Address JAMES VICK, Rochester, N. Y. EXTRACT FROM MR. ItlAL’S SPEECH. WHY A CONVENTION HliOULD BE CALLED. (On Wednesday of 'TSst week, Hon. B. H. Hill made a speech iu tho court-ho^fu lit LnOratigo. Wo have room to publish only a part of it. After nlludlGfc to tho good fooling provuillug throl^hout tho country, he prow sdod as follows:] Sal Now then, with tUjs universal good feeliug re stored, the question is: What shall we do? Wu must go to work my friends. There is a great deal to do; I cun tell you you are living in a very important ur«, You must give direction to events. There are some things that we ought to do, some things wo must do, if we are awake to our interest, and I therefore give you a lew opinions of mine, touuhing first on# Estate af fairs, aud theu touching our iiutiomd^Tairs. The tirst thing that we must do ulUf wo huve cultivated, this principle of clmrityr to whioh I have alluded, is this: Every people in a free,— in what we call popular government -have what they call a Fundamental Jaw. That Funda mental law ought to bo fixed, ought to be satis factory to the people ns far ila applies to all classes. "Your Legislature ^t its last session passed an act, authorizing the calling of a con vention to frame a constitution for the people. Yoa are, in votiug for delegates, also to say upon your ticket whether you are for, or agaiust a convention. If tho majority of tho people vote iu favor of a convention, it will be held, it they vote agaiust it, it will not be held, there fore it is au important question for you to deter mine, whether or not you will have the conven tion. I havo never discussed the question be fore, nor have I said much iu reference to it either iu public or private. However I say to you, I have very distinct opiuions upon the question as to what you ought to do, uud I will put it iu a very few brief words. Iu my honest opinion your honor, your manhood, your inter est, the very future peace aud prosperity of your {State, require that you should have a constitu tional convention. I think you will be derelict, if you fail to vote for it; I think you will regret it, though I doubt not you will vote honestly. Now lor a lew reusous for that. Tho first reasou I give you is this: A large portion ot cur pto- ple will not bo satisfied, until you do have one, and it is a bad stute of society always, if a large propoit.ou of the people are dissatisfied with their fundamental law. They ought to be satis fied. The agitation will continue in some form or other uutil the convention shall bo had. It is your interest, your very great interest, to settle this agitation, to stop it. You never cau stop it, except by the calling of a convention. Never, for that dissaiisiuctiou with the present uoustituliou extends to u large proportion ol our ver) best citizens, of our very best people, aud whether their reasons lor being dissutinficd are in your judgment reasonable or not the fact is the same, and your duty is the same. They are dUsalistied aud the ugitutiou will never cease uutil the convention shall he held. Thereioro you ought to hold it. Fellow citizens, there is a gre at deal to be re spected m this feeling o< dissatisfaction with our present fundamental law. I dou’t hesitate to say I do respect it. There is u great dissatis faction with this constitution because, at the time it was adopte l a very large proportion of our very best citizens, those who were Most in terested iu it were not allowed to take part iu it. Now I was born and raised among )OU, aud I allude to myself simply as au illustration. 1 was raiKed here. You kuow I was always u con servative ainu. Although the world have abused me, thauk God ! the people ol Troup count) have always stood by me, because you kuew me, I thiuk, I hope so, aud yet it is a lact, that I, who am deemed worthy by tho people, to hold a seat iu the highest council of the nation was not allowed to vote lor members of the conven tion that trained the constitution. Now what was the case with me was the case with thousands of the people of Georgia. Well now I put it to yon, and to every honest think ing man, is it uu»easouable—that a man should be^dissatisfiod aud uuw lliug to live under the fundamental law of his country, when every time that constitution is mentioned it reminds him, that ho himself, was branded by a foreign power as uuworthy to participate in it. He had no part in it, no voice in it, no lot in it. Now that is reasonable, and you will all agree to it. Theu again. This is not framed us the ex pression of the ruling will ot those who did make it, for they made it under dictation. They mad£ it under dictation from Washington city, and the will and dictation of powers at Washing ton oily was executed through the military uu- thoritilu situated iu your midst. So, in this free country our fundamental law is not the produot of the free will of the people living uuclerat, but is the direct product of the mili tary authorities iu your midst. So therefore about the preseut constitution; these reasons aloue are enough to dissatisfy many of our best peoplo of the country with it, aud I do not hes itate to say as far as I am cone*, rutd, and while I am as much of a philosopher as anybody, and willing to submit to what I can’t help; if I do what I cau help it, I would not like to live under a constitution that I did not have a right to make, aud I was excluded from having a baud in, and from which I was excluded because somebody outside the Slate deemed me un worthy. I want our people to have their own constitu tion—everybody feeling that he had a vote in sending these repsesentatives; that he took a part iu it. - Let me mention some few things. I think it exceedingly unfortuuate for the convention movement that so many men have a thousand little sohomes that they want to accomplish by tho new constitution. You ought to discuss general reasons alone, and olioosu your wisest meu to frame the constitutiou and details of it. But the couslitutiou under whioh we live de nounces the late war as a “rebellion." Iu terms it calls it so. I never feel that I’m a rebel, I don’t care what the outside world says about it. I kuow that we were not rebels. There is a little voice in* my heart which tells me I was no rebel, which I would not give for the opiuions of all the world beside. Therefore the outside world may call it a rebellion, but for God’s bake let us not so stigmatize ourselves in our own fun damental law. [Applause.] It is not manhood. I don’t waul to do it. It’s a dishonor to your dead. They didn’t die rebels. They died patri ots. [Applause.] I care not whom they have got with tifiam, I care not what physical power too strong fop them—braver arm was never wielded iu respouse to purer, and more honora ble motives than those that actuated the South ern people. [Applause.] But the idea that iu our very luudamental law of the constitution under whioh we live, we should stand presented to the world as traitors, requiring every mau to swear to it wheu lie takes afi oath to support it; that we should hand it dowu to posterity uud transmit this dishonor upon our dead, this in sult upou our living—dou’t you do it. Don’t you make auy such mistake. There arc other reasous why I would prefer a convention. I will not dwell upon them, they are many. I don’t like the dootriue of that oouslitution which declares, that the paramount allegiance of every Georgian is due to the Na tional Government. Now that is not true. I never was a secessionist, I uever wus an ullru man, bfit theu, gentlomen, (he principle of truth is the thing that wo ought to adhero lo. The Federal government within itself ns far as national affairs are concerned, is paramount un der tho constitutiou, and then the Stale govern ment within itself us far as State affairs are con cerned is equa'ly paramount. I said a thing last year in a speech which I have the gratificatio i to kuow has gono all over the North, ond even republicaus tell tno they are per fectly willing to acoept that doctrine. Hero it is: “Wo have a constitutional system in 'which we have a general government for general affairs,and a State government lor Stato affairs,and thus each government is perfect in its sphere. The Fed eral government lias its owu legislature, its ju diciary, and its exocutive departments, and therefore within! ts sphere it is a perfect govern ment. But equally tho State government has its legislative, its executive, aud its judicial power, and is therefore as equally perfectly within itH Sphere. Both governments are perfect." Each government is perfeot, as a government, iu its sphere. The general government within its powers delegated by the constitution, the Stato government within its reserved powers, both be ing governments, both making a complete gov ernment. Why? Because the State government oan not legislate as to our national affairs, uor the general government as to tho domestic affairs of the States. It takes both these governments to protect the citizen in all hi» rights aud relations, both exter nal and internal. Therefore we have one system in which we havo two governments, but these two goverumenta are equally independent, each of the other and neither is paramount above the other. Therefore the two governments act iu harmony together. Why should my brother Ferrell, for instance, set up that he is paramount over me? He is not. But at his owu home he is. I admit that he cau order me out of his house if he desires. I am nobody at bis bouse, except what he chooses, because be cau do what he pleases at his home—because be has more right aud power within his bailiwick than I have. I reokon when he comes to my home I am as big as he is. Neither is above the other, neither is paramount over ihe other, and neither has any right to be paramount. There are some men who have the idea that it we want to get rid of this fault iu tho constitution, we want to restore tbe doctrine of secession. I dou’t want to advocate that, I uever did do it. The system of our government is very perplex ing, but it is a beautiful system wheu once un derstood perfectly. Tho world uever saw a bet ter. All ol our troubles Imve originated from departures from tbe true character of our gov ernment, aud uever have auy of our troubles come from the strict observance of its .true char acter. Fellow-citizens, we havo been quiet long enough. Let us get up aud be men. What do you say? Well, some goutloraeu say that they ore afraid if the convention meets they will do something teiribly bad. Well, if you can’t trust the men you are willing to elect to frame a coustituiiou, you ha e made a bad admission. That is au admission that you are not able lo have a gov- ormueut ut all. Some sav that if a conven tion meets it will destroy the Homestead. Why, I tell you to-day, fellow-citizens, (aud I havo been talkiug to you since I was a boy, and i never told you «u untruth yet), I toll you both us a iuwyer, and us a man, that it is impossible for a convention to divest a vested right. No convention can destroy a homestead that has been vested. So you may rest easy on that. I have boeu over the State a good deal aud I thiuk the couveuliou will not destroy the homesleud. I think they will give the people a better and more permanent one tbau that. I am free to nay that I do trust that the day will soon come wheu it will be impossible for any power to turn our families out ol their houses. I am iu favor ol a homestead wisely ordered aud properly guarded, and lam iu favor of its coming dowu to children and to children’s children forever. I want to biud this people to this country, aud I waut to remove every inducement to their goiug away. I wan. each home filled with sacred memories, which will iuev.tably follow if every man feels that wheu he gets us home he cau keep it. Aud I believe this is the sentiment everywhere, and our country will never become us great as it ought otherwise. Wo have too much uncertain ty. Eucourago the people to stay at home. Eucourug# them, by letting them kuow when they have a home they cau keep it. It will be to them forever. The present homestead is almost destroyed by strictures auyhow. It to mo seems the people would not hesitate to fa vor a homestead that woul dstand. Why,auy hus band may now waive his wife’s homestead aud nobody cau help it. Auy husband, whether vagabond or not, cau waive his wife’s homestead in advance for anything. I have not been hav ing as much money as I ought to have lately,and lor tear I didn’t have enough I had to borrow a little money to get here. I stepped into a bank aud said I wanted ono hundred dollars. “How loug do you want it?" I was asked. “Uutil I come back irorn Troup court." I sigued up the note. Theu I read it and lbuud I had waived the homestead for my wife and children. [Laugh ter.] My conscience ! my homestead is goue lor a huudred dollars ! [Laughter.] Waived ! Well now, if you cuu't have a better homestead than that you had better quit—huve uoue at all. My fellow-citizens, I thiuk therefore, for, this aud many other reasons, you ought to have a convention. But there is another great reasou, and a very great one at that. Under the provis ions oi this present constitution,our expenses are euormous. Now,to tell you the truth,the actual expenses of the Georgia govermeut are simply disgraceful. Now I dou’t meau to he uukiud to anybody, but I do say here in my place, that the expenses of the Slate ol Georgiu at this time,are no more nor less than disgraceful. They are actually criminal, and you may talk as you please, you will never coirect it, uutil you have a convention. You cuii’t do it by little amendments to tbe constitution. Why, you have a senate up there with forty- four members, aud they have forty-two clerks. The house has fifty-six olerks. The clerk hire of the house aud senate—the legislature—when I was a member and some of you were members before the war was about $7,000. Aud yet now it i4 about $27,000. Now in that Bimplo little matter, the clerk, the messenger, aud door keep er hire at Atlanta the people of the country ue furnishing about $30,000 every year. I say it is tyraunical—it is wrong. Now I don't .complain so much of tho salaries; that is to proper officers. I dofi’t thiuk myseli, aud I Buy to you every one, that tho salaries ol the officers for the most part, ure not too high. There are some of them who get perquisites, in addition to the salaries, aud get too much. I thiuk it would be better to have the salaries better proportioned. Why ! bless my life, they pay a little clerk of the legislature a thousand dollars for forty days, wheu they pay a judge of the superior court, only $2,500 for a whole year's work. There’s whore mischief comes in. The State constitutiou was Adopted in what was called tho “Bullock administration.” Well Bullock was terribly extravagant aud we all 6aid it wus owing exclusively to Bullock. Why! bless tno, friends, tho presout government is iu many respects as extravagant as Bullock wus. Before tho war wo were all rich, wo felt rich, wo didn't mind taxes; and now we ure poor, (il you are not poor you are vory unfashionable.) [Laughter.] And yet these extravagant ex penses of our .Stato government are put upou us at a time when wo are least able to beur them. Ttiia policy 1s tho working at the wrong eudot tho rupo. A man is more uud more burdened, according oh he gets poorer, Why" you say “that won’t cure it." Well gentlemen if a set of intelligent men cuu’t go to Atlanta and traino a constitutiou that will prevent the legislature from this extravagance, it is unfortunate. But it can be done. It cuu bo remedied vory easily—very promptly, and that iu a few days. Now, I could say a great many things upou this subject, but it seems to me that tho rousons 1 havo mentioned are enough. There is a great reason why so mauy of our people are dissatisfied with the present constitution. Their dissatisfaction is reasonable. It is the dissatisfaction of reasonable meu, and you ought therefore to remove the disHutisfac- tion, by at least calling a convention and train ing a constitution and commanding quiet— as the lawyers Bay “quieting our title." Wed if the constitution don't suit you wheu it is framed, why, you can re[foi it. No harm done. Talk about tbe expenses of a convention ! Why the clerks’ hire in a single legislature will pay them. It will bo nothing. It will be a very small amount. They have only appropriated $25,000, aud the clerk’s hire tf the legislature was more than that. My owu opinion is that there is no necessity to have au annual session of the legis lature, and that you could have the membership of the legislature half what it is now, the ex penses half what they are, aud in that way you could get rid of three-fourths of the expenses that attend the administration ol the State of Georgia. At a time like this when the citizens are poor, I tell you gentlemen we ought to save it! We need an economical administration oi our State government, aud you can’t get it under the preseut constitution. We were iu the habit of saying before that wo had an extravaguut administration under Bul lock, because be was a Radical. Our meu huve tried it, and in many respects they did not cut it dowu. The best way in this world is to tell tUe truth, aye, tho houest truth about it. Bullock pui upou us a great big debt and he has two millions of bonds now that you nave to pay inter est ou that ought uever to have issued in the world. He had eight or ten millions more issued which wo repudia ed. and if he had held ou a while longer the Lord only kuows what he would have done. Well, we are rid oi that any way. Notwithstanding the expeuses, tho trou bles we havo had, we have got a good country yet. The skies are just as bright as they used to be. They were where the enemy could never reach them thank God ! The soil is the same as it used to be. They did everything else but they could not carry tbe land with them. Wo have got the same geuial climate. When the water comes bubbling from the earth it is the same sparkling limpid water we used to drink. So God has giveu us a country, the brightest and the must beautiful, and we still have it, and no enemy has taken nor can take it away from us. Let us have an honest government. Let us have a con stitution that satisfies our people. Let us have au economical administration of our govern ment. Let us curtail our expenses, public and private, aud begin to build up from tho jump, and wheu wo get rich, aR our children will be, wu will yet be the greatest peoplo upou tho earth.
