that the prowpeefs of the Of>liege were never

In a circular letter be mi « :
* Hat I Jit and wi'h the Faculty and College onr
girls me now enjoying the society ofloted ones.
At home they will represent this an a Methodist
College -one that cherishes the spirit of prayer
arid liberality- one that hi reuses Christ instead
ol breeds one in which the respective chtiuiH ol
different communions me never discussed or
urged by President or Professors--one in which
pupils substitute study f »r contentions about or
thodoxy- -and one in which every girl is allowed
to adhere to the faith of her Father, and none
dure to molest or make her afraid. If false im
pressions have been made, these representatives
from all the churches will correct them. Reac
tion will net In; and the opening of the next
'Term will find our former pupils present and re
inforced by many others, influenced not by ru
inor, c onjecture or contrivance, hut by the un
▼ a rubbed story of those whose sojourn with us
prepared them to testily that the President and
Professors of Andrew Female are too honest, too
gentlemanly, to invest their strength Jand ft jnv
pil'x time, in efforts to proselyte a child.”
By reference to an adver isement in to day’s

lege resumes exercises on the 16th of September.
The terms are moderate, location healthy, and
the Faculty cannot be excelled.
The Washing of l-’eet.
A Quitmun correspondent of the Savannah
Advertiser writes that journal under date of Au
gust 13th, that "Social equality was carried Into
effect lost Sunday at liethlulieni, a Hardshell
clinch situated three miles fioni this place, by
a white and black brother wathing each otherV
feet.”
We know nothing about the transaction re
ferred to; u white man may have washed a black
brother’s feet; but this, of itself, is not, necessa
rily "social equality.” In the house of God.
according to the teachings of Jehovah, all ineu
are on the same platform of equality. There,
all distinction* disappear. Stations in life are
Ignored; and the most humble is the peer of the
noble and distinguished. If, therefore, a while
brother washed the feet of a black ono.it was
merely an act of humility. The "washing of
feet” fs a doetilnnl ceremony practiced by the
Primitive Baptist Church, and considered equal
ly necessary as the ceremony of the "Sacrament.”
And yet, where is the nmn in all this land, who
w ill discover the practice of "social equality,”
when w hite and black men approach the sacred
table together, nnd partake of the "Ford's Sup
per?” The religion of Jesus Christ, (certainly
as proclaimed from the orthodox pulpit.) makes
no distinction on account of color or station in
life. The greater the humiliation, in the Ford's
service, the great? r will be the reward hereaf
ter.
Justlc® to our Primitive Baptist friends de
manded from us this vindication of character.
WV*do n«>t admire the idon of promiscuous wash
ing of feet, bu* we scout the idea thut Jts prac
tice indicates social equality.

Hr wy ON Fkwaud - The (\nhtmbns Enquirer
suggests that as James L. Seword’s name appears
as one of the leaders of the "True Democrats” of
Georgia, that they so change their assumed title
as to indicate their prevent- status, and calj
themselves the "Reconstructed True Democra
cy.” As Seward was but recently a Radical
leader in Georgia, we think it pretty cheeky in
him and his twenty comrades tortile the suppor
ters of Greeley and Brown out of the Democrat
ic party. Hut when even good men get their
heads turned in the wrong direction there is no
telling bow many foolish acts they will commit
before they get right again. We w ill have hopes

the Gouveiition at Atlanta on the 20tb inst. w ill i

were be converted to-day, we should not doubt

A SPEECH BY HORACE GREELEY
CARPET-BAGOFRK AND THIEVES COME IN
FOR A SHARP OF 111# SCATHING HE
MARKS.
The follow ing is an address made by Horace
Gs Fu.EY, at Portland, Maine, on the 14th in«t.
Read it carefully; it will do you good, and influ
ence ft very favorable opinion of the next Presi
dent o f the Foiled .States :
Mr. (hairman amt holies and Gentlemen
It iscettainly true that throughout |the course,
i of rnv life. so far as I have been connected with
public affairs. I have struggled with such capac
I ity An God Mm given me for first, impartial and
| itbivcr.al liberty; seeord lor the union nnd
great new* of our common country, and third,
and by no means least, when the former end
I wa« attained, for early and hearty reconciliation
and peace among onr countrymen. For these,
gn at ends I hat e struggled, nnd hope the issue
of the third is not doubtful. I thoroughly com
prebend that no personal consideration has
drawn this vast assembly together. Other high
I **r and grander considerations have collected
; you around me to day. It is a part of the un
written law of our country that a candidate for
I the Presidency may not make speeches in vin-
| dica inn and commendation of the principles
j whereon he is supported, or the measures which
j his election is intended to promote, though a
qandidate lor Vice President is under no such
j inhibition. Ido not merely acquiesce In the
I restriction; I acquiesce and affirm its propriety.
| The t •mpta.iion to misinterpret and inisrepre
j sent a candidate for the higher posts is so great,
i and the means ol circulating such perversions
j among the people, who never see a word of
| their refutation, are so vast that the candidate
j has no moral right to subject hi* friends to the
ncribi he must brave, if not invite, by taking
part in the canvass. Vet there Is a truth to he
ottered in bebulf of those who have placed roe
before the American people in my present, .at
titude which does them such honor that I claim
the privilege of slating it here find now. This
is that truth : No person has ever yet made the
fact known that he proposed to support or act
ively did support my nomination whether at
Cincinnati!, : t Ba.timore, or iu any ac ion
wblcb resulted in sending delegates to either
Convention, has sought office at my hands, ei
ther for himself or any one else: nor has .any one
suggested to me that I might strengthen myself
as a candidate by promising to appoint any one
to any important, office whatever.
In a very few instances, lees than a dozen I
am certain, some of the smaller fry of politicians
have since my double nomination hinted to me
that it might increase my chance of election by
promising a post office or some such place to
my volunteer correspondents respectively. I
have not usually responded to these overture*,
but I now give general notice that should I be
elected I will consider tbe claims of these m\
timely aspirants after those el the more modest
and reticent shall have been fully satisfied. (Ap
plause.) In two or three instance}* I have been j
asked to say w hether I would or would not. if I
elected, confine my appointments to Repnbli.- j
cans. 1 answer these by •pointing to the plank j
in tin* Cincinnati platform, wherein all who con- j
cur in the principles therein set forth are cor- i
dially invited to participate in their establish- I
meat and vindication. I never yet beard of a I
man who invited his neighbors to help him raise j
a house and proceeded to kick them out of it j
uh soon as the roof w«h fairly over hi;* head. >
For my own part I recognize every honest man
who approves and tnlbereafo the Cincinnat'
piatiorm an my political brother, and as such
fully entitled to my confidence and friendly re
guri'l.
The other point demands a word. Those ad
verse to me ask what pledges I have given to
those lately hostile to the Union to secure their
favor and support? I uiiHwer, no man or wo
man in all the South has asked of me. either di
rectly or through another, any other pledge
than is gif eii in till my acta and won.s. Fronf
tin* hour ol Fee’s surrender down to the present
moment, no Southern man ever hinted t > me an
expectation, hope, or wish that the rebel debt,
whether Confederate or Stubs should bn as
sumed or paid by the Union, nnd no Southern
man who could bo elected to « Legislature or
made Colonel of a millia icgiim n t ever sugges
ted the pensioning of nil rebel soldiers, or any
of them, even as a remote possibility.
All who nominated me are perfectly aware
that I upheld and justified the Federal* legisla
tion to repress Ku-Klux oonsninieies and out
rages, though I had long ago insisted as strenu
ously as I now do that complete amnesty, and
general oblivion ol the bloody, hateful past
would do more for tin* suppression and utter ex
tinction of such outrages than all the force bills
and suppressions ot habeas corpus ever devised
by man. Wrong and crime must be suppressed
Ami punished, but far wiser and nobler is the
legislation and policy by which they are pre
vented. From those who support me in the
South. I have hr aid but one demand, justice;
hut one voice, reconciliation. They wish to be
heartily reunited, and at peace with the North
on any terms that do not involve their manhood.
They ask tl at they should be regarded and
treated by federal authority n.** citizens, not
out-throats so long as they obey nnd uphold ev
ery law consistent with equality and right.—
They ilesire a rule which alike for white and
black shall encourage industry and thrift, and
.discourage rapacity and villainy. They cherish
joyful hope in which I fully concur, that between
the sth of November and the fourth of March I
next quite a number of Governors and other!
dignitaries, who, in tin* absurd name of Kepub- j
licHinsm and loyalty have lor years been heap- J
ing debts and tuxes upon their war wasted
States, will follow' the wholesome example ot j
Bullock, of Georgia, and seek the shades of pri
vate life. Ihe darker and deeper those shades
the better for themselves and mankind; and the j
hope that my election may hasten the much de- j
sired begun of thieving carpet baggers has re
; eoncilcd to the necessity of supporting me ma
ny who would otherwise have hesitated nnd
! probably refused. Fellow-citizens, tbe deposed
I and especially exiled T utmnuny ring has stolen
; about thirty millions of dollars* from the city of
| New York. That was a most gigantic robbery,
> and will surely throw its contrivers and abettors
j from power and splendor to ini} otcncy nnd in
j faniy. But the thieving carpet baggers have
stolen nt least three times that amount- stolen
from people already impoverished aud needy,
and they still flaunt their pro;-porous villainy in
the highest places of the land, and are addressed
as “honorable” and "excellency.” (Applause.)
I think I hear a voice ftom the honest people of
all the States, declaring that lheir iniquity shall
be gainful and insolent no longer, at tbe far
ilirM, tlmii me tm or March next. By that
lime a national verdict will be pronounced that
will cause them to fold their tents like the Arabs,
and as silently steal away; and that, 1 trust,
will be ibe end of their stealing at the cost of
the good name of our country aud tho well be
ing of our people.
At the conclusion of his speech Mr. Greeley
sat down amid u storm of cheers.
Tlie ”
It has been surmised that the "straight-out”
Democrats, would finally coalcse w ith tbe Radi
cals in the State and National campaigns. This
supposition has been set at rest, however, by
the intelligent Atlanta correspondent of the Sa
vannah Advert s> r. He says there never will be
any alliance ol the character referred to, and
there has never been any proportion of the
| kind offered. What they do propose, is to sup
port a candidate to be nominated at Louisville—
aud who, in all probability, will be the cclcbra
! ted Cmari.es O’Conxfe, of New Yoi k. O’Con- j
i nor was our firsrehoice # sor 4 the Praddpucy, but it j
is folly ro place his muue before the people at
| the present time, under the circumstances, and j
! we do not believe thv.l he will permit it.
What Poks n Mean?—lt is said t int a number
|of Democratic Senators in the Assembly are
affiliating with .tbe carpetbaggers and seal la- j
wags. As evidence of said tact, a bill recently
passed the Senate taking away tbe Rand scrip
from the Athens University and parceling it out
between Pablonega. Milledgeville and tW ne

Hensons for Voting for Grrelrv.
The Democracy of the North 'are yielding to
Horace Greeley an ardent and enthusiastic up
port, and the .speakers give Jim following rea
sons for sustaining him :
First—Because we want a change of adminis- j
tration. and we see no other way to get it. ,
Second—Because ho received the unaniuioii- :
nomination of the regular, well qualified rep re |
rtenlatives of the Democratic party.
Third Because he is more intelligent, and j
quite os honest as Grant. (>n the score of hon
esty. the Radicals cannot justly claim any supe
riority for their candidate.
Fourth—Because be has some heart , and (feels
for the sufferings of his fellow men; wberearf
Grant it* a selfish, Cold blooded man, without
such a heart.
Fifth—Because Greeley has pledged himself
to a course of action in harmony w ith the print*!
pies of the Democrat!'*, party, snd in no other
way than by bin election can the people now
hope to see them once more in the ascendant.
Sixth—Because Grant, and the party ol men
who bundle him—or whom he handles*—-it maker
little difference w hich, have shown, uumi.staka
My. that they do not intend to allow onr .South
ern brethren to be Iree men, or tho Southern j
Nta»es to have any r«*al sovereignty, oj any rights
such as States should possess.
Seventh—-Because Grant,and his men, forming
the Grant government, have exhibited before
the whole world the meanest spirit ever shown I
by a great government. They cannot disgrace
the American people, but they have dirgi icrd 1
themselves, and lowered our people’s govern
ment, in the estimation of fair meu among all ua
(ions
Fighth Because Grant and bis tools, as un
scrupulous as himself, have sei t hordes ot Radi
cal thieves into the homes of ourNonthe n broth
ersand robbed them of iheir pittunre left by the
war, aud involved them in vast debts, iu the
most barefaced and outrageous manner.
Ninth Because Grant and his men have no
respect for Ms people. North or South, caring
only for can make off them; whereas
Greeley is himself one of the working men, ami
alive to their feelings, and both kinds and con
ttiderate.
Tenth— Because the best men among the Rad
ical leaders, who know Grant, have pronounced
him unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Klevfuth—Because he makes self aud his own
personal greed and qualification primary, and
the affairs of the Govern men t a mere plaything,
ami entirely secondary.
Twelfth- Because he appoints men to public
offices who are unfit ami dishonest knowing!
them to be so, and retains them, lo the sei iou~
injury of the people’s pockets.
Thirteenth Because Grant’s "policies” have j
been simply ridiculous. He came into the office
with the public declaration that he had "nopol
icy,” whereas his whole action from beginning ]
to end. has been a succession of Grant ’s policies.
Fourteenth—Because his San Domingo policy j
is not dead, but sleeping, and in case of fc his re- j
election it will lie put through by his tools as 1
surely as tin* sun shines, and it is notorious that
It is u wicked scheme—nothing more than u cor j
rupt and most dangerous Grant job.
Fifteenth- Because Greeley, nominated as he I
has been, and supported us he will be, by the
well disposed men of the Fared States, will nat .
urally rally around him the best men, and se
cure an honest administration of .the govern
ment.
Nixteenth—Because we can aland an honest j
administration of tbe government.
.Seventeenth Because although Greeley as an
editor has through e long political life opposed !
many of the principles of the Democratic party, j
our nominating Convention has satisfied itself
that he is now ready to Imunonize with them up- j
on great measures vital to our country's pros
purity, and the existence of free government-
Kighteenth -Beeause we have ever '"since the
| war condemned the policy inaugurated by the j
dominant Radical party as inimical to tbe true '
I interests'of the Southern .States, w hilst Grant
not only supports it but aggravates it by hi.- j
military tyranny over them.
Nineteenth - Because Greeley condemns this
tyrannical and wicked course, and staude ready
to discard it from our government, as a dark 1
modern civilization.
Twentieth- Because there is nothing whatev
er, no policy and no act ot our government more |
inportant. more fraught with high consequences
in the immediate and distant future than the
real fraternization of the North and the South.
Tweuty first--Because such fraternization un
der the rule of Grant and his men. is an inipes
slbility; while under the action.of Democratic i
principles it will be a certainty, speedily real ;
ized. i
Tlie Election Bill.
The Legisla’ine has finally agreed upen au I
election bill, nnd it has passed both Houses.’
It provides for the election of Governor ami
members of tbe Legislature the first week in i
October, aud of county officers tbe fiist week in
January. In onr opinion the division is unuec
essary. and will prove injurious to the peace
and w elfare of the State. All the State and

TUe Cotton Supply.
A correspondent of tt e Savannah He
publ.can l as li e following :
"Since ! he year 1875, the "Cotton
Supply” has been a mailer in which all
producing ciliz< na are very deeply in
tereated. A want of co-operation on
the part of planters, or, in other words,
iheir independence of each other, has
'ost money to all, and left many of them
ill debt. The late war in this country
compelled Europe to supply herself witn
cotton from ntl er (“ountrics. She did
so at Ia i go cost, and still continues to do
so. The cotloo States of this continent
ere located in ti c finest cotton belt ol
the world, and no other latitude can pro
duce so good an article of either uplands
or sea islands. European manufactur
ers require only a sufficient quantity if
American cotton to make up the deficit
from other countries. Our lands in n a
ny coiintiis aie worn. Let planters;
keep all their cotton s»rd for fertilizing i
pnrpi se. Sell noue at any price to b.-,
sent abioad to keep up competition fields
in other countries. Let them p'unt oth-1
er cereals to supply their plantations;
abundantly, reduce the planting of cot
ton to au estimate of three million ol
bales for the crop of the South, and my
word for it, planters will be independent
in a few seasons.”
The advice is good, and the planters
will do well to hood t
