GOV. TROUP.
Gov. Troup of Georgia, in his late messap, .,
the Legislature ofthat State, will be seen by The
following extract, advises, an appealto arms against
the general Government.
Since your last meeting our feelings have been
again outraged by officious and mpertinent inter-
meddngs with domestic concerns. Beside the
resolution prcsenId for the consideration of the Sc
nate by Mr.. King of New York, is understood tba,
the attorney general OF the United States, who may
be presumed to represent his government faithully
and to speak as its mouth piece, has recently main
tanned before the supreme court, doctrines on this
subject, which If sanctioned by that tribunal will
make it quite easy for the Congress, by short de-
cree to dvest this entire interest without cost TO
themselves of one dollar, or of one acre of public
land-this is the uniform practice ofthe government
of the United Sta,es-ifi it wishes principle esab-
| lished which it dare not establish itself, case is
made before the Supreme Court, and the principle
once settled the act Of Congress follows Of course
Soon, very soon, therefore, the United States Gov
eminent, dscarding the mask, will openly lend it,
self to combination of lunatics for the destruction
of every thing valuable in the southern country
u One movement OF the congress unresised by you,
and all is lost-temporize no longer-make known
YOUR resolution that this subject shall be touch
u ed by them but at their peril--but for its sacred
guarantee by the constitution we never would have
become parties to that instrumental this momep,
q you would not make yourselves parties to any con-
stituton without it-ol course you will not be par.
lty to il from the moment the general government
: shall make that movement.
v II this matter be evil, it is own-if il be
SIM we can impore the forgiveness of to remove
lit, we ask not either their sympathy or assistance
/, liz may be our physical weakness--it is our moral
strength. II, like the Greeks and Romans the mo-
lment we cease 10 be masters we are slaves, we
thenceiorth minister, like the modern Italians, 10
a the luxury and pleasures OF our masters. Poets
painters, musicians and scupors We may be-bc
moral qualities, however, which would make us fair
3 partakers of the grandeur Of great empire would
j. be gone. We would stand stripped and desolae
= under lervd Aun and upon generous soil,
" mockery ourselves, and the very contrast OF what,
with little firmness and foresight we might have
u been. l enreat you, therefore, most earnestly,
= now that it is not late to step forth; and having
c exhausted The argument, to stand by your arms"

hi In the charge to the Grand Jury, at the opening
of the present Sessions the Recorder stated that
the important cases, to which their attention
ID would be called, would be murder and he obsery-
ed that il might be laid down as established rule
OF law, that where person has taken the lite ct
at another, the crime is presumed to be murder lie
said that every person concerned in gully trans
action, was involved 10 the crime oil its commission,
e unless from circumstances attending the case he
r. was proven innocent. The Recorder sald he wish
ed to be particular in stating, that many persons
lie supposed blow given without The intention to kill,
tho it inflicted death, would not constitute murder.
D. the lac not so, and he cited Blackstone 10
prove that where one should strike another without
ID any provocation, it would constitute murder. He
lie also cited Hawkins to establish the position, thai
h where an unprovoked attack is made, which is like
ly to end in boodshed, and death il is murder
