The following is teIegraphic synopsis Of Gov
Browns message to the Legislature of Georgia
MILLEpdEvIIE, Ca, Nov. 3.-Governor Brown,
in special message to the Legislature, thinks but
few States will meet the Southern Convention and
docs not recommend the appointment Of delegates
from Georgia. He thinks the constitutional rights
OF the people of Georgia have been violated by
several non-saveholdng States, to the extent of
Jnstiyng, IN the Judgment of civilized nations, the
adoption of any measures necessary to the full
protection Of their rights.

our government and portrayed the series of uncon-
sttuuonai and nnfriendy acts subsequently. He

Georgias citizens that State must be compelled to

unjust aggressons and unconstitutional state leps-
| laton with just retaliation" He recommends The
enactment Of laws authorizing the seZing OF such
amount Of money or property Of any citizen OF
such offending and faithless State for UNDERWRITING
the losses of citizens of Georgia. He recommends
legislation to drive the manufactured articles oil
such offending States out Of Georgia.

the union of the States. 1t will destroy sectional
controversy, and narrow down the issue to con.

Legislature fails to enact laws, recommend that
the people should rise in their might, and at the
ballot box demand their enactment
The Governor ertertains no doubt of the right of
each State to decide to act for herself SO long
all the States abide in good faith by the constitu-
tional obligation. No State can withdraw from the
Union without being guilty of bad acts to the 9TH
ers Any violation of the compact relieves all par.
ties. The right of secession for cause was only
denied by those who deny the sovereignty of the
States
The message fills twenty-five closely printed oc.

concludes thus: For the purpose of putting the
State in defensive condition as fast as possible,
preparing for the emergency which must be met
sooner or later, he recommends the sum of a mil
