SPEECH OF GENERAL TILSON. ACTING AMIBTI*T COMMISSIONER UK THE BUETAC OK REKCOKKS, I'll KIDMEN AND ABANDONED LANDS, FOR THE BTZTK OF OIOMU. Delivered at MUledgevilie an the 27ih of October, 1865. before the Members of the Georgia State Conversion, in < smpluince irilh a Refibhdwn pass'd by that body (rtntlemen of the Convention : The object of the Bureau ot Refugees, Freed man and Abandoned Lands, seems to ha*ebeen largely misapprehended and misunderstood. I am glad to avail myself of the opportunity offer* ed by yotiV courtesy, to explain to the repre sentatives of the people, corning from all parts of the State, the real objects and purposes o/the Bureau. I have nothing to conceal, but desire that the people throughout the State, white and tilack, should understand and appreciate fully and completely the real purposes of the Bureau, the work it proposes to do, and the policy which will guide it* actions. Unfortunately the Bu reau, to no small extent, is regarded by the white people as simply,.the champion ot the freedmen, nght or Wrong. It is represented as preferring and believing the statement of the freedman rather than that of the. white ma.i— . as intending to force the whites to accept the blacks on terms ot social equality—and a# hav ing been designed, and put in opera tion for the expremf purpose ot annoying, hu miliating, persecuting, and offensively inter meddling with the affairs of the white people of the South. On the hand, the freedmen seem to be somewhat’, under the itnpreaaoxi, that the Bureau is to furnish them food without labor, and' to assist next Christmas or Now Year in making a distribution among them of the lands and Other property of their former masters. 1 scarcely need tell you that one of these opinions is no more absurd than the other, and that such .are not the objects or purposes of the Bureau. It seems strange that the Bureau should come {o be regarded and represented in this offensive light, when we remember that the act creating it authorizes the Secretary of War to make “such issues of provisions, clothing, and fuel, as he may deem needful for the immediate and temporary shelter and supply of destitute and suffering refugees and freedmen, and their wives and children," and that the officers and*, agents have already distributed food and cloth ing to the value of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the poor of the South, who would otherwise, in many instaheoH, have perished of starvation and cold. That it has furnished the suffering refugees and freedmen transportation to their homes, or to places where they can pro vide for their own wants, and that at the head of the Bureau is placed an officer not only of great reputation and of marked ability, but even more distinguished by the Christian traits which adorn and ennoble his character—a man gov erned and guided by the highest and noblest motives, earnestly wishing and striving to bene fit his countrymen, and to do simple justice to all. 1 intend to speak frankly, with entire candor, and with none but the kindest feelings towards the people of the State. 1 am convinced that when once they have clearly understood what the Bureau proposes to do, they will approve of its intentions, and I hope and expect, give their cordial co-operation. The first efforts of tho Bureau in this Slate are and will be directed to aiding all refugees and freedmen, who may need assistance, to ob* tain homes in the country where fair wages and kind treatment will be secured to them, ft is not proposed to allow any of these persons to remain in and about towns and cities, unless they are well and profitably employed, or have sufficient means to provide for their own wants. I need not detain you by describing the manner in which this result will be accomplished. 1 will only add llmtcilicuiil urn huiug taken. which I am able to assure you iiom experience, will produce the desired effect. The distribux tion of these persons among the white people of the Htate, and their absorption as laborers, for which position and duties they are fitted, is regarded as the only permanent, practicable, and sufficient means of providing for their wants. Where unavoidable, temporary hospi tals will be established to provide tor the wants of the aged, sick, decrcpid, and very young children, until the Slate can put its machinery in motion and provide for its own poor. Here I may remark, that complaint is sometimes made of that order of the Bureau, announcing Ityrt the sick, old, decreptd, and young children, »hall not be driven Irom their cabins or the homes oft! oir former owners. Let me remind you that y< ir State law very wisely requires the owner to pu>viue for his old and helpless' slaves during the balance of their lives. For aught I know, the people may decide that this is still right, and that the county or city shalbnot be burthened by the support of persons who have spent their life time in the service of an indi vidual who has received the benefit thereof. However this may be, the Bureau docs not even propose to enforce the law of tho State on the subject to its full extent —it only directs that these people shall bo provided for by their former tt.wners, until such time ns the State shall make provision for their support. The Bureau by no means directs that you shall be compelled to support the freed people who gie able by labor, to provide lor themselves and families, or whom, for any reason, you do not desite to have upon your plantation. It is also proposed, with tho aid of benevolent societies, to establish schools ; but it is not intended to confine them to the use ot the freedmen alone. On the con trary, schools will be provided tor the use of white refugees and other poor white children, who may desire to avail themselves, or who can be prevailed upon to accept these opportunities of obtaining an education. However wise or necessary it may have been during the existence of slavery to keep the colored people in ignor ance, it can be so no longer. It is evidently ot the first importance, and ot the highest interest, to the people ot this State, that the freedmen should tie educated, and the soofter the better. Their dense ignorance, their entire inability to understand or comprehend the meaning of freedom, its rights and duties, is what makes it so extremely difficult to influence and manage them, and the sooner it is overcome and re moved, the sooner it will be possible for them to become honest, industrious, and useful mem bers of the community. Upon their intelligence will depend their real value as citizens. Officers and agents will also strive earnestly and assidu ously.to instruct the freedmen in the meaning and extent of their rights, their responsibilities und their duties. Unhappily, lajge numbers of treedmen seem to imagine that freedom means relief from all labor or care, or the right to live a life of idleness and even of vice. .This must be corrected. They must be made to understand that with freedom comes the responsibilities and duties of freedmen, aud that these they must accept and perform —that labor is a necessity that they can obtain and possess nothing without it—that it is imposed upon them not by the white man, but by their Creator, who has made it the only means of providing for their necessities. They must be made to understand that when they have, or when the Bureau has placed within their reach opportunity for earning their own sup poit.smd that of their lamilies v hy thejr own labor sud industry, they must accept it, unless' they have the moans to support themselves and fami lies without laboi; that they .are not to be per mitted to live the life of vagrants, and become a bnxthun upon, or tanuisance in the community; that having entered into an agreement, they will be required and compelled to comply in good faith with the terms and conditions there of. And here let me say, that lam fully aware that this is a point of great interest to the people of this State, ami that upon it depends the re liability permanency of labor, without which it will be impossible to engage in agricultural pursuits. I knoitf_\'uu will tell'me that while spine of the freedmen will labor faithfufly, are honest, and useful citizens, a large proportion of them will not work lor jhe induce ments whietvitfadiijL secure labor,in other coun- tWM:j tR> fact. I know it, 401 only flfcenuse it is the universal statement ot the peo ple , but from day own expe ’enceinthe BuregU, gnd.-from~ conscientiously col- Tycied by myself, f know, too,that asVrace they a very large degree, the vicestf apaopto'jostemerging from long years of sfaverW that they are great liars and most skill- ul thieves ; that they are breaking into and rob- 1 bing smokehouses throughout the country, and ! are stealing and killing animals loan extent that j jeopardizes the future prosperity of the State. These are disagreeable facts. I wish they were other-rise, blit they are facts, anJ no amount of persistent denial, or iagernons argument will char, e them. I know that much may justly be said ir extenuation of these faults and in praise of qualities ; that it may be predicted that with the advantages of freedom, they will gradually become honest,industrious, arid valua ble citizens. With my whole heart, I hope this pleasant anticipation may be realized. I will gladly do all in my power to produce this much to be desired result. But w ith the past or ex pectations of the future, I have little or nothing to do. I must act with reference to the present, and as the tacts now forced upon my attention seem to itquire. And when 1 say that the freedman, who receives a fair and just compen sation for his labor, and is treated with justice and kindness, will be compelled to comply with his agreement and work faithfully, I mean what 1 say without mental reservation. I know that this is the settled policy of the Bureau, and that it accords with the wishes and intentions of the Government. It is, of course, easily perceived and understood that if the freedmen refuse to labor for their own support, and were not com pelled to do it, they would entail upon them selves the most learful suffering, and bring a gn at calamity upon the State and country. As a guardian for these people, to which is etitrusted | alt matters relating to their welfare, the Bureau I would tail most lamentably in the performance ' of its duty should it permit them to indulge in J such a suicidal course of conduct. I know be forehand that the Bureau can neither issue or- I deis mo pursue any possible policy that will produce perfectly satisfactory results in all cases. It must be borne in mind that these are seldom, or never, reached in any country ; that there is always more or less jarring and clashing of in terests between the employer and employee ; only reasonable success can be anticipated or expected. The success that is attained will de , pend, in a large degree, upon the good temper, skill and tact displayed in the management of laborers by the employer. How well the people of this State wifi succeed in the undertaking I do not know, and opinions on the subject (and that is all that can be given, as nowhere, as yet, has the system had a fair trial) are ot very little value indeed. I can only promise, that so far as i may be able to exercise any control in the matter, nothing shall be left undone by the offi cers of the Bnreau in this State, to secure per manent, reliable and profitable labor. But whether this aid can be extended by the officers of the Bureau- depends almost wholly, if not entirely, upon a few simple conditions which the white people of the State can alone fulfill, and which must precede any effort the Bureau can make, or which it will permit any one else to make, in forcing the freedmen to labor. First. They.must have fair and reasonable compensation. It is simple lolly to expect sat isfactory and piotitable labor without this, as the experience of mankind everywhere has demon strated. Now, while 1 have not only met with repealed instances avhere the former slave owner was willing to be just, but even generous, to the freedmen to a degree that excited nay ad miration, still I am compelled to tell you that anfong the many contracts which have been presented to officers of the Bureau and Provost Marshals for approval, not a few proposed to give the freedmen very inadequate compensa tion, and I regret to say that in some which started in apparent fairness, there were found conditions which would inevitably have brought the freedmen in debt at the end of the year, let him labor never so faithfully. Iby no means suppose that the people of Georgia are remarka ble for their disposition to drive sharp bargains, but I think you will admit there is still reason for the exercise of a just and reasonable super vising care in this matter by the officers of the Bureau, or some other disinterested party. Second. They must be secure in their per il ms. their homes and their families, in the en joyment »1 iW fruits 01 ttieir labor, and must be treated justly and fairly, I am fully aware of the prejudices of the people on this subject, and I neither propose to ignore or disregard them, snd while I desire above all things to speak kindly, still it is evi dently for the interest of the people of the State, that 1 speak freely and frankly. While you very naturally and properly believe that front association and experience, you are better judges of the race than any man raised in the North, you will readily perceive that the officers of this Bureau are in a much better position to know of the acts of cruelty, injustice and outrage practiced upon the freedmen, than any citizen who may or may not hear of such an act, when committed in his own neighborhood. To the officers they become known from all parts of the State. In some places they are of daily, I might almost say, ot hourly occurrence. I do not speak at random and of mere rumors or complaints, many of which are false or malicious, but from the records and from well-attested facts. I know that you, as representatives of the Stale, would be shocked, mortified, and in dignant at the hideous array. There are not a few instances in this State, where freedom has been a bitter mockery to these people, and where they have been subjected to cruelty from which they would have been protected as slaves. Now I do not propose to be guilty of the short-sighted stupidity and injustice of judging the whole people of Georgia by men, mean, brutal and cowardly enough to practice useless, unnecessat ry cruelty on a race already poor, ignorant and suffering. Such miscreants were never a part of file real people of Georgia ; they are the rewdies, blacklegs and scoundrels of the State, who now take advantage of the disturbed and unsettled condition of aflairs to indulge in their naturally brutal propensities. I know that you must despise and abhor such men and their acts. And although now. while smarting under the loss of slave property, and provoked by the bad behavior of the lreedmen in many instances, the people may be indisposed to exert themselves in their behalf, yet 1 have no doubt but that public opinion will soon re-establish itself, and give powerful’aid in repressing such acts as 1 have mentioned. This must precede any thing like a healthful and prosperous condition of aflairs ; ami for your own sakes, anil that of humanity. I ask you to raise your voices and set your faces against all such needless violence and cruelty. I am exceedingly glad to be able to inform you tnat there is a noticeable and gradual improve ment of the.conditiou ol the treedmen, and a decrease of crime against them that argues well for the future. Years ago you would not asso ciate with a master who was guilty of such acts Towards his slaves. Make the crushing weight qf public opinion felt now, and you strengthen immensely the hands of officers who are charged with protecting the freedmen from oppression and cruelty. ’Phis is one of the important duties of officers of the Bureau ;.they are to strive to the utmost to avoid giving just cause of offence to the white people, and will, in every case, punish freed people who make false and mali cious charges. But wherever there is reason to believe that an act of cruelty has been per petrated, they will use every means at their disposal to arrest the guilty party, and if caught and convicted, such persons will be certainly and severely punished. These people are free; it is a part of my duty to assert and maintain their freedom and protect them jn their just Yights ; and while I shall en deavor to do this in perfect kindness, with the most anxious desire to do simple justice to all, white or black, with the help of Providence, I will not fail iu doing my whole duty towards them. The stern determination to do this to the fullest extent, and under all circumstances, is fortunately not incompatible with the most "perfect good w ill towards all well-disposed citi zens. In this 1 shall be simply obeying the orders of the President of the United States, who proclaimed “that these people are and hencefor ward i*hall be tree —that the Executive authority of- the United States, together with the naval and military powers therepf, shall recognize and maintain the freedom ot such persons.” I do not propose to gvi beyond the record, but to con fine myself strictly within it, to obey the erders ■ofhny superiors, and to cany into effect the kind and conciliatory policy of the Government. It is also necessary that the freedmen should feel secure in the possession ol the rights which have been guaranteed to them. Unless this can b e done, they will be unsettled, suspicious, restless, and unprofitable laborers. Unfortunately, men are found in the State angrily proclaiming tha once civil government is restored, and the army removed, the negro w II be forced back to his former condition,or something akin to it. Offi cers traveling in the State,especially i.‘ without uniform, very often hear such remarßs. The freedmen also hear this, it spreads among them with great rapidity, they become alarmed, and to my knowledge this kind of talk ;n some : localities has made labor even more unreliable j than before. It maybe that there is among the j people a latent expectation or hope of some such action on the part of *he State, c so, are certainly destined to be disappointed The , people who suppressed the rebellion, may differ j on many other questions, but about the right, j necessity or expediency of keeping sacred the j solemn pledge made the freedmen, there is hap pily no question, only a constantly growing and deepening conviction that it ritust be maintained at all hazards, at any cost. Few things in the j future are so certain, as that no State wiil ever be allowed to deprive these people ct the lights secured to them by the success of our arms, and i the vain indulgence of any such expectations can only prove injurious to the best interests ot the people and the State- Doubtless a policy could be pursued which would drive the fieed people beyond tbe borders ot the State, but such a course would plainly be suicidal. V our must have labor, or tho State is ruined. She becomes so much waste laud, covered with decaying and tenantless houses, and if the freedmen are driven away, from what source is labor to comej White laborers will not come here, for the sim ple reason that other States oiler much greater inducements to them. l’he West has soil ot inexhaustible fertility, a more agreeable and endurable climate for white laoorers. Settled, established government, schools, churches, and a people who respect and honor the working-man. They are well aware of the value to the com munity of an honest, industrious immigram, and they take good care that the superior ad vantage offered by their country shall be well understood. I think a little reflection will con vince the people that the tide, of immigration cannot be turned South for many years to come. The few and simple conditions, then, which the Government asks the white people to com ply with are these: To give the freedmen fair and just compensation for their labor, security 'of life and limb, and in the enjoyment of the fruits of their industry. Nothing more; not the full rights of citizenship; not ali tho privi leges freely conceded the laborers of the North. Grant this in good faith, and you enable the officers of the Bureau to extend their utmost aid and assistance in securing to you permanent and reliable labor, and in helping to restore peace, order and prosperity. The Government does not insist upon these conditions simply because it can enforce its re quirements, or for the purpose of annoying or humiliating the people of the South, but because with the destruction of slavery they become ne cessary and indispensable. It has become re sponsible for the protection of the freedmen, and is pledged to maintain their rights, and [cannot shrink from this duty; but the same military force that it use* to protect them, it will freely and promptly employ in compelling them to perform their duties, if necessary, and I know from my experience that it will he necessary. Numerous instances have already come to my knowledge, vuhere the freedmen not only refuse to labor on the plantation, but refuse to leave it", and are setting at defiance the rightful authority of the owner, over his properly, and trampling upon his rights. I can assure you that this state of things will not be tolerated, and that wherever such abuses are brought to the notice of officers of the Bureau, who are within rea sonable distance of the scene, force shall be freely used to place the owner iu peaceful pos session ol his property, and to punish the freed men for this abuse of their rights. The white people of this country are just as much entitled to protection in their rights as the freedmen, and it will be as readily accorded to them. The Bureau is not the chanypion of either. It only desires to secure jastice to all persons irrespec tive of color or condition ; and to accomplish this result it invites the aid of all well-disposed As no appropriation was made to carry on me operations ol the Bureau, hired citizen agents •cannot be employed to but a very limited extent. I do not deem it advisable to make use of them at all in this State. It is difficult, in fact, im possible to obtain a sufficient number of officers from the army to organize the Bureau, so as to distribute them threughout the State and bring them near enough to the people to prevent loss of time and vexatious delay in adjusting diffi culties, enfoicing labor, and preserving the peace. After reading your Statutes and reflect ing somewhat carefully upon the subject, I have decided to ask the State authorities to instruct such of the Justices of the Peace for the militia districts, and Ordinaries of the coun ties, as I may select, to act to the extent of their jurisdiction as the agents ot the Bureau. And I tell you candidly, that should my request be granted, I shall be guided solely in my selection by the cosiderations of competency and fitness, without the slightest reference to the political opinionsor past political actions of these officers. If so be they are honest, conscientious men, and will do sim vie justice to all persons without reference to color, then they will answer the purposes of the Bureau admirably. If this arrangement can be consummated, it will enable the people to adjust all minor diffidences, and maintain the police of the country through the convenient channels to which they have been accustomed, and will, I hope, remove much of the irritation that now exists, and which so often breaks out into open violence. , To act as agents of the Bureau, it will be necessary for them to hear the testimony of the freed people in cases where they are interested. But this is a very different thing from saying that they shall fully believe the testimony. They are simply asked to hear it, and give it that weight to which they conscientiously believe it entitled; and if it really be conceded that these people are free, then certainly tins is not an unreasonable request; it is not asking that they should be permiited to sit upon the jury, but that your own magistrates should hear their testimouy, and decide upon its value. The officers and agents ol the Bureau in this State vill be particularly instructed and re quired to be patient, obliging and forbearing. At the same time let me remind you, that when day after day an otlicer has witnessed the evidences of outrages practiced upon these peo ple, when they have been coming, as they do come, one after another, with their backs tor to pieces with the lash, bruised, cut, shot, and maltreated, and when it would almost seem as though there was a universal disposition to per secute them, his sorrow and disgust may turn to anger ; and while in this mood, and boiling with indignation, a gentleman, who abhors such conduct towards the freedmen as thoroughly as himself, may enter the office, and nor be treated with the respect and consideration to which he is justlyentitled. You certainly will be willing to overlook such an accidental occurrence. Aou will remember that there is no settled purpose ot retaliation, but that there is a settled, well established policy of conciliation. 1 know that officers have been found naturally cheap and contemptible enough, or so anxious to please the white people whose flattery they accepted, as to use their power in a tyrannical and oppressive manner towards the colored people. The white people may have used such men, hut they certainly despised them. 1 assure you, that it I have the mortification to find such an officer in the Bureau in this State, he shall not only be dismissed but disgraced, if I can possibly have it done. We mean to serve the'people,«nd really hope to benefit them, but not at the expense of justice or manhood. There is no need ol mis taking conciliation and kindness lor weakness, imbecility or cowardice. Let us act with never so much caution or care, we may he mistaken and may do wrong, but it will not-be intentional, and if shown, nothing shall be left undone to put the matter rightor making restitution. The whole subject is surrounded by difficulties and even dangers, antßnothing will remove them, or improve the condition of society but lime, pa tience, kindness and forbearance wisely but firmly applied. The wrongs and offences are by no means wholly upon the one side or tho other. But I say. frankly, that from my expe rience, I anticipate much more difficulty will be found in inducing the ignorant freed people to become law-abiding, peaceful and industrious citizens, than in compelling the white people to refrain from cruelty and injustice towards them. The latter understand their own interests, and when once the present bad temper and irritation, which is natural enough, and to be expected, have passed away, I have no doubt that they will be governed in tf.err intercourse with the freed people as their best interest dictate, and this will go lar towards removing the evils which now afflict society. Yet I know there are a c ass of persons who can only be restrained from cruelty by sheer force—who are so ignorant and brutal, that they even imagine there is positive merit in hating, despising and trampling upon an inferior race, and who openly make a boast of their own shame. You cannot change the intentions and opinions of these people, but they can be made to shrink from the quick, sharp, certain punishment of a military tribunal. This is the only experience likely to benefit or improve such persons. The officers of the Buieau will be further instructed, on no account to do or say any thing which will increase the id feeling existing be tween the races, but on the contrary to do every thing in their power—to lose no opportunity of removing the prejudice of the one, and the sus picion of the other. This is the best and most certain mode of ameliorating the condition of the freedmen and securing prosperity to the white man. There is no reason why a master who was kind and humane to his slaves, as I believe a large majority were, should not be trusted by the freedman now ; no reason why an honest, industrious, well-meanihg freedman, and a just and honorable white man, however widely apart their social conditions, should not be real friends, interested in each other’s welfare, and even ready to protect, maintain and defend each other’s rights. The interests of the people are not antagonistic ; it is lor the interest of the white man to secure reliable, trustworthy labor— it i» equally tor the interest of the freedman to become an honest, industrious, and skillful workman! For the present certainly, and so far as human foresight can perceive for the fu ture, the welfare of the two races is inextricably bound up together; whatever hurts the one, injures the other ; whatever benefits the one, helps the other. Whoever stirs up strife and ill leeling between the races, no matter upon what pretext, is a public enemy, and should be so regarded and so treated. Getting angry and using violence can only make matters worse, and an officer of the Bureau who is unable or unwilling to accept facts as they really exist, and who is bent on maintaining some particular theory can only do mischief, and is unfit for his place, however honest in his convictions. The officers and agents of the Bureau in this State will be constantly reminded that above ali other things, they are to endeavor to do simple justice, and todo even that as kindly, patiently and pleasantly as possible under the circum stances. The experiment of free labor is yet to be fairly tried.' In some instances it has suc ceeded admirably, in many others it has been a failure. Scarcely anything else, under the eircumstahces, could have been expected. Tiere is no material object that can engage the people of this State, of such vast importance to them, as the success ot this sys tem. It is to be hoped that the people, for their own sakes, wiil not allow any passion or preju dice, however honestly they may entertain it, to interiere with, or prevent success. ’ I have explained frankly the real objects and functions of the Bureau. I cannot help feeling they . will meet with your approbation and Approval. There is nothing in the act of Con gress creating it, nothing in the policy of the Bureau, or in tho attitude of the Government, hostile or menacing to the people ot the South. You know how great the suspicion of the freed men, how thoroughly they distrust their former masters, and how readily they believe and con fide in the statements and representations of officers of the Bureau, whom they justly regard as their friends. -You can readily understand, that it is in our power to be of great service to the people, and I can assure you it is our anxious desiie to render it. You have only to accept in good fhith the few simple, and certainly not hard or unreasonable, conditions imposed by the Government, by allowing the freedmen fair compensation for labor, and just treatment, arid I promise you our heartiest, most constant and mi*t eaujett in inducing and com pelling the lreed mon *0 JuL- aul # ,—J restoring the Buie to it» farmer peace and pros- P crit y- M MEWS SUMMARY.
