The mU for a Convention to nominate
n candidate for Governor give* bnt
abort notion, and it ia feared it -will b i
very inconvenient for aome of the coun
ties to aend delegates.
It is highly important that the con
vention shall be full, and that it shall be
a fair representation of the Democracy of
the State. Several prominent Democrats
of the State last evening requested us
to urge all the counties to send delegates,
eo that tre may have a full representation
in the Convention. And in order to be
sure of this, it was suggested that, in all
oasos where it will be inconvenient to send
delegates, the Democrats of the several
oountiee appoint their Democratic Rep
resentatives in the Legislature to repre
sent them in the Convention; and that
oounties having no Democratic represen
tatives, and not able to send delegates,
appoint the Democratic members of the
Legislature from adjoining counties.
We think, under the circumstan
ces, it would not have been
amiss, if the Democratic mem
hers of the Legislature had assumed the
responsibility and nomiuatod a candidate,
and that it would not bo inadvisable if
they would yet do so, and that sp< edily,
without dolay. Under ordinary circum
stances, we shonid favor a Convention of
delegates fresh from the people to mnkc
this nomination; bnt aa the time is now
so short, we would have no hesitation in
saying that it should, in this instance,
he made by the Democrats of the two
Honses of the Legislature in joint con
vention. It should, in our opiuion, have
been done last evening. This is our
judgment, If, in this way, the namo of
aome able and true representative of the
principles of the party be presented, for
the high and responsible office of Gover
nor, we have not the slightest doubt it
will be heartily acquiesoed iu by the
Democrats of tbc State.
If this step should be token at onee,
it would be well to have a committee of
the members appointed to forthwith
opcu a correspondence nitii Demociats
iu every couuty in the State, to have the
news circulated as quickly and as exten
sively as possible, so that > /nil role may
be polled in every county. There ib not
time enough between now and the day of
the election, to cironlato tho nows of a
nomination, and secure as full a vote as
the party is capable of poll
ing—let alone tho assembling of
county meetings, to'eppoint delegates,aud
the nomination not to be mode till the
6tli December. Prompt action is neces
sary. Eternal vigilance is the prico of
Liberty. We are of opinion that it would
be woll, if this course were adopted by
the Democr its in the Legislature without
auy longer delay.
Wicked Threats—The New Rad
ical Rebellion.
The Era of yeetorday calls tho passage
oi the Election Bill a “second revolu
tionary measure," aud says it will “result
in troublo and disaster to to tho State.
“It vrtil establish two Stato Governments, each
claiming recognition m tho constituted authority.
This will call iu tha iuterveutiou or the National
Government Ib that eteat. Governor Couley will
be Bttatatncil. He will bo sunUiucd because tho bill
under which he ia sought to be ousted, ia uuoouhU-
tuUuual and revolutionary."
This is a threat for another Radical
Rebellion.
Not able to do anything also, tho Era,
doubtless speaking for Benjamin Couloy,
as well us the leaders of tho Radical party,
makes threats, and gives notice of an in
tout ion to make trouble if they can.
The Radical party, and its leaders aud
organs, are the party and the advocates
of revolution and lawlessness, and the
plunderers of the people. The Era and
Conley, and all the ravenous crew, are in
a rage at the prospect of losing their
ohaaco to further fatten upon the suffer
ings of our people. The whole course of
the party, aud its leaders and organs,
from first to last, has been charac
terised by on utter disregard of law,
of propriety, of publio decency, of
fudhlduol rights and pnblic good.—
They have overridden and trampled
under foot the Constitution and laws of
the United iStstes and of evei/ State,
ooiinty and city, where, throngh the uid
of bayonets and shameless frauds, they
have come into possession of the reins of
government; and now, when an outraged
people,who have long submitted patiently
to their plunderings and oppressions, are
about to rid themselves of these cormo
rants, in a perfectly lawful and peaceable
wily, they raise a howl and otter threats;
and do to with aa audacity which indP
cates that they consider themselves as
hairing a prescriptive right to g.iaw out
car vitals forever.
intend to pr&ctioe the same thing in the
North, if necessary; and no better evi
dence of this is needed than the arro
gance and threats of Conley and the
Era.
Verily, it is time for the people to wake
up to a sense of their danger. It is the
intention of General Grant and his party
to convert this country * \to a despotism
and erect a dynasty over it. They do
not intend to allow a fair election for
President next year. They intend to in
timidate the South and carry it for Grant,
by force, fraud and bayonets; and they
Tlu Public Printer.
Wjb re82>ectfully ask tho Constitution
these questions:
Would not its proprietors willingly
take five or ten dollar jobs of printing
from individuals, at a clear profit of 25
per cent., or 20, or 15 per cent., or
less? Would they refuse such work on
the ground thut there was not enough
profit in i ?
Again; Would they not take from an
individual a job of printing amounting
to a large tram—say fifty or a hundred
thousand dollars—for a clear profit of
even Jlte per cent. tq»on the cost? Would
they refuse such a job because the profit
would not be sufficient?
And further: if they would not refuse
such a job, bat would be willing to ac
cept it for an individual at a *mall profit,
why not for tho State ? Why desire the
hardworking, tax-paying, impoverished,
down-trodden and oppressed people, to
pay them a larger profit than they would
undertake similar work for iu the case of
a private individual ?
Aud still further: if they would refuse
the State TriiitiDg at a profit of five per
cent.,would they also refuse an individual
job of like magnitude for a profit of five
per oent?
And still further: if they reply that
they would refuse to take any job of the
magnitude of the State Printing,
either for tho State or for un individual,
at a clearly ascertained profit of five per
cent how small a profit would they put
upon such a job, and accept it, if offered
to them by an individual, rather than see
tho work go to some other office, and
they lose it? Come right out and answer
squarely, so there can be no mistake about
what you say.
And while on this subject wo will fur
ther remark that wo hare heretofore in
quired what motive prompted several pa
pers in the State, all in unison, to speak
out against a reduction of the exorbit
ant compensation now allowed by law
to the Stute Printer. The jour
nals we named are comiug back and
answering very emphatically, and some al
most indignantly,that they have no interest
in thejeombination which claims the Dem
ocratic nomination for*8tate Print*" ; but
not one of them has answered our inqui
ry, and wo doubt if one of them can give
us a satisfactory answer. We desire to
know why they oppose a reduction of the
extravagant and unnecessary amount paid
to the State Printer under existing law,
and why they favor the continuance of a
system which squanders the people’s
money ?
It is not sufficient for theso journals to
answer that, in the opinion of their ed
itors, tho present compensation is not' *o
high, and that they think tho State Prin
ter is justly entitled to 30 per cent, profit
on tho work. Admit thut they honestly
think so, what motive prompts them to
nay ho just now ? Why should they care
whether the work is done for less, or not?
What objection have they to its being
done for less ? What is the interest or
motive which now prompts them to cry
out agaiust a reduction ? Ought they
not to be willing to save the tax payers
from twenty-five to fifty thousand dol
lars if it eon be done ? They know the
work can bo done for a great deal less
than it has heretofore cost, for thoy all
know that the Manager of The Sun Pub
lishing Compauy has offered to do so, and
enter into any sort of bond for the faith
ful performance of tho work. Then, why
urge the payment of the old extravagaut
prices ? Will these journals answer us
on the point here presented ? It is not
enough for them to say they have no in
terest in the matter. Why do they op
pose a reduction of the cost ?
And now a word os to The Sun. The
Constitution thinks we are “peevish and
uncharitable.” It utterly fails to com
prehend that we are acting wholly on
principle, and have no selfish, peevish,
or uncharitable motives whatever. W
have said before, aud now repeat, that wo
arc not trying to defeat tho coiubiuutioii
in their candidacy for tho priutiug; but
we do wish to have the work done with
out unnecessary expenso to the people.
We asked the Constitution a question,
day before yesterday, which it has not re
plied to in tho way wo expected. Will
its editors, or will Mr. Hemphill aud Mr.
Burke, answer the questions we propound
to-day, fairly and squarely ?
And will they further answer: if they are
willidg to have a law passed so guarding
aud restricting the work to be performed;
so exuctly defining the “cost” of the work
that the State cann it be defrauded; and
will they then say what per cent upon
that “cost” they are willing to do the
work for ? If they favor retrenchment,
let them show their hand fully.
Capt. Jackson's Speech.
We very cheerfully comply with the
request of Capt Jackson, and lay his
speech sustaining Conley’s veto before
our readers this morning, lat ho may
have a fair hearing. Wo have only to
repeat our regret that such are his \-ews,
and say that however siuoerely ho may
entertain them, he does not, iu this re
spect, represent tho views of his con
stituency.
Capt. Henry Jackson's Speech
Sustaining Judge Conley's Veto
of the Election Util.
Editors Sun: As mv remarks and vote
E i the occasion of the passage of the
tion Bill over the veto of the Hon.
Benjamin Conley, exercising the fun
tion* of the Execntivo Department, iu ley, notwithstanding, claims to be Goy-
views and predictions may be wrong; but
if right, then, in the words of one of my
frienc’s, lam most “terribly right.”
Hoping that all newspapers that deem
it proper to remark upon my course will
publish my ppeech as made, f am, very
truly, yours, Henry Jackson.
Mr. 8pea er Ft my earliest n-
(ancy I ha* * had instilled info my mind
and h'-art tho docrinc of self-reliance.
Whilst tho views of friends more able
than I, are always allowed due considera
tion, yet if, when analyzed in tho cruci
ble of my own judgment, I l»elieve
them not founded upon principle and
reason, I discard them. I take my opin
ions from no maD, or set of men, from
no political party or association, simply
because they nre the views of personal
ffiends or political allies. If when test
ed by my judgment I approve, I adopt
them, otherwise I refuse them. No po
litical party is strong enough by its fiowns
to make me act contrary to my conscien
tious convictions of duty. I am not a
Democrat because my friends are Dem
ocrats; I am not a Democrat because my
eneales are Republicans; but I am a
Democrat because my judgment approves
of the principles npon which the Demo
cratic party was originally founded, and
which now give it life. Deeply regret
ting, therefore, that my reason cannot
approve the coarse which a large majori
ty of my party will* iu all i robabilty,
adopt, in reference to the veto message of
Mr. Conley; sad at heart that my feelings
are at war with my judgment, yet duty,
as pointed out by my conscience, impera
tively directs me to dissent from them
upon this most solemn occusion.
To define clearly ray position, it is ne
cessary for me to recur to tbe course of
this General Assembly upon the resigna
tion of Governor Bullock. Mr. Cam
ming of Richmond, offered for adoption
the report of the majority of the com
mittee to whom was referred the question
os to the exact position of Mr. Conley.
In this report it was urged that Conley
was not entitled to exercise the functions
of the Executive Department after
the Honorable L. N. Trammell
was elected to the Presidency of the Sen
ate; that the Constitution provides that
“In case of the Death, Resignation or
Disability of the Governor, the President
of the Senate shall exercise the Executive
Powers of the Government until such
Disability be removed, or a successor is
elected aud qualified;” that the Executive
Powers of Government followed the office
of the President of the Senate, and not
the man; that Mr. Trammell, upon his
election, was entitled to discharge these
duties. I was satisfied, then, that these
positions were correct. I am more than
convinced now. Having sworn to sup
port tho Cons itution of my State, I was
compelled to support these resolutions.
They were voted down by a large major
ity, and the mioori * resolutions were
adopted, under which Conley has been
recognized as tho “Executive Depart
ment.” I never have recognized him; I
never will; I look npon him as a usurper.
Were I in his position I should at once
vacate the office so wrongfully held.
Had this General Assembly deemed it
wise to make the contest that was inevi
table upon this basis, the earth would
have sunk from beneath my feet ere I
would have been moved from my posi
tion. But, upon the ground of policy
and e.cj>edicnci/, tho Democratic party
pursued a different course. I looked upon-
that ns a question of princip'e, and I
would not conshbr policy and
expediency', I look upon the sub
ject-matter of to-day’s consideratio l
under the Constitution as purely one of
policy and expediency, if the election law
itself be constitutional. Tho Constitu
tion prescribes that “ The General As
sembly shall ha*.e power to provide »y
law for filli g unexpired terms by a Spe
cial Election.” It is a position that ud-
rnits of strong argument t hat tho reference
here had is to a general law upon tho sub
ject of filling unexpired terms. The Con
stitution also says: “ Laws have a Gen
eral Operation, aud no General Law af
fecting Private Rights Rhall be varied, in
any particular case, by special legisla
tion,” Ac., Arc. Does not this contem
plated election law come within the in
hibitions of this section ? Are we not
legislating for a particular case?
But if this law be constitutional, the
power conferred upon the Genoral As
sembly by the Constitution in its provis
ion in reference to filling unexpired terms,
is purely a privilege. No one that has
yet preseuted views upon this subject has
claimed that the Constitution has made
it an imperative duty to order this elec
tion. If the Constitution so directed, all
of us who have sworn to support said
Constitution would be bound to urge an
election, and 1 would give the measure
my full support, as I did the majority
resolutions of the gentleman from llicl -
mond. But the Constitution loavt • this
matter optional with the General Assem
bly. The real and only question then
for our consideration is as to th^wisdom
of holding this election at this'critical
time in the history of our State.
Let us survey the political horizon.—
Every Northern aud Western State i.
which therohavo been elections this fall
with the exception of New Jersey, I be
lieve, have sustained the Radical'admin
istration by increased majorities. Con
gress is ou tho eve of assembling. Tho
Kuklux Committee, so-called, which has
been so persistent in its efforts to pro
cure testimony iu the South, is about to
report. We cannot inaugurate a newly
elected Governor before the middle of
January, eveu if no opfio&ition is mode.
The regular quadrennial election takes
place iu November next We have a
two-third i vote in the Senate and in the
House. We can, by suoh laws as we see
proper to enact, biud Conley hand and
foot. He will be a usurper in chains.—
If we have au election in December, as
proposed, we will necessarily have elec
tion riots, broken ballot boxes, blood
sheil, Acc., &o., if there is auy opposi
tion. We cannot look for aid to the
Democratic party of the North, for rea
sons already state!. It was the anti-war
party, and'I am afraid that with the fall
of the “stars and bars” it lost its prestige
and strength as a national party. We
are advised of the foot that Mr. Conley
intends to hold his position until ex
pelled by the decision of the Courts,
or by force. The public of this
State* are weary with fightiug over
theories not involving principles or prac
tical results. Now, let us truco out the
practical workiugs of this Election Bill.
Suppose the election held and Conley
refuses to send in the returns, upon the
ground stated in his vetp message, what
then ? Impeach him ? How long will it
take to do this, and what will it cost the
State? Will the Federal Governmert
allow him to be removed upon an im
peachment hosed on a construction of our
Constitution, to say the least of it,
doubtful ? Does the public he..rt of
Georgia wish for an impeachment trie ‘
with its dangers and excitement ? Again:
Suppose the election returns sent in, and
our new Governor inaugurated and Con-
the House of Representatives, have oc
casioned some criticism from my friends
and from the pro v, I ask, as a matter of
justice to myself, as well as to the official
position which I occupy, that yon pub
lish my sixjech herein enclosed. It is
substantially os it was delivered. I have
no regrets upon my course—not one
word to tako bock. I stand upon tho
record aa made! I sincerely trust my
ernor, what then ? Shall we recognise
the now Governor ? If we do, two ad
ministrations tre created, each claiming
to be the ri »htfr’ one. We then pi e
ourselves, . . fours, upon the Doi.’s
Rhode Island ca. 3, whore the Supreme
Court in those good old times when hon
est men aduruiater'd the different de
partments of the Government held that
where there was a collision between two ad-
miui^t|»tions in a 8tute, each claiming to
he the rightful one, it became the duty of
the Federal Government to sustain by its
military arm, that administration which
it believe ! to be legal. Are we not then
walking iut> the lion’s month ? Are we
rot about to give to the General Govern
ment a better pretext than it has ever
had before, to interfere with our Htate
institutions? How ruinous would anoth
er interfe *ence be ? How little danger
with our two thirds vote in both houses,
from Conley ? Should the newly elected
Go/error appeal to tho Courts, when can
& final decision be had ? With the ut
most possible speed, only sometime in
October or Novemlier next, while the
regular quadrennial election takes place
in November.
I look upon the policy of holding this
contemplated election as a fatal political
mistake. We, as the representatives of
the people, are not sent here to be actua
ted by passion, revenge and hatred. I
have about as little sympathy with the
Republican party as any Democrat in this
House, yet, guiaed by a conscientious re
gard for my duty, I am compelled to put
my face against this mistaken policy.—
Put me upon the record 1 My conscious
ness of right is so strong that the party
whip will crack in vain, and public opin
ion may condemn, but not one “jot or
one tittle” will I bo removed from my
position. How many of us urged tho
expulsion of tho negroes by the
last General Assembly ? How few
few of us now approve that course? Who
can estimate the material damage done
to Georgia by that one error ? I urged
the course at the time. I 6ee my error
now. Are we not about again to make a
fatal mistake ? God gran*, that I may be
mistaken.
I feel, most deeply, the position in
which I am placed. But conscience bids
me on, and I must obey its dictates.
Feeling formerly controlled me—my
judgment does now. I can go with no
party when I am convinced it is wroDg.
I am a Democrat, and will always be
found at my post when I approve that
party’s policy; when I am convinced that
the Republican party is right, my duty
is to support, upon that occasion, its pol
icy. Much lias been said about being
afraid of bayonets. Well, Mr. Speaker,
I am about as little afraid of bayonets aa
any gentleman upon this floor. I liave
faced about as many, and have beard as
many bullets whistle, perhaps, as any one
that now hears me. I sacrificed the best
portion of my youth upou the altars of
my State in defense of Southern liberty,
and am ready‘again when my suffering and
much wronged country demands it, to
face bayonets, bullets, even at the sacri
fice of my poor life. But there is
nothing in this reference to bayo
nets. What gentleman npon the floor
does not know that bayonets in the shape
in which they come, if they come at all,
do not bring personal danger to any one.
It is tho in j ui j to the material prosper
ity of our State that I fear from bayon
ets. Dig deep down into tno pnblic
heart of the people of this State aud you
will find that an election is not wmfced.
Would that tho.se heroes who live in
story and song, whose bones lay whitening
from the Potomac to the Gulf—monu
ments more durable than brass, to the
great fight for Constitutional liberty—
could rise from their silent graves aud
advise us now! We nre legislating, not
only for the present but for future gene
rations. I pray God that I am wrong.
I am open to conviction. I will vote to
set aside the veto, if any gentleman will
show me any practical good to be ob
tained theieby. I lmve given this sub
ject constant reflection for the last two
weeks. I have come to but one conclu
sion, which my vote will show. Earnest-
iy hoping that I am mistaken, I can but
discharge what I consider my duty.
Agricultural Education.
We publish the following extract from
tho address of tho President of the Uni
versity of Minnesota, as a subject of in
terest in our State at tbe present time,
showing what views in reference to this
matter are held in the West:
In tho West generally the wise plan has
been adopted of connecting the new in
dustrial schools with the State Universi
ties. This was the obvious and natural
course, particularly in those States whose
Universities had already been charged
with tho establishment of a department
of agriculture, as was the case in Min
nesota. It is a remarkable fact that very
many of the great agricultural colleges of
Germany, which were organized and for
a long time conducted separately and in
dependently, have been of late united
with some University. I am able ntrtv to
recall those of Poppelsdorf, now a part
of the University of Bonn; the schools
near Berlin, Halle, Jena and Leipsic, now
united with those Universities respective
ly—atfd the great schools at Eldena in
connection with the University of Qreifa-
wald. It was not merely economy which
dictated these changes. The education
of the separate schools was found to be
oue-sided and incomplete; and tho grad
uates did not take rank in society with
those of the Universities. Under the
now arrangement, the students in agri
culture matriculated into the University
—they use and enjoy all the general
advantages and apparatus of the
University, they are University men
—and if on graduation the agri
culturist finds himself ou a lower level
than the lawyer, soldier or physician, it
is his individual fault. The great Scot
tish Agricultural College, on the whole
the most successful one in Great Britain,
was from the first part aud parcel of the
Uuiversity of Ediuburg.
I rejoice that in Minnesota we have
recognised the unity and community of
all professions, and that our educated
fanners and artisans are not to be shut
out from tho great republic of letters,
science and ark
Beginning, then, in Minnesota, the
novel business of industrial education,
you ore entitled to demand of us upou
what principles and by what methods we
propose to conduct it Happily we have
no principles to propose. Fiduciaries of
a trust, wo merely propose to do our
duty according to principles laid down
for us in the law. I want no better ones.
Our prescribed business is the libcftil and
practical edut tion of the industrial clas
ses. Of our methods I will apeak briefly
hereafter—meantime let us inquire a
little more narrowly what may bo meant
by liberal and practical education.
"The latter, at least, is plain enough, if
we do not myatify it
That education is practical which
taaohee one how to do hit work.*—
How to do our work ?” some one will
say, “we know that already. We need
uo college professors to teach oa how
to plow and sow, ta fodder cattle, to
dig ditches and make fences.” That
is true. Tho manual operations of the
form ore best learned on the farm, and
always will be. I do not need to go into
a minute statement of the particulars
wherein we need tho light of science to
illuminate our darkness. We all know
that oar farming is a matter of cut and
tty. We have few settled principles.—
We have no agreement as to rotation of
crops. We have no economy of fertili
zers. In fact it is a mooted point wheth
er we shall leave our manures where na
ture does, on the surface, or plow them
under. We pretend to no knowledge of
the anatomy and physiology of domestic
animals, and our remedies for their diseases
are worthy of the Hottentots. We are
at the mercy of f horde of enemies, the
mst, the blight, the mildew, the bugs of
all kinds, and know not how to oppose
them. And so on. The things I now
speak of are those which depend on sci
ence, just as the operations of medicine
and surgery depend on science. We can
teach science in schools. We have alrea -
dy many noble examples of scientific
farmers who have acquired this knowlege
in the intervals of work, our Allens and
Geddeses and Harrises and Sheldons. A
school is not the only place in which to
learn science, bnt if yon wish to teftch
large numbers economically then you
must have schools. The success of Eu
ropean schools of agriculture has placed
their value and feasibility beyond all
question.
If these views are correct, our practical
education of the fanner will result in his
technical instruction in applying science to
agriculture. * * * Any system of ed
ucation, however, which contemplates the
farmer merely as a tiller of the soil would
be a very mistaken and defective one.
The farm has higher uses than to bear
harvests and nourish man and beast.
There is a nobler crop than any that was
ever stored in cellar or barn. * * The
chief use of the farm is to furni »h a home.
I speak uow of tjj© small farms, whose
Lumber I hope may never grow less. The
small farmer, if be is a wise man, does
not expect t • be rich. He cannot do it
and live os a civilized man ought His
business is a lottery. The day he is ready
to sow there comes a storm, or his best
team horse lies down and dies. All sum
mer long he is balanced between hope
ami fear. Floods may drown his crops;
t m drouth may parch it up; the frost
may nip his corn in the milk. In good
years lie only makes np the losses of the
bad ones. The men who make much
money on small farms do so by dicker
and jockeying and speculation. No, the
average farm is not the place to get rich
on, bnfc the best place under the whole
sky to raise up children. If economy be
practiced the farm yields food, clothing,
shelter, a needful supply. The very un
certainty of the farmers income is itself
an educating power, teaching patience,
and self-denial. Above all, the farm
yields varied employment and innocent
diversion. For from the excitements
of the town and its demoralizing sights
and sounds, under the open heaven, in
the presence and company of parents and
relatives, the children grow op in blessed
ignorance of vice. I do not think there
is any school so good for a young man
os to work in the fields with a brave,
prudent and wise farmer. It is a mis
fortune that meclianics’ sons do not gen
erally work in the company of their
fathers. The farmer’s children spend
their nights at borne; and the wint«r
evenings around the mother’s work
table are the blessedest school time ever
offered on earth.
A second caution is against expecting
too great a number of candidates f »r
thorough scientific education in agr cul-
turc. We have no such demand as ex
ists in Europe for experts in forestry or
gardening. We have no great landed
proprietors needing stewards and ten
ants, and may the day be far distant when
we shall have them. I have little doubt
but that the manufacturing and building
arts will at first make greater demands
upon us than the farming interests. So
much have we to say for the industrial
branch of the University. The University
has other interests equally dear, but she
will know no favorites. All arts shall
find a home within her walls, all faithful
students will find her an alma mater.—
We have the beginnings of what may be
come a great institution of learning, the
centre of the scientific and literary ac
tivity of the State, the pride of the whole
people. Let me bespeak from this great
body its countenance and support. The
Uuiversity is part and parcel of your sys
tem of publio instruction, and can only
live in vital connection with it. It must
grow, can only grow along with it. Our
success is inseparably bound up with that
of your common schools, your high
schools, and your normal schools.—
Throw, then, yonr strong arms arouDd
them all. Equip and furnish them gen
erously, as you have already begun.—
Link them in your affections, with
hearth-stone and roof-tree. By God’s
grace they shall yield a grander harvest
uian ever yet was garnered from your
fields—a race of strong-armed, high-
souled men and women.
