Georgia Democratic Party in the Election of 1860:
GEORGIA POLITICS. [FROM THE AUGUSTA CONSTITUTIONALIST.]
10pp, folded, some loosening and light blank edge chipping. Caption title [as issued]. Good+. The National Democratic Party's 1860 Convention met first at Charleston, and adjourned with a decision to meet again at Baltimore. The Georgia delegation split into two factions: the first, led by William Lowndes Yancey of Alabama, decided to form a new political party based exclusively on Southern Rights, especially the National Government's obligation to protect slavery and slaveholders in all the Territories. The second faction wished to continue working within the National Democratic Party. A State Convention at Milledgeville was called in an effort to resolve the dispute. After the Yancey faction lost, it issued this "appeal from the Milledgeville verdict." This pamphlet reviews the issues involved in the conflict, and presents the resolutions and platforms of the two factions. II Renne 609. OCLC 668994047 [1-U GA] [as of 7/12].

Georgia:
JOURNAL OF THE STATE CONVENTION, HELD IN MILLEDGEVILLE, IN DECEMBER, 1850.
34pp, original blue printed front wrapper. Stitched and removed. Light stain to title leaf and faint stain to several subsequent leaves. Very Good. 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. FIRST EDITION.

MEMORIAL OF THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA. JANUARY 13TH, 1806.
A. & G. Way, Washington:, 1806
45, [3 blanks] pp. Disbound and lightly tanned, Very Good. Georgia's boundary with the States of South and North Carolina was in dispute for many years. This Memorial assembles official documentation regarding the conflicts. In 1787 Georgia agreed with South Carolina that their boundary was the northernmost branch of the Savannah River, with islands in the river belonging to Georgia. The many uncertainties which developed were not finally resolved until 1990. See, Georgia v. South Carolina, 497 U.S. 376 [1990]. A 12-mile "orphan strip" in what is now Transylvania County, North Carolina, was claimed by both Georgia and North Carolina. As part of the 1802 Yazoo Land Cession Act, Georgia had responsibility for the orphan strip but the Act did not make clear whether Georgia owned it; Georgia created a County for the strip and claimed it. North Carolina, of course, claimed the land also. This Memorial sets forth the nature of the dispute and asks the United States to resolve it. FIRST EDITION. I De Renne 326. BEAL 10676. AI 11625 [5]. Not in Thornton or Turnbull.
