Tri-Weekly Republican, •
Americus, Georgia:
5. W7~hancock!
Editor and Proprietor.
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20,1866.
The True Spirit.
We ea.ll especial attention to tlie
following able editorial, from the pen
of Mr. Sneed, Editor of the Macon
Telegraph. Such sentiments, as are
embodied in that editorial, are worthy
of our people and will find a prompt
response from them wherever read.—
AVe are not quite dead , thank God !
nor have we parted with our man
hood. And those who would council
our suffering countrymen to yield to
the damnable demands of (Stir enemies,
arc skulking cowards:
Lions in the Path. — “ We copy
elsewhere, from the New Yoik World,
some remarks on_one of the difficul
ties to be by the North
ern Radicals in upsetting the State
governments and attempting to.
lish others against die will of the peo
ple. Theis force cannot fail to be ap
preciated ; indeed, when we take a
survey of the whole field, we cannot
see how that party can carryout their
schemes of vengeance against the Sou
thern people; without involving our
whole political system in confusion
that will be inextricable. It is a very
easy tiling to talk about and threaten
the subversion of State governments,
but a very different thing to put such
a project into practical operation.—
The Radicals will find difficulties at
every step of their progress—difficul
ties that not even Yankee ingenuity
can overcome, and we feel sure that in
the end they will give up the job and
find themselves in disgrace for attempt
ing it. They are very strong, appa
rently now, but not strong enough to
be able to make a blunder with impu
nity. A failure in any of their pet
schemes of revenge, either through an
over-ruling of the co-ordinate branches
of the government, or their failure
from inherent folly and impractibility,
will doom them to early destruction
as a party. No political organization
can last when it is made apparent to
the people, either that they are gov
erned by unpatriotic motives, or that
they' are too ignorant or too reckless
to comprehend and respect the funda
mental laws of the land. We predict
that the councils of the Radicals, in
every' important particular, if attempt
ed to be carried out, will, in one way
or another, ignominiously fail. This
is a country governed by law, and we
live in an age when the tyrranny of a
majority over a minority, much less
of a minority over a majority', cannot
be maintained for any considerable
period. The very instincts of man
kind are opposed to palpable injustice
and wrong. There are none in this
enlightened day to uphold the servile
doctrine that one portion of the hu
man race are born booted
to ride rough-shod over the rest. The
people of this country', since the estab
lishment of their independence of the
British yoke, have been known as free
men, and there is no power on earth
that can rightfully bring them under
a yoke again, much less a minority of
their countrymen not a whit better or
more powerful than those who are
sought to be made the victims of tyr
rany. The whole world must acknowl
edge this great truth sooner or later,
and it will even penetrate the rhinoc
eros hides of those wild beasts in hu
man form, who can see nothing in the
people of the South but objects of
prey'. No man or party is wholly in
dependent. There is a civilized world
to sit in judgment upon their actions
and test them by the rule of right, as
well as a sure avenger of outrage and
wrong.
Then let the South stand unmoved
in her present dignified and righteous
position. If she will but maintain her
rights with the lawful weapons at her
command, and banish all unworty
fears, she has but little of harm to ap
prehend. And in this connection, we
would caution our people against len
ding a willing and credulous ear to
those teachers of the public, who are
ever croaking of evil to come, and re
flect the future of the country from
their own cowardly hearts—men who
would deliberately go to work to pre
pare the minds of a free people for ac
quiescence in oppression, and who,
themselves, are destitute of the spirit
and manliness to raise aloft the stand
ard of truth and justice and demand,
in the name of the Great Eternal,that
it be respected and sacred. Such men
have no business in positions to direct
public sentiment in times iike these,
and God help the people who listen to
their craven counsels. The faithful
leader, on whatever theater, -whether
in the editorial chair or the public
councils, will find his highest duty
tn exhorting his countrymen, to guard
Well every' avenue of attack upon their
liberties, and to resist the eriemy.come
in what form lie may, With all the
means Uiat God and their fellow-coun
trymen can have placed in their hands.
At least, such is our own view of du
ty', and we are resolved to give it 'a
practical illustration in these columns
so long as we shall have the power to
indite their language or dictate their
spirit. When this resolve shall have
failed us, we shall he ready to retire,
as no longer worthy to counsel our
down-trodden countrymen.
Do Not Attempt too Much.
Wcmean the planters,especially, though
if e might say as much to all tradesmen and
all classes of men. Tfie experience and ob
servation of the present year, must convince
the most skeptical that the planters, in most
instances, reached a little too far- They
planted too much land, more than they could
halt cultivate. The result was, that they
failed. Grass spread over their fields and
choked the growth of their cotton, And to
console themselves, many of them attributed
their bad luck to the seasons and to the indo
lence of the negroes. To be sure, in both
these respects there maynave ucen souieming
unfavorable ; but not to the extent as is im
agined. The great error consisted in not
making the proper allowance for the new
and changed status of the freedmen. When
slaves, they worked under a very different
system and much more was accomplished by
them. Their labor was then compulscnj, and
they moved at the end of the lash. Not so
now, and our planters failed to give due con
sideration to this fact, and planted more cot
ton than they could manage. Had they,
when the crop was far advanced, seeing
that they were being fast overtaken by grass,
curtailed their operations, they w-ould have
made more cotton. There is hardly a plan
ter in the whole country but what is cog
nizant of this statement, and will admit it
to be true to the let*cr.
We would be a Very curious and short
sighted people indeed, if we did not learn a
salutary] lesson from this sad experience.—
It is for this powerful reason that we now
appeal to our planters, as they approach the
planting season and arc busy making their
preparations for another crop, to be exceed
ingly cautious as to the breadth of soil they
take in. You now know what the negro
can and will do. Adjust your work accord
ingly, and you will make money by it. It is
useless to tell the planter that, of all the
crops raised, there is none which requires
such a prompt, constant and delicate culture
as the cotton crop. This lit knows, and if
be will act upon bis knowledge of this fact,
lie will be duly alive, no doubt, to the im
portance of the suggestions we have made.
Another such year as the one now closing,
so full of disaster and blighted hopes, will
bring our suffering and sorrowing people to
the verge of ruin. We are already nearing
that point, and nothing but the practico of
rigid economy, the exercise of prudence and
discretion, and the highest exertion of all
our energies and powers, will save us.
A Few Words of Advice.
The freedmen are likely to give us
some trouble. They are every day
becoming more and more insolent, and
are presuming a great deal upon
their being free, and that they
will have the protection of the Yan
kee Government. We would, respect
fully, suggest that it were a matter of
policy not to give any unnecessary
cause of offence to them; not to treat
them too rudely and harshly, simply
because they are negroes, and endeav
or, by all proper means, to maintain
harmonious relations with them. AVe
must, at once, accustom ourselves to
the inexorable fact, that they are free,
as much so as any white man in the
land, and that they are entitled to
protection. The laws of the land are
over them and to them they have the
right to appeal for justice. Besides,
if we treat them improperly, it will
only bring upon us, the ire of the Rad
icals and prompt them to pour upon
us their vials of wrath. To get along
with the negro, we must keep him at
a respectful distance and not be on too
familiar terms with him. But if we
put ourselves on an equality with him
we must expect his insolence.
Good if True.— lt is stated that a strong
effort will be made this session to have
taxes very materially reduced. The Secre
tary of the Treasury is confident that the
conditions of the financies will warrant a
move in this direction- It is not improba
ble that r raong the important tariff measures
which are sought to be reduced will boa
reduction of the duty on cotton. The
nuisances of stamps on checks, receipts,
certificates, etc , which is loudly complained
of by merchants throughout the country,
has also many advocates in tavoringan ea
tire abolition.
Payment for Slaves.— The “loyal own
ers in Tennessee are being paid three hunj
dred dollars for all of their late chattels
mustered into the military service. The
Secretary of War has recently' appointed an
examining board whose duty it is to investi
gate all claims of the kind referred to, and
report to Washington the result of their in
quiries. All of which we learn through the
Nashville papers.
Surratt. —lt is beginning to be believed
now at Washington, that the arrest and
trial of John 11. Surratt will result, among
other things, in demonstrating that his
mother was hung unjustly. Holt and oth
ers are said to be quite nervous on the sub
ject.
