He vot d for and tdill endorses the action of
the first meeting.
Then and Now.
Daring the war of 1812. the New England
States threatened to accede from the Union, and
K,, far did they carry He ir opposition t - the
Government, that the Governor General of
Canada sent an agent to fV»ston to negotiate
terms for the annexation to tlie Briti.-h I rou j-
ces of the disaffected States; and had not the
American arms boon triumphant in the mean
time, it is almost certain that the Canadian
emissary would have returned home crowned
with success. Knowing that money is tue
sinews of war, associations were formed in the
communities referred to to advise and deter
men from subscribing to the government loans.
In IV*ton tlie agents of the Treasury Depart
ment advertised to receive subscription:. but
careful to date Dud Dtc names »f mlsonbcrs tcvuld be
kept secret. _
Now reader, would you not think that New
England would, in all coming
pure consistency, be the supporter and defend
er of disunion and secession, and the lust one
In nil of God’s creation to favor the annexing
a penalty to acts of which she had been guilty,
when committed by others' How changed.
New England is to-day the pink of loyalty,
and clamors loudly for the hluod and property
of Southern secessionists, while their only
crime was an honest effort to maintain consti
tutional liberty. Oh! consistency, thou art a
jewel.
The Negro Exodus.
Wo fear that our fanners arc not exerting
themselves as they should to retain the negroes
as laborers. Every week Newman is visited by
one, two or more persons, whose sole business
is to hire laborers for Mississippi and other
States. We trust that these parties will not
receive aid and encouragement from our own
citizens ; for every one who induces a laborer
to emigrate strikes a fatal blow at the prosper*
ity of our country. We urge our farming
friends to look to this question in time, and bv
all fair and legal means they should seek to
render the blacks contented, and encourage
them to make another effort, and perhaps pro*
pitious seasons and hard licks may ldess them
and their employers with a plentiful harvest
in 18C7. The shrewd negroes are advising
their race to leave for distant homes, knowing
full well that the fewer remaining here the
higher will their wages be. This is a correct
view of the Subject, and good field hands will
command from $250 to $.'100 next year, unless
means are resorted to to check emigration.
Freedom His Ruin.
The negro referred to Ixdow was an humble,
doc ile Have and was never suspected of p-sscss-
in- any of the passions of a murderer. While
jt is true he should be punished lor the crime
if guiltv. still those who forced freedom on
him are far guiltier than he. 'I"l»e Macon Tele

State Statistics.
From the report of the Comptroller General
we gather the following facts. The entire
bonded debt of the .Stale is $5,708,o00—$2,-
670,600 are in old bonds. The polls of whites
are 86,900—polls of negroes 65,900. The num
ber of maimed soldiers is 914. The total num
ber of acres of land returned in 1800 was 68,-
845,289; in 1866, 80,116.928, being a decrease
of 8,228,860. The total value of land in 18<iO
was $161,764,555; in 1866, $108,112,524 ; and
the average value ]H’V acre in 1860, $4 85 ; in
I860, $8 42, being a decrease of $1 48 per acre,
lu order to form a correct estimate of the ac
tual decrease, fifty per cent, must be either
deducted from tlie value of land in I860, or
added to t-liat of 1800. The value of land in
1800, in the present currency, amounts to
$242,647,482, which, compared with that of
1860, shows ail actual decrease of $189,584,908
in United States currency, amounting to three-
fifth of its value since 1800. City and town
property has, as it is perceived, been returned
at a higher valuation than any other species of
property.
Money and solvent debts in in I860 were re
turned at $107,880.2oS. equivalent t > $l(il.-
004.8S7 IT. S. eutrenev : in 1880 at $84,521,678
—decrease since 1800. $120.482,70tt Merchan
dise in 1S60 was returned at $15,577,198, equiv
alent in the present currency to $28,805,789 ;
iu 1800 at $10,983,178—decrease $12,432,010
since 1S00.
The total value of property (exclusive of
slaves) iu 1800 was $809,029,922, equal to
$554,441,884 United States currency ; in 1806,
$222,188,787—decrease since 1800 of $822,208.-
095. The taxable property of 1800 amounts
to $207,051,077. exclusive of railroads, luniks,
express companies and foreign insurance agen
cies. The number of slaves returned on the
Tax Digest iu 1800 was 450.068. valued at
$302,094,855; other property, $809,027,922.
making a total of $072,822,777, amounting in
currency to $1,008,484,105; total value of
yiuperty in I860'. $S=,iso,ic>T , Jwrvase since

Washington. D. ('., Get. 13. 1866.
Col. AY. II. Benueson and Maj. H. V. Sullivan,
JJuiney, Illinois :
Gextlkmex—It would give me great pleasure
to comply with your request, and visit Illinois
to meet my old friends and neighbors, and to
talk to them face to face upon the great ques
tions now before the country. But it is not
practicable for me to do so. My public duties
forbid it.
Our Government is worth preserving. No
people were ever blessed with one better worth
it. There are now two tendencies in public
atfciirs, liotli of which are fraught with danger.
One is to a centralization -T power in the Gen
eral Government: the other, an absorption by
the legislative department of many of the pow
ers and prerogatives of the executive and the
judiciary.
Tin safety of a free government is in keeping
the jvwer near the people. This was well un
derstood by tlie statesmen who formed the ori
ginal thirteen States, and united them and their
‘ i people in one Federal Government. They gave
io the General Government only such powers
io tlie mates respectively and tLrir people.
And in framing Mate constitutions -ad laws
tiny placed as mucli power .is was compatible
with tuc general welfare of ihe 8uite in the
goverinnent of counties, townshipe, ;uid lesser
in the Constitution it will iu time change the
entire structure and texture of our Government
and sweep away all the guarantees of safety
devised and provided by our patriotic sires ot
the Revolution,
o a & * ©
Another blow which tlie proposed amend
ment aims at the Government which our fath
ers founded is the change of the basis of repre
sentation. This would be iff very pernicious
effect. Aggregate p -pulation is the true basis
of representation. N<> matter how the elective
franchise be disposed of. whether exercised by
few or many, ali da.-x.ses of the community are
represented. The interests of all cla.->cs ot
people in the same community are so interwo
ven and commingled that they cannot be sepa
rated, and whoever wields the representative
power must do if for tlie g «>d or ili of all—

American flag—that glorious emblem of liber
ty. and that, too, over the building of men

The 3d section of the proposed amen lmer’
disfranchises the great majority of the e-lu -ate '
men of the States which have been in rehelli.m,
and excludes them from any parficipatmn in
the affairs of the 8tate and federal G< v, la
ments. Tlie entire control ot tiie Governments
of these Suites will be placed in the hands of a
meagre minority of the men m t at all qualified
for such control : and they, as general thing,
not of the most intelligent and capable classes.
No such sweeping and indiscriminate proscrip
tion is remembered since the days of Philip II-
of Spain. It is not t-> be expected that in lin
age and country, and with our race, a maj rity
ot the eduucated men of ten States will long
submit to be excluded from allshare in making
and administering the laws by which their
lives, liberty and property are to be judged,
without the constant presence and pressure of
a force adequate to coerce obedience. The ad-
doption of this amendment will involve the
necessity of maintaining an army to enforce it.
widen of itself will lie dangerous to liberty,
and add greatly to the burdens of taxation, al- '
ready grievous.

wiio had rushed to their assistance, making partiality m all the relations ot life.
£l lie is not a creature ot impulse—not an
extremest—but conservative and charitable in
ail tilings—in religion, in politics and in his
various social relations. As Mayor of Rome,
Justice of tlie Inferior Court, and Delegate to
the State Convention, which adopted our pre
sent Constitution, all his official acts were
marked by these characteristics.
“ In addition to ail this, he is emphatically
a self-made man—sprung from the humblest
ided by poverty, he
id industry of his
boyhood and early manhood to the scanty
support of hirnself ami aged parents, to whom
he has clung and supported with filial devo
tion, throug'ii all the vicisitudes of adverse
fortune. At the age of 17 he came to Rome,
•a poor, obscure,uneducated and penniless boy,
and failing to get better employment, he en
tered as a common laborer in a brick yard at
S7 or $8 per month. He afterwards served
an apprenticeship of twelve months at type
setting. in the office of the Coosa River Journal.
“His indomitable energy, quiet, unobtrusive
manner, and close attention to business, had
commended him by this time to one of our
wealthy, influential citizen’s—Col. Shortei —
who employed him, at a small salary, to at
tend his toll-bridge across tiie Etowah river—
a position which he occupied for four or five
years—his salary being greatly increased,
which enabled him to buy a few books. It
was here in this obscure, humble position he
constituted himself his own school-teacher,
tnd laid the foundation of an honorable and
useful manhood- Commencing with the low-
. est elemenatry studies, he mastered almost
rican Hag. V. hat was /reason tnen seems ; unaided, the various branches of our English
* loyalty now. Times are sadly out of ; education, from the grammar and arithmetic
| to that of the Calculus and various sciences
taught in our Universities. He also devoted
many of his spare moments from his bridge
I duties to the study of the Greek and Latin
languages.. Thus instead of spending his time
in idleness and tampering with temptations to
j vice, ss many an inconsiderate one would have
dune, ho. by a rigid ecc-nomy.self-denial, dose,
[ hard application and indomitable will, Carved
! out for him elf an education which, although
it kicked the polish and finish of a collegiate
course, was thorough and practical, and being
self-obtained,formed those traits and dements
of character essential to success and useful
ness in life. To economy, industry and dose
application to business, he combined the hab
iis of thorough investigation, system and self-
reliance:
“After completing the course of study he
had marked out for himself, he commenced
b'p.iritorv for murderous the study of law, which lie prosecuted with
se are pi uu questions and ought j unabated industry, in connection with Ii is du
ties at Ihe bridge. In this new field of labor
