States should attempt, without authority of law,
to use The military forces at his CONTROL against
the prorer authorities of t. IS, in r>trnding
her civil Jurisdiction to the extent Of her limits
as prescribed bv her laws, it wou.I b' the duty
of all the slav yIding States, to give her all the
aid she m It need in main' ing the supremacy
of her laS Thin her limits, against the lawless
interference of the Federal Executive.
9th. Resolred, That in view of the inevitable
consequence of such a collision, which none
would deprecate more than ourselves, we hold
it to be the duty of Congress to make some
speedy and suitable arrangement for an annie
able settlement and adjustment OF this question,
upon such terms as may be agreeable and satis-
factory to Texas.
7th. Resolced, That the Federal Union was
formed for the protection of the lives, the liberty,
and property Of those who entered into it, and
of those who should FIJI their places after them
and that the people of the South, at the time of
the formation of the Constitution, held large
interests in property, in slaves, the protection of
which was, in their opinion, amply guarded in
the compact Of union. And we take this occa-
sion to say, that as long as these guarantees are
faithfully fulfilled, we shall cherish sentiments
of attachment to the Union as the government
of our choice: nor are we disposed TO abandon
it for any slight or trivial cause. But it is due
to the people of the North to know that if Il
majority of Congress shall, by any act in open
violation of the plghted filth of their fathers,
bring the powers Of the General Government,
which claim our allegiance, in hostile array,
against that property and those institutions
amongst US which they are bound to protect,
we shall hold it to be the highest duty we owe
to ourselves, and those who are to come after
us, to look out new SAFE. guards for our future
security
Allegiance and protection are reciprocal, and
no government is entitled to the allegiance OF
any people which, by its acts, attempts to put
their property and social institutions under pub
lie odium and reprobation. In asserting these
principles, we do not wish to be understood us
intimating an opinion that any such acts have as
vet been perpetrated by the General Govern
ment as would justify resistance. But strenu-
Gus efforts are being made by a party ut the
North for such purpose. And while we are not
in favor of disunion remedy for any exist
ing evils and earnestly trus: that better spirit
at the North may open up the way for a restora-
ton of harmony and good feeling between the
two sections, yet it is but right and proper that
the world should know up what ground we
stand. We hold ourselves in duty bound to
maintain the Government as long as it maintains
us but when it becomes our open enemy, by
some hostile act, if that time should ever come,
then we shall be for Revolution and Independ-
encc.
A motion was then made and unanimously
carried, that the proceedings Of the meeting be
sgned and forwarded to the city papers of Au-
gusta, with request that they be published.

Stokes was called to the Chair and J. Is. Har-
rcIl and G. ]. Walker, esqs,, requested to act as
Secretaries. After the ol jcct of the meeting
had been explained by the Chair the following.
IN ong other resolutions, were introduced by J
A. Tucker, esq. and after being discussed were
adopted by a large majority.
lst Be it resolved. That the institution of
domestic slavery is so interviewer with the so
cal and political existence Of the Southern
States that the abolition of the one will be the
inevitable destruction and degradation Of the
other, and hence it is the imperative duty OF
every citizen of the State of Georgia, to resist by
al possible means every measure, the tendency
"t which is to abolish or weaken the institution
"t slavery.
ltt. That we see grave objections to the pro-
posed line of SO deg. 80 min. north latitude, as
y line of adjustment, but we acqulesce in the
same as basis Of settlement with a distinct re-
co gnition of slavery south Of that line, but will
never willingly consent to anything less, under
any circumstances whatever.

meeting of the citizens Of Liberty county, ir-
respective of parties, was held in Hncsvillc on
Saturday, August 10th, 1850 to the purpose of
taking into consideration the late action OF Con-
grrss respecting the slavery question.
The meeting being called to order, on motion
Of Capt. A. Winn, committee of twenty
one was appointed to DRIFT and report
resolutions suitable for the action Of the meet
ing.
The committee having reported, after much
discussion. on motion of {. b. Jores, esq
the following resolutions were submitted in
place Of those reported by the committee:
Regarding the present crisis ofour country rs
eminently alarming, in as much as the long and
protrac,-d agitation ofa subject which involves
every thing that the South holds dear, both to
the present generation as well as to her posteri-
Is, which has arisen entirely out of total disrc-
gard by orr Northern brethren of our constitu
ti"nal rights and guarantees, and which leaves
ns bat little hope that IN adjustment upon the
basis of Justice and equality can or will he ct-
fC~ted for us by Congress and believing, that
MI extremites in which the minority may be
placed, whether accidental or from the force Of
circumstances, no favors or regard can be

thosc who would destroy this great Republic.
to pause in their mad career; and by that means
restore composure and confidence ngnin. There.

Resolred, That it is of the first and most vita
inpo rtance that the entire South stand firm ant
ana united as one man, at this juncture, on tho
treat question that threatens us, Disturbing al
p.rty divisions, yielding up favoritc schemes o
adjustment, and centering upon that plan whlct
may be most available for the security Of ou

Rpsolred, That the territories of the Unlte'
States. purchased by common treasure or con
ouered by common blood should beyond al
question, become common property OF all the
States, and co-equal and complete participation

The southern press., 1850-09-09

From the commencement Of the strife uron the
slave question, | have discovered that the old
tederalists, Democrats and all, Of the North, are
disposed to lay aside our constitutional Govern
ment, and change our system into a government
based entirely on numbers, They speak and act
on the principle that the substance Of the Consti-
tuition, may all he summed up in single SEN
tence, to wit: That The majority shall r1,le in all
cases. Upon this slave question, they know they
have the numbers, and therefore assume despotic
rule. And MIR. Clay 'savowed object, now seems
To be, to carry out these heresies to the last ex-
tremty. Who are the dsunioniss' Is it not
those who tramNle on the Constitution, and clam
for Congress the power 10 make and the EXec,l-
tive to enforce any law, which may receive the
sanction of a sectional majority II, indeed, the
South can be forced into unconditional submission

the Constitution is set at naught and tramped un-

equal constitutional rights can preserve the Union
Every breach upon the Constitution sewers some
cord of the Federal Union. And deeply regret
that truth compels me to say, that most Of the
cords which bind our glorious Union are already,
and fear, forever sundered. If the vital links il,
the chain Of the Union be broken, who can again
weld them together. Love, respect, and mutual
confidence, founded upon joint and equal rights
and interests, can alone unite hearts in one des-
tiny. Are not all those cords between the North
and the South, which bound them in one happy
Union, greatly weakened, if not entirely sundered
