sentative man--will cast his INN cnse
power and Influence into the scale of
equal rights and popular government,
and will leave the States, when re.
organized, the undisturbed manage
ment oftheir internal affairs, including
the questions OF suffrage, police. regu.
lation of labor, etc. l therefore re-
commend the people of Georgia to
give his administration generous
support.
also recommend every citizen who
is allowed to do so and who expects to
remain in the country, to take the
oath and qualify himself to vote and
to participate in the future Cow
ernment of the State. Suppose the
mass of our best citizens refuse to take
the oath and qualify themselves as
voters under the modes prescribed by
the President, what will be the result?
The few who do qualify, whatever
may be their character, will elect
delegates Of their own number to
represent their respective counties in
the Convention which is to shape the
Constitution of the State for the
future government Of all. I think all
should take the oath and observe it in
good faith, and do all they can to
elect their wisest and best men as
representatives, that all the different
interests of the State may be peotect.
ed as far as possible and her honor
and credit maintained against unw;se
and unjust legislation. Many con.
scientious men object to taking the
oath because they believe the procla-
nations and acts of Congress during
the war on the subject of slavery arc
unconstitutional, and they are not will.
ling to swear to abide by and support
them.
1t must be remembered that the
la:e proclamation Of President John
son tenders pardon to all who are not
excepted, if they take the oath. The
pardon then is conditional, and while
the President does not Interfere with
any ones opinions on the constitution
al question, he requires as condition
to the extension Of cle,nency that he
who receives the pardotf and is allow.
cd to retain the balance of his pro-
perty, shall give up his slaves. The
proclamation Of President Lincoln
declared the slaves to be free. 10
abide by and support it is simply to
treat them as free. Every intelligent
man in Georgia who has taken the
pains 20 investigate the question must
see that Is now at an end. The oath
simply requires that each so treat it:
The other portion of the oath is not
Objectionable. Every man should be
willing to support the Constitution of
Government if, he intends to live
under it, and to act the part of good
citizen. If he does not he should seek
a home and protection elsewhere.
will only add in-conclusion, that I
shall carry with me into my retire>
mont a lively appreciation of the
generous confidence which you have
so long reposed in me, and my con-
slant prayer to God will be for your
prosperity and happiness.

citizen and ohedient servant.

Tho Richmcnd papers arc advertising for a

Of the rebel Congress have opened commnni~

Of the Union army have caused this undigni~

have been dispersed by Richmond mob be-
cause they would not vote to arm the ne.

one thing We may be tolc1ably sure-they
have not run away to enlist in the Confeder~
