NEW SB HIES —VOLUM E II
GEORGE W. TOWNS,
Goveroor of said State.
To the Electors thereof — Greeting :
Having been officially informed, that the Con
gress ofthe United States has admitted California’
into the Union of the States of this Confederacy,
upon equal terms wilh the original Slates, a duiv
devolves upon me in the performance of which,
i shall trespass upon the public but briefly.
An unfeigned deference for public opinion,
and the prolotind regard I entertain for the wis
dutn, firmness, and patriotism of my fellow citi
zens ol Georgia, will not justify me, in u paper
oi ibis character, ill repeating "mv known and
unchanged opinion as to the duty of the South
in repelling Free-soil encroachment, and arrest
ing,by all proper means, usurpation bv Congress.
\\ hatever 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, \our
honor deeply wounded and the Federal Consti
tution violated by a series ofaggressive 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.
\\ hatever course the extraordinary events by*
which we are encompassed, will demand orjus
tify, niu.-t be left, as it should be, to the patriot
ism, firmness and prudence of the people them
selves. Upon them devolves the duly 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, but ofthe Government—of
the imminent peril to which the institution of
slavery isreduced 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 remonstrant—in view ofthe deplorable
lact 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 ine, fellow tiii
zens, earnestly entreat you to cultivate for each
otln r a deep and abiding sentiment of fraternal
regard and confidence. Approachlhe task, from
which there is no escape, of deciding upon vour
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 yonr- I
selves, from exasperated feelings of wrong on '
the other, to he rashly urged to extreme measures '
which have not received the full sanction of your 1
judgment Then 1 shall not despair of seeing
the whole State, as one man, pioposiug nothing 1
beyond what the emergency may demand, or I
failing to perform whatever patriotism, honor!
ami rigln, may r< quire at your hands.
The General Assembly of ibis Stn'e, hv an
act approved Bib February, 1850, having requir
ed me, upon the happening of certain events, one
ol which is tlie 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 ofthe People of
this State, to take into consideration such meas
utes as comport with the extraordinary posture
of our relations to our co States, 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 ofproperty in slaves, and lo" ar
rest all aggressions, by one section of the Union,
upon the free enjoy ment of the constitutional
lights of the other, and lastly to preserve invio
late the equality ofthe States of the Union, ns
guarantied under tiie Constitution Therefore,
be it known, that 1, George W\ Towns, Gov
ernor of the finite of’Georgia, by the authority
and mandate ol the law, do issue this mv Pro
clamation ordering and directing that the quali
fied Voters for the most numerous branch ofthe
General Assembly, do nicetat the several (daces
of holding Elections, as fixed by law, in the sev
eral Counties of this Btalc,8 talc, within the hours fixed
for voting, on MONDAY, the Tn cm v-fifih day
of NOV EMBER Next ; and then and flier*, by
ballot, elect two Delegates in each of i|j«» Coun
ties now entitled to one Representative in tlm
General Assembly, and A 1:1 Delegates in suc h
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 ltuv for the election of Representatives in
the General Assembly ; and it is further order
ed that the Delegates who may he elected by a
majority of the legal voters of their respective
Counties, do convene at the Capitol of said Stale
on TUESDAY, the Tenth day of DECEMBER

of saying, that flattered by the favorable

Gentlemen : Your kind favor, request
ing my company on theoccusionofa public
dinner to he given by tlie citizens of St.
Helena Parish to the Hon. W. F. Colcock
and tlie Hon. R. W. Barn well, in tbw town
of Beaufort, on tlie 25th of this month, lias
been duly received. I regret deeply that
existing engagements',,, meet portions of
my fellow citizen;;,fa this State, on the 22d
and 26th ins'.ant, will deprive mo of the
pleasure, honor of meeting with you
on the occasion referred to. But fur
«hese obstacles I should bo happy to unite
with yon in doing honor to these distin
guished gentlemen,whose unfaltering tn the
rights of tlie South, at this eventful crisis,
have secured, not alone the approbation
and confidence of their immediate con
stituents, butofthousandsof other patriotic
Southern men in every section of theslave
holding States.
Permit tne to tender to you my graleful
acknowledgments for the flattering terms
in which you have referred to my hmble
offerings upon thealtar ofSouthernequali
tv, honor and rights.
Should it be appropriate to the
occasion I will offer tho following senti.
ment :
South Carolina : —Her fidelity to the
Union, established by our fathers,is exhib
ited in the patriotic and noble spirit wiih
which she contends for the equal rights of
its members. She would be untrue to the
National compact, if she basely surrendered
to the tyranny of a sectional majority.—
The Union, as ourfathers established it,or
Independence, should bo the watchword
of every freeman in the land. In the main
tenance of that sacred sentiment, South
Carolina exhibits a wisdom, firmness, and
virtue, unrivalled by her sisters. She is
t he brightest star of the South.
With considerations of high respect, 1

Gentlemen : our letter to me ofirifirW*
* i ->*», to attend n com|>fimentary dinner to
he given at Beaus >rt, on the 25th inst. in
honof of the Hon. William F. Colcoetc
and tlie Hon. R. W. Barnwell, having
been forwarded to me, was received here
on yesterday. It becomes impossible for
ine, you will see, to be with von on that
occasion. To no one of the numerous
fiiends of those gentlemen would it afPril
more pleasure than to myself to do them
honor. My personal intercourse wirh tho
first has been most pleasant, and 1 have
listened to tho voice ofthe last with Admi
ration, when maintaining the character of
his native Stats with fit mnesss and elo
quence in the Senate. They both, urs
sons of South Carolina, worthy of her
best affections and of her highest honors.
You are pleased to say, gentlemen, that
you wish me to he present, that my coun
sels may he joined with yours. I have no
idea that mine would he of service. I
feel, deeply, as your own peojdedo through
out your State, that justice lias not been
done to the South ; and I see mupli that
threatens her, not only in the distant fu
ture, but in the impending hour—all of
the signs at the North pointing to ceaseless
and hostile agitation. Pardon me for sug
gesting to you—it is the suggestion of one
who has always been your friend in the
most trying scenes through which Carolina
has passed in the last twenty years, that
whatever may be the right of Recession, in
which I religiously believe, the path of
wisdom may now lead not to its exercise,
by any single State, but to a solemn call
for a Convention of theslaveholdingStates-
This would he respectful to them, andean
produce no evil results. If held, good
may be effected, whether in or out of the
Union—if refused, we shall have the sat
isfaction of knowing that tho world cannot
condemn us for piecipitato action. Such
a call by Georgia, I, one of the feeblest Os
her sons, devoted, as with a child’s cling
ing love to its mother, to her honor and
her happiness, commend to her considera
tion— and your kindness emboldens me to
make the suggestion to Carolina, in which
my maternal ancestors lived, and in w hich
still reside some of my kinsmen.
I have the honor, gentlemen, to be re
respectfully, your friend,
JOSEPH W. JACKSON,

Orangeburg, Oct. 21, 1850.
Gentlemen :—l regret that my early
departure for Nashville, and pressing en
gagements until that time,will prevent mo
from accepting your invitation to a dinner
given by the citizens of St. Helena Parish
to Messrs. Barnwell and Colcock. It
would afford me pleasure to give my un
qualified approbation to the political
course of those two gentlemen, and I am
sure 1 can add the equal approbation of my
District. 1 would be pleased lo avail my
self ofthe occasion, to take solemn counsel
w ith you on the present unhappy condition
of our national affairs, although in my
humble judgment all argument has been
well nigh exhausted, but as to the mode
and measure of redress.
By the recent legislation ofCon jrcss.tho
South has lost everything—even her honor,
for she has been degraded from her position
of equality in the Confederacy, and it seem ß
to me that every Southern man is impelled
by every sentiment of duty and patriotism ,
to recover the lost condition of the South
in the Confederacy, or independence out
of it. The first, I believe, is now unat
tainable, and no course seems to be left us
but the second. We have no choice in
this matter, for even submission will not
bring us tempoiary repose, but new exac
tions, greater opppression, and at length
utter degradation and ruin. Foitunately
for us the South has a remedy—each State
has a remedy, by the interposition of its
sovereignty, to withdraw at once from this
Confederacy. 1 believe this State will
take that course, and without reference
to the action of any other State—lfi3t
there are other Southern States which
w ill probably do the same; hut it would be
far better for South Carolina to enter upon
this contest single handed, ami incur »1|
(hehazards of utter subjugation, thantanr.e
|y submit to the hopeless destiny that the
North is preparing for her.
I have the honor to be, GentTmen, with
great respect, your obd’t servant,
D. F. JAMISSONI
To Messrs. Jos. D. Pope, and others.
