cure his election.
Qnd. Resolved, That in the opinion of this meet
ing the false cry of Union raised by the Constitu
tional Union Party', is the “ masked battery from
behind which the sovereignty and rights of the
States are to be assailed, and finally destroyed.
" 3rd. Resolved, That each State is a sovereign,
and that by virtue of their sovereignty, any State
has the right peaceably to secede from the Union
whenever the Constitution of the United States
may be violated, and that each State has the sole
right of judging for itself of the fact of such vio
lation. l
4th. Resolved, That the doctrine now held by
, the Constitutional Union Party of Georgia, that
a State has the right to judge, but that the
I other States have the right to judge and decide
[ upon the cause, and to coerce the seceding State
' back into the Union if their decision be against
her, is, in our opinion, equivalent to a total sur
render and denial of the right; leaving a clear
sovereign right, to be “ decided, only by the ar
bitrament of the sword," which we consider an
ti-Republican. and inconsistent with State rights.
sth. Resolved, That the continuance of the
Union essentially depends upon the preservation
of the soveignty and rights of the States, (these
being paramount) that we prefer the sovereignty
of the States as reserved by them, at the forma
tion of the Constitution, to any other system of
government that could be devised: and condemn,
most bitterly, the doctrine of coercion, for it will
destroy- State sovereignty, and must end in con
solidation.
6th. Resolved, That we adopt the Virginia and
Kentucky resolutions of 1798 and ’99, as under
stood and explained by the report of Mr. Madi
son, made to the Virginia Legislature, as con
taining the true tenets of the political faith of
the State Rights Party.
On motion of William Ellett, the above Reso
lutions were unanimously adopted.
On motion, the delegates were authorized to
fill any vacancy which might occur.
On motion, the Constitutionalist & Republic
of Augusta, and the Federal Union, were re
quested to publish the proceedings of the meet

On motion of William Ellett, the meeting ad

The steamship Canada has arrived from Liver

telligence.
The Franklin arrived at Cowes on the 7th.
England.—Parliament was prorogued on the
f Bth.
Excepting the prorogation of Parliament and
the Queen’s speech, there is noting of interest.
Her Majesty, having thanked the Lords and
gentlemen of the Commons for their diligence,
said : “ I continue to maintain friendly relations
with foreign powers. lam happy to’be able to
congratulate you iqton the very considerable di
niinunition that has taken place in the African
and Brazilian slave trade. The exertions of my
squadrons on the coast of Africa and Brazil, as
sisted by the vigilance of the cruisers of France
and the United States, and aided by the co-ope
ration of the Brazilian Government, have main
ly contributed to this result.
“1 thank you for the assiduity with which you
have applied yourselves to the consideration of
the measures framed for the purpose of checking
the undue assumption of ecclessiastical titles con
ferred by foreign powers.
‘lt gives me the highest satisfaction that, while
repelling unfounded claims, you retain inviolate
that religious liberty so happily established
among us.”
The prorogation of Parliament is until Septem

lost in the House of Lords through the refusal to
concur in amendments made by the Commons
The surplus revenue last year amounted to

The Continental news is unimportant.
France.—The only news is of continued fes
tivals with which the Parisians have welcomed
their English visiters. The only fact of impor

ofthe arondissements through the country have

three-fourths of these bodies will pass similar
votes.

Office of the Board of Health. I
Augusta. Aug. 21st 1851. )
Health of Augusta.—The Small Pox has
again made its appearance in our city.
Fearing that many false reports may reach the
country, this Board deem it necessary in justice
to the city to give to the public a true statement
of facts as regards the extent of the disease in
this city. There are but five cases of varioloid
and three of Small pox in Augusta at this time.
Os these three are convalescent. The disease is
confined to the lower part of the city, and we
think strangers will rim no risk of contracting
the disease by visiting our place.
It will be seen by the Ordinance published in
your paper of the 20th inst, and the accompany
ing resolution passed at a meeting of Council on
yesterday, that our authorities are taking the
proper precaution to prevent the further exten
sion of the desease.
By order of the Board,
W. E. DEARING.
