ATLANTA, GA.,:::::::DECEMBER 10.
FOUR O’CLOCK, P. M.
SEOBOIA STATE CONVENTION.
SECOND DAY.
Col. J. R. Parrott.—The election of
this able and patriotic gentleman to the
position of President of their body, reflects
credit upon the members thereof and gives
promise of an liarmenioas and highly
creditable session. Col. Parrott has never
been an extremist. He is a man of fine
attainments; is a native of an adjoining
Southern State, and is thoroughly identi
fied with Georgia.
Secretary of the Convention.—It will
lie seen from our report of the proceedings
this morning, that Mr. P. M. Sheibley, of
Rome, has been elected to this important
office.
Mr. S. is eminently fitted to the position;
and we congratulate the members upon a
selection by which they have demonstrated
their appreciation of true merit.
Relief!—This is one of the most impor
tant questions that will be brought before
the Convention. The right of a primary
IkmIv to act upon the question, In some
way, is admitted, and the demands of the
people will have to be considered. We
learn that several measures looking to Re
lief will be presented at an early day, but
of their nature little has transpired. De
velopments will be looked for anxiously
ami speedy action expected. We publish
a communication this evening on the
subject, to which we invite attention.
In considering propositions for Relief,
delegates should bear in mind a clause in
the Federal Constitution, made, it would
seetn. with special reference to the weak
ness of fallen humrnity, and designed to
forestall revolutionary measures, such as
are ever agitated in times like these.—
Whilst it has been customary in all coun
tries to provide some measure of Relief af
ter the ulose of protracted and exausting
civil wars, these measures should not be
such as to destroy public faith, and thereby
break down the barriers to Anarchy. It
is a question of the greatest delicacy, and
should be adjusted with a view not only to
present emergencies, but so as not to de
stroy confidence in the future.
- Wiiat is It.”—We have been asked,
What is the platform of the Macon Con
vention ? We confess, frankly, that we
don't know. We have been unable to see
anybody who did know; and we have some
doubt as to whether the Convention itself,
or the delegates thereto, know.
They don't know, because they don't know
yet tchat the State Constitutional Conven
tion is going to do. They will oppose
whatever that body proposes—no matter
what. And uut’u something is proposed
there will be nothing to oppose. Hence
they arc in ignorance, yet, of their own
platform. They might have proposed
something; we believe some “respectable
white man” did propose something, but it
was voted down; it was bad policy—bad
l*oliey—because that very something might
Ih» identical with the something to be done
by the Constitutional Convention. Hence,
they have no policy but opposition; no plat
form except opposition—opposition to eve
rything which does not originate with
themselves; opposition to every bod}', who
either cannot or will not pin their political
faith to defhnct leaders, and sing peans to
obsolete theories. They seem to be a party
of leaders without followers; an organiza
tion without any specific object, and they
have a platform without Principles.
Taxation*.—If the wisdom of the Con
vention, now in session, can devise some
plan by which the assessment and collec
tion of taxes can be cheapened, that body
will deserve the thanks of the people of
the State for all time to come. An old plan
ter remarked in our hearing, the other day,
that it required an expenditure of fourdol-
lars to get one into the treasury! This is
too. nearly true, and it is also a fact that
there are many who think a great deal of
the machinery of our revenue system can
be dispensed with. We hope some ,of the
Delegates will look into the matter, and at
least lay the result of his investigations
before the Convention.

Star,” a l>eautiful ballad; words by* B. F.

Z3T Lieut. General Sherman arrived in
Washington on the 7th, and accompanied
by General Grant called upon the Presi
dent and the three were closeted together
a considerable length of time. It is under
stood that General Sherman will write up
the report of the Indian Commission, and
that his business is entirely in relation to
tliis matter.
• Cutting it Fat.—The published pro
ceedings of the Macon Convention report
the names of seventeen gentlemen as being
present and having registered there as
delegates from Jasper county. Gentlemen
from that county inform us that but two
were present—Messrs. Broddus and Prit
chett. Were the other delegations made
up the same way ?
Atlanta, Dec. 11,1867.
The Convention met pursuant to ad
journment, Judge James L. Dunuing, in
the chair. After calling the Convention to
order, Judge D. referred to the action of
the Convention on the first day, in choos
ing th^Oon. Foster Blodgett temporary
chairman, and in consequence of the ab
sence of that gentleman, and that he—Mr
D.—had been honored py being called to
the position. This morning Mr. Blodgett
was present, and entertaining the highest
respect for that gentleman, and for the
individual members of the Convention, he
said he should vacate the honorable posi
tion to which he was so unexpectedly
called, and invited Mr. Blodgett to the
chair, who, after accepting the invitation
proceeded to address the delegates as fol
lows:
Gentlemen of the Convention:
I am profoundly sensible of the honor
conferred on me, in being chosen to pre
side temporarily over your body at this
conjuncture of public affairs.
A new era has dawned upon the country.
This great Republic has risen to the full
grandeur of its position, and promises to
fiilfill its glorious destiny. The principles
of the Declaration of Independence have,
at length, been vindicated; no longer are
they obscured, in one half of the Union,
by the existence of an institution whicli
was a reproach alike to freedom and to civ
ilization. It is now recognized as a great
practical, as well as theoretical truth,
nhroughout the wide extent of our coun
try, that “all men are created equal—that
they are endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable rights—that among
these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness.” The morning sun. as it rises
in t.ne east, gilds the flag of Freedom ; and
as it descends beneath the waves of the Pa
cific, it sheds Its splendor upon shores
where institutions are seated that promise
to spread the priceless blessings of regula
ted liberty over the distant nations that
have so long dwelt apart from modern civ
ilization.
It is to be regretted that so many of our
countrymen, who have grown up under a
system which subjected a part of our peo
ple to hard and degrading bondage, are
slow to comprehend and to acknowledge
this great fact. They cling to the ruins of
a structure that now belongs to the past.
They are under the dominion of ideas that
no longer are represented in this country;
ideas that are fast disappearing from the
civilized world. Tne great struggle
through which the country has just passed
was the natural, and may be the necessary
result ot the advance of the republic in the
career of civilization. It was simply im
possible much longer to resist the pressure
of the public sentiment of the world
against the domestic institution of the
Southern States of the American Union.
Those who controlled affairs at the South
precipitated the result by a vain effort to
wrest these plantation States from the
Union—an effort that involved in its fail
ure the complete overthrow of that mon
strous system which held millions of hu
man beings in a bondage that it required a
national convulsion to destroy.
To-day, the Republic is free! The Con
vention is a splendid exemplification of
the fact. Gentlemen, I tender you my con
gratulations. The whole civilized world
greets you, to-day, assembled as the Rep
resentatives of the people of the free State
of Georgia.
Before entering upon your duties, allow
me to make a few suggestions in regard to
the state of this great Commonwealth for
which you are about to frame organic laws.
You are about to adjust the relations of
the State to other States, so that it may pre
sently be restored to the Union—redeemed,
regenerated, and disenthralled, by the
spirit of Universal emancipation—never
again to shoot madly from its orbit, but to
move in harmony with the other States
that compose our Republic, through all the
coming changes,
The first subject will engage your atten
tion, is one of great moment. The questions
which belong to what may be called the
science of Political Economy, are always
surrounded with difficulties. To provide
for the wants of a great community; to
regulate the suppiy and demand for the
people of a State; to frame measures of
legislation so as to relieve the pressing
wants of the agricultural and commeicial
classes, so as to render them at the same
time safe and beneficent, requires wisdom
and a large acquaintance with the wants of
society, even in the midst of ordinary cir
cumstances. But especially at this time
when the people of Georgia have undergone
aseries of trying events, it is a difficult task
to agree upon plans for their relief. Relit]
must be had. The whole condition oi
things is changed. A wealthy agricultural
people, who lately enjoyed the highest
prosperity, are now reduced to a condition
of comparative poverty. The system of
domestic industry has undergone a com
plete change. Many who lately enjoyed
affluence, who had invested their capi
tal in lands, and who controlled at
the same time the labor that made
then yield their most valuable products,
find themselves, to-day, unable to meet the
oblications incurred in days of prosperity.
Some of that class of our people cheerfully
undertook to conduct plantations under
the new order of things, so as to meet all
the claims upon them faithfully, fairly and
honestly. But they have not met the* suc
cess they anticipated. The low price of cot
ton has not enabled them to meet their en
gagements.
They are oppressed with debts that they
find it impossible at this time to discharge.
Agriculture is the source of all wealth.
When itjprospers, all the demands of wealth
abound; \\ hen it languishes, every interest
in the country shares the depression. The
commercial condition of our people is as
much depressed to-day as the agricultural.
Our merchants were hopeful, and they
purchased goods with the reasonable ex
pectation of supplying the wants of the
planters and others, to the advantage of all
parties. They are enterprising, energetic
men, and deserve to succeed. But we wit
ness the extraordinary spectacle of a gen
eral depression in all departments of busi
ness, at a time when a large cotton crop
in the market. I shall not undertake to
enter upon a discussion of the causes that
have produced this state of tilings—i only
wish to bring to your attention the fact
that the condition of our people, of all
classes, demands from this body some
measure of relief. Your wisdom will
doubtless enable yon to provide the means
for the accomplishment of these objects.—
,1 must not take leave of this subject with
out expressing my own settled conviction,
that nothing can be done to restore real
prosperity until the plan of reconsrtuction
is accomplished, and this great Common
wealth once more takes its place in the
Union and seeks protection under the aegis
of the Republic. Then will capital flow
into our midst; then will our population
increase; then will tbe channels of com
merce be opened, and wealth will roll
through them. Let us hope the day is not
distant when we shall witness that glorious
consummation.
It is propers too, gentlemen, that you
•hoftld direct your attention to the prepar
ation of the means to secure, for all classes For thcOpinion.[
of our people, the benefits of Educatyixf
This is essential to our happiness and
prosperity. You cannot be too liberal in
devising the plans to secure the existence
of Common Schools throughout the State.
The waters of life should be open to all.
It was estimated, some few years since,
that the State of Massachusetts alone ex
pended more money for the promotion of
education than the British Empire. The
world has the result of that wise outlay.—
Never was there an investment that re
paid so richly. Not only have the people
been enlightened, but the State has been
enriched. Devise liberally, gentlemen.
Mature a system so comprehensive as to
embrace all our people, and lay the foun
dations deep to support it.
Nor should you overlook the wants of
the scholar in the higher departments of
learning. The University and the Com
mon School help each other. There need
be no rivalry between them. There is a
generous sympathy between scholars of
every degree. Science requires the exist
ence of these establishments where years
are devoted to the study of its several
branches. But. first and* foremost, take
care to secure the continued existence of
your Common Schools, from the mountains
to the seaboard.
In all that we do here, gentlemen, let us
remember that we owe a duty to our coun
try, to ourselves, and to Christian civiliza
tion. The task upon which we are about to
enter is a noble one. We enter upon it, I
trust, in the right spirit. Webring no re
sentments with us. We have no wrongs
to avenge—no enemies to punish. Friends
of the human race, we shall seek to lay the
foundations of a structure which shall at
test that we are not unworthy to frame the
organic law of Georgia, whose motto is.
Wisdom, Justice, Moderation. We shall
hope to be guided by Him who rules the
Universe, and who, while He preserves the
planets in their sweep through the vast re
gions of space, cares even for the sparrow
that seeks its food from Ills hand, in the
winter's storm.
Some have assailed us with taunts and
jeers; others greet us \\ ith cheering smiles,
it is too true that some of those who were
most active in bringing upon the country
the troubles from which it is just emerg
ing, have not been able to take a compre
hensive view of the present state of public
affairs; they cannot emancipate themselves
from their prejudices. But we cannot stay
to quarrel with such men. They may stand
and rail at us, and strive to distract us
from our patriotic labors; but we are en
gaged in a great work, and cannot go down
to them—we are building up the walls of
a great State.
Some have expressed apprehension of a
war between the races that inhabit these
Southern States. We do not share their
anxiety. We are living under a Christian
civilization that breathes its benificent
counsels into our hearts. It is all impor
tant that the two races shall live in har
mony. and go on in a career of happiness
and prosperity, side by side. There must
be no conflict between capital and labor.
The land-owners and the laborers should
be friends. They must strive to advance
the interests of each other. Let no pro
scriptive spirit sway our counsels, or dic
tate our measures. We must he wise—we
must be just—we must let our moderation
be seen in all that we de.
Gentlemen, I wfill no 1 mger detain you
from your duties. Citizens of a great State,
we seek to restore its relations to the Union.
It will henceforth be a Free State—it will
forever be a member of the American
Union.
On motion a call of the list of delegates
was ordered. Present 155.
Mr.CAMPBELL offered resolutions pro
viding that citizens retire without Che bar;
that the Convention proceed to elect a per
manent chairman by ballot, and that as
pirants be requested to announce their
views on the question of Relief.
Belief.
Aa-tlie State Constitutional Convention
has fcisembled ed, is it not proper that the
great question of Relief for the People
should be impressed upon their minds ? The
country is now in almost breathless sus
pense, awaiting the action of that august
body upon this subject. Every day
demonstrates more clearly the im
portance of. early legislation — the
modern Shylocks are pouncing npon
their unfortunate debtors, and trying
to force to sale, under the sheriff’s hammer,
the last foot of land or dollars worth of
provisions, to satisfy their craving, avari
cious appetites.
It is too well known, as a general thing,
tliat this is being done by the very men
who, by their influence, brought on our
late and disastrous war, and then were too
cowardly to fight it, but remained at home,
speculating and extortioning upon the ne
cessities of the poor soldiers’ familes, and
workig all manner of schemes to get them
in debt and to keep them so if already in
debt, by refusing to accept the currency
they had made for their demands.
Now as the “stay at home men” made the
war, or at least had more to do with its
being made; done less for it than any other
class, and are now trying their utmost to
bankrupt the country by levying and cell
ing by the sheriffs what little has
been left from the wreck to satisfy debts
based upon slaves and Confederate
money, (I have no doubt but that is the
basis of nine-tenths of the indebtedness,)
and the people at the late election, having
fully indorsed and demanded relief, should
we not have it, and that amply ? The peo
ple of Georgia expect that the delegates
will not be frightened off by the whining
of this class, crying out unconstitutional,
but come square up to the work. "\Ve are
fully apprised that the Constitution of the
United States forbids the[passage of expost
facto laws by the States, but it has no re
ference to Territories—and the very laws
that the Convention is held under makes
Georgia a Territory—there is no impedi
ment in the way. Let the Convention
settle the old debts outright. The people
will sustain it when submitted to them.—
They are clamorous for it. The Bankrupt
Law they are averse to. It only strips
them of their property and pays no debts.
There is do question about their constitu
tional rights in a territorial capacity to
give relief. The country demands it—the
working class of the people demand it—the
widows and orphans of our gallant dead
demand it; and it is earnestly and anx
iously expected by the masses; and to the
wisdom and patriotism of the Convention
to adopt such a mode of relief as in their
judgment will meet the approval of the
people, this matter is referred, and when
done all nature will again wear a cheerful
smile, new energy will spring up all over
the land, and Georgia, our once proud and
happy State, will rise, Phoenix like, and
peace, prosperity and happiness will be
ours. Yours truly. Soldier.
