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.
