Wofford, Candidate lor Elector for the State at Large to Georgia onTlldenntid Hendricks ticket, Delivered at Ccdartotvn, Ga.. on the 32nd day ol August, 1820, Fellow Citizens : This is an impor tant era in the history of the gn-at Republic. A political war is now being waged between the two politi cal parties of the country, for the posses sion of the machinery of the government. These parties are the Republican party and the Democratic party. The Repub lican party has been in power since the 4th of March, 1861, when Mr. Lincoln was inaugurated President. The issues which were prominent in the public mind when he was elected aro now dead : deed, all the issues between the Republi cans and Democrats, and which brought on the late war, and issues which grew out of its results are dead. The war was waged to preserve the integrity of the Union. Its integrity has been preserved and it stands to-day cemented with the blood, of both sections. If the people of both sections from now on do their duty, it will staud forever, A consequence of that war was the freedom of the negro held in bondage in the slave States, the enactment of fundi- raental and other laws for his protection in all the privilege of a citizens, and the transfer to him of all th8 political rights of any other citizen in the Re public. Theso amendments to the Constitution »nd tne laws passed in pursuance of them are acquiesced in by every man, wo man and child in Georgia. So far as my experience and observation goes, there is no one iierc, who would abridgo the rights and the political privilege of the black man. I do not myself believe that slavery was ever a benefit to the Southern peo- I am perfectly confident, that the Southern people are now universally con vinced of the truth of this proposition. And if the question of a re-enslavement of the black man was to-day submitted to *ho people of Georgia, it would be voted down fifty to one. The tenacity with which the Southern people clung to ihe institution of slavery was not based on their love of it in the abstract, but was ostered in the opposition that is bred in the heart of any one when his rights are unlawfully invaded by another. Slavery was peculiar to the cotton •States and a few of what was known ns t e border States ; a great political organ ization grew up in the Northern section of 110 Lnion, the nvowed purpose of which Was l ' 10 destruction of this institution Pacular to our section. Our right to the ownership of slavery was as old as Con stitution itself, and one recognized by nth the fundamental and statute law, hen therefore a respectable and power- II organization—composed of the ablest 8111 most intelligent men of the North *as created for the express and the sole Purpose of the annihilation of slavery, e feeling of resistance which God has P anted in tho breasts, of all us, came m to play in all its force, and was fed and vitalized by the protracted and angry dis- ™® ,on * indulged in by politicians of sections until it culminated in tho When the Southern people were sub jugated and their former slaves were de clared free men and the political equals of their old masters, and this after one of the most bloody conflicts on record, the rational tendency was to make the negro arrogant, protected as ho was by the bay onets of the government. This taken in connection with the universal poverty, of the whites, and the bad useB to which the negroes were put by bad men after politi- privileges, were conferred upon them, and the fact that the negro was being used, as an element in hostility to the real or sup posed interests of the whites, produced naturally an estrangement between the races. And this never went to the ex tent of hostility on the part of the whites to the negro as such, but mainly to the men who used and the mean pur poses to which his voting powers were perverted.. If there is a race on earth who under the same circumstances and the same provocation would have acted with more forbearance and more- charity than the white people of the South acted towards the black people after the latter were freed, I want to see that people, for they are'not of the seed of Adam. There has never been a day or an hour from June, 1865, to this blessed moment when the black man Of the South did not have a friend in -the white man of the same section. Under the law of Georgia a slave could not hold property.' His accumulations and earnings, were carried to the master, consequently at the “ surrender” in the spring of 1865, there was not a freedman in the State whQ. owned one dollars worth of property/.-There were in June, 1865, in Georgia about 80,000 colored men over twenty-one years of age. These colored men have from then tc now, by their own exertions supported their families as renters on the land of the white people and as hirelings to the white people educated their children more or less and have accumulated $5,393,885 worth of property. In the next ten years, with the improved facilities, in creased knowledge from experience, more general education, their aggregate proper ty will go to $30,000,000. For nearly the whole of the $5,000,000 now owned by the colored men of Geor gia was made in the last b!x years; the first five years after the “ Surrender” was spent by the colored men in politics, and in looking for the “forty acres and a mule” promised by Radical politicians from the scanty means of the Southern whites. As a lawyer I have defended a great many colored peoplo; every lawyer of much practice has done the same thing; zeal for the client has never abated on account of color; this is done every day in every court of Southern States. In almost every instance this is done without reward or the hope of it. The better class of black people do not commit crimes. More than that, the records of the courts will show, and to this I challenge a contradiction, that there is as large a per cent, of black mea acquitted of crimes by white juries, as are of white men ac quitted of crime by the same juries, here assert, and the records will disprove it if I am wrong, that this is true of every court in Georgia from the lowest to the 'lie election of Mr. Lincoln and the at- etnpted secession of the Southern States from the Union. There is not now, and there never has a people on tho earth who would a V . e differently, and there is not intelligent man in world who does not kn ° w Hus to bo true. This I say, to the honor of Georgians is true, in a State where every officer is a Democrat, and where almost every black man is a Republican. Asti iking illustration of the feeling, when uninfluenced by bad men, that ex ists in the South between the blacks and the whites, is found in the conduct of tho great Bishop Pierce of the Methodist Church South, meeting the with colored people of Georgia in their annual confer ence preaching and praying with them, and giving them the full benefit of his ripe experience—pure Christian charac ter—in the management and control of their affairs as a denomination of Chris tians. No feeling in that good man heart but love for his fellows without reference to the color of their skins. Another illustration of a class that might be prolonged indefinitely: Bishop Ward is a black man—a very black He was for four years, ending last spring, the Bishop in charge of the Meth odist church o r tho colored people in Georgia. He preached at all places where his duties called him. Among other places he preached to the colored people in Carteraville, where I live; the white people learning of his presence they went to hear him; he is a very able, eloquent man. Sometime afterwards his business brought him there again; the desire to hear him had became so general that he was invited by universal scclaim to preach in the Methodist Church the white people, the finest building the place. His audience was mixed in color, but was large, respectful and intel ligent. Nothing but good feeling pre vailed and a common desire to hear the black Bishop again. The people of Georgia pay annually of taxes to defray interest on the public debt and the other expenses of the State Government about $1,300,000.— Of this amount the colored people pay $26,969 42. It will be remembered in this connection there are 121,819 white males in the State over twenty-one years of age, and 87,569 colored males in the State oyer twenty-one years ol ago. Now, in a State every department of which is governed by white Dem ocrats, and which pays to the public school fund of the State over $300,000 annually, and in whioh there are about 400,000 children of school age both whits and black, 160,000 of whom are black, without reference to the fact that the total tax paid by all the col ored people in the State is only a little over $26,000, and the white people pay over $1,300,000, the fund is equally distributed, and each black child in Georgia gets just os much benefit from the fund as each white child in Geor gia. Teachers for the white schools and teachers for the colored schools are examined by the same commis sioner and paid from the same ftmd and precisely the same amounts per scholar. And yet it is said we are the ene mies of the colored people. In the light of the truth, I am willing to sub mit to a candid world whether the charge is true or false. It is not our opinion that the mass of the Northern people wish to do us injustice. They have been educated to their present opinions; what we need is the truth presented to their minds. One hundred years from now, in the face ol the tale history will tell, it will appear incomprehensible to impartial men, that the President of the United States, he who should know no sec tion, he who should have no prejudices, no partialities, he who should sit as the goddess of justice, blind to all but perfect equity, should have said in the solemnity of a message to the congress of the nation, that the officials of one of the greatest States in the Union hold their places by virtue of means foul enough to disgrace savages. Yet that was said without proof to sustain it, and by a man who sits where Wash' ington once sat. A distinguished writer in Harper’s Weekly of this week said iu an elabor ate article, over his own name, upon the political situation, that it would re quire an “influx of gentle school mis tresses from the North, to educate and tame the savage spirits of Georgia and Texas.” Texas can speak for herself; but as to Georgia, I ask in the name of her people where is the outcroppings of the savage spirit to which this writer refers ? I here assert, that there is not a negro church nor school house in Georgia of any consequence, to the building of which the money of the white white people has not been con tributed. I challenge the whole of Radicalism to show this is not true. The immediate cause of the Presi dent’s gush of passion, the Hamburg murder, finds no more approval in Georgia or South Careliana that it would find in New York or Massachu setts. The murder of unarmed and defenseless prisoners, no matter what their personal guilt might be, is outrage of such enormity os to meet the just indignation of every good man, The people of South Carolina as people, are no more responsible for that ruffian act, than are the people of any community responsible for the death of an innocent man shot dead by an assassin. Yet this is done, in this country, but too often; and done North, South, East and West. Life in no part of this country is as dear as it ought to be. Blood runs too freely and for oc casions too slight. A drunken, reckless vagabond, without the fear of God or man before his face, shoots an inno' cent man dead, or a number of them combine and do the same thing,and the community in which it is done 1b held up to scorn and contempt for the act. The latter is a crime of just a little less magnitude than the other. Two years ago when the Orangemen paraded through the streets of New York, it required all the police force of the city to protect them from vio lence. Without such protection many lives would have been lost, hundreds of peraons injured and muoh property (CWfwW <v* /hurih sage.)
