have received a lesson, however, that

that instead of an army ot 0,001) men,

officers sufficient for 12,00!) men, t e ex

less than double the amount of oar pres

We give below tin- Proclamation oj
Null if catdm, w inch was resolved on by
Messrs. Calhoun, Hayne and McDuffie,
in conjunction with Governor iiaiiilton,
iong before the adjournment of Congress,
in the liegmnmg of the session Mr. Hayne
manifested by the projHisition lie made
for a gradual annual reduction of 10 per
cent on the unprotected class and 15 per
cent, on the protected class of articles
embraced in the Tnritf, that he was then
guided by the feelings of a patriot. His
ierins of compromise met with cordial
co-opt ration from thcadiiiinistralion, and
were more than realized Ivy the bill final
ly passed by a majority in Congress, many
of whom made a sacrifice of ilieir own
opinions of policy-, to the cause of concil
iation.
But the leading nuUificr saw that he
had gone too far to recede. The princi
ples which he had vowed against the I
- forever banished all hopes of suc
ceeding to the high honor, for which Ins
ambition prompted him, too* gerly and
too anxiously to press. In leaving the
chair of the V ice President, he sees noth
ing before him but an immediate descent
to the obscurity, which awaits all those
:.* this country, who seek by crooked and
msidiious policy to attain, that which can
only he won by private worth and public
services. The visions winch he hoped to
realize by means of the corrupting sys
tem, tin Banking system, and internal
improvement system, fed by the enormous
direct tax obtained by a tariff, disguised
-as a protection for Americans ilustrv,
were taken from'hun by the superior en
ergy and ability of Ins rival Mr. Clav.—
11 is treachery to the President, and the
democratic cause* with winch he is iuden
titied, extinguished all hopes of maintain
ing his elevation upon thpatriotic princi
ples u’lncii have given success to .our go
vernment and its eminent votaries. And
nothing was before him lint a retreat to
Boutli Carolina—an effort to sever that
Suite from the Union, with the prospect
of rendering it the uucleusol' anew con
federacy, fotin led in opposition to tlie
principles which he muted with Mr. Clay
in originating.
Mr. liayne lias been persuaded by him
that all South Carolina’s Statesmen, like
himself, will, in the failure of the scheme
of Nullification, be put under the ban of
the other States, fie has made all her
great orators feel that the prospects of
their umhitiou are to lie lost in obscurity
and oblivion, if they he not themselves
rendered infamous, like Burr, by a bafiicd
attempt against the integrity of the Union
They have, therefore, resolved to place
their hope of redemption from disgrace,
upon their ability to drive their State into
open hostility- against the Federal Gov
ernment, and hope to crown themselves
with the honors of success m effecting a
separation of tie Union, and carrying off,
under tiie banners of a Southern League,
all the Stat s south of the Potomac.—
They have now thrown of ail disguise
and openly invoke the people of South
Carolina "'to turn from their misguided ru
lers, and rely on themselves and their t» ud."
U’e pray to Heaven they may turn from
misguided rulers " If they should, they
will never he so misguided as to believe
that a reduction of six or seven millions,
on all the articles in common use in the
manufacturing and agricultural States,
was an increase of the burthens of the
hitter. They would never consider such
a general relief from the taxes complained
of, as adding "insult to injury," nor would
they be induced iiy the preachers of the
crusade against the Union, to join hi their
attempt "to nullify or arrest the operation
of its la cs."
It seems, however, that the strength of
our institutions is to undergo anew trial
—and we hope that every patriot will lake
to himself the Roman cliargi —to see that
the Commonwealth receives no detriment ;
and hear in mind tiie maxim —Never to
despair of the He pub lie. The country
may congratulate itself that the fortunate
Patriot is at the head of the Government,
w ho has pledged himself that "the Union
shall be preserved .”

the Tariff' laws” as recommended l»y the
Nulliliers of South Carolina, and Geor
gia, a series of resolutions, was then of
fered by Major Robert Mitchell, who en
forced their policy and propriety, and ex
posed the dangerous heresies of nullifi
cation hi a lengthy address to the. ineet

cated by the Hon. William 11. Underivoi and
—after which, the doctrine of Nullifica
tion was avowed by .Mr. James W. Jones,
who endeavored to justify it by many ar
guments founded upon a minute detail of
the duties imposed upon various articles
of import. Other resolutions, as a sub
stitute to Major Mitchell’s were then sub
mitted and supported hv David C. Neal,
Esq. The question was first taken on tin*

-
mins oi late too plum to be mistul.cn, of
an intention to force tiie dangcro s doc
trines ot nullification on the good people
of Georgia, under die plausible pretext of
an opposition to the laws of Congress,
usually denominated the Tarifflaws—anti
whereas, we believe tins doctrine, if car
ried into practical opera? ion, must produce
a dissolution of the Government, bring on
all the horrors ..f a civil war, introduce
the confusion of anarchy—-and must fi
nally end in despotism.
1. Resolved therefore, That we are
wholly uid unconditionally opposed to
the Tmyff or protective system, and that
w e will as freemen, and as patriots, em
ploy all our means and energies, consis
ti nt with the integrity, perpetuity and du
ration of our happy, free and beloved
country, to accomplish its abolition.
2. Resolved, That we are uncondition

3. Resolved, JHiat we consider the dis

Perry, Houston county, August 21, 1832.
In pursuance of public notice, n re
spectable number of the citizens of Hous
ton county, friendly to the election of An
drew Jackson aud Philip Pendleton
Barbour tor the offices of President, and
Vice President, assembled at the court
house tins day for the purpose of nomina
ting a Delegate to the Barbour Conven
tion to be held in Macon on the socoud
Monday m September next, when George
Tamil Esq. was called to the Chair, and
Johin M. Castain appointed Secretary.
The meeting having been openea and
the object stated by Arthur A Morgan,
Esq. the I’nllowmgfpreamble and resold
turns were, <m his motion, unanimously
adopt eel
Whereas, we have learned, w ith much
regre , 4i it the Republican Party through
out the Union, are divided in their choice
ofa suitable candidate for the office of
Vice President, and knowing it is our du
ty as the ohl and consistent advocates of
Andrew Jackson, to make known our
feelings upon his important subject, and
to give some of the reasons for the prefer
ence and choice which we make in select
ing Pluiiji Pendleton Barbour as the most
suitable candidate for the office of Vice
President in lieu of Martin Vanßuren the
rejected ftliuisler and nominee of the Cal
timore Convention. We are compelled
to state, if we remember well, Philip
Pendleton Barbour, so long as we have
known him by character in the councils
of the nation, has been a consistent re
publican of the Jeffersonian order. He
has uniformly advocated the just claims
of the South in opposition to the Northern
monopolists, and by his votes in public life
always adhered to a strict construction of
the federal compact. For these reasons,
sufficient in themselves, when used in op
position t the claims of artinVanßure
to that distinguished appointment.—We
| beg leave, as Jackson men, as l mon
j men, and free men of the South, to pro
j claim our choice of Philip Pendleton
j Barbour for the office of Vice President
Therefore resolved: That Janies M.
i Kelly lie appointed a Delegate from this
| mooting to represent our washes in the
contemplated Barbour Convention to he
! held at Macon on the second Monday in
September next.
Resolved further: That the proceed
ings ol this meeting he signed by the
Chairman and Secretary, and published

Speaking of the proceedings of the
Athens and Oglethorpe meetings, the
Richmond /’inquirer sot/s;
“It is impossible not to see that these
i movements in Georgia are calculated to
; inspirit the Nullifiers of S. Carolina: and
! to push them on in the course they are
now pursuing. But no man can yet know,
what course Georgia herself will take,
w hether she will call a Convention, or
wliat measure they will adopt. Suppose,
however, the worst; suppose Georgia
should be disposed to march imdet the
I limner of Mr. Calhoun, and heedlessly
to rush into nullification; w hat then ( We
mu t struggle to save the Union.
As for North Carolina and Virginia,
hey wdl prolmblv bate an important part
'o oliiv in til's palitie .i «lr mm. It ' ecuin s
bein to ; *e coal is **ell as rm. V- for
•be Old Dominion, wo can scarcely be
mistaken in the course she will adopt, j
She is devoted to the sacred cause of
State Rights. Slit: has maintained them
since the adoption ot the present Govt rn
ment. She saved tiie Constitution in T>D.
She has watched the vestiil flame from
that moment to this; and bore aloft the
banner of State Rights, alone and unaid
ed. Site ’‘never dispaired of the Repub
lic”—and through good report and thro’
evil report, she has been true to her prin
ciples—unmoved by the sneers mid unliv
ed by the oppositions, of every other
Stat«—ves, every State, and South Caro
lina herself the bitterest among them. —
She is true to them still, and she liiexEs
to defend them. She is opposed to the
Bank, and she means to oppose it. She
is opposed to tin* corrupting system of
Internal Improvements, and she means
to oppose it. She is opposed to the n
liominajde Tariff system and she w ill op
pose it until it is shivered into pieces,
piece by piece. She has taken the late
Tariff bill, because it is belter then the
Tariff of ’23. But she protests against
it as embracing any settled policy o! the
country. She protests against its recogn
izing nnv protective principle at all.
She has gone against the oppressive and
unconstitutional principle; and she will
go against it, until private industry shall
become free, and the burthens of Govern
ment shall he equalized as far as possible
among the several States. As far as we
could understand her wishes, we think
she wasTnixious to have a clause engraft
ed upon the bill, providing for a succes
sive, gradual, but sure reduction of the
Tariff from year to year, hut she was
baffled in her wishes—and we undertake
to say as far as we know* the sentiments
of her citizens, they will still prosecute
that object, and he content with its adop
tion. it has been said indeed that the
majority have determined to fasten this
Tariff upon us a permanent measure —
Virginia will then speak ; and speak in a
voice that shall not he misunderstood :
aye, and she will act too.

States; and further to ask your accept

your inends. 'i lie tune to ho arranged
to suit your convenience.
The prominent act in discharge of your
official duties to which we rcicr, in the con
veyance ot the sentiment oi out fellow
ciliz* os—was your independent, judicious
amt patriotic vote, on the “Act of July,
1832, to alter and amend the several acts
imposing duties cm imports.”
This vote is considered as exhibiting
the highest evidence ot j our attachment
to the Union, with opposition to a system
of which your constituents complain, viz:
the Protective or American Sjstem, aud
furnishing the proof that in the fair, open
and peacelul ground of argument, the
question is only to lie ir.et in discussion
before the Representatives of the Amer
ican People for its constitutional and e
quitahle adjustment.
W e repeat the sentiment of our fellow
citizens, when we say, we consider your
course consistent with the prmtiples you
advocat) and, which no* involved in the
prosperity ami perpetuity of our Institu

inter**-ts of Georgia.

My efforts have been directed to ,!es< rvo
the confidence of all my constituents ; but
a portion of them having misapprehend

by my fellow-citizens of Clmtluitn, be

my warmest giatitude Given as it has
been, by a community having «u enlight

county and our state, conversant with
their political condition and connexion,
aud with the best means of preserving
them in unimpaired efficiency for poster

southern rights, at.d w hich have had for

1 may have, or shall acquire, to the pub

Yon arc right, Gentlemen, in saying,
that the vote w Inch you commend, exin
hits attachment to the Union ad my
opposition to the protective system. 1
knew there was among ourselves a justi
fiable excitement against it, and that we
had complained and remonstrated, as a
people and a sovreign State, that the sys

its operations, J knew also, if the last
session of Congress should he t< munated
w ithout any modification of the Tariff*, ill
some of those particulars, which bore
most heavily upon the plantation states,
and without an alteration to graduate fu
ture revenue to the most economical ai ti*
equation of national wants—-to wh t ex
tent the excitement already existo _ in
Georgia might he inflamed in the bosom
of a warm hearted and patriotic people,
operated upon by the r« c llectio is oi unre
quited forbearance, and sMnolnti and bv the
artifices of an cxti rnal ambition, industri
ously seeking, and which has been long
contriving to convert the common suffer

without a single other cominnu ■. of
principle, which G< orgiaus lu lievt should
limit the powers ana legislation o! tiie
General Govrninent—into one political
union or party, for more retno'e ends
than the redress of Southern grievances,
And this too—it the longings ol that aim i
tvon shall have only indefinite t opis of
gratification—without regarding the i cy
perateness of the remedy it shall propose
for Southern wrongs, the permanent im
press it may make upon our constitution
and upon tin character of our people and
its embarrassing effects upon an adminis
tration, which is with us, avowedly in the
principle of reducing our impost revenue
into an entire equality ol effect upon all
interests; mid an administration, to
whihich Georgia is already more indebted,
nnd is to he still further—more i .uehreff,
than to any oilier, since the foun m
of our Government, in the exis ing state
