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. RANDOLPH OF ROANOKE From the Augusta Republic. 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 °t»d honor M A C O N , G A. SATURDAY AFTERNOON, SEPT 28. NOTICE.

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. Inquest —A negro man named Morgan, bo. longing to the llon.C J. McDonald, was found dead in this city on Sunday last. Verdict that he died from apoplexy. O’We learn that the Grand Jury of Greene county, at the last Session of the Superior Court “protested against the admission of California into the Uniqrr with her present boundaries and constitution; for we regard any interference or legislation by Congress, the effect of which is calculated to impair the rights of slaveholders below the Missouri Compromise line of 36 deg. 30 min. as a palpable infringement of Southern Rights, anil should be promptly met by the South with determined resistance." [UrSoine six or seven hundred of the citizens of Oglethorpe and the adjoining counties, re cently assembled at Bowling Green, and unani mously passed Resolutions desiring the assem bling of the State Convention, “/«.r the purpose of adopting a mode of redress” on account of the admission of California, &c. Albanv & Oglethorpe Plank Road. —The Albany Patriot, says: Over $30,000 of stock have been subscribed for this work. We learn tliata serious effort will soon be made to secure the whole stock required. Nothingmore will bo necessary to accomplish than to show the people in this section the influence which that work would have toprmote their pecuniary prosperity. Let every one to do what they can to secure the early commencement of this important work. The Cotton Crop.—The Florida Sentinel of the 17th instant says : Accounts are bad—very bad. The crop will be shorter than last year.— Here in Leon, we are sorry to learn, that on ac count of very hot weather of late, and tbo re cent storm, the plant is dropping and has been I injured. The crop will be smallor than was an ’icipated. 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. From the Federal Union. The Btatf. Convf.ntion. —The Proclamation of the Excutive for this Cove.ntion, in conform, ity with the directions of the Legislature, will bo found in our columus to day. The election p>r its members it will be seen, takes place on the 25t1» day November next. Upon the action of this Covention are suspen ded the honor, the welfateand the future desti nies of Georgia, and of the the entire South 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, California or some other of these mammoth 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 cred honor. In it are involved all that you hold 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, the voice of the demagogue, who cannot see 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 tion. Heed if you choose, the culls and the 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. The Governor’s Proclamation. —We have no space now to comment upon this Pro clamation. We can only say that it is such a paper as was to have been expected from the Governor of Georgia. In issuing it lie has done neither more nor less than his under the law, and we sincerely hope, for the honor and character of the State,that our people promptly,and with a unanimity worhy of the important occasion,sus tain the action of their Legislative and Execu tive authorities. Let the Convention assemble. There is no other honorable course left lor Georgia. Let it he composed of her most wortiiy, intelligent and patriotic citizens,« itliout distinction of party —of men who will ncilhar be swayed by passion nor intimidated by fear. In the hands ofsuch a body; our rights interests and honor will be safe.— Sa vannah News. M A CUN MARKET, BEPT. 2tl.

Crushed and Pulverized Sugars, at MOULTON S. sept 7 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 Returns of said Election in the manner prescrib ed by law for the election of Representatives in the General Assembly ; and it is further order ed that the Delegates who mHy be oleeted by a majority of the legal voters of their respective Counties, do convene at the Capitol of said State on TUESDAY, the Tenth day of DECEMBER Next.

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.
