Democratic .Meeting in Terrell.
The citizens of Terrell having for a
week previous been notified that the
lion. J. T. Clttrke, Hon. Thos. Harde
man, and Col. C. Goode would address
them yesterday. At an early hour, both
white and bia;k had assembled in the
Court house yard where ample seats and
a stand bad been arranged for tbe accotn
odation of beth speaker and audianoe.—
They patiently awaited the arrrivalof
the train which only brought onr much
honored end highly esteemed fellow cit

speakers frtm unavoidable circumstan-
CCB tJtlTl Vcuu iHtaiuwl ai Lomo.
Hut our little Judge as be is famil
iarly kcown, was just ns good as wo
wanted, and most haudsome'y cid be
tequit Limself. The speaker was am
rounccd to the audience by our fellow
citizen, D. A. Coehran, amid a deafen
ing applause. Tbc Judge being well
known in Terrell, and having their un
bounding colL'lcdcc and respect of her
citizens, had their undivided attention
during bis whole speech which had a
telling effect on the color'd portion of
Lie audience, so much so M 10 canßC
thtm to organize a Democratic cliA l* Bl
night of some 20 or 30 member.
We talked with a prominent blaci |
man who had been formerly a rampant
radical, but said that he had Uarned
from the Judge’s speech that he bad
been sadly deceived, but never knew it
until be hoard that speech, and is now
one of the members of the Democratic
club. Buch was the case with many
others he tells us. The speech showed
hr the most glowing light the perfidi
ousness of the radicals and their extra*
ordinary efforts to deceive the blaeks;
so much se that we predict that it will
completely demolish all Loyal Leagues
hereabout. If we had space and time |
we would like to give to the public
much of this excellent effort of the
Judge’s.
Our old friend, the Rev. Jonathan
Davie, addressed the citizens in a brief
and eloquent speech of some fifteen
minutes with good effect.
At the close of the speaking the eit
mene appointed the following delegates
to the CouveniJ-'U of the 2d Congress

Almost every day, we witness the
cffecta of ardent spirits, we see walking
: specimens of the woful habit with their
( btain poisoned web the baneful fluid.—
If nsed as a medicine, it is a blessing;
but as a beverage it is a cureo upon the
' human raoe. Wc regrot to learn that
aotne of our promising yoar.g men par
take too freely of theso spirits. If you
have taken only one dram, take no
more ; if yon have taken two or three,
stop at that; it will ruin you if you oon.
tinue to indulge in this destructive bev
erage. You may think of taking only
one or t wc drinks tad not be injured by
it; you may for a time, but beware!
The poison lies hidden deep within tbe
cup. Perhaja your first drink was on
ly to gratify a thoughtless friend, wbo
was in the habit of taking drinks, you
may have had no idea of drinking any
more by, recetvisg a treat from bim
brought you under obligations to requite
the favor. How rainy of our intelli
gent young men rre made confirmed
drunkards in this way. Notice the in
toxicated man as be reela along the
' streets, wbo wants te associate wi.h him,
I eves bis intimate friends aro ashamed
i of bim, see him as he stsggerj from ODe
' door te another, eaeb merchant as be
passes, no doubt, feels relieved by being
shed of him. Tike care young man, if
you aro in the habit of drinking spirit
uous liquors yuo are liable any time to
fall into the channel of incorrigibility.
I addre-s the yonog men more particu*.
larly beoause tbe country to a great de
gree is dependent upon you for its fu*
ture prosperity. Think of it young
men, when the great and useful men of
the country pass away, who are to fill
tbeir places? Every one must undoubt
edly answer, therising generation. As
this is evident how important then is it
for each and one to be sober
minded and fully adequate to the times.

fipeeeli of Hon. TV. IV. Tiimllii.
Delivered in the House of Represent'as of
the Georgia Legislature, on the Eligibility of
- the Negro.
Mr Speaker: Ido not propose to
make a speech : in fact, sir, lam no
apeakiDg mao, bat being regarded as tbr
father of the measure now pending, I
feel that it is duo to my constituency, to
myself, and especially, to those men of
color, that I should give my reasons sos
this very important move. Yes, it is of
mueh greater importance than any that
ever yet came before sdj General As
sembly.
I shall plaea the resolution entirely
upon its own merits, together with tbe
opinion as expressed by Joseph
E , not that good man Joseph that wo
read about in the Holy B'ble, but Jo
seph E. Brown, the areh-traitor, and
now Cheif-Justice of tbe State of Geor
gia. He, the father, as it were, of tbis
Constitution, which I now hold ia mv
hand, and which, as an honest man, I
am sworn to support, and which every
member upon this floor is solemnly
sworn (o adhere to, denies tothese gen
tlemen of color the right t> a seat on
this flior. Common eetise, common ress
sod, tko welfare of tbe black and of the
white raee, require every thinking man
to turn oat. The Constitution of the
S r ate of Georgia say* turn them out. i
The Constitution of the United S ates,
with all its damnable amendments, says,
turn them ont. Therefore, sir, if we
fail to comply with the solmo oaths we
have subscribed to, when this House is
tbe judge of the qualification of its mem- j
bers, by retaining men here who arc
clearly ineligible, we will be held to ac
coud' i >r it by onr constituency and by
our God.
Bir, I am no eoemy to the black man;
lam bis friend. 1 desire to see him
prosper. I desire, sir, that he should
hvve all the privileges to which be is
entitled under tbe Coostitutition, which
be bad aided in making to govern tbe
people of the State of Georgia. There
ft te, if he and t hose Switzerland fellows
have swindled bim out of any right that
in bis indgmeot he ought to enjoy,
blame your leader, Joseph E. Dead, and
don’t blame roe for carrying out in good
faith that which I have sworn to sup
port; and which in my judgment I in
tend to support at all hazards.
Sir, it has been whispered to me that
some colored men here would become
very desperate in the event they were
ousted from their seats. Why should
tbis be true ? Why should they become
enraged at honest men for simply con
forming to that solemn oath which they
have subscribed to, contained in that
Constitution made by thems’lvcs ? VV ho
is responsible for these men of color be
ing deprived of the privilege of b' Iding
office? I ask, who is reeponsibl? Is
it the Democrats? Dib they have any
band in making tbis Constitution which
deprives them of this privilege ? Am I
responsible? Sir, I call upon Georg’ans
to say who is responsible ; I call upon
the black men to say wbo is responsible.
I am prepared, sir, to substantuate, by
the most intelligent members who com
posed that so called Convention, that
CMlt red memlorfl nbmiM not hold r.tTV»p
Therefore, if you were so ignorant that
you did not know that the eight to hold
office waso e >bing, and the right to vote
was a very different thing you certianly
have done great injustice to your breib
ren of color by not election meD who
were capadle of comprehending the
meaning of the various clauses of this
instrument.
You may talk about insurreotion, j
revolution, war, and bloodshed ; you ;
may do ail these things lo intimidate
honest men from a discharge of their
duties, or yon may be in reality : but
let me tell you that it matters not wi'h
me whether you are in reality or not. I
am in earnest, snd‘l am in dead earnest.
May this right arm fall, may my wife
Bnd children forever fbr.-ake me ere I,
in my judgment, should be guilty of a
crime so great as to vote to retain any
man or set of men in their seats here at
the compromise or sacrifice of my oath,
try honor, the honor of my constituency
and especially Georgia’s honor.
Carpet baggers, I call upon you this
evening to repent in sackcloth and ashes
for having deceived these ignorant
creatures, who relied upon you as their
true friends, for swindlidg them out of
the right to hoid office, as you have done
I <n every instance since their freedom,
up here this evening, stand up
ana tell them tbe truth; tell them that
you are ..heir worst enemies; tell them
that tbe Southern men with whom they j
were reared are iheir ouly true and re- j
liable friends* Many colored men sup-;
ported me, and they did it because ihey j
believed that I would give them justice
ns 'heir representative, and they shall
not be deceived. I intend to do justice j
to tbpse colored men, in accordance with
tbe solemn oath which I have here tak-j
en Tuey would not have me degrade !
myselr an” them too, by perjury Ttiey I
shall know that you deprived them of :
tbe light to seata on this floor. The
world shall know who ire res-onsible '
for it. You carpet-baggers shall have i
just retribution lor swindling these men ;
out of rights that you told them j
they wero entitled to. You made a
Constitution depriving them of the right
and you now would place the blame ou
honest men if you would dare attempt
it. but you cannot do it. It is too
plain And if any gentleman denies
tbe proposiiioD, L am prrpa ed now,
right now, to substantiate by Georgians,
wbo tvete members of that so-called
Convention, that they met in caucus
and did there declaro that they wou’d
burst up tbe concern and go borne, uns
less article ten ot tbe section on ft**
chise, of that Convention, was stricken
out—which article gave eolored men the
right to bold office. Dare aoy geutlc
l man deny this proposition ? If so lam
p-ep'ared to make the proof by men un
der i^ o - s o UD d of my voice—men wbo
were wet* o ? rs that Convention, and
who respect .heir wives at.d children too
much to say thaC they would not burst
up the oouoern un!e»* this article ten
was stricken out. It W reconsidered,
thereby leaving Ibe oolorea clearly in
eligible to a seat on thia floor. Now.
who is to blame T These very men who
are your only true friend*, the men you
were raised with, told you they were
enemies to you and your country, and
simply d< sired to give you the right to
vote, so they might forever enjoy some
nice, fat office for themselves.
Georgia ! Georgia 1 You are about to
cast a vote on a question of more vital
importance than any one in which you
were ever called upon to record your
names.
Ido not beleive tbst there is on*
Georgian on either aide of this H mse,
that can with tbe eyes ot those lovely
ladies, the dearest creatures on earth,
now upon them cast tbeir vote, making
them aqnal to tbe negro. Is there a
Georgian on tbit fl >or that can do so ?
If so, let him get up and look those glo
rious orcatares in the gallery in the face.
Georgians, can yon do it? I will ans
wer for you. No, no, you cannot, you
are too honest, you have not so far de
graded yourselves, neither will you. 1
expect carpet-baggers to voto to keep
him here, for thoy know full well that
they would be compelled to "get out of
the wilderness” if tbeyf did not do some
thing to bide their -mischievous swind
ling operation with the negroes.
And now in conclusion, sir, let me
say to yon my colored friends, in all
candor and common boDcstv, to prefer
charges of desertion in your hour of
need, ag&insl carpet-baggers et id omne
genus whom you preferrd -ud whom
you elected to make that Constitu-i >u
which every member npr n this flour has
sworn to support. Fur they illustratrd
to the minds of every intelligent man,
most conclusively, that when artifice,
eva-ions, and false profestiona, had sub
served tbeir purposes they tbeu forfeited
all claim to political honesty, oonsistan
cy aDd stir dealing.
The legal ground having been fully
discussed by sound legal minda, and ably
too, I shall resist from further remarks
at my time has exp red.
Feeling confident that a vote on this
question will b a unanimous by all hon
orable Georgians, I call for the previous
question.

At tbe formal opening of the Uuca
and Sherbourne railway on Wednesday
last a maiuoth dinner was spr ad for
thousands of persons at the lattor plr.ee.
Among the gt»e»u l was Governor Sey
mour, who made the following address :
Fellow-Citizens ’ My friend, Mr.
Lawrence is not only au energetic iuau,
but he is a shrewd man. Many years
ago, as hi has said, it so happened that
I was interested with him in a little en
ierpr.se; but to day, having been invit
ed to atten 1 tbe oppeuing of his railroad
I am reminded how he has out stripped .
me in the race. To-day tha citixcna of
Utica have laid aside their everyday
cares, and discarding political and busi
ness matter, they eome down to tbe Coe
uaogo Valley to exchange congratula
tion-* over the saoceagful prosecution of I
this great enterprise. I suppose we are i
to bear nothing of polities, but every
where on the tont the people were talk
ing aboot the President, andevervbody
seemed to advoeate the cause of Presi
dent Lawrence. Listening to them one
might have supposed that a third party
movement had lately been started.
[Laughter.} It occasions me pleasure,
tellow-oitizms, to have something to
say about the Valley of the Chenango,
I saw it before most of those who ate
here to day, and, meeting to rejoioe over j
our great acheivcment, 1 can assure you
that you have great reason for congrat
ulation. Well you may bo proud of
what you lave done; exultant over tbe
past, and confident of success in the fu
ture. I have heard some disparaging
allusions to the old fashioned stage
coach. That old coach was a fine affair
in its day, and I remember, when a
s’udent at your neighboring village of
Oxtoid, how tbedittcarded vehicle was a
nieaus of locom ttion not to be despised.
T '-day we should remember with grati
tude tbe men of 'hs past. It was their
heroic bravery that, wroght out for us
the advantages which we are oojvappre
ciating and impioving. Let ns remem -
ber them, then, with thankfulness. I
know, better than most of yon, what
abundant occasion you have to be proud
of your ancestors, Os their heroic en
ergy and individuality I cannot speak
at length now, but for sterling manhood
and for vigor of character you have nev
er goue, and never can go, beyond your
lathers. 11 iwdeeply this project con
cerns us you all know, but lime will be
r> quired t- give you aproper appreciation
of us atfvauiages. At my home in Oau
lda ctunty I overlook from my farm
od the sl-pe of the northern hiils the
great m gee which furrouud you here
Oursectim bears marked relationship
to tbe whole coutiuent. The waters
that run iff this range pass by every city
of consequence in the Uni<n, with the
exc-ptiou of Bast n. Delaware and
Cuei-apeak bay receive your waters.
A little west the Alleghany river, as
you know, empties iuto the Ohio river,
and thence passes by Cincinnaui and St.
Louis, emptying iuto Erie and the Golf j
of Me xico. F. rther west, on thi» same 1
range, Like Erie and the Gulf of St.
Lawrence rective yonr waters, and on
the north the Mohawk river, finding its
source tn the other side of tbe slope,
carriei its waters past our capital, and
tbeoce by the n&tiou’s metinpolis to the
ocean. Your relationship to tbis coun
try is such tbaty u bold in your hands
the silver links which are biudmg the
pe pie of America with a boud so close
and sn enduring, that be is no wonder
ful prophet Wbo predicts that we shall
ever be Oue people, acknowledging a
common God and a common country.
Let us than lay deeper and deeper tbe
foundations oi that intelligence that lies
at tee bottom of all such enterprises as
these, aDd uniting with our efforts the
vigor and self denial of our fathers,
we can be sure that this is but the bes
ginning of these enterprises that snail
make our land glorious among tbe na
tions ou earth, and our people prosper

Good Prospects of the Cam
pa*«H.
A correspondent writing from New
York to the 80-ton Post says :
The prospects of victory are im
proving daily. Advicea from the in- j
terior, where all tbe Republican
strength lies, represent utt-r apathy
among the supj>osed supporters of
Grant, and constantly increasing en
thusiasm io the ranks of tbe Dam <Ci A
cy. But as New York is absolutely
certain for Seymour and Blair, it is
not worth while to dwell on the situs
tion here. Pennsylvania and tbe largo
States of the West challenge more at
tention, and it is of these that men
apeak when discussing the prospects
there. Indistiv, Wisconsin, and Mis
souri are reckoned on the Democratic
side hy comfortable majorities, aud late
advices from Illinois give ground for
strong nope that Seymour will cany
that Bute too. New Jersey is as
sound as the dollars we hud in the
Democratic limes ; Connecticut di to;
Maryland is safe for thirty or f rty
thousand ; an t Kentucky wiil give a
] Democratic majority which, if distrib
j uted pro rata among the Radical States
in the West, would give every one of,
them to the Demcracy. California,
too, is believed to ba all right, and !
there is some hope for both Maine and '
New Hampshire. So the sky looks 1
hr ght all around, and the confidence
of the Democracy baa a broad and ,
substantial basis.

B ware how you take the fi et »tep in
Radicalism You know not to what
extreme it will lead you.
There tj ouo man who knew not the
baseness to which be woulddesceud, un
til urged on by mad ambition. Let
him bean example to dtter you. He
was honored by ti'e State wlieu she was
free to bestow honor. He has endeav
ored to place old associates aDd friends
below the level of tbe negro. lie has
done this to protect himself from per
sonal accountabilities and save from con
fiscati in a fortune accumulated during
the red carnival of war He embraced
dishonor, that he might have his politi
cal disabilities rirn-.vcd, and, as a Senas
tor, by the sovereignty of his State at
the so. tstool of her enemies. Yt the
flhicago Convention, be voted lor the
Radical platform, which declared that
Georgia should enter the Union as an
inferior member and not an equal among
sovereigns. Among our enemies, in a
set tpc'-cb, he published his treachery
and boasted of his infamy. Tbe House
of Representatives rebelled against the
damning deed and defeated his arnbi- I
tious schemes, while bis arm was yet '
outstretched for tdcoatorial honors. He |
is now about to cover up his infamy by
wearing tbe mantle of tbe incorruptible I
Lumpkin, who as Chief Justice, seem
ed the fountain from which its pure
streams originated. He hopes that
wrapped in the spotlers ermine of Jus
tice the people will forget the corrup
tion which it covers. Vain hope ! He
CLDnot escape from himself; and the
presonce of that Justice whose he 1
desecrates will he bis constant ao nser.
Promethius, because be stole fire
from Heaven, was chained to tbe cold
Caucasian rock, the vulture piercing its
vitals, the liuks of the lame Lomnian
festering in bis flesh, but upoti tbis mao
who has stoleu the banors of the State,
would I yet fix a yet darker doom.
I would hind bim to the soil which
he has betrayed, and deny him the ref
uge of Us should not fly
hence toother climes, and among other
people forget his misdeeds, llis curse
should be to iivo among the people
whom he has deceived. I would bind
him here among the witnesses to bis in
famy. The w dows whom be has be
trayid—(he orphans whose ancestors he
has dishonored, should miet him in his
daili walks, quicken bis fading memory
and point him out with scorn and loath
ing to the thousands yet unborn. The
graves of our noble dead should be bis
silent accusers, and on each anniversary
of the surrender, I would hare him wan
der alone, apait from all others, in our
Confederate cemeteiios, among the dead
whoso memory ho attempted to dishon
or, and see
“Beautiful feet, with niaideulv tr«»d,
Ofleuugs bring to the gsllaot dead.”
I would have.oi trace the tear of
beaty as it falls and freshens tbe fl >ral
offering on tbe soldiers’ grave, and fe-1 .
that, by all theso weeping and sympa
thizing hearts, he alono, wrtnpcd in the
•oliiude of bis infamy, stood apart, load
ed with infamy, condemned anddispised.
The curec that I would Ecar upon bis
heart attd brand upon bis brow,
would he that he might live--that be
should find do Lethe to bless him wiob
forgetfulness— that as bis life ebbed,
his memory might quickeD, and that he
should be litfked forever with bis accus
ing con ; cicnee.
Lot him feel wbat be is; and what he
will be, and let him remember what be
might have been. It fate has a punish
ment worse than this for the man wbo
sacrificed country for ambition, then let
that fate be bis.
wise man will never rust
out. As long as ho can move or
breathe, he will be doing something
for his neighbor or for posterity. Al
most to tho last hear of his lif', Wash
ington was at work. So were Frank
linn, and Adams, and Young, and
Howard, and Newton. Tbe vigor of
their lives never decayed. No rust
marred their spirits. It is a foolish
idea to suppose we must lie down and
die, because we are old. Who is old ?
Not the man of energy; nor tbe day
laborer in science, an, or benevolence;
but he, only, who sutlers his energies
to waste away, and the springs of life
to become motionless; on whoso band
the hours drag heavily, and to whom
all things wear the garb of gloom
Thera are scores of grey-headed men
we should prefer in any importaot en
terpiise, to those young gentlemen
who feai and tremble at approaching
shadows, and turn | ale at a lion in
their path, a harsh word or a frown.

Democratic Address. — Henry

audience of onr citizens, white and
black, at the Court house, iu tbit city,
on Saturday last, in the delivery of a
Democratic zddre s. We were not per
tr itied, from ' ffice engagement*, to hear

original and attractive speaker, and did
good service for the oauee of Demoe

Henry Gwinn Is a man of fine abili
ties ; writer and speaks foently ; is con
versant with the political question of
tbe day, and is capable of doing much
good daring :be present canvas for the
hoase of his country and of the Booth.
His late speeches in New York set the
Radicals to thinking and Greeley la
writing.
