T*> j\lvsssrs. CiruLO &. Dim e,
(irntlemen.—‘l have seen in your of the 1 ilh
a-t. an article which, at the request of a subscriber, •
voa fi tve transferred from the columns *ff the Courier.
If the,motive which prompted this request be friendly,
which I will not permit myself to question, I shall find
gratification in relieving the apprehensions ot yOur cor
s’) indent. It I err in this estimate ot his feelings, I
shall have availed myself ol the occasion to correct the
misapprehensions ot others.
Called to participate in the deliberations of a number
of the citizens of Georgia, assembled at Athens, and
subsequently placed by the Chairman of that meeting at
the head of the Committee of Correspondence, I have
* udeavored in both situations to perform my duty. I
oxercised the right of a private citizen, by expressing the
honest convictions ol my judgment to that assembly.
.My situation, as a member ol its commiuec, imposed
upon me the duty of affording a proper explanation of
its proceedings, and I have discharged that cilice at the
request of my fellow citizens ot Oglethorpe-, ot Uibb, ol
Jasper, and of Iturke. In doing this I have not sought
to adv mee or to oppose the views or the* interests ol any .
individual. The question which now unhappily agitates
our stale, is too important in my opinion to be mingled
With any minor consideration. -My single object has
been by a union oi counsels with those who have invited
tuis interchange cl opinion, to contribute my humble aid
to avert, if it mav bo done, the dangers which menace
th* coni* dor u:'-. I have not Iclf myself at liberty to shun
th*’ responsibility which is incident to such a course of.
action, although aware of the misrepresentation to which
it has subjected me. Those who will take the trouble;
to inform themselves ot the sentiments expressed on,
the o elisions referred to, and on every other con
nected w:tlt tins sttbje - t, will acquit me of every thing
,i >;tsist* nt with tlie lofty independence of character, a
which the writer of the article in question is pleased to |
ascribe >o ir'ie- The good opinion ot my iellow-citizens ,
is as valuable t > me in private, as it has been in puolic
life, and the * xp'mnatiou thus gi’ en, is the evidence of
niv desire to preserve it, if if may be done consistently
'*nh iny own convicliotis ol iluty. I write in haste, u*
avail myself ot an opportunity for the transmission of
this letter, which you will oblige mo by inserting in your
paper.

*, ; :l paper controversy with a youth who has acted j

known to himself, Itas been guilty of the most wiltul and I

people desire me to stop, I will do so, I heard
several voices very distinctly say, go .oh, go on.;

m tde a motion that Drs. ('oilins and Jr:i*is, Mr.
Sliockly and some others, should hea committee ,
iu pn.’pare and report a preamble and resolu- j ;

Dear Sir —l have taken my pen to comply ;
with your request, to state what 1 know in rgla- <
fion to the proceedings at the meeting held at
Appling on Thursday, the 23d alt. When I en- -
terrd fisc door of the Baptist Church, I heard I <
distinctly Reuben Hill, Esq. say, there appears! <
no objection against Col. Williams* taking the, ;
Chair. Von then observed, as there appeared !-j
no'objections, you would take the Chair. Wen- 1 1
sley Hobby, Esq. was present at the time, and 1
made no objections, neither did any other person. 1
Youthen addressed the meeting at aconsidera- j
ble length, and before a Secretary was appoint- t
ed, and in the course of your remarks, you were 1
repeatedly stopped bv Wcnslev Hobby and .fas. t
Curt ledge, and as often requested to go On by t
Doctor Nathan Crawford, and a good manyjq
others, from different parts ot the house. Finally • 1
you discovered that you could not proceed, and I c
put the question to the meeting, whether it was! 1
their wish to hear you wr not, and the meeting j t
decided by a large majority, that it was their j ;
wish to hear you, and‘Von were called upon to ( I
go on. You then proceeded, and Were again.
stopped by Hobby, when you Said you would t
read the speech of John C. Calhoun, to prove t
that he was in favour of the protection of tnanu- I
facturersin 181(5. \Y. Hobby then said, that \
he was the friend of John C. Calhoun, and he) j
would admit what you were going to suy about |
him on that subject,, and that you had already |
occupied about one hour and a halt. \ou then ;
pulled out your watch, and said that you had j -
occupied more time than you thought you had, j
and that you would desist for the,present. The
meeting Was then organized, by appointing L
Augustus Wright, Secretary. Mr. Hobby then ji
moved that the meeting, and not the Chair |
appoint seven gentlemen, and named them, as a
committee to report a preamble and resolutions
for tho consideration of-the meeting, which was «-
objected to as being irregular, and a motion was! ‘
made for the Chair to appoint a committee of|
Seven, which was carried by a large majority; |
A division *ook place, and to the best of irt-y re- j o
collection, there was seventy-four in favour ol jG
the Chair appointing the committee, and fifty a- j 1
gainst it. The Chairman accordingly appoint-! f
ed the following gentlemen, viz: Dr. Nathan t
Crawford, R. Hill, Esq. Nathaniel Bay ley. Esq.! a
Pierson Pettit, Archibald Avery, Isaac Ram- 1
sev, and John Cartledge. 1 have also heard ■ j
several gentlemen remark, since tlie meeting, j ; ;
that it was owing to the violent and indecorous |;L
conduct of W-. Hobby, and olliers, and the fro-1; r
quent interruption to which you were subjected. Nj
by them, and the apprehension that something ij
serious might occur, and the meeting terminate L
in alter confusion, that they left the house.
I have no hesitation in declaring that Ihe a- f
hove statement is correct, to tno best of my
knowledge. ,

Dear Sir, —I avail myself <it this moment’s ,
Opportunity, to state, at your request, in what
capacity I considered you to act at the late pub
lie meeting held at Appling, on the 23d ult. At '
tlie time 1 cn.ercd the house you were address

time. You were then interrupted. A very lit-;
tic time after, the audience were thrown a little,
in disorder. Some gentleman spoke that the]
Chairman should not be interrupted, others, Mr.j ;
iChairman, goon. I think You then called on
the meeting to know, if you *Hould continue I <
vour remarks. At this request I considered
you fully sustained —the meeting became coin-j
jicst-d. and vou resumed your remarks, and
1 tinned for a short time. After which, the meet-j
iug was organized, bv uppomtmg a
Mr; Hobby then offered the names of some gen- ;,

a short conversation, you offered a preamble an 1

I the 23d August, taking consideration of our dif
j # ~ 7 «-L %
! ficultie.s under the TarilF Law, I was not present
when Col. Williams took the Chair. \\ hen I
entered the house, he was addressing the ineet
iiicr, and continued at sotiio length. Before he
1 -
1 finished, some objections were made to the
■course pursued, and several persons made ex
ipressions to that effect, followed by some conlu-
Ision. When an appeal was made to the house
! from the Chair, I mis remember the particular
|manner iu which it was put, but the sense oi the
! meeting, as I understood it, went to support the
Course of tlie Chairman. A gentleman then
named acomniitt.ee of seven to draft resolutions
and report. This was objected to as irregular,
and after some remarks, the meeting gave the
| appointing of them to the Chairman. N. Craw
ford whs the first nominee on tlie list; ho act
ed with them, and sometime before 4 o’clock, I
j delivered in the report as Chairman ot that;
bodv.

Appling, September 3d, 1832.
Dear Sir, —In reply to your inquiries, re
!spooling the pubSic'tueetiiig held by the citizens
lof tiiis county, on the 23d of August, and par- ;
iticularly as it 'rcga'rds the manner of v our ta
king the chair at that time, I qhsw v er, that on
our convening in the church, Mr. Reuben Hill
moved that you take the chair. If the motion :
was seconded, I did not heat* it. After a short ,
pause by Mr. Hill, he put the question, I thought j
in this way : If there is any person opposed
to Col. William's taking the chair, they will:
signify it by saying aye. There was no res- j
ponse from the company, that I hoard, cither;
affirmatively or negatively. Mr. Hill then ob- 1
served, that there appeared no objection, and!
invited you to lake the chair. You then pro.
deeded to address the- meeting at considerable
length. 1 recollect that you were interrupted
unco or twice by Mr. Hobby, and I recollect ;
once by Janies Cart I edge, Esq. Considerable 1
confusion ensued, aiid 1 think that, finally, yoi 1
appealed to the meeting, whether you should;)
proceed to open tlie objects of the meeting or
not —several persons urged you to do so, and I
understood the expression of the feeling of the
meeting was with you io proceed for that pur
pose, and confess that such was the contusion
at that time, that there was nothing very dis
tinct, and that 1, almost despairing of bringing
the meeting so order in adv other wav, moved
directly the appointment of a committee to rc-; ;
port to the meeting. Not succeeding in getting; ,
my motion pm to the meeting, though it was se- j 1
bonded, Mr. Hobby afterwards moved that the: ■
3 *• 1 I
meeting appoint its own committee, and moved
that myself. Dr. Jones, Dr.. Crawford, I. Ram- j
say, A. Avery, Judge Dooly, and Mr. Shock- ,
loy, be that committee. This motion was lost. :i
'l’lie above statV nient is predicated on recollect ,
tion alone. Many of the incidents occurred at; 1
times of great confusion and excitement. Should
I therefore be deceived in some of them, it
would be nots'range, my recollections are all F
pretend to state, and they are given honestly.*

* In relation to this certificate, I am compelled to
say, that, after I received it. Dr. Collins called 011 me
for it, as he stated, to show to Judge Bailey, and after
seeing Mr. Hobby, as lie admitted to me, he made two
important alterations in it. His motives for doing so is
left with his conscience and his God : it is published as
he wishes it. Z. \V.
