This is true doctrine however uncojilb-

practised, especially in the present con
driion of public affaire.
If we lose patience, and indulge in
invective, and thus provoke further ug
egressions, let us remember, that we are
'biting our own tongue, anil will alone
be the sufferers.
Our only resource now is to watch
anil wait, until the hour for action anil

"truth is eternal, and error fallible And
evanescent.
iReweiqui.vo of Cotton—We sen by
the action of the ware housemen of
Macon and our principal cities, that lots
of cotton when-sold and turned out for
delivery, are subject to be reweiglud at
the •expense Of the purchaser.
This is eminently just and proper, «s
lit is a fact well known that a bale of
cotton is ever fluctuating in weight, qnd
it is but right that the buyer should
be satisfied that he gets the number ot
•pounds paid for at the date of fuircbase.
One cause of the margin against th<
interior markets, when contrasted with
tiioec abroad, Is the fact that it has been
usual to sell cotton upon receipts made
out months previously.
The experienced buyer aware that in
almost every instance a loss of from six
to ten pounds must ensue upon theorig
inai weights, makes his bid accordingly
With the positive knowledge of pres
ent weight, he can approach very near-,
iy to the quotations of other markets,
abd can therefore afford to be m ire lib ;
arid in his bids.
Wo believe were the sums custom in
troduced here, it would tend to improve
prices and inuro to the advantage of
the producer.
A®, A glance at the admirably pre
pared, weikly price current of the opu
lent house of Messrs. Ketchum and
Hnrtridge, containing a long and im
posing list of ships, barques, brigs,'
schooners sloops, and every cl aft known
to maratime waters, must impress every
Georgian with pride at the immense
and growing commerce of the Forest
cilv.
These ricli argosres laden with the
products of our sunny soil, tell the pal
pable story of Georgia's rapid emer
gence from the disastrous war, which
swept her fail* fields with the be
som of destruction, and laid in ruins
a thousand homes, once the abode of
hospitality and Toxn-y.
This has been-accomplished too, de
spite a mountain of taxes, and without
the fostering care and protection of a
friendly government. What may we not
expect when tho thieving crowd who
swarm about tho nations capital, and
make a jest and bye word of a groat
people, have run their race, and law
aod justice once more regain their sway.
Again we call upon the people ot
the interior, to stand by their noble
seaport, and make her what her geo
graphical position, and manifest desti
ny seem to indicate, the queen city of
the South Atlantic coast.
forth the peoples representatives trom
the hails of Legislation ?
We answer, let us yield where re
sistance is powerless, but never though
threatened witjj stake end faggot, con
sent to become tbe voluntary victims of
oppression.
Thank God, despite the false assev
erations of her bogus governor, Georgia
is True to herself, at*the ballot box
will ever proclaim the opposition of
her people to every high handed act of
usurpation.
Were it Dot a bootless operation (as
new waits, vt election would be imme
diately issued and their places refilled
again,) we would counsel every demo
cratic member to resign his seat, and
leave the General Assembly without a
quorum, when the attempt is made to
fasten upon us the iniquitous measures
of Bullock and Grant.
If k be truo as stated to the writer
by one occupying a high position on the
radical judiciary of the State, th;. t even
with the expelled members in their pla
ces, and the non enforcement of the 14th }
Amendment, a conservative majority*
yet remains in the Legislature, we are
still masters of tbe situation, and the
listed tfitli Amendment can be rejected.
ShoiHd the iron clad ba exactej how
ever, ami Bullock and ibo radicals turn
the tables upon us by adulitting to the
H or - -f the Legislature those who were
the opponents of tbe disqualified mem
bers, then our condition is indeed hope
less. But even in this predicameut lol
us grimly resolve to thwart our enemies
by every parliamentary stratagem with
in our reach.
Belter have no legi-lation, than con
sent to enact a radical measure which
is meant to enslave our people forever.
In the event however that might pre
vails against right, we should exhibit a
becoming fortitude, and 'calmly await
the period when a change of rulers fan
be effected at the ballot box.
Unavailing opposition at this period
will destroy our infinenco with the col
ored populatiou, And leave ns in a weak
er condition than ever.
May God defend the right.

LET THE JUDICIARY SPEAK.
From the Teltgnpb A Messenger, 12th.
We received yesterday, froui
friend, the editor of the Albany News,
Gofi U. W. Slvlas, the following dis
patch :
Ai.baxv, Ga., December 11th, 1809.
Te «jrri})h Sr A/rsi/mr/ar :
The Radical Convention at Macon
and'Gov. Bollock charges that justice
cannot be obtaiuud in tho civil courts of
Georgia. Is it so ? It is suggested
that all tho Superior Court Jiidges, nom
inees of Bul'ock, repair by request to
Washington to testily before the Re
construction Committee, and that Geor
gia will abide their testimony.
Carey W. Styles,
Editor Albany News.
We may, indeed, earnestly, and, thank
God, tafenfi anpeal to ewr'y judicial offi
cer—from Justice of the Peace to
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court—
to rebuke this foul cafumuy. Come
where’ it may, it is an atrocious
slander upou Georgia. If a. guilty
man, we would rather tqke the chunoe
of a negro,' ihnnofa white man, before
any court in Georgia ; because we-are
sure that justice is more universally
tempered with mercy iu courts in too
case of blacks than of whites, who
are presumed tokwow better and pun
ished accordingly. W.e call the at
tention of our judiciary to the
gestion of Gol. Suits'.
The above is imWJ an admirable
suggestion, and one from which no
Georgian will shrink.
Indeed we would bo willing to as
sist in raising a fund to send Judge
Schley, Judge Harrell and others of
their colleagues to Washington, with
out the slightest attempt to influence
their testimony.
All we ask for is the simple truth,
naked a. ; d undisguised. «

g.i, ahargtng us with violating our “sec
ular neutrality” by luring ground
against 'heir sect.
The writer assumes -the rule of the
Christian, yet charges us wifh "fgiFV
ranee,’’ “intolerance,” “bigotry,” and
“imbecility,” anil calls upon the people
of South-west Georgia ^ to us down
And pnt down we’should lMPmost aa-
su"«ijj, if these esponenWJff their con
venient creed could have svkay in the
land. The Editor also Btytes his church
"a growing and respectable denomina
tion of ebristiaus,” while in another col
umn a veteran member of the afore said
jmita, deplores that after the lapse of a
hundred peats so great is the pancity of
laborers in the Universulist vine yard,
that “in tbe whole State of Alabama
tor instance there is virtni^y but one,
the editor of the Herald, for I hardly
dare count myself as one being about
used 1 up with age and affliction. In
Georgia there arc some five or six, and
in South Caruliua one: in Tennessee
one, ar.u in Texas very few.”
Now it appears to us this is but a
beggarly showing of success after the
crusade of an entire century. Even
spiritualism, mormonisin, millet ism or
fonrrierism can beat this “growing de.
nomination.”
It is a patent truth that no theory
however wild atjd illusory, has ever
failed to, have its advocates. This is
owing to tho amazing versatility oT opin
ions upon all subjects which prevail
among men. Given, any proposition, even
that the moon is made of green cheese,
and disciples will bu found to adopt it.
In regard to the charge that ws have
beeu gnilty of “gross violence,” “to all
secular editorial rule,” we are forced to
enter our disclaimer.
The fitxlhisis are a “sect”—and so
also are believers in the Alcoran, the
Mj ; i, and fire worshippers of Persia,
and the latter day saints of our own
land. Still we would not feel bound to
preserve an unbroken silence, were ore
or all of these doctrines advertised to be
preached among us.
So alsp precisely with the advocates
of Uni versalism. By orthodox churches
they are not regarded as coming within
tho scope and purview of a religious
denomination. When has our voice ev
er been uplifted against Methodist
Baptist, Espiscopalian, or Romanist doc.
trine, because we happen to adhere to
the Presbyterian creed ?
Iu publishing tho appo'ntruout of Mr.
II'.' McMofriss, we were unwilling
that by implication even,. we should be
ranked among the followers of'a sect,
which we believifto be tipscriptura] and
dangerous to the community. Hooce
our brief protest against tho same.—
Now in this essential we differ widely
u " ; from the N’o'.asulga tltunderers.
We do not wish to have tire people
of South-west Georgia, “make a note’
of them for purposes of persecution.
On the contrary, we are disposed to
give them all the tether they wish, sat
isfied that if their doctrine be of man
it will fail to die.ground. Nay We will
promise to continue to publish their
preuehabg appointments, and sincerely
commend their benighted condition to
prayers of Gods people.
Wo can also take by the hand, aud
e-t-eirofor ids private virtves such men
as “A Sinner,” be he Universalist or in.,
fide). To advocate or yield even a qua
si assent to his errors is quite another
qneetipik Nor can tbe columns of the
AreEAL'be made the mediumtof effiirr
ding currency to doctrines, which we
honestly esteem mischievous and de
structive in their tendency-. Sc much
for ottr Violation of “secular neutrality.”
Should the Editor oft the Herald
make good his promise to preach in
Cuttib-. rt, and select any other than the
before the Congressional Committee of
Beconstructiou ?
We intw, from persoa d iriWmatlpnj,
that in no respcctffiasoui representative

him befire Ihe people,' in.-be canvass

restored to their Beats, afterthe decision
of the Supreme Court, is not to be con
strued as favoring per sc universal suf
frage, or thj bestowment of office qpon
the African. Isolate these measures,
and we are assured Air. Tift, as well as
ourselves, would oppose them unto tbe
bitter end.
The wnofb qiiestiori turned upon the
argument of txpsJk4ry, and the desire
to conciliate our calore.l friends, and
nftike the beet of what was alceady, by
constitutions ruling, and judicial au
thority, a foregone conclusion, after Ihe
lapse of a brief interval ot time.
Not a line in the fete letter of Mr.
Tifi, counsels the adoption of the Jiated
15th A mend meet. The justice ot his
views, upon the matter of reseating the
expelled members, has bpen verified even
in advance, by- the declarations of the
President’s message. Happily for the
harmony of the D nmcratic party, that
issue has been decided f >r us, by our en
emies, and we caff .only fall into line and
oppose their nefariouR de igns step by
slip, *nd at every point.
The above is penned as a simple act
of j -stice, to one of ottr most faithful and
patriotic citizens.
Th9 Income Tax-
We do not know whether it is gener
ally known, but ire hope it is, that the
odious income tax expires with the close
of the year 18t>£t The iljt-ti section of
the Act itself says :
“Aud be it further t^nnrtecl, Tl.at the
taxes on incomes herein imposed shali
be levied on tiie first di\y of March, and
be due and payable on or before tbe
thirtieth day of April iu each
til and including tbe year eighteen hun
dred uuJ seventy, and ho 1onj*ar. ,!
Iiy this it will \>e «een that this l:uv
will expire by its own . limitation, and
that the last tux levied under it will be
levied on the first day of March for
ltftif), unless Congress shali sue pepper
to re-enaut it. AV^hope this will not
be done. The income tax was imuo^ed
at a time of great danger to the country
a? a war measHre, and the fact of its
duration being limited is evidence that
Congress intended it should be only
temporary. Thpre is a movement on
the part of *»oroe to hfive it revived at
the present session of Congress, and it
is said that President Grant will recom
mend its re-enactment ia his message.
If lie should do this he will meet the
veiy general opposition of the wishes of
the people. When the law was pissed
tl.ei*e was a pledge on the part nf the
government that iLshouM- expire at a
given time, and that piei^e the country
now expects to see redeemed, and not
violated by its re ♦•na trnent. i his law
is odious beyond any other ever passed
in* this country. It is inq*i:sit<»rial in its
character, asJ entirely at variance with
the genius of our kstitulioiis. It has
ndt usen, and cannot be, carried oat
fairly and honestly.
While a portion of those subjects to
its operation make honest returns of
their income another portion make dis
honest returns, and pay iittle or nothing
in tho shape of income tax. This fea
ture makes it hateful, for it begets fraud
and deception. In England the income
tax has never been enforced in time of
peace. There it was always a war.
measure, aud was repealed as soon - us
the war ceased. It was understood
saujfe w» to be th^raso fcen* laet if.fs
linder.staiitfing'be canietT out in good
faith. The government can easily d«>
without the lew miMions of taxes raised
by a hateful inquisithm if the expendi
tures are retrenched u little. We would
advise tlie people to p lition Congress
against the re-enactment of the income
tax, *ind we believe that body will bo in
a mood to listen to the detnanda of its
m us t e r s ytestium. lJi.mQc. at. m
Tlie Tennessee Legislature has
repealed the law of the last Assembly
providing for the payment of loyal men
for lisaes sustained during the war.—
There were forty two thousand claims,
amounting in tbe aggregate to six mill
ions of dollars. Not a cent of it will
now bo paid.
