tomraiitee of the whole was accordingly dischttrg- j
*l. j. ,

Convention, w hen Mr. Gallatin rose and prgpos- i

Mr. GtdUUin gave in a sbo-,t sßul emphatic
speech, his views- of the impolicy arid injustice
of the American System.’ but declined (‘as
Hr. Berrien had done before, and as tie hr.J sug
gested all should do,) a discussion of tlie ednsti
tutiimal quasilon.
A short desultory debate, tlien ensued. Xov.;
Miller, of S. tI, Mr. < 'ntger of the same stale, Mr.:
I’arpmler of Mdiae, .Mr. GNLit.n, and Mr. iStr.

Tfer question was then liken on the motion to
strike out so much of the Address as relates to
theconslilutionel question, when 32 members vo
ted for striking out, ami 1-19 against striking out.
Jlr. Jobui/n, of S>. tkthfen moved to amend the
Address by striking cut a part 04 two sentences,
■jit which it is dec lured'to be the ht-ikf of many
that Cocgrose have powerto-affonl incidental pcc
tetiou to particular blanches pfuulustry. Mr. J.
contended that Congress had mo suchconstitu
tauat power, and supported his views in a short
aid able speech.
He was replied toby Mr. Berrien, and Mr.
Jones of Georgia, both 'of -whom spoke -in a very
impressive manner.
Mr. Wafers of Alabama, -made a Ynotion to a
meud Mr. Johttsoit’s motion. Mr. J . accepted cf
the amendment.
Several attempts were made to terminate the
.discussion, by calls for the previous question, and
Xy mittens to lay the an.eVidmtiit on the table;

Mr. of Alabama, made a fow remarks

from ihe nature of the ease, it seemed almost
impossible to discuss the amendment, without
awwisehig the constitutional questi hi. Against
tiif introduction of this into debate, Mr. Stockton,
ci'Xc .v-Jt rsey, protested in yevy decided terms ;
ati'i Mr. Johnston withdrew his motion to amend.
Tha question was then put on adopting the ad
dress.
Mr. Sedgwick, of Massachusetts, in an anima

A motion being then made -to adjourn, the Pre

following effect?
Gentlemen of the Convention:
The expression of my pincers and cordial thanks,
is "the ooiy return which l have to offer you, for
the apnrobafory resolution which you have just
passed-.
N- t to fool gratified at such a tnanifestation of
good opinion from Mte.h a body, would, on my
part, betray dat utter want of sensibility and grati-
to acknowledge it, Weuhl bo unequal
want of candor.
'Csiulemen: You will pardon ran for ■detaining
' you a moment-, in giving vent to feelings of ano
, titer character, in which i am sure every member -
present participates.
1 YYe came hither >mJor extraordinary circtun
i stances. Wc came in obedience to tho wishes of"
! the greatreduununity which wore present, to coun
sel together, tv ith a view to devise a constitution
lal and ptutcr-able remedy, for the grievance of
! which they complained —"that is to Pay, a wreng-
Lful and oppressive system of taxation. Vve came
j amidst the hopes aud fears of cur con-tif uents.
They indulged indeed the.-hope of success; yet it
1 v/.i a hope clouded withtire apprehension of fail-
S ure, from that contrariety of views, and varying
shades of opinion, which so often prevail in nu
merous. assemblies of men.
1 congratulate .yon,'gentlemen—l congratulate"
ot:r constituents, and our common Country —-nay,
1 congratulate the great principle of free tracks, of
which eve are the advocates, that the result of cur
deliberations has more than realized all their
fondest hopes, and more than disappointed all
their fearful apprehensions.
It Ims done -more: 11 has given to the wind tho
ilhomtned angaries of those who exuitinglv pre
dictor}, a plentiful harvest of distraction in oar
councils, and the scattering of fife-brands, which
would kindle tha fialne of civil war amongst our
people. Thank (led! This wrfs not our purpose.
This Is Hot what we have dune—we came here,
with peace on our lips, and in oar hearts —wc
have spoken the language of. peace and friendly
expostulation, We h?ve appealed, to our coun
trymen, and, in the name of justice, hnye Called
upon them (V- a redress of our grievances.
And will this appeal be m vain/ lhope—l
trust —I believe —it w ill not.
I persuade myself, that our countrymen will
listen with respectful attention to jhe complaints
of their brethren. J persuade myself, that Con
grass, too, tlrtir ami cur representatives and sev
-1 vants, w ill not turn a deaf eauli a remonstrance,
coming from a quarter, and supported by a voice
to which even tne p Wildest monarch, on a Ku
roponn throne, would fire! it to be his duty to
vouchsafe an attentive hearing.
Should such be the happy fruits of our delibe
rations, we may felicitate ourselves upon havisgl
been members of this body—we may well rejoice, 1
that it will afford anew and gratifying proof ol i
the value of our government. j
The experience of the late war had furnished ;
illustrious evidence of its ability, to carry ns glo
riously and triumphantly, through a perilous!
struggle with the most powerful nation on earth.
This would shew its happy aptitudes tor a time
of peace : It would shew that public opinion, en
lightened by information, and guided liy justice,
will stamp its impress upon the legislative coun
cils of the country. That its every form and pres
sure will he exhibited in the acts of that Legisla
ture, dispensing equal rights to each portion of
the community, and causing every wave oi dis
content, which disturbs the repose of the society,
to subside and settle down into the profound calm
of perfect contentment. .
That such may bo the auspicious results of our
deliberations, l invoke the patriotism of our fid- (
t iow-citizcns —I invoke the justice of our common
I country—l invoke the genius of the Constitution,
and that spirit of harmony, which called it into
being.
The Address was received with loud plaudits,

appointed Soe.retary- Aite.i exchanging their I
views; the Meeting adopted the following
Preamble and Resolutions.-—*
Whereas, from the disturbed and agitated
condition of the slave population in the States
Of \ irguiia and North Carolina, and the ma
ny base and incendiary attempts of evil men,
, :| iid igiio’-jutfonaties. to create a spirit ofin
subordin and revolt among tho slaves,
throughout the Southern States,by dissemina
ting inflammatory printed Piunphleta and o
ther publications atnong them, we deem it
highly necessary to adopt a uniform system
of police in this County, not only for own
safety, but to preserve on’r slaves from tite
consequences that may arise from the efforts
daily making to render them dissatisfied with
their present condition.
Therefore, Resolved, That we pledge our
selves to proseduto with the utmost rigotu, a
ny person who may attempt to disseminate
the Liberator, or Walker jnmphlet, or any
such publication in our State.
2nd. llesofoed, That we deem it essentia!
to the good order of this County, that slaves
should not be allowed to leave the Plantation,
or residence of their owners, or employers,
without a writt n permission given fora lim
ited period, not exceeding five days, except
when upon the immediate business of the
owner or employer, and stating particularly
to what place the bearer has permission togo;
and vve deem it (he duty cv every good ehi
zen, tostop, and punish, any stave orfrt*e per
son of color found .absent from his residence
without stick permission; and we [Hedge our
selves to support not only the Patrols 4 but
all -other Citizens, in enforcing- this ittwo
lulioti.
3rd. lie solved, Tlwt we consider the un
restrained intercourse that at present exists
between the slaves and free persons of color,
living in Town, and those in tho Country,
as highly injurious to this class of our popula
tion. it shall ho the duty of the Patrols and
other citizens to arrest and punish any shivo
or free persons of color iiving in Augusta,'
who rnav be found beyond the limits of said ;
city, unless such slave or free person c#f color!
shall be upon the business of his or hr* own-!
<-r, employer, or Guardian of such tree per-j
sons of color.
4th. RcSblccd,Th:ii in the present state of
affairs, we deeiii sfH collections of slaves, and
free persons of cplor, dangerous to the peace
of the county, and injurious to ii< insclvcs;
wc consider it therefore the duty of every cit
izen to disperse any such assemblage where
ever it may he, during the night or day, and
whether assembled under the pretext of reli
gions worship, of airy other, unless such as
semblage be by permission of their owner or
employer, on their own premises, ami by their
own slaves,
5 Hi. Rcsohrd, That wc earnestly recom
mend to :!1 male citizens*, living within eon*
venient "distance of each other, to form, them
selves into Volunteer Patrols for Che purpose
of carrying into effect those il<.-solu
tions.
Oth. Resolved, Tiiat we recommend to
our Senator and Representatives to endeavor
to have a law passed at tho next session of the
Legislature, which shall prevent any slave or
free person of color who shall travel north ol
the river Potomac, from ever returning to the
state of Georgia, an 1 that a copy of this Res
olution be furnished to our Senator and each
of our Representatives.
7th. Resolved, That, as the slaves and
free persons of color, have free access to the
churches of the whites, for tire purpose of re
ligious worship, there can exist no necessity
for places of worship appropriated, to tliem
sal. es, and as such meetings may ha perver
ted to evil purposes, injurious to the peace of
this county; we do resolve, that all churches
so appropriated, shall in futuro bo closed, and
the meetings dispersed, and as the aforesaid
Church of Augusta is considered by the blacks
its the head of all their other churches in
tins -county, we earnestly recommend to the
City Council of Augusta to close that church;
and tiiat our Chairman send a copy of this.
Resolution to the Mayor,to be submitted to the
Gitw Council.
Bth. Resolved, That a committee lie ap
poinled to wait on the Mayor anil City Coun
cil of Augusta, and request, tiiat nil night
meetings oftho blacks within tire said city,
be abolished, and that slaves be no longer per,
nutted to hire their own time, own horses or
drays, or occupy houses apart from their
owners or employers, within the limits of the
said city. (
9th. Resolved, That this mooting believe,
that niost cf tho existing evils among our
negro population, arise from the knowledge of
reading and writing which exists with them,
and therefore recommend to the Legislature,
the adoption eff some measure for the icmovai
from tne State, as lar as practiciible, of all
negroes who can read and write, and jiart.cu
larTy of all free negroes whatever.
10th. Resolved, That our Senator and

to have the law preventing slaves and five
persons of color from setting tip type, in print

RISINO OF THE BLACKS.
Extract of a letter, received in Italllmprc
thin morning from (fie Eastern Shore of
.Mainland, dated
Easton. October 6. 1831.
I suppose you have heard the various
reports that are in circulation about the
insurrection of the negroes for the last
week or ten days. On Monday an ex
press arrived from Scaford stating that
they hail assembled in a large force in
that part of the county ; last night we
were aroused from our beds about 11
o’clock with an express from the same
quarter, saving they had assembled on
the Nanticoke nriar Seaford, and had
murdered a family and shot at others.—
The express was after arms—thotv have
been some arrests in Easton, and wc
tux': not without considerable excitement.
P. S.—9 o’clock Another express
has just arrived drom Denton, confirm
ing the news of the rising of the blacks—
they have murdered Doctor Bain and his
family and commenced an attack on Sea
ford. We arc sending arms and ammuni
tion to arrest their mad career.
Haiti more Patriot.
We learn that Mr. Ingham was rather
unceremoniously assailed in Uhesuut
street yesterday, by one w hom he had
injured while Secretary of the Treasury.

The market.
Our town begins to look ailin';-ted, and our ae- ;
and enterprising merchants are busily pre- ,
paring fur a bustling-winter camp-sign. Our ;
Pianterfi, too, with their hardy fronts ami honest i

and a ready market, Between four and five
hundred bales have already come in. That the
Coming season may prove prosperous and happy

We shall immediately commence the arrange

The Election*,
We have received returns from seventy-three
counties, which give to Mr. Lumpkin a majority
of 1481. The remaining counties to be. lieard

The Macon Telegraph made its appearance
yesterday, as a doily paper. It is printed on a
neat little demi sheet. Resides the- daily Issue,
wo ar6 informed that Dr. Bartlett will still pub
lish, as heretofore, a weekly Telegraph.
On Saturday lust, the Georgia Messenger made
its debut on an enlarged sheet, and Ic.r.lrs welt.!
As an aet of editorial etiquette We feel bound to j
notice the improved condition of our neighbor of
the Messenger, although the same courtesy was
I not extended to our humble efforts, when we
made otrr btnv to the-public*
We here, however, deem it our duty to snv,
that the Messenger, [senior as it is] “ IS (contra
ry to its assertion,) exceeded in size” by more
than “ one” newspaper in this state. A-few
more M’s are wanting Messrs. &-Rose & Cos.
There are now more newspapers in Macon,
than in any other town in the State, and all-of
them, we believe, aro liberally supported. This
• to the patronage of our good
M aconites and the citizens of the adjacent conn
. ties; for which we of the Tyt’S, should hold them
in grateful remembrance.
Free Trade Convention.
After a font day’s session distinguished for its
moderation, intelligence and patriotism, this high
ly interesting assemblage adjourned sine die, on
Friday the 7th inst. We have published the pro
ceedings up to that period, ineluding the Address
of the Convention to the People of the U- Suites.
A committee of “ one person for cadi of the Stat.es
represented,” has been appointed, in apeord wee
with a resolution from M{- Berrien, “ to prepare
a memorial to Congress, to collect facts illustra
tive; of the-operation of the present system of du
ties, and to urge on Congress the adoption of a
more liberal policy.” Before this resolution was
adopted, an amendment from Mr. Shorter was
inserted,“makingit the duty of the Committee
to shew that ;he present tariff is more oppressive
to the poor than to tho rvA.”
Mr. U.ARftot-R’s address, on retiring from the
Chair, cannot fail of making a favorable and feel
ing impression upon every patriotic mind—-it is
neat, chaste, and full of pathos. Well has he
said, that he “ persuades himself, that ottr coun
trymen will listen with respectful attention to the
c&tnplainU of theixbrethren; and that Congress
100, their and our representatives aud servants,
will not turn a deaf ear to a remonstrance, coming
. M S
from a quarter, and supported hy a voice to which
even the proudest monarch on an European throne,
would feel it to he his duty to vouchsafe an atten
hearing.”
From the memorial which "is to he be presented
to Congress, we anticipate an array of facts and
argatnoat, which will place the odious fea
tures of the subject fo such bold relief, as must
render itnext to impossible for that body to con
tinue the operation of a measure,so unconstitution
al in its inception, ami ruinous in its tendency.
The Address-to tit* People of the United States
(which is -said to be from the pen of" Mr. Berrien,
wait the Exception of single paragraph,) will
also operate a salutary influence. The sophisti
cal argument that the Tariff has had a tendency to
cheapen cotton fabrics and ether manufactures,
ie shorn of r.J speciousness, and triumphantly ex
ploded- The real cause of a reduction in manu
factured articles is properly attributed : and llte
fact, that were it not for the present onorous sys
tem of duties, a still greater reduction would en
sue, is fully established. Let the planter, the
j.iuereliatit, the mechanic, the ship-builder* nia-
I tardy reflect upon this Address—let "theta read it.
and read it over again and again—let them get it
by heart, and pin it to their memories. Let them
do this—and they will be convinced, that they
have been made lire dupes and vassals of a manu-
IV I tiring monopoly, which is rapidly eating out
their substance and praying upon their vftals, like
tlfe fabled vultures thattorraevated Prometheus,
We cannot close this article without again re
ferring to the patriotic aud dignified character of
the Convention. The slanderous assertions of its
enemies have been falsified—the obstacles which
an untiring cupidity heaped in their way, have
been surmounted, and they will return to the bo
som of their constituents, bailed by the grateful
plaudit of “ Well done, good and faithful servants.
In our areals, hereafter, those toe, who have par
ticipated in the deliberations of this Convention,
“Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named,
Ami yearly on riic vigU, feast their friends.”

The Merchant's Late Book. —Mr. Hunt, of
Philadelphia, has recently published a vol
ume, which wc think liktdy to be very use
ful to men of business, ami therefore promises
to be '.veil received by them. It has been
prepared for the press, apparently with much
card—-by William Grimshaw, Counsellor at
Law. Its title wc give at length, as suffi
ciently illustrating the Useful character and
object'st>f the publication. The volume is
entitled “The Merchant's Rate Hook ; —being
a treatise on the law of Account Render, At
tachment, Bailments, Bills of Exchange, and
Promissory Notes, Cartiers, Insur'd rice against
Fire, I/ctters of Credit, Partnership, Princi
pal and Agent, Stoppage in Transitu, &c.”
The suhjects treated of in this volume are il
lustrated by numerous judicial decisions, and
are therefore prevented in such a way ns to
claim full confidence. The book is, fts wc
i are informed in the tide, .page, designed ex
f press!-.- for the use of the merchants of t|ic
I United States. A casual examination of its
pages induces the opinion already expressed,
that it will be received with favor by that im
portant class of the community.
