The MlIedgevilis Georgia correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Eaguirsr writes;
Governor Brown, in a SPECIAL message to the
legislature, thinks but few States viii meet
the southern convention, and does not recon-
mend the appointment Of delegates from Geor-
gia. He thinks the constitutional rights OF
he peorls OF Georgia have been violated BY
several nou-slaVeholding States, to the extent
Of i1stvfving, in the judgment OF civilized na-
tons. the adoption Of any measures necessary
TO the fun protection Of their rights.
He referred to the patient spirit In TIE orr
gin OF our Government, and p~ortTaying the
series Of unconstitutional and unfrendlY acts
/ subsequently. He is p0intediy severe on Mas
| sschusetts law, and says Il The law Of massa-
| chusstts cause plumber from Georgia's eitl-
zsns, that State must be compelled 10 compen-
safe them.
he advises reprisals, and says: Let Us

Hs believed The legislation recommends

the ties OF the union Of the States. Il will de-
gtroy sectional controversy, and narrow doWI
the issue 20 a contest between individual
