SENATOR WILSON.
TLi* ‘God iifcd morality mmi” who truth*
fully reprwnl* the “heavenly kingdom of
Massachusetts’’ in llie rump Cotigtes*, and
known to the pt< pie of the St mb,as one other
deadliest and most urceomprimising enemies
has recently visited Saratoga, and of count
made a speecL, and of course his sul ject was
the situation, and of course the pool South—
her history in the past, her condition at pres
ent, and her prospect in the future were com
mented on, in his peculiar Radical style.—
The magnitude and power of the country is
Almost beyond the conception of his Radical
brain. The flag—the old ‘‘stars and stripes"
near wave at the North pole on one side of
th« world, and many years will not pass
away before tw pioiecung ioiu» **u» ........
and worshiped on the other side. The laU
ter he eetir.a not inclined to burry. It is
destined to reach that point witbeut human
nsiMtsnct, nothing that *we do can help it
•-“it is manifest destiny." Ht concludes
his remarks upon this “great country* by
saying that “henceforth and forever this is to
be a free country, where every man is the
peer of every other man.”
, Now we have no objection to this being a
‘free country," that is just wbat the patriots
of Is, fought for- that is simply what the
“ten States lately in reltlKon” ask for, blit
we do object—earnestly object to being “the
peer of every other man.” Wears not, and
San never be *« fact “ths peer of every other
man." Ws are not the peer of the negro, of
the Indian-—neither are we your “peer” Sea*
a tor Wilson. Ths whito man of the South
who opposes yow plan of “patching up thu j
tlnion" is not your “peer" in Radicalism —
he is not of the same rank, nor does ho pos
sess your disposition or a similar oae. The
white man is rot politically or socially the
“peer” of the negro—neither indeed can be.
Radical legislation may l e so directed as to
make the negro politically the “peer" of the
white man, hut in so doing you place a tool
in Lis hand that Le knows not how to ban*
<lle, and which wi'l be ignorantly wielded
(or bis own min and the destruction of the
white race and Ibsir every interest.
It is a veiy good omen to see a man hope,
ful, but negro ruffisge or the prospect of it
is pouly calculated to make us so. Speak*
ing of the war that his party once declared
was waged in no spirit of oppression but for
the preservation of the Union, he says?
It was ore of UoiVb Wims nmt fur myself I
accept its results. When wo liad war I be*
lieved in prosecuting it vigorously. Now we
have pence, I wont to nroiccuto peace vigor*
oualy. We who stood by our country, nnd the
cause of liberty, justice, nnd humanity, have
triumphed. V’c have triumphed at a fearful
cost. Wo are proud and strong; we have
lilted the countiy toward the heavens, wo are
n greater people than ever before. Wo have
destroyed human bondage; we bnvesuljugnted
nnd corf] no rod a brave nnd heroin portion of
the country, nnd now the great work is done,
I am for welcoming them back with warm and
generous greeting, trusting that the causes of
all our troubles hnvo passed away forever, nnd
that hereafter we shall be friends nnd brothers
as we were in the morning of the Republic.
“ YYelccmirg them back with warm and
generous greetirg !” Did the reader ever
hear of such impudence f Had he forgot*
ten what he had said in a hundred speeches
made to the negroes of the South I Ilad he
forgot the part he took in the Senate when
the tnilitaiy bills were up for discussion f
Had be forgot that his whole influence was
thrown in favor of the passage of those bills!
liad be forgot that he voted for them I Such
a ‘welcoming’ as is exhibited in those bills is
“warm and generous” iu a hurry. Save us
from all such “welcoming.” Deliver us from
all surh friends as this Radical would have
ut think him to be. We desire none of bis
sympathy when all of Lis ‘good easy talk”
ia contradicted by bis record. Prominent in
prccuripg the passage of these bills and anx*
ion* at heart for their tig’d enforcement he
attempts in his puritanical and hypocritical
style to allure the people of the Soalh into
their support and acceptance, and in a speech
deiivertd declares that bs is disposed to take
the Southern Slates back “with warm and
generous greetings." What consistency and
what hypocrisy 1 *
The Negro Meeting at Social Circle.
An esteemed correspondent line furnished
us with a lengthy and detailed account of a
political gathering at Social Circle, on tho 4th,
on which occasion William Markham, and
James L. Dunning, of Atlanta, attempted to
enlighted the Frcedmeu upon their political
rights, and their duty in the approaching con
test. A want of space prevents our publishing
the entire communication and wo cull tho fol
lowing, thinking it to be the most interee
fiing to the reading poblift *
It is well known that at the beginning of the
war that William Markham was running a
Foundry in the city of Atlnnta, and that he
made shot and shell and every other implement
of war that lie could make in Lis Foundry, to
aid in earrrying on the war; aud it is also well
known that he was at one time a Negro trader
—that he kept a negro Mart aud bought and
Bold them daily. Aud now he lias the wilful
impudence, and supreme nudacity to come be
fore the freednien and tell them that lie helped
to free them, that lie and his party are their
friends, and that they want their confidence
now, and their support when the elections come
off. Oh 1 ye deluded sons o f Africa how much
longer w ill you suffer such deep deception
prnctiecd upon yon. As for Mr. I), he is more
honorable, he sticks with tenacity to his same
old anti helium amalgamating principles nnd
will not give them up though earth should ask
it, and Heaven demand it. Their poor pitiful,
unmnnly harrangues, were well received by
the freedmen who seemed to sanction and gulp
down in whole doses all they said except a
small portion of Mr. D’s remarks which did
not at all comport with the doctrine of the
Wilson’s, Kelley’s, Stevens’s ar.d Bryant’s who
have been feeding them on soft corn for months
past. Ihe portion of the speech mentioned
that they did not like was this, he told them
that if they ever got homes and lands of their
own, they must work make money nnd buy
them like he and nil w hite people had done.—
Ibis port of his speech did not meet with any
cheers at all—it was a kind of a damper to
their exhilerated spirits ; but the rest of his
remarks pleased them so well that they soon
forgot this, and when the speakers were
through they escorted them in martial style .to
the depot, commencing with the command lefi
foot front, march, and they left them there alone
. * *“'* '** mftflii/l UD*
satiated either with ram. ham, goat or mutton
The delighted crowd then returned to the to
bies on which was spread ail the varieties . -
mentioned, and they were soon devoured aith
almost savage ferocity; causing the* to disap
pear with alarming rapidity to those who were ,
waiting in expectancy. I doubt not, but
that you will see in some of the Radical sheets j
of the country a statement that the platform of _
the National "Union Republican party was
adopted without a dissenting voice, by a larg#
concourse of eitixens assembled at Social Circle, 1
Georgia, on the third day of August, 1867.- ,
The reason there was no dissenting voice when ,
the vote was taken, is because the few whites
that were there did not consider themselves in
the meeting, nnd a matter of course all true
white men would not degrade themselves by
being associated with any such a mongrel oon*
cern. When Mr. D. put the question he di
rected it entirely to hie colored brethren leav
ing tbo whites out, which was all right, at it
would haro been au iuault to havo included
them. The Freedmen who voted for the plafi
form knew no more of w hat it contain* than
a hone, though it was roud in tlieir hearing,
and it is my houcst conviction that if the
epeaker had put the other side of the question
nnd said he was in favor of it too, that they
would have voted for it just as readily as they
did the first. Such is their delusion, and such
ti.oir faith in a man who calls himself Radical.
And sis it further evidence of tlieir unflinch-,
ing faith iu nil those of the Hybrid stripe,
Mr. Jim Thompson, who opened the oxercis
es by way of a speech, and who, by the way,
introduced his plain bredren totlic congregation,
said “dat dey bml «tf«n dare to enlighten dar
minds, and day mus gib e® « far. impatient and
diligent hearing—dat dey had bin trnblin in
dc dark for a long, long time, and dnt dese
gentlemens had condecended to lif dcrc feet
from de mire and clay, and set em on n rock
of eternal ng®o." S«oU U Hum.- confidence in
tlioso men. that it seems to your correspondent
that they are given over to strong delusions
that they may believe a lie. All were quiet
peaceable, and well behaved. This speaks
well for the freedmen. and commendable to all
who were assejnblcd on that occasion. Some
of them wont home fuller, if not wiser than
when they came. R* • I>.
[Communicated.] |
Mr. Editor: Some young men who wish, ns
soon as prudent, to got married, and who fit
hnrd during the war, nre afraid they w ill have
worse fits if they plunge into matrimony, ns
they did into the wnr, without some reasonable
assurance, ns to how the thing would end.
Well, ns to the wnr, we went in, and went on,
nobly for a time. But not having all we need
ed we failed ; so you see the troubles tlint have
come upon us. But there is a way out. nnd
our friends at the North will find it after a
while, and w e hope to settle down into a com v
fortahlo state of cqunlity with the rest of th e
Caucasian race. But, Mr. Editor, there is no
open door of escape out of matrimony, if it
should provo a bod adventure; nnd there nre
grave fears of untold troubles ahead, for all
aspirants of connubial bliss these times. Now
if you will faithfully promise not to give our
names, we will unbosom ourselves to you. Do
keep our secret, otherwise, il we should ever
attempt to get a wife, we might have to accept
the very worst prize in the matrimonial lottery.
After nil, in view of the changes and chances
that “flesh is heir to," we think it most pru
dent not to file a bill of complaint, but only
to propound a few questions, and ask your an
swers, and suggest counsel*. Keep stiff knees
and a br.'ve heart, Mr. Editor, and hoar us.—
These fine clothes that tho young ladies (and
some not young) wear, don’t they
cost lots of mo?ey7 Do you believe a young
fellow who digs t»J* ground, or hops round a
counter fora living, could stand it? or will
they quit when they get a husband? we arc
afraid they won’t, for w e sec s'ome of the mar
ried ones nro ns bad as the single. Do they
work for any part, or all of what they spend—
or do their daddies pay up —or do they keep
running accounts with the merchants, to be
paid by a future husband ? if so, bless my soul
what a smash-up is coming!'. or are they rich
and keep it a secret, that we may marry for
love f Wo repol the insinuation that these lil
ies, who “toil not and spin not” ever draw
in person or by proxy, the food they cat, from
stores provided for the indigent aud helpless.—
Now, some girls are afraid of dram drinking,
because it is apt t* increase, and of reformed
1 tiplers, because they may relapse, and wo
can't say they are wrong. So, too, we are afraid
!of these money-spending,fine dressing girls,who
may do no better ufter marriage, and we will
j have to work out the last drop of moisture that
! is in us, to keep them clad ; to say nothing of
the children. Now, in short, will it do for a
poor young man, rich in good qualities, who is
j not afraid of hard work, old clothes, and blue
coHards for every day doings, to marry one of
I these “charming creatures ?” Tell us plainly,
but pritßtely, if you think yd type endau*
gered by publicity, for print; offices have
been sacked. We have great cadence in you,
Mr. Editor, both from the choiyou made for
yourself, and the way you did our duty du
ring the war, so square up asou did in the
jnnkee prison, and tell out ya mind here as
you did there. We look upomarrying us a
dangerous thing under tbo prent dispensa
tion. For n fellow to bo loekesip in jail be
fore the end of the first honemoon because
he could’nt pay for the finery h bride wore to
win him in, is a leetle worse thi the horrors
of celibacy.
Now if the population fails | increase, as
formerly, for the next decade ojtwo.who will
be to blame for it, but those wiwby lavish ex
penditure* in fine dressing j*l otherwise,
put marriage out of the power poor
men. And who, too, will he taßameif shriv
eled old maids adorn our partca, enliven our
promenades, and throw the chgm and witch
ery of fossillage, over societyja few years to
couie.

{Communicated.}
Me. Editoh ;—Volumes might be written in
worthies who, for tturtv ycafi or more, and
especially within the last six or eight years,
have succeeded in accomplishing one of the
greatest feat* known in the annals of history.
They raised the dogma, based on false premi
ses, that the Constitution and Union of our
fathers, was a "covenant with death, and an
Agreement with hell.” The Abolitionists
aer se. fought the battle from that stand point,
sut the more moderate Abolitionists, under the
name of Republicans with the assumption that
nil men were created equal as applying to
Caucasians, Africans, Mongolians and others,
succeeded in accomplishing more in the way of
subverting the ancient principles of govern
ment and overthrowing the Constitution and
Union of our fathers, than the Abolitionists
per se. Thousands not seeing the ulterior de
sign of the Republican party aided them in
their «;reat work of destruction, and at last the
Constitution and Union were rent asunder as
with the tremendous power of an earthquake,
much to the satisfaction of those who for many
years hoped aad desired, and ardently labored
for it* overthrow. Tha unfortunate withdraw
al of the Southern States from the Union, so
callcd in common parlance, gave to the domi
nant party all the power of the Government
which was successfully waged against as. The
course adopted by the Southern States was
suicidal, and the very same the Aholitioaists
desired for years, and which operated promi
nently in tlieir favor and in oaf overthrow..
In our overthrow aneient Constitutional, prin
ciples were overthrown, and hero we ar* man
gled, butchered 1 , bleeding, dying. Inour saf
fering and perishing condition they give us
gall and vinegar as a quietus to our mental
agony. It is as good as wc deserve, yea, more,
it is better than wo deserve say they. This is
kind and humane- with a vengeance.
Strange as it nmy appear, it is nevertheless
true, if the published statements are correct,
that at the very time whan ‘universal suffrage’
is being forced upon b«, the British Parliament,
are undoing w hat it done in Jamaica thirty
years since. It seems after one and a half
' scores of years had passed' on that Island, the
English philanthropists have found their exper
imentof equalizing iTissbuifar races is a failure,
and arc striving to bring aonu-' a chance Rut
while n ref. :m in Jamaica is Jh the r ,rbt di
rection, ft Will avail nothing in our country,
the infuriated madness of the time* must have
its period of full develnpemeni nod exhaustion.
But we are told, perhaps very obsequiously,
thnt in our condition all' rliis quibbling about
“mere abstractions” such Ibr instance as “sub
mitting but not accepting, is unworthy of n
sensible man,” Also “flic equality of races-”
is not such a terrible thing after all, a mere
abstraction, thnt is all. I ivPvrays believed in it,
says some progressive individual, I can avow
my principles r.ow.
It seems the existence of a Radical, or more
properly, a Mongrel parky in the South is a fact,
a fixed fact. Military rule, Ohow wonderful.
Surely we should be in cestacies. We are not
capable to govern ourselves, O no. We arc not
sensible men, we are governed by “more ab
straction*.’’ All the enlightenment! of past
ages is eclipsed by the transparent fi'hiniin*-
tion of this remarkable period. What a pity
the world has been enshrouded in ignorance so
long, and all the light ha* come at once. There
will he no more jack-o-l/ic lantern, or ignts-faiu
us lights, which nre nil wc had in the better
and peaceful days of the Republic. The pure
light now shines emanating from some unspok
en country, and is illuminating these dark and
benightened regions. We will have a glorious
time now, say they, wc are in the light, and be
hold its illumined brightness. After a little
thero must be a splendid exhibition of sky
Tockcts, shooting stars, serpents, meteors, and
such like real or imaginary fantastics, to eele
lirate the ushering in of so august and wonder
ful an epoch.
Tho elevated civilization of (lie black popu
lation while in juxtaposition with a higher and
more exalted civilization reflects great credit
upon them during the last few yeats of turmoil
and strife. Amidst the vigorous efforts of bad
men to incite them to insurrection, scenes of
blood, and death, they have proved themselves
more civilized than those men who have exerted
their utmost ability to overthrow Southern so
ciety by incendiary speeches, and inflammatory
appeals. Wc wish no antagonism between the
two races, nnd if let alone there will be no
antagonism. We wish well to tho black people,
and understanding their wants and necessities
we know how to supply them when it is within
our power. But unfortunately anything in the
way of charity, sympathy nnd kindness on our
part toward them, is treated with contempt by
our opponents, who represent to the black peo
ple in some localities that ourkindness is wholly
prompted by sinister motives. Well, if wc must
hn\» our motives impugned, and our conduct
misrepresented, let us remember that it is bet
ter to suffer in a just cause, wishing to do right,
and so havo a conscience void of offense before
our Creator, than to lie justly under the charge
of guilt and crime. It is a satisfaction to know
that God is our Judge, nnd not man. Man’s
judgment can be impeached and overthrown,
but God’s judgment cannot be impeached nor
overthrown. It is a small matter to be judged
of roan, but God’s jndgment is irrefragablo.
Wo appeal to Him and willingly abide his
righteous decision.
In the “English Reader,” a book used in
common schools in the juvenile years of vour
correspondent, is found the foil (wing poetical
and truthful expression—
“\ ice is a monster of such hideous mien
That to be hated, needs hut to be seen.
But seen too oft, familiar with its face.
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.”
When we survey the field before us, and form
our own conclusions upon the principle of cause
and effect, knowing they will correspond, and
look at Ilnyti, Jamaica, Mexico, and other
countries south of us, we tremble for the future
in our once highly favored land. It is a heathen
adage involving 'much truth “Those the gods
would destroy, they first make mgd.” When
Elisha, weeping, told Hnzael the evil he would
do to Israel, he replied, “But what, to thy
servant a dog that he should do this thing r --
Yet he did it. A man, who was executed or
some great crime, remarked just before Ins
death, "Alas, wlmt have I come to! I never
could have believed it. The first wicked thing
J did was to steal a pin." This is significant.
However frightful vicb, of any kind, may ap
pear to an innocent mind, when once a step is
taken in a wrong direction, he first endures, lie
pities, and then embraces it- It 13 at first ab
horrent, after a while, if he accepts no warn
ing be is lost in vice and wickedness In all
positions of life this is true politically, wtto*
Licusly, nnd socially, from the highest to the
fewest degree of character. Iu the present
state of demoralization well may we fear in re
lation to the future prospects of our country.
Let us, with manly fortitude, heroic courage,
and persevering energy, avoid the monster rice,
a, we would a venomous reptile, choose the
good, move firmly forward in the path “( wis
dom and uprightness, trusting in the smiles of
a benign Providence.

A jailor at Donaldsonville, La., who
had buried Ws wife in the early part of
May, married again in three or four
weeks afterward. This so shocked the
moral sense of the community, that a
public meeting was called, and a proces-^
on formed and marched to his residence
and took him out. After being marched
out of his door yard to the tune of the
dead march, with lighted candles on each
side of him, the procession formed, mu
sic in front, the latter consisting of oil
cans, horns, tin pans, and a large bell,
carried on the shoulders oi two of (he
party, which was tolled continually, while
cries of mirth and jollity tended to en
liven the scene. After traveling the
principal streets and thoroughly arousing
everybody in town who was not engaged
in it, they proceeded to the final act, it
now being near-the hour of midnight.—
After forming properly, the procession
moved to the grave yard, where the joke
was finished by his kneeling down at the
gate and asking pardon of his late wife’s
spirit; after which the party proceeded
to a saloon, and taking a drink at his
expense he was permitted to join his
new-made wife—this being the third

The liver is then withdrawn, and a piece
of dogwood about four inches long, care
fully sharpened, is thrust into the incis
ion made by the fangs. The stick is
permitted to dry for a short time, when
it is dipped into a glutinous solution,
which, drying hermetically seals the pos
son which would otherwise decompose.
This piece of dogwood is used at the
head of the arrow. To be wounded with
such ail arrow is almost certain death.
