PROCLAMATION OF GOVERNOR 70 VINE.
Macon, Ga Sept. 23l0 O'Clock P. nj.
To the Electors Of the State Of Georgia:
Below l forward the Proc ametlon oil Governor
Towns Of Georgia:
George w. Towns, Governor OF the said State,
to the electors thereof, greeting Having bseo OF.
fcially informed that the Congress OF the United
States has admitted California into the Union OF
the Btntes OF the Confederacy upon equal terms
with the original States, duty devolves upon NO.
in the performance Of which shall tresPass upon
tho public but briefly. An unteigned Difference
for public opinion, and the profound regard enter
tain for the wisdom, frmnesG and patriotism OF my
felow-citizens OF Georgia, will not justify me- IN
paper of this character, in repeating my known
unchanged opinions as to the duty OF tho Soasn In
repelling Free Soil encroachment and arres'lng'
by all proper means, usurpetion by Congress
Whatever liz compatible with the honor and OBJ
liestions of the people of the State TO the country
it's laws and it's institutions, | doubt not VIII
receive their warm support, in an hour OF danger,
when your Institutions are injeopsrdy, your feel-
ngs wantonly outraged your social organz alton de,
rided your honor deeply wounded, and the tederel
Constitution violated by series of aggressive
measures, all tending to the contamination Of one
obiecs-the abolition of Slavery. The co nmon ter
ritory OF all, which you have equal right to &C.
cupy and enjoy, has been denied you in the solemn
form OF law under pretenceg the most shalloR-lt
well becomes you TO assemble, to deliberate ana
counsel together for your mutual preservation and
safety whatever it may cost. The extraordinary
events by which we are enoompaGsed, and the
measures which i. will demand or Justify, must be
left as they should be, to the patriotism tirmness
and prudence of the pc ople Themselves Upon
them devoves the duty of redressing present
wrongs and providing ether safeguards tor tature
securty-nether she one nor tins other OF which,
however will be efectually accomplished,
until by patriotic efforts, perfect harmony and con-
cord of feeling are restored and concert of action
produced among the people of the South.
fnyiew therefore, OF the atrocous free SOL SEN
timent and policy, not merely of the non.Slave-
holding Slater, but OF the government-oi the I'M
minent peril to which the institution OF slavery is
reduced by the act of Congress admitting the
Stnte of California into the Union with congtltu-
ton containingthe principle OF the Wttmot Pfouiso,
and in defiance OF our warning and eHrnest re-
monasrance--in view of the deplorsbte fact thas
some diveraity Of opinion exists IN SONS OF the
Southern States as to the proper mode OF redress
ing the wrongs and avoiding the dangers which all
must see and feel--et me, fellow citizens earnest,
" en,reat you to cultivate for each other deep
and abiding sentiment OF fr&ternal regard and con-
hdenoe and approach the task, from whl1h there
is no escape of deciding upon your DUTY to Georgia
and the country, with firm atep, but not without
CAIN deliberate and patient investigation, con-
aulting neither fears nor dangers on the one hand,
nor permitting yourselves, from exaggerated feel
irge of wrong on the other to be rashly urged to
extreme meaaures, which have not received the
full sanction OF your Judgment. Then shall not
despair Of seeing the whole State, az one man,
proposing nothing beyond what the emergency
may demand, or failing to perform whatever patti
otism honor, and right may require at 1ur hands.
