THE NORTH CAROLINA STANDARDS WEDNESDAY,. Il, 1860
GEORGIA.

AUGUSTA, Nov S-Gov. Brown sent stirring
special message to the Legislature to-day.
Gov. Brown thinks that but few States will meet
in Southern Convention, and he does not recon-
mend the appointment Of delegates from Georgia
He thinks the constitutional rights of the people Of
Georgia have been violated by several non-slaye-
holding States to an extent of justifying, in the
Judgment of civilized nations, the adoption ofany
measures necessary for the restoration and future
protection of their rights He refers TO the patriot
ic spirit and origin Of our government and Portrays
series Of unconstitutional and unfrendly acts SUBJ
sequcntly.
He is pontedly severe on the Massachusetts, laws,
and SAYS if the laws of Massachusetts cause the
plumber IF the property Of Georgia, the citizens OF
Massachusetts must be compelled to compensate
them. He advises reprisals and says, 'let us meet
unjust aggressions and unconstitutional State legs-
laton, with just retaliation" lie recommends the
enactment of laws authorizing the seizing OF such
an amount OF money and property Of any citizen OF
such offending and faithlesS State, as an indemnl-
fication for the losses of citizens of GeOrgia.-He
recommends legislation TO drive the manufac-
tured articles Of such offending States from Georga,
and says Georgia has the right, soon as Northern
goods are brought to Georgia. to tax them as she
deems proper He advises the passage ola law tax
ing goods and merchandise, introduced after the lst
of January, 25 per cent, if manufactured in or
brought from Massachusetts, Vermont Michigan,
Maine Rhode Island, New York, Wisconsin, and
other unfriendy States; the tax to be RENTED
when unfriendly legislation is repealed Should
such legislation prove Intellectual, he recommends
the repeal of all parts of the penal and civil code
protecting the lives liberties and properties of citi
zens OF States where such unfriendly laws exist.
He says: I'm my own opinion the time for bold
and decisive action has arrived and he is unworthy
of the confidence of the people of Georgia who refus-
es to vindcate her honor at any cost and to main
tain her constitutional rights at every hazard
He believes the legislation recommended will tend
to strengthen rather than weaken this Union OF
States. 1t will destroy sectional controversy and
the issue to contest between individual
States. He says if the Legislature fails to enact
these laws, he recommends that the people should
rise in their might and at the ballot box demand
their enactment
The Governor entertains no doubt of the right Of
each State to decide to act for herself So long
all the States abide in good faith by their constItu
tional obligations no State withdraw from the
Union without being guilty of bad faith to the 9th
ers. ANY violence to the compact relieves all the
parties. The right of secession for cause, is only
denied by those who deny the sovereignty of the
States.
The message is % closely printed octave pages;
is full review of the offensive Northern legislation,
and concludes thus: For the purpose of putting
the State defensive condition fast possible,
and preparing for the emergency which must be
met sooner or later | recommend that the surn Of
one million of dollars be Immediately appropriated
military fund for the ensuing year, and that
prompt provision be made for raising such por-
ton of the money may not be in the treasury,
fast the public necessities require its expenditure.
Millions for defence not one cent for tribute
should be the future motto of the Southern States.
To every demand for further concession or CON-
promise Ct our rights, we should reply, The argu-
ment is exhausted; now stand arms "
