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. 1 . It may ho denied that we ' 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 upon lifararios, household furniture un der the value of. three hundred , dollars Ao.,4o. >1 apprehond.itherejote,! .that no one will venture, at this time to ffiteH tion her right to, discriminate as she may. deem proper, in tho assessment of her-taxes,. > • r.t-i 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 think it bast-that weseleotifor.tbo pres ent only suoh'States a»a» mast in the wrong, till we lrnvo shown eU the .effect of thw legislation i shouldotbars.,,thea, refiiso to repeal, theie offensive legisla tion, tiie statute,can easily ondjustiy be extendedrtolhetn. .Wcro sueh_.$*|j offoDOftdlvdJaorgifcifoi merchants the market would-refuse to the.0WxbiApnn^Which tlioy would tiavo to$wytilte qatitataK; andm their stead would buy such as are not subject to i-v;ivu'j u ut-hi Hvetit k> vox to rttvilsat If aadi;8outherm8tato will enact a iw simitar to tho qnoabov< the effect iwjll bo, in a abolition leaders who have i trolled, and by their councils, disg their, respective States. ,„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* by proclamation,' any other State en acting similar laws. , _ j " 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. Tiiia^woujd doubtless be so in some cases; as. the manufacturer, who would vote for a law to fasten upon his State; ’ e shame of a violation of her plight- l faith. Would be .guUty of | any: other act pf^ bad faith,! but it Would not/ho Itatcs tp make tbe fraud ik general one; s it would be the interest of tbe man- ufapturers, and importers of!

The foe that the law might sometimes be evad ed, is no sufficient reason why. it should not be enacted. w iniM vta ni . ,Mow often are ; the revenue laws \qf, tho United States, and of other govern ments, violated or evaded; and yet what civilized nation for that reason would .do,,without,,theml t i Sfejjr tftp, laws against murder, and all the otbef; felonies known to our: penal oode,- are often evaded; but who would say that they .should not, bn that account, * been enacted. They, are often ena and they stand upon our: statute as a terror to evildoers. So would a law of the character proposed be in a 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.
