eyes of the guilty to the contemplation of their
misdeeds, to fill them with a salutary horror
of the abominations of which we complain,
and to bestow upon them the blessing of re
morse and repentance. May he convert
them to the ways of justice and patriotism!—
And in the difficulties by which we are sur
rounded, may he open to us a path of sal
vation and of peace; that guided by his spirit,
we might be led through our pilgrimage,
bearing in safety the ark of our libertiesl—
the voice of his own wisdom proceed
from that cloud which now rests upon it, so
that the splendor of knowledge, may issue
from between the guardian cherubim, and an
enlightened people released from all their
perplexities, and in the well ordered harmo
ny of their states, go forth in a holy and tiis
insoluble union, to triumph over every obsta
cle, and to subdue every enemy, till each in
dividual shall under his own vine, and his
1 own tig tree, enjoy bis abundance in the se
curity of peace, &. the rejoicing of prosperity.
Such is the prayr r of, beloved friends.

ever since his introduction into public life, lias

The last Virginia papers are crowded with de
tails of a servile revolt which recently took place
in Southampton, Virginia. Before quelling it,
we regret to say, that the lives of a numlysr of
white people were sacrificed. The Revoiters,
however, as might have been reasonably expect
ed were promptly vanquished. After having
been driven to their fastnesses, in, and within tlc
vicinity of the Dismal Swamp, twenty of them
were killed, and many of them tal.cn prisoners.—
\ terrible fate awaits them —a fate, which will
jonvince the (lev. Mr. Walker, and bis treason j-
ble abettors, that any attempt tocontroul the po
litical movements of the South, by exciting to re
volt her domestic population, cannot escape, with
out the most signal and exemplary retribution
being nice ted out to them.
1 hat these excitements generally originate
w ith disaffected and unprincipled white men, the
history of the South affords ample proof. There
w r as one of this class among us not long ago—hut
lie is now a fugitive from the justice and laws of
our State. And it is deeply to be lamented, that
the hand of the law cannot yet reach him, as well
as all ethers of a kindred spirit, 'Fhey are the
men who have been instrumental in leading into
thedr desperate and unnatural services, the idle
and dissolute part of our poor deluded domestics.
A day of retribution, however, awaits them —and
lot the ultra philanthropists, who have corrupted
them, look to it. They will, sooner or later, feel
the just vengeance of au injured and insulted peo
ple.
Address, j
This is aji able and eloquent appeal to foreign
ers who are not practically acquainted with the j
moral influences of our political institutions, and j
the guards w hich have been set up by our consti
tution, for their protection. Au attentive perusal
ot the Address, will not only enlighten them in
their duties as adopted citizens, but also show to
many of our native born, that they too- sometimes
abuse the privileges with which they are blessed.
Free Trade fiSesoltifians.
W e promised last week, in justice to gentle
men who opposed Mr. Lamar’s Free Trade Res
olutions, to give their reasons for doing so.
Mr. Lamar prefaced the introduction of his re
solutions with a few’ remarks disclaiming any in
tention of exciting party feeling or eliciting argu
ment on a subject so generally understood and so
generally reprobated. The official annunciation
of the contemplated convention in Philadelphia,
was made in this State at so late a day, that there
was not time enough intervening between that
period and the day selected for the Convention,
tcqcall meetings of the people throughout the
State, for the purpose of electing & returning del
egates. As this was the fact we could not exer
cise the legitimate mode of election, in time to
i secure a representation of the State in the Gene
ral Assembly in Philadelphia. To secure then
| to the people of Georgia, a voice in that all impor
tant Convention—a Convention which deeply in
volves their agricultural and commercial interests,
but one alternative remained, and that alterna
tive was adopted by the meetings at Athens and
Savannah, I therefore, said Mr. Lamar, present
these resolutions with a view to sanction the pro
ceedings of those meetings—to clothe them with
a more imposing authority —and to let the gen
tlemen appointed carry with them a greater
weight of public confidence.
Mr. J. B. V\ lc-K, opposed the Resolutions up
on the ground that the Tariff was not only con
stitutional, but highly beneficial to the country'.
He was supported by C. B. Cole, Esq. who
said, that it was not a proper time to discuss the
question—that the meeting was called for a diffe
rent purpose, and to depart from its declared ob
ject, could only tend to inflame the public mind.
W hen Mr. C. rose a second time in reply to some
explanatory remarks from 11. G. Lamar, he (Mr.
<’,) avowed, as another item in his opposition to I
the Resolutions, his belief in the constitutional
ity of the Tariff.
J. G. For, hill, Esq. declared himself a tho
rough go! •; anti-tafiflite—he would yield to ho
man in his opposition to that odious measure. He
believed it unjust, and. oppressive, but not uncon
stilutiunuL Iu his youthful days, lie said, lie pe
rilled his life in Augusta in support of his opin
ions. But, lie argued against the adoption of the
Resolutions, inasmuch as the appointments made
at Athens and Savannah, were not a general ex
pretsion of the sense of the people. lie was al
so opposed to the Resolutions, because they as
serted the unconstitutionality of the Tariff; and
that therefore the effect of passing them, or the
effect of the Convention, or of both, would be, to
in jure the prospects of Gen. Jackson, by denoun
cing as unconstitutional, a measure which he had
declared to be constitutional.
After much disputation, Young Johnston, Esq,
to close an unnecessarily protracted debate, call
ed for the previous question. It was put from
the Chair, when Chas. J. McDonald, Esq. inter
posed an interrogatory to this effect :
He asked, “Whether the mover of the Resolu
tions, or any one else, could inform him in what
way the Free Trade Convention at Philadelphia
could act constitutionally V’ The gentlemen was
replied to iiy someone, who ashed, “ If .Mr. Mc-
Donald could tell him, in what consisted the con
stitutionality of the American System Manufactu
ring Conventions? Several other irrevelant quesa
tions were put, when finally the Resolutions were
triumphantly carried by an overwhelmning majo
rity—four only voting against them.
As our intention in the above sketch is only’ to
give gentlemen’s reasons for opposition, we have
abstained from noticingthe able manner iu which
tbcy were answered and confuted.
The opposition of Messrs. Wick and Cole was
decided. They deemed the Tariff a wise, useful,
and constitutional measure; and, on the score of
principle, gave it their hearty support by their un
feigned hostility to the resolutions.
Of Mr. McDonald’s motives wc have scarcely
sufficient data to form a. definite opinion. But
we are induced to believe that we may ar
rive at such an one, by an analysis of his inter
rogutori•/. He wished to be informed, “if the Free
Trade Convention at Philadelphia can act Can
ifitutionally ?” AVhy did the gentleman put this
interrogatory 1 Was it with a view to be en
lightened on the subject ? We think not. For
he is certainly acquainted with the first principles
of our government, and must consequently know’,
that one of the dearest and plainest defined rights
of the people, is that of meeting peaceably togc-,
ther for the purpose of petitioning for, or remon- j
atrating against measures of Government.. The
gentleman is too much of a Statist, for us to in
sult his understanding by supposing him ignorant
of tht existence of such a right—and too much
of i PeyibCrcn we firpe, frr anv one to quefttirh
in him an opposition to its exercise. What then
could be his motive in propounding his interro
gatory 1 There was but one more which could
havt*actuated him on this occasion, and that was
as uncompromising attachment to the Tariff, and
therefore a settled opposition to the expressed
w ill of the people of Georgia. It is this light
then, that charity impels us to look upon Mr.
McDonald’s opposition to the Resolutions.
The remaifiing gentleman, Mr. Polhiil (of
Milledgeville, and “adjunct” Editor of the fede
ral Uuion,) displayed, some ingenuity but more
sophistry, in his argument. He believed the Ta
riff “oppressive and unjust ” —but, mirabile dictu ’
lie still considered it CONSTITUTIONAL! —
Now, this is a species of logic with which we
are entirely unacquainted, and if the gentleman
can convince us, bow a public measure can be
oppressive and unjust and at the same time consti
stitvtionul, we will award to him a wreath that
would not disgrace the brow of Michiavel him
self. But the gentleman was not here content to
“Palter with us in a double sense,”
but flies off in a tangent to another absurdity equal
ly glaring, lie said, that the Convention at Phi
ladelphia would “injure the prospects of General
Jackson,” if c. by its denouncing as unconstitu
tional, a measure which be had declared to be
constitutional. Now, let us ask, in the first place
by what process of reasoning or of intuition, did
the gentleman reach the fact, that the Philadel
phia Convention would denounce the '1 ariff as
unconstitutional 1 Is he blessed w ith “ second j
sight,” or has the prophetic mantle of Anne Roy
all fallen upon his shoulders ? The objection in
our estimation was frivolous; for the gentleman
must know that the decision of the question is re
served for the general Assembly, and that his
saying what that decision would be, was not only
irrelevant to the subject, but arrogating a degree
of political prescience to which he is not entitled'.
We must therefore think that Mr. Polhiil, in his
opposition to the Resolutions,was -actuated hy the
same feelings and the same policy which govern
ed Mr. McDonald. As the present Tariff involves
principles which will hereafter he the test of re
publican orthodoxy, we have thought proper to
notice this subject, while it is yet fresh in our
as one of the “signs ol the times.”
Tlte Cherokee missionaries.
The late hour at which we received the corres
pondence between the Governor and the Rev. Mr.
Eliznr Butler & Samuel Worcester, did not give
us time enough to remark upon it. We now pro
ceed to do it in a summarily way. By reference
to the correspondence, it will be seen, that the
Reverend gentlemen denied the authority of Gov.
Gilmer to carry the laws of the State of Georgia
,into force against those w ho might choose to vio
late them upon conscientious scruples. It will
also be seen, that Governor Gilmer had humanely
and courteously advised them of the dangerous
j predicament in which they stood, —Yet notwith
j standing all this, a fatal and bigoted zeal, seems
! to have seised upon them, aud like the Round
Heads of old, they were determined to peril their
lives, not only in opposition to the laws of Geor
gia, but iu opposition lo a declared act of Con
gress, sanctioned by an expressed declaration of
the President of the United States. It wras then,
and not till then, that Governor Gilmer directed
Col. Sanford, to let those men, “and all others
similarly situated and offending feel the full
weight of the laws, since such was their voluntary
choice .” It will be seen from this, that Governor
Gilmer expressed no opposition, no hostility to a
legitimate exercise of the duties of Missionaries.
As the chief-magistrate of this stale, he had been
insulted by an opposition in the discharge of his
Executive duties—duties, whic h we have plready
: said, have not only been sanctioned by the State,
but President himself, and the Congress of the U.
j States. Such an indignity —such an outrage —
S justly merited those decisive and patriotic ir nic-
I tions, which told Col. Sanford, to “ Let them”
j (not the unoffending Missionaries, but the wilful
idolaters of our public ordinances,) “ feel the full
weight of the laws.”
C 01. t uimniiiir.
We lately expressed a wish that Col. Gumming,
j of Augusta, who had been almost simultaneously
nominated to the Philadelphia and Eatonton
Conventions, would prefer the latter to the former
nomination, in as much as we believed he could
in that place, be more useful to the Stales and to
j the South generally. We still adhere to our
j opinion. In noticing our remarks, the Augusta
I Constitutionalist says:
“We cannot entirely agree with our fiiend
]of the Advertiser. All who know Col. Ct u.
| ming— and where is lie unknown?—readily
allow him to possess talents ol the highest or
j dor—which have been exerted for the benefit
I of the country, and we doubt riot will be a
gain, whenever the moment of use fulness oc
curs. We wish it were possible lor the Col.
to attend the Philadelphia meeting, but as
he cannot be there and at Eatonton too—we
hope he will be present at the last mention
ed plaje. The Tariff is now very will un
derstood and there will bo no difficulty in
choosing the course proper to he adopted by
those who shall attend at Philadelphia. Our
I own resources —the best means ot fostering
I them and advancing the prosperity of the
I large towns of this State, and of course of the
j State at large—afford new and difficult sub
jecta—to tlm consideration of which too much
of patriotism aud intelligence cannot be in
| yoked.”
In reply to the Constitutionalist, we beg leave
to repeat vvliat we have already said, that for the
i gabd of the Stute the talents of Col. Camming are
not yet sufficiently hnown. In making this asser
tion, however, it is not to hr understood, that we
mean that Col. Gumming is not properly appreci
ated in the extensive and enlightened circle of his
private acquaintance. But that we meant that he
possesses talents of too high an order to be confin
ed to the comparatively restricted influenci • of do
mestic retirement. Col. C. has, in our opinion,
unnecessarily shunned public distinction. The
only time he occupied a public office, was, if we
recollect aright, during the last war, in w hich lie
distinguished himself on the northern frontier,
us an able and gallant officer. His merits liovv
pver, were then not overlooked* for upon the
reduction of the Army, he refused an tie vatu j I
station in the general government which was vol
unjjirily tendered hi.n. Eor since he has Sought
retirement. It is from this retirement we would
Wish to lure him, so that the people not only of
this State bat o* the United States, may know
him better.
The objection too, of flic Constitutionalist, that
the “ Tariff is now so well understood that there
*
will be no difficulty in chosing the proper course,”
Sfc. we cannot fora moment recognize. \Ye ad
mit that it is “well Understood.” —but yet the
Constitutionalist must agree with us, that the
South will require the services of her most talent
ed & influential men at the Philadelphia Conven
tion —and that, as a general principle, there is
some discrimination to be exercised in the ap-,
pointment of agents to guard our rights. It is not
every man wiiose opinions are right, or w hose
pretensions are good, that is so capable of sup
porting them as Col. Curaming. However, all
this is superreogatory—ihat gentleman has declin
ed now the honor intended him, and for which we
only express our regret.

previous notice, for the purpose of appointing
Delegates, to represent this county, in the Con
vention contemplated to be held iu Eatonton, ou
the 28th of Jeptenioer next, for the purpose of
taking into consideration, questions relating to
internal improvement, Peter Kolb, Esqr. being
called to the Chair, and Doct. A. 11. Flewellen
appointed Secretary, the following preamble and
resolutions were submitted and agreed to:
Whereas a meeting is contemplated to beheld,
on the 28th September next, in. the town of Ea
tonton ill this State; for the purpose of enquiring
into, and deciding upon, the expediency and prac
ticability of certain measures of internal improve
ments, in this State j and whereas this communi
ty is deeply interested tn the results of such de
liberations. Beit therefore resolved—lst.That
delegates equal in number to that of our repre
sentatives in the General Assembly of this State,
be appointed by this meeting, to meet such dele
gates as may be appointed by other counties, to
aid in the deliberations, and more particularly to
represent the interests of this county, at the Con
vention specified in the foregoing preamble. 2d.
That the following five named gentlemen; Doct.
Thorifas Hamilton, Doct. Abner 11. Flewellen,
W illiam S. C. Reid, Esq. Col. Thomas Moughon,
and James Gray Esqr. be appointed and consti
tuted delegates for this county, to that Convention.
3d. That in the event of any of the delegates ap
pointed, by this meeting, declining to serve, his
or their vacancies shall be filled, by those of the
delegates who shall attend the contention.
* PETER KOLB, Chairman.
A. H. Flewellen, Secretary.
The following preamble and resolutions were
then submitted and after some discussion, the
question being put on agreemet t, were carried
without* dissenting voice.
Whereas this meeting influenced, no less by a
sincere attachment to the union of the States,
than by considerations of our own immediate in
terest and happiness, and viewing the Tariff of
1828, as a measure clearly violating the spirit of
the federal constitution, being unequal,' unjust
and oppressive in its operation, and manifestly
designed to effect an object never contemplated
by the framers of that instrument, deem it a
solemn duty to encourage every manly and peace
able measure, having for its object the equaliza
tion of benefits and burthens, by such a modifica
tion of the Tariff, as will bring it within the con
stitutional purposes of re venue only. Be it there
fore resolved. Ist. That this meeting do highly
approve of the Anti-Tariff meeting, proposed to
be held in the City ofPhiladelphia on 30th .Septem
ber next. 2d. That this meeting do also highly
approve cf the meetings lately held at Athens
and Savannah, and ?lie selection made, of dele
gates to represent the State of Georgia in the
Con veil ti< n. mention! and in the forgoing resolution,
and that We make use of this occasion, earnestly
to request the gentlemen chosen, not to let this
opportunity slip, of rendering to their State the
important services which their presence at that
Convention, with the talents and patriotism for
which they are distinguished, would most proba
bly enable them to perform.

mitn SUPEItIOIt COUR TANARUS, AugustT<rm, mnt,
ft \T E, the Grand Jury l'orthe County of Bibo,
it at the present term, cordially congratulate
our fellow-citizens on the general prosperity of
the County, no css on account of its growing"
population, the advancement of good order, mo
rals, and education, than on the pleasing prospect
of an ample remuneration for all our toil in t.h
approaching harvest and the general prevalence
ofhealth and prosperity.
There is one subject upon wliieh we regret to
i say, we are bound to cast decided censure; our
I highways we find in a situation calculated to dis—
j grace any community. We flatter ourselves that
it originates, not from a disinclination in our citi
zens to do their duty, but from the gross negli
gence of our Inferior Court, in not keeping up re
j gular appointments of Commissioners a.:J Over
seers oil the different roads, and rigorously enfor
cing the laws against all delinquents.
We have, by our Committee, examined the
Books of the Clerk of the Inferior Court, and find
them kept in a manner alike creditable to himself
and the community which selected him. He re
ports, as remaining in his hands, the sum of One
Hundred and eighty nine Dollars, fifty six cents,
collected on Licenses, &c. since the last session,
of this Court.
In examining the Estray Book, we findestravsr
tolled before Benjamin Allen and Richard
Ellis, Esq’rs.unaccounted for.
We have also examined the Tax Colloctoi’s
Hooks for the year 1830, and have allowed lent
One Hnudred and Fifty Eight Dollars, efbhty
I seven cents, for his Insolvent list; Ninety Eight
Dollars six cents for the Sta’e Tax, and Sixty
; Dollars, seventy five cents, for the county tax
thereon. We also recommend that he Tax Col-’
i lector he allowed the sum of One Hundred a i<l
Twenty Four Dollars eighteen cents deduction
from the State Tax, and Seventy Five Dolla-s
eleven cents from the County Tax of said year,
for errors in the additb n of the aggregate sums of
different pages in the Books of the Receiver,
1 which errors arc apparent upon the Books.
The increasing litigation in this county renders
it in our conception absolutely necessary that tu.
I weeks should be allowed for a term of the Supc
i rior C mt, and we trust that our representative t
i in the next Legislature will use their utmost ex
j ertions td“have the necessary alteration made.
We also earnestly recommend them to use all'
; the means in their power, to have expunged from
1 our laws hy express statute, that barbarous relic of
j ancient jurisprudence, which subjects to the rig-,
ors of cold and hunger, Jurors empanelled for the
trial of causes between parties. We can see'no
j end likely to be effected by the restriction, but
I that of constraining those of weak nerves or ill
health to agree in verdicts with those of .letter
I constitutions, at the expense of their consciences.
In short, we believe it to have a tendency to con
strain a man to the commission of a crime, of all
I others the most dangerous to society, and degra
| ding to the feelings and character of the porpetir.-,
[ tor and his family, thut of Perjury. W* hope*
I that Grand Jurors throughout the State will co-op--
j crate w ith us in an object so desirablo, by a full
! and frank expression of their opinions upon this,
j subject and by special ch.rrges to their represen
tatives in the next Legislature to that effect.
Viewing the number of the Senators and Repre
sentatives in the Legislature of this State as en
tirely too large, the Grand Jury of Bibb Coun
ty respectfully urge upon the attention of the next
General Assembly, (as they have the right to do,)
the expediency of having both branches’of the
same reduced. Aud they further recommend it
Convention to he Called for the purpose of revis
ing the provision of the Constitution.
'The Grand Jury also recommend, that the In
fererior Court have the Court House square inclo
sed by a neat fence, and ornamented and improved
by shade trees, if c. and that they pay for the saint*
out of the County Funds.
The-prcsent being the last terra of this Cour6
w hich is to take place during the Judicial Term,
for which his Honor CHRISTOPHER Ift
STRON G is appointed to preside, we cannot iik
justice to ourselves refrain from tendering him
our most cordial w ishes lcr his personal welfare,
w is lies emanating from a settled conviction of his
moral and Judicial worth, which has been so fully
evinced during the present long anti unpleasant
term, by his urbane anc! easy deportment, prompt
and lucid decisions, connected with that untiring
zeal in the discharge of the various duties of his
office, w hich has long constituted a disiiuguish
ing feature in his official character,
j To Richard L. Bimms, Solicitor, \ve make at
tender of our thanks for the very prompt and at.
I tentive manner in which he at all times h is eudea
voretl .to facilitate the business and promote tin*
comfort cf our body,during the present term. VVa
