AGITATION IN GEORGIA.
A correspondent enquires the meaning of the
late political assemblage mid doing* at Allien*, in
Georgia? If Nullification was meant, and if so,
how Mr. Crawford came to preside nt a Ntillifica.
tion meeting, it boing understood that lie is “all the
way," against Mr. Calhoun and his doctrines, and
in favor of Van Buron and tho new Tariff?
Those interrogatories furnish u« with tho occa
sion of making some observations ou the luto re
markable events in Georgia.
How tho meeting at Athens came to assemble,
and Mr. Crawford to bo put in the cliair, will bo
seen from the annexed quotation from tho Charles
ton Evening Post.
GEORGIA WILL RE TRUE TO HER
SELF.
■ , ^® following nre extracts from letters receiv
ed lit tins city last evening :—
..mi ‘ Alliens, Georgia, Aug 2, 1832.
1 hi re are nmuy persons collected hero at
this time, to witness the annual exhibition of
the Collogo; and for the last few days as much
political excitement has pervaded the pluce, ns
1 have ever witnessed in Charleston. A public
invitation was given to the friends of Jackson,
and those opposed to Nullification as the mode
of operation for a redress of our evils; tho oth
er party immediately put up another invitation,
inviting all opposed to the American System,
without distinction of pnriy, to assemble at the
some hour and same pluce to meet the others_
The meeting was held at the College Chapel
yes.orday afternoon. It was crowded to excess.
U. II. Crawford, Esq. was called to the Chair,
ami a resolution brought forward by the party
opposed to Nullification, for the appointment of
n committee to draught resolutions expressive
of the feelings of the meeting; hut nt this mo
a»eilr* F* C,a>lon an<^ Rwrrien entered.—
Mr- C. moved n re consideration of the ques
tion, statiug thut ho hod brought resolutions with
him in order to save time. Mueh warm discus
sion ensued on tho subject;—and, after u con
siderable time, Mr. Clayton’s were read, propo
sing a Convention of Delegates from Each
County hi the State, to meet nt Milledgovillo in
November. An amendment was tlieu offered
1»y the other party, expressing their disappro
bation of the doctrines of Nullification, and sta
ting their continued devotion to Geuoral Jack
«on. I have no doubt it was done purposely
to put Air. Rerrien in an awkward situation,
with regard to Jackson. Mr. R. spoke against
the amendment, and in tile most feeling aud el
oquent strain I have over beard from the lips of
onc l1® said, if that amendment was car
ried, he should leave that place an bumbled
man stated that his mind was already made
up nsto his course, and at a proper time would
bo expressed. He spoke in complimentary
terms of South Carolina and her delegation,
and that in the day of trial, S. Carolina and
Georgia would bo found shoulder to shoulder to
gether. Mr. Clayton also spoke eloquently on
tho subject—lie asked them iftboy were nut rea
dy to resist from this time, and from this very
moment ? lie was answered with unbounded
applause. The amendment was then lost, and
the origiuai resolutions, as introduced by Mr.
Clayton, carried by a large majority. Thus was
a most glorious and decided victory obtained o
ver the opponents of Nullification. A largo
meeting in favor of the Nullification doctrines,
will be held to-morrow at Lexington.
xiicrc is no aoubt that the original motive of
the meeting was to procure a popular expression
in favor of Jackson and Van Buren, and to attempt
to identify their support with opposition to Nulli
cation, aa aynonimoua. Those who proposed thiB,
seem to have had the ascendency at firat, as is
manifest from the organization of tho mooting,
and other circumstances. Yet no sooner was the
meeting addressed by Messrs. Clayton and Berrien,
and the doctrines of Nullification enforced by tho
eloquence of the latter, than the tide turned, and
those who camo to glorify Jackson and Van Bu.
ron, wore compelled to submit to being disarmed
by thoir adversaries, and to soo their vantage
ground occupied by thoso ovor whom they antici
pated an assurod triumph. Mr. Crawford was
compelled us Chairman, to authenticate resolutions
complimentary of S. Carolina, Calhoun and Nulli
fication!
We have heretofore published Mr. Clayten’s
resolutions which superseded those of tho Van
Burenitos, offered by Mr. Torrance, but we now
republish them as a most docisive indication of the
revolution of opinion in Georgia.
“Whereas, the people of Georgia, as well in
primary assemblies of citizens, in their respective
counties, as by their Representatives in tho legis
lature thereof, have repeatedly and solemnly do
clarcd the several acts laying duties on imports (in
so fur as such acts transcended the purposes of rev
enue, and wero designed for tho protection ofnmn
ufacturea,) to bo unjust, oppressive and unconstitu
tional, nnd bavo solemnly announced their deter
mination not to submit to such unlawful exactions,
and thoir consequent resoluton to resist them, if
after reasonable time, they should not bo repealed:
And, whereas the good people of this State, and
others, having common interests with them in this
matter, have looked to tho period of the pay.
ment of the nntional debt, as that at which the in
come ra,ROtl l*y taxation, should be reduced to tho
sum required by tho wants of the Government, by
duties fairly imposed upon all the imports of tho
l mted Statos, and have expected from the justice
of that Congress, which has just closed ,ts session,
a repeal of these obnoxious laws: And, whereas,
this reasonable expectation has bcon disappointed,
end tho Protection of Manufactures is now avow.
“f “ principle of Federal Legislation,
Be it, therefore He wired, That we, as free cittv.ens
°t Georgia, will not longor submit to a system of le
gislation, which is arbitrary, unequal, and uncon.
stitutional, und, therefore, un:ust:—That it ho re
commended to our Ibllow-citizens in the several
counties to elect Delegates ton Stalo Convention,
10 assemble at Millodgville, on tho Monday
in November next, and to invest them with full
powers in behalf of tho good people ofGoorgis to
maintain, presorve, and defend the rights and pri
vileges of the freo citizens of this state.
Ileaolvr.il, That boa Committee of corres.
pondonco, to confer with our fcllow-cttizens of other
States, on all matters connected with our common
interest.”
It la in vain for the prints opposed to Nullifica
tion to affect to misunderstand the spirit of these
resolutions, or to endoavor to persuade their rend
C's or themselves, that Nullification is not meant,
"r Convention proposed is merely for the
purpose of amending the State Constitution of
Georgia, Not to be able to sec, is evidence of
Idindnt ss to be unwilling to acknowledge, is proof
of weakness. Nullification, thorough and unqual
ified, is meant—the Convention suggested, is for
the purpose of co-operating with S. Carolina in
resisting the Tariff, and defying the power of the
General Government. We have noted for some
time, the “prnmonitary symptoms” of a conversion
♦ o Nullification in Georgia; or rather, the Tropic
have ever been thus inclined, but the connexion
between certain leaders and Gen. Jackson, and the
influence of these le&iUrtjMessr.. Crawford, For.
•
•ytli, and others of that party) have until now
kept the stream within its embankments.
It lus at length burst through the obstruction, and
“ '■ "een l,,>w impotent ths influence of Mr. Craw,
lord was to prevent it. Georgia will be overrun
quickly, and the sympathy of her people for a
speculative doctrine so conformable to what they
have repeatedly practised, will presently appear.
Col. 1 roup i* stated to have joined nullification.
Judge* Berrien and Clayton have openly avowed
the doctrine. Col. Seaborn Jones has avouched it
under his signature, and it is plain that nullifica.
tion has found in Georgia, a congenial element.
1 huso silly parly designations, “Clark and Troup,”
which mean nothing, or mean only who shall
huvo the loaves aud fishes, will bo swept away, and
now | arties formed on deejier Inundations.
lhere lias been another great meeting at Ia>x.
ingion, in Oglethorpe county, yet more unequive.
cal in its indications of the triumph of Nullification
in Georgia. The Augusta Chronicle, a Nullifica.
tion puper, thus speaks of it:—
“The number of persons presont, was variously
estimated at from 1,00U to 1,500. Col. Thomas
t. Foster replied to a Toast from the Committee
of Arrangements, in favor of the Georgia Delcga.
tion in Congress, and declared that there was no
longer any hope of redress from Congress. Judgo
Clayton and Judge Berrien wore also warmly
1 ousted by the Coinmitlco, and replied in most
able and eloquent addresses, which wore rccciv.
ed with rapturous applause. And the most do.
terminod sentiments of resistance nnd tlioso
most favorable to nullification and tho nullifiers
of Carolina! both in tho speeches, the resolutions,
and tho toasts, uniformly met with tho loudest
and most enthusiastic applause!! There was no
artificial excitement in all this. And to avoid it,
no procestiion wan formed, no music wan present,
ed, and neither liquors or wines of nny kind
were used, or any bevorage whatever, except wator.
1 ho most perfect freedom of opinion prevailed;
nnd the committee one and oil, were repeatedly
invited by the President, and tho committee, to
address tho company, and to ofier to its consider,
at ion any opinions or suggestions they might en
tertain. J b
Col. Joseph II. Lumpkin, from tho Committee
appointed, introduced a preamble and resolutions,
declaring the Tariff laws unconstitutional, oppres.
8ivc, and unjust—that tho people of Georgia have
no redress left, but through a resort to their State
Sovereignty and resorved rights—that ‘ire ought
not, cannot and will not longer submit!'—that
should the General Government attempt to coerce
into submission, any Slate that may interpose her
sovereignty to arrest tho evil, we should consider
her defence essontial to our safety—that tho conn
ty will elect delegates for the State Convention
in Milledgcvilo, recommended by tho Athens
Meeting, with full powers to protect and do
fend the rights of their constituents—that n com
imtteo of correspondence he appointed—and that
tho other counties bo invited to concur iu these
objects. I huso resolutions were unanimously
adopted, with acclamation, and none were so loudly
& enthusiastically cheered, as tlioso against submis
sion, Sc. indicating a determination to defond Caroli.
na, shouid the threatened coercion be attempted.
And a correspondent of tho Charleston Even
ing Post in tho following manner:—
Extract of a letter received from a Georgian, by
the Augusta mail of last evening.
It is said all those who supported Clayton’s
resolution, warmly advocated the doctrines of
Nullification and a determination to stnjfc or
swim in supporting Carolina iu her cause.
But ns chocring us this meeting was, we have
been allotded much more gratification by ihe
news of tho Lexington meeting. All hail Ogle
thorpe ! Governor Hamilton may again use his
quotation a9 regards Oglethorpe. The public
meeting which you saw called by a uotice last
week, took place accordingly. We have not yet
received the particulars—save by those, who at
tended. and who can give them from memory.
Tile meeting was a powerful one—upwards of
one thousand persons attended, from diffeieni
parts of the State; so much larger was the
meeting than was anticipated, »liat they were
compelled to adjourn from the Court House to
an open field. The following is the only Reso
lution that 1 couiu procure, aud I have it only
from the remembrance of one who was pre
sent.
lie it therefore Resolved, That should any of
the Southern State* he involved in difficulties
by attempting to repeal the Tariff, theu tlie Free
People of Georgia will not see them put dowo
or defeated iu the attempt.
The Resolution was introduced by Col. Jo
seph H. Lumpkin, who prefaced it by aa eloquent
Speech, in which he pledged his life, bis fortune,
and iiis sacred honor—aud more (ban all his
children's lii'es to their support. Col. Lumpkin
is one of the most rcspectnble citizens of this
Slute, and must be remembered ns the bold de
fender.of the course of Governor Troup in the
coutcst with the Genera! Government. He wus
supported by Judge Clayton, Judge Berrien, aud
many other gentlemen of distinction in the .State.
As soon ns 1 can procure the account of the pub
lic proceedings, 1 will send then) to you. Hard*
ly does a citizen travel through the country, but
with Ins return his opinions aie changed, aud
from the information I have received, it is sain
two thirds of the People of thi* State are ill fa
vor of Nullification.
The doctrines of Nullification are evidently gain
mi? ground. S. Carolina is becoming daily more
united; Georgia is on tho march to join her, and
in N. Carolina, its ranks are rapidly strengthening.
The first tendency of its gathering strength is to
annihilato Van Burcnism, and to merge Jackson,
ism in higher considerations. Whether its ulti
mate tendency he conservative towards the Union,
as tho Nullifycrs contend, or destructive as its ene
mies believe, time must solve. It is a fearful
problem, in the solution of which, all civil
ized mankind^ liavo an interest. For ourselves,
wo take a distinction between the abstract doctrine,
and the expediency of its application for tho causo
assigned. We are not prepared to say that it is
not the true theory of the Constitution—the natu
ral and necessary end of those principles of ’98,
which arc consecrated in our affect ions—but wo
abhor the lolly and madness, which would sncrifico,
or even hazard, national blessings innumerable,
irrecovernblo if onco lost, unsurpassed in the past
or present throughout tho world’s circuit, to re
dress wrongs either wholly imaginary, or which
weighed against those blessings, are less, far loss,
than u wart in magnitude, compared to high Olym
pus.

I hose returns vary lb" relative aggregates of
yosterdny but little, while they include some ofthe
strong holds of Jacksonism, as Scojl, Campbell,
Hardin, Arc. A friend from Virginia, now at
Frankfort, endorses a bulletin of the 8tli—“The
People of Kentucky Rre in high spirits for tho
success of Clay." Wo see no good reason for
doubting the success of Buckner, but tho experi
cnce of last year will restrain us from hallooing
until out of the woods. Tho Commentator, in a
bulletin of the 8th, triumphs at the prospect of the
overthrow of Jacksonism in Kentucky. Tho U.
States Telegraph of Tuesday evening contains
♦ he»e jurt reflections on the Kentucky elections
Il IS a fact we believe, that the parli/.ttiia of Jack
eon despair ut N. York, ullliough tkeir prudence
will not |H)nnit them to confess their foars; trera
ble lor I’enusylvania, and rely for tucccax pfiirci
paUy upon Kentucky and Ohio. Kentucky will
assuredly fail them, whothcr Buckner ia elected or
not, a* no man of his friends can run up to Mr.
Clay's popularity in that State. If the Anti-Ma
hoiih follow the example of their brethren in Now
^ ork and 1'ennsylvanin, nx they no doubt will,
Jackson lias no chance in Ohio. In fine,
we sincerely und religiously l»elicve, that lie is dee.
lined to an overthrow us signal und complete, as
his triumph in 182H. The enthusiasm of that year
is all evaporated; the hickory pules which once
disgracod the lund aro no more to ho scon; his
name bus become so odious, that even in Philadel
phia, onco the tower of Jacksonism, his office
holders rully tlWir forces under some other flag; ho
is coldly accepted in Virginia and N. Carolina, as
an altrrnalire hardly less distustefuJ than Henry
Clay; lm is abominated in S. Carolina, and in a
word, his comj»etency and qualifications are du
spised and ridiculed by men of sense, every where.
I arty orgaizition, and Troasury influence alono

Wretched old man! who has thrown away, sacri

wretches who have wormed themselves into liis
confidence, a popularity, which, properly directed,
was adequate to atcliiove the vastost results for his
country and his own fame. Hu tnay be again

Wl-t Virginian attached to tin reputation which

thorn birth, &, human nature itself? No true Virgiui
an can or will rojoicc. We admit that upon Virginia
principles, thcro is an appearance of reason in the
propriety of excluding Mr. Clay, by electing Gen.
Jackson; hut what man of enlightened reflection
will not regret the necessity, which to avoid Mr.
Clay, great and distinguished, compels him to select
Gen. Jackson, confessedly unequal to his fortune?
the slave of passion, and the puppet of such men
as Kcmlcll and I.owis?
From the U. S. Telegraph of yesterday.
“It would perhaps bo premature at this luno to
hazard any conjecture as to the probablo successor
defeat of either of tho two contending parties,
lliat the election will bo a close ono and warmly
contested wo have every reason to believe. The
officers of the Government have been, for a con
sidorable limo, busy at work; every expedient has
been resorted to by thorn te disseminate, far and;
wido, tho poison contained in the extra Globe’
and In short, no stono has been left un
turned by the retainers of tho kitchen cabinet
ot, to continue tlio spoils ot victory in the present
corrupt and incompctoiit hands. By the returns
given to-day, it will bo seen that the opposition
is largely in the majority; and although (his was
expected, for we always hear first from the districts
in which it is acknowledged the Clay party consi
derably preponderates; yet we were not prepared
to see tho majority as great as it is. In Favette
county for instance, where the parties have been
| heretofore nearly balanced, the majority for the
Clay candidates is almost two to one. Should Gen.
Jackson lose Kentucky, as bis opponents sanguinc
ly anticipate that he will, he will then begin to
foar that bis popularity cannot stand every thing;
that, Roman as he is, the time has not yet
come when a Chief Magistrate of this republic
can, like a Roman Emperor, appoint his suc
cessor. Should he lose Kentucky, tho effect
on some of tho western State*, on whose al
legianco ho builds so largely, will be most dis
astrous to bis hopes, and lie may then begin to count
the value of those talented, high-mindod, and pa
triotic supporters, whom tho intrigues of the grace
leas pack by which ho is surrounded, as well as hi*
own misconduct, has driven from his side."
From the United States Gazette, of August 14.
We sloted noma time since, that the Jackson
party in this city and county would not dare to
assemble in the name of their “military chieftain.”
It is now evident; and we believe that in one in
stance, where the name of “Jackson” was insert,
ed in a call for ono of the county districts, it wus
struck out at the printing office. It is certain now
that the nanio of Jackson has lost its potency;
there are no more miracles to be wrought there*
with| the people are alive to whatever concerns
their interests; and the veto message, which-was
a deadly blew aimed at the Judiciary and the Ta
riff as at the Bank, has been Bignally operative in*
opening the eyes of the people to the high handed
measures of a man who owe* his election to a
strange combination of circumstances. Now that
Jackson is in is dona in the tlirco congressional dis
tricts of Philadelphia county, people begin to in
quire what will ho put up in its place to opposo
republicanism and the cause of the country. Wo
shall see, ere long, what expedient will bo bit on;
meantime let till be assured that nothing of Jack
sonism will be mentioned, it smalls too strong of
the veto.
