These ure the gentle methods by which an outraged people are taught to love u ttie : best government the world ever saw.” But we refrain from the expression of that indignant vehemence which struggles for utterance.. We have now grave duties to perform, which call for great prudgicc, firmness, and patience. Divisions must cease in our midst, and a united front ha presen ted to the myrmydoi)s of despotism. Such Utters us Cupt Tumlins to the Telegraph & Messenger, are illttnaed and unfortunate. There is no time for recrimination. The enemy even now is thundering at our doors. Lot us therefore calmly prepare for action, and resolve to maintain our su premacy at the ballot box. Georgians never will tamely surren der all that they hold dear, without a death struggle with their oppressors. Let us bend that we-may not break therefore, and watch and wait, remem bering that ‘eternal vigilance is the price of liberty.” Bravo for Our G au.an-t Representa tive, Hon. Nelson Tift.—For the first time since the boom of the last gun of the revolution, has the voice of indig nant truth and justice been heard in the atmosphere of the Nations Capital. For once the star chamber committies of the Rump Congsess hive been bear- J-ul in their dens, and the prurient false ■ ’ Xis of the ingrate governor of an j /derly and noble people, exposed and denounced in bis very presence. Mr. Tift is remarkable for the caut ion and cool eels possession of his charac ter, but when aroused, is bold, out spo ken and defiant. In him Georgia has a devoted, untiring, and abfe defender. We are glad to seethe Savannah Re publican do justice to our worthy Rep resentative, and trust the Lagrange Re porter, and all-other papers which late ly indulged in unkind strictures upon kis letter, will fellow-suit, and make the uineude honorable. Randolph the Banner (Jount.y of 1870.—-Below we print the complimen tary resolutions of the Executive Com mittee of the Stute Agricultural Society) in honor of our county. What member of the club does not feel his cheek tingle with pride, at this flittering tribute from so distinguished a source. Brave lionrts and intelligent minds, are never content with mediocrity in ftny position. We have in our midst a large num ber of skillful, practical, and successful planters, who are qualified to develope and embellish the soil and landscape of any country. Hitherto, concentration of*thought an! action, only, have been lacking, together with the attrition of mind with mind, to produce the happi ®*t results. The Agricultural association supplies this want most fully, and we trust • l-ew and living interest will be aroused in its behalf, by the praise which has signalized our oflorts to excel. Let it hot he said, that the name of a solitary intelligent farmer in the county, is not appended to the roll ol our mem bership. It will be seen also, that our friend Mr. J. B. Buchanan, the zealous and effieieot secretary of the Randolph So (j|gly i has received the merited appoint ment of a position upon the State Exe cutive Copituittce. At his request,’ and that of the Presi dent of the club, Judge William Cole man, we would announce a meeting of the Society on Saturday January Sth, to be held as usual in the courthouse. Preliminary steps will then be taken, for the introduction of a series of scien tific lectures on agriculture, before the club during the present winter. Ur. Daniel Lee will probably be among the number invited. Let there be a grand rally of the Agricultural Estates. At a meeting of the Executive Com* mittee, held the night of the 22d ult on the Fair Grounds, there were present Messrs. Yancey, Howard, Scott, Rus ■ell, True, Harris, Brumbv, Jones, Ham ilton, Smith, Gustin, Miller The fol lowing resolution was adopted : Resolved, That, in consideration of the complete equipments of the Randolph County Club in tents on the Fail- Grounds—the style of the tents—the numbers of their delegation the order and arrangement ot their tent for the re ception and entertainment <>f ladies with a hauncr over it designating the county-the Secretary, be instructed to'communicate by letter the gratifica tion of the Committee at these manifes tations of the taste and enterprise of ■aid club, and that Randolph be hereby <b dated the Banner Couuty for the year J»H>. Be Just and Liberal in yon* 1 Settlements with the Freedmer ■ The ever revolving cycle ttf the set:- I sons, having again brought seed time and harvest, and sounded the knell of the c’o.-.iiig year, admonishes us that the period has arrived when accounts mush be made up, balances struck, and all- Tegtf mate ol.ligations ferrtj met," New contracts for labor also soon be entered tipon, and the proper fulfillment of those aheady in existence, will become a condition precedent to ney in contemplation. While it is a universally admitted fact, that the instances are-rare where any set of freed men come fully up to tb'd'r covenant obligations, Vjtui iwd wrongs do not make a right,” and due allowance should be made for the igoo ranee, and low state of morals which obtain among the blacks. Let them be taught a who’esome lesson in this re spect, and they will learn from practical experience, that honestv is the best p *li - cy, and the only sure road to success. A spirit of liberality then should en ter into our settlements with the weaker parly. If toe seasons have been ad verse, and our joint labors have met with an inadequate reward, let us not he rigid in exacting the full tale of the requirements of the contract. Thus, lost time from sickness, might he excus ed, the death of stock through accident, or lack of judgement «>verl.H»kad, extra charges when possible remitted, and a kind and lenient disposition manifested in all the details of the settlement. Especially in those cases also, where the expenses have absorbed all the prof its, when the laborer has shown him Sulf honest and reliable, he should have due credit uud. indulgence extended to him for the succeeding year. Again, the improvidence of the negro should be curbed and restrained by his more intelligent employer. We are aware how difficult is this task, in view of the m rbid sensitiveness on the score of freedom, which exists among the at ricuns. Like the sailor after a long cruise, he will squander the profits of a whole year in a few hours, and has nothing to show for his money but a beggarly account of empty wniskey bottles, pinch beck jewelry, aud tawdry finery. Their recklessness too in running up store accounts during the current year is proverbial. One negro in the em ployment of the writer, after laboring five months and snrmouritiug the har dest wo kof the year, because he was not permitted to trade at will upon credit, absolutely abandoned his con tract, and thus lost his half interest in the crop. All this should be diseourug and and held in check, as in the end it promotes dissatislaction, and leads to turbulence and crime. Unless an actual dividend in cash is paid to the freedman at the close of tlte year, he thinks his labor has been whol ly unrewarded. It matters not. if his accounts the expenditure of hundreds in the .sup port of his family, and the gratification of every whim and propensity, stil 1 because no money is forth coining, he avers that he has made nothing, or been swindled by his employer. Hence tliogieat necessity for impress ing upon the freedman, the true value id money, and the importance of saving Ins earnings. The p'anter . never will be ttble to raise stock, or be secure from the dep reciations of his laborers, until they each become thrifty property holders, and have some personal stake in the preservation of order, and the rights of propel ty. In concluding this article, we would suggest to the planter that he procures the assistance of some person of known integrity, (we have selected a minister of the gospel,) who shall vise his ac counts with the freed men in his employ ment and be present, and aid in the fair and t quitabledivision of the crop accord ing to contract. This will inspire confidence with a people peenli rly obnoxious to suspicion, and enable you to rafutc every charge of unfair dealing. Depend upon it, nothing is lost by clean hands and a fair exhibit, in all the transactions of life. 5 Our people are under eternal obligation to Senators Thurman of Ohio, and Bayard of Deleware, -for their pow erful appeals in behalfof Georgia and the mutiluted.jtud downtrodden constitution of our fathers. These efforts are said to have been eloquent in the extreme, and worthy of the pvr'my days of Clay, Calhoun, and Webster, when there were giants in the land. ’ Alns ttpit our Union should be but a travesty and play* upon the word, while it! reality we are the subjects of a grind ing despotism, unparalied in the abso lute empires of the old world. “Oh Libet ty ! in thy name how many crimes are perpetrated.” « We publish in full today Min tons bill of abominations as it passed the Senate, and the 14th, and 15th, amendments, which occupy at present so large a share of public attention. They si mild be preserved for future reference. The infallibility of the Pope is strongly opposed in the Ecumenical Council. His holiness has issuer! a de cree, dissolving the council at the period of his death, and declaring*that none bill those who wear the cardinal’s hat have any voice in the election of his successor. The old Pontiff still enjoys vigorous health and is likely to be in piie way of It s ambitious underchurch men for some time yet. Rov. J. 8.

Is Congress Supreme ? The Congress of the United States has indulged in usurpation so long, that it has entirely forgotten that any* body else ha* rights under the Consti tution. According to the prevailing opinion, nothing has been reserved to the States', and there 1s »o person or in terest to which its jurisdiction does not extend. Front interference with slat very as ad .mestic institution wholly under the control and direction of the ritaUs in which it existed, it has gone or> to el aim jurisdiction ovsr every im aginabU* question and set the limitations of the Constitution entirely at defiance. Indeed, authority from that insti ameul is no longer looked to as license for any act that may gratify the passions or promote the -interest? of the Radical party. Aud the saddest thing C\ f is, the people have quietly surrendered their power over to their representa tives, and come to regard them as mas ters, rather than servants. Did these usurpations look to the public good, whether authorized or not there would be some apology for them. But, unfortunately, under the license of assumed omnipotence, mem bers of Congress who have some pre tention to reputation, are proposing the most foolish, absurd and impracticable meusun s. They geeqn to regard tbem sclvts as privileged to play the fool as well as the tyrant. The immediate inducement to these remarks is a bill just introduced in the Senate by Mr. Wilson, of Massachu setts, a man who really has presiden tial aspirations, with the view of regu lating the business relation* of < bines)* immigrants who may land on pur shores. Clearly the object of the Senator is to embarrass tabor in the South and an noy our people, and to this end his bill has not the slightest reference to the powers of Congress as delegated in the Constitution—and they have none oth er One clause of the Wilsfn Wll pro hibits contracts for a term of years with emigrants alter their arrival, or con tracts with them before they become citizens, by which they engage their la bor in the most favored parts of the Uni ted States.” Here we have both usurpation and folly. What right haa Congress to in terfere w ith contracts in the States ? Where is the clause of the Constitution that gives it any such power? It can not be found, ts there is ope thing above all others comes within the des cription of “reserved powers,” it is this to regulate contracts between the in habitants of the States, respectively.— Nor is jurisdiction claimed anywhere but in the Southern States. It is these that the Senator aims at, but he should he careful lest he should strike a blow at his own constituents. Will anybody say that Congress has the right to go into Massachusetts or Pennsylvania and attempt to regulate contracts between the factory laborers and miners of those Slates? Docs Senator Wilson, himself, claim this power, and will he dare as sert it before thq world ? If bo, we would be glad to eee him make the experiment. We said it was a folly, and opposed to all enlightened views ol political economy. Where will the Senator find the “most favored part of the United States ?” Is it in Massachusetts, Louisi ana or California? The price of labor differs in nearly all the States, chiefly from demand aud the price olliving; how then can he make it uniform with out a violation of every law of trade and common sense ? What, too, does he mean by the terms “most favored parts'’ ? Are tin se sections where labor is dear est or lowest the most favored? Cheap labor has always been considered a blessing to a country, and a stimulant to’public prosperity, as it enables the locality where it exists lo compete suc cessfully wiih all others What rule will Mr. Wilson prescribe for the gov ernment of judge* and juries in the ad ministration of his law, iu Congress should boas great a simpleton as him self and pass it ? He is simply attempt ing impossibilities, legislating against all the laws of nature, trade-aid reason, and the introduction of such a bill in this enlightened age, by a leading Sena tor, is a disgrace to the statesmanship of the nation. It shows how the Radi cal mind haa been dwarfed and debauch ed in the pursuit of lawless and avari cious objects, and all true patriots should tremble for the country when they con template the alarming fact that its des tiny is in the hands of such men.— Sav. Republican. It Would Avail Nothing. We have heard numbers of persons expressing opinions we have seen them printed in newspapers—to the effect that if Georgia had not expelled the ne groes— if she had done this, that or the other thing— or abstained from the per formance of certain other acts, all would have gone well, and there would have been no more talk about “reconstructing reconstruction.” These gentlemen are mistaken. If Georgia had done or abstained from do ing all these things, and had, in addition, “offered her body to be burned,” it would all avail Iter nothing, so long as she is known to be able to give the Democratic ticket a majority of fifty thousand ? A distinguished member of the House from the West —one who had been elect ed as a Republican, but became disgust ed with the party and acted as an in dependent last Winter—-said to the wri ter of this the day his credentials were referred to the Committee of Elections, “Sir, you have been told and will hear it repeated a thousand times, that the difficulty in the way of Georgia repre sentation was the expulsion of the ne groes from the Logi-laTure This is not true, sir. It is a mere pretext. The retd and tfieuity in the way is that Georgia gave too large a majority for Seymour ! She will not be pardoned for it ! For ty-five thousand was 400 heavy ! If your people had voted for Grant and said that the tn gro was its good as a white mini and a good deal better, you would have been admitted without question, without test oath or any sort of difficulty. But Georgia has grievously offended—her people have had the temerity to do as they pleased —they must bo punished for U H We thought at the time that our friend was but indulging in bitter irony.— Time, however, developed the fact that be itad a just conception of ‘the situa tion.” A State so pronounced iu its De hurt."icy as Georgia—whose people cherish fond recollections of the freedom of the old Republic and impudently give voice to their opinions thiough the press and at the ballot box, “must have its back bone broken,'' to borrow the fig ure employe*d by a leading Radical pa per—and, verily, .Georgia had better look itt once to her vertebra —it is real ly iu danger ! —Southern Watchman. The Tennessee Senate has pass ed a bill provided that noboy shall lie indicted for an act committed while serv ing as a soldier during the late war, and disfetissiug all pending prosecutions of the kind.
