Georgia Convention Secession the

Remedy.
California admitted as she stands, a con-
ventiOn Of the people is 10 be held 10 de-
eide on The mode and measures Of redress
Georgia Is in for il-see the resolutions Of
the Legislature on this subject in another
places This being a "fxed Tact' the ques
lion for the people is, what sort of a con-
%vention will they elect7 Shall it be one
that will vote with the CEawloTdsVIlle
meeting, that Congress has '.PerpetTated
no act calling for resistance, " and SD al ad
journ with resolutions Of submission and
hack out, spread in black and white on the
State archives. Or shall il be one that
will see the wrongs, take action for redress
and face the consequence These are
momentous topics for the consideration Of
the People. Some will come to an easy
conclusion, and by a rapid process. Tim
idity will shrink at once, and submit with
cut 2 murmer. Partyism that has linked
its fate with the Uuion, under all circum
stances, and sinks or swims with the defeat
or triumph Of The Clay Omnibus will plead
that no wrong has been done and resistance
is treason: while the secret sympathizers
with The abolition movement y i'll 60 to the
polls and vote for submission candidates,
But what will the southern men Of Geor-
gia do7 What will the Planter, whose
property, great or small, is invested in
land and negroes do7 What will the south
ern man, who though he is property less,
yet possesses a heart loyal to the inslitu-
tons Of his state, and who sees doom Of
degradation and ruin involving all classes
10 the south in a common grave, looming
up in The future, as the direct consequence
Of submission-wbat will he do2 What
will tie women Of Georgia-who detest a
craven in man as they loathe a wanton in
woman, who rely upon father and brolh~
ers, husbands and lovers, 10 sustain the
rights oflheir country, and their own equal
dignity with the best Of he American race,
in order to he worthy of their love, pride
and joy What will the women Of Georgia
do2 We ask these questions, but for the
purpose Of answeIing hem. We can only
answer for one-ourself; aud every other
man must answer on his own solemn res
possibility to himself, children and country.
II the action Of Congress makes It lmpera-
tive on the Governor underline instructions
ofthe Lrgj IaIure, to call the convention,
ourbwD FIRST choice will Re Tor secession, and
our votes ard efforts will be 81. adily given
to effecI that end. We need not here re-
peat our reasons. They have been given
in every number Of this paper for months
past, We have no idea OF submitting TO
the rule OF an abolition Government, as
this Government will be, II it dares 10 pass
these pending omnibus bills. Nor will we
be responsible BY any acl Of ours for the
i, dreadful consequences TO oveFtnke the
southern people, if they are tame enough
quietly to submit TO such measures,
We 60 then for secession-quietly, ifltr
alone; forcibly If made necessary. We
are Tor meeting the defiance Of The NORTH
on this issue, and are againstall temp6rar,
expedients, or new and postponed issues
. II Georgia courage and patriotism arr equa
/, 10 the crisis, il will be weIl-weIl for pre-
sent and furture generations, If she quail,
and covers when the consequences o
standing 10 her wotd-her rights, star,
r her in the face-we cannot help il. wv
shall have done our duty to orr parenta
soil; and will afterwards turn our thought
TO taking care Of our selves and children
and sverliUg as far as possible, the evil
and dangers which are sure 10 follow sur
render.
