But a sad duty devolved upon every patriot who stood forth as a teacher or a reformer in the State, and truth required that it should be said that with all our wondrous affluence ot resources, there i was a steady decline in the public prosperity. tll6 j booking ahead was after a good thing, but looking back was after'tbe vein of life that . was fullest of warning aod admonition. Sta- | tistics are the real eyes of the Statesman, and without tbeir guidance we can never find our way out of the labyrinth of financial and economical problems. What, then, was the solemn troth in regard to onr condition, industrially considered? Take the item of com production—and it was logical to place first the naked question of bread—and what do the returns show ? Why, that in 1850 the State of Georgia produced of corn, more than 30,000,000 of bushels; of wheat, nearly 1,110,000, bushels; of rye, nearly desires to fill op the outline already famished you readers with a more circumstantial re* j 54,000 bushels; of oats, 3,800,000; of barley, 111,500 bushels.

X suggest as my contribution, that in all such cases as we have alluded to, that we appeal to the courts for the enforcement of a “specific performance" of the contract. The remedy is as old as equity law itself, and if vuiost rn.de courts now in existence are not nu- merous enough or convenient enough for a proper care of such cases, let ns estab lish and empower them whenever they may be needed. While we are oaring for the perverse and dishonest laborer who en gages to work, don’t let ns forget to take care at the same time of the dishonest hirer who is too perverse and corrupt to pay. Let all have equal justice and be made to stand on his engagement Then when we have se cured reliable labor, let us reform our mode of life as planters and farmers. Send no money oat of the country to enrich strangers which can as well and better be kept at home to enrich and adorn home. Study small economies—waste nothing, that charity and hospitality may never be left as a burden, and that the great staple crop which so blesses or rather which might so bless our land if prop erly used—may he held in reserve for that di versified industry which it is so much the fashion of those preaching reform to urge upon M AKE W.

Besides this, the resolutions named the par ties who were to act as this committee. So soon as the Convention was organized—in deed, before it was organized—Mr. Yancey arose, and. with a very marked display of feeling, called the attention of the Convention to the preceding facts as we have in substance day, and this hour, we are called upon to meet them sqaarely aud like men. Explanations will not save us; apologies caunot rescue us from impending bankruptcy. But it will be the first step towards recovery and restoration to find out the causes of our decline. It will be a point gained, and a most important one, when we can tell why it is that with a popu lation larger by twelve per cent., onr whole industrial production has declined full forty- two per cent, in the last ten years.

Suffice it to say, I to solve this wondrous problem the minds the partiality and spleen required iu its ex- | and powers not of this society alone should pectoration almost the entire morning session I be devoted, bnt the best energies of an em- of the first day of the Convention. The mo-1 P*re of statesmen could find no higher theme^ tive was too manifest, and that motive seem ed to be, to every human being present, a de sire to assault and injure President Colquitt, and not to vindicate ex-President Yan cey. Heavy, black clouds could be seen to pass over Colquitt’s face, as some of the more hurtful and ungen erous passages of this now notorious paper, were read. But before it was all through, the man with his usual magnanimity and eleva tion of soul, rose way above the low plane of this venom, and said iu a few dignified words to tbe Convention, tbat he dismissed the matter without a lingering resentment, and cheerfully left the final verdict with the Con vention and the country. The spiciest part of the whole episode was the criticism of Col. Grier, of Jones. This msn is as solid as the butt end of a wedge of gold, and never min ces. Said the Col: “In all my knowledge of conventions and reports, this paper beats all. Who wrote this paper, Mr. President? Surely tbe two meo whose names are sub scribed to it could not have done it. No man but a fool eoold have signed snch a thing. Who then did write it?” The high elliptical ceiling only “who then did write it?" But this yoor friend, the xrriter, will say for Mr. Taney's good, his friends deeply regetted this thing—the true friends of tbe Society lamented it, and it came very nearly resulting in very great harm. One word from Colquitt would have started a blaze of feeling and re tort which would have told xrith fatal effect on the success of the meetiog. if it had not fixed a more lasting injury on the great cause itself for which the body had convened. Can dor however compels us to say the report was not without impression. Its effect was very marked indeed, and re-elected General Col quitt by acclamation, to the fourth terra of his incumbency. Let ns in the name of taste, and for the sake of dear old Georgia, have no more of sacb bitter personal squabbling, when all should be fraternity and great sooled devotion to the public good. It took Governor Smith’s great speeoh on Tuesday, to wipe out of every body’s mind tbe grease spot of the Y’sncy report A com- raittee of three were appointed by the chair, to wait on the Governor and invite him to be present and address the convention on such a topic end at such an bocr as be shonld choose. With this unpretending man’s usual disregard of formality and display, he came into the convention in few moments after the committee waited upon him snd for two hours addressed the convention amidst the profoundestattention of every man in the great concourse. You know that my experience of public men and public gatherings in Georgia, has not been limited, and that I mast have listened to many addresses in my life. 1 de clare to you that never in all that experience, has it been my good fortune to hear from any man in Georgia, so splendid an address on public affairs. From the very ground up, this speech was ss solid and symmetrical as a pyramid,and the universal verdict was, that the effort had never been surpassed in onr dev, and that it was the crowning achievement of Governor Smith’s life. The effect was truly marked and I might say unprecedented. I, myself, heard leading men say that they returned to tbeir homes now for tbe first time, full of hope for Georgia's future, aud that under Gover nor Smith’s lead and advocacy the agriculture of the State must be a success. There per vaded the whole mass of the convention and tbe community an impressible feeling of ela tion and confidence iu the foture.

This class seems to be utterly lost to the world of industry, and the hopes which some express of the effect of the education on these people to tbe speaker’s mind were utterly deceptive. Tbe negroes in Georgia who have been taught m schools seem to think all labor is a badge of slavery, and that freedom means the de lightful privilege of doing nothing at alL But if the number remaining who had the habits of labor impressed upon them by their early and former servitude could be made to comply with contracts fairly entered into, we might secure far better results for our an nual field labor. But this cannot be done. The negTo is not morally bound, aud how can you bind him legally when he has noth ing, and no suasion can prevail on him to lay up a dollar.

Nothing like repression for this vice can be regarded as ex treme by the true statesman, or indeed by the true philanthropist Man must work, must be forced to work, or he must die, and die a thousand deaths.
