GEORGIA.

The Legislature of Georgia convened at Milledgeville on Monday, the 5th inst. The Message of Gov. Lumpkin fills a page of a newspaper; and is occupied principally with an attack upon the decision of the Supreme Court, in the case of Worcester and Butler, a vindication of the policy of Georgia in relation to the Indian question, and a denunciation of the Tariff. He regards the tariff of 1832 as a considerable modification of the system, and as evidence of the existence of a conciliatory spirit which may ultimately lead to a settlement of the question, without a resort to violent measures. He therefore recommends moderation and forbearance.

In relation to the doctrine of Nullification, Gov. Lumpkin says, "I cannot consider it advisable for a single State, upon her separate action, to undertake to force a redress of grievances from the general government, while her sister States, equally interested, are not even consulted as to the policy to be pursued." The mystical doctrine of Nullification, as contended for by its advocates, has only tended to bewilder the minds of the people, inflame their passions, and prepare them for anarchy and revolution. Wherever it spreads, it engenders the most bitter strifes and animosities, and dissolves the most endearing relations of life. I believe Nullification to be unsound, dangerous and delusive, in practice as well as in theory.
