attempting to excite insurrection, or to
lessen the security or to disturb the tran-
oualitv of their neighbors, and Our Con
stitution wisely gives Congress the power
to punish all oft'eiu-es against the laws of
nations.
These are sound and just principles
which have received the approbation of
just men in all countries, and all cen
turies. J3ut they are w holly disregarded
by the people of the Northern States, and
the Federal Government is impotent to
maintain them. For twenty years past,
the Abolitionists and their allies in the
Noithern States, have been engaged in
constant efforts to subvert our institutions,
and to excite insurrection and servile war
amongst us. They have sent emissaries
among us, for the accomplishment of these
purposes Some of these efforts have re
ceived the public sanction of a majority
of tlm leading men of the Republican
party in the National Councils, the same
men who are now proposed as our rulers.
These efforts have in o:.e instance led to
the actual invasion of one ot the slave
holding States, and those of the murder
ers and incendarios, who escaped public
justices by flight, have found fraternal
protection among our Northern Confed
erates.
These are the men who say the Union
shall hr preserved.
Jiucli are the opinions and such are the
practices of the Republican Party, who
have heel* called by their own votes to
administer the Federal Government un
der the Constitution of the United States;
we know their treachery, we know the
shallow pretences under which they daily
di°regaid its plainest obligations; if we
submit to them, it will be our fault and
not tbeirs. The people of Georgia have
ever been willing to stand by tiiis bargain,
this contract ; they have never sought to
evade any of its oi.li*ra';««.«.• <1.07- J.„.-o
never hitherto sought to establish any
new government, they have struggled to
maintain the ancient right of themselves
and the human race, through and under
that Constitution. Rut they know the
value of parchment rights, in treacherous
hands, and therefore, they refuse to com
mit their own to the rulers whom the
North offer us. Why ! Recause by their
declared principles and policy, they have
outlawed three thousand millions of our
property in the common territories of the
Union, put ii under the care of the Re
public in the States where it exists, and
out of the protection of Federal law every
where, because they give sanctuary to
thieves and incendiaries who assail it to
the whole extent of their power, in spite
of their most solemn obligations and cov
enants, because their avowed purpose is
to subvert our society, and subject us,
not only to the loss of our property hut
the destruction of ourselves, our wives
and our children, and the desolation of
our homes, our alters, and our firesides.
To avoid these evils, we resume, the pow
ers which our Fathers delegated to the
Government of the United States, and
henceforth will seek new safeguards for
our liberty, equality, security and tran
quility,

In relation to other states, sovereignty meant
free government, national independence &e , and
iu its exercise all acts of political liberty whether
revolutionary or otherwise in ght he done. But
in regard to its iuternal attributes, it was controlled
by the gicat principles of law and justice. Ac.

Tho extent of this ordluanoe then does not go l>e- J
yondthe separation from the other States, aud the
withdrawal of powers she delegated.
Upon the p ist exercise of those powers by the re-
c.-at common ugeut, the ordinance does not assume,
nor was it designed to act. It has annulled none oi
its nets. The departments of that Government wei>
created to enable tae common agent to perform aud
cirrvout the powers delegated. Hence it is that the
Courts created by the Constitution, or authorized by
it were essential means to a great end. Oue of those
(’surfs, to-wit: the Circuit Court of the United States
f,.r Georgia, within its appropriate provjuci—that of
punishing violators of the laws of the United States
m ref Tehee to the m lil, has, utter the conviction of
the prisoaerby a Georgia jury; pronounced the judg-
meut proper to tho offence, and the prisoner is now
performing that sentence, which when uttered was
I u ,ul constitutional. The law violated was a law
made in part by representatives from Georgia—the
Court was created iu part by Georgia representatives.
T«e Judges presiding wore citizens of Georgia. In
truth the Court whilst established by the authority ot
tho Constitution of the United States is in part the
creation of the State of Georgia and its judgments
ought to be held as sacred an l as inviolable us the
ju tgments of the Stute Courts proper.
I am at a loss to perceive wheretu the judgement
sought to be affected here is illegal or unconstitu
tional; or why it should be placed upon a different foot
ing from the judgment of the State Courts. I can
verv well see how judgments to be enforced from
tJ, a t court, may temporarily be delayed, for want of
an authorized officer to execute them: but there can
be no embarrassment where the judgment is already
executed as it is here in part, and needs no officer to
do any other net toward, its farther execution. It lias
not been shown time the ordinance has annulled any
ju.lgemnt whatever, neither in words nor by implica
tion. in letter or spirit docs it authorize such a genera!
gaol delivery aa would bo effected if the argument of
prisoner's counsel was soon I.
It is not simply the right of prisoner's counsel, but
it is boundeu duty to present, in behalf of his client
to the consideration ofthe Judge, all matters which
he may deem pertinent and defensive, and they should
be listened to respectfully, and be carefully weighed
I have done this, and it is proper to say that wit liout
considering any thing efee, bat the nuked ordinance
upon which prisoner prays a discharge-- I cannot die
cover anything to entitle him to go tree.
But since tlie making otj that ordinance, and before
the application for the Habeas Corpus, another ordi
nance was adopted by the Convention, which ratifies
and declares valid all judgements, etc., of the Court?
of the United States within the State of Georgia. This
I refer to, merely to evince the intention of the Con
vention in makiug its first ordinance: I do not place
the judgment I make on this application upon the an
tliorityand provisions of this latter ordinance. From
what t have said already, it will be apparent tliut I
did not need its ai l to strengthen my convictions ot
right and duty.
Toere is, however, another matter independent of
all that has been said, which if it stood alone would
have been sufficient to have authorized the detention
of the prisoner. It is that Georgia has contracted with
the General Government to detain, feed and clothe
urt lin tier l’ciiiteiitiary, the convicts ofthe Courts ol
that Government within this State, for a rain abb

JaaljH, I SCI.-Mr. Cohb, from tiie committee to
whom th*- subject was referred, reported tliut it was
in the opinion of the committee, unnecessary to ap
point a council of safety.
Mr. Ramsey of Muscogee, moved for the reconsid
eration of the ordinance adopted on Saturday, abol
ishing tue Federal, Circiii' and District Courts. He
said he was fiiliv aware of the difficulties the commit
tee, that many important amt necessary improvements
would be made t,, the ordinance, end that it would be
more acceptable to the Convention, lie thought
the ordinance should fix the snlury ofthe Judges, and
lie suggested other amendments which he regarded
necessai y.
Mr. Cobb of Clarke, hoped that the ordinance
would not be reconsidered. The ordinance is only
intended to b in operation until tlie Montgomery Con
vention sets. The object of the ordinance was mere
ly to fill the hiatus until then.
Mr. Hill said tnat the object desired by Mr. Harris
could be belter effected by a special ordinance.
Mr Harris said he thought it very doubtful whether
the Montgomery Convention would lake any action m
this matter. They will merely set in motion » Pro
visional government, until such time tm u more per
fect government eau be established—and that pro
visional government will be on the basis of the
Constitution of the United States. But lie desired
the salaries in the new Courts to be fixed und defined
and be thought those Con its ought to he established
a- admiralty Courts, and have criminal jurisdiction.
H<-did not think we bad Bsc lor nny of the old Fed
eral Court*, except ! he Admiralty one, us oilier ju
risdiction could be left to the State Courts. Only oue
Judge was nee -sarv for the Admiralty Court and he
thought i salary of twent-five bundled dollars sutti
ci°nl.
Mr. Cobb—There is no reason now to believe thut
n Circuit Judge will be apjoiinti d. He was assured
that Governor Brown win only appoint a district
Judge, and at a saLrv of twenty-live nnudred dollars,
it is certain that no federal Courts will have a session
before tlo- meeting of the Montgomery Convention.
If that Convention does not make provision tor such
Courts, lhis Convention can authorize the establish
ment of one or more immediately theieatter. We
can attend to this matter ut any tone, and he trusted
that its fnrtlier consideration will be suspended, ami
that the ordinance, as adopted on Saturday, will not
be interfered with.
Mr. Spencer of Tiiomns, said that if it was impor
tant th any ordinance should lie passed on this or
anvothersunject if was equally important tbal the
ordinnin e siiould he weD considered in all its bear
ings. IF- considered the ordinance us passed ou Sat
urday as oppressive to the people ol the State; it
was so very defective that it neither pleased those
who reported it and voted for it, nor those who op-
posed its adoption.
Mr. Douglas of Randolph said lie thought the mer
its and demerits of the ordinance should be fully dis
cussed and fairly presented. He was op]Mised to
Federal Courts, and in favor of county and Stale
courts, and argued many reasons in favor of hi- views
and closed witti the assertion, “111111 having thrown off
all of our ol 1 Federal chains, he desired now to live
und die a freeman ”
Judge Nisbet opposed tlie reconsideration, and
paid a high compliment to the judicial system, em
ployed ill liie United States Courts.
Judge Stephens and others engaged in the debate.

The IVesident stated that tlie hour had arrived for
the Convention to receive the Hon. Thhmns W,
While, Commissioner from the State of Mississippi.
Mr. White was introduced, and addressed the Con

Mr. Colquitt, from the committee ou foreign affairs,
made the following report:
The committee on foreign affairs, to whom was re
ferred the duty of recommending to the convention
soilnble persons to fill the offices of Commissioners to

which is now presented The laws ai> to be exe

at least it is a great misapprehension of the case,

I well remember an occasion when Massachu

and when the doctrine of coercion was rife aud to

proceedings at a late hour were brought to « eha-e.
Bill of Sights.
Mr. CoHS. from tlie Committee on tlie Consti
tution and Laws of tho State, and tlie Constitu
tion and Laws of the Ubited States, made the fol
lowing
RETORT:
The fundamental princi lesofFree Government
cannot be too well understood, or too often recur
red to, hence we declare this
BILL OF RIGHTS.
All Government derives its authority from the
consent of the governed; who may modify, alter,
or annul the same, whenever their safety or hap
piness requires it. No Government should be
changed for slight or transient causes—nor unless
upon reasonable assurance that a better will be
established.
J’rotectioii to person and property is the consid
eration of allegiance: and a Government which
knowingly and persistently denies or withold*
such protection from the governed, releases them
from the obligation of obedience.
No citizen shall be deprived of life, liberty, or
property, except by due process or law; and of lifi-
or liberty only by the judgment of his peers.
The w rit of Hnhias Corpus shall not be suspen
ded, unless when in case of rebellion or invasion
tiie public safety may require it.
A well regulated Militia being necessary to the
security of a Free State, the right of the People to
keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
The prevalence of tlie Christian Religion among
the People, and the basis of Christian principles
underlying the laws, entitle this State to be
ranked among the Christian Nations of ihe earth;
and as those principles are independent of all po
litical organizations, no religious test shall ever I‘ £ follows that it ceased
be required for the tenure of an office, and no re criminals
ligious establishment allowed; and no citizen shall
be deprived of any right or privilege by reason of
bis religious belief.
Freedom of Thought and Opinion—Freedom of
Speech, and Freedom of the Press, are inherent
elements of Political Liberty. But while every
cilizen may freely speak, write, and print, on any
subject, he shall bo responsible for the abuse of
the liberty.
T he right ofthe people to appeal to tho Courts;
to petition Government on all matters of legiti
mate cognizance: and peaceably to assemble tor
'lie consideration cf any matter of public concern
—can never be impaired.
For every Right, there should be provided a
Remedy—and every citizen ought to obtain jus
tice without purchase, without delay—conforma
bly to the Laws of the land.
Every person charged w ith an offence against
the Laws ofthe State, shall have
1, The privilege and benefit of Counsel.
2, Shall be furnishdd, on demand, with a copy
of the accusation, and a list of the witnesses
against him.
’3, Shall have the compulsory process of the
Court to obtain tiie attendance of bis own witnes
ses.
4, Shall be confronted with tlie witnesses testi-
tntion of the U. S . as a compact of political lib“rty. j
its object to guar mtee and preserve the civil rights;
our piuvinciai condition exisied without political
connexion, and consultation devised common
counsel, for defence. Patriotism carried the germ
of political Union, baptiz'd on the battle field,
destroyed by fanaticism with the dews of its bap
tism wet upon its forehead. Are.
The first confederation like the council of the
Amphictious teil from irapotency to execute its de
crees. then came the compact of the Constitution
exercising delegated powers and blending the ex- j
ternal sovereignty of the States, represented a j
United national independence to the world, while.
the interna! sovereignty of the States, remained :
over ail questions of civil and municipal right, j
within their respective jurisdiction.
In pursuance of these delegated powers, laws
were passed by Congress against the crime with
which the defendant stands charged. The U. S
Courts had no common law, criminal jurisdictions
and laws were passed carrying die Constiiution in
ro effect' These laws were as much violated in
this case, against Mass vs. Georgia, for the postal
laws were laws of the U ri of force everywhere
irrespective of the internal sovereignty of the
States, for at tlie time this offence was committed
Georgia hud no laws ou this subject; as long as
she remained a party to tho Constitution and Gov
ernment of the U. 8 , these laws had force aud
elfect here, but she could pass no laws until she re
sumed her political liberty, against mail robbery,
and after her act of secession, any Ians passed for
crime committed were and are tr post facto. 'Ve
have no power to punish crimes committed
against a Foreign Nation, or in violation of its
laws. We cannot resume in our act of political
liberty the power of punisbiug crimes committed
before the act, Are
7th. Acts of political liberty cannot be in viola- I
lion of civil liberty, they are intended to protect. 1
The act of secession was an abrogation of tiie con- I
stitution of the U 8., its laws, ii.s judgments its I
powers. By that act of Georgia tlie pardoning
power ceased over convicts here. If tiie State of
Georgia is no longer under the Government ofthe
U. 8. then the Tresident ins no authority here
even over convicts, it ceased as to forts, arsenals
and public property, it ceased as to laws aud
over crimes aud over
county, her estimate being $2-q0jO,iM)0.
But the question may be propounded, have we
abolished the judgments of tie Courts 1 The answer
is, you deemed it necessary to pass tin ordinance to
give them force and vitality.; and a? to the oaths ot
citizens to support the Constitution of tiie United
States, you have abolished the oath and make it trea
son to give it support or aid. The act of secession
then Imd power to strike off an oath and amend an ob
ligation to God. I; certainly has the jkmvci to strike
off the fetters from this mail’s arms.
Nth. But the ordinance of which the Court will take
judicial cognizance, which took p issession of these
convicts, and annulled in fact, the control of the Unit
ed State,-over them, defeated, iu my judgment, the in
tent ion it was supposed to subserve.
The only maimer of holding the Prisoner, was to
have stood by the authority of tiie United States to
hold them. Georgia accepted the defendant as a
Jailor under a per diem pay, to keep him subject to
the orders of the President. Upon the conditions of
good faith and the comity of nations. Georgia might
still have held them, (conceding the net of secession
lid not enure to their freedom and discharge,) and
kept them subject to the order and power iff the Pres
idenf. But the moment laws were passed, changing
the custody which was legal, to the custody of Geor
gia which was illegal; iu other words, taking them to
hold ns prisoners of Georgia, the net tore off the chain
law placed ou them to put on one tore: alone has
locked.
Georgia could lmve held them, ns nn Agent, but as
suming to be the principal, she annulled the contract
by which she held them as Agent, The Convention
has made the Governor President, and ns such, what
right has he tu pardon these convicts 1 Surely we
must look beyond all Constitutions, and all laws to
grant the power of holdiog the prisoners of foreign na
tions as our own.

men were crcaled equal—meaning the men of a po
litical community; that there was no divine right
to 111 !e; that no man inherited the right to gov
err.; that there were to classes by which power
and place descended to families: but that all
stations were equally within the grasp of each
member of the body politic. These were the
great principles they announced; these were the
purposes for which they made their declaration;

a* directed. They have no reference to the slave;
else, how happened it that among the items of ar-
raignmerit male against George III. waR that he en-
dcavi red to do just what the North has been endeavor
ing of late to do, to stir up insnrreelion among our
slaves ? Had the declaration announced that the ne
groes were free and equal, how was the Prince to be
arraigned for stirring up insurrection among them ?
And bow was this to he enumerated among the high
crimes which caused (he colonies to sever their eon
ueetion with the mother country ? When our Consti
tution was formed, the same idea was rendered more
palpable, for there we find provision made for that
very class of persons as property; they were not put
upon the footing of equality with white men ; not even
upon t lint of paupers and convicts; but, so tar ss rep
resentation wus concerned, were discriminated against
as a lower caste, only to be represented in the numer

dress the injHries she has sustained, nnd wus still fur
