KKWXAX. GA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1800. ;
Our Opinion and Advise. i
We are of the opinion that, in ease of
the election of Lincoln as the President of
the United States, a crisis wholly unantici
pated, of an exceedingly momentous charac
ter, in regard to the constitutional rights of
the Southern States, safety and security of
her citizens, evidently occurs, which peculi
arity requires, on the part of the citizens,
without regard to party and their respec
tive State Representatives, union of action,
grave, dispassionate deliberation and pro
found reflection. The respective State Leg
islatures of the South ought, uudar thepres
_£iit emergencies, to be adorned with talents
of the first order, nndeviating patriotism, ex
tensive experience, enlargement of thought
and unyielding firmness of purpose, in order
to sustain the Sovereignty of the State, and
throw the shield of protection over the per
son and property of the citizen.
It is to be regretted, in many respects,
that our Senators and Representatives were
elected last year, anterior to the occurrence
of this crisis, as no doubt much light would
have been shed on this subject by discussion
before the people in the different sections of
tiie State, in regard to the position the Slate
should assume in such an event; the duties
imperiously devolving on its members, and
the necessity of union and co-operation with
our patriotic Governor. In order to supply
any deficiency that might arise, and to as
certain the sense of the people more effec
tually in regard to this momentous subject,
we would suggest respectfully to our fellow
citizens, of the different counties in the State,
the propriety of convening a full meeting of
the citizens, at the Court House, in each
county, as soon as it is ascertained that the
Black Republican, Lincoln, is elected Presi
dent of the United States. That the deep
importance of the subject be discussed, in
all its bearings ; appropriate resolutions be
passed, and two or three delegates of talent,
age, extensive experience and undoubted
devotion to the true interest, honor, dignity
and Sovereignty of the State, be deputed to
Mill edge vi 11 e, to have an interview with
their respective Senators and Representa
tives there, and to make the necessary- im
pression upon their minds, in regard to the ‘■
momentous crisis existing and the wishes !
and expectations of their constituents. It i
is useless to argue the question of the pro- ;
priety of dissolving the Union, if the Black i
Republicans are successful. They have made
the issue, that it is the last battle with slave,
ry, and the election of Lincoln is the down
fall of slavery. If the South hesitates upon
his election, they will falter when his party
carry out their threats.
If, in a word, the election of Lincoln is
acquiesed in by the South, Seward is right
when he says, that the election of Linccdn is
the downfall of slavery-.
That Georgia expects every man in this
emergency to do his duty, and not dishonor
his State. Death before submission and dis
honor ; our constitutional rights in the Un
ion, in pursuance to the provisions of the
constitution, or out of it, at all hazards,
ought to be the motto of every son of Geor
gia and the South. Rally, rally Georgians, to
a defence of your homes, your altars and
your sacred rights ?
N. B.—ls our Editorial brethren, of all ,
parties, concur with us in this move, they i
will please copy.
North and South.
No man can sit down and in his calmest
mood contemplate the position of affairs in
our country without apprehension. For the i
first time in the history of our government, 1
we behold a strong and determined section
al party endeavoring to elect a sectional
man with sectional views to the first office
in the gift of the people of this great con
federacy. This man cannot obtain a single
vote in any of the States South of Mason’s
and Dickson’s line. Not so with the other
candidate’s. They are all national and have
tickets in many of the northern Stales. But!
which of them has any strength there \—
Wo shall see. The friend of Mr. Douglas
stands on the sectional line and says to the
friend of Mr. Lincoln : Why not elect our!
candidate ? Are you not satisfied with his j
views of popular sovereignty in the territo-!
ries and non-intervention by Congress and i
unfriendly legislation ? This is all that the
North should require. The friend of Mr.
Bell next presents the claims of his candi
date. Look at Mr. Bell’s record, says he.
Ho is national aud deserves your support. |
The course you pursue is endangering the
Union, secured by the blood of our and your
fathers. What harm has ever Mr. Bell done
you ! Besides, there is one of your own
section, that great scholar and orator, that
[ eulogist of Washington, that conservative
•patriot, Edward Everett on the same ticket
1 with him. What can we do more to win
| vour regard? Then steps forward the
I friend of Breckinridge and makes his ad
dress to the friend of Lincoln. Our candi
’ date is pure and a friend of the whole eoun
| try, wherever float the stars and stripes.—
We devise no injury to your section—none
I whatever. We claim for the South equali-
I(y in the Union. We occupy constitution
lal ground. For God’s sake do not foist
upon us a sectional President and thus you
will secure us from continual suspicion and
distrust. Do not trample upon our rights
and you will thus guard us against a revolu
tion, the consequences of which no man can
foretell. We conjure you by the recollec
tions of a common ancestry ; by the memo
ry of Bunker Hill, of Trenton and Brandy
wine; bv all you hold dear in the present
and the future; do not place us in a position
of sectional antagonism. But‘all these ap
peals pass unheeded by the friend of Mr.
Lincoln. lie replies, this conflict is irre
pressible. If ho is of the abolition stripe,
he declares the constitution a compact with
Hell, and ail affirm, that there shall be no
more slave territory.
Now friends of Breckinridge and Lane
show your strength at the ballot box next
Tuesday. Keep cool but he determined.—
There is hope that the old ship will not yet
!be stranded. Hurra, for our glorious cause,
1 the constitution first and then the Union.

Humbug Fusion ami rroper Fu
sion.
j Dkar Seals: The Bell Mass-meeting
came off on the 18th inst. The leaders of
this party, patriotic souls (l) professed to
save the Union by fusion; and to save the
country by this movement, they conclude
the following plan of fusion, was the only
safe one : Let the Executive Committees,
’ throughout the State, meet immediately and
take down the electoral tickets now in the
field, and put out one ticket for which all
the people of Georgia should vote. This, 1
deem a humbug, a deep political trick to get
a few men into the electoral college, who
could not get there otherwise. The various
speakers appealed to the vast congregation
| “ to rise above party prejudices and rush to
| the rescue of their bleeding country.” “To
; hush their lulls and party praise ami talk
; only of the South, the Union, and the de-
I feat of “ Abe Lincoln.” To lay down all |
j former differences and rally to the only
movement that could save the country.”—
Pseudo patriotic movement took most ex
cellently for a while and seemed to be tak
ing the place, but, like the beast in the fa
ble, that put on the lion’s skin and running
among the flocks and herds, frightened them
from the fields, they soon brayed, their ears
popped from tinder the cover, their plan was
exposed by the unwary maneuvers of party
prejudice. For before the week closed, in
their public meetings they indulged most
enthusiastically in such expressions as follow:
\ ‘ We have opened our doors for the recep
tion of Democrats.” “All the sensible
j Democrats will very soon enter our ranks.”
j “ We will have 25,000 in our hands in less
I than a week.” “The Democratic party has
i been the damnation of the Union,” and
j “we want to get the government into bet
ter hands.” “ We don’t wan’t any Demo
! c.rat to join us, who does not feel that he
I has been in the wrong,” (fee., does this
| kook like patriotism ? Is this fusion for
the benefit of the bleeding country or for
party? Think for yourselves. Such fusion,
i is, in my humble judgment, a selfish lium
i hug ! A tremendous party scheme to send
Bell electors to Washington and disinteg
rate the democracy.
Proper Fusion. Let all parties vote as
they please, and do all they can to elect, as j
they wish, aud after the election, the elect- j
ors for the three candidates, Bell, Douglas, j
and Breckinridge must fuse for the election
of that candidate who may have the most
votes. This will defeat the election of Lin- j
coin and thus save our people many years!
iof war and bloodshed. This can be done
by the Executive Commitiees throughout the
South. They only have to request the |
electors to act thus, and the plan is secured, j
Indeed it will he done anyhow, for no true j
1 Southerner will submit to the election of
; Lincoln. This will be really- rendering to
| Osar the things that are Caesar’s, and to
the South the things that are hers.
I remain respectfully,
Your Friend and Ob’t. Serv’t,

For tlie Independent Blade.
A Brief View of the Crists of IT9S
and IStiO.
Messrs. Editors : The aspect of the coun
try, in a political point of view, in the ad
ministration of John Adame, was eminently
alarming in the eye of the patriot; then the
AlienandSedition acts were let loose upon the
country —the purity of the Constitution it
self was violated by the madness of party —
and those rights which had been respective
ly reserved to the States and to the people,
were then exposed to the most fearful jeop
ardy by the usurpations of the Federal
Government. The liberty of speech and of
the Press were invaded ; the power and
patronage of the Government were exerted
to intimidate and seduce the people; the
Democrats did not abandon the cause of
their country. Their resistance continued
with the ciisis; the form of it only was va
ried ; many of their most able and eloquent
Statesmen, in some of the States, retired
from the walks of the general government,
and retreated to the State Legislatures, in
which great citidels of the public liberty?
they proposed to reassert the
pies of the government.
Among those who returned .from Con
gress and returned to their constituents,
were Madison and Giles, two distinguished
Senators from the State of Virginia, who, in
going and returning from the Senate, were
frequently grossly insulted by the minions
.if Federal misrule—and in debate often de
nounced—their feelings outraged, and the
rogue's march frequently played under theii
windows of a night by the domineering
sport of the Federal party. Owing to the
impending crisis, they were elected from
their respective counties to the State Leg
islature, by their fellow-citizens and others,
who preceded them, of inferior talent, vol
untarily resigned in their favor.
Many other members from other coun
ties, impressed with the importance of the
crisis, and not feeling qualified, in point of
grasp of intellect, and general information
to discharge their duty, with honor to their
country and credit to themselves, prompted
by patriotism, volultarily resigned in favor
of others more eminently qualified, who
were elected in their places by their fellow
citizens.
Mr. Madison drafted the celebrated Reso
lutions of IV9B, which shed a flood of light
in respect to the reserved rights of the Stales
and the usurpation of the Federal party.—
They finally passed, the Democratic party
succeeded, Jefferson was elected, and the
Constitution was saved. But almost all the
free States, at that period, bitterly- denounc
ed the Resolutions, and treated them with
the utmost contempt; bofdlvsustaining the
. . “ , -•*
Alien and Sedition laws, as constitutional,
internal taxation, and a standing army.—
Permit me to insert, here, one of those cele
brated lesolutions, as appropriate to the ex
isting crisis, which is vastly more alarming,
unconstitutional and dangerous in its conse
quences, than the one before stated, and
which the South should now gravely reflect
on as a united and determined people, re
solved to sustain their constitutional rights,
in the Union, in pursuance to the provis
ion of the Constitution, or out of it at all
hazards. The third resolution is in the
words following :
“That this Assembly doth explicitly and
peremptorily declare, that it views the pow
ers of the Federal Government, as resulting
from the compact, to which the States are
parties, as limited by the plain sense and
intention of the instrument constituting that
compact ; as no farther valid than they are
authorized by the grants enumerated in that
compact; and that, in case of a deliberate,
palpable, and dangerous exercise of other
powers, not granted by the said compact,
the States, who are parties thereto, have the
right, and are in duty bound to interpose for
arresting the progress of the evil, and for
maintaining, within their respective limits,
the authorities, rights, and liberties apper
taining to them.”
The very same masses at-the North, wbo
fill the House of Representatives with Blank
Republicans, can do the same with the Sen
ate, and it only requires a few years to ef
fect the change, and it will not take long for
that party to have entire control of the Sen
ate. The very same men, who elect mem
bers of Congress, and who are hostile to us
and our institutions, can elect their Presi
dent over onr heads—a Black Republican—
who indorsed the “ Helper’s impending cri
sis.” r l hey have avowed, that the time was
not far distant when the Supreme Court will
he entirely changed—the Judges of that
Court are, for the most part, aged, and their
places must soon be vacant—with the mass
es of the people against us at the North, and
the whole government against us, in all its
forms. What future is there for Equality
and Justice in the Union—for the effectual
protection of our domestic institutions?—
\\ hat have we to look forward to as slave
owners ? e are to have no expansion—
no legislation for the protection of slaves in
the Territories. The Fugitive Slave law is
to be repealed ; it is now, in general, set at
naught. Slavery in the District of Colum
bia, in the Dock yards, the Arsenals, and all
public places is to be abolished.
YVe have now 4,000,000 of slaves in the
fifteen Southern States. The population
doubles itself, according to the census, in
twenty-five years ; by natural increase, we
will, in fifty years from now, have 10,000,-
000 of slaves.
Our enemies boldly assert that they will
coerce the South; if she attempts to secede
they will, bv coercion bring her back again
—that they are 18,000,000 strong, and we
only 8,000,000. What is the great object
of the Republicans ? General emancipation
throughout the Southern States. What is
all the money for underground Railroads,
Helper’s impending crisis, poisoning springs
and wells, firing the dwellings, int'urating
the bond ard ignorant, stealing and robbing,
arson and murder —hut to consumate their
lielisb designs—the total destruction and
ruin of the property of the Southern States.
A man who will endorse Jon brown and
1 his conduct, as the Black Republican candi
-1 date for President has done, (Lincoln) de
serves the fate of John Brown. In the Con
gress of the L T nited States a Black Republi
can member boldly asserted, that the period
is hastening when the horrors of civil war
will be abroad upon the face of the land;
the incendiary torch is to illumine our land ;
murder and rapine are to run riot over the
South. Senator Seward and others boldly
asserted, that the party of freedom seek com
plete and universal emancipation ; slavery
can and must be limited to its present
bounds —it can and must be abolished—and
you and I can and must do it. lie says, in
culcate the love of freedom and equal rights
of man under the paternal roof, teach it in
the schools and churches, reform your own
code, extend a cordial welcome to the fugi
tive, who lays his weary limbs at your door
—defend him as yon would your paternal
Gods ; correct your own errors that, slavery
has any constitutional guarantee which may
not be released, and ought not to lie relin
quished ; wherever the public mind shall
will the abolition of the bond-man, the way
will open for it. In 1850 be proclaimed,
that there was a higher law than the consti
tution. He declared tbatthere was an irre
pressible conflict, between the free and the
slaveholding States, and in order to stimu
late the Northern people to attack us, he
boldly affirmed, that unless they abolished
slavery throughout the entire South, we
would extend slavery over al! the Northern
States. In substance be says, to protect
themselves they must destroy our social and
political system.
Wlrat are the principles of the Black Re
publican party, as indicated by its declara
tion and its acts ? It lias but a single prin
ciple, and that is, hostility to negro-slaverv
and to reduce the Southern States to de
pendant and degraded provinces. Wade,
Senator from Ohio, declared, in bis speech,
that the North and South hated each ether,
as cordially as the English and the Russians
who were then carrying on war in the
Crimea against each other. The same, in
substance, has been avowed by Seward, the
Senator from Ohio—has characterized us as
vandals, who had stolen Northern rights.—
Sumner denounced us as robbers, and de
clared tbatthere is no vileness of dishonesty,
no denial of human rights that is not plain
ly involved in the support of our domestic
institutions. The Senator from New York,
who is the great leader of the Black Repub
lican part}', denounced us as a perfidious,
privileged class, and charged us with fraud,
perfidy and dishonor ; denounced our do
mestic system of labor as a twin-refic of bar
barism with polygamy ; and their platform
declares, that the bond-inan is entitled to
liberty and equality with the white man,
in social and political rights.
The Black Republicans assert that the
Constitution of the United States was con
ceived in crime—is a chapter of abomina
tions—is a violation of Justice—is a league
between strong-handed but wicked-hearted
white men—to oppress, impoverish, and
plunder, contrary to rectitude, honor and
justice, our fellow citizens. The Constitu
tion guarantees, to the people of the South
ern States, the perfect protection of all their
property ; in that respect it is a solemn
compact hotween the North and the South ;
have the free States a right to interfere witli
their interests and constitutional rights, or
wound the feelings, and to trample upon the
political rights of the citizens of the South ?
No, they are bound, by the constitution and
the laws of the land, to observe it in good
faith, honestly and honorably tip to its letter
and spirit. This abolition question bas been
made the war-cry of party in the free States.
It bas been made the instrument whereby
to elevate, not merely to distinction, rank
and station, but to political power through- •
out the non-slaveltolding States of the Un- j
ion, men wbo advocate a course of conduct !
necessarily exasperating the South, aud ren
dering them in thoir lives and property un-1
safe each hour, each night that they retire j
to their chambers, making it a matter of
dread whether they shall dare to retire to their
slmnbers without safe guards to protect
them against incursions from the North. —
They declare themselves to be enlisted in a
crusade against the South, and her institu
tions. Is that in accordance with the divine
maxims, to “Render to every man his dues;
injure no man ; love thy neighbor as thy
self.” These maxims should govern us and
our brenthren of the North. Do they jus
tify the assertion of those who seek to in
vade the rights of the South, by proclaiming
her domestic institutions unjust and nefari
ous ; by refusing to deliver up fugitives on
demand to their owners; by running off
their slaves by underground railroads; by
the dissemination of insendiary pamphlets
of the Ilelpei’s impending erisis ; of the to
tal exclusion of the South, with her slave
property, from all the Territories in the
United States; no more slave State to be
admitted into the Union, under any circum
stances ; the invasion of a Southern State by
the foul myrmidons of the Black Republi
can party ; the foul attempt made to rouse
and excite the non-slaveholdiijg portion .of
the citizens in the South to co-operate with
the slaves ; to fire their dwellings ; toexter
pate slaveholders and their families; lay
waste the country with fire and sword ; and
give a total ascending to the black race in
the South ; govern and control the Southern
States, as dependant and conquered pro
vinces, and if they, or any of them, dare se
cede, they, being 18,000,000 strong, will
whip them into the Union, and keep them
there at all hazards.
Now, sirs, if the people of the free States
are determined to force Lincoln upon the
country, standing avowedly upon a section
al and hostile platform, let Georgia and Iter
sister Southern States co-operate firmly and
unanimously, and peaceably, if they can,
withdraw ft out the Union ; but in the words
of a distinguished writer, “by all means,
withdraw ;” and in the event of this threat
ening contingency, it is to be hoped that
j those members of the Georgia Legislature,
! who may not feel prepared to meet the eri
j sis, will voluntarily and nobly imitate the
members of the Virginia Legislature, resign
their seats, and let their respective counties
elect men of the first order of talent, elo
quence and undoubted devotion to the South
and all Iter rights; let there be no division.
Georgia, venerable Georgia, tbe mother of
us all, expects that all her sons will do their
duty in defence of their country, at.d never,
under no circumstances, degrade her hv foul
submission or base compromise with oin
corrupt and malignant enemies; let tliecrv
bej “ give md Liberty origive me I^allt.”—
Let. the Legislature of Georgia stand erect
on principle—nobly co operate with their
patriotic Governor, make an appropriation
sufficient to purchase, at once, two hundred
thousand stand of arms, and let these arms
be used in defence of Southern honor. South
ern interests, and our constitutional rights,
w lettever the emergency arises.
God prosper the Cnnse, oh ! it cannot but thrive,
Whilst the pulse of one patriot’s heart is alive,
Its wrongs to redress and its rights to maintain.
