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- NUMBER 17. lion of any other Statn, or by tl,e nro!„t 0 f anv such State to fulfil her f.-nstitut < na! ordigat ons to Georgia, or c.liz-ns, bv detiverintr up to tl.e (~,er. on demand.’ bis ><a\e liich may i.ave escaped into such State, to cal: out such military force as be may deem ne- essary lor tiie purpose, and to seize m b amount of the nconey or proper citizen ot such oftend;ugaud failh -ess State which may be found within the . oiiils this .State, a- may be amply suffi cient fu ly to indentity such citizen of this state who may have been robbed of his property by the tniiure of such faithless State to discharge its Constitutional obligations ; and forthwith to notify the Governor of such !

S( e a so has the right to discriminate between different articles or kinds of properfv. as she , ■ i— may deem pioper. I Ins. right she has ex ercised trom the earliest period of her his tory. She has at all times, in the ass. ss nieiit ot taxes, discriminated between differ ent kinds of property. and taxed one kind higher than another, while she has always exempted some kinds of propertv entirely from the burdens of taxation. Prior to the act ot 18c2. she taxed city and town prop erty. and •.netchandise. higher than she did 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 companies, lotteries, etc., higher than she does other property ; and no tax is imposed upon libraries, hoiisehoa! furniture under the value of three hundred dollars, &v., ifcc. 1 apprehend, therefore, that no one will ven ture, at this time, to question her right to discriminate as she may deem proper, in the assessment of her taxes.” Who Would Nor de a Son of Temper ance i —Quaker young ladies iu the Maine I.aw States, it is said, still continue to kiss the lips of the young temperance men, to see if they had been tempering with liquor.
