Mail Contracts.—We need not urge upon
our readers the importance of the Proposals, from
the Post Office Department, for carrying the mails

The Proposals take up much of our paper, but
they will only be published for one month.
We hope, now that the people cf Georgia have

proposals.

241, W. 54TH STREET, )
New York, Oct. a, 1'8G5. j
To the People of the State of Georgia:
The grave interests in both the pres
ent and for the future depending upon
the action of our Convention, soon to
meet and my opportunities for ob
servation and acquiring information of
Northern political sentiment during
my visit in Washington and this City,
are my apologies for addressing you
in the hope of contributing something
to public sentiment in Georgia that
may result in beuefit to our future
prospects.
The political field in the'States term
ed loyal, is somewhat confused. Both
parties, the Republican and the Dem
ocratic, profess to support the Presi
dent and his policy for re-construction.
Neither, however, has yet declared in
detail the precise points of agreement
(with, or difference from his views.—
The resolutions of political Conven
tions can only speak in general terms.
And it will not be until the States
called disloyal shall apply for admis
sion to Congress, that the differences
Jexisting between the parties will be
come clearly manifest, and the Nation
be again re-formed into two great po
litical divisions seeking, each, to influ
ence the Country and control the
Government. Until admitted to Con
gress, we can have no part in the con
test, but must be content to remain
interested but powerless spectators.
We shall not be permitted to take part
in any measures proposed, of whatev
er character they may be, affecting
our interests political or material, but
as the weaker party must accept,
whether we like it or not, the legisla
tion of the loyal States. This is our
position. The result of the appeal to
arms. And we cannot escape from it
except by complying with the terms of
the victor.
These terms, in general, are the a-
ready to lay aside all party when it
will put them iu office, but they will 1 doption of a Republican form of Gov-
draw the lines to keep their oppo- er nment, and the abolition of slavery,

of the negro as a fact, and in conse
quence, to concede icu/h that fact every
privilege necessary to make that freedom a
reality awl not an empty name. This the
people of the loyal States, even the
'most liberal, will require, and will be
content with nothing less. And if the
requirement is fairly and justly, met
the Radicals can offer no tenable
grounds of opposition to our admis
sion into the Union. The Conven
tions of the States that have already
met have not, so far reported, come
up to this requirement. One, it is
said, has denied the negro the most
common of legal rights—that of giv
ing testimoney in Courts of justice.—
The others have postponed to Legisla
tive action tha.t which should have
been, under the circumstances, a Con
stitutional guarantee, and so, have sat
isfied the people of the loyal States
that the white men of the South in
tended, and would do the freedmen full
justice. My impressions are, from all
I learn, that pone of these States will
be admitted to Congress-for a long
time. Perhaps not during the com
ing session. Shall Georgia commit
the same error ? Or will she main
tain the superiority assigned to her,
and deal in her Convention with the
legal rights that are essential to their
freedom ? They were good slaves.
Shall we now make them bad freemen?
Deny to them that which they may
justly claim, and the confidence be
tween the Southern white men and
the negro is destroyed. Assure him
and his assumed friends on the con
trary, that you will deal fairly with
him, and the old relations of trust may
be re-established. I urge this meas
ure upon you because I see the politi
cal trickery fhat is being prepared to
keep the Southern States out of Con
gress. The other Southern States
have laid themselves, so far, open to
opposition. I wish to save. Georgia
from similar injury, and that she shall
really occupy that position of pro
gress and development in the front
rank of the Southern States that is
accorded to her by the North. “In
War, Enemies! In peace, Friends!”

Ami now that war is over and peace

new channel opened to us. Neither

tics can avail us. The United States

ton they were opposed by the Legis- (illd concede the just and fair couse-
ceptation of the condition ? The
measure of concession can be fairly
weighed and determined. And this
done, and granted by us, who can op
pose the Senators and Representatives
of Georgia when seeking to enter the
Halls of Congress? Neither party iu
the ioyul States construes the term
“abolition of slavery” actulately.—
Both are in extreme. The truth lies
between. To simply declare the ne
gro free is not enough. To graut him,
untutored and simple as he is at pres
ent, all the rights of the white free
man is too much. That measure ol
concession only is justifiable, which
being compatible with his intellectual
and moral condition, will guarantee to
him the legal recognition and privi
leges of a freeman so far as may be
necessary to secure his life, liberty,
and bis property. Certainly no right
minded man would grant less. No ra
tional emancipationist could ask for
more. This much for the present,
leaving to the future to develope more
of privilege as the negro may ascend
in the scale of intellectuality and mor
ality- What then is necessary for us
to do, is to declare m our Convention
formally, or in such other manner as
will satisfy the loyal States, that the
freed man shall enjoy the rights of sue-
ing and of being sued, ot being im
pleaded, and of giving testimony in
Courts of justice, leaving to subse
quent legislative power the extension
of their privileges. What objection
is there to the freedman sueing or bo
being sued, or of impleaded ? What
reasonable objectiou can there betolj 11 ^
admittingthe freedman as a witness in' ie
Courts of justice? Testimony is noth
ing but a mere matter of evidence to
be weighed aud sifted by the Judges
and as one, we must sink or swim to
gether, diffeiing only as to the best
means of securing one common object,
National Security and prosperity.
I shall return to Georgia in a few
days, to share with you the future
that may be in store for us, as we have
shared together the troubles and anx
ieties of the past five years; and to
contribute all in my power to the de
velopment of our internal improve
ments and resources. Georgia has it
in her power to become the New
York of the South, and in twenty
years hence to be richer than she was
in 1860. Let us make her so.

of the slaves. This, I am aware, is a
a delicate question with our people;
but it must be met inevitably, and the
soouer we act upon it, with “Wisdom,
Justice, and Moderation,” casting pre
conceived prejudices aside, the sooner
will wc be restored to our political
rights, and freed from the thraldom of
irresponsible military authority. In

to the charges and insinuations of the
