That die several »tat< s composing thi > 1 ’.lion were, at the wloption of the F< !< i e msiitution, free, sova r tign and independent sfites: that they hav. not dives’ed thcinsi Ives ol this eh .racial, by (lie relinquishment of certain powers to the Federal government, having as sociated with their scut states tor purposes entirely compatible «ith tin continued existence ot their own original freedom, sovereignty, ami independence. 7. That the act I iyi i duties on imposts p issed iaJulv. 1832, as a. 1 !1 as the several acts of which tout art is amendutc-ry, in so lar as it truiiscvnda the purposes ot revenue, zhd is intended, to operate, and does operate substantively lor the protection cf manufactures is an exercise of powers, r.ot granted by the const tution, but a plain, and palpable violutieti of ike true intent, meaning and spirit thereoftl».-it tin- said acts cannot be jubtilied under the power of regulating commerce with foreign nations, since to regulate is net to destroy ; and the prim I Tic ui a substantive protection to domestic manu factures assumes, and in sonic instances exerts the pow. er of imposing;« duty, which effectually prohibits the importation of foreign fabrics of like kind with those which are thus protected, and to this extent destroys foreign commerce, instead of regulating it. That they cannot be supported under the power !o lay and collect duties, since this pow, r was given soly f..r the purpose of enabling tire Government to raise a revenue, which should be adequate to i:s wants, and the amount of re venue which is raised by these protective duties very far ex< u< ds tiie legitimate wants of the Government—and that that attempt to vindicate the exercise of a power to imposo a burthen on the labor and industry, of one pur tio:i of the people of the United -States, for the benefit of another portion of the same people, under the powtr to provide for the common defence, and general welfare of the United States, is even inert- alarming tiian the di re - t n. -nits of the system itself, because that is to ascribe tu Congresss power t r do whatever in their judgment may conduce to the common defence and general wel fare, and tints to invest the national Legislature with un limited, (because merely discretionary) power over the rights and liberties of the people of Georgia. H. That the people of Georgia are sincerely attached to ill** federal cousiitinioii. ami to the union of these stales, which it creates and guarantees —that they con aider it as a precious inheritance received from their fa thers, which it is the duty of patriotism to maintain and defend, and estimate it above ail price, save that of lib erty : that they arc ever ready ro peril their fortunes and their lives in its defence, and would deeply deplore its dissolution, ns an event alike inauspicious to themselves, and to the cause of civil liberty throughout the world. That actuated by these feelings, and even amid the difli culties which beset them, not despairing of the Repub lic, they will sriil persevere in the rise of every proper and efficient means for the peaceful adjustment of this unhappy controversy, which may be within their power as one of the sovereign members of this confede racy, or which may result from consultation and con fer ncc with their sister -Slates, having a common in terest with them in this matter. That taking the pay ment of the national debt, as the period after which the present tariff of dutiss, so far as it transcends the pur poses of the revenue, and is designed for the protection of domestic manufactures, can find no plausible pretext in our coß3titutioAal.chnrter, they are willing to w ait un til Gongress shall have full time deliberately to deter mine whether they wiil reduce and equalize the duties on foreign imports, sons to bring the income or the Govervnment within the limits of revenue, and to col lect the contributions of our citizens on the principles oi just taxation. That having regard to the inte rests of those whose capital has been invested in manufac tures, during the progress of that course of legislation of which they complain, they are willing that the reduc tion of duties which they rsk should be prospective and cradual, and fearfully admonished, as they have been by experience of the fallacy of ilu ir past hopes for relief from the evils under whicli they sutler, they will still look to the justice and patriotism of their brethren of the manufacturing - late. !>. That the people of Georgia cannot admit to tiie permanent protection of domestic manufactures by duties imposed tor that purpose on the importation of forcing manufactures, and especially on such as are among the necessaries of life :—flint they cannot submit to tiie adoption of the principle, on which such duties are im posed. as a permanent principle of federal policy—hut will feel bound 10 resist tiie same by the exercise of all their rights as -me of the sovereign members of this con fed racy—and by consultation and concert with their sis ter States, having like interest with themselves, and disposed to unite with them in resistance to tins prin ciple. Ift. That it be respectfully recommended to tiie sev eral Southern States, having a common interest with us in the removal of the grievances under which we labor, from the protective system to assemble in Convention by Delegates from the respective States, corresponding, to the number of their Representatives in Congress, and elected for that purpose on the third Monday in March next, to confer together on flic subject of these griev ances. and to recommend to the people of their respec tive State such measures ns may best conduce to the removal of the same—and that the place of such meal ing be determined by correspondence between the Dele gates elected to said Convention. 11. That the Clerks of the Superior Courts in the several counties be requested to open a register in their several offices, and that the citizens of each county be re quested to attend at said offices, and enrol their names on the said register, expressing their approbation ordisap. probation ot the proceedings of this convention—that the sain Registry he conducted under the superintendence of t ommittees to be appointed by the President of thisl'on vention for each county —that the said Registry be open ed on the 15th day of December next, and kept open tor thirty days thereafter, notice thereof being given by the superintending committee in each county. 12. That if.tr the expiration of the time of registering the names of the cinztiis in the several counties, a ma jority shall be found in saver of the proceedings of this convention, it shall be the duty of the superintending committee in each county to give public notice ot that fact within s id county, and to invite tiie citizens of the same to elect by general ticket, on the first Monday in Febru ary thereafter, eleven delegates to represent this state in the proposed Convention of States. 13. That when this convention adjourns, it adjourn to meet at this place on the first Monday in May next —and that the counties which are not represented in this con. vention, be respectfully requested to elect delegates to represent them therein, at the said adjourned meeting. 14. That the President of this Convention do com municate tiie aforegoing resolutions from one to ten in clusive, to the Governors of the several states, having common interest with us in the removal of the griev ances 0* which we com/ain, asking them to give publi city to the same within their respective states, and ear- ! nestly requesting them to unite with us in convention, as j the sure, perhaps the only means of preserving the peace I of the Union. ]b. Tnat the committee of superintendence for the county ot Baldwin be denominated the Central Commit tee, and be authorised under the direction of the Pre sident to take all necessary steps for giving effect to the measures ot this convention. 16. That the superintending committee in each countv be requested to communicate to the central committee of the county of Baldwin the result of the elections for delegates to die convention of the southern states, and that the said committee be authorized to announce the general result ot the said election, and to give to the per son* efected certificates of their election. 17.

The absence of so large a part of a ! perfect r< presentation would, in any case, make it pro h.'.rh. ami i j th present instance renders it almostcer tain, that every important vote of the majority of the Convention will be, in etid.-r, a vote ot the - minority of the people. rff ■ imi —N .t o'j’v have more than twenty counties plainly indicated thru they dls ipprov- - the Convention, by lining to t lec* De-legates, but many of those winch re r- presented, made ; > point to -nrs. not because they approved of the Convention, but that their dele ga'es might endeavour t > a\ e-rt the - evils which they an ticipate 1 irom the tneetiiur, and in the expectation that 1 those delegates would withdraw, whenever a course show!

Th.rJ —\u . • iceive that a course has been adopted, • inco.isls’ent not only with the rights of our constituents, but with justit to the wh !e People. A very great pro portion of those sitting as delegates have produced no sufficient evidence, that they tire duly authorized lo ap pear in behalf ot' those counties which they nominally repres.-at ; and the in-jority of the Convention has re fused to institute and enforce such a scrutiny as is in dispensable to the investigation ol this essential tact. Under these circumstances, we deem ;t an impt-ra ; five dtttv to fit Tile—at the same time entering a so. j 1- nut protest against any authority or influence, which i may be claimed for the acts of the body which we have left, as acts of a Convention, representing the People ul Georgia.

We begin to-day the publication of the reports of the several Banks of this state, made to the Governor, a greeably to legislative requisition, and by him transmit ted to the legislature at the present session. We intend I to offer some remarks upon these reports, in a short time. BASKS OF GEORGIA* Fauk of AuguMa. RANK OF AUGUSTA, } October 10, 1832. y To His Excellency Wilson Ltnnpk'n, Governor of Georgia, Sin—ln compliance with the existing requirements of the legislature, [ have the honour to transmit herewith, an exhibit of the. state and condition of this Bank, made up to the first of October, 1 "3d. It was, as you will per ceive, in point of form from preceding returns, inasmuch as it comprises a monthly as well as the annual statement, which together furnish' a document, whereby the busi ness of the Bank may be more frequently tested, by a comparison with the wholesome limitations of the char ter. The surplus fund, though consider Me, is partly noni ind, it being held to cover losses by Duel debts; of this description the statement shows §17,063; agd there will probably be additions to it, .from the doubtful list, of 86,653, and perhaps also from some »ther debts not yet due. It is considered expedient to state that the whole a monnt of money' loaned, on pledges of stock, is §26,- 669, in which is included §11,990 borrowed by directors. In regard to the amount of “ real estate, - ’ owned by this Bunk, no further loss is apprehe t led ; it was valued in 15-31, and the di five nee between the first cost and that valuation, was then thrown off as a loss, and enter ed on the books of the Bank accordingly. By a memorandum at the first c-r the general state ment, ir will appear that ot 8281,401, the whole circu lation of this Bank, the sum of fj 11,766 is in notes of five dollars down to one. In conclusion, it is thought proper, 'though not requir ed by public authority) as the st -te is largely interested in this Bank as a stockholder, to remark that the stock is considered as worth aboj: 20 per cent, premium, judging by the las: public sale.

Office Augusta Insurance and Banking ) Company, October 1, 1832. y To His Excellency Wilson Lumpkin, I Ii ave the honour to inclose you a statement (signed by the Cashier.) exhibition the nresent condition ol the An. the Casmer,) exhibiting the present condition ol the Au gusta Insurance and Banking Company. In contrasting the present with the last and previous annual returns of this institution, it will be apparent, on examination, that its present condition must be regarded as an ample grat. ideation of the confidence expressed by the joint coin, mittee on Banks of the last Legislature. Exemption from extraordinary losses during the last year, has ena bled the office to triumph over all past difficulties, pay the regular semi-annual dividends, and add to the capi tal stock the sum of §15.099. This result, so gratifying to the Board of Directors, derives its chief value, from the consideration that a frank and liberal construction of the rule for the settlement of claims?, lias elicited a re ciprocal feeling of confidence, as manifested by the daily increasing patronage of the public. The new aspect which the condition of the institution offers to the con sideration of the stock holders, will afford them a gratifi cation, only equal to that enjoyed by the Board of Direc tors presenting it. And whilst a brief recurrence to its past history, offers little to console lor the heavy losses sustained, but the knowledge how to overcome them— its present condition will be regarded as offering a well founded expectation, the hopes entertained, of a sure and profitable investment, will hereafter be fully realized. I have the honor to be, &c. PETER BENNOCTI. President. Slate of the Augusta Insurance and Ranking Company, October 1, 1832. DR.

Under such circumstances, 1 u ,n orl ( V, 11 to the alternative to wait a developcment by the P UII Ij* authorities of the country ; but that I may do 311 in ftl power to hasten that developcment, which alone ean H tisfy the public, I have respectfully to request that} 3 - H will bring the subject before the legislature at an eat-.' ■ day, and suggest the appointment of a committee -to 1 , ■ amine into its affairs, and report the cause ot its ,3 ' ■ tire.
