Atlanta Street R. R.
On account of tin* great length of Mr.
Hill’s speech, we have chosen to omit
souie parts and conduuso some others. In
doing this, we have taken pains not to do
any injustice to his positiou or views.
He commenced by deprecating passion
and diminution as the greatest foo of
good sense, and stating that there nro
wise men who believe that the original
theory of American Government do-
1 iciuls upon the results of the coming
canvass—especially the material, moral
and political destinies of the South; that
whether the South shall continue to be
oppressed and insulted—mere vassals of
the Federal Government, or be restored
to prosperity iu their own way, are ques
tions many believe to depend ou this
canvass. He, therefore, invited cool
ness, culmuess and dispassionate reason
in the investigation of the questions in
volved; that ho was not there to address
imics but friends; but should not em
ploy language they had justly provoked,
nor indict the punishment thus justly
deserved. [Applause. J
That his hearers might clearly under
stand the political situation,ho reviewed a
few late events which he said had brought
it about. The war left both sections
largely under the domination of passion.
That war itself had been preceded by a
long, heated sectional controversy, neces
sarily engerdering passions of uuusual
heat and animosity. Tho government was
taken possession of by 1 he passions of
the hour and statesmanship seemed to be
the child and creaturo of passions. The
South came out of the war prostrate and
paralysed, the victims of passions aud
prejudices; and it would not be extrava
gant to say they suffered during the four
years succeeding the war, wrongs and in
sults exceeding in infamy if not equalling
in losses, all the calamities of the war
I itself.
Two years ago, wise mtn, getting rid of
passion, began to reflect. The party in
power seemed to liud an end of what
might be justly termed war meas
ures, especially as applicable to
the “Rebel States.” They passed the
reconstruction acts, by which the govern
ments of ten of the States were abso
lutely subverted, and other governments
treated by Cougress set up in their
stead. They only passed amendments to
the Constitution to preserve tho fruits
of tho war, as they said, and continued to
exerciso congressional powers unknown
Ito the Constitution, absolutely start
ling in their character, and exclusively of
Jon#'wSf&io j»ower employed largely to
govern this country, and the dominant
party put a coustrucii.n upon them
which gave absolute power, c ntralizing
the General Government to the exteut
of obliterating State Constitutions —
Where the end was, no man could tell.
This state of things justly alarmed many
of tho best and wisest nu n of the Repub
lican party. They saw that measures
which they bad adopted iu a moment of
passion, aud which tl ey ihowjht were
necessary, wero to bo repeated aud re
peated, until it seemed the party abso
lutely intended to subvert Republican
government, nml institute Centralism,
and despotism in its stead. It was be
lieved that there was a sufficient number
of patriotic men in tho United States to
correct this evil, if l»y any means
they could combine together.
Here, thin, was the situation.
Hero was the Democratic party a
unit against all these measures, and
a large portion of the Republican party,
daily increasing, that condemned these
continued encroachments upon the
Constitution and the rights of the
States; and these added together, it
was believed, would be sufficient to cor
rect this rvil and turn out of power the
party disposed to ooutinue encroach
ment*. . .. , ,
Rut how could this combiunt ion be el
fectedV Could any purpose have been
higher or nobler, or more patriotic VI
How could these different elements,
agreeing in purpose, in principle, equal
ly alarmed, aml equally patriotic, be com
bined into one solid compactorgauization?
The Democratic party had said in 1808
that all the Reconstruction policy was
revolutionary, unconstitutional and void,
and had proclaimed their purpose, if
they acquired power, to declare it a nul
lity. On that position it, was utterly im
possible to got the dissatisfied Republi
cans,the liberal—what I call the patriotic
—Republicans,to unite with thoDemocra-
ev. And why? Because upon that theory
they would be required to put a party in
power who proclaimed beforehand, that
it was their purpose to uudo everything
that bad been done; aud though they
might deprecate much that had been
done, that they had done themselves,yet
the process of undoing, they feared,
might work another revolution, and
where would this process ond? It was
impossible, therefore, for the Republi
cans to unite with the Democrats ou this
I oint. To ask this, was to nsk them to
stultify themselves?
On the other hand, it was impossible
for the Democratic party ever to say that
these amendments and reconstruction
acts were wise, just, or right, because
they were not. The D« luocratic party
lin the South would have dishonored
themselves by such a couceissou. [Ap
^ How) now, was it possible to bring
these elements for a common purpose
lofftbf f ,, ...
When men really wish to accomplish a
good common purpose, there is a wayl
to do so. Here wus the solutionf
The Democratic party]
A H X Adjourned meeting of the A Hants Hired Rail
road Company will b# held ou Haturdav, th*
— ——■ at Uia Real hot*'-
to ignore nil issues upon the reconstruc
tion policy, put it back where you put
the war and secession, as things of the
past; unite together iu the living present
to make a glorious future. [Applause.]
Well, these gentlemen wero willing to do
this uml uuito with the Democrats for
these purposes, ou condition ouly that
tho Democratic party should show that
Jt VM mpuLln Of organizing upon that
positiou, for if the Democratic party, in
attempting to organize upon that posi
tion, should go to pieces, or fail, of
course there could be inducement for the
Liberal Republicans to uuite with a di
vided Democracy. I believe, and I will
say it to their credit, that every single
prominent leading member of the Dem
ocratic party iu the Northern States be
lieved that the Democratic purty would
come to this position.
Mr. Yalandigham made the initiative,
because he was supposed to bo the last
one to be suspected of infidelity to bis
party. Dorn a Democrat, raised a Dem
ocrat, incapable ot any infidelity to tho I
principles or purposes of the party, but a
patriot us he was, he came forward to
make this movement, which I confident
ly believe will succeed, [great applause,]
with the solo purpose of saving t ho couu-
try.
This movement made not tho aiightc*t|
concession of principle by the Demot^ll
ic party. It conceded nothing but a his
torical fact,and based that concession up-
two ideas: One was that tho Centra!
Government in every department would
recognizo and admiuistcr these amend
ments, right or wrong; that there was no
right of appeal; that the Supreme Court
would give no relief, because they were
political measures, to be decided by Con
gress, and beyond the power of the
Court to review. That being the cose,
there was no other alternative but to ap
peal to the people, and tho people at this
time, it was believed, wero not in a con
dition to bear the appeal.
I call your attention to one distinct
fact: no member of the Democratic party
North or South, ever dreamed under
any circumstances of conceding the
justice or the righteousness of the
reconstruction policy. Every asser
tion to the contrary, is u slan
der which ought to bring the
blush of shame to all who have uttered
■■[Applause.] There was no purpose
iu this movement to collude with what is
called tho Radical party in power. The
avowed underlying purpose wus to or
ganize tho pat riots of the country to turn
that party oat of power. [Applause.]
Higher, nobler, more patriotic impulses
never entered the bosoms of any men of
this country in any period of its history.
[Applause.] Convention after conven
tion of the Democratic party was called
at tho North, and every one, I believe
without a single exception, endorsed the
movement. Hendricks and Hoffman and
Seymour and Adams, aud tho whole body
of intelligent leading Northern Demo
crats concurred in the movement.
\\ liy did the Democracy not succeed
uuer it x ueoanso (^>puaitiuu iu me
[party wuh mode, to such an extent os to
ilofout auy organisation with all it* forces
upon tbat platform ; atnl the saddest
view of the fact ie that this opposition
came in bitter terms, and chiefly from
kill- Southern State-, which wero to be
I’iiiefly bcuctttted by tho movement,
friiat great aud good maD, that man
whom I ahall go to my grave loving, our
former President, Jefferson Davis, [ap-
Iplume) iu tho State of Georgia, at this
juncture, unfortunately said that he ac
cepted nothing. These remarks wero
circulated throughout tho North ns evi
dence that the Democratic people of the
I,South would never como into this move;
would not oven recognizo tho amend
ments as historical facts, or make
any concessions, but wore simply
rebellious still. Other distinguished
gentlemen indulged in v.-ry extreme
utterances upon this subject. Ilmvo no
idea they intended wlmt was attributed
to them, but they were understood as
meaning that tho .Southern people wanted
another war, Unfortunately then another
great and good man, Mr. Stephens, com
menced editing a paper, and his paper
was full of slutemeuts that tlicso amend
ments should bo treated os nullities, and
when the Democratic candidate was elect
ed, that lie was to proclaim them assuch.
These men were held us the represent
ative men of tho South, controlling the
South, and without the South tho Demo
cratic party was powerless; uml therefore
the leading men at tho North, feeling that
the party at theSouth was unjust to them,
lost spirit, became indifferent and said if
the South will accept no movement that
will relievo them, lot tho South go.
That indifference nt the North, thus
produced, caused this move to fail. The
Democracy was defeated in nearly all the
State elections last fall. Gentlemen, it
is one of the saddest portions of tho his
tory of this country that tlioso who
brought forward this movement were
slandered aa unworthy of your trust aud
eon Adeline. That great and noble man,
Vullamhghnu), was declared to ho no
Democrat, was declared to bo a traitor
to Ids party. It lias been charged as an
outrage that n few hundred thousand
Republicans, at most, should require the
whole Democratic parly, witli its re
ported three millions of votes, to oouie
over to them, and that is compared to a
tug boat currying a big steamer into the
liariior. The original lielicf was that
these Republicans would come into tho
Democratic purty, it it could show
strengtli to win the tight upon that prin
ciple, and if the attempt was made and
failed by reasou of the extreme opiuimis
to which I liuvo alluded, tho Republi
cans could not bo expected to join a di
vided Democracy.
Rut wlmt was to be done ? Wus tut

that the Democratic party would come to
their support.
A call was made for Republicans will
ing to cui loose from the ruliug dy nasty,
to meet at Ciuciunati aud orgauize upon
that buhis. One of the most distinguish
ed orators of the Uuiou, going into the
different part* of the West aud coming
as far South as Nashville, mado speech
es in favor of the move. They wort
grand orations, full of patriotism. Rut
soon tho move seemed to wane, and those
who looked to it with hopo began to grow
faint; but ju«t at this critical period a
large number of the Republicans of New
York, with Horace Greeley at tho head,
came out and joined tho movement.
[Applause.
boon tho Cooper Institute mooting
was called, nml for tho first time Senator
Trumbull, of Illinois, took open and firm
position with the Liberals. It went ou
swelliug daily. It grew into large pro
portions. Ono of the most patriotic
'entions of our history assembled nt
Cincinnati. The plutform which they
adopted embodies in a large degree the
principles of the Democratic party.
They put iu a few words that contain a
little pepper and vinegar, but they were
slight. Nobody dreamed that Mr. Gree
ley would become the nominee, because
a reveuuo tariff was expected to bo a
plank, nnd it was considered an insupera
ble barrier to Mr. Greeley's nomination.
Rut wiso aud patriotic men iu a great
cause will not let small things stand iu
tho way of success. It was proposed that
this question of tho tariff should bo re
ferred back to the people, aud let the
people sottlo it to suit themselves. This
removed tho difficulty, and Mr. Greeley,
a timely supporter, was nominated; and
Gratz Drown, one of tbs origin hi movers,
who struck the shackles from the Demo
crat* of Missouri, was put os the second
mun. [Applause.]
With this movement the Democratic
party had no active connection. A great
many sympathized with it, and declureil
that if the Convention should ndopt a
sensible plutiorm they would recommend
their party to make no nomination, but
uuite with them ill defeating n common
enemy.
Now, you have iu a few words the
origin, tiie meaning, tho purpose aud
the philosophy of what some have styled
tho New Departure. [Applause.] Aud
it is brim full of patriotism from its
origiuul inception to this hour.
Wlmt will tho Democratic party do ?
That I came hero to diseuss with you to
night. The regular Radical, tllrough-
bred, centralizing partyjhave assembled
nt Philadelphia, made a platform in di
rect antagonisim with Cincinnati, nomi
nated their candidates aud ask your sup
port. The issue is joined between these
two. They are getting ready for tho
battle. It is to be a contest for liberty
and against empire, against the suspen
sion of the glorious writ of habeas corpus.
[Applause.] Against Federul bayonet
supervision of Htate elections ; and
for tho equality of tho Ho u them
ota ten «.uJ the Houtheru people.
[Great applause.j •—o - ■»
battlo has beeu given, aud these gallant
men, who quit their party in tho zenitli
of.its power, invite your co-operation.
[Applause,] That’s all.
Now, the Democratic party has to do
one of two things: It must cither nomi
nate at Baltimore, or it must support
Ciuciunati. i need not answer another
alternative propounded by Jiulgo Ste
phens last uiglit. Ho said: Suppose the
Convention at Daltimore should nomin
ate Grant. I dost suppose any such a
foolish thing. [Laughterand applause.]
What I suppose is that tho Democratic
party will either nomiimtc a ticket of its
own, or it will co-operate with tho Cin
cinnati move—oik! or the other, and
whatever it shnll do will he ns a party l»y
its organization. It is not going to dis
band and turn you all loose to stray any
where you want to go.
Now this is a question upon which
they ought to bo allowed to differ. I
exceedingly deprecate tho feeling that
is being engendered in some quarters.
We arc all friends, we all desire tne same
end.
No enemy is engaged iu this move. I
tell my frioud who spoke lost night so
eloquently, no man is engaged in this
move who i.> opposed to State rights.
The only difference between us is, what
is tho most effective policy to recover
the lost rights of tho States. | Applause. |
Homo think it iH by going with Cincin
nati. Well, if you think so, you ought
to go there. Some th.uk wo can succeed
better at Daltimore.
Well, if that bo so, thank God, no nan
is more willing to take that course than
tne ouo who addresses you.
Dut who is to determine the question?
When friends differ there ought to lie
an umpire. I say Democrat* assembled
in Daltimoro will determine it, and you
aud I ought to go with them, whatever
they determine. [Groat nppluuso. J
Said my dutingubhed fiiend hist night,
I will agree to ubide by Daltimore, pro
vided Daltimoro w ill decide according to
my ideas. [Laughter.] Well, everybo
dy has a right to agree provided Dalti
moro will dcoido the prinoiple as he un
derstat'd* it, and every man is a party by
himself. I put it to your candor, is it
reasonable for oD \ two or three men,
(for I lielievo that is about all,) [great
laughter] to stand tip heforo the Democ
racy of this country and say they will
agree with tho party, provided the party
will agree with them first? If that is rea
sonable, there is no use of going to Dal-
tiinorc. Just let the three call you to
gether and tell you wlmt to do. ( Laugh
ter and applause) Wo have either got
to do it, or else we have got to he traitors
and cowards, and thieves and Radicals
[ Laughter. | 1 remonstrate against all
such arguments. If I were firing shot at
an enemy, 1 would make him feel it on
this point, hut I am tiring only nt erring
friends, aud from the bottomjof my heart
I call to them to coin* hack uml let us go
to Daltimore. (Laughter and applause. |
Let us all go together, und lot us all co-
opemto together, und if there is any
fightiug to he done, let us all fight to
gether, aud if there is any dying to be
done, let us all die together. (Applause.]
Now this is just what I want to do.
Fellow-citiZ'-ns, if it wero not for a cer
tain reason, which perhaps you will tec
in the progress of this argument, I would
end this address now, and not enter upon
the diHCMMinii of that questiou . till be
hind, in to w lmt nomination Baltimore
ought to make. Whatever may lie mv
individual opinion upon that subject, 1
want you to iiinl* r t .ml that if Diltiuior*
di lb-m with in-, 1 admit that my opinion
is w i on if, and I am going with Baltimore.

go to victory. [Applause.J 1 anticipated

mouths, for a reason applicable alone to
Georgia. Kuowiugtliat steps would be[
Liken by certain parties to secure another
reconstruction of tho State, by setting
aside the election if it should go Demo
cratic, I put myself in u positiou to I
counteract that movement; and as far as
this Statu has been concerned, the result
lias been entirely satisfactory. Every
where tho people are seuding up shouts
that wo have tho Government in our
owu hands. Let it be remembered that
this result is not attributable, iu tho least
degree, to our ultra friends. They have
been accomplished, not ouly without
their aid, but in spite of their folly. If
those who took extreme positions had
beeu concurred with, you would,to-night,

Legislature, with Bullock for Governor,

1 confess to you if I allowed my preju
dices and my feelings to tuko ixissession
of my judgment, I would every hour of
my life pray God to spare mo to tho day
that I could gather this whole record of
reconstruction infamy into one pile nnd
make ono grand bonfire of it. Dut hush!
hush! You and 1 have been taught by
bitter experience to submit to many
things that were not agreeable, and we
may have to submit to many more. We
must obey the law. Wo must obey wlmt
tho courts declare to bo law. We] have
no right to set up our judgments as the
only standard of our action. Therefore,
[perfectly willing to gather secession,
the war and reconstruction into one
triune bundle of iufamy and bury them
out of sight forever.

My distinguished friend said last night that ho

t Is au outrage. Has al-
coultl muster all its forces, I might bo
lliug to sec them make an iuucpouileut
nomination. I wish it could lie done,
nml done successfully, aud if it shall turn
out that it can bo done, no man will re
joice moro earnestly than myself. Dut I
will proceed to give my reasons why 1
think wo hud better co-operato wi*h Cin
cinnati.
■Mr. Greeloj has said and done many
things I do not approve, but ho has nl-
■Woh nm of Dio most vital objection to
Lis support, lio never has, uny time,
approved of tlioso odious features of the
reconstruction policy which disfranchised
tho virtue and intelligence of tho South
and enfranchised the ignorance ami vice
f tho South. [Applause.] Ho has stood
up like a man from the beginning, and
proto-do 1 against every ono of these odi
ous features of the rucouutructioa policy.
You know that tho main reason why I
mid, never can and never will,
while God gives mo graco to remember
that I am a Southern man and a white
nun, approvo th so measures, is because
they affect my honor. Ask the Southern
people to consent t j a policy which de
graded the white men of the South by
onsonting that tho masters should bo iu
haius, while their slaves sdould lie un
fettered to lob them! | Applause.] That
is why l never can indorse that policy.
As I said in 1HG7 aud in 1808, when all
of you concurred with me, I do not and
did not propoao to resist tho United
States, nor anything they might do. But
I said that when Congress passed out
side of tho Constitution to oppress the
Southern people, and trampled upon
their own oaths to gratify tln ir feelings
of vengeance against the Southern peo
ple aud asked the Southern people
to give vitality to that action by their
consent 1 said" to Gen. Grant, and I
said to Gen. Pope, and I thank God
tbat I said it,that I would take anything,
death, confiscation, exile, martyrdom;
hut consent to that infamy never ! [Ap
plause. |
Now, Mr. Greeley comes to our relief
upon that point. Though acting with
tho Republican party, he, from the bo-
ginnig, protested against these features
of that policy. Therefore you and l do
not violate that principle of honor that
we should ever hold dear, by supporting
him. This is the first reason why 1 am
willing to vote for him. There is another
reason why I like Mr. Greeley. He has
never been what is culled a partisan ;
nnd an independent thinker, 1 think has
the greatest honesty. Lot us turn to
his history.
Bcforo tho war ho defied his party in
tin* very hour of its fanaticism, and bold
ly declared that if the Southern people
desired to secede, they hud tho right to
do so.
But, said tho gontleni'in, after the war
begun ho prosecuted the war. That is
true. Can you object to that V Mr.
Greeley honestly thought the Southern
States had a right to ■(•cede. But when
the North waged war anyhow, and the
South waged war also, ho joined his
own side. I opposed secession; so did a
great many other gentlemen, but when
our Slate seceded wo went with the State
through the war.
If you quarrel with Mr. Greeley for
going with his State, you must proscribe
tno for the same reason, l would go
with it again under tho sumo circum
stances. [ Applause. | He was against
whole purty upon tho subject of
peace. There was no duy ol tho war that
lie was not willing to negotiate upon the
subject of peace, ou terms honorable to
both parties. Some represent Mr. Gree
ley us a vindictive man; but it is not
true.
