THE SOUTHERN TRIBUNE. 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.

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 am, Gentlemen, your obedient, JAMES M. SMYTHE. Messrs Joseph D. Pope, Wm. Henry Trescott, Daniel Jenkins, W. H. Cuth bert, and John G. Barnwell.

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.

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.
