they ought to have fresh supplies of read!ng/bvery

dial therefore, **tn»w ill this severest horn* of
our Hislress, ^ 0 * * they
have the right to adv" my opinion-*, I have
tleterniineil to forego my own relnelanee
mnl comply with vour request.
The whiles, in ( ieorgia, are largely in die
aseemliint, mnl if they will he linn nml uni-
teil, dit*y eonhl defeat the nefarious scheme
for their ruin mnl humiliation. Hut die tem
per is in our midst, seeking to divide the peo
ple, nml thus to imluee them to take tin*
fearful leap into dm yawning gulf. We me
advised to accept the Sherman Hill, or Con
gress will adopt a more grinding measure,
nnd niioii, thousands of die timid are ready
to offer their arms to receive the fetters ; to
accept it, or Congress will confiscate our
proper!y, and non, thousands, uho love
money more t han live government, are will
ing to hend their necks to tin* ignominious
yoke; to accept it, or we will not he allow-
ed’rcpresentation iu Congrcs**, mid mum,
oftiee-moiigersare ready to drink the hem
lock. I do not-feel the force of these ap
peals to our fears.
Congress will adopt a more grinding mea
sure? What more can that usurping eon-
clave do? lias it not already Woken down
all the const it ulioiutl safeguards, Ihr the pro
tection of nroperty, life and liberty? Ilavo
they not olditerated the sovereignty of the
States? Have they liot destroyed the fed
erative feature of our government?—its
character of cnmpndt between eo-eoital
States, nnd converted it into an unlimited
and irresponsible despotism ?
Lot us glance at the provisions of the
Sherman programme of reconstruction. It
authorises the suspension of the privilege
oftlp* writ of habeas corpus, in the midst of
prolouud peace. It clothes the military
commanders, in their respective districts,
with unlimited judicial powers in the face
of the Constitution, which declares “that
the judicial power of the United States shall
be vested iu one Supreme Court and such in
ferior Courts as Congress tnav, from time
to time, ordain and establish.It author
izes the denial of the “right of a speedy and
public trial by an impartial jury, M by invest
ing the military commander with power to
organize military courts lor the trial of of
fenders. It authorizes any civilian, in flic
ten proscribed States, to be held to utiswer
lor crime upon a mere military order, in di
rect contradiction of the express language
of the Constitution. It authority* searches,
seizures and arrests, without ‘warrant or
■worn accusation, whereas, the Constitution
declares “the right of the people to ho securo
in their persons, papers and effects against
unwarrantable searches and seizures shall
not be violated, mid no warrant shall issue,
but upon probable cause, supported by oath
or affirmation, mid particularly describing
the place to be searelied and the person or
things to he seized.” It authorizes the ab
rogation of all legal process,and substitutes,
ill its stead, the irresponsible order of the
military commander; whereas, the Consti
tution declares that “no person shall be de
prived ot life, liberty or pvopevty, without
due process ol law.” It abrogates, in ten
States, their governments, republican in
form nnd the establishment therein ot inill-
f g •ess should adopt a more rigorous men sure,
* what move vigorous can human wickedness
devise ? Il is threatened that they will add
confiscation. That will lie utterly impossi
ble, if they attempt it under the forms of
law. They may plunder;’they may rob*
they may spoliate, by military power; but
evciy linn of common sense knows, and
•fudge Chase has so decided, that property
i a lino- he legally eon ft scaled until after trial
tin* honor to nc- 1 a, 'd conviction, and lie will be compelled to
I vour leil. r ol* the I decide, whenever the question shall hi* made,
i,,im- o| the 1 th* 1 * nny act of Congress, for that pur|M>sr,
will be uueoustilntional, because “ox pout
facto.” I hit siippo-e the worst—that Con
gress shall attempt t<» confiscate, whom will it
linrt? It will hurt only those who have
properly, nnd wlm are not willing to hold
on to their perishing treasury, at the price
of hotter mid freedom. To such, property
is dust, when weighed iu tin* balance with
]constitutional liberty. Little property is
I left to the true men of the South. Asa gen*
'eraI remark, such men have emerged—/roin_
I the war with nothing left hut poverty and
tary despotisms, although the Constitution
declares that “the Uttitetl States shall guar
antee to every State in the Union, a Repub
lican form of government.” It subverts the
sovereignty of the people of the States, and
denies their reserved rights, although the
Hon, mu) cull for Hie money; for then lie will Iiolil Constitution provide* that “the powers not

with |iower only to pass “uniform .vatl uai.-
i/.ATioN laws.” It disfranchises thousands
ol the best citizens of the South, as a penal
ty for participating in, what Congress is
pleased to term, “tlio rebellion.” It assumes
their guilt without the right of a “public
and speedy trial by an impartial jury,” in
defiance of I lie maxim that “every man is
presumed to he ittnueent until legally con
victed }”and provides the punishment aki ki:
the commission ol the alleged crime, despite
tlie constitutional inhibition against the
passage of “ex post facto” laws. If (’on-
gross l»ad taxed its ingenuity to see how
many and wlmt grievous infractions of tie
Constitution it could compress in the fewest
words, they could have originated nothing
more successful or nefarious than the pro
posed scheme ol reconstruction. They have
outraged overy principle of Magxa Chaim a.
Like Aaron's rod, they have swallowed the
Executive aud Judiciary Departments, and
erected the most odious form of (Jes|K)tisui
upo'n the ruins of a wise, beniflcent, and nice
ly balanced representative republic. Xow,
suppose wo do not accept the Sherman Hill,
as we are sweetly advised to do, lest Cow-
pat riot ism. There are those who were blat
ant lor secession in the beginning, who de
nt mi wed speculation nnd speculators, whilst
they enriched themselves by speculation,
and who arc now willing “to bend the sup
ple hinges of the knee that, thrift, may fol
low fawning.” They may have something
to lose by confiscation; *aud $1 they can
save it, by recreancy to their homes and
hearth-stones, by abandoning those whom
they led into secession, by becoming false to
their race, and by playing the pan-bearers
at the funeral oft he Constitution, he it so,--
Verily, they will reap their retribution iu
the exereratiousol mankind, lint generally
the true men of the South have little to con
fiscate, and that little they are willing to
surrender, it need ho, as a holocaust upon
the smoking altar of their country.
To the suggestion that, if Wo do not ac
cept the proposed scheme of recount ruction
we shall not be allowed representation in
Congress, I am, if nossible. more indiHcreiit.
Who cares for such representation as will he
foisted upon the people under its operation?
They will lie representives in name, but mis
represent ives in fact8. Much as 1 deprecate
military government it is far preferable to
such a government ns will lie probably in-
augiirated under the Sherman programme.
Entertaining those views, I never will up*
prove, consent to, or accept tlio |K)iscne«l
chalice offered to our lips, nor will I advise
my fellow-citizens to do so. If permitted to
vote, in view of the turn of events, I should
register, and I hope every mail in Georgia
who can will do so, with*the view of defeat
ing the scheme for our degradation nnd the
overthrow of republican government.
It cannot fail to strike the mind of every
reflecting man, that thecossHXT ot tlie peo
ple to the proposed phy» of reconstruction is
lesired by the dominant party; for haviug
Attained our consent they will insist that
whntevej is irregular is thereby cured, that,
whatever is unconstitutional is thereby
waived, aud they absolved from their sins.
Then the door of redress, iu every form, will
have been forever closed. Then all future
remonstrance will lie vain, and its voice si
lenced by tl|e retort upon us, that we con
sent oil Io the sehciuc, and that the State
Government aud Constitution, organized in
pursuance of it, arc iu truth} aud fact, the
Government and Constitution adopted by
tlio people. Let its never consent, but hav
ing tin* power, let us see to it that wj reject it.
This we can-do only by registration anti
voting against the proposed convention.
Many gco.I men arc embarressed by tlie
idea that the fact of registration implies con
sent, and will bind them to abide the action
ot the convention. There would bo force in
this, were it not that the Constitution tobu
formed bv the proposed convention, is to be
submitted Jo the people for ratification,
which clearly shown that the more fact of
registering does not carry with it such con
sent, but that it dopends entirely upon the
ratification of the ('onstitution. Registra
tion, therefore, is a necessary step for every
citizen to take iu ordor to put himself in po
sition to com *nt to or dissent from the action
of the convention.
On the other hand, it those opposed to the
scheme refuse to register, is it not plain
that they put themselves, their children, and
the interest of the State, at the mercy of the
Radicals? For, liy so doing, they can vote
against neither the Convention, nor the rati
fication of the Constitution which it shall
frame. Are they willing to this? Will tint,
tlio Radicals const rue their refttsal into an
expression of willingness to abide the action
of those who do register? “Silence gives
consent,” they will say, and our future re
monstrances will bo met by this potent old
maxim. Therefore, let all register nml wield
their ballot to Fave the State from utter
ruin aud degradation. This is the club of
Hercules, by which we can, if united and
true to ourselves, crush this horrid Hydra
that bask in and fattens upon the slime of
Lcrucan lake of Radical corruption.
We aro iu a great struggla for the right of
self-government, which our forefathers in
tended to secure, forever, to the people of
the several States. Wo ask to consent; nay,
it is sought to compel us, by appeals to our
fears to consent to a fundamental change
in our system of government—a change
which must prove fatal. Ifweconsent, our
ruin is inevitable; we can be but ruined if
wo refuse. I prefer tlio latter horn of the
dilemma. We are afloat upon a storm-tossed
sea; in the darkness and fury of the tempest
wo have but one plank—the Constitution.
Let us cling to that, and,if submerged ,let ns
go down grasping it with the desperate en
ergy of death. Property and life are noth
ing without good government. We be
queath to our posterity a heritage of woe,
if we surrender them to the memos of des
potism.
We cannot ssvy_what changes Congress,
now in session, may make, but it is not to
be expected that they will ameliorate pend
ing issues. From the temper which seems
to characterize their deliberations, they
will probably extract from the cup every
