The Georgia Co~vsutioa of hs Psopts-Grou.ad
Of me So1H.-1ns Uaion and tfs Value, &c, &c.
has now been two weeks since the adjournment of the
Georgia Convention During this time have closely
watched the OF the press aud the leading of the
State, with the view Of ncang you correct in
formation as 10 the state Of public opinion among the
people ,,,,. :, =. .......,..
saa need hardly assure you h thar their almost
enthusiastic in their expressions of qualification Even
aides with The friends Of the Union while those who sand
back have undergone wonderful change These latter
scendlng TO state Distinctly The reasons their hostility
The truth is they feel the awkwardness OF their petition
and tina, could have gone further without endanse
Ing the Unon nor done less without sacrificing somewhat
mate object is the destruction OF the Union, they find it
difficult 10 coadenn approve of the action of the
venton II they would specify the grounds Of their oppo.
stion, would then be evident that they seek the
throw OF the government whereas is their purpose to
keep their object concealed from the people 50, II they
70 give in their adhesion what the convention has
done they see that they would thereby be concluded from
continuing the agitation upon which they have lived Tor
the past year.
The ground taken by our convention is in my humble
Judgment the RICH, ground for the South Upon 1t the
southern States always excepting South Carolina, will
done But while they do this Ihey cannot close their eyes
to the hostile feeling which has been manifested towards
stituents during the past few months Hence Georgia
sdered her duly to point out in spirit OF kindness,
erect landmarks the guidance men, that
they might avoid the boomess abyss into which the fanatic
the North Will persist in directing the ship of State upon
those rocks-f she will disregard those andmarks-or
gres.vey pom rights either the District Of Coum-
biz. and subject the arsd Of Congress or by
suppressng the trade between the southern States
BY applying the proviso to tho Territories Of the United
States, by refusing any State admission into the Union
because the constitution thereof may tolerate by
repeating materially modifying the fugitive slave awl
say y the North WI insist upon pelPeatmg either or all
That Georgia viii maintain the position OF her conven-
mates and tho other southern States, twothirds oil
them, will sustain her. In all the speeches which heard
during the observed that even Union
were more loud in their applause OF sentiments of devotion
significant fact shows that they love the Union less
| but that they love the South more
But, this my letter you prefer speak
hopefully of the Union II often reminds of
tfnl and domestic song OF the poet;
| Woodman spare that
/ Touch q single bough
| In youth il sheltered
| And IN protect now.n
i That uec-the OF liberty-has been in danger. Il
has protected through the of the revoutont has
shaded in peace and although its lea be with
cred by the blast should be policy lay the
10 its roosa Oh, no let noush It's Toots-le apply
the fostering md of and it will, b,
the blessing of God, bloom and blossom, and send forth
branches East and West North and South until it shall
afford shelter for the friends OF liberty and the
OF all lands thr on hout the civilized World
