pointed on the committee and accepted
the trust. l Submitted propositions, which
so far from receiving decided support
from a single member Of the Republican
part of the committee. were all treated
with derision and contempt. A vote was
taken on amendments to the Constitution
proposed by Mr.. Crittenden, and each
and all of them were voted against inva-
riably by the Black Republican members
of the committee. In addition to these
facts, a majority of the Black Republican
members distinctly declared that they had
no guarantees to offer, which was silent
ly acquiesced in by the other members.
The committee Of 80 is controlled by the
Black Republicans, your enemies, who
only seek to blind you with a delusive
hope until your election, that you NAV
defeat the friends Of secession. If you
are deceived by them, it shall be no fault
of mine. / tell you, upon the word Of 2
true man, that all further looking 10 the
North for security for your rights in the
Union, onght 10 be instantly abandoned.
It is fraught with nothing but ruin to
yourselves and your postcrity. Secession
by the 4th of March mex should be
Numbered from the ballot-box BY the n
animous voice of Georgia on the 2nd of
January next. Such a voice shall be your
best guarantee for liberty, security, tran
guilty and glory Signed R. ToOmbs.
