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, Clcor^ia ( onicntion,.

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. 5th‘ file Sovereignty of Kings which was re garded a divine right was under control whether the anentitv or unity of power, no matter when lodged, usage, custom, religious public opinion all | limited it. To give unlimited power to the i sovereignty of the people, to trample on laws, re | iigion and right would be to establish a worse ; ; than despotism. The monarchy ot England was I ja divided sovereignty, and limited the Sultan I But it is, nevertheless, a source of pride ! dare levy no new tax on his people. The Ernpe- j ion t" this country. because we know that 1 ror of France had to take ail oath to preserve the j 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 SPECIAL NOTlf EC Thousands arc daily ffprakin* in the prai<*> of DR.

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.

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 several designated States, have had the some under consideration, and report: For Virginia—H.

The special order of the day was the ordinance to make provisional arrangements for the continuance of c un uercial facilities iu Georgia. The ordinance provide* that custom house affairs continue us for merly, until otherwise ordered; und gives power to the Governor, under certain contingencies, to take possession of all the custom houses, and appoint col lectors, &<•., Ate. The minority report from Ihe same committee was substantially the ordinance adopted l»y the Conven- • ion of South Carolina, with this addition, that in ease the United States Government utlempt any co ercive ii,.-asur , then goods, wares and merchandise, • rom all the Stales of the Union, shull be taxed as K u * | fr °'' f “ rr ' irn nations i ii ‘"'•ved to hnve the latter clause omit- tea, »ut the Convention refused to strike it out may reclaim the grants which it has made to any | agent whomsoever.

Archibald Gractc.—We take pleasure in announcing the fact that Capt. Archibald Gracie, of the Mobile Washing ton Light Infantry, who has been recent ly engaged in taking possession of the U nited States Arsenal at Mount Vernon, is the worthy descendant of South Car olinians, and is nearly allied to one of our there are no laws of the United States to be txe-j most respectable families in this city, cured within the limits of a seceded State. A j C'apt.

I well remember an occasion when Massachu setts was arraigned before the bar of the Senate, and when the doctrine of coercion was rife aud to be applied against her because of tlie rescue of a fugitive slave in Boston My opinion then was the same it is now. Not in a spirit of egotism, but to show that 1 am not intluenced in iny opin ion because the case is my ow n, I refer to that time and that occasion us containing tlie opinion which I then entertained and on which my pres ent conduct is based. ] then said if Massaeliu setts, following her through a stated line of con duct, chooses to take the last step which separates her from the Union, it is her right to go, and 1 will neither vote one dollar nor one man to coerce her back, but will say to her, God speed, in memory of fli*- kind associations which once exist ed between her and the other States.

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. 1 Prisoners of war are delivered up.

These were the great principles they announced; these were the purposes for which they made their declaration; :be*e were the ends to which their enunciation 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 ?
