Columbia, or in places subject to the jurisdic-
ton Of Congress. incompatible with the safety,
the domestic tranquility, the rights and the
honor Of the slavehOding States; or any act
supPressing the slave trade between the slave
holding States; or any refusal to admit as
State any Territory hereafter applying, because
Of the existence Of slavery therein; or any act
prohibiting the introduction Of slaves into the
Territories Of Ulah and New Mexico: or any
act repeating or materially modifying the laws
now in force for the recovery Of fugitive slaves.
Resolved, that we approve and endorse the
action Of our last Congress in the passage Of
the Nebraska Kanzas act, and the principles
therein established; and in conformity with
these principles, the people Of Kanzas have the
right, when the number Of thsirpOpulatiOn JUS
ti6es it, to form Republican State Constitu.
ton, with or without slavery, as they may de-
termine, and be admitted into the Union upon
an equal footing with the other States, and
that her rejection BY Congress, on account Of
slavery, would be just cause for the disrup-
ton of all the ties that bind the State of Geor-
gia to the Union.
Resolved, That we adopt as our own the fol-
lowing resolution, passed unanimously BY the
last Legislature Of Georgia:
Resolved, by the General Assembly of the
State Of Georgia, That opposition to the prin-
cples Of the Nebraska bill. in relation to the
subject Of slavery, is regarded by the people of
Georgia as hostility to the people Of the South.
and that all persons who partake in such oppo-
sitiOn are unfit to be recognized as component
parts of any party or organization not hostile
to the South
Resolved, That in accordance with the above
resolution, whilst we are willing to act in party
association with all sound and reliable men in
every section of the Union, we are not willing
to affiliate with any party that shall not recog-
nize, approve and carry out the principles and
provisions OF the Nebraska Kanzas act; and
that the Democratic party of Georgia will cut
off all party connection with every man and
party at the North, or elsewhere, that does
not come up fully and fairly to this line Of &C
ton.
Resolved, That We sympatise with the friends
Of the slavery cause in Kanzas. ia their manly
efforts to maintain their rights and the rights
and interests of the Southern people, and that
we rejoice at their recent victories over the
paid adventurers and Jesuitical hordes of North
ern abolitiOnism; that the deep interest felt and
taken by the people Of Missouri in the settle
ment Of Kansas, and the decision OF the slavery
question in it, is both natural and proper, and
that It is their right and duty to extend to their
Southern brethren in that Territory every legit-
innate and honorable sympathy and support,
In the name of freedom and an outraged
North, We ask If the LOcOfOco party in Ohio is
prepared to stand by that platform Of political
faith ? In view of all the developments Of
the past year, is that party still ready to en-
dorse the infamous bill of Atchison, Douglas
& Co., by which slavery has been enabled to
invade the free soil Of Kanzas and Nebraska
With perfect knowledge that the settlers of
Kanzas have been invaded and literally con-
quered by horde of pro-slavery Missourians,
who have imposed upon them their represen-
tatives both in Congress and in the Territorial
legislature. are the masses of that party in the
free State Of Ohio prepared to say that Kauzas
ehall come into the Union as q slave State p
DARE the leaders of that party proclaim their
acquiescence in this Georgia resolution Dare
they say to the people of the State that it will
be sufficient cause for dissolution of the u
nion, If we of the free States do not tamely
submit to that monster fraud ? We proclaim it
as the firm and unalterabe determination Of
the people Of Ohio that they never will sanction
that giant outrage by any such acquiescence,
and no party can for moment live among us
that will take the opposite ground.
"0ppositiOn to the Nebraska bill is regarded
by the people of Georgia as hostility to the
South. And all persons who oppose that bill
CARE UNFIT TO BE RECOGNIZED as component.
parts of any organization not hostile to the
South" "The Democratic party Of Georgia
will cut off all party connection with every man
and party at the North that does not come up
fully and fairly to this line of action. Such is
the language of the Democratic party of Geor.
gia. 1t is the language of the entire SOUTH
The men of that party in Ohio see their doom.
The fat has gone forth. They must either
Cringingly submit, like Cowed slaves to their
masters lash, or they must stand up like prOud
freemen, and refuse the base humilitiOn. Will
they do it +? They cannot escape by any sub.
terfuge. II they act like Northern freemen
and presume to think for themselves they will,
at once, be cut off from the countenance and
favor Of The intense pro-slavery men Of the
South. If they dare to submit; il thegs spro.
