MILLEDGEylLLE, Ga, Nov. SIS P. n.
Gov. Brown, in a special message TO the
Legislature, thinks bat few States will meet
1.-THE Sou hern Convention, and does not re-
commend the appointment of delegates
from Georgia. He thinks the constitutions
Ial rights Of the people Of Georgia have
been violated by several non-slayeholding
States, to the extent Of iustifying, in the
Judgment Of civilized nations, the adoption
Of any measures necessary for the restor-
alton Of the future protection of their
rights.
lie referred to the patriotic spirit in the
origin Of our government, and portrays the
series Unconstitutional and unfriendly acts
subsequently, He is pointedly severe on
Massachusetts, laws, and says if the laws Of
Massachusetts cause plumber from Georgia's
citizens, that State must be compelled to
compensate them.
He advises reprisals, and says; LET
us meet unjust aggression, and unconsti-
Itutional State legislation with just retalia-
Itlon."
He recommends the enactment of laws
authorizing the Selling Of such amount Of
money or property Of any citizen Of such
offending and faithless State, for idemnify-
ing 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 ire
brought into Georgia, to tax them as she
deems proper He advised the passing OF
a law taxing goods and merchandise rs per
cent, introduced after the FIRST Of January,
manufactured in and brought from Massa-
chusetts, Vermont, Michigan, Maine, Rhode
Island, New York, Wisconsin, or any 9th
IL unfriendly States, and the tax to be re
mitted. When the uneriendly legislation is
repeated such legislation prove In
etiectual-he recommends the repeal Of all
parts Of the personal and civil code, protect
ing the lives, liberties and property Of the
citizens Of the States.
Where such unfiendy laws exist, he
says, in my opinion tie time for bold and
decisive action has arrived, and he is un-
worthy the confidence of the people of
Georgia who refuses to yindicate her honor
1T any cost and maintain her constitutional
rights at eyery hazard. lie believes the
Legislation recommended will tend to
strengthen rather than weaken the ties OF
the union Of the States. It will destroy
sectional controversy and narrow down the
issue to d contest between individual States.
He says if the Legislature ills to enact
these laws, he recommends thas the people
should rise in their might, and, al the bal
liot-box, demand their enactment
The Governor entertains no doubt ofihe

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 twonty-twoclosely printed octave pages.
"a final review offensive to Northern legis-
lation concludes thus:
For the purpose ofputting the Safe in
defensive condition as fast as possible, Pre-
pairing for the emergency which must be
lmet sooner or later, he reconmendsthes sum
Of a Million Of dollars to be imme stately
appropriated as a military fund for the en-
lsuing year, and plompt provision be made
for raising such portions Of the money As
lmay not be in the treasury as fasS as the
public expenditures require. millions for
defence; not one cent for tribute should
Ibe the future motto Ct the Southern States.
To every demand for further concession q
compromise ofour rights, we should reply,
1.-THE argument is exhausted, and we now
stand on our arms.
