Messrs. barbecue was given
at on the 15th by the
Southern Rights party, at which free discus*
sion was invited. Messrs. Thomas and Irvin
appeared for the Uaiun, and Messrs. McMil
!an and Gartroil for the Southern Rights
party. An ample pinner waa provided, and
unusual silence and goad order observed
during the day. <
Mr. Thomas, of Jgjbert, led off in a speech
of two hours. It Was full and able. Dealing
in argument and being full of
point and master of the subject, he
made a most effective speech. In the course
of it he brought Mesirs. M. and G to logger
neads. Ha inquire#Jf Mt G. did not con ]
sider Gov. McDonald Von th3 Georgia plat
form.” Mr. G. with wonderful discrimint
lion, denied that Gov. McDonald was on the
Georgia platform, but said he “stood b/and
maintained it.” Mr. McMillan hid said at
Lincointon, of ibis ver)’ platform* that it was
•built on a rotten foundation.” Wha: deligh*
ful unity of sentiment I The position of Mr.
Gartrell in relation to the Southern Rights
platform, was as follows :
The Preamble he did not concur with.
He stood by and defended all the Resolutions-
Mr-McM. stood by the platform, Preamble,
Resolutions and all. So the two were not
together. Gov. McDonald, by the reprasen-
-
form~which p'.atfohn by the representations
of Mr. McM., was built on a rotten founda
tion. Here again they were not together.
The three men had three platforms. This is
not a fancy sketch of tie possible contradic
tions and absur I ties in which men might in
volve themselves. It is a plain statement of
the facts. Air Thomas told the gentlemen
they bad better Zpws stepped aside and consul
ted. before appearing on the pla form.
Os Mr. G., we shall have little to say. He
should write a short origins 1 treatise on pre
ambles and the art of quibbling. “Gartrell
ou Preambles’’ wou’d bo an invaluable work
to the Southern Rights party in general, and
many members of the late Legislature in par
ticular. The Preamble to the Southern Rights
Resolutions he did not consider any pa t of the
platform. Still he thought proper to defend
it, by insisting that the Union pa*ty quibbled
(ihinkof that!) about words in saying that
• degraded from their conuition of equality”
meant more than “deprived of their equality
lie spoke of lexicographers, but seemed
satisfied, without quoting their authority, that
the words Degradation and Deprivation were
one and the same thing.
I. T. Irvin, Jr., next occupied the stand for
an hoar. He pointed out the inconsistencies
in the course of his opponent (Mr. G ) with
ereat clearness—stated the position of the
Democratic party in relation to non interven
lion, and dwelt with force (a manly indigni
lion giving much warmth to his manuer) on
he inconsistency between the wrongs set
forth in the Southern Rights platform, and
their total silence as to a remedy He ad
vanced weighty argumen s to prove the South
ern Rights party and their candidate, Gov.
McDonald inclined to Disunion. Mr. irviu
•s a very handsome speaker, and capable of
the most wi-henng sarcasm
Mr. McMillin, the Southern Rights caudi
dHe for Congress in the Bth Congressional
District, had the privilege of closing in a
speech of nearly two hours. His opening
gave the promise of a speech veiy different
from the performance. He is a gentleman of
ireat shrewdness, and of much genuine Irish
wit, or perhaps buffoonery may express it
seller, ano kepi the audience m good humor
during i ost of b : s speech. His ignorance of
many of the most ordinary pouucal facts,
nowever, wan amazing. Thia fact, and his
own conscio sneas of it. renders him very
averse to having his remarks reported, and he
made a desperate effort to escape it. He
came out with great vehemence against those
anonymous aenbbiers ’ who write repor s of
political meeuugs. Not being much in th©
way of doing such things, Mac.’a aisplay of
hunsdf was too tempting for our prudence,
and we were forct-d <o take notes as he ad
vanced, for the purpose of printing him
maugre the mauling to whioh it will subject
our nnonvmous head All 'hat we shall do,
wi'l be to lake pains to leave no point un
guarded by the truth.
We were greatly disappointed in his speech.
Frtquendy looking at hi» watch, and speaking
of wutti of u<n» — it Y*a« paiisfu.’ly evident
that he was speaking against time, and only
looking to see how much of it was left for hitu
o speak against. This is no exaggeraiion
li was a long, long space of precious time
oefore he approached a single point. At
ength, however, he ventured to engage in
he attempt to show that the free sobers and
Union men were acting together. Mr. Th >m
ts asked whether their votes would be evt
ience, and begged Mr. McM to slate who
* ted for the Utah and the New Mexico bills.
Via:, r'pJed Ltiat “Ac did not know, b it that
f 'he did know hs would tell” Mr. T. in
ormed nim that the free soilera voted against
hem, aud tbai the Southern Senators, with
in exception, v<»ted for the New M.xico
;i.l and iii’»i of them for the Utah bill.”
Air McM. seeme! surprised, and stated
hat the state of things was worse than he
nought, an I hat this fact (of which he was
profoundly ignorant before) rendered the
Union of the South still more dea r hie. Mr.
B. added ibrt Senator Berrien voted for them
noth—“worse and worse” was the reply, but,
co tinned Mac-,* 1 don’t care who voied for
iiem”—and proceeded to another branch of
r.is ■ not argument.
lgnorar.ee, so lamentable, was scarcely to
have been expected in the worst tyro who
reads a weekly piper But worse and more
iud.crou instances of it were developed in
'he course of bis long and rambling remarks.
In one part of his speech, he stated that his mo
lives mu* have been pure in choosing sides—
as he had chosen the sma ler side—and inti
mated 'h it he made no ca'culations to be elect
ed. We presume ‘hat, and his not expecting to
go to Congress, was th« reason why he thought
t unnecessa-y to acquaint himself with the
political history of the ons H>s utter
and conscious bi n iuess wm really dnsgreea
ble to an opponent of common aympa hy.
We trust that before again appearing in public
he will discon inno the -»tndy of jest books, and
devote some little attention to the cons itution
of the United Stales, and the political history
cf tiie country
'Che next “point” reached in his d-set’rsive
talk (for pc inis were few, while jokes were so
numerous that hia Union friends soon saw tha
his running for Congress at all was all ‘a
jjke.”) was as to tha power of Congress to
'egisla ein the Territories. Mr. M. r:ferred
to that often exploded construction of the clause
relating to the disposit on of Territory, and
other properly of the United Bta»es, which
claimed this clause as a grant of Legislative
power Charmingly ignorant that it had ever
been exploded! He was as easily frightened,
however as a c’nld in the dark, (in which he
evidently was as toa'l these facta ) an j on an in
timation from Mr. T.—iba* he had got hold of
me wrong construction—and that Thomas
would take issue upon it—Air. M. refused to
join issue, and abandoned thij for another,
and similar blind sally
The next point reached by Air. McM , was
really handled so ludicrously, and ths bluo
dess made upon it were eo intolerably and in
tensely Absurd, that we can scarcely persuade
eurselves to wri e down the facts, for fear of
exciting incredulity Our readers mny de
pend up in it, however, that the facts are true
ns stated. Mr. McM. was treating of the
co?tsof recovering a fugitive alive Mr. T.
begged him to tell what the legal costs were—
or else state I what they were. They were
10 dollars if the alive was recovered—s if he
was lust. Air. McM. mis understanding Mr.
T’s, explanation fe I into a most grievous and
ridiculous error. He actually thought the
13 do Bars referred to by Mr. Thomas were
given by the Genera! Government to the slave
owner, in Home way or for wine lea-on, best
known to Mac. himself, in cas the slave was
ms , an i we-beginning to make of the
utter inadequacy of the compensation; when
Mr Thoma* mercifully interrupted him. and
expla ned ( ' ith eTeat care and precision) that
(be 10 dol'ars referred to were given by the
owner as the egai costs, and that all the other
expenses of the n wner were his attorneys and
witnesses fees—the government paying other
cos s.
The luiicrous figure friend Mac. would cut
in Congress may be imagined, perhaps—not
described. His ignorance is not wonderfu !
on |,- jt is pl iable. Hrs very quickness of
apprehension serves but to n ake it the more
glaring, as be catch -a at an idea and usesit,
be’ore bis opponent can have developed it
suffi iently to give him correct information.
Toe only point with any sutw’ance behind
it made by' Mac., was in relation to the Dem
ocratic resolutions of 1849, respecting the
slave trade in the Districto! Colombia. Messrs.
Ton mas and Irvin had aoiicijaied the charge
and given their reasons in reply to it. The
pmnt was labored by Mr Grrtrell—but it was
Mac’s, mare’s neat and exclusive property
What information of this sort he picks up by
accident, he uses very dexterously. He
harped for a considerable time upon the
inconsistency of Messrs. T. and I. in no
backing the resolution then passed. He
said it committed them to fight. Thoma
had shown in his opening soeecb that Mac
could nor hit them (T. and I) without sink
ing himself an equal blow. He had been
Mac's- delegate —Mac. wee on the Com
mit: e that senth im to Milledgeville He
however irqured distinctly of Mas wnet-er
he backed tr.e Resni’tt'on. Mac , very inn>
centiv teplied ’hat redd fnomas then in
quired " »re yen for fighting t
' Mac. was non ptassed—posed—evidently, if it
Committed Tbomaeand Irvin, it committed b m
too A happy thought at length struck him
and he replied, "I am not going to be catechised,
yoa have hod your speech.” Some one called
I out for Mac to "answer the question” -“an
i ewer the question ” But Mac didn’t answer it
j He was fur from it. There was one point
which it was very much f-.ared by the crowd,
Mat?, in the mill ilude of his promises as to
what he intended to do, would forger, and that
was ‘the remedy.” This aubject
has peculiar difficulties to all Elates Rights
men, as scarcely any two solve the difficulty
alike. What Mac’s remedy would be, bicarne
a matter of great curios ty. At length, much
to our astonishment, he actually tjld us he
would tell what remedy he proposed. And
what would. Mr. Editor, you suppose it 'o be ?
A life time spent in conjecture would scarcely
suspect it. The remedy of our grievous
wrongs—the wrongs of the South—the remedy
Mac proposed was neither more nor less than
“That the people should tarn out their present
representatives and put in new ones.” Ingen
uous, un«uspeciing Mac ! How little did the
idea cross his mind, that the advice might seem
! better suited o his own peculiar case, than
j tne wants of the cuu»-iry.
I This was remedy No 1. No. lin the or
der of the stateme t. and no doubt No 1 in
Mac ’s opinion of its efficacy and its adapta
tion to his own circumstances as a candidate,
(otherwise hopeless of elec ion.) But there
was a second remedy—dis in<4 protection by
Congress of slavery in the territories ; mother
words, the repeal of those Mtxican laws Mac
has so long contended and labored t / piov ■
were dead and gme This i« the McMiUan,
aadistinguished Irom the State Rights, platform.
Th© State Rigb s party made no such issue
Thomas (who defected the flaws in every
argument and every misstatement of fact,
with unerring certainty) had anticipated this
and said he knew his brother Mac would pro
claim himself in favor of repeal, but that was
not the point. The true point was, what be
proposed <o do in case Congress refused to
repeal. He reminded Mr Mac. that Congress
had already r&foaed. repeal. m» r ry southern
men voting against it. Upon the course proper
to b© pursued in case of failure to effect repeal,
Mac was mum. He wisely held his peace.
With the exception of some of ’he newspa
per argn nent-, a hundred times refuted
against Messrs. To imbsand Stephens, (whose
opinions are en ided io so much more respect
than t! eir own, in :he view of many Southern
Righ’s men, that the General Government
ought to b? overthrown for not cons to
he opinion of the former and disregarding
theirs,) w© believe every one of Mac’s points
have been noticed. He ro«e in his conclusion
from the ridiculous to the sublime, and left his
hearers much amused, first with hie anecdotes
and 2nd, and in a higher degree, with himself,
and with the profound conviction on the pari
of such as happened to know anything of ihe
questions, that ne was a very a cus.ng fellow,
with much humor and g od nature, and pro
foundly ignorant of the facts of the late settle
ruent, and of ’he elementary principles of
cons*itutional law.
With a short explanation by Mr. Barksda'e
of a misrepresenution of his position at Io
dependence a few weeks since, the show w»s
closed. Mr. B explained that ho did not con
.aider the fugitive slave law i,
yet he would vote to expunge it, were he in
Congress. Why he should have taken puns
to explain away the one absurdity, and leave
the other acknowledged. >s a matter lor his
own consideration. O*eofths Amused.
For ths Chronicle Sentinel
“If South Carolina res >r»s to Secession and
seperates herself from the Federal Government,
she will be a foreign Government to all intents
and pu r poses. She will be subject to all the
policy adopted by our Government in relation
to foreign Governments.” —[ Extract from the
letterot Charles J. McDonald to the Southern
Confederacy meeting of Charleston.]
1 have shown in my former articles, that the
true issue in Georgia is, whether the Union
should be Dissolved on account of the past ac
tion of the General Government relative to the
slavery question. I think I have also satisfac
torily proven, that the adjustment measures
recognized and affirmed the policy upon wh.ch
Mr. Calhoun and his friends said the South
could s and and “ ever be a respectable portion
of the com n unity.” Admitting the sincerity of
the profession of those wh > oppose the Consti
tututional Union party, that they are for the
Union, taken in connexion with the oft-repeated
declaration, that enormous injustice has been
perpetra.ed aainst the South and every South
ern State .egraded, I have demonstrated that
they are unfit and unworthy to be tho custodi
ans of States honor or rights. I come now to
tear the silver veil from the political prophet
Aho seeks your destruction, and expose him in
all his nakedness and deformity, and like the
veiled prophet of Khorassan when he stood
forth before the sworn bride, ask you, people of
Georgia, in his language :
‘ Here, judge if Hell with all its power to
damn,
Can add one curse to the foul thing I am.”
The Southern Rights party with Governor
McDonald at their hold, admitted that the
rights of the South htve been disregared and
the southern States reduced to inferiority in
the confederacy, and yet hold that the people
should submit. They also ass-ct to believe that
it is a fixed purpose on the part of .he North
ern States to abolish the institution of slavery
in the States. The.* also declare their devotion
to the Union, and expiess the desire that the
North wi I in the future cease its assaults upon
our rights administer the constitution faithfully,
and let us remain as we are, a united pcop'e. Let
us ‘or the sake of the argument suppose that
these dec'arations cirry with them the impress
of sincerity, 1 appeal to the people ol Georgia to
know il their policy is calculated to tdi'ect any
change in the public mind North, or impose any
restriction up »n the aggressions of which they
complain. II they are honest in their declara
tions of fidelity to the Union and de.-ire a-ove
all things to see it preserved in its purity, will
i . cause the majority to cease one jot ur one
tittle in carrying om th ir fix- dpurp >ee, by yie'd
inz to their exaction, a d submitting to the deg
ridation they have imposed. Suppose there
should go up from the ' >uth to the North a
united ditciiraiioo in rhea wo ds : ‘•Brethren
of t .c North, youhav.- treated us with injustice,
you have disregarded our rights, you have
bribed our young sister and se luced her from the
path of virtus, you have taken from us our equal
ity ami degraded us to .m inferiority never con
templated by the Consitution, but yet to all
this we are wil.ing to submit.” Now, I ask, and
ask triumphantly, if this policy will hive any in
fluence upon a people resolved to go one step
farther and abolish the institution of slavery in the
States ? Will it in the least counteract any of the
evils that have been growing at the North in
connexion With th ir opposition to Southern
institutions. Contrast tins policy, with the one
proposed by the C institution-*! Union party oi
Georgia and dcc.de, according to reason and
c«minion st.use, wmeh will, in the end, most
ellectualiy secure our rights and preserve the
Union What is the language of the Constitu
tionalUnion party to the North? We have, say
they, settled this slavery question upon a basis
on which we will “ ever be res ected in the
community” of which we form a part—the
agnation of it has been to us a source ot deep
anxiety, and we have been well nuh alienated
from you and our common country by the ceas
less discussion it has engendered. We are now'
however where we can stand : the settlement we
t ave made we will abide by, in all its parts, and
we expect and we demand ol you the same obe
dience. The laws, upon which thia adjust
ment is made, must be executed in good faiih ;
if they are not, you may rest assured that we
»hali part from you, and part we hope in peace.”
If the public mind at the North is to be reached
by any policy, short of disruption or revolution,
will not this of the Constitutional Union party
prove more effectual, than the opposite one ad
vocated by the Southern Rights Part) ? Fellow
citizens, diven yours* Ives of every thing like
passion, and come to the consideration of these
subjects, with calmness, with firmness and with
reason for your guide.
As I said in a former number, if your rights
have been infringed and you nave been degraded
by the Government that waa bound co protect
you, the blood of your ancestors ‘ cries to you
from the ground, my sons scorn io ne slave-.”
You owe it to your children to strike for inde
pendence and strike now, though every stream
that tertilizes youi soil should be crimsoned with
blood, if me inheritance bequeat .ed to you has
been invaded. But if on the other hand, these
things have not been, the obligatory ties of the
past, the present and the future, demand of you
to suatain the government ot y.»ur fa hers and
to pul down tae madness or the folly, or both,
that would land you in civil war arid tevoiution.
It therefore does seem to me. that ihepon y as
proposed by ths Southern party can be of
no earthly benefit to the Suutn for the evils of
wnich they complain To suotnit to the oppres
sions of the pist will not r 1 eve us from the bur
thens ot the present, nor will it secure us agdnst
the exactions of the future. I hen, the question
arises, if they propose no remedy, still cling to
the Government that oppresses them, and
makes no effort and has no hope that the
oppressor’s han 1 bhali be stayed, are they
the persons with whom you are willing to
entrust honor, your right?,and in fact every
thing you hold dear ? li 1 was disposed to hold
up the Raders of th; Southern Rights party, to
tne scorn ard contempt of every ight-thinking
man in Georgia, I would insist that they were
sincere in the positions they have assumed, and
thereby evince their utter destitution of the es
sential element ot every revolution. But charity
compels me to believe that they are at heart for a
dissolurien of the Union, and their neglect to
avow L, force* upon me the conclusion, as it will
upon every one, that the r want of confidence in
so declaring is the best evidence of their infi
delity to the truth.
Feeling the insecurity of their position, and
smarting’ under the rehuke which they met
in the election of delegates to the convention
that placed Georgia upon the proudest pinnacle
she ever occupied, they have attempted to mis
lead the people from the tru.'issue and substitute
another The right of a State to secede from
the Union is now’the burthen of their song; and
suppose we admit a State has the right to secede
from the Union, does thatentitle Charles J. Me
Donild to the confidence of a people for whom
he is not willing to raise one finger to relieve
from degradation? But let us examine this
question a little, and see toe position that Mr.
McDonald now occupies before thecountry, ta
king his own recorded declarations as true expo
nents of his principles. Bear in mind, people
of Georgia, his declarations of attach nent to this
Union and hi, desire to see it perpetrated. In
ms late letter,addressed to the Charleston com
mittee, he holds the doctrine that if the State cf
South Carolina secedes she is to all Intents and
purposes a foreign power, and she will be subject
to all the policy ad pted by our Government ia
relation to foreign Governments. In the next
sentence he holds out the encouragemen' to h r
to secede, by aeciaring that if his Government,
the United States, o: which Georgia is the
Uni »n to which he is attached, an > t;:e C n=t;tu
tion which he wid sweirto support and detend
it he :s cieev dilrv rn .r, eh n:f come in collis
ion wi'h South Carolina, it w.l: igtit up a b aze
of civil war, winch could never be extinguished,
but in the life’s blood of the lovers of Constitu*
tional liberty. In the fi'st place, how could that be
i a civil war in a confl.ct between two foreign pow-
I ers? for if South Carolina secedes, to all intents
and purposes she is a foreign power,and the policy
of this government towards her will be the same
asltfo towards al) Governments. Besides, if
South Carolina should become a foreign power
by secedinsr, where is theobligutioi for Mr. Mc-
Donald and his associates to take part with her
in a conflict with bis own Government, which he
pretends to venerate 7 Will it be upon the plea
of weakness? If so, he ought to have taken
part with Mexico in our late conflict of arms
Suppose South Carolina had never belonged to
this Union, an ? a conflict between her and the
General Government should grow out of the
policy we adopt towards other foreign Govern
ments—would Mr. McDonald and his friends
take her part and fight against his own Govern
inent ? The question is not dlTinged by »he fact
that she was once an integral part ufthe general
Government, for according to thodoeir; c of Mr.
McDonald, as soon as she secedes she is to all
intents and purposes a foreign power. Again,
suppose South Carolina is out of the Union,
and thereby necessarily a foreign powei, will we
permit her to enter into any alliance with any
other foreign power by which our policy in re
gard to foreign powers is thwarted or our interests
jeoparded? Self protection says not; and he
who takes part against his own government in
such a conflict is a tra ior, and if ever caught,
wil receive a traitor’s doom. If then we win’not
permit South Carolina to form an alliance with a
foreign power to affect our rights or interest in
any way, will we permit her of her own accord,
indepr dent of such alliance, to do that very
thing, she being a foreign power? I presume
not, and the man who gives “aid and comfort”
to the enemies of the United States in a con
flict with a foreign power, will find the punish
ment due to those who desert the flag of their
country. Ido not know that the general Gov
ernment will desire to force South Carolina to
remain in the Union, unless from motives oi
humanity, believing, that as she has proved
terself wayward and unruly, under all the re
straints of a kind parent and the advice of affec
tionate sisters, she might be unable to contend
against the allurements of a deceitful world,
single handed and alone. She will however not
he permitted to interfe’e with the policy of the
Federal Government, by any act of her own or
alliance with another. As the opponents of the
Constitutional Union party desire to rest this
controversy upon an issue dependent upon a con
tingency, it would be we'l to know their views
upon another question that may arise. If South
Carolina should secede from the Union, will they
be willing to see her fail into the handc of a for
eign power ? If she secedes, and is to all intents
and purposes a foreign nation, she wi I have the
unquestionable rignt to form an alliance with
any other Government. Will the Federal Gov
ernment permit her to exercise such a right?
Will the people of Georgia rest contented under
he fact, that South Carolina is a colony of Great
Britain, a government which has abolished sla
very in C7 ry colony that belongs to her ? It is
only necessary to ask these questions to show
the momentous consequences involved in per
mitting a ioreign power to hold territory so con
'igiious to us. It was only a few years since
that the “manifest destiny” of this Republic
was to occupy all the territory of the continent,
and to keep out all foreign powers ; now those
hat were most vociferous for this d ictrine, are
willing to give up one of the States to the ra
pacity of the British lion or any other potentate
that may choose to occupy hei. People of Geor
gia, you should consider these questions in all
their length and depth and thickness —they in
volve consequences pregnant with everything
but safety. Let not passion govern you upon so
important an occasion—but let reason be your
guide. Distrust any man or set of men who
have mt the courage to propose a remedy for
the grievances of which they complain. Turn
over the questions in this controversy in any
and every shape—expose them to any and every
tight and the standard bearer of the Southern
Right Rights party, Charles J. McDonald, occu
pies a position before the people of Georgia de
grading and disgracetul to a true statesman. If
he believes that his State has been oppressed
aud degraded, and is willing as he says to submit
to the oppression and degradation, to be worthy
to be her Governor he should Le made of “stern
er stuff.” If he is at heart a disunionist and all
his professions of attachment to his government
are intended to deceive, his ambition to be your
ruler, should be coupled with sterner virtue.
Ard if in a coilision between his Government
and a foreign power, h * would take side with the
latter, he is deficient in that &tern patriotism that
distinguishes rhe hero from the traitor. It is not
pleasant to dwell upon his defects; but Mercy,
in a contest involving the liberties and hippuiess
of a free people, must yield to the demands of
Justice.
To till State Rights Men of Georgia*
That I may do Mr. McDonald and hie party
no injustice in the new doctrines which they
are attempting to establish, I will copy the
resolution of their Convention. It is as fol
lows :
“ Resch ed, That each State in view of the volun
tary nature of the Union, has the right in virtue of
its sovereignly and independence, of seceding from
the Union whenever the people thereof, in their
sovereign capacity shall determine such a e'ep ne
cessary toefficl their safety and h-ipp-'ness ; and of
consequence that the General Government has no
authority to a'tempt by military force or otherwise,
to res rain a State in the exercise of such sovereign
act.”
Here ie their faith* written out by them
selves. Il asserts two propositions, fir it, that
a State may secede from the Union at any time,
under any circ wnstances. and without any
cau e, and secondly, that she cannot bn pre
vented or restrained from tho act by the Gen?
ral Government, wnich is but the agent of the
States, in no way whatever. It matter* not
what injury or ruin be'alls the other Stales by
that ac», still the State cannot be restrained
from the act, and sue is answerable to no one
for what she does. We wili ilinst*a e the
principle by a case. Massachusetts has en
joyed the s of the Union for seventy
years; fo* twenty five years she has had the
benefit!* of a protective Tariff, paid by the
South, and by which her manufacturers have
gro <n immensely wealthy. The government
tiis built large fac’orie* lor guns, and erected
Navy Yard.* and Docks for the building of
Ships wuhm her limits. Through these bene*
li s derived from the Government, she has be
come the wealthiest State in the Union.
Now, the Negroes of Georgia citizens escape
into her border*, and when we seek to ge’
them, Ma*sach.i<ettH secedes from the Union •
Georgia has complied wth the Constitution
in every respect —sho has submitted to a
protec ive Tariff and paid the dunes in good
faith—but now when she asks the Government
to give her in turn the benefits of the Union ;
■Msfsachtis?tts says no, you may have the bur
dens, but not the benefits of the Union. 1
will secede, and you cannot prevent me in any
way ! This is the doc’rine of State Rights
which Mr. McDonald and his party support.
This doctrine was in ended by Mr. McDon
ald and his party to be areapons? to the fol
lowing resolution of t*e Disunion Conven
tion assetnb'ed at Charleston :
“ Reached, That the right of recession is ooe of
thesoveicign rights of die States composing the
confederacy o' States as the United States
of America, to be exercised by any btaie at its
discretion* 1
The Sta'e Rights men deny this doctrine and de
ciare according t.. the Virginia and Kentucky reso
lutions, that there must be a palpable
and dangerous 11 v’clati n of the Constitution be
fore she can recede, and that she is responsible to
her sister States, for her acta and their effect! ; and
iliac they have as much right to judge whether they
hare violated the Constitution* as Fhe has ; and they
have an equal right «o j'i ige and act as well as she
Here are the retolulions :
“ That in ease of a palpable, deliberate and
dangerous exeic seof other powers not gra ited by
the eaid compact, the States who are parties thereto,
have the right, and are in duty bouad to interpose
for arresting the progress of the evil end for w ain
i taining within their res, ective limitsthe authorities,
riguts and libertua appertaining tu them.”
Andarain:
“ Thii Government created by the compact, was
not ma 'e the exclusive and final judge of thi ex ent
rs the p'wers delegated to itself, since tba' would
have made its diecreti-n and not the C msfiiutioo,
the measure of its powers ; but that as in all other
cases of compact among parties having no common
judge, each FARTV ba«* an equal right to judge for
itself, as well of infractions as the mo.'e and measure
of redress.”
This is the doctrine cf Thomas Jeffirson. The
latter resolution was penned by him—tho first, by
Mr. Madison, and constitute the faith and principles
of every republican throughout tho Union.
Here then is the difference between the McDon
ald doctrine and the repub ican doctrine. McDon
al 1 says that a State may secede without any cause
that she may judge and all the other States must
submit to her judgment—that she cannot be prev n
<ed from socesei in in any way, and tha* she is res;-
ponri: le to io one for the act, however she may in
j arc them.
The republican doc’rine is. that a State can only
secede when the Constituti n has t een deliberately
and dangerously »i 1 ted, because viotalioni may
sometimes occur unintentional, end cf uo moment,
and t eeaus-e a >tate cann -t take tae benefi e of tho
Union ; and when she isabiut io encounter any of i s
h trdsbipa, sece le io avoid them. She must taKe the
food and b d together, and when she dnes secede,
others besides hcr.-elr, have an equal right along wi.h
her to j idse of thrt violatiin; and if she j idges
wrongfully, then s he is responsible to whoever th
- injure by the act. This is the doctrine cf
State rights naw, of ccmmon sense, of common
justice an 1 of c mmoa right.
Ihe doctrines of Mr. McDona.d originated in
South Carolina, were broached for lhe purpose of
accomplish nj :«un»on alone, and h .ve never been
sustained tn Georgia until no* and ate supported
n-w alone by those who sck todes’roy the Govern
ment. The Jeffersonian doctrine’ were advocated
by Chas. Penion, C. B. Strong, Judge Sayre,
Judges Longstreet and Clayton, Wm. H. Craw ord,
Seaborn Jones, Rich’d. W 'Habersham, A. H. Chap

“ The States, in v'rtue of their sovereignty, when
evils are no longer supportable, must judge the evil
an 1 th ? remedy.”
The sovereign knows but two modes of settling
controversies—“ Negotiation and War.”
“ Aa States tray do very imprudently and unwise
ly what they have a right to do, it becomes them io
act very deliberately and cautiously, because it is
lawful for other States to unite against them, to
compel a fufitment of their obligations under the
public law' 1
Here Gov. Troap takes issue with and eontradicts
Mr. McDonald, and says that there “ must be evi s
no longer supportable?' before a State ean secede,
and th n she does it at her own hazard, for it is
"•lawful for other States to combine to compel a
fulfilment of her obligations?' under the constita
lion.
In another letter, written by Gov Troup in 1933
he coosiders the question more fully, and purs to
flight every position of Mr McDonald. Ha affirms
that a State cati accede only for juslifiab'e causes.
One State can not judge fur the others—nor bind
them by her judgment—the Unioa is a con.raet; it
can only-be violated under the sanction of the law of
eternal justice; and when disruptured by secession,
the party seceding does it at the hazard of accounta
bility.
He rays ; f< Admitting that a State may at any time
destroy its own Constitution) can a State at its own
pleasure destroy the Constitution of the United
States? The answer is, No. Because other States,
equally sovereign as itself, are equal parties to it.
But, although a Stite miy not for this reason alter or
destroy the < Constitution, it may throw it off; it may
forjus ifiable causes cease to be a party to it. Arc
there no such good and justifiable causes ? Yes
there are such as will justify the breach of a compact
between sovere gns, by one of the parties to t! at
compact, many of which causes are to be found in
that public law, which is the Divine law, which is
the law of risht an 1 justice, and wh'ch being the
paramount law, is as controlling over compacts and
constitutions, as the sovereign itsel’.” Gov Troup
u(«ets Mr. McDonald’s docti ine here again, by say
ing that there must be justifiable causes for dissolving
the Union.
Again he says: “But is it competent for one State
to judge of the violation of the charter ? Yes, but it
judges for itself alone—every other State by virtue
us the same sovereignty has the same right.” After
speaking of the Union involving rights and oblfoa
tions —that it can only be violated by communities
under t :e sanct on of tbe law of eternal lustice, he
says: “ Hut with regard to the rig is of other parties
what can they do? As sovereigns they can de
ma .dsatisfaction; ihey can go to war; they can
annihilate tbe party resisting; they may saiisf;
vengeance, but they cann t compel the party to aend
member e to Congress or electors of President loan
electoral C dfog). The Constitution of the United
States au horiz‘B Congress to declare war, but not
against a State.” Mr. McDmatd takes his doc
:rioeß from the Disunion Convention of Carolina —
but who shall be believed? Thos. Jefferscn and
Gov. Troup, or So th Caro'inaand Mr. McDonald?
Carolina never liked Mr. Jefferson—she voted f.r
Aaron Burr for President aiainst him —and Mr.
v cD maid called Gov. Troup a traitor for ?hese
sentiments.
We would ask if a State, bv virtue of her sove
reignty, can judge and withdraw from the Union
why cannot the other Stages also judge and pre ven*
her from withdrawing from the Union? It is sove
reignty which authorizes the first act, why can it
not authorize the second? is there any reason fo r
it? This leads us to inquire what is sovereignty?
It is a word much used and but little understood
When applied to political communities, i men s fit 1
■le more than the right of self-preserved mi. That
may be brought about, either by making, altering 1
or destroying governments. Life, liberty, self-pre
servation, and the pursuit of happiness are the great '
purposes for which all governments are n-ade; and
when governments become desiruc'ive of these ends, I
it is th« right ami the duty of the People to provide new
guards so their future safety. Now it matters not how (
these objects are defeated, either by the action of th- .
General Government, in the exercise of powers not
delegated, or by the resumption by a State of powers '
delegated, the right of sovereignty exists ti protect i
the people, in fust suoh manner and by such means
us the necessity of the c»se may reqtrre. The rest
of the States may be as much injuied by one State 1
resuming her delegated powers, ae that one can be 1
»»y others assuming powers not delegated; and if
sovereignty can protect the latter, why can it not
pr-tect the former? If self-defence requires and
j ishfies t.be one, why not the other?
The Consututi'n of the United States provi ea as
follows: u Wc, tne people of the U. Slates, in crd*r
to form a more perfect union, establish justice en
sure domestic tranqui'ity, provide fur the co nmon
defence prainoie the general welfare, and secure the
blessings of liberty to outselves an I our pos'erity,
do ordain and establish this Constitution for the Uni
ted State? of America.” This Coiutitutiou was rati
fied by every State in the Union.
Now I ask, ii a State, by seceding, would endan
ger the safety of (he oth-.r States, may not they, by
virtue of their sovereignty, resist her action? Most
certainly ; or they are not sovereign. If they can. (
then the doctrines of Mr. McDonald are false and
deceptive.
In truth, you must deny the sovereignty and equal
ity of all the others but the seceding State, or you
must deny the truth of his new tangled notions of
State Rights. B.t I may bo asked, is not this light
of the other Mates to judge and act, an abstraction
whic s can be of little consequence? 1 reply, it is
no more an abstraction than the right of secession out
of which it grows, and without which it could not
exivt. But it is not an abstraction. It is a dange
rous and fatal theory as to the structure of our go
vernment ; it disreminvtes wrong opinion! which may
lead the States into false action; it teaches the peo
ple of one Snte to treat with conteupt and disregard
the rights of lhe ether States, and in these times
when disaffection is threatening to destroy the go
vernment, it is leading the people to rush intorevoin
tion, civil war and anarchy, when they hud supposed
that they were employing and are exercising only
constituli >nal means.
It is u decoy into which men are to be led to find
a cherished pnnc’ple, ttnd when they reach the spot,
they find it the plain of revolution nndcivi! war.
To the Old State Rights men of Georgia I appeal
to resivt to every extreme the federal doctrine which
’ ’buries J. McDonald and his friends are trying to
induce vou t > embrace. He denied the eovere gnty
of the States when he den>un<*ed your principles as
those u*. the Hartford Convention. He denies their
• quality, and conH°quen ly their sovereignly now.
Y uov/tt it to your principles, to your lofty patriotism,
to past professions, to repudiate the d crineof seces

From lhe mountains to the ocean ; from east to west,

Rally, and let us maintain the doctrine of

their names: 51 esrs. Cobb, Toombs, Andrews
Thomas and Iwin. I had forgotten to men’iot
that Col. McMillan was also present and claim

loliowed by Mr. Toomb?. The efforts cf thene t>*«
gentlemen told well amid the countless racks ar
ranged before them, if we have any experience as to
the wonderful changes which the countenance un
dergoes during the pleasurable process ol conviction.
This brought us to dinner, a sumptuous Barbecue,
being well discussed. We were again assembled
absut the stand, where we enjoyed a rich treat from
Coi McMillan. We do net know when we have
been so amused, and we were not alone. The Col.’s
speech, made up cl rilicule, anecdote and witicisms,
served even to tickle he risibilities of the little boys,
of whemthere was a considerable sprinkling. With
their aid, and the uncontrolled laughter proceeding
from the Union crowd, and the noise created oy a
ccrpoial’s guard of the wuat-yoo may call-’em par
ty, the members of said party inspired in the bre*si
of our fnend Me. strong hopes (as I understand) oi
carrying the connty of Lincoln. If wit and ante
date will carry th s point, be will certainly defeat
Cot Toombs. Col. McMillan has yet tc ie.*cu that
the yeomanry ol bincotn can appreciate an argu*
meni as well as an anecdote, and they are belter ca
pable of digeating the former than deairoui cl being
galled by rue la ter. Had our Irienu 'c. given us
ti e position u, on the issues of the day, 1 would
glad y ma) e them public. All th .I 1 learned was
from a tepiy that be made to Mr. Thomae, who hav
! | ing charged that Mr. McS illan bad not defined his
1 I | scion, asked what he was for? He replied that
r ’ hr was Ibr a repeal ol the Mexican Laws. For that
I reason, replied Mr. T., large upon yru to vote for
, Col. Toom: ft, as you ail know be introduce 1 a Bill
6 for that purpose. But enough of this digression.
Mr. Cobb lollowd Mr. MoMIHao. I need no'
' peak of the effjrts of this gentleman. He has pro
1 ' abb btfeu heard Dy all who may see thia Let bun
speak for himself. We, in Lincoln, intend to do the
d voting.
't Mr. Cobh was followed by Mr. Thomae, the last
6 speaker, cst amount of the lateness o> the hour, who
“ addressed the assembly. Ha reviewed calmly the
a-p.eiuol St,. 100 WillSa, • e«U- I* .'J per-

Having done this, the assemt'y diareveed peaceably
to their homes to enjoy the proud reflection tbgt they
had heari the doctrine of the Union party bol ily ad
vacated—disappointed, however, that they had nut
heard at least some item as to the inteo’a ol those
who have endeavored to teach them th it they alone

The Whitaker Spring Discussion and
Barbecue.
Metirs Eliton :—Tna Southern Rights
Awocistion of this bounty haying determined
to canvass it, opened the Pregrawwa of their
arrangements a: the Whitaker Springs, aoout
•hree miles distant from the village of Alexan
der and twelve below Waynesboro on
Wednesday last, the 1341 tost.
About eleven o’clock, A. M., the meeting
was organised by the appointment of Col.
A. J. Lawson, as Chairman, and Dr Enoch
Mulkey, as Secretary. 'loo Chair, after a
r ew remarks, introduced to the meeting Q..
Skrina. E q., who lead off in an apology to
.be people of the neigh >orhood for coming
down there, uninvited by them, to enlighten
them as to their duty in the present crisis,
lie asserted that the Legis.attire of ’49 and
’SO provided for the calling of a Convention,
upon the happening of the following contin
rencies : the admission of Csliftrnia as a
State, &.C,; the passage of th . Wilmot Pro.
vise ; the abolition of slavers k. the District
of Columbia; refusal to pun-a law for the
rendition of Fugitive Slaves Ail these con*
tingeoeies, he maintained hud come to pass
by the action of Congress tn .he iate measures
goown as the adjustment measures. Califor
nia had been admitted as a State. (Has Mr.
8. ever read the Bill empowering the Gover
nor to call the CooveuLou ?) The Wilmot
Proviso was virtually in operation since Con
gress failed to acknowledge that the Coueti n
tion repealed the Mexican anti-slavery laws.
Slavery would tie abol .neJ in tl>e District, as
the bill abolishing the 8! ,ve Trade in the
District emancipated the slave (Does Mr.
8 know tha this la v is one pas-ed by the
Legislature of Maryland —a slave 8 a e—as a
police regulation ?) And lastly, the Fugitive
Slave Law was virtually a dead law, as the
Northern people were de ermined to nul ify
it by their opposition to is enforcement.
These were t ie ponts he attempted to ague,
and finally wound himself op in this part of
his euljact by djolariag tii- acq ueaoence in
the'ction of the late Coi.veu nxi; but even
this could not escape he hot fi-e of his de
nunciative artillery. First ne charged it with
abounding in falsehoods which the authors
knew to be false when they wsre penn ng
Uinta. (What say you. gentlemen of the Com
mittee reporting the Praamnle and Resolu
tions f Do you plead guilty?) Secotdly,
with dodging secession by coining the word
disruption and then argued that the State had
an opportu >.i:y of fairly baek’itg out, as it was
only pledged “to the disruption’’ aud not be
yond it. So much for Mr. B’s. metaphysical
criticism upon ibis document lie next at
tempted to point out the ciffaren e between
the two parties, the issue being, according to
his showing, consolidation or S ate Rights,
alat •‘poaceab’t teceseion.” in connection
with thia subject he entertained us with an
abstruse essay upon “«4s!ract riyAl ’ and the
definition of Sate—his being to staed—free
hold—fond possession. Ha then wound up
by a fierce onslaught upon Robt loombs,
denying that As had ruined the Country —prov-
ing per laps, to hit satisfaction, that T. was an
abolitionist, and to cap the climax, asserted
that Mr. T. had completely bamboozled the
people in making them believe he had de
livered his “Hamilcar speech” in repi' to the
introduction of a resolution to apoly the
VV.lmot Proviso to the Territories. That the
•V linos Proviso had been introduced two
years before. (How is that Mr Toombs, did
it take you two years io reply I Coma, air.
you had belter lie up and doing, for Mr. 8. is
alter you with a sharp stick, which co was
not exac ly ready to use at the Davis Springs.

Mr. John J. Jones, Esq., was then intro

assertion that the Texas 8.1 l repealed the

intervention against slavery because Congress
refused to say that'he Cone itution id repeal
die Mexican laws. What but passion and
prejudice could tn luce men to sey tha ‘the
Fugitive 8la«e Bill was nothing ; for the Con
-iiuttoii as higher authority ihan an» act of
Congre.s,” and in the very next breath say
that the express protection o' slavery by the
Constitution amounted to uotn'og unless back

next came in for a chare of notice, and the

was the Convention. N- vwe all know that

knew before, unt I inform. d of it by Mr. J.
(How is that Mr. 111 are von the Convention?
If so, let u< hear the letter, it is puolic proper

asserting he was a traitor, an ab diiioni-t or
l-ee-soiler at heart, and a politico Esau. (Oh!
