PAILY TRUE DKIHIHU'I. PUBLISHED BY Keunickeil, Taylor, Divine & Cos. JAMES M. SMYTIiE, Editor. AUGUSTA, GA. SUNDAY MORNING, NOV. 25, 1860. Mr. James V Mils. Yesterday's issue of the Southern Field and Fireside was the first number of that excel lent family paper under the direction of Mr. Ells as its Literary Editor. It contained a modest and graceful “Introductory,” from tho new Editor, and “A Word to the Public,” from his pen, which, with its general con tents, justifies our commendation a lew days •incc of his taste, ability and skill, in the management of so important a department of the paper as that over which he presides. Wo doubt not its readers will be pleased with its visits, and that Mr. Ells will succeed in retaining not only their patronage, but in ■ecuring that of thousands who have hereto fore overlooked its substantial claims to pop ular favor. No man in the country. North or South, has a higher reputation than Dr. Lee us an agricultural writer. Ilis department of the paper is always interesting and useful to t o cultivators of the soil. To speak of his abil ity nnd tlio value of his labors is to utter what is already Known to every reading and intelligent man. Now, when the South has to look to herself for the protection of her endangered rights and the very safety of her people, we hope the Field and Fireside will be remembered and substantially cherished. Meeting; at Louisville. The proceedings of the meeting held at Louisville, Georgia, on the lfth instant, did not roach us until the 21st. That will ac count. tor their insertion at so late a period. Yesterday, and the day before, our columns were occupied with matter already on hand. Wo ins it them with much pleasure, especial ly as they take the true Southern position. IvTTat Should Satisfy the South t ‘N r Some of our writers and speakers semi to tb ink that the South ought to he satisfied, if Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Con necticut, Pennsylvania, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Vermont, Khoile Island, and Wisconsin, will repeal I lie Personal Liberty Bills which prohibit their citizens, under heavy and degrading penalties, from execu ting the Fugitive Slave Law. Does any man of sense believe that they will repeal those laws? Has any step been taken to that end? Has any Black Republican in public or pri vate life, has a single Black Republican news paper intimated, in the remotest degree, that it will be done? He who expects it is delu ded by the shadow of hope; is blind to the teachings of the past, and is not a fit leader fora crisis like the present. Leaders, now, Should be meti of practical sense and not of fantastical theory. The people who were so lost to all constitu tional obligations, so phrenzied with fanati cism, so bitter in their hate of our peculiar institutions, so regardless of Southern rights and feelings, so destitute of fraternal regard for their equals, in the Confederacy, as to cti aot laws imposing fines from 1,000 to 5,000 dollars am imprisonment from two to fifteen years upon those who should aid in the exe cution of one of the plainest and most palpa ble provisions of the constitution, will not repeal those laws and would be unworthy of confidence if they did. They have sunk themselves to the depths of infamy by the most wilful perjury. They could be convict ed of that crime in any court of justice. With all the civil disabilities to which the perjurer is subjected by our laws, we are called upon by some in ottr midst, to trust Northern j. -r'ur- is and live with them ns ottr equals and brothers- The people of the South will not and ought not to trust them. They wilfully violated their oaths to support the constitution, and they would not hesitate to do it, again, in the future, even if they oould now cringe low enough, for lucre, to repeal their infamous laws, and, in doing so, admit their perjury before the civilised world. Why do these Northern fanatics wish to keep the Southern States in t lie Union? the reason is patent and obvious to every man whose mental faculties arc not becloud 1 with stolid stupidity. Could anything 1 more I remarkable than that a Southern sound-mind- j cd man should desire to fraternize with per- j jurors nnd deadly enemies ? It. is not unrea- | •onalde that our people should wish to bene- | fit friends, but it is degradingly irrational j that they should desire to bestow, annually upon their deadliest, foes, from one hundred and fifiy to two hundred millions of dollars; monstrously and criminally so when the fa vors conferred give sinews and means and power to those foes to overwhelm and destroy them. /’or thr True Democrat. T.incoli: Derives Comtcrt and Ibicouragc uicnt from CJeorgia. [CONOUTOKII.] The sixth reason assigned by this meeting is closely akin to that immediately proceed ing it in puerility of sentiment. A humane solicitude for the cit zens of Greene county is promptly rrigendcied in our boßotns upon noting their exhibitions of fear and constcr nation. Fully appreciating tlieir perilous condition, they turn tlieir eyes to the North, and calmly, kindly and earnestly admonish i them that they ought, as far as possible, to redr. . their grievances; failing ill this, they seek the sympathy and condolence of a pow eric s minority; and then, happily, they be think themselves to appeal to Foreign Pow ers, first proving to them that no blame rests upon them in the matter. Verily this would boa wise course for a free and independent people to pursue—first appeal to your op pressors for aid, and then to your disinter ested neighbors, Arc wo children, that wo can only pluck up courage in view of reserved assistance from a big brother or a father ? Or have the citizens of Greene county lost tlie spirit of independence ? Arc they seeking a stale of vassalage ? We would remind them that the elements of strength and of heroic defense are indigenous to the Sunny South— that we are amply provided for in the strength of our wills and of our own right arms. We want no foreign help, particularly if it can not be obtained without whining appeals for it. lftiie justice of ourcause and the truth of our position are not sufficient to command the sympathies of nations, then let us struggle and die without them. We pass over the seventh reason with the remark that “unnecessary and indecent haste” is not commendable in tlie most trifling acts of life, much less “in so scrii us a thing as the overthrow of this government.” Our friends in Greene need not be alarmed: we don’t mean to be indecent—we mean to secede in good time to keep Old Abe from exercising any power to prejudioe Southern interests or impair our rights. If we can get out before lie gets in, it is pin in that be can't hurt us. On the other band, if be gits in before we get out, lie may damage us considerably, and then our friends ill Greene county would cry out for succor to anybody and everybody. In regard to the eighth reason given, we would remark that the popularity of tlie dis union cause at the South, heretofore, has nothing to do with the question of submission to Lincoln’s administration. However un popular it may have been heretofore—no matter how many thousands have regarded it as a “watchcry of politicians,” it is certain now that Lincoln's election has given a con vincing popularity to it recently. And at ’ this very moment the ranks are filling up, and, undoubtedly, will continue to swell un til sufficiently full to set at complete defiance the rule of a Black Republican. The power of Mr. Lincoln to affect us even diminished by majorities against him in both branches of Congress, should not be considered in the question of resistance to oppression. Our State governments are now preparing for | tlieir defense—they are enacting wise laws for the alleviation of commercial distress, nnd when they become components of a Southern Confederacy will be as efficient for national | purposes as they arc in the present Union, i Yen, they will lie a little more so—the same j amount of revenue that they now contribute | will be continued,and in its distribution they I will receive a lion's share instead of tv mere | pittance. All bounties that are to be paid will he for their special benefit, and not for j those who are always injuring them by every possible means. And in a thousand different • I ways—in all the various operations which are i carried out in the governmental administra- I tion they will he abundantly blessed. ; We shall not stop to individualize the three i succeeding reasons, carrying out as they do i the same loose generalizations that character | ize the antecedent ones, hut proceed to notice a single paragraph forming the conclu sion of the twelfth reason. In this reason entire, is an enumeration of evils likely to bc | fall us in the event of a dissolution, highly | magnified by its author. After a long recital of them, it concluded as follows: “The most ! careless thinker must perceive that the pc ! euninry embarrassment and domestic distress which must result from a sudden and unex pected upheaval of the whole social fabric, would be such as is seldom paralleled in the history of man. With this appalling pros pect, immediate and unpremeditated destruc tion of this government on the mere ground of Mr. Lincoln's election, or, indeed, on any ground, would argue a puerile indiscretion an I headlong rashness on the part of the actors, which would indicate anything but their fitness for their position, and prognosti cate anything but the success of their opera tions.” How many of the readers of this article will now object to its heading? Is it unjust ? Is it untrue? This distinguished meeting of our loyal fellow-citizens, after declaring our grievances in a most positive manner—the ruinous and degrading tendency of anticipa ted power if unchecked—after giving nearly a column of flimsey and foolish reasons why we should not resist the most burdensome of our grievances, finally, in a secluded portion of a paragraph, gives utterance to the senti ment that an “immediate and unpremeditated | destruction” of the government on account of j I Mr. Lincoln's election, “or indeed on any I //round would be unpardonable rashness. | I .Southern men—citizens of Georgia—where | arc we drilling? Have the surgings of the j abolition waves reached to our midst ? Are | these not the wlii-peringli of the co-workers jof frecsoilism ? Union men of Georgia, shall I iwe arraign you upon this sentiment? If so, we tell you that we will dare to meet the foe in our midst. Will you murmur if we call your organization a “Lincoln Aid Associa leiation?” This is the very doctrine that vpnr ally would have you promulgate at ‘present, that immediate disunion ought not. to occur on any ground.” Turn your cars to ward the North, and catch the echo ns it re peats your declaration. Every Biack Repub lican will nurse your patriotism, and Long I John Wentworth—Mr. Lincoln’s right hand man—will declare that there is no longer need ot the terrific suit of John Brown in Georgia, but tender I heir condolence for the” very existence of a few dern. In conclusion this meeting says: “Having given these reasons why wo think the Union ought not to he hastily dissolved tor any cause, and especially on account of the elec, tion ot Mr. Lincoln to the Presidency, and yet, feeling that our grievances demand re dress, we proceed now to slate what we think is the proper course to he pursued.” We shall not comment upon Iho wisdom of their suggestions ns to a proper course to ho pur- j sued, but would simply state, that as that 1 course is founded upon the louse, ludicrous i and foolish reasons which wo have examined, | that it, too, must he erroneous and of wrong | policy. The premise is erroneous therefore 1 the conclusion is also false. As tor ourselves. i 1 we think that the quickest cure for our pres • ent evils, and the most summary redress for i our grievances, are alone to be had in ihe i shortest road to separate independence, i We have felt constrained thus to pass un der review the work of this meeting, he . cause of the tendency which it might exert i in some quarters, in misleading other coun s ties. There are perhaps a number of our fellow citizens who are not decided as to the ■ best course to be pursued in the present ’ question, and it is under the npprehensioti > that these might be deceived, by the apparent multitude of reasons why Lincoln's inaugu ration should not be resisted by secession, that we have attempted to expose their flim ziness. Let this class beware how the}’ con sult too freely the Union men, for there are members of them who, entertaining a servile admit alion for tlie Union, would sacrifice every other inter st to it. And yet these men, in some c.ises are upholders of the in stitution of slavcty, hut rather than dissolve this glorious, harmonious Un.on, they would willingly give up this necessary element of Southern existence. We would not be understood as charging this upon our friends of Greene county, nor indeed of questioning tlieir loyally to thS’ South. We make no charge against them; we believe that many of them, when they see the indirect eneouiagement which their po sition ; i sto the enemies of their I.tsti uiion will, iriiui mutters of policy, if for no other reason, alter it. We have only endeav ored to .sh w the Southci n people where such positions would place them. Wo accord to the citizens of Greene tlie same magnanimous exoneration from a want of fealty to the South, that they accord to our Northern brethren in the election of Lincoln. This meeting declared ill it if they (the Northern people) had known that disunion would have followed Itis ei otion, they never would have elected him. Rowe declare that if they (the people of Greene) had known that they were giving encouragement to the enemies of the South, and were leading Southern men ar ound them astray, they would never have done so. Since writing the above, the issue of tbe New York Sun of the 31st, a Black Republican sheet, lias been placed in our hands, which contains a telegraphic dispatch from Augus ta, Ga., heralding this meeting, us one of tho largest “ever held in Greene county, and ap plauding the conservative spirit evinced in tlieir resolutions. A similar notice of a meeting in Hancock county is also given. And as its legitimate effect, thee ditorial of that issue is published under tlie flaming word Reaction, and reads thus: “The telegraph informs us Hint the people in Greene and Hancock counties, Ga., have risen against the politicians, and in convention denounced secession agitation. It is proable that these mectihgs arc bnt the be gintiing of a conservative reaction through out the Cotton .States. Wo are confident that if the people in that quarter will really speak, the politicians will he compelled to hold their tongues or follow suit.” Above, Georgian o wo anticipated an echo, and to our chagrin and mortification, we are greeted with its baneful sound before tlie ink is scarcely dry. Like vultures, in search for prey, these hell hounds of abolitionism arc eagerly grasping every straw of anti Southcrnism that may be found upon our stirring waters, and are dil ligently appropriating them to tlieir nefari ous purpose. The work of secession is no longer confined to the politicians, we, the people, have it in hand, and it will surely succeed. “Its blood be upon us and our children” Rouse! Georgians; shake off your lethargy ; the enemy of your firesides is wooing for traitors in jour midst. Let us face them in their open declarations, nnd let us baffle them in their attempt at wiley seductions. “Shall we lie supinely upon our backs until our enemies have bound us band and foot ?” [For the True Democrat .] Meeting at I.ouisvitlc, <;a. In answer to a call made by a respectable number of the citizens of this county, a large number of its voters, irrespective of party tics, assembled at. the Court House, to deliberate upon our federal relations. Cap tain J. W. Bothwell was called to the Chair, J. 11. Wilkins, Esq,, acting as Secretary. In order that business might bo expedited, it was moved and carried that .Mr. Beniah | Cars wo 1 should act as a Vice President. Up n the motion of W. A. Stokes, tlieChair- I man appointed a committee of nine to pre pare business for the meeting, which commit tee were as follows: IV. A. Stokes, Jas. G. Cain, W. P. Johnson, U. P. Little, John Al exander, Henry G. Wright, R. W. Cat-swell, W. 11. Bailej-, and Owen P Fitzsimmons. The committee reported, for the constdera t.on of the meeting, two sets of resolutions— a majority report advocating a withdrawal of the Southern States from the Union; and a minority report fnv ring submission to the election of Lincoln to the Presidency. There being much speaking, nn-i conse j qucntly g a at coninsion and excitement, the ('hairtn:in (’apt. But’ well, re-igned his seat. . The t ic • Pres.dent, Mr. Carswell, thru took I the Chair—ihe noise and excitement still continuing ill the in d-l of wh'ch those in k v r of submission wi.hdrew from the meet ing. Order was again restored. Major W. ‘II- Batty presid.ng, (the lornu r Chairman, Mr. Carswell, having left the house with those in favor of stthmiss.on ) J. 11.

I Reso.’red, That as good and lojal citizens, ’ we will await to hear the judgment of our ! State, and when given will use our best en deavors to fully and perfectly obey and car ry out Ihe same. Reeolveti. That while we will submit to the judgment of our Stale, as anticipated in the previous resolutions, still we are decidedly of the opinion that there should he at this time, or at least hy the 4th of March next, a per fect and unanimous withdrawal on the part of all tiic Southern Slates from this Union. Resolved, That previous to the day of elec tion of delegates to a State Convention, a day be set apart for fasting and prayer to Almighty God that, asa people, we may hum ble ourselves before him nnd implore His guidance and protection in this fearful emer gency. Upon motion, it was ordered that these proceedings be sent to the True Democrat, published at Augusta, and the Louisville Ga zette, with the request that they bj published.

By reference to our columns will be seen the proceedings of one of the largest, most influential, and enthusiastic? meetings ever held in Athens, held at the Town Hull, on Saturday the 17th lost., to consider nnd ex press what is our solemn duty in the pres ent condit ion of the country, consequent on the elect ion of Lincoln. Many hundreds of the wisest, most reliable and influential, the oldest as well as the young men were present from the counties of Clarke, Banks, Madison, and Jackson. All the stores in town were closed during this council of the people. With wise counsel, with a culm trust in God, and with firm determination, they marked out their course, that the secession of Geor gia from the present Union, (onorby the 4th of March next,) is demanded botli l>y our honou and tlie absolute safety of our people. We rejoice that tbe blood of the revolution and the spirit of independance is not yet ex tinct. When the venerable President of the meeting. Gov. Wilson Lumpkin, and the hon ored Chairman, of the committee of fifteen on resolutions, ihe Hon. Asbury Hull spoke, who did not feel the solemnity of the occas ion, and with his heart pulsating with pride for Georgia. On being called upon, the Rev. Dr. Hoyt gave us his counsel, and pointed us to God always, for our guidance. The Rev. Mr. Hinton gave us truly a great address; profoundly augumentative, eloquent, convin cing, boldly spoken, for the immediate inde pendence of Georgia—it was worthy the no blest, patriotic (lays of the Republic. The resolutions were seconded by T. R. R. Cobb, Esq., nnd at the conclusion of his speech, were passed unanimously, amid pro longed cheers and the greatest enthusiasm. The address of Mr. Cobb was one of the ablest ever delivered in the Slate. While he touched the heart with the living fires of pa triotism. he convinced the mind—the reason, hy facts and arguments that arc unanswera ble. Would that every man in the South could hear them from him.
