me ti dost rt my people, forsake this
bright southern laud which gave me
boil*, or deter me from the expression
ol try honest sentiments under any
circumstances:, Some young Southern
K dic.ils, who have recently addressed
you, say that the Sherman bill, which
they arc advocating, would disfranchise
them, and, hence their efforts were
purely unselfish, whilst at the time
their applications to be relieved from
the disabilities oi that measure are
pending at Washington, and they are
doubtless expecting to call on you for
your voles at the next election for this
Kt..!e
i will in re -state my own position

i u rve that hill is unconstitutional
- ' : hi. ve it is oppressive to a certain
Has-; of our best men.
' soon as that bili passed Congress,
a nigh I'•id'iai official with the kind
est iei lings lor me personally, said to
me: “Y On were not an original seces
sionist. (’ ingress will remove your
and- diddies under the Sherman bill.
' on must send oil an application, and
i will Approve it, and help you to get
i through.l replied that the Repitb
-1 -an party hid no right under the
Constitution to disfranchise rue, and I
would never ask lor relief at their
h olds, and that is my position to-night.
Th honorable Senator from Mass a
<l: 1 its has said some things which
- vim e good feelings on his part, and
which l approve. He has also said
ii uv things from which lin list dis
s nt. at: ! made many assertions which
the political history, and particularly
th i of our recent unfortunate war,
■ rove sto be untrue. He commences I
■ :h the history of slavery in the
f uiidi since he came upon the stage of |
eii-m, and endeavors to fix the re- j
s, ’ii.-ibiliiy of the t xislenec of that in- |
sutution upon the Southern people,
with all of its horrors as depicted by
bis vivid i;n: inatioti. I will carry the
gendeman l ack to the starting point of
the institution on this continent, and
beiore 1 take mv seat 1 wili prove to
you that the North is responsible f<>r
the existence of slavery with whatever
*-v Is attached to it; and I am frank to
sav Uiat there were features in slavery
wnich were wrong.
Man-, years ago, mv friends, before
the l;.tiled /States had an existence as
a nation, yuur forefathers inhabited the
'allies ol y our race—Mrica. The
Nor n people, w no ware then as
now a commercial people, owning
many sips. went to tho coast of Africa
n • oought some, and side or kidnap-
P your grand-! niters and mothers,
; • iced them to tiie hold of their vessels j
i:i g r it numbers, and in chains took i
s -me ft-w'Ho t.'i* Northern homes, and i
-' Os most of them to be sold to thej
• •on'horn j . -He for sk.vpj-. ] M this!
' had V aluable co-laborers tu
’ ’ i- -dsb and Spanish. By this;
•e• in ! la.i dcoii they made large!
Mims of money.
fbe Southern people, ns a general!
r and . ware opposed to the slave trade, j
1 and w-i n tne Colonies threw off the ;
' ’ - v< *d (.»• so i-.ain, ti e - Southern ;
l a:,vj.c<; l!;v:u, and one of the
I principle reasons which they published
to the world in justification of their
cause, was that tiie Mother Country
had imposed slavery and the siave
tradf_upon them against their wishes.
When our independence was ac-
and \ve formed a Union of
ll.e s.,. lllh was , ljn
posed to the sl«»' e traue, ... , w
have then been declared piracy, an,,
half of your race in the United States
would not have been here now, hut in
Africa; but the Northern men engaged
in the trade found it to he so profitable,
and so entirely tree from any con
scientious scruples were they, that
1 ihev insisted that their pious operations
l should continue twenty years longer,
j and the South v ielded. These slave
j traders invested their money in lands.
- irmises an-J uvr.cr property INortfi.
w ftich made many of their grand chil'
ilrt-n or great grand children rich ; and
some of whom ate now leading lie
puldicans.
The slaveholders of the Northern
j Stales did the same tiling in most in
stances by sending their slaves to
V irginia and other Southern States and
selling them when their slave labor
became less, profitable in a cold climate
than white labor, and have since
amused themselves by abusing the
.Southern people as slave drivers—and
the Senator, the descendant of these
mm, is here to night reminding you of
the wrongs you have received at the
hands of your former owners, and ad
vising you to avoid political alliances
with \ our Iriends and neighbors, and to
seek an alliance with people in listatu
States, the Republicans of the North.
I repeat, that the conscientious scruples
ol the North was not seen cropping out
until they had your race in their pock
ets. wheie they have taken good care
to kti p you ever since.
There are many good people at ihe
North who are your friends, and who
have never engaged in the slave trade,
owned slaves or approved of slavery.
The same can he said of the South,
and if let alone by tiie North that class
would have been much larger in the
South. More slaves have been freed
by the act of iheir owners in the- South
than at the North. George Washington
owned about one thousand, winch he
freed at his death. Mi. Randolph aid
the same. General Oglethorpe oppos
ed slavery in Georgia. There is a
man on ibis stage who knows that 1
had an angrv controversy many years
ago in th is city lor endorsing ileiirv
Clay’s emancipation scheme for Ken
tucky. lie was mv political leader, 1
never knew him tu do wrong, but 1
fear we will never look upon his like
again.
The gentleman from Massachusetts
says you ought to identify yourself
with the Radical party of the North
because they have waded through a
bloody war of four years to set you
free, to give you the right to sit upon
juries, ride on railroads, testify as wit
m sses in courts and much else. I
deny every assertion iie has made on
these points, and challenge him to tin
proof. He who says tha> this war was
commenced hv the North to set \ou
tree and confer on you tiie rights which
you now enjoy, falsifies the history of
the country ; not intention-allv, I hope.
The Government of the United States,
during the war, again and again declar
ed most solemnly that this war was not
commenced or being waged for con
quest, or with a view of interfering
with our property in slaves in the
Slates. Mr. Lincoln urged us to re
turn to the Union, pledging the Gov
ernment to receive us most cordially
and give slavery its protection in the
States. We were threatened with
emancipation if we did not come back.
In one band the Government offered
us “Union and Slavery,” and in the
other was ••rebellion and emancipa
tion.” llavinggoue to war on principle,
the South chose the latter. No man
knows this better than the honorable
Senator. Nor will he or Genet al
Swayue, who is on tiie stand, deny the
assertion that l am now going to make,
that we could have gone back in the
Union and held you as our staves to
day. You are not indebted to the
North or the South for your freedom,
but to God. Instead of abusing us you
ousrht to remember that this rebellion
winch you are taught to despise, by
your enemies and ours, who only come
amongst you for y our votes, was an
instrument in the hands ol God for your
deliverance, so far as mortal eye can
divine the purposes of the Creator.
The Southern people do not envy
you your freedom. They would not
restore you to bondage it they could.
They* have your well-b« ing at heart. 1
did not tire a gun lor slavery. More
thap half the Southern army never
owned a slave. Hardee, Cleburne, and
many oiheis signed a petition long br
fore the war closed, for your freedom
and to afford you an opportunity to
volunteer, and assist your white friends
of the South m achieving Southern in
dependence.
President Davis recommended this
course, and I. in the theatre, in tiu
oitv, endorsed his policy in the pres
ence of a very large assembly, ami
stated that 1 would take great pleasure
in commanding colored troops. You
acted well your part during that unfor
tunate struggle, for which you deserve,
and have the giatitude of every S .uili
ern man and woman in our midst.
The gentleman says thatthe Mexican j
war was brought on and advocated by j
Mr. Calhoun for the purpose of in- j
creasing the area of freedom. No man j
ought to know better than the honored j
representative of Massachusetts that 1
the statement is untrue. Mr. Calhoun,
and also Mr. Clay, the great Son.uem
giants alive at the time, opposed the
war. Mr. Calhoun was to the last the
bitterest opponent of luot war—pre-
dicting as he did the disastrous results |
upon the peace of the country. In
stead ol that war being waged for sla- j
very it was very evident, «s the result )
proved, that any territory adjoining us :
j which couhLbe acquired would he free
territory. That war gave to the North
Calihnuia, Utah and Ntw Mexico.
Though only a boy, I followed the old
through that war, with many
section wT,‘<V\ l L a .? and men from an
al Honor of our com lh f a tiom
Again as to how you became f *-*e U 'pj |(1
North aided to free you with ba, (
and by .Military Proclamations only a.|
they believed it would injure us and
raise you up a haside element in our I
midst; and seemingly making your
welfare a secondary consideration. —
To rentier this act of theirs valid and
constitutional, it was necessary that we
should act. We called together our
conventions and without hesitation
made you constitutionally free forever.
We also gave you die right to testify in
cases where you were interested, and I
advocated in this /State Boise your
right to testify in all cases.
You now enjoy many privileges here
not enjoyed by your race in the North
ern Siates. As the genL!em' i n has con
gralu’ated you upon your improved
condition here, and created still greater
expectations for your future political
and social relations in the South, let
| me tell you w hat great bles.-ings the
North has conferred upon your race
even in his <*wn State.
First, until very recently, although
your race at the North are liee. and
have the advantages ol the free school
system of which he’ boasts, and lew- in
numbers, yet whilst ydur numbers rap
idly increased as slaves in ihe hands of
cruel masters referred to by him, vet
wifi lion at the North they have di
minished, vour race have been and are
still excluded Imm Northern hotels,
steamboat cabins, railroad ears, am!
places of ainusf ment. They have been
frequently expelled from such places
and sometimes mobbed for claiming the
rights ol white | r-ople. And what has
been the resuit of ever) effort on their
,iart to obtain redress and establish
their rights hv law. They have in
every instance, (unless it be very re
cently) sig*ually lailed. The courts of
the country were against them. J saw
in Notl hern newspapers, and 1 believe
it to be true, for I have no where seen
it contradicted, that about the last, of
JBOG, or the first of the present year,
Frederick Douglas, a mulatto of New
York, who is satd to be a highly edu
cated and polished man, who conducts
himselt with great propriety every
where. traveled as far west as St. Louis,
and was there and everywhere on his
route refused admission into the first
class hotels of the North and West.
Nearly every Northern Stale has dis
criminated against them as jurors, w it
nesses and heretofore at the ballot box.
They no where at the North enjoy, in
facu, ail the rights of white people, and
in most States North they are by 7 local
laws denied political equality at the
present time. Onenr inou States wlent
so I >r as to deny them settlement with
in tlietr boundaries altogether.
Y on have been reminded by the gen
tleman of pecuniary favors conferred ;
the supplies voteu you by his parly,
and the Btuvau uutl r Gen. Swayue in
Alabama, as another reason why von
should act with the Republicans. 1 ln
iieve Gen. Swayne to i,e a friend ol
yours. 1 believe the gentleman who
has just addressed you is also a
friend, for they have no cause to he
otherwise, but no hetivr friend than 1
•am and many other Southern men.—
Many ofus have been educated bt your
labor, and 1 hope 1 shall live long
enoiiyhtn pay you back v. hh compound
interest in promoting education amongst
you, which I tell you is the only hope
of vour race.
I requested that Gen. Swayne In
continued over us, for although vve see
tilings from different stand points, yet,
I believe he wants tj do right, and 1
never think less ol anyone for an hon r
f-st difference of opinion merely .
Bui however worthy ti e motive or
the act or: the part of the .Government
m assisting you through the Bureau,
and lor which the Senator, amongst
other reasons, claims your votes for the
' Republican party, it is an undeniable
fact that the same party discriminates
against you m the way oi taxes on cot
ton, and in this way wring from the
sweat ofyour brow .me hundred dollars
to every one received by you through
lit is same Bureau.
With tnese facts staring you in the
face, which the honorable Senator will
not deny, what is the obvious object of
bis visit South ? It is this, my fnenJs.
His party is in power and ne is here
aiding to keep them so. lie is hereto
form a political alliance with you aud. ;
what few whites can be induced to
join him. They 7 want office, they want
spoils and they want to retain power.
It is quite pie tsant and profitable to
them. It ts uot because they love you
better than other people. I warn you
amiiiit him nd all like him, at home
or from aht ml.
\Y trat claim have the men in our
midst to your confidence, who profess
to be Radicals, and advise yon to join j
that party ? I see several of them be
fore me now 7 oti the stand. Mr. E. H. j
Metcalf is one, who within a few days
p st has written a letter saying, amongst
oilier things, that the Sou heru men
opposed to the organization, to which
he belongs, have been legislating since
the war to overtax the poor and deprive
ihe negro of his wages. He ought to
have known that these statements were
untrue. He has lived here many 7 y ears.
Ilis brave sons were in out army, and
I never heard of his paying any negroes
their w ages until they were made free.
I have been informed, and believe, that
Mr. Metcalf, vho is a good man and
citizen, did nu write the letter referred
t°. . I
A secomf is Judge Felder, m v old
(rend ; w hat is his record l lie, before
the -wa?, a> Senator front Montgomery
county, Tl I am not mistaken, voted lor
a law to enslave, every tree negro iu
the Stare Who did not leave by a
tain time, and to prevent any more be
ing made free. Under this law Jack
Abercombie, his mother and sisters,
went into slavery. I tried to save them
from the operations of the law and
failed.
( He now claims tube yo-ur champion
-and invites you to join his party,
v f (Jv Senator, in Ins last sp-.-erh,
which m ,n > s,lia 'Ae ' ucVvt
behue heal’d of. They may be pica
yune to him way up in Massachusetts,
but deeply concern us here. F.e may
consider the course of our local Re
publican leaders here, the gentleman
referred to, as unimportant, and it may
and doubtless is true, that lie never
heard of them or the if political record
before. But l hope, Senator, you *• ill
be patient and wait on those gentle
men. They are young Republicans;
dike young birds just beginning to
leather, tliev have the will and will lly
alter awlnle, and you will here from
them. For
“Wi en young converts first begin tc sing—
Tilth- happy sqU.b s are on the wing.
There is stiil another class that for
vour own sakes and lor humanity s
pake, 1 wish most especially to warn
vou against. 1 mean those mean
wretches who, without employment,
or character at home, come into our
midst and endeavor stealthily and often
at the hour of mid-mglii to poison your
nijnds and embitter your hearts against
the white race —your neighbors. Any
man, wTi.'te or biack, who does this to
procure office,’ or tlnough any other
motive, is a hem 1 l» Human shape, and
the execrnrt.hm ol mankind. Il
tins is persisted in what will be the
result? “A conflict of races of’course.”
From which God deliver us. !See the
riot which occurred in New Orleans—
while men got it up, and when the
danger became imminent many of them
fled, only a few of their number were
killed, but some fifty or sixty inistiS'
pecting freedmen were reported killed. 1
A man mean enough to bring about
and encourage such a state of affairs as
a conflict of races in our streets, when
the hour o! danger arrives, could not j
be overtaken by the fastest cur in our j
city.
It occurs to me just at this moment,
that there is another portion of the '
honorable Senator’s last or second i
speech, to which I will briefly allude,
lie savs 1 have mentioned some things
he never before heard. In that he has
none the advantage of me. for he has
spoken of many things that he did that
1 have not heard of before. He boasts
es what the Northern army did, but I
did not know ha was with them. It is
only very recently that lie invaded the
South. He reminds me of me hold:
frontiersman, who, when the bear en- !
iered the cabin door quite unexpectedly, i
ran up into the loft. The good wife, '
having no means of escape, used the j
pitchfork very freely, lulling the bear, 1
the husband in the loft erving out all
the while, at the top <d his voice, “Lay
on. Nancy ! lay on, Nancy!” When j
assured, that the hear was quite dead, j
he descended from his sale re treat,.j
walked up to the side of his u d'e, and, I
with the air of a game cock, exclaimed, 1
“Nancy, ain’t ve brave ?” The gen- ;
tie-man can afford to boast now ol what j
we did!
in conclusion, let me say, that you
liavc known me from my boyhood. I
have always done the best 1 could for
you, and am still your friend. Al
though I have been deprived of citizen
ship, yet 1 love my country and her
people, and. I will remain with you.—
When I took the oath to support the
Constitution and Union o! the Stales, I
did so after much reflection and in
perfect good faith. I did so with a
determination that I would do all that l
could to promote the peace and pros
perity of my v\ hole country, and
particularly your race, who were and
are now so much in need of instruction.
Their is a minister (Rev. Jas. New
man) of the gospel in this city who
knows that during the war and at a
time when the South expected to be
successful, that we pledged ourseil one
to the other, to give the energies of our
iite to the ioij rovemeni of your condi
tion. Tilings have since changed. 1
am prostrated by the war, but I will
assist you all 1 can and tun doing so
now and encouraging others to do
something. My heart was made glad
a few days since when 1 heard that a
Southern mail, notwithstanding our
impoverished condition, had donated a
piece ol land in tnis city lor a school
house for your children, and upon
which, 1 learn the (Government pro';
poses putting up the building. Rut for
the excitement and prejudice on the
question engendered by politicians,
North and Suuth, in tore the war, your
condition would have
been a, much better one than h is. 1
beiieve you will bear me,out in the as
sertion that your. former Southern
owners treated yon quite as well as the
Northern met. did, before tftevsold you
to us, and as well as those who settled
in our midst and owned slaves before
the war. Your own observation and
experience teaches you that the latter
class, whether from Massachusetts or
any other New England State, were,
as a general rule, more exacting than
our own Southern born people.
My father hired out slaves for many
years for an estate, and told me, what I
knew to be true, that those sh.ves nev
er did rethse to lire with or run a wav
front any but two men, and oue of these
was Imm Connecticut, ami the other
from some other Northern State.—
When you return to your homes, he
industrious, sober, ami economical,
save your wages and buy and 'adorn
your homes, however stna'l, t r cite
your children, ci .ivt.ie peace v. *th all

Our e teemed friend and brother. F. S. Fitch,
j of that sprightly little tri-weekly, the Griffin
Sfnr, passed up the 8 ale Road, bound west,
a few days since, taking observation of places
and objects which lay along hisroute. lie made
the loliowing in regard to our prosperous lit
tle village, which wt clip from the Slur of the
i 21st inst:
‘•Oar Ars v illte also sm p'-ars to be looking up.
Quite. a tiiimuer ol good substantial houses
b vr bee , i .ill., among which we notice—
close to t; • Railroad —a very stout looking
• h-Jill, v we hop,- our fr enu, Bam Smith,
ol the Ex, ress, will never get into, as we doubt
iiis ahi iiy to get out.”
A!, ! b/othci Fitch, you hadn't mter lie in
sinuating that way. You’ll make some of us
up-country hoosiers believe that jou have had
sortie experience in getting out of sOch place?,
and then it don’t sound well for one to he dis
coursing about such places just as he starts out
upon a t ip, particularly at this season of the
year when money is so scarce. B.t people
wi ! talk about that that bears mo-T heavily
upon their minds. Look out, brother Fitch,
all hotel keepers may not advertise as liber
ally as the American ir. Atlanta, or you might
have to take, lodgings in one of those log con
corn-. It is perfectly rig ht, however, for trav
ellers to always have an eye to tb s ir stopping
places. Stop and see us. brother Fitch, on
your return home, and tell us how you ccine
out.
Corn aad Bacon,—l propose to
furnish Farmers of Bartow County with Corn
and Bacon to be paid for in Wheat by the Ist
day of July next. For further paiticulars ap
ply to me at Cartersville or wherever you may
chance to see me. W. L. GOODWIN.
