Jl,of at the Theatre. —It being announced in Hie hills of Friday, that Governor Houston j v.mil ! attend the Theatre in the evening, and Hie weather being peculiarly pleasant, a ver\ iarge audience iiad assembled at eight o clock, fj he play had progressed to the seepnd act, ■ [when dr. Houston, accompanied by some gen-j! Ileincu of this city, arrived, and took (possession ir.f the (Von box. Iwo persons, w hose names kvo arc proud not to know, seated in the second,! i,ox on the right, immediately begun to hiss; r genera! uj roar was the consequence, and the imsincss of the stage was suspended, the actors 'Mi las ness.-s, excepting tlie manager, rearing , -F hind the \vintis. Cries of “ Turn him out,” Out with the d —d scoundrel,” “ Female puri lv,” and “ the Veto,” now resounded from the |i dit wing of tie - boxes: the ladies left the house in alarm, the friends ot Mr. Houston and the fivers of good order, pressed to ’he box occu pied bv the unoffending object of ihc excitement, ,j kle.eniiined, us far as in their power, to protect :■ liim from iusidt and abuse, and the fhcatre be- 1 fame one general scene ot contusion. Mr. Caldwell, the manager, after several ineffectual in tempts to obtain silence, addressed a few words |o the audience, which were lost amidst dis cordant culls of “ Out with Houston, “ turn put I lous'on, and the play may go on. These, accompanied with hisses and cat-calls, com pletely drowned the Manager’s voice : and a jii -moustration seemed to be making in the box-. for a general attack on the box ot Mr. llous-| lon. In this situation of affairs several of that ;1 beiitlcniun’s friends endeavored ‘o obtain a hear-i| jug, but with very ill success, only a very few •of their remarks nice.ing the ear. Mr. Houston, w ho, throughout the whole eve- Sting, appeared perfectly calm and collected, Slaving obtained a nionien’. s silence, addressed n few remarks to the audience, appealing as a jptrangcr, to their hospitality and patriotism, lie .- ressed his deep respect for the charac ter of lie citizens of Ohio —said he felt proud in ■the recollection of having fought and bled inde-i [fence of his eouiury, in the war ol Ibl’J, when Lis companions in arms were soldiers ot Ohio : j that he had at ended the Theatre upon the spe cial invitation of the Manager, and he was ex it mitely sorry his presence should occasion such extraordinary ebullition of feeling. He had j proceeded thus far, audibly, amid cries ot -■ Don’t hoar him,” “ Out with him,” when his voice was overpowered by every species ot jj atoise that his enemies could put in requisition.); *l'he manager again made an attempt to ad- ji Llress the audience, but, w ith the exception ot a [very few words, scarcely heard beyond the or-, jehestra, was unsuccessful. Mr. Hernizcn came-. [mi the stage and attempted to sins' the audience, •into good humor, but the first line ot his song was met with a decided hiss, and ho retired. Finding all attempts to proceed with the amuse audits of the evening fruitless, the manager de- j dared the performance closed, and Mr. Hous ton and his friends succeeded in leaving the.j [Theatre uninjured. jj it is impossible to conjecture the motives that ; [produced this disgraceful transaction, from jinanv of the cries uttered by the rio’ers, we! rwere induced to believe that it originated political feeling. Justice and a strict sense ol •intv, however, compel us to assert the tact, and kve do assert the fact, and we do it with plea sure. that many distinguished gentlemen, sup porters of Mr. Clay, men who are an honor to any party and to human nature, were amongst ( the foremost in protecting Mr. Houston, and in. striving to quell the disturbance. A few de-‘ graded and unprincipled individuals, the very of society, wore, probablx , the sole cause of a scene which must reflect disgrace and infa-j, my upon the character ofour city. 1 hex wereji mean, contemptible cowards, 100, with all their ji noise. When, in reply to their frequent of violence, they were challenged to the attack,- they seemed perfectly aware of the propriety of Falstaff’s doctrine, that “ the better part oft valor is discretion,” and chose rather to exhibit their frothy courage at a convenient distance. M ith Gov. Houston's character we are unac quainted. We know nothing in it that could; pave warranted the ircatmeyt he received ; and: ’we sincerely hope, for the honor of our city, that no stranger, whoever he m iv be, will ever ago in, in Cincinnati, become the object of an outrage so unm inly and disgraceful.— Republican. ?

ITT It i* understood that a meeting w ill very soon be belli in this county, for the purpose of expressing public opinion in regard to N abdication. We believe that Troup men rad Clark men almost unanimously concur in reprobating the doctrine, and in the solemn determina tion to withhold their support from all Candidates what ever, by.whom it is advocated. j XT’ In accordance with the request of some of our subscribers, we publish the address of Mr. Lamar, j Without that request it was our intention to give it an insertion, as soon as we had room for it. Me believed, it was due to this gentleman to let him be heard in ex-' -planation of the course he has thought proper to pursue in becoming n candidate for Congress. We consider Mr. Lamar as one of the most promising young men of Georgia, and we believe him devoted to the best inter-, ests of his native state. - - - - ■ -- HT We copy m our paper of to-day the proceedings of; the meeting at Athens. We have only room to remark, that in this community, they have apparently been re ceived with general disapprobation-. When we receive • the proceedings of the dinner at Lexington, we may oi ler a few remarks upon the bearings ot both meetings, and upon the influence they may have in the policy to be ; adopted in the present state of the public leehng. We should act cautiously, and not rashly, for much is at .stake. It once an impulse is given to open resistance j ■ and civil war, no one can tell when peace could be re-! stored, and whether with peace, the liberty wo now en joy would still be in our possession.

CALiiJt.V A\'«> i’iiE x.utu.’iEßS OF GEORGIA. The inconsistency of certain members of the Troup party, who have joined the nullificrs of South-Carolina,! is too glaring to escape the observation and surprize of the people of Georgia. They acknowledge Mr. Cal houn for their leader, because he is the creator of Nul lification, which gives, ns this leader says, to every slate in the Union, the right to redress its own griev ances, by nullifying any law of Congress which may act oppressively upon that state. The Georgia nullifi-, ers have adopted Mr. Calhoun as their leader, in the j war they arc determined to wage against the “ Ameri-'l ' can System.” The most distinguished of the Georgia j nullificrs have placed themselves under the banner of jj Mr. Calhoun, a man who has been, and still is, a bitter h enemy of Georgia, and who has done more harm to our state, and excited more animosity between the citizens, jj than any other man in the United States, And to MrJi Calhoun, as the author, must be ascribed all the diflicul-jj ties Georgia has had to encounter, with regard to her j j Indians lands. To Mr. Calhoun must he ascribed the j j establishment of the protective system and of the inter-ji mil improvement system. To this man must be ascribed I the hostility which sprung up in South-Carolina, in 1821 and 1825, towards Georgia. In short, to him must be at tributed all the difficulties under which we now labour. And it is to such a man, that Troup men have sw-orn alle giance. in preference to Jackson ! If that man had not meddled himself with our local concerns, & push Gen. Clark to carry on a war of extermination with the Craw ford party, party distractions would have never produced | the evil consequences which have visited our state. And this man has been taken up by Troup men as their leader, in their plan of opposition to the federal government, and especially to Gen. Jackson 1 One of the purest politicians Georgia ever had, knew! Mr. Calhoun well, and often told the writer of this ani- ! ; cle, that this leader of the nullificrs was onq of the most; dangerous of the public men of the country, by his hy-j pocrisy, his cunning, his tergiversations, and his chan-1 ges of principles, to suit the times. In May, 1828, in a| letter to the editor, this consistent republican writes:[ “In the present crisis I find myself compelled to assent. to the election of General Jackson. To support this ad-, ministration, (Mr. Adams’) after its conduct to Georgia,- : (to sav nothing about other measures of a more general character,) is out of the question. I admit that it is al.; most equally repugnant to my feelings to support Jack son—for, as I have said, my opinions of the man re-1 main unchanged; and when I reflect upon the principles! of the men, (all of the Calhoun school) by whom he will' v _ j be surrounded, I look in despair of any beneficial change . under his administration. But what am Itodo ? There arc no other candidates than Adams or Jackson. I must choose between them. I see the necessity of re moving the present incumbents from office ; I must do' it with Jackson ; and if he displays the principles, and adopts the measures I so fearfully anticipate, I must do : all I can to replace him with a better—Calhoun I never | will support.” The fears of our friend were not realiz |ed : Gen. Jackson did not surround himself with the friends of Calhoun, he found them out soon enough to discard them all; and now Mr. Calhoun and his friends f are bitterly opposed to the re-election of the General. If our friend was living, he would rebuke those who now fraternize with the “ Prodigals,” as they were call ! cd, when the republicans were denominated “ Radi, cals,” and especially with the leader, for no politician was ever more abused, feared, and hated, by Mr. Cal houn and his friends, than that distinguished Georgian 1 to whom we allude. | (omtii’i meat sou. MEETING AT ATHENS. The resolutions presented to the meeting at Athens, were entirely worthy of their author. They might have been reasonably expected, front the Luurcnsburgh advocate of nullification,; who presumed to impute dastardy, to the calm, j and prudent friends of the public welfare toj men who, on a proper occasion, would be found in the loremos ranks of danger, while many a valiant toast maker might be sought in vain, | within the sound of any trumpet but his own. 1 But that such resolutions should be adopted by , jolliers, is n subject both of regret and astonhsh -2 ment. We pass over the Jesuitical preamble — we pass over the determination of a roomful of , people, that they will no longer submit to a sys tensoflegislation“arbitrary, unequal,unconstitu . tional, and unjust.” Let us come to the pith ot j the matter, which is contained in the following 1 resolution—“ That it be recommended to our tel low citizens, in the several counties, to elect : Delegates to a State Convention to assemble at Milledgeville, on the second Monday in Novem ber next, and to invest them with full powers in behalf of the good people of Georgia, to main tain, preserve, and defend the rights, and privi- , leges of the free citizens of this State.” M hat! | It is seriously proposed, that in the midst of a tumultuous excitement, delegates shall be chosen, of whom a majority without appeal, may decide on our destinies ! —that their delegated authority 'shall supersede all the ordinary powers of gov ernment !—ls it not so ? They are to be invest led with full powers, to maintain, preserve, and defend the rights, and privileges of the free peo ple of this State. They are then without con jitroul, to judge w hat is the extent of those rights | and privileges—and to bind the State by any mea sures, which they may think proper to adopt, in ' executing this trust of maintenance, preserva tion, and defence. Where are the limits, either to the compass, or duration of such powers ! Those invested with them, might nullify the I laws both of the Union and of Georgia—they might declare war, or proclaim a secession—- they might confiscate the es ates, or shed the blood of their political opponents. W e may be told of the improbability, that those powers will be abused. But why trust them to frail and fallible men ?—and especially at a moment like the present when the air is fraught with mad ness ; when the factious spirit of external machi j nation, not contem with its own domestic horrors, ! is endeavouring through a thousand channels, ! to involve us in a common catastrophe ? Have i we not latterly witnessed examples of extrava gance, sufficient to inspire a general distrust of . human prudence ? If we are to have a conven- | tion, let its objects be carefully defined —and , above all, let the people retain in their own hands, the ordinary security of ratifying, or re- . jecting plans which that convention may recom mend. In the record of the meeting, we sec many names which we respect; and one which al- :! ways excites in us feelings of veneration. But scruples of personal, or political regard, are en-j tirely lost, in a profound concern for the public safety. The truth must be sternly toll.—The acts oftliat meeting claim nothing beyond the charity, of forgiveness, and oblivion. Let the : friends of peace and order, deliberately consider; 1 the matters, at which we haVc only had leisure 1 to' glance, and we are persuaded, that they will; ; disapprove, oppose, and practically annul the ; whole proceeding. From the Southern Banner of August 3. Public Meeting. —Agreeably to no ice given by the circulation of hand-bills in various parts!; of the town, an assemblage of from eight him- I dred to a thousand persons convened at the Col- ; 1 lege Chapel at 4 o’clock on the evening of the jl Ist inst. to take into consideration the proper jl mode of relief from the evils of the present Ta- ,i I riff. The Hon. Wm. H. Cranford was called H to the Chair, and Asbury Hull, Esq, appointed ,! Secretary. j ) The object of the meeting tvas briefly s ated! i bj r W. H. Torrance, Esq. of Baldwin county, I who concluded by moving that a commi-tee be| 1 appointed to draft resolutions expressive of ’he ! 1 feelings of the individuals assembled, upon thej ( ■ course necessary to be pursued in relation to thisj ) ; ! o ious system —which motion was adopted. The'.s I lion. A. S. Clayton arrived just as the motion 1 i| passed, and immediately addressed ihe Chair, j < j! moving a reconsideration of the vote just taken, jj< with a view to present to the meeting apream-ijj j bleand resolutions already prepared, and in his I !i possession. Upon this motion considerable de- < [I bate ensued—Judge Clayton, Judge Berrien, jl j! Col. T. F. Foster, W. C. Dawson, Esq. Judge jl || Longstreet, Gen. Harden, & John Milton, Esq. M i!advocating, and Gen. Glascock, W. H. Tor- ji ! ranee, Esq. Judge Harris, Dr. Tinsley, J. C. Ter- i roll. Esq. and D. M. Stewart, Esq. opposing it. i Col. R. L. Gamble was in favor of appointing! , the speakers to constitute a committee. After ' two ineffectual attempts to decide the motion, < the preamble and resolutions alluded to were 1 read at the request of the Chairman, by Judge | Berrieft, who, in his usual able and masterly || I ■ manner, advocated their passage —which was;!' finally eiiected by a large majority* They are ji as follows : 1 Whereas, the people of Georgia, as well in < primary assemblies of citizens in their respec- 1 | tivc counties, as by their Representatives in the 1 j Legislature thereof, have repeatedly and so- 1 ji lemnly declared the several acts laying duties s i on imports, (in so fur as such acts transcended i ! the purposes of revenue, and were designed for : j the protection of manufactures,) to be unjust, : [ oppressive, and unconstitutional ; and have so lemnly announced their determination not to - j submit to such unlawful exactions; and their < consequent resolution to resist them, if after a J ; reasonable time they should not be repealed. < I And whereas, the good people of this state < and others, having common interest with them 1 i in this matter, have looked to the period of the 1 ! payment of the National Debt, as that, at which j the income raised by taxation should be redu- ( ccd to the sum required by the wants of the < Government, by duties fairly imposed upon all ' the imports of the Uni cd States—and have ex pected from (he jus rice of thal Congress which { has just closed its session, a repeal of these ob- 1 noxious laws. And whereas, this reasonable expectation has been disappointed, and the protection of manii- i factures is now avowed as a permanent prirtci- j pie of federal legislation. Be it therefore resolved. That we as free citi- j ‘ zens of Georgia, will not longer submit to the i system of legislation which is arbitrary, une qual, unconstitutional, and therefore unjust— that it be recommended to our fellow-citizens in the several counties to elect delegates to a State Convention, to assemble at Milledgeville on the ■ (second Monday in November next, and to invest | them with full power in behalf of the good pco •J pie of Georgia to maintain, preserve, and de ll fend the rights and privileges of the free citi ! zens of this state. i Resolved, That Augustin S. Clayton, John M. Berrien, William C. Dawson, Samuel Rock well, William H. Torrance, Joel Crawford, and , Thomas Glascock, be a committee of corres- I pondence to confer with our fellow-citizens of ! other States, on all matters connected with our j 1 7 • I!common interests. [jj Two or three amendments were in’roduccd, I which for want of copies we cannot publish ; Ji they were rejected, however, by decided major .''iti^s. From the same.

PROSPERITY OF COLUMBUS. Our town was visited a few days ago by an igent of the Augusta banks, bringing with him £93,000 in bills on the banks in Columbus, for redemption. The agent was Very politely re ceived, and so soon as the bills were presented :o the three institutions here, the specie was in- Hantly and cheerfully offered in exchange for heir paper ; showing the solvency of our in iant banks, one of which has been but a few nonths in operation. A few weeks ago, the U. =5. Bank made a draw upon the Augusta Banks or 8110,000; which of course was punctual. V paid. But the Augusta prints exulted in the promptness of the banks there, some of which iad been in operation for many years, to meet .heir paper. Well done, Columbus ! four years ago a bow ing wilderness —now a handsome town, with a population of 1800 souls, and three banks in successful operation, always ready to meet their paper with the silver if necessary. Enquirer, Aug. 4* WILKES COUNTY* Extracts of the Presentments of the Grand Jury, July Term of the Superior Court, 1£32. “ Wo are opposed to the useless incarcera-1 ion of the human body of an honest debtor, for ic is : hereby rendered incapable of doing any King for his family or his creditors, and his fum ly 7 are necessarily thrown on the community or a support. We recommend other Juries in he several coun ies to express the opinion of heir fellow citizens on the subject, and submit t to the consideration of the Legislature. “ The Grand Jury have taken into considera ion the address to the people of Georgia, and he resolutions connected wi h it, of the late preliminary convention, to a reduction of the lumber of Representatives of the General As iembly. We earnestly recommend to our fel ow citizens the propriety of such a convention j is the Central Committee have recommended, j )ur state ought to be relieved of an unnecessa •y expenditure for the support of members of, he General Assembly —and we are well assur ;d, that the people would be as well represented, py a less number ot members, as they now are, py the very large number, which u few coun-1 ies have to contribute to support. We have! nade some calculation upon the data afforded in lie table attached to the address, arid find that i line of seven counties between Savannah and A lint rivers, comprehending Elbert, Wilkes, dreene, Morgan, Jones, Jasper and Monroe, ;©ntaininga representative population of /3,455, iave only one member in the Senate for every Lo,493—and one in the lower house for every I, Representative population —while thirty pther counties, having, a representativs popuia ion of "73,396, have one member in the Senate or every 2,446, and one in the lower house for •very 2,224 representative population; these hirty having near five times more than the ra io of representation in the Senate, and seventy. Ivc per cent* more in the other branch,than the leven counties named. The representative pop- , ilation of the state is 441,462—and the average •ates is one member for every 5,518 in the Sen ile, and in the other branch, one for every 2,659. iach es the seven counties therefore is short by 1,980 (little less than half,) in the Senate, and )8l (little more than a fourth) of its fair equal •opresentation—which in the other branch, each pf the same thirty counties, on an average, ex ;eeds its fair representation in the Senate by 5,272, (near three-fifths,) and the lower house py 435, (about one-sixth.) “ The county of Yilkcs has a representative population of 10,- J 07 —that of Randolph is 884 —yet these two jounties, in representative power, are equal in he Senate.” « There are forty-one counties in the State vhose tax paid into the Treasury, is less than he amount of pay drawn from the Treasury, by heir own members of the Legislature* This liability of the forty-one counties to pay their nembers, has to be supplied by the tax of those jounties which have a surplus. The thirty counties before alluded to, pay 88412 dollars ess than is required to pay their members. We ivould urge more earnesdy for a representation ?ased on population, than for one based on taxa ioii—vet every should be, not only willing, but fully able to pay for its representa :ion in the General Assembly. “ We therefore respectfully recommend to [ pur fellow-citizens of Wilkes county, to elect on | ;he first Monday in November next, three re presentatives to a convention proposed to be held at Millcdgevillc on the first Monday in February next, for the purpose of altering and amending the constitution if Georgia, so lar as relates to the reduction and equalization of the Representation in the Legislature. “As a part of the body aggregate of the State and of the United S ates, we feel our selves authorized to sugges 7 such measures us may seem to us proper to elicit the expression of the public will at this crisispf our general polio cal relations. We recommend therefore to the people of the several counties of the States, to have an assemblage in each, at which the Re- prfeSentativos and Senators of the same, be in ■struetcd to act, (while attending before tlie next I session of the General Assembly) in a separate and distinct character as members of a conven tion, to consider what action of forbearance' shall be recommended to be adopted by the pco pie of the State in regard ta their oppressed con dition as a part of the Federal I nioii.—For this object we earnestly ask a suspension of all local j and political countroversy. 1 “We are satisfied that the people of our i | county are not yet willing to return to the bar-; 1 barons punishments of cropping, branding and | whipping, that rather than subject their unfbr-j tunate criminal fellow-citizens to this kind of (punishment, they would suffer the guilty to es-. Ilcape—they would liud many palliations to ex-! jouse for crime rather than subject a neighbour! or a fellow-citizen to such ignominious punish-1 jiment. The Penitentiary is already built, and I must be kept up many years, for the fulfillment j; of the punishment of those now in a course of jj sentence there. The expense will not be l«a --j. terially increased by continuing it in full ope ration. We therefore recommend our Sena tor and Representatives in the next Legislature i to use their exertions to have the late Pcniten ; tiary system restored with such improvements ■ as may be found necessary or expedient.

Cotton. —Arrived since the 20th instant, 672. Clear ed in the same time, GIG 9 bales, making a reduction in stock of 5197 bales, and leaving on hand, inclusive of all on ship board not cleared on the 25th inst. a stock of 18703 bales. There appears now to be no demand for Tic article, but small purchases are occasionally made to fill up vessels that lack a few bales. We notice two of this description, viz : 100 hales Alabama at 8 cents, and 165 bales Mississippi at 9 i cents round; it is thought that the present and still further anticipated decline in Freights may yet be productive of some business in Cot ton, otherwise the market has come to a close for the season.

The Cotton market has been dull for sonic time, or rather the quantity offering for sale Has been so much j greater than was required by the buyers, that the tenden- j cy of prices has been on the decline. To-day, however,. the demand has increased and many Holders, confiding t in the advices of a deficiency in the New Orleans crop, do not frcbly offer their stocks, rhore especially as most of the sales of Upland are making at G 4 a 6 3 ,d. and in* some instances the prices obtained to-day are id. higher than last week. Flour —We see no prospect of any de- j mand to require an import. Another letter of same date, from Maury, Lanthairl &c ■ Co. says—“ There is a very extensive demand for Cotton j to-day, and nearly all that is offered is at +d. advance, | upon last week’s market, more particularly however the j American that was then selling at Gfil. The report of j this morning from Manchester and the previous business here has beeri pretty heavy—Booo bales in three days. The crops of grain look very promising indeed, and the ; market is again rather heavy. In France also the pros pect for the harvest is flattering. Money in London is not so abundant as it was.” at this Oflicc, two or three APPRENTICES: applications! to be made soon.
