THE SECESSION FEELING IN GEORGIA.
COLUMBUS, Nov. 23.-A mass meeting of this and |
surrounding counties in Georgia and Alabama will !
be held here to morrow. Prominent men from
Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina will be here |
to hold private consultation to devise a plan for
probable secession. The merchants will close their |
stores during the day.
1t is thought here that it will be advisable for the
southern banks to suspend in a short time.
The Convention of Alabama has legislative DOW
ers, and will undoubtedly authorize the suspension
THE VOTE OF OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF Gov BROWN
The following message was received by the
Legislature of Georgia on Tuesday last, from the
Governors
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, !
Milledgeve, Nov. 90 1860 I
To the General assembly:
The official returns of the election fer electors to
cast the vote of this State for President and Vice
President of the United States, held on the 9th
day of this month have been received at this office
from all the counties of the State except the coun-
ty OF Iattnall, whose vote could not change the
result
have caused these returns to be consolidated.
and added together, and find that no one of the
tickets, nor any individual upon any one of the
tickets, have received majority of all the votes
cast at said election. The act of 23d December
l843, provides in such that the General Assem-
bly, shall proceed by joint ballot to the election of
electors for President and Vice President of the
United States.
Its now aScertaned that the Black Republican par
ty has trlumphed over US, and has elected its cand-
Gates for President and Vice President. The vote of
georgia cannot therefore change affect the final
result In this crisis unanimity of sentiment among
the people of this State is greatly to be desired
ana bitterness OF party strife is greatly to be depre
Gated. 1t is question, therefore, worth the CON
slderation of the General Assembly whether bar-
mOny would not be promoted and party strife alayed
by refusal, on the part of the General Assembly,
to enter into an election, which have no prac-
tcal effect nor in any way promote the interest of
this State.

THE GEORGIA NATIONAL CONVENTION BILL.
The following resolutions have been introduced
int, the 0evrSia I.eaisleture..- ..--.-
liberties @ @ rha State of Georgia, by the grace of
God, free, sovereign, and independent, did by its
Legislature on the 10th day of February, in the
year of our Lord 1877, at Augusta, in said State,
appoint certain commissioners, to wit: William
Few, Abraham Baldwin, William Pierce, George
Walton, William Houston, and Nathaniel Pendle-
ton, to meet such deputies as might be appointed
and authorized, by other States, to assemble in
convention at Philadelphia, and to join with them
in devising and discussing all such alterations and
further provisions might be necessary to render
the Federal Constitution adequate to the exigen-
cies of the Union; and, whereas, said delegates did
meet in convention, in pursuance of the authority
delegated in such act, at the place aforesaid, and
as delegates of separate, sovereign, and in
dependent State, grant certain powers to
Federal Government because those powers, in
their opinion, could be effectually ex-
ercised for the protection Of their rights and
interest in a conederated capacity than an indi-
vidual State, and for no other purpose; and
whereas, in the combined wisdom of the delegates
of the several States thus assembled, they gave
birth to constitution so just and equitable in its
provisions, so guarded in its phraseoogy, and so
benignant in its spirit, that the presence of divn
ity almost be traced in its formation; and
whereas, a certain sect of fanatics, rising first in
the New England States, and afterwards spreading
itself over the whole North, has preached up
higher law doctrine, and, having not only been
faithless to said compact, have subverteo by their
State authorities not only the spirit but the letter
of this Constitution, most palpaby threaten to
use the powers delegated for the purpose of our
protection to destroy the rights and liberties they
were intended to protect, upon the great principle
of law and justice; therefore, that contract yio
lated by some of the parties dissolves all its obliga
hpth o,drn nOlif Ina1 30 nf,ttn
Be it therefore enactedby the Senate and House
of ofRepresentatives of the State of Georgia in Cen
eral Assembly met, That the Executive of this
State be requested to give notice to the several
States of this Union that have violated this Consti
tution in their legislative capacities States, that
the contract, to them, is at an end and, also, to
those States that have not violated this Constitu-
tion in their State capacities, that Georgia has re-
sumed her sovereignty and delegated powers, but |
will not consider the compact dissolved, as to them
but will most heartily co operate with them in de-
Tending and protecting the Constitution which our
fathers gave US, both in letter and in spirit. And
for the furtherance of this object therefore re-
commend the call of convention, without delay, |
of all those States that willing to abide by the
Constitution to assemble on the Sth day of Janua
ry next, at such place the several States shall
think most advisable, for the purpose of forming a
union; and, that the several States call conven.
tons of their people to ratiy their action in the
same manner and form that the present COnstitu-
tion ratified, in such other manner as
the people Of the several sovereign States shall
think proper.
Be il further enacted, That all Laws and parts of
Laws initiating against this Act, be, and the same
are, hereby repealed.

Henry J. Raymond, Of the New Y ork Times
publishes " editorial letter" in reply to VIM. l..
Yancey's views on the re-opening of the slave
trade The concluding paragraph of the letter
thus alludes to the present Southern excitement:
81 propose to say something of the DisuniOn
| Movement, now in progress, OF which l consider
| you, to greater degree than any other man now
| living, the author and the head. AS | desire to
| treat it somewhat fully,-more so than the limits
| left me in this communication will permit | shall
make 1t the subject of second letter; and in that
letter propose to show that the Re-opening of the
African Slave Trade is the practical object which
that movement is intended to accomplish that it
will be accomplished within the Union if the nation
concede the principle of the Equality of the States
in the sense in which you and those which you re-
present understand that principle and if you fail
in securing this concession you propose to estab-
| lish new Confederacy resting on the African
Slave Trade the bond of its Union, and the basis
| of its prosperity.
