Mr.. ~ ERS0N-Tbe paper which has Just been read
informs the Senate, what has already been announcer
the pul,lc that the State OF Georgia, Dy sOleun
act of Sovereign Convention, has withdrawn from
the Federal Union. She s no longer one Of the United
States of America, but has resumed all the powers
granted by her to the Federal Government ana
asserted her indeuendence as a separate and sovereign
State in performing this important and solemn acI
she has been Influenced by the deliberate and r CON
yicion that her safety her interest," and her honor de-
msnded- it. The opinion of her people has been gran,
uay tending this point for the last ten years. aho
recent events have confirmed anu ma an s oves
delegates to Convention, and expressed IN
that election a determination 70 withdraw from the
Federal Union. And the Convention, oy IKE ae
c,ye majority has passed the Ordinance Of Secession
Georgia s one tx which, in less than sixty
DAYS have dissolved their connection with the Fedora
Union and declared their separate independence anC

ple powers for their defense, ard with power TO
enter into negotiations with other nations, 70 make
war; 10 conclude peace, 20 form treaties, and do all
other things which independent nations may OF night

of nther States TO the new Union, and II is
confidently believed that within few months, all the
Southern States Of lAte Confedercy will be formed
into Union far Homogeneous aud, therefore, far
more stable than the one broken up. have only
70 say that this action Of my own State and OF her
Southern neghbors and sisters meets the approval OF
nv well-eonsioered and deliberate judgment, and as
one Of her native and subjects, shall eheerf1ly
cast my lot 18th her and them. And, sink or SWIM
hive OF die. shall be of and with her and them TO the
last BY the secession of the Southern States and the
formation Of a. southern CoDfederaey, great and
momentous alternatives will devolve on the
keoeral Government. You may acqulesce IN
