<: ON ST I T UTIONALIST. AUGUSTA. GA. WEDNESDAY MOIiNINQ.NOY.iI, 1868 INDUSTBIOUS YOUNG MEN THE HOPE OF THE SOUTH. The glory, the honor and prosperity of the South are not in the hands of old politi cians ; they are in the keeping of the young men who, as they prove industrious or in dolent, great shall be their reward or ter rible their punishment. What the South most urgently requires at this supreme hour of her destiny is a splendid array of hard working, sober, stalwart and enter prising youths. She has no need of drones, and the market for merely professional in dividuals is already overstocked. Young men who live in the country should resist the temptation of clerkships in the city, and learn that a more notable duty is be fore them where they are. They will be happier, more healthy, more surely on the road to wealth by conquering the glebe than by loitering in towns and frittering their lives away over protracted searches for a paradise in dry goods or a heav en in groceries. Man must live by mind or muscle. True there is another manner of killing time, the ignoble art of living upon the toil of others. We Will suppose, however, that few are in this cate gory, and all anxious to labor in some way for the common weal. Granting this, l«t those who have an unmistakable calling for intellectual pursuits hearken to the voice of God and light their way through the crowd ed ranks of lawyers, doctors, teachers, ministers, etc. But for the mauy, whose chief reliance is in their glorious strength of body, let them compel the soil to yield its fruits, the forest its stores. Let them put their hands to the plow', if agriculture invites them ; let them enter the machine shop if mechanics allure; let them, with a sturdy pride of independence, grapple with the duty so plainly set for them to do and bless the South with a race of Workers which will be worth all the political acro bats that ever were or ever shall be. Many of the best young men that ever trod the earth have already commenced this splen did task of rescuing and building up their States by personal labor. But many re main to whom the mere contact of an im plement of trade or agriculture is conceived to be a shame. Nay, the shame is not in labor. The shame Is rather with him who eats idle bread in scorn of honest toil. Men who distinguished themselves in the army and navy of the South have not been ashamed to drive the team a-fleld or pei> form services which these dainty boys imagine menial. The other day, we read how that noble old hero Admiral Buchan an, with shattered limbs and weighed down with seventy years of strife and suffering, had been “ working himself almost to death in order to support his fam ily.” There is not a sovereign or prince in Europe who is not taught some useful trade, and many a one who sported with crowns has blessed the day he learned some craft which became Ills loyal servitor when the pimps of power left him. In the face ol these fa< ts, are we to be told that South ern boys are too proud to work ? Are there any parents sufficiently imbecile to uphold them in this false estimate of their dignity and self importance? We hope not; but if there be such, wo to them and to their chil dren ! They are invoking curses instead of benedictions; they are consummating a ruin for the South wlnctT even the Yankee was powerless to inflict. The young men who work now are bound to be the lords of the future and the rulers of the land. No matter how low ly, industry will ennoble them and their progeny will own the seats of domination. Iu the same ratio, the idle and timid will sink lower and lower as the years progress, and the traditions of their aristocratic line age will not save them from decrepitude and final extinction. The better a man is born the more is he called upon to give proof that he is superior to the bones of his ancestors and worthy of his gentle blood. There is no excuse for him if he fails to outstrip those who have to battle against adverse fate and social ostracism. He ought to blush if the race be won by the tortoise, while he is so swift and nimble a hare. Georgia has this day, at work in the fields, many a youngster whom she will in the future delight to honor with her choicest gifts. We have heard of several whose example is worthy of public commendation. The latest illustrations brought to our knowledge are these: Amos Norris, of Warren Cos., with one plow and a horse, cultivated, this season, eleven acres of land in cotton and eighteen acres in corn. The land was of the poorest, ami yet he made five bales of cotton and one hundred bushels of corn. Not only did he cultivate this crop without assistance, but, unaided and alone, packed the cotton and harvested the corn. Adam Todd, of the same county, with buttrifling assistance, made jive bales of cot ton on nine acres of land, and two hundred bushels of corn on eighteen acres. His land "was a little better than that of Norris. Well done, both of you ! Instead being asnamed of your labor, let there l>e, hence forth, a glow of manly pride on your brows. Let the success of this one experiment move you to greater exertions in the time to come. If to this spirit of industry yon ally sobriety of life, you need not fear for your children’s or your own destiny. When the Norrises and Todds shall be multiplied a thousand-fold, Georgia W'ill look down on New England and start on a path of empire which the most fervid fancy can but inadequately portray. The Opposing Forces. —Gen. Grant probably represents the Conservative wing of Radicalism; Colfax the ultra. Wen dell Phillips is the oracle of the latter; the Springfield Republican of the former.— To show the points of divergence and the irreconcilable differences of these opposing forces of the same party, we publish, in another column, the latest pronunciamento of Mr. Phillips and the counter-blast of the Springfield Republican. Those who are carious about the political problems of the new era will find much to interest them in these extraordinary outgivings. Cute, but Pious. —The “ Veteran Ob server ” of the New York Times says “ the removal of the black race from Africa to America was a fraud upon Nature, and in time Nature will vindicate her rights.” Since the Radical party has now full swing, why not help Nature in the vindica tion by atoning for the fraud—why not re mote the African? The fact is, our hu manitarian friends expect to remove the ne groes without cost of transportation and without the possibility of a return. The next census will show the deadly processes of the ballot. The mole is forced to face the sunlight. Alas, for the mole! Blotting Out. —The Baltimore Sun says: “ How systematically the plan lor blotting out Poland is pursued may be judged froig the curious action taken lately with regard tUe Museum of Wilna. Every object wl(idW remind people of the Polish dominion *fjo be immediately removed from’the museutnlpd to be transported forthwith to Moscow, there to be incorporated in tbe Rumjanzow Museum. Colfax has another method of blotting out “rebellion.” . He would send barrel organs and Yankee songsters over the South to twang such balderdash as “ Down with the traitors and up with the stars,” Those preparations for extinguishing na tional memories have been tried before, but never successfully. Noble spirits are like some stubborn plants, the more you trample them the more vigorously they grow. What a strange coincidence that Euro pean tyrants and Republican demagogues adopt similar plans for vindictive purposes. How strange that despotism seldom essays the easy mode of subduing angry revolt— the trial of a little generosity. * 4 » »- Nicf. Distinctions. —Henry Ward Beecher shows, after a fashion, that the Reconstruction Acts are “ outside of" but ‘‘ not contrary to" the Constitution. Ben nett, of the Herald, beats Beecher. Hear this: “ Now, we will grant that these acts of Con gress iu the matter of reconstructing the South are illiberal , unjust and despotic that they ore unchristian, outrageous and atrocious, and could only have been conceived in a sanhedrim where the devil officiated as chief. Yet, we cannot re yard them as unconstitutional, aud hence not null aud void.” If this proposition be granted, let us burn this miserable Constitution which permits deviltry and consecrates a lie. What a pity we did not know of this be fore ! How many lives have been wasted, how many hearts broken, how much treas ure squandered—all for a parchment which Radicalism lias indeed made a “covenant with death and a bargain with hell?” O, Beecher ! O, Bennett ! When Colfax makes anew heaven, amid the fiery con stellations ye shall shine as the lurid Ge mini. The Next House of Representatives. —The next House of Representatives ought to have, at least, eighty-eight Democratic members. Judging the future by the past, it is quite safe to assume that defeated Rad icals, in many instances, will be permitted to unseat lawfully elected Democrats. The Radicals will do it and the country will stand it. We wonder what amount of ras cality, fraud or despotism could stir the people of the United States from their slavish submission to a Congressional Jun ta? r Magnanimous ! Sublime !—Minnesota lias graciously permitted the negro to have the favor of suffrage. There are just fifty negroes entitled to it iu all Minnesota. We call that handsome; it is almost godlike. What Next? WENDELL PHILLIPS READS A WARNING LECTURE TO GEN. GRANT. Wendell Phillips (“ the man who supplies the Republican party with brains ”) thus, in his Anti-slavery Standard of this week, notifies General Grant what lie must and must not do in order to “ carry on the Gov ernment Abolitionists and all earnest Radicals are now summoned to address themselves to the work which is yet to be accomplished. It has become very apparent, through what has transpired in Georgia and elsewhere, that, the reconstruction laws require careful revision and perfecting in sundry particu lars. The negroes and loyal whites of the South greatly need the means of self-de fense. The question of confiscation, especi ally with reference to the large amount of land fraudulently conveyed from the pos session of the United States Government to the hands of rebels, should bo at once con sidered, in the interest of the landless blacks, to whom, by virtue of their past unrequited toil, the soil rightfully belongs. A system of national education which shall bo comprehensive, and at least co-extensive with the extension of the ballot, should early be inaugurated by Congress. The measure of primary importance now to be promptly initiated and adopted on the re-assembling of Congress is an addi tional amendment to the Constitution for bidding disfranchisement or proscription from official trust on account of race or color in any State or Territory of the Union. Such an amendment, if adopted promptly by Congress and submitted to the Legisla tures of the several States, would, without doubt, now be ratified by the requisite num ber. It is urgently demanded to guarantee the ballot to Southern colored men, and to enfranchise many thousands in the Border and Northern States. This measure should not be postponed for the consideration of the Forty-first Congress, but should he promptly acted upon and adopted by the Fortieth. Let us have peace” has been many times reiterated during the campaign just closed. One danger before us is the assumption that the fact of Grant’s election in itself will insure “ peace” at the South. Abolitionists ami those who have studied attentively Southern society know better than this. While Southern Legislatures are permitted to perpetrate such high-handed outrages as the lawless expulsion of colored members, as in Georgia, without due punishment; if rebels are permitted to take seats in the House of Representatives who came from districts wherein colored and white Repub licans were practically excluded from the polls, “peace” cannot be realized. The negro is still the bone of contention, and until his manhood and political equality is everywhere recognized he will continue to be a disturbing element in our politics. Smarting under their political discomfit ure, the Ku-Klux will still hold sway, es pecially if the'r treasonable chief is per mitted to remain in the White House till the 4th of March next. With the triumph ant re-election of Gen. Butler, and the well-known desire of most of the new Southern members for the revival of the measure, we have strong hopes of the suc cessful consummation of the impeachment and deposition of Johnson by the begin ning of the new year. With Wade even two months in the White House, and such tools of treasou as Rousseau, Steedman and‘Company, of New Orleans, replaced by Sheridan and other trustworthy, loyal men; with the recon struction laws properly revised and amend ed ; with suffrage and the right to hold office vouchsafed to the negro everywhere, the nation may be well on the way towards “peace,” having secured its essential con ditions, before Gr ant is inaugurated. While deliberate and organized injustice to the negro is perpetuated, the “irrepressible con flict” will continue, no matter who may be President. “Let us have peace,” then by promptly doing those things which make for peace. The new era which opens before us, with the significant defeat of the slaveholders and their apologists on Tuesday, is full of interest to Abolitionists and conscientious Radicals, to whom the national conflict means something more than a mere parti san strife, to end with election day. Our many triumphs of the past have been _won under circumstances of adverse opposition much more formidable than anything we are likely to have to encounter in the near future. Opposition, we are undoubtedly to have, but now, as hitherto, logic and right are on our side. We have but to press urgently and perseveringly our demand, and our past successes are a guarantee of ultimate complete triumph. The Times, the Post, the Herald, and the “ Conservatives ” for whom they speak, already exultant at what they deem the eclipse of Radicalism, reckon without their host in supposing it to be within the power of General Grant, if, as they allege, it to be his disposition, to materially obstruct the progress of Radical reformation in national politics. If the Re publican party consents to be the instru ment of that benifleent reformation all will be well with both the party and the coun try* If it refuses it will only be worse for ; the party. There is no halfway house for permanent lodgement between slavery and genuine Republicanism. The only truly formidable opponfcit»>he Abolitionists ever had were the braifc. Jmamnions of the slave system while theii^p ower J vas co-extensive with the nation and thens leadership ac knowledged North and South. Their day is over. The earnest Radical/* are the posi tive force in the new order of things. The tendency of this century is to Universal Radical Republicanism. / PER CONTRA, THE SPRINGFIELD REPUBLICAN READS A LESSON TO THE RADICAL PARTY. [ From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, Nov. 4. The result of the election yesterday, though it was all the Republicans could have asked, was not a triumph of the Re publican party as a distinctive organization. * * * And if the victory was not achiev ed by the Republican party, as a political organization, in its own strength and by the prestige of its name, no more does it give that party, as an organization, anew lease of power. * * * The result of the election does not indicate a popular ap proval even of the general policy of Con gress. The election was carried in spite of the policy. Had that simple issue been presented, we very much fear every one of the four Middle States would have pro nounced against it. * * * It may seem crabbed and cross grained, iu the first rejoicings over the vic tory, to thrust forward such considerations. But it was never of more importance that the true meaning of the country should be understood. Congress may assemble in a few days under the emergency created by the carnival of crime at the South. At the longest it will meet in a few weeks. Upon its temper depends very much. Represent atives have before this shown a strange facility, or fatality, in misapprehending the wishes of the people. They must not do so now. If they imagine that the elections are a token of particular admiration for them ; if they think they can begin again just where they left off last April, alarmed at the populaUdiscontent and the increas ing danger of losing the election ; if they allow themselves to be persuaded that, now the campaign is it will do to take the screws off the expenditures, they make a great mistake. They will not get off so easily the next time. * * * That party is dead and* gone, and even its name is likely to perish. There is cer tain to be a recast of the political elements, according to the new and live issues ; and, now, if the leaders and managers of the Republican party—the men who live by it aud think they own it—wish to keep it in the control of the Government, they must make it attractive for those who look to honesty, integrity and efficiency In admin istration. It is not difficult to gather the sentiments of the men who have turned the scale this time in favor of the Republican party, and who must be looked after to keep it in power. Iu voting to sustain the reconstruction acts against the mad de signs of the reactionists, they have not de cided against a change in those acts, but quite the contrary. They desire ail amelio ration of them in their most offensive fea tures. The disfranchisement of any class, or the exclusion of any State, for acts done in the rebellion, never wise, has grown to be sim ply stupid. The limited disfranchisement imposed has done harm, and only harm. It has not assured the control of a simile State in loyal hands. It has lifted the disfran chised into undue and unsafe importance, aud given them a title of respect among their fellow-citizens. Towards the General Government it has simply served to annoy and exasperate all classes, and make vio lence and negro intimidation seem some thing like fair reprisal. Unqualified negro suffrage is another feature that will not bear examination, and must eventually be modified ; but the circumstances of the sit uation are so difficult and peculiar that an immediace change is pot practicable. All that can be done hereafter—all, indeed, that is desirable to be done—is to introduce throughout the country an educational test, impartial with respect to color and sex, by which the suffrage will be limited to per sons of some intelligence, whether black, white, red or yellow. But it is in matters of revenue and ex penditure that the sense of tho country is most positive, and )»'■ resolution taken. — * * * \Ye cannot go on as wo are. The country is losing strength too fast, and the poor are becoming too thoroughly impov erished. Whether rightly or wrongly, the people will accuse the party in power of those evils, the cause of which i hey may not see, but the effects of which they most bitterly feel. Mr. Seymour was right—the financial issue is to be pressed; and the Re publican party roust meet it with courage and intelligence. Beast Butler Makes a Speech. he threatens the soutii'with his ven . GEANCE. Butler made a speech at Lowell, Massa chusetts, on Thursday evening. He said lie had triumphed under the motto of equality to all men, and their rights under the law, by using freedom’s great weapon, the bal lot. He hailed the glorious triumph of Re publican principles throughout the land, and believed it would bring peace and pros perity. We shall not long have murder after murder and riot after riot. Look at New Orleans, from which we have reported 25,000 for Seymour and 276 for Grant. — There was a time, he remembered, when the people of that city behaved better. [Ap plause.] He felt confident that such a time would come once more. Several Southern States have voted for Seymour or are in doubt, because men’s lives were threatened if they attempted to vote. When Congress meets, as it will in a short time, it will be our purpose to find a remedy for this state of things, and if Johnson does not second our efforts, though it may be late in the day. wc will try to provide for him. [Applause.] If the Republican party is true to the great Democratic principles of Jefferson and others, it will hold the Government for a generation to come. We must be true to the doctrine of equality, and trust in the virtue and integrity of the great mass of the people, rather than to any member selected from among them. Let us pledge ourselves, as the party in power, with a renewed lease, that >ve will aid in carrying out the princi ples under which we triumphed. butlf.r’s triumph. [From the Springfield (Mass ) Republican. This victory of Butler’s, brilliant as it will anpear to him, has cost him a deal more than the money he has paid out. He has gained his election but has lost his prestige. The thousands of his majority will not make up for the serious and deter mined hostility of the myriads of good Re publicans all over the country who came out against him, and the still larger num ber who supported him with a reservation and under protest. He will go into the next Congress—nay, into the next session —with the certainty that Grant and his advisers, and all the better-leaders of liis party, have lost the little confidence they ever had in him. His success at the polls will increase rather than lessen their dis trust of him. He will find it harder than ever to carry a measure in Congress—-far harder, nay, impossible, to smuggle through fictitious claims in the committee room, and enrich his frieuds with the pub lic plunder. In Massachusetts he will be formidable, because he has got his foot on the necks of the political leaders, but that will not last long; while outside the State lie will be powerless, until he repays his Democratic friends who gave him such a heavy vote, by joiuing their party aud mak ing open war upon Grant, as he is likely to do at the first opportunity. A Flea Bite.— Heroic men 1 The Radicals of lowa have voted to strike the word white out of their State constitution ; and the Tribune thanks God for their valor. The Tribune thanks God on small provocation. In an aggregate population of 074,913, lowa by the last census contained exactly 500 colored male Americans of African descent, not enough, if every man of them were a barber, and every barber as clever as Olivier le Dain, to shave one-thirtieth part of the malts white citizens of lowa on a bright Sunday morning. But Ohio, with 36,673 color ed denizens out of 2,339,511, has just voted that colored persons shall not vote by a majority greater than its whole colored population. We commend to the Tribune a free version of the old Horatian maxim: “ Don’t ckll in the gods to heal a flea-bite.” General Hood is doing a good business as a commission merchant in Mew Orleans, Georgia State Lottery FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE M asonic Orphan’s Home.
