Herald of the times. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1830-1846, 1832-04-05

Resolved, That we recommend to our
fellow-citizens Of the other counties in
the State TO hold public meetings on this
all important subject, and to take stand
firm and decided.
The crises is near at hand--we have
TO submit as slaves or maintain our free.
dom and our rights.
Resolved, further, That the Secretary
Of this meeting forward copy of these
proceedings, signed by the Chairman, to
the President Of the United States"
THE whole ofthese proceedings are in
perfect keeping with the character Of
Georgia, ever since the organization of
the Union. Her whole conduct has
been marked by turbulence, violence,
and fraud ;-and it is high time that she
was taught lesson of obedience to the
laws of the Union. Ifthose laws are to
be perpetually contemned and set at
naught, far better were it, for the peace
and tranquility of the republic, that she
were a miniature nation by herself
What pattern!
From the National Intelligencer.
There can no longer be anv doubt as
to the course which Georgia will pursue
in relation to the late decision of the Su-
preme Court. We find in the Georgia
Journal received yesterday the subjoined
letter from one of the Senators of the
United States from that State. 1t is of
great interest at the present moment, not
only as disclosing the views entertained
hu N inf al
momentous subject, but also as indica-
ting the disposition ofthe President ofthe
United States on the same subject. 1t
seems that the judgment Of the Supreme
Court, which the Chief Magistrate of the
Union ought to be the first to respect and
bow to, Is considered as q blow aimed at
lin!
From the Georgia Journal of March is.
ExTRAcT.-We submit the following
letter, just received, from man whose
opinion on all great occasions will al
ways be listened to in Georgia, with af-
fectionate and confiding interest
WASHINGTON, 5th March, 1882.
DEAR SrRs: The people of Georgia will
receive with indignant feelings, 1t, hey
ought, the recent decision of the supreme
court, so flagranty violative Of their So
vereign rights. l hope the people will
treat it, however, as becomes them; with
moderation-dgnity, and firmness; and
treating it, Georgia will be unhurt by
what will prove to be b,raem fulmen
The Judges know you will not yield obe-
dience to their mandates, and they may
desire preterts for the enforcement Of
them, which trust you will not give
The Chief Magistrate of the U. States
will perform all his Constitutional duties;
but he will, if mistake not, defend the
sovereignty Of the Sta es, as he would the
sovereignty Of the Union; and ifthe blow
be aimed equally at him and at us, it would
he ungenerous, by an improvident act Of
ours, to make him the victim of the com
mon enemy. The jurisdiction claimed
over one portion Of our population may
very soon be asserted over another; and
in both cases they will be sustained by
the fanatics of the North. Very soon,
therefore, things must come to their
worst; and if in the last resort we need
defenders; we will find them every where
among the honest men of the country :;
whom Just and wise conduct will rally
to our Banner-ior the rest we care moth
ing.-Dear Sirs, very respectfully,
Yours. G.. NJ. TROUP.
