Jn pursn-inco of previous notice, tlie citizens

unlay, liio 7th Jay of April, for the purpose of
loectving and ad'i iling the Iheamhle nm f ){,.

at a previous meeting.

The committee appointed to draw up a preamble
and resolutions rclulivo to the bite decision i,t
the Mu renn; Court of the suited States, in
the case of Samuel A, Woicester, would
respectfully
RUPDRT:
That the Occasion which has Called ns toan
th er, is one of no ordinary intcrcsl or occurrence
—This meeting has not been enlivened in eon
tend for pm ly rights, looking so, w aul to miibi
tions^views, personal aggrandizement, or polit
ical favor. The ijneslion for our consideration
isone, involving the ilemcst interests and most
s H-ied tights offrcemcii—an iiilorost, deep and
vital as our existcnen as a Union—the right of
self-government. Incoming to the consider,a
tmn of ibis momentous i|iio«tiori, wc should sum
mon to our aid all our energies. Let not dis
tempered passion or excited feeling dislu. h our
deliberations, and drive us into intemperate ex
cesses; hut let wisdom, moderation and firni
liess animate our counsels, and direct our mea
sures. The late decision of tin* Supremo Court
lenitive to the trial and imprisonment of Samuel
A. V\ orconfor, tor a violation of, mid under the
laws of the Stale of Georgia, strikes at tlie very
root o( the tree ofl.ihei l_v: and while we should
m all cases within the legitimate sphere of its jn
i isdielion, pay respeet to its decisions, and oli, y
its mandates, yet when that Conn so far forgets
the rights of the Slates, as to trample them ’on
dor foot, and attempts to deprive them of the
I ower of making ,aw i for their own govern
incut, il is illn right, it is the duly of the people
to resist all such attempts, and to throw' them’
nelvcs before the Slate to ; rolect and doti-rid Us
sovereignty. In this most important and res on
Hide situation, vvo ate now placed—ln this most
awful erisis h ive vv« now arrived.—There is no
mobile course,—We must either obey the man
dale of the Court, and submit to lie slaws, or
" " m,lsl refuse obedience and resolve In de-
Icnd to tlie last extremity, and at the most im i
minonl lia/.aiil, our determination to he fice. ,
Nor are we alnon concerned in the decision of i
this most important i|ncstion. Tons, our fullers ,

I>y Iho war of the Revolution, wlm h was seal- "

legal research and ingenuity on tlie Supreme
Conn only, can ruooneile and explain, and
which is entirely above the comprehension of
common minds, ,
Nor has ihe Supreme Court been more fortn- 1
mile in its attempts lo bring so waul, in behalf '
ot the United Stales, a claim lei jurisdiction over
this distinct and independent people. To put
this question completely at rest, tmi to settle all '
difficulties on a subject which, atone time th.ea- 1
teueil to shake the American confederacy to its <
foundation, a compromise was made which is 1
not now to ho disturbed, \ and at the treaty of 1

our committee would therefore recommend
the adoption of the following resolution*
Ist. Reso’rtd, That the Province of Georgia
extending from the Savannah to tho Mississipj i
River, was vested in full and absolute sovereign
ty in the King of Gicat Britain.
2d. Resolced, That by the war of the Revo
lution and tho treaty of 1783, the State of Geor
gia acquired all the rights of sovereignty, soil
and Jmisdietion which were befoie vested in the
King of Great Britain.
2d. Resulted, That Georgia entered into the
Union as a free, sovereign and independent
State, and by the Constitution, reserved to her- [
self and to the people resonetively, all the [ow
es not delegated to the United Slates, or pro
tnhited to the Stales.
4th. licsoh ed, That she has never parted with
the right, of self government, and of legislating
over the to 1 ritory and the inhabitants of tho same
w illiin her limits.
hlh. Resolved, That the State of Georgia has
the right of sovereignly and jo isrtmtion over that
part ot the Che okee country within tier limits,
and this right has been expressly recognized by
the United Stales,
Oih. Resolced, That whenever the Supreme
Court in the exorcise of pretended powers shall
transcend the limits imposed hy the constitution
and violate the rights of this .Stale—it is the right
and it is the doty of the Slate and of the people
[ to refuse obedience to its mandates and to main
tain those rights.
71 h. Resnlnd, That the Supremo Court, in
adjudicating the case of Samuel A. Worcester,
has wholly disregarded Us previous decisions,
and tho treaty of cession of ISO 2 between Geor
gia and the United Slates transcended the limits
imposed by the constitution, and has impugned
and violated the sovereignty of the State of

A numerous meeting was held in Clmton on

Solutions W ("0 ailoptial
\\ herc is. at a I te silling of the
I ou.t in the City of Washington, it, the case of
Worcester against the State of Georgia, a most
extraordinary and extrajudicial decision has been
made; denying tho ;igbi to Georgia to enact i.tul
execute law s for the protection of her citizens
within her limits.
And whereas, said decision, if carried into ef
lect, Would he subversive ofotdoi—destructive
lo the peace and wellbeing of our citizens—vi
illative of the provisions of the constitution of
the Slate, and not warranted by any just ex
position of tlie Constitution of the United Stales,
depriving the State ofan essential i ortion of her
sovereignly, tending manifestly to a consolida
ted government, thciehy destroying the harmo
ny, and biinging imojeopardy the perpetuity of
the Union—-moreover would present tlie strange
anomaly ol two governments exercising author
ity within the same territory, or more properly
speaking, would amiihilale'the government of
Georgia, m part ot be territmy, and substitute
dial of Now I’chota in its stead.'
To ere foie Rescind, Ist. That as citizens of
Go*, gia, and as freemen, wo do most solemnly
I'M st against such orbiteary, assumed, and to
»a\ the least, impertinent mle' feranee on the
part of the fedeial judiciary, towa.ds Georgia,
in the consliimional exercise of rights [teacea;
blv enjoyed by oilier members of this Union.
Resol red, 2nd. That under every trial, (and
Geoigiu has had her share,) whether of pros
pe-ity or adversity, of feelings outraged—the
most sacred lights disregarded, of public func
tionaries insulted, the honor and character of the
Stale coutcmoed and ridiculed, we have chcr-
I idled an abiding attachment for the Union of
the Stales and the Sovereignly of the Slates.—
1 Hut that in the opinion of this meeting, a crisis
lias now arrived, when every consideration of
1 public duty, and every right hold dear by fee
-1 men, demand the most determined resistance
against this odious usurpation, its aiders and
abettors.
Hcsolrcd, That our fellow citizens throngh
j 'lie Slate, are hereby respectfully invited to
hold meetings to give assurance to his Excellen
cy the Governor, that he will ho supported by
the people of this Stale, if future circumstances
should make it painfully necessary, in resisting
the execution ol any mandate or order, that
may he attempted to be enforced, coming fiom
the Supreme Coart, for the release of the Mis
sionaries, npw in the Penitentiary, or in viola-'
