Georgia LEGISLATION.

The following is the proceedings of this
body on the Vermont resolutions, which were
communicated to the Legislature by the Gov
ernor:
Mr.. Jones, Of Morgan, offered resolution that
the Governor transmit to the Governor of Yer
mont, with request to lay the same before the
Legislature of said State the resolves of the Geor
gia Convention of 1850, and to enclose within the
same leaden bullet.
Mr. Terhune said he would go for that if they
would send powder with it.
Mr.. Jones. And coil of rope
Mr.. Terhune. Hanging is too good for trail
tors" Words were useless. The time for action
had come.
Mr. Crook, chairman of the committee, assured
the gentleman from Floyd that the committee had
as much contempt for these things as he.
Mr. Smith, of Union, offered the following reso-
utions, the reading of which was received with
applause by the House:
Resolved BY the General Assembly of the State
of Georgia, that his Excellency, the Governor, be,
and he is hereby, requested to transmit the Yer
mont resolutions forthwith to the deep, dark and
fetid sink of social and political iniquity from
whence they emanated with the following une-
quivocal declaration inscribed thereon:
Resolved, That Georgia, standing on her consti-
tutiona palladium, heeds not the maniac rawlings Of
hell-born fanaticsm, stoops from her lofty po-
sition to hold terms with peuured traitors.
The motion to refer prevailed. A motion was
then made to print five hundred copies of the gov
ernors message, accompanying these resolutions,
and Vermont resolves. The House would not for
moment entertain the idea of printing these in
suits, but after some further debate one hundred
copies of the message were ordered to be printed.
In the Senate, the following resolution was OF.
fered
Resolved, That his Excellency, President Pierce,
be requested to employ sufficient number Of able
bodied Irishmen TO proceed to the State of Yer
mont, and to dig ditch around the limits of the
same, and TO float /" the thing into the Atlantic.
