 The following arc the Resolutions referred to: ^^. 
 
 Resolutions expressive of the dfteniiiiiation of Georgia to prosecute the present war with the utraoR; 
 
 vigor and energy, 
 
 Wiii-.KKAS, At a session of the General Assembly of the State of Georgia, in the year 1861, the fol" 
 lowing r.'solutions were adopted: "Resolved, That it is the sense of this General Assembly, that the 
 separation of those States now forming the Confederate ."^rates of America, from the United States, is, and 
 ought to lit, fiaal and irrevocable ; and that Georijia will, under no circumstances, entertain any prop^- 
 tion from any quarter, which may have for its object a restoration. or reconstruction of the late Uiiion, 
 on any terms or conditions whatever." 
 
 "Resolved, That the war which the United States are waging'' upon the Confederate States, should 
 be met on our part, with the utmost vigor and energy, >intil our independence and nationality are uncondi- 
 tionally acknowledged by the United States.'' 
 
 ••Resolved, That Georgia pledges iierself to her sister States of the Confederacy, that she will stand 
 by tbeni throughout the struggle; she will coniribute all tlifl mains which her resources will supply, so 
 far as the same may be necessay to the suppon of the common cause ; and will not consent to lay down 
 arms until peace is established on the. basis of the foregoing resolutions." 
 
 Whereas, The enunciation of said resolutions is as truly exjiressive of the position of Georgia to-day, 
 as at the time of their adoption, aud .whcrc,ns, th^- meeting of another General Assembly of the State, a"f- 
 tter a lapse of two years more of strupgie for i-.ulepenclenie. presents an occasion peculiarly appropriate to 
 the renewal of these declarations ; and tlint the world may know that Georgia does not tire cf the war un- 
 til her purpose is accomplisliedi uor abate any thiogofthe sjiirit an.! determination manifested by said 
 resolutions. Therefore, . «r • .._ 
 
 Resolved, That this Senate am! ITouh* of Representatives, in General Assembly met, with a fixcd 
 and unalterable purpose to standby ilnin, do re-alhrm and re-adopt said resolutions in their letter and 
 spirit. * 
 
 Resolved lurther. That the Governor cause copies of these resolutions to be transmitted • to the 
 l*rcsident of the Confederate States, and the Governors of the several States of the Confederacy, and also 
 ^to fhe President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives of the Confederate Congress, 
 ;[\vith the request that they cause said resolutions to be read before their respective bodies.
