from the Union would involve adisso
lJt,on of the partnership, to the extent of the
Interests of the retiring partners; and that the
jissolution ofpolitcial as of commercial co-part
nerships, calls for settlements jjf the accounts —
provisions for the liabilities—partitions of the
property, and distributions of assets.
' should tlie South be driven to the extremity
of seceding from the Union, she would stiH
make it a point of honor to assume and to acquit
herself of her full share of the public liabilities ;
ind that being alone, she would expect and she
[ nould claim, her full share (among many other
things of value) of the Federal Ships of War and
of (Ac Federal Territory —including, of course,
California and her gold mines, whom she could
not regard as a member us the Union,and whom
she would not exempt from that law of partition
jinciioned for centuries by the vvoild’s code and
the World’s usages. Usages, upon the se
verance and close of all political federations !
That would be no more than the South's right,
ind once having the will, she migirt soon have
the way, of making it her own. The North
would not withhold it, if jnst to her obligations,
ind could not withhold it against the South's
consent, though she were not. But that’s "by the
way.'"
Once more: and I will part the California
question. ThoseVoho go furthest in the advoca
cy of constructive powers, must be constrained
lo admit, that without the act of admission, the
whole proceedings of the people of California
towards a State organization, were and must
have remained absolute nullities, and void, for
the want of jurisdiction and authority from
Congress. Her Constitution, then, as well as
ill its provisions, including its assignment of
boundaries, and its Wilmot Proviso, including
Southerners with their Slaves, were nullities,
tud void at the time it was presented lo the ac
ceptance of Congress, for Congress itself wus
powerless to have passed the Proviso, though
exclusively invested with the power to make
■•all needful rules and regulations" concerning
it Bear it inind, that the same want of author
ity that had annulled and avoided that Constitu
tion and its Wilmot Proviso, utterly incapacita
ted California from reviving either, or giving
them the smallest validity or force during the
whole of the time that the question was pending
before Congress : Bear it in mind, that Callifor
ma, even had she had the power, had never at
tempted the revival of either, but had remained
wholly impassive in the premises, from the mo
ment she had applied for admission into tile
Union. Very well: What see we now? Why
the Wilmot Proviso in full force and operation
throughout California’s monster-dimensions
from the 32nd to the 42nd degree of North
latitude ! Very well again: Now who put Wil
motl’ioviso in full force and operation through
out California l It was not California, certainly,
for 1 have demonstrated that she was without the
capacity and immovably impassive ; that she
did not do it, and that she could not do it !
When was it put there ? On the 11th of Sep
tember, 1850. How was it put there? Through
the action of Congress, in creating California a
State, in appointing her Senators and Represen
tatives in Congress—giving her a State Constitu
tion, with the Wilmot Proviso contained in it,
and receiving her into thcUnion as a Sovereign
State ? Who then but the Congress of the Uni
ted States did put or could have put the Wilmot
I’roriso In full force and operation throughout
California ? It would be an abuse of the reason
ing fatuity to add another demonstration to that
which is already pasta cavil or a doubt. I will
say more than this, then : Be it known to all
who may be in anywise aggrieved or oppressed,
wronged or insulted by the acts herein before
and by these presents set forth,thatt/ie Congress
of the United States, did, in the course of the
the second week of the month of September,
palpably and purposely impose the Wilmot Pro
viso, (and with the express and avowed intent of
deluding Southerners and their slaces forever)
and put it in full force and operation throughout
California ! And be it further known, that the
same Congress did during the same week, recog
nize the Mexican Proviso (and tcit/i a like in
tent exclude Southerners icith their slaves forever)
as prohibiting slavery throughout the Territories
of Utah and New Mexico, and that by virtue
thereof, Southerners with their slaves are for
ever forbidden by Congress to occupy one foot
of the territories, for which they are to provide,
three fourths of the money cost and have already
contributed, two-thirds of the men AM) fouk-
IIFTHS OK THF. graves!
From ull this it plainiy results, that Congress
itself then imposed The Wilmot Proviso through
out California, and perpetuily excluded the
South from all migration and settlement thither;
and that Con wrest has recognized for enforcement
the Mexican Proviso as a “kindred measure,”
Which will be equally effectual to exclude the
South in perpetuity, front all migration and set
tlement in the Territories of Utah andNew Mex
iro? Should any of the high minded Statcsoflhe
South, which passed orsanctioncd those manly
resolutions, to resist the Wilmot Proviso or any
kindred measure (if passed by Congress) “ at all
hazards and to the last extermity,’ ’ have changed
their minds from any cause, and can perceive
nothing now in the South's rights and interests
worth defending, or in her wrong or injuries
worth redressing: So he it: lyut none will pre
tend, that the cususfadcris the passage of the
obnoxious measures urpon tlie passage of which
interposition and resistance was predicated and
menaced, did not take place!
Having now concluded all I proposed saying of
the most important of t he Compromise measures
—the admission of California, —1 shall continue
my review of the residue of those measures and
(having changed the plan of which 1 gave notice)
I slial defer to closing number, what 1 may have
to say, touching inquiries into appropriate and
lawful measures for the South's redress.

Proclamation or Gov. Towns. —We trust
that all our readers will, with us, experience a
solemn gratification, that the Governor of
Georgia has issued a Proclamation (which
we insert in our columns this morning)
calling upon the people to meet in Convention.
It is a document ofgreat dignity and ability, and
well suited both in style and sentiment to the
occasion which has demanded it. It is marked
with a devotion to the rights of the people of
Georgia, by which Governor Towns' course has
been sagnally characterized from the commence.
Went of this great controversy between the
the North and South. That devotion is now
made more prominent than before, the virtue,
and courage, and the ability which this pro
clamation stamps upon his character.
We shall do him the justice to say, whatever
may have been previous differencies of opinion,
that lie exhibits the nerve which the Chief Mag
istrate of Georgia should possess, when-Georgia
is sought to bo degraded and oppressed by a cor
rupt and tyranical government.
We feel disposed to introduce this solemn
| 'loin in out to the public, with but few, though
warmly approving words. It will excite deep
and srong emotion in the hearts of all our peo
ple, and, wo trust, will be responded to with a
patriotism, as universal as the danger which the
convention is called upon to avert.
Wc must maintain our sovereign rights or sink
into a state of degraded vassalage.
The matchless glories of our revolutionary
fathers would only lighten up the path-way of
our future disgrace,unless, catching the inspira
tion that guided and sustained thorn against a
foreign,wc maintain ourselves against a domestic
foe. Georgia must now meet in her highest
council, and may wisdom guide her to safety

Central Southern Rights Association.
A meeting of the Friends of Southern Rights
was held at Messrs. N. Ousley & Son’s Ware
house on Wednesday evening lust, for the pur
pose of forming an Association, which was or
ganized under the name of the “Central South
ern Rights Association of Georgia,"—a Consti
tution and by-laws were submitted and adopted,
and the following officers elected, viz :
M. A. FRANKLIN, President.
CHARLES COLLINS, > vice Presid’s
THOMAS A. BROWN, J ' ,ceires,U3
R. B. CLAYTON, Sec’ry.
JOS. SEYMOUR, Treasurer.
Col. S. T. Bailey was then called for, who
responded in an able speech, in which he clear
ly presented the many wrongs heretofore infltet
ed upon the South by the North, under the mis
called ‘compromises,’ which were in fact no
thing short of surrenders on the part of the for
mer to the latter, and were so viewed by them
in relation to the admission of Missouri. He
discussed the questions with great ability that
are now agitating the public mind, and thought
that the rights of the South would not be res
pected without additional guarantees from the
North. We regret that we have not time to
give even an outline of his remarks, which were
quite to the point,and were received vvitli deci
ded approbation.
A. H. Cot.qurTT, Esq , followed in a few
spirited remarks, in which he noticed amongst
other things the recent attempt to abolish slave
ry in the District of Columbia, which measure
had now ten open and avowed Senators in its
favor and others who were only waiting a more
favorable time. He urged the people to exam
ine into the changes which have been of late so
effectually wrought in the character of our Gov"
eminent, and thought it was time to prepare to
meet the dangers that threaten us. His remarks
wore spirited and enthusiastically received.
A number of gentlemen then joined the Asso
ciation, when the meeting adjourned to meet
again at the same place every Monday evening,
until otherwise determined.

THE STATE CONVENTION.
The Governor of Georgia has, in pursuance
of his duty, issued his Proclamation, which will
be found in another column, calling the State
into Convention, and Unless we are greatly de
ceived, his duty was a pleasure. We had it
bruited about by submissionists at Washington
City a few days ago, that our Executive would
crawl out of this difficulty through the mighty
little hole made by a copulative conjunction. —
But it seems now, that small and boriy as our
Governor's body really is, his heart would not
go through that little place, and we now must
“face the music," or run. Os course the ques
tion now is, shall Georgia act, or shall she rather
goon and chatter and talk loud of llamilcar's
big swearing—and of ourchildren’scursing and
of our constituent's talking naughty words, in
full cry with the said Hamii.cak. It will be
carried we think, to stop the swearing, as those
who began this thing have been so thoroughly
reformed. Well, if we agree to act, what is best?
That is the knotty riddle. We believe, after a
careful and a most anxious examination into the
matter, that this will he the result—First, a frac
tion of the State will go for absolute submission,
outright, break-down surrender. Some of these
will doubtless go for this convenient policy,
because, like Mr. Stephens, they really regard
“slavery as an evil." And no doubt they think
that it had better be got rid of if possible.—
Others again will go for surrender, because they
have had hard scratching for their money,
and now are rollicking in their tardy and fresh
blown luxury, and “want repose,” and think if
liberty will only last their life time, they had
better rest quiet. Then, there are a far worse
class among this fraction, who arc striving by
theory of “Union,” to build up a party for
parly's sake, let it cost the South what it may.
There will then bo another class, ivho though
fully alive to the wrongs we have suffered at the
hands of tho Abolition party of Congress, and
who have fully made up their minds to resist,
yet shrink from instant separation. These are
an influential and numerous body, we are in
clined to think. These individuals are ready
to resort to retaliatory measures against the North
first, and they are as ready as auy secession man
could be, to take any consequences that may
grow out of this policy of retaliation. It will he
readily seen that with the faint hope that now
exists of any receding on the part of the North,
that really between this party and the Secession
ists, is only a question of a few days. Next we
have the Seceders. We arc as confident as we
can hoof anything not susceptible of demoustra>
tion, that this is now the strong party in Georgia.
And what will astonish the knowing ones when
the tiling is settled, will be, that tho poorer
classes in the State, hy an overwhelming proper,
tion, will take this side.
For a long time the Free srilers boasted and
the timid patriotic, among us, thought that with
the nort-slaveholding portion of our citizens we
would have trouble, when the present crisis had
to he met. But this will be proved to have been
a great blunder. We know, (for we speak what
we have actually heard,) these men have been
tampered with. We know that as far as vile
men dared go, it has been insinuated to this class
that it was the rich slave holder that wasngging
on a bloody fight about his property, which the
poor laboring white man was at last to take on
his own shoulders. Within our own knowledge,
it has [seen prudently suggested, that were there
no negroes here that lands would be much cheap
er to the poor white man. But, thanks to that
poor white man's good sense, lie soon was made
to see that so far front this being the truth, it
was evidently more his interest to sustain slave
ry here, as it exists, than it was of the w ealthy
citizen, who in the day of peril could cut cable
and scud away with a full freight. lie saw that
here was his all, and all so tied to the land of
itis birth, that he could never quit it. And upon
the prediction wc stake our life, that this class
of our people will redeem us. llow we could
ever have suffered divisions to alienate us as we
have done, is a mystery for which we have no
adequate solution. We can see a part of the
causes, but not all. Wby how is it possible that
any man in Georgia can doubt that slavery in
the States, was to tiave been from the very first
the grand point of attack. We have not the
slightest doubt of it, no more than wc have lha (
when it conies to the trial, vve will have then a
Union party.
We believe before II eaven, that such is the
rancorous hatred felt for the slaveholder by the
North, that it will be a matter of rejoicing when
these Slates will be surrendered as a useless
waste to our liberated negroes. We feel assured
that the same North, “our Northern brethren,’’
hate us on account of our better inheritance.—
They see that we have booty here, that they
want it—mean to have it, and that we will not
be a quiet prey. If these States were made a
San Domingo of, and the blacks should master
us, they very well know that they, (the North,)
will be the recipients of all sorts of discrimina
tions in their favor, that now they can never
hope for, much as we have done for them.—
They sec that should the negroes, through their
aid, get the Government into their hands, bad
;ir things would be —desolate as would be the
garden of the South, there would even then, in
all probability be six hundred thousand bales of
cotton raised, and that, by regulations in their
favor, they could monopolize it and 6hul out
Great Britain—build up their cotton interests
to the utter ruin of every other cotton interest
on the earth. If we were at the point of death
and were asked for an opinion of the policy and
designs of the North in regard to slavery, we
would say that this was it. But even say that
this was impossible—that it would be the cool
cunning of devils and not tl»e work of men, yet
how can Southern men, looking at the question
how it has grown from Patton’s Resolutions,
to what it is now, longer halt in their duty ?
Why, tell us why, should we hope for any better
turn in the fortunes of our poor country ? Are
we hopeful that tile Constitution will arrest the
evil.’ We are no longer a Constitutional
Republic, but a Consolidated Democracy —and a
venal, selfish and perfidious Democracy at that
For the Constitution is now like an old house,
no longer fit for shelter, that provokes our mirth
by its outlandish and inconvenient structure.— I
To the rescue Georgians, and if the rich want ;
repose at your expense—if the timid wealthy
man would console his degradation by the com
forts he can cram himself with by his money—
remember the thousands of us who have no hope
but in a Government that protects us in the hard
earnings of our sweat, and whose souls could
find no solace when Liberty was lost.

It need not be disgised, the great, the moment
ous question that it must decide is, the con
tinuance OR THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY. If it
shall determine to submit to the recent aggres
sions of the North, to ccquiesce in the fiat alrea
dy gone forth, that the States of the South are
not entitled to the same rights and privileges as
those of the North—that they are unequal and
inferior, then it follows as certain as effect fol
lows cause, that these aggressions will be perse
vered in, until the object which they are design
ed to accomplish to wit : general emancipation,
shall be attained. Tue people ofthe North know
that they now have the game in their own hands,
and that nothing can prevent their securing iti
but bold and decided action on the part of tho
South. They know that California with Dela
ware gives them seventeen free States ; that the
recent legislation in relation to Utah and New
Mexico seals their fate, and makes them free .
that these Territories, together with Mincsota,
Nebraska and Oregon, will each and all be ad
mitted as free States in less than five years ; that
they will then have allied witli them twenty two
sovereign States, no Senator from whom in the
national councils dare resist their edict; and
that in the mean time, (no,nor never hereafter)
will a Slave State be admitted. They know
with this overwhelming majority, that they can
crush any opposition the South may raise; and
thut if the constitution should be at all in their
way, or they would not bribe by hope of office a
few border Senators, that as they will wan 1
but two more States to give them the requisite
two thirds majority to change the constitution,
thut these two States can be made in less
than five years more, by divisions of Oregon,

States.
People of Georgia, this is a truthful picture i
It may be appalling to behold ; but nevertheless
look at it. You have an interest in it. In it are
involved your lives, your fortunes and your sa

most dear in all the social relations of life. In
view of it, we ask you, is it not true that the ap
proaching Convention is to decide the momen
tous question, whether you and your children
alter you, shall retAin your slaves, or whether
you and they shall be doomed to all the horrors
consequent upon their emancipation. You have
often been warned of the approach of this dan
ger. It is now upon you. Heed if you choose,

danger while his eyes are bewildered with the
glare of office, and whose heart cannot feel,
while all its avenues arc prc-oecupied hy ambi

claims of party ; but if you do close your eyes
to the dangers that environ you, you do it at
your perib
The near approach of the day for the election
ofDelegates to the Convention, demands prompt,
ness in bringing outcundidates into the field.—
Let all remember that this is no party contest,
and eschew all party feelings, party names and
distinctions ; but that it is a contest for South
ern rights,against Northern encroachments ; for
Slavery against Abolition.
For ourselves, we wish to sec no committals
on the part of delegates in regard to the remedy,
and no instructions on the part of their constitu
ents. We wish to see none elected but South
ern men, men who can appreciate the danger)
and have the wisdom to devise the best remedy,
und the firmness to carry it out. Committals
will breed distraction. None now can foresee
the state of things two months hence. Con
gress is yet in session, and the snrrounding
Southern States are in motion. The action of
either or both, may modify or change the action
of Georgia. Let the people select men, in whose
hands their rights, interests and honor will be
safe, and whatever may be their decision, let
then, abide it.

GEORGE W. TOWNS,
(joveroor of said State.
To the Electors thtreqf- — Grce.ing :
Having been officially informed, that the Con
gress of the United Slates has admitted California
into the Union of the States of this Confederacy,l
upon equal terms with the original States, a duly
devolves upon me in the performance of which,
I shall tiespass upon the public but briefly.
An unfeigned deference for public opinion,
and the profound regard I entertain for the wis
dum, firmness, and patriotism of my fellow citi
zens of Georgia, will not justify me, in a paper
of ibis character, in repeating my known and
unchanged opinion an to the duty of the South
in repelling Free-soil encroachment, and arrest
ing, by all proper means, usurpation by Congress.
Whatever is compatible with the honor and
obligations of the People of this State to the
country, its laws, and its institutions, I doubt
not, will receive their warm support.
In an hour of danger—when your institutions
are in jeopardy—your feelings wantonly out
raged, your social organization derided, your
honor deeply wounded and the Federal Consti
tution violated by a series ofnggressive measures
all tending to the consummation of one object,
the abolition of slavery when your equal right
to occupy and enjoy the common territory of all,
bus been denied you, in the solemn form oflaw,
under pretences the most shallow, it well be
comes you to assemble, to deliberate, and coun
sel together for your mutual preservation and
safety.
Whatever course the extraordinary events by
which we nre encompassed, will demand or jus
tify, must be left, as it should be, to the patriot
ism, firmness and prudence of the people them
selves. Upon them devolves the duty of re
dressing present wrongs, and providing other
safeguards, for future security • Neither the one
nor the other of which, however, will over be
effectually accomplished, until, by patriotic ef
forts, perfect harmony and concord of feeling
are restored, and confidence and concert of ac
tion producep among the people of the South.
In view, therefore, of the atrocious free soil
sentiment and policy, not merely of the non
slaveholding States, but ofthe Gov eminent—of
the imminent peril to which the institution of
slavery is reduced by tlie act of Congress admit
ting the State of California into the Union, with
a Constitution containing the principle of the
Wilmot Proviso, in defiance of our warning and
earnest remonstrance—in view ofthe deplorable
fact that some diversity of opinion exists in some
of the Southern States as to the proper inode of
redressing the wrongs, and averting the dangers
which all must see and feel, let me, fellow citi
zens, earnestly entreat you to cultivate for each
other a deep and abiding sentiment of fraternal
regard and confidence. Approach tlie task, from
which there is no escupe, of deciding upon your
duty to Georgia and the country, with a firm
step, but not without calm, deliberate and pa
tienl investigation, consulting neither fears nor
dangers on the one hand, nor permitting your
selves, from exasperated feelings of wrong on
the other, to be rashly urged to extreme measures
which have not received tlie full sanction of your
judgment. Then I shall not despair of seeing
the w hole State, as one man, proposing nothing
beyond what the emergency may demand, or
failing to perform whatever patriotism, honor
and right, may require at your hands.
The General Assembly of this State, by an
act approved Blh February, 1850, having requir
ed me, upon the happening of certain events, one
of which is the admission of California as a State
into the Uuion, to issue a proclamation, ordering
an election to be held in each and every county
for Delegates to a Convention of the People of
this State, to take into consideration such meas
ures as comport with the extraordinary posture
of our relations to our co-Slates, and to decide
upon what steps are necessary and proper to be
taken compatible with our honor and constitu
tional obligations, as well as more effectually to
secure our right of property in slaves, and to ar
rest all aggressions, by one section of tho Union,
upon the free enjoyment of the constitutional
rights of the other, and lastly to preserve invio
late the equality of the States of the Union, as
guarantied under the Constitution : Therefore,
be it known, that I, George W. Towns, Gov
ernor of the State of Georgia, by the authority
and mandate of the law, do issue this my Pro.
clarnation ordering and directing that the quali
fied Voters for the most numerous branch of the
General Assembly, do meetat the several places
of holding Elections, as fixed by law, in the sev
eral Counties of this State, within the hours fixed
for voting, on MONDAY, the Twen.v-fiflli day
of NOVEMBER Next ; and then and there, hy
ballot, elect two Delegates in each of the Coun
ties now entitled to one Representative in the
General Assembly, and four Delegates in such
Counties as are now entitled to two Represen
tatives.
The Managers of said Election are required
to certify and forward to this Department the

HIS. EAISY COY,
M Informs the Public that liels prepared
for tlie reception of persons sufit-ring
with chronic diseases, at his Water Cure
or Electro Hydropathic Establishment, near
Marietta, Cobh county, Ga His Baths are sit
uated near the principal Buildings. The scene
in the immediate vicinity is picturesque, being
near Kenncsaw Mountain, 'file scenery, puns
water, the great elevation above the level of tho
ocean, (being 450 feet above even the Tennessee
line on the Western and Atlantic Railroad,) the
convenience of access by Railroad, tlie refined
und intellectual society, and pure atmosphere,
have all most admirably conspired to render the
location suitable for an establishment of the
kind. m
The Proprietor deems it needless to say any
thing relative to the curntivo powers of either
Water or Electricity, as the general mass of the
people in this country hare attained u knowledge
of tlieir great value in removing disease. Ho
Hatters himself that he is able with pure Water
and Electricity, to remove any character or des
cription of disease that could, under other treat
ment or circumstances, possibly be removed—•
together with a numerous host, that all other
remedies must necessarily fail to remove.
The expenses per day, for a Patient at hie
Establishment, will be for Board, use of Electric
Shocks and Baths, with Water Baths, Medical
advice and attention, with ordinary attention of
Servants, $1 50 : which includes all necessary
expenses,except washing an outfit for the sweat
ing process, bandaging, &c.—payable weekly in
advance.
For further particulars,post paid commitnica
tions will meet with prompt attention if addresn
