We publish below a portion of Governor
| Brown’s Special Message, which will, no
| doubt, arouse the ire and indignation of eve
jry Georgian who possesses a particle of
| Stale pride and equal rights in bis heart, and j
j cause him to sing out, Go it Georgia, and
| we will sustain all retaliatory laws to the
j last day—yes, to the last hour of (he last
j night we will he with you.” The fact is,
; our temporizing demagogues and our three
thousand dollars salaried representatives
have succumbed to the impositions practiced
on the South, by our pusillanimous govern
ment, until all Yankeedom has become elat
ed at the success of their trixtery ; and now, !
to cap the climax, they have hoisted old
Abe Lincoln on his rufl’-shod, high trotting,
Yankee, abolitionist poney, to ride ruff-shod ‘
over the South, at all hazards. But the
question is, will the South stand to he thus
rode over without kicking up at it? \V t
trow not. But read Gov. Brown’s state
ments, and his arguments to sustain theim
which are as follows :
“When South Carolina, in 1832, made
provision for the nullification of certain laws >
of Congress, known as the tai :tf laws, hv the
operation of which her citizens were being
plundered by the Government to entirh the
manufacturers of Massachusetts and other
Northern States, the whole Union was con
: Vlllsed with excitement, and the use of Fed-
I eral bayonets was threatened to coerce her
i into obedience, if she attempted to carrv out
j what were denounced as her treasonablede
| sign*-
W hen Massachusetts, in 1843 and 18.55.
ui public violation of her duty under the
Constitution, passgd acts effectually nullify
ing the laws of Congress enacted for the
protection of the rights of the slave States, *
no outpouring of indignation went forth,
and no cry of treason to the Government
wiis heard from the Northern States. But ,
if a Southern man proposed that Massacliu- j
selts he coerced into obedience, or that a
Southern State pass retaliatory laws, he
was denounced as a disunionists if not as a I
traitor. If nullification in South Carolina,
for just cause, was treason against the Fed
eral Government, what better is it in Mass
achusetts, without cause ?
Probably the records of no Stale or na
tion in Christendom are more blackened
with the deep stain of disgrace, caused hv a
wilful violation of public faith, than this re
cord of Massachusetts. If I use strong lan
guage, it is because I feel that the wrongs
done our State require that I speak the
truth without reservation. While the trade I
of Georgia is worth to Massachusetts, an-j
nually, hundreds of thousads, if not millions
of dollars, under our tariff laws, navigation
acts, and other advantages which Massa
chusetis derives fiom tlie Union, she reiains
upon her statute hook these most extraordi
nary laws, for the purpose of robbing the
citizens of Georgia of their property which
may escape and he found within her limits.
She is inviting our trade, and to which
many of our citizens look for their daily
bread; hut if our merchant goes there to
trade, and carries with him his slave as a
bodv servant, (which lie has as much natu
ral right to do as a citizen of Massachusetts
has to carry his baggage with him when he
travels through Georgia.) the laws of that
State take from him his property, and re
fuse to permit him to bring it with him
when lie returns to his home.
Suppose a similar treaty or compact ex
isted between France and Great Britain, and
the Government and subjects of France
I should, in open violation of the compact,
rol) the subjects of the Government of Great
Britain, as the government and citizens of
[Georgia, would the Government of Great
Britain subject to it for a single month ? No
: doubt, in such case, satisfaction would be
promptly demanded of the Government of
| France ; and, in case of refusal, the Govern
ment of G reat Britain would resort to ini
j mediate reprisals, or a prompt declaration
[of war. Should tho freemen of Georgia be
denied by- her legislators the protection
which tlie crowned heads of Europe never
fail to afford to their subjects? It’ so, our
Government is failure, and our boasted
| freedom is but solemn mockery,
i All writers on the subject of government
agree that the duties and obligations of the
Stale or Government, and the citizens or
| subject., are reciprocal. The State has the
j right to require fioui each citizen prompt
| obedience to her laws : to command his ser
vices tn the field of battle against her ei e
mies, whenever, in her judgment, it m,i\ he
necessary to her protection, or the vindica
tion of her honor ; and to tax him to anv
extent which her necessities rnav at anv
time require. These requisitions, Georgia,
as a sovereign Slate, has made ami may
| continue to make, on all her citizens. In
[ return for the sums paid as taxes, and the
i services which each citizen renders the
Slate including obedience to all her laws, he
is entitled to demand and receive, from the
State, full and ample protection of his life,
his liberty, his family, his reputation, and
bis property of every other description,
i It is the duty of Georgia, therefore, when
ever one of her citizens, no matter how
humble, is lobbed of his property,or wrong
fully deprived of Lis liberty, bv any other
State, to demand prompt and ample redrew*:
and, if it he denied, to make the cause of
her citizen her own cause; and if need he.
to exhaust her vast resources and Iter great
energies in a determined eff it to redress
the wrong. If. therefore, the State of Mas
sachusetts, iu otten violation of her Cui sti-
tutionai obligations to Georgia plunders a
citizen of Georgia of his property, and te
fuses to make redress. Georgia violates
every principle of good faith to her own
! citizen, if she refuses either to compensate
i him from her ow n treasury, or to empe
Massachusetts to compensate him. A sov-
I ereigti State should either protect her citi
i zens or cease to claim their allegiance and
their obedience to her laws. But it may be
i asked how Georgia can compel Ma.-sachu
setts to compensate citizens of Georgia who
i have been robbed of their property bv Mas
1 sachnsetts legislation. The law of nations
furnishes a readv reply. The most dis
’ tiugiiished writers on that sulject lay d"Wi
the doctrine that a Slate whose ciiizci - or
subjects have been unjust I v and ilfi-ga v do
prived of their property by another State or
: nation, which refuses to make reparation :
j may lawfully make reprisals hv seizing the
property of the offending Slates or nation,
~r of its citizens or sul jects, wherever to be
‘found; and, if justfi-e is still refuse 4 . !•■■
confiscating and delivering to the injured
party a sufficient amount of the propertv o
I seized, to indemnify him against tie —:
j and such seizure, is declared to be no just
cause of w ar. The law of nations does not.
in such case, confine the injured Slate to the
; seizure of the public property of the offend
ing Stale, hut authorises tlie seizure of the
property of any individual citizen or subject
|of the offending State. As between S ates.
the laws, in such case, considers all the
j property of every citizen or subject as the
i property* ol the State to which lie belongs.
: and sul jects it all, or any part of it, to se:z
ure for such injury, done by the State, as
; justifies reprisal. If an injured State makes
reprisal, and seizes the property of a citizen
| or subject, in satisfaction for the injury done
| such citizen or subject, it is no violation ot
the right of private property; but the citi
[ zen or subject of the offending State, w hose
property lias been seized, must look to his
ow n State to compensate him for the loss
j which he lias sustained on her account: and
, it is the duty of such State to make good the
: loss to its eitizen or subject. It follows. ‘
therefore, in case a citizen of Georgia is de
i prived of his slave, or other property, bv
the unjust and unconstitutional legislation
of Massachusetts, anil Massachusetts refuses ‘
!to make restitution on demand, that Geor
j gia may, by the law of nation, justly seize
an amount of the property belonging to that
] Commonwealth, or any one of her citizens,
i wherever to he found, sufficient fullv to iu
i deinnify her citizen, and retain it till resti
tution is made bv Massachusetts, or. con
fiscate and deliver it to the injured citizen,
| in satisfaction for the damage sustained by
him. This : s not only the law of nature :
is in strict conformity to the plainest prin
ciples of natural justice.
Nor does that provision of the Constitu
tion of the United States which declares
that no State shall grant letters of marque
i and reprisal, interfere with the right of a
j State to redress her own wrongs, or those
of her citizens, as against a sister State of
the Union by reprisal, where she has no
I other remedy. The law of nations recog
nises a clear distinction between reprisals
made by a sovereign J-tate, and letters of
marque aiul reprisal granted by a sovereign
State to an individual, or individuals, autlior
i ising them to redress their own wrongs.—
The latter is prohibited bv the Constitution,
hut contains no inhibition against the former.
Georgia has it. therefore, in her power to
compel Massachusetts or any other North
ern State to do justice to her citizens; and
in this way to force her to repeal tier obnox
ious and offensive legislation on the subject
of slavery, or to suffer the penalties due to
her violation of good faith, and of that comi-
ty which should ever exist between all civil
ized States. I, therefore, earnestly recom
mend her representatives by prompt legis
lation, to remove from her escutcheon every
stain of inequality bv which it is now tarn
ished. Let us meet unjust aggression and
uncoiistitulio’nal State legislation, with just
retaliation. To this end, 1 recommend the
enactment of a law authorising the Govern
or of this State, in case any citizen of this
State shall in future he deprived of his slave
jor other property, under the operation of
the aggressive legislation of Massachusetts,
to which 1 have referred, or of like legisla-

from the burdens of taxation. Prior to the
act ot 18c2. she taxed city and town prop

land and negroes. While horses, cattle,
hogs, household furniture, and many other
articles, were not taxed at ail. Even now
she tax ?s hank capital, foreign insurance
