Milledgeville, 14th Dec. 1533.
i The Central Committee having organized
itself hv choosing Gen. D. 11. Mitchell, , bar
man and Col. N. Sayre, Secretary,—On mo
tion, a sub-committee of th ee consisting of
Messrs. Rockwell, Green and Sayre was ap
pointed by the Chair, who were instructed to
i report Resolutions and an Address, for ! :r con
sideration ol tlie friends ol State Slights in Geor
gia—which committee subsequently repotted
the following Resolutions and Address, which
were adopted—and ordered to be published in
the Stale Bight’s papers of the State and in
Pamphlet lot in.
Resolved, i hat it lie respectfully, hut earnest
ly recommended to the friends of State Rights
throughout the State, to form with as little delay
, as possible county associations, with the view
to a complete harmonious organization of the
State Bights Party of Georgia.
| Resolved, That these associations when for
j mod bo respectfully requested to notify the
names of their others to the chairman of the
Central Committee at Milledgeville.
Resolved, That tlie committee elect from its
own body an Executive committee to consist of
three and a Treasurer—said Treasurer to be
subject to the directions of said executive com
mittee in all disbursements by him made on ac
count of tlie State s Rights’ party of Georgia.
A DDK SSS.
To the friends of State. Rights'’ in Georgia.
j The Central Committee of the State
I Rights’ Party in Georgia, to wh >ra has been
| confided a high and important trust, in accepting j
j the same, most earnestly ask the co-operation
ot their li.liow-citizcn . throughout the State, in
such measures, as v, nsnre unanimity in sup
porting those great ;::;J conservative principles
of State Rights, hitherto so cfR • tcious in pros
trating the encroaching spirit of consolidation.
The achievement of this unanimity, so import
ant to the trium h of these principles, must es
sentially depend upon this formation of lueul as
sociations, in the several of this State:
j in conformity to the plan recommended by the
I State Rights Meeting recently held in Mil
lodgevillej and upon the dissemination, by the
agency of these local associations of those
great political truths, maintained by the illus
trious Jefferson, affirmed by the \ irginia and
Kentucky Resolutions, and sanctioned by the
approbation of the purest potciots ofour court j
try.
The state of political parties in Georgia, calls (
loudly tor this concert of action, to preserve all
that is dear to freemen. A spirit fatal to con.
| stitulional liberty is abroad. The lepublican
j*Uoctrines ol ’1)8 and 99 are in danger of being
overthrown. They ate covertly assailed by
treacherous friends and insidious foes. And in
their place, there is sought to be established,
antagonist doctrines, alarming to liberty, and
subversive of our civil rights, if these doctrines
prevail, then farewell to freedom; then will the
altar of our political faith be desecrated —its vo.!
taries dispersed—its glories extinguished.
Seizing upon the popularity of a name, and j
repudiating the one by which they were former- j
ly known, our adversaries have recently formed
a new party, composed of a coalition oj the Fe.
deralists of the old school, and the consolidation,
ists of the present day, ofthe expectants of office
and the parasites of power. This motly party
under the specious but deceptive cognomen of
! “Union ,” are endeavoring to inculcate principles
; and establish doctrines adverse to the vital prin.
! ciplcs of the Constitution, and fatally and -struc.
live of the deares* rights of their own State. I
Hypocritically pretending to accord with the
political views of Jefferson. and dissetnblingly
professing the principles of repubh anism; tin. v
have adopted all f federalism but the name.
Thus, the sovereignty of the Oovcrnme t q! the
United States is maintained—allegiance to its !
functionaries in. ulcated—the dogmas of the
proclamation of tin fatal 10th of December
applauded—the despotic pro vi-ions of the Force
Rill sanctioned—its supporters cherished —
and the independence and sovereignty of their
own State denyed ! The tendency oftheseiloc- .
trines; is obviously pernicious, ana if successful!
must inevitably, sooner or later, ,result in the j
overthrew of constitutional liberty, and in the!
tion of a consolidated despotism upon i’3
r uns.—Thoir argument js submission, their
ilustralion is slavery. While this party ax*
thus actively and zealously engaged in the ac
complishment ol their unholy work, they spara
n re ! .s. they intermit no exertions, in casting
o.n . the friends of State Rights; their mo
• -ienedly misrepresented, and thera
v. roarked out for proscription. Theterrr.3
disuiii.it. i.jt: , rebels, traitors, and other oppre.
brious epithets are as familiar among the mem.
hers of this party, from the highest to the lowest,
as household words, and arc uvitacriuv.nately
applied to all who would arrest the Gen ral
Govern .ent, in its march to absolute power,
and restore the constitutional chatter to its ori
ginal purity. The State Rights party indignant
ly cast back these unworthy epithets. Are they
“disunionists,” who affirm that the pore era of the
General Government, result Jrom the constitu.
tiona! compact to which the States are sovereign
parties ? .ire they “JJebels” who maintain, that
these powers an limited “by the plain sense and
intention of the instalment constituting that com.
pact ?” Are they “Traitors” who assert that
these powers arc “no further valid than as they
are authorised by the grants enumerated in that
compact, and (lint in case of a deliberate palpable
ana dangerous exercise of other powers, not
granted by the said compact, the Stales who are
parlies thereto have (he right and arc in duty
bound to interpose for arresting the progress of
lbe evil and for maintaining uithin their rape;,
tire limits the authorities lights and liberties,
appertaining to sovereign States ?” Are they
obnoxious to the epithets of “ disunionist, rebel,
traitor,” wito claim that each of the States in
virtue of its sovereignty is “the rightful judge
in the lust res-ji t, whether the bargain made ha3
been pursued or violated ; and who declare that
“each party lias an equal right to judge for itself
as well of infractions as of the mode and measure
of redress ?” If so, then were the democracy
of Virginia and Kentucky “disunionists,” for
these doctrines have passed the ordeal f their
scrutiny and received tlieir highest sanction :
Then was the great apostle of liberty Thomas;
Jefferson a “ Rebel and a Traitor” for these are
his doctrines. But no ! He was no Rebel, no
Traitor ! A far different judgement has been
pronounced upon tnis gifted statesman; a judge
ment, that ltas rendered his name illustrious;
and his doctrines sacred.
For inculcating these principles, the friends
of .Stall 1 Georgia haVe received tl. .
unmeasured denunciations of those, who in their
’ struggles for power, have lost their attachmc:/.
to the State in which they arc protected and
cherished.
Disunionists ! Rebels !! Traitors!!! They at o
“disunionists” who would endanger the integri -
ty of the constitution, by submitting to its infrac.
lions. Th.v are “rebels,” who would trucklu
to undolegate I power. They are “traitors,’’
who would place the independence and sove.
i reignty of their own Statu at the footstool ot
j federal supremacy.
The History of the Government of the Uni
ted Stales exhibits lire ulter uselessness of parcii
meat restrictions upon the exercise of its pro
rogntives : Vain indeed is the reliance ujHmthe
cheeks and balances ofconsliljticnal provision.*,
—iutilo the counterpi'Sie of deligated power, Uj
arrest the progress of its usurpations. That
events of the passing hour fully demonstrate tho
constant tendency oftlie General Government,
to transform the federative system into one con--
solidaled sovereignty; and as fully prove tho
our political adversaries in this State, are ready
and willing to aid in the transformation.—When
were the leaders of this party ever found on tho
side of Georgia in her struggles for her rights ?
V\ hen were they ever found battling for her hon
or, when her sovereignty was invaded ! Never.
