The Weather in our nci*rhhothood f>r tuo past week,
has been exceedingly inclement. Snow, sleet or rain,
have fallen durin.c the whole time, and we have scarcely

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

’ 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

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.
