Resolved, That we invite those who mediate these
aggressious to pause before they perpetrate wrong
which they cannot remedy and which people hav-
ing the spirit ottreemen will never submit.
Resolred, That should the event occur in which it
shall become the duty of the Governor under the dec-
ton of the last Legislature to call convention OF the
people of Georgia, to consider of the necessary mea

be within her boundary, is hers, on every prime pe of
national law that is recognized by the resolutions OF
Congress admitting her into the Union that the demand
OF portion oft now by the government, with sword
IN one hand and purse in the other, is unbecoming
the dignity ofthe naiion is grossly immoral and cannot
and will not be approved or sustained by vlruons and
enlightened people.
Resolved, That the message of President Fillmore
to Congress, strongly intimatng his determinations by
force of arms, to prevent sovereign member OF the
conederacy from enforcing its laws in territory which
it bona fde claims to be within its boundary without
warrant in the constitution laws and if he attempts
to carry his purpose into effect the public liberty and
the safety of the constitution demands that his conduct
should be investigated at the instance of the branch OF
this government holding the power OF Impeachment.
Resolped That in the emergency in which the State
of Texas is placed, by her relations with the General
Government, she has the sympathies of the people OF
Georgia, and will have their aid and support in any
she may adopt to save her honor her proper
~ and her political and constitutional rights.
Resolred, That we approve Of the wise orbearance
of the Nashville Convention in not presenting TO the
people remedy for the meditated aggressions OF Con-
gress on Southerrzghts that any proposition of that
sort might have been construed into effort to intim
date the public authorities in their deliberations; and
we approve of the course of that body in adjounng
over, until the action OF the General Cove nment in the
delicate and exciting question which led to its convoca
ton by the people should be known, and if OF cha
racer to require it, be reassembled.
ReS0loed, That we dlsapprove OF the measure known
its adoption in detached parts will be offensive as its
enactment as whole, and the pretence that it contains
the principle OF "non-interyenton, is attempt tc
practice gross fraud upon the people, for it nerpose
to sever portion of the Territory OF Texas in which
Is known tree State be created and place it il
the power OF the Government to favor the promotion
Tree States therein; mterposes to convert Distric
which had formed a constitution, which respected the
rights Of the South into Territory, while adm its
California whose constitution contains direct ag
erosion OF these rights.
Resolved That the contest in which we are engaged
is no mere party warfare; it is struggle for the Const
tuition and the rights of freemen against sectional and
unconstitutional constructions, and hail brethren
all who enter into it with zeal and rmness, and with
spirit to ask nothing but what is right and TO submit to
nothing that is wrong.
| RESOLVED, That cordially greet the able and tai
ented delegation sent by sister State Alabama, 10
| this meeting, and welcome them to a participation in
our deliberations; and that approve and applaud the
noble manifestations of the people of this gallant State
| in the cause OF constitutional right and liberty.
heS0l0ed, That we recommend to the people OF Geor-
ga the patronage OF the Southern Press, recently esa5-
lIshed at ashingon, as an able and independent advo
cate OF the Constitutional rights of the South.
Resotued, That we highly approve the rally which
Southern members OF Congress making III defence
OF our rights and trust that they will carry out IN
their full extent their Resolution to oppose by every
constitutional means to the last extremity the offensive
and unconstitutional measures which the North has re-
solved to force upon them and upon u.s.
| We may readily Judge, from the resolution
concerning Mr.. Fillmore's message, that this
magnificent mass meeting Of the entire population
of Georgia, was simply collection of few hot
| headed gentlemen OF the South Carolina school,
many of whom were actually imported for the
! occasion from the two neighbourng States to stir
up, if they could, the more temperate blood of the
Georgians. The speakers besides Mr.. Rhett
| were Mr. Yancey, Of Alabama, for whom we
| confess we have a rather tender regard, on &C.
count of the service his candour did the Wins
cause in 184S, Mr.. Cochran of the same State
and the Ex-Hon w. Il. Colquitt, who has beer
SO long under political cloud that we canno
wonder at his apparition under even the untoware
circumstances of the Macon mass meeting.
The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel speaks Of
! the meeting as follows
The dsorganizers have met signal rebuke from thu

This is WELL and ii may to teach them lesson by

councils and associations.
