AUOUHTA, t*A..
THURSDAY MORNING-....-Jane «, 18*7
Governor Perry'* Policy.
No. IL
It is assumed by Governor l’erry thnl
the inevitable result of popular com
pliance with the Sberman Bill will be
the surrender of the State Governments
t« the domination of the negroes, and
on this assumption he demonstrates that
it is preferable to take the chauce of anv
other calamity that may befall us rather
than voluntarily indict upon ourselves
the degradation and ruia of negro
ascendancy.
The argument is a strong one, and
n ppeals to the feelings of every man at
the South who knows the utter ignorance
and mental and moral incapacity of the
negro race. It is hard to imagine a
more disastrous fate than would be ours
were our Legislation, our Judiciary, our
Executive Government,! and our Munici
pal Authority to pass from our hands into
those of untutored and imbecile negroes.
With the example of Jamaica and St.
Pomiogo before our eyea, where within
the memory of ninay of us, negro
political equality has turned a produc
ts gardea into a howling wilderness,
expelled civilization to give place to
barbarism, and substituted sensuality,
idleness, and vice of every kind for
Christianity and moral progress—we
may well shudder at the bare possibility
that so terrible a curse should fall ou
our fair land, and the gallant men and
noble women who inhabit it. There is
nothing we should not do or dare,
there is nothing to which we should not
submit, in order to avert so fearful a
destiny. And it is because I hold
these convictions, and because I regard
the ascendancy of the white race at the
South as essential to our existence, that
1 dissent so emphatically from the
policy which the distinguished Caro
linian advocates with so much power,
mid with such dangerous persuasive
ness. * I
As it is, under the rules and regula
tions which Congress has promulgated
for the reconstruction ot the ten States,
whose rights of self-government are
denied, the white people have the power
to control their government and subor
dinate the negr6"element to their will;
1 ut should we refuse to meet the re
quirements of Congress, aud compel
that body a second time to put forth its
might to impose upon us its supreme
will, wc shall no longer possess the
power which is now allowed to us, and
the ascendency of the negro will be
established beyond a doubt. Now we
have the right to vote, and in addition
to the considerable numerical majority
which we have over the negroes, we are
free io exercise the superior intelli
gence, the moral influence, and the
s. uthority which intellect must always
possess over incapacity. But let Con
gress enact that no man in these States
shall be allowed to vote, hold office, or
interfere in any way in public affairs,
who i-annot swear that he nevar partic
ipated directly or indirectly in the rebel
lion, and is not the domination of the
negroes complete ? It is plain that the
Congress who ordered that A B and C
shall not vote or hold office, may, should
it be so disposed, declare that D E and
b' shall not vote or hold office. It is
nuciile to argue that Cougress has not
the constitutional power. That may be
so ; indeed there can not be a doubt of
its abstract truth. The King ol Prus
sia had not a shallow of right to depose
the poor blind King of Hanover, and take
possession us his kingdom, and even
his money mid clothes. The law is all
on the side of the exiled sovereign ; but
t ie power, the needle guns, the money,
and the clothes are on the side of the
Prussian monarch, and the Hanoveriaus
have accepted the situation. Congress
claims to be supreme. The President
cannot, and the Supreme Court will not
interfere to resist its will. We are tied
hand and foot, with the heel of the con.
queror ou our Decks. We are poor,
triendless, and prostrate; and when in
the lace of fixed facts we talk of the
Constitution and look so it for protec
tion, we are, as Col. Cowarl of At
lanta recently remarked, ‘‘like children
tiding stick horses in a circus, afer the
i o i as is done yone.''
Our only chance of escape, in my
judgment, from the dangers which Gov.
i*, rrv points out, is in submission to the
|.,ns of Congresß which are now of force
itr f ct", however we may question their
validity de jure.
If ul! who can will register and vote,
and if we elect honest, conscientious,
in derate men to the Convention, who
mil make the changes in our funda
ment.d law that are required, and act
for the States and not for a political
pally, tor the Welfare and happiness of
the p nple and not for personal distinc
t jot, „r preferment, wt need not dread
negro ascendancy. But if we either al
low the election to go by default, by
heepitii aloof, or defeat the Convention
b. n adverse vote, in the one case
ncgt-1 ascendancy will be established by
~u r neglect, and In the other it wilj
!„. established by unother supplemental
l.itl • lor the better government of the
rebel States.”
It is not the intention of Congress to
pr dong tin:, present abnormal condition
of The Union must he restored
before the Presidential cleotkm of next
year. A Military Government in ten
States, three years after the cessation of
war, would be a declaration of incom
petency which the dominant party can
not afford to make. They will therefore

The Clay Statue.
I.KTTKR nr Box. H. W. till IUKD.
Waoukxwx, Nksb Adobsta. G a., )
Stay 15, 1867. I
/fan. Philip Tomppert, Mayor, awl
Other.'i:
Gcnti.kmks i —l have the honor to ac
knowledge the receipt of your letter, in
viting me to be present at the unveiling
of the statue of Henry Clay, and to be
on that occasion the guest of the city.
I am deeply sensible of the honor
conferred on me by yonrinvitation, and
I should accept it promptly if it were
not tor the pressure of engagements
tit at cannot be laid aside. lam in the
midst of my court*.
Th«t spectacle which you invite me to
witness will be one of extraordinary
interest. There will be in it a deep
significance. When the veil is with
drawn from the statue of Mr- Clay,
there will be revealed to the eyes of the
assembled thousands the form of a
venerated statesman, whose fame is tbe
common property of the whole country.
All that genins could do to make it a
fit presentment of the great American
has doubtless been accomplished by an
artist in whose growing reputation we
all feel a just pride. But alas, it will
be only marble- The man has passed
away. The great intellect and the
greater soul no longer find an imper
sonation in onr midst. Those lips that
spoke to us of the country, of the whole
country, of its interests, its glory, and
its perils, are mute. Never since the
organisation of the government has
there been such afield for statesmanship
as that which our country exhibits to
day. If we could bring Mr. Clay back
for a day, how potential and how bene
ficent would be his infiuence. Or if, in
the presence of his statue, we conld
revive his policy—that policy so essen
tially American, so wise, so comprehen
sive, so conciliatory—we might well
hope to witness the restoration of tran
quility to the country, and the reinau
gnratiou of the supremacy of the Consti
tution. It was at once the reproach
and the glory of Mr. Clay that he could
always find a solution tor the troubles
ot the country by a compromise between
couflicting views. Extreme men, whose
vision never extended beyond tbe
horizon that bound a section, and whose
patriotism was limited by narrow geo
graphical lines, charged him with a
want of proper regard for the Constitu
tion, because he was reudy to yield
something to the exigencies which
threatened to unsettle the foundations
of the Government. But who will not
now admit that if this wise statesman
ship had been brought to bear upon the
great controversy which arrayed States
against each other in belligerent lines,
in a conflict which has so lately shaken
the Government to its very foundations,
the country would to-day be prosperous
and happy ?
Our troubles ore not yet ended.
Nothing can bring them to a happy
termination until the spirit that anima
ted Mr. Clay throughout his whole
career asserts its supremacy in the
beans of the statesmen of the country.
We are ip great danger. The barriers
that protect constitutional liberty may
be overthrown. We may lose sight of
the very landmarks erected along the
frontiers of freedom. Some of us entered
into the late struggle with reluctance.
We opposed secession. We strove to
prevent strife. It was only when the
war virtually opened that we entered
into the contest. We believed that the
claim of the Government to possess the
right to compel the States to submit to
its authority by arms would, if it suc
ceeded, convert the Republican into a
colossal despotism. The very day that
the war ended, the Republic should
have welcomed all its children to the
protection of its flag. All hostile legis
lation should have been abandoned. A
generous oblivion of the past should
have been accorded. The world should
have seen us reunited under the new
conditions of society, entering upon a
great career of national prosperity and
glory. This noble policy has been too
long delayed. To administer tlie.Gov
ernment upon fho theory of resentments
is to perpetuate our troubles, to impair
our nutional strength, aud to transmit to
posterity the animosities which to-day
estrange us.
Pardon this expression of my views.
I love the Union. I desire to see it
stand in its full majesty and strength.
This great country ts your country,
gentlemen, and it is my country. Rent
with feuds, ill governed, threatened with
uew disasters, it is still our country, aud
we must never abandon it or despair of
it. Let us strive to restore its tran
quility, its prosperity, and its glory.
I knew Mr. Clay well. I served with
him in Congress at a critical period. I
saw his anxiety. I comprehended his
patriotism. I contributed what I could
to the snccess of his measures. They
triumphed. May the spirit which
inspired him guide the legislation of
Congress and restore to us the harmony
that he ever sought to promote.
Very respectfslly, your obedient ser
vant, He.nry W. Hilmakd.
Not Needed-
Representative Farnsworth, of Illi
nois, is going South, to address the
people of that country respecting recon
struction.— Washington Roper.
The people of the South are making
good progress in the work of reconstruc
tion, and the addresses of Mr. Farns
worth will do more good in his own
Slate, where, unless recently repealed,
the laws are more repugnant to the
principles ol the Military bill than in
any State of the South. Still, if he
wishes to come South, we feel safe in
promising him respectful treatment.
Inquiries About l.nmt
’I he land agents in Virginia are
receiving numerous letters making
inquiry about lands. One of the most
prominent firms engaged in this busi
ness has received in one mail letters
from New Jersey, Delaware, and Penn
sylvania, making inquiries. Tbe indi
actions show that much interest is
excited concerning the lauds in Vir
ginia ; nnd there must ere long be larg*
sales to new comers-
We s-e no reason why there should
not be equal inquiry for lauds in Middle
Georgia. All that ia needed, is a little
cooperation among those having lands
to sell.

The New York Express,
FOR
1867-68,
MR. ERASTUS BROOKS HAVING
purchased all the right, title, and
interest of Mr. T. S. Clark in the New York
Express, and the case at law of Clark vs. J.
A E. Brooks having b.jen amicably settled,
tbe Express wiil hereafter be published by
J. &. E. Brooks, as equal proprietors.
We solicit from our friends, personal and
political, a continued interest in the Ex
press, and in its respective publications—
Daily, Semi-Weekly and Weekly. It is
nearly thirty one years since the Daily
Express commenced in this city with its
present proprietors, and in all that time it
has been earnestly devoted to the Union and
Equality of the States, the rights of the
People, a Constitutional Government, the
maintenance of Law and Order, the Diffu
sion of Knowledge, and to whatever would
secure the greatest good to the greatest
number of people.
The Express we shall aim to make more
and more, and in all its departments a
thoroughly National and Local Newspaper
—a Home Jourual for the Family—a Polit
ical newspaper for the Politician, a Financial
and Business Journal for the Banker aud
man of business. For the rest in the future,
the Express must speak for itself.
