Gov. Brown, in special message to the
Legislature, thinks but few States will meet
the South in Convention, and does not re-
commend the appointment OF delegates from
Georgia. He thinks the constitutional
rights of the people of Georgia have been
violated by several non-slaveholding States,
to the extent Of justifying, in the judgment
of civilized nations, the adoption of any
measures necessary for the restoration OF the
future protection Of their rights.
He referred to the patriotic spirit in the
origin of our government, and portrays the
series of unconstitutional and unfriendly
acts subsequently. He is pointedly severe
on Massachusetts, laws, and says if the laws
of Massachusetts, cause the plumber OF Geor-
gia's citizens, that State must be compelled
to compensate them.
He advises reprisals, and says: "Let US
meet unjust aggression, and unconstitutional
State legislation with just retaliation"
He recommends the enactment of laws
authorizing the seizure Of such amount Of
money or property of any citizen of such
offending and faithless State, for indemnify
ing the losses of citizens of Georgia. ,-
He recommends legislation to drive the
manufactured articles ofsuch offending States
out of Georgia. He says Georgia has the
right as soon as Northern goods are brought
into Georgia, to tax them as she deems
proper. He advised the passing of q law

he recommends the repeal of all parts of the
personal and civil code, protecting the
lives, liberties and property of the citizens OF
the States where such unfriendly laws exist.
He says: an my opinion the time for bold
and decisive action has arrived, and he is un.
worthy the confidence of the people of Geor-
gia who refuses to vindicate her honor at
any cost and maintain her constitutional
rights at every hazard" He believes the
legislation recommended will tend to strength.

of the States. 1t will destroy sectional con-
troversy and narrow down the issue to a
contest between individual States. He says
if the Legislature fails to enact these laws,
he recommends that tie people should rise

mand their enactment. "a 40. c.

self so long as all the States abide in good
faith by the constitutional obligations. No
State can withdraw from the Union without
being guilty of bad faith to the others, but
any violation Of the compact relieves all
parties. The right of secession for cause
was only denied by those who deny the SOW
ereighty of the States. The message fills
twenty-five closely printed octave pages. A
final review offensive to Northern legislation
concludes thus:
For the purpose of putting the State in de.
fensive condition as fast as possible, preparing
for the emergency which must be met sooner
or later. he recommends the sum of million
of dollars to be Immediately appropriated as a
military fund for the ensuing year, and prompt

as the public expenditures require. millions

be the future motto of the Southern States. To
every demand for further concession or com.
promise Of our rights. we should reply, the ar
gument is exhausted, and we now stand on our
arms.
