Everts delivered, last even ing, the fourth of the scries of lectures to young inen in the First Baptist Church. The large audience room was nearly filled with the most appreciative audience. The lecture was founded outlie test “ And s;n. when it is finished, hringeth forth death.” The following is a sketch of the address: — Ch lea go /'tin,. Everything in nature has a eompartively small beginning, and gradually reaches its maturity. The acorn, imbedded in the earth, after a long series of years, becomes the sturdy oak, waving its branches in the sunlight and defying the storm for centu ries ; and the humble rivulet, issuing from a spring so small that an elk or a moose might drink it dry, running for miles along a channel so narrow that the hunter can step across it, gradually widens and deepens its channel as it rolls on to the sea, till it is nent. This same law of progression exists in the human mind. Ihe tiny infant with its embryo intellect, after a long course of years, assumes the form of mature man hood. So vice, beginning in the inception of a sinful thought, in its progress and culmination follow the same law of pro gress. It is tho law of progression, as applied to the vices of lift, that embraces all their terror. It is that when vice is begun it is progressive, and that “ when it is finished it hringeth death.” How insiduous the progress, and how unsuspected the fearful consummation of Sabbath-breaking. One who has been brought up to an observance of the Sa - hath stands in awe of Hod's commandment concerning the Sabbath; hut after the lapse of years, perhaps* for some slight cause, the law is broken, the young man, for some trivial reason, withdraws his foot from the house of God. One such dese cration opens the way for others, until there is a painful vacuum iu the mind and thoughts. When the Sabbath was kept, its engagements observed, his affections and thoughts were placed upon th ir proper object- ; but now he will lounge late in his bed, or read over tho morning papers, or make an engagement with companions, or go abroad. He becomes restless anil un happy. worldly thoughts come in, and his whole life unconsciously becomes changed ; tho pledge made as he kneeled at his mother s knee is broken; the Sabbath is no longer a delight to him. He now pur sues his worldly schemes on the Sabbath day, until at last the flood-gates of vice sweep over him. He has become a Sab bath-hreakcr, and Sabbath-breaking is a hebdomadal descent toward perdition. The Sabbath-breaker commits a double crime; lie takes away God’s appointment and then confounds amusement with the idea of worship. In the cities of the Old World, where Sabbath breaking is fre quent, the people arc more corrupt and given to vice than where the day is ob served, and it will always be so. Another vice that is marked by this same mode of progress from small begin nings is that of profanity. The boy that, has been accustomed to repeat the Lord’s prayer stands iu awe of His law ; hut at length he brfcaks out in some terrible oath. Let him tell ais experience then, and he will say that he trembled at what he had done ; hut at length he becomes fixed in habits of profanity. Profanity usually springs from a desire to hide some igno rance, or to cover some meanness of mental capacity. Every vice is useless, but how destitute of use is this profanation of the name of God! When a man becomes a profane man, that habit cuts oil all accept able approach to God. God will not hold him guitless, but will spurn him away. A man who has a God to swear by has no God to pray to. Tho vice of untruthfulness also steals up on one progressively. Nearly every child, in early youth, is as sensitive to the truth as was Washington ; but hv mingling with the world, and seeing its various deceptions, he at length learns to deceive. But false hood. when it is finished, brings death. Gambling is a vice that grows from small beginnings to its fearful consumma tion. Tho world is full of gambling. Men love to hazard something in various pur suits, but it is all vicious; there is no good in it. For some wise purpose, some start ling events have lately fallen upon the public ear, and tho true conscience of tlie public has rightly interpreted those events. In one place a nqm was Shot down at a race-course by another man. Another by a tell blow was destroyed in dur midst; ’and still another is shot down by his .mistress. These are all warnings that’ the public should heed. Look at the confirmed gambler. Seated with his companions; the flame burns from the lengthened wick ; the lights grow dim in the looming; at last the shrill crow of the cock awakens them to a sense of their place and condi tion. So there is no vice that renders a man more fiendish than the perfect mas tery of gambling. When it is finished it hringeth death. The vice of intemperance springs from small beginnings. It is enough to say that, if children were brought up to take the pledge of total abstinence, this vice would soon l>e dried up. It breaks down charac ter, fortune, and even civilization, every thing is ruined before it. It is stated that the late fire in Quebec, which detroyed 2,500 houses and rendered i't.iHtO persons homeless, originated in a drinking saloon. So here in Chicago, where there are 2.000 of these saloons, some one’s sons a r a form ing habits of irretrievable intern peranee. Ami, lastly, impurity of heart, "When it is finished, bringeth death.’’ There is nothing nobler in man than a pure heart. A man that regards his honor in the treat ment of women cannot be far wrong in other respects, and a man must be utterly demoralized who could ruin innocence and bring shame upon an entire family. Our instincts so declare it. and there is „o other crime for the commission of which the pub lic will justify the taking of the life of the offended. A civilization that requires the taking of the life of the seducer is a higher civilization than the lower judgments of the communities of continental Europe—not that the crime wholly justifies the taking of life. This vice begins with impure and sinful thoughts, ana when one once yields to the sin, he moves, like a train on an in clined plane, to certain perdition. Virginia Items.

JACKSON, or Morgan Cos., BEFORE THE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE, In tlie Capitol at Mllledgcvlile, Nov. Ilth. 1M6(). Subject— Debt—Belief. (j’cntlciien of the ,S*ncitc, And House oi Ueprcsentalivcs: It i- now something more than a hun dred years ago since that great and good man. Gen. Oglethorpe, founder of the Colony of * Georgia, feeling a deep ’concern for the suffering debtors of England, a Targe number of whom were shut up in the dreary prisons of that country, because they could not pay their debts, seeing that they could not work while in jail, and earn money to satisfy the demands of their un relenting creditors, while their families were suffering for bread. Oglethorpe, en tertaining a supreme contempt for the folly of putting people in prison for debt, and being a man of influence, and at that time a member of Parliament, prevailed on ihe King and the honorable body of which he was a member, to agree to a plan for their relief. The plan agreed on, was to liberate all from confinement who would go to Ameri ca, and settle in the wilderness south of the .Savannah river. In the autumn of 11-j-, a y- ar ma ie memorable in the annals of the , world, by the birth of Gegrge Washington, Oglethorpe as their Governor, and a large number from the debtors’ jpri.-oris of the old country, sailed for the New World, and landed where tlie city of Savannah now stands, fin that spot the adventurer built rude cabins, and laid the foundation of the great colony of Georgia. [ have thus alluded to this brief histori cal record, to show the cruelty and perse cutions which our ancestors endured from their heartless oppressors in old*England, which caused them to bid farewell to their native land forever, with all its fond and cherished recollections, to seek a home and resting place amidst the wilds of our be loved Georgia. Ah? it would indeed Jprove a difficult ta-k, tt tell the mingled feelings of joy and , sorrow heaving the bosoms of the adven turer- ; joy in so unexpectedly emerging from solitary confinement, sorrow at thus being driven from their native land to peril the stormy billows of the ocean, and beyond the trackless deep, seek a home in the wilderness ; a land never yet trodden by the white man, with no companionship save that of the ferocious wild beasts and -avage AborigTiese of America, roaming its wills undisturbed. Gentlemen of the Generally Assembly, draw your own comparison between the condition and circumstances surrounding those of our ancestry, who landed on the soil we now trend under this strange and trying ordeal, and that of their posterity in tiiesc latter days. The contemplation of this solemn subject must lead us to exclaim in agony of sou! : Oh ! That there was an Oglethorpe to deliver the people. After the close of the war, and adjourn ment of the Reconstruction Convention, looking abroad over our desolated land ; seeing that about three-fourths of the wealth of our people had been destroyed by emancipation, State repudiation, by (ire and the sword ; while millions of per sonal indebtedness was in existence based on property thus destroyed. 1 was led to inquire what can, what should, and must be done to save our people from financial ruin. Those of my own blood and kindred race and color. I thoughtfrom the signs looming up in the horizon, unless relief be given, a vast majority of the bone and sinew, the patri j otic, the generous, the solo repository of a ; national honor and a national glory ; those upon whom the perils and hardships of the late bloody struggle had fallen with pucu | liar violence—must sink down inevitably into the vail of poverty without Legisla tive intervention. And that a rigorous en ibreement of existing laws, by a co-ordi | nato branch of the Government, would be j a death blow to the people, and place them j lar below a level, of tbe millions of the manumitted African race, in their financial affairs. In the contemplation of this solemn sub j jeet, the exclamation has often crossed my mind, great God, shield our people from the violence of the impending storm— from ! the iron-hearted grasp of a few luck j monied-men, who will show no mercy up on the alter of whose darkened souls not a I spark of humanity has ever shown, with its benignant rays. With profound reference, 1 would im i pi ore the searcher of all hearts, to purge out every pulsation of mind that beats not high in the cause of civil liberty. But I must say, l prefer tho liberty of my own to that of any other country ; and the i liberty of my own to that of any other race. A vast majority of our people are involved, and without relief will in future only know what freedom is by name, not in reality, i ho man in debt is a freeman, the dearest linen, known to our poor, fallen, perishing : humanity. In rctrospecting the mighty past, L have in vain sought to bring to light, one solitary instance, amidst the uprising and downfall of empires and of nations, re* I corded on the annals of history, from the present event ful period down the long dim vista of the world’s progress for six thou sand years to Creation’s early dawn, to ! find a parallel for the present anomalous position of our race and people, in these so-called rebellious States which have just emerged from a bloody and destructive revolution, which will he known as the great American Rebellion of the 19th Century. The learned historian might ruinage the archives of ancient lore— plough up the wlnlc classic field of an tiquity in vain to find its parallel. I appear before you this evening, not in the capacity of an office-seeker, or a politi cian ; but as one of the people from the private walks of life, only professing _to know something of the wretched condition | and necessities of my unfortunate fellow countrymen. I know this subject to be one 1 of vital moment, affecting the present and tjilurc generations. One in which almost ! every man, woman, and child are either j directly or remotely concerned. Twelve ; months ago, 1 was deeply impressed with ; the vast importance involved in this nto j mentous question. It had but few friends at that time, but, 1 am profoundly thank ful to Almighty God that its friends now arc legion all over the State with the wel come news that they are still increasing. ,It is to be expected that there will be 1 opposition to relief in almost every section; an 1 1 regret there is bitter hostility against I any relief adulterer, by a few ; yet there is | great consolation to be derived from the fact, that this hostility is not front prin ciple, but alone from self-interest. No man upon earth can sustain himself, and show | that he is an opponent of this cause of j humanity and civilization from principle. | Sympathy, justice and honesty , alike de i maud an equitable, adjustment of these I financial difficulties. It is a great principle recognized by all l writers on moral science, that we are i formed for society, and unless perverted j from our natural channel, wo have ten | dercies manifestly directed to the good of | society. Our philosophy is, therefore, false to nature —when it assumes that every man ought to live for himself. Now, the | loss of nine-tenths of the money due the j creditor in our State, would not do injury I to society, while if no relief were given, so ciety would be torn up root and branch. This is a contest between a. landed aristoc racy and the people. There is enough personal indebtedness in tlie hands of a few in each county in Georgia, to buy up every foot of land iu the State it forced to sale. Between two courses of conduct we are under moral obligation to choose that which will conduce most to universal good. All the world should reprobate the man, having already a competency in life, yet i whose grasping avarice would snatch the ! last morsel of bread from the unfortunate, j upon whom the fortunes of war have fallen 1 heavily, l-'rom the bereaved widow and orphan children of the brave and heroic soldier who perished in battle, and whose chivalrous bones lie bleaching on the plains ! of the bloody fields of the late war; many \ oi whom hare never been honored with even so much as a gear, in which to rest. The man obeying the promptings of self-love —seeking his own—blinded to the interest of all around, should be con demned by the unanimous voice of all good men the world over. While praise and j immortality should l>e awarded him who -corns the accumulation of wealth, to the ruin of his neighbors, and the destruction | of society, I would, with all tny heart, implore di\‘ine blessings oti him - sr lolly soul prompts a sacrifice for the yorid of his suffering countrymen. What can be said to extenuate the ac tions of the deeiple of Mammon, whose avaritious propensities burn in his dark ened conscience, with an unconquerable thirst and re-:stiess sway, holding undis puted possession of his narrow contracted soul ? Who. in this perilous hour of our country s hi>torv, would reduce to starva tion those of his own blood and kindred, and wade through an ocean of tears, drawn from suffering humanity around him ? Stay thy righteous vengeance. 0, Heaven! —suffer not the earth to open wide and swallow him up; spare him yet a little while, that he may repent of his great sin! The most pernicious and accursed spirit, | brought to the surface by this revolution, is an insatiable thirst for " filthy luere”-- knowing no leniency nor mercy for a poor. : conquered people— plunged in vale of j poverty. I The unnrect dented amount of litigation going on in all portions of our State, is an , unmistakable sign of the calibre of the ■ men who have come into possession of : most of the negotiable paper in the coun try. By speculation, extortion, and other wise equally as criminal, the indebtedness has been gathered into their poluted hands, much of it by using Confederate money to ; carry on their nefarious purposes, refusing to take it where a man had land upon i which they could by their grasp after the war. Gentlemen of the Legislature. thL I is the cla-« soon to swallow up this coun try. Shall they be allowed to do so l 1 say no, never! Compounding an l compromising debts, without legislation, can never prove effi cient, for it Is needless to appeal to those whose ear.-: are sealed up to the cties of humanity: whoso eyes are closed to the ; heart-rending scenes of poverty that sur round them. The man whose God is mam mon, at whose unholy shrine lie is a de voted worshiper—the purpose of whose ■ soul is to hoard up money—is well described by Milton: “From orbs convulsed should all the plan ets tty, World crush on world and ocean mix with I sky ; Ho unconcerned would view the falling : whole, And still maintain the purpose of his sou!.’’ Is there one under the sound of my voice ' who will say no relief should be given the debtor; when the property on which this indebtedness was based has been lost with out fault of his; without his will or con sent; without dishonesty on the part of! the debtor? If there are such present, pardon me for appealing to you by every obligation which you owe to God, to your i fellow man, and to yourselves, to lie certain the right is with you ; that, in opposing relief, the duty is imperative, ere you enter on this cold hearted massacre of the dearest hopes of your fellow country men. Life, liberty and property were all in volved iu the gigantic struggle from which we have just emerged. Would there be ; the least violation of the most exalted prin- j ciples of morality, to throw the negotiable j paper in the scale? Does not .justice /,< - tween, man awl man, and honesty in the sight of God, alike demand it ? If. in an hour of excited feeling, looking 1 to self and self only, making this your centre and circumference, or, from other j reasons, you fail to act on this momentous question as faithful public servants thus : wilfully consigning thousands of the gallant and the brave, the noble and generous of our land to financial ruin, and afterwards discover the deed was one of great moral terpitude; that the blood of the innocent polluted our hands ; that the cries of the ! fatherless were ascending to Heaven against you —oh, how could you “hence the sad re proaches of a guilty conscience, how atone for the wide-spread ruin and irreparable mischief—and how, as a people, efface from our fair escutcheon the infamous stain that would be stamped upon us ! Those who oppose this cause are in immi nent danger of error. In a duty so awful ly obligatory we should he sure we come to a correct conclusion. It is human to err, but divine to forgive. If we err at all. it should ever be on the side of mercy. : If I know my own heart, 1 can say of a ; truth, I would to God -omo system or plan ; of a just and equitable relief could be in augurated. without the slightest possible irritation to any good and fair-dealing man —that this adjustment could be possible without pecuniary loss to a single human being who deserves the money. This being an impossibility, and such is the frailty and depravity of human nature in its most enlightened form, to await the day when no hostility shall be arrayed would be vanity in the extreme. I should do violence to my own con science, prove faithless to my own heart, were I, from the fears of the frowns of the opulent, or intimidation by false accu sations that I seek my own self-interest, to refrain from the utterance of my senti ments and feelings, when the happiness and temporal salvation of my friends, neighbors and fellow-countrymen is in imminent peril. These people arc my associates, fellow sufferers in the vale of poverty —among whom I expect to live and raise my family, and with whom I hope when life’s fleeting day is past—to pay the last tribute of na ture. My sympathies are with the unfor tunate, the poor, the destitute. I have and will avow thy feelings and sentiments in tiicir behalf just so long as there re mains the baseless fabric of a vision upon which to rest my hopes of success to the cause 1 have honestly espoused. All questions of a political character sink down to insignificance when compared to this. Without relief the few will swal low up the many : the poor become poorer, the rich richer. The foundations of society torn asunder, gloomy shadows overspread the land from the seaboard to the moun tains. 0, then, my countrymen should we not all be united on this great humanita rian cause of giving relief, where inexor able justice between man and man, and in the sight of high Heaven alike demand. We have been divided between ourselves in times past, on questions now hurried in oblivion. Those who favored were honest alike with those who opposed the action which involved us in a mighty war, and deluged the land in blood. / allude to the yeomanry, the virtuous toiling millions of 'these lStates. Gentlemen of the Legislature : There is a good old maxim, “Where there is a will there is a way”; and still another— “ Equity knows no wrong without a rem edy. ’ ’ We profess to bo heirs of liberty. It is the crowning glory of till republican governments, that all political power rests m the hands of tho people. But it would indeed be a libel ou that hallowed term were it impossible for the suffering millions to obtain relief from the financial troubles which afflict the land. ( The landed property in our Slate, with ! out Legislative action at this session of the Legislature, would soon fall into the hands of a few moneyed men —-if it were possible I for the decrees of our Courts to be exe cuted. And if this mighty storm should burst forth in terrific violence on the de | voted heads of our people, the blame will ; rest upon those placed in authority as i guardians of the public good. While many creditors are not disposed to press their debtors to the wall, knowing | there is no money in the land, no help at hand, (and this class have acted with a ! magnanimity worthy of commendation,) j yet there are disciples of Mammon who have in all ages of the world cursed man kind—deaf to the cries of a perishing or phan—upon whose ears the wail of’ a poor, bereaved widow has no restraining power. , Oh, let this flood of evil be stayed, this \ murky tide be dyked, or the people will be | consumed by tlie scorching fire and burning avarice of these men ! ! There are those who acknowledge the j justice of “ Relief,” and its accomplish ment possible, were it not for that clause | of the United States Constitution forbid ding any State passing a law impairing the obligation of private contracts. In my j opinion, Relief is possible without conflict | with that instrument. No constitutional authority on earth ’ could free the negro, but Georgia, in the sovereign capacity of a Convention, by the ratification of the Constitutional Amend ment abolishing slavery, now, henceforth I and forever. The mighty lever that moved ! in majestic grandeur the pondrous wheels ; of Southern industry, has been stricken down. Georgia can violate her contracts by repudiation of eighteen millions of her people s money; strip them of capital and resources on which these debts were based; authorize, by act of the Legislature, the Treasurer to sell State bonds, and then kill the same in your hands, and hold you re sponsible; set you to delve and toil tke.bal auce of your life to bring forth the money destroyed. If there ever can be an in fringement on the supreme law of the land, in securing relief, that work lias been consummated already, and we only need laws to relieve us now of the oppression and anomalous circumstances under which it has placed us. Tiiis matter of relief was a work for the Reconstruction Convention, but it is pass ing strange to say, no man in that august body of reconstructors would deign to rai ;e his voice for the toiling millions. They must be reduced to bankruptcy, and take the place of the negro, as a vacancy had just been made by giving hint his freedom. Reconstruction is not, nor never will be comp Ute until this matter is settled by laic. —things must be made to harmonize. I would remark, just upon this point, if the Union was supreme, the author and maker of the States, the argument might be regarded as plausible that uo relief was possible; but as the States made the 1 ’nion, it is therefore impossible the crea ture can have a divine right to .rule the creator, in matters involving her own in ternal affairs. li l have no eommisseration for princes, but my sympathises are reserved tor the great mass of mankind. ” This was the language of our unrivalled statesman, the prince of American orators; and should lie the motto of every Representative man in this Republican land of ours. The toiling millions deserve sympathy, succor and aid ; and the man whose heart does not beat for this class is unworthy of place or power ; and if unfortunately such a man r.ow holds position or authority, he should be hurlei back into obscurity forever, by the righteous indignation of a free people. The man who has voluntarily taken upon himself the vast responsibility to be incured as a representative of the people : should possess no narrow contracted views, but should cherish enlarged sympathies, looking abroad on the community with his eyes and ears open to the distress of the hum blest of his constituents ; to see how much suffering hecan alleviate and how much good heean do. His gnat ru l ing principle in all his official acts, should be sympathy, fidelity, justice, mercy and humanity. He who is vested with authority, and endowed with these, estimable qualities will be aroused to action ; he can no more refrain trom action than he can violate the great laws of his being : all the powers of mind with which he may be invested by nature's God. will be brought into exercise, to embrace the largest number of the un fortunate and the wildest possible sphere of suffering. My countrymen —let your immaginations survey the field, look abroad over an im poverished and desolated land, a howling wilderness of desolation meets your sad dening gaze, millions of our race and color blood and kindred conquered, vanquished and poverty stricken. Three-fourth? of the wealth of these States lost forever ! without remuneration : while millions up- ! on millions of personal indebtedness exists, concentrated m the hands of capitalists, ■ who will show no clemency. These claims were based on the negroes 1 and other property lost by the disastrous result of the war; and yet is it true the late Convention took no action to save the j country from universal bankruptcy ! And ’ can it be true that Gov. Jenkins, seven members of the House, and a few in tho; Senate, would give our people not a day to ! work out, but consign them to the rale of j poverty without a tear.’ Oh! is there a | philanthropist, patriot—whatever may he j his calling or station in life—who eaunot 1 shed tears ■ ■!’blood over the appalling dis- ; tress brought upon our afflicted land ? In the burning words and lofty eloquence ; of the bard and romancer of North Britain. I would cxe.aint: “Lives there a man, so cold and dead, Who never to liimsclfhaih said, ‘This is my own, luv native land?’ ” No man, v.hodove- a Republican Gov ernment, or believes in it, can have any j sympathy for a despotism, which is known to be tlie deadliest enemy to liberty that afflicts the earth. But whenever the peo ple of Georgia drift headlong into a landed aristocracy, they are at once crushed down under the iron heel ot a despotism of the most direful character. Mark theprediction. The war, with its horrors, has passed away; the fife and drum supplanted by the more welcome sounds of the anvil and the forge; i industry, in all its varied branches, in feebleness struggling to rise. The masses of our people have nothing left hut their homes. Their lands are now their sole de pendence, front which a scanty subsistance may lie derived by great industry, sell denial and rigid economy. Oh, shall they bo deprived of this hum i ble inheritance, be reduced to fifty acres of red hills and yawning gullies, to add to the ; well filled coffers of the extortioner, the speculator on negotiable paper, and thus he turned out upon the wide world as pil grims and beggars upon the earth. A distinguished orator and statesman of a former generation on a certain important occasion, used this lofty sentiment with surpassing eloquence : “/ aspire to possess ! a stout he art and steady eye, that can sur j vey unmoved and undaunted any mere j personal peril that can assail this poor , ! transient, perishing frame. But I cannot I lay myself down in the way of the wed fore \ and hajipincss of my country. 1 cannot \ for my personal benefit, or self-age/ra.nilc.e- I meat cheek her onward march to greatness j and glory. / would not , / dare met lie j down and place my body across the path that leads my country to prosperity and happiness. ’ ’ This is that higher and nobler courage, ' laying aside all sordid interest, a weak ! pusillanimous spirit; daring to stand up ; boldly as a patriot and philanthropist, i ready and willing to sacrifice his own for ! his country’s good. It is the bird of night that warbles its ! inharmonious strains in the midnight gloom and solitude of tho forest, fearing to burst forth its hideous sounds amid the open light of day. But the eagle that brushes its wing against the cloud, bathes its plumes on. the misty mountain’s top and.looks boldly in the face of the sun. This question of Relief is a momentous one, addressing itself to every honest heart and intelligent mind. Especially the man honored by the suffrages of the people to guide the helm of State, should reflect dispassionately that the ends of justice may he attained, making a fair comparison of its certain or probable ills with its pos sible gains, and then pronounce the sen tence which justice, humanity and policy demand, and a suffering, disheartened people will bless that decision. We live for the future, not the past.—- It is a sacred dutj' to provide for ourselves and our posterity ; to make the world bet ter and happier around us; to labor for the greatness, glory and prosperity of the land that has given us birth. The exist ence of society and preservation of our race hangs ou this question. While our heart-felt sympathies should run out for all nations and people ground down to tyranny and misrule, and if with in our power aid to break the chains with which they arc bound, oh let us not forget the duties we owe our own people, our own country, are only secondary to the duties , we owe our God. His Excellency addressed a special mes j sage to your body, at your last session, ! favoring relief of tho Banks, and gave all j the weight of his official influence, even by 1 a veto, against allowing one single hour for 1 the people to work out their enormous lia ; bilities. It may be said he was governed Iby conscientious motives—l he Stay law was in his opinion unconstitutional. Now, search with all the strength of your natu ral vision, aided by the most powerful mi croscopic assistance, and tell me how it can be just and constitutional to relieve corpo rations ofliabilities and penalties, , and not the people! The policy of tho Executive would leave the debtor at the mercy of the creditor, while the latter is more to he ; blamed ibr this indebtedness. Every public man should possess that ] high, ennobling, exalted and sublime emo i tbn reigning supreme over the heart of a j patriot, whose absorbing and soul trans ! porting thought, is the good and glory of his country. That patriotism, indebted to heaven for its inspiration, soaring far away | at an immeasurable distance above all | prevailing interests. This my countrymen , ! and. this cdouc, is public virtue. Rome men talk and act as if the people were made for the government, and not the government for the people. It is a truth ful saying that the worst form ofgovern ; uient in the world is a military despotism, I but the most heartless and despicable form : of despotism on earth, is capital concentra ted in the hands of the few, for the oppres : sion and depredation of the many. Is there i not danger of our being drifted into this i whirlpool of ruin. i _ The mighty conflict of arms which bap | tized this continent in blood, has been alike ; destructive of property and of human life ; , mourning and sorrow has visited almost j every household. We are now among the ! poorest people ou earth. The bright lu -1 minary of heaven in his majestic progress round the world, shed’s not his cheering | rays on a people once so prosperous now so poor. 1 hold it to boa great ruling principle, that every individual or association of in dividuals, lias the natural right to make and enforce such laws, as may ho most promotive of its own social and domestic policy. So long as such laws do not affect the inalienable rights of others or the great natural law. Every State is entitled to, and should be left, to the free exercise of its own discre tion in the inauguration and maintenance of such regulations as may be designed for i its own domestic policy. Only let this ' grand principle be denied, and the whole theory of self-government falls prostrate to the ground. This principle is founded on truth, with reason and justice. What can he more unreasonable or unjust than to compel a people to submit to laws absolutely op pressive, and deprive them of all power to remedy the evil ? | Each independent State, so far as the establishment and preservation of its own domestic rules are concerned, must stand lin the relation of a forei 0 n government to | all the world. Upon these grand and ( glorious principles is laid the very founda ; tion of good society, and forms the chief | corncr-stpne of civil and religious liberty. 1 here are some debts that should be I paid —many that should not. The creditors i of the country, who have been indulgent, | would realize more money by wiping out ! all coercive measures of law, than if no relief were given. The heartless sharper who has run his claims into execution would bankrupt the country, and leave I nothing lor any one else. 1 have often heard the question pro •pounded, “ where is the justice in depriv- I ing the- creditor for the sake of the debtor?’ ’ j But ah! there is a very great difference. The debtor class are the masses; the ; creditor the exception, nine-tenths of whom —were they to lose every dollar—would •till live comfortably, and be, by far, the richest people in the country. Millions ol these claims are due in Con federate scrip, or bought with the same on speculation. This accursed trafic was car ried on during the war by a set of soulless, , monied mongers—peering sharply in the dim, misty future, these blood-suckers lived I in joyous anticipation of the day ichen : they should become lords of all they survey. In a conversation with an intelligent member of the late Convention on this im portant subject, I asked him if ho voted : for State Repudiation? He promptly re plied he did. Did you vote for the Consti tutional Amendment ? Yes, voted for that too. Well since you have voted away well nigh all the people had, I suppose you are willing to relieve them of their liabili ties, based on this property you have de stroyed. at least so far as coercive meas ures by the State are concerned ? 0, no, i why that's unconstitutional to interfere with i private contracts. \\ ell. then, 1 suppose j your are in favor of turning a map. out of house and home, as a beggar in the worid, or incarcerating him in a dreary dungeon, j because he don't pay the money you have destroyed? Now, what do you suppose was the answer of this patriotic representa : rive of the sovereign people? “ Well, that ; would look a little hard.” The glaring inconsistency of this memor able body was in exercising the right to ; burv in the fathomless depths of the ocean ; all the people possessed, save a pitiful own ership in the soil, and leaving this at the mercy of the monied man who had_ been laying his snares and arranging his figures for this emergency, and now stands with open mouths to swallow up the country. Not a few of the prominent lights of this Convention are among the number, with their jaws wide extended. But. aIU be careful; tread softly—do not speak of re lief to the people, that unconstitutional, retractive law. These cold-hearted, selfish, narrow, con tracted views can never stand in this ad vanced age of civilization. Oh, witness the j mangled form of that veteran hero of many a 1 hard fought field whose body has beer, lacerated and tore, fighting for him and his property, who now turns his wile and chil dren out upon th: world with no shelter j butthe heavens, perhaps to give place to sonic sable specimen of the African race. Who can witn’re without a tear, the ‘ chiiling sound of the Site rift’s hammer, ' which elo-’s th door forever of a once happy family. Around that venerated old ; homestead, cluster a thousand pleasing j recollections : of the past, ever and anon rising up to memory those halcyon hours, j now burie 1 in the deep ocean of the mighty i past, asa bright oasis ou the desert of fifes i toilsome way. Those Cherished objects once so much enjoyed ; the broa I expanding branches of the old shade tree, beneath whose cluster ing foliage the family were want to resort; that dearest spot of earth where ’rests the sacred remains of loved ones long since passed away, must now bo turned over to stranger hands; the heartbroken family turned homeless wanders in the world to battle the best they may with the sneers and contempt ever shown the poor penniless bankrupt an I the unfortunate who people the earth. . . Gentlemen of the Legislature, this is no fancy sketch nor overdrawn picture, but a sad, solemn reality, which must he seen and felt ere the wane of many moons, from the ro k bound shores of the old At lantic to the mouldering waters of the llie . lation shall interpose. The people are moving on this vital question. O will you set to work, that the.si heartrending scents may not be witnessed in Georgia. Oh ! wituess that greyhaired sire over whose veneralje head nearly three score years have passed, after a long life of in dustry and toil has nothing left but his home ; with trembling limbs and bending form, accompained by his aged companion who has stood side by side with him bat tling with tlie shifting storms of this event ful life for forty years. Oh! how striking the similitude this sor rowful sight, to that of Moses as he hid fare well to tho children of Isreal on the plains ofMoab—ascending Mount l’isgart’s tower ing heights this wonderful man ofGod turn ed for the last time to cast a lingering gaze on the white tents ol Isreal which dotted the plains far below. Yes my friends, this aged couple with gloomy forebodings and burdened hearts, turn their dim and tear ful eyes to look for the last time on their old home, and gaze once more, on the graves of their loved ones mouldering beneath its hallowed ground. Oh ! witness that bereaved widow in weeds of mourning, whose pale countenance reminds you of one whose world of sor rows, have been clustering over the grave of the Father of her famishing children- — bidding farewell to her humble home. Yes my friends, the last sad stroke of the Auctioneers hammer, sounds the death knell to all her earthly hopes, and she now looks forward to tlie cold silent grave as her best, her only friend. Under our laws, ifyou become my debtor you are my servant, you make yourself my slave. The moment I become your credit or, you have a master —relentless, perhaps, of a spark of sympathy for you. Have 1 not control of what you possess? Have I not the right to expose your property at your own expense? And at a time when property is at a low valuation —no money in the land, no help at hand —is an auspicious hour to call for payment. Further, have I not the prov ince, with all the powers of the State to back me, to hurl you into a dungeon, away from home and family, to suffer and endure the horrors of that worst of all earthly pun ishments—solitary confinement ? lmprisonmentforuebt!— horrid thought! Inhuman, barbarous custom, in any coun try, to visit on the unfortunate debtor the most torturing punishment in the catalogue of human sufferings. This offensive and tyrannical statute must chill the blood of every humanitarian. It is reproachful to us as a Christian people, amidst the blazing light of tho nineteenth century. L would exclaim, with profound reverence —Great God! from thy majestic throne, open the eyes of our people to this outrage ou humanity; this dark spot on the fair escutcheon of our glorious old Com monwealth ! May the foul page on which this barberous relic of the dark ages is re corded, be defaced—forever buried in the deep sea of oblivion! ! Our rights vested in the slave was co-ex tensive with the early settlement of this j continent, holding a priority of claim above Constitutional guarantees, or the original laws conferred by State or Federal Govern ment. These sacred and ancient rights have been invaded by Georgia herself; that military dictation was brought to bear, does not change the principle, nor relieve the State oi' repairing, so far as possible, the damages thus brought upon the people. Southern wealth was composed of the negro ; being so much cash in hand, credit was given on this security; if there was a dollar the negro would bring it. Now, is it possible for a_ matt to work with his own hands, after being stripped of capital and resources, to pay the accumulated millions based, directly or indirectly, on this species of property. A government, driving its citizens to this direful calamity, would very justly be held in supreme contempt by the civilized world of mankind; and it would be de nounced, disgraceful alike to Christianity and civilization. Every political association is founded on a contract, between each of its members; each member stipulating to yield obedience to its laws, and to refrain front acts de structive of its existence, while the govern ment stipulates to each of its members, justice and the free enjoyment of his rights. While i all must admit the sacred obliga tions of a contract, that where the laws re quire it, tlie government must enforce com pliance on the part of the debtor ; that he has not the right to release himself, this being inconsistent with the nature of a contract, therefore, he can only be released by tlie political association of which be is a member. Now, since Georgia lias destroyed the ability to pay, swept away the capital and property on which the indebtedness was based, the people are released from the moral and should be from the legal obliga tion to be held accountable at least- to the extent of tla■ destruction by the action of the government. Can there be wrong in this, where in all conscience is the injustice or dishonesty to any one in the adoption of this policy. It has been said orphan children would be great sufferers by success of this cause, a limited number of tlie more wealthy class of orphans might loose, yet this would be overbalanced, by the benefit given the thousands of poor helpless ones whose fathers perished in the struggle. Those made such by the war have but little prop erty, and where old claims are to be set tled, must he reduced to abject poverty i and destitution. Now, T should despise myself were I not | with all my heart to sympathize for an | orphan child. It would be, indeed, pass ing strange if. I could not, being left in infancy myself a poor, helpless orphan, without a father’s protecting care to direct my frail bark over tho stormy waves of life’s billowy tide. Most of tlie money of this unfortunate class was swept into oblivion by investment in Confederate scrip or State bonds. Therefore, objec tions on these grounds have but a shallow foundation, anti should not serve to effect to divert attention from the cause ol relief, upon which is suspended the temporal sal vation of our race and color in these States. The farmer must be the principle sufferer without relief. v Ve are an agricultural people. This elus> compose a vast ma jority. and if reduced to insolvency, enter prise and industry will be paralized, and a universal spirit of despondency overshadow the land. The farmer is the bone and sinew of the country. "W hen he prospers, all others reap the reward of his prosperity; when he fails it is known and felt through out the land. Should his hopes be blasted, the earth at his bidding refuse to yield fortli her abundance, then starvation would stalk abroad, with ponderous tread, amidst universal desolation—the earth herself be draped in mourning, and the perishing millions of the world s teeming population cry out in wild despair. Oh! shall this hitherto thrifty and noble class, honest toiling yeomanry, who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow, whose stiffened fingers and sour browned countenances tell of their laborious calling : who know nothing of intrigues to seek ad vantages oflheir fellow man or their own self aggrandizement . I repeat shall they now be deprieved of all that is desirable iu life ; their joyous propects forever blasted; tied hand anti foot, cast into outer dark ness. to grope their way along fifes toilsome journey, aud finally sink down into an un timely grave, unwept, unhonored and un t sung. , Failure of crops’, heavy taxation and the ! streightened circumstances of our people, places it out of their power, as now requir ed, to pay tlie fourth of all their debts. A continuance then of the stay law becomes an absolute necessity, even if nothing more was done to prevent the sacrifice of prop erty for debts made during and before the war, or law'cM, desperation and blood shed will be the inevitable consequence. It the Legislature fail to take action, or ; the Supreme Court decLre null and void the stay law. then a Convention of the ! people to save themselves is the alternative ; to avert great trouble and a scene of terror, i Durine the late bloody drama, even in ! darkest hours of the struggle—while the storm was howling m all its fury, a high regard for law and order was observed, j unparalleled in the world s history. But. dark will be the day when the decrees of j Courts are disregarded and lawlessness j reigns supreme. j This matter of Relief to the People. ; reaches the hearthstone of every family.— Those not affected iu a pecuniary sense cannot be otherwise than deeply concerned \ for the preservation of our race and the salvation of society. I cannot believe there I is a solitary member of the Georgia Legis- j lature who will jay, by I'-itt ,tr)f trust the prnpJf' If bound down by constitutional restric tions, throw this vast responsibility back upon the sovereign people and your skirts | will be dear, whatever may be your own peculiar views. Oh no, my countrymen, live or die, survive or perish, let us never be afraid to trust the people. I would not presume to dictate to this honorable body—my object being to pre- j sent the necessity, rather than the practi cability of this great question. Vet I would venture to suggest, if you doubt your jurisdiction in the premises, policy j and wisdom demand its reference to a body | elected with a view to its adjustment. Tens of thousands of our people failed 1 to vote at the last election, they had not realized their abject poverty ; were not cog nizant of their perilous condition ; un aware they were trampling on dangerous grounds, beneath which was raging a burn- i ing volcano. That memorable period in ; the history oil icorgia, the 19th of January, • is.jl, was the day that burned forever the I | obligation of all contracts and. promises to pay, based on property lost by the disas trous termination of the war. To start an;/lit in the sef'lenient < t this momemtous ■ queition icemust start at the starting point. ! It could hardly have been worse, that j every foot of land in Georgia had been con | fiscated, than that the country shall now fall into-the hands of those who will show. | no sympathy nor mercy for the debtor. t Banks made insolvent, by domination of I State or General Government, should be ; relieved of liabilities when the people get 1 | relief; of penalties, when imprisonment j for debt is abolished. Some Banks are , j buying up their notes at a few cents in the j dollar, that might he made to disgorge ! | something more, if pressed to the wall as j | is being done with the poor unfortunate j | yeomanry of the country. ! A few prominent journals in Georgia are I crying out: '"Ridiculous mid impossible ’ \ j harping of the unconstitutionality of any j | just and really practical relief. This is a ; ! waste of printer s ink, and will check the j progress of this cause about as much as the I ! beying of the cur to stop the rising of the I | moon. Onr people are honest, and would ! j gladly pay their debts. They know what | is just, and they know their rights, and j will dare maintain them. “The voxpopuli \ | is yet powerful, and not to be rudely tarn- j | pered with. " The exalted opinion I entertain of the | magnanimity of the Georgia Legislature ! i forbids the idea that you would wilfully, I j either by action or omission, plunge the i ; country into a state of anarchy and despe | ration,. by throwing open the Courts for the | collection of debts during the coming year. The noble generosity shown by Northern j creditors to Southern merchants is worthy ■ the highest commendation. “Do unto \ others as you would others should do unto j you goes by default with many of this j class of our citizens. “Pay me what thou owest ’ is their demoniac cry; many of ! whom will grind down to starvation their | debt ors for the last dime—principal, profits, : and interest. If the morrow morning’s rising sun could ! dawn upon our people free from debt, a i spirit of enterprise and industry v/ould spring up unparalleled in the history of | Georgia. j If we would give succor and aid to our I own blood and kindred, we must not de -1 prive them of their ownership in the soil. : If we desire to hand down to posterity pure, uncontaminated Anglo-Saxon blood, : avoid the dangers and horrors of amalga mation, the contemplation of which must i chill the blood in our veins, we must not, ! oh we must not, reduce the great masses of our people to bankruptcy, beggary and starvation. . In this dark hour, when the howling winds of eviI_ rage furiously around our glorious old ship of State, threatening the peerless fabric reared by our ancestors, oh, for the sake ot memories past—memories of the sacrifices and sufferings of our peo \ pie—let us stand by each other as brethren in the vale of poverty ; let our legislation he wise, humane and politic, suited to the wonderful change that has been wrought. We should not await the passage of a Bankrupt law, which would not meet our condition if adopted, nor should our people bo reduced to this humiliating extremity. I [is Excellency, the Governor, has made : not even the most distant allusion in his j i message to this vital subject of Relief.— | | This strange omission will strike the people | of Georgia with profound astonishment.— We find, however, in reading through the voluminous pages of that document, judi ; cious counsel on our national affairs. He says: u lt behooves us above all , to keep ourselves in proper relation with the supreme rider of the universe .” It is true, while murky clouds overshadow our political j horizon, and muttering thunders arc heard ! ; in the distance. _We are but inactive ob- j | servers of the mighty events transpiring, | j and must recline upon that Almighty be ■ i I ing—■ “That rides uj on tho stormy sky, i And calms tlio roaring seas.” Our people are groping their way in j darkness, weighed down in agony of soul. I Many ol the noblest of earth among the j aged are being buried, and many have al- ] ready been borne to the grave by the heart rending contemplation of home lost forever, j In this perishing world of frail humanity, j no word in the vocabulary of language | lights up the heart with so great delight, j { But alt, what, gloomy shadows enshroud \ j the soul when all that is dear in life has i 1 past away. i _ Gentlemen of the Legislature, I stand ; ; in this time Honored old capitol of the j ! glorious Commonwealth ol Georgia, where | I I stood nearly twelve months ago, plead- j I ing this cause of humanity and civilization. | I And 1 will beg leave to say in conclusion, if i our ruin is. to be eonsumatod, the great i masses of our unfortunate race to be crushed down, turned houseless, homeless wanderers on the earth, oh, let not your garments be stained with blood wrenched from the hearts of your poor , conquered poverty-stricken countrymen. Impartial Suffrage—-Position of the Pres ident. W asai .\ i (ton, November 19. —The Y\ asliington Republican, which has the honor of representing the opinions of the President, has, in its issue of the f 9th, the following : t Suffrage should he conferred by the States, that right being guaranteed to j each State by the Constitution. Andrew i Johnson is in favor of qualified suffrage in j Tennessee as a citizen of that State. ” lie | authorized us, in behalf of the Chief Exec | utive of the nation, to urge qualified suf frage for three classes of colored men of ] this District, in April last, and at his sug | gestion we renewed the proposition again j in July, only about one week before Con- I gres* adjourned. We took special pains ! to notify several Radical Senators and liep j reselltatives, who were anxious inquirers on the subject, that the President was in favor of the plan proposed in the Repub lican. The Radicals were afraid to touch the question, and went home to their sev eral States and blackguarded the President, and declared that he was opposed to ex tending the right of suffrage to the black I man. | Andrew Johnson is in favor of more for the black man in Tennessee, as a citizen of that State ; he suggested to Gov. Sharkey, ; of Mississippi, more for the colored men of | thrt State, and requested and authorized ; us to urge upon Congress, at the last ses | sion, more for the colored men of this Dis- I trict than Charles Sumner, or Henry Wil | son, or any other Congressman of Massa | chusetts ever urged for the colored men of their State. No colored man who fought in the Union army, or who owns property, | no matter how much, can vote in Massa i chusetts unless he can read and write. ; President Johnson goes beyond that. He | is in favor of granting suffrage to all colored | men, wherever the_Constitution gives him ! the power to do it, who can read and write, or who served honorably in the Union army, or who owns property to the I extent of two hundred and fifty dollars and ; upwards. ' The only difference between the Presi j dent and Congress is, that the former be j Sieves tba\ under the Constitution, each I State has the right to settle the question of | suffrage for itself. Congress assumes the i right to impose it upon the States, Consti | tution or no Constitution. South Carolina Items.
