Cbargs to-til* Grand Jury ofCxPlomi County.
In renewing our official relations upon a^new -or
der of things, and after the happening of tFe mighty
events which control oundentiny, it wiU not be in-
appropriate to take a brief survey of our situation,
and the part we have to perform. The want of civ
il government—of moils—of public speaking, and* a
comparative want of newspapers; 'havfc obstructed
the usual avenues of communicstion v aod prevented
that interchange of thought and opinion so necessa
ry tb correct conclusions. J7e find ourselves after
a protracted bloody arfd desolating waif, a defeat'd
people reduced almost t<*poverty. Beside the im
mense amounts in ConftdpEgtg investments volun-
tartly made, or otherwise;^LaVte’ lost* the entire
capital in four millions o£sla*eW.'*'Whether this ca
lamity could Umc been.avoided, there is a conflict,
and variet} of opinion, the gift of foresight has
not bees given by God to man, so liis judgment is
as good before* as liis knowledge Is after an event.
There ars, however, a few facts which can produce
no controversy. These are that a vast majority of
the people of the United States were fixed in their
judgment against us upgft tim pubiccl of slavery,
and-determined upoQrits.abmfftqn a* the -first prac
tical moment—that (lie people of* the slaveholding
States (although differing as to'the time when).wera
determined to vindicate their right-to hold slaves
as property—that from the.tone and temper nf both
flections a collision at some’ time was iiieditable.—
From these follow the concloaion, that the act of
the Southern people merely hastened *»'conflict'
which the 44 logio of events" rendered certain.—
The result of such a conflict could not.at any time
be at all doubtful, as it has bepn demonstrated in
the most solemn manner^ lEskLupom the slavery
question, the powers of the whole Christian world
were against us. Their refusal to recognize ns af
ter two years of successful war against -groat odds,
a war lasting-as long as fhc Crimean, their refusal
to follow the precedents set by themselves in ths r
‘ the independence of other revotylioi
ones stain in battle; or of those who survive,
with mangled forms. AW there oire those who will
noij^e.oomforied, particularly war noble country
women, who feel more iidensely and heartfully than
men.’ Nevertheless,*such will act the part of good
oitisens, and yield to peace and loyalty, all but the
tribute’which nature’s ties both demand and yield.
Wt art now living toward* the close of tbs 19tU
century. ITe are not the only Christian psople
whom misfortune has ovsrtaken: Otrr English an
cestors have endured greater suffering* Yet the do-
sceniants of the Saxon and the Norman, of tho Fa«
rltan and Cavalier, of the adherents of the house of
Stnart, and the followers of William and Mary, af
ter fighting, valorously against each other 'al tho
different epochs of their journey’s history, stood
side by side, end shared tho glories of Blenbein
end Waterloo. From the Chaos of so many revolu
tions, and so mauy years of civil *pr, has emeript?
s uaiiyn which has stood firm and unchanged for-lP 0 ^’

We, iho immediate descendants of the patriots of

bom in, hnd to which, by oath, Wc have'jrcnewed
oar allegiance, to make tho very best we can out of
‘ unprecedented condition of the nation. We tifey
ire otherwise, b.ut that can avail nothing. That
very wise'and good man, Edmund Btfrke, who has
44 left oo oarth no blot on his name," and whose
speeches and writings have grown info political
maxims, says: ** A man full of w&rm speculative
benevolence may wish society otherwise constituted
than he finds it; but a good patriot and a true po
litician always considers how .he shall make-the
most of the existing materials of the country. A
disposition to preserve and an ability to improve
taken together aould be my standard of a states
man.’ Everything else is vulgar in the conception
and perilous In the execution."
True statesmanship requires the eoneenstratioo
in one'man, ora few men, that political wisdom
which tho masses ought to possess* Then, each and
every one of us, ln s this emergency, must not act
from choice—from passion, or from a' selfish inter
est, but us wise and honest statesmen, who will do
all we can for our country, out of her 4 existing ma
terials.*
The inevitable result of emancipation is the sub
stitution. of free, for slave labor, and the freemen
who have tt> be employed in the production of
Southern staples, are those who have just escaped
from a state of bondage.* This to our people,, is a
new and untried field. The experiments made else
where, are discouraging in the extreme. All intel
ligent men know that in Jamaica—in the Guianaa
—in New Granada, the products of thocountry have
been sadly reduced since the change, end the own
ers of ths soil are seeking to find reliable laborers
among the coolies, brought from a distance of thoa*
sands of miles, over a vast 44 expanse of waters,”
which they fail to find in the former .African slave
at their very door. These being tacts, candor com
pels their admission. Notwithstanding our people
should not suffer themselves to be discouraged, bat
emancipation of the slave, bat upon investing him -
fX the same time with the right to jrote. Tho ftffil
that one is free, dees net necessarily secure, re him'

oar Represent stives to their Mats in the National
Congress, in December next. As. wo will then be
situated, being subject to the pleasure of the loyal
State#, we can only remonstrate* against the inflie-1
tion. If intended as a governmental policy, the
emanation of true Statesmanship, common justice
and consistency would require that aQthe States,
who did not tolerate slavery, should first extend free
m-nt for secession, executed in a .spirit of
revenge,* it tV<nil<n>e remembered that 14 revenge is .

the payment of a debt in Pennsylvania. *Thns it

gous. On instituting a comparisonit will be found:
First, That slavery in the Southern United States,
was very different from Uut Twhich. existed In the
West Itulies and the Spanish Main. There, tLc slave
was almost entirely a creature of interest* No at
tention was paid to his moral or religious training.
No effort was. mdde’to preserve the heutih of the
ybnng and the old, that they might descend to the*
cbildrcn of their owners, aud be perpetuated in the
'family. No regard was paitLto keeping up an equi
librium between male and female. To get &1T the
labor possible, within the shortest time, regardless
of consequences, was the policy -of tropical plaaterf.
The slave* was seldom, if ever,, regarded as in the
purview of the tfomytic relations. Hence there
was little or no affeCTion between master and slavf.
Their situations were strictly antagonistic. If Was
this condition of things that horrified the world,
and procured first; the abolition of the slaro trade,
and then emancipation. Here, the converse of #11
these propositions was almort-nnlvertal. The effect
is, that our former slaves are more intelligent, mo
ral and religious, and thcre.is a bond of affection
between thorn and their former masters, which will
never be entirely severed. And in view of this lat-x
ter, tbe.jn**ter should not entertain feelings of hos
tility against tho forjaer slave, if he seemingly, one
time treats him with ingratitude and then repents.
8ocoqiL The emancipated slave's of tho regions re
ferred to; resided upon a soil which yielded sponta
neously, the fruits of the earth in sufficient abun
dance, to hustain life.without labor.- Here they
must work or starve.
Third. The products of thoqe soils which required
labor, were virtually, luxuries, while the cotton of
the South U a strict necessity, and of a quality,*
which experience has demonstrated, cannot be rais
ed elsewhere. This makes it to the interest’ ef all
Geveraments; and especially that of the United
States, 10 put forth.every energy and use every fair
means to secure its successful cultivation.
Fourth. They .were io distant colonies, faraway
from the 4 * Hqme Government,” while ours are all
upon the main hfad,*nd immediately under the eye
of the Cfevernment, both State and national.
Fifth. *THerv. the Mack and * colored population
vitally outnumbered the*Eeropean—here the reverse
is the truth. There the-frorts of winter never puri
fied atmosphere, dpadly malarious, and a« a con
sequence prostrating the euergie# of nun—here we
have ati lnexhange* of seasons,, and a salubrious
eliroate'running through twelve degrees ol North
latitude. '
These ars soraeof tbs difference* between ns and
rty purposes.- It
to them, that the employer ofouehon* -
dred negro voters 'upon- ^ plantation, will likslff
have as much iafinsnes opoa bis opsratives, as tho
Lowell manufacturer fiaa upon his. A majority of
Cosgrcs* can certainly not become so demented, at
to confound suffrage .with freedo-n, and to forget
that this I# the eountry of the white man, while A£
rica is that of- ths negro. However.it cannot *bo *’
expected that reason can prevail against fanaticism "
in tho forum of the fanatic. There must be an appeal ?
to the patriotism, honor, and good sense of oil men,
of all parties, in all section# of the Union, Old party
issues arc dead. The war has settled there shall be
no more involuntary servitude,-awd.-go mors .seces
sion. Tho debt of the Government will require"*-" 5
troversy now about tho Independent Treasure ,
.National Bank. There must bo aporty based apon
the issues of the day, led by wise and patriotic men.
The leading idea should-be-a terwpnfous regard for ,
the Constitutibn v particnlarly for the rights of theT*
States, that there may.be no mors disaffection, no
which mq'y bo considered certain: One Is, there
be no trursekeop cotton—ths other is, the soil rs-
maina ta as. Whoever succeeds in rairing tho for
