INTEREsTING FROM GEoRGIA.

In the House of Representatives of Georgia,
on the 22d Dec. the resolutions instructing the
senators OF that State, and requesting its Repre-
sentatlVes IN Congress, TO resist the recharterng
the Bank of the u. States, warmly discussed.
and motion being made to lay them on the table
Tor the remainder of the Session, IL decid.i ia
the affirmative-Ayes 65, Noes 81.
This indication and that lately given in the Sc
nate OF Tennessee, show abatement of host-
ty in the Southern States, to the Bank.
On the same day the House took up certain
solutions reported by Mr.. Howard, from the Com
mittee on the Republic, follows:
''The committee to whom referred sundry
resolutions from the Stale of Delaware in relation
to the Tariff of S28 have given to those resolu-
tons their careful attention, and beg leave to
commend the adoption of the following resoiu-
tons:
RESOLVED by The Senate and House Of Represen
tatiues o. the State IF Georgia in General Assem-.
bly, met, That the Tariff of 1928, does not accord
with the spirit of the constitution of the United
States, but (when the object and effect of the act
is considered) is palpable violation of it.
That it is inexpedient, oppressive, unequal, and
destructive TO the great leading interests of the
South-pccunary and political.
That each State of the confcderacy is in the
full exercise of all rights of sovereignty, except
such rights as have been granted to the United
States in the Federal Constitution.
That the right to impose duties upon articles of
trade for the protection of domestic industry has
not been granted to the Federal Government, by
the States, in the Federal Constitutions; nor can
such right be yielded far as the people of Geor
gia are concerned.
That in ola palpablc and dangerous viola
ton of the constitution, each State, in it's sove-
reign capacity, has right judge for itself, and
pronounce upon the colstutionality OF the acts of
the Congress OF the United States; and each State
in its sovereign capacity, has the right Judge of
and act upon the mode IS well as the measure Of
its redress.
That when in the course of Fedsra, T.or-isi.
ton, 1t becomes necessary for State 10 pronrlsv
upon the constutionality of an act of o., r.re,s
and to prescribe to herself the mode as yyel! rs
the measure Of her redress, it is question not 81
right that question being settled but 4 Question
of expedency, having exclusive reference TO the
consequences which may grow out Of the exercise Of
that right"
The first resolution adopted, yeas o. nays
H.
The second, third and fourth resolutions were
adopted without division.
When the 5th was read, motion was made to
lay that aud the sixth, on the table for the remain
der of the session. AMI after discussion between
Mcssrs. Ho,Dard, Ryan Hopkins 0nd Glascock
the question was taken and decided, yeas 81, nays
90.
TIE fate Of the 9Th and 9th of these Resolu-
tons, is among the phenomena Of the time. Un-
doubtcdly, these resolutions embrace The ANNA.

Georgia, Of all others, the State, which besides
that she has ever profosscd these doctrines is the
only ono that has practically enforced them! I'm
der what influence has she thus acted7 Fear Of
the of Nuliification-not the h;ag-for that
Georgia loves and practiscs-but fear OF the
name, and wish not to injurc Gen. Jackson
Never was there more lucky hit than christening
the doctrines contcnded Tor by 5. Carolina, Nut-
tifcaton.
On the same day, the following highly port
ant Resolutions proposed in the House Of
Representatives of Georgia. The Session Draw
ing to close, it is not probable, thinks the Geor
ga Journal, that they will be acted upon at this
time.
Mr.. You've, of Oglolhorpe, laid on the table the
following resolutions:
Forasmuch throughout the United States,
there exsi many controversies, growing ont of
the conflicting interests which have arisen among
the people since the adoption Of the Federal Com
etitution-out OF the cases in which Congress
