TUBSDAY, PTOMBEB 18, i Bi{2v
X” All the miner prepare ! for this day's paper, has
Keen left out. to give entire the proclamation of the
President of the United 'tales. It i* a document of so
much interest at th s particular time, tnat in publishing
it, to the exclusion of other articles, of interest Also
to the people of Georgia. we believe, to hate have
acted according to the wishes of our subscribers. This
proclamation places the controversy between South. :
Carolina, ami the Federal Government in a point of
riew which cannot now be mistaken, ns far as the Ere
sutive Department of that Government is concerned.
The President ja explicit as regards the part he intends
to take in die controversy. He declares that he will be
guided in the measures he will adopt, by the movement*
iu Sonth-Carolina.
In the mean time, intelligence from onr sister state,
will be looked for with intense anxiety.

The Milledgeville Journal of the Times, of the 6th j
instant, cont tins the following letter, received from Mr.
'Craws jut), by Mr. Rv.t.v, a Representative in the Legis
lature from the county ot Warren.
Mr. Sl\i»k; Bv giving a place in yonreo- j
hmms to the following letter, received by last |
evening's mail, von will not only oblige me, but
render, as I conceive, an essential service to tiie
country. It is a matter of no small gratu
la ion io me, that, while I am assailed by those
who are comparatively “ mnshroons of modern
growth,” I am sis ained in my course by the
crave and reverend seigniors” of the party.
DENNIS L. lIVAN.
Milledgeville, Dec. 5,183 J.
Wood L \\v\, 20:b Nov, 1832.
My Dear Sir —I perceive from the Newspa
pers that von have introduced a bill for calling a
Southern Convention, with a view to counteract
the proceedings of the nullifying Convention. 1
thank yon for the effort which you have made,
and hope that your fur her ellorts will be crown
e 1 with success. It is difßcul to determine who
is tiie inns' intrepid in the race of inconsistency;
the Governor or Col. Berrien. The former, af
ter laving down abstract principles in Insmes
sage, which it is presumed will satisfy the wild.
♦st nniiitier in South-' ’arolitm, comes out with
an express denunciation of nullification, because
he savs it is a mvsterv he cannot comprehend.
If tiie reason for I lie rejection of nullification
should he applied hv the Governor to almost any
subject in ethics, philosophy, or politics, lie would
find himself almost a Purrhonist, for there is
scarcely a subject in those ample branches of
human knowledge, to which he might not he a
hle to make the same ohjec ion, viz: that he did
not comprehend them. The Governor ought 1
think to lie allowed credit for his denunciation;
for he has placed it in such jn.xta.position with
Ins nullification premises, that he seems to have
courted the enviable distinction of being con
spicuously inconsistent. 'File Colonel, although
he has not manifestly courted the distinction
which the Governor has sought with a degree
of intrepidity rarely displayed by a soldier in
storming a halterv, is nevertheless entitled to a
wreath of the crown with which the Governor
has with so much gallantry encircled his brow.
The Colonel on the Ist day of August last at
Athens, declared his hostility to nullification;
that declaration has been repeated at various
times and under various circumstances down to
the second Saturday in November, only two
days before the meeting of the Convention, yet
in the course of the next week, ho presents the
Convention, with the following resolution, viz. :
sth. “ That it is essential to a confedera’ed
government, the powers of which are expressly
limited hv tlie Constitu ion which created it, that
there should exist somewhere a power authori
tatively to interpret that instrument,, to de
cide in he last resort on the use or abuse of the
authority, which it conferson the common agent
of the confederated S ates; that such power can
not belong to the agent, since that would he to
subs itutc lus judgment for the constitutional
limitation, and that in the absence of a common
arbiter, expressly designated by the Constitution
for this purpos >, each S>a e as such, in vir’uc of
its sovereignty, is necessarily remi ted to the
exercise of that right.”
If the foregoing resolution does no' recognise
the right of nullities ion as broadly and explicit
ly ns the most visionary nullifier in South Caro
lina desires it. then I am no judge of the Eng
lish language. But this is no-' the only incon
sistenev Col. Berrien's resol Hon involve him |
in. The hist prin cd speech of his which has !
been seen hv me, was delivered in the county of j
Burke; in that speech he opposed a Southern
Convention and declared it to he unconstitirion- '
al; unless it was in'ended to lie consultative and
recommendatory only, in which case it might he
harmless from its imbecility. Among the reso. j
•utionsadopted hv tiie Convention, (drafted ns it ,
'sunders ood hv Col. Berrien) a Southern Con
'cation is recommended without specifying the
number of States necessary to form such Loti- ■
'ention, or defining with precision its powers vA
duties. Is this Convention to ho consultative
recovnmendatorv only? Then in the language of.
the Colonel at Burke, it is imbecile and there
fore harmless. Is it to assume a different char
acter and act a different part? Then the Col- j
n nel has declared it to he unconstitutional. Is
it possible that the people of Georgia who have I
chosen a Convention to deliberate upon the most ;
'eligible plan to relieve themselves f om the evils
t'lev have suffered for more than sixteen years,
*nd are still suffering, will approve of a measure
w hich its author has publicly pronounced un
constitutional or imbecile ? 1 trust not. 1 think
1 know the people of Georgia better than the
Colonel. They will not approve of an uncon- !
Etkutionnl ir.i asiihJ a* long as there remains a
constitutional one unexhausted, and they will
approve ot an imbecile measure under no cir
cumstances. Such a measure can never he
right, can nev* r he acceptable to an enlighten
ed and free people. It is not my intention to
endeavor to discover Co!. Berrien’s motives in
the maze of inconsistency into which he has fall
en and has had the miifortune to draw others.
His followers, if they Dad time to have reflected,
and to have collected the evidence of his incon
sistencics, would doubt Ess have abandoned him
and his resolutions to tire public scorn and con
tempt, which in the end will inevitably over
whelm them. Nothing hut a desire that the de
lusion which prevails at this moment may he of
short duration, could have induced me to take
any notice at this time of the Colonel or his re
solutions. A conviction that nothing more was
necessary to dispel the momentary delusion than
a plain and faithful exposure of the s’range in
consistencies in which his conduct has been in
volved for the last six months, has induced me
to present them to your mind, at the time that
vou are laudably endeavoring to counteract the
• J “
baleful eflec sos the late convention, of which
the Colonel seems to have been the animating
principle. If this letter shall have any tendency
to aid you in carrying into effect the measure
you have introduced into the House of Repre
sentatives, it will have answered the only ob
ject 1 have had in view in writing.—As it is j
written for that purpose, you are at liberty to i
make what use of it you please in furtherance of j
that object. 1 have no unfriendly feelings for ;
CoJ. Berrien; on the contrary the relations j
which have subsisted between him and me havi ;
always been amicable; hut through life 1 have ;
invariably preferred the public good to individ- j
uni in’erest. When I see a course of measures
adopted, which I believe will he injurious to the
interest of the community of which 1 am one, 1 ‘
feel it to he my duty to raise a warning voice !
against it, to advertise my f< How.citizens of the j
danger which menaces them. Whether the fate j
of Cassandra awaits me or not, is concealed in |
the womb of futurity. It is not in the power of!
mortals to command success, hut what is per- I
Imps better, it is in their power to deserve it.
1 am, dear sir. vour friend
' J
and most obedient servant,
WM. 11. CRAWFORD.

which represent that market as dulh and the sales mak-
I i.aa'on a limited scale. Since the receipt ot those ac

4CTUATEU by unenviable motives, three Direc
tors of the Mechanics Bank, of this city, published
j j on the 6th inst. (December,) a statement accompanied
j by a protest against an order rescinding a previous or.
' der for the p lynUnt of an instalment of 25 percent. It
1 is universally conceded, that small Capitals, invested in
Banking Institutions, arc wielded more profitably than
. large ones ; fortius, and other good reason.-;, the Bo ird
1 of Directors ot the Mechanics Ba?k, Repaired, on the
first day of December, ins’ant, to rescind so much of the
order (pas?ed ( ou ti.e 17th October, 1832, )as requires (he
payment of 25 per cent, of the Capital stock of this
! Bank on the 18th of December, 1832.
•mechanics IBank*
August /, Oct. 17 fh, 1533.
A N Instalment of 25 per cent, on the Capital Stock
JaL ot ibis Bank, is required to be paid on or before
the 12th day ol December—ana a. (urther Instalment of
ID per cent, on or before Friday the 28th day of Decem
ber next, between the hours of 9 and 2 o’clock.
GUO. \\. LAM AR, C.-i -liier.
In addition to other reasons, for rescinding such or. t
d«r for the payment of the 25 percent, the Bjsrd was
i presented with a petition, signed by tlie owners, and
representatives of a majority of the whole Stock ; pray,
ing a revocation of the order o! the 17th O tober ; so lar
as relates not only to the payment of the 25th per cent,
on the ISth December, 1832, but also, the 10 per cent, on
the 28th December.
To the President and Directors of the
Mechanics Bank.
By a public notice we observe, that you have called in
the residue of Instalment due on the Capital Stock of the
Bank, over which you preside.
That this measure appe ued to you advantageous to
the institutiou, and that you wete actuated in passing
the resolution by motives of' the best interest to the
Stockholders, we donor doubt.
However vve cannot but differ from you in opinion,
believing th it the institution with its present Capital, can
be managed, more o the interest of the Stockholders,
than if the Capital should be increased to the amount you
propose i We would beg leave to coll your attention, to
other B inks of 1 trger Capitals in our city, and you will
find on examination, that they rarely have half the amount
of their Capital in circuiatio i, and it would be vcrvques.
■ tinnable, whether or not we sboulk succeed in getting n
j larger circulation, than we at present have, even in the
event of the Capital being increased to double its present
amount; and if we should not obtain the same ratio of
circulation, we of course could not pay so large an in
terest. With these views of the subject, we are decided,
ly opposed to calling for additional instalments. We by
no means wish to dictate to you, but think as Stock,
holders ot the B ink. dial we have the right to express to
you our opinions, and if they should on due consideration
accord with yours, we do hope that the orders lor calling
in further instalments will be revoked. All of which is
resyecttully submitted- Very reapecfully.

Previous to th- pass ig e o! the order of fits Ist of Doc
doubts had been suggested by the protesting members,
relative to the power or the B i ir.l to rescind a previous i
order tor the payment of instalments—this subject to.
gether with the Charter was submitted to the Attorney ■
ot the Bank, who returned a written opinion, asserting \
the right and power on the part of the B mrd, acting no.
dor the Gnartcr, to piss the said resoluiion, which opin. '
ion has been sustained by all other Attorneys since con.
suited. .So far as regards that part of the notice rela- 1
live •_> t.;* t-or;enure -t Stock, we deem that position en
tirely untenable. \V i:hoat pretending to enter into any
argument on that subject, it is thought sufficient to state,
that on the 14th d iy of July, 1832, an order w is passed
by the Board to rescind in order ior the piymoit o' 19
per cent, of the Capital Stock of the Ii mk p \y ible on tue
4th day of October, 1832, an I that in consequence of '
said revocation no instalment was paid on the above l ist
mentioned day : therefore, upon tins principle ail the \
Stock had already become forfeited. A distinction is
indeed sought to i,- mule between the rescinding oi the ‘
order calling in the K» per cent, in October, and the 25 *
percent recently rescinded, in consequence of certain '
individuals (*one of whom is one oft le protesting mem. j
ber«) having paid said 25 per cent, upon a small number
j ol shares, with the hope ot retarding the operations of p
the Bank. But by a reference to the b .oks, it will be
perceived, that no such instalments have been incorp ira.
ted with the C.ipitala of the Bank, so that there ia n> ■
ground tor the accusation of attempting to impair or even 11
diminish the Capital Stock.
The protesting members for the purpose of giving an
assumed dignity to the communication have taken "the
liberty ol dating Mechanics Bank.

In explanation on rr.y pan I will here state, that up to *
the 28th Nov. 1 ;st, I advocated the calling in of the •
whole of the Capital Stock of the Mechanics Bank. A ”
difference ot opinion as to the propriety of such a course U
existed, some of the Stockholders wishing the limit of
the 50 per cent, on the C ipitai Stock to remain, others
desirous that the whole should be called in—Therefore,
with the sole view to ehoct a compromise, I voted for
rescinding ot the order •‘ailing fur 25 per cent, on the ~
l«th mst.

nn order that an instalment -f 35 per cent, on. the Capi

of December instant, and further instalment of 19 per
cent, on or before Frill iy the 28tli inst. between the
hours ot 9 and 2 o’clock ; which said order has-' been
regularly published from the date thereof; And tohere
as, on the Ist day of December instant, the Board of
Directors passed another order the object of which'is
to revoke so much of the above st tied order as re.
quires the payment of 25 per cent, as therein stated,'a
gainst which said revoking order a minority of said
Directors entered the following protest;
“Tiie undersigned enter I heir protest against the re
solution revoking the order for an instalment of 25 per
cent, on the Capital Stock of this B mk, to be paid on or
before the 18th of December, 1832,forthc following rea
sons
Ist. Because the order of the Board of Directors call,
ing in said Instalment wav passed by a Bo ird consisting
ol eight members, and with ail the forms required by
■the Charter—md because some of the Stockholders hav.
ing paid said instalment pursuant to public notice, and
received a certificate (or the s one, refuse to have them
cancelled—and because there was sufficient time to have
given the leg i! notice required by the charter calling a
meeting of the Stockholders to ascertain whether a ma
jority ot the stockholders were in favor or against a pay.
ment of said instalment.
2d. Because two of the members voting for said re to
lutiou compose a part of a number consisting of not more
than six persons, who have purchased up a majority of
tlie stock of this B mk, for the purpose, as we believe, of
controlling its operations, and the said membershaving
declared at this B i ird their object in purchasing aaid
stock was not for an interest of 8 pe r cent.
31. Because they believe it a diry they owe to the
stockholders is well as to the public—to prevent aa dar
ns in their power the stock getting into the hands of apecu.
tutors, and thereby becom -a private institution, nod sub
ject to all the changes and uncertainties es individual
commercial establishments, and consequently liable to
become a nu;s mee to the public, as has recently happen
ed to a B mk und- r sini lar cir -iimstances in the state—
all which they conceive their duty to oppose and prevent
if possible.

And whereas, for the reus ms mentioned in said pro
test, and for other goo 1 and sufficient re isons in law, wo
consider the said order of revocation as null and void,
the said Direct ir» having no power to pass the same.
W <•■. therefore, the undersigned, in behalf of ourselves
and all s ockhoiders who have paid into the said Bank
tin- said ins'alm-nt of 25 per cent, in obedience tg said
order. & on the faith of the same, & in belnlf also of all
who m y pay or tender the same on or before the said

we consider the order of the J 7rh of October as still in
