mv bran spu,n-uew streaxed • , , ,■ fi-ppitinpu’q hiu-nan. TTo ro-
tect him in all his rights to property, lib
erty and happiness.”
Some pleasantry arose as to the cap
ture of Col. Fannin, by the Union forces
and his treatment by Col LaGrange. Col.
Fannin skid that on the occasion of the.
passage of the Union army through hi3
vicinity, the freedmen on his place hid
l.is stock and took care of all his valua
bles, thus demonstrating their attachment.
Judge Bigham said he had a man, rais
ed with him, who was working away
from home, and who* knowing he was
away, upon hearing of tlu). approach of
Gen. Wilson, went two hundred miles by
rail, home, to be with his family and as
sist them; that he was intelligent, could
road and write, but consulted him upon
all that concerned liis welfare, since he
was free; and treated him with the utmost
kindness, deference and consideration.—
He reciprocated h:s attachment, and as a
general thing the attachment between
freedmen and their former owners was
touching to contemplate.
Tiie Georgians were very much pleased
with their interview with Secretary Har
lan, who also expressed gratification.
They went next to the Department of
Agriculture, where they had an agreea
ble interview with Hon. Isaac Newton,
and perfected arrangements for the dis
tribution of seed, to the people of their
State.
Mr. Newton playfully remarked tiiat if
it was left to him and tlie agriculturalists
of the country, the work of reorganiza
tion would soon be perfected.
It was replied that the interchange of
such civilities and mark of care for the
good of the people, as emanated from his
departin', nt would have great influence.—
One of the gentlemen said, “You will
have to send the tidies some nice pres
ents, for they were, many of them, the
most uncompromising rebels we had.”
“Yes,” said he “and they, will lead you
all in trie path of duty, too, and set you a
good example of love to the Union of their
fathers. At all events, leave ’ me the
names of some of the fair daughters of
Georgia, and 1 will send lln-in some
choice varieties of garden and llowerseed.
We are expecting a large order from Eu
rope in a few days, aud will remember
them when it arrives.”
Thus the Georgians had a»good time of
it, and another link was wielded in the
chain of reorganizing patriotism.

in most cases they were. In this opinion
Jud"-e Bigham expressed his concurrence,

The Virginia and Kentucky Reso-
lufioius of I7ff8i
which have so long served as texts to the
Democratic party of the United States,
and which are now reasserted by the de-
inoeracy of Ohio the New York Neves
says:
The origin of these resolutions will as
sist us in understanding their meaning.—
Fiorn the 4tii of March, 1797, to the -itli of
March', 1801, John Adams, with great.tal-
ents, wielded the Presidential power.—
His ability and experience enabled him
to foist into, the administration many
gross perversions of our system. Dur
ing his administration he was opposed by
Southern States chiefly because of his in
fractions of the Constitution in the use of
“war powers.” He claimed powers for
the Federal Government which the jealous
partisans of the South would not concede.
Those who led the opposition to John Ad
ams w.ere intrenched behind thc residua
ry powers secured by tiie Constitution —
Tiiey declared then, as the Ohio Democra
cy declare now-, that these residuary pow
ers were intended to prevent the estab
lishment of a consolidated instead of a
Federal Government. Thereupon the Vir
ginia Legislature in 1798 passed resolu
tions condemning the alien and sedition
laws, and other measures calculated to
makefile federation a nationality Plant
ing themselves on a “plain sense and in
tention” of the Constitution; and holding
it lo be a compact among equals, they
declared that in case of'a deliberate, pal
pable and dangerous exercise, of powers
not granted, the States should interpose
and “maintain within their respective lim
its the authorities, rights and liberties ap
pertaining, to them.” The Kentucky res
olutions were even more emphatic. They
allowed to the State—to “each party an
equal right to judge for itself, as well ot
the infractions as the mode and measnre ’
of redress.” These are the troths con
cerning onr policy, upheld by the fathers
of democracy, Madison and Jefferson.—
They are sufficient for onr salvation. The
Ohio democracy have blazoned them on fts
baLner. They stand, therefore, as a bea
con to all other Spates and all other de
mocracies. They are the only guarrantee
for our future ^content and peace. Con
solidation will bring only- discontent to
the people ai*d again embroil the States.
Whether the question be tariff, excise or
taxing of stocks; whether slavery be ig
nored or not (for slavery is not now the
“dangerous element,”) these elemental
principles must rule, or the alternative
will be*ruin and chaos.
In his late speech before the Massachu
setts State Convention, Gen. Butler took
the ground that the “ South has forfeited
its political rights.” When he was in N.
Orleans he took the ground that the peo
ple uf the South had forfeited their silver
spoons—and it was afterward found tc
he true. There is ground for hope thar
the “ rights” (not being convertible) are
more likely to be returned than the silver
ware. - - .
