Fayette County Meeting.
To take into consideration the proceedings
in we ooumern sintcs against the Tariff. CONCLUDED. We will here cease this loathesome task cf copying any farther from surh
disgraceful proceedings of the friends ofi
Ueneral Jackson in the South. To write down all that has been said and Written there in abue of the Tariff, and ( of the States favorable to it, would far exceed the limits assigned to this address. We request those who cannot discover
Me connexion between the friends of
General Jackson, nay, a very lareo ma
jority of his party throughout" the Union, and this seditious, we may say treasonable, opposition to the laws constitutionally passed by the General Government, to-turn their attention hut for a moment
to the present political and sectional division which at this time exists relating to the two questions of the Tariff and the Presidential Election. How is the Union at present divided as relates to States upon this al) pervading, all-absorbing question? What States are positively and certainly known to be for the present incumbent, and what States for
General Jackson? With the exception of the State of Pennsylvania, not one
even claimed by his partisans to be for
oeneral Jackson is a Tariff State; and not one certainly known to be for Mr. Adams is an Anti- Tariff State. There are a number doubtful that we do not embrace within this division; but we say of those that are not doubtful, the identity of the Jackson States and the Adams States and the Tariff States, must be evident to every person whn
' willing to acknowledge truth; and whose mind is not completely blinded by the prejudice of party to its reception. Enough has been shewn, we trust, to undeceive our misguided countrymen, who have been told and led to believe,

is well known, that the friends of Get.
Jackson in this State, and the other Tariff States, believe him to be friendly to the Tariff, while at the same time, the
ooumern and Anti-Tariff section of oui
Union support him because 'be is oppos

that ground. 1 hey have frequently

diumof their public servants, their public meetings and prints, that they oppose Mr. Adams because he is favorable to
internal improvement and the American System, and support Gen. Jackson because he is inimical to both of those measures. Virginia is right upon the political principles which she professes, and if we beli -ve such of the partisans of the General, who know his views and opinions on these subjects, who well know that he is not only in heart

so small is the minority, that not an individual voice is heardin-opposition; no one has the temeiity to speak his sentiments against it. And, if their candidate agrees with this majority, why does he not at once avow it! Why does he keep himself in doubtful silence upon a point of policy, which so vitally concerns the interests of the great mass, we may say of all the good people of the State of Kentucky? when a single word wnnid

Rcsohedy Therefore, that in (he opinion of this meeting the resolutions of certain citizens of the states of South Carolina and Georgia, proposing resistance to the authoiity of the National Government in the collection of the revenue of the United States, under the aet of Congress of the last session, laying additional duties on certain goods9 wares and merchandize of foreign countries, and calculated to excite to rebellion and disunion, and if acted on will bs treason against the United States, 2.
