A Fari'on "h LoUt r. Jb thr Ttrpuhlicnn dfn Urs of the (Inrun al AwmUy of Ut’Otgui. OrxTMMEN: Feeling grateful t/> you for the honor conferred in electing rue to the United Start's? Semite, and feel ing that deep interest in your welfare, and the welfare of our party and onr State, whirl) any and all true Republi cans should feel whoso deslinics are inseparable from the Republican party of Georgia, I am cons-trained to ad dress you this li fto- congratulating -j you and our eonntvy upon the Lm<> and anxiously lioped for admission of our State into the Union. Last night the bill admitting Georgia passed both ' houses, nhd to-day it has 1 ten signed bv the President, and is now a law. During the past two week 3 a showei of letters has been coining to me from all parts of the State, as well as from members of your body, asking for the propirconstruction of the ! ill pending; and now. that the law admitting the State is before me, I feet that it is due •on that mv virus iq oh the same should be made known to you. Du re Jims been, as von are »\v re, a great ef f( i t on one hand, to induce Congress to provide in this bill (owing to the il legal organization of the general as sembly in 18G8, and its subsequent revolutionary conduct-in expe ling from its body a large number of its lawful members on account of color, that the general nsf-eml Iv, and all State and county officers, should hold for a full term after the admission of the State, and that theres >re there should he no elections until* 1872; and. upon th other band, to induce Cong-ess to say that those officers shall all be electe 1 in November next, in pursuance with the constitution. Congress has deem ed it expedient to do neither. It could have done either in its discretion. In refusing to do either, it has passed a law which provides especially that nothing therein, nor in any previou: law, shall be so construed as to affect the term of office prescribed in the constitution for the members of the general assembly, or for any of the State or county officers. 'lbis leaves the constitution of Georgia just as we made it. to operate in all of its provis ions; and n.uler its provisions we must have elections this fill, mb ess it should 1 e held bv federal authorities that mil- itary government continues until the Senators and Representatives from ( Georgia are s -at.-di. which was not done b'-fore adjournment for want of time aft - r the p tssage of the bill. Out* re lations to the eonstbivion of Georgia are far diff-rent from the relations of Congress to that, instrument. Any act of Congress is paramount to that in strument, and Congress hail the right, if it. had thought it. expedient, to have shaped that constitution to have con formed to its wishes or requirements; while, on the other hand, we are sworn to support that constitution; it is par amount to your enactments; and your action, to b) valid, must conform to that instrument.' I believe that in admitting Georgia, Congress has the light, in its good judgment, to have expunged from the constitution any pint thereof, as it did the relief portion of that instrument. — And had Congi’ess, in the exercise of th it right, expunged from that iustru- ' meat the (12th) tw-.dvth section of the (11th) eleventh article and in lieu thereof provided that the general as se ably and cinl officers of the State should hold f>r a full term after the State is admitted, it would not, in ray judgement, have transcended its au to mty in the premises. But Congress li is 111 uitted the Sffite without enact m ' 1 la v prohibiting elec until; 1872, or expunging from the constitu ti »n the section above alluded to, and, after the State h is been admitted, the general assembly thereof cannot enact a law prohibiting elections until the ye-\r eighteen hundred and xrornty-two, f>r s1 Vo action of the general assem bly w ard not only be without a ithor- V\’ of law. but in palpable violation of toe constitution of the State. Had Congress provided th it the general as b.anMy should hold fora full term of years afiar the almissi >ll of the State, su ;’.i action would have been to hive expurgated from the constitution the lection above alluded to, and to have prod dined it to th world as a rebuke for the folly of the general assembly in organizing illegally in 18G8, with men in its body who were there in de fiance of the very law under which they wore convened, and its folly in subsequently expelling from its body all persons of color. But had Con gress provided specially in the bill that elections should be held in Georgia in the year I*7o, in pursuance with the c institution of said State, would not only hate been casting a reflection up on the party in power in Georgia, but would have been adininnistering to it a most positive rebuke. Goneness sim ply passed a bill admitting the State, without interfering one way or the other in the matter of elections in Ga., and the constitution of Georgia pre vails and will control the The constitution of Georgia being left undisturbed by the bill admitting the State, the direct provisions of the con stitution require t hat elections be held in the year 1870. It is evident Con gress did not intend to assume the responsibility of passing a law prohibit ing elections until 1872, and the only question now is, as the law snys noth ing upon the subject of elections, are elections to be field in November next, in pursuance wi.th the constitution of the tState? Congress Ins r.rlinitted the State without caimiialining that tlie elec tions shall or shall not he held in No vember next. T > have commanded that the elections shall be held in No vember next, when bnr constitution plainly provides that they shall be so held, is to charge tin party in Georgia with an intention to violate the con stitution they have recently made, and which they have, many of them, sworn to support, end send us into the open ing campaign wit h a mosts were, though unmerited rebuke. I have yet to learn of the tirst instance of any one from Jeorgi i who possesses any knowledge of legal ptinciples asserting that in the absence of legislation on on life part ot Congress, superseding our constitution, the elections can be legally dispensed with by the general assembly, and I would have regretted ho have seen .so sertve a rebuke ad- iiiiui.su v< and o the lb lu’ lican party in Georgia by the national Government, beenur.e of the expressed views of a fi-w indi-id.nils not. professing legal r.t taimnn.t . 1 his brings us to the questi n: “Dei . the constitution of Georgia provide for elections in November 18- 70?” The c invention which framed the constitution of Georgia closed its labors and adj. urned on the 11 to of March. 1868. By an ordinance of that con vention. adopted March 10th, 1808, an - lection was held, beginning on the 20th day of April following, for iiiem b< rs of the general assembly and for certain State and county offices. It was prei’fimd by that convention that die State- would be admitted within n few weeks afte r its adjournment, as is shown bv the third paragraph of the first sectiou of the third article of the constitution, which provided that the general assembly should meet within ninety.ds»\s after the adjournment of the come tion. Supposing that the •State w< ul l lie admitted during the spi i.ig t f 180$, and knowing that in the body of the constitution (pur. 2. sec. 1, ait. 3,) the terms of represen tatives and senators had been fixed at two and four years, without date, it became necessary to lix, in an ordi nance a da! 1 from which these terms should run. It was not deemed advi sable to have the terms commence from the date <>f the admission oi the State into the Union by Congress, beciuse it was “uppo: ed that the State would be admitted in A lay or June, 18G8, which would have terminated their terms in in that event in May or June, 1870. But with a view of giving to the first generally assembly, and all officers elected at the same time, the benefit of the few intervenii g months, it was provided, by an ordinance approved .March 10, 1868, that the first general assembly, and all officers elected at that time, should hoi l as though they were elected the Tires.lay after the Ist Monday in November, 18G8. Thecon s'it ution, par. 2 sec. 1, art. 3. provid ed th ,t the first election for the gene ral assembly should be within sixty days after the adjournment of the con vention, and all subsequent elections should begin on Tuesday after the Ist, Monday in November of every second year, until otherwise provided by the general assembly. The first election taking place in Ap il, and all subse quent. elections being provided for in November, it became necessary to take some step to bring about regularity of succession. No regularity of succes sion could have been provided for in the constitution, if it had been provid ed that the membirs should hold fora full constitutional term from the date .of the admission of the State, for no one knew when the State would be admitted, it was supposed by those who framed the constitution, and the ordinance under consideration, that the provision for holding as though they were elected in November, 18G8, gave an additional length of time to the legislators and officers elected in April, 18G8, which they would not get if tin y only held for a constitutional term from the date of the admission of the State. A simple ordinance of the convention might have been suffiT cient to h ive protected the general as sembly, but would riot have been suffi cient for the protection, under some circumstances, of many of the officers elected at that time. Had the State be. n admitted in May or June, 18G8, this provision would have given about six months additional to the terms of all officers elected at that time. But as it was .apprehended there was noth ing to pevent a future Democratic gen eral assembly from disregarding a .Am ple ordinance, and depriving ordina ries, who hold for four years, judge s of the superior court, who hold for eight years, raid many other officers whose terms extend beyond the elec tion for the general assembly of those extra six months, it was, therefore, pr ;vided by the 12th paragraph of the lit,h article of the constitution, that this ordinance shall have the foice of Liw until it expires by its own limita tion, while all other ordinances shall have the force of laws until otherwise provided by the general assembly. Thus if will be seen that no future Democratic general assemblage can disturb tiiis ordinance, and deprive an 1 ordinary, judge, or other officer, of these few months by declaring that Georgia was admitted into the Union in July, 1868, by the admission of cer tain representatives into Congress, and his term of office being fixed in the constitution, and that time having , Ups and since said admission, then fore I his term of office has expired— Suc h j injustice could not be perpetrated up on Ih publ can State and county offi cers by a future Democratic general assembly', because the constitution for bids any general assembly from repeal jug or amend.ng said ordinance. It no Dtnn or a tic general assemby ran ashorten the term cf office, because this ordinance is i ade a part of the constitut ion as it w; re, and says all the officers bold from November, 1868, a:id not from the time of our admis sion, thin the question arises, how can a Republican general assembly length en the term of office in defiance of this ordinance end the. constitutu u ? Un d-ei' the constitution of Georgia it is equally out of the power of a Demo cratic general assembly to shorten, or a Republican general assembly t o lengthen the te;m of office. Tut we are told that the government is provis ional until we are admitted, and there fur e the legislators and officers hold a full term after the State is admitted.— There is no force in tins proposition, but i is a mere attempt to give a mag ic influtrioe to the word i-ucuional. — Even if the State had been admitted in the spring or summer of 1868, yet f.>r a brief period the government would necessarily have been provision al from the time of its organization up to ils admission; and no one will con- I tend that its having been provisional for a few weeks or months in 1868, would have deprived the general as sembly or the officers throughout the State cf their right to hold as though they were elected in November, 1868. The reconstruction laws and the Geor gia constitution contemplated that the new State government should be pro visional during a certain stage of the v.oik of reconstruction, and the term of the general assembly, or of State or county oflie. rs, cannot in any way be affec ed l y the question as to when the State go. 1 n.ment ( eased to he prov s ; ioi’ui. The word prooisutual possesses no more virtue in and teimiffing the j question of elections than it would ! have possessed had the government : been provisional for u few weeks cniy in the year 1868 But we are told that it is a party necessity, and, therefore, if we possess the power, we must p rpetuate our general assembly. The qnes ion of prop lie y or expediency may have t»een legitimately raised be fore Con gress, as a body paramount to our State constitution; but when C ingress did not deem it expe bent to change a constitntion, which it had a right to change, and left, that constitution Ij ope:ne u; 0.1 and bind a gtneuil as sembly, 'tint body must shape and. guide its action in observe nee of that constitution. Party necessity is no excuse for a legislate’* or officer v.ho knowingly and palpably violates a plain provision of a constitution which he is .-,w\ rii to support. Though our party may have desired Congress to dispense with L.ese elect ions, yet Congress refused to do so, and passed a bi I which does not su persede our cm Jitution, and we must observe the constitution and maintain tiie right of the people to say who their representatives and public offi cers must be. We must seek to per petuate our party, not by depriving the people of their right to hold e’ec:- 1011s in pursuance with e restitution uu: by a wise, a just, and an economi cal administration of their affairs when intrust, dto us. I can conceive of nothing that would so effectually blast forever the hopes of our party in Geor gia as would a refusal on the pait of the general assembly to permit the people to hold their elections this fad. A confiding constituency would be slow 10 forgive or agiin confide in ore who is unwilling at the expiration of his term to return to them the trust reposed. I trust that there will not be any effort made by our Republican friends in the general asse übly to per petuate tin ir official position by pre venting an election, but that they will, upon the contrary, permit the elections to proceed in pursuance with the'con stitution, unless prevented under fede ral authority t#cau e of the non-rep resentation of the State. Now that we are at last about to emerge from our chaotic condition, now that w 7 e are at last about to suc ceed, after three long years of contest, of crimination and recrimination be tween neighbor and neighbor, in res toring our State to its proper relations to our national Government, it is to be lioped that all parties will now stiive to restore to the weary people of Geor gia that prosperity and liappiiuss to which they are entitled. Let every true Republican bend his best enei gies in one continued effort to make the Republican party of Georgia the acknowledged instrument of that pros perity and happiness Let there be no more schisms or factions in cur par ty, but let us all now act harmoniously. Let there be no more talk about or ganizing the good uu nos both the Republican and Democratic pai ties in to a newv party to work out the mani fest destiny of Georgia, but let us watch all such efforts to di.-integrate our glorious party with a jealous eye, while we throw open wide the doors of our Republican pu ty to all good men who wish to aid u s in bearing up ward and ouwaid the 1 auner of pro gress Very rtstec t?
