Report of tlie Committee
of the Republic.
The Joint Committee on tbe State of the Repub'
lie, to which wes referred those portions of the
Governor’s Message and tho several Bills and
Resolutions relating to the subject of slavery,
introduced into either Branch of the Legisla
ture, beg leavo to
Report:
That they have given the most deliberate and
solemn attention to the various suguestions embrac
ed in propositions submitted to them, referring to
tbe subject of slavery, and hare with minds fully
impressed with the great significance that must be
given to any action whatever on this matter at the
present hour, arrived at the conclusions that we
should, as far as the State of Georgia is concern
ed, recommend such action as shell compose the
public mind, suppress any farther agitation of a
controversy in which for more than twenty years
the South bus been constantly worsted, or propose
some efficient and practical measures thnt shall
prove the sincerity of our cnmplnrots, and at tbe
same lime redress our wrongs. It is vain to deny
that we the iujured party, have for a series of years
by a vacillating and temporizing policy only assur
ed the courage of our assailants, and invited by an
excessive sensibility on tbe subject of the ultimate
consequence* of decisive action, further and still
more iniquitous experiments upon our forbear
ance and patience. The best defence of liberty
is the first blow stricken iu its defence and for the
first right violated. With all the accumulated in
jury of fifteen years that we have had to endure
from the anti-slavery States, and that we so sensi
bly feel to-day, we yet do not feel more keenly,
nor do we express more forcibly our sense of this
outrage than did tbe Legislature of Georgia twen
ty-two years ago, upon tbe bare proposition oftlie
friends of colonization to vote an appropriation
for the removal of free negroes to Liberia. Yet
the Joiut Committee ou the State of the Repub
lic, in the year 1827, declared in reference to this
subject so harmless in tho comparison with the au
dacity of recent legislation, “that they could not
help reprobating the cold blooded selfishness or
unthinking zeal which actuates many of our fel
low-citizens in the other States to an interference
with tbe local concents and domestic relations; to
tally unwarranted either by humanity or constitu
tional right. Such interference is becoming every
day more determined and more alarming. It com
menced with a lew unthinking zealots, who form
ed themselves into abolition societies'; was seized
upon by more cunuiog aud designing men for pol
itical purposes, and is supported by more than one
of the States, us is evident from the amendments
to the Constitution proposed by tbe legislative bod
ies, and so frequently and indeed insultingly pre
sented for our approbation. The result of sutb
interference if persovered in, is awful and in
evitable. The people of Georgia know and strong
ly feel the advantages of the Federal Union ; as
members of that Union, they are proud of its
greatness; as children born under that Union, they
will ever defend it from foes internal as well as
external; but ibey cannot aud will nut even for the
preservation of the Union, permit tbeir rights to be
rendered worthless; they will not permit tbeir
wives and children to be driven as wauderers into
strange lauds; they will not permit tbeir couutrv
to be uiude waste and desolate by those who come
nmung us under the cloak of a time serving and
hypocritical benevolence. How then is the evil
to be remedied ? Only by a firm and determined
union of *be people and the States of the South
declaring through tbeir legislative bodies in a voice
which must be heard, that they are ready aud will
ing to make any sacrifice rather than submit lon
ger to such ruinous interference, and warning their
enemies that they are unwittingly preparing a
mine which ouce exploded, will lay our much be-'
lureJ country iu oue common ruiu.” Such lan
guage as this the patriotic guardians of our State
thought the crisis of 1827 justified. Who now
with the lights of 1849 before him, aud tbe enor
mities ol northern aggiessiou since thedays of this
remonstrance but feels that either tbe grievances
of twenty years ago were vastly exaggerated, or
we have suffered that quick resentment aud sen
sibility to wrong to fall into decay, and our minds
to become putieut and culm undermflictions which
would have beeu intolerable to the high spirits of
that day. But it may be urged ill defence of the
long snU’eriiig of the South, that her attachment to
this uuiuu has been a kin to a sacred devotedui ss.
That from uo huckstering spirit of profit or of lu
cre loving have we clung to it with such tenacity,
that a quarter of a century of outrage upon our
rights and of psltering with our capability of en
durance bus barely been enough to induce us to
count thevulueof it. With the whole South this
U.nou hits beeu regurded as dear to ns from a high
er, a nobler appreciation than because it “promot
ed the general welfare." It bus been dear to us
because purchased with tbe bluod of our fail.er-,
because transmitted to us with their benedictions,
aud because we hud hoped under its sway to see
human liberty aud biiiuuu progress advance to
that point that should give the uauie of American
freedom as a guarantee fur any future experiments
in self-government.
h"pe. It has beeo our fault that we have in every ' of this State, shall each be entitled and bhall elect:
instance inv. ted imposition by indicating a yield- I four Delegates iu said Convention, and the coun-
disposition, which only required to be hard ( lies which are entitled to one Representative,
shall each elect two Delegates to said Convention..
Sec. 3d. And be it further enacted. That befoie
entering uu the duties of tbeir office as delegates,
the delegates shall tako the folknvyig oath, which
shall be administered by some Judicial officer of
the State: 1 do solemnly swear, iu presepco
ofAIraiguty God that X will to tbe best of tnyabili-
ty demean myself as a delegate of tho people of
IbisState, and act for tbo honor and interest uf tbo
people of Georgia.
Sec. 4th. And be it further enacted, That said
election for delegates shall be conducted and held
in the same manner as elections for members of
the Legislature are uow beld iu this State. And
that all returns of the elections be forwarded to the
Governor of this Slate, who shallupon application,
furnish each delegate elected with a ceruhcato of
election.
See. 5th. Amt be it farther enacted. That said
Convention shall elect all officers necessary to*
tbeir organization.

So it was in the controversy with the anti-slavery
States which gave birth to the Missouri Compro
mise. Iu this mis-named surrender of South
ern rights, who can shew a particle of considera
tion passing to tbe South? When, iu this oue sided
compromise, is there to be found the least recipro
city? Yet we gave into this unreasonable and un
just requirement, and avowed a love for this Uuion
which would iiotsuffer us to part with it,though
the North was seekiug to make us pay in valuable
and unrighteous concessions for every day of its
existence. This compromise, by which we bought
ourptace for more than uquarter of a ceutury, we
observed with punctilious honor, and when in ibe
course of events it came to the turn of this portion
of the Union to be bcueOtted by tbe operation of
ibat law we find tbe Northern States unblusbing-
Iy repudiating tbeir own, contract, aud when call
ed upon to re-affirm their own long expressed
ratification of this compromise, they refused to do
so; aud as evincive of their deliberate purpose to
evade tbeir plighted faith, they sought to orgauize
a territory embraced in' the spirit of ibis compro
mise f by which every thing had been for years se
cured to them,) upon the unti-slavery basis, in the
uumitigaled aud obnoxious shape of the Wilmot
Proviso. The North now disavows the Missouri
Compromise, becauseof the inevitable implication
involved in that law, that if uorth of3G 30 slavery
is prohibited, south of ibat line it may exist. Pass-
ingoverthe insincerity now so transparent, with
which the anti-slavery States opposed the Slat
Rule of the House of Representatives, iheirspeci-
ous attacks against that wholesome and conserva-
live check upon fanaticism, under the guise if a
zeal fir the right of petition, wecome to the more
recent legislation of Congress ou the subject of
slavery. And uow can any Southern man,at all
cuuversant with the history of the abolition move
ment from its inception, longer doubt that the first
aim of that agitutiuu was a total and filial emanci
pation of our slave property. Why should we
doubt it.’—Because of tbe bad faith iuvolved?—
Was t.V ‘r treachery and selfishness so blended be
fore iu the public couduct uf auy civilized States
ns is showu in the course tbo North has pursued
in regard to this compromise we have just spoken
of? Because of tbe daring violation of private
rights or Constitutional provisions and guarantees’
Cun tbe perfidy of mau go farther than several of
tbe Northern States have gone iu their practical
nullification of theluws securing to the South the
privilege of reclaiming her refugee slaves; or can
auy vandalism improve upon the savage proposi
tion oftlie last Congress to permit the slaves of
the District ofColumbiato vote themselves the
equals of their masters. This brings onr enemies
iu oue step of the goal they have kjgpt their eyes
steadily fixed upon for twenty years, and has
brought us, too, iu one step ot the lust dishonor
that call be reserved for ua. They have but to lay
iheir bauds on slavery in tbe States, and we make
oue more submissive and feeble remonstrance, aud
the great work is fiuished.
Iu view therefore of the past history of this war
upon the peace, the rights, and the safety ot the
South—iu view ofils preseut aspects, aud in anti
cipation of its future progress, wu report to the
House for its action the following Preamble and
Resolutions, accoinpauied by a Bill providing for
the call of a Convention of the sovereign people, of
this State.
Whereas, The people of the nqu-slave holding
States have commenced and are persisting iu a
system of encroachment upon the Constitution aud
the rights of a portion of tho people of this Con
federacy, which is alike unjust and dangerous to
the peace aud perpetuity of our cherished Uuion,
Be it
1st. Resolved, By the Senate and House of Repre

States is oue of limited powers, and cannot right
fully exercise uny authority not conferred by tbe
Constitution.
2d. Resolved, Thut tbe Constitution grants no
power to Congress to prohibit the introduction of
slavery iuto any territory belonging to the United
States.
3d. Resolved, That the several States of the
Union acceded to the Cuntederncy upon terms ol
perlei t equality, and thatthe rights, privileges and

4th. Resolved, TJint any aud all Territory acquir
ed by the United Slates, whether by discovery,
purchase or couquest, belongs in common to the
people of each State, and thirlher the people ol
each State and every State have a common right
to emigrate with uny property they may possess,
aud that auy restriction upon this right, which
will operate in favor of tbe people of one section
to the exclusion of those of auoiber, is unjust, op
pressive and unwarranted by the Constitution.

respect of auy member of ibis Confederacy by
contemptuous comparisons, or by a pragmatical
and patronising interference with the iutcrunl pol
icy aud interests of uny State (
Or wlieu did her pulp’t lend itself to fan the
tluuie of civil discord ; or when iu our borders was
tbe temple uf tbe liviug God, made the theatre of
display lor the rancorous hate uf brother against
bis brother? Let these reproaches fall where
they are deserved, the South has no dread of them.
From the earliest date u( tbe slavery controversy,
the South bus eviuced a yieldiug aud conciliatory
spirit. For it will be hard, indeed, fur any one to
show the slightest mutuality iu the concession
made ou the part uf the South, of all representa
tions ol two-fittbs qt her slave population. Cun
auy fair reason be urged why tbe South should
not have entered iuto this Confederacy ciuiuiiug a
full representation for this species of property. If
taxaliou implies a correlative right of representa
tion, then was the Southern slaveholder unjustly
treated, when it was demanded of biin that be
fore he could enter this Uuiuu as a citizen, be must
first surrender the right of having two-filths ol
his slaves represented, when that two-fifths were
as certainly taxed ou ull articles of tbeir consump
tion as were their musters. But yet the South
yielded this point. She consented also to abolish
the foreign slave trade, by which she might have
cbeapiy supplied herself with slavo labor, aud
when the northernmost slave Stutes thought fit iu
abolish tbe institution iu tbeir borders, she inter
posed uo obstacles or vexatious hindrances, though
it might buve been clearly foreseen that Ibis result
would have beeu fruitful of trouble to those Stutes
thut would find their necessities or their conveni
ence demanding a continuation of the system. Iu
every interference with tlie question uf domestic
slavery by the North, sho has tailed and failed sig
nally to justify bereourse by any reasons of a pure
ly political character, aud much less by such po
litical reasons as are to betbund in or tolerated by
our Constitution. There could be uo other com-
plaint reasonably urged by tbe North against tbe
existence or the extension ot tbe slave property of
tbe South, but that the federal representation
claimed fur it was uuequul, aud therefore unjust
towards tbe North.
But as we have seen tbe only inequality iu this
is against tbo South, and not in her favor; it then
resolves itself iuto this, that this government, so
restricted iu tbe exercise of all power, is to be al
lowed to turn propagandist and devote its best en
ergies to the driviug through, against all resistance
uf plighted faith, of cuuslilutioiial law ; against
all claims of right, justice or fraternity, n moral
reforai.lbat has first and last foritsobject,a forcible
ejectment from our midst of what is denounced as
a gross immorality, aud a determination to give
practical effect to the idea that this Government,
as a Government, entertains of the sin of slavery.
it is the first and lust instance furnished by our
history, iu which this government has thought it
rightful or expedient to subsidise religious agen
cies by tbo strong arm of political power. It
would require but ouo short step further in this
attempt to regulate a matter ol conscience, to see
uurduly clearly dictating a union of Church and
State. We feci it lobe uunecessagy to trace ibis
controversy step by step to its present critical, if
not perilous stage.
If we should do so with the minutest fidelity, its
history would at every turn only shew, bow n-
taut the South has been to bring tbu grave matters
in issue t» that extremity which would leave the
into friends of harmoev ted U-im AD'.hiAg to
slaves, who bjve escaped to said States, upon pro
per demaud being made therefor, is a plain and
palpable violutiou of the letter uf the Constitution,
aud an intolerable outrage upon Southern rights.
8th. Resolved. That iu tbo event of the passage
oftlie Wilmot Proviso by Cungress, ibe abolition

sion of California as a State, in its preseut pretend
ed orgauizutiun, or the continued relusal ot the

and iu that ill-protecting grey coat envelope tho

through tho night; uor does a morning sun now

comes on. But here we are in tbe midst of Octo

the light forms of lovely women glancing duwu

The wharves are heaped up with merchandise,
the streets are lined with ponderous boxes and
bales uf goods, (and somebody says to tbe Coun

The Markets are well supplied with fruits of
the ci untry, and the products of our viues—dea
iicious grapes, tor which Calili rnia can merifori-
o inly claim unexcelled qualitie:— are brough'in
from tbe interior in great abundance. Speaking
of a dance, a grand faucy ball came off Uie other
evening at the Bella Union, which was weli attend
ed by tbe generality of tall goingfcbaracters about
town. The Steuiner Mint having commenced re
gular trips to Sacramento City, on her last, brought
iuto this market a supply of fresh Sacramento Sal
mon, which very readily sold at one dollar tbe
pound. Think of this, ye Eastern epicures, u
single fipli iu California sold for forty-live dollars!
Tbe rainy season, which may commence “in all
uext month," suggests to those owuing perishable
goods, uow exposed to tbe weather, that a good
shelter will eoou be required; and toso-jourunrs in
canvass houses, that tbeir roofs may need repair.

Cau we mt, furthermore, rewiud owuerg and
musters of vessels in this harbor, that every pre
caution should at ouce be taken to guard against
the evil consequences of a norther. Good berths
should be early secured, and sufficient and propec
ground tackle brought into use, otherwise, tlio
cmniug season of uortbers will prove disastrous to
shipping iu the bav.
