NUMBER TWO.
It was tut reasonable to consider
that, after the most abundant consu
mation ot their long cherished project
in the emancipation of African slavery
the leaders ot the party would seek to
bury the causes of agitation, and re
sort to every just and honorable means
for the restoration ot peace prosperity
and hapiuess to the whole country.
In this laitli, and keenly sensible of
the utter tutility ot lurther resisteuce
to overwhelming numbers and resour
ces, the armies of the South bowed to
Hie stem and indexible decree of des
Uny, and furnished tnc most unequiv
ocal assurances of an earnest disposi
lion to return to the ways of peace.
In the spirit ot a magnanimous the,
they quietly yielded tu tne conqueror
and met their late with the unfeigned
purpose to be as honorable in peace
us they had been chivalrous in war.
lly solemn legislative enactment, the
btates lately engaged m rebellion con
ceeded every demand made by the
conqueror or even dreamed of by
those who had acted a conspicious
part in bringing on tiie war. Here,
then, in all reason, should have been
the end of state—the end ot sectional
bitterness and jealousy. The period
had arrived for clasping hands across
the bloody chasm.” Further agita
tion could only have the effect oi re
viving the hates ot the past, it would
only lurnish additional fuel to kindle
the smouldering tires of sectional am
mosity. Leading statesmen at the
North had deeiaied tnat the war was
begun to perpetrate the Union. Rut
tue i^outn was ready to re assume its
its former relations. Whether its ob
»
jeol were union or the abolition of
slavery, or both, tiie South was
ready to accept and did accept,
in good iaitn and with solemn
pledge tiie conditions of tiie terms of
peace. Where, then, was there the
shadow of plausible pretext for furlhur
agitation 1 in tiie light ot truth let
those answer who love truth and hou 1
or more than otiice and its spoils !
We may easily account for the poli
cy pursued by those in power, when
we reilect tnat the political chiefs to
whom tne party looked tor guidance,
clearly perceived the necessity of sprin
ging new issues on the people in order
to the union and strength of the party.
At this juncture commenced the Re
construction measures, which are a
standing rebuke to the civilization ot
the age and a mournful commentary
on the degeneracy ot the times. It is
no part of our purpose to discuss the
constitutionality or unconstitutionali
ty ot these measures. If they violate
no provisions of the Constitution we
have less cause to complain. If, on the
other hand, they are clearly unconsti
tutional, while we may deprecate their
existence we cannot deny they are
accomplished facts.
On tiie 9th of June, 1866, Congress
passed the Fourteenth Amendment to
the Constitution and that amendment
was ratified by the Legislature of
Georgia in 1868, after the installation
ot Gov. Bullock, by Gen. Meade.
The amendment bad been previously
rejected—only two members voting in
the affirmative. It provides that the
right of citizens of the United States
to vote, shall not be denied orabriged
either by the United States or any
State in consequence of race, color or
previous condition of servitude. The
main text of the constitution author
izes Congress to control the time and
manner of holding elections. These
two provisions of the Uonsitituton,
taken together, arm Congress with
the most ample power to protect the
ballot box at all elections and to pro
tect the right of all men to suffrage.
In 1869, Congress passed .the loth
Amendment, which provides that no
State by its legislation, or the enforce
ment thereof shall abridge the privile
ges or immunities ot citizens of the
United States. That no State shall,
without due process of law, disturb
the life, liberty or property of any
person within its jurisdiction. That
no State shall deny to any person,
within its jurisdiction, the equal pro
tection of the laws. This Amend
ment was adopted by Georgia in 18-
70.
Now, fellow-citizens, these amend
ments secured the freedom of the col
ored race ; 2nd, his political equality
They vested in Congress the most un
questioned authority to protect the
colored ri.au in these rights ot person
sonal liberty, personal security and
personal property. In all things, he
was made the equal of the white man
before the law. Three fourths ot the
States ratified the amendments, and
they became part and parcel of the
fundamental law of the land.
Would it not appear that, after all
this, the champions, of negro suprema
cy would somewhat abate their zeal ?
Would not a wise pokey have dicta-

ted clemancy in the luling power, to.
wards the people of the South, alter
tuCii acquiescence in measures ?
It is true, the South maintained that
many of reconstruction measures
were unconstitutional, and that the
Supreme Court should declare them
null and void ; but they were willing
to accept them as accomplished facts.
I hey were willing to meet the whole
question in a spirit offairness and can
dor. But the national Democratic
party was not prepared to admit
the “Constitutionality and Rightness”
of the measures. Before the meetino*
O
of the Convention at New York,
v. liich nominated Mr. Seymour, an
effort had been made to unite the lib
eral element of the Republican party
with the Democracy. The position
then assumed by the Democracy ren
dered coalition impracticable. Even
the most conservative Republicans
held that the reconstruction acts \ve*e
of a purely political character, and
that the Supreme Court had no au
thority to disturb them. The coali
tion, from one and the other cause,
failed, and Gen. Grant was elected by
overwhelming popular majority. We
shall see. in the further progress of
this argument, how the impracticable
hi 18CS became highly practicable as
well as absolutely necessary in 1872,
and how the idenitj as well as integ
rity of the Democracy is still intact
and secure, notwithstanding the howl
and cry raised against coilition. In
March, 1869, Gen. Grant was duly in
augurated President of the United
States and took the prescribed oath
“to support, protect and defend the
Constitution.” All had been accom
plished tor the amelioration of the con
dition of the colored race that could
have been hoped by the most san-
Northern philanthropist. The ques
tion of his freedom had first been set
tled by the irreversible arbitrament of
the sword, and secondly, by legisla
tion. His political equality had been
established The States recently en
gaged in deadly conflict were now
peacibly disposed and anxious to re
assume their former relations. The
President gave to the .country the
gratifying assurance that we should
have peace. The great masses of the
American people looked with hope
and confidence lor the early fulfill
ment of the promise. Desponding
patriotism looked up to Heaven and
invoked its iidlest .benedictions on
tiie Chief Executive of a once united
and happy people now struggling for
very life. Possesing a large measure
of public confidence, he came before
the people, clothed in the purple of
the highest official station, with the
words of peace on his lips. We will
see how far executive influence has
contributed to this happy consumma
tion.
The people were not ignorant of
his inexperience in civil affairs. But
they trusted that if he should do no
good, lie would do no harm. They
knew he was ambitious, but they be
lieved he was honorable. They had
listened to his promises, and believed
him to be a man of truth. They
were by no means ignorant of his ha
bits of dissipation, but they hoped if
he should have no vespect for himself
he would not disgrace his office.—
'They supposed his success in war
would be succeded by a not less bril
liairt career as a civilian, and that he
would not fail to surround himself by
able, honest and experienced men.—
In all these gratifying expectations,
fellow citizens, the people were to be
grievously disappointed. lie has
been disgracefully treacherous to ev
ry promise, and meanly false to every
pledge.
Avery few days after the inaugura
tion the intelligence is flashed across
the wires, that a certain gentleman,
hitherto to fame unknown, is being
highly honored by a conference with
the President. The next intelligence
we have is, that the president is the
donee of a splendid summer residence
and that this same undistinguished
gentleman is the fortunate donor.—
Another friend has presented the
President with a pair of horses or car
riage. If the affair had ceased here,
it had been well. In a few days the
country is surprised at the news that
these two liberal and patriotic gentle
men have grown suddenly great. —
One of them retires at night a third
rate merchant, dreaming of U. S.,
bonds and the rates of exchange. lie
wakes in the morning and finds to tiis
infinite delight that he has been mys
teriously transported “into a large
place,” and is a member of the Cabi
net. A pigmy, he has slept and crak
es a giant. A horse-jockey goes to
rest dreaming of the turf, and wakes
to learn he has been made a Secreta
ry of the Interior or a Post Master
General.
Thus, we see, fellow-citizens, the
very first act of the President was a
blunder, and an enlightened public
opinion will not suffer him to plead
ignorance. Instead of calling to his
aid honest, capable and experienced
men, lie went to work to gratify the
sickl y whims of his former companions
of the turf and bowl. Mr. Greeley
has well said : “It is the first step
that costs.” This first step of Gen.
Grant has largely contributed to tlm
complication of our domestic as well
as our foreign relations. It lias
wrought confusion and stimulated dis
honesty in camp and court and field
But as we shall have occasion to refer
to this again, when we come to speak
to the robbery and peculation in the
differant departments, we pass to oth
er pledges of the President.
The people looked for pacification
and reconciliation. The President
had pledged executive influence to
bring about a better state of teelings
between the lately hostile sections.—•
He has failed a::d refused to take even
the initiatory step towards the accom
plishment of this happy result. The
way was plain before him. Had not
his eyes been closed to the light, and
his ear deaf to the voice of history as
the dictates of reason ; had not his
soul been seared as with an hot iron ;
had not partisan prejudice and base
submission to petty politicians led
him like the evil spirit spoken of in
Scripture, whithersoever they would
there was no mistaking the road to
peace. A wise, practical statesman
ship would, unquestionably have sug
gested the importance of first recon
ciling those who, by their influence
and talenty give from and direction to
Southern sentiment. Common sense
would have dictated such a policy.
Under the political regime of Con
gress and the President, the very
best talent in the South has been
wholly excluded from anyparticipa
tion in legislation or the administra
tion of justice.
As an inevitable consequence of
this policy, we see fin the statute
books of seven down trodden and
bleeding States, on every page and
almost in every line, the darkest re
cord of infamy and ignorance, the
blackest concoction of prejudice, hate,
bitterpess and villainy ever brewed by
fiendish Ingenuity or devised by hell
ish malice.
I say not as a partisan, but in the
fear of Almighty Cod, that one-third
of the members of the Legislature of
these States have been, and st ll are,
notorious thieves ; another one-third
have had a decided propensity tor
stealing, and the remaining one-third !
have had no encouragement to be !
honest. P. F. Smith.

igcificanc j of the Liberal fJoye
ce it.
Mr. Pendleton, of Ohio, made a
speech Monday night at a Liberal
meeting in Cincinnati. lie had just
returned from Europe, but his speech
shows that he, whilst abroad, had not
lost sight of the great political cam
paign in progress at home. In his
■ peeoh he referred to the significance
of the Liberal movement. lie said :
“The significance of this mighty move
ment is—we have been told-reconcili
ation and purification. Ik is this
and it is more. It is-we have been
told-a pure administration constitu
tional legislation. It is this, and it is
more. Its highest significance its chief
est value is, that beneath the strug
gles of party, and animating them too
there is in the American heart a love
of country, a spirit ot patriotism
which rises in the presence of the conn
try’s peril, and speaks to stillness every
aspiration except for its safety. That
spirit is abroad now’ ; it appeals to
you all. Democrats and republicans
alike. While it appeals to your pa
triotism, it pi’omises safety to your ma
terial interests ; to commerce, protec
tion abroad and freedom from oppres
sion at home ; to agriculture, exemp
tion from the weight of an unequal
taxation ; to capital, freedom from,
governmental interference and subjec
tion to the laws of trade ; to labor the
free enjoyments of the results of its
industry—and to all laborers, mer
chants, manufactures, capitalists, bank
ers, professional men, the rich re
wards to be gathered in the fields of
industry throughout a reunited and
peaceful country. That spirit will
know no weariness and seek no repose
except in triumph. It will move on
steadily to a great and crowning vic
tory. “Whosoever shall fall ou this
stone shall be broken, but on whomso
ever it shall fall it will grind him to
powder.”
Kissing in a Tunnel.— Gentle
readers, did you ever—l desire not to
be personal—but did you eve l -' kiss a
girl in a railroad tunnel 1 I never
did, but if the truth must be told, I’ve
wanted to awful bad.
Not that I have any idea that gob
ling a chaste salute within the dark
and narrow confines ot a tunnel reu
ders a kiss more deliciou? than if sto
len or taken with full permission any
where ; it is the novelty of the thing.
It is the darkness, the rank burglary,
the calculating as to time, the sudden
assault, the desperate defense, the
acute agony of the skirmish line of
hair pins, the carrying of the outer
work, the fierce struggle at the scar,
the glorious sweetness of the surren
der, and the eoudemnable meanness
afterward, of the victory. The hur
ried repairs, and the impossible at
tempt to appear placid and all serene
before the other passengers, I tell you
there’s a short life time passed in the
kissing of a girl hi a tunnel.
States’ Rights.
There is something reassuring in
the significant remark of Governor
Curtin, in his late speech. After as
cribing the war to the doctrine of
States Rights, he added : Now, I fear
my fellow-citizens 4 that the pendulum
has swung too far in the other direc
tion. (Applause.) And while we had
just reason to complain of the insidi
ous doctrine of States Rights, we
have aUo a just right to complain that
there is too much centralization of
government just now, overlooking the
just rights of the States.”
*This, remarks the Richmond Whig
is the conviction and confession of the
most eager and conspicuous of the
war-governors of the North. “The
pendulum has swung too tar in the
ether direction.” The central power
is absorbing all power and has become
a despotism, destructive of civil liber
ty. To arrest this despotism and res
tore the balance of the Constitution,
as originally organized, is now the
duty of the hour. This the great
war-Governor of Pennsylvania, in sub
stance proclaims. lie and his may
have wrought more mischief than
they can ever repair—for they have
übstitute Ifo ree for consent in the
basis of the government—but he sees
the evil, and will strive to mitigate its
efects.
With this alteration in the funda
mentals, our polities and statesman
ship can in the future be little more
than temporary expedients for tempo
ary relief, or to avert or mitigate tempo
ary evil. As .all our rights of person
property rest mainly on the vigor and
efficacy of State institutions, it is grat
ifying to know that in the future we
shall have such powerful coadjutors
as Governor Curtin in maintaining, as
tar a3 practicable, the vigor of these
institutions. Grant, st< lid, sordid and
grasping, is the direct antagonism of
States Rights, which represents civil
and individual freedom.
The Congie3sional Campaign.
The Democracy of the Fourth Dis
trict are now called upon to redeem
the people from the odium of being
represented in the forty third Con
gress Tv a Radical. It will require
their best effort to beat Bigby,
the man of position among all others
in the District who has been false to
his record and his race in the Soulii.
He has shifted the political scenes
quite adroitly within the past feT
years. lie opposed the adoption of
the present Radical State Constitution
giving the negroes the right to hold
office, both upon the stump and at the
ballot-box He is just such a charac
ter on the political stage that requires
a little “showing up” to see who he is
and what he is. He is one of your
regular “double-shuffles,” wiry, slip
ptry fellows, who will slip out of the
hands of any set of politicians like an
eel, or will skip about as adroitly as
an old flea when you attempt to put
your finger upon him, and hedosen’t
want you to point him out as he is
John Summerfield, known as Judge
Bigbv, is a man of ordinary talents,
keen and shrewd in a small way, po
litically, when he can place himself in
the way of political preferment—a
man dosen’t care a cuss for i.is politi.
cal record or consistency. To prove
our man from the record we simply
deal in facts as stubborn as the mule
species. In the month of of March,
1868, the amiable Judge was an aspir
ant for the Congressional nomination
conferred on one W. P. Edwards, and
was considerably disappointed in not
receiving it himself; but in order that
his lacerated feelings might be assu
aged, he became an aspirant, during
the following month, for the same
honor that was conferred upon Col. P.
W. Alexander by the Democratic
Congressional Convention at Colum
bus. His position before that Conven
tion was by his own consent, pledg
ing himself to the support of the noin
inee if he (Bigby) failed to receive it.
This last statement was made m a
private letter to a gentleman of this
town a few days prior to the Colum
bus Convention ; and, according to
his pledge, as we have been informed
be voted for Gordon for Governor
and Alexander for Congress.
In a speech which the amiable
Judge Bigby made in Carrollton, a
few days previous to the State elec
tion in 1868, he declared, in reply to
a question propounded by \V. W.
Morrell, a Radical, that if Bullock
should be elected, he (Bullock) would
bankrupt the State and plunder the
State treasury, a declaration that has
proven to be quite prophetic. But
since that time, the Judge has turned
Radical by which he secured a seat in
Congres, and in a long and tedious
speech made in his place in the House
of Representatives, defended the cor
rupt and theiving Administration of
Bullock. Not only is ho guilty of
this unpardonable political outrage;
but, turning upon bis people, the
white people of the South, he voted
with their enemies for the lvu-Klux
bill, and along with Akerman, the
the foulest of the foul calum
nators of the South, he favored
every measure that tended to crush
us.
In the same speech, John Summer
frnld, once the aimable Judge Bigby
of the Tallapoosa Circuit, in which
office it is believed he endeavored to
be a white man and to deal out jus
tice with even balance, in the most
glowing ardent style, and in language
that burned, his blood warmed up
with true Southern heat, ho declared
himself a white man and in favor of
“A White Man’s Government!” which
he gave as a reason for his then but
since disregarded sentiments. But in
less than ninety days the political
leopard changed his spots, and the
white man assumed the African hue,
politically, and obsequiously applied
to Bullock, then Governor, but now
a refugee from justice, tor the Judge
ship of the Tallapoosa Circuit.
Poor Bigby having “gone back”
upon a creditable record, and then
and there made common cause with
Bullock, Blodget, et al., since which
time, as a member of Congress, he
has united with the worst Radicals
in Congress in “going back” upon the
white people of his native State, he
has grown frqm bad to worse, politi
cally, until his former fronds have
quite forsaken him and despise his
miserable weakness and political men
dacity. Politically making common
cause with most ignorant and degra
ded element of society, he is now a
candidate of this element for a second
term in Congerss. When lie was a
candidate for the same position two
years ago, lie was supported by a
good many well meaning citizens who
then had confidence in him, but will
not vote for him now. It’ they do
then they are no better politically than
John Summerfield Bigby.
And Democrats of the Fourth Con
gressional District will you consent,
for such a man to represent you in
Congress, when you can elect such an
one as Henry R. Harris who has nev
er turned his back upon his own to
propitiate the favor of another race?
Not only is Mr. Harris not guilty cf
such miserable conduct, but he is just
as much the friend of the negro as
J. S. Bigby ; and we venture the ai
sertiou that his deeds of charity to
ward i them have been greater, in that
they were not prompted in the inter
est of his own political preferment.
Voters of the Fourth Congressional
District 1 rise up and scourge the po
litical chamelion, we mean John Sums
merfield Bigby, who takes his colors
from any political hue in order that
he may deceive, that lie may wreak
political vengence upon the people of
his native State, by voting for such
measures as the KuvKlux bills and
other Radical infamies.— La Orange
