these presses do not deny that the
South has Jiecn treated unjustly—they
ml mil that she In** U*n wronged to
MiAte client—-that nil the territory is
lost—bnt still they declare that the citi
zen ol Georgia, however much he may
tccl aggrieved nnd inclined to seek some
mode and measure of rcilrcss, is a mad
man—an enemy to the country—and
should be -damned to everlasting
fame'* ns a vile concoctorof treason.
If ibis were all, we.niighi only smile
at their empty, hypocritical clatter, and
hold in mockery ibeir bmd but impotent
charges. But it has not stopped there.
They claim to lie the rea l bona fide Vtnas
men—the special guardians of that Mess
ed and righteous bond of confederacy
which unites the haughty and unpriuct-
pled Nnrtli willi the *• poor unfortunate
South.” They call their meetings as
having lor their object the preservation
of the Union, and adopt aa the name ol
their tickets, the Union ticket. They
beseech Ibeir readers by all the glories
of the post and all the hopes (?) of the
future, to rally to the support o* the
stars nnd stripes, endangered and plac
ed in jermardy.'as they suppose, by the
efforts in the Southern Rights men.—
They preach submission in low, whin-
ing tones, and look upon resistance ui
unjtisl and unconstitutional measures as
the height of lolly aud madness. While
they cannot but see that the open object
of the abolitionists and free toilers is to
destroy slavery in the States as Well ns
prevent .its spread in common Territo
ries, they cry peace, peace—don’t,for
the Union"a suite, make any resistance—
you will only incur the greater indigna
tion of these our brethren of the North,
and then your destruction will assured
ly be sudden, overwhelming and com
plete l For the Union's take, don’t en
deavor to obtain your rights—don’t nt-
tempt to obtain justice—don’t try to se
cure your property nnd your possessions
from danger and peril—don’t give our
friends of the North the least uneasi
ness!
Mr. Toombs* words were certainly
prophetic, «• That cry of Union is the
masked battery, behind which the right•
of the South ARB 70 SB assailed.” We
fully agree with him in tbecaution which
be gives to Southern men, to watch the
roan who has his mouth so full of it—
** Let the South mark the man who is
forlbe Union * at all hazards and to the
last extremity," ” Such a man is the
true political Judas—the vile wretch,
who for a little coveted wealth, would
** throw away a pearl richer than all
his tribe.’- ..
Bet- th«f one* masked baUery is un
masked—uncovered and opened to the
view. This hollow cry of the Union
will not avail. None are frightened by
this clap-trap of the submissionists.
«-Tis the eye ofchildhood
That fc*n a jviMtai devil.”
The eye of manhood quails not at
the bug-bear fancy. Neither will the
Southern man, who (cels the deep
wrongs, which have been inflicted upon
bis section, nnd the low depth of degra
dation to which he will be sunk, if they
are oof, resisted 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.—
Whicbdoyou choose, people ofGeorgia T
Resistance to unjust and unconstitution
al measures now, or the entire destruc-
tion'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 extinction of slavery
in the United States.” It is your duty,
-.if'yea wish to preserve your institutions
and year properly, to resist any and nil
measures having this as their end and
object. The late Lille passed by Con
gress, shutting the South otifcol Califor
nia,.virtually passing the baled Wilmot
Proviso over New Mexico and Utah,
and declaring that slaves shall become
. ubeeatbo abb free if taken into the
Itotrict of Columbia? are all aiming at
4bt*, object; Tube .must be resisted.
.In the contest now going on in the
State, t lie re arc. but two great parties—
lor resistance, the other for tame
■ond cowardly submission to wrong.—
\V© arc Tor ibe first. The people must
be for the first, or prc|tarc for the final
abolition of slavebt.
They have abandoned the primary it
tcrcsts of the South, and arc now seek
ing to make •'submission a virtue,” by
which they can change the political re
lations of our State. Let every Geor
gian ask himself if he is willing lojoin
n an unholy crusade against the repub
lican character of our Slate? Will he
yield to ibc.chargc of submission which
Northern demagogues nnd their South
ern coadjutors ate inun'.ingty daring
them to consummate? The conserva
tive mind may look upon the prospect
of our domestic relatious with cool in
difference, nnd treat the masked mea
sures which ore now attempted to de
grade our national reputation ns mere
abstractions; but rest assured, these at
tempts to delude the unweary, and up
root tho social relations of onr State,
strikes deep at the root of the domestic
security between the master nnd slave.
And this is done by the polished in
trigues of a party woo continue to teach
by the doctrine, that to preserve peace
we must continue to submit to the press
ure of our wrongs, until the pillurs of
our State are found tottering to the
ground.
Wc say, beware of the false lights
which are now being hung out, guised
with all the alluring ornaments of love
for the Union nnd undyine faith for the
integrity of dm State. They arc false
lights to decoy the honest husbandman
in the vortex of an unhappy issae. ln-
tegrity and the characteristic spirit and
patriotism of Georgians cannot be sus
tained by submission. A wrong has
been committed—n gross wrong. None

Tim Baltimore Patriot says • that it
bas often beet* remarked by persons fa
miliar with the views ant; purposes of
the violent abolitionists of tho North,
that they seem, many of them, animat
ed rather by hatred towards the owner#
of slaves, than by any strong sentiments
ol compassion fir the slaves them
selves.
This was illustrated in the case of
Chaplin, preferring to steal the slaves of
Southern members of Congress rather
than those of citizens of the District, fcVr
(lie [Nirpose of creating an excitement
which would tend to dissolve tho Union.
Indeed, the whole history of abolition
ism, proves that it lias no compassion
to preserve the Union by submission,
id those who mounted the great war-
horse of sovereign speeches and ming
ling Parliamentary resolves for peace,
until they found iheirempires crumbling
to the dust.
But this attempt is exceeded by the
coarse of the •• submissionist” party in
this State. They-h«Ve not only mount
ed the war-horse to cry God save our
State—which politically means—God
save our party, but tbeir pens and tbeir
swords are drawn alike to hasten
ibe transgressors onward march, and
enforce obedience to the will that would
cloud all our fairest prospects, and sa
crifice the safely of our citizens and
government. It behooves us then to
beware of such party devices, which
can only strengthen the National feder

We a
prepared to renew contracts with
our former advertising patrons. Having rfoen,-
Phoenix like, we intend in future to give our read
ers an interesting sheet. We only ask in return a
hearty support, if our friends consider us worthy of
It. We would here take occasion to remark, for
the benefit of Submissionists here and elsewhere,
that the discontinuance of this paper a few weeks
since was not caused (as has been charged) by the
withdrawal of patronage, in consequence of our
course upon the Southern question; but on the con
trary, our patronage at tbe time of its dfocontinn-
non-intercourse : Of relia- ance, was larger than at any time previous, since
lion by reprisals and by a system of
discriminating taxation. If these or any
other similar measures within the consti
tution, promise success, and can unite
the Convention and the people, they
should be adopted.
2, If these remedies, after examina
tion, are found impracticable or ineffir
cient, let the Convention—tho sover
eignty of Georgia, by a solemn ordi
nance then assert her rights in the ter
ritories, protest against the injustice by
which she has been excluded from them,
welt as against all the otKer viola
tions of the national compact by which
her rights and interests have been as
sailed. Let the Convention by another
solemn ordinance propose to all the
slaveholding Slates, that they, unite
with her in sending. delegates to a com
mon Convention, which Convention
shall meet in the course of the ensuing
year, consult about their common
wrongs, and taktHticu course as in their
wisdom shall be most conducive to their
future security; the honor, the interests
and the rights of the people of the slave-
holding States.
It is not expected even that this Con
vention of all the South, shall adopt as
the remedy, the secession of all the
Southern Slates, till it has presented its
ultimatum to the North and given the
States there, a reasonable lime to re
trace their steps—an opportunity, of
furnishing, if not indemnity for the past,
some guaranties for the future security
of the South. In the mean time, the
States of the Sooth, can be making all
the necessary arrangements, for their
mutual defence and preparing them
selves for any contingency that may
await them.
Here is a platform upon which it ap
pears lo us, every true hearted Georgi
an can and ought to stand; It is one
which ultimately will ensure redress.
It may defer tl, but it is not wise nor
politic, that tbe State should act rashly,
and precipitately. None deny that the
South has been wronged. All who
ipeak what they feel, admit that if she
tamely submit now, she invites and
must expect renewed aggressions, that
ifihcreisno immediate danger to her
institutions, there is danger m the pros
pect. Here then, 4s common ground
upon which extremes can meet; a com
mon platform where the exclusive uni
on man, and the exclusive advocate for
Southern rights can stand, and* where
both can unite it battling for the rights
of the South and the Union as if it came
from tfie hands of our fathers.. Let the

This Convention is not a work of disunion—as
the submissionists are wont to impress upon the
ignorant and unwary with the specious cry of
i"—“ our glorious Union”—but
trery, it is a work of protection of the institution ol
slavery against the fanaticism and cupidity of the
Northern horde, who are trying to crush it. How
they have already, and will in future succeed, his
tory will present to our astonished vision, if we do
not now, by united action, cast off their galling

APPOINTMENTS.
It is not true as stated by a late meeting in this
city, that the Free-Soilers regard tbe origanizationi
of the Territorial Governments for New Mexico,
and Utah as a triumph of the South. So far from
it, they and tbeir presses speak of itas a triumph
over the South. They forbear to attach the “hate
ful Wilmot Proviso,” solely because- they all bold
slavery excluded in these territories by the Mexican
laws. The extract quoted by our opponents from
the “Albany Evening Journal,” complaining that
twenty-five thousand square miles had been giveuV
to slavery, is one of the strongest proofs that they
view all the new territories safe for them under
provisions of the Compromise Bill. That twenty-
foe thousand square miles is the fraction ef Hew
Mexico left-to Texas by Pearce’s bill, although
ber title wi* good up to 42. Had his fraction also
been given to New Mexico, it would not have been
surrendered to slavery in the opinion of ibis Free-
Soil editor. Do not these wise teacher* kpow that
