, iie ,hc death of the Democracy. So say
.1 c Radical prints and so say the independent
i 1 * ‘j s fo-called. Among these “ dead issues”
found every constitutional guaranty of
-'vil lilicrtv—everything that can restrain pow-
lliohl government to responsibility—secure
'witixen in the possession of any right or at-
•rilmtc of a freeman—or the State against the
yjrcsdons of a central despotism.
If these are “dead issues,” it is simply be-
oufC ,he citizen has become dead to everything
¥ |,j c |, he should be most sensitive, and in
dent to everything which possesses any real
olitical value. A corpse may be robbed of
priceless jewel* and betray no sensitiveness, and laboratory bn°ildinga and
» a people dead to the value Of civil liberty * -
„ar be listless while forcibly denuded of all its
Menses.
That is substantially the condition of the
American people, and that is the reason why
iey can see all constitutional defenses tom
down and trampled upon, with entire indiffer-
*ce. But it will not always be so. The stupid
a looks idly upon the preparations for slaugh-
;er, but in due time he feels the knife. These
d«d issues will he vitalized very suddenly one
if these days, and then people and politicians
rill be surprised to find them living and breatli-
5g issues of absorbing importance.

ly deplore toe present condition of our State, out
lying, as it were, from the Union, and it is our
earnest desire and prayer that the Congress of the
United States will, without delay, take such action
as may be necessary lo enforce the Reconstruction
Ads, and thereby restore Georgia to her proper
place, along side ot onr sister States, in full fellow

government.” . ... . .
Resolved, That it is our opinion, and tee opinion
of those whom we represent, tbat the cause of the
troubles, misfortune and oppression under which wo

legislative branch of the Government, attempted to
beestablished here, has been usurped by the repre
sentatives of the rebel element who were allowed to
take seats in our Legislature, in direct violation of
tee laws of the United States which were intended
to exclude them. . , » „
Resolved, That our Legislature lawfully organ

their enforcement, which would secure, not only to
the highest, but to the humblest citizen of our

didates of their choice, and safety in the expression
of their political opinions, unawed and undis
turbed by the bullet, the bowie knife, or the lash in
the hands of masked enemies of the Union, and in

to the Constitution of the United S tales.
Resolved, That we ro-affirm tee preamble and

of this State, held at the capital on tho 5th day or

W» have printed enough to. show that onr
statement of tbe character of the action of this
Committee was substantially correct They
demand instant action by Congress, without
awaiting any effort of the State Legislature
to meet toe views of that body; and they ground
this demand upon such base slanders of Geor
gia as wilt pash public amazement and iadigna-
ticu to the point of paralysis.
As to the statement of Foster Blodgett, that
this action “met the concurrence of every mem
ber present,” further information shows- that
there was a still wider division than we have
stated, although it was finally agreed that no ev
idence of that division should go before the pub
lic. Tfoa Committee’s mutilations of their own
record, show that something was done which
they don’t intend the public shall see.
Thank God, that even in this wretched and
piebald conclaves, some there were whose sense
of truth, justice and patriotism was not so utter
ly lost that they did not balk and start at this
monstrous iniquity. And we shall lose faith in
human nature if this nefarious proceeding shall
not prove to have been perpetrated at tee ex
pense of all that might be considered respecta
ble in tee Republican organization of Georgia.
We cannot and will not believe teat any intelli
gent Georgian, with a particle of love for the
grand old State flickering in his bosom, will tol
erate such a proceeding as this for one moment.
An intense disgust and abhorrence will stir his
soul, and hereafter he will be among tee fore

oust WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Correspondence of Telegraph and Messenger,
Washington, December 2,. 18G9.
THE COOLIE QUESTION.
The question of African slavery is a thing.of
tee dead past, and tee mischievous agitators of
Massachusetts are driven to other issues and
inm<]. John Chinaman is now believed to.be
tee “coming inan,” and tee Coolie question in
some shape will come np for legislation. The
nLi«f object in importing these scions of the
Flowery Kingdom, is to furnish labor for South
em plantations, in localities where the negroes
will not, and white, men cannot work. There
is every reason, therefore, why Massachusetts
should shape legislation in tee matter. An
effort will be made to compel tee Coolie lo wear
shoes from Lynn, paper collars, from Boston,
and to sport a Waltham watch. He will have
his choice of wedding sable Dinah or her former
mistress. Of course, he must be put on a foot
ing of complete social equality. The South
will be invaded by a fresh army of Now Eng
land “school marms,” for the purpose of teach
ing tee Coolie “howto shoot,!’and to convert
him from his paganism, if possible. If tee
persuasive eloquence of these enterprising vir
gins fails to accomplish this, then John China
man is hopelessly lost, and can never enter into
tee particular fold set apart for righteous-mind
ed New Englanders. All this is very pleasant
for tee Southern people. Some persons might
say teat tee South can protect its own interests,
and regulate its own labor system without the
interference of Massachusetts. .But it would
be a grave error to even suppose tee possibility
of such a thing. In Massachusetts is located
the “hub,” around which tee rest of the world
revolves. Massachusetts “has a mission.” It
is to reconstruct tee Union on tho basis of
baked beans, psalm-feinging, pumpkin pies and
spiritualism. It has commenced with tee South
and has not yet concluded its labors in that
direction. When, it does “finish” the South, let
tee rest of the world tremble.
But to the Coolie question: Mr. Sumner, tee
great Massachusetts Mogul of “isms,” has
sounded tee key-note. He demands for the
Coolie an equal copartnership, and eqnal rights
before tee law. This means social equality and
tee ballot. Some of Mr. Sumner’s followers
squirm at this. They think he is a premature;
but that he will educate teem np to his belief,
there can be no doubt. A “truly loyal” paper,
published in tee “Nutmeg State,” thinks Mr.
Sumners’ argument a “loose" one, and concludes
an editorial as follows:
“There is a standpoint from which statesmen
must always look at this and similar questions,
and it is the standpoint probably taken by Mr.
Sumner. We have opened the floodgates of
immigration; it is impossible to shntthem; and
therefore we must make the bad influences
counteract eacb other. We must offsetthe fail
ings and prejudices of one nationality with those
of another. We must pit the German against
the Irishman, tee Jew against tee Romanist.—
Looking at tho matter in this light, the more
nationalities we can introduce and endow with
power, tee greater will be tee counteraction,and
tee more homogeneous tee results. The Chi
naman is therefore a welcome element to onr
population, and his influence should have free
play. The advocates of such a doctrine seem
to overlook tee fact teat the Mongolians now in
this country positively refuse to make them
selves a power. Give teem the ballot as soon
as they will value it; but it will hardly pay to
force it on them.”
The Norfolk Journal makes a wry face at onr
prospective “fellow-citizens,” and treats of
them as follows:
“The Chinese are the most idolatrous people
upon earth. The “Flowery Kingdom” possesses
500,000 temples, containing 3,000,000 idols.
Bat these are not.sufficient for this image-wor-
shipping people. Their idols are found on all
the highways of the empire, in every private
house, and every orthodox Chinaman carries
one in his pocket, generally about tee length
of from ono to two inches.”
It says, further, that these Btrange people
seem to be without any conscience, or any
mental material out of which to make one,”
and it tells of a leader, killed in a revolt, who
“left three hundred disconsolate widows to
mourn his loss.” It concludes as follows:
“The Chinese are very imitative and can do
anything in mechanics that any other people in
the world can do, but they seem incapable of
conceiving any of tee religions, moral or polit
ical ideas of tee Caucasians. We look upon
their immigration to this country as fraught
with the greatest danger to ourselves and onr
institutions, and we hope that it will be resisted
by onr people at all hazards. |
The Baltimore Statesman, an able Democratic
journal, is also opposed to Coolie immigration.
^‘W^don’tneed the elaborate arguments which
wo see in some journals, to prove to ns that the
Chinese are active, enterprising, speculative and
industrious. The National Intelligencer, a name
which we are glad to see revived in tee ranks of
Washington journalism, says that tee testimony
'of all entire Europeans as to tee character of
the Chinese is to tee above effect, and also teat
they are “cunning, covetous, restless and ex
ceedingly unwarlike in their dispositions.” We
think we' have enough of exactly such people in
this community at present. The Intelligencer
mentions the faot which is suggestive of the
possible results of a large Chinese emigration
to the South, and a promiscons intercourse with
the blacks. It is shown that notwithstanding
tee fact that, under Dutch domination and en
couragement, they obtained in the Island of
Java, complete control over the natives in com
merce and industrial pursuits; and in spite of
too fact that thev amassed money with compar
ative ease—tee population under this dispensa
tion did not increase in toe ordinary proportion.
It is said teat among these emigrants there was
a great scarcity of Chinese women of good char
acter, but that a population of half-breeds sprang
np in the Island, the fruit of promiscuous in
tercourse with nativo women.”
[I omit tjje statistics which prove tee correct
ness of these statements.]
