NILLEDGEvILLE, November 8.
Gov. Brown, in his message, refers to
the patriotic spirit in the origin of our Gov
eminent, and portrays the series of uncon-
stitutional and unfriendly acts subsequent
~ passed. He is particularly severe on
Massachusetts, laws, and says if the laws of
Massachusetts can plumber from Georgia's
citizens, that State must be compelled to
compensate them. He advises reprisals,
and says, let US meet unjust aggression and
unconstitutional State legislation with just
relation. He recommends the enactment
of laws authorizing the seizure of such
amount of money or the property of any
citizen of such offending and faithless State,
for indemnifcation for the losses of citizens
of Georgia. The Governor entertains TO
doubt of the rights of each State to de-
eide to act for itself, so long as all the States
abide in good faith by the Constitutional
obligations. No State can withdraw from
The Union without being guilty OF bad acts
to others. Any violation of the compact
relieves all parties. The right Of secession
for cause was only denied by those who de-
ny the sovereignty of the States. The mes
sage fills twenty-five closely printed octave
pages, and contains full review of North
ern legislation. He concludes thus: "For
the purpose of putting the State in a defen
siVe condition as fast as possible, and pre-
pairing for the emergency which must be
met sooner or later, he recommends that
the sum of 81 ,000,0 be Immediately ap-
propriated as military fund for the enemy,
and prompt provision made for raising such
portion of the money as may not be in the
treasury as fast as the public expenditures
NAV require. Millions for defense, not
one cent for tribute, should be the future
motto of every Southern State, and to every
demand for further concession or compro-
mise of our rights, We should reply, the ar
gument is exhausted, and we now stand on
our own arms"

WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.
No apprehension exists in official quar-
tiers that any effoLts will be made to seize
the Forts or other public property in the
South as no such movement would be toll |
Grated by the authorities of the State In
which they are located. The questions
which now distract the people of that sec
ton being of great delicacy, nothing will be
done by executive authority which would
tend to exasperate the public mind against
the General Government at this juncture,
while, however, the President will perform
his duty of fully enforcing the laws. The |
Of the Federal officers at Charles
ton being contingent on their acceptance
by the President, time will be given them
to reconsider their action.
An erroneous report has prevailed that
the President intends issuing a proelama-
ton but it will be recollected that General
Jackson did not pursue such course I'M
til after South Carolina had passed the null
lifying act.
The Cabinet to-day held their first meet
ing since the Presidential election, but no
question in connection with Southern events
formal action.

a regret, is now recognized as an act of 10y |
al devotion to South Carolina.
