From the Atlanta Intelligencer. Intercatins Correspondence— Cx-Governor Browa on the State ot the South. Atlanta, Feb. 22, 1867. //on. Joseph E. Brown, Atlanta, Ga.: Sik—We trust that under the pe culiar circumstances of our condition, and of the country at large, you will concede the right, on the part ol the people, to know the views and candid opinions of those in whom they have long confided. Identified, as you are, with every irterest of Georgia ; having been the iccipient ot the confidence and suffrages of our people, in a degree, and extent unparalleled in the history of our State; and experienced in. and informed upon, all governmental mat ters affecting the vital interests ot a 1 classes ot our people, it is but natural, that m our present distressed condi tion. we should turn to you as a senti nel upon the watch tower, and ask vou, - What of the night?” ' In addition to the above considera tions, which would of themselves be ample apology lor thus calling upon vou, we have an increased desire to know your honest and candid convic tions, from the fact of your recent sojourn in Washington Guy, where, from your position as a statesman and your representative charaetei, you doubtless enjoyed unusual facilities lor learning our exact condition as to the present, and the probabilities as to the future. Therefore, we sincerely and earnestly call upon you, as we believe, for the good ot our Slate, and every interest ol the great masses ot our people, to present to us fully, freely. and frankly, your views upon the con dition of the country ; and what course, in your judgment, should be pursued bv the people of Georgia in the present crisis. Hoping that you will accede to our request with that frankness and candor which his ever characterized your ac tion as a public man, we have the honor to he. most respectfully, yours, Ac, Ira lv.

Gentlemen: —1 have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Kind and flattering communication. While 1 do not pretend that I possess the influence you are pleased to attribute to me, 1 confess with profound grati tude the obligations I am under to the people of Georgia, who have so olteu honored me with their confidence; and have never withheld from me any position lor which I have been a can~ didate, from the lowest to the highest within their gift. You are pleased to address me the “sentinel upon the watch tower,” and von ask me, “V\ hat ol the night Were 1 the sentinel, I should unhesi tatingly reply : The night is dark, dreary, gloomy ; no rainbow of hope spans the black impenetrable cloud that overshadows us. Scarcely a ray of light is seen upon its margin. But lam not the sentinel. I hold no pub lic position at present imposing that responsibility, nor have I sought or held any since the war, nor do 1 ever expect to bold any in future, l have no power to control events. \Y ere it even the desire ol tire people of my beloved State to invest me again with official authority,and my own wish to accept, there is a power higher than their will, which will deny my eligi bility. I, therefore write, as indeed my cus tom is. with perfect frankness, without regard to the effect which the commu nication of truth may have upon my present or future popularity. I am aware that the facts which 1 feel it my duty to communicate, are unacceptable to the good people of Georgia, but they are none the less Jacts on that account. During my late sojourn in the City ol Washington, 1 conversed freely with j persons high in authority in every de partment cf the Government, and with meu ol distinction of every shade of political sentiment which is represent ed there. 1 was received, as was Judge Walker, of the Supreme Court of this State, who accompanied me, with kindness and courtesy. Mv ob jeet was to learn the true State of aflairs, and l believe 1 succeeded.— \ The result may be summed np 3s fol- ! lows; 1 'File party nsu lly designated the ••Radical party,” is sustained by the majority of the people of the North. The Cong--s«meu "I that party are generally represent at ive men. 'Plie Democratic party is not sus tained by the people of the North, and is not gaining ground. As is always the case after a successful war, the party in the government which is set down a9 opposed to the war, is unpop ular. The reconstruction policy of the President is not sustained by the popular sentiment of the Northern peo ple. The Radical party is at issue with ' the President. The breach is wide j and the contest angry. They have ■ over two-thirds in each branch of 1 Congress, and have power to pass any measure they please over his veto. — By this means they are constantly hedging hint in more closely, and limiting his power. He stands firmly by what he considers the right, and avows his purposes to support the Constitution, and maintain the just rights of the Slates under tfie Consti tution. lie still holds the doctrine that no State could or did go out of the Union, and that at the end of the war he had the right to reconstruct repub lican governments in the insurrection ary Slates. They deny his power ol reconstruction and contend, that as the power to make war is vested in Con gress, the power to make peace, and re-establish Stale joveruments in the States lately in rebellion, rests also with Congress. They are a unit in I denying the validity ol the S'ate gov i erninents formed under the direction ol the provisional Governors appointed by the President. They are also a unit in sustaining the constitutional amendment proposed at the last session as a basis ol reconstruction. And since this has been rejected by the Southern States, they now unite in the determination, that no State shall be re.admitted, nor shall the State Gov ernments of ilie insurrectionary States be recognized or established till eacli Suite has adopted the constitutional amendment, and incorporated into its Constitution a guaranty of universal manhood suffrage. Thev are. in my opinion, also a unit in their determin ation, so soon as three-fourths of the Stales which they call loyal, by which is meant, the States represented in Congress, have ratified the constitu tional amendment, to declare it adopt ed, and to enforce their construction. This, they have the power to do. It is, therefore, a fixed fact that the con stitutional amendment will he adopted i in ave-v short time, as it was said when 1 left Washington, they lacked hut a single State, and it was expected that moie than one would act very soon. Upon the above points there exists no division of opinion which is worth notice in the Radical party. Just here, however, a diversity of opinion com mences. The more radical wing of the party, which is not a majority, nor is it at present sustained by a majority of the people of the North, is for setting aside the present Slate governments as absolutely null and void , and declaring all acts done under them void, except such as Congress chooses to approve ; as the repudiation of our State war debts, the abolition of slavery by the Slates,&c., which they would ratify. They also desire to place us under military government till State govern ments can be organized upon their plan. In the organization they wish to exclude, not only from eligibility to office, but from the ballot box and the jury box, all persons who voluntarily participated in the rebellion, and to place t he government of these States in the hands of the few whom they call loyal men among us ; and the Irced ' men, who as they expect, would form State Constitutions forever disfranchis ing us, and depriving us of all parties pation in the government, or in the execution of the laws. Ihe bills known as the military bill and the Louisiana bill, which passed the House, embody substantially these measures. { In addition to this, it is believed to be their ultimate design to confiscate the property of the South for the payment of the war debt of the United States, so soon as the popular minu North can he educated or excited to the proper point; and to obviate constitutional difficulties, if any are admitted to ex ist, by amendments conferring ithe necessary power ratified by three fourths of the loyal Stiles, This class is not believed to be a large one at present, but if we continue to reject the terms proposed by Congress, it is believed, it will grow rapidly in popu lar fa* r or, in the Northern States, and that politicians now disposed to be more moderate wilt be obliged to bend ■ to the storm. The other wing of the Republican ! party, called the moderate wing, do not i desire to destroy or dtive us from the j country. They know that commercial and general prosperity cannot long j continue, if the present difficulties re- j main unadjusted, the labor and energy | of the South paralyzed, and that finan- j cial panic and great depression must ; be the ultimate result, They, there- i tore, desire a settlement of the ques~ j lion. But they are as determined as j the ultra wing in their opposition to j the President’s policy, and will, at all j hazards, mai .tain the power of Con-I gress over the whole question of , adjustment. They tell us that we , complied with every requirement made , by the President, whose jurisdiction j over that they deny, but when Congress,, possessing as they claim, all power in the premises, tendered us the constitu tional amendment as a settlement, which they claim was liberal, when tendered bv the conquerors to the conquered, we rejected it, and, in their language, hurled it in their teeth. This they say greatly irritated the people of the North, and caused them to demand ul us, not only the constitu tional amendment, which we have re jected but to add toil universal suffrage, j And they now tell us that nothing less will ever be accepted, by Congress or the people of the North, and that the j rejection of these bv the Southern peo ple will be followed by increased rigor, and the general exclusion of rebel? from all political privileges, if not by the appropriation of their property to the use cf the govern meiit. When asked why they did not in form us that the adoption of the constitutional amendment by us should I Ibe received as a settlement, they re j ply that they so intended it, and that ! such would have been the result. And jas an earnest of their good faith they i point their action in the prompt ad mission of Tennessee when she adop ted the amendment, and the action of the Senate in reference to the modifi cation of the test oath to permit one of her Senators to take his seat who was very hostile to their party. When their attention is called to the fact that the people of the South regarded it very humiliating to be required to re cord the decree of exclusion ol their representative men. who only executed their will, from positions of official trust, they reply that the position of the conquered is always humiliating. But that this was no more humiliating than it was for General Lee to surren der his sword to General Grant, when he had no further means of successful resistance; and no more humiliating than it was for us, under the direction of the President, to meet in solemn convention and repeal the ordinance of secession, which we had passed with so many demonsirations of'proud defi ance—i o more humiliating than it was for us, who boasted of our State credit, to be required to repudiate our State war debt —and no more humiliating than it was, alter we had contemned Mr. Lincoln’s emancipation proclama tion, to ratify it as part of the Consti tution ot the United Stales, and incor* porate it into our State Constitution. When told that so large a proportion of our people have, at some time in their lives, held office, and sworn to support the Constitution of the United Slates, the adoptnin of the amendment will render it next to impossible for us to organize our courts without the im portation of judges, or to find, suitable | men to fill our county offices, they sav they were not aware that this class was so large as it is now represented to he, but that Congress will still have the power, by a t\vo-thi r ds vote, to re lieve them, and that they do not doubt that compliance with the terms on our part will so far solten the feelings of the people of the North, that our judges and other officers will very soon be relieved, except our political leaders, who may be required to submit to ex elusion for a longer period. These are the views of the more moderate wing of the party in power. It is no longer a question whether the freedmen shall ’ vote —that is already decreed in his favor ; but the question is whether the white men who aided in the war against the United States shall vote. 'Phis will not be permitted if we continue to throw obstacles in the way of reconstruction upon the basis of the constitutional amendment and universal suffrage. As 1 have already stated, the bills passed in the House embody the sub stance of the more radical programme, except upon the question of general confiscation, for which the popular sentiment is not yet prepared. The Military bill was amended it? the Sen ate, on the motion of Mr. Sherman, so as to allow each State to be relieved and re-admitted upon the adoption of the constitutional amendment and uni versal sulirage, the latter to be secured by constitutional provision in each State, and the Constitution to be ap proved by Congress. The bill, as amended, was sent back to the House, where, if the telegrams are reliable, the amendment was rejected, the ma jority of the House being unwilling to recognize the prtsent State govern ments and re-admit us to Congress up on our compliance with the terms contained in the Sherman amendment. It seems, however, from the dispatches published, that this was afterwards re considered, and what is known as the Wilson amendment, which excludes all persons included in the constitution al amendment from voting as well as from office, was adopted as an ttonal provision. And also, an amend ment that the present Stale govern ments are to be regarded as only provisional, to he displaced at the will of Congress. As thus amended, we are informed, the bill has passed both j Houses, and will no doubt become a i law, without the President’s sanction. [ This simply gives us a few more days i ol grace, which is the best that even moderate Republicans wtil sanction.— If our people improve the time, and act promptly, we may save something; if we do not, all is lost. Our prompt! adoption of the constitutional amend" j nieut and universal sulirage would, in : my opinion, settle tire question.— j Nothing less ever will. It might have j the further effect ol adjusting the tin - j happy differences which exist between j the President and Congress. He has contended all tne while that the ques tion ot suffrage belongs to the States, it thev move and extend it. he has no j reason to be displeased. On the other j hand, Congress refuses to recognize the State governments established un der his direction, without their adop tion of the constitutional amendment and universal suffrage. By a compli- 1 ance on the part of the States, Con gress nuintains its point of honor. — The Democratic members of Congress have agreed with the President that the suffrage question is one for the States to decide. The pride of each party has been staked upon the main" tenance of its position Unfortunately for us, while this fight is progressing we are between the upper and the nether millstone, being ground to atoms. The longer it lasts, the worse we are ruined. Here, then, the inquiry naturally presents itself, what is best for us to do? I answer, “Agree with thine ad versary quickly.” We are prostrate and powerless. We can offer no fur ther resistance. The conquerors dic tate their own terms, which are height ened in severity by the delay of the conquered to accept them. Because we have lost immensely, is it wise stubbornly to sacrifice the little that is left to us ? The decree has gone forth that some of us, myself among others, who were called to lead our people and direct public affairs during the late unhappy struggle, shall be disfran chised, and at least politically sacrific ed. If the sympathies of those whom we represented were not with us, they would be less than human. But is it best that they cling to us till they have made beggars of their wives and child ren, and plunged themselves into ir* retrivable ruin, when their fidelity can do us no good? I think not. Justice to their wives and children require, that we do not encourage them in this course. And above all, if peace, quiet, and returning prosperity can be restor ed to our unhappy country by the sacrifice, we should make it without further hesitation or delay. Let us accept the position, as we have already professed to do, in good faith. Let us s&e to it that the laws are faithfully and impartially executed —'that the most proscriptive loyalist, and the most degraded fieedman, have the same measure of right and justice, which is meted out to our own people. As all are obliged to admit that there can be no future separation, and as we have chosen to remain under the Government ot the United States rather than seek homes elsewhere, we should now do all in our power, while we claim its protection, to discharge faith fully all our duties as citizens. As we live under it we should look to it as the Government of our own choice. Its liag is now our flag, its credit our credit, and we should determine, come what may, to forget the past, and defend and sustain both with all our ability in future. We have in the South a country of vast fertility and great nat ural resources. They need develon j ment. We have entered upon anew I era. We need capital and labor.— ! Neither will come till our difficulties | are settled, and our political status I defined. Every Northern;man or for eigner who brings physical strength or capital into Georgia, adds to her wealth, and should be' regarded as a friend, and treated as such. In our depressed condition, i( men who are void of the better feedings of our natuie come among us to insult us by insolence, let us refuse to bandy words with them.— Compared with the great mass of the Northern people, these characters are lew, and must soon give plaee to better men, A magnauimous man never re joices over the sufferings of a fallen adversary. Time will heal most of our wounds, and we who in the war were enemies, will soon be in peace friends. The sooner this is the case, the better for the whole country. In I view of these considerations, I ihink it best that we, as the conquered, yield the points in controversy at once. It only remains for me to add, that I consider it the duty of the Governor ol Georgia to call the Legislature together without delay,, and to recommend the passage of attract calling a conven tion of the people of this State, to so change our State Constitution as to provide for universal suffrage in con formity to the measure which has pass" ed Congress, known as the Sherman amendment; and to provide for the early election of a Legislature which will adopt the constitutional amendment in accordance with said requirement. We now have the assurance of Con gress in the passage of this bill, that this shall settle the question of our admission. We shall never get better terms. Let us comply with them, and be ready to be represented in the next Congress as soon as possible. - I respectfully suggest that the people of the several counties of this State, who favor the proposed action, hold public meetings, with as little delay as possible, and urge upon the Governor to convene the Legislature and recom mend them to take prompt action.— The Governor and Legislature were elected before Unconstitutional amend ment was proposed, and I respectfully submit thajjdds their imperative du ty r , in the present condition of the country, to take the necessary steps to refer this question to the people at the ballot box. The most appropriate mode of doing th is, is to order an elec tion for delegates to a convention, to act upon the proposition now submitted by Congress. This they cannot with propriety refuse, if the people demand it. Let the people speak. If the State will adopt this line of policy, and the Convention will me morialize Congress asking that the judges, county officers, and others necessary to the efficient working of the State Gevernraent, be relieved from the provisions of the constitutional amendment, I believe the petition, il presented in a proper spirit, will be granted, and we shall soon be relieved of much of the gloom which is now wide spread over the whole South. If we reject the terms proposed in the ’ -sw?(pk. Sherman bill, I confess I see no hope lor the future. Should we accept them, I trust the example of Georgia may be followed by other States, and that this i vexed question may soon be perman' j ently settled upon the best terms which j we will ever be able to get. I am aware of the rapidity of the changes which we are required to make, and of the natural prejudices which our people entertain against negro suffrage. But we should not forget, in yielding to an inevitable necessity, that these people were raised among i us, and naturally sympathise with us. Their conduct during the war proved this. If, then, we treat them kindly, pay them their wages promptly, and in all respects deal justly by them, we shall seldom have cause to complain of their refusal to respect our wishes, or consult our interest at the ballot box. As the questions which I have dis cussed are of vital importance to the whole country ; and as 1 do not wish to be misunderstood or misrepresented. I respectfully request the editor of each newspaper who comments upon my letter, to give it entire to his readers. This is due alike to me and to the public. Praying that the God who rules the universe may speedily bring order out of contusion, and send his richest blessings upon our whole country, I am, most respectfully, your obedient servant, Joseph E. Brown. Messrs. Foster, Alexander, Collier, and others. following is the Bill that has passed both branches of Congress and is now in the hands of the Presi" dent.
