Fellow Citizens I hope no one
will suppose that I shall attempt to
fill the bill which was announced for
your entertainment to-day. General
Toomhs was to speak for you, and he
cam' hot he is so indisimsed, that it
is impossible for him to do so. He is
quite no well and has considerable fe
ver, and he asked' me to come and
render his excuse, and say something
inyeelf.
And several of your citizens have
asked me to say something in lieu of
the address which Gen. Toombs was
to have delivered. You know that I
am riot a politician, and do not follow
the practice of public speaking; but
at the request of Geu. Toombs and
several 'your citizens, and that those
who came to hear a s|>eech inny not
be wholly disappointed, I will say a
few words upon the subject of the
State election now approaching.
You all remember the State election
of 1870. In my judgment, it was
one of the most important to the peo
ple of Georgia, that ever look place
within our limits. Quite o number of
old persons remember Hie Presidential
election of 1800, when Jefferson and
Adams were candidates, and when
contrary to the expectations of many.
Mr. Jefferson was so triumphantly
elected. That election was followed
by results of the greatest importance
to the country. It established politi
cal principles and truths, those taught
by Thomas Jefferson, which prevailed
over this country and shaped its policy
for sixty years. From that time till
1880, there were many elections, but
none that followed it, equalled in im
portance that of 1860, which you all
know, was a contest between the North
and the South. It was conducted and
decided upon purely sectional grounds,
against the South. It established a
sectional party on sectional principles,
and resulted in a live years’ war and
the subjugation of the South, and the
overturning of the great principles es
tablished by the election of 1800.
Then came our State election in
1870, which I do not hesitate to say,
wa3 the inoet important one to us of
any that ever had been held, save only
those of 1800 and 1860. Though
there was no President or Governor
to choose, yet, as a State election, it
was big with events of the highest jhis-
sible moment to the people of Georgia.
In 1868, we had what was called an
election. The Radicals had establish
ed themselves in power all over the
country. They had taken possession
of our State Government and held it
as a conquest. The Governor was
their Governor. The Judges of the
State were the Judges of that party,
and the Legislature was its Legisla
ture, which subserviently registered
the edicts of the party in every
scheme to retain their hold upon the
power they had usurped and to plun
der our people. When you cursorily
look at the mockery of the election of
1868—its high-handed fraud and in
justice, and the wickedness and op
pression which it fastened upon us,
you will agref with me that the elec
tion of 1870, which overturned the
tyranny of the band of plunderers—
which re-established justice and good
government upon principles of truth,
and place<l good men in power, was
most important indeed.
The Radical party having establish
<il themselves in power, passed mimor-
ous laws and adopted measures in
tended to enable them to retain that
unjust power indefinitely
They passed what they called “ Re
lief Laws,” which the Supreme Court
has declared to lie unconstitutional,
and which they, at the time of passing
them, lcneio to lie unconstitutional—all
for the purpose of debauching our peo
ple—of makiug them dishonest, and
therefore incapable of setting up a
good government, administered upon
principles of uprightness and integrity.
Then they passed laws in aid of
these so-called relief measures, known
as “ limitation laws,” which were in
tended further to corrupt and demor
alize the people and debauch public
sentiment.
Then they passed a large numlier of
bogus Railroad State Aid Charters,
which had a two-fold object: one to
debauch the people, the other to plun-
More than forty of these
on to the power they had usurped and
grasped and established in their wick
edness.
It is worth while to take a little fur
ther review of their conduct.
The Radical Legislature, from 1868
to 1870, were in session nearly 300
days, nil the while doing every mis
chief they could. They spent all the
money which they could possibly lay
their hands on, or raise by any means.
They stole the School Fnnd, amount
ing to over 8250,000 and pocketed it.
They (r put out the bonds of the State
and the indorsed bmids of these bogus

I tell you my friends, I’ve not come
here to talk of matters of which I know-
nothing. Fve seen it all, and I pro
claim to you the solemn truth. I
know the designs of the men, whom
you thrust out of power in 1870.—
They are now struggling to ingratiate
themselves into your favor by deceiv
ing and "blinding you to the merits
nnd importance of the issue, so that
they may put their hands in your
pockets and help themselves. Their
work is not at all done vet. It be
hooves you to scan carefully the real
designs of every candidate for the
Legislature, and don’t allow yourselves
railroad enterprises, whereupon they \ to lie deceived and cheated by any one,
could get any even money on them,
and w hen they went out of their places
they each had about three thousand
dollars for their so-called services to the
State.
And they had standing committees
and special committees without num
ber, and kept them in session ; and
the committees had clerks, and all
wore drawing pay, whether they had
anything to do or not, all draw ing ex
tra pav.
Bullock spent over $150,000 on the
newspapers of the State, for which
there was no necessity upon the face
of the earth. The object was to cor
rupt the press, and thereby tc corrupt
the people. He issued proclamations
offering rewards, for every little trivial
neighborhood affair, and had them
published expensively all over the
State. I recollect seeing a reward for
the arrest of “Jim Toombs,” who had
committed some offense away down in
Southwest Georgia, published in a
newspaper in Elbert county, and was
kept standing there some two months
after Jim Toombs was dead. If any
one was stabbed, it was quickly follow
Don’t cast a vote for any man what
ever, unless you know he can lie relied
upon—that he will be vigilant—that
he is above temptation, and that he
can not be corrupted.
The men whom you sent to the Le
gislature by the important victory of
1870, labored to find out the extent
of the mischief that had been done,
to punish the perpetrators as far as
they could be detected, and to prevent
it would be worth while to be more
circumspect.
My friends, this is a great mistake..
How many persons in Georgia are af
fected by any law of Congress ? Some
such a law as the Civil Rights bill, or
a bankrupt law, may interest us; but
nine-tenths of the laws of Congress
never affect us perceptibly.
But it is the members of your Leg
islature, who make the laws by which
you nnd your interests in life are
daily affected. It is the law-making
power which protects you by day and
by night—which gives you a sense of
security while life last®, and comforts
you in death, with the assurance that

that the butcher of her own town

it was a Dutchman who said that
a pig had no marks on its ears ex

laws enacted by our Legi.-lators. It
is the exercise of a powci vastly more
important than nine-tenths of the acts
of Congress. Shall we entrust tin sc
great nml important powers to feeble
or untrustworthy bands? And the
importance of looking well to the men
whom you select for this work, is
the recurrence of such things in the j shockingly illustrated, when you think
future, as far as possible; but the only "
sure safety, is in the sleepless eternal
vigilance of the people 1 We looked
into the matter of the bonds very care
fully, and sought . to find how many
and which were good and just, and
how many were bad and unjust. In
of the unexampled amount of power
of this kind confided to a Senator.—
The man you send to the senate, is one
of only forty-four persons, who have
this vast power, sq directly’ affecting
your interests and your lives confided
to them. This is a very large share
doing this, we set the seal of everlast- j of the sovereign power of the State,
ing condemnation on nearly eight mil-1 which is conferred, on one man. See
lions of their unlawful fraudulent is-! to it, that lie is in every instance, lion-
sues. Yet, the men whom you hurled
from power in 1870 for doing this
very work, are everywhere trying to
fasten these fraudulent issues upon us.
If they succeed in this, it will double
our taxes; it will make our State debt
twice as large as it is, and our taxes
ed by a proclamation, put in as an J for many years will have to lie double
advertisement in the papers all over
est, capable and faithful.
I wish our very liest men could be
prevailed upon to go to our Legisla
ture, and that our people would rise
up in their majesty and send them
there. I want to see such great tal
ent and virtues as are possessed by
Mr. Stephens, Gen. Toombs, Mr.
the State.
A number of the best lawyers in
Georgia were retained by Bullock,
and large fees paid to them where
their services were not needed—sim
ply to keep them from joining the
people in any effort to roust them
from power.
Every trick, device or measure—no
matter bow responsible—was resorted
to, to corrupt, debase and debauch the
people and enable them to hold on to
power.
And there was the outrageous abuse
of the pardoning power! whatever
judges and juries might do to punish
crime, there was no punishment for
any criminal, ifVie or his friends had
money which they were willing to
spend to save him from his just de
serts.
But at the election of 1870, the peo
ple were aroused to a solemn sense of
their desperate condition; and they
arose in their might, in their wrath, in
their infinite majesty, and crushed
them out. [Immense applause.] It
was a stunning defeat, for which they
were not prepared. Their corrupted
press, and retained lawyers, and de
bauched adherents and apologists, and
wicked contrivances—all, all, availed
them nothing; for the people were not
deliased, notwithstanding the efforts to
effect this, nnd they determined to put
an end to .Radical rule in Georgia.—
[Prolonged applause.] They put
forth their might nnd achieved a glo
rious victory.

It was a Portuguese mayor who
enumerated among the marks by
which the body’ of a drowned man
might be identified when found,
“ a marked impediment in his
speech.” It was a Frenchman,
the famous Carlino, who, conten
tedly laying his head on a large
stone jar for a pillow, replied to
one who enquired if it was not
rather hard, “ Not at all, for I’ve
stuffed it with hay.” It was an
American lecturer who solemnly
said "Parents, you have children,
or it not, your daughters may
have.” And it was a German
orator, who, warming with his
subject, exclaimed, "There is no
man, woman or child in this house,
who has arrived at the ago of fifty
years, but what has felt the truth
thundering through their minds
for centuries.”

were planted down ib”every section of manner in which lie had attempted

forth their festering brood of corrup-

intended to hitch our people, firmly,
f»r all time, to the rar of Radicalism
and carry them along with the party,
staining it in its power with all its
frauds, plunderings and corruption.
I lioy adopted measures to squander

And they attempted to put the peo-

p ’ passing an election law com-
their Governor, ingloriously fled from
the State and left his robes of office
hanging on Conley’s shoulders. The
peoples’ representatives quickly passed
an act bringing on an election for
Governor, which Conley and the Rad
icals tried hard to defeat, and strange
to say, they had enlisted in their scr
vice, numbers of persons regarded as
good men, who were timid nnd depre
cated the measure. They urged us to
be cautious—to let Conley alone—said
he could do no harm—his term would
lie out in a year, etc., etc. I, for one,
was opposed to this cautious policy,
and was in favor of putting Conley out
of the way at the very earliest passible
moment, and not keeping him a single
day longer *han I could help.
Wc passed an election bill and the
people elected Gov. Smith, nnd then
Conley went out. But before lie did
so, he pardoned Blodgett for all the
crimes he ever had committed against
the State. When those who advised
us through timidity to let Conley
alone, saw what he had done, the
through a pardon to save Blodgett
and others from punishment, they
yielded their timid policy and said
we had done right. We got clear of
Conley, and that was the last ofRadical
rule in Georgia. [Applause.]
Such were some of the measures of
the Radical party, and such the man
ner in which their yoke was shaken off.
Now, whatever was won for us by
that election of 1870, is now worth
preserving. You have now the same
supreme interest in maintaining good
government, which you then had in
establishing it. The same issues in a
great degree, are now upon you. If
you are not vigilant, the men who
robbed you from 1868 to 1870, and
put $2,000 apiece of your money in
their pockets for their wicked work,
will again get into power, and again
govern the same plundering schedule.
I have served four years in the
State Senate, and have labored to dis
cover what they did while in power,
and to remedy the same and prevent
its repetition in future. I’ve carefully
investigated the ground—gone over all
their tracks—and I know what they
-did, and its enormity; and I am de
termined to do all I can forever to
prevent that wicked crew from obtain'
ing any ascendancy, or any foot-hold
whatever, in any department of the

...Some of the negro representatives
in the South Carolina Legislature,
manifest a singular conscientiousness
about the sale of votes. Thus we are
told of a negro preacher, a member of
that body, who would never take more
than 810 for his vote. It was perfect
ly right, he thought, to sell his vote;
but it was all wrong, to ask too high a
price for it. The morality of his pro-
ceedurc, he summed up by saying:
“ Dis ting of cettiu’ $100 for a vote, is
all wrong; $10 is as much as it is
worf.”
