without appeal. Now, I wish those men who '
arc so continually talking about the “poor
tiffin;” to bfcar what I say. Tiiose men who owe
large lehtfe can afford to go ihe higher courts,
while those who are comparatively or entirely
poor, bare no appeal whatever, and must take
the decision of the negro.
Another ingenious point attempted by ft
gentleman of the Convention is this. This
Convention says that “ upright and intelligent
jurors shall be provided.’’ Well, the law re*
gards all men a3 upright and intelligent. One
thing, however, is certain: that under that
law. no member of that Convention could serve
on a jury—except, indeed, a email number.
[Laughter.] Who is upright? Who is in
telligent? If au Express agent can be Gover
nor, who cannot be Justice of the Peace?—
[Laughter and applause.] If a little Mayor
can be Vice President of the United States,
who cannot be a juror? [Renewed laughter
and cheers.] Where are we going to?
You give an appeal in cases over fifty dollars
and under one hundred, from the Justice of
the Peace to the Superior Court; and when
you get there, you find four-fifths or six-sev
enths of the jurors negroes, and your Sheriff,
and Clerk, and all other officers of the court,
negroes also. Oh i but, say some, they will
elect white people! Well, what sort of white
people will they elect? I well tell you. But,
first let me say, that from this time forth the
classification- of the negro must be enlarged.
There is the black negro, the yellow negro,
and the white negro. And to tell you the truth,
I have more fespcct for the black nigger than
for the white; for God made him a nigger
while the other—the white one—i3 a nigger
from choice. I tell you candidly, T would
rather have a nigger Justice of the Peace than
one of these adventurers or renegades. Now,
if you elect a Governor for the State who
holds that the races are equal, the great pro
babilities are that he will appoint friends of
his own to the positions under his control;
and that he will, under the new state of af
fairs, appoint negroes to some good positions.
Perhaps he will make some of them District
Judges, or, indeed, Circuit Judges. Why not,
if they are equal?
In a great many parts of the country they
can have all the elected offices, from members
of the Legislature down. I tell you no decent
white man will consent to live in such a place,
jeopardizing as he does, every interest he has
in the world. What will be the r.esult? Why
the planting interest in such sections of the
country as may be most effected by the evil,
will be utterly destroyed, and the material
prosperity of the couutry ruined.
I could pursue almost indefinitely the anal
ysis of this Constitution, but I shall not. do it.
So many thoughts rush upon me that I actual
ly shudder when I see the possibility of the
people of my country doing what no civilized
country ever did before, in the fundamental
law of tiie land making those things equal
which God declared unequal. Pictures, dark
and horrid, float before my vision, night and
day, when I see people going along as uncon
sciously as though there was no danger ahead.
People of Cherokee, do any of yon hear me?
Will you permit me one word of remonstrance?
It is said that this Constitution is to get its
main support from your region of country.
Mf. A. W. Holcombe, (of Milton county,) in
the audience.—It will surprise them to hear it.
Mr. Hill.—I appeal to you, my friend, for I
know you are a true man. I appeal to you
and to all like you, to go home and tell your
neighbors what I have told you to-day, and
ask them for decency’s sake, for country’s sake,
for God’s sake, to save themselves and their
race in lower Georgia from such foul damna
tion?
Mr. Holcombe.—I will do it, sir.
Mr. Hill.—I know you will do it. See, my
friends, what an extreme of madness this is. It
is not Reason that has rushed the American
people into it. It is not Truth that has brought
them to it. Passion alone has done it—wild,
uncontraliable passion. Passion, captured
and controlled by the fatal ambition for office,
of the wily politician, is what has brought
this people and this country to the present
verge of ruin. [Enthusiastic applause.] —
Surely, it is not possible that there is a man in
this country who possesses even the first in
stinct fo honor, who would dare ratify such a
fundamental law as that. I ask you^ fellow-
citizens, to reflect on this : Your own conclu
sions must show you the errors of such a
policy.
I now pass to what may be called the moral
features of this Convention. I hear people
around the streets of Atlanta—people who
ought to know better, and who ought to have
more regard for common sense and descency—
saying that this Constitution is going to be rat
ified, and that the question is as to the candi
date for Governor. Well, if we cannot get a
better candidate than some people I do not
think it is worth contending for. We give up
the contest! “ Well, everybody says so.” I
never heard a zchiteman say he was going to
do it. Why do they say so? Is it because of
the question of the races, and the social su
premacy of the negro being established in the
fundamental law ? Oh, no, not for that. Then
why? Well—Relief. They put relief into it
—and that is what is called the moral feature
of the Constitution. I could not call it ex
actly political—I could not call it social; and
I had therefore to call it moral—though I beg
pardon of the word “moral” for treating it so
badly.
I never blink a question upon which the
people ought to hear me. I don’t care one cop
per cent—and I want you to understand it—
whether you or your people ever cast a vote
fbr me or not, and if you consent to be negroes
I would not have your vote.
^ I am going to speak plainly, I think myself
that a large'portion of our people ought to
ha\ e some portion of relief; and as far back
as nearly three years ago, some few of us in
the State turned our attention to the subject for
the purpose of devising some scheme that
should operate as a relief and be constitution
al and legal; and one that should be just, to
creditor and debtor alike. I would not con
sent to any other. I think we could have de
vised a plan, by this time, if we had had con
trol of the State Government. I have a sy

in a county of Georgia—one which I had in
tended to road to this audience, and may, at
some other time, give to the public, hut* the
difficulty in our way has been that there is a
party in Georgia, unscrupulous, dishonest and
false, who have taken control of the subject,
and so demoralized the people that nothing
honest or sensible, legal or constitutional can
be done; and this has been effected by flatter
ing the people, not with the reality, 'but the
idea of relief. So far from this Constitution
operating as a relief, it absolutely prevents re
lief, and prevents men in the State that might
possibly have brains euough to devise relief
from doing anything at all.
Now, then. I say, in the first place, this is
no relief. Why do I sav so? What is the
difficulty in the way of this Constitution? It
is not your State Constitution. What is the
difficulty in the way of vour Stay Law ? Why
it was not your State Constitution. It was
the Constitution of the United States The
United Slates Constitution says that “no law
shall be passed impairing the obligation of
contracts.’ i he same Constitution
times, but you cannot get these men with a
purpose to admit it. They have decided that
we are in the Union constitutionally. I do not
suppose we arc in in any other way just now.
This “relief” measure, my friends, is not
only no relief, but it was never intended for
relief. Not half a dozen men in that Conven
tion voted to place it in that Constitution, that
did not do it with the intent, at the time, to
cheat and deceive the people. Mark my word?:
take them down. I dare them to deny what l
say. [Applause.]
I have evidence that I do not doubt that
seine leading men at Washington—your fath
ers, my good Radical friends; your great
lights—wrote yoil word, or had some of von
informed—whether you told the balance of
the Convention or not, I can't say, though I
expect you did—that “you may put as much
‘relief’ iu as you please to get votes,” but
“when it comes to Congress, they would have
to knock it out.” The Congressmen, they said,
were under oath to observe the Constitution
of the United States, and that clause is con
trary to it. Now, the only improbable feature
of the story is, that a Radical should have
any compunctions about his oath. [Applause
and laughter.] The fact of the matter is.
when I first heard the story [ did not believe
it on that account, but I pursued the inquiry
further, and found it was true it would be
disregarded, but they did not say it was on
account of their oaths. [Laughter.]
I was passing through your city a few weeks
ago—I hope the gentleman I am going to talk
about will hear me; I dare him to deny what,
I say. 1 took the sleeping cur down at the
depot. There were three members of the
Convention in the berth right opposite me.
One of them I knew, or rather used to know
when he was thought to be somebody. lie
did not recognize me, however. The three
were talking—discussing tiie means by which
they could have the Constitution ratified. I
believe they are talking of the individual to
whom I f ave particularly referred as a candi
date for Congress. One of them says to an
other: “ Well, Colonel, I don’t believe in relief,
you know! 1 believe it is wrong: it is illegal
and unconstitutional; but I am going to vote
for it, and I'll tell you why. In tne district I
represent there are nineteen hundred whites
and twenty-nine hundred registered negroes;
and if we don’t put relief in we won’t get six
white votes out of these nineteen hundred. If
we do put relief in, there will not be six of the
nineteen hundred tiiat we shan’t get. And
although I think it is wrong, T am going to' put
it in, in order to carry tiie Constitution.” I
have not passed through Atlanta much while
the Convention has been in session—I don’t
care to do it—but I understand this sort- of
talk is quite common. Indeed, some members
charged it in the Convention as a bait, and it
certainly will not be denied. And has it come
to this? That the people are not only capable
of being cheated, but willing. Ah, my coun
trymen, mark what I tell you: I compress the
whole philosophy of this fraud into one single
sentence when I say that this is the death-blow
to negro suffrage. It is a bait set by them
selves to catch simpletons. [Applause.] Now,
who is willing and anxious to be caught? And
yet intelligent men go all over this country
and cry, “oh, the people want Relief.” “The
people will take anything with ‘Relief’ in it,”
as though the people were nothing but a lot of
rats to run into a trap which thieves scQ to
catch them. [Applause.]
I go one step further now, and say that not
only is this measure no relief, but it v> ill pre
vent the relief of the people, and ruin tin’s
country. Why, you not only ruin debtor and
creditor, but you ruin the population of the
country, even outside the question of negro
suffrage. Coupled, however, with that meas
ure. you fuin the entire interests of the coun
try. Why do I say so? Why in the first
place, this illegitimate, deceptive mode of re
lief prevents the people from contriving or
accepting any legitimate mode.
I have traveled a good deal over the State,
and I find everywhere that men are not dis
posed to settle their debts, because they be
lieve they will not have to settle them at all.
A case came, professionally, to my notice the
other day. It was that of the family of a gen
tleman who had died. A few years ago he
sold out his property, and loaned tiie result to
his neighbors. All that he had to show for it
was the promissory notes. He left, when he
died, a family of eight daughters—six un
married.
They are utterly unable to live except from
hand to mouth ; and they are absolutely doing
their own cooking and washing, while worth,
in the form to which I have referred, thousands'
of dollars; and the men who owe the money
fre living in’fine style, with all the luxuries
imaginable. They refuse to pay for the pro
perty’ they bought. You are therefore ruining
the credit class, as well as the debtor class, to
whom you hold out false hopes. You afe
simply postponing the day of payment. Now
you can get a good compromise. Everywhere
I go I tell the people to settle. A fine specta
cle, of which I know, was presented the other
day. A debtor gave up all his property to his
creditors. They shared it all out, and then
turned round and gave it back to him, saying
they would wait for the money until he could
pay it. They returned him the twenty-five
cents on the dollar which they had received in
order to make a man of him again. I have
known a great many cases settled on that
principle, and I do know that much more of it
could be doue if this miserable cheat of “ re
lief” was out of the way
its contradiction. The incorporation of this
relief scheme was effected for the purpose
of entrapping and deceiving the people; and
the man who would not iiesitate to entrap and
deceive the people on this matter of impor
tance would not iiesitate to commit any crime
iu the catalogue.
Mr by, the very man who believed it was
wrong to vote for it, was to be, or has been,
nominated for Congress, and I have no doubt
for that very reason. You say this is hard
talk, but it is not half the truth. A man ought
not to be blamed for telling the truth. Did
not you say you did it to cheat? Well—you
did not say to client—you said to get tiie votes
of the people. Ah ! you hypocrites and de
ceivers, you are marking out a te»ribie course
for yourselves. Deceive this oppressed people,
whom the parties you represent have already
bankrupted in property and fortune! Deceive
the people who have lost their all, and whom
you have induced into bankruptcy ! I tell you,
if you do, there will be no biding place for
you, either in this world or the next. High
waymen and bandits will refuse to associate
with you when you go to your long home.—
[Cheers.J
Well, but there are some cases where they
say this relief bill will not apply, for instance:
In suits against trustees, where trust property
is in the hands of toe trustees, or has been
invested by him in other specific effects, now
in his hands. That simply means that if a
trustee has been dishonest and disposed of the
trust property, he is not accountable; but if
he lias been honest and kept the trust pi operty
he is accountable. Did you ever see the cloven
foot sticking out so badly. [Laughter and
applause.] I know trustees who have used
thousands of dollars left to them by dead
fathers, for their children. These tiustees are
stiil rich. They have not, however, got the
specific funds originally bequeathed. They
have disposed of them and got other property,
and are rich to-day.
If be has used the money, and you can spe
cify the effects, be may be liable, but that pro
vision is of no service. Y» T ho can specify the
effects? There is one clause in this, which
has been penned by a lawyer, who, I under
stand, will get ten thousand dollars if he can
carry it through, not by putting it into the
Constitution, but in a certain case at law. Of
course I mean a so-called lawyer, not an hon
est one.
The Homestead Bill, they say, is a “liberal”
bill. It says:
“Each head of a family, or guardian, or
trustee of a family of minor children, shall be
entitled to a homestead of realty to the sum
£2,000 in specie, and personal property to the
value of $1,000 in specie, both to be valued at
the time they are set apart, and no court or
ministerial officer of this State shall ever have
jurisdiction or authority to enforce any judg
ment, decree, or execution against said pro
perty so set apart—including such improve
ments as may be made thereon from time to
time—except for taxes, or money borrowed
and expended in the improvement of the home
stead, or for the purchase money of the same,
and for labor thereon, or for materials fur
nished therefor and the removal of incumbran
ces ; and it shall be the duty of the General
Assembly, as early as practicable, to provide
by law for the setting apart and valuation of
said property, and to enact laws for the full
and complete protection and security of the
same to the sole use and benefit of said fami
lies aforesaid.”
Sell your property, you that have fine houses,
buy a vacant lot that will not be appraised at
more than two thousand dollars, and though
you may build a marble palace on it, you can
not be touched. That is ail yon have to do to
save yourselves from all just claims.
T tell you in a few words, establish this Con
stitution and you establish degradation and
robber}’ as the fundamental laws of Georgia.
[Great applause.] Glad am I, grateful I, that
when posterity reads tne horrid doings of this
time, and see the iniquitous thing intended for
a Constitution for the people of Georgia, they
will be able to say, “It, was not framed by
Georgians!” [Cheers.] They will be able to
say, “It was gotten up by those who came
from New England penitentiaries, and niggers
from the corn fields.”
Now, then, J say, fellow-citizens, this Con
stitution must be defeated if you have any
honor left you. It must not be ratified ; for
outside of all other questions it sends you down
to posterity with a character no white man
should desire to bear, and, I am sure, no black
man either. It is for the interest of the black
man. You must protect him from these ad
venturers. It is for the interest of the white
man. Your honor, your character is involved
in this contest. Let others do as they may,
there is no possibility upon this earth, in any
contingency whatever, of inducing me to give
my support to that Constitution, or my obedi
ence, except as compelled and forced. [Tre
mendous applause.]
How, then, is it to be prevented ? I, for my
self, see no difficulty in the way. The people,
when left to themseives, are al right; as to
their honest purpose I have no doubt in the
world. But for tbe masses, led by designing
politicians, I have no respect whatever.
We must forget all former differences; we
must forget ail passion. If I have used harsh
language to-day, it is only to bring before you
in all its bearings tbe instrument called “A
Constitution for the State of Georgia.” I ap
peal to you by the horrors of the future; I
appeal to your hearts ; I appeal to your con-
cience ; I beg of you to stop! I beg of you
---such measures as this Relief bill—with
clerical commissions in tbeic pockets. Oh!
how shocking! I conjure you to teach the
people truth. Teach the people to love truth
ana honor it. It is the way out of all our
own difficulties.
Next to the ministers I appeal to you, my
lady friends. Gen. Franklin said bad things
about Gen. Pope, but Gen. Pope told the truth
when he said the ladies of Georgia were a
unit against Reconstruction (so-called.) —
[Cheers.] I would scorn the husband of my
bosom as unworthy of me, if I should or could
bear him whisper to bis prattling boy that he
was no better than a uegro. [Applause.] I
tell you. you must bring your powers to bear
on this matter. The movement is to degrade
you and your children, to bring you into col
lision with the negro, to depreciate your pro
perty, to destroy your interests, vour govern
ment, your liberty, and you must wake lip.—
Use vour social powers, but not in a spirit of
vindictiveness. I have not the slightest vin
dictive feeling for any* mortal living. Self-
preservation and self-defense, however, requite
that this matter be met at once, met instantly,
and met decisively.
Old men, you who have spent most of your
days under a good government, I appeal to
you. Do not vainly fritter away the last days
of your life to bring your children under such
a government as that.
Young men, I address you, and would to
God I could speak to every young man in
America to-day. Would to God I could have
every young man of Georgia and of the South
before me to-day'. I would conjure them bv
_the graves of our sons, and the sleeping places
of our comrades, and I would make every
youth swear before heaven and earth that the
slaves who served their fathers should never
govern them. [Enthusiastic applause.]
And you, my colored friends, do not be
ashamed of the position which God gave you;
act well your part, there al! the honor lies. I
do not know why our Heavenly Father gave
you a black skin and gave me a white one -I
do not know why’ he made your physical con
formation dificrent from mine. I do not know,
and I cannot tell. It is His inscrutable wis
dom. He did it wisely. He did it for your
good. Observe, I beseech you, the position
that youf Heavenly Father gave yon, aud
spurn, as you would the poisonous serpent,
the miserable creature that would whisper in
your ear to avert His law in order to give your
deceiver power. Those men, who tell you to
deceive you, that you know and understand nil
the laws relating to suffrage and the laws of
government, say what you know to be false.
They are tramplers upon the Constitution of
the country’, and they do this wickedness for
no other purpose than to induce you to give
them offices. Are you w illing to be deceived?
Are you determined to be deceived? Join the
men that are willing to protect you in your
proper place. Join the men whose interests
are your interests. Take their advice, and all
will move along in peace together. But, if
you wiil go; if you will not listen to reason;
if you will listen to the false teachings of your
deceivers, go on. Believe the falsehood 'that
God made yon not different from the white
race ; believe the falsehood that, uneducated,
ignorant as you are—as you know you are—
whether rightly or wrongly, you are able to
exercise all the responsibilities of suffrage.—
Go on ; bat aiarlfe what I tell you, I give you
my warning, my’duty is discharged, my skirts
are clear. You are rushing on to destruction
for y ourselves and for your children, and when
evil befall yon, the only people that will shed
a tear over your fate are the Southern men you
have abandoned. And those who will rejoice
at your wrong are the creatures that betray
and deceive you. They have betrayed race
and country. They have been false to truth.
They have devised and executed a fraud.—
Think you they will be true to you ? Nay!
Nay!
My friends, of all classes and of all condi
tions, wake cp ! The hour is on you. Wake
bp! The issue is at hand. I care not for your
former opinion, or y’our former action, come
up now. This is our country, let ns live in it.
This is our country, let us preserve it. This
is onr country, let us redeem it.

The Publishers will commence, on November

Fashion Papers of Europe, especially with th«
famous Bazar of Berlin, which supplies tii#
fashions to the leading journals of Paris, to
furnish the same to them in advance, so that
henceforth the fashions will appear in Harper's
Bazar simultaneous with their publication in
Paris and Berlin—an advantage enjoyed by no
other journal in the country.
Tbe patrons of Harper's Bazar will receiva
every fornight large pattern-plates, containing
from forty to fifty full-sized patterns of ladies',
misses’, and children’s bonnets, cloaks dresses,
under-clothing, and other articles, accompanied
with the necessary descriptions and dirreetions,
and occasionally an elegant Colored Fashion
Plate of the size of Harper’s Weekly.
Harper’s Bazar will contain 10 folio pages
of the size of Harper’s Weekly, printed on
superfine calendered paper, aud will be publish
ed weekly.
