fall and that of the Confederacy were ! 0 f
eotemporaneous. Ilcnce no necessity of t he United States Government
any quibbling about the dead past. Now,
if we understand President Johnson's
plan of rcconitruction, he demands of
the States—
1st. Abolition of slavery.
2d. Repudiation of the war debt.
3d. The ratification of the Congres
sional amendments to the Constitution.
Georgia has already complied with two
of his terms, and why may not our Legis
lature, now in session, set us right on the
other. It is true that the second clause
of the amendment is objectionable; yet
the President, through Mr. Seward, says
it restricts instead of enlarges the powers
of Congress. 15ut suppose tha President
is Wrong in his construction, it matters
not; fur our Legislature must either rati
fy the amendment, or we must stay out
in the cold. Now we should consider the
question in this light only : Wbuld a fail-
ura to ratify produce greater evils than a
ratification. If not, !• t the Legislature
ratify it, for such action is demanded of
them regardless of their views or wishes
President Johnson dictates the terms, and
all that Ixxly has to do is to register his
decree. A compliance mny secure part
admission in the Union; a refusal brings
military government as long lived as itself.
We say, let the decree be registered with
out hesitation.
The Northern mind is excited about
the negro, and our actiui s in reference
to tliis race are closely watched. If our
legisiatois are wise they will not give tlie
Radicals uiiy just cause to weep and
howl be cause of the laws for the govern
ment of ficHmen. Let ample protection
of j ersott am! property be accorded them.
Mure than this neither the blacks nor
their weeping, groaning friends (so-called)
of the Radicals have a right to ask. In
abort, let Georgia be just, and if harm
belall us,let others be chargeable therefor.
If the President should add to his
terms that all clauses in'our Constitution
which may possibly be coustrucd favora
bly to secession be stricken out, let them
be stricken out. We will never have
any use ^or them ; for the next effort at
secession and disunion wiil not originate
with us, but in the North eastern section
01 tho United States.
With regard to the power of Congress,
we formerly thought that body could not
exclude the Representatives of any State.
It seems, however, that the war has en
larged its powers—the extent of said
enlargement is not yet known—and that
the framers of the Constitution did not
know what they were doing. No man o;.n
foretell the limit of Congressional en
croachments. Present appearances indi
cate that we will be taxed without repre
sentation, and be deprived of the freedom
of election. Against the first wrong we
have no remedy, except the sober second
thought; against the second we can offer
this resistance, if not permitted to elect
representative men, our friends, we can,
at least refuse to elect our enemies. Our
whole duty is to accept fully the results
of the war, which apply to State and
State institutions alone, and join hands
with ail friends of the Constitution in
their efforts to restore our national re-
Jatiors.
