all we may justly claim, that they be received

—n a temper uninfluenced by resentment
either towards individuals or parties. If we
know ourselves ail minor considerations are
on this occasion entirely lost in the deepest
solicitude for the institutions, the peae and
the happiness of our country.
Resolved, That, although the Tariff law,
recently enacted, is a decided amelioration
of the system, we still Relieve that it will he
unequal in its operation, and therefore unjust
and inconsistent with the spirit of the Consti
tution. which demands that all public burdens
should he equitably apportioned amongst
those by whom they are borne.
Re solved, That we will employ all proper
means to free Ourselves from the anticipated
evils of the prospective tariff, but that we think
they have been greatly exaggerated; and
that some'of tile remedies proposed, would
he far more deleterious than the Tariff itself.
Resolved, That considering the doctrine,
of nullification false in theory, and believing
that in practice it would prove most disastrous
to our country, we will not give our votes to
any Candidates, either for Congress or the
States Legislature, who are advocates of that
doctrine.
Resolved, That a Committee of three be
appointed to ascertain by direct corresiiori
tlence with the Candidates for Congress, and
lor the Legislature from this County” what are
their sentiments in regard to Nullification,
and to publish such answers as may be re
ceived.
Resolved, That we disapprove the recom
mendation of the meeting at Athens, to ap
point Delegates to a State Convention, which
shall he invested with “ full powers to main
tain, preserve and defend the. rights and
privileges of the free Citizens of this State;"
hat the delegation of a power so broad and
unrestrained, would, at any time, be indis
creet, and at a moment of excitement like the
present, exceedingly dangerous.
Resolved, That it is advisable, for the pres
ent, to leave the subject of the Tariff to the
State Legislature, which can deliberately
provide, or recommend, some prudent and
definite mode of expressing the public will,
should such a measure be deemed expedient.
But that if the general prevalence of contra
ry opinions should render it proper for us to
concur in the election of Delegates, to the
proposed Convention, we shall make the ap
pointrnent with a protest against the authori
ty of any acts of that Convention, which are
not duly raided by the people of their respec
tive counties.
Resolved, That we have seen, with extreme
regret, the hasty and unfounded objections
which have been urged against our Senator
and Representative, Messrs. Forsyth and
Wayne, and that those gentlemen retain our
entire confidence in their patriotism, ability,
and zeal.
Resolved, That we respectfully recommend
tojour fellow citizens, generally, who coincide
with us in opinion promptly to adopt measures,
corresponding with our own, in their respec
tive counties, whether they find themselves
in a majority or a minority.
Resolved, That a Committee of three, to
vvit: be appointed for the purpose of causing
copies of these resolutions to he printed, and
distributed throughout the State.

TOWN* MEETING.
Macon, August 20, 1832.
At a meeting of a respectable number of
the citizens of this County, in compliance
with a previous call for that purpose, Mr. J.
Goddard was called to the chair, and M, D.
J. Slade requested to act as Secretary.
A committee was appointed to prepare
Resolutions expressive of the sense of the
meeting. The meeting adjourned, and
At a subsequent meeting of the citizens on
the 22d inst. the following preamble and
Resolutions were reported and adopted.
Our attention has been arrested hy the
published proceedings of a meeting of the ci
tizens of Savannah, at which it was Rr solved,
that they “ will not receive in their respii;-
tive business transactions, the notes of any
Bunk, but such as will he received on deposit
by the Banks of that City-— at such a discount
as will be fixed upon by the Brokers of that
place /” from the tone, and intention of which
resolution, wo have reason to believe, that a
spirit of iiliberality and hostility is entertain
ed (hy the persons who advocated the meas
ure) to the advancement and prosperity ofthe'
up country. We cannot but view with re
gret and astonishment this, attempt on the
part ofSavacnah, to make the commerce of
the West subsidiary to the avarice of her
Brokers and the undue speculation of her
Banks ! We repeat it; —We cannot hut re
gardsuch proceedings with startling surprise,
because the West, hut more particularly that
portion in which Bibb, and her adjacent coun
ties are situated, have hy throwing their valu
able, and astonishingly increasing staples in-
to the port of Savannah, supported and sus
tained her drooping prosperity, at a time,
when other qqprtevsof the State were desert
ing iicr Stores, Wharves and Ware-houses!
If this truth needs confirmation, a simple
statement of the quantity of cotton shipped
to Savannah, since the establishment of Ma
con v up to this period, would establish it he
yoi 1 the possibility of doubt. Under the
influence of emotions produced by the pre
ceding reflections, we consider an rr.depeml
unt expression of our sentiments, due toour
sclvcs, .'id as we think our opinions on the
subject ul'fke Savannah meeting, arc em
bodied and expressed in the succeeding resc.
lulions, they arc respectfully submitted for
yoi|f consideration.
"Therefore, Heeolced, That wo sinoerely
doprecate the pccoeaity that has called us to
gether; and that ti e regret which we expo
rience, is tendered more poignant and hitter,
when Wc remember that we aro assembled to
denounce (fie measure of those, upon whose
sympathies and friendship wo have heretofore
relied with unwavering confidence, Yes, we
feel the blow which has hern levelled at our
prosperity, with more than ordinary keenness,
hfcausi? it ha* been gtfuck hy our brethren;
ajjMMMgr
citizens of the same Stale. Cut these con
siderations, although, they are the irrepressi
ble dictates of nature, should not, an t must
not, induce us to bow in degrading submis
sion before the fratricidal oppressor.” On the
contrary it should enkindle our indignation,
and inspire us with a determined and inflexi
ble opposition to such unkind, ungrateful,
and ungenerous conduct.
( Rceohed, J hat the resolutions adopted by
the citizens of Savannah, in which they de
clare that they “ will not receive in their
business transactions the notes of any Bank,
hut such as will be received by the Banks of
that City; or at such a discount as will be
fixed upon by the Brokers of Savannah”—
are regarded by us as unjust in thrir spirit,
and destructive in their operation; in as much
as it will confer upon the Banks of Savannah,
the power of injuring or favoring certain
Banks in the interior, by refusing the notes
of some, or excepting those of others, as may
be3t comport with their interest or prejudi
ces, thus creating u monied aristocracy much
more injurious and dangerous to the stability
and security of financial regulations, than
the Lnited States Bank, which they have
laboured so unremittingly atid zealously to
destroy. Moveovcr, that we arc not quite
willing to have the soundness or unsouiidncss
of our Banking institutions established hv a
coalition ofSavannah Brokers, whosecupidity
will always lead them to underrate the value
ot the circulating medium, and so to regulate
the course of exchange between the two pla
ces, that their own pecuniary aggrandizement
will be secured, to the inevitable injury of
the planters and merchants of the interior.
Resolved, That we consider the proceed
ings of the Savannah Mooting, as hostile to
the general prosperity of the State, as having
a tendency to shackle its commerce—pros
trate its industry and enterprize, and to con
vert the notes of our Banks into common ar
ticleas of daily speculation,—thus shaking the
confidence ot the people m their paper, and
overthrowing every thing like fiscal regula
tions.
Rcsolved, That we arc determined te re
pel this encroachment upon our local rights
and interests, and that we will use ail fair and
honorable means to retaliate upon our iicr
cantile opponents ofSavannah, pledging our
influence as merchants and ottr integrity as
men, never to abandon our opposition, until
they recede from Uieir hostile and unjustifia
ble position.
Resolved, That entertaining :!ie utmost
confidence in the solvency, resources and
management of the Banks of Macon, Hawk
iiisviT.e, and Columbus, now in operation,
wc will so far as we are safe, shield and pro
tect them from the injurious influence which
interested and designing individuals may ex
ert against them; and especially we will
endeavour lo overcome and allay the suspi
cions already excited, m regard to these
Banks, by a late meeting of the citizens of
Savannah, on the sbjcct of them, and the sub
sequent sub of their notes at public auc
tion.
Resolved, That the merchants and citizens
of Columbus ami Ilnwklnsvillc, be requested
to hold meetings to co-operate \vith us in this
business, to such extent as their interests and
sense of justice may dictate.
It was resolved, That lljeo proceedings
ho signed 'ey the Chairman and Secretary, and
be published in the different papers.

Cclchraliosi ofthe birth day of
O’
A late National Intelligencer contains a very
interesting account ofthe proceedings at the din
ner on the 6th inst., given in Washington City,in
honor of the birth-day of the great Irish patriot
and orator, Daniel O’Connell. George Wash
ington P. Custis, Esq. presided, supported hy
Gen, Walter Jones as Vice President. The pro
ceedings arc highly interesting. We regret we
cannot give them entire. SR.-Custis spoke on
the occasion, in Jiis usual able and eloquent man
ner. His oration was deeply impressive and beau
tifully rhetorical. We scleot an extract from it,
(see last page) which will strongly appeal to the
sympathies ofthe reader, and at the same time
delight and instruct him.
We understand that rumor has asserted
that our fellow citizens Col. M’Dougald and
Doct. Collins, paid for the reserve opposite
Columbus in Bills of the Bank of Macon.
This is altogether unfounded; not one dollar
ofthe purchase money was paid in hills of
that Bank. Columbus Democrat,

“Lege totun f set vis scire Vim—Read all, if you
would know all.*’
F| VIE people of Georgia are much in want of a
" medium of intelligence which will promptly
transmit to them the “Proceedings” of their Le
gislature. We are not only generally, hut indi
vidually concerned in all acts of legislation, be
-9 ;iuse these acts involve personal as well as poli
tical rights, between which there exists a most, in
timate connexion. It is the interest then, of ev
ery man in the community to be timely acquaint
ed with the action of our representatives upon
these rights. This is a desideratum—to supply
which the Journal is intended. At the present
wo labor under much inconvenience for the want
ot it. For near, and sometimes more than three
months after the expiration of the Session, the
Laws of the State, with a few exceptions, are as
a “sealed Book” to the great mass of the people ;
and frequently, such arc ti e injurious e lects pro
duced by this delay, that men have been known,
who, in obedience to a preceding, have actually
violated a subsequent law which had been revel
ed or modified—not knowing that a new had been
substituted for amid law.
In addition to the entire proceedings of the Leg
islature, the Journal and History, will contain
the general intelligence of the day, and its inte
rest will be increased by faithful reports of the
transactions of the important Redress Conkn.-
tion of Georgia, which contemplates sitting in
Milledgeville, the ensuingsession. The Debates
in the Convention, as well as those in the Legis
lature, will be regularly aud correctly reported;
for which purpose arrangements are making with
a capable and experienced Stenographer.
The Journal aud History of the Times, will
be published daily, and the Legislative and Con
ventional Proceedings of each day laid in extenso
before the public on the subsequent morning, and
immediately transmitted to any part of the State
to which the paper may be ordered.
The large and interesting mass of information
which this Publication will contain, and the great
expense which must be incurred to carry it into
operation will require a liberal patronage, and
such a patronage the editor flatters himself will
be extended to him.
It is unnecessary to enlarge on the convenience
and- important utility of such a publication to
members ofthe Legislature, iu enabling them to
ascertain immediately the precise state of any
measure in which they ate interested and to keep
Iheir constituents ad vised of the progress of pub
lic business, without the abstraction ofHime and
attention from their special duties, expended in
letter writing.
Terms— 7 'he Journal and History of the Times
will bo published daily with a now type, by ma
chinery, to be expressly procured for the purpose
and on good paper, aud will be put t subscribers
; at the price of Five Dollars per session, payable
on the reception of the first number.
C Cj" Those to whom subscription lists will be
sent are respectfully asked to lend their exertions
and influence to the undertaking, and to make a
j return of any'subscribers which may he obtained,

A from and after the iOtli day of September
next, all those unsettled accounts and demands
that have been called for from ten to a hundred
times, and some too of 14 months standing, with
out reserve will be put in the hands of Oncers
for collection ; also, many email-demands ot short
standing—those I mean who feel indignant at a
dun, thinking if it is dc-tio in an ofiicer-like man
ner it will be more satisfactory to them, and less
trouble to me; and notwithstanding, many of
tl.-:se long-winded'gentry threaten me with tlm
loss of tlu-ir patronage, I will only remark that
nothing could be more congenial to my feelings
than the loss of that patronage which day by day
and step by s op would drag me to the red-house
under the hill—lu fact it lias become almost tho
order of the day, that when you ask for your mo
ney, you receive naught but insult, and it is not
unfrequent that you are laughed at, because your
bill is so small, some will very candidly tell you
that you arc too poor to keep a stable, when at tin*
same time it is such men keeping you out of your
money, that makes you poor. If any business
requires cash it is mine, and I have never known
a place, but this, that a credit was expected for
one hour, much less six months. The evil must
be remedied, or I sink, and sink I never will as
long as I have any thing to hold to, and I ant
tired of asking for it:
So hare it I may, but have it I must,
.dud if the law willgive.it me, doubtless its just.
So now I take my leave of the above-named
aud return my siucerc thanks to the good citizens
of Macon for their liberal patronage and prompt*
pay, without whioh hiy horses must’ve perished,
anil while I solicit a continuance of their patron
age, I will add, I shall he ever happy to servo
thorn iu the capacity I represent, and every care
shall he taken to promote their interest and com
fort and to render general satisfaction.

MONTHLY JOURNAL
OF
POLITICAL ECONOMY.
FT3HAT a taste for the study of Political Econo-
A my, as a science, is gradually extending iu
the United States, in every wflere exhibited, by
the attention devoted to that branch of it which
relates to commercial restrictions, by the number
of Literary Institutions in which Professorships
have been established for its promulgation, and
by the tact, that, within a few years, no less than
four editions of Say’s treat ise on Political Econo
my have been published in this country, and
sold. To cherish, and to administer to, this
taste, ought to be considered as an object well
worthy of the regard'of all those \yho desire to
set: the Legislation of the c.runtry, whether in the
Halls of Congress, or iu those of our State Gov
ernments, conducted with wisdom and skll: for
nothing is mor >clear than that Legislation is a
complicated is a complicated science, requiring
study and reflection, and not a mere gift of intui
tion.-
Nor is Political Economy limited to a simplo
question of a Tariff of Duties, as many persons
have hastily supposed. It ranges the wide field
of investigation which relates to Population, to
Internal Improvements, to Currency, to Coinage,
to Banking, to Exchange, to Exchange, to Fi
nances to the Administration of the Puor-La\vs(
and to many other public concurs—-especially
those which aro connected with Agriculture,
Commerce, and Manufactures—and touches so
closely-upon all the pursuits of life, not even ex
cepting the humble but important one of domestic
economy, that it may be justly entitled the science
which teach the rules to in ike families, as well
as communities, prosperous and happy. Unfortun
ately, in the United States, circumstances have,
of late years, occurred, to create a prejudico
against this science; and, consequently, to pre
vent that general attenlion to its study its
importance merits. Such prejudice, however,
uniat, sooner or later, he dispelled—and the day
is probably, not very distant, when Politjcal
Economy will become a branch of popular educa
tion ; being, as it is, eminently adapted to pro
mote the welfar of the human face.
ltoan hardly bo doubted, that, to the existence
of this prejudice is duo, in a great degree", the
very limited number of European works on Po
litical Economy, w hich ha.to been republished in
this country. The English press has produced,
and is constantly producing, works, in pamphlt
fortn, or iu small volumes, upon the various
braticoes of the science, which do not reach mot
■ban a.dozen or twenty individuals, perhaps, i.\
the United Stales, who have standing order.-
aproad for their traamission. Matty Xf these
works are of a high order, and contain maltcr a.
Useful te ait American reader as to an English
otto; but no publisher oilers to put them to* tl,
jiross, because a sdtfielsnt number of subscriber*
cannot readily be found to warrant tho expenses
of publication.
It is mainly with the view of laying before tho
American Public the class of works which We
allude, tiiat toe publication now offered to the
community has been projected ; and'hi respect
fully inviting tor it the patronage of our fellow
citizens, we submit to them the following
TER M S :
I. The Journal of Political Economy will bo
published monthly, and will contain," upon an
avcrujre,^ 9o pages octavo, printed upon paper of
the quality and size usually employed for tho
Reviews, making a semi-annual volume ef 48t)
pages, including an Index. It is said upon an.
average, because, in some cases, the length of a
publication may occupy more than 80 pages ; and
rather than divide it into two, a greater number of
pagos will be used; iu which case, the foliowidg
publication will contain a less number.
It will be chiefly devoted to such foreign
pamphlets, treatises, lecture!*, and other publica
tions, upon -.lie various branches of Political
Economy, as may be disltng’.iislted for their
superiority, and tosuch notices of tlie larger class
of books, as may enabled the American reader
to become acquainted with all the important
woAs which may appear abroad.
.f. The subjects ol flanking and Currency, will
receive particular attention in the selections;
and, as an earnest of this promise, the Editor in
tends to give, in the earliest numbers of the Jour
nel, the celebrated Report of the Bullion Com- .
mitlee, made to Parliament in the year 1810, and '
the masterly work of Mr. liuskisson, entitled
“ The Question concerning tho Depreciation of
our Currency, stated and examined,” published
in that same year.
f>. The lirst No. will appear on the first day
of January next. The price will be Hive Dollar*
per annum, payable on receipt of the first num

scription will be taken for a less term than one
year.
