Letter of Hon. Win. c. Rive*.
Castle Hill, December 8, 1860.
My Dear Sir : I observe that you have made a
proposition in your House for holding a solemn
family council, consisting of a member for each
State, upon the present distracted and eminently
critical condition of the Confederacy. This is
right and proper. The great work of our fathers,
which has preserved us in peace and happiness
for near three quarters of a century, and given
rise to a spectacle of national growth and devel
opment without any, the remotest, parallel in the
history of the world, ought not to be abandoned
without the most earnest efforts for its preserva
tion. Hut will these or any efforts avail? Unless
a very different spirit from that which seems thus
far to have animated both of the extreme parties
can be successfully invoked, Jthe prospect would
be gloomy indeed.
It is useless row to inquire into the causes
which have led to the present condition of things.
The recent triumph of a powerful sectional party
in an election for the two highest offices of the
Government with its candidates taken exclusively
from its own section, voted for exclusively by its
own section, and with a political creed, avowedly
antagonistic to the interests and institutions of the
other great divisions of the Confederacy—is an
event which necessarily awakens both anxiety and
resentment in the opposite section, and, Accord
ing to the most ordinary maxims of human pru
dence and self-respect, calls for an attitude of vig
ilance, firmness, and, if need be, of inflexible re
sistance.
It is the first time in our political annals that
such a thing has been attempted or ventured up
on, and argues, to say the least, an extraordinary
degree of temerity and heedlessness on the part
of those who have made the experiment, in the
face of the solemn and not unfriendly warnings
which were addressed to them. It is not the in
dividual elected, whoever he may be, hut the hos
tile sectional combination which elected him that
constitutes both the danger and the offence.
What, then, is to be done? Shall we rush at
once to a dissolution of our compact of union ?
tear down the pillars of the temple which contains
the precious deposit of our rights and liberties ;
and bury ourselves—for a time at least-in a com*
mon ruin with our deluded or offending confecer
ates? This would seem to be the course of des
peration and blindness, not of reason and delibe
ration.
There are few, if any, among us vrho do not feci
and acknowledge that the Constitution of the Unit
ed States, if honestly and faithfully pursued in its
letter and its spirit, affords every desirable guar
antee for the rights and liberties of all the parties
to it. We are entitled to demand and insist upon
a loyal and upright fulfilment of all its obligations
as the sole and indispensable condition on which
the Union can be maintained.
The equal rights of the States in the common
Territories of the Union, the immunity of their
domestic institutions from all external interference
and control, direct or indirect, and the surrender
of fugitives from service, are fundamental princi
ples of the constitutional compact, which, howev
er clear in theory, are practically denied in various
quarters, and call, therefore, for new and une
quivocal securities for their future observance.—
If these securities are demanded with calm and dig
nified but inflexible firmness—not with bluster and
denunciation—l cannot doubt, that - M oc
l, - iig majority, if not by all, of our
eo-Staies. If any should reluse them, by that act
of recusancy they will renounce the authority of
the Constitution itself, and put themselves virtu
ally out of the pale of the Union.
Such terms of settlement as those here briefly
indicated —susceptible in their details of more or
less development—would, in my opinion, satisfy
the views of a large majority of the slaveholding
States. They would not be likely to obtain the
acceptance of South Carolina, who seems deter
mined, by a forgone conclusion, to go out of the
Union in spite of every possible rouoMiion, and
to araff as many ol her sister States as she can
after her. What success her policy of cotrcina
other States iuto disunion may have remains to be
seen. But it may, not unreasonably, be presum
ed that Georgia, who did not recognize her dicta
torial authority in 1832 and 1851, would prefer
her own platform, laid down with so much wisdom
and firmness in the latter year, and which, with
one or two suggested additions, is so well adapted
to meet the requisitions of the present crisis. If
Georgia, true to the traditions of her former pa
triotic policy, should be satisfied with an adjust
ment reconciling the Constitutional rights ot the
South with the preservation of the Union, the
probability is that her neighbors, Alabama and
Florida, would be equally so.
Hut, w hatever might be the decision of those
States, there can be little doubt that Maryland,
Delaware, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North
Carolina, Missouti, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas,
and, it is to be hoped, Misssissippi also, would
cordially unite in such a plan ol adjustment.
These are the natural allies of \ irginia in every
great crisis ot the Republic. She can never di
vorce herself from Maryland, Kentucky, Tennes
see, and North Carolina—States which immedi
ately surround her, and w ith which she has so
man j corn moil interests of the most intimate and
vital character. ,And when it is recollected that,
in one halt oi lier territory, she is a Western
State, having for that portion of her domain, her
natural outlet to the ocean by the river Missisippi,
she is, by that circumstance as well as by the
large number of her children who now people its
magnificent valley, linked by the tie 9of kindred
feeling and a common destiny to those flourishing
and prosperous States which have risen to such
magic wealth and power upon its fertile borders.
It is also to be remarked that the slaveholding
States ol the. valley of the Mississippi, by their po
sition on the banks of a great stream, assigned
by Providence as a common avenue of commerce
lor themselves and other powerful communities
inhabiting its upper parts, and having dissimilar
domestic institutions, can never lightly regard a
severance ol the Union by such a line—an event
which would briug with it to them, inevitable
conflicts aud the danger of national controversies
and wars, as is abundantly proved by the history
of the river when its mouth was held by an inde
pendent and foreign Power. While these States,
therefore, are sensitively alive to whatever affects
the security of their domestic institutions or jeop
ards their equal constitutional rights in the Union,
and are ready at all times to make every sacrifice
to defend them, as the Statep commonly denom
inated border slave Slates also are, they are yet
not smitten—any more than those border States
with a passion for disunion for its own sake, or
disposed to rush into it heedlessly and unnecessa
rily.
Let, then, the States I have mentioned—rein
forced it is to be hoped by Georgia and her two
neighbors—unite in their demands upon the non
slaveholding States, and say to them frankly and
plainly, but sobeily and kindly, that the time has
come when the authority of the Constitution,
which is the bond between them, miut be recog
nised, or that Union will inevitably perish ; that
there must be no longer acts of State legislation,
iu the guise of “personal liberty” laws, to nullify
and set at naught a solemn and unequivocal com
pact written in the Constitution ; that there must
be no attempts, covert or open, by Congiessional
legislation lo assail or underiniue their domestic
institutions ; and that their full and perfect equal
ity under the Constitution, as co-States of the
Federal Union, must be loyally acknowledged and
iaithlully respected. As these were the terms,
well understood on all sides, on which they came
into the Union, so they are the only terms, con
sistent with honor or justice, or self-respect, on
which they can be expected to remain in it.
The justice and reasonableness of such a de
mand, urged wiih the solemn earnestness and dig
nity which the occasion imports, cannot fail to be
heeded, if not by all, by the major or most import
ant part of our Confederates. Pennsylvania and
and New Jersey, ever loyal and true to the Union
who have stood firmly by their Southern breth
ren in the most trying periods of their history,
both before and since the adoption of the Consti
tution —would, I am persuaded, feel and acknowl
edge its justice.
New Jersey has already given her answer, in
advance, to such au appeal by her vote iu the
Presidential election ; and although Pennsylvania
voted differently in that contest, it mast be borne
in mind that there were issues supposed to be in
volved in the eleciioti affecting the peculiar inter
ests of her industrial which doubtless
mainly influenced her vote. Whenever an issue
I shall be distinctly presented on the preservation,
| by her good faith and loyalty, of that Union, of
l u to Vi M
lie Keystone, no one conversant with her history
can doubt where Pennsylvania will be found.
Nor can I doubt, when the day of solemn decis
ion shall arrive, that the powerful Northwestern
States—taken out of the side of Virginia, whose
children are still widely diffused among their bold
and enterprising population—bordering, as they
do, on Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Missouri, as
well us on \ irginiu, and having a common interest
with the slaveholding States occupying the banks
of the Mississippi in the use of that great Mediter
ranean channel of intercourse and trade, will
rally with those States, cordially and frankly, to a
Union of equal rights, of justice, and fraternity.
When we turn our eyes again to tlie eastward,
we cannot doubt on w hat side will be found the im
perial city, the centre of American industry and
commerce—in herself a sovereign Power—with
all her vast connected interests and dependencies.
If'the internal questions now agitating the State
of New York—many of them deeply affecting the
rights and interests of the city—be added the su
prenie one of a dissolution of the Union, it is not
an improbable event, amid the revolutions of em
pire. that we shall seethe southern portion of the
State, comprehending the city, separate from the
rest, and formed iuto anew and independent
State, firmly adhering to the Central States of the
Confederacy, slaveholding and non-slave’uolding,
with those of the Valley of the Mississippi.
I have ever believed that if unhappily—owing to
the centrifugal and jarring tendencies sometimes
manifested by the States at the extremeties of the
Confederacy—our present glorious Union should
be broken up, tlie States occupying the central
belt of the Continent, from ocean to ocean, includ
ing those of the Valley of the Mississippi, w ould
still hold together, anil keep alive, with befitting
dignity and power, the ancient name and proud
traditions of the United States of America, and
perhaps, in the end, win back to the fold those
who might temporarily have strayed from it.
At all events, 1 sec no reason to despair of the
earlv success of the work of conciliation inaugu
rated by your proposition, to the entire extent of
the States I have enumerated, if prosecuted in the
right spirit ; and when harmony and a good un
derstanding shall have been established among
then: —the great Central Plates of the Confedera
cy—what rational motive can be felt by a few is
olated States, whether at the North or the South,
to stand aloof in sullen contumacy or unprofitable
discontent? We have lately seen auspicious in
dications that reflections such as these, with a re
viving spirit of nationality, are making daily prog
ress iu tbat quarter of tbeJConfederacy where the
antagonism to Southern institutions has been
heretofore tho strongest; and I will not yet aban*
don the consoling hope that the present troubles
of the country, by bringing more clearly to light
the dangers wAiich threaten us, may end in placing
the Constitution and the Union of our fathers up
on more solid and lasting foundations than ever.
Most truly and faitlully your friend,
\V. C. RIVES.

Meeting iu Lauren*.
Agreeably to previous notice a large and respec
table number of the citizens of Laurens Couutv

nominating delegates to the approaching Georgia
Convention.
On motion of William Adams, Dr. Nathan Tuck
er and John W. Yopp were called to the Chair,
and W. S. Ramsay and C. S. Guyton were request
ed to act as secretaries.

the Chairmen, the Convention proceeded to busi-
ness.

draw up resolutions for ratitiealiou.
The following gentlemen were appointed by the

man, C. S. Guyton, S. J. Kellani, Wm. Adams,
Edward l'erry, Cullen O’Neal and Derrian Scurboro.
Alter a brief interval, the committee reported
the following preamble and resolutions, viz. :
Whereas, a Convention has been called to ascer
tain the will of the people of Georgia, as to the
mode, measure and time of resistance, in view of
the recent electiou of Abraham Lincoln to tbe
residency, and who was promoted to that office
by virtue of his principles of hostility to the insti
tution of African Slavery ; and in view, also, of
the fact that a number ol the States of this l niou
huve passed what they call “ Personal Liberty
Dills,” whereby the Constitution of the United
States, and tne Fugitive Slave Law, enacted in
pursuance thereof, to protect the slave owner i a
ms property, is evaded —therefore, be it
Resolved , That we re-aflirm tne Georgia Platform
witn the additional proposition, viz.: —That where
as, the fifteen Southern States are equally interest
ed in the institution of slavery, we, therefore, re
commend that Georgia co-operate with the siave
States or as many as will unite with her in demand
ing of those States which resist the execution of
the Fugitive Slave Law, by virtue of their State
l.ane, a repeal of their “ l’ersonal Liberty Ililld,”
or a lull execution of the Constitution aud Laws,
in spirit, lor the rendition of slaves to their owners
by tne General Government; aud give us a tangi-
Dle assurance ot their sineenty against the agita
tion ot the Bubjeet of slavery in Congress. And
when the time shall have been given for these
States to act, and they then refuse to recognise
and give us our rights, thatiAeu and not until then ,
Georgia should disrupt every tie that binds her to
the Union.
The resolutions being adopted, the Convention
proceeded to nominate oy ballot. On counting out
the votes it was ascertained that Dr. Nathan
tucker aud John W. Yopp hud received the high
est number ot votes, they were, therefore, declared
the nominees.
Upon motion, it was ordered that these proceed
ings be published in the Milledgeville and Macou
papers.
The meeting then adjourned.

The committee retired, and in a short time
unanimously reported the tollowing preamble .and
resolutions, which were unanimously adopted by
the meeting:
Whereas, the wild fanaticism raging in the Jiow
-Blaveholding States of the Union, exhibited in
the passage of their so called Peisoual Liberty
Bills —in refusing to return and deliver to us our
fugitive slaves —in the election to the office of
President aud Vice President, Black Republicans,
for tbe purpose of carrying out their higher law
and “irrepressible conflict” doctrine, and iu the
uncompromising war waged against the institution
of slavery, has aroused the slave States to a sMise
of their comtnou danger, and driven them to an
unfaltering deteimination of resistance, if nettes
sirv, to a disruption of every tie that binds them
to the Uuion. And whereas, the State of Gooigia,
by her Legislature, has passed an act deoiaruig
Ithat these aggressions and violations of the Con
stitution demand resistance, and has called a Con
vention of her people to determine upon the mode,
measure and time of resistance. Therefore*,
Resolved, That we people of the county of Me-

pel the non-slaveholding States to repeal tieir
Personal Liberty Bills, to the prompt, faithful and
peaceable rendition cf our fugitive slaves, and as
will give us such additional, unequivocal, and un
mistakable constitutional guarantees for the pro
tection of slavery in the common Territories, and
our rights and equality in the Union, as shall war
rant a final settlement of the question and a stop
to its agitation.
Resolved, That as our sister slaveholding States
have a common de.-ttiny with us in so far as too
slavery qu;stion is concerned, that it is proper
that we should seek their co-operation—that the
interest of each, as well as the nnited interest of
all, requires such a line of policy.
Resolved, That upon the refusal or failure of the
non-slaveholdiug States to repeal their Personal
Liberty Bills, and give us the guarantees aforesaid,
that the sooner and faster we dissolve our connec
tion with a people so faithless and treacherous the
belter.
The committee, also, unanimously recommended
W. 11. Robinson and Joseph J. Carson, Esqs., as
suitable persons to represent the county of Maeou,
who were, upon motion, nominated by acclamat on,
and being present, accepted the nomination ten
