185022940Milledgeville 1850. 34pp disbound lacks wrappers. original blue printed front wrapper. Institutional blindstamp at head of title page and first page of text. Tear to top corner of final leaf costing several words on last two pages. Good. <br/><br/> A significant illustration of the nature of the deep South's attachment to the Union in 1850. The Convention expresses Georgia's reaction to the Compromise of 1850. Secession is opposed but on practical grounds only: slavery is more secure inside the Union than out. But "the South is entitled to absolute security and quiet on this subject." The issue of fugitive slaves receives "especial notice." Indeed the Convention asserts that preservation of the Union depends on strict enforcement of the new Fugitive Slave Act. This 'Georgia Platform' "became the cornerstone of southern policy for several years.The Georgia Platform epitomized the attitude of the great majority of southerners in 1850. They still cherished their 'beloved Union' and would not part from it lightly.but their acquiescence was emphatically conditional and not absolute." Potter Impending Crisis 128. <br/>FIRST EDITION.

Untrimmed and partially unopened. One of the pamphlets relating to the Yazoo Claims problem. The controversy was a result of the granting of lands by the state of Georgia in the area of present-day Alabama and Mississippi touching on the course of the Yazoo River. This pamphlet was issued by the Georgia Mississippi Company to defend their rights to the lands they were offering for sale in Georgia Alabama and Mississippi. The lands were granted to the Company by the Georgia legislature after extensive bribes changed hands and the case quickly became a major scandal. Georgia rescinded the grant the following year although the case dragged on in court until 1814. According to Everitt Wilkie this was printed in Hartford not Philadelphia as stated in Evans.

Large wood and wax seal of Georgia attached with ribbon. Folded. Light tanning and foxing. Very good. An impressive printed land grant completed in manuscript for 1000 acres of land in Washington County Georgia granted by Gov. George Mathews to Richmond Dawson. The document is signed by Mathews as well as the surveyor George Weatherby who has included a sketch of the land in question. The land is described as "on the waters of Choopee River bounded South West and South East by said Dawson's Land and on all other sides by Vacant Lands." <br> <br> Governor Mathews had an eventful career first as a Revolutionary soldier including a stint as colonel of the Virginia troops in Greene's Carolina campaign then as governor of Georgia and finally as a special agent leading "irregular" activities in attempts to wrest Florida from Spain in 1810-12. In the end the U.S. government repudiated Mathews' Florida actions and he died in Augusta a bitter old man. "By his demise the authorities at Washington escaped the consequences of his threat that he'd 'be dam'd if he didn't blow them all up' and he carried to the grave much evidence that might explain his debatable conduct" - DAB.
