To the Electors Uareof — Greeting : Having been officially informed, that the Con gress of the United States has admitted California into the Union of the States of this Confederacy, upon equal terms with the original States, a duty devolves upon me in the performance of which, 1 shall trespass upon the public but briefiy. An unfeigned deference for public opinion, and the profound regard 1 entertain for the wis dom, firmness, and patriotism of my fellow citi zens of Georgia, will not justify me, in a paper of this character, in repeating my known and unchanged opinion as to the duty of the South in repeliing Free-soil encroachment, and arrest ing, by all proper means, usurpation by Congress. Whatever iseompatible with the honor and obligations of the People of this State to the country, its laws, and its institutions, 1 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 arid the Federal Consti tution violated by a series ofyggressive 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, has 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 are encompassed, will demand orjus tify, must be left, as it should he, 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 ever 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, bu; of the Government—of the imminent peril to which the institution of slavery is reduced by the 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 oftlie deplorable fact that some diversity of opinion exists in some of the Southern States as to the proper mode 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 the task,from which there is no escape, nfdeciding upon your duty to Georgia and the country, with a firm step, but not without calm, deliberate and pa tient 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 the full sanction ofvour judgment. Then 1 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 Slice, by an act approved Bth 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 Union, to issue a proclamation,ordering an election to be held in each and every countv 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-States, and to decide upon what steps are necessary and proper to he taken compatible with our honor and constitu- tional obligations, as w.JI as more effectually to secure our right of property in slaves, and to ar rest all aggressions, by one section of the 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, Gf.oroe W. Towns, Gov ernor of the State of Georgia, by the authority and mandate of the law, do issue this my Pro clamation ordering and directing that the quali fied Voters for the most numerous branch of the General Assembly, do mcetat the several places of holding Elections, as fixed hy law, in the sev eral Counties of this State, within the hours fixed for voting, on MONDAY, the Twenty-fifth day of NOVEMBER Next ; and then and there, by 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 bv law for the election of Representatives in the General Assembly ; and it is further order ed that the Delegates who may be elected hy a majority of the legal voters of their respective Counties, do convene at the Capitol nfsaid State on TUESDAY,the Tenth day of DECEMBER Next.

To tlie People of Georgia. Fellow Citizens —After consultation with sev eral gentlemen from different parts of the State, during the late Fair of the Southern Central Ag ricultural Association held at Atlanta, the fol lowing resolutions were adopted : “ Resolved , That a Committee of five be ap pnninled to prepare and publish an Address to the citizens of the Slate generally, respectfully calling their attention to the importance of Common School education, and of some united aetion for the advancement ofthat cause. ‘• i ßcsotced, That the interests of this great cause call tor united counsel and co-operatiou of the entire State; and lh.it for this end we earnest ly invite each county to take the subject into consideration, and to send Deleates to a Con vention to he held at such time and place as the above committee, after consultation, may desig nate,for the pm pose of maturing some practicable system of common School education, to be pre sented tothe next Legislature.” No subject more deeply concerns us as a State, than that presented in the above resolutions In ail civilized countries,general education is consi dered of vital importance. Plaperly conducted, it lies at the foundation ofall that is valuablein po litical and social ■ elation, of mankind; and as it is general, or limited, or thorough,or superficial, will the State rank in the scale of real greatness. The State of Georgia is rapidly advancing in many respects, to the foremost place among her aisters of the South. Her natural advantages and resources are unsurpassed; and the enterprise and industry of Iter citizens are beginning to de velope these resources and to employ these ad vantages. Her population is rapidly increasing; and her capital begins to be largely invested in works of int enal improvement and commerce.— A laudable attention is beginning to be directed to Agricultural and Artistic improvements, as is abundantly shown in ihe increasing numberswho attend our great Agricultural Fair, and the inte rest taken in its exhibitions. In pasttime,:he ap. peal in behalfof these various improvements lias been restricted mainly to the more wealthy and educated, but now it is made toevery class of cit. izens. All are now invoked,especially the farm ers and mechanics, to enlist in this common movement for elevating the State in all the ele ments of true greatness. It is to be"feared,how. ever,that the most important means of realising these desires and expectations is too much over looked. Before the people can be efficiently en listed in these enterprises, they must be enabled to understand the nature and extent of the desir. ed improvements,the means by which they are to beacconjplshed,and the interest whichevery citi zen lias in the results. In no other way can a gen. : eral and steady co-coperation be secured. Now ! this is the business of education, intellectual and moral,extending to each class of w bite population Georgia has recognized this truth from the earliest days of her existence as a State. Her I first Constitution adopted in 1777, provides that j “Schools shall be erected in each county, and supported at the general expense of the State.” The endowment oftlie University,and ol Couu ty Academies, and appropriations for common and poor Schools, have followed at different pe riods in obedience to this provision of our first Constitution. And in addition to these provi sions by the State, private munificence has fur nished iiie means of establishing many valuable institutioiisoflcarningforboth mule-sand finales But while these various institutions furnish a highly creditable provision for academic Icam ing in our Stale, all the attempts of our Legisla ture to es’ablisli Common Schools have been singularly unsuccessful. Various schemes have been adopted, and then abandoned as failures. So that after all that lias been expended, there is a lamentable deficiency of good Common Schools in the State. The means of a good common education are not furnished to the mass of our population. And yet such an education is the right ofevery citizen under our Constitution.— The blessings derived by all from our higher sem. inaries are indeed great,and we desire to see them eherislied and sustained ; but yet vastly more is due to the great body oftlie people who cannot avail themselves of these higher advantages. Wliat then is to be done? Shull we allow this sad deficiency to continue? Shall this greatest hindrance to the elevation of our State still exist? The failure of our common school systems here- | tofore is mainly attributable to three eauscs ■ j 1. They have riot been adapted in their details to the actual condition and wants of our people, j 2. There has been no adequate supply of well qualified common School Teachers. 3. There has been too little interest felt gene rally ill the subject itself. To remove these obstacles, and to put-in ope ration some practical)!- and efficient plan cf gene ral education, is confessedly a work ot great dif ficulty. This difficulty is felt especially in those portions of the State where the white popula tion is very sparse. But yet something must be done, and we think the undertaking a practica ble one, if entered upon with an earnest zeal. During the Sessions of our Legislature there are so many exciting questions, and conflicting interests, that little tiineis left for the considera tion of this subject, about which so few feel any real concern. In addition to this, few of our Legislators !ci*e either the materials, or the thorough acquaintance with the subject itself, from which to digest any comprehensive plan ol wenera! education. Committees have several limes been appointed during the recess of the Legislature, but they have either failed to report or been unable to suggest any practicable scheme. Perhaps therefore no suggestion promises better results than the 2d resolution under which we now write. If Delegates be sent from the several counties, chosen with reference to this single, matter we may hope for some good result from their uni ted wisdom and zeal. Wo feel assured that the Legislature would not he backward to adopt the well digested recommendations of such a body ; and in any event, the meeting and deliberations of such a Convention would tend to inspire new interest into the public mind on this subject. We therefore earnestly invite each County to take up the subject, and to send Two Delegates to a Convention to be held in the City of Macon, on the Second WEDNESDAY in DECEMBER Next, for the purpose of taking intoconsideration the whole question of common school education. Delegates should go prepared with all the necessary statistical information as to the area, number of children, number of schools, fee. — The first Tuesday in November would probably be a suitable day for the appointment of Dele, gates. Let all the friends of common education whether many or few, determine to act promptly in this business, that every portion of the State may take part in these deliberations for the common welfare. Nothing is more worthy of our prompt and earnest attention. Fellow Citizens : This is emphatically the cause ofllie People—that w hich tends to elevate and bless every one of our population. It deeply concerns our advancement in all the elementsof true greatness, physical, political, social, intellectual and moral. And we are sure we utter the feeling of every true Georgian, when we sav, that in all these characteristics of great ness we desire our Stale to stand unrivalled, not by the depression of others, but by raising her self to that commanding position.

Mr. Ehtok :— Judge Cheves, whose lofty and incorruptible patriotism no man date question, in his celebrated letter to the Chai lesion Mercury in 1844, advises us to examine freely and fearlessly the val ue of the Union, and to despise the clam ors raised against us, as its enemies in its truth and purity. For one, lam prepared henceforth and under all circumstances, to follow his advice, and sift it, with its bless ings and its curse* to the very bottom.— Nor shall i be deterred from my purpose by the crj of treason, treason ! so freely and flippantly uttered by those among us who, Esau like, would sell our birthright for a mes* of pettage, and deliver us over bound hand and foot, to the teuder mercies of our enemies. Our forefathers ventured with almost the very baiter around their necks, to calculate the value of the Union between the Colonies and the Crown, and we proclaim ourselves recreant cowards, degenerate bastards, by refusing to imi tate their noble example, simply because the instrument of our oppression is called a republic—not a monarchy ? The name of Republic though eupho nious and ever grateful to the ear of the freeman, should not blind him to its op pressions, or foster in his bosom,a spiritof non-resistance to its wrongs. Tyranny is the same, equally odious, equally intolera ble, whether perpetrated by the many or the few—the people or the prince. Re sistance, to such is ever obedience to God. Since my last article was forwarded to you, I have received from a friend, the lec tureof El wood Fisher, Esq., of Cincinnati) entitled “The North and the South.” In ’his production, remarkable tint only for the source from whence it came, but its startling truths al.- , l find the views I have already expressed, of the wastingand injurious effects to the South, from her present political connection, most fully and triumphantly sustained. Mr. Fisher tells ns, ihat at the adoption of the present Federal Cons- it ut ton. the two sections were nearly equal in population and ex tent of territory, so too in commerce, the North in 1790 exporting $9,800,540, and the Saulh $9,200 500 ; and that until 181 G the Soutli preserved her superiority, by exporting more than the North by 5,000,- 000 annually. In manufactures likewise the South excelled in proportion to her population. This state of tilings was owing clearly and unquestionably to that let alone policy pursued in the early and better days of the Republic, and to our superior advantages as an agricultural and commercial people, not to any factitious ones derived from unjust and partial legis lation by the Federal Governments in our behalf. * At this period, however, (1816) the days of strict construction and rigid interpreta tion of the Constitution, gave way to newer lights and broader views. In other words, the North, from the influx of foreign emi gration, having acquired strength numer. ically, and taking lesson and courage from the history of the past, resolved to twist and turn the compact of union to their ewn selfish ad vantage; to override, oppress and trample under foot, the generous and forbearing South. How well they have succeeded, hear Mr. Fisher’s own words: ■‘Since that period a great change has oc curred. The harbors of Norfolk, of Rich mond, Charleston, Savannah, have been deserted for those of Philadelphia, New York and Boston, and New Orleans is the only Southern City that pretends to rival its Northern competitors. The grass is growing in the streets of these cities of the South, which originally monopolized our Colonial Commerce, and maintained ascendency in the earlier years of the Union. Manufactories and the arts have aiso gone to take up their abode in the North.—Cities have been expand ed and multiplied in the same favored region. Railroads and Canals have been constructed, and Education has delight ed, there to build her Colleges and Semi naries.” I regret that I cannot lay my hands upon the report of Secretary of the Trea sury for the last fiscal year, showing the precise disproportion in the Commerce of the two sections at this time. It is, how ever, sufficiently great, according to the statements of the gentleman referred to who speaks advisably and from the text, to cause the grass to spring up and grow NUMBER 43. in the streets of our once great Commer cial Cities—those busy marts where in for mer days merchants did “mostly love to congregate.” Who, Sir, can wonder at this result, when thousands of millions have been wrung from us in the name of the “general welfare,” and thrust into the pockets of Northern Manufacturers, Gov ernment Contractors, See ? Verily ha 9 this Government proven itself a kind nurs ing mother—rearing us that she may turn round afierwards and pick, plunder, and destroy her progeny. No people, no sec. tion on the face of God’s earth, not even down-trodden and groaning Ireland, has ever exhibited in so short a time, such a melancholy spectacle of misgovernment, of unjust and partial legislation as the South presents at this very moment.— Worse than all, what we now are, is but the beginiuing of the end of what we wijj yet be, if we continue faithless to the trust confided to our hands by a patriotic and liberty-loving ancestry. Yet, notwithstanding all this, the South is still richer than the boasting North, wallowing though site be in her brother’s wealth. This wo owe to our sturdy na tures, our energies, our enterprise, our climate, See., which ha* enabled us to live and breathe in spite of the inflictions of common government. Yet we ate poor, comparatively to what we might hgve been, had we enjoyed justice and equal advan ges under the Federal compact. Had the thousand millions of which we have been robbed already, been saved and expended in the South, wliat imagin ation, though ever so prone to extrav agant castle building, would be able to realize the pictuie of her present and future greatness and prosperity? Not one. But, with all our wrongs, and our op pressions “reeking hot upon our heads,” we at e this day better off in every respect than the North. In addition to our supe. riority in the matter just referred to, we are, comparatively speaking, wholly ex empt from crime, immortality and pauper ism—that absolute want of the necessaries of life which, in my opinion constitutes the very worst kind of slavery. In proof of what I say in reference to the two for mer (for they always go hand in hand) I need only refer you to the records of their courts of justice, their prisons, Ac. In that land of the Scribe and pharisee, Massachusetts, there were in 1847 in Iter State Prison alone 188 convicts, leaving out Jails and houses of Correction. In the three Prisons of New York there were about 2,000 ; while in Virginia, the largest Southern State, there was but 111 whites and 89 blacks. What a contrast! comment is unecessary. Yet we who have never burned a Convent of innocent and unprotected females; who have never witnessed the conflagration of temples dedicated to the worship of the Most High, by an infuriated and lawless mob; where jails and prisoua are almost tenant less, are called an immoral, wicked, and accursed people. Strange perversions of truth ittdeed ! In reference to those smaller offences, those violations of the law of God not re cognized as crimes by human institutions, or if so, blinked at by that great supreme temporal judge, publiic opinion, the North is entitled still to decided preeminence.— We yield the palm without a struggle.— We have no disposition to run a tilt in the face of their Magdalen reports, their Houses of Correction, their ‘Striped Pigs.’ “Model Artiste's” &c. Where iu the South, where in any Southern City can you find such crowds of loose, abandon ed females as can be seen on any Summer evening in the good City of Brotherly Love or the great Gotham ? Where will you find scenes of rowdyism, drunkenness and debauchery as the “Five Points” pre sent at any time ? Paris itself furnishes nothing like it, iu open and undisguised immorality. I speak from personal ob servation. L. P. S. Since the above was written, the New York and Philadelphia riots have taken place, strengthening the universal conviction at the South, of the insecure and combustible character of Northern in stitutions. In the event of separation, their only safety will be found in the arms of a monarchy, or a return to our “ peculiar institution,” by repurchasing a portion of the descendants of those “wretched Africans, whom their ances tors kidnapped”and sold to the planters of the South years ago.

Tiie Kcal Issue. Some of the non-action or submisssioji papers in the State are endeavoring to persuude their readers that the immediate issue before the people, in the present canvass for Delegates tothe State Conven tion, is Union or Disunion. They charge home upon the supporters of Southern Rights, that they are Disunioiiists per se, and are worthy of the “hempen doom of traitors!” Mafty ofthesepiesesdonotdeny that the South has been treated unjustly— they admit that she has been wronged to some extent —that all the terriotnry is lost —but still the citizen of Georgia, however may feel himself aggrieved and inclined to seek some mode and measure of redress, is a madman—an enemy tothe country— and should be “damned to everlasting fame’* as a vile conCoctor of treason. If thl? were all, 'we might only smile their empty,hypocritical clatter,arid hold in mockery their loud but impotent charges.— It has not stopped there. They claim to b e the real bona fide Union men—the specie] guardians of that blessed and righteous bond of confederacy which unites the haughty and unprincipled North with the “poor unfortunate South.” They call their meet, ings as having for their object the preserva tion of the Union, and adopt as the name of their tickets, the Union ticket. They beseech their readers by all the glories of the past and all the hopes (?) of the fu'nre, to rally to the snpport of the stars and stripes,endangered and placed in jeopardy, as they suppose, by the efforts of the South ern Rights men. They preach submission in low, whining tones, and look upon re sistance to unjust and unconstitutional trn a* sures as the height of folly and madne- B' While they cannot but see that the open object of the abolitionists and free soilers is to destroy slavery in the States as well as prevent its’spread in common Territories, they cry peace, peace—don’t, for the U/uon's sake, make any resistance—you’ll only incur the greater indignation of these our brethren oftlie North, and then your destruction will assuredy be sudden, over whelming and complete ! For the Union's sake, don’t endeavor to obtain your rights— don’t attempt to obtain justice—don’t tty !o secure your property and your possessions from danger and peril—don’t give our friends of the North ihe.least uneasiness! Mr. Toombs’ words were cenianly/ro phetic. “That cry of Union is the masked battery, behind which the rights of the South ARE TO BE ASSAILED.” We fully agree with him in the caution which he gives to Southern men, to watch the man who has bis mouth s > full of it. the South mark the man who is for the Union 'at all hazards and to the last extremity.’ ” Such a man is the true political J udas— the vile wretch, who fora tittle coveted wealth, would “ throw away a peail richer than all his tribe.” ’ But the once masked battery is unmask ed— uncovered and open to the view. This hollow cry of the Union will Hot avail.— None are frightened by this clap-trap of the submissionists. “ ’Tii the eye of childhood That fears a painted devil." The eye of manhood quails not at the bug-bear fancy. Neither will the South ern man, who feels the deep wrongs, which have been inflicted upon his section and the low depth of degradation to which he will be sunk, if they are not resisled by any and all means, in the power of the people. And this brings us to the REAL IS SUE presented to the people—and that is RESISTANCE or ABOLITION.— Which do you choose, people of Georgia? Resistance to unjust and unconstitutional measures now or the entire destruction of your slave property hereafter. One of these two must be chosen. There is no escape. The North has openly avowed its intention to bring about “ the entire ex- tinction of slavery in the United States.” It is your duty, if you wish to preserve your institutiouAnrul property, to resist any and all measures having this as their end and object. The late bills passed by Congress, shutting the South out of Cali fornia, virtually passing the bated Wilmot Proviso over New Mexico and Utah, and declaring that slaves shall become liueba ted and free if taken into the District of Columbia, are all aiming at tins object. They must be resisted. In the contest now going on in the State, thcr are but two great patties—one for re sistance, the other for tame and cowardly submission to wrong. We are for the first- The people must be for the first, or pre pare for the final abolition or Slavery.
