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.
