IJ ,r tin proprie’y of erecting this right i:i re. msti.it? the Tarns Act, and prevea'ing the roilcc tio:i of the duties on imports, which that act iin ’pos.- , I consider a very different question.

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.

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.

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. , I am, sir, vour most obedient servant, J. D. DICKERSON. Col. Z. Williams. PnoispEcr, Sept. Otlp 1932. ; 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 ing the meeting, and continued to do so for some 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- ;, i demon to the meeting as a committee to report-j i resolutions. This motion was lo§t, and it wasN I decided that-the Chairman do appoint the com mittee. Vou then immediately proceeded to nom inate. first, Dr. Crawford, who acted as the ! Chairman of that conimrtec. At about three o’clock. Dr. Crawford handed in tlie report to] | vou, as the Chairman of the meeting. Through-' 1* • •jjoui t.ce proceedings ot the uay, ami iu every m q anco, in buy humble conception, you were | respected and fully recognized by the ineetini. :s their Chairman. In conclusion, I would hen. , remark, sir, tliat a siion time as er the commit ' ec entered their room, you called in, and after a short conversation, you offered a preamble an 1 resolutions to the consideration of the commit tee. When tlie committee were about entering upon the discharge of the duty assign d them, the Chairman suggested the propriety of vour w ithdrawing, at which you.immediate.v retired. c' • • | * * I am, sir, very respectfully yours, » NATH’L BAILEY.

Respectfully, N. CRAWFORD. ;| Col. Z, Williams. September (ith, 1832. At the meeting of the citizens at Appling, On 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. NATHAN CRAWFORD. 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.
