Very few of the organs of "Souhen Rights" in Georgia
can be induced follow the banner of the Qu1xohc Times

he proposed that gentleman 10 come home t" Georgia
and take the vacant place OF leader ol The southern hss

lead it on to triumph and victory In the artor OF his zeal
he even overs,epped all the limits OF prudent moderation
and supposing Mr. roomhs ready with him AT all ha
Yards and the last extremity stood ready TO uminf e
banner Of secession III the equal participation IN The
territories demanded by Nh Toombs were not conceded
Pressng his ardo the editor got rather ahead Of the
music, and finally ahead oil Mr. IoonlhS The latter drew
back and finally when the equal participation was refused
by Congress- said in debate that there was no aggression
lipOn South and injustice done her. The Times
ing the wrong done against which Mr. ToombS, launched
his thundcrs in anticipation kept straight ill it got lar
advocate immediate secession the reniedy-a posi-
ton not teaabs Georgia and III which those VINO otcn?y

The "Federal Union" OF the school, published at
Mledgevie and supposed TO reflect the sentiments of Gov
Townes comes boldly and declares that
"se Convention ough, and will decide upon sca
rate and Independent, State action There among
who the avowed advocates 81 secession The public
large fully advised villa, they by this measure
Few if any of them imagine, favor immediate secession
and fewer still, the secession OF Georgia ly herscJ:.
Ii asks 'wha,, then, ought the Convention do" In
giving the answer, it lays down the following PLATFORM
which is satisfactory the South Carolina politicians
whose thinks nuch should
be adopted"
deliberate upon the merits remedy OF non-nercnursc
Of retaliation bv repisas and By system Of dsciinna
ting taxation Ii these any other similar measures with
in the Constitution promise success, and can unite the
Convention and the people, they should b. adopted.

II is not expected ihat This Convention 81 all
the South shul adopt the remedy the secession OF ali
the Southern States ill il has presented lis nnaium 10
the North, and given the States there reasonable time 10
retrace their steps, opportunity of furnishing il not in

Of the South In the time, liz. States OF the South
be muking all necessary arrangements for their mutual
defence and preparing themselves for any contingency that
may await them.
Our opinion is thu, The Convention should 90 far
Their than foot discriminating measures against
Northern States who by denying justice the South in the
recovery Of her property, shall daw down upon their heads
the consequences of their folly and madness They
should be warned that if by the Vaccinations

provisions for the security of Southern property, shall be
pealed nuled they shall be of from all the benefits
