From the South.

MILLEDeEvILLE, Ca, Nov. S.-Gov. Brown
in a special message to the Legislature, thinks
but few States will meetin the Southern Con
~vention, and does not recommend the appoint
ment of delegates from Georgia. He thinks
the Observation-Disclosures of the people1of Geo.
gia have been violated by several non slave
holding States, to the jusafying, in the judg.
ment of civilized cations, of the adoption OF
any measures necessary for the restoration Cd
the future protection of their rights.
He refers to the protection in the origin OF
our Government, and portrays the exercises Of
a series of unconstitutional and unfriendly acts
subsequently,. A[v
He is pointedly severe on the Massachusetts,
law, and says if the laws of Massachusetts,
cause plumber from Georgias citizens, that
State must be compelled to compensate them.
He advises reprisals, and says: "Let us meet
unjust aggressiens and unconstitutional State
Legislation with just retaliation" He recon-
mends the enactment of laws authorizing the
Selling of snch amount of money or property
of any citizen of such offending and falthless
State for ihdemnifying the Losses of citizens of
Georgia.
He recommends legislation to drive the
manufactured articles of such offending States
out of Georgia.. He says Georgia has the
right, as soon as Northern goods are brought
into Georgia, TO tax them rs she deems proper.
He advises the passing of a law taxing
goods and merchandise rs per cent. introduced
after the LIST of January, if manufactured IN
or brought from Massachusetts,, Vermont,
Michigan, Maine, Rhode Island, New York,
Wisconsin, or any other unfriendly State, and
the tax to be RENTED when the unfriendly
Legislation is repealed. ~
Should such legislation prove Intellectual,
he recommends the repeal of all of the penal
and civil code protecting the lives, liberties
and property of the citizens of States where
such untriendly laws exist. EIEIIlr.- .
He says: ain my opinion, the time for
bold and decided action has arrived, and he is
unworthy the confidence of the people CT
Georgia who refuses to vindicate her honor at
any cost, and maintain her constitutional right
at every hazard. .zEkD
He believes the legislation recommended
will tend to strengthen rather than weaken
the ties of the union of the States. 1t will
destl oy sectional controversies apd narrow
down the issue to a contest between Individual
States. = --
L He says, if the legislature fails to enact
such laws, he recommends that the people
should rise in their might and at ballot-box
demand their enactment.
The governor entertains no doubt of the
right of each State to decide to act for her
self. sos sht.t

by the constitutional obligations, no State can
Withdraw from the Union without being guilty
of bad faith to the others. Any violation OF
the compact relieves all parties. The right
OF secession for cause was only denied by
those who deny the sovereignty of the States.
The message fills y closely printed octave
pages. "A tuA review of offensive Northen
legislation concludes it. 5.
For the purpose Of patting the State in a
defensive condition as fast as possible, prepar-
ing for the emergency which must be met
soOuer or later, he recommends the sum of a
million dollars to be immediately appropriated
as a military fund for the ensuing year, and
prompt provision made for the raising such
portions of the money as may not be in the
treasury, as fast as the pubnc expenditures
requlre. stMillions for defence, not one cent
for tribute" should be the future motto of the
Southern States. To every demand for fur
ther concession or compromise of our rights,
We should reply, argument is exhausted, and
we now stand on our arms. g.r
