cred before the ''Sodicrs' Association at WAL
hala, S. G., on the 22d ultimo:
Il have placed before you the record of the
South and that OF the North. Let the world
decide which is entitled to honor-which TO
shame have drawn in dark colors, but alas |!
il too true ones, the condition Of our country,
aud now turn to the discussion Of what 5 tiould
be our policy In the anomalous condition in
which We are placed, it Is matter Of great diff
Gculty to mark out the proper course for us to
pursue, but there are certain cardinal principles
of which we should never lose sight. The first
OF these is, that as.wc accepted the terms offer
ed to US by the North in good faith, we are
them fully and honestly. They are none the
nnscrupulous party at the North refuse to &C
cord to Us our just rights. Letus, at least, prove
ourselves worthy of the rights we claim; let US
set an example Of good faith, and we can then
appca! with double effect to the justice and
inagnanmity of the North.
These virtues, | would fan hope, are not to-
tally extinct among that people, and there are
brave men there, who are battling for justice,
for constitutional liberty, for the equality Of all
the States, and for the rights Of the South
The only hope, not alone for tie South, but for
freedom itself, on this continent lies in the sue
cess of this party. We are their natural allies,
