Tho solution of the knotty problem of
our political future, ie instpciubly con
nected with tho character and amount
of tho labor which cun be made availa
ble at tho South.
This question nasiimo* giester signifi
cance when wo contcinpluto tbs fuct
patent upon its face, that the supply of
operatives Is daily deereanng.
The following ennsw may in part ac
count for a result so deplorable :
1st. The Inducements offered l»y
Government for entering and settling
the public lands. Th!s cause alone has
attracted a heavy emigration to Florida,
as will be soon from the statement ip tho
Tullnhaaseo papers that 8000 acres of
tho public domain within n short period,
havu been entered in 00 acre lots by
heads of families. Owing to her genial
climate and unooenpied - territory, this
Stale ulnne baa bold its own, nod even
increnHcd in tho number of its blnck
population since the war.
2d, The extraction of a vast amount
of ftmah labor from tho field. Freedom
has begotten new wonts and enlargud
ideas; and the freedman always imita
tive, scorns to imposo menial ntficos up-
his wife if it can possibly X avoided
Hence our negro quarters nre filled with
an idle hordo of women, who contribute
nothing to the material resources of the
oonntry, and occasion frequent brawls
and much mischief among themselves
8d. The growing desire universally, to
abandon lucrative situations na farm la
borers to sot up for themselves, oftimes
upon pout snd contracted parcels of
iund, and without team or onpitel. The
writer saw numerous instances of this
description on the soa cpqst of Georgia
Many families were bnrely able to vege-
tolo, snd some in n stato of starvation,
because of this impatience of restraint,
nnd anxiety to he w holly/res and indo
pendent. He would add ulso that crime
ami theft were usually the legitimate
fruits of these reckless expeiiinonts. To
ow n a gm nnd posses* u moiety of lond is
tho acmo of a negroes ambition. And
just bore wo would state tho conviction
that one of tho greatest obstacles to our
permanent improvement as n people, will
ho tho location of innumerable blnck
sqmitters in our midst, constituting a lire
mono population of tho worst possible
description. Tho acquisition of hind by
tho freed men in their present condition,
will be a calnmity to both races. For
tho whites will thereby not only be de
prived of their productive labor, hut the
sumo will also be almost entirely lost to
the country. History furnishes one un
varying record to prove that the negro,
when emancipation is noo.ordcd to him
in an ignorant and semi barbarous state,
left to himself retrogrades instead of-ad
vances in wculth and civilisation. Ja
maica and St. Domingo both, uttest the
noourscy of this fltntemont, ns well ns
the languishing colonies of Liberia nnd
Siorra I.eor.e in their own native Afri
ca. Nor docs tho North itself afford ev
ids lice to tho contrary. A dor the lapse
of noar a half century what is the status
of tho negro in “God’s country” as they
sacriligiously term it f Bejected, de
spised, denied almost universally tho
right of suffrage, occasionally slaughter
ed on mass by an infuriated mob, placed
in tbo van to be buiehcrod at Battery
VVngncr, tlieae peculiur objects of ohris.
thin charity I bnvo steadily faded from
oxistonce, until now they number but u
handful. Many of these may bo seen in
the streets of Boston nnd Now York,
fishing in the gutters for the offal and
garbage deposited there by the oyster
collars and eating saloons,
Ilcnco us beforo asserted, the black
mao has not yet been sufficiently while-
teathed and civilixod to become thrifty
and enterprising owners of farms. Indi-
nWioi/instances to the contrary undoubt
edly do exist These arc but exoeptiou-
sl cases however. •
If tho Bible is true and tho curse
pronounced upon Hum be no myth, then
Is the normal condition of tho African
that of dependecoo nnd servitude oven
though slavery abolished by human
edict Wbo can fight against Omnipo
tence ! The African then, whether it-
joicing undor tho cognomen of Freed
men, independent electors, or Ameri
can oil inane* U, end fcrtvar will‘be a
hewer of wood and drawer of water for
the eons of Bhera and Japheth, in every
practical aenso. The right of property
in hie person it ie true ceases, and God,
gr nt it may ever be so. We would
not if we could, forge anew bis fetters.
But in all else he is a bond man ; ns
much so as the needle women ot New
York ; the operatives of Manchester
end Birmic^hsm, or the miners of (Va-
cow. And what slavery is moro ab
ject and grinding than theirs ? The true
philanthropist wi I not seek then to lift
the negio above his level, and thus dis
qualify him for the useful position as-
signed him by Providence, but will en
deavor to christianise, oultivato, and en
lighten his understanding, so that ho
may excel and shine in that peculiar
sphere.
Miscegnation, and social equality can
never exist, except between tho Afrioun
nnd those degraded and dogonerate fa-
nntics, of tho white race, who nre hybrids
In heart and every way his inferior. These
nre the oxerjdions to their own color, snd
will be loathed and despised by tho in
telligent negro himself.
Lot us show our blnck brethren who
arc his truo friends, by kind treatment,
just dealing and liberal wages for his
services. This ftill be fur non" *fT:ct-
ive th»y. tbe puling sontimonta’ism of the
school marm and phnranuica) lecturer,
and the ad eaj/tandum arguments of rad
ical stutemnen
4th. Another causo of the scarcity of
labor results from the multitudes who
havo flocked to our towns and cities, un
der the belief that more money nnd bet*
ter employment can be found In those
favored spots, than on tho form. These
oke out o precarious existence from day
to day and arc fit subjects for disouse
and the gruve.
6th. Tho absolute and fearful mortal
ity which has supervened, since freedom
deprived this unfortunate race of the
watchful care of their former owners.
The mortuary statistics of our large cit
ies reveal a snd tale of suffering and
death. Small pox and whisky, together
with tho absence of medical attention and
remedies, are rapidly sweeping awoy
like nutumn leaves the blank population.
Nor is there much hope that the loss
will be repaired by tho laws of natural
increase. The terrible prevulonoeof the
orhne of infunticide evinces a return to
barbarous usager. The care of her in
fant ie now .a burden to the African
mother; nnd oAon, very often it is de.
stroyed in its embryo state, or perishes
from neglect after parturition. Decen
cy prevents ns from enlarging on this
theme ; but humanity enjoins tlmt the
wretched and ignorant class of oonjnring
charlatans, mostly old womon, who do-
rivu a support from the destruction of
the inchoate principle of life, nnd tho ru
in tomporul und eternal of their deluded
victims, be exposed und severely dealt
with.
The nbovo onuses, to eny (lathing of
tho number absorbed in tho federal nr-
my, the exodus North, and many who
have started urstward under tho lend of
Yankee speculators, to find themselves
nt their journeys end, in bonds oguin bo-
nenth n Cuban sky, nre sufficient ubun
dually to account for tho alurming sub
traction of labor from our Southern
fields. What then can be done to sup
ply tho deficiency nnd enable us once
more to cultivate tho thousands of acres
now lying waste and desolate in nil sec-
lions of the country ? This question we
propose to discuss in another number.

Waouikotor Citt, D. C. ( >
April 10, 1807. ]
To the People oj Georgia:
During the late civil war you were
distinctly informed by tho legislative re
solves, nnd by Kxooutive proclamations,
emanating from tho United States Gov
ernment, that it wnn waged against you,
not vindictively, not for tho purpose of
cbnqocst, hut solely for the maintenance
of tho Union. The theory announced
was that, by her ordinance of secession,
Georgia had not pluced herself, nor
could in nny way place herself, without
its pale, but thut, nt whatever cost of
blood and treasure, the resistance of her
people to tho authority of the United
Stales must be suppressed.
With theao ideas in vour minds (ac
tuated !>y whnt considerations it mat
ters not), in April, 1865, you, in good
faith, coused thut rcsiatunce, laid down
your arms, und niado full submission.
From these premises it is undciiiuhlo
that you had a right to expect, ns it is
notoriously true you did expect, speedy
restoration to tho position in the Union
from which you had essayod to with
draw—your status unchanged, save in
the abolition of slavery, to which, w ith
umn/.ing equanimity, you assented, by
word nnd by act.
To this work of restoration, tho Pres
ident of tho United Htntes, iu tho recess
of the Congress, faithful to the theory
prnmulged an above slated, fldJreMod
himself \\ lib much of circumstantial de
tail nnd eluboruto ror.^„iuety, but iu a
Spirit ol' unuffoctod k ndnesn.
liis proscrilx-d programme yon strict
ly pursued—all that was antagonistic to
the United Stales Government you ex
punged from your records; all that wus
required to put you again in proper re-
latino with that Government, yon did.
When next the Congress nnsemhlcd,
your State Government (which had been
temporarily suspended) was in full Op
eration-Senators and Representatives,
regularly elected and duly comnWon-
«ed, presented thernselvee in the hnlla of
Congress and were refused adinisuion.
Yet the postal, revenue und judicial
systems of the Federal Government
were extended over Georgia as over
Massachusetts and Ohio. Direct taxes
assessed against the severnl States of
the Union, by acta previously passed,
were collected from you.
An amendment of the Federal Con
stitution, proposed by the Congress in
the prescribed forms, was presented to
your Legislature for ratification or re
jection, ns to those of New York and
Pennsylvania. This you ratified, nnd
your ratification was accepted. Your
.State Government moved uninterrupted
ly In its proper sphere, its Legislative
snd Executive Departments holding
communication with departments of the
Federal Government, ns in the palmy,
peaceful days of the Republic. Thus
oho long session of the Congress trans
pired, causing no new regret, save your
continued exclusion from the National
Counsels. This you bore - if n l un
complainingly, at least, submissively—
patiently awnitlng tho prevalence of
counsels more liberal, moro just. But
during the first session of the Thirty-ninth
Congress another amendment wus pro
posed to the Constitution, and presen
ted to your Legislature for consideration
and ratification or rejection. This was
considered in the interval between the
first and second xcssionn, of the Tliiity
respectful but quitu dutioot, rejected.
Other States (now and always partici
pant Iu Federal legislation, whose eta
tus, ns tnombors of the Union, has nov
er been questioned) likewise rejected it
and nre unmolested.
Against Georgia nnd other States
similarly situated, the rejection scorns to
have stimulated the ire of tho National
Legislators. After having treated Geor
gia us u State, so fur ns coincided with
their convenience or their interest —after
having tolerated her Government, re
constructed under Federal Executive
uuspic.es, during n period of eighteen
month-*, the Thirty-ninth Congroes, just
at its close, coacted u law providing fur
the reconstruction of your State Govern
mi nt, in accordance with their will and
pleasure, irrespective of your own; and,
ad interm, for vour military government
Tho Foitiolh Congress, taking up the
role, immediately upon the expiration of
its predecessor, has enacted a law sup
plemcntury to the former, placing the
whole machinery of reconstruction in the
hands ol the Military Governor previ
ously provided for. Construing the
two acts together, thut official is clothed
ill* dictatorial powers over you, and
sustuinod by as many bayonets an m: y
bo necessary to tho end in view. They
prescribe, os indispensable provisions
in your contompluted Constitution, sev
eral articles which tho enacting power
well knows you disapprove, ami soino of
which, as applicable to themselves, other
States now in full fruition of tho Union
disapprove, and have recently rejected.
Lastly, these enactmenta for the pur-
jk)8ch of this forced reconstruction, ex
tend the elective franchise to n largo class
of person# on whom you have never be
stowed it, and to whom you on well as
other States now represented in Con
gress, by tho rejection of the last pro
posed Constitutional Amendment, have
refused to ex ton d it.
These acts of Congress havo been ve
toed by the President, but havo been
passed over his veto by two-thirds of
each branch of tho Congress.
I shall not swell this address by a
thorough analysis of tbeso acts. They
are fearfully fuiniliar to you. But I hes-
itato not to sny to you, that they are pal
pably unconstitutional and grievously
oppressive.
Such, fellow citixcne is vour present
condition, and the official relation I bear
to you demand# that I speak to you of
the two acta of Congress before mention"
ed, together with the incorporation of
them all, by our own acts, into our own
Constitution and laws ; secondly, a firm
but tempornte refusal of such acquies
cence nnd adoption; and a patient, man
ly endurance of imlitury government,
until, in tho cffiux of tnnr, and on the
subsidence of the passions generated by
civil war, better counsels shall prevail
nt the Federal capital—we, meantime,
strictly observing law and order, and
vigorously addressing ourselves to in
dustrial pursuits.
As between these alternatives, I have
no hesitation in advising the adoption of
tho latter, but forbeur at this time to us-
sign any tensona for tin's advice, because,
fellowr-citireos, l am fur from believing
that the scare the only alternatives. I
tiuvo strong faith thut there remains to
us an available remedy. In the Federul
Government there aro three depart
ments. Two of them have passed up
on these measures, und are in direct an
tagonism regarding their constitutional
ity- But in that event, the Constitution
give* to tbo Legislative Department
power to override the Executive, and
they have so done There still remains,
however, the Judicial Department—the
great conservator of the supremacy o,
the Constitution—whose decrees, unlike
tho Executive veto, cannot be overrid
den by the Cm»*^ c8 g < That Department
h's not yet spoken. Should it be found
in occord with the Executive, this usur
pation will be nrrcHto I. Then, although,
for u time, yon may be denied represen
tation in Congress, your State govern
ment will remain intact, -and full resto
ration will not long be delayed.
Watching at home tho progress of
these measures, I gave, as my duty to
you, earnest consideration to the ques
tion whether or not we had any remedy
against them. 1 reached the cone!usjpo
thut a case could be made, giving juris
diction to the Hupreme Court, w herein
the validity of those acts oould be prop
erly tested, und whereby, if found inval
id, they could be arrested. Unwilling
to trust my own judgement or that of
nny Houlhem jurist, so liable to be
swayed by the bins of Southern interest
and Southern feeling, immediately upon
the passage of the first act, I earn# here
for the sole purpose of submitting my
views to, and consulting with, jurists
able und pure, who would view the
whole subject fium a different stand
point. I have done so, and, by such
men, my proposed course has licen nji-
prwved. Before you rend thisthecause
of Georgia will be in thut august tribu
nal, hitherto true to the Constitution—
the bulwark of our liberties. The great
question of relief from that quarter will
bo sjieedily determined. Need I ask
you to be calm and quirt, committing
yourselves hastily to no particular course
of action ? Should we fail (as fail we
may), there will remain nothing that I
cun do for you. Yonr destiny will he in
vour own hands, and you must choose
tietween the alternatives first presented.
In rnuking that choice, you have my
counsel, perhaps erroneous, but certain
ly honest. Ciuslbs J Jmxkinm.
