The Chronicle and Sentinel on
Duty.
Our “old Conservative” (so called)
cotcmporary up the street, treated its
Sunday readers to a heavy leader, of a
column and a half, the burthen of which
is whistling up moral courage by which
nineteen twentieths ot the people shall
refuse to act for themselves because
one twentieth are disqualified. We
take the liberty of makings few extracts
from the article :
The recent action of Congress de
claring the existing State Governments
of the lately seceded States null and
void, and the perfect obliteration by
that action of all Stato lines and demar
cations, together with the disfranchise
ment of all the intelligent and leading
minds of the South and the enfranchise
ment of the whole black population, ig
norant and besotted as it „i.s known to
be, calls for the exerciie, on the part of
the white people of our section, of the
highest degree of virtue mid courage.
Are not “the existing State Govern
ments” continued as Provisional ?
Are there no “intelligent and lending
minds of the South” except those who
had, previous to 1861, held office under
the State or United States Governments?
None others are affected by “the recent
action ot Congress”—and we have too
high an opinion of the worth and ability
of the citizens of Georgia to believe that
“our best men" were all office holders
in and previous to 1860. We could
name, here in our City, many promising
young lawyers who have distinguished
themselves in our army, and in onr
courts since the war, who never took an
oath of alligiauce to the United States,
and who could, if called upon, serve
their country and State again with
credit, as civil officers. Again,
The Sherman bill, which, at one blow,
strikes down the organizations and insti
tutions of nearly a century’s growth, and
substitutes for them a military despot
ism, cannot, in our judgment, be
avoided or softened in its application by
any action of ours in its favor. 15ad as
that measure most unquestionably is,
destructive alike to personal liberty
and free government, and to all which
freemen hold dear on this earth, there
might be some excuse for our people
endorsing it, if by so doing they could, in
the slightest degree, soften its features
or mitigate its horrors. But nothing
which we can do will contribute to such
a result. If we endorse and accept its
previsions, and thereby proclaim our
own shame and humiliation, we shall be
in no better condition than if trusting
under Providence to the second sober
thought of the American people. We
patiently submit to the harsh and de
grading exactions of the Bill and try to
work out our salvation by a course of
manly forbearance ami passive resis
tance to its unholy provisions.
Is “our judgment” correct? Does
not the bill provide a way of escape
from “military despotism” by reorgan
izing the State Governments ?
In 1860 we had our institution of
slavery—perhaps the wisest labor system
ever devised. Under similar advice we
tried active resistence to improve our
condition, and for four years added glory
and graves to our country in continuing
it. At the end of those years the system
•was abolished and we impoverished.
In 1865-’G6 we could have formed
State Governments, aW white men voting,
and decided the negro franchise our
selves. Under similar advice we tried
"passive resistance," aud now ,ve have
the Sherman bill.
Is there no logic in events? Again,
We hope and trust that our people
will not take counsel from their fears
and rush headlong into tho trap set for
them by Congress in this bill. There
should be—we believe we may say there
can be—no dissension amongst us. We.
are all in the same boat—if it go down
all must perish ; but if, under the provi
dence ot God, favoring breezes strike
our sails and drive our bark into a port
of safety, let us attempt to secure the
safety of all the crew.
Are we “all in the same boat ?” Sup
pose “favoring breezes should not strike
our sails and drive our bark into a port
of safety ?” We know that a large ma
jority of the crew are already safe j and
would not a wise sailor run the boat into
port with the best breeze he could get,
and trust to Congress to save the bal
ance of the crew ?
These are the questions the people
must decide, and they do not need ad
vice, nor will they “take counsel from
their fears. 1 1 heir course for six years
past proves their courage.
Citizens’ Meeting.
A communication appears in our
paper this morning over the signature
of “Citizen,” calling a meeting of the
citizens of Richmond county, at the
City Ilall on Saturday next, to consider
the new Reconstruction Rill and the
policy ot tho Slate. Meetings of this
character are being held in several
counties ot the State, and it is perhaps
well, that Richmond county should take
part in them. It would be well, there
fore, for all who can attend to do so,
aud freoly aud kindly iulorckungo a wa-
timents. Whatever we do, let ua act in
harmony and unity, we cannot afford to
divide at thia juncture of our affair*;
but must remember that “in union there
is atrength,” and that in “the multitude
of counsellor# there is wisdom,” Let
the attendance therefore be largo and
general.
The Reconitruotion Bill.
The position of a public journalist af
the present time, is a very delicate one.
To advise the people what to do in a
crisis like the one which is now upon ui,
ie to assume an almost fearful responsi
bility ; and we shrink from the task.
We cannot say to our readers, consci
entiously, adopt one or the other of the
alternatives which this bill gives them ;
and yet we can see no other course to
pursue. To talk about resistance,
is the veriest nonsense, and to talk
about submission to military authority is
idle. The New York lime* very truly
says:
The suddenness with which the Recon
struction Bill has come upon the South
seems for the moment to baffle its cal
culations. The people have not recov
ered from the surprise occasioned by
the passage of the measure through
Congress, and are evidently at a loss in
regard to the full scope of its provisions.
We must wait awhile for the meansof
forming a positive judgement as to the
disposition of those affected by the
measure.
It is this suddenness which confuses
the public mind ; and it is only with
time and a calmer consideration than we
can now give the subject, that a proper
decision can be arrived at. When
therefore, we say, that it is for the peo
ple of the State to decide what course to
pursue, we do not urge them to any
hasty and violent action. It will be
some days yet before the bill can go
into practical effect, and in the mean
time we should all counsel together, as
friends and brothers, as to the be3t and
wisest actiou to be taken in the prem
ises.
In the meantime, it may be interest
ing and instructive to know what the
leading Republican journals have to
say on this subject. The New York
Times being the most conservative and
the most, friendly towards the South, we
take more interest in its outgivings than
those of other Northern journals. That
paper shows that several of the leading
Democratic journals favor the bill ;
showing that there is no hope for the
South from that part; and then con
tinues :
Besides, while the Supreme Court
may set aside a peculiar enactment, it
can not relieve the South from the
dominion of Congress. It may cause
delay, but it can in no respect extricate
the South from its position. And mean
while Congress will adopt yet harsher
measures, and the Northern people,
incensed by what will be considered
Southern contumacy, will sustain Con
gress in its course. In all probability
the personnel of the Supreme Court
will, before then, be in harmony with
Congress. So that, as ihe Richmond
Times points ont, the South will com
mit a fatal blunder if it relies upon a
judicial decision to secure more leuieut
conditions. *
In regard to the passive policy, the
Times says :
Its phi'osophy is limited to the fact
that after the flow of the tide comes the
ebb; forgetting that the ebb will bring
no relief to those whom the flow may
have drowned.
****** et
il nt how is all this to help the South ?
What benefit will it confer? What rights
restore? The South will remain out of
the Union, and the exclusive power of
determining the conditions ot restora
tion will continue vested in Congress.
With this fixed fact before it, what
profit, or convenience, or dignity can
nonresistance and nonaction filing to
the South ?
The plan “appears to be entirely per
missive and not obligatory,” remarks
the Montgomery Mail. We think that
the assumption is not warranted. Con
gress has provided a method of recon
struction, under which the existing State
Legislatures may take the initiative by
providing lor the assembling of the con
templated convention. It does not fol
low, however, that it the local legisla
tures neglect the opportunity, recon
struction will be indefinitely postponed.
The next step will be to provide for the
election of delegates by other than local
legislative action ; and the men who
now imagine that their obstinacy will
suffice to thwart the objects of the law,
will discover to their cost that recon
struction may be carried out without
them.
Ry these extracts it will be observed
that the Times takes the positions :
1. That there is no help to be expected
from the Democratic party.
2. None from the Supreme Court.
3. That if the Legislalure does not
proceed to “reconstruct,” some outside
authority will.
Now these are points which we submit
for the consideration of the people.
They must act with prudence, with pa
triotism, and with an eye single to the
peace and welfare of the country.
Surely, our position is an unfortunate
one ; but we must endeavor not to make
it worse than it is. Whatever wo do,
let us act unitedly and harmoniously.
Division and dissension among ourselves
will only make our situation more un
happy, while union will give us strength
and courage to hear our ilI5 aud wisdom
to guide us in our councils.
Urging our people to act for tl e best,
we commend our beloved section to the
care and guidance of a just and watch
fui Providence.
The Situation-
Much hits been said, written, and
printed in the way of explanation and
advice, in the political journals of our
State and of the South generally, upon
the subject of our situation ; the causes
which have brought it upon us, and
our duty as a people.
We have not presumed to offeralvice ;
we believe that when the people know
and appreciate tho facts of the case,
they will act promptly and properly
without advice, at least from us.
As we understand the subject of cor
troubles and their relation to the past,
present, and future, it is about this : In
1860 a Republican President was con
stitutionally elected ia the United States
The principle* of that party being
considered antagonistic to the doctrine
of State sovereignty and to the institu
tion of African slavery, our political
leaders, as a general rule, advised with
drawal from the Government of tfce
United States. That government refus
ing to abandon a fortified post in
Charleston Harbor, military force under
the direction of a confederation of the
Sontheru States who had withdrawn
from the United States, was used to
eject the United States and possess the
Fort. War followed, the United States
fighting for the supremacy of its author
ity, aud we to maintain the sovereign
right of the States. We were over
powered, and the laws of Congress are
the supreme authority in the States and
Territories. We cannot change or suc
cessfully resist them now. Had we
succeeded, our war would have been a
Revolution, and the participants would
have been Patriots. The couquerors call
it a Rebellion, aud our people Rebels.
This, iu brief, we believe to be the facts,
divested of the putty of political dog
mas, and the varnish of antique Supreme
Court Constitutional decisions.
So far as the material interest and
prosperity of our country is concerned,
we have everything to gain, nothing to
lose by giving the people a full under
standing of the public matters which
now concern us all, and thus enable
them to act independently.
The Still Small Voice of Truth.—
A private letter received train a leading
Baptist clergymau of the South, dated
at Richmond, Va., to a friend in Albany,
says :
“It is sad to think how passion does
pervert the judgements, even of good
men. i have an opportunity of noticing
the letters written from the South to the
religious press ot the North, mostly
from anonymous authors. There are
evils at the South, and evils that good
men deplore, but I verily believe that
nine tenths of the stories of Southern
cruelty to freed men are false or grossly
exagerated. I know of no cruelty
practiced on them in this region, but
there is a prevalent desired to treat
them kindly, and to make the best of the
the embarrassing condition in which we
have all been placed ”
