STATE LEGISLATURE OF GEORGIA.

tha House of Representatives, on the 6th instant, Mr.
24untrirt.tr, from the Select Committee, to whom was referred
.en peueh of the communication of the Governor as relates to
the improper interference of the United States' Governinett
with our derneitic affairs, presented the following report and

" The Committee to whom was referred so much of tha Go-
vernor's message as relates to the disposition which has so often
latterly unhappily evinced itself in the different branches of
the Genersl Government to controul the domestic affairs, and
to inte,rmedle with, and to endanger the peace, the repose, and
tersbn of the southern states, after deliberating on this sub-
ject with the deepest feelings of sorrow and regret, have to pro-
claim, that the hour is come, or is rapidly approaching, when
the /slates from Virginia to Georgia, from Missouri to Louisi.
gas, must confederate, and one man say to the Union—
"iVewill no longer submit our restrained rights to tbe
veiling insinuations of bad man on the floor of Congress—our
oonstitutional rights to the dark and strained constructions of
designing men upon judicial branches that we protest tko doc-
trine and disclaim the principle of unlimited submission to the
(heneral Governmsnt.4

" The greatest objects of the American Union were as simple
in practice as beautiful in theory ; they were as aysily under-
stoe'd as they were important; the relations with foreign na-
lions were confided to the United Government. The powers
rixessary to the protection of the Confederated States from ene-
h-iips without, and from enemies within, alone were given. All
others were retained to the several States as separate and sore-
r-rim, and must not be usurped by construction--legislative,
atecative, or judiciary.
" When from 1770 to 1776 the Government of Britain was
levying a war of restriction upon Boston and the north, no nar-
row feeling, no unworthy suspicions, no sectional jealousies,
arere harboured in the bosoms of the men of the south, but with
elle voice, and with simultaneous impulse, frost Virginia to
Geergia, they united their fate with their Colonial Brethren.
When, from 1801 to 1811, the mighty powers of France and
England, in all things else hostile to each other, combined to
drive from the seas of the world the ships and the commerce
of the northern States, the nien of the solr:l did not meanly
stoop to calculate the cost, but resolving that the wrongs of a
part wera the wrongs of the whole American family, pro-
claimed &Since to both, and conquered and won oa the moun-
tain veave, and in the marshes of the west, the freedom of the
trade of the world.

" are the feelings we brought into the confederacy :
with these we shall leave it, if unprincipled :nen prosper in the
oniicly pork of demolishing the noble, the august, the splen-
Wit fad fic of our anion.

"Tire States of the South will convey the products of a for-
t& c.cil and genial climes to the markets of the world. The
world will open its wide arms" to receive them. let our
reurtliern brethren, then, if there is no peace in union, if the
compact has te,coenc too- heavy to be longer borne, in the name
of all the mercies, find peace among themselves. Let them
cont.:nue to rejoice in their self-righteousness ; let them bask
their.own elysium, while they depict all south of the Poto-
mac as hideous reverse. As Athens, as Sparta, as Rome was,
we will he; they held slaves, we hold them. Let the north,
then, form national roads for themselves, Jet them guard with
their own interest, let them deepen their public debt
until a high-minded aristocracy shall rise out of it. We want
Deneof these blessings. But in the simplicity of the patriarchal
gl-icerfitnent, we would still remain master and servant under
our own vine and our own fig tree, and confide for safety upon
who of old time Ipoked down upon this state of things
without wrath.

" Ile it therefore resolved by the Senate and House of
fleprese.ntatives of the State of Georgia, in General Ass:mbly
met—That we concur most heartily in the sentiments on
this subject, communicated by his Excellency the Governor,
tl:?ot having exhausted the argument, we will stand by our
arms, and for the support of this determination we mutually
pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred
• Canotir.'
" F.e it further resolved—That his Excellency the Gower-
env be requested to forward a copy of these resolutions; to the
Executive of each State in the Union respectively, With a
.reoluest that they lay the same before the several Legislatures,
ac. that his Excellency do also forward a copy to each of
our Senators and Itepresentatives in Congress, instructing
13. f;rmer, and requesting the latter, to co-operate in all na_
ti ail mea.sures having a tendency to thwart the object herein.

table. It was understood that wheal they were called up, a
