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 lel ease in all history. Philip 11, of Spain tried to make the Nethcrlanders sell to him the products of their looms; that attempt cost him the brightest jewel in the Spanish Cfowo, Otegai had hts Bru Ins; Charles 1, his Cromwell, Philip of Spain his Netherlands, and the United States-* may prolk by their examples! True to their Oaths They can't be Intimidated. 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 ! freer—the Legislature li a s exhibited !backbone! Stoeklioltler's Meeting.
