Apologetic.
The necessary and continued absence of the
editors must account to our readers for the mea
gre appearance of our editorial columns. So
soon as the Legislature shall have adjourned
our editors will be promptly at their posts, as
ter which time the readers of the Examiner will
be presented editorially, every day, with
“a feast of reason,
and flow of soul.”
The Weather.
Last Sunday night was the coldest night
that has been felt in Georgia since the memora
ble cold spell of 1836. The theremometer in
dicated a fall of temperature several degrees
below zero; but as this fall varied according
to the several localities in which thermal test
was had, we cannot give the mean temperature
accurately.
At the moment of going to press—s o,clock
p. m.—the mercury over the fire-place stands
at 36 degrees Fahrenheit. We long for the
time when we may be allowed to exclaim with
Shakspeare:
“Now is the winter of our discontent made
glorious summer.”
Shakspeare!
Several young gentlemen of this city—
among whom there is much dramatic taste—
have lately organized themselves into a society
of Thespians. In aid of their laudab’e ambi
tion, a few of '“Heaven’s last best gift,’ have
engaged in the enterprise. Hence, every
Romeo will have his legitimate Juliet, and
every Othclo his fond i esdemona.
We are glad to see this eviden:e of dramatic
spirit manifested by the young citizens of our
growing city, and bespeak fortheir energies a
remunerating encouragement from not only
those who patronize itinerant companies, but
from our citizens generally. This young com
pany has already purchased the necessary
books for its opening exercises, and made ar
rangements for its scenery and other stage
properties.

Special Message of Gov. Johnson.
In our columns to day will be found the spe
cial message of Gov. Johnson which accom
panied the odious and insulting resolutions for
warded to him from the Legislature of Vermont,
with a request to lay them before the General
Assembly of our State. Unde ordinary cir
cumstanccs these resolutions would have received
the silent contempt they deserve, but the crit
ical situation of national affairs imperatively
demanded of our Executive, that he should lay
them before tho legislature as a part of the
history of the times with which it was necessary
that body should be acquainted, in order the
more fully to understand the relations of this
State with her sisters in the Union. The Gov
ernor has acted with a wise discretion in this
matter, and his course in the communication
of these resolutions, and his remarks upon our
federal relations, accompanying them, will
meet the unqualified approbation of every un
prejudiced mind. His clear and truthful state
ment of the issue before the country will sat.
sfy the wavering, and do much to unite our
people, and convince them of the absolute
necessity for a provision for the Convention he
proposes. As he says, the authority for its cal
ling can do no harm, even if the contingencies
upon which it is conditioned do not arise. We
earnestly hope the Legislature will delegate to
him that power.
The Responsibility.
The efforts of the Southern American Rep
resentatives in Congress, to shift the responsi
bility of the disorganized condition of the
House, from their shoulders uro becoming dai.
ly more and more desperate, and these modern
Atlases, arc growing reckless, as to the means
used to get rid of the burden they have wil
fully taken. As a sample of the expedients, to 1
. which they resort, we copy the following
from a letter to the Savannah Georgian.—
This kind of tricking is getting to be quite
popular with the Americans and Black Re
publicans in Washiugton. Giddings played a
game not more discreditable tho other day,
which Mr. Cobb promptly exposed. What
will the honest people of the country think of
a party which has fallen so low as to play such
tricks ?
“ In the National Intelligencer of Wednes
day, there appeared a three column address of
the Hon. Wm. R. Smith, Know Nothing, of
Alabama, to his constituents, endeavoring to
fix the resposibility of the disorganization of
the House upon the Democrats. As this ad
dress will very likely be published in all the
Know N othing papers of the South, I desire,
in a very few words, by a short statement of
facts, to knock his three columns of special
pleading in the head. This letter of Mr. Smith
was to carry out the purpose of a trick to
catch the Democrats in a trap concocted by
the Know Nothings and Republicans, and
which was initiated by the introduction of a
bogus resolution introduced by Mr. Carlisle,
Know Nothing, of Virginia, to make Ex-Gov.
Smith, of his State Speaker. It was known
that the Democrats would not, in an instant,
drop their caucus candidate to vote for the
nominee of the resolution, so a sufficient num
ber of Republicans were induced not to vote
at all, that it might, after the resolution was
rejected, appear that if the Democrats had
voted for it, it would have passed. This is
what Judge Smith endeavors to prove in his
address.
It is true that if all the Democrats had voted
for it, and the Republicans who did not vote
had in that event desisted from doing so it would
have pass d: but seventeen wily Abolitionists
were in their seats, who did not vote, but who
if the Democrats had voted for the resolution
would have voted, and it would have been pas
sed by a majority of nine. They appreciated
the feelings of their South American friends to
remove from the Republicans the odium of
disorganization and place it upon the Democrats
and they accordingly did not vote, so as to car-1
ry out the ticket. If the Know Nothings had
believed the resolution would pass thev would I
neither have conceived or off-red it.
hat is tae matter with the South Ameri- j
etuis, that they desire to relieve the Black |
Republicans from the responsibility of disor-1
gamzation so definitely fixed upon them, and ;
Place it upon the Democrats? Does it not veri

Transit of Slaves through Penn
sylvania.
The majority of the Judiciary Committee of
the House of Representatives of Pennsylvania
submitted a somewhat detailed report, a few
days since, with reference to the right of citizens
of slaveholding States to transit through Penn
sylvania with their slave property, and arguing
that such right is abundantly secured both by
the law of nations and the federal constitution,
and that no local legislative enactment can im
pair or disturb rights so clearly founded in jus
tice and comity. The subject is one of impor
tance, and the argument of the majority so lu
cid that we copy its material points. They
any :
“Before the adoption of the Constitution of
1787, slaves were held and recognized as prop
erty in all the States of the confederation save
one. Each state was a sovereign and indepen
dent Republic, and that comity which is rec
ognized by the law of nations, as existing be
tween friendly powers, extended to and prevail
ed among the several States, and the right of
transit with their then undisputed property was
not contravened.
“Upon the adoption ofthe Constiution, prop
erty in slaves was positively recognized and es
pecially protected by the provisions for the ren
dition of fugitives from labor. Slaves were
recognised as legitimate property at that time,
not only by the Federal Constitution, but also
by the laws of the several States of the Union,
including Pa.
“Having adopted the Constitution, and thus
plighted her honor to the faithful observance
of all r its covenants, she will not now dishonor
herself by denying her bond or violating any
of its obligations. The law of nations gives
the right of peaceful and orderly transit to both
persons and property, and that right is ratified
and confirmed by the Constitution, more espe
cially in the clause which reserves to Congress
the exclusive right to regulate commerce among
the States. This reserved power is construed
by the courts to include intercourse and the
transportation of property, and most clearly
exclude the right of individual States to pro
hibit intercourse and the transportation of prop
erty. The question of property, of course, re
ferred to the locus in quo of the alleged owner.
The Constitution declares that ‘the citizens of
each State shall be entitled to all privileges and
immunities of citizens in the several States; and
will any Pennsylvanian deny his own right to
pass with his property over and along the pub
lic highways of Virginia, and, if he will not,
why are the rights of citizens of the two States
not reciprocal?
“Your committee deny that Pa. has passed
any unconstitutional law, interdicting a pea
ceable and friendly intercourse between the
citizens of the several sister States of this Un
ion, and refusing to permit their property to
accompany their person. The act of the Penn.
Legislature of Ist March, 1780, as explained
by the act of 29th March, 1788, recognized the
prior right of persons, with their domestic
slaves, to pass and sojourn in this State for
six months ; and does not attempt to disturb
that right, but declares all slaves to be free who
are retained by inhabitants, residents, and in
tended residents. Thus we have a clear distinc
tion made and kept up between the rights, in
the respects of passers through and sojourners,
and Inhabitants, residents and intended resM
dents.
“Then comes the ‘act’ of the 3d of March,
1847, which repeals so much of the‘act’ of 1780
‘as authorizes the masters or owners of slaves
to bring and retain such slaves within this Com
monwealth for the period of six months, in
involuntary servitude, or for any period of time
whatever.’ We believe that this act hugs the
wind closely, and sails between the rock of the
constitution on the one hand, and the whirlpool
of its open repudiation on the other. It does
not purport to take away from their masters
the domestic slaves attending upon their persons,
as they pass through r this State; it does not
prohibit the bringing of them within it; it only
forbids the bringing and retaining of them here.
It may affect the slaves of sojourners, but it can
not reach persons or slaves in transit, because
they are not both brought and retained within
this Commonwealth. An ‘act of assembly’ will
not be construed to be unconstitutional by im
plication, nor when a constitutional construc
tion can be fairly given to it.
“The Commonwealth has very properly abol
ished slavery within her own bounds, but be
yond them she has no jurisdiction over it. Onr
Southern brethren are protected in their prop
erty by a stronger bulwark than any act of the
Penn. Legislature*; and your committee can
not consent to disgrace our commonwealth in
the eyes of the civilized world, by assuming to
give that which she has neither the power or
inclination to take away. The commettee,
therefore, recommend that they all be discharg
ed from the further consideration of the sub
ject.”
The minority, consisting of three members,
among whom is the Hon. E. Joy Morris, do not
yield assent to this reasoning of the majority,
but hold that slavery is exclusively a local in
stitution, not recognized by the law of nature,
the common law, or the civil law.
The Execution of Joseph T. Williams
A correspondent from Roxboro, N. C., on
Wednesday, gave a brief account of the execu
tion of Joseph T. Williams, at that place, on
Friday, for the murder of his father, a wealthy
gentleman, formerly of I’ittsylvania county, Va.
The Milton (N. C.) Chronicle hits the following
notice of the execution.
On the day of his execution, he called a friend
or two in jail, and besought them to join him
in prayer, until the last moment of his earthly
existence; he sent out a supplication for the
prayers of the vast multitude then and;there as
sembled. The hour arriving for his execution,
the sheriff, with a bleeding heart and tear-mois
tened eye, called for him.
Taking Mr. Wm. Lyou (his father’s friend
and neighbor) by the hand and begging him,
to go with him and pray for him, he proceeded
to the gallows, praying all the way until he
arrived in sight of the gallows, when he trem
bled like a leaf, lie gave vent to an expression
of feeling that no pen can describe and which
touched the most callous heart. Arriving at
the gallows he sued for the last moment, and
begged every christain on the ground to prav
for him. ” ,
It was here that the Sheriff read him a bfief
note, reminding him of future rewardsand pun
ishments—of the awfulness of dying with a lie
on his lips—and invoking him to say while he
looked at him in the face, whether he was guil
ty or innocent of the murder. He replied that
“he had said all that he ha.l to say about it—
he was not guilty!” So the prisoner pro
tested bis innocence to the last moment.—
Mounting the scaffold and “forgiving every
body.” at 15 minutes past twelve o’clock. Will
iam’s soul was launched into eternitv.
The sea serpent has decidedly shaken off his
sectional aud taken a trip down
South, to get rid of the hyperborean weather
prevalent off the eoast of Yankee land. We
learn from the Galveston Civilian that he ha;
established his winter quarters at Corpus Chris
ti, where he will no doubt be entertained with
the characteristic hospitality of the South.—
During a severe gale in the bay a short time
since a party of men in a small boat, near a shell
banke saw—so they allege— lying motionless
upon the water, something which they took to
be a log, but on approaching it they found that
it was enormous sea serpent, some tiifty or sixty
feet long. As soon as his majesty saw the boat
and felt confident that bis identity had been
made out sufficiently to be reported in the news
papers. he sunk and was seen no more. He
appears to have an eye to good hotels and fine
accommodations, for it is asserted that Corpus
Christi has a'superabuHdanee thereof, and at
this season of the year Southern resorts are apt
to be patronized by the fugitive gentry from the
North.
;Rkfartee.—ln the House of Representatives
last week. Mr. Giddings, while delivering a
speech, said that Mr. Richardson was like Baa
lam s ass— he would not speak : “It ig true."
said Mr. Richarson, in reply, -I am somewhat
like Baalam: when I am in presence ofthe gen
tleman from Ohio. I let the ass speak! ” This

Arrival of flic South Carolina—
Loss of the Union.
The steamer South Carolinia, Fry, master,
arrived at our wharf on the 2d inst.,from Apa
lachacola, loaded with groceries, iron and fur
niture for our merchants, and three bales of
Sea Island cotton.
We regret to learn that a few days since the
steamers Union, Bryan, master, and the Cusse.
ta, Hill master, came in collision on the Apa
lachicola river, during the prevalence of a heavy
fog. The Cusseta was severely damaged above
the water line, and will in consequence be laid
np for a week undergoing repairs. The Union
sunk immediately in about. 15 feet water. She
had on board a good many passengers and 200
bales of cotton. The passengers and 150 bales
of cotton were removed from the wreck by the
steamer Harriet, which takes the place of the
Union in the mail line. The remaining 50
bales belonged to Mr. J. P. Guarding and are
a total loss, being locked up in the hole of the
sunken vessel.
Death of Hon. Andrw J. Miller.
The t elegraph last night brought us the
melancholy intelligence of the death of Hon.
Andrew J. Miller, Senator from Richmond, who
died in Augusta, at half-past eight o’clock
yesterday morning, of pneumonia.
Mr. Miller was an able lawyer, an influential
and successful politician, a high toned and hon”
orable gentlemen, a generous and devoted friend.
Few men in the state were more favorably known
or exerted greater influence in her councils—

Western Game.—A great slaughter of wild
game, animal and fowl, has taken place at the
West since the cold weather set in, allowing of
its transportation to distant points.
The Milwaukie Sentinel says : “Few readers
can have any idea of the enormous quantities
of game sent East, from Wisconsin and Illi
nois, during the cold.weather. A few days ago
two hundred boxes of quail, averaging proba
bly 100 to a box, were shipped from Jones
ville direct from New York, and the Sparta
(Monroe) Watchman, of the Bth inst., states
that within a short time previous two hundred
deer, shot in that county, have been sent to N.
York. The effect of this is not only to diminish
very rapidly the quantity of game in our State,
but greatly to_enchance the price.”
The Paw Paw (Mich.) Free Press, of the
14th inst., says that it is estimated that one
thousand deer have been slain in Van Buren
county within the last three months—and
from the village of Paw Paw alone, during that
time, six hundred venison have been shipped to
market.
B@“Tbe Cork (Ireland) Examiner states
that the quantity of potatoes at present to bo
found in the possession of tho farmers through
out the country generally greatly exceeds the
estimates formed at the close of the harvest.—
It appears that in the rural districts of Cork
business among the dealers in Indian meal has
fallen off to a very remarkable extent. Large
quantities of potatoes arrive daily in the city
by the Great Southern and Western Railway
rom the midland counties, on some occasions
‘to the amounts of 80 tons.
Gov. Mcßae, of Mississippi, in his annual m es
sage, says there is a balance of $259,405 iu the
State treasury. Upon the slavery question he
takes a Southern position, and argues the mat
ter firmly but calmly. He recommends the re
turn of certain anti-slavery resolutions received
from Maine, and a reaffirmation of the deter
mination of Mississippi to maintain her rights
at all hazards, leaving the North, if it makes
tl:o issue with the South on the Constituiion, to
abide the consequences.
The Albany Standard.—Mr. E. T. Jones
has sold out his entire interest in this paper to
Messrs John T. Wimberly and Thomas Cody.
In their salutatory these gentleman after an
nonneing that there will be no change in the
political character of the Standard goes on to
say:
Being both practical printers, reared iu your
midst, and prompted by the laudable desire of
benefiting ourselves, —while at the sama time
endeavoring to be useful to the community, we
look with confidence to the generous support
of our friends.
Destructive Fire 1
We learn by the Constitutionalist that, on
Sunday night last, Augusta was visited by a
most destructive fire, which melted into ashes
much fine property on Broad and Ellis Streets,
besides ravaging abroad in other fess impor
tant localities. The report of the fire conies
at too late an hour for our present issue. To
morrow we will give full details.
Kentucky Democracy. —The Kentucky De
mocratic State Convention was held at Frank
fort, on the Bth inst. The platform adopted
was precisely that adopted by the Illinois De

Distressing.—The Richmond Dispatch says:
We yesterday mentioned the fact that the schoo
ner T. W. Levering was capsized in. Chesapeake
Bay, and fourteen persons drowned. On the
12th. the vessel wasfound off Onancock Creek;
on board were found Mrs. James B. Owens, of
James City county, and six children, all froacu
to death. Her husband and the crew had been

Another Patriot Gone.
A friend, writing us from Lexington, Ogle
thorpe county, under date January 31. furn
ishes us the following brief sketch of a patriot
who has gone to his account:
John Riekels. of this county, died yesterday,
(30th inst..)aged 104 ycares I ’ He was truly 'a
relict of a former age. He was originally’ of
Virginia, but moved to this county- many Ion"
years ago. He was the most industrious man
the writer ever knew. The writer lived within
a half mile of him for several years—when the
old man was between ,93 and 100 years old ;
during these years, he worked regularly, and
generally plowed, and was wonfto bet that
he could put up more fence than any man in
the county. Last year he cultivated a few
acres in corn, with the hoe only, and made good
corn. When he was over 100 years eld, he
would frequem ly walk to I^xington—a distance
of about 9 miles—transact his business and
walk back home the same day. He was a poor
man, and lived on the plainest diet. He took
great interest in politics, and gloried in the
name of B'Arg; and believed that al! parties
bearing a different name were no more nor less
than the Tories of the Revolution. His father, j
John Frederiek Riekels, died in this county in i
1825, at the advanced age of 100 years.
“Let tl>e Union Slide.”
Under this head the old Maryland whig or {
gan, the Baltimore Patriot has the following!
remarks upon the contest for speaker. It will!
be recollected that Banks is the candidate for i
speaker, for which the Illinois Journal has ex
pressed its preference:
This expression is attributed to the most
prominent candidate for speaker now before
the House of Representatives, and wc refer I
to it that we may mark our condemnation of I
those dangerous words so flippantly uttered.!
It matters not on what occasion they were !
elicited ; it matters not upon what contingen-!
cies they were based; they are treasonable in
their essence, and deserve to meet with the j
severest reprobation from all who desire to!
maintain the power and the glory of the no
blest and freest republic the world ever yet 1
saw.
He who first seriously contemplate.! a sever- :
ance of tho confederated states was a traitor
in bis heart, and became morally amenable to
a traitor’s doom. He who first put that thought |
into language would have been mercifully dealt
by if the penalty of ostracism had been cn-!
forced against him. Let the Union slide ?
Loosen the grand fabric built up by the sa
crifice of many a heroic heart; by the ashes of I
many a hearth made desolate; by widows'
tearsand by orphans’ cries? -kt Concord,
and Lexington, and Bunker’s Hill; in -he sad
march through the Jerseys ■ in tho winter i
camp at Valley Forge: and in the blood-stain
ed footprints of the patriots recorded on the '
winter’s snow ; in the jails and prison-ships at
New York : in the swamps of Georgia and
the Carolinas; in the wilds of Kentucky:
amid fierce savages, lory malignants, and but
too barbarous foreign foes, the foundations oi ■
the Union were laid.
That wild Christmas night upon the Dcla-,
ware, when Washington dared the opposing
ice, and hardly plucked at Trenton victorious ,
laurels from the brows of his pursuers, the j
fabric of the Union rose remotely visible to j
men’s eyes; and growing gradually more dis- i
tinct at Bennington, and Saratoga and King’s i
Mountain, and Camden and York town, pene
trated the thick haze of doubts and fear.', and I
exhibited its fair proportions, sharply denned,
upon the back-ground of the future. And yet |
there are those among us who cry out, “ let j
the Union slide,” reckless of the reverent na
ture of the inheritance won by toil axl agony, |
and bequeathed wi h prayers and solemn ad-;
monitions. There are, we say, those among us
who proclaim themselves ready to prove false
to their trust, to ignore the memory of their
fathers, to mine with an insane hand the glo
rious building they reared, and to shout ex
ultingly, “ let the Union slide ! ’ Slide where ?
Into chaos and black night ? Into that terrible
limbo of things magnificent of promise, yet un
timely shattered ? Or where ?
We say the people of the Union will never
consent, at the bidding of any man, or set of
men,upon mere sectional issues to “let the
Union slide.” Three quarters of a century
have made this Union, not a mere confedera
tion of states, but a confederation of hearts,
bound by ties stronger than the Constitution !
whose provisions they revere, and by interests j
it would be madness to dissolve.
Let the Union slide—no ! Let it last for-j
ever. Let it be handed down to succeeding i
generations, intact and impregnable. Let it
stand like the old Rhodian wonder, with a foot i
upon opposite shores, and lifting up to the op-1
pressed of all nations a beacon to guide them!
into a haven of rest, where all may enjoy free-1
dom of political action, restricted only by laws i
of their own adoption, and where liberty of;
conscience is protected beneath the JEgis ol i
the Constitution. Mr. Banks said, • Let the
Union slide!” We say, “Lot Mr. Banks
slide!”
Russia and the Eastern ’ar.
The N. Y. Heruldof last Saturday contains i
a long letter from Col. Shafforer, an American ■
who, during the last two years has spent mueh I
time in Russia. From it the following ex-i
tracts are taken.
I have travelled several thousand miles in
Russia, and have devoted much labor to the
study of government, the people and the coun
try. The government I believe to be the best
and the only one suited to the people. 1 have
never heard" any one acquainted with Russia
express a different opinion. Even Englishmen
there cone.ir in this. The English press seems o
wonder why “out and out republican 7 aukcesi
are so fond of despotic governments.” Ameri- •
cans are sensible enough to scan the relative ;
necessities of nations. A republican govern-:
ment in Russia would be a disgusting farce.— j
The masses are not prepared for it. Centuries
hence they may be better fitted for it. France
tried it, and fortunately for herself has since
drifted into the present imperial system. Even
England is not prepared for such a high state
of government as we have in Am rica. AVith
the government of Russia, us Americans, we I
have nothing to do, except to be obedient to I
the laws when we arc there.
Throughout Russia there is but one opinion,
and that is, everything for defence. There are
no internal divisions there: but on the contrary
the whole nation is united in a firm mid reso
lute determination to shed the last drop of
blood for the cause of God. Feuds among the
members of the imperial family are never heard
of. English aud French writers may indite
letters for the press in London and Paris, dating
them from St. Petersburg, and putting forth
the grossest misrepresentations as to the social
relations of the imperial family: but this tempo
rary inflation of publie confidence will avail
nothing in the end. The imperial family is the
most remarkable on earth fer devoted affection
towards each other. They meet daily, and
mingle their prayers for their country and the
triumph of the cause of God in the unholy war
waged against the church. The people as.-- m-1
ble at all hours in the open churches and nr
in solemn prayer for the same purpose. Wl n
they lie down at night, rise in morning, and ;
even in the pursuit of their daily avocati- •
they never forget to offer up their prayers f<)
their Emperor and their God.
The Russians do nit feel humbled. Their i
confidence is in God. and they believe ti nt sue- 1
I cess will be ultimately their reward.
The whole nation is beginning to '.-.rouse itself
although the Russians arc slow in action yeti
well prepared for the war. No one there re-1
gards the present state of things other than in
the light of preparation for war. livery when l
the energy of the people is put forth in the
steps necessary for defence. At remote di-'ance
in the interior the soldiers arc kept cotinually
at drill, and the instruments of war are being I
multiplied with fearful rapidity. The entire I
Baltic coasts is lined with batters s. and new
cannons are being mounted by th> r -and’, and 1
new lines of defence constatly raise I. tV!,- re-l
ever you go the cry of defence is heard, and
its appliances are seen. I have m-"er heard ofe
any resistance to his calls for nr :i. On this :

It ceaseless beats for you;
For thee I would all else resign,
And give the world were it but mine—
That radiant peace might ever shine
In lucent rays from Heaven divine.
On thee, my mother, true 1
God bless thee with a father's care,
And long extend thy years—

And no dark shade thy bosom wear.

And henceforth live in Heaven fair,
Beyond earth’s griefs or fears 1

HOUSE.
The House met pursuant to adjournment.—
It was moved to reconsider so much of the jour
nal.' of yesterday, as related to the establish
ment o a common school systum. The motion
prevailed. Tho necessity of educating the mass
es Las forced itself irresistibly upon the minds
of all reflecting men ; but the chief obstacle
which impedes the progress of this meritorious
cause, is a distrust of the efficacy of any system
yet presented, and a lively fear that such an
establishment will involve the State in heavy
expenditures, without conferring the contem
plated benefits upon her children. Experience
has taught us, that the elements of madness
are in the composition of all humanity, and if
there is a necessity it is ten fold stronger for a
common tchool system.
The report of the joint committee on the
time of adjournment »iue die, was read, naming
the 20th proximo as proper for such adjourn
ment. It appeared that in the Senate, two
hundred and eighty bills yet remained to be
acted upon; in the House one hundred.
The special order of the day, the Brunswick
bill, was taken up—an animating discussion
ensued thereon. Several amendments were
offered and met their several fates. Pending
the discussion a motion for adjournment, until
to-morrow ten o’clock, prevailed.
Aurora has kindled a larger fire than usual
in the chambers of the East, and already this
Nora Zambia winter begins to wane under her
benign influence, rising in logs and sailing away
to cluster around the little State of Vermont.
Last evening was the occasion of a brilliant
bridal party at the Executive mansion. The
youth and blooming beauty, which floated like
light clouds through the harmonious mazes of
the dance, seemed like a vision from fairy land,
so the astonished gaze of the spectator. The
hospitality was worthy of the Executive man
tion, and the festival a happy auspice to canopy
the morri of married life. Many kind wishes
for the uninterrupted happiness of Mr. Emmet
and his beautiful bride.
SENATE
Upon the reading of the Journal, an unsuc
cessful motion was made to reconsider the ac
tion of the Senate upon the Vermont resolu
tions.
The bill for the appropriation of money to
complete the Lunatic Asylum, which passed
yesterday, was reconsidred this morning and re
i furred to a special committeeei
The report of the joint Committee upon
adjournment was then taken up and agreed
i to.
Omitting the fierce war of words over the
Vermont resolutions, and the dull, vapid, and
pointless debate upon the motion to reconsider
. the Lunatic Asylum Dill, the above comprise
all the labor performed by the Senate on the
. 29th Jan.
Neither branch of the Legislature was in
session this afternoon, having adjourned over
to attend a musical exhibition to be given in
. the Senate chamber by several pupils from
the State Academy for the Blind.

! Special Message of Gov. Joint son.
Executive Department, )
Milledgeville, Ga., Jan. 28,1856. i
i To the Senate and
House of Representatives:
I received, a few days ago, a series of resolu
tions adopted by the Legislature of Vermont,
in relation to Kansas, transmitted by the Gov
ernor of that State, to be submitted to the
General Assembly of Georgia. I have hesita
j ted to comply with the request of the la-t reso
lution, for two reasons—first, because I depre
cated the humiliation of being made the medi
um to communicate an insult to the State of
Georgia; and secondly, because I equally de
precate a renewal of the agitation of the ques
tion of slavery so adverse to the repose of the
popular mind, so destructive of the feelings of
amity, which should characterize the relations
between the States of this Republic, and so
hostile to the stability and integrity of the
Union. But after calm deliberation I have
deemed it my duty to transmit to you these res
olutions, content that the consequences shall be
I upon the heads of their authors.
| The preamble and resolutions profess to as
; serf facts and principles, but. their allegations
jof facts were false and their principles totally
' unsound and at variance with the correct theo
ry of our government. As a fact, they assert,
that the power and influence of the slavehold
ing States have been exerted iu extending and
strengthening the institution of human slavery ;
! that for this purpose the laws for the recovery
of fugitive slaves, and the organization of ter
ritorial governments for Kansas and Nebraska,
were passed, and that the present administration
of the General Government has lent itself to
these illegal and unjust schemes. If the occa
sion required, it woul 1 be an easy task to con
front these declarations with the teachings of
all our past history. Not a solitary instance
can lie adduced in which the slaveholding States
ever asked Congress even to take jurisdiction of
the question of slavery, much less to exercise
the power of promoting its establishment or
extension. Non-intervention is now, and al
ways has been, their motto. They have depre
cited the agitation of the subject in every form.
They have remonstrated against its introduc
tion into the halls of Congress. They have ap
pealed to the fanatics of the non-slaveholding
State, by every argument by which they could
hope to reach their patriotism, or their reason,
to desist from their assaults upon the constitu
tional rights of the South. The passage of the
law for the re-capture of fugitive slaves, so far
from being ‘'contrary to the clear intent es the
founders of the government, and in violation of
the spirit of the Constitution,” was in perfect
accordance with both. The Kansas-Nebras
act, so far from being a measure inviting the
establishment of slavery in those territories,
simply opens them to the free ingress of all the
citizens of the several States, and invests them
with the right of making their own laws, sub
ject to no restriction but that of conformity to
the Constitution of the United States. The
present Administration of the General Govern
ment has, therefore, “lent itself,” to no “illegal
and unjust schemas” by seeing to the faithful
execution of these laws. But to have been de
relict the President would have incurred a guilt
next in turpitude to treason against the Consti
tution which he has sworn to support. The
assertion of the preamble and resolutions of
Vermont, in reference to the proceedings of the
Kansas Legislature, are equally unfortunate. —
It is a fact of general notoriety that under the
proclamation of Governor Reeder, prescribing
the time, place and manner of holding elections
for members of the Territorial Legislature of
Kansas, the people thereof, selected their repre
sentatives, that they convened at the place des
ignated in his proclamation, receiveed rom the
Governor certificates of their election, organ
iz'd as a legislative body, and the Governor
communicated to them his inaugural message.
Thus regularly clothed with legislative functions,
they proceeded orderly to the enactment of laws
for the government of Kansas. Now it is as
serted that armed citizens from Missouri, un
lawfully invaded the Territory, took possession
of the ballot box, prevented a certain class of
citizens from exercising the elective franchise,
and thus vitiated the elections held in pursuance
oft eGovernor’s proclamation. Thisisnottrue;
and looking to the circumstances of the case it is
impossible to have been true. In this procla
mation, Gov. Reeder was careful to specify and
define the mode of contesting the legality of the
election of members to the Territorial Legisla
ture. He prescribed “that iu cose any persons
shall desire to contest the election of any dis
trict of the Territory, they shall make a writ
ten statement; directed to the Governor, set
ting forth the particular precinct or district
they intend to contest, the candidate whose
election they dispute, and the specific causes of
complaint, in the conduct or return of sa ; d elec
tion. which complaint shall be signed by not
less than ten qualified voters of tho Territory,
and with the affidavit of one or more of such
voters, as to the truth of the facts set forth
therein ; such written statement must be pre
sented to the Governor at his office, on or be
fore the 4th day of April, 1855, and if it shall
appear that the result of the election in any
council district might be changed by said con
test, a day will be fixed for hearing the cause.”
The seats of several members were contested,
and though the mode prescribed was not pur
sued, yet the Governor entertained the cases,
declared the seats vacant, ordered new elections,
and issued certificates of election to the per
sons so elected. Now Governor Reeder’s sym
i pathies are well known. It is notorious that
he belongs to that party whose sentiments are
I reflected by these Vermont resolutions. Is it
then to be credited for one moment that if the
alleged violence and fraud upon the ballot box,
had been actually perpetrated, protests against
the election would not have been forwarded in
every instance; and if entered is it not quite
certain that the Governor would have vacated
the elections? But instead of this, there,were
but few protests preferred, not enough to
change the political complexion of the Legisla
tive Assembly; and after the purgation of
that body under the operation of these protests,
every member was furnished with certificates of
the Governor as the evidence of his right to a
seat therein. Why then this clamor on the
part of Vermont and the fanatics of the non
slaveholding States against these proceedings
of the Territory of Kansas? It is because
the elections alluded to under the non-interven
tion principle of the Kansas-Nebraska Act,
resulted in the return of a large majority of
the legislative Assembly in favor of the insti
tution of slavery? For the purpose of justi
fying their clamor, they drew upon their imag
ination for facts, and proceeding entirely upon
false premises, they are seconding the factious
and mutinous spirit of the abolition party in
Kansas, who, repudiating the elections and ac
tion of the Territorial Legislature, are seeking
to erect Kansas into a nou-slaveholding State,
and to secure her admission into the Union as
such.
It is not necessary for me to vindicate the
State of Missouri from the grossly insulting and
false imputations made aginst u respectable
portion of her citizens. That is triumphantly
proclaimed by the history of the events to
which I have alluded. But in a more impor
tant respect —the atitude of the Missourians,
who are thus brauded, challenges the support
and sympathy of Georgia, and the slaveholding
States, as well as of the friends of the Constitu
tion, in every quarter of the Union. It is na
tural that she should be peculiarly sensativc as
to the character of the domestic institutions of
Kansas. Though she ought not (as she has
not) illegally to interfere with the affairs of
Kansas, yet she cannot be expected to stand as
a tame spectator of the extraordinary efforts
from the East to Abolitionize that territory.
Why are Vermont and her eo-laborers in the
non-slaveholding States, silent in reference to
such movements as that of the Massachusetts
Aid Society; Though many hundred miles dis
tant from Kansas, they seek to control her des
tiny by pouring into her borders their hordes
of hired emigrants, and it is all considered legit
imate and right, but when the people of Mis
souri, just on the border of the scene of action,
Laving the most vital interest in the subject,
indicate solicitude to protect the b<mo fide set
tlers of Kansas against these Eastern intruders,
and to indicate, as a matter of self preserva
tion, the principle of the Kaum Nebras.
ka Act, they are gravely charged, by solemn
legislative resolves, with “unlawful invasion,
and illegal and forcible violation of tho rights
of the elective franchise,” I will not trust my
self to use the language which would appropri
ately characterize such unjusi and officious in
termedding.
If wc look at. the geographical position of
Missouri, wc not only find a justification of the
solicitude of her citizens, relative to this vital
controversy, but that its final settlement must
affect all the slaveholding States. The institu
tion of slavery exists in Missouri; but she is
now flanked on two sides by non-slaveholding
States— lowa on the north, and Illinois on the
cast. What will be her condition, if Kansas
which lies on her west, shall also become a non
slaveholding State? Warred upon by aboli
tionists, on the one hand, and pratically denied
the provisions of the fugitive slave law on the
other, her slaves will be valueless and the institu
tion crushed out within her borders, It will
require but a few years for this consumation
by which the disparity between the relative
strength of the two great sections in the Fed
eral Government will be permanently increased
the youth made weaker and the North strong
er. 1 Icnce the importance not only to the
South but to the entire Union, that the legitij
mate operation of the Kansas Act, should not
be thwarted by external influences from any
quarter. It opens the territory to all the citi
zens of the United States, secures to them
therein the right of self government, and to
adopt or reject slavery in the formation of
their State Constitution- While, therefore,
the South will not interfere improperly, anil is
prepared to acquiesce in the final decision of
the bona fide settlers of Kansas on the subject
of slavery, they will not tolerate fanatical
efforts to mould its institutions, and will and
ought to rally to the support of the people of
Missouri in protecting them in the free and
unrestrained exercise of their rights under the
law of their territorial organization. If you
think proper to make any response 'o the reso
lutions of Vermont, this should be distinctly an
nounced without the fervor of passion, but with
the firmness and dignity of unalterable pur
pose.
The doctrines of political principle involved
in the preamble and resolutions under consider
ation, are as erroneous as their allegations of
fact are untrue. They take it for granted that
Congress may rightfully take jurisdiction ofthe
question of slavery in the Territories of the
United States, and is bound so to exercise it
as to exclude therefrom citizens of the slave
holding States with their property. No such
authority if found in the Constitution; it is
totally at. war with the theory of our system of
government; it ignores the sovereignty and
equality of the States. To these doctrines
Georgia can never subscribe. Their practical
enforcement will lead to dissolution if resisted,
and if submitted to, to the degradation of one
half of the members of the Federal Union. It
were easy if necessary, to demonstrate the fal
lacy of these doctrines, but it is idle to reason
with fanaticism, and sound constitutional men
everywhere arc already convinced. Let us
await the future in dignified patience, but re
solved to meet aggression as becomes freemen.
I should not have indulged in such elaborate
comment upon the preamble and resolutions
of Vermont, but for the fact that existing cir
cumstances give them a point and significance
which it is impossible to disregard. It is ob
vious that the fate of Kansas is the paramount
question of the day, and that upon its satisfac
tory adjustment is probably suspended the safe
ty of the slaveholding States, and the contin
uance of the Federal Union.
Whether we look at th? actual condition of
affairs in that Territory or in the Congress of
United States now in session, we find much to
awaken the apprehensions of patriots in every
portion of our country. In Washington a spec
tacle is presented which is disreputable to the
character of our Government as it is evincive
of deep seated and organized hostality to the
constitutional rights of the South. During
several weeks the House of Representatives has
been engaged in a fruitless effort to organize
itself for the transaction of its appropriate
business. The minority, with a firmness and
unanimity honorable to patriots, are seeking to
effect an organization upon the principles ofthe
Kansas Nebraska Act ; whilst the majority,
with a pertinacity worthy of a better cause,
seem to be resolved upon no organization rath
er than the recognition of those principles.—
The triumph of the latter is prevented by the
want of harmony among themselves, they" (ex
cepting a few Southern men) differing only ai
to the extent to which they are willing to go,
in assailing the rights of the South, as involved
in the Kansas Nebraska Act.
For all practical purposes, the Government
is at an end, and must continue, during the ex
istence of this sectional strife, in the Rcprescn
iatives Hall of Congress. 'What will be the
tesult ?no prescience can predict; but that it
rs disastrous to the brother-hood between the
States, that it weakens the Constitutional bonds
of our Union and augments the tendency to
iarray section aginst section, cannot be denied
In this state of things, it behooves the State of
Georgia, as in integral portion of tho South,
to do whatever she can, to arrest the tide of
aggression; or failing to do that, to place her
self in the safest lattitude of self-preservation.
It may be, and I trust that such will be the
result, that the Union of the sound constitution
al men of all sections, of which there are grati
fying indications, may prove strong enough,
ultimately, to arrest the machinations of fanat
icism, and save the Union from the storm which
now darkens our political horizon.
But it is vain to expect that our assilants
will voluntarily their purpose or relax their
efforts for our destruction. They will cither
conquer the friends of the Constitution and the
Union, or they must be conquered. In the
latter result, the rights of the South will be
maintained ; but in the event of the former,
the South must take care of herself. Such
is the awful issue which is now distinctly pre
sented to the country. 'Whilst you should
studiously avoid all rashness, either in expres
sion or action, you will be disloyal to the great
first law of self-protection if you should fail to
adopt such measures of legislation as muy be
best calculated to averl impending calamities,
if they may be, and if not, to protect the
State against their ruinous consequences.
Georgia took her position upon this mo
mention issue, in her convention of 1850.
Iu the 4th resolution adopted by that body,
she solemnly announced that she would” resist,
even, (as a last resort) to the disruption of ev
ery tie that binds her to the Union,’ the act of
aggression therein enumerated. But the con
vention did not designate the time and mode of
resistance, but left it for a future convention to
determine. But such a convention cannot be
assembled without legislative authority.
I therefore respectfully renew the recom
mendation contained iu my message to tho gen
eral Assembly at the commencement of your
session, that you pass an act authorizing the
Governor, upon the happening of any of the con
tingencies specified in the 4th resolution of the
Convention of 1850, to call a convention to con
sider and determine the time and mode of resis
tance thereby comtemplatcd. Should such con
tingency never arise, the legislature can <lo no
harm; if it should, it will be notice, in advance,
to our assailants ; will throw upon them the
responsibility of consequences, and justify the
the State in the estmation of mankind. The
signs of the times are portentious; it rests with
you calmly and firmly to place the State in
the best attitude to breast the swelling storm.
