letter from Monticello published in the Angus
tn Courier, says that Col. A. Cuhbert Z" came out
boldly against notification, charged Calhoun with
being the Father of the Scheme and exposed the
motives which induced him to originate it. and called
upon his countrymen in the most impressive manner
TO beware OF the doctrine, and to cling the Union
whilst hope remained of its preservation lie al
30, I'm burst OF eloquence, called upon those young
men, If any there were, who had never read Udsh-
engfonS Fdrei0eu .dddTeSS, at once TO procure and
read II again and again. The powerful effect which
his eloquent illusions TO some of its contents had
upon his audience, cannot be described. His adj
dress was cheered throughout with the warmest ap-
plause. lie has been pressed serve as one of the
delegates IN the Convention, and il is said he will
celve an almost unanimous vote. Judge CIauton al
so addressed the Meeting-went for resisting the
Tariff, and cared not much i'm what way it was done
declared he had never been the friend of Cal
houn-had wrote much against him, and bad no par
ncular objections to Southern Conventions or TO
our State Convention recommending that course.
Whdt think you Of that? Col. Foster spoke too and
was in favor of Southern Convention, but thinks
we should not object State Convention as it will
be clothed with powers TO act for the people. Col
Jones closed the show, by urging the necessity of
determined resistance to the Tariff and concluded
that State through its delegates in Convention had
arlght to declare act of Congress unconstitutional
and to determine the mode and measure of redress;
and that the President had not the power to coerce
a State acting on her sovereignty But he de-
clared at the same time that he opposed Null
Htcauon!! There seems to be an almost general
opposition throughout the State to the Lexington re-
Aolution to assist Carolina should she nuy and the
General Government attempt to coerce her. / do
not believe similar resolution will be offered i'm
another County.-The Athens resolutions were
adopted here"

proposed by the committee, declaring that "the ar
gument is exhausted, and all peaceabe means re-
cognized by the Constitution have been resorted to
10y u.s. to be released from the operation of said laws
we are therefore prepared, and do most soemnIy
declare that, so majority of the lreemen of
tins State shall concur with us and concert measures
for united action will no longer submit to be
plundered of our property by this system of Fede-
raj legislation, which has reduced us to worse than
colonial bondage, and violated the most sacred prn-
ciples of the Constitution" &c &c; and proposing
10 send delegates to the Convention of Milledgevile
After some considerable discussion, Major p. o.
Lumpkn proposed the following set of resolutions,
by way of substitute, viz:
"lst Therefore be IL Resolped, That we will resist the
SAID protective system, by all constitutional means to the
utmost OF our power and ability.
'2d find belt further Resolved That in the opinion
OF this meeting the hopes Of the South for a deverance
from the evils under which they labor and for per-
Petua'on oil our once happy and beloved Union mainly
depend on the reelection Of that distinguished Patriot and
Statesman, Andrew jackson; and that any measure cacu
lated to embarass his administration defeat his
uo ought TO be deprecated by every Patriot of the South
"3d Therefore be IL further Resolved, That we are
opposed to qualification the mode of redress for our
