GEORGE W TOWNS,
Governor of said State.
To the Electors thereof—Greening :
Having been officially informed, Lb at the Con
gress of the United St ites has admitted California
into i he L T nion of the Steles of this Confederacy,
upon equal terms with the original States, a duty
devolves upon me in the performance of which,
I shall trespass upon the public but briefly.
An unfeigned deference for public opinion,
and the profound regard I entertain for the vvi*
dum, firmness, and patriotism ot ui) fellow citi
zens of (ieorgia, will not justify me, in a paper
of this character, in repealing my known and
unchanged opinion as to the duty of the South
; in repelling Free soil encroachment, and arrest
ing, by all proper means, usurpation in Congress.
Whatever is compatible with the honor and
obligations of the People of this Skate to the |
country, its laws, audits institutions, I douLt
| not, will receive their warm support.
\ lu an hour of danger—when your institutions
| arß > n jeopardy—your feelings wantonly out
j raged, your social organization derided, your
; honor deeply wounded and llie Federal Consti
j lotion v iolated by a series ot aggressive measures
j all tending to the Consummation of one object,
1 the abolition of slavery—v. hr *• y tier » o,t. al right
to occupy and enjoy the common territory of all,
has been denied you, in the solemn form’oflavv,
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 vve are encompassed, will demand orjus
lify, in Us t he left, as it should he, to the patriot
ism, firmness and prudence of the* people them
selves. Upon them devolves the doty 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 accomplish! and, 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 nun
slaveliolding States, bu'. id the Government—of
the imminent peril to which the institution of
slavery is reduced by the act of Congress admit
ting the Stale o Calif, rnia into (I , L, ion, vviih
( oiislilniioi! c iitiiiiiing ibe prir.ciple of the
44 ilmot Proviso, in defiance ol our warning and
earnest remonstrance—in view ofthe dt plot able
fact that some diversity ot opinion exists in some
ot tli** Southern States as to the proper mode of
redressing the wrongs, and av ei ting the .lungers
which ill must see and feel, let me, fellow If i
zens, earnestly entreat you to cultivate for each
nth r a deep and abiding sentiment of fra crnal
regard and roiifj.b nee. Approach the task, from
winch there is no escape, of deciding upon your
duty to Geoigia and the country, with a firm
slip, but not will., ui culm, deliberate and pa
tu t ! niveslig.iiii.il, rnustiliiHg neither tears nor
dangi rs on the one hand, imr permitting your
selves, from exasperated feelings of wrong on
tin oilier, lo he rashly urged lo extreme toeasnri s
whu h have not reccivi and he liili sanction of \ our
jttnginent i hen 1 shall not despair of seeing
i be u hole State, as one man, pi op* sing noi hi ng

and riglu, may r< quire at your I ands.

MACON, (GA..) SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 9, 1850.
To the People of Georgia.
Felloic Citizens —After consultation with sev
eral gentlemen from different par sos the State,
during the lute Fair of tho Southern Central .Ag
ricultural Association held at Atlanta, the fol
lowing resolutions were adopted:
“Resolved, That a Committee of five he ap
pointed to prepare and publish an Address to
the citizens of the {State generally, respectfully
calling their attention to the importance of
Common (school education, and of Nome united
action for the advancement of that cause.
“ Resolved , That the intercs sos this great
cause call for united counsel and co operation of
the entire Stue; and that for this end we earnest- i
ly invite each county to take the subject into
consideration, and to send Deleates to a Con
vention to be hold at such time and place as the
above committee, after consultation, may desig
nate,for the purpose of maturing some practicable
i system of common School education, to be pre
sented to the next Legislature.”
No subject more deeply concerns us as a State,
than that presented in ti e above resolutions lu
ail civilized conn tries,gem ral education is consi
dered of vital importance. I*lnperly conducted, it
lies at the foundation of all that is valuablein po
litical and social relations 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 udv slicing in
j many respects, to the foremost place among her
I sisters ofthe Sou h. Her natural advantages and.
j resources are unsurpassed; and the enterprise
and industry iher citizens are beginning to d/s
--j velupe these resources und lo employ these ad»
; vantages. Her population is rapidly increasing;
j and her capital begins 10 be argely invested in
works of intenal improvement und commerce.—
A laudable attention is beginning to lie directed
to Agricultural and Artistic improvements, as is
abundanily shown in lie increasing numbersvvho
attend our great Agricul uial l air, and the inte
rest taken in its ex hi bi ttons In past time,the ap
peal in behuifof these various improvements has
been restricted mainly to the mure wealthy and
educated, bit now it is made toevery class of cit
izens. All are now invoked,especially the farm
ers and mechanics, to culi.-i in this common
movement for elevating the Blate in all the ele
ments of true greatness. It is to be feared,how.
! eve ,that ho most important means of realising
I these desires and expectations is too much over.
I looked. Before the people can be efficiently en
listed in these enterprises, .hey must he enabled
lo understand tin- nature and extent ofthe desin
jed improvements,the means by which they are to
j he accouipished,and the imerest vv Inch every citi
i zeti has in tbe results In no ether ivay can a gen.
j eral amt steady cu-coperutioii hesecuri-d Now
: this is the business ol education, intellectual and
i moral,i xtcndiiig to each class ot w bite population
Georgia has recognized this truth from the
| earliest days of tier existence as a Btate. Her
first Constitution adopted in 1777, provides that
i “Schools shall lie erected in each county, and
supported at the general expense of the Sente.”
The endowment ofthe Lot v ersili, and ol Conn
ty Academies, and appropriations for common
j and poor School , have followed al dilfcrenl pe
riods in obedience lo his provision ol our first
Constitution. And in addition to these provi
sions by the State, private munificence lias fur
nished the means of establishing many valuable
institutions ot learning for hot Ii males ands. males
But while these various institutions furnish a
highly creditable provision lor academic learn
ing in our Slate, all the attempts i>! our I.egis a
ture to establish Common Schools have been
singularly unsuccessful. Various schemes have
bo, o adopted, and then abandoned its !nlur* s.
So that after nil that Inis been expended, there is
a bout'll!able deficiency ofgood Common Schools
in the State. Tim means of a good common
education are not furnished to the mass of our
popula'iuii And vet such an education is the
right ofevery citizen under our Constitution
Tlie blessings deriv ed by all from our higher seni.
i iiiii ics arc indeed groat,and we desire to see them
cherished and sustained ; hut yet vastly more is
due to the great body ofthe people who cannot
avail themselves of these higher advan ages.
44 bat then is to he done ? Snail w e allow this
sad sh ficicticy to continui ? Shall this gi< a.i st
hindrance to the elevation of our State still exist?
The failure ol our common school sy stems In re
tofoie is mainly utlrilmtable lo 110 i e • i i.si s :
1 Tlmy have mu been adapteit in their details
to the actual condition and vrni.t:. ot oi.r people.
2 There lias been no adequate supply ot well
qualified eonimon School Ii .e he.s.
3. There lias been 100 little interest felt gene
rally ill tbe subject itself.
To remove these obstacles, and to put in ope
ration some practicable and efficient plan cfgene
ral education, is confessedly a work of great dif
ficulty. This difficulty is felt especially in those
portions of the State where the white popula
tion is vety sparse. Bu! yet something must be
dons, and we think the undertaking a practica
ble one, if entered upon v tilt an eainesl zeal.
During the Sessions of our Legislature there
are so many exciting questions, and conflicting
interests, that little time is left for the considera
tion of this subject, about which so f* w feel any
real concern. In addition to this, few of our
Legislators have either the materials, or the
thorough acquaintance with the subjec t itself,
from which to digest any comprehensive plan of
general education. Committees have several
times fieeu appointed during tile recess of the
Legislature, hut they have eititer failed to report
or been unable losuggest any practicable scheme.
Perhaps therefore mi suggestion promises belter
results than tbe 2d resolution under which wo
niiW write. If Delegates he sent from the several
counties chosen with nference to this single matter
we nun hope tor some good rest! 11 from ; heir uni.
ted wisdom and Zeal. \\ e feel assured that the
Legislature would not he hack ward to adopt the
w i ll 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 In send Tico Dc'cgntcs
to a Convention to be held in t ho ( i y nf.Mucon,
on the Second WEDNESDAY in DECEMBER
Next, for Ihe purpose of taking intoeonsideration
the whole question ofcommon school education.
Delegates should go prepared with all the
necessary statistical information ns to the area,
number of children, number of schools, Ac. —
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 tins business, that every portion of the State
may lake part in these de iberations for the
common welfare. Nothing is more worthy of
our prompt and earnest attention.
Fellow Citizens : This is emphatically the
cause of the People— that w hich tends to elevate
and bless every one of our population. It deep!'
concerns our advancement in all the elements of
true greatness, physical, political, social,
intellectual and mqral. And we are sure we
utter the feeling of every true Georgian, when
we sav, that in all these eliaiaeteristics of great
ness we desire our Plate to stand unrivalled, not
hy the depression of others, hut by raisii g her
self to ' hat commanding position.

in the immediate vicinity is picturesque, being
near Kennesuw Mountain The scenery, pure
water, the great elevation above tho level ofthe
ocean, (being 450 feet above even the Tennessee
line on the Western and Atlantic Railroad,) the
convenience of access by Railroad, the refined
and intellectual society, and pure atmosphere,
l ave all most admirably conspired to render the
location suitable for'an establishment of the
kind.
The Proprietor deems it needless to say any
thing relative to the curative powers of either
Water or Electricity, as the general mass of the
peoplein this country have attained a knowledge
of their great value in removing disease. He
flatters himself that lie is able with pine 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.

Onward. — The Southern cause is stea
dily gaining ground. Every day adds to
the converts from submissinti'to resistance
This is the natural effect of investigation.
We do not know what the man is made of
who can look nt this question in nil it 8
prodigious length and breadth and depth,
of aggravated wrong and future peril,
and not feel stilting in him the devil of
stern resistance. The bowels of such a
man must he made of gutta perclta, his
heart of flint,and his blood of that stuff that
forms the vital fluid inihe bodies of frogs
and fishes An eccentiic friend of ours was
accosted the other day hy acquaintance on
the submission side; "well, Mr.Fire-eater,
how do you to-day V’ "Fire eater!" he
answered; "hy George, I would he a man*
cater in such a cause,and isl only had few
pounds more flesh on my hones, 1 would
have my pocket full of ears, before
night.’’
This is a quaint way of expressing a
feeling that ought, it appears to us, to bub
ble spontaneously from every Southern
heart feeling the deep injustice and injury
which his section has suffered from the
hands of the Government Columbus
Times.
The Fugitive Slave Law and the
Chukch.—The New York Evangelical
Congregational Association, which met at
Poughkeepsie onj.be Bth ultimo, express
ed their views upon the Fugitive Slave
Law, in this wise ;
Resolved, That while we recognise the
obligation to obey the laws of the land, wo
make no exception in the ease of all such
provinsions as couti avene the ‘higher law
of God.
Reso’ved, That we advise all persens
Ito tender every needful aid and comfort
to Fugitive Slaves, just the same as if there
•was no law in the land foibidding it.
