Brown to- day sent a special message to the
State Legislature. He thinks that but few
States will9meet the Southern Convention,
and does not recommend disappointment
of delegates from Georgia. Helhfnks the
Unconstitutional rights of the people of
Z Georgia have been violated by several
tnon-s lavettolding States 10 the extent OF
in the judgment OF all civilized
4 nations, the adoption of any measure ne
tcessary to the restoration and future pro-
\ lection of their rights. He refers to the
patriotic spirit in the origin Of our gov
eminent, and portrays the series OF I'M
constitutional aud untriendly acts commit
tied by sister States. He subsequently is
fpointedly severe on the Massachusetts
laws, saying, if the laws.of Massachusetts
cause the plumber of the property of
!; Georgia, the citizens of Massachusetts
must he compelled to compensate them.
BE advises a system of reprisals, and says,
let us meet unjust aggression and uncon-
stitutional State legislation, with just re-
taliation. He recommends the enactment
Eof laws authorizing the seizing of such an
/ amount of the money or property OF any
citizen of such Offending and fairhless
State, as will indemnify the losses Of the
citizens of Georgia.
/, :. He recommends legislation to drive the
manufactured articles of such offending
States from Georgia. He SAYS Georgia
has the right as soon as Northern goods
are brought to Georgia to tax as she
deems proper. He advises law taxing
siall goods and merchandise rs per centum
introduced after the first of January which
Eare manufactured in or brought from
Massachusetts,, Vermont, Michigan, Maine,
Rhode Island, New York, Wisconsin or
other pnfriendIy States, the tax to be re-
| mittcd when such unfriendly legislation
isrcpealed. Should such legislation prove
lnefectual he would recommend the re-
| peal of all parts of the penal or civil code
protecting the lives, liberties and proper
ties of the citizens of the States where
such unfricndly laws exist.
And he believes the legislation he has
i recommended will tend to strengthen,
rather than weaken, the ties of the Union
of States. 1t win destroy the sectional
t'controversy, narrow the issue to contest
between individual States. He says if the
| Legislature fails to ennct the laws he re-
commends that the people should rise in
their might, and at the ballot Lox demand
| their enactment.
He recommends that the sum of mil
lllion dollars he Immediately appropriated
us military fund for the ensuing year, and
that prompt provision be made for the
r,tising Of such portion as may not he in
the treasury, as fast MS the public expcn-
ditures require.
!. The Governor entcrtnins no doubt of the
right of each State to decide to act for
herself; butso long as all the States abide
in good faith TO their constitutional obli-
cations, no State can withdraw from the
Union without being guilty Of bad faith
to their Constitutional obligations.

/ Efforts were made yesterday, in the Lee
gislature to wait for southern cooperation
in the secession movement; but they fail

diate action. A large body of citizens
