[Loud applause in the gallery ] I’m goin’ back borne to my people To give in a fa’r, squar account, And tell ’em we’ve ansurred their pray’rs To a sartin, specific amount ! 1 don’t know what others may do, sir, To balance both sides of their books— I’m runnin’ a dead level skedyule— And you must run on your own hooks ! [Cheers from the members.] We’ve fixed up a thing about homesteads— We’ve perfected the laborer’s bread— Crooked the lii.es of fifty odd counties And knocked the con. con. on the head ! We've spent enough money on dog bills To buy all the sheep in the State— And made a dead set at the bureaux That it took long years to create. [Croans fiom the gentleman from Banks.] We’ve sat forty days and some over, And tit i.ere and wasted our breath, While the people at home are sweating Under taxes that grind ’em to death ! We’ve tinkered and patched at ihc Code s Till it’s worse than no code at all— And piled up more acts on the desk thar Than were writ by the good ’Postle Paul! [Loudapplause in the lobbies.] And now, sir, I want it recorded, That I’m sick o’ this here soi t o’ tiling, And 1 want the good people of Georgia To speak out with the old time ring!

Hick, Ga-, Tuesday, February 17th. 1870. Gentlemen of the Convention , and FcL low*Citizens : It would atl'o'd me a profound satis faction to be able to congratulate you on this'occa ion of our se meeting, up‘Ui the happy condition of the State and of our peculiar interests. For much the larger portion of the life of every member oi this body, wo have been accustomed to regard the normal condition of our j eople to be that of pecuniary independence. Till a short time ago, it never occurred to our mind that any danger could ever exist in this land of superabundance, that men sii uid be oppressed with anxious con corn aLout the necessities of life. Such a thing as wide spread scarceity we uev cr dreamed of —lor tluu was never in cluded among the possibilities of cur Society. Coma erciul aud financial af fairs might bec'cme critical or deranged —but w ere not the underlying fort ues and interests of our agriculture invati liabfy secure, and in these was we not always insured '( As an agricultural people we had the amplest guarantees of success. Our staple pn ductions were of rare value. The world were forced tj take them of us and our labor which produced them was in the most material particulars the best organized and most variable which was ever controlled* by man. But alas, how changed are all the fuels of our previous history Strong men a>x* now bowed before the trials of their condition, and every where and all around us we see anxiety and care in the ‘shadowed vistge of a once happy and independent people.— Though "we are perplexed we ;re not in despair,” and though “cast down, we are nut destroyed ” Apathy and ir resolution must not follow upon the footsteps of an evil fortune an i confirm the late v hiedx untoward events it would seem h .and decreed. Courage, my friends, should be the pass- word, and a manly' ly purpose, to continue to struggle until we recover our lost ground should brace every Georgian fir the noble work ol restoration. But uiy friends, let us deal fairly with each other. Providential visitations have not along afflicted us — the injuries w hich we have suffered from external violence and wrong are not the only dama t e which has fallen upou us. A-' your presiding officer I have on a previ ms occasion offered a plea in be half of our di.-abled and discouraged agrieul ure, which was founded upou the unexampled losses and revolutions which the entire South suffered iu the late calamitous war. It would, indeed, be asking for a sim per human amount of energy —resource and wislorn in our people, to hive no where around us the signs of the awfui ravage and convulsions which lately shook the very foundations of our so cie y. Our hopeful* stvugglj against appaling losses —our energy our indus try aud will, have been beyond ail praise, and we do believe we may say, beyond all example. Aud to the over throw ef our system of labor aud ,He Truth Conquers All Things.” actual obliteration of property by the civil conflict, we have no doubt we may most reasonably ascribe much of the discouragement which now afflicts us. But admitting all this, are we blame less ? Is no reproach due us, for the speculative spirit which we have suffer cd to enter our pursuit ? Have we proved ourselves to be of that conserv ative class which was willing ‘‘to hold fast to that which was good,” while others were ‘‘trying all things ?” Let us be truthful,und admit that while we have “hastened to be rich” w’e have thereby “pierced ourselves through with many sorrows.” It does seem that the natural condition of the farmer is to lead a life of pains taking labor, in which no sudden or extreme results should ever be looked for. But the compensation for this stern condition is solid and suie independence. If no ambitious love of glitter and dis play is tolerated by the austere require ments of our life as farmers, we yet may hope for those genuine returns in the fruits of our labors which carry most comfort to the human breast. Whose home should more abound in the joys of peace and unrestricted abundance than ours ? \\ hat better nurseries of manlv self reliance and impregnable m< ml principal than our modest farms ? Fur uch a life as this, for the immovable status of the sturdy soul that is planted firmly on its own fat acres, who would not be willing to move slowly on and to “watch and wait ?” To be deaf to the cry of “hard times” and the rate per cent, of loar.cd money, who would not be willing to meet the toil of the farmer ? To be dumb to the outcry of anguish, such as the overburdened heart of the debtor must tell, who would not covet the life off ugality and restriction which our Un tunes impose on us ? Idy friends, let not the false glitter of speculative pu’suits blind us to the great truth that to our slow, but sure, progress in working out our fortunes depends the wealth, and indeed, the very existence of society. But our routine is a fixed one ihe conditions of success are inex (ruble. A theme which embraces the vast and vital interests and well-being of so large a class of tr.e agriculturists of Georgia involves a “high argument” indeed. No intellect should essay its discussion without dis trust and many misgiving?—hut no head or heart in the land should refuse its tribute of aid or sympathy. No one certainly of all our number can be more conscious than be who addresses you of the inadequacy of his powers to meet the great questions which arise out of the dejected state of our agricultural interests. But I may say without pre sumption, that it would be imposs ble for any one to feel more painfully con seemed than I do i t the condition of the country, or to be more ready to do his best for its improvement. If f were asked for suggestions bearing upon the subject before us I should compendi ously state them and say we must have steady sjstemizod labor—strict economy and personal oversight in our business as the indispeusa de conditions of suc cess. Th ere can be no escape from ! these conditions if we hope for the lot of the independent and happy tiller of the soil. Let me be indulged in a feft thoughts upon each of these topics. If we observe the lmbus of Lminess so to speak, of every other profession and pursuit into which our laboring world is divided, we cannot fail to remaik among th.e very first trails, that there has been a system revised fur controlling labor and that this system is insisted on as vital to success. \\ hat would become of an army without an inflexible adher ance to a system ■ How long would the merchants last without it, or the success oi a print establishment ? Nut a manufacturing or mining interest could exist without hours and tasks, and waste and profiit and loss were all strictly noted. Indeed all true and sol id busine.-s men’s success mainly depend upon a wise cc >n;miy of time aud morn-y In adhering to this vital 1 principle il lias not frequently happened ! that an entire outfit of appliances in a manufacturing bus.ness lias been dis carded to make place for newer and bet ter devices, and for this alone. Compe tition and true economy made this sac rifice a necessity Lave we gentlemen, even in our experience as agriculturists observed that cur business has been conducted upon any such true working system 't iUw many of us are picpared to speak with any certainty of the costs of our 1 .st crops l It is plain to and > this we must Have, in a degree, imitated the example of other callingis which regard thorough system as indispensable. What a lesson is taugat us by the contrast! — If so large a per c.uitage of mercantile enterprises fail with ad this particular ity and exactness in business detai’s. and so few p anting or rather farming eet u pri-es fail, even without care, how well g satisffed ought we to feel at the pos sibilities ol‘ our condition. Never was there opened up to a la boring world a better insured, a more hopeful enterprise than farming in Georgia, if directed by the same ener ey and vise oversight that, as a matter of course, are bestowed upon any other avocation. But we hope to succeed, or at least a large mnjoiity of us do even though we violate or disregard all true business rule. What might we not ex pect of the yearly agricultural experi ence and effort of this great State. If every farmer and planter in it kept a set of books, io which was noted the vshole routine of business, with an exact -tatement of our gains and our losses? Do we then exaggerate the value of steady and systemized labor iu the farm ers life ? But if these busy trials in the farm er are recessarv to a successful career, if we must labor and do so by a system and steadily, the fruits of our labor must not bo dissipated in wastefulness or unwise consumption. Our observa tion is, that it requires great wisdom to apply to fit and proper uses money hand What to do with it is hardly a less diffi problem than how shall I get it. What labor has it ever been to the mind i‘hat watches over tljj well being of a State to proportion expenditures to income— to provide what may be necessary and convenient while superfluities were es chewed—and is not the true secret of the ever recurring difference we see everywhere around us in success to un thriftiness or want of industry. Let nothing bo wasted, was the injunction of the divine Master, and at the very time that hij miraculous power fed thou sands from a mere morsel. If a busi ness relying for life on steady and legi timate profits must surely wither and perish under the pressure of an excess ive usury, so will that farmer’s business carry a crushing burden if a wise econ omy does not preside over every thing. And the underlying maxim in the en tire management should be “ let noth ing he buught. which, with reasonable care and labor, can be made at home.” W hy do a farmer’s figures so often prevaricate if they escape lying? Whj is it that the shrewdes calculator of utii number who is always demonstrating by figures on paper, that it is cheayer to buy meat with cotton at 15 cents pm pound than it wobld to taise it. hardly ever has any meat, or the cotton to ex change lor it ? It is a deceitful fallacy for a farmer on his own soil to refuse to produce a needful thing in hi? current consumption because by an assumed calculation of the value of time, this thing would cost more than it is worth Has not such delusive arithmetic a? this, almost bauished the loom and the sheep from thousands off rms in Geor gia, and hit us to the precarious and slender substitutes which men who wif hold us in vassalage supply ? Ever l , iurtii in Georgia is a little empire in it self, and it can no more violate the con ditions under which a commonwealth must live and thrive, than can largei and more august civil organizations. Before leaving this topic 1 venture 01. a few words more, in behalf of a widei and not less importantapplicat on of (he principle we have been discussing. \Vi mean nothing invidious, and much les would we introduce before this present an unseemly dcba.e, on an interdioteo text. But who can be more interested in a pure and economical government than the men [ see before me, and tin entire circle of interest which they rep resent? The man who goes to bed a; night with his last gambling stake plac ed on a certain description of stocks may rise with the sun a millionaire—; startling accident of fortune. Specula tors everywhere may reap where the\ have nut sowed, and gather where the\ have not strewn. But to those who par an honest allegiance to Mother Eart'i there can be no such hope—no such favoritism. Our dollars must keep tal ly with the drops of our sweat; and il there is a difference between the me n bers of any come unity in the amount cf interest at stake in the public ex penditure, we do think the man win tills the soil for a living possesses a supe rior interest We ask no favrrs of men if in an awer to our prayers Gud sends the early and the late rain. We want no prutec iiou hut what comes to the honest fiuits of sturdy labor—tho first and noblest guarantee of ad good government But this we do want and this we demand To sell to him who will give us m st and buy from him who will sell cheap est, ii the simple and compendious po litical ecun. my ol an honest and self reliant Georggia farmer. llow brazzenly and how long has this self-evident po litical canon been contemned and tram plod uder foot, an i we made to pa\ grinning tribute to men who have ecu tit. in choosing their lot fur lile, to b anything sootier than farmers. Self ’•espect. as well as self-interest, shuuh' impel us to be. as far as possible, ntanu facturers on the firm, and patrons o! mauulacturies at home on Georgia soil 1 he day will yet dawn on Christian civil Zition when men ot this country wilt stand amazed and almost incredu'ous, at the abuse of power—the disregard oi conscience—tho contempt f" r hurnai rights and derision of common honest\ which is implied in our tariff for pro tection. What wonder that any agri cultural State in the Union shoule stagger under a load of discouragement when every other interest levies an in tolerable tribute up-m i's hard-earned reward. In iis simplified a States foi protection is only softened rolbery softened only in the graceful and poht indirection by which the villainy is cf fected. As it is a law of the mora v orld—inexorable as any in the phsioa world, that one sin begets another, \si see that after the Government has foam arguments for committing its robberie> on us, its servants very soon de\ i-e< ways and means for robbing the Gcv eminent. Our name is cast out as evil and the once boastful declaration, i am an American citizen, 1 ' is turue< to reproach from the tnurmom and blush less criminality anil dishones ty of our recent official history. Hov the material interests of the Uniter States c n be kept from ruin witl boundless speculations super-added t endless dissenci uragr m nts ef our agri cultural iudustry, is more we fear tha> m *rtal wisdom cun auswer. bile it is sadly true that our power as citizens and voters can make but fee ble impressions upon this huge-evil, we ye.t can make very marked impression upon our own domestic a.jd State ectn omy. !• irst of all, begin at home.— See what must bo done, and what lias been left undone. As far as corrective wisdom can accomplish reform, let us struggle for independence till.every farm in Georgia shall be redeemed from to, cumberanec and stand conspicuously displayed as a self-sustaining power.— treasury with jealous care an all tendency curb Private econ omy will .keep the State’s cy to wasteful uses of the bard earned money of our people. If vice begets vice, the converse of this pr pisition is likewise true, and men may ever look for the purest t:nd wisest government where good men and women most abound. \\ t, hope to be pardoned for the strain v c have imposed on your patience in giving expression to this portion ul what we thought it locum bent to say. Wo only' a sic a few- moments in cali your attention to tha concluding branch of our subject, a cl se and per sonal oversight cf our own business.— Uur labor system, which was in some respects the most strikingly distinguish td in its results which ever existed, gaie ise to some ideas and modes ol conducting business of the plantation itid farm which in no manner agree. ,r Cjn uiade to agree, with"the changed condition of labor as we must take them now.

Bet, no shallow crit ic at this hour repeat the stale and flip [taut abuse which once abounded in the ifo and labors of the (southern farmer file Susid ana undeniable faets are. that ■t is life and tncso labors for three rjuar ters <fa century were the main spring t Americas material prosperity; tin rue expression of them was the' evolv ing of a society where universal ahum was the iu!c where boggory was ibsolutely unknown, where tJmptaiiom o venalty, and plunder must have been are iudeed, Ur honor and honest deal- were the rule of almost every nan s life. j hat lile and those labors l.aue a garden and hap> y home of most T our beloved Georgia, and an absolute aaradise of this part of it Under the system our men were trained to practr u affairs and true state mam-hip, aud nstead of tho depredation of labor as ietructois and marplots asserted falsely aever in the history of mankind wen labor and capital better or more genor usly harmonized. But let it pass, as past it really and forever is. With courageous hearts and a selUrespeet un u.paired, we now turn our backs on the Viecks and demolition of the last fifteen .ears, and address ourselves to a recon -ti uction w Inch shall have none of thi aiaiks about it of the oppressor and the marchist. V\ e begin then at the foun latii.n. xVo man need talk about infiu nee who is in a death struggle with poverty and want. Neither may a peo ple hope to be regarded as a factor in •ivil rivalry and struggle whose broken tor tunes excite the pity of mankind.— !o be ficanoia ly strong is to be strong ndeed and strong in almost every other pay. We propose in Georgia to be just this by inaugurating and strength ening measures in fhis body which shall pervade our entire territory. We in loing this grand work, must love’our eaiting and devote ourselves to it for tie If agriculture is not a science we never cease our aspirations in trv ng to make it one.
