Phenix Gazette

The London Courier of the 22d gives a copy of the intemperate Resolve of the Legislature of Georgia on the affairs of the Creeks, of the 6th June: and adds a number of comments of this "menace of the Federal Government."

"Statesmen" it says, "on both sides of the Atlantic, have never disguised from themselves the utter impossibility of the United States of America continuing under the present form of government-a form sufficiently well adapted perhaps to the wants of an infant State, but wholly inadequate to those of a maturer one.-[It then gives a string of reasons for the opinion, and proceeds:]

"With respect, however, to the violent language and resolutions of the State Legislature of Georgia, (for they proclaim, that "having exhausted argument, they will stand by their arms,") we cannot wish success to their object, which is avowed to be, resistance to the General Government, for the sake of maintaining, uncontrolled, the system of slavery which prevails in the Southern States. "As Athens, as Sparta, as Rome was, we will be; they held slaves, we hold them." By the same mode of arguing, these Georgia Senators might resolve to abjure Christianity and embrace Paganism. Sorry, indeed, should we be to find the General Government unable to enforce its decrees against this enormous evil.-

But we anticipate no such result: and the menace of the State Legislature of Georgia, on the present occasion, is worthy of notice, only as it shews by what slender ties the Union is held together, and how immediately any particular state, thwarted in its specific interests by the measures of the General Government, looks to separation as the remedy."
