QUITMAN, GEO.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 22,
Oor Fourth Volume,
The present issue Commences llie fourth
volume of the Quitman Bavxkr. Thank- :
tnl lor past favors, we respectfully solie
it a coiitiuuiu.ee of patrol age for the fu
ture ; and hope all who are indebted for
advertising, subscript ion and job work
will c me forward at an early day and)
settle, tta we are very much in need of
funds lie amount*doe, are,genoraFy,
■mull, but effectively, represent a cun
sideiable atim. There ought to l u an
abundance of money in the. country at
present, aa cotton has brought an enor
mous price—and there can lie no excuse
lor the non-payment of small debts.
(iorrrnor Bullock's Message- 5
In another column will bo found a
brief synopsis of the message of the man
who now sits in the (iubernatnriu! chair
of the once proud Empire Stale—a Stale
once proud of such men as Stephens,
Cobb, Hill and Toombs ; aye, and she is
proud of their memory yet ; but it is a
memory ; the proud days of Georgia
statesmanship, we fear have passed a-'
way never to ictnru.
Hut hero we must enter a protest j
against the habit that some brother edi -
tors have fallen into, of calling this bold,
bad man : “The Bulloek”—“The Sfnge
Driver” ‘ His Express Excellency,” etc.
Such epithets do not do any good, and
they are unworthy the pens of men who
are battling with all the energy of heart j
and soul for the last vestige of Constitu* |
tional liberty in Georgia.
It in tnr duty, as the sentinel placed
upon a hill, to warn the people ; it is our
solemn duty to warn all men when cor- i
nipt ion, when venality, when fraud, when !
villiany, when seonndrelisin are laying
their HUareS to entrap the unwary, and i
to enmesh the heedless and the ignorant;;
this is plainly an editor’s duty, and in '
our humble judgment, he only weakens!
his own cause when he descends to the
use of laagunge litted only to appear in
the columns of Radical newspapers, or
to be heard in the purlieus of that ancient
fish matket—Billingsgate.
Yet, under the provoeations that edi
tors daily receive, we acknowledge that j
it is very hard to refrain from hitting j
hard blows ; hit them, brother editors, >
but use the keen, polished blado of the j
rapier, rutlie: than the dull, hoary broad
sword. But this by the way : Wliile'we
do not concur iistlie editorial nicknames j
of Gov. Bull' ck, wc yet, go as far as
any man in our cordial detestation and
abhorrence of the usurper, who now tills j
the Chair at Atlanta, and who has insul
ted and slandered the people of a whole
State, the meanest of whom is a peerless
gentleman, by the side of Gov. Bulk ck ;,
a man who went to Washington to con
spire against the State which he misrep
resents ; who in midnight council con
cocted the infamous message which, to
his eternal ami damning infamy, now ,
rests upon the State Journals ; who, in I
short, has done ull that a man could do
to insult, injure, slander, and defame the j
people of Georgia ; who will lie proved {
a liar by the Georgia Legislature ; who
is a traitor to all the best feelings of our ;
nature.
* <>, for a tongue to curse the slave.
Whose treason, tike a deadly blight,
Cos nes o’er the councils of the liravc,
To blast them in their hour ol might.”
God help ns ! God help the poor,
down-trodden Si nth ! l-'oes to the front
of her, foes to the right and hit of her ;
traitors in her offices ol power ar.d trust;
Southern wolves howling around the
bleeding foim of the prostrate South ;
Northern vultures and other unclean
birds of prey making ready for the last
fatal swoop upon the cotton and rich
products of the Southern fields ; men
willing to sell their souls for places ot
power and emolument; even a Southern
General, like Longstroet, dbwering to
the storm and pandering to Radical usur
pation : but, thank God, there are men
in the South who, ns in the dark days of
the Confederacy, will live upon corn
bread and cold water, rather than sell
themselves for Radical g'dd, or for Radi
cal promises of place and power.
IA. A resolution is pending in the
Kansas Legislature asking tor a Conati- i
tutional amendment extending the right
of suffrage, regardless of sex or color.
Go it, yet fanatics ! The next move will ;
lie to allow every man as many votes as j
he has children. When this lust amend I
incut takes effect, alt the hatehclor poli- j
tioians ot the country will be limiting ,
wives, so as to increase their influence
at the polls.
The New Capitol.
The Atlanta papers speak in glowing
terms of the new Capitol building in that
city, wddclt h is been takes possession of
ly the Legislature aud State officers. It
is considered one of the most nmgnitieeiit
structures in the South, aud its devora
ti ns are gorgeous {. the extreme.
'llie < often Tax Hill,
The new eotlon tax bill, which wtiß in
troduced iu the Senate last week, and
refeiicd to the appropriate committee, is!
still under advisement. This bill em
powers the Government to become a
purchaser of cotton at a stipulated price
and levies a direct tax ol three cents pr-t
pound on all cotton sold to other than
authorized government agents.
The object of this bid is to advance
the interest of New England mamifuctu
rci'B to the detriment and injury of,South
ern enterprise. Although pretending to
be for the advancement of the pecuniary
in ten at of the nation, it will materially
cripple the prosperity of cotton growers,
as well as all ol hers who design invest
imr capital at the South in manufacto
rios arid other works of improvement.
Our modern Radical law makers labor
entirely for the prosperity pf the capital
ists and speculators of New I'ngland.-n-
And this outrageous and disefiminatiug
tax-hill, makes it clear to the dullest
; corn prehension, that the manufacturing
monopolists of the North, (who have
giown rich upon Southern toil aud er/ter
prise) have tiecon e alarmed at the ri p
id How of capital Southward—as well
as the demonstrations our people arc
making towards the construction of fac
tories; aud therefore this bold st:oke ofi
a pensioned New England Senator, to
clothe the Government with extraordina
ry powers to force cotton growers to sell
the results of their labor to its impudent
officials. This will enable tbe govern
ment to furnish Yankee manufacturers
with the raw tpatciiul equally as cheap!
us it can be procured by the capitalists
who manufacture it. in the heart of the 1
cotton growing region.
The present Congress is the most cor
rupt assemblage of men that ever dis
graced a nationality. It lias been guilty
of c-vory outrage that the mind can con"
ccive or the huso passions of men sug
gest; lint in the long catalogue of injns-1
I ice and outrage, no viler measure has
ever been instituted, than this attempt
to cripple the energies and enterprise of
Southern men; to prevent the South from \
overcoming the state of wreck amlji uin,'
which the vandal hosts of Northern hate,
left behind, as mementoes of their barbar |
ity and v.ugcnncc. The inhuman rnon-
sters, clothed in official robes have rob
bed us of the “rights of man;” they have
forced us to drink to the dregs the bitter
cup of humiliation ; robbed us of our
i property; dispoiled us of all lint honor;
: and now demand—
j "A pound ol flesh cut out nearest the heart”
j that we shall forever continue the “hew
j ers of wood and drawers of water” lor
! New England cotton lords.
! But suppose this tax bill becomes a
| law, is any man so silly as to suppose
the arrogant Congressmen of the “so
j called” United States, will be satisfied
(with receiving only such cotton as the
producers w ill voluntarily sell in confer
j mily with terms of the Act. Ear fn in
jit. Southerners are a stern, stnhtio ru ,
1 people—and rather than sell to the Gov
j rnment, they will pay the tux and sell
j to the privato speculator, if need be,
jat half the government price Congress
will then take lurther measures to com
i pell the “rebellious” cotton growers to
! respect its desires and favor all its sche
mes of plunder and robbery. lu other
; words, the cotton crops ol t lie South will
be confiscated, and such Compensation
made as thievish law niakeis deem nee
cssary for the sustenance of “subjuga
ted rebels.”
Wo can recall to mind but one paral

A dispatch from Atlanta on the lfith.
says that “ a motion to rescind the act
unseating the colored members, and that
they lie reseated, was lost by a large
majority.”
This is evidencing the right spirit, and
honorable Georgians, everywhere, will
applaud the action of the Legislature.
Congiess has recognized our Constitu
tion as lepublican in form ; 'that instru
ment does not confer upon the negro the
right to hold office ; and therefore the
base suggestion for the reinstatement of
negroes in our halls ot legislation, we
are happy to know has received this
stem rebuke from the true represent.!
lives of the people. Georgians breathe
