MESSAGE GOVERNOR BROWN, OF GEORGIA.
Mr. bas
sent special message to the State Legislature in
regard to the present crisis. He thinks but few
States will meet in the proposed Southern Conven-
ton, and he does not recommend the appointment
of delegates from Georgia. At the same time, he
says he thinks the Constitutional rights of the
people of Georgia have been violated by several
of the saveholding States to the extent of JUS
tifving, in the Judgment of civilized nations the
adoption of any necessary for the restora
ton of and the future protection of their rights.
He refers to the patriotic spirit manifested in the
origin of government, and deplores the present
existing grievances He portrays the series of I'M
constitutional and unfrendly acts, and subsequent
Iy is pOintedly severe Massachusetts, laws. lie
says if the laws of Massachusetts the plunder
OF the property Of the citizen of Georgia, the ci-
zens of Massachusetts must be compelled to COM
pensate him. He advises reprias and says:-Let
US meet unjust aggressions and unconstitutional
State legislation with just retaliation.
In this connection the Governor recommends
the enactment of laws authorising the seizure of
such an amount of money property of any citi-
zen of such offending and faithless State as an in
demniy for losses sustained by citizens of Georgia
He also recommends the Legislature to drive the
manufactured articles of such offending States from
Georgia. lie says that Georgia has the right, as
soon as Northern goods are brought to Georgia, to
tax them as she deems proper.
He next advises the passage of law taxing goods
and merchandise % per cent, introduced after the
lst of January, il manufactured in or brought from
Massachusetts, Vermont, Michigan, Maine, Rhode
Island, New \ ork, Wisconsin, and other unfriendlv
States, the tax to be RENTED when unfriendy Ie-
gislation shall be repealed.
Should such legislation as proposed prove inef-
fectua, the Governor recommends the repeal of all
parts of the penal and civil code protecting the
lives, liberties and properties of the citizens of the
States above named, and the properties of the citi
zens of States where such unfricndy laws exist.
After setting forth the various measures propos-
ed, the Governor saws: "ln my opinion the time
for bold decided action has arrived; and he is
worthy the confidence of the people of Georgia who
refuses to vindicate her honor at any cost main
tain her constitutional rights at every hazard
The Governor believes that the legislation re-
commended will tend to strengthen, rather than
weaken, the ties of the union of the States. They
will destroy sectional controversy, and narrow the
issue to a contest between individual States.
If the Legislature fails to enact these laws, he
recommends that the people should rise in their
might and at the ballotbox demand their enact
ment.
The Governor says he entertains no doubt of the
right of each State to decide and act for herself,
long all the States abide in good faith by their
constitutional obligations. No State withdraw
from the Union without being guilty of bad faith
to the others, but any violation of the compact re.
eves all parties. The right Of secession for
only denied by those 'gho deny the sovereignty OF
the States.
The message occupies twenty-t closely printed
octave pages, embracing full review of all often
sive Northern legislation. 1t ltconcludes thus
For the purpose of putting the State in defen-
sive condition fast possible, and preparing for
emergency which must be met sooner or later, /
recommend that the sum of million dollars be
Immediately appropriated a military fund for the
ensuing year, and that prompt provision be made
for raising such portion OF the money as NAV not
be in the Treasury as fast as the public expendi-
lures require. Millions for defence-not one cent
for tribute should be the future motto of the South
States
To every demand for further concession OF
compromise of our rights, we should reply The
argument is exhausted and we now stand on oul
arms"
