Excerpt from The North American Quarterly Magazine, Vol. 7: January, 1836
People of Georgia! I appeal to you. I came among you as a fellow-country man. I came to make myself acquainted with your history and your character, and with the numberless natural beauties, and with the countless riches of your domain. I came under the guarantee of the compact between the sister States of the Republic, Which secures to the citizens of each, unobstructed communica tion with all. I came, relying upon the spirit of hospitality which has distin guished the South. I have told you how I have been treated. If any member of the Republic has been especially remarkable for her resistance to the intrusion of one State upon the rights of another, it is Georgia. How then can I believe that she will uphold her officers, who have in the most glaring and the coarsest manner, been guilty of such an intrusion? I do not, therefore, identify the State with the wrongs I have received. But under these wrongs, I cannot again enter the State until its people do themselves the justice to tell me that I have judged them fairly, in believing they feel themselves insulted by the insults which have been heaped, in their name, upon the independence of a neighbouring power, and upon the Constitution, our common protector, - in the person of a stranger, a countryman, and a friend.
