AN ADDRESS DELIVERED BEFORE THE
ALUMNI OF BOWDON COLLEGE, JULY
BtII, 1873, BY G. C. TUMI.IN, ESQ.,
CARTERSVILLK, GEORGIA.
Mr. President and Gentlemen of
Vie Alumni Society:
After another year with the misfort
unes and uncertainties ot life, we
again return to visit these sacred
groves and to commune within these
hallowed halls. I congratulate you,
our dear, though unfortunate State,
and the Institution you represent,
because of the purpose that lias
prompted us to come together this
night. Despairing of my ability to
teach the old, or to classically repre
sent you, I am glad that those who
have called me to this task are yet
young-men, whose duties in life are
only beginning—whose work is yet
unfinished. The characteristics of the
age in which you live, are strikingly
different from any preceding you.—
The misfortunes through which we
have so recently past, the sudden
changes in the order of our civiliza
tion, all show, that the controlling in
liuence, the commanding power of our
country, rests with the educated in
tellects of the laud. Thought is the
Hercules of this age, and his strength
is equally a vigorous fact, whether it
be employed in thortling the lion of
his power, or cleaning out the Augean
stables ot accumulated social errors.
Whether civlization on the whole be
going backward or forward, the result
is the same to those, who insist on
standing still, they must be over
whelmed. That people, who Diojones
-like is now content with living in its
own tub, making no other demand
of the conquering power, except that
they stand out of its sunshine, will
soon find itself in hopeless darkness,
an object of contempt for its fall and
derision for its helplessness. Whether
those who have preceded you, have
done their duty, is not the question
for us to discuss. Let then the ether
days oi this literary festival, suffice
for the fascinations of rhetoric and the
cultivated figures of oratory, it ac
cords alike with the duties of our as
semblmg, and a sense of my own
convictions, t> deal with practical
thoughts, and to speak with “truth
and soberness.” In casting my eye over
the vast field of discussion which
might be appropriate on this occasion,
I have found none more congenial
to my taste, and I trust may meet
with your approbation, than “Our
Country’s Hopes,” In the discussion
of wjnch 1 propose to consider :
1. What are the resources and ad
vantages of the Southern States, and
principally those of our own?
2. How they are to be developed
and utilized, and your duty in its acs
complishment?
In the early colonization and subse
quant union of Georgia with her sis
ter States, there were many wise and
good men, who predicted that at not
a distant future, the Southern States
would surpass all others in population,
wealth and industry. Nor was this
prediction unreasonable. For the
areas of these States were most ex
tended, their soils most fertile, their
climate most genial, their products
most varied and valuable, their harbors
of commerce were as many, as wide
and deep, though undeveloped and ah
most unknown, their mountains, hills
and vallies were filled with gold, sil
ver, iron, lead and coal, and other
minerals, both accessible and in ex
haustless quantities. Why have not
their expectations been met? Why
have not our lands been kept in the
high state of cultivation, of which
they were susceptible, instead of the
deserted waste that now meets our
sight? Why have not the fires of furna
ces been kindled among our hills, and
the ores that lie hid in the bowels of
the earth, dragged from their dark
bed and made a source of wealth and
revenue to our State. Such wealth
as in other States, lies buried deep
and can be obtained only at immense
trouble and expense, can be lound
here upon the very surface. For out
ores throwing off the earthly covering,
| as if “to hear the zephyr and peep at
the sun,’’are still undisturbed. To many
of our best harbors the fierce blow
ing of the flying steamer is unknown.
Areas smaller than ours can boast
of more homes, soils less fertile pro
duce more fruits, climates less desir
able attract more people, than our
sunny skies. Why is it thus? Charge
not God, “for he doeth all things well,”
and for no people has he done more
! than for us. Nor can this failure be
charged to the white race, for this
earth can boast of no race superior
to the Southern people. Our failure
then must consist not in the absence
of natural gifts, but the manner in
which they have been used. From
this standpoint viewing our condition
- CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING, JULY, 25 1873.
in relation to other civilized peoples of
the age, we are compelled to attribute
this failure to our system of labor,
to the nature of those upon whom we
have depended for our wealth and
support. Our laborers have been ne
groes unlearned, illiterate, even pun
ishable by law for them to be otherwise
Unfortunate and dark are the hopes of
such a people. r lhe direct tendency
of such a system was to drive learn
ing and its educated followers from
the otherwise inviting field of action.
The duties of the laborers, being re
garded as too menial and degrading,
to be combined with education. Hut
such are not the teachings of nature and
nature’s God.
The iron ores alone of your State,
are an immense treasure and when
once fully developed, will become a
source of varied wealth and industries.
Compare the condition of Pennsylva
nia, before her iron, coal and slate in
tersts were developed and utilized,
with her present condition and you
have an example of the practical
suits of applied physical science and
enterprise. The iron and coal of
Great Britain have contributed more
towards her national greatness and
wealth than any other one element.—
The timbers of the north and west,
are fast being exhausted, while ours
are yet undisturbed, and surpassing all
others in quantity, quality and variety,
but soon they shall assume every
shape of* usefulness and beauty.—
Nothing is grander in the panora
ma ot the future of the South, than
are her water-powers; sufficient to
drive the machinery of the world, and
for successful use, no others are so well
suited. By some it has been argued that
our country being best adapted to ag
ricultural pursuits, it, was right to cul
tivate that interest in preference to
every other. A false idea indeed,
hut what have we accomplished in
this field ? Where are our educated
or scientific agriculturalists ? Where
can we find those, who are familiar
with the wants and necessities of our
first mother, upon whom we are de
pendant infants. You would think
strange of the physician, who would
administer to the wants of a patient,
without having a diagnosis of his
disease or any knowledge of the rem
edies the case demanded, and yet
with the same culpable ignorance, you
often administer to the wants of your
soils. The professed friends of agri
culture have in many instances been
the Cassiuses the Catos and Biutuses
that have mortally stabbed the Caesar
of their love. And when I look ups
on the “bleeding piece of earth,” when
I see the mantle rent by your daggers,
with stricken Antony I exclaim,
“ I am no orator ;
Hut as you knew me all, a plain blunt man.
For I have neither wit, nor words nor worth ,
Action nor utterance, nor pains of speech,
To stir men’s blood I only speak right on.
I teU you that which you yourselves do know
hew you sweet Caesars wounds, poor dumb
mouths,
And bid them speak for me.”
And your miserable wasted fields
are speaking. The remedies and stim
ulants you are ignorantly adminis
tering to a famished soil j are speaking
in tongues that should move the very
soil upon which you rely „to rise and
mutiny.
11. Let U3 in the second place con
sider how these resources are to be
developed and utilized, and your du
ty in its accomplishment. Having
seen the cause of our short comings
in the past, we are now to consider
how these defects are to be remedied.
We have been loosed from the neces
sity of having ignorant laborers. No
longor shall we be compelled to say
“ ita lex script aest.” Now we Have
an opportunity of extending to the
masses, an education that will prepare
them for usefulness, rendering the
educated and scientific men active
agents, iu our country’s development.
It our own people are not educated
and enabled to convert into power
and wealth the natural resources, we
possess, other educated people -will
come into our midst, and appropriate
them, rendering us dependent upon
them, and subjecting us to a disgrace
to be dreaded worse than death itself.
Your primary duty, as well as all
others allied with yon, is to exercise
determined courage, to build up our
Universities and Colleges, to provide
a liberal and thorough system of ed
ucation, that the worthy youths of our
land, however poor they may be, shall
have au opportunity of demonstrating
to the world the intellect that often
lies in the ranks ot poverty. How
unreasonable it is with the wealth we
possess, that we should decline in the
order of civilization ? How'uimeoes
sary it is for us to occupy a stand
point. We can revert to the age call
ed by the Poets the golden age, or
that state of civilization when man
alone was a keeper of flocks, wander
ing from place to place, when stern
labor had not drawn the dividing line
between mine and thine. With such
only should the car of progress be
staid. In another age than that we
live, the decrees of Jehovah have al
ready gone forth, that by labor we
must live. Education is the lever
upon which the machinery of our pro
gress depends. It is either general or
special, liberal or professional. That
is, general or liberal education trains
the mind without regard to the par
ticular calling or pursuit in life for
which the individual is intended.
While students ot such a course, their
destiny in life is supposed unknown
as yet. The characteristic and main
idea of this course of study is chiefly,
disciplinary. It is the key that opens
the door to any department of knowl
edge, to which the studeut comes to
apply himself especially. As evidence
of the urgent necessity of this kind of
training, how slow would be the pro
gress of him who comes to the study
of law, or medicine, unfurnished with
the previous knowledge of language
obtained in the usual course, through
study of the ancient classics, in con
nection with our own vernacular
tongue, a knowledge so necessary for
penetrating readily, through words to
things and for illuminating the techni
calities of the sciences. It is far from
the design of this education to dis
courage the acquisition of knowledge.
It knows that in the act of acquir
ing the mind is benefitted. “To narrow
education down to the standard of
mere utility, a means only of attaining
that which promotes our physical
well being, satisfies the craving
ot our lower nature, which robs it of
its chief luster, its crowning glory.”—
Many have been the benefits accruing
to mankind from the discoveries and
works of those who were pursuing
knowledge for its own sake, and not
actuated by views of utility in the or
dinary sense. Newton in the pro
duct ion of his immortal work, the
Principia dwelt in the regions of pure
abstract truth, aiming only to erect a
great fabric of science. This course
is indispensible to our colleges, but to
each of them should be added polytee
nic schools, courses of study, abstract
and applied, scientific, regular and
elective, graduates being not only
universal but special experts. Shame
upon the State whose son3 must go
elsewhere to obtain an education. Sure
it is, that all cannot be professional
men; for of such the reapers are al
ready many and the harvest poor.—
Before any development can properly
begin, we must have scientific naviga
tors, machinists, architects, chemists,
geologists, miners, agriculturists and
engineers, in all of which departments
the South is most lamentably defi
cient.
Nothing is so productive of idle
ness as ignorance, and nothing so fa
tal to society as a race of drones and
idlers. The begining of all im
provement rests in the enlargement
of your system of education.—
Heavy is the duty here resting up
on you gentlemen, to lend a vigorous
hand to this mirpose. Various respon
sibilities shall devolve upon you in
the different walks of life, and none
more important than that of eradica
ting past errors, burying them with
their authors. There are some who un
derstand the duties and necessities of
the hour, but alone they are too weak
to perfect the desired change. Our
representatives, our leading men must
appreciate the fact, that no people are
impoverished by lending aid to the
diffusion of knowledge. Os all things
ignorance is most costly.
What has long been the secret
power of England ? You will say her
well balanced Government, her im
partial administration ot law, her na
vy, her material improvements, her
vast industries, her educated people.
But whence came those who direct
her Government, administer her laws,
who buffd and command her navy,
who multiply her industries, who de
velop her resources? There stands
the errand answer—Cambridge and
Oxford. And is England oppressive
upon her people because upon each
of these she annually bestows two mil
lions of dollars. Prussia annually ap
propriates to nine of her Universities,
more than one million thalers. I3 she
unwise or wasteful in this provision?
Massachusetts has one University
with an endowment of over two mil
lion dollars. Some of the other
Northern States have liberal endow
ments, while Georgia has given
neither her University nor any of her
Colleges one dollar. And how does
she compare in population and wealth
with Massachusettes, Connecticut
and New York. With such examples
before you, why are you so blinded ?
An education having been obtained,
the practical duties of l.fe have only
begun. The gladiator nofir comes forth
upon the field of action ready for life’s
conflict. Active exertion, labor, isat
once incumbent upon him, that lie
may discharge the purpose of his
creation, and his duty to society.—
Indeed labor is the only talisman to
success. Action, will, application, is aD
that Georgia needs to make her the
pride of her sons and the glory of
the States. With a soil susceptible
of ti e highest culture, with a climate
unsurpassed for salubrity, with a peo
ple homogeneous in their wants and
necessities, Georgia stands to day
in these respects without a peer or a
parellel, yet she is laggard in the
great march of improvement. Why is
it thus written of you ? Are you de
generated sons of your illustrious
sires ? The same advantages that
they employed and greater still are
yours. Up then ye men and women
and in the name of all that is bright
in the past or hopeful ill the future
with determined will.
“Strike one more blow for Georgia’s weal ;
Strike with the plow the fertile field ;
Strike with the factories busy wheel ;
Strike with the merchants thrifty zeal,
Strike oft, strike long, strike all who feel
Proud of her rivers and her rills,
Proud of her vallies and her hills ;
Proud of the wealth her soil contains,
Proud of her grain and cotton fields,
Proud of her women her greatest pride,
Lovelier than all the world besides.
Then will her bonds indeed be riven,
'Then will new hope, new life he given,
To Georgia all who wherever they roam,
Will point with pride to their dear Georgia
home,”
You are the pioneers in the great
march of improvement. Bowed not
down with the misfortune of the past
you bring to the discharge of your clus
ties firm resolves, resolute wills and
manly hearts. Be not ashamed of
the work before you. Georgia calls
and you must obey, and in the field,
in the work shop, at the bench, or
the bar, in the laboratory or in the
forum show by your perseverance,
your intelligence and your will that
you are equal to the task. For what
should we despise labor? Go read the
history ot the first labor on record.—
There vou see “In the beujimmn: God
created the heavens and the earth.”
Nor was he ashamed of his work, but
while viewing its completeness pro
nounced it good. Labor is not a curse
attendent upon Adam's tall. God did
not intend in creating man that he
should sit an idle admirer of Eden’s
beauties, for he was enjoined to labor
in that garden, “to dress and to keep
it.” No briars nor brambles was to
grow among its buds and blossoms;
no foul weeds among its plants that
were unfolding to him their beauty
and their loveliness. With this Divine
injunction came the duty, hence the
dignity of labor. By it Gallileo wove
for himself a chaplet of stars and Her
sehel wreathed his brow with a cor
onet bright as the satellites he discov
ered. By it Fulton ascended on
wings of steam the rugged eminence
of worldly renown, and Morse with
his electric rapidity transmitted his
name to coming generations. By it
the golden gates of success are un
barred and the avenue opened to these
inviting heights where wealth, honor
and fame await the successful comers.
It is the key that will unlock to us the
treasures we desire.
As another duty closely identified
with those already stated, is that of
studying the Government, the funda
mental Jaws under which you live and
act. Be not backward to take a be
coming and manly stand on the po
litical questions that may and will
agitate your country. Shrink not
from the name of politician. It is
true “modern degeneracy” has al
most deprived the term of its meaning.
Who but you shall restore it. There is
nothing that deals with interests so
important to mankind. “ What kind
ot Government is best suited for a
people ; what laws and policies best
suited to their necessities, how the
resources of a people shall be devel
oped, bow their safety peace and
prosperity are to be secured, how the
rights and liberties of citizens are to
be protected.” These are some of
the questions it propounds. In the
whole range of human knowledge,
there is no subject that exceeds it in
importance. In studying the Govern
ment established by your fathers, sen- 1
timents of the highest emotion must
be inspired. In wondering at it, and
while admiring it, Lord Brougham,
without any extravagance in thought
or language, said of it as a whole, that
it is the very greatest refinement in
social policy to which Any state of ■
circumstances has ever given rise, to
which any age has ever given birth.”
For this structure we are indebted to
no one so much as Thos. Jefferson,
and to it he looked as he said “ as the
worlds best hope.”
Bv a resolute and faithful discharge
of your duties, your Georgia shall be
greater and more powerful than that
enjoyed by those who have preceded
you. Crawford, Troupe, Berrien
Lumpkin and Nesbit are gone ! Who
shall fill their places. It is to you we
must look. What a high and holy
destiny awaits you, who shall dictate
the noble sentiments, and grand theo
l ies of a once happy and united Gov
eminent, elaborated m the brain of a
Crawford and a Troupe ? When
the affairs of State shall culminate,
when pen and ink shall fail to accom
plish their appropriate duties, who of
you shall have the boldness to say
with the intrepid Troupe, “argument
j is exhausted, stand by your anus.’*
Who shall in the forum, upon the
hustings, and in the Senate chamber,
equal the matchless eloquence of a
Berrien? Who shall stretch forth
their Brierian arms and grasp the vast
territory of our beloved State, and
fill every home, hall and mansion, with
the truths of Christian morality and
legal lore, as they fell from the lips of
the lamented Lumpkin and Nesbit?
who shall mount Parnassus and sing
the sweet song of the gifted Charlton?
“ My native State my cherished home,
Hallowed alike by smile and tear,
May glory over thee build her dome,
And fame her temples rear”
Elliot, Andrews, Mercer, Dagg and
Dawson, are gone. Their lives were
as spotless “as icicles distilled by
the frosts of purest snow that hung
from Diana’s Temple.” Who shall
in their stead teach the erring, reclaim
the fallen and direct the multitude iu
the ways of life ? You are the Al
las upon whose shoulders rests the
present and future of your State. Be
not discouraged *at the bereavements
of the past, or the forebodings of the
future. The night through which we
have been passing has been darkness,
equal to that described by Byron, as
coming upon the material world:
“ When the bright sun was extingu : shcd and
the stars,
Did wander darkling in the eternal space,
Rayless and pathless, and the icy earth,
Swung blind and black’ning in the moonless
air.”
Thankful should we be that now
we only linger in the twilight, and
through its mantling gloom a feeble
star sends forth a glimmering ray. It
is the star of duty. Follow it, it may
prove the Bethlehem of your deliver
ance, Borrowing an illustration from
an eminent divine, “ Let this
countryman be Israels last night in
Egypt.” Prepare the paschal lambs,
sprinkle your doorposts, and with
sandals on your leet and staff in hand,
begin your march from this land of
bondage and slavery. The perils, the
threatening dangers of the wilderness
are great, but if you are true to your
selves, and to your fathers who have
gone before you, true to your State,
you too shall commemorate your exo
dus from the evils that threaten you,
and sing in the fullness of your joy
your “passover song of deliverance.”
There shall be a happy and rich
realization of “ Our Country's Hopes.”
And fellow Alumni amid the green
fields and rich pastures of your cara
van, when in plenteous contentment,
financial indepen lenee, intellectual
wealth and social refinement you shall
dwell in fellowship and peace with
those you love, may you exclaim with
feelings of triumphant pride: “This
is my State, whose power is heralded
from her mountains, and whose great- ;
ness is echoed from her valleys and
her hills.”
Mr. Davis and ihs Former Slaves.
—The St. Louis Christian advocate
relates the following among the pleass
ant incidents, of the recent visit of
ex-President Davis’ visit to that city :
“While Mr. Davis was being called
on by crowds of respectable citizens,
and receiving manifestation of respeet
from hundreds of the most prominent
and worthy ladies and gentlemen of
the city, there occurred a little episode
of a very pleasing character. One
night, during his stay at the Planters’
House, he was serenaded bp some col
ored people who were formerly his
slaves. After their dulcet strains had
ceased, Mr. Davis called them into his
room, where, after cordial greetings on
both sides, and a little chat about old
times, he made each a handsome pres
ent. At another time during his stay
he was called on by an old aunty who
had been the nurse of his oldest child.
The affection that the ex-slaves man
ifested for their former master, and
the interest which he manifested for
them and their future .welfare, were
really affecting.
W "
Hon. Joseph Mayo, of Rich
mond, Virginia, in his address at the
Lexington Military Institute, on the
2d instant concluded a spirited eulogy
on Lee and Stonewall Jackson with
this prediction:
“Such, at least, is our appreciation
of these great men, and such the trib
ute ot applause their virtues have re
ceived from countless disinterested
voices on the other side of the Atlan
tic, that I here venture the prediction
that, in less than twenty years, some
orator from the land of Edward Ever
ett will, on the floor of Congress, with
out fear of obloquy or rebuke, give
to these illustrious sons of Virginia
the full measure of respect and admir
ation which they have so justly de
served.”
