Sober Second Thought.
Wb are truly rejoiced at the evidences accumu
lating every day, that the people of the South,
and especially of this great Empire State of Geor- j
gia, are settling down to calm reflection, and at I
the same time to a steady determination to have
all the matters in dispute between North and South
honorably, peaceably and finally adjusted, one i
way or another. We are glad to see that the
most zealous and ardent are coming to understand j
the advantage of our proposed policy , the honest
and real design of which is to satsfy all our peo
ple, and thus to unite them all—to unite all who
are alike interested, for one common purpose,
that purpose, our security and complete satisfaction
in the Union, or a united South in a New Confed
eraev, independent of the Union.
From a very large number of counties in Geor
gia we have intelligence that the people, whose Go
vernment this was designed to be, whose interests
are to be regarded and provided for, are for ma
king one more united co-operative effort to have
what we want in the Union, before we take the
final step of dissolution. Many think that we can
have what we demand, others think it impossible,
but nearly all are now uniting on the policy of
making the demand, so that the question may be
speedily determined, and that for all time. Com
ity, good fellowship, fraternity and due respect
seem to require that the whole South, by commis
sioners or “delegates, should consult as to the
terms on which the Union can be honorably
maintained, so that, should those terms be reject- I
ed by those who have the numerical strength, but
who manifestly feel that they have most inter
est in the Union , then we can all, with clear con
sciences, before God and the civilized world, dis
solve a connection, which would in that event,
have clearly become both intolerable and dishon
oring, and that without hope of change for the
better.
Among the most cheering signs of the times are
the late letters of Thos. R. R. Cobb, Esq., and
Senator Toombs, taken in connection with the
Elbert county resolutions, endorsed as they were
by one of the soundest and most vigorous minds
in Georgia—that of Hon. Thomas W. Thomas. I
Senator Toombs, we learn, goes directly to Wash
ington, where he will immediately prepare amend
ments to the Constitution, and if these receive a
two-thirds vote he will counsel his native State 1
and the South to wait until the States can act.
If three-fourths of the States ratify these amend
ments, the Union will be placed on a firm impreg
nable basis—if satisfactory and just demands be
rejected, then nothing will left the South but to
retire, peaceably if she can, forcibly if she must.
If proper amendments aro adopted, of course the
Union should be maintained, but the temper of
the times is such that the services of Mr. Toombs
will be-specially required to bring the Southern
mind to accept the terms. All eyes will be now
turned to him, in the confident hope, that with his
transcendent genius, his burning eloquence, his
boundless popularity, he may prove equal to the
great emergency, that he may make himself what
he is eminently entitled to be, the Great Pacifica
tor, the Hexry Clay, of this generation.
We are perfectly aware of the objections which
are, and will be urged, to delay and co-operation*
by many of the most patriotic and intelligent citi
zens of the South. There is a class of conscien
tious disunionists, disunionists of twenty years
standing, who do not desire to maintain the Union I
on any terms, as regards slavery and the position
of the government and the towards it, for
the reason simply that they consider the Union a
disadvantage instead of a benefit to the South, in
a material aspect ; and they, of course, oppose
delay for fear that the North may grant our terms.
This class is small, and not in a majority in more
than one State, if indeed in any. Another class
oppose delay and co-operation, for fear that the
people, upon cooling, will accept less than our just
demands—they, we think, are mistaken in regard
to the public sentiment, but whether they be or
not, the people certainly should have what they
want, or else we must squarely acknowledge at
once that the people are incapable of self-govern
ment, and acknowledging that, it will become a
duty to set about organizing a different form of
government.
’ Still another class, the class of politicians, are
opposed to delay and opposed to any settlement,
for the reason that they believe they can never
more get control of the Government. Rut it mat
ters little with them whether they can get control
under old names and old platforms, so they can
“get control at all, under any name: and their
policy is to go at once into that movement which
promises success, and to reap the reward. An
other small class, the philosophic class, look with
little hope to a permanent peace by any earthly
means, and therefore prefer final separation rather
than an armistice for five, ten or twenty years.
These also reflect upon the awkward position the
South , would hereafter occupy, w r ere she now to
consent to auy adjustment, after what has passed,
and they, therefore, rather tend to separation
without delay. But after all, it would seem that
nothing wluable is to be lost, while much cf value
may be obtained, by that policy which looks main
ly to union among ouselves, and the avoidance of
jealouky, heart burning and strifes.
We publish the letter of Mr. Jenkins with a
heavy heart, for, in company with many other
citizens, we sincerely regret that he has felt con
strained, by a sense of duty, to decline a candida
cy for the Convention. From all parts of the
State, and from men of all parties and of all shades
of opinion, comes up a voice, asking thatGeorgia>
in this hour of her greatest need and of her sorest
trial, should have the counsel and the guidance of*
her great, her just, her wise, her noble patriot
son, Charles J. Jenkins. By all means, the ses
sion of the Supreme Court in January should be
postponed, either by *,he Legislature or by common
consent, so that not only Judge Jenkins, but the
venerable Chief Justice Lumpkin, and Juge Lyon,
too, might participate in the deliberations of this
important assembly of the people.
Alabama.—A Washington City dispatch dated
the 18th says: “A letter from a distinguished
source has just been received from Alabama which
says it is now certain that the co-operationists or
conservatives will carry every county in northern
Alabama in the election for Delegates to the State
Convention, and ten or more in the middle and
southern portions of Alabama, thus rendering
doubtful the question as to which side will triumph
in the State Convention. Col. Taylor, a leading
Bell man in that State, has publiahed a letter
strongly favoring co-operation. If, however, an
ordinance of secession be passed, the Conserva
tives will insist that it be submitted to the people
for ratification.”
Union or Disunion.—A reader of influence in
he lower part of the Slate, who does not olten
interfere in politics, thus writes us :
The Union cause is strong in this county. Ido
not think that if candidates were run purely
Union or Disunion, that there would be fifty dis
union votes in the county; but the secessionists
are trying to deny being for secession and claim
to be now for the Union. 1 fear that in this way
thousands of good Union men will be deceived by
secessionists claiming to bo Union men, in order
to be elected; and then when elected, vote lor se
cession. All the masses of the people are for the
Union, and only the politicians are for disunion,
they having backed down on account of disunion
being unpopular. I hear from different adjoining
counties and the whole cry is for the Union, and
if the people are not misled by the politicians un
der the pretence that they are Union men, all
these lower counties will give an overwhelming
majority for the Union.
Warn the people of the State against this trick,
as I am pretty certain it is trying to be played off
in other counties as in this, as the strongest se
cessionists re now saying they are for the Union,
hut wish t be left untrammeled by any pledge
t v* ir co pduct, if elected to the Convention. I
tnink that if the people are to speak their sove
reign power through their delegates that

Call fob a Union Meeting in Kintucky.—Th*
Oentral Committee of the Constitutional Union
E arty of Kentuoky have issued a call for a State
onvention of that party, to meet in Louisville,
on the Bth of January, for the purpose of consult
ing upon the course Kentucky should pursue in
iths present crisis. Members of all other political
ar are invited to take part in the de
liberations of the Convention.
Editor of the Chronicle tfc Sentinel—Dear Sir :
My name has beet several times suggested in your
paper, in connection with the representation of
Richmond county in the State Convention, soon
to assemble in Milledgeville. It has now appear
ed three or four times, in association with the
names of two other gentlemen, in the form of a
ticket announced, and my silence may be con
stiued into an acquiescence in the candidacy. Al
though the proposed service, and this association,
might well awaken just pride in any man, I hap
pen to be so situated as to render acquiescence on
my part improper. My fellow-citizens know that
I am in commission as a Judge of the Supreme
j Court of Georgia. That is of itself no disqualifi
cation ; but the Legislature has enacted, that the
Supreme Court shall commence one of its sessions
on the second Monday in January, (the 14th prox.,)
and the term usually continues ten days or longer.
It is my imperative duty (unless Providentially hin
dered,) to be present on the first, and every other
day of that term. The Legislature has also provid
ed that the Convention shall assemble on the 10th
prox. It is apparent then, that without any in
compatibility in the nature, there is a fortuitous con
flict in the performance, of the two services, l hold
that no man, having accepted one important public
trust, can, without dereliction of duty, voluntarily
assume, even for a day, a second, which would
certainly interfere with the performance of the
first. This is the general rule, and no exception I
occurs to me, except that, wherein the second I
duty, in point of time, beiug temporary, was cast I
j upon him, by the same authority, (or one para
mount,)which imposed the first. Seeing then
that in the event of my election to the Conven
tion, I must inevitably fail in one, of two, impor
tant public engagements, I am constrained, reluc
tantly, but positively, to decline a candidacy. I
am thus full in assigning my reasons, becanse I
would not have it supposed, that upon slight, or
merely personal considerations, I decline compli
ance with a request, privately and publicly press
ed upon me by many valued friends.
Respectfully, Ac., Charles J. Jenkins.
Meeting in Heard County.
Franklin, Heard Cos., Ga., Dec. 4. I
Pursuant to previous notice, a large and entliu- I
siastic meeting of the citizens of Heard county,
without party distinction, assembled in the Court
House, and was organized by calling R. H. Jack
son, Esq., to the Chair as President, and B. D. I
Johnson, Esq., as Vice President, and 11. T. No
land Secretary. The object of the meeting was
explained by the Chairman, to be to nominate
candidates to be run at the approaching election
for delegates to the State Convention, to take into I
consideration the mode, measure and time of such
resistance as the present crisis demands.
On motion of C. W. Mabry, Esq., a committee
of ten was appointed to report matter and busi
ness for the action of the Convention. The follow- I
ine geutlemen were appointed, to-wit: C. W.
Mabry, Esq., Gen. L. 11. Featlierston, Dr. Wm. C.
Redwine, P. 11. Wood, S. 1). Echols, E. H. Kirk,
j Walker Dunson, S. W. Favor, B. T. Spearman,
and C. V. Furlow, Esqs., who retired, and after
a deliberate consultation, reported through their
Chairman the following preamble and resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted •
Whereas, a sectional political party, within the
I last few years, has sprung up in the non-slave
holding States, under the name of the Repulican
party, having for its purposes and design the
abolition of African slavery in the District of Co
lumbia, the Territories of the United States, and
other places over which Congress has legislative
I jurisdiction, and finally, either directly indirectly
to abolish it in the States, and to place the negro
upon an equality with the white population in the j
slave States. And the same political party has,
in a majority of the nou-slaveholding States, by
their State legislation, refused to carry out in
good faith the Fugititive Slave Law, iu direct op
position to a plain provision of the Constitution of
the United States, and finally elevated to the high
est office in the gift of the American people, Mr. i
Abraham Lincoln, on a platform hostile to slave
ry, and should the government be administered,
on the principles of his party, the right of proper
ty in slaves would be materially impaired, if not
totally abolished, the equality of the Southern
States in the Union destroyed, and they become
powerless in the Congress of the United States.
And we believe the present crisis demands of
every citizen in the slave Slates, calmly and dis
passionately, to express his opinion (but in a firm
and decided manner) upon the best and safest
course for the Southern States to pursue in pro
tecting their rights and preserving and maintain
ing their equality in the Union. Therefore
Resolved, That the political principles set forth
in the platform of the Abolition, or Republican
party, with Mr. Lincoln as their standard bearer,
with his determined hatred to slavery, his denial
of property in slaves, pledged to prohibit it in the
Territories, thereby depriving the Southern slave
howner of the right of carrying his slave proper
ty there, and its protection, and destroying his
equality in the Territories, we condemn as unjust,
unconstitutional, and a fanatic 1 heresy, and ought
to be resisted by the Southern States.
Resolved, That a majority of the non slavehold
ing States of this Confederacy, have plainly and
palpably violated the Constitution of the United
States by their State legislation, intended to de
feat the execution of the Fugitive Slave law.
Resolved, That those of the Abolition party in
the Free States, who have, or are now, indirectly
inciting the slaves to insurrection,murder, poison,
arson, Ac., arc guilty of treason and should suffer
the penalty of a traitoi.
Resolved, That we deplore as a national calami
ty the election of the Black Republican candidates
to the oflices of President and Vice-Pre ident of
the United States, yet we do not consider the elec
tion of a citizen of the United States, eligible to
the office of President in a constitutional and legal
manner, cause for secession or disunion.
Resolved, sth. That we approve the act calling a
Convention of the State of Georgia, composed of
delegates chosen by the people, to take into con
sideration our relation to the Federal Government
and with the free States, and determine upon the
mode, measure, and time of redress for the inju
ries complained of by the people of our State.
Resolved, %th. That we reaffirm our fidelity to
the principles enunciated in the Georgia Conven
tion of 1850, and recommend the Convention
which is to assemble, to lay down and declare
such further principles and policy, as will fully
meet the impending crisis, and entitle our beloved
State to retain that position which has been as
signed her by the Southern States, (the Empire
State of the South.)
Resolved, Ith. That we recognize the right of a
State to judge of the infraction and violation of
the Constitution of the United States, as well as
the mode and measure of redress, and when a
State believes the Constitution has been violated
and her l urthens become intolerable, (and we be
lieve a majority of the free States have violated
the Constitution,) after first exhausting all consti
tutional remedies may apply the last resort, seces
sion or disunion, whether it be regarded as peace
able or revolutionary.
Resolved, B th, That we approVc the niaxin *‘that
in the multitude of counsel there is safety,” and
do, therefore, recommend, that a plan of.co-opera
tion be adopted by the Southern States in a Con
vention composed of delegates empowered to de
termine a plan to be adopted by the slave States,
that will secure their equality in the Union, pro
tect their rights, and in the event they fail in that
effort, then to establish their independence out
of it.
After which several motions were made to
nominate different candidates by acclamation, but
on motion of C. W. Mabry, the Convention ad
journed over to Tuesday next, the 11th inst., it
being theu late in the evening and a number of
citizens having left town.

Franklin, Ga., Dec. 11th.
A large and enthusiastic assemblage of the citi
zens again convened in the Court House, pur
suant to adjournment, when Col. It. T. Stokes
moved that the meeting reconsider their action
on Tuesday last, which was opposed by Col. C.
W. Mabry, and enquired for *wnat purposed they
desired tiiem reconsidered, which debate was con
tinued for some length of time, iu whicli Col.
•Stokes, Geii. Featlierston, Dr. Grimes and Col.
Mabry participated, and which was finally termi
nated by I)r. E. W. Grimes, moving that all who
were in favor of immediate secession, should
withdraw from the meeting—which was rapturous
ly seconded by .the secessionists, and they retired
from the house, among them K. 11. Jackson, and
H. T. Noland.
The meeting was called to order by B. I). John
son, Esq , the Vice President, and oil motion,
Judge Timothy Pittman was called to the Chair,
and A. A. A. Watts requested to act as Secretary.
The meeting was then addressed by Thomas
Watts ilia forcible and pertinent manner in re
gard to the magnitude of the impending crisis,
after which R. P. Wood and C. W\ Mabry were
nominated by acclamation, who both beiug pre
sent, accepted the nomination.
It was then resolved by the meeting, that the
papers friendly to our position and iu favor of
co-operation, be requested to publish these pro
ceedings.

CO-OPERATION MEETING.
SENATE CHAMBER, ,
Milledgeville, Dec. 14th, 1360. j
A large meeting of the members of-the General
Assembly, in favor of co-operation and opposed
to immediate separate State secession, was this
day held in the Senate Chamber.
On motion of Mr. Jones, of Newton, the Hon.
John Billups, of Clark, was by acclamation chosen
President, and Messrs. Price of Pickens, Wofford
of Cass, and Carter of Echols, were chosen Vice-
Presidents.
The President on taking his seat, made some
, feeling, beautiful, and eloquent remarks, explain
ing the objects of this meeting. The remarks
were delightfully made and pleasautly received
by the meeting.
On motion of Mr. Patton of Walker, Messrs.
Paine of Telfair, and Render of Mirewether, were
chosen as Secretaries.
The Chairman announced the meeting organized
and ready for business.
Mr. QuilLian of Gilmer, ’moved that the Chair
appoint a Committee of twenty-two to report bu
siness for the action of the meeting.
The motion was carried, and the Chair appoint
ed the following Committee:
Quillian of Gilmer, Chairman.
Jones, of Newton, Wilson, of Columbia,
Ivie, of Habersham, Fain, of Union,
Hill, of Troup, Knox, of Wayne,
Briscoe, of Baldwin, Holt, of Muscogee,
Echols, of Chattooga, Andrews of Wilkes,
Grice, of Tatnall, Flewellen, of Upson,
Terrell, of Decatur, Cook, of Macon,
Howell, of Milton, Rushin, of Marion,
Hyde, of Fannin, Fannin, of Morgan,
Trippe, of Monroe, Lewis, of Greene,
Davis, of Dade, Wallace, of Taylor.
The Committee retired, and after consultation,
through their Chairman, reported the following
preamble and resolutions :
Nothing can test more thoroughly the capacity
of a peopie for self-government, than the manner
in which that people meet those crises in their his
tory which threaten the destruction of their form
| of government.
Such a crisis is now upon the whole American
people, and is pressing heavily upon the Southern
States of this Union. This is the people’s gov
ernment, and into the hands of the people alone
should its preservation, its reformation, or its
destruction be committed. In the patriotism,
good sense and discrimiuatingjustice of the peo
ple, is our only reliance now.
It. is admitted on all hands that the Southern
States have a common interest in the issues now
pressing upon us. The action of our State must af
| feet all. Mutual confidence and good feeling must
be the only sheet anchor of safety to each and to
all. Ordinaryjrespectfand good faith require that
when all are to be so deeply affected, none should
act singly, without first consulting all, who arewill
iug to counsel, and 4his conclusion becomes ir
resistible iu this crisis, when so many of the citi
zens of the Southern States are expressing a de-
I sire for consultation and co-operation, and are
actually preparing for such consultation and co
operation. Therefore we do resolve.
Ist. That we repudiate the idea that either of
the slaveholding States will, under any circum
stances, prove untrue to her own. interest, and
the interest of her sister States, and the success
of a common canse.
2d. That we repudiate that delusive policy of
secession first and co-operation afterwards. In
terest, safety, aiul success, and ordinery respect
to our sister slaveholding States, require consul
tation with at least as many as will consult, be
fore secession ; and then if secession be deemed
advisable, co-operation in secession and co-opera
tion after secession. Whatever mode, manner, or
time of redress be adopted, the first step to its
successful accomplishment is to unite the counsels
of those who are equally aggrieved, and who are
simultaneously demanding redress, or at least as
many as will unite with their counsels.
3d. That iu hasty, ill-advised, separate State
secession, we can see nothing but divisions
among our people, contusion among the slave
holding States, strife around our firesides, and
ultimate defeat to every movement for the effective
redress of our grievances.
4th. That in the consultation and co-operation
of the slaveholding States, we recognize the main
tenance of our rights and equality, the presrva
tion of our laws, the peace of our families, the
security of our property, the harmony of our peo
ple, the peaceful division of the public property if
I’ disunion must ensue, and the success of whatever
plan ot redress may be agreed on and adopted.
sth. That in selecting delegates to the aoproach
iug Convention, we urge the people to see to it
that they do not cast their votes for those who
are in favor of the immediate secession of Georgia
alone; and avoid doubt on this subject, so vital to
our success and peace, we respectfully suggest
that the people require every candidate seeking
their votes, to take distinct position against im
mediate separate State secession, at least until a
proper effort for co-operation has failed.
Mr. Jones, of Newton, in a few appropriate re
marks, burying all former party differences,
which were warmly responded to by the meeting,
moved the adoption of the resolutions.
Mr. Trippe of Monroe, and Mr. Paine of Telfair,
made a few remarks, responding to and endors
ing the resolutions.
The resolutions were unanimously adopted.
The Committee also reported the” following ad
dress from this meetingto the slaveholding States:
ADDRESS
To the people of South Carolina, Alabama, Missis
sippi and Florida, in delegate conventions assefn
blea, and to such, other Southern States as may
assemble before the meeting of the Georgia Con
vention.
The people of Georgia, in many very large pri
mary meetings, have frequently requested that
the Southern States of this Union, should meet at
an early day, by their delegates in convention,
and confer together.
The same meetings have urged the present
General Assembly of Georgia to inaugurate this
movement. Before these meetings were held,
this Assembly had passed a bill for the call of a
Convention of the people, and to that Convention
it seems all our prominent men were understood
to have recommended the reference of all other
questions on our Federal relations. In deference
to that recommendation, the General Assembly,
as such, has taken no further action.
The Convention of the people of Georgia will
assemble on the 16th day of January next, aud
dountless that Convention will'appoint delegates
to a General Convention of the Southern States.
Before this, the Conventions of our sister States
of South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Flori
da, and perhaps others, will have assembled for
action.
In behalf of the people of Georgia, whom we
represent, this meeting, composed of members of
the General Assembly, does most respectfully but
earnestly ask the people of our sister States,
above named, to appoint and legates to such a Gen
eral Convention of Southern States, or of as many
as will convene; and that until such General Con
vention shall assemble and deliberate, no final
separate State action shull be taken on the ques
tion of our longer continuance as members of the
present confederacy of States.
We urge this request, deeply feeling its impor
tance to all, and to our great common cause.
We have but one intetest; we are separate inde
pendent sovereignties, but in welfare, feeling and
destiny we are one indivisible people.
The action of one State must affect all the South
ern States. The separation of one from all must
greatly involve not only the feelings, but the in
terests of all. No slaveholding State can live for
itself. We must live with ana for each other. —
God has not mingled more indistinguishably the,
drops of water in our rivers than lie has linked
indissolubly the destinies of our people and their
children forever. „
lii climate, soil, productions and systems of
labor we are as identical with each other as wo
are separate from the bulance of the world.
Let us consult together then. Let us so act that
all may agree.
Our people must be united. Our common in
terests must be preserved. Our common move
ment must be successful. Common dangers must
be avoided. Our equality—our honor shall be
preserved. All these cun devise a co-operation.
Not for our enemies, but for ourselves, our safety,
our children, our peace, our necessities, we beseech
you so to order your action, as that consultation
and co-operation shall not be defeated, but se
cured.
Nearly all our sister Southern States are, even
at this writing, moving to this end. Wc believe
all—most certainly a very large majority--will
unite in such a Convention. Incalculable embar
rassments and dangers can thereby bo avoided,
and incalculable good ensured.
We know we cannot be mistaken as to success,
when we appeal to the noble chivalry of the
Southern people not to take a final step, which
must inevitably and irretrievably, in its very na
ture, involve all, without at least offering to con
sult with as many as will consult; and above all,
that such action will not be taken against the ur
gent request of those who beg that consultation,
and who are now moving to secure it.
We feel it is only necessary to muke known our
wishes, and by*our brethren they will be respec
ted.
(Signed by 52 members of the Legislature.]
The address was unanimously adopted.
Mr. Howell of Milton, moved that the proceed
ings of this meeting, with address, be forwarded
to all the slaveholding States; that they be pub
lished in the Recorder, and all papers of the State
in favor of co-operation, which motion was adopt
ed.
The proceedings of the meeting throughout
were characterized by great good feeling, a libe
ral, catholic, true Southern spirit, aud entire
unanimity.
On motion of Mr. llill of Troup, the meeting
adjourned.

Letter from tle Hon. Robert Toombs.
Wasbington, Ga., Dec. IS, 1860.
Gentlemen: Your letter of the 10th inst., invi
ting me, on behalf of the citizens of Danburg and
its vicinity, to address you at an early day, was
received yesterday. I regret very much that my
public duties deprive me of the pleasure of accept
ing your kind invitation. But I shall be com
pelled to leave for Washington City day after to
morrow, and unless the state of the public busi
ness wiil allow me to return during the Christmas
holidays, I shall have no day at my command be
fore your election ; if I should return, I will take
great pleasure iu meeting you in council on the
state of the couutry. The Legislature of Georgia
have unanimously declared that the present cri
sis demands resistance, and have unanimously
voted to call a Convention of the people to deter
mine the mode and measure of redress. This is
plain language—it is easily understood. It pro
poses to resist wrongs at the time and in the
manner best calculated to obtain redress. The
Legislature, also, unanimously voted a million of
dollars to arm the people of Georgia, in order
that they may repel by force whatever force may
be brought to resist the measures of redress the
people may adopt.
Theu upon the questions, that we have wrongs,
and that we intend to redress them by and through
the sovereignty of Georgia, the State is unani
mous. What then is likely to divide us V It can
not be the mode of redress, for it seems all look
to secession, separation from the wrong doers, as
the ultimate remedy. The time when this remedy
ought to be applied seems to be the most impor
tant, if not the only point of difference between
us ; we ought not to divide upon this point. Many
persons think the remedy ought to be applied im
mediately, others at a day not to extend beyond
the 4th of March next, others again supposing
that too short a time for the convenient action of
the Abolition States would extend it only to what
might be fairly deemed a reasonable and con
venient time within which our wrongs might be
redressed by the wrong doers. I would strongly
advise that there be no division among those who
hold either of those opinions. While I personally
favor the position of those who are opposed de
laying longer than the 4th of March next, I cer
tainly would yield that point to earnest and honest
men who were with me in principle, tut who are
more hopeful of redress from the aggressors than
I am, especially if any such active measures
should be taken by the wrong doers as promised
to give us redress in the Union. But to go beyond
the 4th of March we should require such prelimi
nary measures to be taken before, as would, with
reasonable certainty, lead to adequate redress,
and in the meantime we should take care that the
delay gives no advantages to the adversary and
takes none from ourselves.
But let us not deceive ourselves as to what is
redress and how we can secure it in the Union.
The open and avowed object of Mr. Lincoln, and
the great majority of the active men of his party,
is ultimately to abolish slavery in the States.
This he himself expressly avows, and there is not
a single public man of his party in the United
States, within my knowledge, who does not avow
his hostility to the relation of master and servant
as it exists among us. The means by which they
seek to accomplish this result are many, but all
consistent, ana all efficient to produce that result.
The first, is that we shall be driven out of the
Territories by law. Upon this Mr. Lincoln, and
his party are unanimously agreed, and it is the
corner stone of the entire Abolition party in the
Uuited States, and is planted in the Chicago plat
form. This they propose to do iu violation of the
Constitution of the United States as generally con
strued from the beginning of the Government and
in express violation of that instrument as ex
pounded by the Supreme Court of the United
States.
2. They propose to exterminate slavery by
abrogating, by State laws, that portion oftlic Con
stitution which provides for the return of fugitive
slaves to their owners.
3. To weaken and destroy it, by protecting those
who steal slaves and murder the inhabitants of
the slave-bordering States, iu pursuit ot revolu
tionary schemes for its abolition, in direct viola
tion of that clause of the Constitution which re
quires such criminals to be given up.
4. To destroy it, by excitiug revolt and insur
rection among the slaves; this, the pulpit, the
press, the political orators, aud, indeed, we may
say the great body of the Abolition party in Con
gress, in the State Legislatures, and everywhere
else, are daily endeavoring to accomplish.
How is it possible to remedy these enormous
evils in the Union ? There is but one mode, one
only; all others are delusions and snares, intend
ed to lull the people into false security, to steal
away their rights, and with them the power of
redress. This mode is by amendments to the
Constitution of the United States. In the Union
the States cannot make contracts with each other;
all departments of the Government would disre
gard them. To repeal laws hitherto passed by the
Abolition States would no”tbe redress, they would
re-enact them ‘next year. The amendments of the
Constitution should be such as could neither be
evaded or resisted by the Abolition States, and
should not rest for their efficacy upon the oaths
of Abolitionists—no oaths can bind them.
The Constitution provides two modes for its own
amendment. Article sth is as follows on the
point before us : “The Congress, whenever two
thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary,
shall propose amendments to this Constitution,
which shall be valid, to all intents and purposes,
ns part of this Constitution, when ratified by the
Legislatures of three-fourths of the States, or by
conventions in three-fourths thereof, as the one or
the other mode of ratification may be proposed by
the Cougress,” Ac.
Thus, you perceive, the road is plain; it is easily
tested : you can here find a test which ought to
satisfy every honest resistance man in Georgia.
Do this —offer iu Congress tuch amendments of
the Constitution as will give you full and ample
security for your rights ; then if the Black Re
publican party will vote for the amendments, or
even a majority of them in good Jfaith, they can be
easily carried through Congress'; then I think it
would be reasonable and (air to postpone final
action until the Legislatures of the northern States
could be conveniently called together for definite
action on the amendments. If they intend to stop
this war on your rights and your property, they
will adopt such amendments at once in Congress;
if they will not do this, you ought not to delay an
hour after the 4th of March to secede from the
Union.
This is a Constitutional andeft'ectual ultimatum,
means something, can be tested—can be tested at
once. This will be putting planks where they
are good for something, if thev are the right kind
of planks; but putting planks in your Georgia
platform, is putting them where our experience
teaches us they are powerless for good, and onlv
subject us to the jibes and jeers of our enemies.
A cart lead of new planks in the Georgia plat
form, will not redress ono wrong, nor protect one
right of the people of Georgia. Demand addi
tional Constitutional securities from j our confe
derates, and if they are refused, confederate with
such of them as are willing to grant them, or de
fend them vourselves.
I am truly your friend and fellow-citizen,
R. Toombs.

Tub Country Safb.—We attended the meeting
of the separate secessionists yesterday, at Mount
Moriah Church in the northern part of Muscogee
county. It was rather an unfavorable day, and
9n this account, the turn out was small, not ex
ceeding fifty persons. There were nine speakers
on the ground—eight separate State secessionists
and one co-operationist. The meeting was called
by the separate State secessionists—but Col In
gram—co-operfltionist, being present, was given
a place among the speakers us a matter of courte
sy. The meeting was addressed by B. A. Thorn
ton, Esq., Col. Porter Ingram, John A. Jones and
R. J. Moses, Esq., aud Col. James N. Ramsey, the
nominee of the separate State secessionists, for
the Convention—all except Col. Ingram in advo
cacy of immediate separate State secession. Col.
Ingram was for secession, but desired the co-ope
ration of at least eight of the cotton States, lie
was in favor of the conventions, on their assem
bling, appointing a commission to visit each other,
to consult and auviso and arrange for a concert of
action, that all might retire from the Union on
the same day, and to wait the action of the other
three cotton States of Louisiana, Arkansas and
Texas, which he felt certain would co-operate
when they saw the other five ready and waiting
for them. The other speakers all opposed the
proposition of Col. Ingram, and plead earnestly
and eloquently for their favorite idea—separate
State secession.
When Col. Ramsey, the last speaker concluded,
John A. Jones, Esq., read to the meeting, a series
of resolutions endorsing their dootrines aud their
ticket. They were adopted, rectivmg about 15 votes
—that being the strength of the advocates of sepa
rate State secession in the meeting. Those op
posed to them, but who favor co-operation and
concert with other slave States, declined to vote
through courtesy.
Os those present from the surrounding country,
about five to one were for co-operation.— Colum
bus Sun, 18f h.
The Test Case Between Kentucky and Ohio.—
The following is given as an explanation of the
case by which the Governor of Kentucky designs
testing the responsibilities of a State under that
clause of the Constitution requiring the return of
fugitives from justice :
’ Some time ago a man named Lago was indic
ted in the WoocFford Circuit Court for enticing a
slave to escape from his owner. Lago escaped,
and took refuge in Ohio. Governor Magoffin
made a requisition upon Governor Dennison, of
Ohio, for the return of the fugitive from justice.
Governor Dennison refused to issue his warrant
for the arrest and surrender of Lago, upon the
ground that, by the laws of Ohin, negroes are not
property, and that he did not recognize the act
committed by Lago as an offence.
“We understand the Attorney General of Ken
tucky. assisted by able counsel, will, at the re
quest of Governor Magoffin, institute in the United
States Supreme Court such steps as they may think
most available to coerce a compliance with the
Constitution by Governor Dennison. Failing in
that, additional legislation will be asked from
Congress to provide for similar cases. The sub
juct will be pushed to a final settlement, and the
question determined whether the wrong is really
without remedy.”
