VVV find the following able letter
from our immediate Representative,
in the Southern Press, written in uii^
wer to an invitation to be present at
the great Mass Meeting at Macon,
Ga. it is a good sign to sec the people
of Georgia anxious to hear from
South Carolina politicians. The time
has now come for Georgia to lake the

Gentlemen : I regret very much
1 hat mv public duties here, forhid my
accepting your polite invitation, to
attend a Mass meeting of the citizens
of Macon, on the 2?nd inst.
The alacrity and '/cal of the. people
of Georgia in rallying upon the
Nashville platform, oxcitcs the liveliest
satisfaction in the hearts of all
southern men, who believe a decided
stand must he taken by our section,
if we intend to arrest northern aggression
and longer maintain and
preserve oik equality in this confederacy.
The non slaveholding Stntes with
a union and energy which should
.... 1.1.. ?
iiiuivi' ua imu:sii <ii o.jr envisions, nave
already excluded you from California,
and through various dcviccs propose
excluding you from all participation
in the remainder of the vast
acquisitions from Mexico, nay more,
not satisfied with these lordly pretensions
they are now trying to desp ,:.l
Texas of a large amount of her territory,
by casting doubt upon her
title, and threatening to bring upon
our brethren of that State all the
power of the Army and the Navv, if
she attempts to assert her rights.?
After creating the difficulty by their
miMi hn/i ? " r
alUJlllUl UCqUlSlllOll IIUS pCCll
made, anil \vc ask that the same line
may be adopted; but what is the response
of the North, "That the terri
lory was free when it was acquired,
nnd they never will consent that any
part of it shall be open to the enjoyment
of the slaveholder." If the
South had taken the position when
the former acquistions were made,
that it was slave territory when it
came to the Slates, and refused to allow
any portion of it to he converted
into free-soil, what a vast amount of
slave territory would she have been
mistress of t\t this day, stretching
from the Gulf Mexico to the British
possessions north, and from the Mississippi
river to the Pacific west. In
audition In all ililu
,,U?1 HIV. ICIIIIUIJ' "Ul
of which the populous Stales of Ohio.
Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and
Michigan were formed, was once
slave territory belonging to Virginia
?granted by her to the States under
the confederation, arid slavery excluded
therefrom with her consent.?

the South shown the free States, and
how is our generosity now being reemipensed
i?y their grateful sons.-JLook
to the mop nnd see the munificent
appropriations by the South ol
slave to the free-soil territory, and
answer as men and a? men of spirit
if you will submit to total exclusion
from all participation in the Mexican
acqtjl&itions.
The line of 30 30 with a recogniti?m
of the lights of the farmer and
planter to enter with his slaves is one
of c *ne concession, but for the
saktv. naiirionv and the Union, the
South will acquiesce in it. But thai

mini?? luiiijjnnnisc is oi
/Vied, by which it is proposed to pay
Texas, ten millions of dollars, for not
only the land but the sovereignty.
You are called upon to pay your proportion
of ten millions of dollars that
i'exas slave territory may be converted
into New Mexican free soil
territory. After casting suspicion
upon the title, they draw the sword
and : ay to Texas, if you do not take
the moneyi we will give you the
sword. It would not require much
of a prophet to foretell her decision.
The acquisition from Mexico was
made by the common blood and
treasure of all the States, the South
contributing her full share of each,
and the citizens of all the Slates have
an equal right to emigrate thither
with their property and to claim the
protection of this Government. A
banditti in disposing of common plunder,
would recognise and practise
this just rule, but our Ntrrihprn brethren

share for their own use.
If the right of entering and enjoying
the common lands of ilio Slates,
and of having full protection for all
property that may he carrio;i there,
is denied, then there must he a partition
of the territory. The line of
r?0 30 is the most appropriate boundary;
it was applied to the territory
acquired from France, known as
the Louisiana territory, and the
South thereby surrendered more land
to the North and consented to the
exclusion of slavery therefrom, than
she retained herself. It was re-enacted
on the annexation of Texas, and
ihc South again surrendered to freesoil
territory sufficient for two States.
