W- B. .O*FOBJ>. sept 28-7 w DAWSON, GA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1871. From the sftlauta New Kra. Speech ol lion. Thomas Har deman, at Oglethorpe Hark, Atlanta, Ga., October lStli, I*7l.- in Earnewt Appeal to Georgians to Ituild tip the Grand Old Commonwealth. Ladies and Gentlemen : At the request of the Exeeutivo Committee of the Atlanta Agricultur al and Industrial Association, I have consented to repeat, in part, an ad dress which I had the honor to deliv er at a recent Fair in Cartersville. I am sure, had I consulted my own feol ings, I could not have complied with this request, and after the exhibition that we have had from this stand, to day, I feel that one must have cour age, indeed, to follow in the wake of the yong orators who have preceeded me. [Applauso.] I say that, had I consulted my own feelings, T would not have been here to-day. 13ut, where so much interest aud so noble a spirit has been manifested by the peo ple of Atlanta in rebuilding her fallen fortunes, and thereby enhancing the interests and prosperity of our State, I think that it is eminently the duty of everyone, when called upon, to aid in her onward march of improvement.— When wo look back at her course and remember her as I have seen her, decked in her bridal robes, and then as we have seen her a widow in her weeds stricken by tlie blast ar, J crush ed by the whirlwind ard the storm, it must he a source of great pleasure and of pride to see her to-day a widow with her weeds thrown off, with the widow’s cap upon her cheek, and the bewitching smile that widows only were more boautiful.by far than when arrayed in her bridal robes. Aud, therefore, I say that when we see such an exhibition of enterprise and of spirit, we can but congratulate our selves, and congratulate our whole people, that there is life in the old State yet. I speak not now of that melancholy existence that characterized the chil dren of Israel when they sat down by the rivers of Babylon and wept, when they remembered Zion, nor of that life of angry repining aud fault-finding sorrow, which was exemplified in the prophet of the tribe of Zebulon when in the morning of his troubles, as ho looked upon the withered gourd that the evening beforo had blessed him with its freshness and its shade, he exclaimed in the bitter accents of a Providence-defying nature: “It is bet ter for me to die than to live but of a life, despite thefl withered palms that overhang every household, despite of captured cities, sacked temples, and ruined fortunes, that is binding its ev ery energy to restore joy to the house hold, plenty to the coffers, independ ence to the people, and honor and po sition to the loved old Commonwealth. [Applause ] A life that sits not griev ing over the fortunes of the past, but looking tearfully at its glory and great ness, shakes the dust of its ruins from its wings, aud pluming them for a loftier, bolder fight, will rest them not until sho has gained that exalted height where, overlooking her former greatness and position, in the fullness of her fortune and her honor, she can sing again the song of Georgia’s “up rising,” Georgia’s greatness, and Geor gia’s glory. Gloomy melancholy, sorrowful brooding, never restored a lost joy, a wasted opportunity, or a broken fortune. Job sat repining over the conflagration of bis property', the loss of his children, and the desolation of his hopes, until his calamities forced him to curse his fate and pray for death ; but this did not restore his herds, his children, his fortune, or his happiness. Darker and darker grew the day of his being, until tbe sun of his hopes set in the night of despair, nor did the morning dawn until, lis tening to the voice of Providence, heard above the roar of the whirlwind, he arose und girded up his loins like a man ready for the duties of life, and the requirements of Ileaveu. Then was it that joy flowed into his bosom —a gladdening stream ; his desolate heart beat with pulsations of strango delight as new sons and daughters sprang up, the pride and solace of his years ; his pastures, long herdless and abandoned, teemed again with in creased flocks and folds; and the old patriarch, in the decline of life, de spite the afflictions of the past, its be reavements and its poverty - , looked out upon a present rich with the posses- | sions ot earth and a future radiant with the promise of a plenteous con-' tentment. Cease, then, ye men of Georgia, to weep over the wrecked for- : tunes of the past. The treo has fall- ' en, so it must lie; yet fx’om its branches the acorn may be gathered that, if planted now, will gTow up a mighty oak, under whose wide spreading shad ow, in coming years, your children can sit and 6ing those good old songs that gladdened the hearts of their fa- j thers and mothers, who will then sleep , in its shade. The waters of plenty are spilled, but the vessel that con tained them are unbroken ; and here in tho wilderness of your desolation are Ilorehs still, which, if struck by the rod of energy will pour fourth gushing streams theorby enabling you | to fill them again to overflowing ; but ! they will remain cold, barren rocks unless tho Moses of the land strike them with the rods of their power.— i The mountains of your State aro rich I with mineral wealth, yet it will remain valueless and profitless unless organ ized labor digs from its bed and con verts it into uses, remunerative to tho laborer, aud beneficial to mankiud.— Your rich valleys, susceptible of a cul ture that would* abundantly repay the toiling husbandman, aro as worthless as so many barren wastes, unless that . husbandman prepares them for the 1 grain, that Providence, in his bounty, will ripen for the harvest. Your no- bio streams will pour their waters to the sea as they did when the rod man hunted their banks, unless accumu lated capital combinos to turn thoso waters into manufacturing u tility, and thus give employment the thous ands unable to plow a furrow or drive a plane. The elements of greatness and independence are yet in Georgia, uud all that is requisite to sec tiro them is determination and effort. Labor is the only talisman of success ; action, will, application are all we need to make Georgia the pride of her sons and the glory of the States. With a soil susceptible of the highest culture, with a climate unsurpassed for salu brity, with a people homogeneous in their wants and necessities, Georgia stands to-day in these respects, with out a peer or a parallel; and she is laggard in the great march of improve ment. Why is it thus written of you, my countrymen ? An* you degener ate sons of illustrious sires ? The same sun that germinated the seed and ri pened the grain for your fathers, blesses you to-day with his warmth and his power. The same seasons that brought that respective blessings for them yet roturn to you, ladeu with their gifts and their offerings. The same earth that yielded them a plen teous support and a rich subsistence, inv.tes you to labor in her fields, whitening still with rich harvest.— The same God that gaveth the sun shine and the shower iu the days of prosperity is yet able to give the in crease iu this, the durk Dour of your existence. Up then, ye men aud wo men of Georgia, and iu the name of all that is bright in the past and hope ful iu the future, with determined will— Slrikoono more blow for Georgia weal ; Strike with the plow the fertile field ; Strike with the factory’u busy wheel; Strike with the miner’* edge of Hteei • Strike with the merchant’* thrifty zeal; Strike oft, strike long, strike all who feel Proud ol her rivers and her riiln; Proud of her valleys and her hills, Proud of the wealth her soil coiicatils, Proud of her graiu and cotton fields, Proud of her varied, fertile soil, Proud of her hardy sous of toll, Proud of her women, her greatest pride* Lovelier here than iu all the world beside, Then will her bonds indeed be riven, Then will new hope, new life, be given To Georgians all, who, where’er they roam. Will point with pride to their dear Georgia home. Educated labor, diversified and di rected, is all that is essential to real ize for your State all that patriot hope can anticipate or patriot heart desire, and for this diversified labor, every in terest in the present and every hope for the futuro, plead and invito the en ergies and enterprise of her sons.— Your streams must be vocalized with tho music of machinery for this. Cher j okee Georgia has water capacity suffi | cient to turn the many spindles for I Lowell, and contiguous to them you | lflve fertile fields fiat 'An supply the i thousands engaged therein, with tho j neces aries of life, creating at the same ! time a home market for the produc ! tion of your soil and a home supply | for tho products of your looms. Here, too, is an inviting field for tho mechan ical arts iu your great natural labora tory cf mineral wealth, whoso inex haustible treasures lure you to-day ; w ith their richness and their value. j One of Georgia’s greatest wauts to- I day is skilled mechanics, not your mere I builders of houses, but your Tubal I Cains, workmen in copper, and brass, and iron, to make your engines and I machinery, your ears, your cultivators —in fine, to work to advantago and profit the ores now lying profitless in i your mountains. She ueeda, as friend Greely says, more shops, more forges, more furnaces, more factories, more school-houses to develop tho latent en ; ergies of her pooplo. Let tho fire of ! your furnaces be seen among your hills and in your valleys, and lot Geor gia artisans, educated in Georgia’s mechanical schools and work-shops, supply your necessities from these fur naces and forges, run by coal obtained ; from your mountains. Let tho hum of the factory be heard above tho roar of your waterfalls, and the song of the happy operative break upon your morning devotions or your cveing qui i et. Let your common schools—sup ! plied with all tho appliancos of educa tion—be brought to the doorways of every citizen of the State; he he hum ble or in high place, and Georgia will have begun in earnest her march to . ward independence and greatness.— Exhaust not your fertile soil in tho j cultivation alone of corn and cotton. — Small grain and tho grasses will provo equally remunerative, for every pound * of clover hay, every sheaf of wheat, and barley, and oats, will ever com mand remunerative pricos in tho mar i kets of the world. Study, my coun trymen, the ennobling art which to day engages your time and your labor, for agriculture, like the mechanic arts, requires pationt study. It is a fatal error to suppose that every man who can plow a furrow, who knows when it is seed-time and harvest, is therefore a farmer. Successful agriculture re • quires educated labor. I speak not simply of the education of theoretical agriculturists, but the practical expe rience, based upon a knowledge of go ology, chemistry and vegetable physi ology, of men who look upon agricult ure, not simply as a great necessity, but as an art coeval with man’s civili zation, and the basis of every art that adorns aud ennobles tho human race. The agriculturist should know the an alysis of his soil, its wants and neces sities ; for old mother earth, liko the human system, has wants, the supply ing of which is essential to her main tenance and support. He should have a correct knowledge of tho properties of mineral, animai and vegetable ma nures, and the best mode of applying them. You would think strange of an accredited physician, who would administer to a patient, without having a diagnosis of his disease, or any knowledge of tho remedies that the case demanded; and yet, with the j same eulpaple ignorance, you often ad minister to tho condition of the soil, without knowing one of its constituent elements, and what remedies are best suited to its requirements and necessi ties. Yes, my countrymen, the pro fessed friends of agriculture and the cultivation of tho soil, you are in many instances the Cassiuses, the Cascas, and Brutuses, that have mortally stabbed the Caesar of your love. And when I look upon “the bleeding piece of earth,” when I hold up the rout mnutle and see whore your daggers pierced, with stricken Antony I ex claim : “/ am no orator, Jiut a* you know me all—a plain, blunt man— For 1 hnva neither wit, nor words, nor Action nor utterance, nor the p »werof speech To atir men’s blood—l only apeak right on. / tell yon tlint which you vouraelvea do know, Show yon aw?** Gftesftr’s wounds, peer, poor dumb mouths. And bid them apeak forme And your miserably wasted fields aro speaking; your gullied hillsides, your scalded hilltops, are speuking; your defective rotation crop system is speaking. The remedies and stim ulants you are ignorantly administer ing to a famished soil are speaking ; your farming area system is speaking ; your defective preparation of soil is speaking ; your dependence upon the products of distant localities is speak ing ; and each and all are speaking in tongues that should move tho very soil u|h)u which you stand to riso and mutiny. [Applause.] Study, my countrymen, the ennobling art of agri culture, which is engaging to-day sev en eights of the people of almost every civilized community on tho globe. Far back in the annals of the ages gone we read of Noah, ,the husbandman, and Abel, sacrificing “ the firstlings of the flock. ’’ Again, we see the Egypt ians iu their admiration ol this Heav en inspired art, “ worshipping tho ox for his services as a laborer ” in tho baru yard, and tho ancient Roman venerating the plow that broke this soil, while Rome’s greatest encomium upon one of her bods was to say ho was a judicous and industrious hus bandman. As it was glorious in the past, so it is eminently honorable in the present—an active instrumentality in building up those moral and indus trial habits whicli give position to gov ernments and permanence to their in stitutions. A thorough knowledgo of agriculture, its wants and require ments, will lead to a well devised sys tem of diversified labor, and this im portant lesson Georgia should learn at once. I,ook at your State to-day, poor and impoverished, not because you have not labored, for no people groaning under adversity have so her oically struggled against misfortune, but because you have labored unwise ly and too much iu ono channel. Learn a lesson, my countrymefi, from those who aro being enriched by your folly. Look at the great West; I and she is great in all tho elements ot : greatness. See her as I have just seen hor, her labor directed in,a thous and channels, and each ono converg ing iu the great ocean of hor prosper ity. She uiukos her own machinery | from her own mineral ores; she makes hor own woolen goods, her own furni ture, her own funning utensils, builds vessels and freights them; largo cities and peoples them with thrifty popula tion, and in addition to all these, fur nishes you, people of Georgia—and I say it to your shame—with your flour aud corn, your bacon and your mules, that you may raise cotton to enable you to purchase again the products of her labor. AU these you cun do for yourselves. You have the minerals and the coal sleeping iu your moun tains ; you have the water power at your very doors ; you have the forest in all its native growth and beauty, and you have a soil peculiarly adapted to the wants and necessities of your State. Awaken, then, to tho impoit ance of living at homo and supplying yourselves. Then will success bright en the horizen of your present, and hope gild her heaven with tho radiant splendors of your future. lam an xious to see the day again iu my old State when our farmers will get their meat out of their own smoke houses ; when tho ox will know his owner and the ass his master’s crib, for I assure your if this latter animal could speak, Balaam’s of old, it would bo in denunciation of your present mode of farming, and your uncharitable prac tice of forcing him to earn a substance by grazing with Nebuchadiiezza in tho scanty grass fields of the country Aye, say you, those are stubborn truths ; but our labor Aias been taken from us, and we are unaccustomed to menial service. Where aro the hands the God of Nature gave you, and tho determined will that characterized your fathers 'i Yes, say you, we have the will, we acknowledge the necessity; but then labor is degrading and toil the burden of a curse. Fata), delusion, miserable subterfuge for indolent pride ! Labor is not a curse attend* aut upon Adam’s fall. God did not intend in creating man that he should sit an idler admirer of Eden’s beauties, for he was enjoined to labor in that gardeß, to “ keep and to dress it. ” No briars or brambles were to grow among its buds and blossoms—no foul weeds among the plants that were un folding lor him their beauty and their loveliness. Creative agency the very day man was located in Eden—its I trees untouched by blight, its groves redolent with the perfume of flowers, and sighing through their branches the sweet music of l’uradiso, with plenty above and arouud them —en joined him the duty, hence the digni i tv, of labor. Read, then, my country* j men, in the very preface of your be- I ing, tho assurance of divine will that I you labor in the sphere assigned you. II know it grates harshly upon the ear of aristocratic refinement and weuithy indolence to assure them that labor is a heaven enjoined duty, but there is the record and the deoroo, and he or she who would mar the one or efface the other should bo forced to glean with Ruth in the barley field, or grind corn with Samson iu the prison house. Over sensitive young man, ashamed to bo seen at tho plough or tho bench. ! Vain young lady, unwilling to nek knowledgo you can sew or cook ! Go road the history ot tho first laborer up on record. It was the Almighty God head, tho groat I uiu : “In the bo ginning God created tho heavens aud the earth. ” Tho very first lino in oreatiou’s history evidences the labor of Ilis hands. Nor did he rest there from until he made the firmament from tho midst ot the waters, set tho hills upon their everlasting founda tions, ffxod the sun and the moon in their spheres in the heavens, created earth, and placed man in dominion over it. Then, but not until then, did he rest from the works He had made. Nor was ho ashamed of the labor cf Ilis hands; for iu the fullness of His exultation lie pronounced it good. Away, then, with the idea that labor is degrading, and toil unmanly. Sweat of the brow and labor of the brain are tho great talismen of success in every vocation of life. Work ! It is tho rod that strikes tho noreb of all honor, of all distinction, of all success. Wealth smiles iu its coffers, plenty crowns its board, peace broods over its alters, while glory wreathes it with the lade loss flowers of immortality. Honest toil dignifies character, en nobles nature, reiiues poverty, elevates tuan. By it Galliloo wove lor himself a chaplet of stars, and Herschel wreathed his brow with a coronet bright as the satellite he discovered. By it Fulton ascended on wings of steam the rugged eminence of worldly Yenown, and Morso with electric rapid idy transmitted his name to the com ing generations. By it the golden gates of succoss aro unbared, and tlve avenues are open to thoso inviting heights, where wealth, and honor, aud fame await tho successful comers with chaplets and crowns. Labor, then my countrymen, educated and diversified, will soon show its beneficial results in increased intelligence, accumulated wealth aud universal prosperity. Aro you too poor to effect, these grand re sults ? Invite tho labor and the capi tal from tho North and South, the East and the West, to come in your midst. Give all who thus come among you, bearing in their hands tho olive branch of peace, a hearty welcome and a God speed in their efforts to aid you in building up the material prosperity of the State, so that sho may stand a ie >r among her sisters—an equal among them ail. An it will not be long be ore joy will kindle in the sky of your being, and prosperity gladden your hearts with the fullne. h ol its treasures. Work —well-directed labor —is tho key that will unlock to us the treasures we desire. Fathers, teach your sons that industry is the parent of every virtue, idleness tho mother of evory vice. Teach them that David, the shepherd, was as honored as was David the King. Impress upon them that Paul, tho teut-maker, w as esteemed eminently fit to become an ambassador of Christ, and a spokesman of Heaven. Teach them that Franklin, at his printing press, Cincinnattus, at his plough, were nobler specimens of true manhood than nre the fashionable gen try of this day, whoso gloved hands administered to a family s necessity, and wl ose brains never originated a thought that elevated themselves or benefitted society. Young men, to y; u, upon whom rests the future of your State, her po sition, her honor, and her glory, I ap peal to-day. You must be the pio neers in hor great march of improve ment. Bowed down with the misfor tunes of tho past, you can bring to tho discharge of your duties firm re solvos, resolute wills, manly hearts.—• Be not ashamed of tbe work before you. Georgia calls, you must obey, and in the field and the work shop, at the bench or the bar, in the labratory or in the forum, s' ow by your perse verance, your intelligence and your will, that her 6ons are equal to the du ties of the hour and tho necessities of the State. Think not you aro fulfill ing your duty or your destiny. 4 >Tlhmi you rtHO, tic on your neckcloth, with skill it mi with ease •* Kor youH£ im ii, when they go out iu the world, if you pleuM*, Must have their necks tied there ia uot a doubt of it— Almost aa tight aa stun*’ men who go out of it.

Economy now is wealth, and you, my fuir countrywomen, whoso sacrifices iu war wore on’y equalled by a patriotism pure as raiu drops from virgin clouds, must present sacrifice, upon tho altar of duty, your fashiona ble follios and costly extravagances.— Do your duty, young man—young wo man—in this, tho hour of your State’s necessity, and the historian, eatchin" - the inspiration of a rural bal'd, can ex claim : '•ln rnln f«lr Georgia wtopulifr tleurrt plains, bln- moves her enry, wlm no w. 11 eumplntus. /n mill lien wer’n oppression inlet her low, She wcurs lhe gir-hind on her fnded brow. Amid her bowers the eonqurrers hand Is wen, And desolstioii saddens all her green, Hut blessed witli these, of mttive strength pos sessed, Tliough very poor, we still are very blest.” Cheerful home duties will create home pleasures and home comforts; and thus our children will become at tached to the sjKit whore their infant eyes first saw the sunlight and their infant ears caught the first notes of nature’s minstrelsy. To accomplish this mako home beautiful and lovely. Adorn the old homestead wit l ' fruits and flowers, and you will attach them to tho old walks of their fathers, and implant in their bosoms a desire to be buried in the shadows of tho trees that surrounded the dear old homestead.— Thus you will have settled population upon your soil—a population that, looking to their present surroundings as their homes in the future, will, both for con fort and emolument, improve, beautify, and adorn them. No State can permanently prosper whose popu lation has no fixed abode—no “abiding home.” Georgians, why leave your own to link your destinies with anoth er State ? Has any other fairer skies, more salubrious climate, lovlier valleys, richor mountains, nobler forests, or lovlier wo.nun than your own native Stato ? Here lio the bones of your fa thers and your nr others ; abandon them ni t. Here, too, aro lying. Upon the ensanguined battle fields of your State—from Missionary Ridgo to their humble graves among the flow ers of our Southern coast, they are ly ing, and from thoir patriot graves c mos tho eloquent appeal, stamped with the earnest of tiro noble dead, abandon not the State honored with our dust and immortalized by our deeds. Listening to that patriotic ap peal to day. let us, Georgians, bury the animosities of tho past, and link ing our shields together, strike ono mure blow for Georgia’s prosperity and Georgia’s glory. Working men of tho State, laborers in her fields, her workshops and her factories, upon you hang our hopes for prosperity and independence. You are the Atlas up on whose shoulders rest tho preseut and the future of your State. Be not discouraged at the bereavements of tho past, or tho forebodings of the fu ture. Tho night is dark, but through its mantling gloom a feeble star sends forth a glimmering ray. It is the stut - of duty. Follow it, it may prove tho Bethlehem of your deliverance. Borrowing au illustration from nu em inent Diviuc, "1/st, this, my country men, be Israel’s last night iu Egypt.” Prepare the pusriiul lamb; sprinkle the blood upon tho lintels and tho door jK/sts, nn l with sandals on your foet und staff in hand, begin your march from this land of bondage aud of slavery. The perils of tho wilder ness, its lengthening gloom, its dark shadows, its threatening dangers, may lie before you ; but if you are tiue to yourselves, true to your fathers, who have goue before you, true to old State, you too shall commemorate your exo dus from tho ovil that threatened you, and sing in the fullness of your joy, your “passover song ol’ deliverance.” Then, my countrymen, amid the green fields and rich pastures of your Canaan, wbero, in plenteous contentment, fi nancial independence, and intellectual wealth and social refinement, you shall dwell in fellowship und in peace with the children of your love, may exclaim, with feelings of triumph at pride, ‘This is my State, whose power is heralded from her mountains, aud whose great ness is echoed from hor valleys aud hills J [Applause.] Wayside Gallieriugs.
