ATLANTA, GEORGIA, JANUARY 4.
Don’t Leave Georgia.
It is with deep regret that we have ob
served on the part of our farmers a dispo
sition to leave Georgia for the far West.
The spirit is not confined to onr State, bnt
seems to prevail in all of the Southern
States.
Wc utter a pleading remonstrance
against It. It is true that our political
condition is not what wc wish it to be, and
it is alio true that the prosperity of our
people will never get progressive to its full
speed until we get politically stable. But
we do contend that there bos been nothing
to warrant our citizens in looking for bet
ter things elsewhere. »r in giving up the
chances Georgia presents now and hereaf
ter for Individual wealth and State great
ness.
Ever since the war, the Southern people
have been as it were, bitten with the tar
antula of migration and change. Dissatis
fied with their Injured homes, they have
not realized that all the places In the South
and West were nearly in the same condi
tion. In most cases emigrants give up
homes and the certainty of a living among
their friends for the uncertainties of a
struggle for bread among strangers and in
a strange place. They sell out their house
hold •‘fleets at a great sacrifice, and supply
themselves where they are gring at a high
cost. They spend large amounts of money
moving, that if used at home to extend
their business?., or-‘Improve their place
would bring a heavy practical return.
They sacrifice their lands or leave them
idle and unprofitable. Tiiey, in many
cases, find that they have not bctteicJ their
, condition, that they have left congenial
neighborhoods and comfortable homes for
rough places and wild society, that they
have renounced good living for hard and
cheerless toil, that they have deprived their
children of educational advantages, and
that they must drag nut an unpleasant ex
istenceor return to their old homes. In
ordinary cases they have not the means to
return, and are compelled to stay where
they are. Having sold out everything and
spent tlie money in moving, tiiey are
the end of tlie row, anil must remain, lie-
cause unable to get away.
Let our citizens look well to it before
they leave Georgia. Our State presents
every advantage to the immigrant. Wc
have every variety of resource, ami cle
ment of wealth. It is netted with rail
roads, and more arc building. Lands arc
advancing daily. New enterprises are
springing up. The attention of capitalists
Is being directed to our prodigious re
sources. Why leave then ?
Take Texas. Ilicrc are few railroads.
Tbe society in the interior is rude. That
State does not present one half the attrac
tions that Georgia does, in any respect
Of those who have gone there from Geor
gia, many who arc able to return conic
back. Those who can return but don’t, are
restrained by pride; But the great mass
get out there, find their money gone, and
longing for Georgia are forever cut off
j~-4kom toeing the deareld State again.
Tlio writer Iia3 been over the Western
country, and critically examined much of
It, besides extending his enquiries to every
possible point, and lie saw no Western State
that he thought equal to Georgia.
We again appeal to our farmers to look
well before going. If tlie spirit of wan
dering seizes you, and you think yon must
go, leave your families, tty it alone for a
year, and then come home, and compare
what yon hnvc e> pcricnced with what you
have, and nine cases out of ten, you will
decide that the home you have in Georgia,
is far belter than any you can build up in
the West in years.
A Miss Batham, in Wheeling, Va., called safety by abandonin

promised to marry her, and demanded him
to splice. He refused, and she shot him

those in power, and I hope our friends will
lie there, prepared to discharge their whole
• duty. Concert of action, by friends of
good government, is essential to success,
and if wise counsels prevail we can effect
that concert. Let us cease this wholesale
abuse of those who differ with us on meas
ures affecting the interest of the State.
Many men are now in the Republican ranks
who have been driven there by denuncia-
fion. These men can and should be drawn
back Into our ranks, and uniting their
shield with ours, battle valiantly for the
prosperity and honor of the State.
Let our Legislators, by a just and liberal
policy toward the colored population, dis
abuse their minds that we are the enemies
of their race. They are a part of our body
politic, and if we do our whole duty in pro
tecting them by wise and impartial laws,
in the enjoyment of their every right, tbe
time is not far distant, when Radicals will
curse the day they deluded them, with
false hopes and falser promises.
Legislators! The honor, the dignity, tbe
life of your State is in your bands. Let rea-
son.not passion, guide your counsels. Let
justice to all, regardless of race or color,
shape your statutes, and with an eye single
to the good of your noble State, so legislate
that even your oppressors may see dig
nity in your humility, justice in your laws,
wisdom in jour counsels. Do this and
Georgia, even in her territorial condition,
will command the admiration of her sons,
if not the approval of her enemies.

Macon, Ga., Dec. 39.1809.
Col. I. W. Avery, Editor Constitution. At
lanta, Ga.: Business engagements have
prevented an earlier reply to your note of
the 27tli, asking my opinion upon the pres
ent situation of affairs in Georgia, and the
••course the patriotic members of tbe Leg
islature should pursue” in the present
emergency
It is with great diffidence 1 venture an
opinion in this dark hour of our history,
and I :.ro tbe moie reluctant to give expres
sion to that opinion, knowing, as I do, that
it is in conflict with that of older and wiser
heads. With painful anxiety I have
watched tlie action of Congress towards
Georgia from its incipient measures of
reconstruction, to the last culminating act.
which at one blow destroys State’s sover
eignty and remands our State, recognized
as sncli by the Federal authorities, with all
the machinery of government in successful
operation, hack to a tnii'tary department,
and I have asked arc we not to some extent
responsible for our present situation ? Wc
have failed to realize tlie fact that Congress
is now the three co-ordinate branches of
the Government, and that the Executive
and Judicial departments arc hut agents
for carrying out its edicts when autliorita
lively mprtsa«U by n partv oaiu.uk
legislative enactment.
Ignoring the fact that the Constitution is
an obligation of tlie pnst, not binding at
present, wc have deluded ourselves with the
idea, that its sacred injunctions were now
obligatory upon those who have, buried it.
•* as a war measure,” and that the idea of
reconstructing a State (acknowledged by
two Presidents as having fully complied
with its enabling act, and by them recog
nized as a State, complete in all its tunc
tions,) was simply preposterous and ab
surd. Acting under this impression, wc
have often dared the absorbing branch of
tlie Government to override those Consti
tutional restraints that our Fathers
imagined were thrown around our Na
tional Legislature and they have accepted
the challenge.
Conscious now of the powers assumed by
Congress, we should not defiantly invoke
the exercise of those powers. They are
legislating for party supremacy, and if
they fail, it will be because human ingenui
ty b powerless to provide •• the ways and
means.” No jurist imagines for gne mo
ment that the reconstruction measures are
constitutional. They are essential to the
salvation of the party, hence proper and
necessary to be enacted. In the exercise,
then, of these Mira-Constitutional powers,
it is madness to doty them by threats of
vengeauce from an outraged people. The
people will bear ail Congress enacts. Quit,
tlien.bullying Congress. It b assumed bold
ness or mad rashness, for, like the injudi
cious animal, we may bellow and throw up
dirt,but the great train of events is hurry
ing on, regardless of our pawing or noise.
Let us look, then, at things as they exist,
and act as become inen whose every inter
est—social, civil, and political—is at stake,
and not attempt to evade them by aban
doning tlie field, and thus leave your ene
mies “ masters ol the situation.” ■
This brings me to your second inquiry:
“What shall the members ot the Legisla
ture do?” I am aware some able corres
pondents advise'non-action, resign, refuse
to take the oath, stay at home. Cui bono t
Will this thwart the objects contemplated
by those In power? This whole question
is in a nutshell. Have the Radicals suffi
cient strength to organize the House (a
bare majority is a quorum). If so, why
resign to prevent what they have the power
to do without you? If our numbers are
sufficient to prevent the organization, they
arc then strong enough in themselves to
make a quorum, and can then shape legis
lation. Why, then, not remain at duty’s
post, and avert as far as possible unwise
and ruinous legislation.
I can not concur In the opinion that non
action is oar policy. With all due deference
to distinguished friends, I have ever believ
ed many of our troubles can be traced fo
the non-action policy of our people in send
ing delegates to the Convention that framed
the Constitution. It were idle to recall tbe
Past only as a guide for the present. Our
enemies mean action, and we must meet
them on the field prepared to dispute every
inch of ground until the conflict is over.
There were some Conservative Republicans
in tiie Legislature who could uot swallow
aU the legislation contemplated by the
leaders. Shall we leave them to contend
alone, or shall we not strengthen and en
courage them by kind counsel and assis
tance? But. say some, onr friends North
urge us not to take the oath and be driven
from the halls of legislation at the point of

THfl “social evil” sensibly considered.
•With all their vagaries and absurdities, it
must be admitted that the “strong minded”
women sometimes say things well worthy
to ho road and pondered. Road this from a
speech of Mrs. Burleigh, at tho Woman’s
Suffrage Convention, in New Jersey: “My
friends, has it over occuiTcd to you wlmt a
commentary upon our civilization are those
lost women and tho attitude of society to
ward thorn? A littlo child strays from toe
homo inclosura, and a whole community is
on*' tho alert to find tlio wanderer and ro-
gftl'e it to its mother’s arms. What rcjoic-
iiigs when it is found, what tearful sympa
thy, what heartiness of congratulation.
There arc no haTsh eonimmcnts upon the
pour, tired feet, ho they never so miry, or
reprimand ftyj tho soiled and torn garments,
niPlack of kisses for the tear-stained face.
But let the child ho grown to womanhood,
lot her holed from the inclosure of moral
ity by the voice of affection, or driven fronr
it by the strong scourge of want—what
happens then? Do Christian men and wo-
rnfcn go in quest of her? l)o they provide
all possible help for her return, or if she
returns of her own notion, do they receive
her with such kindness and delicacy as se
cures her against wandering again? Far
from it. At tho first falso step she is de
nounced as lost; lost, echo friends and rela
tives—wo disown you; don’t ever come
near us to.disgraco us. Lost, says society,
indifferently. How bad theso girls are!
And lost—irretrievably lost!—is tho prompt
verdict of conventional morality, while one
and all unite in bolting every door between
her and respectability. All! will not these
lost ones bo required at our hands in the
great Hereafter? ”
