FREE SPEECH.
If an; one doubt* that free speech Is
allowed in Georgia—or if our Northern
trieodi suppose that the Reconstruction
Convention is composed of delegates elected
by loyal votes exclusively, we commend to
them a careful perusal of the speech de
livered in the “Georgia Unconstitutional
Radical Nigger Convention” (a* our Con
servo/ire Literatures style it) on Friday last,
by the Hon. Mr. Waddell, of Polk county:
*Mr President—lt was not my intention
to trouble the Convention with a single
word upon the subject immediately before
us; I and should not now, but for some re
marks which fell from the delegate from
Richmond (Mr. Bryant). He complained
because allusion had been made to the fact
that some of tkptoHspichous delegates to this
Convention -those oftenest on the floor—
were recent residents of Georgia, und
intimated that in consequence of that fact
a prejudice was endeavored to be kindled
against those delegates of Northern birth.
I have tat in this Convention nearly forty
days, and 1 appeal to those around' me to
know if twenty ill-natured flings have not
been made at Georgians where one even
respectful allusion has been ma c to New
Englanders.
Four-fifths of the white people of Geor
fia were rebels, “so called.” and not a day
as been suffered to pass when those “reb
els” have not been denounced, in some
shape or form, by those who have assumed
the task of "ingrafting upon the stock of
Georgia ignorance New England ideas and
New England civilization.” They seem to
hare an intense loathing for those who bore
part in the straggle for liberty—they de-
Donnce them as rebels and traitors No
terms of reproach are rigorous enough to
characterize them by—no punishment is
severe enough to inflict upon them. tYheu
wo tell them we have surrendered in good
faith—we have laid down our arms upon
the honor of soldiers—we have abandoned
what they call the “heresy of secession”—
henceforth we mean to stand by the Union
under the Constitution—it is all to no pur
pose, all without avail. They are i.ot con
tent. They are greedy for the ponmi of
flesh ; nothing short of onr ruin, degrada
tion, eternal disgrace, will appease or
satisfy them.
Now, sir. I have borne vituperation long
•nongh. lam not ashamed of my record.
There never was a moment since the
date of my political accountability, when I
was not true to the great principles of
popular liberty as laid down iu the Consti
tution of the United States. It was pre
cisely because I conceived that that Consti
tution was practicably overthrown, that its
principles were in jeopardy, that its spirit
and essence were violated by the election
to the office of President of the United
States of a sectional candidate npon a
sectional platform, that I espoused the
cause of Georgia. Through her sovereign
voice she commanded me to avouch my
ballot with my sword. I bowed to her
high mandate. Georgia made me a citizen
of the United States. I conceived she had
the right to absolve my citizenship She
commanded me to defend her; the Federal
Government commanded me to crush her.
I could not obey both masters. 1 elected
without hesitation in obedience to the in
stincts of my nature, to stand by Georgia
—the home of my childhood and man
hood ; tbo graves of my neighbors and
friends; the altars of my kindred; the
honored ashes of him whose name I bear.
Os whom then shall Ibe afraid ? Os what
shall I be ashamed ? Let me here speak
one word for myself alone, and if my voice
conld reach to the ntteimost boundary of
creation, creation should hear the declara
tion. To-day, poor as I am, I wontd not
exchange the memory of the part I boro,
humble as that part was, in the noble strug
gle of Georgia to be free, for the crown of
the Bourbon lost. I would not exchange
the memory of my poor part at Manassas,
Gettysburg, and Cbickamanga, and a
dozen other proud bnt melancholy fields
for the best hope I have. If I erred, it was
on the side of my State and my section,
an error, if one it be, that stands recorded
in Heaven's Chancery upon mercy’s page.
I erred too in company with the best, the
brightest, and the bravest of my State. I
erred with men whose names are garnered
np in ber heart, wboee valor shed unfading
lostre npon her arms, whose fame is among
the jewels of her crown, and over whose
hero dost her most precious tears have
been shed.
Mr Baldwin here interrupted by iu
qniring whether Mr. Waddell still held to
tecession ?
Mr. Waddell—Secession was settled by the
war. I accepted the result. When I sur
rendered my sword I surrendered that doc
trine. I surrendered to General Grant, who
is a man of honor, aDd has kept his pledge
I have kept, and mean to keep mine. Would
that I could say as much lor some ol his
supporters here. Jdy honor was pledged,
and that is unstained. But I will not sit
sileDtly by and hear the memory of those
who perished, in the effort to make secession
glorious, calumniated. Those Christian he
roes, Tom Cobb and Stonewall Jackson,
who baptized your cause and mine, Mr.
President, in their blood—who sacrificed life
in maintaining it—over whose graves glory
weeps—they are denounced by a party on
this floor as traitors to the country, while
Bntler, the beast, who incited a ruffian sol
diery at New Orleans to violate defenceless
females—who went there a bankrupt in for
tune, as he is now a bankrupt in fame—who
grew rich by plunder, robbery, rapine and
theft—he is now a patriot I Put me down
among the traitors I
REPUBLICANISM.
The New York Tribune says that the
Republican victory in the election of Gen.
Beatty to Congress from the Eighth Con
gressional District of Ohio, by a majority
eight times greater than that by which
the district was carried last fall, indicates
that the people of Ohio, and of the country
generally, are rapidly getting over what
ever distrust they may have felt in the
wisdom of the Congressional policy of re
construction. During the campaign of last
fall the reactionists and repiidiators charged
onr lines with great persistence and vigor,
and carried here and there an exposed
point. They did not succeed, however, in
driving us from any important position*
either of power or of principle, and in the
great Presidential campaign which is now
approaching, they will find us well en
trenched, our whole army in hand, all our
reinforcements available, and our victory
virtually organised and secured before the
contest is begun. The moment the actual
reconstruction of the Southern States begins
to be consummated, as it now soon will be,
by the admission of the representatives of
certain of those States to Congress, the re
construction question will be visibly solved,
and tb« very occupation of the Democratic
party win b* gone. The financial vagaries
of the Pendleton school of destructionists
are short lived. Their absurdity has been so
repeatedly demonstrated that they hardly
form a baaie for a platform sufficiently re.
epectable to be beaten upon, still less for
success.
Every indication confirms our prediction
made last Fall, that the so-called “reaction”
would spend its force in a single effort, and
that the absurd hope that the people of this
country would surrender their destinies into
the hands of traitors and repudiaters, was
doomed to be happily aud signally disap
pointed. Let New Hampshire echo the re
sponse of Ohio.

The Decease of Alderman Pennibacker—
ihe Parson Indulges in Appropriate Re
flections.
Post Orris, Comfedkit X Roads, )
(wich is in the Stait uv Kentucky) >■
January 25, 1868. j
Wan by wun we go I Wun by wun the
tall oaks which hev stood, onmoved, the
blasts uv time, totter and fall I We view their
prostrate forms a second, methiiiks, they
sink into the earth and are lost to site, tho’
to memory dear, forever. Then around the
old stump the young sprouts grow up more
vigorouser than ever.
I ain’t singin these moral refieeshuns for
nothin. I never waste the pathetics. When
ever a man is pulled drowndid from the
creek in this vicinity, wich happens fre
kently, there being three distilleries onto it,
1 never weep until I see whether be belongs
to my congregaehun. It requires too much
uv an effort to weep to do it on all okka
shuns.
Elder Abslum Pennibacker, to-wunst the
strength and the ornament uv the meetin
house uv wich I hev bin for two years a
pastor, departed this life at 2 p. m. this
afternoon. For him I weep; for him the
tears is flowin over the paper onto wich these
lines is penned. I am wrilin em in the
presence uv the wile and children uv the
deceest, and it does em good to see mo
affectid. When one kin confer satisfaction
at so little trouble ez to carry an onion in his
pocket handkerchief, he would be a broot,
indeed, es he did uot prove hisself ekel to
the occasion.
Elder Pennibacker wuz born in the eastern
part uv Pennsylvany. uv.real old Democratic
slock. He wuz born amid the scenes uv the
war uv Independence, and be growed up
with lievolooshenary tnemriee inspirin him.
His father fought in the Revolooshen, bavin
come all the way across the Atlantic to do
it. He wuz a Hessian, and therefore wuzrrt
penshuiifed by the Amerikm Government.
But at their Fourth of Jooly ceiebrasheus
tho old man wuz invited to sit on the stand,
the yornanry uv that secahun not knowin
that it made any difference ez to the side he
took in the struggle.
Young Abslum growd up amid exslent
inflooenccs. There wuznt no skools in the
visinity in bis infancy, and jist cz he mite
have been contaminated by em, his father
moved to Kentucky, where he was safe from
ail sieh. The old gentleman dyin, Abslum
inherited the paternal akers and paternal
niggers, and became a man among men.
The genius uv the man now begun to de
velop. Untrammelcd by the unrrer views
uv bis paternal ancestor, ho boldly launcht
out for hitnSelf. He early distinguished
hisself by bis inventive genius, wich took
she real Kentucky shoot. Twas him wich
conceived the idea uv brnidin small wire
into the lashes of nigger whips; and uot
satisfied with that, he, after a mouth’s hard
study, brought out tho improvement in the
nigger paddle av boring holes into it. He
hed a desprit druggie to git it adoptid.| The
blind planters nv the neighborhood hed
fathe in the old paddle, plain, and the
Elder wot font to demonstate, by actooal
experiment on his niggt n its sooperiority.
He killed two in doing it, but be triumphed.
It wuz fonnd thst more chastisement cood
be inflicted with it in a given time than by
the old method, and that it lasted longer.
I need not ear wat bis politics wnz. He
was never notnin but a Dimocrat. He
commend his career votin three times for
Jackson, aud the candidates wich follered
in succession hed no cause to complain nv
his zeel. Under Bookanan his futhfnlnis
wnz rewardid. The post offis wich I now
bold wnz given him, and be discharged the
doolies faithfully and to the best nv bis
nbility. Ez he coodeut read he put wat
letters wich arriv ont into a box outside,
lettin every one come take one es they
wantid to. The paper wich come to the
offis for Deekin Pogrom he learned to dis
tribbit in too weeks. The out-goin mail
be damped into a Looisville bag, feelin a
great load wuz off his mind when it de
partid. He held tho offis till they wantid
nim to make ont a quarterly report. He
wnz nonplnssed. He either hed to boy a
nigger wno cood read and write, or resign,
and he resigned. A half-starved Yankee
wqs appointid in his stead, who reigned till
I releeved him.
The Elder wuz the happy possessor uv
three hundred niggers. They wuz probably
the best lot of niggers, ez they ran, in North
western Kentucky. He had three shades uv
color. The trader cood find anything in the
line uv nigger, up to these three, that he
wantid, on his plautashen. Ther wuz the
pare congo, the agil mulatto,and the comely
quadroon. Ther wuz no higher mix than
the quadroon, for it will be remembered
the family hevn’t bin slave-owners but three
generashens. They hed accomplished a
gread deal, however, for the time they bed em.
The Elder hed bin in failin health ever
since 1862. In that year he embarkt into a
speculashun wich bid fair to make him wun
uv the wealthiest men in the State, and
wood, hed things bin continyood normal.
Their wuz niggers runnin to the Federal
camps from all parts nv the State, and the
Elder conceived an idea uv goin to the said
camps and claimin uv em. The officer in
command wnz so anxious to consiliate em,
that he wood gladly give em up, without
bein pertikler about proofs, and the Elder
gathered, in that way, in two months, over a
hundred.
it required a good deel of ridin, and that
fatigue combined with the exposure inci
dent to bushwhackin Fedral pickets, wieh
waz guardin his fences and sich, brought
on a spell uv sickness from which he never
fully recovered. The Emancipashen Proc
lamashen nearly finisht him, and he ling
ered along, a broken man ontil Johnson’s
22d uv Febroory spaecb, which acted ez a
tonic onto him. He revived, but the effect
wuz temporary. Ez the Conservatives made
headway, he came up, and ez Congris tri
umphed, he went down, and thus he lived
like a candle in a tin lantern, flickrin or
quiet, ez the wind blowd. He pluckt up
amazinly after the eleckshuns last fall, but
alas, the treachery of Meade and the rein
statement uv StaDton wuz two blows from
wich he cood not hope to recover. And so,
yesterday, at two p. m., wich in this case
means post mortem, he died.
“Send in Sairy !” sed he, and a favorite
mulatto woman uv hizzen who. owiti to
the fact nv her bavin eight children, who
wuz quadroons, hed stayed onto the place,
wuz sent for. She set on the hed. and the
Elder’s head wuz placed in her lap. “Give
me my munney,” sed he; aud a box uv
Confederit scrip wnz given him. And eo,
with his head m Sairey's lap, fiogeriu Gon
federit scrip, and taken likker out uv a
spoon, he passed gently away. It wuz a
troo Kentucky deparcber. "This is the
eend nr life’” sed I. "May my eend be
like his,” murmured Deekin Pogram, and
all wnz o'er.
There wuz trouble immejitly. When
the Elder's will wuz read I wuz disap
pointed to find that the Elder hed left the
half uv his estate to Sairey aud his wife.
Sairey and the people uv the Corners to
wich he was indebted in small sums, wuz
disappointed to find that Bascom hed a mort
gage on everything the Elder possessed, uv
quite its valyoo. Bascom, I bleevc, hez a
mortgage onto every root uv ground within
ten miles uv here. He wood hev a mort
gage onto my property, I make nj doubt es
1 h;d any. But I ain’t, halieloogy ! Ido
wish, however, that some one uv more en
larged views wood start a grocery here !
Its inconvenient to hev so sharp a man
supplyin you with the absloot necessities uv
life. We buried the elder to day. It was a
huge funeral. In the front wuz his children,
by his wife, then the entire Comers ; and
back uv them more than forty yaller niggers,
who hed bin hizzen. Wat drawd em to his
tomb? Wuz it instink? Who kin tell?
But a piller hez fallen. I am too sad to
write more.

wrinkle, are as ruddy as a boy’s, and
though his hair and tho heard on tbo lower

with gray, he has all the appearance of a
