I think but little good oould be expeoted to re sult from its deliberations, unless the Southern States were generally repre sented. I do not, therefore, recom mend the appointment of delegates to represent this State. In declining to reooinmend the appointment of such delegates, I do not wish to be under stood as expressing a willingness to ac quiesce in the repeated aggressions of the non-elaveholding States. In mv opinion, the constitutional rights of the peopleof Georgia, and of the other slaveholding States, have been violated by some of the non-elave- holding States to an extent which would justify them, in the judgment of all civ ilised nations, in adopting any measures against such offending States, which, in their judgment, may be necessary for the restoration and future protection of all their rights. ' ' , At the time of the formation ef. the Constitution of the United'8tate8, the rights of-the slaveholder were recognis ed, in all the States. No political dem agogue in the-Northem States had then been able to ride into power by denoun cing the people and the'institutions of the Southern States; nor had the Nor thern pulpit been" deseorated by aboli- tion harangues. Since the passage ot the law of. Congress inhibiting the traf fic, most of the illegal importations of slavea have been made by Northern ships. • And It is a well known fact that' the people of the Northern States, be fore the traffic wes inhibited by Congress imported a large proportion of the slaves brought from Africa, and sold them to the people of the Southern States, and recelvod their money for them, which, with it* proceeds, was no <.doubt, invested in shipping, manufoej taring, Ac. This fact was fresh • in the -recollection of the Northern patriots who united with our fathers in forming ' the Constitution; and they did hot hes itate to hind themselves aud their pos- terity or to respect our rights in Slave property. I regret to say ^however, that thecon- duct Of many of their descendants has not been oharaeterised by a like spirit of justice i sinoe, taotty; whose ances tors grew rioh by the sale of slaves to the southern people are now ready to denounce the traffic by which the for tunes they epjoy were made; as immor al and inhuman, and, the Southern peo ple m little better than demons in hu man’ shape, because we continue to hold as property, the offspring of the slaves E urchased from their fathers. Num- ers of them advocate the doctrine that our slaves should be set hreh among us, intermarry with our children, amalga- /mate with ns, and be plaoed in ’all re spects, u pon a basis of perfect equal i ty with our free white population. For the purpose of promoting this object ahdjftodhoing a general revolt of our slaved, a portion of their number, with fire:and sword, have invaded Virginia, 'dmof bCtf Sodthern sister States,, and slaughtered, in cold blood, some of her quiet, law-abiding citizens. It is trne, these guilty criminals have suffered the penalty of the law upon the scaffold; ^ out-the justice of their punishment has ffeeh demed. and their names have been canonized by the abolition masses in the NorthOidStMOi; and even in the pul pit they are frequently referred to as martyrs to the causo of liberty.

They were brave, noble, rous men, who required justice oilmen, and were ready, in return nder even-handed justice to all.-r- ,t time Georgia and Massachusetts alike sovereign and independent Each entered the family of With her faith solemnly pledged other to perform all her Consti- ional Obligations, and to respect all ■ Constitutional rights of- the other, 'he Constitution of the United is a compact in the nature of a .ty. between the sovereign States of. Union,; by which each State made., cession to the others, for the sake of Union, and each bound her faith Cmnly to the others, to do, or to per- t Congress to do, certain acts which os agreed would promote the inter- of the others, and to omit to do nin other acts which might be to injury of the others. Eooh dele- i to the General Government, under qualifications contained in the Con tutionofthe United States, the ex cise of a portion of its .sovereign pow- , for the good of the whole. Geor , when she entered the compact h Massachusetts, conceded impor- t commercial and othfer rights; which ncessions, under the operation of tariff laws, navigation laws, and herwise, have inured greatly to the inefit of Massachusetts. In return for concessions, Massachusetts sol- nly contracted and agreed with Geo , that she would, on her port, (among berthings,) “deliver up’’to Georgia fugitive slaves escaping and going Massachusetts, on claim of the pur- .y to whom the service or labor may be due. No one pretends that Georgia and the other Southern States would have entered into the compact and formed the Union, had Massachusetts and the other northern States refused to give this express guaranty. Not only the plain language of the Constitution itself, but the contempora neous debates, and -the early construc tion upon the Constitution, of which we have evidence in the fact that no law was passed by Congress on the sub ject for several years after the Union was formed, all show conclusively that the understanding between the States was, that Massachusetts, and the other Northern States, pledged their faith to Georgia and the other Southern States, not simply that the Federal Govern ment, by its officers, might arrest fugi tive slaves found in their limits, and deliver thetri up to their owners, but that the people of Massachusetts, and of each Northern State,by their officers, would themselves “deliver them up,’ fugitives from justice. The only difference in the language used in the Constitution, os applicable to the two classes of fugitives, is, that the criminal, or fugitive from justice, is to be delivered up on demand of the Executive authority of the State from which he fled, while the slave, or fugi tive from labor is to be delivered upon claim of the party to whom suoli ser vice or labor may be due. The classes will be found in item two of article fourof the Constitution ot the United States. The clause in reference to. fu gitives from justice, is in these words: “A person charged in any State with treason, felony, or other crime, who shall flee fiom justice, and be found in another Stato, shall, on demand of the Executive authority ot the State from which he lied, be delivered up, to be removed to the State having jurisdic tion of the crime.” The clause relating to fugitive slaves is as follows: “No person held to ser vice or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another shall, in consequence of any law or reg ulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be de livered upon claim of the party to rthoin such service or labor may be due.” It may bo here observed that the same language, “shall bo delivered up,” is used in both cases; and that the Constitution does not, in either case, say that it shall be done by au thority of .Congress. I do not say that Congress may not have concurrent jurisdiction in these cases, and that a law may not be passed by Congress pro viding for the exercise of this powet by the officers of the Federal Government in case a State refuse to do it, and there by proves faithless to its Constitutional obligatoins. As this may|not be cousid oredan open-- question, I do not pro pose to discuss it; but I do say that, under these provisions of the-Constitu- tion, the faith of each State is solemnly pledged to every other State in the Union, to exercise this power* whenev er a proper case may arise; and to de li ve up the fugitives of either class found within her limbs, on the demand or claim being made as provided by the Constitution. What State denies its obligation, under the Constitution, to deliver 'up a criminal who is a fugitive from justice, on demand of the Execu tive authority of the State from which he fled f 1 am aware that discussions sometimes arise about the legal form of the demand, and that a faithless Exec utive may, under some shallow pre text or legal technicality, refuse to do his duty; -but what State, by legislative authority, hat ever yet denied the ob ligation T and what State, not controlled by Abolition counsels, having no regard for plighted faith, will, ior a moment, deny its Constitutional obligation to de liver up a slave who is a fugitive from service, on olaim of the party to whom suoh service may be due f •But bow have several of the States of HT demy our right to hold the *» length, wore I to attempt to point slave, we purebred i 'sissfib saBaapSSfejSW’ ih. „,on«,.. p.,j ujwbrjteej- jys£35j3!5?S,“i: ‘."SIS",," carry the prop- Wm*PS® 1 S!S5SBS»ia^;^. iey soldwfijf It?— kaveshown tbemselve^merh^regardi less of their Constitutional obligations and their solemn pledges of public faith. Massachusetts has . not only failed to enact laws providing for the delivery of fugitive slaves to their owners, but she has, in flagrant violation of every principle of good faith, enacted laws throwing every obstacle in her power in the way of the rendition to their owners, by the officers of the Federal Government, of fugitive slaves found witiiih her limits,. By a statute of that State, approved March 24th, 1843, she commands the Judges and Justices of the Peace not to take cognizance of. the Act of Congress, passed in 1793, for the delivery of fugi tive slaves to their masters, and not to pant the certificates required in cases ;hat may arise under the tiurd section of that'Act, to any.- person who claims any other person as a fugitive slave within her jurisdiction. This certifi cate, under the Act of Congress of 1793, is' necessary to enable the owner to carry back his slave to the State or Ter ritory from which he fled; and it is by that Act made, the duty of the Judge or Justice to act in such case, and to grant the certificate upon proper proof being m'ade. She also enacts that no sheriff deputy sheriff, coroner, consta ble pr jailor, or other officer of tho com mon wealth; shall arrest or detain, to aid in the arrest or detention or imprison- onment, in any jail or other building belonging to the State, or tonriy couti- ty, city, or town thereof, of any person for the reason that' lie is claimed as a fugitive slave. And as a penalty, it is enacted that any Justice of the Peace, sheriff, deputy sheriff, coroner, consta ble, or jailor, who shall offend against the provisions of this law, by in any way acting, directly or indirectly, under tho power conferred by the third sec tion of the Act of Congress, aforemen tioned,shall forfeit a sum not exceeding one thousand dollars, or to be subject to imprisonment not exceeding one year in the county jail. This stntuto only prohibits all officers of Massachusetts from arresting or de taining a fugitive slave, and denies to a eitizen of Georgia the aid of the officers of thut Slate in capturing his fugitive slave found there, but denies to him the use of any jail or building belonging to that State, for the purpose of detaining his slave till he can carry him away ; and also makes it. highly penal in any officer who, acts and gives the certificate directed by the not of Congress ns above stated. This law of Massachusetts effectually nullities, in that Stale, the act oc Congress pussed for the protec tion of the constitutional rights of the people of Georgia and the other South ern States. In 1855, the Legislature of Massachu setts passed, oyer the Executive veto, another statute, extending the provis ions of the act of 1843, to the act of Congress known as the fugitive slave law, passed in 1850 ; and which was in tended to nullify that net. This act also extends to the fugitive slave the benefit of the writ of habeas corpus; and on his application, makes it the duty of the court before which the habeas corpus is returnable, to order a trial by jury ; which is not allowed by said statute in any case except in coses of o fugitive sluve; and also gives the court the power to udmit him to bail.— On the trial, the jury may return n gen eral verdict; aiid they are to have the same discretion that juries have in the trial of criminal cases. If the jury dis agree, the issue may be submitted to another jury, or continued to .the next term, at the discretion of the court. The claimant is required to state in writing with precision and certainty, the facts upon which he relies; and neither -the claimant of the fugitive.nor any one interested in the' alleged obli gation to service or labor, nor the fugit ive himselt, shall be permitted to testify on the trial; and-no confessions, admis sions, or declarations of the fugitive, against himself, shall bo given in evi dence. Upon every question of fact involved in the issue, the burden of proof fdiall be on the claimant; and the tacts necessary to he established must lie proved by the testimony of at least two credible witnesses, or other legal evidence equivalent thereto; and no ex parte deposition or affidavit shall be received in proof, in behalf of the claimant; (it might be in behalf of the negro;) and no presumption shall arise in favor of the claimant; from any proof that the alleged fugitive, or any of his ancestors, had been actually held us a slave, without proof that such holding was legal. I presume this proof could hardly he made to the sat isfaction of an Abolition jury, who deny that slavery is in any case legal. A fine of not loss thun one, nor more than five thousand-dollars, an imprisonment of not less than one, nor more than five years, is imposed on nny one who shall coino into tne Commonwealth, with in tention of removing, or assisting in re moving therefrom, any person in the peace (hereof, not held to service or labor, &c. Under the rules of cvidenco laid down by the statute, with the de lays allowed in tne habeas corpus court, no citizen of Georgia, before a Massa chusetts jury, would ever be likely to be able to establish his claim to his slave: and, therefore, tho penalty im posed by the statute is to he, nnd doubtless was intended to be, inflicted upon every ownerof a fugitive slave who entere the limits of Massachusetts to claim his property. The next section of the statute, in addition to this penalty, gives the lie s'' 0 , the right of action for damages against the person who thus entered the Commonwealth for the purpose of removing him therefrom. After pro viding for the delays, and prescribing the rules of evidence above mentioned, as though the Legislature feared that some owner of a slave might be able to overcome all theso obstacles, and estab lish, even under all these disadvanta ges, bis right to his property, they pro ceed to enact, that any offioer of the Commonwealth, or any officer Of any city, county, town, or district, who shall arrest, imprison', detain or return, or aid in arresting, imprisoning; detain ing, or returning; any peofon for tiie reason that he fi claimed . or adjudged to be a fugitive from service or labor, shall be punished by fine, not less than one, nor more than two thousand' dol lars, and by imprisonment in the State prison, not less than one, nor more than two years. Aud if. the volunteer mili tia of the State assist the owner, even after the slave has been abjmlge-1 to bo his’ property, -tjhey are suojeot, under the statute, to. a like penalty. ’If, therefore; a citizen of Georgia fol lows his fugitive slave to Massachusetts, and after a long, expensive, and vexa tious litigation, obtains in the proper court a judgment establishing his claim to hii, property, and starts to re turn-home'with him, and a-mob ar rests him. while attempting to return, and takes his property from him by force, and any civil or military officer of that State comes to liis relief, and as sists him agaihst the mob to return to this State tvilh his property, such officer for this act, is subject to bo fined' from one-to two thousand dollars, and to be imprisoned in the State prison, (Peni tentiary,) from to one two years. It is further made the duty of the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Council, to appoint in ev ery county in the Commonwealth, one or more commissioners, learned in the law, who are to be dilligent nnd'faith i‘ul in the defence of atiy person who is .ar rested or seized, or in danger'.of being arrested or seized, os a fugitive from service or labor, with power to employ other counsel for the defence; and tho whole costs of the defence, including the attorney’s fees, are to be paid ou‘ of the State Treasury. The statute then declares that no jail or other place of confinement belonging to, or used by the Commonwealth, or any county therein, shall be used for the imprison ment of any one, who shall be accused or convicted of any offence created by either of the fugitive slave acts passed by Congress, or who may be accused or convicted of resisting any process, war rant or order issued under either of said acts, or of rescuing, or attempting to rescue, any person, arrested or detained under any of the provisions of either of said acts, or of nny person arrested un der execution for damages, for assisting a fugitive to escape from service pr la bor. Under this provision of the stat ute, if tho leader of a mob resists a Uni ted States officer in the execution of a process issued under the authority of the acts of Congress, for the arrest of a fugitive slave, and thereby enables the slave to escape,or rescues and takes him from the officer aftei lie has boen arres ted, and this daring violator of the law is indicted in the United States Court, and convicteJ and sentenced to prison for having in the manner above men tioned forcibly taken from a citizen of this State his property; or if the citizen of Georgia sues him for damages in the United States Court, and recovers judg ment, and-has him arrested under exe cution, Massachusetts, in either case, denies the use of her jails for his im prisonment-. it is finally enacted that no pnrt of tliis statute shall apply to so much of the act of Congress as relates to fugitives from justice: showing thut the State re cognizes her Constitutional obligations in the one case and repudiates it in the other. By tlipse statutes, the State of Massa chusetts, not only nullifies the acts of Congress passed for the protection of the Constitutional rights of the people of Georgia,but holds out every inducement in her power to her citizens to violate them, to resist tlleir legal process, and to rescue and take from us our fugitive .slaves, after ail adjudication under the nets of Congress that they are our pro perty. When South Carolina, in 1832, made f irovision for the nullification of certain aws of Congress, known as tho tariff laws, by the operation of which her citi zens wore being plundered by tne Gov ernment to enrich the manufacturers oi Massachusetts, and other Northern Stutes, the.whole Union was convulsed with .excitement, and the use of Fede ral bayonets was- threatened to coerce her in to obedience, it she attempted to carry out- what were denounced is tier treasonable designs. Wlien Massachusetts, in 1843 and ’45, in palpable violation of her duty under the Constitution, passed acts effectually nullifying the laws of Congress enacted for the protection of the rights of the -itizens of the slave States, no outpour ing of indignation wont forth, and no cry of treason to the Government was heard from the NorthernStaiee. But if a Southern man proposed that Massa chusetts be coerced into obedience, or that a Southern State pass retaliatory laws, ho was denounced ns a uisunionist, if not as a traitor. If. nullification in South Carolina, for just cause, was trea son agaihst the Federal Government, what better is it in Massachusetts with out cause 7 Probably the records of no State or nation in Christendom are. more black ened witli the deep s.tain of disgrace, caused by a wilful violation of public faith, than this record of Massachusetts. If 1 use strong language, iV is because I feel that the wrongs done our'State re quire that I speak the truth' without re nervation. While the trade of Georgia is worth to Massachusetts, annually .hun dreds of thousands, if not,millions of dollars, under our tariff' laws, naviga tion acts, and other advantages which Massachusetts derives from the Union, she retains upon her statute book these most extraordinary.laws for the purpose of robbing the citizens of - Georgia of their property which may escape and bo found within her limits. She is inviting our trade, to'which many of bdr citizens look for tbeiy daily bread; bUtf.if our merchant goes there to trado, and'-car ries with him his sluve as a body Ser vant; (which ho lias os. much natural right to do as a citizen OfMusaachuaetti has to carry his baggage with him wR8rt' he travels through Georgia,) the laws of that State lake from iuiff liis proper ty, and refuse to permit him to bring it with him when he returns to~ his home. Suppose A 'similar- treqtyW compact existed between France and Great Brit ain, and the Government and sublets of France should, in Open violation of the compact, rob the subjects of the government’ -of Great Britain, as the government and citisens Of‘Massachu setts do the citisens of Georgia, would tho Goverumrtit of Great Britain submit to it for a single, month ? No doubt, in such cose,-satisfaction would be prompt ly demanded of the. Government of France; nnd, in case of refusal, tile Gnyanmenl ot' Great Britain would re- sor'l’to immediate reprisals, or a prompt declaration of war. Should the fiee‘ men of Gebfgia bodeiiied-hy.her-Icgis- tors thO protection which the crowned heads of Europe never fail to afford to their subjects t If so, our Government is a failure, nnd our boasted freedom is but solemn mockery. A.11 writers on tho subject of govern ment agree chat the duties und obliga tions Of the State or Government, arid the citizen or subject, are reciprocal, ihe State has the right to require from each citizen promptobedieneq. to hrir laws; to command his services in the field of. battle against tlie enemies, whetieyer.in her judgment, it tnriy be ’ necessary 5 to her honor/nml to tux him to any extent which her necessities may' at nny- trine require. These requisitions, Georgia, as a sovereign State, bus. made’, and : may continue to make, on all her citizens. In return "for the sums paid as tuxes, and the services which each citizen ren ders the State, including obedience to all her laws, lie is entitled to demand and receive, from the State full and am ple protection ot' his life, his Ijberty, liis family his reputation, and his property cfevery description. It is the duty of Georgia, therefore, whenever one of her citizens, no matter how humble is robbed of liis property or wrongfully deprived of his liberty, by any other State, to demand prompt and ample redi ess ; and if it be denied to make.the cause of hpr citizens her own cause ; and,if need bo, to exhaust her vast resources und herjgreat energies in a determined effort to redress the wrong. If, therefore, the State of Massachusetts, in open violation of her Constitutional obligations to Georgia! plunders a citizen of Georgia, of his property, and refuses to make redress, Georgia violates every principal Qt' t good faith to her own citi zen, if she refuses either to compensate him from her own treasury, or to com- pell Massachusetts to compensate him A sovereign State should either protect her citizens or cense to claim then-allegi ance and their obedience to her laws. But it may be asked how Georgia can compel Massachusetts to compensate citizens of Georgia who have been rob bed of their property by Massachusetts legislation. The law of nutions furnish es a ready reply. The most distinguished writers on this subjeot lay down . the doctrine that a State., whoso citizens or subjects have been unjustly and illegal ly deprived of their property by anoth er State or nution, which refuses to make reparation ; may law fully make reprisals by seizing the property of tho off ending State or nation, or of its citizens or sub jects wlierover to be found ;. and if jus tice is still refused, by confiscating and delivering to the injured party a suffi cient amount of the property so seized to indemnify him aguiust the loss; and such seizure is declared to bo no just cause of war.
