MESSAGE OF GOVERNOR BROWN, OF GEORGIA.
MnLEDGEvILLE, Nov. S.--Governor Brown has
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 slaveholding States to the extent of JUS
tifying, in the Judgment of civilized nations the
adoption of any measures necessary for the restora
ton of and the future protection of their rights.
He refers to the patriotic spirit manifested in the
origin of our government and deplores the present
existing grievances. He portrays the series of I'M
constitutional and unfriendly acts and subsequent
ly is pointedly severe on Massachusetts, laws. He
says if the laws of Massachusetts, cause the plumber
of the property of the citizen of Georgia, the cti-
zens of Massachusetts must be compelled to com
pensate him. He advises reprials and ssvs:-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 or property of any citi-
zen of such offending and faithless State as an in
demnity 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.
lie next advises the passage of law taxing goods
and merchandise % per cent, introduced after the
LIST of January, manufactured in or BROUGHT from
Island, New York, Wisconsin, and other unfrieudly
States, the tax to be RENTED when unfriendly le-
gislation shall be repealed.
Should such legislation proposed prove inef-
tectua, 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 cit
2ens of States where such unfriendly laws exist.
After setting forth the various measures propos-
ed, the Governor says "ln my opinion the time
for bold decided action has arrived; and he is I'M
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
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 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 halot-bOX demand their enact
ment
The Governor says he entertains no doubt of the
right of each State to decide and act for herself so
long as all the States abide in good faith by their
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 cause
only denied by those who deny the sovereignty Of
the States
The message occupies twenty-five closely printed
octave pages, embracing full review of all often
sive Northern legislation. ltconcludes thus
For the purpose of putting the State in defen-
an emergency which must be met sooner or later,
recommend that the sum of million dollars be

ensuing year, and that prompt provision be made

ern States!
To every demand for a further concession or
compromise OF our rights, should reply The
argument is exhausted and we now stand on our
arms"
