INTERESTING TO THE PEOPLE

The following Resolutions have Just met
our attention. We find them liz ne An-
gu,ta Georgia Chronicle. -SThey are
copied into the Chronicle from South
/ Carolina paper, and were introduced into
the So'.th Carolina Legislature by the Hon
James Smith Rhett Of Charlesion, "a broth
! er, we believe, of the member of Congress
/ by the name Of Rhett the man who at the
last session of Congress- made himself
equally notorious and infamous by drawing
up two Resolutions, having in view the di-
rect and ayowed object of the dissolution oil
the Union We give the Resolutions as we
| find them in the CHI onicle, having no in
formation as yet. as to the manner of their
reception, Or the result Of action, if any
upon them.
Whereas certain citizens Of tho State
Of Maine. have been charged in tie State
Of Georgia, with felony, committed there
in, by kidnapping and carving away Ger
tain slaves. the property of the citizens
thereof; and bills of indictment have been
duly found in Georgia against !he said per-
sons, who arc understood to be now resi-
dent in and under the protection of the State
of Maine:
"And whereas, the Governor Of the State
Of Georgia hns, by direction Of the Legis-
lature thereof, and according to the provis-
ions of the Federal Constitution, delnan-
ded of the Governor Of Maine these deiin-
queuts for trial, under the said bills Of in
indictment
"And whereas, the said Governor of the
State of Maine, instead of complying with
this demand, as under the provisions of our

has refused so to do, stating that he must

OF his State:
"Aud whereas, from the present aspect
of the slave question, III the United States,
it no longer becomes IA slave holding State
to withhold the decided expression of its
sentiments, on any subject Involving these

"Rcsoiued, That the State of Georgia,
in making the demand for the delivery of
these delinquints for trial, demanded NTH
ing but what the sirictest regard for nsice,
order, respect for herself, and the mos,
sacred provisions Of our national compact,
authorized and required.
"Resolrea, That it is with the deepest
concern, we perceive one the Chief Mag

"RcSo!ved, That Il failure on the part Of
the State Of Maine, to fulfil her consitu-
,ional obligations, in this particular, will be
Il fatal blow 10 the security of our lns,itu-

create great and well founded alarm in the
slave holding States.
"Rrsolred, That the cause of Georgia is
the cause of the whole South and we will
make common cause with her in all proper
measures for procuring redress of these
grievances, aud for the maintenance of her
and our common rights"
These Resolutions were brought forward
by a member Of the State Senate from
Charlesion,-iha being Mr. Rhen's Dis
tric,, as we have learned since writing the
abnvn. We have also read III the Charles
ton Mercury paragraph copied from the
South Caroliuian, paper OF same standing
in South Carolina, warmly approving the
Resolutions introduced by MIR Rheti, and
expressing the opinion thai they wonld be
passed unanimously. The cause of Geor-
