FROM HII.LEGEVII.t.G.

IT. S. SUPREME COURT, VS GEORGIA.
The proceeding’s of the Legislature in our pa
per of to-day will be found interesting—particu
larly the notice of the Citation of the Supreme
Court of the United States, issued against Geor
gia, in the case of the culprit Missionaries. The
Citation is signed by Henry Baldwin, who, it will
be recollected,was the sole andsolitary demurrer a
crainst the opinion of Chief Justice Marshall,as pro
nounced in the case of Tassels—a case similar in
its character, but less aggravated in its features
than that of the Missionaries — inasmuch as both
cases were penal, and occured within the limits
of our sovereign jurisdiction ; the latter, howev
er, disdaining the offer of Executive clemency
humanely extended them, which tho former would
doubtless, have accepted, had the circumstances
of the case justified its interposition. These re
peated and fruitless attempts of the Supreme
court of the United States, to control the sover- j
eigntyof an independent State, if much longer
persisted in, will cetuinly render her delibera
ti ns supremely ridiculous; and in time, induce
us almost to question even an exercise of her
legitimate authority;
Governor Lumpkin, in communicating the cita
tion to the Legislature, has, we are truly glad to
say, confirmed the course ptvsucd in the case of
Tassels, by his able and patriotic predecessor.—
lie has met the judicial mummery of Judge Bald
win, in a manner becoming the character and in
terests of Georgia. In doing so, however, lie
places between himself, his party, and the Ex-
Judge Schley, an impassable barrier—lor it
will be recollected that the latter gentle
man was willing to prostrate us at the foot
stool of the Supreme court, by clamorously
advocating for it a supremacy which even that
high-toned and arbitrary tribunal dared not, even
itself, contend for. And for this shall we send
Judge Sthley to Congress? Forbid it Justice—
forbid it Patriotism.
NOMINATION OP CEX. JACKSON &C.
The preamble, reasons, and resolutions sub
mitted by Mr. Wood, being made the order of
the Jay for Thcrsday last, after being read and
supported, in a speech of some length, by Mr.
Wood, (and which will appear hereafter,) Mr.
Habiv moved, that they remain on the table for
i1,.. balance of the session, which was decided in
the negativc-navs (PS- nays ‘2. Different amend
mentw w'ert! then proposed by Mr. Daxim, "hitd.
j being .-greed to, the “ Preamble, Reasons, and

M hcreas, the rc-elcation of Andrew Jack
son to the Presidency of the United States,
tor the next term is cf vital importance to Jic
best interest of the peopl —as such rv event
icill tend to perpetuate the happiness end
prosperity of our beloved country by preserv
ing unimjMiired the Federal Constitution, for
the following reasons :
Ist. Recausc he is a decided and firm
friend to the continuance of the Federal
I Union of these states: “It must be pre
served.”
2d. Because, he has avowed an honest
! conviction that the payment of the national
| debt, is the surest means of reconciling con
dieting interest at present existing, and thcrc
|by render permanent the blessings we now
i enjoy. If lie is elected, there is no doubt,
I that all important objects, w ill be accom
i plished.
| Jd. Because of the strong determinations
| which lie has expressed on several occasions
to have tlie national debt extinguished, that
the burthens upon the agricultural interests
| of the’ v Nouth and the commercial interests of
l the whole country ilfay he removed—author
i iso tile hope that under his second adminis
: tration that these great interests of agricul
ture, commerce and manufactures may Ik.*
J placed upon a common footing of equal pro
tection and equal freedom, whereby the con
stitution will be restored, and the south re
lieved from the imposition of the present sys
tem of drawing tribute from the many for
the benefit of the few.
4th. Because, by putting his vote to the
Maysville road bill, he has arrested the sys
tem of Internal improvement, which proposed
to establish one violation of tiie constitution
by the repetition of another, to maintain the
Tariff System by creating a permanent drain
from the federal treasury —to perpetuate an
extravagant and oppressive taxation by a
profligate expenditure of the public revenue.
licit resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the State of Georgia, in
general assembly met, and it is hereby resolv
ed by the authority of the same, That the
people of tins State, look forward with deep
solicitude to the re-election of Andrew Jack

Mr. Baber was excused voting, being op

unnecessary expression of an already ascer

1 and resolutions as amended were then unun
i itnouslv agreed to.
MR. NESBITTS RESOLUTIONS
I Nominating Gen. Jackson, and disapproving
of Mr. Calhoun.
After giving these with the resolution of Mr.
i Wood, as above stated, the Senate took up the
' preamble and resolutions submitted by Mr. Ncs
l bill, and which were published in our paper of
: the 2d ilist, when, so much thereof as specified
; the principles of President Jackson’s admiaistra
i tion, approved hy the State of Georgia, and the
j resolution nominating him for re-election—were,
I (upon a point of order) excluded from considera*
j tion by the Senate : oecause the same, in sub
! stance, had just been acted on. Here, we think,
| was ail oversight, on the part of Mr. Nesbitt and
j the advocates and supporters of iiis preamble and
I resolutions —an oversight too, which we think
material, because, the preamble and resolutions
: eovered the whole ground—fully setting forth
' the nonpariel virtues and principles of General
Jackson, and more especially those points em
braced in, tho economy of public expenditures—
opposition to a re-chu.ter of the United States
Bank —preservation of the federal constitution —
“ tlu States from consolidation, and the south
from pecuniary bankruptcy, & political proscrip-
J tion” —and a co-iucid lit feeling with the rights
; ol*Georgia and the Indian policy. These were
! important considerations to be set forth, and be.
ring the sentiments of the people of Georgia,
| would have been echoed by their organs—the
. legislature and Executive. Being excluded
however, by the previous passage of those of Mr.
Wood, the senate went into consideration of the
preamble and resolution relative to Mr. Calhoun ;
which being amended reads thus .
“ Many of the public presses thoughout the
United States, opposed to the Administration
of President Jackson, have laboured to induce
! a belief, that a portion of the people of Geor
| gia are tv illing to make common cause, with
the Vice-President, and thereby contribute to
the defeat of General Jackson. Reccx?
events in this*State have been unjustly bailed,
in some of our sister States, as proof of the
triumph here, of John C. Calhoun and his
principles, over the President, his friends and
his principles. The great body of the people
of this State have no feeling in common with
the pretensions* or with many of the princi
ples of .Mr. U 1 nonu ; especially those con
tainedin lis late address to the people of
the ladled 'States, upon the subject of Nulli
fication. They are unequivocally opposed to
- the claims which his friends have set up for
! him, to the iY.-sidcrry, arrayed as they are
against the rightful claims of Genera) Jack
son. No masi can he tlio friend of Jackson,
who directly or indirectly .gives aid or counte
nance to the most industrious, the most bitter
and the most talented of his op posers.
Therefore be it resolved by both branches of
the LegishUure, That they do not favor the
pretensions of Mr. Calhoun, either to the
Presidency or the Vice-Presidency of the
United St.gca, and that his Excellency the
Governor, be, and he is hereby respectfully
requested to furnish our Representatives in
Congress with copies of these resolutions.”
The words in italics in the preamble were
submitted by Mr. Cleveland, and were greed
to. The words do not in the resolution was
substituted by Mr. Daniel for “will in no
event,” and was agreed to.
On motion of Mr. Nesbitt to agree to the
preamble and resolutions as amended, the
yeas and nays w.ere called for, and were
unanimous —6s voting in the affirmative. Ho
that, Or once Troupers and Clarkcrs have
spoken in one voice !
SPECKS IN THE HORIZON!
During the pending of Mr. Mood’s resolu
";ons nominating Gen. Jackson, in the Senate,
on Thursday last, an exclWd and violent per
sonal controversy (of words) was carried on
between Mr. Wood and Mr. Daniel. We for
bear putting in type, the remarks of these
gentlemen : but our readers are informed that
there was almost the smell of gunpowder, and
its terrific consequences. It grew out of Mr.
Wood’s defence of his resolutions, fully setting
fortli the claims of Gen. Jackson, and the
reasons why he should receive the approba
tion and friendship of the Legislature; in
which he adverted (besidesmany other things
which the opposition had used to the preju
dice of the administration) to the recent dis
solution of the Cabinet—to some of the causes,
t&c. among which he said ihcrc was a Jlcletn,
and petticoats, concerned—besides there was
a direct allusion to the cx-Attornev General
in his remarks. It was this part of it, that
the Senator of Clv.tham, indulged in a free
play of words—and in reply, the Senator from
Mclntosh was equally acquainted with the.
use of harsh epithets. On the whole, it was j
altogether unlike the deliberations of “potent, 1
grave, and reverend soignors.” j
J. T. €';jis*p-
The charge.brought by this individual against
Judge Strong, in a late Columbus Democrat, is
one of the most unprovoked and unfoum.ed cha
racter. We are authorised to say from irrefutable
authority, that the facts of the case to which Camp
alludes, are simply these :
The two small drafts which Judge Strong drew
on Judge Shorter, was an ordinary transaction be
tween man and man and bail no earthly conncx.
ijU v.'iili the Bank case. On the contrary, the ac
commodation was asked for some time before the
case originated.. On that occasion Judge Lamar
presided with Judge Strong, and con. irred in the
opinion delivered, which has been published in
two papers, and will stand tlie test of the strictest
scrutiny.
It would be an act of supererogation on our part
to tell the people of Georgia,who or what is Chris
topher B. Strong. During a long, useful, and pa- j
triotic life, he has enjoyed and still continues!
meritoriously to enjoy their u .bounded confi
dence. He has ably vindicated and triumphant
ly protected their rights, both in the “tentedfield”
and in the judicial councils of the State—suc
cessfully arraying himself, against the ferocity of
the Indian savage as well as against the subtle
machinations of the wiley politician. Georgia
owes him a debt of gratitude, which she lias in
part repaid by the voluntary suffrage which she I
has invariably bestowed upon him.
But who is this lur. Camp, that charges one cf
our most inflexible patriots, incorruptible of ju
rists, and amiable of citizens, with malfeasance
in office ? For ourself we know not—but we
have a responsible voucher, who has furnished
us with the following scrap of living biography,
which may probably enlighten the public. Were
we to compare the portraitures of Judge Strong
and J.T. Gamp, we should only say, in the em
phatic language of Hamlet, “ Look on this pic
ture and then on tthins n
“ J. 7’. Camp, of Columbus, formerly resi
ded in Madison, Morgan county, where he
was accused of stealing, or embezzling money
of his employer, when acting as a bar keeper.
To the disgrace of the profession, lie was ad
mitted to practice law. A short time before
he left Madison and removed to Coltnnlms,
he was, by the respectable citizens of that
town, in a public meeting by resolutions
adopted by them, excluded from their society
for his base and infamous conduct.”
The reputation of public agents is the property
of the people—and when that reputation is un
justly assailed, il becomes tho duty of the people,
properly to resent and punish the outrage. It was
once asked of a distinguished Homan, “ which
is the best form of Government 1” “ That form
of government, (replied the stem patriot,) which
considers the slightest injury inflicted upon the
meanest citizen, as an insult done to the whole
Constitution.” With what more promptitude
then, should the people punish an injury attempt
ed to ho inflicted upon a mail, who, i the vari
ous public stations which have been conferred
upon him, has been characterized for his acknowl
edged abilities and inflexible integrity—a man,
wl)o may, without flattery, be spoken of as a ben
efactor of the State.
In his crusado against some of our most dis
tinguished public men, and against the Republi
cans of Georgia generally, Mr. Camp appears as
the champion of his party. How far he has suc
ceeded iu sustaining its pretensions to an honor
ahle mode of warfare, it is not for us to say. The
; people however, w ill not be slow in determining;
neither will they be backward in applying :i
j efficient remedy at the proper time and place.—
j They are not to be insulted with impunity in the
! persons of their official agents—agents who have
ably maintained their rights, as well as the honor i
and welfare of the State.
We have this momenteeen the last Columbus
Democrat, in which Mr. Camp says, it was “ his
wish that his communication should have been
published anonymosuly !" Unfortunate admis
sion ! For in making it Mr. C. unwittingly ac
knowledges, that it was his intention to have stab
bed in the dark, or to have avoided if possible, the
responsibility which his unwarrantable charges
have fixed upon him. This admission by indi
rection, aggravates the moral turpitude of Mr. C’s
conduct, and stamps it with unqualified reproba
tion.
FAYETTEVILLE SUFFERERS.
The following < rcular was politely put in
to our hands, by the gentleman to whom it is
addressed -
Fayetteville, N. C.Nov. 14, 1831.
To John llunteh, Esq. Macon Geo.
The undersigned have been deputed by
their Fellow Citizens, to lay before you the
annexed Statements, of the amount of the
Fund for the relief of the sufferers by the
desolating calamity of the 29th of May last,
and of tlie manner in which it has been dis
posed of. They submit them, with the hope, |
that the proceedings of those to whom the
distribution was entrusted, will meet with the
same approbation trom the donors, so cor
dially awarded to them by the recipients.
Another duty with which they are charged, !
cannot he so easily and so satisfactorily per
formed, The feelings with which they have
witnessed the spontaneous outsprings of the
benevolence of their Fellow Citizens, from
one end of this vast Republic to the other,
cannot he uttered. The accumulation of j
sucli a Fund as that exhibited by the sub-j
joined Statement, unsolicited by us, and com- j
ing, in great part, from those upon who.- the!
citizcosof our town had no claims hut those )
of suffering humanity and a common national j
origin, presents a spectacle honorable to the !
character of a great people, doubly grateful.to j
the feelings of the recipients, and calculated!
to impress us more deeply with a sense of j
the blessings of the happy Union under-which
we live, 1
,4s many of the contributors to this Fund
may ne v cr have an opportunity >f witnessing
the effects of their bounty, we cannot better
express our thanks, and those of the people!
whom we represent, than by faintly sketch-1
ing some of its blessings. The calamity with
which we were visited was of an appalling
extent. It swept from existence the fairest,
the richest, and by 'far the larger portion of
otn nourishing Town. It left poverty and de
spair where opulence and content had long
reigned. None altogether escaped its rava
ges: and few were left with ability to relieve
even the pressing wants of the suffering desti
tute. Under these circumstances were the
liberal hands of our countrymen opened ? and ,
the heart of the widow and the orphan was
made glad. Instead of the ruin which seem-!
ed to impend over so many, and to paralyze
their hopes,cc-.fidcnce and energy succeed
ed; and each one has been enabled again to
enter into the competition with his neighbors
for the emoluments of bis wonted vocation.
Extraordinary progress lias been made in re
building our town; and every thing wears the
appearance of activity and a determination to
rise with new vigor trom our ashes. To you,
and to those who united with you in this la
bor of love, is this happy state of things main
ly owing: and to you and to them we render
the homage of grateful hearts.
Be pleased to convey to the community
with which you are connected, our sense of;
the blessings they have, in part, conferred up
on us.—And that they may he spared from
all siiniliar visitations, is the earnest hope
of
