CO-OPERATIVE UNION.
‘‘ln union there is strength,'' is a
truism, and a truism as applicable to
trades and mechanics’ associations, as
to any other object. And not only does
it give stability and strength, but is pro
motive of other great interests con
nected with such associations. Thus
the mechanics of this city might, by a
union of the representatives of their
several trades and callings, effect a
great deal of good to themselves, and to
the community; because forming, as
they necessarily do, a large and impor
tant class of the community, whatever
of good they accomplish for themselves
mast, ex rei necessitate, result in good to
the entire community. Hence we have
nrged upon the mechanics the impor
tance of improving ihcmselves, mentally
and morally, by the organization of
Associations, the formation ot Libraries
and Schools, aud such other institutions
as must redound to their improvement
in their several trades and to their gen
eral advancement in society. This is a
duty which we contend that they owe to
themselves as well as to society; aud
one which they can best perform through
such organizations as we have already
referred to. It is proposed, therefore,
that the mechanics of Augusta of every
brooch of industry, should meet at as
early a date as possible and organize a
cooperative union having for its object
the general welfare of all mechanics in
the city. How much good such an As
sociation could accomplish can be easily
imagined.
It would have its regularly elected
officers and committees, its meetings
and discussions, its re-uuions and co
operation with similar associations
abroad, all tending to the advancement
of its members here.
Then there would be a library, in
which all the best text books, relating
to mechanics in all its branches, and
books suited to the tastes and require
ments of the families of the members.
Then would come lectures on scientific
and practical subjects ; the promotion
of good feeling among the members ot
the Union, by frequent assmbling to
gether ; the regeneration of the vicious
aud the idlej by the encouragemeut of
a taste for improvement ; the establish
ment of a Reading Room, where leisure
raomeuts could be pleasantly and profit
ably spent, and whiskey be robbed of
its votaries ; die organization of free
schools for the education of the child
ren ot the members , and, finally, the
endowment of a charity fund, whence
the widows and orphans of deceased
mechanics could receive some support,
without being thrown as a burthen on
the community.
These are some of the good results
which would follow the organization
of such a union as we have suggested.
Is the subject not worthy of the serious
and earnest consideration of those inter
ested ? We think so, aud, therefore,
commend it to their earliest and most
favorable attention.
City Finances.
Communications have appeared in
one of the City papers, calling for a
statement of the financial affairs of the
City. It is well that the people should
know what the Council is doing ; and
we are sure that in this respect they
have been pretty well posted. But it
is not always the wisest policy to expose
the financial condition of individuals in
business, nor of corporations. This
consideration has, Jiowcver, been set
aside, so far as this City is concerned,
and statement have, from time to timei
been given to the public.. In the recent
able and iirterestlng Message ol Mayor
Foster, a tabular statement of the re
ceipts and expenditures of the City was
given, which ought to bare bees satis
factory to the public, and doubtless was
to most of the tax payers. But it has
been the custom to give annually a
statement of the finances, and this cus
tom wilt be observed this year as usutl.
The Ist of April is the lime at which
this statement is always made, because
that is the close of the Fiscal year,
when the Treasurer’s Books are finally
balanced and bis report made to Coun
cil. Then the incomiug Council can
see the state of the Finances, and make
their arrangements accordingly.
If there is any citizen impatient to
learn the condition of the City Finances
before that time, and is not sati.fied
with tho recent statement of the Mayor
let him or her go to the office of the
Collector and Treasurer, and that officer
will give him or her all the information
that the applicant may desire, and lluu
hit books afford, for he keeps a monthly
balance book, which will at all times
show the financial status of the city. If
jhgt is done, there will not only bo
no necessity for continually bothering
editor* and the public with communi
cations, but the exhibit will be entirely
satisfactory to tbe enquirer; for we
doubt if there is a City in the Union of
the same sire and population, and pro
jected improvements, that can show a
more favorable financial statement than
that of Augusta. If the bonded debt is
large, it must be attributed to the sub
scriptions to the Milledgeville Railroad,
and the Columbia and Augusta Rail
road, and to other works of a public
character, most of which was sanctioned
and authorised by a public vote, aud for
which the present Council is not respon
sible.
The Mayor and Members of the pres
ent Council—and we say it without flat
tery, or other motive—have been as
economical as the public interests would
justify ; and we have no hesitation in
sayiug that when they do inuke an
exhibit, it will reflect no little credit
upon their legislative arid financial
ability.
Letters from an Ex-Rebel, to
Hon. Horace Greeley and Rev-
Henry Ward Beecher.
NUMBUR V.
Sirs : Tbe refusal by these States to
ratify the Constitutional Amendment
proposed by the Republican majority
of Congress, has been construed by
your people and press as an act of
hostility and defiance, and as a proof
of the rebellious spirit of these States ;
and it has been urged as sufficient
justification for all the coercive meas
ures by which Mr. Thaddeus Stevens
and his followers propose to annihilate
ten commonwealths as the most speedy
and effective mode of reconstructing the
Union.
Unless you assume it to be just and
true that the power carries with it the
right to coerce, that the clamorous
voice of a shifting political majority is
superior to all law and subject to no
restraint, you cannot regard tbe rejec
tion by these States of the proposed
Amendment to the Constitution other
wise than as the legitimate exercise of
the legitimate right to approve or reject
the existence of which was necessarily
implied in the submission of the Amend
ment to tbe State Legislatures for their
separate actiou
When the Republican majority of
that portion of the Congress of tbe
United St tics, now in session in Wash
ington. adopted the projected Amend
ment, and without the approval ol the
President submitted it through the
Secretary of State to all the States of
the Union, for legislative action there
on, no notice was given to the ten ex
cluded States that they were required
on pain of extinction to ratify the edict
of the Republican majority. On the
contrary, the project of law was sub
mitted to the Legislature of Georgia
just as it was submitted to tbe Legisla
ture of New York, aud the General
Assembly of Georgia were justified in
believing that they were as free to ap
prove or disapprove its provisions as
were the members of the Legisla
ture of your State. If it was intended
that the ‘‘Rebel States” should only
appear to exercise the right of inde
pendent judgment, aid should only
assnme the outward garb of freedom to
rivet the manacles on their own wrists,
it would have been more candid and
more manly to have said so in advance,
and to have given us warning that it
was a part of our sentence that we
should make a show of voluntarily in
viting and approving our punishment.
When the Prussian General Mauteuffel
ordered the free city of Frankfort to
pay him several millions, by way of
contribution, he did not require the
citizens of that municipality to declare
that they approved the order, and that
the tribute was a voluntary gift. Mili
tary conquerors have never yet required
that the people whom they have subject
ed should pretend to give an inde
pendent assent to the destruction ot
their independence, or be visited with
severer punishment in case of refusal.
When the ■Amendment was framed
and adopted, no such power was claim
ed. On the contrary, the theory upon
which the action of your party was then
based, was, that the war had for its ob
ject, not the conquest of States, but the
suppression of rebellion ; that the object
had been attained, and that the States
lately in rebellion being now fully
restored to all the rights which any of
Northern States enjoy under the
Constitution, this Amendment of the
organic law of the Union was submitted
to them for their independent action,
because this was the only way in which
tbe Couslitution provided for its own
Amendment.
The proclamations withdrawing mar
tial law, declaring the restoration of
peace, and re-establishing the majesty
of the civil law, were all based on this
theory. Several acts of Congress have
recognized its correctueis, and the judg
ments o! tbe highest judicial tribunal in
the laud have stamped it with the seal
of irrepealable approval.
In tbi.-t-any. and on these approved
principle*of law and justice, the Amend
ment was presented to these Stales lor
ratification or rejection.
I will make no point upon the fact
that the representatives of the. people of
the States against whom all the provi
sions of this Amendment were specially
directed, were excluded from the Con
gress which In lined it, aud had no voice
in.the discussion of its terms; but you!
will admit that the point may be made,
aud that the validity in law of the Corr
gressionnl action on this proposed change
in the Constitutiou may Lu denied with
out resort to quibbling or factitious
Opposition.
But we were asked to assist in making
it tbe fundamental law of the land, that
we should be deprived of nearly half of
our represeutatiya power, and that all
of our cilisens who took part in the re
bellion, or gave aid and comfort to the
enemies of the United States, who bad
at any time taken the oath to support
the Constitution, should be forever dis
qualified to bold State or Federal office,
until pardoned by a two-thirds vote of
Congress. I do not allude to the clauses
in reference to the Confederate debt, or
tbe right ot a State to secede, because
the repudiation of the one and the ab
andonment of the other have been uni
versally ratified, and tbe ratification
recorded among the irrevercible statutes
of facts.
The proposition to curtail our repre
sentation in Congress and in the Elec
toral College is a flagrant injustice,
because while it appeared to apply to all
the States and made actual voters, not
population, the basis of representation,
it really only applied to us, and was only
designed to apply to us, with a view to
despoil us of our political power, or com
pel us to grant tbe suffrage to millions
of recently emancipated slaves—in the
one case giving the North a predomi
nance to which she is not entitled, and
in the other giving your party the ad
vantage which you hoped to derive from
the influence it expected to exercise
over the negroes, and the political an
tagonism which it was expected to
arouse between the two races.
But, unjust as this was, we might, had
it been made the sine qua non of peace
and constitutional liberty, have paid the
price and given you the advantage which
you sought. Bat when you asked us to
affix the stigma of perjury to all of our
fellow-citizens whose intellect, virtue,
honor, and patriotism had recommended
them to our choice ns public officers, and
whose imputed guilt consisted in the
faithful discharge of the duties which
we imposed upon them, you asked us
lo commit an act ot dishonor so base,
so ineffably infamous, that rather than
be guilty of it we would cheerfully sub
mit to any fate which hatred may fashion
and malevolence impose. You did not
require us merely to submit to the disa
bilities which in your pride of power and
conquest you saw fit to impose on all
the best and bravest of onr country, but
you asked us to assent to the sentence,
approve its justice, and aid in its exe
cution. Had we consented to commit
such an act of infamous ingratitnde, you
would have been justified in holding us
forever as unfit for the association of
honest freemen.
In the exercise of the independent
judgment which the submission of the
Amendment pre-supposed and neces
sarily implied, we refused to ratify it.
We did so in no angry or deficient
spirit We used no heated or hosti’e
language. 11l act and word we were calm
and respectful, while we were firm and
decided. Yon asked us to pronounce
onr opinion of your proposed Amend
ment. and we have done so. If you
pnnish us because you have the numer
ical strength for the expression of an
independent opinion on a matter involv
ing our honor and self-respect, and on
which yonr own action admitted onr
right to say yea or nay, as we thought
proper, we must submit; but whatever
may be our fate, we shall be sustained
in our suffering bv the consciousness
that we have neither provoked nor
merited the punishment; that it is un
just, and that in yonr hearts you ap
prove onr action and commend our
mauhood. Nylon.
The New Plan of Adjustment.

justment which the telegraph announces
has been suggested for adoption by the
