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.
