SPEECH
AT TIIE
Mays Ralifiratioa Meeting, at Atlan
ta, Georgia, Inly 23d, IS6B
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen :
I congratulate you, my friends, that
the time has cotuo in Georgia when the
porple can meet together as you have
assembled to day. When 1 say “the
people,” I mean just those before me
these women and children, these go:d
men and true, who are the representa
tives of the men and women through
out our State. I congratulate you, that,
you meet and again bear the voices of
your favorite tons-that you can respond
in your hearts to the patriotic sentiments
which fall from the lips of those son';
W hile the past cast its shad ws over the
land, aud my own heart is in full sym
pathy with the picture which was drawn
by my friend, yet I do feel rising up in
my soul the irimise of a brighter day
not far distant in the future.
To-day, in common with you, I have
hrar i the familiar voice of one who, in
times past, has aroused hts countrymen
lrom the mountains to the seaboard. He
speaks freely, Rod there is none to make
him afraid" [Applause.] God speed
the day when the echoes of that voice
shall be heard 'hrouglout all the land,
speaking from his old standpoint in the
National Legislature. My friends, the
argument on that branch of the subject
which has been discused by my friend,
has been presented to you so comprehen
sively that I shall not trespass upon
your time, nor weaken its power and
influence by a recapitulation of it It
was an exposition of truths that wil 1
live when you and I have passed aw»y
and ate gone. The people (f Georgia
to-day are passing through a trying or
deal, which, I trust and believe, will be
of short duration, and from which they
will emerge rt fined and purified like
gold from the furnace. They are living
under a gi vernmrnt whose days are
numbered, lu’ while it exists it is well
that we make the host wo can ofit. I
shall osier ,-oma snggestions here in your
hearing for the bem tit of those who are
called upon to administer that govern
ment, In order that, to the extent it is
in your power, your rights and interests
may receive sopie protection. I shall
> ff-r some advice to Governor Bullock.
Although he has not sent for me or
summoned me to his cour.cils, I shall
waive etiquette, and give him some ad
vice winch will do him god and ha of
great benefit to the State il he follows
it. If bo do uot f.llow it, it has cost
him so little be will have no right to
complain of uic for having offered i'. 1
would just say to him, Mr Bull ck,the
people 1 1 Giorgia have done you no
wrong. Il it your duty to it.flic as little
evil upon them as possible. He mem
the circumstances under which you have
been called up >u to ex. cu'e the dudes
of your Gubernatorial t ffiee, and my
advice to y. u is to behave you*. If just
as well as your nature at.d education
will admit. [Laughter and applause.]
I wt uld say to him, n all kindness,
that in the matter of character and rep
uta’iou, you have every thing to make
and nothing to lo >se. [Laughter and
applause] A hotter opportunity never
was offered to any man. He is like an
adventurous youth who goes into a
gambling house without money to p av
at faro - He has everything to win and
nothing to loose. lie may break the
bank, hut the bank caunot hurt him. I
would say to him, Mr. Bullock, this
(Jonstitu'ion which has been imposed
upon the people of Georgia against their
will and without '.heir approval, invests
you with a great deal of power. Exer
oiso it in a way to do g r od to the State
if you can. You have got a judiciary
to appoint. I would advise you to send
for the official copy of the address of
the C airman of the Grant and Colftx
Executive State Committee, written by
one Joseph E. Brown, in which he as
sumes to announce for you that the Ju
diciary of Georgia will be corruptly ap
pointed to subserve base aud partisau
purposes, aud when you get it make a
bonfire of the paper, and blot out from
your menory the recollcotion of its con
tents- Be not deceived with the idea
that your predecessor, tho author of this
paper, was partially successful iu adding
to his strength and popularity by a cor
rupt use of his official patrouaae, that a
like success will attend a like corrupt
corse on your part- If the argument
based on considerations of patriotism
and duty cannot reach you, lot me warn
you, as a matter of policy, not to resort
to a course so unworthy, so base, and
which, in the end, will be of no benefit
to you, hut must produce calaminous re
sults for the State. The appeal I make
for the appointment of an honest judici
ary is one which should commend itself
to the favor of any man holding the
position you occupy, though he reached I
that position by a not over creditable
accident, the details of which 1 will not
stop to discuss. I beg you torimembcr
that since the organization of the Su
pretne Court of Georgia do one has been
appointed to the uch who did not
command the respect and confidence of
the people Ni one has over fi led that
high sia'ion on whose integrity and hou
e.-ty the shadow of a doubt ever rested
It, rcmaius with you to determine wheth
er the high character of tiial 1! -uch shall
be maintained or whether it shall be
oouio are uge for destitute and di-card
ed politicians, whose infamy and treach
ery have made them outcasts from the
companionship of honest nien. [Ap
plause.} In the name of the people of
Georgia, I call upon you this day to
drive from your presence these bud men
who ask pou to forfeit tho only claim
you can ever have to public respect and
confidence, by the appointment of such
men to offices of trust and honor. Kid
yourself of the mLorable vermin who
are fastening themselves upon you, who
arc calling on you von to appoint them
to the Supreme Court, the Superior
Court and tho District Court, and who,
in the better days of the Republic, would
never have presumed to solicit tho ajv
pointmont of a door Trooper or messenger,
men whom you know to be unworthy,
and whose only claim to tho positions
they seek at your hands is tho record of
their own infamy. [Loud applause.]
Howstrong and startling it will sound
to the cars of those who lived beyond
tho limits of our State to hear an appeal
made by the people of Georgia to him
who Exercises the highest executive
power to grant tli6 State au honest ju
diciary ! And yet, strange as it may
appear, startling as it is, tho rumors
which fill the atmosphere of this capital
justify the apprehension upon which
the appeal is based. Therefore, I say
to you, Mr. Bnllock, be. warned in time.
Commit not these outrages upon n peo
pie who, Gid kni ws, have suffured
enough at the hands of their oppressors.
If you heed not this warning voice to
day, the time will come when you will
in saskcloth Bnd ashes the degradation
woieh you will have b ought upon your
self by the infliction of sueh an outrage
upon a brave, a generous, and an honest
paople, in whose conduct toward you,
you can find no justification for the in
jury you wiil have done. All I ask of
you is to appoint honest men to the
positions, men who will administer the
laws of the State in obedience to the
conscientious obligations of their oaths
Fill all the offices with honest men.
Protect the Treasury from the robber
band who are assembled here to break
in and steal. D > these things, and at
the end of your service you will have
the consolation of knowing that if you
have done the State no good, you will
have refrained from doing itany serious
harm. [Applause.] And for you, this
would be a result which your w rmest
admirers could not hav reasonably ae
. tieipated [Laughter aud applause.]
Aod now I turn from an appeal to
those in power to you, my countrym n,
| aud 1 invoke your aid and eo-opperati m
jin the great work before us, of lif ing
our State from its present fallen coudi
| tion, and restoiing it to it| former piros
■ tenty and cqu lity among her sister
' commonwealth’s of the Union. It is a
noble work, worthy of the best efforts of
( ur people, in which all good men can
J and ought to unigut wi h ;.n earnest and_
cordial good will. The day of arms
has passed. Wo lock for the dawn nf
a day of peace—such peace as catrius

the work of tbe trcf. Georgian.
My countrymen. I care not who you
tire, I care not what has been your
past party bis'ory, I look to your stat
us to-day. I wuDt to know what you
intend to do for your country in the
Itituro ? She has suftered much, she
has been wounded deeply, her b >dy is
covered over with tho evidences of
these wounds and this suffering. This
old Slate—that has been so kind to
you, so generous to mo, beyond all
that 1 deserve, beyond perhaps, what
you deserve—this noble, gallant, bleed
ing old State calis upon her sons to
come forward and aid in I lie good
w ork of redeeming her from the hand
of tho wrong—doer and oppressor. Is
ttiere in all Georgia one single heart,
native or foreign, who will not respond
in this the hour of her greatest trial,
the hour in w hich she is smuggling for
liberty and the constitutional rights of
all her children? The issue is fdrly
before you, my fiiends. .None can fail
to read it right. No man can plead
ignorance. Not ono who heard the ex
position to which you and I have lis
tened this morning, not one who has
heard the eloquent voices of her sots
throughout this land for months, can
plead ignorance hereafter. The issue
is made; on the one hand is a contin
uance and aggravation of the wrong
from which she has so long suffered
and is still suffering, and on the other
a speedy deliverance from the bonds
which have bound her and tho opening
of a bright and promising future The
path is open, you are invited to tread
it On the one hand there is darkness
and shadow, an I gloom, und con'in
ued mr-fortnne and oppression ; an f on
the other there is freedom, prosperity
and peace Ch ose you this day be
tween these two offerings made for
your free will acceptance My friends,
that great party of this country which
now brings within its fold every true
man of the land, North, S nth, East
and West, without reference to past
political differences, conies and tenders
y iu the guarantees of that Constitution '
which was framed by the wisdom and i
consecrated by ihe blood of your lath- |
ers. Come und stand by us. GiveJ
your support to the men who are
pledged to carry out these principles. I
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.
We have put a candida'e before you
for the highest office ill the country—
n intin known ns u stutosinan through
out the htnd—a man vvl oso record in
tho punt has been true to ‘.httse great
principles of conxtiintional right V\ o
iiuve placed before you n candidate
fur Vice-President, one who, it i« true,
like Gen Grant, f light you during the
wnr ; but, Unlike Gan Grunt, cemrd to
fight you when the wnr was over.—
[Applause.] I honor a brave man. —
l can do reverence to his virtues,
though he has drawn the sword against
mo. I honor such a men, und to-day
give evidence of it in tho cordis ity
with which 1 will cost my vote for
Frank P Blair, for Vico President of
the United States. But the man who,
after the battle is over, travels over the
livid, und with a valor that l cannot
commend, draws his sword to thrust
it into each corpse as ho pusses along,
such a man can never cutnmnhd my
respect, and if mv advice is beetled
will never get a vote in Georgia.
Let the people of the Nortti under
stand that we give to Seymour and
Blair our warm and hearty support,
with a perfect knowledge on our part
that the one in the Cabinet and the
other on the field, were fully identified
with tboso who prosecuted the war
against us. and to whose overwhelm
ing numbers, wo finally surrendered.
We do not pretend to say that we sup
port them because they warred against
us, but in spite of it, believing, as we
do, that in a rest red Union they will
extend to us those sacred constitution
nl rights of which they are now the
chosen and honored representatives.—
And this is all that the people ol the
South ask or expect at the hands of the
people of the North.
These are the men, theso are the
pledges which are offered to you by
those whom I commend to your
donee and support to-day. On tho
other hand you are offered for the
Presidency. Gen Grant. I have said
ar much ol him ns he ever said of him
self, and, therefore, he has no right to
complain that I have not treated him
with proper respect. Ol Mr Cclfax,
the candidate for the Vice Presidency
I am not sufficiently informed ol his
history in order to give you an/ very
sa'isfac'ory account es him. My opin
ion is, however, if when in tho days of
his infancy, his mother had been told
that he would he a candidate for Vico
Pres'dent, it "would have run the old
lady crazy [Laughter and cheers ] It
is sufficient to say of them that they
stand before you as the representatives
of .ho Chicago platform. That is eon
demnation enough. But these men,
fellow citizens, are of to day and will
piss away. The principles which they
represent, belong to tho future and
will live long after those who uphold
them are forgotten.
THE CHICAGO rLATPOttM.
You have before you the great po
litical truths presented by the Democ
racy of the country Let tis go for a
moment t > Chicago and see what was
presented there for the people of this
eountiy What is offered to you by
that Convention of wild anti bad men
who placed Gen. Grant and Mr Col
fax before the country? I will not
stop to discuss tho double faced reso
lut ons on finance, I come to tho main
starling proposition which you are call
ed upon to give your sanction to, and
which most neatly affects your inter
ests
Follow citizens, that platform an
nounces to you that a white man’s
government shall he guaranteed to the
people of tho Nor h, but that n 'groes
aro good enough for Geo'gia anti Uv
peoptle of tho South. 1 do not protend
to quote the language or tho precise
words, bll' B’.ich aro tho priuripVs and
doctrines enunciated, 'the Radicals
have not denied it in their press— they
have not denied it by their public men
—they canno', daro not deny it. That
platform says thot the negroes of the
South (shall Ye guaranteed and [no
tooted in the exorcise of political pow
er, the right of suffrage, the tight of
sitting in the jury box, tho right of
holding seats iu the Legislature and
upion tho bench, and that it is all right
anti proper for you, and for the people
of the South, that this should bo trio
case ; but when asked to put it t > peo
ple of the N >rth, to tlu freemen of the
Weal, and the freemen ot the East and
the Middle States, they said, N’o !
they are entit'od to a white man’s gov
eminent; they are entitled lo the pro
tection which had been given them Iry
tho father* of tho land, from the earli
est organization of the Government;
they are the sons of the revolutionary
tuthois who fought end with their
blood won the liberty of this country
—by th'ir wisdom adopted the Gbnsli :
tution. They shall have a white man’s
government; they are worthy, of it;
thev deserve it ; but sot those rebels
down South, those men in Georgia,
those women and children in Georgia,
they deserve no snch protection ; they
Hha I have guaranteed to them no such j
Government.’’ My friends, what think
you of these men of the North ? What \
think you of the Grants and Colfaxes ?j
of the Thad Stov< nscs ? tho Sumners
and ’lie Wilsons of the North, who I
went to Chicago and then wrote it |
down in cold blood there was no j
passion thero was no excitemont—i
there were no war tones soundin'
throughout the bind—but coolly, cairn
ly, passionless, they wrote it and >wn up-1
on their platform : ‘ The peop’e of the j
South, you must, submit to negro *u f - !
frage, you must submit to negro su-l
premuey ; but for our own people wo!
reserve the o and iundinniks of ihe Con-!
s itution ?” Today they defend the i
policy which pu's these negroes in the |
Legislature ‘J o-duy that platform says '
Uiy friend (poin ing to Mr. Toombs)
and myseii are proper y and justly ex |
eluded from the right of suffrage, from
tho right of holding office j but these

laws to govern and control this groat

bilimeiit of private citizen? Why!
should they wonder and stand amazed |
bocau o we bid thorn not to the feast
when our friends are invited to assem

men, to expect it? Put don mo if l
dwell upoll it I want to express It,
and I urge i' upon you. until there
shall exist in the heart aud soul of ev
ery son ami daughter that walks and
bruit*hs her pure air, ami lives upon
her happy soil, this conviction, that
theso m nos the Noith, these Chicago
men, these men who call upon y< u to
vote for Grunt and Colfax, and that
Grant and Cos fax, who have indorsed
these things, are neither worthy of
your vote, your respect, or of your
confidence, much less of your kindness
and hospitality. My Irienda, they r; our pn
ptuies. I state it ia cool aud calm daba'e. If
they were our friends, they could not, duuhly
w ong us, and if ih re beat in their beeom one
singb kindly emotion for the people of the
South, ll ey would never have made this pub
lie declaration to the world of your unwor
thitiess and the conti mpt. which they feel for
you. Enemiot they wire in war, enemies they
continue to be in peace. In war we drew tne
sword and bade them defiance; in peroe we
gather up the manhood of the South, and
tai-ing the banner of Constitutional (quality,
and gatheiing around it the good men ol the
North as well as the South, we hurl into ffceir
toeth to-day the same defiance, and bid them
come on to the st u/gle. We are ready (or
it if they are. [Great applause ] But, my
countrymen, if innse are the feelings which
rise in your bosom, in rtfe ence to these men
ol the North—these men who have no bond
of union with you—these men who never
nod upon your soil unless it was to plunder
and to rob—these men who know not these
women and children—there men who have
never wo'shipped at your al-au, who never
[communed with the g od no n sad women of
\o>r State around that altar erected lo the
living God—if the-e are yrur feelings to
wards strangers iu blood, sympathy and asso
c ation, what can be your feelitg towards
thjse men of Georgia w ho travellod these hun
dreds of miles to meet ih"?e men at Ghieugn,
who sat upon the bench with them, who went

joe nitoWN,
A friend told me, as I Was coming
here tho other day, that le heard an
other say that by a sp< ech that I had
made it Davis’ 11 ill I had made half
ad zci votes for Jjo Brown. Well, I
conic to make half ad z u more to-day.
Ho aod bis associate* joined and united
in pronouncing this infamous doctrine
—*he negro is good eu >uah fur Georgia,
bnt not good enough fur O .i t and Now
Yo k Are not the ptuple of Georgia
right iu assigning Lim the statu* which
he has taken for himself ? If negroes
are good enough for Georgia, it is tba:
kind of Georgia that ha is, and I shidi
not dispute tho doctrine. [Laughter
and applause.] Lit him assccia’e with
hem, but white men of this country,
cut loose front hem. [A vuico says
“Amen.'] Amen, and Am ti ! Let
it reverberate over your mountains,
down your valleys, from your old men
and your young m ;o, your women au 1
ymr children, uutil one grand chorus
shall ring thtougb every tLrobbing
heart! ‘‘O/er board with him! He

when I see them talking to a negro, I

more votes for Joe Brown. 1 will give
him about three u ore at.-d quit him.—
I say to you, my friend*, you owe it to
yourselves, y- u owe it to the uublc
