The proceedings of (he Anti-Tariff Meoting in
Oglethorpe County, Gcougia, ought to lix public
attention. Mr. (.'rawlord being the Chairman of
the Committee, must of course have bepii the au
thor of the Report and Resolutions adopted on that
occasion. This is (he second Meoting ot the kind
at which Air. Crawford has either presided or act
ed a prominent part. [Charleston Patriot.
It i* so often that fallacy is successful by uttfiir
comparison, that it i> only hece«$nry to indicate the
sou ice of lito sophistry that it should be over
thrown. The Planter is now able to (lurchase
Domestic Plains for 50 cent* per yard, ailirm the
Taritlists, when previous to the Tariff of 1824 he
had to pay $1 for an imported article ot no better
quality. Now,the comparison implied hero is be
tween the pi ice of tile domestic article at the pre
sent period, and the price of the foreign aiticle at
a former period; whereas the true comparison is
between the price of the domestic article now, and
the present piice ol titcfo/cign article at the placr
whence imported, adding the charges attending
importation, i here is a little change of /’/ocrltere j
: j well as time, that totally alters the aspect oi the j
question of comparative cheapness. Instead then
ot a lull liotn $1 to 50 cents, comparing the price
of toreign fabrics ol Woollen in 1821,with the price
of domestic Woollens in 1828, there is every pre
sumption that there is a reduction from $1 to 37 1-2
cents, and perhaps to 2"> cents, on a comparison
al th.j present price of foreign and domestic Wool
lens, abating the duties. Why do not the Woollen
Manufacturers submit the matter to the test of
'■ompelition, by tjking ot] the duties for only one
year? But while with a most inexplicable incon
sistency they argue in favour of their ability to
wotk cheaper than the English Manufacturer,they
in the same breath ask for the privilege ol exclud
ing that same English Ai inutacturer from our
market. They b ar him and they don't fear him—
they ask for duties of proeclion of one hundred
per cent and yet the, allege they can sell cheap
er by fifty per cent. [76.

The committee appointed on ihe 2f>d i;lt. I y |},c
citizens of Oglethorpe county, i . consider and re
port the measures bust calculated to counteract the
baleful and oppre- ive operation of the Tariff, en
.iCti-rl at the I <'t sc--ion of Cotigre--., It« port that
tli'Jt have maturely considered this subject, refer

• .wing rf/iorl V r. vhtliotm.
No act of /iegiidatiou, since tV* organization of
the present goveinincnt, J a* pioduced •ncli deep
t.n 1 general excitement as the act in rjuestion.— ■
Nor h is this excitement hern m any degtec allay
ed, by rifiy prospective benefits or adv .i.iugc* like
iy to result from the I arid act.
I rntn the best con idciation that)our commit—
t.-o have been enabled to he .tow on the subject;
1 hay are constrained to pronounce the I arid act
unconstitutional in it* intention* arid enactments.
Nor is this conviction of its uncon*tituti<>r,ali(y
Hoftenod by the hi lief, that those who have impos
ed it upon us, believed that they had a cons-itu
tlonal right to pan such a law II the woi ls ot M,<
constitution were the only evidence from whje ,
fhepowei to pass such an act Was to be deiived,
your committee arc of opinion, that no such au
thority can he burly or rationally deduced firm,
♦.hat hallowed in*', .men' )! t the Joint, ds of the
i ederal convention sl -w corirlnsive!y, that the
subject of promoting the liberal arts, vi/: dononic
manttlaeturos, was brought directly under 'he • o.
i.!-:ra!;on< the federal conversion; vr’.ich l «fy,
after much uudseuous deu'oeraiiuo, adopted tin
clause in the constitution which gives power to
l'..u*,ress to promote lliu useful aru, by securing
t.< inventors anti authors the exclusive right, lor a
limited lime, to their inventions and works. 1'his
it clearly the only clan-e in the constitution, wnich
y t i to Congress any power over the • object, and
tliat clause stt trtly limits Congress to a spec me made
td promoting the u-ohi! arts.
I hen* is one othcrclati.se in the constitution
wb'cli Inn a hearing upon this question: '1 he clause
j ol the constitution which prohibits any state from
| laying any duty, or impest, upon the iuqioitatinii of
, I'Mfign merchandize, without the consent ol Uou
' giC'S, un-l even the proceeds of siic.li iui|H»t or du
| ty are logo into the Tailci al Trrasin y. This clause
j was uiaiiilestly insetted lor the purpose of ennbl
! IUR each Stale to protect its own manufactures,
| within its own limits. Lvcn i! a st ite was desirous
1 of having a monopoly of the market of lire United
Mates, it was in its power without asking the con
sent ol Congress. It had only to grant a houuty to
its iiunutacturcrs sufficient to enable them to un
dersell the foreign manufacturer. This would have
| tin own the burthen of supporting Slate ni.nmtac
tures u|>ou those who received the benefit of the
monopoly, li the scrjieble lor tiiis monopoly had
been conducted in this ui.uiiiur, no liiuiuiur would
have been uttered. But it suited the greedy capit
alist of the North, and the gambling politicians ol
the W.-st, to secure this monopoly without paying
lor it; or, in other words, to make us pay the price
ol our oppression. The gtaut ol power to a *tate
piotect its manufactures, proves incontestihiy that
• he framers of the constitution did not believe that
I they had granted the power to piotect domestic
! m uiulactures to the Congress of the United S ate
j Your committee conscientiously believed that no
•nan ol common honesty and common sense, at
; ler reading the constitution of (lie U. States, tht
I Journal ol the fed aid convention, and the report
! of the proceedings of that convention made by Uu
j tiier Martin, :tn active and vigilant member of it,
j to the Legislature ol Mai yhtnd, can, for a moment,
I believe that Congress h is the light to protect do
! inestic manufacture* in aiiy other manner than by
granting patents to inventors ::r.<! authors, lor their
several inventions and works. Your committee is,
therefore, constrained to believe that (lie inajoiily
I of Uoi igress in pas mg tin; existing l' uifl act, felt
power and forgot right. Notwithstanding this be
i lid, your committee arc of opinion that no mea
j sure ol violence, ought to be resorted to by the p o
j pie of the Southern Slates, to relievo themselves
| from the iiTieoustitutioual li unjust operation of the
• existing Tat-ilf.
1st. Because the union of these States 5s dear to
j the citizens of this meeting, and to the people of me
! Southern States, which might be jeoparded by mea
[ sures ol violence.
I 2d. Because your committee believe that the
1 operation of that measure may be effectually coun
1 lei acted by peaceable and eoiii.titution.il means.
8d. Because it will have a tendency to estab
lish domestic manufactures in the Southern Stjtes,
] which will radically counteract the efforts of our
• oppress, rs.
4th. Becagr" it will have a tendency to intro
i duce economy amoug u«.
Glli. And last, it is piobable that in process ol
j time it will procure us a supply of manufactures
■ cheaper than we have heretofore pi join ed them
I hem foreign nations. This will certainly be the
ease ;1 the committee have formed a correct esti
mate of the capital anil skill which are ready'to be
| vested in inanulacttires.
* our commit ee are, nevertheless, oi opinion,
that t!ie evils ijitlicted upon the people ol the
Southern Statu.11, by the Tariff act, are greater
! Hun those which produced the revolution which
rendered us an independent na'ioii. But there is
this striking difference, between the evils that
produced the revolution, and those inllicted by
the present tariff act—the former, Irom their na
lure, would become heavier and more oppressive
by time; the latter would necessarily become
lighter by tune, and would probably effect their
own cure. But lor this difference, your committee
would bp ol opinion, that the situation of the
Southern States, would be analogous to that of t..
United .Slates, immediately preccmhg (he revolu
tion, and might justify a resort to the measures
pursued by them upon that momentous occasion.
Vour committee can derive no consolation from
the fac t, that our sufferings jre inllicted by the? bo
dy in which w e are represented, rather than by
the Parliament of Lieat Britain. The fact that
the present evils have been inllicted by our bre
thren, aggravates rather, than alleviates their
weight.
Vour committee no>v proceed to explain the
measures, ol a peaceable and constitutional char
acter, which they believe will have a tendency to
counteract and correct the grievances of which we
complain.
1st. Let it be recommended to the Legislature,
to lay an excise upon ill. articles, the grow th or
manufacture of those states, a majority of whose
members in Congress voted for the present i'ariff,
which may be brought into this state alter a given
day.
2 i. Or pass a law, permitting such articles to be
vended only by persons having a licence so high,
as to amount to a prohibition.
11 either of these measures is adopted, the Ta
riff Slates, will be deprived of the gain which they
expected to derive irom fleecing tho people of the
Southern States.
Sd. Let domestic manufactures be established n,
encouraged amongst us. This will also defeat the
object oi the t.iritfites, which was the monopoly of
the market of the Southern States.
■Ith. Keonomy in every branch of expenditure
is one of the measures best calculated to counter
act i|ie Tariff. Voui committee, therefore, recom
mend to their fellow-citizens the most rigid econ
omy. W hen we see the inhabitants ol the Tariff
-udirs, rcroiimung to sec wtilch amongst then: sli ill
•lcece us most effectually, surely the induce
ment to practice economy is strong. We are ad
monished hy various circumstances at this time to
practice the most ligid economy. The staple
commodity ol our State, L.irely remunerates the
Agricultui ist, anrl it is doubllul whetiier any u
ther article cun be substituted that will be more
profitable.
Your committee, therefore, u;mn the fullest con
:>i ler.ttion that they have beau able to give the
subject, submit for the consideration of tins meet
ing tho Report, and the following resolutions, viz:
l>i. Jleaolued, That it be earnestly recommcnd
<“ 1 lo the next Legislature to lay an excise upon all
articles tho growth or manufacture of those states,
a majority ot whose incmtier.s voted lor the Turin
act o! the Jit pc -don of Congress, which may ho
1’ruugh: into this Mate after the l.rat day ol .1 anu
aty next, or adopt such other measure .is they in
their wi -d .in may dovia •, calculated to deprive
’hose States of the *a'o ot their articles in this
Jiaie.
2d. Jlrrolved, Fha* i! be recommended, and it is
hereby recommended to the ciii/.eu* ot tins county,
to tiiumifacliire and provide, as tar as practicable,
all articles recessary Icm- clothing and maintaining
their families. And this meeting pledge tlieui

in their power.

to have taken place in Ireland.
The Belfast, steamer, from Oporto, with S3 pas
sengers, refugees from Portugal, had arrived, after
a tedious and disastrous passage, having lour inn
burst her boiler, and having struck upon a rock 12!
miles ;o the south ol Cape r Utisterre, and received
such damage, that she was in imminent danger ul|

The army assembling *tt Adrianoplc is stated to

Fiie negoti ition between tho Greek Bishops sent
Irom Constantinople, aiul the Greeks, has failed.
I he latter declined auy negotiation, but upon the
basis bf the treaty of the 6th July,
i The operations of Greece have not ot late been

the 22d May inclusive.
| l’hcy contain cveral proclamations fiom the
I Commander in chief of tho Army in Peru, to tho
Soldiers of tho Republic, 'o the troops of Colom

upper section of tho Country. Tho tenor ol these
proclamations would seem to us toevinc- a spirit
of d tciniim-d opposition to the threatened invasion
of Columbia. But, there arc m my circumstances
which must render this opposition ineffectual.—
I he. power of Colombia is so superior to that of
Pen:, her resources are so much more extensive,
; and hove all, she has at the head of her armies
and inJividu ■! whose military skill and reputation,
are ol an otdoi so m reh higher than ina of any
commander to whom •'em can commit her desti
nies, that wo appiohend the struggle will be .1
short and in all probability a bloodless one. At
his critical junctuic, too, it will be perceived
that the crops in Poru have tailed. This circum
stance will greatly add to her embarrassments,
and while she is engaged in a war with a lorcign
! power, he will be uuder tlie necessity ol dop-nd
ing upon the products ol other countries loi the
support and maintenance of her armies—in addition
to 'his, her cities arc in ruins from the eHb<Ms
of an Earthquake, and her Congress at a most
uuloi unate period, laid a duly upon the preducts

MR. ADAMS.
Hie zealous adherents of Mr. A lams have baeti
clamorous iu their calls upon his opponents for a
looe. time. to state to the public the acts which Mr.
Vuina ha* done, to justify his exclusion front the
Presidential chair. They have exultingly culled
upon the public to judge of Mr. Adams hy his
acts. The justice of their calls is admitted, and
the calls obeyed, knd his adherents aru now
called upon in turn, to state to the public, whether
Mr. Adams has not done the .acts charged upon
him hy his opponents? and if admitted, whe'.hei lie
could have dune any other acts, than those charg
ed and admitted, w'lich could call more loudly and
justly lor his exclusion trom oliice. Hut last these
acts should he forgotten, a recapitulation of them
will now be presented to the public in review.
~Yttmber one.—Mr. Adams is charged with de
priving the public of the U. S. of their written con
stitution, or having rendered it utterly inopera
tive in protecting their rights, by the rules lie has
adopted iu his construction ol it, ami declared the
superiority of unlimited governments, over those
limited in their powers hy written restraints. The
enquiry here is, has Mr. Adams clone these things’
II so, could lie have done any thing which would
more loudly call for his indignant expulsion from
the Presidential chair? Would not this most daring
act he aggravated by the recollection, that it is in
the most direct contrast to Mr. Adams' avowed o
piuions, np to Ihe year 1823? Opinions expressed
ina spirit ol patriotic enthiisiann—Let then, this
tact he tested by Mr. Adjms’ own showing, l.i
relation to his complete obliteration ol all the res
it.lining written provisions of llio constitution, let
the following extract from his mess .ge to Con
gress, Dec. 1823, be introduced as evidence suOi
cicnt in itself, to prove this tact. “ But, if the
power to exercise exclusive legislation in all cases,
whatsoever over the District of Columbia; if ihe
power to lay and collect taxes, duties, impos s, and
excises, to pay the debts, and provide for the
common defence and general-welfare of the Uni
ted States; if the power to regulate commerce
with foreign nations and among the several Suies,
and with the Indian tribes; to fix the standard ol
weights and measures; to . -tab ish pu- t-ollie « .m i
post-roads; to declare war, to raise ami support ar- |
mies; to provide and ruaiutain a navy; to dis- :
pose of and make all needful rules and regulations
respecting the territory or other property' belong
ing to the United Stales; and to make all laws
which shall be necessary and proper lor carrying
tbese powers into execution: If these powirs, and
others enumerated m the Constitution, rnny be
effectually brought into action by laics promo
ting the unprove/iu nt oj Agriculture, Commerce,
and Manufactures, the cultivation and en
couragement of Ike Mechanic and of the elegant
Arts, the advancement oj Literature, and the.
progress of th .Sciences, ornamental and pro- !
found,—to refrain from exercising to cm for the
benefit oj the People themselves, would be to
hide in the earth the talent committed to our
charge—would be treachery to the most sacred of
trusts.”
In relation tp Mr. Adams’ declaration, in his
me. sage of the superiority of governments of un
limited, over those of limited pmveis; as in direr:
contrast with his otvu avowed opinions, untill die
end of the year 1823; let llw following extract
taken from -his own most labored and deliberate
avowals, be the evidence.
From his oration delivered the din of July 1821.
Again—'1 And now, friends and countrymen, if

world, (he first observers of nutation and aberra
tion, the discovers of maddening ether and inri

Extracts ol a letter from Mr. Adams, Secretarvof
•State, to Mr. Anderson, Minister Plenipotentia
ry to Colombia, dated 27th .May, IS23.
“ As a genera) movement in human afftirs,
it is perhaps no more than a development ol
principles first brought into action by the separa
tion of these States from Great Britain, and by th<
practical illustration given in the information and
establishment of our unioti, to the doctrine that vo
luntiry agreement is the only legitimate source ol
authority among men; and that all just government
is a compact.”
A%ain—“ Their policy, their interest, and their
feelings, all concurred to favor tile cause of the co
lonies; and the principles upon which the right of
independence has been maintained by tile South
American Patriots, have been approved, not only
as identical with those upon which our own inde
pendence was assorted and achieved, hut as in
volving the whole theory of government on the
emphatically American foundation of the sove
reignty of the people, and the unalienable rluhts of
man.”
A coin from the The Hepnhlic of Co
lombia has a constitution deliberately formed and
adopted upon principles entirely Republican, with
nil elective legislature in two branches, a distri
bution of the powers of Government, with the <-x j
ceplion of the federative character, almost id. nlie.il |
with our own, and article* declaratory ol the u.itu
ral lights of the citizen to personal security, pro
perty, and reputation, and of (he inviolable liberty
of the press. With such a constitution, ir, such a
country, the modifications which experience may
prove tit be necessary for rendering the political in
stitulions most effectually competent to the ends of
civil Government, will make thc.r cr.vu y,ay by

'Oinid mind to read the foregoing, and following
quo'aliens, all iroin Air. Adams, biniselt, without
icing struck with surprise uu ! honor, at the con
trast of the spirit and language employed hy Mr.
Adams in 1821, and 1323, to get himself iuto tho
Presidential other; with the spirit fct language em
ploy, d to keep himiclf in it, in 1323, to enlarge
the scope Si ind it pence of his ambition, &. tiuaily,
to extend the duration of that indulgence—But
hear him id his own words—reflect upon them —
analyse them—mark the contrast; aud tiien de
cile upon the tact and the object.
“ i'-mope, with a few partial “and unhappy ex
cepti-ms, has enjoyed teu years of peace, during
wliicii ait her Hovernment*, whatever the theory
of their constitutions uiay have been, are succes
sively taught to leel that the end ol their institution
is tho happiness of the people; a-i t tii.it th .. exer
cise ot power among men can be justified only by
dm blessings it confers upon those over whom it is
extended.”
-iifum—■' The great object ot this institution of
civil gov ernment, is the improvement of tho condi
tion ol tho>c who aro parties to the social compact.
And no government, in whatever form constituted,
cau accomplish tho lawful ends of its institution,
but in proportion as it improvos tho condition of
those over whom it is established. Hoads and Ca
nals by multiplying and facilitating rue communi
cations and intercourse between distant regions,
and multitudes of men, arc among the most impor
tant means ol improvement. 15ui moral, political,
intellectual improvement, are duties assigned, Ly
the author ot our existence, to social, no less tiiau
to individual man.”
” in assuming her station among the civilized
nations of the earth, it would seem that our countrv
had contracted ihe engagement to contribute her
share of mind, ol labor and ol oxpensu to the im
provement ol those parts of knowledge which lie
beyond the reach ofindividuul acquisition; and par
ticularly to geographical and astronomical science.
Looking hack to the history ouly of the half centu
ry since the Declaration ofour Independence,and
observing the generous emulation with which tho
governments of Franco, Great Ihituin and Russia
have devoted the genius, the intelligence, tho
treasures of their respective nations, to .he com
mon improvement of the species in these branches
of science, is it not incumbent upon us to inquire,
wlielher we are not bound, by obligations of a high
and honorable character, to contribute our purlieu
ol energy and exertion to the common stock? Tba
voyages of discovery, prosecuted in the course of
that time, at the expenses of those nations, have not
only redounded to their glory, but to the improve
ment ot human knew ledge. We have been parta
kers ol that improvement, and owe for it a sabred
debt, not only ol gratitude, but of equal or propor
tional exertion, in the same common cause.”
Maik the debt of gratitude due from Europe
to America in 1321—mark the debt of giatitudo
due from America to Europe, 1325.
j’lijni'ii -•* Connected with the establishment of
an Univorsity,,or separate from it, might be under
taken the erection ot an astronomical observatory,
with the provision for the support of an astronomer,
to he in constant attendance ol observation upon
th - phenomena ol the heavens, and for the periodi
cal publication of his observations. It is with no
feeling of pride, as an American, that the remark
may be made, that, on the comparatively small ter*
iilorial surface of Europe, there arc existing up
wards of one hundred and thirty of these light
houses ol tho skies; while throughout the wholo*A
mrrirun hemisphere, there is not otic. If we re
jlccl a moment upon lh« discoveries, which, iq tjyj
ia-1 four centuries, have been made in the physi
cal consti'ution of the universe, by the means of
thc?r i>uiltling*,and ol observ. rs stationed in them ,
si. dl we doubl ot their usefulness, to every natiou?
And w hile scarcely a year passes over our heads
without blinking some new as ronotnical discovery
to light,which we must fain icceiveat second band
horn Europe, arc wc not cutting ourselves off from
the means of returning light for light, while wu
nave neither observatory nor observer upon our
half of the globe, and tho earth revolves in perpet
ual darkness to our uns -arching eyes?”
I tie -pirit of improvement is abroad upon tho
cattti. It stimulates the heart, and sharpens tho
faculties, not ofour fellow citizens alone, hut of tho
nalioas of Europe, and of their luleis. While dwel
kill- wi h pleasing satisfaction upon the superior
excellence ol our political in-titutions, let usnotbc
ut* •lindliil that Liberty is Power; that the nation
ble-»cd with the fargeaf portion ol liberty, must, in
pioportion 'o its numbers, be the most powerful
nation upon earth; and that the tenure of power by
man, is, in the moral purposesof his Creator, upon
condition that it 'hall be exercised to endg of beni
ticence, to improve the condition of himself aitd his
ledow men. \V hilo foreign nations, less blessed
with that freedom which is power, than ourselves,
are advancing with gigantic strides in the career of
public inmimoment; were we to slumber in indo

that we are palsied by the will otour constituents,
would it not he to cast away the bounties of Pro
vidence, and doom ourselves to perpetual inferior

AUDACITY.
Henry Clay in his last electioneering speech io
Cincinnati, which sounds altogether in the Piano,
introduces an audacious defiance in the following
wor Is: “In tlies visits I have frequently met largo
portions of my fellow-citizens, upon their friendly
and pressing invitations. My object has been call
ed in question, and my nio'ive.* assailed. It has been
said that my purpose wa cl • “.ioneering. It it bo
intended to charge inc with improper or dishonors
Ida acts to secure an election, I deny the charge
ami disclaim the purpose. I defy my most inalig
nant enemies to show, that I ever,during any peri
od ol my life, resorted to such acts to promote my
own election, or that of any other person.”
Mr. Clay admits the existence of his letter to
Mr. Rlair, and refers for its contents <0 the Adams
Corresponding Ofmimittee jn Frankfort. The con
tents are given to the publir through the medium
pointed out by Mr. Clay, and they have not bceu

resorted to in that letter, for the promotion of
