Let u nOt add this to our ibatne. The noxt idea is that slavery is gaining ground in pabl o opinii n. In one view this ia tyue.— The S nth aro raCl*ficd of it - momlity, and thus our hands are strci.gthcned. come thinking in on at the North aro beginning to believe the fiHM'.e.

Thola.'t idea ia the ren.on quoted above, is, that w\. Lave a majority of tho United States, a:,l that our own divisions defeated us It re quire- charily to believe that flu* argument i ei:rc-ro uud ii. <t in tended to deceive. But we will have that charity and answer it. Was nut every conservative vote in the United State* cart njamet Lincoln* Is it contended that there were e i or votive intn aft o voted for Lincoln* God help such ouservatiem ’ Wo enn't trust such at l*n*t. Did they stay away trom tho pell** That is but iir.lo better, and the largo vote uw# there Hero not many of them at homo.— Now it is Iruo that u large majority, counting the unanimous hioulh, ato against Lincoln.— L uii.urUmatily.t/ie l>trai mu t arniti in Morth vm NVuie* •vsrwhelna the tßinoriflts at tho North, awl the .Southern vote is not made mure fiowcr ful because it i* unammoua.

How can we help oar oclve*, so li.n:* on the ooiutiUttioA remain * as it IF’ And who hop-a ie oimage that.’ Moreover our dim- 1 ~n did wA defeat us, but really strength ened u* at Up- North. Hod we presented only Douglas asn caodidate, the Bellmen aad lireck luridge uwti v. ,uid not have voted for lam. By pr sentuig all three, wo got every rote which, was “pposed to Lincoln, and thou by means of the “ifuioa Tickets,'’ we got them all to vote Against Lincoln. It is said, that *<>um vuted lor Lincoln because they knew the ‘‘Fusion” would ’ loiitonly Breckinridge or Bell. If it is true, . Here is the Georgian who would trust such a pro tended friend as that’ God help us from all ~our divisions did uot deleut us. It was tho fanatical halted of the North which deieated us, ft-.-I t .at gr . 1,.-* vtrongcr at cry day. What is the prooti’ Four years ago Fremont was ruu by this s me party on this same platiorui, and A* wne ihfrutuL New Lincoln U elected by the same party on the t ‘.tae piutlorm, by t umeute mojort turn every Northern State. Gun you believe in , any man who tU* you this ianaticism is dying ‘out.’ A coward may shulter himsell under such a subterfuge. A fool tuuy not have sense iu sou the truth. A blind man muy not desire to sec.— A worshipper of the L’ntou may roluse to believe hi senses But every common *eti#o man must ftOknowiedge that this cloud is gutting bluctter, this tWe is rising higher. Second. —*Tbe second argument in favor of Jo ly .;, that otter a few years we can be better armed and prepared for the contest, wc can have more concert of action among tho Southern Staten, we etui make treatie* with Ragland and France to buy our cotton, we can have ship* to send it off to murkvt. And in the mean while wo will put another plunk In the Georgia platform. A newer.—Ww can oeverbe better armed than we are now, for we are ‘As beet armed people in t'n. irorld, and onr opp ineiita are the tcorti. Now lor the proof. Then; aro one hundred and ten thousand voter* la Georgia. There is hardly a home in Georgia where there is not at lean one rife or ihelgem —you know this Is triio. At the North there i* nut one to families. Why? UccauM they have o forests and no game, and have no nerd of then* arm*. But this is not all. The United State* Government, we are told, have about 2<)®,bhd stands of arms—of these more than three-fin ‘'l nr? uo l etored in Southern Arne main. In the Arsenal at Augusta there are ndw tum t■>/-three thrueand of the last and )c**t made. At .e Anoxia! at the junction ot tb* Flint and Chat tahoochee river-* there is thirty-eight thoueand. — Together these mako tixty-ona thousand Geor gia hertelfhaiin hor Arsenals and Volunteer T HK U NION OF THK STATK S, ANO THK 8 OYK RK\G NTY 0F TIIK ST ATK S. Companies at least .fifteen thouoaml were. Thus we buvo now nearly eighty tbousaud of the best muskets iu tlio world—more than to urm every man who we can bring into the field - Moreover, in these Arsenals is a good supply of Aumnitlon: and Huv Brown hasprovideilalready r/ty theutand dull art u >rih mart. The Legislature has just given to him one million of dollars to buy more. When will we ever fco hotter ai med ? WViif tin tilnfiec tno inauguration of Liiicalrimui where trill three or me mid this ammunition ?We have Leon told we will resist his moving them away. That is civil war at onoe, and tins \vo should avoid, lid us take them now, whi'eVe can do ■so peaceably and low/nVy by seceding from the Union. The next idea is, wo can have more contort among the Southern States by tlolay. What more do we want v Trey ro all aroused now. 1 hoy ure looking t*- Georgia as the Etapirs Slate to see what she will do. Who doubts that Carolina, and Florida, and Alabama, and Mississippi, and Arkansas, are ready f r secession ? In fact they si re tar ahead of us. Sr viral of them trill be cut >f the I'll io'i beforeOnr Convention nicety. Shall Georgia wait to bo dr.iT-redont nfterthem tied forbid’ The next idea is, we can make treaties with England ahd Franco to buy cur Cotton. W’hat i\u kb*n! In tne first place, as long ns wo nro in t'.o such treatfiw Shall we Tmltato the North by violating the VoitotitatioQ Rftd pcrjcritig our selves? Never! never! Lei us throw Union ifr.d then wo urwfrce to make troadies EngMntf Mnd France nro obliged to hare onr cot ton. Four millions of people in England get their daily bread from oar cotton. Two months without our cotton would overturn Queen Vic toria's throne. Is it not twaddle to talk about waiting to make treaties with them to buy oureotton* “And wc can then have tdiiiw? to eOnd it to market"—‘is the next idea in thiaplcu for delay. Where are the ships that now carry it'.’ Every body knows that the English, French and Dutch vessels carry It across the water. What will stop them from carrying it? TC the North tiled to dn it, she would have a war with each of these nation* 1n loss than a month. Are wo to stop until we lmild ships? Good Ltml deliver n* from such advisers. TSy that lime wo are bound hand amt foot. Wo w .u!d have cot. ton to carry, for unr i-l tve* will be all free before that day ul>hic <i . Lut the last grand idea in this plea for delay is to put “another plank iti the Georgia Plat form.” That p inti iris to be, “riiis war on slave ry must cc .no. ’’ Jins sounds very large and very tine and (when oeooinpanicd by a prepoai tiou to scud volunteer Poiuponics after fugitive alavo?, who if they eon’t hml the ••nigger” shall “seise the State,") loeka like lighting. Now iu Georgia wo have great.ooutideuce; in platforms butlittb*. nnJ especially u platform madn by one people to control the action of another peo ple. It the Abolitionists Would get together and say “this war on slavery ceaie,” we could eii'lowtaait wtmtthcy meant, and we might have a little hope, not much. But when flaarcholj. era say mi, we cna sun but oueof two I Liny a, either wc will give lip tkaslavcs ,anil thus clop it, or wo will meet the enemy and whip I hem. Hut to put a plank, in the Georgia I’iatftirui, and export the plank to give us pcaee.is as ridiculously non stnsieal, os it w maiafoktly another name for Bubmissioa. Sugar coated pillajure Jj-athar ‘new in the medical world, but arc an old prescription in the political. Submission, dry ms would bo an metic to Southern freemen, but coated over with the sugar of the Georgia PlutiWiitjoi ac companied with copious druughtr* of terrible threat* of what vr trill do heria/ter, are suppos ed by some political doctors to be a capital pro aeriptfon to nßaytho vengeance of an indignant pcple. Third Andtbci cla- .of Lni.oi men plead for deloy, lor Ibo reason that it will titaldc us t>> pass retit It at->> y liner, by which they say wo can drive out Northern made goods and stun the collection ol debts duo to the Northern men, und l.vy reprisals <m „. irthern property, und refuse ) to punish orimea against Northern men. and thus wc cull bring tl.cin to their seiufel. A*■>*>—To conscientious Southern meo, it is enouah to say that so long as wc remain iueidc the Lnion, and are sworn to support .the Consti tution of the United States all tuvh latcn arvun • o,i -ilntioMil a. and void. Northern Judges are t enough to enforce uncousHtutioiinl be is turned ut ..t otiiec. But Southern Judges are not so base and no Southern man ought to o\poet our Court* to council ptijuiy even to get uta \ ankee. They won’t do it, and you arc wasting time and will excite ridicule by attempt ing it. Moreover, all such laws injure our own pen- pie aiul not the North —we pay tho tux at last. And if you do injure tho Northern merchant who is he? Your fritted! Tbo real abolitionist you never strike. You exasperate him by your show of vengeance,* lido lie laughs at your impoteutttruggle*. No, Georgians, if you iatend to submit, put as much manhood into your submission us possible. Don’t make faces like a spoiled child, nor “spit, back ngam” like a cowardly school boy, but ray like mun wc will bow Our neck* to the yoke of Abolition rule, because we fear the evils which environ a different course. Fourth —A Hot her reason given for delay i*>, that the opposition to Lincoln have/our majori ty in the benate and seventeen in tho House of Representatives, and be, cooxequMitJy, cannot do us any harm for two years to come. Air. D"Ugt><H,we te,urgoe thi* argument on the South and >lr. StepLcmi echoes it. Answer- .%uth Caroliuaand Alabama will cer tainly secede, and there goes your lour majority in the Senate, and the meet of your rwcnUaii in the House. What next? But suppose they don’t. It is u great mistake tu suppose that Lin coin can do us no harm without, thoir aid. ilo can disarm us by cairying every musket into the Northern Arsenals, lie eau dismantle our forts and substitute for the latest, arms the oldest and most inefficient, lie can appoint Abolitionists a* commissioners ami marshal* to carryout the iugitive slave law and what a dead letter it wdi then become. But we are toJd the Senate can refuse to ratify them when appointed. Very good. What then ? There will be no eommiasiouers and bo rnurrhal*. The Senate hun uo ratify mg power over remoKoln. And we shall have fugitive mvh law und nobody to eeceoute it. Whcro is youc Georgia platform now? 1 he same is true of your postmasters and your cuftoiu bonne officers lie can thus stop your mails and abut up your ports. But these wise •tuteaiuen tell us ho con do us no harm. More over, ho has command of the army and navy, cun quell insurrections of % hiim against blanks, us well as bluckn against unite*. JJui why continue. I* our President h cypher? Whatever power then he has will he turned against ns. Thus* are the principal reu.rons given in bahull of delay. Let as nee now if there are not power ful rtflsoewtfor immediate action, Ist. Aft- * the 4th March c* rc dinamnd ni we have already shown, and what i# worse the arms are pluced in the bands of our enemies, 2ud. After the 4th March the Army and Navy and the whole power of the Federal Government are placed iu tho huodt; of mtr enemies. Aro we not ruad, if we intend to resifU at oil to wait un til they are thus strengthened ? Is not dr lay •u b mi* si on ? 3rd. By g’ itig al once wc can lit- ready to mct the shock ii Line An uud his horde attempt to co erce us. Moreover many in tho Army and Navy will js>iu us before ho gets into power; ho will never have bet ii inaugurated a* J'under t o>< r ue, aud bunco wo -hall owe no allegiance to his Gov ernment. *dth. Already we are pronounced by the Aboli iktiLi.'i to be ‘•towurdr,” ‘‘oulhes,” “blusteres” and “liarsalready have their newspapers prophesied that WO “would eat dirty and “sneak out. The slightest evidence of hefltHtion now will incfeasc their confidence iu themselves and their contempt fojc us. Confidence in a laide in worth more than courage. •>tb. Wearc degraded and disgraced if wc re main Longer in iLo Uuiou. W bat great words have wo raid uud wbatiterriblw threats have wo made? Our enemies have all the while said there was no danger in us, \v wore mere brug garls. So", their loading papers ray, “if we dare to accede we shall bo whipped aye whipped into submission.” Aro we not disgraced it we submit or delay ? 6th. Delay break* thesphit of rour young and gallaut intn. Already we heur them say “Geer gia always compromises, she will do nothing.”— What D the result ? Some, aye many ofyour nt blcst son* will be found lighting the battles of Koulh CaioUiqx aud Alabama, and your own St.ite depopulated of its best eitixens. 7th. Delay will Inevitably produce civil war in Georgia. Many gallant Go< rgians cannot and will not submit to those Abolitionist*. In their pbrer.ay they will forget law and order, uud will seize the forts and arsenals and public property of the Unitua States. C'dljalon with the Federal Government fallow*. You and I will take sidea, you for law and order, and I for over zealous brethren, and tha result is war—eivil tear —hero in Georgia. COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, MONDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1800. Sth. tin now and wc will go out peucoubly. No one will molest tin. Wait until Lincoln is inau gurated and our sccentdon will probably bring on war.

Uut oqr opprewora aro the very Apostles ot Liberty and they truly bring liberty with them. Uut it is liberty to the slave. They will not puss a law in tho teeth of the Constitution declaring our slave-free. This is not the game of the sticak ii _'. crafty, jrily free uoiler.

COBB, £S(|. ; Kin ned tn the llall of the House of llepreeent utivfs, Monday livening;, Nov. 12, 1 h(>. Gentlemen : l must return to you my thunks for the courtesy you have extended to me in opening tin* chamber lor rny use, and honor ing my remarks by your presence. An Ido not pretend to be the sugacious politician, or the experienced •talesman, (having never, in seventeen year*, made a political speech.) I can attribute this courtesy only to nil honest desire on your part to hear what an humble cit izen may say at this important crisis in onr na tional affairs. My crude opinions may excite the ridicule of some, and the pity of others, hut remember 1 claim no infallibility for iny bead, but simply sincerity for my heart. Those of y.mi who know me can bear witness that I have never iu tho slightest degree interfered in past political contests, and hence 1 have no disap pointed ambition to satisfy —no personal wroftgs to avenge—no party animosity to ap pease While you, und others, have been fen gaged iu Urging die claims of the respective candidates fur the Presidency, who received your guff races, 1 have beeu publishing in Nor thern newspapers,article after article, arguing, reasoning, urging, persuading, yen, beggiug ■ Mir Northoru fellow citizens not to force upon the South the terrible issue of Disunion , or Pm/ionur. And, candidly, can l say to-night that i would have illuminated my houe with • •iithusKiHin and shoutings, had either one of the candidates urged in Georgia been elevated t-> the Presidential chair. Surely then, my friends, you can yield me my cltiun tu sincerity of heurt. And now I ad mit allegiance to no party. I propose to serve no party cads. The truth is, there are no par ties in < reorgia. Heretofore, wo have been di vided on question* of National—not State pol icy—and eftoh of us have claimed heibre tho people national organi /.ations and n nutional pinttorm. The election of last week gave to the wind* the clhims of us all ;i ml Democrats ;ttul Americana -IMI, mid Breckm ridg.; men have all to oon/ess thi* mghr, tfitit ns national ormtniaations, we arenttorly novv erless, and our national pint lor ins have been with equal scorn rejected. Why cling then longer to the empty names, the iiamca so pro ductive of discord and hatred To-night let ns bury tho liatehul of controversy. The par- ‘ tie* are all dead, let them be buried, and with them let ns Bury all the political and personal animosities which they have engendered, and , .is brothers, iih Iriouds, as Georgia's sons, let i us come and lake counsel together, how we hIuiII avenge Her wrongs, promote her prosper ity and preserve her honor! In times like these, passion should not rule the hour; culm and dispassionate deliberation should be brought to the consideration of eve ry question. liven the qniek beating pulsa tions of hearts burning with a sense of injuries should he commanded to “ho still*’ while we survey the past, fully appreciate the present, and peer thoughtfully into the future ; avoid ing the impetuosity of raahnoas, and the timid ity of fears aa well, let us invoke all our hu muu wisdom, and light nlso from on High, to guide us in our decision. But once decided let us ad, and net like men, men who nre de termined to do or die. It is not necessary lor me in addressing this audience to rehearse the history of those acts whi’ h have so often stirred up our heart* to mutiny, and mantled our faces with shame. - You know them as well us L-you have felt them ns deeply too. Nor shall l presume you are less patriotic, or need my oOUnaelliog voice to induce you to remember your homes, or your Slate. The practical issue before us u ihotriumpli of the Sectional Black Republican Parly oft he North, aud the duty of Georgia in the preaent emergency. To this I address my self. /.< the election of Lincoln a sufficient ground for the dissolution of the I'nion! This may he vieweu Imtli as a legal and po litical question. Asa legal question it resolves itsell into this. Has he been elected according to the forms uud spirit of the Constitution ? Formally he has been so elected, when he is so declared by llm Congress of the f luted States And legally he has been so elected, ifthe States casting their votes for him aro en titled to be counted in the Klectorai College; nine of these States, however, casting a com bined vole of eighty five elector* have by their local leg station nullified n constitutional act of Congress, and refused to comply with the obligation* of the compact'when the same arc distasteful to the prejudices of their An a lawyer, 1 am prepared to say that parties to such a contract, who huve thus violated it* provisions when onerous to them, are not en lit ed to its privileges when demanded by them. A rid that so long as the ‘‘Personal Lib erty Bills” disgrace the Statute Books of these ’’Slate*, their electoral vote* should not bo counted hi the Electoral (’ollege. But who shall decide upon this question ‘ The Consti tution is silent, no provision being made for such a contest. Tho mode of counting the votes is specified, but no power of decision uiven to either the Senate or the House, or the General Congress convened. It is an omis moii tn the bind a mental law. Who hai! de lude ‘ The §upremc Court ? They have al roady virtually declared these acts violative of the Constitution, bat our opponent** and op. pressor* “spit upon” such decisions. Bhalf it be decided by force of arms in Washington ( ity ‘ Then civil War must begin there to end only by the subjugation of one section of the Union. No, rny friends, in the absence of any tribunal, the right to decide is one of the “ re serve! right* f the .States, and Georgia lisa the privilege of declaring to-day that for her self she decides these vote* illegal, and this edict ion unconstitutional. But in another view of this legal question, this man is not chosen as our President. Ac cording to the spirit of the Constitution, these States have violated its provisions in this election: First. Thi* Constitution wa* made for white men —citizens of the I nited States; thi* Union was formed by white men, and for the protec tion and happiness of their race. It ia true, that the framers gave to each State the power to declare who should be electors at the ballot box in each State. But the fair implication was, that thi* right of suffrage should be given to none but citizens of the United .States.— t an it he supposed that our fathers intended to allow our national elections to be controlled by men who were not citizens under the National Constitution / Never, never ! Yet to elect Abrahum Lincoln, the right of suffrage was ex tended to free negroes iu Vermont, Massachu setts, Ohio, New York and other Northern States, although the Supreme Court has de clared them not to be citizens of this nation.— Yes! Our slaves aro first stolen from our midst on underground Railroads, and then vo ted at Northern ballot-boxes to select rulersfor you and ma. The memory of onr father* ia slandered when this ih declared to be accord ing to their Constitution. llut, Secondly, The spirit of the Constitution has been violated iu another particular in this election. Ours is n Republican Government, based upon the democratic principle that the majority have a right to ride. That is an an omalous Government in history or philosophy, wliiohprovides tor or allows the permanent ad ministration of its powers iu the hands of a popular minority. Surely such in not ours.— Yet it is true, that counting the unanimous votes ol the Southern Slate* and the large mi noritid in the \orth against the Pluck Repub licans, a majority amounting to perhaps n mil lion or more voles, have declared against A bra ham Lincoln for the next Presidency. i not this according to the forms of the Constitution/ l may be asked. 1 answer it is. Hut will my objecting friend answer, it is according to if-, spirit/ lisay be told that othefe Chief and trntos have been elected by popular in in critic*. This I admit, but never against such an over whelming majority, and never by a sectional party based upon the prospect and avowal of a continuation of the saiue result in every ftiturc election. The truth is, that we have lived to see a suite ofthings never contemplated by the Iraiuers of the Constitution. At that time we wore nil slaveholding States—u homogoueou* people, haviug a common origin, common iiv monies- u common cause, common hhpc* -a cominou future, common destiny. The wisdom even of our fathers did not stigfNH u future When we should be a distinct people, having different social organization*, different pursuits, different memories, different hopes, different destinies. And hence, while the Constitution is toll of cheeks to’proteot tho mi nority from the sudden and excited power of a majority, no provision was suggested tor the protection of the majority from the despotic rule of an infuriated, fanatical, sectional minor ity. The experience of eight yours in the Pre sidentlal chair, and the almost more than hu man wisdom of Washington, gave him a glimpse of the fatal omission thus made in the Constitution,and hence wc find in that wonder ful document—his Farewell Address i note of solemn warning against such a perversion of the Government, by the formation of sec tional parties. What was thus dimly shadow ed to his prophetic ken, is the fact ol io day, and will be history to morrow. Is it not ac cording to tbftform ol the Constitution / l am asked. 1 answer it is. Tell me, is it in ac cordance with the spirit and Ira mo work 1 Third, The preamble to the Constitution of tho L'nitml States recites the six lending ob ject* for which u was adopted, viz., “ to form a more perfect Union -establish justice- -ensure domestic tranquility—provide for tho common defence—promote the general welfare, and se cure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” Hud l the lime, it would be profitable to take each one of these object* and show how fanaticism had perverted this Gov ernment from each and every oneol tlie ob jects ofits organi/.ation-—how ••the Union i hearts and of hands” which existed prior to the adoption of the Constitution, hud given way to sectional jealousies und mutual hatred how justice had been denied under the quibbles of executive traitor*, outraged both on the bench and in the jury box -how the common defence had beeu construed into local advantage, und j the general welfare been found in the Reccing of our producers for the fattening of their manufacturer*. But these results are i.ot specially attributable to the event wc now con consider—the election of Lincoln—-and hence, I call your attention only to two of these ob jects the ensuring of domestic tranquility, and the recuriug of the blessing* of liberty Recur with me to the purting moment when you lelt your fireside*, to attend upon your public duties at the Capitol. Remember the trembling hand of a loved wife, us *h<> whi* pered her fear* from the incendiary and the assassin. Recall the look of indefinable dread with which the little daughter inquired when your returning footsteps should be heard. And if there be manhood ia Von, tell me if this is the domestic tranquility which this “glorious In inn” has achieved. Notice the anxious look when the traveling podlnr lingers too long in vfi'.ai iini xi ihu door w ith the servant who turns the boll the watchful gir/e when the slave tarries long with the wandering artist who professes merely to furnish him with a picture—the suspicion aroused by a Northern mail conversing in private with the most faith ful of your negroes, and tell me if peace and tranquility are the heritage which this ( uum has brought to your fireside*. Take tip your daily papers, and ace the report of insurrec tions in every direction. Hear the telegram rend which announces another John Brown raid. Travel on your Railroads anti hear, ns I did this day, that within seven miles ol this Capitol, a gang of slaves have revolted from their labor, declaring themwelves free by virtue of Lincoln's election- and say if such fruits as these grow on the good tree of domestic Iran quilily. Mark me, my friends. I have no fear of any servile insurrection which shall threaten our political existence. Our slaves are she most happy and contented, l>e?l fed and I.rtf clothed mid best paid laboring population in the world, and I would add, also, the mint faithful uud least feared. But a discontented few here and there, will become the iucetidin ry or the poisoner, when instigated by the on scrupulous emissaries of Northern Abolition jets, and you and I cannot say but that your home or your family may be the first to greet your returning footsteps in ashen or iu dent I . What ha* given impulse to these fears, anil aid and comfort to those outbreaks now, but the, success ofthe Black Republican’ -the election of ALruhain Lincoln ‘ I need hardly consume your time ia advei ting to the clause asto “ securing the blcsMiigs of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. What liberty have wo secured ly the Cousti tutioii of the United States’ Otir per ■ nil liberty i* protected by the broad icgis oi’Geor gia’s sovereignty. To her we never appealed in vain.

Tlu is “ glorious” liberty secured by a “ glorious Union.” And tho election of Liuc.lu l.y a purely sectional vote, und upon a platform of avowed hostility to our rights and our liberty, is the cap-stone, nay, the last mupn i dun to. securing to us these wonderful privilege'. Is not all thi* according to the forms of the Don ntitution 1 lam asked. I answer it ii. But 1 tell me, UnioD-loving friends, is this its spi'iU Fourth, Equality among the Stales is the fundamental idea of the American Union.- Protection to the life, liberty and property id the citizen ia the corner stone und only Cud of Government in thu American mind. Ijouk to the party whose triumph Is to be coiisurumu ted in the inauguration of Lincoln. The ex elusive enjoyment ofali the rommon territory ofthe Union, is their watchword and party cry. The exclusion of luilfthe State* ofthe Union has been decreed, and we nre culled upon to record Xhajiat. Will you do it, men of Geor gia ‘ Are you socravan so soon ! But protection, whence comes it to us 1 Dare you to follow your fugitive into a Nor thern State t*>arrest him 1 The assassin strikes you down/ and ao law avenges your blood, your property is atolun every day, oud the very attempt to recover it subjects you to the insult’ ofthe North, and the smile of derision at your folly, at home. A province of Great Britain now covers with the protection of her Bag million* of dollar* of your property and mine. Let a fishing smack from New Bedford betaken into* Canadian port and the cry of British in solence resounds through thi; Ihihl. A de mand for redress is made, and the threat goes with it to let loose the dogs of war 1 And yet no Administration ofthe Government lum ever yet been hold enough even to o*k for the ro*- tituton of onr property. Nay, more, so cowed have wo become that no llepresuntniive from tha South has ever even complained of the wrong. But there issouiethiug more valuable than properiy, more dear than life. It is the good name a father bequeathed us, and the in heritance we hold dearest, to decend to our children. How is it protected ‘ On the floor of Congress we are taunted with our Weakness and our cowardice, and all tho crimes of tile calendar, murder, arson, rape, robbery, all compare not iu enormity, we nre told by our own ruler* and law-makers, with that greatest of all sin*, that most horrible of all crimes, thu holding of slaves’ Where then is our pro tection, aud for what owe we allegiance to thi* Government ? Georgia extends her sovereign arm over us, and our lives, our property, our liberty and Viur reputation ar sale undur|h*r protection. Loyalty and fidelity have reason for their growth and food lor their sustenance when we tarn to this good old Commonwealth. But when we look to this Union—oh, tell mo— why owe wc allegiance to it / Lung have I loved it. Hlindly have l worshipped it. I hade selfishness avaunt! when my heart turned toward the Government of my Fathers. I re membered only that it cam# from the minds and hearts ol Washington, and Henry, and Adams, und Pinckney, and Madison, and Rut ledge.

Asa legal question, lam com pelled to decide that the election of Lincoln i* in violation of the Constitution of the Uuited Stales.

Truly, my friends, in the words of inspiration. ‘ the loiter killeth, but the spirit gi vetli life. To the spirit then wo iniiat look, and a violation of that spirit renders this elec tion unconstitutional. I come now to consider this question in its yulitieul light, and it rise* iu importance much übnvo the more legal question. I mufltooufoHs that tho mere election of a can didate to tho l’residency, in a manner legally unconstitutional, doe* not in my judgment, justify necessarily a .Resolution of iho Union. Thu wise man und the statesman, to say nothing of the patriot, wiH always weigh well whether “it is heifer to hour the ills wc have than ily to other* that wu know uut of.” And, hence, arises tho po/itieal question, (foes this election justify mid require a di.-ruplioii us tho tics which hind Us to the Union? As much an f would dislike the triumph of a purely sectional candidate upon a purely sectional platform, l am free to say I should hosiiato oven thou to risk tho consequen ce a of a dissolution, provided that sectional plat form iiuii up tin ineurt not vital in (henwelei *, nr men temporury in their nature. Such, would I cnocit i! to ho protective tariffs and homestead hill*—tho acquisition of Territory—peace or war with foreign powers. And if the election of Lin o In, unconetitutional though it may he, was upon a temporary issue, or a question not vital in importance, I should hesitate to decluro it ground for disunion. Rut my countrymen, 1 cannot so view the triumph of Black ltepnhli ci.nisni. It is n question vital in itself, und by no means of a temporary character.

The bloody Crescent of the false pmpbet never ceased to behold the gory victims which Islam claimed, uutil on rnauy u buttlu held tho redemption in blood came to rescue the children of Faith. The Ganges bore in it* tur bid wafers the innocent victims of the delusion of mothers, until Britain assumed the position which God held to Abraham oil the Mount, and Btayiug the murderous anus, bade the well-spring of a mother’s love once moro to gush from a mother’* heart.

Kven in this election, liavo not the Southern parties offered candidates of every shade of opinion, to this Northern horde, and have they not nil boon rejected with scorn ? Did not Bell and Douglas and Breckinridge, onu or the other, agree with them on every question except Slave ry ? Why were they rejected ? Herculean efforts have boon made. Argument und eloquence have bcHu t tlcred lavishly, aud money almost as lav ishly, to bid off and buy np this motley crew.— hcorn, contempt, insolence aud contumely have been the only answer we have received. Can uny iiiaii shut his eyes and alill cry thu sj'ren souk, “ILnpo on!

Whattlen is our remedy ? Shall it be the boy’s redress of recrimination ? the bully’s redress of brupgodu cio or bt.acting ?or the manly freeman'* redress of ilulufienduueu ?

Their counsel deserves attention.— Their very doubts arc entitled to emiaidorat.op. Let mu then trespass a lii'lu longer on your time, to answer tho question, shall wu delay \ What aro their hope*, and on what are they based ? I have shown that, wo cannot expect this fanatical spirit to die, or be appeased. What then shall wo look tor ? From one, 1 bear tbo ■nggoatiuo that pet hap* Lincoln may betray his p irty, and like Fillmore prove to be a conserva tive. Ob, shame! shame ‘ shiitnc.! Is it eomo to this, that the only hope of Georgia js in the treason ui an Abolitionist. False to his friends, cun you trust him ? False to hi* friends, cun you reward him? Can even the ccitßolutioni of conscience bo bid 1 opt as an inducement to a perjured traitor? Rut suppose ho did prove trait or, wlmt then ? Would not these blood hounds only seek in Seward, or Sumner, or Hale, a less scrupulous and more faitful servant? And would not the very mortification'of disappointment only whet more keenly their appetite for blood ? From another, 1 heur the suggestion that tho Senate can rolusw to ratify hi* appointments, and thus j he will bo without u Cahiuet, and without an Ad ministration. What is this, my friends, but rev olution ami anarchy? We destroy one Govern ment without providing another. And more, aud worse, wc require our Souators to disregard their oath* to (he Constitution, and while within the temple to pull down its pillar*. True, like Samp sou, the) tnny destroy thu Philistines, but like Sampson, too, we shall share their fate. Better far, peacably to withdraw, and let Gmir God smde on them with prosperity, lr He wills it, whilo our Gcd shall bless us, who doing no man harm, seek only to worship in our own holy hill. From another, I hear that we have both jiou *'•* of Congress, and hence, Lincoln is powerless. How blindly mistaken I Tho Executive brunch ofthe Government ulone can protect u*. The President only can cail out the Army and Navy. The President only can appoint Commissioners, nod Marshals, and Judge*, to execute the Fugi tive (Slave Law. Tho President only can protect us from armed invasions uud seoret incendiaries. 1 admit that It is so feeble that we can hope but little from it, even with a friend ns President— with a foe, what can wo hope? But 1 am told, suppose Lincoln, iu his inaugural, pledgee him self to carry out there luws. I would not believe him on his oath.

Ah! tho cry of “Union” ha* been a tower ot strength, and I fettr that aotno, yes, many, fearing the effect on the people, will stand by th* watch word after the citadel is in ashes. Hut, gentlemen, such leaders do injus tieo to our people. They were loyal to their Gov ernment while it was their (iovornmant. When it became the mere tool of th<dr enemies, they will spurn it with a unanimity which will over whelm their slanderers. None of these argument, or suggestion* carry conviction to my mind.

My friend*, there ia .Linger in delay.

The stern, unyielding look el’ the bravo man makes tlio snarling cur sneak hack to hmhcnuel, but let tho cheek hie nek bit fore tho foe, and tho lip quiver, and tho knees shake, and do you wonder thftV when you stand your ground, the toieerwhfo cur is biting at your heel*? Delay, therm ore, invites aggression mid destroys nil confidence iu our courage. Let Georgia speak uow, and a Northern K giment will never eross the border lute. Lot Georgia delay, and they will make scourges to whip ibe cowards to obedience. Delay is dangerous, 10---caO*o ---caO*o now, we have a; tho North a respectable body of men who sympathize with u* in our op pression, und will not aid tho oppressor. They are molting awuy liko frost-work before the 1 tim ing *oal of this fnu.it ml sun, and ero lung their own thinned ranks, and their iuovitabfo contempt for onr timidity will rcndoT them pow erless as a barrier to Northern aggression. De lay is dangerous, becauau uow tho army uud the navy are in the bumis of an Administration that rcoognif.es our right to withdraw. On the 4th day of March next, the powerful arm of the Ex ecutive will l* wielded by u fno as unrelenting a* he is cruel. Delay is <inngorouu, hecuuteit damoralues our position—takes awuy from our cause iis justice in the eyes of tlio world, ener vate* the arms that nro now ready to rise in onr defence, and chills the hearts that aro now burning with patriotic zeal. Delay is dangerous because it keeps open our territory to the emissa ries of the North—teaches ns to weigh our honor in the selfish rcules of interest, and drive* hack to dio, the warm outgushiug feeling* of wounded hearts. Shall I he told that the country is prosperous, that the crops uro good, that money is plenty, and the people feel uot the irou heel of tho op pressor? 1 will not answer by predicating a financial crisis, and ruin, and distress, and the crash of hard times upon u*. I will not allude to the difficulties already felt in financial ctrch s, and the dutrui-t, which ltku the Barometer, ever indicates thu coining sturni.

The coward tuny.quuke—a few lux uriating iu ease may shut their eyes to their danger— many may ho deceived, but tho great heart of fhtH great peophj will respond to tho voice of reason, to tha cull of patriotism. Khali Ibo told to wait for an overt aet? What act do you expect? What act will bo overt? Aro not tho nullifying Parsi-nul Liberty Bills of ntno Ktutes overt ? Are not the daily thefts of our negtoM by tmdergroaad railroad* overtf — Aro not thu uatioual theft* of our national terri tory overt? Was uot tha John Brown raid, in vading tho Territory ofthe South, overt? Is not tbeelection of there socfiunnl candidates over a broken constitution, overt! What is the overt act you wish? Does any matt expect there wily, crafty lyurs-m wu t, to declare the Constitution a nullity—or to march with bold tread over ita fragment.-? They can bind u* hand and foot, and soil us into slavery, and never commit such an overt aet, aud every state mun in tbg country can explain to you thu process. Shull I lie told that the present is an abstraction, and not a timl Issue? The man that urge* that,would no bur.i in • - nvinoe that, the abolition of slavery in thu District of Columbia is not an abstraction, because there aro very few sluves there. Would h not nsk you, will you destroy this “glorious l ulon” for that small patch of ground? Is not the repeal of the Fugitive blare Law an abstrac tion, because wo all kuow ihut even now it is almost u deud letter? And would not tho objec tor again ring psens to this Union? Tho Wiltnut I‘roviao is an abstraction,because climate and the law* of God have forbidden the negro to leave the warm sun of tho South. Uh! where is tbe overt act for which you aro asked to delay? I can imagitio nothing else than the nsrarein'* knifo at. your throat, and the incendiary's torch under your dwelling. My friends, delay i* dangerus, for ere long you will bo imprisoned by walls of free States around you. Your increasing sluves will drive out tho only rucethat cun move—'he white* —and tbo masters who still cling to their (inhor’s grave*, will, like tho scorpion in a ring of fire, but sltng tbouiselves to die. This is your destiny in the Umon. Oat of it, you have a gloriou” soil—immense natural resources—cot ton, the great peace-maker of the world—the best social and political oiganixatious on earth a people firm, Dec and independent—tho emilo of the God wo worship illumining our path, and the voice of God naying, ‘ Occupy till I come.” But the last aud most potent uiguiueut to tuy miud in favor of immediate action, is, that by it alone can we preserve peace. I think I havo shown that we have uo danger to l’ear from ser vile insurrection, nor from Northern buyout t. — Wheucc, then,is tho d.ntgei? At home, among ourselves, with Goorgiu as the theatre, anti our brethren as the victims. Suppose wo nre equal ly divided. A t-rnall majority will deeitio the question.

But you know, un-1 I know, that there are zealous, wurm npirtis who would rather grace a traitor’sgallow* than to wear tho budge of a slave. Collisions between them and the gencrul guvernmeul are almost inevitable. What then? Will this arm bo ruisod to strike them down? Never, no never! Will you stand by and see them gibbeted on Federal bayonets, or sau te need by Fcderul Court ? I havo tp<>kcn for myself; unswer now for youiselves.
