GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. We are indebted to the Savannah Re opublican' for a copy of the Resolutions -quoted below, w hieb were introduced -into the House of Representatives ou Tuesday, and made the special order for next Thurb day. The Savannah Georgian remarks concerning their introduction by Ml-r. Gar tretl, a Wiig :-Charleston Mercury. "Coming, as the Resolutions do. from the district represented by the Hon. Mr. Toombs. they present evidence, gratifying evidence, that the labors of Mr. Snythe, of the Augusta Ripublic, arc beginning to tell- They furnizh testriony to the facr,*that the WLigs of Georgia are dis posed no longer to depend upon the Ex veeutive' Veto, and are in future look to 'the people-to the action of a united people -fur the prevention of wrong, and the re dress of wrong." -A single exception has been taken to the Resolutions by the Georgian-that they joclude Oregon. We trust, however, tbat this will trot interfere with the harmonious -netion 'of the Legislature. The declara iion, an it stands, will only be considered as affirming the want of constitutional pow er in Congress to enact a provision like that which was attached to the Oregon bill; -and we do not believe that any -portion of the Southern Democrats will admit such power. We do not see that any evil can come of adopting the Iesolutions as they stand. We join with the Georgian in giving to theim "our hearty concurreuce.' Whereas. -the people of the non slave. holding States have commenced. and are apparently persisting in a systein of en. -croachmtent upon thte Constituico t and 'the rights of a portion of the people of this Confederacy, wthich is alike unjuit and dangerous to the peace and perpetuity of otir cherished Union Be it Resolved, by the Senate anti f louse of Representatives of the State of Georgia in General Assembly convened, That the Government of the United States is one of limited powers and cannot rightfully ex -ercise any authority not conferred by the Cots'itution. Resolved, That the Constitution grants no power to Congress to prohibit the in troduction of slavery into any Territory belonging to the United States. Resolved, That the several States of tle Union acceded to the Confederacy upon terms of perfect eqtslity, and that tle rights, privileges. atid immnuitities secur ,ed by the Constitution, belong alike to the people of each State.

Resolved, That slavrs are recregnised by the Constitution as property, and th -t the Wilmot Proviso, whether applied to Ore. gou, California, New Mlexico or Territory hereafter to be ecouired, is unconstitution and should meet with the -1trm*--Jo i p6sitioTn -1F Tie ~Southern perple, whose rights are thereby affected. Resolved, That Congress has no power, either directly or indirectly, to ittterfere with the existence of slavery in the Dis trict of Columbia. Resol-ed, That the refusal en thte part of the notn-slaveholding States to deliver up fugitive slaves, who have escaped itnto sucht States, upon proper demand being made therefor, is a plaitn and palpable violation of the latter of the Cotnstitut ion, and and intolerable outrage upon Southern rights. Resolved, That in the evetnt of the pas sage of the WVilmot Proviso by Ctogress, the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, or thte coutinuedl refusal on thse part of non-slavehtolding States to deliver up fugitive slaves, as provided for by the Constitution, it wvill become the immiedi ate end itmperative duty ttf the people of this State to meet in Convention to take into consideration the mode and measure of redress. Resolved, That the people of Georgia entertatitn an ardent feeling of dlevotiobn to the Uniotn of thtese States, anti that nothing shtort of a persistance in the present sys tern of encroachment upon our rights by the non-slaveholding States, can indttce us to contemplate thsat possibility of a dlis solution.

'I don't find fault with you, sir, for that,' re plied the Getneral, 'but you kept telling the people that I was an ignorant old matn, and not fit for the Presidency, which may bie very true, but I don't think you should let every body, know it !'

When Ssneh mnen as VAn Buatxs, BKZSToY and B:.AIn coalesce, it is but natural to inadulge in gloomy forebodirngs, atmi to await dark designs. By some mysteriotus aocts-pocus, an alliance has sprunag tup between these notoriouts perso nages, which is likely to dev~elopn gtrand results.

There is no doubt this coaliton willsecure the h co-operation of the great mass of "tpresent c Democratic party, North and No a West.

Directly opposed to each other in principle, can we expect concert of action ? It would be vain and prestainptnous to indulge anch a hope. No ! say what we please about party ties and frater nal affection, the time is come, when we nust declare onurselves independent of the heteroge neous mass of Northern Denocrats; when we must break off from their evil machinations. which are directed to our ruin, and think of forming sonie aianciation amnong ourselves, for our safety and protection.

A Convention of the Sonthern States, is now a subject of some agitation among many of the leading Journ-ls atthe South. We are rejoiced to see that M ississippi has taken the iniattntive. in the matter. and that she is likely to be sup, i ported by Alabama, by.Georgia. and by South Carolina. Mississippi, has already determined on the matter in a State Convention: the Ala barn Journals are warming up on the subject. an fron Southera resolutions introduced by MA. GARTRM. In *.he Georgia Legislature, we havo good re-son to hope that our sister State is ready for the great event of Southern action. a while from the prompt response of our own Journals to the call of Mississippi, we may well conclude, otir State is ripe, too eager, we fear for the approaching crisis. We cannot approve, however. of the warmth of some of tho Papers of our State, on this high. ly delicate and aborbing riestion. We know it is difficult to restrain the natural flow of feel ing which every Southern man mustexperience on seeing a position taken at length to resist the faniatcal aggression of the North, and to r make a Lboid stand in favor of Southern rights so log tr dden inder foot, but it is a matter of deep poliy; it is essential to the project itsel: -to the commina defence of our liberties, that South Carolina should speak and move wiih &...,,,,.: .......,, ,,i,.ew a m e D.nC unubtrusively to follow her sister Stutes, than attempt officiously to lead. She hasblready at tained an unpleasant iotoriety (whether jnstly or not we wIll not pause to disenss) for being officiously intrus ice in the implortaint concm'erns of thme iiation, and it is only necessary to identify her with a political measure, to repress the'co operation of many her sister States. W e regre't that this is so: btt our regrets cannot alter the fact, Lest, therefore, we should iinjitre omatown cause ; lest we should datmpen the ardor of our Southern friends in their spirited move, andi thereby destroy the prospect of a Southern Con venttion-let us he considerately muderale in outr views-slow to tat/c. but promupt to aet. And Iwhy not 1 Do our people needi any excitement ont this subject? lins it not already been dis., cussed till thcir minds arc prepared for actioni It is bitt necessary to sound the alarm, and every energy of our people roim the seat board to the mounotains, wvill bc awvakented into action, Oar people are now ready for the move, be it mild, or be it harsh. Why, then. shaotld we continmue to agitato, when we know our agita tion, so far front workiing good, will overthrow our measures, and ruin outrenitse! Entertaining these views, it is with pain we observe some recent articles in the " South Carolinian,"-a paper cotnducted generally with great prudience and discretion-in which a ,Souithern Convention is not only zealoesy urged. bitt the course of proceditre, and the objects of the Convention, poiinted out andl enforced. WVith marked indiscretion, it is proposeid to divert the Conyention fromt its triue purpose Of devisinug soime common schema against fede ral tumnrpation ont the Territorialgqaestian, into a caucus for President making: to dissipate the harmonious feeling excited by common interest atd safety, and to stir tip the discordant ele' ments of sectional ambition: which ean only end, m intermninatble wvranglings, and idle and heated controversy. We deem it uwise to mingle in the deliberations of the Conavention any minor affairs, which may serve to draw off the public feeling fro~n the gzreat matter of Southern rights. WVe venture tot predict, if the agitating question of the Presidency be snffered to intrude itself npon the Convention, except altogether collate rally, and after other important business has been dispatched, a scene of confusion and dis order will ensue, in which party bickerings end sectional views will so prevail, as to'leave no hope of any well concerted scheme for redress ofrotr wrongs. Much more surely will these lamentable conn sequences etnsue, if tho State earry ont the views of the correspoiident of the "Carol inian,ii in pressing the claims of Ma. CaLUiOUS for the Presidency ! WVho among us would not delight to honor or great Statesman ? Who would not think the Presidlential chair Ionored by his possession ? Who does not believe, if seated in that chair, lie would soon bring order into our public affairs, andl protect 'the liberties of the nation? Whom, therefore, could we more desire to see President? But because of this desire-because we would wish to honor him by every fitir means in our poweor: we are un willing to take a step, which will forever b/ast his prospects for the highest office in the gi ft o glt us, that the more officiously we obtrude' a. CALOUN'S claims upon the natIon, the ore violent will be opposiiiti tol himn, and the ss will be his chainces for success ? This fact s been forced upon es for the last twenty -arA. And yet we seem not to regi'rd it. We do not utter this repronchiiigly. bnt in ie sincere desire that we may direct our coun -ld with more prudence. and by this menus, ore surely attai our ends. No! we would have the Convention made p of men of all parties. clothed, (in the ilan. ilage of the Alailnia Jonrnal) ":wids the dig ity and authority of a sovereign State, and ens towered to act for the whole people." We would hve it deliberate -alone on'the'great questiob df outhen safely, unless by som cordial unity. f sentiment it can propose a candidate fur the 'residency.

FOR THE ADVERTIsER. 51a. EotToR:-[ accidentally noticed in tour paper of the7th Nov., a piece signed 6. copied from the South Carolinian, re ating to the Batik of the State. I was nduced to look over its statements. but Vithout going into a particular examina ioni I noticed two errors which entirely :hange the results. . In the credit given to he Batik for interost paid nit the public lebt up to 1st Oct. 1847, Z. placed the munttil at $1,849,950.43. But I fiud that he Conptroller-Genteral in ;a report maile o the Senate in December 1847. sintel the amount to lst Oct., 1847. to he $2.653,502. 56. (See Bank Comipilatioi p.714). This is an error made by Z., of $803.552.18. ,gainst the Bank. 2. also charges the lanik with 7 per cent. interest ont ill the Fire-Loan Fund. But the Batik only re. eeives 6 per cent. on all the monies loaned i0 borrowers under the Fire Loan Act. I Bnd upon looking in the Bank Reports to the Legislatut e for ten years, that the aver ago amount lnaned during those years has been $915.000. per annum. Upou this sum then Z. has charged the Bank one per cent. more than the Bank wna authorized to receive. which makes $9,150 perannum, or $91;500, our charge for the teln years. We have heard it was a hard case for one to work for no wtges and find himself. hut ac cording to Z's rule the Bank must not only work lor noithipe, and fiuul itself, bit must pay for the privilege in addition. But the error is so gross that we pre-anme Z. him self will give it up. nfter it is exposed. Now correct these errors male by Z. and what will be the result. -,: makes the Bank liable to the State in the sum of . $4.136.9U38O Deduct these two er rus $803,552.13 91.500 00 895,052.13 This redu:ed the amount duo by the Bauk to S3,241.855.93 But Z. himself admits that the Bank has on hand the sum of S3,513.513.53 Deduct the corrected balance due by Bank 3 2-11.885.93 L iis i sitri1isi S27 1,627.60 Thus Z. has shown that ih' Bank has paid the State 7 per cent. o all the funds entrastd to it. anid has miade the sum of $371,627.60. river iand abtve-Q. E. D.. Nao. I ha~ve nout looked in atny tither part o1 Z's stteets, hitt piresumne inoe of them tre made fmnvtrably of the Batik. I only poinitt out the6 conclusioni to which Z. ha~s comne in spite of himself and augaiist hisi ill. Fur the errors lie has committed are so palpable that he wvill not venture to diepnte them-and the results he is compelled to admnit. X. Y.

The propriety of that measure is univer sally acquiesei in; but witat the Con vention should do, %%hen assembled, has itot been te sub'ject of definite subggestinl. 0 b The public mind -on this matier is vague nnd uniforned. Now, would it out hto iell. Messrs Editors, that some discussion rm'the p-iits to be agitated there, should be previonalv had before the people. that r the views and wishes of the State might c be formed anil understood. My Own belief is, that the true way to carry out public opinion, in Democraie institutions, is to embody in the man, or, so to speak, to personify it, as was farmerly done in the case of Mr. Jefferson, under whose name as a flag the Republican party fought for marty years, a-nd finully conquered. By not pursting this course the South has incurred the odium of coutestiug for abstract principles, incapable of apltica tion, when itt faet. it is fron the want of political courage ;hat we have shrunk from asserting our principles and purposes. by putting forward and insistintg upon men to i tepresent them. The great exponent in this country of poli~ieal aentiment is the candidate far the President. On this point we ha've not sufficiently insised. We have been lukewarm and unstable, permittintg ourselves to be easily set aside. as if we ve'e not zealous either Tor our men or our principles. The irme has como when we shoull adolit a mnore stren ,)nus policy-11 e slnuld hoininnte a can didate fur the Presidency, and insist upon him. We have a man idenirlied with us in every respect, whose tulets artnl virtue all acknowledge and admire-whuse pub iie services have sut passed those ofell men siice Watsbington; thoroughly coanected with the great triimphant Democratic party, and engaging its utnost confidence. Such a man we lve in John C. Calhoun; and, ny electing hitm President, we should at one blow succeed. What is wanted for this is vigor and perseverance. I therefore propose that the Sontnern Conventi-m shoolil noininate Mr. Calhoun, with a pledge to sustain him through all oppostion, until the States, fore ging their facriotns opposition anl recog nising our inalienable rights, shall concur in his electiun.
