How, I would aslr; ctiiml Georgia, Consistently with the constitution, aro without jqe most high handed tyranny, have gone nbWt It? Men,un der tins government may think.spenkaml write any opinion they please, and also as.ociate to propagate their opinions, however unrea sonable or offensive they may bo, if they do not act to injure others. Of course, I do not mean individuals, between whom the laws of slander prevail, nor mobs whose impartial behests arc above all laws and constitutions. The English people, and even the govern ment, might by speech and writing, have as serted the right to tax without repre-enta- tion, but if they had ueerr tax d us, there would have been no war, on that account.— They might bare claimed the right, by pen and type, to press our so.onea, but it they bad uni asserted it Ay the tword, there would lia^e been no war on that account. If the opinions and words ol (he norihern abolition ista are so grievous that we must resort to the ultima ratio with our Sister Stales, w hy- do we tolerate the same, and even worse in England, and the rest of ti e world / Kag- land not only believes slavery wrong, but acts ou the belief. She liberates the slaves and puts them on an equality w ith ibe whiles socially and politically. Kngland, with whom some of the abhorrers—shall I say protend ed abhorrers—of abolition, wish to ally, is I.OW trying to put the political power of Ja maica in the bunds ol the blacks. A bite letter writer, from that island,says the “blacks are rapidly increasing in the colonial parlia ment, mid that “probably four-fifths of all the public office* on the island are tilled by colored people.*' Who believes in the sin cerity of abhoirers to abolition who will not stay in the same Union with men because they believe, talk and write against slavery, but are willing to become allies of a people, who have acted in so odious a manner ! Why this kindlier feeling for nn old enemy, and want of loyalty to our own government /— English abolition is tea times more offensive than 'orthern. The former also, is aboli tion 67 the yocermnent—the latter is that of individuals w imm government cannot control. JJut it is said the North will not allow us an equal participation in the property ol the territory acquired from Mexico. So far as properly in the territory is concerned, wheth er it be free or slave soil, it will be sold and go into the treasury for the common tvcal.— It isanswered Southerners are not permitted to go there with their property.. And who, 1 ask, prevents ? Does the United States? If ao, how ? Does the North ? If so, how ? The people of California have said slavery shall not be tolerated there, which I appre hend they will maintain against all comers. And if you dissolve th* Union, to secure your rights of property ia it, you will not only lose alt vour interest in the public lends; but will not be permitted to go to the coun try and work the mines, without paying twen- ty-tivo dollars a month, liko a Mexican, or any other foreigner, 'l is a principle ef our government, commencing with the declara tion of independence that California has such right. The South has acknowledged it ns a leading principle of democracy till now. Do the laws ot Mexico prohibit us from going theie ? If so, neither the North nor the Uni ted States bad any agency in making such law s. Hut it suits the purpose of those who wish to bring their own governmout into dis repute, to charge it with that for which it is not responsible. It suits the disuuionist to make capital against his own government, to say we have lost every thing, when wo have gained every thing. When this controversy liegnn, the North asked for tho Wilinut pro viso. The South asked for non-intervention. The South has gained non-intervention, but it has not brought, and is not likely to bring, the fruits it was expected. The South did not ask that it should bring any fruit, but that the principle should ho lett to bear its own fruits. And now that the fruit is bitter to our taste, these champions of Southern rights blame others, though they planted tho tree. Shame! shame! tli.it men should have 110 more regard ‘or truth and consistency. The North has uot only lost the application of the Wilmot Proviso south, but north of 3ti 30 in the territory of Utah. And bow is it that men, who were content with the appli cation of the proviso when applied to Oregon, so that it wqs not applied south of 36 30,are now witling In dissolve our Union, though it has been abandoned on 60/A sides of that line? It is suid, however, that the Union docs not protect us, because the Northern rogues steal our negroes, and some of the States obstruct their recovery, by giving trial by jury and prohibiting their own officers from aiding in their recaptuic. Mr. Clay's compromise sought to remedy this, hut the ultras would have none of it. And they further object that because the Northern States -vitt not, or ennnot, control the mobs, that we should dissolve ell connection with them. There is inure force in this argument than in any which has been used. Dot the argument though s|>eciou», and if applied to strong and arbi trary governments, might he tenable, cannot hold where mob violence, so often oveirides the restraints of law, as in some, I fear I may say, ia nil of our states. More especially should the disunionists who seem so willing |to resort to mob law,not complain of itspow- r and authority. If the Union must lie dis ‘ved, because e citizen of one State is de 1 of his rights another,by mob law, two States would remain united for ylf New York and other 8te*.es, ,a ftw years since, were pro* ' shapes, tire neck ’at onelkilling ? And when tbo father of one of tte victims applied to tne laws for redress far the blood of Jus son, mob law, or some other lew, dented him ro* dress. Out upon such hypocritical preten* cut! How happens it that Georgi* fad South Carolina are the foremost champion* of all the world, for avenging thi* evi.. 1 noy lose 100 Slava*) ftolen by the rogues ol slave states, to one taken by abolition rogues. Maryland, Virginia, Kontucky, Tennessee 1 Missouri, the border, and suffering IT mi run wWadiaiill n tin Union on this account. *fThesf,' why, volunteer to re dress lluic wrongs ? \Vrltn the burthen is too grievious to he borne they will speak for themselves. They are the principal suffer ers, hut know they would sutler more if the Union were dissolved. It would, at least, bo modest to know if this knight-errantry on their behalf is acceptable. If you dissolved connection with the mob only, there would lie som seme in the move; hut why dis solve with a whole state for the violence of a few ? 1 have suid tho Union was a securi ty to Southern rights, because its pre servation wns a motive with the North to w ithhold such aggression as might cause its dissolution. We I ear it constantly a sorted by all parties, at the South, that the North can nnpwell do without the South. This is true, and however important the Union is to the South, it is more so to the North. And the South, mid southern slavery, is becoming more anil more important to the North und the world every day that it lasts ; and the cotton cold that hinds us to the com mercial wot Id, is of more security than alt the swords wo can ever draw. Then, why cut asunder this secure ligament that ties the stave to us and the soil ? No man, in his .enscs, doubts that wo should he at war from the moment we should seperate; and then, instead of its being to ‘.lie interest of the United Slates that we sir uld prosper, it would be their interest and desire to des troy us. Then can I hold him anything hut au enemy to the South who, without cause or reason, will demolish two of the best securities she has fur her rights and proper ty ? It is not love of the South, it cannot be, that promps such lolly and wickedness. It is hatted to the Northern people, in the first place, and to the government of the United Stutes, in the sec--.id; und ir.uny men who ar» boiling over with honest indignation at the supposed and rest wrongs of the South, if they wilt analyze the'r feel ings, will find 1 have stated the true source of this southern patriotism. That Southern their Georgia, had further (to (he United Slates,'* The Norflt have all the white, $%t under this provision the constitution, Congress had tho right to abolish slavery in the district of Columbia. - tbo* it Mends, end hs. stood anon tom half a century, muter tho « unfavorable circumstances, cn imposing evi dence of tho protection ot the Union slave property. After this experienee the security, not to say, impregnability of slavery in the Union, its greatert enemy is bo wntf^would wantonly, without reason,, and merely to gratify his feeling of resent ment however justifiable, abandon this long tried protection. But, says rampanhriuYalrv. shall we al ways submit to QggrcWion, outrage and ine quality ? No 1 when an net of aggression shall he committed that shall infringe out rights, I would recommend an appropriate resistance. I consider a dissolution no rem edy for, or resistance to, anythin; ■ If the Wilmot proviso were to be passed, I would advise a colonization of the country, by torce of arms, as a better remedy than a dis solution of the Union. I would throw the burthen ami crime of dissolution on our ene mies,whose interest in the preserva ion nf the Union, 1 have no doubt, would prove an incentive strong enough to prevent them tak ing the final step. Honest and patriotic Southern men feel, that they should do something to avert the threatened evils of abolition, and think they would be doing that something by manifest ing their abhorrence of the insolence of fanat icism. And they know of no manifestation stronger than dissolving the Union. Yes, something would he done. But would that something arrest the apprehended evil? I think I have shown it would nut. Then rage and dispair will ask, must nothing he done? Can nothing be done ? If we will consult prudence instead of passion; if we will seek security and protection of our rights, instead uf the gratification of our ha tred and lesentment ; if instead of precipitat ing a crisis that tnay never urrive. we would prepare for it should it come ; if, instead of looking up a fight that may never occur, for fear it may miss it, and it may-full to the lot of posterity, we would prepare posterity for the battle, if it should come, then something might bo done, and effectually done. It it many f eare( j (hat the abolition societies, press, and pulpit, shall at some future day, prepare the public mind, in the United States, for the abolitioa of slavery in the States, without our consent, let uf prepare for that appeal to arms which must decide the matter, when men should feel indignant and outraged, in , 8U( .j, a crisis arrives, in or out of the Union, their feelings, at this constant railing of limit- ik„i .h s ii i,» of them. I hope (till alive and'faithful to their principles end their country to dolt again. I never hetr the enitbete' ‘ tubmis- sionlst’and ‘toiy’bot I tee the sign of the old nullificrs and disunionists. For tljpse who were Union meo then, there ia m excuse for desertion of the cause now. The Union man then, for the sake of tho Union, submit ted to tho tariffwhich he believed to be op- pressive, and imposed by a majority in Con gress against bis consent. We ero not ask ed now to submit to anything imposed upon as by Congrcwi. We are required to abide by nothing but what the South has asked for, and always maintained was right. The Mexican war w«» • Southern measure.— , The South contended that the Mexican Ter ritory should be ceded us without interven- I tied on the subject of slavery, and afterwards that the people of the country should form their own governments without intervention by congress. This we maintained and ob tained. And if we cannot please ourselves, let us complain of ourselves, not of others. Because I have forborne to speak of the glory and power of the Union; of its past re nown, present prosperity, and future hopes, you w|l not suppose that 1 do not appreci ate it «s a citizen of the U. S, who is, and should be proud of the flagof the ‘Grand Re public,’ I would not give the common glory aud renown of that flag ** BimWer’* Hill, Yorktown Lundy's Lane, New Orleans, Buena Vista, and on the road from the cas- tleof San Juan ’Ulloa to the grand plaza of Mexico, for all the gold of California, and ‘Southern chivalry’ too. But it is not for all these I prize the Union most. It is for the security it has afforded tne ns a Southern slaveholder. It has proved its faith and strength for seventy yeto-s, and if the great mass of thinking men in this country will, as they can, control fanaticism and disunion, I will trust it for seventy times seventy. Some twenty years ago during, the nulli fication assault on the Union, we were told it was a curse ; that we were slaves in it, and we could never prosper until it should ho dissolved. At no period of our history has the South with the rest of the country, prospered more than during the last twenty years. Our arms have triumphed over our enemies, our commerce has extended over 11 the seas, and our Union has been bound together by sinews of iron, and made sensi tive with a net work of wire nerves which makes the whole literally one body ; and the limb that shall be severed therefrom will surely wither and die. Respectfully, yours, &c. Gau.NF.TT Andrews. ticisiu, is to he oxpected. 'I hut we arc to be goaded almost to madness, by their folly and wickedness, 1 feel every day of my life; and hence the desire of some to dssolve the Union, through resentment, by way of pun ishing such insolence and wickedness.— Just at this lime the South has her indigna tion greatly whetted by the loss of Califor nia, und 1 apprehend New Mexico too ('if the choice by the people of those countries of governments contrary to our wishes is to he catted a loss) and we feel somewhat like a man who has lost his election, and is dispos ed toblauie everything but hisonn populari ty- 1 wish not to he understood as sanctioning Gen. Taylor's policy in regard to Colifornia and New Mexico, ljns too late now to remedy his errors. You and I expected no better of him, but i.g was forced on us hy men wlm were too Southern to touch a Northern mun, although our friend, lint 1 now protest that some 4f such men shall hazard mine und your fights and security, to be revenged against their own folly, it is not for the sake of Southern rights or Southern security, but it is for the sake of resenting it, even nt the hazard of Southern rights and security, that the disunionists would gratify their passions. The first error in taking this sort of revenge is, that you accommodate the abolitionists, who jjesirc a dissolution of the Union for tho reason above stated; and the second that you risk aud sacrifice too much to your indignation. That man is no friend to the South, vvho, however justifiable his indignation and imty- ever much he may thirst for his revenge^ will sacrifice to his passions such formida ble outworks to her security—formidable for the reasons above given, and formidable from expet ience, Shall we uot have faith in them, when they have with stood abolition assaults for three quarters of a century without a breach ? That portion of the preamble of the indignation meeting above quoted says ‘ these aggressions have existed from 1737 down to this time.” His tory tells us they began with the govern ment, for, if 1 recollect correctly, the Qua kers presented petitions for the abolition of slavery to the convention that formed the soostilutiun. But, say the disunionists, abolitionism is progressing, and will lav at some future day Its unholy hands on die institution in the States.—My first answer is, if at the end of another 73 years, should this crisis arrive, why will not our posterity be as able to de fend thoir rights by arms as we ? Then why hazard a civil war by anticipating a crisis that may never arrive ? It would he ns unreasonable if, apprehending that social doctrines would overspread the country and demolish all rights of property, wo were to Volunteer to fight for posterity n battle that tnay never he needed. My next answer is, are you quite sure that our fears and appre hensions may aol have progressed quite us much as abolition doctrines'? It is the recol lection, I presume, of half the voters in Geor gia, that it was a common sentiment, ex pressed not many years since, in our S'ote, that slavery waa a moral and political evil; that the school books contained speeches against slavery, that were spoken in the schools, and that many ofthe most popular preachers, on account of conscientious scru ples, would not hold sieves, and yet they were not thought enemies of the South, nei ther did sny feel that because of such opin When that appeal shall be made, money ami disciplined men will be needed. Then let us he preparing the one and accumulat ing the other. This would not only be pre paring the proper remedies, but would test some of the windy patriotism of the hour. I apprehend, most of it will be exhausted bv the preambles and resolutions of ratification meetings. To carry on the civil wars that must ensue from disunion, would require millions of money, and tens of thousands of lives. An increase of our taxation, hut at the ratio of fifty per cent, and a rigid militia system, by way of preparation, would, I fear, demonstrate that much of this pretended de votion for Southern rights, is but resolution deep. Now let them propose, like reasona ble men, a reasonable remedy for the appre hended evil, and 1 have no doubt a large ma jority of this patriotism will he proved hut empty breath. Measures for Southern ruin are proposed and called “Southern rights,” and Union men are rebuked lor not uniting upon them. Once we were called upon to unite ngainst the Wilmot proviso, and all in tervention by Congress on the subject of sla very. We did so, ar.d succeeded, even for more than we asked. Now, we are asked to belie our former principles, and unite on an impracticable and destructive platform, which would be abandoned if success wero possible, at the moment of success, for some other still more impracticable and ruinous. A histo rian says when Louis XVI, was (nought to tho guillotine, that out of the two hundred thousand spectators at the scaffold, perhaps there was not one who did not, in his heart, secretly believe, and wish thnt the King whould be pardoned, and yet, there wns not nr!hat vast inultitqde ona.who would make the honest dfecfaration publicly. • To have shown mercy for a monarch, would have given a pretext for enemies to aay it was a sentiment in favor of monarchy. This feel ing prevailed in France, at that time until men dared not show Dicrey, refinement, learning, and above all, goodness, lest they should gire pretexts for tho accusation of being aristocrats. And thus political capi tal was made of everything that wns good and great until the days of terror seized on the land, and Ilcsven made the nation pun ish the nation. Men were sick and disgust ed with cruelty and injustice long before they had the courage to rebuke them. They would not resist the temptation to make political capital out of the errors of the na tion, till they with the nation, were involved in one common ruin. The hatred of mon archy ar.d aristocracy was right, but that feeling was afterwards made the pretext for crowding into a small space more cruelty and wrong than monarchy had done the na tion ^br ages. Krror, when it will not he corrected by reason, will come to a crisis which will bring its own appropriate punish ment. And if men and pai ties, for the sake of making capital out of this strong and just feeling of hatred lo abolition, will take and urge ruinous measures, successfully, while those who see and feel this tendency will re main silent, for fear they may he charged falsely, and knowingly, with want of suffi cient regard for'Southern rights,’ things will soon be brought to a crisis and the days of terror will come on this country, and that right speedily, which will involve, in one com mon ruin, those who, Imve sinned by omiisiou, as well os by commission.

Unfortunately for the peace and harmony of the State, the Iasi Legislature of Georgia, thought proper to make the occurrence of a certain event, the signal for the aaaembUng of* Convention of the people* It hi true come think the act aoftliilug CaUforfUtaa* State into the Union, did not under tho taw of the last Legis lature, make it absolutely obligatory upon the Execu tive to call this Convention. We shall not, however, iitop at present to express an opinion upon this point; the edict haa gone forth, and as good citizens we feel bound promptly to obey, if we cannot fully concur with the powers that be. There la now left to the people no alternative but to select delegates to t.'tis august council, and from the very natuie of the issue made up, we may expect a most interesting and exciting canvass. We need not tell our readers that upon the result of the pending struggle is possibly susiH-nded the very exis tence of our free institutions with all their teeming nnd untold benefits—that it involves ill its brief endurance, interests of priceless value to every patriot heart. These considerations in connexion with others which may hereafter be presented, should induce all, and es pecially the young and ardent, to cultivate a spirit of honest enquiry; to divesi their minds of prejudice and prepossession; of opinions hastily espoused, and suspi ciously entertained, and earnestly seek for the truth. But most earnestly would we urge upon all,the impor tance of cherishing a spirit of moderation during the pending canvass. In the excitement of debate, in the enthusiasm of the hour, let us never forget that we are neighbors nnd friqnds, fellow citizens of the good old Empire State of the South. For ourselves, we have no harsh epithets, no bitter invective, no gall and wormwood fur our political op ponents. These appliances may gratify a depraved and grovelling taste, and suit a desperate iu«n with a still more desperate cause, but we shall neither seek their aid nor desire their comfort. All wc ask is, that the people may have the issue fuirly presented to their ininds, that they may net understandingly at the ap proaching election. We will ^not' knowingly deceive them ourselves—we will not, if possible, suffer them to be deceived by other*. Our Candidates. Wc look upon the selection of Mr. Ware and Col. Waters, all things considered, as most fortunate for our cause in this county. They are old and valuable citizens, whose loyally to the Slate and devotion to the rights and honor of tho South, ia above suspicion.— Large and successful planters, personally and permaq ently identified with our social syatyfriNp^fTsafely intrust the character and interests of the country to their keeping. Hud the last Legislature been made up of such material, the peoule of Georgia would not have been afflicted by a wild and reckless system of legislation, and faxed to sustain a Convention, called to resist the exercise of a constitutional prerogative by Congre f j. Such men know the value of the Union— the blr agings of free institutions Under their protect ing md fosteiing care, they have long lived and pros pered, and they are unwilling upon trivial grounds to surrender them to the fury of northern nnd southern disunionists. Let us, citizens of Floyd, rally to their support. lathe battle now pending in Georgia, let Floyd, when the struggle is over, be proclaimed the Banner County of the South. "n the Mai© Commit fed ? A great dT,>rt i* made to convince the people of Georgia that they arc in honor bound to assume a hos tile attitude to the General Government, because the last Legislature threatened that they would do so. Is this the ease 1 In other words, ifthe Legislature, form ing a just cstimnte of its own dignity, chooses to play the part of Ha nsy Sniffle, must the people of Georgia nnd the United States, take the rcle of Bill Staliiiis and Boh Durham 1 A few words will settle this question. Is the Legis lature the servant or the master ofthe people 1 If the former, it can do nothing for which it has not express, written authority. There is nothing in the constitu tion of the Htnte which gives to the Legislature tho power to pledge her to hostility to the General Govern ment; they, therefore, acted without authority, and the people owe it to themselves lo repudiate the action. Suppose a faithless overseer who has been employ ed to manage a plantation, abandons his duties, and contracts, without authority, largo obligations upon the promise that his employer would comply with them does any thing in honor, in conscience or in law.com* pci the latter to their fulfilment 1 His duty to society would bind him at once to expose the knave, repudiate his contracts, and pursue him with the utmost rigor of the penal law. Florida Election.-—The election in this State for members to the Legislature and Representative to ^Congress cams off on the 1st Monday in October, i The Union party have undoubtedly triumphed by a handsome majority. Mr. Beard came out f r disunion, and his opponent Mr. Cabell, the present able repre sentative from that State it is thought is elected by an increased majority. Ileiisiitiiru At the meeting cn Thursday last, Mr Alexander, very properly temorked that secession was not resis tance but running. This is just what the freesoilera want us to do. For one, we are nut disposed to gratify them. We will stand up and boldly battle for our constitutional rights to the lost. “ At all of the late State and county Conventions of the Whig party in the Northern and Eastern States, the alavcry question has been the chief subject of com* ment, and they have universallv condemned the action of Congress in the passage of the Texas Boundary and Fugitive Slave Bills, while the same body hos been very st'ongiy censured for not incorporating the slave ry prohibition in the New Mexico and Utah bill.” So say* the New York Herald, a neutral paper.— Alas, for the Union when extremes meet for its over throw T Let conservative spirits North and South, un der the banner of the constitution, boldly march to its Mr. Colquitt's notion of resistance though rather la dictous, is entirely sensible. He would march up to the line of36.10, with his coffin on his back,and if ne cessary, take pueaea^en of all South of that line. Thia is bold and manly, and can ba understood.
