thrown overheard it is be for them wait until the
shin is safe in port And it is with the State comros
the Confederacy. They must bde their time. They must
drive their enemies cut of tber BORDERS and vindicate
their independence against their utmolt rage. Having
accomplished this they will round their agents
of the Confederate Government and settle with them
on account Of their usurpadons There three vital
points on which it he's assumed questionable powers.
Let US enumerate them:
The Confederate Government has assumed the
power Of approprating money r,m he Treasury build
railroads. Toe ustfc 4tion is-mittdry necessity. If
It ia good then all branches OF Internal Improvement
which facilitate the trAnsplrasiou Of troops muhi-
tons of war are within the scope OF apprcrrat by
the Confederate Government. The Confederate Gov
eminent Is omnpotent over the whole subject.
3 Under the power given TO Congress ito raise aud
coascribe and put into the army of the Confederate
States all the State officials by hch the ate Govern
mens are carried on If Congress possesses this power
then il has the power OF abolshipg the S es. TIE
existence of the Coufedeacy requires hat this matter
shall be rightfully settled
g. Congress claims toe power Of laying directtaIes-
taxing lard and slaves. II this power TO continue to
exist without question in the Congress of the Con'ede
rate States il may abolish slavery by taxtion. This is
too vital matter to be left in doubt.
To consider these three points, it appears 10 u.s. a
CONVENTION of the States after the is over, should
be called Three States can summon the Convention.
The Constitution says "Upon the demaadOf any three
Estates legally assembled IN their several oonveutios
"the Congress shall summon Convention OF all the
Statep 70 take into consideration such amendments
the Constitution as the said States shall concur in sug
',Reatna At the time when said demand Is made"
We have thrown out these suggestions because We see
that the Governor Of Georgia has called the Legislature
OF Georgia toRehel We deprecate any action by the
States upon the Important matters we have Adyerted to
until the war IL over.
