PROSULC I Li , l\jr publishing at Columbus, Qua Coliticiil and Miscellaneous Xewsptiper, be entitled the DEMOCRA _i ! . In presenting to too pu i* nis Pros pectus fir u new paper at Columbus, the subscriber does not deem it necessity or expedient to go into a minute detail of Ins political doctrines, or of his particular views in regard to the various topics which Dow engage public attention. lie pie sumes that his character as an editor is too well known in Georgia to allow him to gain credi among any party, with mere professions and empty promises. The public will bo apt to look to the past in lor nuug their estimate of the fuluie, and by tint ordeal is he willing to be tiled. In tile numerous political discussions, which the events of the and iy have Called forth, ins opinions of uitiii and ihiugs nave been free ly expressed, and aie doubtless familiar to mauy of those to whom he now looks for patronage and support. Those who have hitherto approved of his sentiments aud been satisfied with the manner in which lie ha* urged them, will, he trusts, still con tinue their confidence, wiihoui the renew at of pledges, or a formal confession of faith. In reference however to the present Statu of parties, he begs leave to rentara, teat he trusts the absence of all political excitement, will prove propitious to the came of irutn; and that now all parties, by whatever names they ni iy have been dis tinguished, will be permitted to labor for the general welfare, unobstructed by the jealousy, or the rancor of by-gonu feuds. The undersigned will endeavor to extend Still further this cordiality of feeling, and to allay the occasional symptoms ot exacerb ation to which a warmly contested election <j‘«u ■*!*»•»j ii, riaic. nrli iluvcir else tie may undertake for the purpose of advancing the prosperity of the state, he v ill count ou the cordial co-operation of every good citizen, however they may have previously differed on points of polit ical fntli. Attached to the doctrines of the Revolu tion, and holding in high veneration the memory of those heroes and sages by whom our liberties were achieved, and our present admirable form ol government es tablished, the subscrioer will endeavor to inmi£ si the sincerity of his proft ssious, by exciting a feeling of attachment to the Union, and encouraging an entire confi a- uce in the institutions of our country. He will inculcate the doelrina that it is better to bear a slight and temporary evil, against which we have a constitutional remedy, than to hazard all fsr which our fathers tought and so many martyrs labor ed and bled. He will not in any respect, overlook or disregard the rights or the in terests of his own statu; yet he must always view particular rights and interests, as re latively connected with others, and lie wifi never consent to the sacrifice of a greater for a lesser good. The subscriber will endeavor to make The Democrat a vehicle of general ■ntelli geuct, and hi interesting periodical to the gentleman of literature, the agriculturalist the merchant and the mechanic.

And seeing all this, we have rejoiced that it is the g UV ernment ol our choice. On the other hand, weh.vrf huen involved in great embarrassments, by the refiactory and unconstitutional proeee d,ni’* «C 'be s'ates In the very war which raised the character of the gen , government, so much in the cnr.fi lence arid affections of the people; the refusal of the Governor . f one of the E .stern States to obty the call „f the President, threaten ed to throw the coiintrv into the most alarm tng condition; to paralyze the very arm to "iticri we all looked for protection. Rest assured, then, the general government is noj an object of dread. Our ancestors did not create it to he an object of terror >o J.ie p fipjt $ Imt “to Sf*f»irß tho of !' b ' ; "y *° themselves and their posterity." I hey reared it as a dgrable morinme, : t, which should carry their tames, in glory to fii’ure ages They wi'l not be deceived! As long as there shall he a heart to feel for freedom, and a head capable of un derstanding its principles, those who or ganized the general government will he hal lowed as the wisest of statesmen and tho best of patriots. And l im well assured that the government they created, will n-f he the less evincive of the wisdom f its framers, because it den .rts from the nrinci ple of a mere confederacy. 1 shall show that its admirable balance can ho jeopard, zed only by the eccentric and centrifugal tendencies of the State. Q.»* 1 -'ll ** nr .Ji-,* » views, tending to shew rhnt the fears yoo profess to entertain, that the general gov ernment will prostrate the State S 'vereign lies, are wholly unfounded either in the na ture of things, or the history of nations That there is in reality, no such danger will tie apparent to any at all fn.nilliar with the history of human ambition, who will at tentively consider ihe nature of the pow er* which, under our federative system, f ll t the share of the state governments For it can be cortclusivo'y shewn, 'hat these constitute precisely the class of political powers til it has the least attractions for am bition, and which even the most desontic gr vernm nts, possessing extensive teriito ties, Have voluntarily thrown off as inglori ous incumbrances, and committed to local or provincial authorities. The powers of the state governments are limited to those moss ires of local recrtiiati.m which, taken together, constitute the internal police of the respective states. They establish rides of properry: fix and dr flue the riehts of per sons; and provide for the security of both by appropriate rivil remedies, and rrimioal sanciions administered and enforced by their judicial tribunals. The subjects em braood within the scope of those regulations, though highly important in the estimate of national happiness, have nothing of that imposing and attractive splendor, which can dazzle the minds of ambitious rnlprs. Cast your eyes into history, that bloody record of the sufferings of the people, and the sins of their rulers. Survey with atten tion those mighty waters, through which ambition has held its lofty career, end in which he lias reared his proudest and hlo diest trophies. And when vou have done so, consult the record to ascertain the ob jects'hat stimulated, and the means that facilitated those mighty and desolatine a chievements. Was that ambitious conquer or, who waves his iron sceptre over the trembling and subject nations that have \iel tded to the terror of his arms, stimulated in his bloody march by a desire to regulate the domestic police of the conquered pa pons ? Was it the power of fixing and defining the individual and private rights of his subjects, that furnish the means of agrandieementj, No lie was stimulated by higher, though less worthy aims, and sustained by mightier means. These I shall presently consider. The states are constitutionally restrained from “ entering info any treaty; alliance, or confederation; granting letters of marque and reprisal; and also from “laying any duty of tonnaee; kee ping troops or ships of war in lime es peace; entering into any agreement or cor. pact with another state, or with a foreign pow er, or engaging in war unless actually inva ded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay; without the consent of Con gtess. ’ The powers if tiie state govern ments, then, are not only limited in their operation, but essentially pacific in their nn nire From all “ the pride, pomp and Olt . umstances of glotions war;*’from all the* class of political actions, in short, whicl COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MORJfING, DECEMBER n, IS3O. furnish the most interesting tl. m.s of l.isto ty, and attract in their rrciul, he nlirilis cx. lusive attention of the mass of .a ankimt, the state* are absolutely and wisely ex, Id- LC'l. When, . therefor*, we consider die nature (if ambition; when we r-fi-d that it is desirous of perforating those actions, only, w-uc.i Insto.y records with i.A bitgli t. st and most enduring colors, and nil Hi us behold with tlie highest admiration, the f- l ly of the apprehension that the general g. v erinneiit will subvert the government of the stales, is must strikingly appmMil. But still more strikingly appari nt will be the folly of such an appieinusion, when ve come to compare the powers, which have been clearly and. unequivocally d»leg,.td to the g'Uetal govcrmi.e.iit, with .huso ' V{,un it can acquire by encroachments uu the state authorities. By the express letter "I tut! I\ itional Charter, Congress has power "to lay and Collect rises, dut.es, , tIl . post, and excises; ’ to “ declare war,’ to “raise and support ai minx,’ and M “pro. vide and niai.tairi a navy,"— I’u. s« poa ors are granted in tho most gen.nl and utt limited terms. Upon the disrption of Congress in "laying and culleciise taxes,” and m “raising mid supporting armies,” there are no rcsuictiuns but ibftse imposed by nature, t oi.gross may pu-h these p< w eis to tin* utmost Verge indicated by (lie physical capacity of tho countiy. They may, upon the slightest occasion, and fur the most unwise, improvident, and wicked o ds, draw from the people (of the ‘state-’ 100 !) the turn st farthing tltai , m bn spur e-i from then suffering families, to fill the national coffers; ,nd call «ut the last man that can be sp ned front laising the neces saries of life, to fill |ip n,.tional armies and fight the battles of ambitious rulers. And all tins, hewevei in. xptdieof, unjust and ty .aunical, they’ can do, wi.hout tif.nscendiug tlie limits ol their constitii’innul <«utli€.ii,v. The general government is thus invested, (safely and Constitutionally invested) with unlimited command over the purso and sword of the nation; those mighty and re sistless iusttuments of lawless ambition and encroaching p-.>wei;*hnd yet the very rulers in whose h mds these tremendious engines tie harmless to the people, and terrible on ly to their enemies, are held up aud .h --uounced by a our warning voices, as the depredators tipou the more peaceful, iorfii fieri!, and utiaUr ictiVe powers of tiie state i it verunieuls.

It one of you .v re to trust a madman with a b.oad-gword, nd yet be alarmed least ne should arm i himself with a weapon to attack y u liy tu vaditig your wife’s pincushion, your f- a.s would not be mur>- ridiculous, nor your m cousitency more palpable. Be ass mod it is not in tlie couise of ambition to descend, j for “iu its p.oper motion ’ it “ascends.”! The supreme judiciary of a state would j hardly bo iticiined to u.urp jurisdiction o- j ver the class of cases that fall wifhin the j exclusive ami humble jurisdiction of a com mon magistrate. Ab.uactedly considered, power bus no allurements, it is only de sirable from its imposing associations. I will now proceed u> cut.firm ihe lore- • going course of reasoning, by lilustraiious drawn from our own expe.ieuce as a nation, and from the history ot other na« ; turns. From obvious considerations of policy, tiie framers of the federal coitstiiutioo vested in the National Congress unlimited -t;id ex clusive powers ol legislation over whtievei district of country snoulJ become tiie seat of tiie National Government, if Congress had that voracious appetite for local tegula tion which you seeur to imagine, they have heie an opportunity to indulge it; tor, as to the District of Columbia, they have precise ly those powers in then fullest extent which they are charged with wishing to tt surp Irotn the state governments. Yet, not withstanding the small extent of the teritory, which renders incomparably more conven ient and practicable for Congress Ur super vise its conceens than it would be to super vise those of the stales; and although they have peculiar inducements, from its being the seat of legislation, to give it a wise and wholesome police ; yet the fact is notorious .that its affiiis have been so much neglected, that it is almost derelict and without gov ernment And as a proof of the indiffer ence, and even aversion of Congress to ex ercise tiie miuor powets of which I have been speaking, a proposition has been seri ously citlert iued by that bodv to abdicate government there, atid return to the people of the District of their original pow er of or ganizing « government sot themselves. Upon the same piinciple die several state governments are in the constant piactice of delegating, by acts of legislation, an tlagous portions of liie'r power, to city and counlty corporations. Aod it cannot fail to strike every dispassstonate inquirci, that the rea sons why it is convenient and burdensome for tbe slate legislatures to superuteud the affairs of the city, are exactly tho same with those that would reuder it dcsirahe for the general government to rid themselves of the powers of the state governments, eveu if already invested with them. An illustration of the sant" truth may be intuit trout the history of Great Biitian, htle these state* were her dependent col ouies. The British government stood to the colonies in the relation ».f a de.-uolic power, iiiasm.ii it as tlie colon oa i. of ~ (J . re*“nr.Mive in'any of its a- parim.mts ; yet me Monarch of that country so fei L .>m ...- sui .g lli-d il.egnvui i.meiu tl.eie shot.l in t ulate tlie internal .ffiirs »- f tlie c-.mics, (granted Ri mers, by which tfi«- coion.st were In many instance s', pernilUcd to elect tho:* | "'ii legislatures, for tlie n’gulaii. n id such jaf.irs. And when the British Ministry, ! hr their unwise and oppressive meusuia-s, j alien .ted the affeclions of the coloms’s and ! disn.einhered ilie.r empire, n w is Hot by at tempting to usurp tiioso pownx of domestic regulation, which ii is pretended Cungiess will esurtr fro.n the states; but L>y aile.npi ing to ra.se a revenue from the colonies, a power udich Congress undoubtedly pos sesses ever the-states or what is mom, the people of [lie states. So far, then, as JaU iljpsirttion is nutlioiiiy . Congress are in die full fruition of the only powers ihat they w mld be inclined to usurp ltnni the slates. If you ever read history, it might not be - for you to look into the govein nents of triose countiies ’.vliere despotism r. tgns in the most un< q-iivocaf fi>rnis. You will find the same principles opt. uting there also.— Tho anc.eut Kings of B. rsi* dtshtird. tied themselves from th» c-.rus <d local guvern nr-bt, by delegating these functions to loyal satraps, who itiled over the provincs with an almost unhm'ted discretion, bill were bound under the hlocdiest r»s,iousiOiliiy to pay over to the King a retrain sum as the nett proceeds >f 'iifc provincial trvenua.— The same principle prevails to the pieseni despotism of Tuakey. And in the exten sive empire ot Russia theie are ntanv prov inces that have scarcely ever beeu vented by a solitary ray of unpeii .1 power, They are permitted to appoint then own ieauets and to manage their own internal concerns in their own way. Aud when they coniri bu.t men ptupui udui vo vt.u imperial tieas •try and army, tuny raise the revenue by offices of their own appointment, and send 'the ti.-ops under the command ot tlit ir own officers From tiro foregoing example it is appar ent, ihai if govern nents are fond ol power, they are aiso fond of ease. That they artj unwilling to be incumbered with functions tint can add nothing to their splendour and glory, aud are constantly eudeuvoiiimg to get rid of the trouble of gnver ing their provinces, colonies or other subdivisions of their extensive n ri .tones ; res- rvinp only to iheinselv- , ’lt’ tlidiinited poaer of draw lug men iiul money from their subordinate govei nine ms, ,v j.ower which Congress can ex rcise directly upou tlie people ol tlie stab s, iu opposition to the w ill o; the goc mentsf <f lire stales. If| ■f*- ■ -*« • uua vuvia *niU| j x*»j tUII* tiuue to dread the extinction of tlio state 'governments m one great consolidated em pire, 1 must for the present, give you up as incurable; 111 the hope, however, of produ cing some effect hereafter, by showing that there are dangers much more imminent and alarming, to be apprehended from an oppo site direction. That the real danger, which it demands all thc> wisdom and putiiodc vigilance of the Amelia tit stiiesm tit, to obviate, proceeds from the centrifugal tendencies of the states, was the doctrine invariably held by the fra tiers of tlio federal constitution And I wish distinctly and emphatically to impress it upon you, dial at die very era ol the con stitution, w lieu the tine ‘ principles of the revMutiou” burned with a living and holy fervour in the bosoms of those who had breasted the rudest sit ck- of die ri volu tionary war: V\ ashinqt n, Wadis- k and llaiiilT- n, ere (he It.m .fid inusieily sup poiieis ■! this very doctrine* The vi, vis tit the tw«< fast named statesmen hiu recorded in “ The Federalist, ’ that able ami unan swerable commentary, on the'federal con stitution; which is noiv almost universally received as the standard of politnal ortho doxy. And nis the most extraordinary thai iu your effected “ rerun once to funda mental principles,” you have entirely over looked tiie opinions and commentaries of the friends and authors of tnat constitution which will stand amidst the rvrcck of em pires as an imperishable monument of their wisdom; and have b ised yourselves upon the visionary fears and dismal forebodings of those who weie opposed to it. Wnether 1 am to understand that you aie at tins day not only oposed to the administration, but me constitution of our govoruuient, and w ish not only to change our rulers, but m destroy tint constitution; or that you suppose that the opponents of that instrument tinders! md its principles better than its authors-, I con fess lamat a loss to determine. For if you are sincere in your professions of at tachment for the “principles ol the revolu tion/ and if the federal constitution, and uot acting a part in a great political mm cpj vte; if you are honesilv seelting for the truth of piinciples, and not for the means of individual aggrandizement ; to what oracle* could you have applied so likely To gave \ < u an unerring nspdose, ■ s the immortal pat riots and statesmen whose names I have just mentioned? But with an infelicity which seems to be your peculiar cbarnrtei istic, you place your pi incip and reliance upon those opinions of Patrick Henry, which by your own,admission, lie himself renouuc ed, after experience had dispelled the de lusions by which his warm imagination had boon carried away 1‘ eiermttnte. It. w ev er, any further remarks on ihe question of authority, I will endeavor to slo w by ar guments drawn as well fiom the ‘ fuuda mental principles'’ of genuine tepresenta live republicanism, as from our actual ex perience, tbs’ we have more cause of ap prehension from the states than fiom the gone ia! go vet ume at; ur, in other words, VOLUME rl.tSi M/vJ !
