JOSHUA HILL.

We observe in the proceedings of the Georgia
Convention, that the Hon. Joshua Hill con-
tinues to maintain his consistency as an mn
swcrying Unionist. 1t will be remembered that
this gentleman was representative in Congress
from Georgia at the time Of Secession, and OPP
posed the principle and dpolcy of that movement.
When his State passed the ordinance, Judge
Hill was her only representative who refused to
obey the cdict contending that his paramount
allegiance was due to the Union. lie consc'
oucntly served out his term at Washington.
On returning to Georgia he, encountered the
same storm which swept Stephens and ii. "
johnson into the revolution. But the noble
champion of Unonsm in Georgia, like BoHs oi
Virginia. remained true to his faith. And we
find him still true as steel, an honor to the coun'
try. n credit to his State, and man whose
pnrity OF life aud heroic devotion to principle
dignity human nature. Will any one inform Us
why man like this, ripe scholar and dlstn-
guished lawyer, should not be placed in . posi-
ton of commanding influence in Georgia

be made and every word of it is literally true.
Taxation without representation sounds
much like the Declaration of Independence, but
il is hint which has been forgotten at the
North ever since l716. We wonder, since
colored men cannos vote in Philadelphia, or
rest their tired bodies in the car, whether the

Manly Men.

Under this heading the New York CONNER
c;aL Aduertiser, journal deserving the favor
tie conservative epithet of ''sound," if it can
be applied to any American newspaper, has
the following remarks on common petulant
criticism in regard to the conduct of the
emancipated negroes:
Certain snobs of the Southern press write
chronic complaints that the negroes, in place
of showing thankful, humble disposition for
their freedom, assume airs of equality, and no
longer take the gutter when passing White
men. These complaints go far toward estab-
fishing the claims OF equality of races, and
certainly prove that emancipation came not a
day too soon. The colored people would be
unfit for freedom if they still presented the
cringing attitude of slaves. For our own
part we never fully appreciated the life-ser-
vices of Abraham Lincoln until we had con-
nected the manly bearing of colofed people
in the ferry-boats, in the railway cars, and in
the streets with his policy. The negroes may
perhaps be somewhat extravagant in their
demonstrations at their too long deferred free
dom. But much may be pardoned TO men
who ind themselves for the first time in pos
session OF themselves, their wives, children
and earnings The only wonder is that they
STOOD the wrong SO patiently and take the re-
dress SO quietly. Under the circumstances
they would not be wholly inexcusabla If their
heads touched the stars, and their tread sbook
the armament.
