It would be the greatest misfortune that could befal us as a people to TU'*st.uUesecri 1 and private arrangements in affairs of Gov ernment, for the free and open discussion !of principles and measures, which has iiap pUy prevailed in tills county, since the dec laration of American Independence. If the hypothesis on which our Govern ments State and Fedir il, are establishe 1 be true, that man is capable of self govern ment, it follows that he will act intelligent- ( ly in selecting the means of promoting hit individual and social happiness Our con stitutiocs. State and Federal, prove that our . ancestors have done all that wisdom and forecast of man could accomplish, to provide for the happiness ami prosjerity of them selves and their posterity. It was a day light work. It was not done in a cot ner. All , the light that human reason and intelligence could shed upon it illuminated every step ol j its progress to consummation. Hearts full j of patriotism and devoid of crrupi ye trning after office and its emoluments were in it —i If the work is not ]>er. f eet it is not because , the Artificers engaged in it were not faith ful Loaest an l skillful. When they were a- j bjut to coinpie e it: they lo -k'-d uj-oa it, and ! liketru'y gre it men diffident of themselves- ] and knowing that experience iu the opera < t on of their system might th-vehipe defects J which had cot been detected by theyf, and j that in the distant future, new exigencies 1 might arise which wtuld render a change .ndi.-j.eusably necessary to the safety* and j happiness of the miHkms of people destined to enjoy its blessings, ptrovi led tor the tank < ing of that cha>gc. 1 The mode in which amendments are pro posed to be made proves that the framers of the Constitution never contemplated that their descendant sh uld take tounc: to et - er on them in secret cl qurs bu that sup. t o e l defects would be pointed cut, altera tions j reposed, and that the whhle matter i should be fully and frankly discussed by the 1 people nnd their Representatives, in their | Legislat’ve Assemblies that all the lighl 1 rhat troth reason and argument could shed j upon it. might be brought into requisition, and that what was right should he done, up on the friendly consultation of intelligent j uib.ds h. ving no objects but the } u hi - good i The people of the South ought to look well ! to it before they countenance, by their ap i proval e.n i example secret conddnat ons to j lefeat either their constitnti n or laws.— j Their rights depend on a fair exposition ot the constitution, and an honest support i)f it What right is m ;re clearly defined in the 1 constitution, than that of the Southern slave ‘ owner, to have Ms fugitive slave found in n free State, ueliverel up: None whatever Congress has mat ed a law to enforce it.— The law to enforce cannot impose a higer m nnl obligation on tiecitl::-n than the cn s:itution, winch requires it. Both c >nsti tution and law have been opp. r ;sed, even to • blsod she*l and murder, and the execution j of the law and constitution lias been forci- ; bly prevented There is no stronger guar anty to be found in the constitution in favor of the slave holders’ right of property, than there is iu favor of the Roman Catholics’ right of conscience. Both are protocol May, it not be well .asked of the anti Catho lic slave holder who resorts to secret confed eracies and com Lina ions to defeat the con stitmional rights of the CalhoLcs as free priviledged citiicns of this Union, if he caa complain oT the abolitionist, ttk n fcrorU to the same means to * l \fcat the sons’.l union and U j which Ik Ties . right to demand - -ho restoration of his stolen or nbseondln” . ♦ iKupetdy ? Can be complain of even opc-u j and forcible resistance: Moral guilt is complete with the combination to defeat; ■ physical resistance ennlAc&tbe law to pun- { ish the act ami facilitates the fwoof The oljccts and purposes of the secretoor der, arc not fully known. But public ru mor says, and the elections which have tak en plaeo. establish as one of their obj jots, the exclusion from office, of all professors of the Roman Catholic religion. If so, it is an nuiling iu practioe, one of the most valuable provision which protects alike the Catholic and Protestant. The original constitution, j snbiuittel to, and ritifiil by the people. ■ declares, that *• no religious test shall be re quired to any office of public trust under the | , United States *’ The very first amendment . of the constitution proves the high apprecia- ; tion placed by the people on religious libcr ! ly, fur tliey re<juired a stronger projection of the rights of conscience: and added that Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, qr prohibiting the free exercise thereof. Hence it will be seen, that so far as the government brought into existenoe by tb* adoption of the federal con stitution ia concerned the freedom of rciig ious faith was leit inviolate an l m-i<leinvio lablc. As citizens of the United States, we j owe obedience to tae constitution aud con stitutional laws of the United States, nnd the private citizen is a9 much bound morally to support all constitutional requirements as the official citizen is to enforce them by 5 Larislative enactments and ministerial effort. , As long as they exist, they sh.a<d he respect ed, obeyed and supported. There should be 1 no combination open or secret, to defeat them. If they are wrong or defective, they should be expunged or changed, and mads ! to conform to the public interest. I'isbelief; then in the Roman Catholic re : ligion, does not warrant assault upon the rights of the Roman Catholic believer, any • more, than for tty* same reason, assult may be made on the political rights of citizens of t the protestant faith. The constitutional ’ rights of both ought to he respected, and sus | twined If it be said that flie nssaolt is on the religion, nnd not on the folitical rights of the Roman Catholics and that tfcejjefest of political rights is only a mesne vt sttbdn ing the religion, let it be remembered that tho hypocrite alone who lias a highef regard i lor office thau for nr.y religion or religious faith* will be gained by it. If the order wsh to convince of i ellgious error, they must not expect to do it by pwrsccntion of any sort; they must excite no resen Ur.ants : and beget no hatred it may be urged that, ; the constitution of the United States pirht bits tlie federal government alone ftom in terfering with the religious litierty of the citizen, and that itc.w.tlns no ittlubit'.pn to the States, against-the establishment of rc- ISgtow. and that the States may establish a religion—[t will scarcely be a vowel that i one of the objects of society is to alter the ’ constitution of the State, and establish arc ■ . ligion in Georgia. Such an opinion will scarcely be entertained by any one But the carrying into Qffect the *)leged purpose of excluding a citizen from office on aecoant of his reUgiittii faith, is opposad to ?|ic Jdng / established jolicy of this State; sustained ;by stringent constitutional provisions. The people of tlris State Miowed the highest esti mate placed by them on religious liberty by declaring in their constitution, that uno . pet son within this State, shall, upon any 1 pretence, be deprived of the inestimable , privilege of wqrsltipping God in a manner) agreeable to his own conecienoe,” and by further declaring, that * no Religions socie ty shall ev r be ostablished in this State i in preference to another, nor shall any per son he denied the enjoyment of any Oivil i rnere.y on account of his religious ( ; principle. 1 ’ Arc these great ami cardnal j , principles of religious freedom to be practi - 1 caily exj.unged from tlie constitutions? Is ■ an esc-ption against the Rpman Cathctlic to i be interpolaled in fact or in practice ? Is j , any pure patriot of this land, attached to j j ’lie c< nstitution. cordially.iL-voted to the civ- | il and religious privileges ; which it secures j o every citizen, ready to spend h's time and | j • ffer up his iifj in t leir suppm t and ande r e, to be disfranchised because of his religious < ; f.ith ; because he is Roman Catholic ? If a i kspotisupover the heart and conscience is |to he established. I hope and trust, it will , have no advocates in Georgia, and gain no 1 i foothold here: but that, in a dark contest ! against reiig.o'is free lorn, every Georgian t , of whatever political party will lie. found on - | the side of the wntnd old principles of the; ; constitution an 1 liberty.

When a ruin cxpxtri- ■ ates himself, he adjures allegiance to the j | sovereignty to which be belonged, and for- j feits his right to look to it for pjttteetion If he connects himself with another govern J meat, with the consent of that government, j and pledges his allegiance to it, ha is enti- j ■ tied to its protection, for himself, his fafttily | and his property. If, in the new country of which he be- i comes a member, the private citizens arc cn- , titled to certain privileges, aud among them a voice in the choice of rulers, why should it be denied to liim ? There is but one ar gumeut against it, an l that is, that he may rn>t be sufficiently acquainted with the na- j ture of our government nud institutions to | j enable him to make a judicious selection The answer to that is, tn*t the law pre scriL-s for him & term of pupilage, with in which he may inform himself in these things. It appears to have been the policy of our State governm *nt, at a very early’ | erio-l, to admit foreigners to am- the rights or ‘citizenship. Before the adoption of the Federal Constitution, a resideuce of twelve months within the State, an 1 pr< o s os good character, and attachment by the certifi cate of the grand jury, entitled a foreigner to take the oath of allegiance to the State, and lie was declared by statute to l>e .. enti tled to all the rights, liberties and imutuni ties of free citizens he was nevertheless, incapable of holding office and of voting for members of the Gcueral Assembly, for <he ! term of seven years, and until, by special , act of the Legislature, he was enabled to do ‘so, 0n the adoption of the Federal Consti tution, and the enactment of anew iatt un der it for the naturalization of fbrergners, our State.law became inoperative aud void. The *©f of Congress took its place. As the terse of time requisite to indoctrinate them in the true principles of our government, must necessarily be a matter of opinion and judgement with those who have the au thoritv to fix it, the d : screti?*n followed the 1 power, and both were vested in Congress.— s Cougress has fixed five years as the term of pupilage, within which it was supposed they might acquaint themselves with these things. If in the judgment of the people, the term :of probation ought to be extended—if the naturalization laws are otherwise defective, let it be shown, and they can be amended ; * but the right of a foreigner to expatriate hisaself from his government can never he ’-disavowed in this county; and we can never claim from him the support of his head and his heart, las parse and his arms, and deny . 1 bn the rights and privileges of citizenship. If the terms on widely these rights are lo be {granted are fixed by law, and lie confoyms jto them, they form the government's com pact With him, and it cannot be violate*! ei ther by government or eitizen. without a j ’ breach of faith. The standard of merit and ; j qualification for office ought to be as much j regarded in a foreign born as in a native cit- i izea. and shquld be as Lightly appreciated ] in selections oilmen for office, and accident > ]of foreign birth ought not to visited on him ; as a crime. But, sir, a graver objection to this insti ] tution, so far as the^South is concerned, is to be found in its connection with open an l ] avowed abolitionists at the North—men in- 1 i iutuated by the spirit of fanaticism, ene- 1 i jhies of the Constitution, imbued with an j immitigable hatred of Southern people and < ! the.” institution of slavery, and ready to re I sort to nny device or any intrigue to destroy j j with a remorseless disregard of the hor- j r and consequences lhat may ensue. What ffifjth Is to be expected from such men : If i they profess to their Southern brethren of j J this fraternity, that they will abaudon their i u jMjsition to slavery,.do they not come with ! | gu; t in their Learts and falsehood on tlreir * !il - A heavy responsibility will rest on * the Southern men, if tliey form an alliance 1 and treaty ofTmsive and defensive with men | r empty professioßS, in hostility vrltli their 1 history and conduct iu the entire past Such i an a,! mce will give an insiduons enemy , strength, and enable him to aci-ouiydish bis neftiribus designs on oar const it rttional rigiils. It is to be hoped that they will pause before they take the fiual step and ! sal the bargin. Who belong to the Kn**w No lung organization at the North: The* great botly of the \\ hig party and unsound Democrats, who Lave become abolitionists • ai. freesoilers—men that Southern Demo- • ci'ats have denounced on account of their } fYee-iod and anti slavery principles Men i t ere belong to it, who have said thev intend * tj d:slr**y slavery Ly abolitionlzlng the ] ut;;. Men belong toll there* wholiavashid ; i -*ud voted that Congress has jai-isdlctifea !‘iverthe übject of slavery, and that’they ; w }. no* stay their hand until it is abol.slud , .dcu belong to it there, who have declared j in their public and private assemblies, and n their legislative bodies, that the fugitive S slave law shall not be executed amongst them Men belong to it there, who deny the right to establish slavery, and who hold j all regulations concerning it void. Men ’ b 1 mg to it there, who lay down ] r nclplcs j wuic : seem, upon a superficial examination, i to 1 ave but little or no bearing upon the in at, u.ion of siav.ry, but which, in their even'iu. operation, will destroy it. They i hoM in the first place, that in territory con tjuered from a foreign country where slave t rv h prohibited, this political regulation Laying a condition) shall become a law to tuc conqiti-mr* (wiio, by the laws of his country, may uwa slaves) to divest him ol 1 this spec.e# of his property. They jleny the * power of Congress to protect this kind u! property from aggression and wrong, nud have refused their protection, thus drawing a di-t'ngfloß against it, and to that extent ‘ putt : g the owner out of the protection of bis gouraatcat. Idcr. belong Li: there, who aim at the ul t. destruction of slavery, by the ndmis sii nos tree States to a number sufficient to •ft ct an amendment of the Federal Consti tution. and give Congress jurisdiction over the sutij >et. Men beloug to it there of eve ry variety, but all of whom agree in the two dungs—first, that slavery ought to be abo lished, and secondly, that it shall be abo lished. Sorely, Southern men will consider these thirg*, as if they have associated the mselves with this order for the purpose of accom plishing objects which they believed to be beneficial to the country, finding the grave .error into wiiicii they have fallen, will they not separate themselves from it ? Tlieseen - c j of the moveiiK-ut is wrong, and contrary to 1 the spirit and genius of our government. — May not every citizen ask, if there be tu covert -design against my character, my property, my civil or religious rights, why cover consultation with darkness an l secre cv ? There is no precedent for it in any free i government. The independence of this country was not declared in secret. It was proclaimed in | open day. The reasons for separating from i the crown of England were plainly, publicly and fearlessly given. The terror of the power of England was uot sufficient to in 1 tim'd ate and deter our noble fathers from ■ the open and public denunciation TheCou 1 -dilution of the United States was uot a mid ! night proluction and the Constitutions of the sevoral States wore formed upon open and ! public discusion. They all acknowledge | and proclaim the principles of human rights j and liberty, nnd are intended to se.-ure them. They are written as with n pencil of • ] light, and surely they cannot be destroyed j but by the works of darkness. Why should any portion of the people of | ! the South engage in machinations to defeit j ja single blessing secured by the Con.ia- j stion ? Why should we twt all rally and u ’ nitc together at the South to save the Con stitution ? The grave objections urged but a short , time past to a sectional party, have given i away and the public mind has now become pretty well satisfied that if a sectional | sectional party is gotten up in one part of | the Union to destroy the Cons'.ilution, an i other sectioual party may be gotten up to j uphold anl support it. But a party organ- izedon principle, not departing in any of its tenets and practices from tli* Constitution, but adhering toil in all its parts with fidel ity and truth, will not long be a sectional ‘party. Patriotic men will rally to it from atl quarters. Sound men of the North and the South, of the East and the West, will stand toge'her on the broad am! strong plat i form of the Constitution. It is the glorious platform os the Democratic party —emphat- ically the party of the Constitution- It is the glorious platform which needs no amend, m- n* to suit dainty tastes or scrupulous con sciences. Men who can relish the Constitu tion and conscientiously approve its pruvi * s]yns, can staud upon it without fear and without reproach It is not a platform con structed, of.rickety materials, to hold politi- cal meu of no particular opinions, ready to ■ . fall to pieces on the slightest shock. Why, then, cannot all meet together and j act together on this great platform ? It is , not wrong if the constitution is right. The circumstances under which I have 1 .written have prevented me from answering J ■ your enquiry and treating the subject in a 1 satisfactory manner, I trust however thnt when pubhshed what I have written will j correct the reports which have been circula- ! ted. i sincerely hope thnt the jumble into J which things have got will be but eplreuier • al. and that all heads at the South will meet J i together in open council, with hearts full | ! of patriotism, resolve on constitutional meas ures of safety, which ali sections ought to approve.
