 KESOLTTTIOISJ B 
 
 Expressive of the determination of Georgia to prosecute the present 
 ■\vMr with the utmost vigor and energy. 
 
 Whereas, at a session of the General Assembly of the State of 
 Georgia, in the year 1 861. the following resolutions were adopted : 
 
 Resolved, That it is the sense of this General Assembly, that the 
 separation of those States, now forming the Confederate States of 
 America, from the Unite<l States, is, and ought to be, final and irrevo- 
 cable, and that Georgia will, under no circumstances, entertain any 
 ]»roposition, from any quarter, which may have for its object a restor- 
 ation or reconstruction of the late Union, on any terms or conditions 
 whatever. 
 
 7?f'.Wi'crf, That the war which the United States are waging upon 
 the Confedetate States should be met on our part with the utmost 
 vigor and energy, until our independence and nationality are uncon- 
 ditionally acknowledged by the United States. 
 
 Resolved, I'hat Georgia pledges herself to her sister States of the 
 Confederacy, that she will stand by them throughout the struggle, 
 she will contribute all the means which her resources will supply, so 
 far as the same may be neiiessary, to the support of the common cause, 
 and will not consent to I;!y down anna until peace ip established on the 
 ha-^is of the foregoing resolutions. 
 
 Whereas. The enunciation ot said resolutions is as truly expressive 
 of the position of Georgia to-day as at the time of their adoption ; and 
 whereas, the meeting of another General Assembly of the State, after 
 a lapse of two years more of struggle for independence, presents an 
 occasion peculiarly appropriate to the renewal of these declarations, 
 and that the world may know that Georgia does not tire of the war 
 until her purpose is accomplished, nor abate anything of the spirit and 
 determination manifested by said resolution ; Therefore, 
 
 Resolvtd, That this Senate and House of Representatives in Gen- 
 eral Assembly met, with a fixed and unaltered purpose to stand by 
 them, do re-affirra and re-adopt said resolutions in their letter and 
 spirit. 
 
 Resolved further, That the Governor cause copie.s of these resolii- 
 
tioiiR to bo transmitted to the President of the Confederate States, and 
 the (:Jovernor«< of the severnl States of the Confederacy, and also to the 
 President of the Senate, and the Speaker of the House of Representa- 
 tives of the Confedirate Congress, with the request that they naus»e 
 said resolutions to be read before their respective bodies.
