AUGUSTA, GKO:
W *-<l msday ErruliiiTt Xov. 10, 1858.
Two Uoo«l Tilings Proposed In the
Legislature.
It gives os pleasore to find that mixed
in with those who infest the halls
of the Capitol, there are, at least, two
men who propose to do something for
the good of the State. We allude to
Mr. Moors, of Clarke, in the House,
and to Mr. Atkinso.v, of Camden, in
the Senate. We shall rejoice to learn
that a goodly number of the same class
of men may he singled out from the
crowd of statesmen now in Milledge
ville- . .
While all sorts of nonsensical and
pernicious propositions are being made
by Tom, Dick and Harry, theso two
gentlemen mentioned, have each intro
duced hills which are not intended to
inure to the special benefit of any party,
clique, faction, or clump of Treasury j
suckers, hut to the good of modest j
people.
Jlr. Moors introduces a bill to regu
late the disposal of free persons of color]
in this State. This hill proposes that j
all free persons of color who are in the
Stateouthe Ist of January, shallchoose
for themselves masters or he sold into
slavery. I
The principle involved in this hill is!
a sound one. We do not quite approve |
the details as set forth in the newspaper
report ot proceedings, because we con- j
ceive that, in some points, the funda
mental principle is lost sight of.
We take it to be the belief of Mr.
Moore, as it certainly is the only doc |
trine upon w hich slavery can he defend
ed, that a negro has as much need of
subjection to a master of a superior race,
as a child lias of subjection to the pa
rent. In other words that slavery as it
exists in the States of the South, is the
normal and only proper condition of
the negro. It is certainly as wrong to
repudiate one as another of the obliga
tions of nature. It is as sinful to turn
a negro out of the sphere in which God
intended that he should exist as it
would he to do the same thing to a
white man. The negro has a right to
be a slave, as much as a white man has
a right to be his master. Every right
implies an obligation ; the negro is as
much under obligation to sustain and
observe the relation of slave, as the
white man is to sustain and observe the
relation of master ; no more, no less.
With this view of the principles in
volved in the institution of slavery—
and if these arc not the true principles
on what grounds can slavery he said to
be morally and divinely right ?—it fol
lows, without need of intermediate ar
gument, that an error—a sin, must
have been committed whenever the
free negroes of this State or their
progenitors, were ejected from the con
dition of slavery. Sin always brings
retribution. In fact, human misery is
always to he regarded as a result of
wrong somewhere and at sometime com
mitted. Is not the miserable condition
of free negroes, wherever found, an
evidence that there has been an error
in their management? Are not the
evils which they inflict upon society,
proof that society has mismanaged
them ? The proposition needs no argu
mentation, that negroes have no busi
ness without masters, and therefore we
say that we do most cordially approve
the step taken by the Representative
from Clarke. He will deserve and will
receive the thanks of the State for his
move. But we cannot see that a con
sistent regard for the principle upon
which we approve his step, would allow
us to endorse any feature in the bill
which looks to the removal of a portion
of the negroes to the free States. True,
it would be but a merited punishment
to the fanatics of those States, were our
whole free negro population, as well as
every negro convicted of a capital
crime, thrust upon them. It is not im
probable that the evil would, in the
end, finds its true remedy in the reduc
tion of the free negroes, by the superi
or race, to their proper state of servi
tude. There would only be the danger
that the re action would he so sudden
and great, as to end in the total de 1
struction of the inferior class. There ’
is no safety for the negro race, whether
on this continent, or on the African, but
in a well ordered state of slavery, which 1
is the only possible means by which each 1
race can benefit the other. But though
the free States deserve no better treat
ment at our hands, yet it should not be
our policy to commit a wrong, or work 1
an injury to any community in the at
tempt to do a righteous act. The re- 1
suit might he disastrous to ourselves.—
If free negroes are a curse to our own
society, they can certainly be none the
less such to free society. To exasperate
is never better than to conciliate, when
conciliation will involve no sacrifice of
principle. Our Northern brethren will
never do morethan talk hugely, because
we may lemove all our free negroes into
slavery; but, if we send them within
the borders of free States, the people
among whom they should go, might
and most probably would find the
means of retaliation. Let right and
nothing but .ight, be done in this mat
ter. Mr. Moore’s position shows that
, he intends to do right, and we would re
- spectfully submit to him, if we be not
right in opposing the idea of expelling
our free negroes or any portion there
of ? They have all had the protection
of our laws, let them subserve the in
terests of that society which has pro
tected them, and ought to have lcent
them slaves. 1
The bill offered by Mr. Atkinson, of
Camden, to the Senate, is as follows’:
Sec. I.—Be it enacted that so soon as
this bill shall be passedby the General I
Assembly, agreeable to the require
ments of the constitution, all that part
► of the 11 tli section of the Constitution
of this State, embraced in the follow
- ing words—“ There shall be no future
importation of slaves in this State from
Africa or any foreign p ace as or the
first day of October next, —be stricken
- out, and shall hereafter form no part of
e the Constitution of Georgia.
Our views on the importation of slaves
1 from Africa, are known to our readers.
. j We hold the repeal of all restriction up
r|on the Slave Trade, to he the one only
, j means by which the South can he re
stored to a position of equality and in
-1 dependence, or by which the genius of
old fashioned republicanism can he
. tempted to stay its departure from the
, land. It sends a thrill of ecstasy
through our hones, to hear that some
man of known ability and worth has
i pronounced himself in favor of the for
eign Slave Trade. Already hundreds
and thousands of the best men in the
land sympathize with the project. We
, have great and extensive charity for
those who differ with us in this matter
because they are unable to look at the
! matter as wc do, hut for the oragular
] condemnations of demagogues whom
we have before mentioned, we are ena
l hied every day, to feel a more and more
1 profound contempt. The day will yet
come as we hope and trust, when those
selfsame partisans will ask people to be
lieve that they were early friends of the
j Slave Trade movement. We will think
: of them, tnen ns we think now of every
j man who can sell the safety of his conn
! try for place.
Mr. Atkinson will meet enemies and
sophistries in every one of the de
vil's manifold forms, but we will weep
s with him and laugh with him,and pray
'for him, as long as lie gives battle in
that cause; nor will a man who now
has the hardihood to engage in that
tight, ever enlist himself in a dishonor
; able strife.
The passage of the two hills which
we have alluded to would redeem to
worthy fame the present Legislature.
o
—
The Supreme Court.
The question of abolishing or rc-or
' ganizing the Supreme Court, is likely
1 to engage the attention of the present
1 Legislature. As our position seems to
have been misunderstood, on account of
, our review of the decision of Judge Ben
nlng in the bank case, some months
ago, we deem it proper to state that we
do not desire to see that tribunal abol
ished, if it can he so re-organized as to
secure more permanence and uniformity
to its decisions ; if it can be located at
a central point ; if the tenure of office
can be made much longer, and the elec
tion of Judges taken out of the hands
of the people. But if it continues as it
has been for the last eight or ten years,
it will very soon lose all influence, and
become entirely useless as a court of er
rors.
H. L. McClcxg, Esq., has been
i elected Secretary and Treasurer of tiie
I East Tennessee & Georgia Railroad Com
pany, in place of Thomas J. Campbell,
Esq., resigned.
nr The Marion (Ala.) Commonwealth
learns from Hon. A. B. Meek, that his
History of Alabama is nearly ready for
the press, and will he publilished this
winter.
Rear Fight.
We are requested by Mr. Fred. Leh
• man to state that he will fight his bear
against any dog in Hie country, any day
during the next week.— Cuthbert Reporter.
We presume there is not a dog in the
country fool enough to fight Mr. Leh
man’s bear, unless instigated by some
brutish biped, unworthy the name of
man. Do the good people of Cuthbert
countenance and sustain such amuse
ments ?

Dear Dispatch: —To-morrow is the first I
day of the third Annual Fair of the S. j
C. State Agricultural Society, and to |
day and to night there has been a con- j
stanttideof visitors pouring into this j
city from all portions of this and the
adjoining States. Contributions of qr

and beneficial exhibition will he given.
There is a marked improvement over
last year in the character of the arti
cles offered, more especially in the fruit
and vegetable departments. To morrow
will be occupied mainly in making up
the different examining Committees, |
filling vacancies, &c. kc. On Wednes-1

Horses and Cattle will be made by the
Committees, the several classes being
introduced into the Ring in the order
they occur in the Premium List, com

Milledoeville, Nov. 9,1858.
The journal was read, witli Hon. W.
11. Brown in the Chair, the Hon. J. E.
\ Ward not having as yet returned. Af
ter the leading of the journal, with the
| Hon. P, H. Colquitt, of Muscogee, in the
Chair, the following bills were introdu
j ced on the call of Counties, among oth
| ers of no interest to your readers :
j Mr. Barlett, a hill to make uniform
the criminal practice in the State.
Mr. Billups, a bill for the relief of Mr
Dyer. Also a bill to make legal and
valid all acts, as executor of Geo. Har
ris, of Mississippi.
Mr. Briscoe, a hill in regard to gar
nishments and attachments.
Mr. Browning, a bill to amend an act
incorporating the Atlantic & Gulf Rail
road, asking the purchase of iron by the
State.
Mr. Fambro, a hill to alter the prac
tice in the Supreme Court. Also, a hill
to define the liability of stockholders of
joint stock companies. Also, a hill to
abolish the Usury Laws in this State.
Mr. Guerry, a bill to regulate judg
ments in law, to protect Administrators
and Executors from fraudulent claims.
Mr. Hill of Sumpter, a hill to incor
porate a bank in the city of Macon to
be called the Cotton Planters Bank
& Loan Association. The capital stock
to be $5,000,000 with the privilege of
extending to $10,000,000 if desired.—
To commence operations when they
have SOOO,OOO subscribed. This would
indeed be a mammoth institution if it
were not for several it's which perhaps
for the good of the State stand in the
way, tiie greatest of which is Governor
Brown, who will perhaps give us anoth
er bank bill veto message. I will post
you up as to it’s progress. By the way
this Legislature seems to he determin
ed to do more and talk less than any
of it’s predecessors have done in three
months.
Mr. Dawson, a hill to alter the laws
in regard to mortgages in this State.
Jlr. Paine, a bill to amend acts ex
; enipting certain property from levy and
! sale.
Mr. Taine introduced this bill last
! year and it was lost. Tiie poor of the
’ country ought to thank this gentle
man for his efforts in their behalf.
Mr. Strickland, a bill to amend the
: Penal Code of this State so as to make
tiie crime of open Robbery punishable
by death. Also a hill amending the
Penal Code so as to make the crime of
Burglary by night punishable with
death.
Mr. Whitaker, of Fulton to alter the
1 Law in regard to Scire Faceas.
Jlr. Young of Union, a bill to autho
rize the Governor to appoint a State
Geologist.
On motion the following gentlemen
were added to the standing committees.
Jlr. Drake to the Committe on the Blind
Asylum. Jlr. Briscol on the Committee
! on the Penitentiary and Jlr. Mallard on
i the Committee on the Lunatic Asylum.
Third Reading of bills being in order
j the following bills were read and acted
upon.
A hill to collect interest on open ac
counts. Referred to Judiciary Commit
tee.
A bill to regulate tavern and retail
licenses in this State. After a great deal
of discussion and confusion, the bill
was laid on the table for the present,
after being amended by making its
provisions refer to Elbert and Marion
counties alone.
Mr. Wilcoxon on motion was added
to the Judiciary Committee.
The Senate adjourned until 10 o’clock
to-morrow morning.
House. —The House met pursuant to
adjournment, Mr. Speaker Underwood
in the Chair.
After reading the Journal of yester
day, Jlr. Harrison, of Chatham, moved ;
j a reconsideration of so much of the 1
j Journal of yesterday, as relates to the |
; rejection of tiie resolution appointing a j
I committee of five, three from the House .
| and two from the Senate, to select a site I
! for the future location of the Peniten- j
j tiary, on the JVestern & Atlantic or ;
I Georgia Railroad, which gave rise to a I
j very interesting and exciting debate.— j
The motion to reconsider was support-1
ed by Jlr. Harrison, Smith, of Towns, ]
Col. Milledge, Jlr. Dcamond and Fin- ]
ley and opposed by Mr. Hardeman and ■
Smith, of Coweta.
Mr. Kenan said the committee had j
settled in favor of removal and he did
not understand why they desired fur
ther information on the point, and in
reply to Jlr. Hillyer, he wanted to see
no party feeling invoked in the business
of legislation. When he entered this
Hall he came as a Georgian and not as
a party man. He scorned such an at
tempt. Jlr. Hillyer replied, that he
was not responsible to the gentleman ! ’
from Baldwin for his positions on pub- j 1
lie measures, but to his constituents, <
and reiterated what he had said before, ’
that the dominant party was responsi- ]
ble to the public for the abuses of the ,
Government.
Mr. Smith said Georgia had had the 1
benefit of the counsels of some of her I
most distinguished men, in favor of re- i
moving that institution to the moun- ,
tain regions of Georgia, where the la
bor of convicts might be made profita
ble in developing “the iron, granite and
lime of that region of the State, instead
of being an expense to the State, as it
has been for years. Jlr. Milledge de- *
fended the action of the committee and 1
spoke in favor of acquiring the infor
mation desired by the sub committee.
Mr. Luffman was opposed to the reso
lution, had voted against it and would i
vote against reconsideration. ,
Mr. Hardeman thought the passage
of the resolution would be to settle the
question in favor of removal, which
was a foregone conclusion. He was op- j
posed to the resolution. The last ses-i
sion of this Legislature had decided j
against the removal, and he thought it I
was the duty of the House to conform j
its legislation on the subject with the I
action of the last session.
Mr. Diamond said the gentleman
from Baldwin had remarked that there
were certain persons outside who desir
ed to sell granite, lime and rock. He
would say it was not true that any such
persons were here, or had approached'
the committee on that subject. Mr. j
Kenan, stated in explanation, that the j
Stone Mountain had been looked upon
in days past, by many, as the probable j
location of the Penitentiary, and there
had been efforts, on the part of the 1
owners of that site, to dispose of it to i
the State. On the question of recon- i
sideration, on motion of Mr. Kenan I
the yeas and nays were called for—yeaß
44, nays 62—so the motion was last.— ■
The House then engaged for some time !
in reading bills the second time.
The following bills were read the)
'first time : > I
! Mr. Irwin, A bill to reorganize the;
i Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb.
Mr. Hardy, a bill to establish a system |
■ of common schools.
Mr. Smith, a bill to refer the removal
!of the Penitentiary to the voters of the
> state.
Mr. Hardeman,'a bill to incorporate
the Cotton Planter’s Convention.
; Mr. Bigbam, a resolution in reference
to the claims of Georgia for military
service rendered to the United States.
The House then adjourned to 10
o’clock tomorrow morning.

REMOVAL TO THE CITY OF ATLANTA I
1 1 Con. vkra.Ut/ Enlarged Circulation 10,000 1
i rriHE CRUSADER, being a State Jour -
JL nal rather ihau a country paper, should,
unquestionably, be published at the most centra 1 .
and accessible locality ; and since Atlanta offers
advantages, in these two particulars, far supe
rior to any oilier place, we have determined,
through the influenco of numberless friends am
leading citizens of the State, to removff our office
to that city ; hence, the first number of the new
series for 1859, will be issued from that point
early in January next, much ehlargvl, togellier
with other improvements.
The Literary Departments will continue under
the control of our popular Editor and Editress,
j Mr. L. L. Yeazey aud Mrs. M;.ry E. Bryan, both
of whom will reside in Atlanta.
Rev. Jno. A. Reynolds, (M. K.) one of the
most accomplished printers in the South, will
continue as our Publisher.
f With the ad vantages of a city location so cen
tra!, and of such growing importance as Atlanta,
we hope to publish a paper which shall be ade
-1 quate io the great demands of the temperance
cause, and at the same time supply the want of
a prominent Literary Journal of tho South.
Many friends of tho Crusader predict that its
subscription list will be doubled during the et:
suing year; if so it will then visit weekly nearly
ten thousand honK.=. To fully realize all this,
will require hut a slight effort on the part of our
friends. Will that effort be made promptly—
earnestly ?

first of December, will he Atlanta, Ga.

Georgia—A Proclamation;
By JOSEPH E. BROWN, Governor of said
State :
TTT’HEREAS, it has pleased Almighty
\ y God,' to smile upon os, as a people, in
much mercy, during another year : to crown
our labors with rich blessings, to protect and
preserve us from war, hunger and pestilence,
and to pour out His holy spirit upon us in co
pious showers ; and whereas these manifesta
tions of His protecting care and loving kindness,
■ admonish us ol’the debt of graditude which we.
as a people of a great State, owe to tho Giver of
every good aud perfect gift, and of our duty lo
be humble and thankful, rendering praises to
His great name, ‘-in psalms and hymns and
spiritual songs, singing and making melody in
our hearts to the Lord, giving thanks always fi r
all things.”
I do, therefore, issue this, my Proclamation,
i setting apart THURSDAY, the 25th day of this
present month, as a day of thanksgiving and
prayer. And Ido earnestly invito the different
congregations composing all the religious de
nominations of every name i t this Stute, to meet
1 at their respective places of worship, on that
day, and unite in returning thanks and singing
praises to our God for his wondrous works in the
past, and in fervent prayer for His prote ting
care in future, remembering that the Psalmist
has said. “ Ix?t the people praise Thee, then shall
the earth yield her increase, and God, even our
God, shall bless us.”
Given under my hand, and the Seal of the Exec
utive Department, at the Cupitol in Millcdgc
ville, this 4th day of November, in the year
of our Lord eighteen hundred and fifty-eight,
and of the Independence of the United States
of America the eighty-third.
JOSEPH E. BROWN.
