From the National InteVigenrcr

From Georgia we learn that great meeting
was held at Athens, the scat of the Uniyersit .
oi Georgia during the commencement, a few
days ago, at which VIM H. Crawford presided
and in the proceedings of which Mr. Berticn.
Judge Clayton, and several other gentlemen
took part. The SUBJECT of discussion was the
Tariff, the Presidential Election being put
aside to make way for it. A proposition was
made by Judge Clayton, which was agreed to.
TOR recommending county meetings to choose
convention, to meet at MilledgevilIe in Novcm
her next, to deliberate upon the mode and
measure OF redress against the expressions of
the tariff"
The Augusta Chronicle "a multiplying paper J
contains long account of the proceedings OF
the meeting above referred to, from which We
extract the following

Glasscock then offered as an amendment, a
resolution denouncng Notification, and in a
speech in support Of it, strongly abused the
NullIfers of Carolina. The amendment was
advocated by Mr.. Torrance, and opposed by F
H. Gone, Esq, in a splendid and impressive
speech, in which he ably defended Notification
and its advocates, and declared his determine
ton to resist the Tariff, if necessary, even un.
to death and these sentiments were repeatedly
and enthusiastically cheered. Judge Berrien
then opposed the amendment, and defended the
Nuiiers of Carolina in a short but mos: elO.
quent and thrilling address. He was cheered
at every sentence, with the most rapturous
general, and deaiening applause.
When the questions were put, the amend
mcnt was defeated by an overwhelming mainri-
ty, and the Resolutions adopted with about five
dissenting voices, and the building rang again

II is fact worth noticing, that every man
who carries a watch on a sunny day, has a

when the sun is near his meridian altitude. If

BE STEADY. This is a safe motto always,
and very reasonable one now. Every body
understands now that the Cholera has no more
terrors for the prudent and careful than the in,
fiuenza or dysentery, and in every case an obvi-
Gus and sufficient cause is to be assigned,
1t is OF great importance that every man
should be steady. Steady in his habits, in his
feelings, IL his business, and especially in his
concuct and conversation, il the disease should
come into his dwelling or his immediate neigh
borhood. Nothing could be more kindly order
ed in the progress Of such scourge than the
tokens it gives of its approach; and though its
power is felt by every rank and class of society,
its force is spent on those cho inrtte and almost
defy its attack.
