart one! detent a State in her action on this rig.*, by confer tog normous discretionary pow ers on the Federal executive; —by vesting the Fe deral Judiciary with original Jurisdiction of eases not contemplated by the constitution a- Federal cognizance, by seizing on suits ir*;;r:- ♦ tited in the State f’ourts, and transfering the ultimata determination thereof to the Federal Tribunals; and finally, by placing th>’ whole military and naval force of the country, in the hands of the President of the United States, to bo bv him employed for lire pu pose of sup pressing by the sword and bayonet, the pro ceedings o! a State to which she has had re course undei tire sanction of her high sovereign authority, thus tieating such proceedings, not as the acts of a sovereign State, but as if thev were the lawless movements of bands of insur gents and outlaws: And whereas the said Act was in truth and fact, passed for the avowed purpose of being applied and exs uted against the proceedings of a sovereign state, and yet on its face it is aimed only at the lawless doings of unauthorised individuals: Whence is clearly evinced, a fixed and deliberate determination cn the part of the General Government, not to recognise the states as sovereign, when in conflict with the Federal Authorities, but to view and treat them in all such conflicts, mere ly as refractory portions of a consolidated cm pire : Wherefore by fie provisions and piincipies <>f said act. State Soveieignty is utterly oblitera ted, as against the Government which the state have created, and the State authorities are made subordinate to those of that Government us far as such subordination can flow from an Delimited liability cf the States to be controled nnd coerced by Federal power, legislative, ju dicial and executive, backed by all the physical force of ta Confederacy;—which is a subordin ation as great, if not as degrading, as that which marks the relation between any the most ab solute Government and its dependent pro vinces. Such is the condition in which the States, of this Union stand according to the principles proclaimed by the President, incor porated by Congress in tho legislation of the country, and which,-judging from past exper ience, we may assuredly say, will be sustained by the Federal Judiciary:—A condition every door ofcscape from which is sought to be ef fectually closed by denying to the several St tes not only all righ ot interposition and self, protection whilst mcmbsis of the confederacy, but also tho faculty of secession from their com. pact of Union, however much that compact may he violated and abused by the General Government to the destruction cf their rights and the lasting ruin of their happiness. • j In this State of things, a solemn duty is in. Cumbent on those who are, in a peculiar manner, entrusted with tho guardianship of State rights. I* behrovs them zealously to defend the bar. riers destined to keep off Foderal aggression, to recur to the true principles of our political; system, and to assert ami vindicate not only the rights of the States, but also the practical means by which those rights may be maintained ur. l preserved.— The Senate and House of Rrprcser.k.tives of the State of Georgia in General Assembly rnet, do theretore declare and resolve : 1 hat the several States composing the United States of America, notwithstanding tho compact of Union subsisting between them and by which a Genera! Government for speci fic purposes is established, are free, sovereign mid independent States;—that in virtue of their sovereignty, they have the right of preventing, ach within its own limits, all exercises of now- ■ or by the G noral G vermne nt not autiiorise:) : by said compact; authorities are whoily exempt from any constitutional liability to he controul-| ed or co-erced by the General Government, or; any or ail of the Departments, thereof; and that I n.s free States, they owe it to themselves, to the ! cause o( liberty and of rnankin not to sucrumh I to the exercise of undelcgah and powers within their respective limits. 2. And it is further declared and rcsolv cd: — That by their said compact called tho con-; dilution.ofthe United States, tlie several States ! of this Union have not conferred on the General Government or any department thereof the right cf determining ns against the severe! States j; questions of disputed power aiding between the General Government and any State or States: i or have thcvby said compact appointed any common arbiter between the General Gov ernment and the States for the purpose of deter mining such questi sis. 3. And be it father resolved, as a necessary consequence of the foregoing, that each State has the right of judging for itself of infractions of the constitution by the Federal Government of interposing for tiro purpose ot arresting such :_c : ..Ta.n ns own limits; and that such judgment and interposition of a State is only liable to be overruled by the decision of three | fourths of nil the States acting under the pro j visions for amending the constitution ot the i U. States. 4. Resolved also—That the. fhcuitv of seces sion is inseperabty incident to a compact sub sisting between sovereign States, and the right of secession in any particular instance must depend on causes of which the party asserting, | the right must judge for itself; amongst which, i ea :ses flagrant breaches of the compact hv the j other party or parties have always be n consid ered good; and se ession—tor any cause can ! at the most, expose the seceding State only t. | the consequences arising underthe laws of war, I and of nations, and never to those of treason | and rebellion. j 5. Resolved further, that tho principles con | tained in the aforesaid Proclamation of the • j President, and Act of the Congre-s of the j United States, go directly, in their practical tendency as well as in abstract theory, to con • solidate the States of this Union into one seve ) reignty of which the plain consequence would j .ie a great central Government freed from all j check, exercisable by the States in their sepn ! rut capacity, and controlling the vast and di versified interests of the confederacy with abso lut will and according to its own arbitraly ; nsiruetton of its powers; whence would re u!t in the fir-t instance, the numerous ills and irritations of raisgovernment, and in the final i event, thi loss n! liberty and the destruction cf t e Union ofthe States. The Senate and House of Fleprcscr.lntrvrs ofthe State of Georgia do therefore pretest against the aforesaid Act of Congress entitled “an Act further to provide for the collection of duties on Inn orts.” and also against the principles on win i it ts based as inconsistant with the constitution ofthe United States, and the rights of the States, and they do hereby demand the repeal of said At; wit , a view to which, his Excellency the Governor is reques ; ted to transmit copies of the foregoing to the Representatives of Georgia in both branches of Congress, to be bv them laid before their respective Houses at the ensuing Session of Bongrcss. .

BERRIEN, has been beaten tor a seat in the United Slates Senate, in the place of Col. Toup, resigned, by john p. king, esq. of Augusta, by 30 votes, < ‘f the latter gentleman, we knew but little, and presume the generality of the people of Georgia know less; suffice it to say, in tho language of the Savannah Republican, “ he is well calculated to pro mote the views of the present majority in the Legisla ture.” -: • e loam by the papers, that the singularly beautiful phenomenon, “ the shooting stars ” was seen nearly thiougliout our Whole country. We have now before us, accounts of its appearance as far North as Richmond, Va. and South to Mobile Alabama. The appearances were pretty mucli the same, differing only in time. Much philosophic speculation has been every* where excited. It seems that occurrences of similar magnificence, have been at different times witnessed before, producing tenor in some, and admiration in others of flic beholders. A sim lar phenomenon was witnessed by ! umbolt, while at Cumana, in South America, on tho 12th Nov. 1799, and .another was seen at tho City of Quito in 17d9, thirty years before. A friend of ours tells a good joke about the appear ance ts a prodigious Meteor some years ago. lie was at the time of its appearance passing through the country with ome wagons. The wagoners and himself had arisen just before dav, and were preparing for an early departure; a meteor of alarming size and brightness, flashed with tlievolocity oflightning through the atmos phere before them: Great God! exclaimed a wagoner, in all the simplicity of terrilic wonderment, “ the Moon’s got loose!” FOR THE WESTERN’ HERAt.I>. “ Now flamed the dog-star’s unpropitions IT", Bmotc ever)'brain, and withered every bav.” The debate in the House of Representatives on Mr. Cooper’s resolutions, has brought to my recollection the above lines of the poet, and their applicability to the gentleman from Ha bersham, who stated, that he “ had rather see the Legislature dissolved, & the State-house de iTiolished.than that the teelings of the triumphant Governor should he wounded,” must strike every one. lam not much in favor of giving such consequence to a man, who could be so abject as to utt r such a sentiment, as any no tice of what he has said, might seem to imply; and I am even afraid that this brief allusion to his remarks, may cause him to entertain tow ards himself, some of the feelings of the Scotchman, who after receiving a flogging, placed his arms akimbo, and strutted into the streets boasting, that “ he had been horse-whipped by a Duke,” But there is a kind of factitious consequence which a seat in the Legislature gives, no matter how or by whom obtained, as may excuse one, i paying that attention to what may be said by each person in that capacity, as would he oth erwise considered an inexcusable condescen sion, and a prodigal waste of time. Ho is, lie ! says, the “ friend of the Governor ;” one would j suppose him the slave, for I doubt whether his | Excellency has “ a field hand” or shoe black, • who would have been so tender of his feelings; j such friendship indeed is rare in this age; may it not have been possible that the heat of this gentleman’s friendship, when adde to that of “ Jim Crow,” the “ Democratic Yeoman.” and “ Die in the Ditch,” (that of the last three being new, and of course warm,) produced the late conflagration in the State-house? Those who understand the laws of C ombustion and Caloric, may possibly solve this question; should the hill which this gentleman has introduced to re move the “ Workshop” to Clarkesville, fail to become a law, will he not remove to Milledge ville, and take up his residence in the “ Work shop,” that he may at all times he ready to pro tect “ the feelings of the triumphant Governor,” from the rude attack o! some straggling fly or musqueto, which might annoy him, as they once attempted to disturb “ my uncle Toby.” If this burst of adulation docs not procure from the “ Superintendent,” some Dukedom or Earldom,then 1 think he should “kill the next Douglass himself.” A LOOKER ON IN VENICE. FOR THE WESTERN HERALD. “UNION,” 1 would suggest, whether this word “ I nioii,” is not served a little like the word “ Captain” was in Dol Tearsheet’s day, and is very much “ dissoitec!;” for instance, when the bare pronunciation of this word, and its continual reiteration by those in (many in stances) who understand its import, about as much as the Parrot in the cage, is the surest passport to office of all grades, from the “ Su perintendent of the Mighty workshop,” down to fho second Constableshipof a Captains beat; and no other qualification required; docs it not prove, that a very good word may he prostitu tetl, and made by “ disserting” it, to subserve “ base men,” and “ base purposes.” WESTWARD HO !

Troup, has, very naturally, created much speculation in the p o f. itical circles. There is a great deal of guessin about the meaning which his very peculiar and emphatic phraseology conveys. To me itj 3 not at nil oracularly Delphic. It is as plain as day light. Mere I called upon to construe it, I would say that it simply means that the great champion of State Right, considers at present. “The post of honor as a private station” . It may be, also, that he is conscientously sr.- dispused to recognize a certain honorable mem her, as his colleague.— Savannah Republican. GOVERNOR LUMPKIN. His Excellency, with all the politeness that so pccutiary characterises him, has most kindh’ issued an order—not, however, under the broad seed of the State— requesting that the Savannah Republican he not sent to the Executive De partment. Vi e are not in the least surprised, that llis Excellency should seize the first op portunity to exhibit his hostility to tho fear less and Independent course pursued by the Savannah Republican in -the late Gubernatorial contest. We protest not against the right of his Exce'leney, to discontinue his subscription to the Savannah Republican: but, wc do most seriously contemn his effort to control the free dom of the Press. The withdrawal of/ns pat ronage will not, we assure him, embarrass us— nor, will it in any mannor, superadd to the sen timents entertained and already expressed In ns, of his political inconsistencies anil unfitness for the dignified station he now encumbers. If his Excellency—as it appears from his order lias taken his stand in warlike array against those who will not bow down and worship hive’ —as old as he is, and skilled as much as hn may be in calculations of political chances, he lias yet a lesson to learn. The People have a deep interest in the security ofthe Freedom cf the Press—they speak iheir sentiments through it. upon all subjects and they look to it as a con stant source of information. From its visita tion, no political man can screen himself, anil no political man need shrink from its power, if he is blameless. If his Fxcellency, influenced by feelings of deep resentment against the inde pendence of the Press, thinks proper, with all the pageant of an Executive order, to erect op position to if, we say lo him take the full mea sure of your experiment. By way of conclusion, wo taka leave to state to his Excellency, that we will never tender to him, that which lie most admires, Jlallery —nor, w ill we desist from detecting his mistakes and exposing his errors, whenever they are brought to ofir notice — Savannah Republican.

Did the President intend to Yazoo Ms Excel lency? SERIOUS AFFRAY. A great tumult occuired in this place last evening, w hich resulted in the death of one in dividual, and thi wonnding of several, one ve ry dangerously. The circumstances were re lated to us as follows, but we cannot vouch lor their accuracy. About dusk Wm. Ward and Henry Byrom (the one who shot Ellis in Ma con) met with a Mr. A G. Vail, whom the lat ter charged with leaving Macon to avoid go ing testimony in the Ellis case, and made an attack on him by choaking, and slightly stab bing : after which they went to the Confection ary store of Mr. Dubourg, whom they tauntc and insulted, and broke a large quantity ot n |S Decanters, tumblers, &c. and beat a r - Hamilton Gaither, who took, or was suppose to take, some interest in the injury done to Mr.. Duhourg. They then went to McComb’s ta vern, where they were rude and on being expos tulated with,struck the Bar keeper, who ran,an on Mr.M’Comb coming, as it is said, with pi®* tols, they seized him aud pressed him back n* they cot into the dining room, where it < s Byrom, or Ward, levelled a pistel to tire at - r * M’C omb, and a Mr.Barclay Martin, struck up tre muzzle, and the contents entered the ceiling- A scuffle ensued, and another pistol was i charged, by which Ward was shot a little be o’ the breast, and was carried oft’ supposed to ‘o killed, and for some lime after was expecte die immediately, out is better to-day, and m recover. His recovery, however, is at pres
