NEWXAX, UA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1(i0. j
Co\iila t an Independent State! (
On Saturday last we had a crowded Mass :
Meeting in the Court House, in Newnan, |
without distinction of party. It was an old
fashioned State union meeting, predicated on
States rights principles ; and to the patriot
ism of Coweta, he it said, that we are once
more a united people. But the glory ot the
thing is, that the meeting voted Coweta
an Independent State, as we understood it;
and the old colonial motto and flag, twelve
feet wide, and eighteen long, with a large
rattlesnake, inks eoil and ready to strike,
painted on it, with the motto ; “Don’t trend
on me,” (or I’ll strike,) will be hoisted on a
pole, ninety feet high, on to-morrow or the
next day.
After the meeting adjourned a company
of mounted Miirute Men, of ninety-six in
number, was rased within a short time, and
organized bv electing John B. VA ilcoxon
Captain, and J. T. Dent, Hugh Buchanan
and Mat. Story Lieutenants ; and we hear of
three or four similar companies in the coun
try, now in progress. Ilurah for Coweta !
Our voice is still for war! None of your
little Alie Stephens, plastering over compro”
mises and procrastinations now. The time
of cowardly compromising is past, and- our
motto now is, “ Don’t tread on me,” (or I'll
strike.) Ffteen cheers for the Independent
State of Coweta.
Tli Stale of Florida.
The remarks made by me a week ago
were, in a great measure, suggested by my
own situation. None, I dare say, who have
lived to the age of forty and have had soul
enough to feel the sacred glow of friendship,
can say, if their lives have been correct,
they have no friends. Man is a social being
and must live with his own species; he is a
moral being and loves to exercise -bis moral
feelings; and he is an intellectual being and
prefers that state of society in which he can
use his mental faculties. Especially is this
true of those who, from their earliest years,
have enjoyed the genial light of Divine teve
lation and its holy teaching. Even bad men \
congregate, but love that state of society
most which imposes the least restraint upon
their conduct, and in which the law, as a
rule of action, is most uncertain in its a
watds. There certainly is a geographical
difference in society, as there is in climate,
soil and production. A man ought, there
fore, to “mark well” what tie is about to
do, when he intends to move. When he
leaves the scenes and comforts and privi
leges of his early days, and settles in a
strange land, among spirits cold, selfish, ra
pacious, unsuitable and uncongenial; how
can he be happy ? In nine cases out of ten,
I will venture to say, those who move to a
new country are to a greater or less extent
disappointed. Many return, many have not
the means to return. Those doubtless do
best who colonize a section with their friends
and acquaintances, who have moved before.
I do not speak as a matter of speculation
concerning the adventurous man, who by a
removal desires to improve his fortune, but
from actual experience. I might safely use
the language which the Mantuan hard puts
in the mouth of his hero: “Et quorum
pars magna fui.” The feeling may’ arise
from a peculiarity of mine, but I must say
I love Middle Georgia, its hills and valleys
and skies and people, more than any other
region of the world.
We do not learn wisdom from the expe
rience and observation of others. We have
all heard from Dr. Franklin that, “three re
moves are as bad as a fire.” And again he
says: “I never knew an oft removed tree,
nor yet an oft removed family, that throve
so well .as those that settled be.” From our
earliest years we have heard that, “ a rolling
stone gathers no moss.” Some tourists, in
a spell of enchfiiitinont, weave into their
descriptions of western countries hallucina
tions, rain bows and bubbles, aud induce
many to believe that treasure can be found
at the root of the tree, when the truth is they ‘
will have to climb for it. How many hun
dreds—l might say thousands— went to
California, when gold was first discovered
there, with the expectation that they could
pick it up, as they would quartz rocks, upon
the surface of the mountains. But they had
to dig deep for it, aud in some instances to !
change the cource of the rivers. And thou
sands were disappointed. In every ease,
even when success crowned their efforts,
bard labor, exposure, privation and often
peril were to be encountered.
Should any one ask my advice in regard
to a removal to Florida particularly this part :
of it—l wouid say, if you are doing hut :
moderately well, stay where you are. L>
j industry and eeonetny, a man may do well
iin Georgia. Here the hind is good only in
| some sections. Cotton is the only product ;
that is relied upon to bring in money, and j
this is not the best land tor its production. |
The corn crop is uncertain, the oat crop still
more so, and neither wheal nor rye can he
raised at all. Garden vegetables are scorched
by the early summer sun. lienee nearly
every thing which supports life has to he
imported. It follows that provisions are
very high. During the past year corn has
been and is per bushel $ 1.30
Meal “ “ 1.75
Flour per barrel 13.00
Ham is now per pound 20
Sugar “ “ IJ
Cotfee “ “ 20
Butter, northern,” “ 37 1-2
And thus it is with regard to almost
every thing that supports life. It costs mote
even to travel here than any other place that
I know of. There is a saying among the
people that if a man of some means moves
here and stays three years, he cannot return,
unless he runs away between sundown and
morning. If any man, therefore, desires to
move here I should say beware, and look be
fore you leap !
For the Independent Blade.
Messrs. Editohs : Our political connec
tion with negro-thieves, robbers, infidels and
murderers of honest citizens, in search of
their property, ami perjured villains, such
as Lincoln and the Black Republican party
of the North, should now, at once and for
ever, cease, if the South has any regard for
Constitutional right, honor and personal
safety. But listen men, of the South, to the
, warnin'? voice from Maine—submission men
I ° t
| j give ear, and ponder well the awful crisis o 1
I vour country —read the following from the
Bangor (Maine) Union :
“The Southern people may as well antici
-1 pate a storm which must sooner or later
burst upon their heads. Even if Lincoln
were disposed to protect the reserved rights
’ of the South, he can do nothing to restrain
’ j the Fanatic hords that have placed him in
■ j power. The hour has come when the truth
■ | should be told. Long years of unremitted
1 abolition preaching has educated in almost
every county in the North, a more or less
’ numerous body of abolition crusaders, who
are only waiting for the inauguration of a
Black liepublican President, to enter the j
j Southern States, armed with torches, poi j
j son. pikes and bayonets, to complete the i
| work begun by John Brown.”
Can any high-minded, honorable and pa
: triotio man, wholly devoted to the true in
i terest of the South, and not a traitor, or
j demagogue in principle, any longer submit
! to the rule of the Black Republican traitors
I who aie avowedly at war with all our rights 1
j —and teach their children in their schools
| and churches to hate our children ; wretch
| es who repudiate the Bible and the Cousti
j tulion of their country ; who, hypocritically, ,
| pretend to love the slave at a distance, whom |
j they never have seen, and let. the free negro j
j and poor w hite man perish at their doors. I
I To remain in political connection with a j
people so base, so infamous, so totally lost j
; to all sense of right, is a degradation to any j
! people; and he who advocates it is, (in the
j words of a distinguished writer,) “an ene
my of the country.” The times are mo
mentous in the highest degree, the crisis is
alarming, and it is hoped the Georgia Leg
islature will feel its importance, act prompt
ly, convene a Convention of the people and |
throw the shield of protection around the
citizen.
We, in a word, must secede, and if trait
ors and demagogues should interpose dis
honorably, to defeat that object, the people,
|in their majesty, must take it in hand, si
lence their enemies and sustain the holy
cause of their country. We are now only
oqe party; oyir country is our idol; for it j
we are-willing to “live or die, survive or j
perish.” Georgia, the mother of us all, ex- |
pects every man to do his duty in this mo-1
mentous crisis. Will any man, in the Geor- j
gia Legislature, prove a traitor to his conn- j
try ? Shnrely not, all will stand erect on j
principle, firmly united in the holy cause of j
their country.
It would seem essentially necessary, un- f
der existing circumstances, that the Georgia
Legislature should pass an act requiring;
everv man, when making a return ol his J
taxable proerty, to state on oath, what j
amount of goods, wares, or merchandise lie I
bought by himself or Ins agent, directly or j
indirectly, in any of the free States o"r Ter- j
j ritories, during the last twelve months ; and J
I the same be taxed five hundred per j
cent; it ought to amount to prohi- j
bition, aud it ought to be general ; any less f
than the above will not effect the object in I ‘
view. And tiiat all person, or persons, emi- j 1
grating from any free State, or States, or !
Territories, or Kingdoms into Georgia, shall j,
be required to take the oath of allegiance to [
the institutions of Georgia ; that the same
he recorded, and in case the same is violat
ed, lie or they shall he subject to, not less
than five, or more than ten years imprison
ment in the penitentiary of Georgia. That
a negro, or negres, he competent witnesses,
in connection with other circumstances, to
prove an attempt or effort, on the part of
any abolitionist, or person, or persons from
any free State, or States, or Territory to in
duce him or them to run off, or to commit
any crime, or crimes whatsoever, against
any person, or persons, or his, or tlioir prop
erty ; and on proof of the same, that the
: said person, or persons shall be punished
with death. In older to increase the nutn
| her of slaveholders, let two negroes ho to
j tall}’ exempt from levy and sale, in all cases,
| without regard to their value ; and one
j hundred acres of land ; two mules, or hors
es; all farming tools needed for the same,
in connection with other tilings now exempt.
Will any assert, that the above acts wofdd
he too strong, too pointed, under existing
circumstances ? No, sirs, no acts can he
too strong, nor too severe against a party
perfectly hostile to all our-rights ; tv ho ife
liglit, in their vindictive fury, to carry fire
and sword throughout our country, to ex
terminate men, women and children in or
der to effect total emancipation, or reduce
this happv land to degraded and dependent
provinces; the only music then to he heard
in the South, would he the clanking of the
chains of slavery. All those who will direct
ly or indirectly aid the consummation of
j such an object, must he looked upon as the
avowed enemies of the country. YYe now
stand, in tiie eye of the world, as a degraded
people, by submitting too long to insult,
violation of constitutional rights, arson,
theft and muder; and have, all the time,
j been unoffending, compromising our consti
i tutionsi rights, and for the sake of Union,
begging mercy, which have emboldened our
common enemy to confiscate our property,
and to carrv fire and sword throughout our
i
country.
The true friends of Constitutional Union,
in ail ages of the world, are those who are
ready and prompt to repel the first aggres
sion, and to sustain the rights of their coun
try at all hazards. Shall we, sirs, convene
a convention for the purpose of inserting
another plank in the Georgia platform!—
No, sirs, we want no more platforms , total
ly evasive, never to he carried into effect, but
to gull and deceive the people. We want
! action, honest ami patriotic action ; he who
j advocates submission or platforms is, an
” aider and abetter of the Black Republican
! party, and will submit when the proclaim)
tion of total emancipation should issue. A
distinguished orator, in his speech in Boston,
stated, that “ I reassert confidently, if Mr.
Lincoln is elected, the Republicans will have
to burst up at once, or to attack the domes
tic rights of the States. What, then, will peo
ple of the Southern States attacked in their
constitutional rights and their domestic
peace, their property and their persons do?
What will they do? Will they passively
submit to be conquered subjects of New
j England ? No ; Ido not hope or fear, be
| iieve or doubt, what they will do. I know
I they will defend themselves to the utmost,
! with constitutional means : and then, if tieo
essary, with extra constitution means; in
fine, with all the means of defence which
God and nature have committed to them ;
and if thev were not to do it, they would he
i recreant to the blood of Washington, of
Henry, of Carroll, of Rutlidge ; they would
be unworthy of the name of Americans.”—
Therefore, let all truly good men, all patri
otic men, all Southern men rally to secession
as our only shield and safely from the perils
and dangers with which we are surrounded.
Rally, rally, tny fellow-citizens, to a defence
of your homes, your altars and your sacred
honor ! God and your country call on you ;
never, never submit; death before dishonor
or submission ! Oh, Georgia I bury for ever
ail party, and in the name of heaven, concen
trate around the altar of your country.
Mexico and Cuba will be our’s. We will
be a liomogeneal people in climate, soil, pro
ductions and habits. We will bold in our
hands the means of commanding the peace
of the world—such an Empire the sun never
shone on —great, powerful, generous and
free —no iovejnys nor summers to traduce,
insult, or degrade us in the Ilalls of Con
gress —peace and harmony will crown our
efforts—honor and glory adorn us. Before
our onward march, the world will admire
[and adore. Libetty will perch upon our
j bay nets, crowned with unfailing laurels—
the harmonious accents of Freedom will as
[ cend amid the jubilee of millions, inviting
the oppressed of all nations to the “Laud
of the Free, and the home of the Brave.”

IKectiiigof llicOilizcus of Coweta.
In response to a previous call and an
nouncement, a very large concourse of the
citizens of Coweta county assembled at the
Court House, in Newnan, at 10 o’clock, A-
M., on Saturday, 17th iust., for the purpose
of taking into consideration what action
Georgia should lake, on account of the elec
tion of a Black .Republican to the Presiden
cy of tliji United States. When, on motion
of Col. J.Y Brown, Maj. T. A. Grace, Jep
tha V. Davis and, J. D. Watson, Esq. were
selected as Presments, and Joint T. Dent,
J. R. Meriwether am! J. P. Brewster were
‘ appointed Secretaries.
On motion of G. M. Robinson a commit
tee of twelve were appointed to prepare and
report business, for the action of the meet
ing, it was then proposed that three more
he added, which was done, and the follow-
ing were selected by the Chair : H. Buch
anan, W. W. Thomas, J. 11. Tolbert, J. J.
Pinson, W. L. Ligon, J. T. Brown, A. P>.
Calhoun, 11. R. Harrison, Bmij. Leigh, G-
M. Robinson, S. Whatley, J. 11. Graham, T.
J. Pinson, B. IT. Broomhead and A. J. Smith,
yf’he caui miretired, John Ray.
“Esq. addressed tfW people in some eloquent
and pertinent remarks, relative to the pres
ent political state of the South in theCon
fetleracy.
The committee returned, and through W.
W. Thomas, made the following report:
We, the people of Coweta county, assem
bled without distinction of party, deem it
ottr privilege and duty to express our opitt
ions, in regard to the important matters that
now agitate and disturb the public mind,
throughout the slaveltolding States. The
tight to secede from the Union whenever a
State deems that she has sufficient cause, is
a right possessed by every State as a part
of her sovereignly—a right not parted with
or yielded up at the time the States come
into the Union, and which each State con
sequently possesses fully and completely.
It is not the simple fact of the election of
a particular individual to the Presidency of
which we complain, and which we would
make the cause cfdissolving the Union, hut
it is the design of the election of Abraham
Lincoln, the design that he has in view, and
the design of the party which he represents,
and that has elected him, and comes into
cower with him, of which we complain, and
which, in connection with the fact., that if ive
remain in the Union the design can he car
ried fullv into execution, which wonVI justi
fy all the slaveholding States in withdrawing
from the Union. We may judge of that
design, first, by the nature and objects of
the party electing him —a party established
on the distinct issue of antagonism and hos
tility to the institution of slavery. The
design of his election is evinced further bv
:lie declarations of ‘lie leading men and
journals of his parly, and by declarations of
Abraham Lincoln himself, and by the plat
form on which he was run and elected, all
of which establish the fact, beyond a doubt,
that the design and purpose of his election
is, the total and complete overthrow of slave
ry in the Southern States. As much then
as we value the Union, there are things
which we value snore —our honor and oui
rights. Therefore,
Resolved, Ist. That it is die solemn and
deliberate conviction of our minds, that Geor
gia cannot longer, with safety, remain in
the Union; that she is impelled hy feelings
of interest and honor to withdraw from the
Confederacy, and throw off'the power of the
oppressor, and to secure and establish for
herself, with her sister Southern States,
ixiictfulli y if she can, ami forcibly if she mast,
that enjoyment of her rights and that inde
pendence to which she is entitled, but which
has been denied her by the people of the
Northern States.
2d. Resolved, That we approve of the
passage of a law, by the Legislature of Geor
gia, calling a convention of the State to de
termine as to what course Georgia will pur
sue in reference to the election of Lincoln ;
and we advise that said convention be called
to meet at ail early day, so that it will have
time to act and place Georgia out of the
Union, if it determines so to do, before the
■fill day of March next.
3d. Resolved, That it is the duty of all
Southern men to forget the party lines that
have heretofore divided them, and to unite
as one hand, in defence of the rights of the
South, and in determined and defiant oppo
sition to a dominant,aggressive, fanatical and
heartless majority at the North.
4th. Resolved , That we have full and im
plicit confidence in those of our fellow-citi
zens, horn ami raised in the Northern States,
and those of foreign birth and origin who
are living amongst us, and who are identi
fied in feeling and interest with us.
fitli. Resolved, That those conservative
men in the Northern States that have bat
tled for our common constitution, and who
have shown themselves the friends of their
whole country, hy a willingness to grant to
the South her equal rights in the Union,
have onr warmest admiration for their jus
tice and patriotism, and we regret the ne
cessity which will, in all probability, divide
them and ourselves into distinct and sepa
rate people.
Oth. Resolved, That copies of those reso
lutions he sent to our Senator and Repre
seniatives in the Legislature, with a request
that they- will lay them before both Houses
of the Legislature.
Col. Thomas supported the resolutions with
a few able remarks, in which lie demonstrat
ed fully, that the Republican party had no
idea of committing overet acts; blit tlia 1,
they, having control of the government,
could by degrees, under the constitution,
which they would altar or amend to suit
their convenience by the force ot numbers ;
and that tlioir hellish designs could ho exe
cuted in so gradual and mild a manner that
prudent men, who dreaded the consequences
of revolution, could not and would not see
the approaches of despotism, until it was
fastened upon us for ever.
lion. 11. Buchanan made a short speech,
which created considerable enthusiasm.
The vote upon the adoption of the report
of the committee, was then taken and decid
ed in the allirinative, amidst the most deaf
ening shouts of applause— there being hut
one faint voice only for the negative.
The meeting then adjourned sine die.
