Again; The Critic does not quote us correctly-aud
thus makes the contradiction, which he ascribes TO
ourselves. The Original passage runsi thus: ais Mr.
Calhoun ready to do it, because the protective prn-
ciple is still retained in this bill? Let him pausea
moment, until he reads his speech i'm lS16."-
The position is ths II, notwithstanding the tariff
of '32, is modification of several milons-madc
too on that OF '2S, the "frs Blow that is struck
the sysem-NIr. G. is ready to jeopardize the Union,
because he contends that the protective principle is
still retained in this bi-then let him read his own
speech in 1916 where this same protective princ-
pie is set forth and cried up part of the settled
policy Of the country. If he maintained the pro-
teclive policy in 1916 why does he now ascribe to
the act of I'D this same protective principle, and
make it the pretext for jeopardizing the Union?"-
This is the argument as obviously intended.-As for
ourselves, have uniformly declared, that we took
this act pro dnto not because it recognised the pro-
tccting principle but because reduced the duties,
and modified the Tariff that it the first entering
wedge in this abomnubc system; and that we should
not be content, until il shivercd into pieces
As to the insdious arlifce ofrepresentng Con-

are not even converts to the Sail feature Of it,
But enough This is the kind of stuff, IRE pre-

| MOVEMENTS IN GEORGIA AND SOUTH
CAROLINA.
We gave in our last paper Summary of the re-
cent transactions which have taken place in Geor-
! giC. They have filed readers with astonish-
ment and concern. We have met with citi-
zen.of Virginia, (let him belong whatever party
he might y who did not censure the proceedings at
Athens and Lexington as rash, passionate, and cal
culaed TO strike ut the tranquility, if the in
tegrity, of the Union. Virginia has never skulked,
aud she never will skuk, in the great cause of State
Rights. She has stood by them while she had not
anay to aid or to counenance her. She has been also
the ardent and disnterested friend of the rights of
Georgia, through good and through evil report. She
vlndlcated her cause against the mad measures
of Adams and of Clay She took up, and CALAMITY
supported, one of her most distinguished citizens for
the Presidency-whe Mr.. Calhoun and his com
peers were sparing efforts to crush him. We
| have been the friends of Georga-and we
without Boosting preension, the part of Vir-
gnia. L. is with feelings, therefore, of unfegned
concern, that the citizens of Virginia watching
the movements of Georgia. 1t is with great regret
that she differs with her any question of such Vi
tai importance as the which is now on the taps.
But she will not believe without the most conclusive
evidence, that Georgia is throwing herself into the
arms OF >. Caroina-and that she will advocate the
cause of Notification She will wait with great
anxiety TO hear the which the great body of
her citizens will coolly take-not being very willing
to take as the standard of her faith the declarations
n OF one OF her sons, who 10 q sourcd and arEo;TS
poitlcIan-and of another, who changes his " prin-
cples with his clme"-one day in Virginia declar-
ing that we ought to submit to the law, and that he
only desires its " speedy repedt"-and few days af-
terin S. Carolina, declaring for notification and de-
nouncing every who dallies as a bastard and
every one who doubts damsed. From the pas
sions OF such men, we appeal to the Judgment of the
people of Georgia.
The last Georgia Mails bring MS only few add
tional statements of the late proceedings. The Geor-
gia Gazette ofthe 3D. states that the first notice which
was set up for the Meeting at Athens, was put up
by the decided friends to the reelection of Andrew
jackson, and ran in the following terms

In a few hours afterwards there appeared, most
