SOUTHER N CQNFEDEEACY. w out. 4. rtirfll. KtXMM A» rMfUlTOM. J* y A T I# A HTA, CKORGIA J THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1861. TUB LOAN. GREAT GATHERING AT THE CITY HALL. Bloquuut Atinm of lieu# B. H. Hill. Om Tuoodfty last, according to previous sp- paintraent, Hr. Hill addreaasd the ciliaans of Fulton count/ at the Oily Hall. Tha spacious audience room waa crowded to overflowing, and bundrade were unable to get into the room. ~ A very large number of ladiee were present. Mr. Hill waa greeted with rounda of ap plause on entering the room. The meeting waa opened with an appropriate prayer by Rev. J. L. R »gera. Hen. Wm. Etiard then in troduced the eloquent orator, who spoke as follows: Ladit* and Fellow Citizen*: When I address ed you in April last, I said we were not through thia revolution. That statement is now being verified. The revolution is upon us with all its importance. We are in the midst of it It requires all the caution and good judgment we are capable of exercising. My purpose to-day is to explain a business measure—purely a business transaction, which it is important that every one should under stand, and all who possibly can, should take a part in it At the late session of Congress, an act author ising a loan of $16,000,000 waa passed. It was deemed sufficient for all requirements at that time. Lincoln had not then issued his unau thorized war proclamation—for history will so characterise it After that a loan of $50,000,- 000 was authorised by Congress. We thought that sufficient to prosecute the war for our do- fense for the remainder of the first twelve months of our existence. It is an easy matter for,the Legislature or Congress to authorise a loan ; it is not always so easy to get the loan taken—as I apprehend Mr. Lincoln will find out before he gets his $400,000,000 taken. We needed the money, and we cast about for the best means to procure it. Everybody saw that we must have it for self- defense. We could not go abroad to get it; our Government has not been recognised. We could not go into the great commercial marts of the North—they are our enemies. For one, 1 had no disposition.to go out of our own bor ders for means to defend us. We did not want to run the risk of a failure with its mortifica tions ; and I should havs opposed it if success had been certain. This revolution is a move ment of our own people, and should be sus tained by ourselves. It is an important point to show that we can sustain ourselves, by an exhibition of our real strength, and to demon strate to the world our power, in the outset.— Hence, we must come to our own people. This war is for our own interests—as important as life and all that is dear; the success is for us, and we must furnish the means necessary to secure it. We have not come to you as a great commercial or moneyed people, engaged in largo exchanges and stock brokerage; but we come to you as an Agricultural People. We have no ships, but we have that with which they are laden. We have no commerce, but we have that without which commerce has no life; no manufactures, but we have that for which manufactories are built, and without which they must stop their wheels. If our ju risdiction does not extend far down the stream, we control the fountain, and can cut off the supply of water. The announcement is, that we authorise the Secretary of the Treasury to issue the loan on your agricultural products. We come to you and say: “Bell your cotton at your own time, in your own way, to whomsoever you please, and at whatever price you can got; but when you do sell, consent to take Confed erate bonds in payment for a given amount— whatever amount you can spare—instead of bank bills, as usual.** Borne people don’t understand the arrange ment. “ Am I to sell my oolton, or is the Gov ernment to take it and sell it I" is ofien asked. All plans were fully discussed in Congress, and the one adopted was believ«d to be the best, most appropriate and effectual. We did not, and do not now, believe it w >uld be proper for our Government—unless in an extreme case— to go into the market and purchase the cotton, yon are to sell it yourself as you like; but when you do sell, take Confederate bends in payment for a certain part of your crop. This proposition seems to me to be plain. There are some of our people who have no cotton, but who have “military stores and pro visions” to spare. These the Government wants, and will purchase at fair rates. These you sell direct to the Government. The Gov ernment wantf something to feed the army with—flour, meal, pickled pork, dried beef and bacon. These will all be taken at market prices, and paid for in Confederate bonds. You are invited to invest in this way as far as pos- ■ible. The Secretary of the Treasury has issued in structions and made suggestions concerning ike purchase of military stores, as well as the eotton loan. Let me recommend you to follow all his suggestions, and comply with all his requests. He has my full confidence. A bet ter selection for the post he occupies could not have been found in the Confederacy or the world. He is a gentleman of the highest order of intellect, and trained up to financial mat tern from his youth. This important matter he fully understands la all its vast ratifications. It gives a# pleasure to speak of him as one ef the ablest men, and one of the most efficient officers in the werld. Have ae sort of hesi tation in complying with any of his sugges tions or requirements. As I said, this war must be supported by us. We must furnish the means, and I will give yon a few mere reasons : Yen are aware that the North has tried to areata their people sgainst us and prevent our recognition abroad, by representing that the revolution here is under the control of a rebel lions clique ef traitors; that ambitions politl- dine have unlawfully seised upon the reins of Government against the wishes of the people, who are kept under bv terrorism, sad that we are aU for the Union as soon as .w*dare speak out. ■ ft “ Now we want te teeoe them sot jrrartwss be a hearty res pouts to this Prod use 1 Govern met ton earth, ever he fore made such a proposition to its people. It is an appeal di rectly-net to no interested few, but to the masses of all pursuits and interests—to the great popular heart in avery possible shade ef feelings and views. Zf you respond promptly ‘and heartily, it will do more to convince the Yankees than aoy thing elsa on earth, and will establish our independence end recognition abroad more readily than any success of onr armies. Rut they have said, that if we were unit ed in sentimeot, we have not tha power and means necessary to oarry out snooaesfully ibis revolution. They have said, we have no mon ey ; that we have land and negroes and cotton, but that we have no ships, commercial marts, manufactures, Ac Feliow citisens, it was the opinion of your Government when this loan bill was passed, that you had that which, if withdrawn from the market, we could success fully say to them: “Where are your ships, oonimerce, bank stocks and manufactures?” When they ask us, where is our power, we point to that little attenuated cotton thread, which a child can break, butwhioh, neverthe less can hang the world. (Immense applause.) They laugh at us. They say that wa are poor aud have no resources—that wa are spir itless and a few daring politioiana have got oontrol of ue, and we dare not speak our sen timents. I wish they really did consider us of no sccount, and would let us alone. None uf us would object to that. But they lie, wilfully, knowingly and intentionally, when they say we are so insignificant in power and resources; for Lincoln has asked for four hundred thous and men and four hundred millions of dollars to subjugate us poor no acoount people. [Ap- pUu..] “ Will the bonds be good ?” This question I am often aaked. I have thia remark to make in all sincerity and truth : If I knew positive ly that they would not be worth one cent, yet if they would enable the Government to carry on the war, and secure our independence, I, for one, am willing to give all I am worth for our success; aod I think everybody else ought to be willing to do the same thing were it nec essary. Neither do I admit that our Govern ment is s failure, unless we raise the money. I believe, when the dark hour comes, if come it must, we will be able to carry on, and carry out successfully, this war, without a dollar or the prospect of a dollar. A good many persons who live by gouging Governments when money is asked for, say it is indispensable, and inaoy others have got to believing it. When a people take up arms to sustain their liberty, they have something more valuable to nerve their arm than the “almighty dollar,” and far more effectual than all the gold of the earth. No; we can carry on this war to a successful ter mination without a dollar. On the 4th of July, Providence sent us a Declaration of Indepen dence in the shspe of a glorious shower. [Rap turous applause ] “Having food and raiment be therewith content.” We can make enough to eat, and our women can spin and weave euough to wear. We will neither die of hun ger or freeze from nakedness. If we don’t sell a bale of cotton, we will not suffer half as much by keeping it, as they will by not getting it— “ We shall not live by cotton alone.” You have heard to day some unpleasant news from the first Georgia Regiment at Laurel Hill, in Virginia. It is not so welcome as we could have desired, and aa much of previous army intelligence has been ; but we must ex pect disaster. We shall not get along without humiliation. How much of it are jou going to endure before you give way to Lincoln?— Have any of you fixed up the point to which you are going to endure suffering and reverses, and at which, when reached, you are going to submit? I feel that I could live on aah cakes, and go in rags all my life; rather thau yield the smallest particle to his usurpations; and I tell you, eating aah cakes is not so hard as many would suppose ; but I know this people are ready to endure any sufferings, privations, tortures and doaths, to the very last man, be fore we will yield to their unjust demands. It matters not how much you may have lov ed the Union, Lincoln has usurped all power, and set aside everything that made the Union desirable. In a Constitutional Government, where the powers of the Executive are all re stricted by law, the President has overleaped the Constitution and all its guaranties, and now asks his Congress to legalise his acts ! He has absorbed into one department all the pow- ers of the several departments, whether execu tive, legislative, or judicial—aod more than exists in alt comb ned, and then aaka to be ex cused ! Right here I take occasion to thank Lincoln for one thing. He says, that when he does con quer ua, he will govern us according to the Constitution 1 It is because he and hie party have violated the Comtitution, and trampled all its obligations under foot, utterly repudia ting them, that we have left that Government.— Will you go back to them, now that all the vio lations for which you left them, are multiplied a thousand fold, because the usurper holds out a rod over your backs? Treat us acccording to the Constitution ! And yet he says, a State bears the same relation to the general Govern ment that a county does to a State! He says, in his message, he will treat ua according to the Constitution, when he shell have oonquer- ed us, aod yet in the same message, he asks Congress to legalise his acknowledged viola tions of that instrument! And that body has already passed a resolution looking to tha re peal of tha fugitive slave law! Shall we tru*t themt Nnvxal Then, if I knew the bonds would not be good, it would not abate my contribution.— What do I want with good bonds, if I am to bo e slave? But the bonds will be good if the Government is good, and that will be good, if you bo good and sustain it. “But will they pay debts?” I am asked. I don’t know. Will you take them for debts due yoti? I will. Will your neighbor do an? If to they will be good. You might ask me if the bills of the Benk of Savannah will be good next winter. I could not tell. I don't know it* eoodition now, nor what it will ba next winter. 1 might say In adva&e* that I will gake them anyhow. My neighbor might say tbe tame, if everybody « will bo good;#** MOind break the bnek under such clreumsteaca*. If yon are going to snhmit to LSaaoia, they will oofc be worth one oeat If net, they will be good. It le all with yon. I have hereiefrrt said that in three rnenths after peace they would be the boot bond* on earth, and I lay eo new. We are the largest produce exporting people In the world, and it is Impossible for them net to be the beet. Our oolton crop alone 1* worth $206,606,066, end we export It nearly all. When Mr. Guthrie was Secretary of tbe Treeaury, there wee ea fmmeae e surplus of money en bead, end Congress authorised him to purchase United States $ per sent bonds that Were not doe. He offered 16 per cent premium on them, and •cold not buy them at that. Now make your caloulatioa by tbe ruleof three: If mx per oent bonds of the old Government, which we more than half supported, were, in time of peace end prosperity, worth sixteen per sent preml urn, whet will our eight per oeat bonds be worth aad we cut loose from tbe North ? Ro- inember while making the calculation, that it was the greet products of the South that ren dered those bonds 10 valuable. When peace is restored—when the struggle is over, what a future is before us! We will have an absolute surplus of ons hundred and fifty millions a year, and more, of the products of onr soil. Then we will have no divided pub lic sentiment. Our people and pursuits will be homogeneous. We hope to put down trading politicians who ere not looking out for their country’s good, but hunting up and manufac turing majorities, with which to get office.— Now, with this state of things, when peace comes, the bonds will he worth at least 20 or 25 per cent. But we do not appeal to the cotton ard pro vision growers alone; we want money also.— You who have no products hut have money, can let us have that. A dollar mado by sell ing a horse or a yard of eloth, is just as valua ble as one made by selling a bale of cotton. Subscribe anything you have—produce or money. But some ask how much they most subscribe. I generally tell everybody to save enough of their cotton, corn and wheat for current ex penses and supplies, and subscribe the balance. If you will do this, we will get along, with no trouble on the score of money. Borne fear they will be taken advantage of by sharpers in the market, when the time comes for the sale of their cotton and other produce. Of this there is no danger, for tha Government’s interest is exactly parallel with yours. Thv more your cotton sells for, the more money will tbe Government get. The Government will not suffer your crop to be sacrificed, or allow injustice done; for it is as much to its interest aa yours. The more you examine this scheme, in all its phases, the more will its beauties he seen. It works ex actly to the best possible interests of both tbe Government aod people in every way. Subscribe on the basis of an average crop.— Don’t be afraid of after c'aps. Don’t look at this matter as if you were one man and the Goverment another, to cheat you in a trade. Your interests are the same, and you are one. You must be the Government, and the Gov eminent you- the same as you and your wifi are one. There is and can he no Government without you, and no you without the Govern ment. I had as lief not he, as be under Government I did not approve and could not sustain. “How long will this war last?” J am otto a asked. I cannot tell, but I don’t think it will last long—judgiog from the temper of the times, and looking at it in the light of philos ophy. So far as the North ia concerned, there is nothing to fight for. When a man has some thing to fight for, he can and will fight des perately. But what does tbe North fight for ? Whose liberty among them baa been infringed, or what one of them did we ever deaire to in jure? We don’t want to hurt them, unless quitting them does it. We will fight a hun dred years to keep them off our soil, but quit when they let us alone. The North is insd now—awfully mad; though they have nothing to be mad about.— When such people do get mad thay make more fuss about it than any others. They try to make up in show for what they lack in fact. But what has tbe South to fight for ? All our liberties, rights and everything we hold dear or makes life worth having. How long do you think a Southern man will fight for thia? Tilt he die*—let that be loug or abort. How much will he give in such a cause? All he ha* or ever expect* to have. But, ask tbe men of the North, “ What are you fightiug about ?” We’re fighting Jot the l T n\on" is the reply. [Laughter and applause.] “Who is hurting you or wrong ing you, that you should fight ?” We’re fight, ing for the glorious flag,” is again the reply.— [Immense laughter and applause.] They al ways abused and wronged us while were with them ; hut since we have left them they are awfully afllicted with Unionism. I would not have a union with any one—not with the pret tiest woman in the world, if I had to whip her every dey to maintain that union. [Shouts of laughter and applause.] When Chase’s direct tax is being collected, the people of the North will havs a feeling sense of the question as they ask, “ What are we fighting fur ?” I havs a remark or two mors to make, and that is for the future. I am now on my way to Richmond. I don’t know when we are to have peace, hat it will come some time, aad I venture to throw out a suggestion in anticipa tion of it Are there any difficulties in the way after peace is obtained ? There ere tnaoy, and we should look to them. Our harmony is now great, aad/vogbav* much to oonsole us on this account. But tbe new volume of history now before us is blank, and must he filled by ua.— We are different, and placed under circum stances different from any other people who have hod a piece in history. There is nothing liko it in all tho past that can teach us what we ere to he, and I suggest one or two difficultiee. Our sucoeaa is oertain. That we are to hs separated from the North ia unquestionable.— We never can he conquered. We are mainly an Agricultural people, and have a peculiar system of agrieultural labor. We never can beoome a manufacturing people. Myepiaion is, that so Government like ours sen run a sours* of leag—aid certainly note/ perpetual prosperity—unices ike peoflo there* of manege to keep it ia Iks hands #f those whose interests are Identified with It The peo ple least also rise abovo all tha quibbles of demagogues- -the sol fish appeals of passion aad prcjadice of thoso who soak power ihrepgh aa unholy smbitloa—keep In view th#|r own wants aad frame their staUemanshipjsseerd lagly. Wa rales near $260,000,600 a year of ear pins produets far export, la oat article alone. This must be manufactured. The profits ca thia manufacture has built up the North—al most turning their very grains uf saad into fsld What ws rained they fattened on. But this system will hs changed somewhat Then they could corns and got our oottoo aod send back their manufactures, without paying any duties. This esa no longer be done. When pesos is proclaimed the whole world will seek oar productions. Then tho North must pay a duty which they will not relish. Thsn they will come down on us in largo numbers. They will overflow our country, in troduce customs and (doss deleterious to onr wellbeing, and fetch their euti-slevery ideas along with thorn. Their pursuits will conflict with our agrieultural interests, and damage us incalculably. Ail this will bo tho result, if wa do not adopt some system to keep them out Instead of separating from them, you will only bring the North down to us. Our struggle is for life, liberty, aud all the wise maxims and teachings which have come down to as from our fathers, and to transmit tho same, unim paired to oar posterity. But mark the dark page, when those who are now yoar enemies come to make up and write out your history. The Puritans are of bad stock. They ere always in a fuss, and out of their element unices they have some one to persecute and annoy. When they can find no ooeeleeto persecute, they will turn against their own people and their own household.— This wot their character in the old world from their earliest history, and it is now. They are sticklers for forms, and keep clean the outside of the cup and the platter. It was this puri tan spirit that carried Cromwell into power, who, in tho name of liberty, loaded tho people with a more onerous desp>tism than that which they suffered before. They adhered to particular forms of worship called themselves saints, and said no others were. Cromwell called his Puritanical relig ions Parliament together. Their names are one of the greatest curiosities in history. The Puritans, in those days, did not give their chil dren names, as decent people always do; but selected some passage of 8cripture, or some exceedingly religious phrase—no matter bow long or ridiculous—for a name. One of Crom well's Parliament was named “Praise-God Barebonee,” end his brother was named “ If- the-Lord-bad-not-died-for- you,--you -would- have-been-damned Barehones.” For short ness, they called him “ 'Damned Barehones; 1 and that Parliament is known as the Bare- bones Parliament to this day. They used to hold prayer meetings, and indulge in ail sorts of puritanio extravagance in the seesions of Parliament. The body was dispersed for their incompetency and wretched legislation. On the morning when it occurred, they were holding suoh a mooting. They were asked what they were doing. “ We are looking for the Lord,” they replied. “Then you must look for him somewhere else,” was the prompt response, and they were dispersed. Well, they came over here, and kicked up a fuss with the Indians. They made a poor out at fighting them, however, and it is most re markable that they have always got us into all tbe fusses and wars we have bad since tbe rev olution, but they never would fight our ene mies. They would fight their friends, but not their enemies, and thia accounts for their fight ing us now. They got to burning witches— the most legitimate business in which they ev er were engaged. They say there is a “ high er law,” and refuse to obey tbe laws of their own country. So, you aee they are governed by their own convictions of right, and those conviotionsare the child of their own prejudices and puri tanic spirit. They are an envious, unquiet, turbulent, bigoted and uncharitable race.— They were the cauee of all the trouble! we had in the Union, and foreed us to abandon it. Now, if you have been compelled to leave them, can you live with them when they come down here among you ? Then look to this thing in the future, and guard againat it. One thing more. The South is better situ ated (or tbe development of a military power than any nation in tbe world. We don’t know our own power. If this war shoaldTaat long, I fear it will develop a military powar hard to control. Even our fathers—virtuous as they were—would have made Waehington a King, if he had not been made by Heaven as he ought to havs been ; hence, he tefused it— There may he a Cromwell or a Napoleon among us, whose ambition will lead him to attempt deeds inconsistent with the name of liberty. The safety to be maintained or lost is yours. It is in your hands; guard against the danger that lies in your pathway. Think of these things. If you do not agree with me, pardon me. They ere not applica ble to the subject; but I felt it my duty to say a few words on these peints. Remember the loan, and subscriba liberally. The Government must be sustained, and you must do it.
