GOVERNOR OP GKOEQ1A.
Concluded. .
The law of nations does not, in ' such
case/ confine the injured State to
seikure of the publio' property of the
offonding State, but authorises the seit-
ure of the property of any individual
citizen or subject of the offonding State.
As between Stales, the law, ; in such'
case, considers all the property Of every
.citizen or subject as the property of the
State to whioh he belongs and subjects
it all, or any part ot it, to seizure for
such injury, done by the State, its justi
fies reprisal. If an injured State makes
reprisal, and seizes the property of a.
>.f the onenain," 1
its owncit:
J jfor'the' 1
such citizen or subiobt, it is no’
of tbe right of private proi
the citizen or subject of the
State, whose property has been seized) '
must look to' his own State to comiien’-
sate him for the loss which he hhs bus-'
tained On her account ; afid it'ts the
duty of such State to make ’ good the
loss to its citizen or subject. It follows,
therefore, in case a. citizen Of Georgia a
deprived of his slave, orother pro]
by tho unjust and uncohstiti
legislation of Massachusetts, and
chusetts refuse to make restitution on
demand, that Georgia may by the law
of nations, justly seize an amount of
the property belonging to that Com
monwealth, or any one Of her citizens,
wherever to be found, sufficient fully to
indemnify her citlzoh, and retain It till
restitution is U)ade by Massachusetts,
or, confiscate and deliver, it to the in
jured citizen, In satisfaction for the
dAnMlite sustained by him. . This is not
only the law of nations, but it is the
law of nature; and is in striot conformi
ty to the plainest principles of natural
justice.
Nor does tliat provision of the Con
stitution of the United States which de
clares that lio States hall grant letters),
of marque and reprisal, interfere with the-
right' of a State to redress her own.
wrongs, or those' of her oitizens, as
against asister State ofthe Union, by re-
risal, where Bhe has no other remedy,
'he law of nhtioiis recognises a clear
distinction between reprisals mode by a
sovereign State, and letters ot mprqe and
reprisal granted by a sovereign State to
an individual, or individuals, authoris
ing- them to redress their own wrongs.
The latter is prohibited by .the Constitu
tion, bbt Contains no Inhibition against
the former.
Georgia has it, therefore, in her. pow
er to compel Massachusetts or any oth-
er northecn.StaiA Uo juaticNa to ner
- citizen; and in this way to force her to
repeal her obnoxous and offensive leg
islation on the subject of slavery or to
siifferthe penalties due to her violation
of good faith, and of that comity which,
should ever exist between all civilized'
States. I therefore, earnestly recom
mend her representatives, by prom;
legislation, to remove from her escuto!
eon every stein of inequality by which
it is now tarnished. Let us meet un
just aggression and unconstitutional
State legislation, with just retalia
tion.
To this end, I recommend tho en
actment of a law authorising the Gov
ernor of this State, in case any citizen
of this State shall in future be depriv
ed of his slave or other property
under the operation of the aggressive
legislation of Massachusetts, to which
1 have referred, or of like legislation of
any other'State,.or by the neglect of
any such State to fulfil her Constitu
tional obligations to Georgia, or her citi
zens, by delivering up to the owner, on
demand, his slave which may have es
caped into such State, to call on speh
illtary force os he deem necessary for
the purpose, and to seize such amount
ofthe money or pioperty of any citizen
of such offending and faithless State
whioh may be found within the limits
of this State, as may be amply sufficient
fully to idemnify such citizen of this
State who may nave been robbed of his
property by failure of such faithless
State to discharge its Constitutional ob-
ligations; and forthwith to notify the
Governor of such State ofthe seizure;
and, in case tho Governor of sucb'State
shall fail, within thirty days from the
time he receives such notice, to cause
the.property of our own citizen to be
returned to hlln, or its full. valuo paid
to him, that it shall then be,the duty
ofthe Governor of tills State to deliver
such quantity - - —’
to the 1 '
miay lio
hint against'sill damages sustained by
) *. ,
| Bclioving, furthermore, that our self-
respect as a peoplo should prompt.us to
withdraw from each of the Northern'
States of this Union, tshleh, by its leg
islation ,. has refused to abide by its con
stitutional obligations to us,, all ,the
profits and advantages of our trade, I
further recommend the icnaotmeat of
sncli;laws as willdrive.the manufactur
ed articles of suo« Statee, as far a0,possir
blo.irom this markets , of Georgia. If
Georgia and all the other‘Southern,
States would, by proper legislation, car
ry out this policy, Massachusetts and
esoh%rther.u.3tate, wlueh, by its lag-,
islation, has ehowu itself fiutjibmto its
obligations under Mie Constitution,
would have to seek manketeehmsbese p
and if they should: bo, oompcllod, to
send Hie products of their , foclories
out of the, Union for sakv, .they would
be deprived of the vftstfMvffitatlMy now
obtain iu the Union, on oocount ofthe
advantages our tariff laws afford ^thosa
in our own markets, overall imported
goods whioh pay tariff duties.

Governor of this Stato to deliver
uan tlty of the property so' seized
injured citizen of this ,Stg)to,as
ia suflioienl fully do,.Indemnify
Uonstitutional rigUt to pass laws in i
gia prohibiting the introduction oj^. ,
snehusetts goods into Georgia. Itis not
necessary for my purpose that I contro-
vert this proposition by showing that
the Constitutional obligations of Gcor-
to.Massaohueotta cease, whenever
naobueetts refuses to be bound by
her constitutional obligations to Geor
gia,-or in other words, that Massachu
setts ceases to be longer entitled to the
benefits of tho Union, when she refuses
longer to submit to Us jmrthons. , ,
Itis sufficient to say, that without the
violation of any provision of tho Con
stitution of the United States,? Georgia
lias completocoptrol fit this matter, . in
the Constitutional eaeroiset .of her sov
ereign power, of taxation. While Geor
gia nas no right, as against any State of
tho Union which acknowledges .and. obr
serves Us Constitutional, obUg^ian#.:tu
her, to pass any law prohibiting the im
portation of its goodAinto hpr territory,
she has the undoubted right, as,soon as
the-goods ofthe titate Ate,.commingled
with, and become thi*, property...of her
own oitizons, to tag them, at she, in her
sovereign narpeeity,may.,deem,.proper.
She also has the right to discriminate
between different artiolea. ,or kinds of
property, as she may deem proper, This,
right she has exercised from the earliest
period nf her. history.. She has at. all
times, in theomeeement-of taxes, dis
criminated between different kinds of
property, and taxed one. kind, higher
than another, while she has always ex
empted some kinds of property entire
ly. from tho hundens of taxation '
to the «at Of 1852, she taxed -qUy .!
town property, and merchandise, ,‘
er than she did land and. n
While horses* cattle, hogs, h
furniture, and many other articles, were
not taxed at all. Even now she taxes
bank capital, foreign insurance compa
nies, lotteries, 4o„ higher than she does
other property ;.and no taxis imppsod

der the value of. three hundred , dollars

Whether she will discriminate , be
tween • goods manufactured^ in, ether
States, so os to give: her friends an ad
vantage over .her enemies, is : ,» mere,
question of polioy. Feeling that, she-
should do this, and believing thi
or
in to be further required to stato on
h, to the best of his knowledge and
ief, the aggregate valuo of all gdods,
at- she
has i$:in her powohby tit# adw>tiw qf
this coudte,lna great measure, to drive
the goods of her enemies out of her
. itory, L earnestly recommend; the
enactment of such laws as will accom
plish the object.. To.this end I would
suggest tho passage of an act, to. take
effect on the first day of January..oe; ‘
to. opoiino upon any coo
wares or. merchandise purchased before
that time, (so* that our merptumta msjf
bo forewarned of its existence before
they meurany.liSbiUty on account of
its violation,) whioh shall require er<
tax payer in-this.Btate to swear, in i
dition-• to,;$h4' .oath: now , prescribed,
whether he has during tho year for
whioh he is giving, in his tax, been the
vender of any goods, wares or merohan-
dise of any description. -Should he an
swer this question in -the. affirmative,
then ‘
oath,
belief, > _
wares, and merchandise, of any . char
acter, sold by him,:. during said peri
od, whioh were, manufacturedin, or
brought into this State from Massachu
setts, Vermont, Michigan, Maine, Bhodo
Island, Connecticut, New York, and
Wisconsin. ,
(I behove these are tbe States whioh
hove most palpably violated the Consti
tution by their legislation and their ac
tion though the legislation of some
others ia, by no means, justifiable and
may become the sulyect of future no
tion, on our part;) and he should bo
required to pay, in addition to his tax
on othor property,- a tag . of twenty-five
per cent, upon the amount of goods,
wares, and merchandise so sold by him.
The effect of, this law would be to di*-,
criminate in favor of tho manufactured
articles of Some other, .northern States
whose legislation, though not by any
means free from oensure, is not altp-
§ etheras ofihnsive to us as .that of tho
tales above mentionod; and in favor
also, of goods manufactured abroad,
and whioh were,not imported through
the faithless States,Above named. I

,„Ir. the enactment of such a law, the
power should be given to the Governor
of this State, to suspend by proclama
tion, the operation of the act, as against
said State, whenever he may be official-
ly informed, that such State has repeal
ed .its {unconstitutional and offensive
legislation, and has returned - to the'
obscrvnnco of its Constitutional obliga
tions ; or to .embrace in tho disability*

It may bo said that, this tar law, if
. issed, would be frequently evaded,and
thut goods made in Massachusetts,
would often bo labelled, and pass in tha
market; as goods madeiti New Jersey.

eat degree effective; and would place]
ie merchandise of those States under
thjs bon southern proscription, and
compel them to resort to fraudulent
contrivances, before they could. in t
duceitamong us. This wnnlA^tad&stei
our houor, and punish their perfidy,. . .It,
would compel them, as long as they. Mr
mainod faithless to the oompaet, to lose,
our trade, or pay a large portion of our
taxes ; as the merchant having (
twenty-five per. cent, tax upon;
chusetts or New York goods, wot J
buy them unless he could purchase
them twenty-five per cent, cheaper,
than he could get.the goods of, soma
other State not subject to tax. ■- ,1-,-.,-
Thus far 1 have reoommended the
mildest measures, which, in rayjudg-
■■■ .-.ana.
ment, will redress our wrongs, _
cause the repeal of the offensive aud
unjust legislation above referred to.,,.
Should the enactments herein sugr,
gested be deemed insufficient to the.Oo;,
complishment of the object, I would.
then recommend, as an additional rem
edy, that the penal oode, and all other
laws of this’ State which protect the
lives, liberties, and property of the citl-.
zensof other States while in: this State,:
be repealed, so far as they now protect
tho citizens of each froe Stato in this,
Union, which bos upon its statute book:
any uct or. acts of the character, and-
intonded. to accomplish the object of
the Massachusetts legislation to which.-
I have directed your attentionaindi
that tho citizons of Massachusetts, and?
of each free State in this Union,: guilty
of like bad faith to the peoplc of Oeor-.;
of- the above named States,.
tb*man>jf»oturers in those States see
that they are deprived of the benefit of
the Southern trade, or that they cannot
enjoy it on equal .teniw with thohr - ! t
hors in
gia,be declared without the protection of.
the laws of this State, until the States,
to which they respectively belong sbolb
have repealed their unconstitutional:
and obnoxious legislation, and return
to the observances of their Constitution-:
al pledges. In resorting to this; severer
though just measure of retaliation, we, <
should act only on the defensive! It.
would, therefore, he necessary to make
it the duty of the Governor of^ithis:
State to suspend: by proclamation,,the;
repealing aot above recommended; and:
Stato to the protection of the laws of
this State, so soon as ho shall be official?:
ly informed by the Governor of suohl
State that tho laws of such State, of:
thoxharaoter. above mentioned, which
now rob the citizens of this State of
tlicir property, or imprison them foil
->ting to reclaim it, have been re-i
by such offending State. ThUi
be a measure of defensive retali-,
and not of aggression, on .the-
part of Georgia. [ ■ ■
