Snow, sleet or rain, have fallen durin.c the whole time, and we have scarcely seen *he cheerful studiffht v. n for a hopeful interval, the roads through the country, are we understand, in a d* - peratt s‘at*\ and the ('recks and Avers have swollen to an extraordinary decree. V* c notice the great excitement creat’d every where, and the complaints of th stagnation of business, particu larly. in the Comm rcia I towns of th North, by the un precedented, and lawlf ?s removal of the public deposits. We publish in this days paper, extracts fom Northern papers, which show how these violations of the law’s of the land are looked upon there. The Administration m doubtless look aghast, when they see many, hitherto and e!ar> and inirnica l to our National Bunk, entering their pro • t airatnst this Presidential act of violence. Wc be \ • the newly created Jackson men at the South, will *• the last to give up that favorite, though smother and ntimant of Democratic Federalita, “the Kimr can do -O wrong ” Pursuant to a resolution of the State Rights Asrccia* ti< nos this county, w publish Preamble and Cos - stitution adopted on the 23th of December ’as* ’’roamMe ami C-mstitiititm < T t e l.tjm kin Car.ity. ’ or The uroat Apostle of Republican Liberty; be whose politn al tenets, ail prfess to support, re commended at an era, not unlike the present “ The support of the State Governments in all* heir rights as the most competent administra tion for our domestic concerns, and the surest! bulwark against anti-republican tendencies,” and said“ that should w , in our moments of error or ot alarm, wander from this, as one of the creeds of our political faith, let us hast < to retrace our steps, and to regain the road I which alone leads to peace, liberty and safety.” If such wa- the patriotic counsel of Jefferson in allusion to the time when the Congress of the- U niton ;atcshad assented to vest the Pre sident with powers over tic personal liberty of the ctizenatthe north,at war iththe spirit ofthe Constitution, ami when it nan likewise a*su to enact laws restricting the liberty of speech, ano subversive of the freedom of the Press. May we not advert to it as peculiarly applicable j to a crisis, when to use, the expressive kin-1 guage ot Georgia’s own purest, noble 4, most! virtu us son, “ The strange politieal phoneme- ! non is presented of a mere government, treat- j ing a sovereign state, as if th t state were j corporation an unlawful assemblage of indivi— t duals.” Ought not the warning voice to be reiterated in our ears “ to retrace our steps,” when a time has which power.-, arc boldly an, te naciously-claimed, for the General Government which,^admitted,are more dangerous to liberty ’■> r fearfully fatal to thcseourity ofour republic <nl istitutions,thn any asserted in,th< davsofth* * ‘der Adams. W hen error has indeed crept into our institutions,and when false alarms have been sounded, to drive us from their legitimate support—when ttiose who would passively and servilely surrender al! in them that is dear to republicans, under fiiv rite and beloved appel lations, are endeavoring to alarm the unw -iry into their ranks, to ad members to their strength by branding their opponents with every epithet of opprobium, that he who loves his country, will not bear, and docs not deserve \Yc may bo permitted the remark, less by way of reproach than regret,that the politics ofthe people of Georgia, have ever be. n more dis tinguished by a blind adheran e to men and to names, than by devotion to principles. The oldest among us have ever been accustomed to hoar the linos of party distinction drawn, by pla | mg boldly in front, the name, ot some eminent partizan leader, ruor. eminent for his manage ment and skill, in party discipline, than for his political integrity, or his zeal in the propagation and advancements s ,un:i poii ical doctrines. The members of the association believe that it is time that their shackles, unworthy of a dig nified republican people, should be thrown off ,nd that our political struyal-s and discussions ■ould in future, be alone di tinguished bv an nest effort, for the establishment of principles, •arate .n,i apart from the advancement of ~en, and inciependant of the interest of favorite anil aspiring pavii/.an leaOcrs. M>’ beiievo tiiat the |.|. suit"• •,-!!. mule imueiii.uslv denmnds the adoption oi this 'ourae, bei aupe it is now more important tusn it has herelolore oeen that the principles ol'o’ir gey, in vent should b dis— tinetlv understood, and uidepcndently acted upon, It has been but recently, that n controversy arose between a state, and (Jcnrrai fo ---vevnment, wlneh tins passed, and the merits of j which, it i- not the purpose ot this Association ’ to discuss. That oontrovi rsy, however, brought Jto view such assumptions of power on the part jof the 1 itter, as immediately to throw the dis ! eussion bevond the limits of the State, that cre | ateif it, and beyond the subject involved in it— • and to excite tearful alarm in all those who be lieved with Jefferson, “ that the preservation of tip’ State Governments in all their rights, is the suiest bulwark against Anti-republican tenden | cie£” | The novel doctrine has been assorted in >-on j tradii ti.m to the very principles ■>!’the Declara | lion ot Independence itself; that those states are I not now or ever were sovereign and independant, 1 and powers have been proohmated by iho I’ro i sident of the laiitf<! States, to regulate and to 1 control their actions, and with a will well nigh despotic, to cornpri thoir arquiesrense. to his official mandates. Powers which require but i the tame and submissive acquieseense of the nvercign- states, to obliterate ev tv vestage of their sovereignty, and to make them indeed, tributary to the will and command ol the Feder al Executive; and Congress in rec ognition of their assumptions of power, at its last session, disgraced, and indelibly tarnished our Statute Rooks, by incorporating in them, a law, virtu ally informing him to mark the line to lie pursued, and with such arguments as should a'one be wielded again-t the enemies of our country, to compel a sovereign state “to walk therein.” The absurd doctrine has been pro ulgated, that the General Government (who i is but the creature and agent of the States, am. which like all other agents, has only the right to use, so ns not to abuse the powers expressly delegated to it;) has derived from its creators, supremacy over them, and such acontroling m -1 fluencc over their actions, as results in nothin; js’ ‘rt of absolute sovereignty. A doctrine no j less absurd, than that the principal can coni r upon the agent, i ore pow ers than he himself ! professes, than that the creator car confer upon ! the creature, its attiibut sos sovereignty, ar.d thereby subject itself to the coercion of the creature of its own creation. In one word, the contest alluded to, has ori ninated in the issuing of tho Presidents Procla mation, and in the consequent passage of the Force Bill; the claim of powers for ff r General Government, tending direct!; to the most hate ful consolidation, and to the concentrations of such strength, not in Congress itself, hut even in the President independent of it, as results irn. mediately in ti e utter pro ration and subver sion; the total annihilation of all the dearest and most valuable principles of our boasted confe deracy. Preposterous, absurd and fatal to liberty, as are tin fr docirines: an'; rep-.: li. an, tin! servile ly slavish as would -e m tame and passive ae quies. -n o in. an submission t them; yet hcv have found their advocates among in those who profess to love liberty as the"*inheri - taneo of their fathers—and who notwithstnnd ing, by such advocacy, plac: themselves in the strange attitude of counting the pressure of the yoke, which has already galled them almost be yond endurance; who by sueh support (though not in i Christian spirit) lick the hand that (ha-, teneth them, anil shamefully bovr the knee in surrendering that liberty, widen their fathers vainly endeavored to secure to them. The advocates of their doctrine, come among us, clothed w ith the specious, the allurin'* name ofF nionmen. Yet no sooner had they been promulgated, than mark the result. The mas. ter spirits of the Hartford Convention; the very lights of Federalism throughout the 17. States men the first t - hail them as the legitimate creed of their faith, and (he self styled Fnion party in Georgia,, are hut second in joining in anthems of praise to doctrines, which if esta. hlisbed, they would be instead of its support, chanting the funeral dirge of that Union, as the ex. lusivc advocates of which, they so vaunting. Iv prate. i The name of Union was once legitimately, i an J is yet a favorite, a beloved appellation; but when it is made to subserve the sinister purpe s-’S'ofpolitical demagogues—when it is used as a mark tor federalism, it becomes no longer an ho-or, but rightly understood, see its new appli nation, a shame and n reptoaeh to the republi can who wears it. It is a trite and a true rule, ‘o judge men by the company in which they are found; and if by the application of this rule, wc find these sell styled union men inthe Federal ranks, the advocates and supporters of federal doctrines, they are fairly, and without subject ing ourselves to the charge of illiberahty, to be called federalists, and are not iniionmen. Wo rep at that we believe that the doctrines of those who hold with t e prieiples of t„e Proclamation anti Force Billj-ure the unqualified doctrines ( l consolidation; are indeed the very essence ot” federalism. While their advocates are endea voring to i. .pose them upon the people, under the specious and alluring name of advocates for the Union. Hence the necessity of forming this and sim ilar political Associations, to arrest the pro gress of error and imp. isition; to contribute our feeble aid in ihe i res nation ot the institutions of on, country, pure and uncoirupted, and to lead back the wandering into the road “ which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety.” Vve would tear off the mask of our opponents arid proclaim to them, that in ardent devotion to the Union of these states, that in pledging “ °uf lives, our fortunes and our sacred honors” for its preservation and perpetuity, and in our willingness, at the hazard of each and all, to redeem the pledge, the members of this Asso. ciatiori yield to none. Unlike them, we would preserve it in its original purity, and not by tamely vielding up any, even tile least, of the principles upon which it was originally formed Wo would preserve it upon such principles as fathers bcqncutbed it to u., and unless so pre “wived, union be ■< mes indeed an unmeaning j name, and enr liberties as sovereign stales, n mere mockery. n s w -aid preserve thu Ge neral and Btate Governments, each in their respective spheres. \\e love and vcnciate the Uonstitjtion of the United States, belioting that a tenacious adherence to it, is the only se curity to the prosperity, the, liberty, and glory ot j all the States; and upon its perpetuation m its ! native puiitv; the principle and progress of free ! Government in the whole wori , depend —at the j same time, we woul repel with republican firm i ness and integrity, the slightest innovations qp. I on, and misconstruction of that article, by which state sovereignty and State R ights, will he in | the slightest degree encroached upon.” Be. lieving tn the language of Jefferson, which can. not be tooobten repeated, that they are the su. rest bulwarks againstanti-repuhlican tendencies. \Ye therefore, pursuant to the request of the State Rights Convention, assembled at Mil. ledgeville, form ourselves into a State Rights Association, and adopt for our Government, the following Constitution: Art.
