BEN. HILL AGAIN.
We iiave already alluded to the
speech of this 4i tutfrae t-d/S-d" at At
lanta. In our opinion, ahog;eilier too
mueh attention lias been paid to the
vile abuse of political opponents poured
out by this man, who uses vituperation
for argument; but, the following arti
cle, which we clip from the Savannah
Repnblica-}), of the - hi iust., is at the
same time so scholarly and so pithy,
that ii is with great pleasure wo lay i*
before our readers :

The Hon. B. 11. Hill spoke in Atlanta on the
Idth ins!., though the Hon. B. 1!. Hill lias de
livered many hundred thousand spi • ehes, this
\> I lit* tiivt we laive ever rad, and though lie
may deliver luauy luuuned thousand more, it
is the last w e shall attempt to read. There is
something iu thissj'veeh, licwev v that tells
us Mr. Hill w ill always have one willing audi
tor who will luxug amorously on i e music of
his voice—one to whom Mr. liill is fondly at
tached, u sympathizing spirit that will udmi- i
riugly listen to his elorjuenee, even when so
liloquizing. Women are proverbially talkative,
and have tongues the traditional length of
which no mathematician has been able to com
pute ; it is also a household truth that chil
dren, in the innocence of their tender intellects,
prattle incessantly, but we will pit the lion. B.
11. Hill against the eour spinster or most intc
p l ing nursery in the State of Georgia. In
truth, he is an untrue “talkist ” and nothing
linnc. There is a happy man described by
Spencer w hose beatitude consisted in reposing
■ !a eternal silence far from enemies.” The
H*»n. 13. il. Hill probably never had a moment
ot f ilenee (for we are credibly informed he talks
■ \ n in his deep,) hut he has certainly enjoyed
the repose that cannot be found in the presence
*»f the enemy. The honorable gentleman evi
dently has the same opinion that Prior had of
Songs of Solomon, to wit: ‘ ‘ Solomon is the
p ) son that speaks ; lie is at once the hero and
the author.”
From what a loity pyramid of platitudes docs
this umnlisted soldier wave his borrowed
word! i low vigorously this literary Todlcbcn
throw.*; up his battlements of mud after the
of truce has been hoisted over the captured
citadel ! What a battalion of technicalities he
marches forth as soon "A the terms of capitula-

among the gallant -! s ’ v. I.ose heroic struggle
you witnessed—from a distance.
The buried coimcript whom you forced into
a war against the Constitution, will resurrect
in pure admirat ion when he hears your pathetic
defence of that same Constitution. The bro
ken-hearted feoath era mother, the grief-stricken
wife, the impoverished orphan, will dash care
lessly side their tears when they learn that
your ” voice is still for war.” The sacrifices
you made, Ihe valor you displayed upon every
hattle-fieid, waged for the destruction of the
Union, is a guarantee of the disinterested uiix
iety that agitates your hold bosom for preserva
tion.
When did you become, Mr. ltjll, a moral ro
foraier of your early vices, under the license of
a pardon promise ? It is evident you love the
Constitution. It was your childhood’s creed,
hut seems to be the dim remembrance of your
dotage.
“ Do not abandon your rights— talk for
them.” | Fnthiisiastieand prolonged applause.}
Benjamin, cannot you do something better than
talk ? Is it not an aphorism that deeds are
better than words? The Military Bill, you tell
us, is unconstitutional. Does the poor man
that has lost an arm feel it less because he lost
it unconstitutionally? Does thercturnedCon
fWlemti: soldier with a wooden leg limp the
1* because he limps unconstitutionally?
Ilhelorii -ueh as youn told him to make the

you not carry in your pocket, a pardon, written
itp'-n parchment, obtained by v. supplicating
petition for a remission of crimes against the
Vv. ry Ciin,dilution for which you now profess
to be so ardent an advocate ?
Does not the acceptance of that pardon con
stitute a promise to do different from what you
are now doing ? Was there not implied in the
clemency of the Fxecutive and the special hu
miliation that you alone, of all Georgians, un
derwent- a promise not to oppose, directly or
indirectly, any law of the United States Gov
ernment unconstitutional ? Are you a Supreme
Court, or even Inferior Court, that you should
i talk so flippantly of questions that, the highest
; tribunal in t lie hind hua refused to entertain?
! You talk about “perjured traitors!” Mr.
! Hill, if there is a “ perjured traitor” in the
State ym can be registered in that list. You
i have violated no parole, for you never fought ;
| hut you hare violated an “amnesty, which
; means forgetfulness, and a pardon, which
j means forgiveness.” * * *

"ere Iroodinon, yet a large number of
citizens wore present. I noticed in the

Col. Ihyant began by saying that
he had from boyhood been opposed to

slavery, and he proceeded to give rea
sons tor his hostility to that institution.
1 lie strongest point in the speech,
• ""t that which made the most impres
iiiii upon the audience, was his expo
sure of the depressing influence of
slavery upon the non-slaveholders of
the iSniith. lie proved conclusively
that slavery had made the rich man
richer and the poor man poorer j that,
while a far were benetitted, the great
mass were injured, lfe read the fol

lie so tel that this sjiccch had been
endorsed by all, or nearly all, of the I
Rebel ]»a}>ers in the State, and it was'
fair to say that the views quoted above
were the views of the Rebel party of
Georgia. Then, the Rebel party of
this State believe that those who advo
cate “liberty and equality,” the “nat
ural right of man,” and “the born right
of manhood suffrage,” talk “miserable
jargon /” but that party advocates a
Republic with an “ immense number
of slaves," “ non-voting citizens ,” and
a “ landed aristocracy embracing com
paratively few of her citizens."
He said that this landed aristocracy,
brought on the late war. They were
the enemies of the freedmen, and the
enemies of the non-slaveholding whites,
and of all laboring men.
He spoke for two hours, holding the
attention of his large audience to the
last. The speech has done much good
in this county. 11.
CIRCULAR OF THE UNION RE

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
This Committee has issued an appeal
to the loyal men of the North to come
to their assistance with money, to be
expended in building up the Republi
can party at the South.
The Republican members of Con
gress held a meeting to hear a report
from their Executive Committee, and
adopted the following resolution :
" Hetolved, That we, the Republican Senators
and Representatives of the Fortieth Congress,
having listened with great inter; rt to tin: stnt..--

Washington, I). C., July 15, lst>7.
Il being alleged tlmta traitor in Ten
nessee has divulged the National pass
word of the order, with sonic other
portions of the work, a change will be
promptly made in the same. Until
such change is communicated through
the authorized agents of the order,
State and each subordinate council will,
by order of its president, adopt a:special
local pass-word, to be given only to
members who are known, or vouched
for its truly loyal men.
M e tiike this occasion to say, that
the principles and purposes of the
l nion League of America are before
the public without reserve, and are
confidently submitted for the approval
of every patriot. The secret work so
called and the pass-words are used for
the purpose only of keeping the ene
mies of the Older out of its councils.
The Order does not in the least feel
embarrassed by any pretended expo
sure. The better its objects are known
the more will the organization be ap
preciated. The pass-words w ill be
changed. The work of the Order will
go on without interruption, and the
traitor, whoever he may he, will hav e
injured no one. but himself. Papers
friendly to the organization and desi
rous of promoting the triumph of the
great principles vindicated in the con
test for the preservation of the Govern
ment, are request ed to copy this notice.

"Hark ! From the Toombs!"
Turbulent, dogmatic, talented, noisy,
insolent, Robert Toombs of Georgia,
again appears on the political stage.
Ihe last heard of him of much ac
count, for nearly two years, was that
in his rage and disapjiointmcnt over
the defeat of the rebellion, he had
ended his wicked career by cutting his
t hroat and thus by his owti hands'per
formed the work which most govern
ments of the world would have done
by the hangman. He was one of the
earliest and most resolute promoters of
Nullification and Civil ’War. Gifted
with a fiery kind of eloquence and
possessed of an extraordinary amount
of audacity, he was well fitted for a
Southern agitator. Though a Whig
in his early days, he swallowed the
political nostrums of John C. Calhoun
with remarkable alacrity, and did his
best to kick up a muss' in the Whig
party about Southern Rights. Not
finding the Whig elements altogether
so plastic to his hand as he wished,
and learning by plain experience that
Zachary Taylor cared little for the
crack of his whip, he went square over
to the Democratic party, where he
properly belonged, and there the cur
rents cowed to his liking as naturally
as congenial waters do to the fish who
sport iu them so nimbly and agreeable.
He had things his own way for ten
years in the polities of Georgia, and
very much to his liking in the Demo
cratic party of the country. In bring
ing about the collision of anus in 1861
he probably wasjnore influential than
any other Southern man, though after
the ton'll of civil war was once light
ed, Jefferson Davis became much more
than Toombs the controlling man in
Confederate affairs. Robert entered
the rebel army and was made a Gene
ral, but his career of arms was not
specially successful, as he found it
much easier to thunder on the platform
and in the Senate and to boast of his
future hopes of calling the roll of his
slaves on Hunker Hill, than to thunder
on the field in front of the Union
armies. When the rebellion collapsed
this tempestuous son of thunder fled
the country, hut finding his neck safe
from the halti r ol justice, lie recently
returned to Georgia hoping to rule it
as in days of yore. He does not like
the Union and the Republicans a par
ticle better than before his party re
ceived such a deserved whipping, first
at the polls in November 1860, and
then by the solid weapons of which he
used to make such lavish threats in
his tornados of eloquence in the Sen
ate Chamber at Washington. Toombs
wants to reconstruct, not the Southern
country on the basis cd' Liberty and
Impartial Justice, but the Democratic
party with the view to its restoration
in control of the National Govern
ment,
He always had a way of blasting
out his real purposes with little faculty
or desire of concealment. But it is
obvious that his letter is a condensa
tion of just what the Democratic
factions of the country are aiming to
accomplish and the methods by which
they hope to achieve power. True,
Toombs is a defeated rebel, a paroled
prisoner of war, and by every rule of
honor is bound to keep his tongue to
himself. But what cares he about
honor, or the turmoil and peril he may
bring upon the country, provided the
Republicans can be defeated and the
Democrats once more returned to pow
er and to the oceupaey of the national
halls where they once played fantastic
tricks before dhe country and high
Heaven U l\< nuebec ./burned, M- .
There are signs of prosperity in the
South, for they begin to have their
railway disasters.
In Washington a woman shot a man
because he did not marry her; in
Cincinnati another shot one because
he did. What can a bachelor do to
save his bacon '{
Mr. Greeley [having declined to n
commend woman suffrage, on the
ground that “public sentiment” does
not demand it, the pertinence of that
expression is now thrust upon him by
a petition presented in favor of such
an innovation signed by Mrs. Horace
Greeley and others.

It was thought by some that we bad better
get the Parker & Watson Series, which is the
most used in the Schools, simply beeai l >c some
had got it, for the sake of uniformity ; but my
recommendation prevailed. One gentleman
present, who had used both, stated that he had
used the other as long as he cared to, und con
sidered the Willson Series as fa it superior,
giving an example of the difference of time
required in teaching anew pupil, the prefe
rence being decidedly in favor of the latter
series. So we, starting this new movement,
have decided to get the best book extant, so far
us we knew them.
(Signed) S. Willard Saxton.
From the American Freedman (Rev. Lyman
Abbott.)
“ The peculiar characteristic of this Series
lies in the fact that they aim lo impart, as far
as possible useful information. For this pur
pose they contain a series of articles on vari
ous subjects of science and history, graded to
the capacity of different pupils, and so arranged
that when the five volumes have been care
fully read, the student, in addition to a know
ledge of reading, will have acquired a conside
rable knowledge iu many departments of
btudy, such as will lay the foundation for more
complete instruction afterward.”
They are therefore peculiarly adapted to the
pressing needs and quick perccptivcs of the
colored children. Each book is profusely aud
handsomely illustrated, and the illustrations
tire all intended to render the comprehension
ol the reading matter more easy. The follow
ing testimonials have been selected from a
large mass of a similar nature :

Richmond, Va., Dec. 13, 1860.
Dear Sir—l have been familiar with the
Readers from their first publication, and am
free to say to you, os I have uniformly said to
teachers, superintendents, and others, that,
all things considered, 1 regard them as the
best Series before the public. The leading
peculiar feature of this Series was a happy in
spiration of the author, and the execution of
tlie plan so well done as scarcely to of
improvement. Mr. Willson’s style of compo
sition in the lower numbers of the Series, and
something of his plan in the higher numbers,
have been imitated by some later writers of
school readers with decided advantage to their
works. Hence Mr. Willson has not only made
a peerless Bevies of his own, but has elevated
the general standard of such works. When
ever my choice has not been constrained by
circumstances, 1 have always used this Series
both iu the white and colored schools with
which 1 have been in any way connected.
Yours, truly, R. M. Manly,
Superintendent Education.
