From the Augusta Republic, September "a.
Proclamation by the Governor of GeorgIs
George " TOWNS, Governor Of said State, !" the
Electors thereof, Greeting:
Having been officially informed, that the Congress
of the United States has admitted California into the
Union of the States of the Confederacy, upon equal
terms with the original States, duty deYolves upon
me- in the performance of which, shall trespass up
on the public but briefly
An unfeigned Difference for public opinion, and
the profound regard entertain for the wisdom, firm
and patriotism of my fellow citizens of Georgia.
will not justify me, in paper of this character, in
repeating my known and unchanged opinions as to
the duty of the South in repelng Free-sol encroach
ment, and arrestng, by all proper usurpation
by Congress-
Whatever is compatible with the honor and obi
cations of the People of this State to the country,
its laws, and its institutions, doubt not, will receive
their warm support.
In an hour of danger when your institutions
are in eopardy-your feelings wantony outraged,
your social organization derided your Eonor deeply
wounded and the Federal Constitution violated by a
series of aggressive measures all tending to the con-
summation of one object, the abolition of slavery
when your equal right to occupy and enjoy the COM
mon territory of ALL has been denied you, in the So
lemn form Of law under pretences the most shallow,
lit we'll becomes you assemble, to deliberate and
counsel together for your mutual preservation and
safety.
Whatever course the extraordinary events by
which we encompassed, will demand justify,
must be left, it should be- to the patriotsn firm
ness, and prudence of the people themselves. Upon
them devoves the duty of redressng present wrongs
and providing other safeguards for future security
| Neither the one nor the other of which, however,
will ever be efectually accomplished, until by pat
rotc efforts, perfect harmony and concord of feeling
are restored, and confidence and concert of action
produced among the people of the South.
In view therefore, of the atrocous free soil senti
ment and policy not merely of the non-slaveholdng
States but of the the imminent peril
to which the Institution Of slavery is reduced by the
act of Congress admitting the State of California in
to the Union, with constitution containing the prn-
ciple of the Wilmot ProvsO in defiance of our warn
ing and earnest remOnstrance In view OF the deplOr
able fact that diversity opinion exists in
of the Southern States to the proper mode Of re-
dressing the wrongs and everting the dangers which
all must see and feel let me, fellow citizens, earnest
y entreat you to cultivate for each other deep
abiding sentiment of fraternal regard and confidence
! and approach the task, from which there is es
cape, of deciding upon your duty to Georgia and the
country with a firm step, but not without calm, de
berate, and patient investigation, consulting Meth
yourselves from exasperated feelings of wrong Tho
other to be rashly urged to extreme measures, which
have not received the full sanction ofyour Judgment
Then shall not despair of seeing the whole State
rs one man, proposing nothing beyond what the
emergency may dcmand or failing to perform what
ever patriotism, honor, and right, may require a
your hands.
The General Assembly of this State, by an act ap
proved 8th February, 1850, having required me- up
on the happening of certain events, of which il
Il the admission of California a State into the Union
to issue proclamation, ordering an election to b.
held in each and every county for Delegates to
Convention of the People of this State, to take int
consideration such measures cOmpOrt with the eX
traordnary posture of our relations to coStates
and to decide upon what steps are necessary anC
proper to be taken compatible with honor anc
constitutional obligations, we'll more efectually
to right of property slaves and to
all aggressions by section of the Union upon thu
free enjoyment of the Constitutional rights OF thu
other and lastly, to preserve invioate the equalt.
of the States of the Union, guaranteed under th
! Constitution.
Therefore, be it known that I, George w Towns
Governor of the State of Georgia. by the authorit,
and mandate of the law, do issue this my proclama
ton ordering and directing that the qualified voter
for the most numerous branch of the General Assem-
blv, do meet at the several places of holding cleo
tons as fixed by law in the several counties of thi
State, within the hours fixed for voting on Monday

counties entitled to one Representative in tn
General Assembly, and four Delegates in such coun

bly,; and it is further ordered that the Delegate
