There are some general considerations which
determlue me to say that 1 snail vote to ratify
tbe proposed constitution, aud th.se 1 will pro

If, in the science of our American system of

as fixed, settled truth, it ts this: That ‘all gov
era menu derive their authority from the con
sent of the governed." If this ts not true, th**u
nothing ehe iu our system is true, for tv ry-
thing else—the whole system—is built upon this
proportion. From this proposition n result*

inherent power to rule the people, but fs a ui mg
created and invented with derivative authority-

those who administer government are servants

of this is simply a monarchist
The whole scheme of congressional recon
struction wasa plain, palpable and unmltiga-
t d violation of thia fundamental principle of
our American system of government, anu
equally a plain, palpable and unmitigated vio
lation of every provision ol the federal const!
tution which was built upon that principle.
The constitution under which the people ol
Georgia have been living lor nearly ten years,
w*s net mad* by their consent. It was made
under enters from Washing ion, which orders
were accompanied by th* bayonet, and
were executed under the direot supervision of
thebasouet. The delegate* who were chomb to a
convention to obey tbos* orders were choeen bya
constituency which was created at Wsshlngt ou,
and from which constltm ncy the great body of

const!ration owes its existence and vitality to
those who were uot to live under It, and did
not derive its authority from ti<e consent of the
people who were to be governed by it It thus
resulis that the man who ai proves that consti
tution has abend ned the fundamental princi

quence, has abnoduued the whole system itself,
aud is an infidel in American politics and has
become a Europe vn monarchist
The limitation we are now called on to ratify
has been made oy delegates freely choson by all
our people. It has been framed without the
presence or fear of bayonets. It will not
