THE GEORGIA CONVENTION
..The friends of the convention should take the
ground that the mode and measure or redress
should be left solely with that body, and rally
unon true firm and reliable men. "-.4ugusta Re
public.
Whatever diversity of views may exist among
Southern men-wiio believe that the South has
b,ra most fOully wrongel by the late lerisla-
lion at Westinghouse reference to the meas
ures of redress that the Convention should
adopt we aprrehend there can be no dissent
To the opinion expressed in this paragraph of
tie Republic Our own opinion is before our
re dcrs. We believe the issue is disunion or
GJoiitiOn and the only effectual remedy the cas-
admits, is for the Southern States immediately
Ia 90 out of Government that has not only
failed to protect their property, but has become
the aggressive robber of it. Other men as
truly devoted to the South MS we are, may differ
with Us. These may see glimmering rays of
hope from the future justice of Congress, and
the North, where the prospect is dark and hope
less to our mental vision. They may believe
Tat Il Government that will quietly set itself to
work IL rob one-haf of the States forming it,
OF every gestige of their territorial rights-the
wnole being based on the wea <ness and fears
of the States plundered--is a safe Government
to be entrusted with their other rights. They
may hope that q Government that has violated
the Constitution to work injustice, may do
justice hereafter without Constitution
We have no such hopes The Government
if il 'eouid, cannot control the political tanati-
csm that has mastered its reason, its Judgment,
its sense of justice and les constitution. 1t is
no longer tho Union. 1t is a Union between the
master States of the North and the rds sal States
Of the South. But differing on this vital point;
none but traitor in heart or an Aboli,ionist in
disguise can say, the South has suffered no
wrongs from the Government that demand re-
dress. All must admit that something ought to
be done TO rescue the Suite of Georgia from the
disgrace Of clear back out and an unconditional
submission to the rod of the opprcssor. For
this something's whatever it may be, we 90. And
ii the State will not adopt the only remedy we
believe left us, we will go for any other that its
sons in convention will recommend, and sustain
and defend it with all our power-always ex-
cepting II base and comardiy submission.
All then, but submissioDists and traitors will
agree with the proposition of the Republic"
that submissionists and traitors ought no. to be
sent BY the people rs delegates to that couven-
ton. II the people intend to submit do not let
them call convention to emblazon the degrl-
d.ton TO the world. Let it be done quietly
where each Georgian can blush within the pri-
Nacy of his own domicile-but do not let three
hundred Georgia Delegates meet at Milledge-
Vile, TO lok each other in the face and meet the
'gaze of their constituencies, while they vote for
such resoutionsas these:
RESOLVED, That tn. rights Of the South have
been shamelessly disregarded, and tramplcd OF
over a broken constituton---that the State O
Georgia solemnly affirmed that she would no
submit to wrongs which have now been co,sum
nated-but that we will submit, because the
virtue and valor of the people are not equal to
the crisis and incapable of making good her
words
RESOLVED, That while we have received moth
lng but injustice to the past we hope and pray
Tor justice in the futur'
RESOLVED, That while this convention is pre-
pared to submit to the indiguities the wrongs
aud the robberies of the past, the people o.
Georgia will not always submit, provided they
can pluck up sufficient spirit under future out
RACES.
RESOLVED, That the patriots of the South are
tine submissionists and the true traitors are the,
who have told the people Of their rights anC
urged them TO defend them. ADS
RESOLVED, That the people of Georgia hav
ing backed out, this convention adjourns sin,
die. @ Bum 4
