Free Barbecue—Cedar Greek District of Coweta County- On Thursday of last week, the citizens of Cedar Creek District gave a free barbecue, and a general invitation to attend. It was our for tune and pleasure to accept. F'ive or six hun dred whites and one hundred negroes congre gated on the ground, near the residence of Judge J. F. Cook, At 11 o’clock, Judge Cook took his seat as President of the Democratic Club of the Dis trict. An opportunity was extended to all res- dents of the District, who had not joined the Club heretofore, to then have their names en rolled. Thirty-six came forward and united with the Club. Over fifty had previously join ed. We were informed that there were only two or three white voters, citizens of the Dis trict, who were now out in the cold. Cedar Creek District is almost a unit for Seymour and Blair. In amessage to the House communicat ing the names of those who received the next highest vote to those negro mem bers expelled, Bullock, takes occasion to toss his horus and switch his tail. He in effect acccuses the members, who voted to exclude the negroes, with com mitting perjury. His Excellency paws up the dust and threatens them with his master in this wise : Is that a republican form of govern ment, where a majority of the electors rule ? Are not the privileges of a citizen “abridged” by your action ? Does not the Constitution of the United States guaran tee to each State a republican form of government, and to the citizens all their privileges or immunities? Is it not the duty of Congress, by ap propriate legislation, to enforce that Con stitution ? Have we, from our past experience, any reason to believe, that Congress will fail in its duty. lie concludes with gloryfying the ne gro, and makes him a much better patriot than the white man. The House became aroused and acted thus; During its reading Mr. Burtz said it was disrespectful to the House. We had declared negroes ineligible, and let us stick to it Let us vindicate our dignity aud return tlie same to bis Excellency. Mr. Duncan offered the following: Resolved, That that portion of the communication of his Excellency reflect iug upon the action of this House in de ciding upon the eligibility of free per sons of color, under the Constitution, be returned to his Excellency, with the fol lowing resolution : I come to day to urge you to gird on your armour, to do your duty in this great coufl ct. not with the sword ; I would that the sword might be sheathed forever, and that liberty might never need so danger ous an ally and defender. I prefer peace. I want peace. 1 want rest. Nearly six ty winters have shed their snows upon my head; nearly thirty of these years have been spent in the public service, battling against these same enemies of the rights of the people, ot the States and of the principles of the Constitution of 178/.— I can, thertfore, honestly say with Gen. Grant, “Let us have peace.” Alas ! he but “holds the word of promise to the ear and breaks it to the hope.” Peace is not the child either of wrong, or of oj.pres sion, or of despotism. These are the works of the wicked, and holy writ teaches us that they shall have no peace. This pearl of great price to nations and to men can only be found in the principles of jus tice. All the good men of this country seek it, ardently desire it. The two great political parties offer it to them. Let us go and search for it—search lor it in the conduct the acts, the declared principles, and in the characters of the candidates of these organizations which divide the peo pie of the United States. Those who call themselves the Union Republican party met at Chicago during last May and placed Gen. Grant and Mr. Colfax before the country as their candidates and the ex ponents of their principles. Gen Grant lias obtained a wide spread reputation as a soldier, none whatever as a statesman. 11 is administration of the Congressional desputis u established from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, was weak and wicked to the last decree. He openly avowed and acted upon the principle of carrying out. your land has been ravaged, your proper-1 to be voted specially to bond-holders.— ty destroyed, your wives a nd daughters j The true soldiers always honors “a foe- insuhed, you have been stripped of the! man worthy of his steel;” those Confed- comuionest rights of freemen, subjected ! erate soldiers who did their own duty in lor years to an insolent and brutal milita-j the late war, would not willingly See one ry despotism, which has crowned its own j pledge of the United Stares to her own soldiers violated, one right withheld, nor would they pluck one laurel from the brow of a single soldier, whether native or foreign, who fought them iu tne late war; besides other and nobler reasons, what ever glory they may have deserved will not be lessened by encomiums upon their adversaries. Finally, this platform con gratulates “the country upon the assured success of the reconstruction policy of Congress as evinced by the adoption of a majority ot the States lately in rebellion, of Constitutions securing equal civil and political rights to all;” pledges the Radi cal party to maintain equal suffrage in ail these “late rebel States,” but expressly declaring that “the question of suffrage in all the loyal States properly belongs to these States.” “This policy of reconstruc tion,” thus endorsed by the Chicago Con vention, makes up a clear and final issue between military despotism and Constitu tional Government. It leaves no place for compromises, neither party can give quarter, “Yse victis”;must be inscribed upon the banners of the contesting hosts. Lt was meet and proper that the enuncia tion of the success of this policy should be clothed in language of open, shame less falsehood. It is not true that a ma jority of the States lately iu rebellion, or any one of them, have adopted Constitu tions securing equal civil or political rights to all, or any other Constitutions what ever There was not a single act from the beginning to the cousumation of these atrocities which had the voluntary assent of the people of either of these States.— The whole scheme, in all ol its parts, and by all of its machinery, was concocted aud adopted with the sole view of defeat ing the popular will. You know, fellow citizens, that there was not a native white man in the State who gave public utterance to a single woid of approval of any of its provisions. One of its prominent features, the 14th Constitutional Amendment, had been near ly unanimously rejected by the Legisla ture of Gaorgia. Even those who advo cated its adoption relied upon the infamy of the Radical party rather thau upon the merits of the scheme to accomplish that eud. Ex-Gov. Brown, its leading sup porter, commended it to your acceptance solely upon this ground. It was the cus tom of ancient heathens to worship rep tiles, crocodiles and demons, to whom they would sacrifice even wives and children to propitiate their wrath, and to arrest their ferocity. It was upon this princi ple that you were urged to lay your honor, and your manhood at the feet of your ene their election.

He was followed by Col. \Y. F. Wright iu a clear, forcible and eloquent speech, consu ming one and a half hours in its delivery. His remarks were principally directed to the under standing of his colored hearers. He was very fortunate in what he said and in the manner in which he said it. All in all, we think he did great good for the Democracy. When Col. Wright had concluded, it was an nounced that dinner was ready. The ladies filled the first table. The lords of creation, uot judges of the qualifications of its own members, and not the Governor; they are the keepers of their own consciences, and not his Excellency. On the adoption of the resolution, the ayes were 71, nays 32. even against their plainly declared pur poses in the acts of reconstruction, while acknowledging that these acts left the people of the States subject to be recon structed, free to accept or reject the pro posed measure. ‘ Under his instructions, iiis satraps pro.-eribed newspapers, dis missed civil officers, arrested citizens for exercising this express privilege as “im pediments” to reconstruction, thereby making ihe exercise of a legal right, con ceded by hims-df, a crime punishable at ihe pleasure of his military commissions, ile accepted the confidential position of Secretary of War from the President, hnu his veracity directly impeached by five of his eolleagues and attempted to support his veracity by pleading his own treuciie ry.

Other means were resorted to iu order to manufacture an apparent assent of the people. Twenty thousand ot you, all of you who had even held the office ot Justice of the Peace, were already dis franchised by this “policy.” The igno rant blacks were enfranchised, were fed, to itself with out the assent of three-fourths of the States; none but States can vote upon rhe subject ; yet the Radicals have de clared that their military provisional Gov ernments shall vote to alter the Constitu tion before they shall be admitted into the Union. This pretended amendment is itself drawn with the inteDt to destroy the equa’ity of the States, while seeming to apply the same rule to all. The States which did not hold slaves before the war had but few negroes among them ; most of them but enough to elect a single Repre sentative to the Legislature, none of them enough to gain an additioral member in Congress : while in some of the'Southern States the negroes were the most nurner ous, and in all of them formed a substan tial part of the population. While under this amendment the exclusion of the ne gooes from the right of suffrage would not cost New England a single vote iu Congress, or a single electorial vote, it wou’id deprive Georgia of one half of her members and electors, and the late slave holding States of more than thirty mem bers of Congress. This vile and dastard ly fraud is well worthy of the whole states manship of their party. Y r et, even on these terms, terms prescribed by the Con stitution, these usurpers now declare that they will maintain negro suffrage. These covenant-breakers not only disregard their compacts with others, but ref use to abide by them when made wholly by themselves. This amouuts to the declared purpose to administer the Same Constitution, the same fundamental law, differently in dif ferent parts of the United States. And this simply means that the Radicals do not intend to regard the Constitution at all whenever the late rebel States are con cerned, though they may be in the Un ion. I am not in the least surprised at their purpose, but I am surprised at its j sas > “Hear the slogan of Hampton and Forest and Cobb and Toombs,” at the South. In the South it is, “help, help us, Cuffce, or we sink ! Under the fear of tlie unarmed, impover ished, depopulated South, with tlie same “brave colored troops who fought so no bly ie the war,” armed and equipped and keeping “watch and ward ’ over her loy alty. the Radicals of the North are organ izing “Grand Armies of the Republic, arming hundreds of ihousands of loyal militia “from snowy white to sooty.” — All over the South their notes of prepara tions, their calls to arms are heard, and every nerve is strained to produce a col- li-ion between the blacks aud the whites in order to create a necessity or pretence for Grant’s peacemaker—martial law.— But a few day3 ago, a mass meeting, said to number several hundred blacks arid a score or two of their keepers, met at At lanta. Ex Governor Brown, Bullock’s Chief Justice, was their chief spokesman. He still believes in the omnipotent power ol fear and avarice over the hearts and conduct of all white men. He openly declares that blood and arson, at least, shall inaugurate the triumph of the Demo cratic party and its principles. He ad vises his party to go to the polls armed. I suppose to overawe and intimidate, and possibly to supply with bullets any de ficiency in ballots. He tells them that four millions of people never gave up the ballot (whenever exercised, whether right fuliv or wrongfully acquired) without blood. This false and revolutionary ut terance was for no other purpose than to produce a war of races. He knows it was false; for he is not ignorant of history, certainly not ignnraut of Radical rule over his own country since the overthrow of the Confederate government.
