(Concluded from first page.) 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.

GREAT VARIETY-NEW STYLES TEST’S"? J5.H3 ©SSaV mmm %mm 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.
