TS«• i11.• • r the tear ol the gallows, the ' hot, or the U.yonet. will ever cause 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 1 n.': on tins point : 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 ami Cod will b‘ -s "and r. w • ;sourj eff.iris.

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.
