llcan, in referring 10 The future course Of
Virginia, thus strikes the nail on the head:
We are opposed, however. TO any moro

sworn enough in Flanders, and should nov
act, or forever afterwards hold its peace.
Tie miserable policy OF adopting "patriotic''
resolutions just TO back out from them when
the emergency Which they are cesiyned to
meet arises, is as disgraccfult oa State as q
similar clustering policy would be in an in

The following resolutions are annexed to
the report presented to the Georgia Con-
vention to the committee of thirty-threc.
At the head of this committee it Will be
recoilectcd. was the Hon. C J. Jenkins,
whom MIR. Fillmore complimcntcd will, an
offer Of the office Of Secretary OF the Inter
Tor, when Ivy some fatality no person seem
cd to want Il. The whole report and reso-
lutIons bear unmistakeabie evidence that
the writer aimed 10 be rs submiss:vcly non.
rcsis,ent as possible, but was al the same
time exposed to influence and pressure in
the other direction. We let the resolutions
speak for themselves, however:
To the end therefore, that the position Of
this State may be clearly apprcncnded by
her coniedcratcs Of the South and of the
North, and that she may be blamelcss Of all
future consequences
BE it resolved by the people Of Georgia
IN Convention assembled, lst- That we
hold the American Union, secondary in I'M
p%ortance only to the rights and principles

associations, present f%ruilion, and future
prospects will bind lis 10 it so long as il
continues To be the safeguard OF those rights
and principles.
Secondly. That if the thirteen original
parties to the contract, bordering The Al
lantic in a narrow belt, while their separate
interests were in embryo, their peculiar
tendencies scarcely developed. their rcvo-
lutionary tria.s and %triumphs, still green in
memory, found Union impossible without

we'll yield somewhat, in The conflict OF opin-
ion and policy, To preserve that Union which
has extended the SWAY OF republican gov
ernment over n vast wilderness, TO another
ocean,, and proportionaliy advanced their
civilization and national greatness.
Thirdly, That in this spirit, the State Of
Georgia has maturcly considered the action
OF Congress embracing n series of measures
for the admission OF California into the
Union, the organization Of territorial Gov
ernnlcnts for Utah and New Mexico, the
establishment of a boundary between the
latter and the State OF Texas, the suppress

slaves, and Connected with lhem) tho re-
