An Address from senator Toombs.

Is'soL -Sii'sH'i t'O'''' WV
eraphcd the following address to the people OF
Georgia, assuming, very correctly. that there
is no hope of compromise from the acton OF
the Senate committee
Il came here to secure your constitutional
rights, and to demonstrate to you that you cati
get no guaranty for those rights from your
Northern con(cderatcs The whole subject was
referred to committee Of thirteen in the Sen
ate. was appointed on the committee, and
accepted the trust. ! submitted propositions,
which, so far from receiving decided support
from single member Of the Republican party
Of the committee, were all treated with derision
0" contempt \ vote was then taken in the
committee on amendments to the Constitution,
proposed by Hon. j. J. CrittenGcn, and each
and ali ur them were voted against unanimously
by the Black Republican members of the Com
mttce In addition to these facts, minority
Of the Black Republican members Of the COM
mittee declared distinctly that they had no
guarantees 70 offer, which was silently acqui-
esce1 in By the other members The Black
Republican members Of this committee OF thir-
teen are representative men Of the party and
ssclon, and, to the extent Of my information,
truly represent them.
lHC IOIlIililltSS VI va ''N"i
adjourned for week without coming to my
vote, after solcnnly plcdgins themselves to vote
on all the propositions then before them on
that dly. 1t is controlled by the Black Re-
publicals, your enemies, who only seek 10
amuse you with dclusiyc hope until your cleo
ton that YOU may defeat the friends of Scces-
sion. If you are deceived by them it shall not
be my fault have put the test fairly and
frankly. 1t is decisive against you no%. |!
tell you upon the faith Of Il truc Inan, that all
further looking to the North for security for
your constitutional rights in the Union ought
to be instantly abandoned. 1t is iraught with
nothing but ruin 10 yourselves and your pos
tcrity Secession by the 18th day Of March
next should be thundercd from the ballot-boy
by the unanimous vote Of Georgia, on the End
day Of January next. Such a voice w!i be
your best guaranty for liberty, security, tran
guilty and glory. K. Too&rS.

Norfolk Herald has the following obituary of the distn-
guished deceased,
He was born in the ancient city of Williamsburg in

Richmond and commenced the practice of his profession
IN his native city.
His first public service in the Legislature of Yir-

olutors of l79S were adopted. The next year he was
elected to Congress- aud aided in the choice of Mr. JEFF
iersOn over Aaron Burr.
He declined a reelection TO Congress- and moved to
Norfolk in 1901 where he at once commanded large
and lucrative practice and was soon distinguished among
the most distinguished in the State At the instance OF
the President Of the United States he argued the Yazoo
case with great ability and added greatly to his repua-
ton by his arguments in the Court of Appeals of Vrgi
MIA in some the most important cases IN that Court
His last professional effort when he appeared the
bar of the Supreme Court Of the United States in what
was commonly known at the time as the "COchinea"
case At this tine he OF counsel with Mr.. W. bster,
and opposed by VIM Pnkney, of Maryland. 1t vas
lring this exciting trial that Mr. Pnkney died sdlen-
Perhaps no forensic display in country has been
more distinguished for profound and scientific proies.
sona lore than in his frequent contests in our mmediat
Courts with his great competitor, the late Judge Taylor
In these contests the principles of civil, municipal and
maritime law were discussed with ability which, at the
time commanded general admiration, aud lifted the ad
yocates to the highest poiHt of professional fame.
Mr. Tazewe appointed in 1920 one Of the Com
mis>ioucrs under the onda Treaty and this work ac-
coRpished he was elected to the Senate Of the United
States, wher he found superior even in the day Of
Cay, Calhoun and Webster.
