Tri-Weekly Republican,
Americus, Georgia:
AN COCK,
Editor and Proprietor.
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1806.
Do not Despair.
Why all this impenetrable gloom
now pervading the public miud? It
is flightful to contemplate. No man
seems to feel secure either in person
or property. All arc looking forward
to the certain and speedy prospect
of ruin, and no logic—no array of
facts, and no appeals to reason, can
arrest the fearful anticipations of a
disastrous future. Men meet each oth
er on the streets and on the highways,
and mutter out some dismal and aw
ful calamity which is rapidly! loom
ing up, and they shake their heads and
shrug their shoulders and look as omi
nous as if they were peering into some
dark jungle of ferocious animals ! We
tell yon, that you are very much like
the little boy at the grave-yard who,
at ever}' step, confidently expects to
meet with a ghost! lon are looking
for ghosts when, of course, there arc
none. Your troubles are more imagi
nary than real. Your brain is disturb
ed. Your nervous system is out of
order. You arc in need of an active
opiate of some sort, and the sooner
you quiet down the better. And the
best possible remedy for your disease,
is, to take a heavy dose of hard icork,
either at the plow, the axe, the hoe,
or some other active business, so as to
bring the system under the influence
of an old fashioned sioeat , and our
word for it, if there is not a prompt
re-action and a speedy return to vig
orous health. But so long as you go
about with your face elongated, and
look as if you had lost the last friend
you ever had, and brood over imagi
nary misfortunes, you will certainly
be frightened to death by nightmares
and hobgoblins. Work, is what we
all need. There is too much idleness
in the land. Micawber like, we are
expecting something to turnup! —
Launch out young man. Do not be a
sluggard. It is unmanly to say you
can't do anything! Never mind the
Radicals. Go ahead, make all you
can and trust to Providence!
Disgruntled-
The Sumter Republican is somewhat
troubled at our recent notice of its top
loftical and irreverent panegyrics up
on certain clergymen of the Georgia
Conference, and indulges in some per
sonalities against us, which are irrela
vent to the subject at hand. Take
your Bible, Charley, and “ search the
Scriptures ” from Genesis to Revela
tions, and when you find a single pas
sage which says that the reconciliation
of the Gospel had for its object the
reconciling of God to the world, in
stead of the world to God, then wc
will become a convert to your faith,
and give up our “ universal system"
as you call it.— Ga. Git.
“ Disgruntled, ”Eu ! That may
be so, Doctor. We confess you have
a happy art of disgruntliny folks !
Bdt, dear Doctor, we do not see
the necessity that you should disgrun
tle us any more. We acknowledge the
corn and own up, and there we will
stop the disgruntling process. We
hope you will be “ reconciled ” to this
arrangement.
The Price or Cotton. —A good au
thority estimates the want of the
world at 5,500,000 bales. Putting
down for the South 2,000,000 bales—
which is above the mark —the East In
dies for 600,000 ; Egypt for 800,000 ;
and Brazil for 130,000 bales, gives a
supply of 3,030,000 bales. Setting
the stocks on hand at the beginning
of the year against the stocks that
will be on hand at the close, we have
then a deficiency of 2,000,000 bales.
The price of cotton must advance, and
it will probably advance more in pro
portion than the lack of supply would
seem at first sight to require. It is
considered erroneous, says the Mail,
to suppose that the price of an article
of consumption advances in the pro
portion that the supply recedes. If
the supply of flour, for instance, were
to diminish one-half the effect would
be to raise the price more than double.
Some think it more fair to presume
that it would be quadrupled in mar
ket vilue. lie that as it may, cotton
must advance, provided the currency
remains as it is.
The banker Prince Talonia, gave
the Bologna Cathedral an altar valued
at $200,000. This is the same banker
who presented a fine bell to the Catho
lic cathedral at Natchez, Miss., some
years ago.
“My friend how long have you been
married?” said a Yankee to a young
German, “Yel, dis is a ting vot I
seldom don’t like to talk about, but
veu I dses, it seems so long as never
was.”
THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE*
[rroin the Daily Telegraph.)
SENATE.
Mii.ledokville, Dec. 14, 1866.
The Senate met at ffj o’clock, a. in.,
and was opened with prayer by Itev.
Mr. Yarbrough.
The Governor sent in his veto to
bills to extend the aid of the State
to the Savannah, Griffin and North
Alabama Railroad, and to the Exemp
tion bill.
The former bill failed to receive a
constitutional majority of yeas 19,
nays 5.
The bill to allow the redemption
of real estate within two years after
sale, which had been vetoed, also
failed to receive a constitutional ma
jority.
The usual complimentary resolu
tions were passed to the President
and officers of the Senate.
President Gibson then delivered
the following address, after which he
announced the Senate adjourned sine
die.
CLOSING SPEECH OP MU. GIBSON, PRESI
DENT OF TIIE SENATE.
The duties for which we assembled
having been discharged, we must ad
journ and return to our homes. May
a cordial and hearty and affectionate
“ welcome home”, soon greet you all.
I tender you my greatful acknowledg
ments for the respect, liberality and
kindness you have extended me as
your presiding officer, and I can highly
commend your respectful and courte
ous bearing, in all matters toward
each other. If your labors shall pro
mote the interest, prosperity and wel
fare of the people of Georgia, your
greatest ambition will be satisfied;
yet poor frail humanity, with all its
tendencies to err being the destiny of
all, may we not trustingly appeal to
a noble, generous and magnanimous
constituency to pardon our faults and
shortcomings.
The functions of State Government
so magnanimously bestowed by that
far-seeing statesman, your noble and
generous President, may be taken from
us ; we may be made as helpless as in
fancy itself; yet, trusting to that
same Eternal Spirit that protected
the babe born in the manger, we, too,
may be safely conducted from the rod
of llerod. The voice of truth and rea
son cannot always be kc>pt silent. If
we have not greatly misapprehended
the character and the nature of the
Government of the United States, no
State or individuals can be made to
depend upon the capricious and arbit
rary will of Legislators. Vile arts
may be used to defame and blacken
the purest and best characters. Soph
istry may evade, falsehood assert and
imprudence deny, thereby securing a
temporary triumph to wickedness and
error ; yet the great chart of liberty—
the Constitution of the United
States—around which so many gra
cious and benevolent hearts cluster,
stands conspicuous to guide and di
rect us through the dashing billows
of a maddened sea. If we are driven
into retirement and not allowed even
to speak, let ns be consoled as was the
great Carthusian, when he said, “et si
haec praedicta canfiteri non possim
lingua tauten corde et scrip to” —(if I
cannot confess those things with my
tongue, I at least confess them with
my pen and heart.) If it, too, shall
be our fate to be sacrificed, may we
not appeal to the most obdurate, to be
heard? The great I ah, from whom
nothing is, or ever was, hidden, cited
Adam before he condemned him,
“ Adam, where art thou?” and too, in
the instance of Cain, we hear Him say,
“{Cain, where is thy brother Abel? ’
I ask, where before, in the history of
the world, has the guilt of the most
atrocious crimes excluded the criminal
from the right of defending himself?
If the blood that has been shed, the
lamentations of the stricken and sad
hearts of widows and orphans, parents
and children, that fill the very atmos
phere itself, the great demoralization
of society, do not suffice, and greater
grief and sorrow yet * await us, let
jiiui whose venality, corruption, ambi
tion and pride kindle this flame be
ware, lest the great lire when alight
ed may not, too, consume him, who
kindleth the flame, for it is written :
“They that take the sword shall per
ish by the sword,” and nothing is bet
ter settled than that human forbear
ance and endurance a limit.
The worm itself, may rise and strike
when trodden under foot. There are
no wanting, either, instances of those
who have been bathed in the rivers of
woe and affliction come forth, purifi
ed and invigorated with greater vital
ity. The flame of Martyrdom kindled
a fire which shed a brilliant light
amidst the general gloom, not easily
extinguished. The flames too, may
destroy the most beautiful and mag
nificent edifice, yet beneath its smol
dering ashes bright sparks will lie
concealed. The inquisition, prisons,
and stakes have, in vain, been employ
ed to crush Truth—it is impossible.
That there are minds capable of com
prehending and fully understanding
the great truths of self government I
do not doubt, and that there are brave
hearts will dare assert them I will
question ; and, if so, will it not find
an echo in all our breasts? Our fath
ers endured seven years war to estab
lish the principles of self Gvorn
ment — mil we not dare maintain
themt Let them bide our time in
calmness and great patience, remain
ing ever true to the principles of self
government. Let us too, be, sober,
frugal and industrious: strictly just
and upright, maiutaunng at all times
the supremacy of the laws and order,
asking Divine guidance and direction
in all things, and a reward yet awaits
us as a nation and a people beyond
the imagination of the most sanguine
to picture.
.MORNING SESSION.
HOUSE.
Dec.|l4, —The Governor’s veto of
bill to aid Muscogee Railroad was
taken up and sustained.
The Governor’s veto of the Home
stead bill was taken up and sustained.
Resolutions of thanks to speaker
Hardeman, to pro tem Speaker Pottle,
to clerk Waddle, assistant clerk Estes,
to Journalising and clerk Murrell.—
Agreed to.
Speaker Hardeman then addressed
the House as follows, after which he
announced the body adjourned sine
die.
ADDRESS OF SI>EAKER HARDEMAN.
Gentlemen of the House of Repre
sentatives: I have deemed it not inap
propriate,before adjourning this branch
of the General Assembly, to invoke
the blessings of that Being whose
providence has, for two sessions, shield
ed and protected each and every Rep
resentative from death’s fatal stroke.
This unprecedented manifestation of
Divine mercy, should fill every heart
with deepest gratitude to Him who
controls the destinies of nations and
rules in the Courts of Heaven. You
have been spared to witness the close
of another session of the General As
sembly—for your labors are over
your work is finished, and as the skill
ed artizans, who lias been engaged for
months in felling the timbers, fashion
ing the keel, completing the decks and
adjusting the machinery, watches with
anxious solicitude the launching of his
vessel upon the ocean deep, so do we,
with tremulous anxiety, give to the
waves our humble bark, freighted with
the hopes and destinies of a once proud
and prosperous people. That bark will
be tossed by the billow and rocked by
the wave; winds will sweep over its
deck and storms will play around its
masts ; but relying upon Him who con
trols the lightning & holds the thunder
in his grasp, we are permitted to hope
it will withstand the surging deep and
ride in beauty upon the waters when
the storm has passed. We have en
deavored to freight her with a profita
ble cargo. If we have failed it is be
cause wisdom has uot directed the se
lection, or judgment discovered what
was essential for the comfort and ne
cessities of the crew. Standing upon
the deck, with tremulous concern, I
look upon the broad waters of the bil
lowy deep and with the eye of faith
discover the distant shore; but no
“fields of living green ” cheer and glad
den my strained vision. Before me is
the past, reflecting the splendor of
former days; around me bursting bil
lows, and before me the gathering
cloud, heraldic prelude of tempest and
of storm ; yet, to those beside me, let
me say : Be not discouraged; be true
to yourselves, your country and your
God, and Heaven will in due season,
heal the afflictions of your people.—
More humiliation may be required of
them ; more conditions may be exact
ed ; yet, no people who make honor
their polar star, and constitutional law
their rule of action, can be overrode
and oppressed ; for Justice, weary of
her banishment,will return again, and
constitutional equality will resume its
supremacy and power. Fanaticism
may rule the hour and lawlessness
overriJe constitutional limits, yet I
have an abiding confidence that the
spirit of our fathers will again animate
the bosoms of their sons, and the les
sons of former years will once more
impress the heads and hearts of those
to whom they bequeathed, as a price
less legacy, Democratic institutions
and Republican Government.
When the sun of that morning gilds
the political horizon, our people revi
ved in spirit and in energy, with fresh
zeal will resume the avocations that
engaged them before blasted their
prospects, or the roar of artillery soun
ded the knell of their hopes. Until
that hour comes, let us labor with one
accord to repair our ruined fortunes
by adapting ourselves to the duties
and requirements of the present. Re
pining and indifference will not bring
joy to your firesides, nor plenty to
your boards. Energy, industry and
labor are the magic rod with which
we must strike the Horeb rock, if we
would have healing waters gush from
its flinty sides. Much, gentlemen, de
pends upon you. L our labors here
have ended, 'but broader fields invite
all of your energies, and your powers.
Go forth with manly hearts to the du
ties before you, determined, despite
the ravages of war and the oppres
sions of power, that Georgia shall yet
soar to be what Georgia was—a Sat
urn among the planets, dazzling with
light and surrounded with satellites.
Before you enter upofl these inviting
duties, let me tender you my grateful
acknowledgments fur your kindness
and support, and for the flattering
manner in which you have passed judg
ment upon my official conduct. In the
discharge of my duties, I may have
erred, and, in so loing, wounded ten
der sensibilities. Believe me, when I
assure you, they were errors of judg
ment, not of will. In severing our
connection, I do so with many regrets,
for the associations formed here will
continue through coming years. Go,
gentlemen, to your homes; and may
He who led Israel’s host through the
perils of the wilderness to the land
that was promised them, guide and
conduct you along life’s eventful way,
and when your journey is ended and
life’s last battle shall have been fought,
surrounded with the trophied evi
dence of your victories, may you sink
to rest, like him who “draws the dra
pery of his couch about him, and lays
him down to pleasant dreams.” Wish
ing you health, happiness and prosper
ity, I bid you a respectful and affec
tionate adieu, and adjourn this House
without a day.
