Before this hat WAS made
King Ge, rye was on lis lrone,
Our fathers all were rt bells then,
And fought with Washington,
The Tories cheered for o d King Geor
The Revolution through;
AID hr"gged about their loyalty,
Ere thus old hat was new.
Wien this old hat ras new,
The sons Of that base crowd
Revived the cry Of ''loya',y,"
Aud beloved it aloud;
The government our fathers made
For them would ne"er 60;
And they have torn is bu warks down
Siucs this old hat was new.
When this old hat was new,
There was no Public Debt,
No greenbacks took the place Of gold
No millionaire had ye.
H's pile Of seven ihr,ies made,
On which no tux was d'e;
But each man fairly pai his tax,
hen this old hat was new.
"hen this old ha. was new,
Elections still were free,
And every man was thought to have
A righ, to liberty.
Arrests were made by course of law,
Trials we're speedy, too,
And Seward rang 10 little bell,
When This old Lat was Lew.
When this old bat was new,
This land was 10 its rrime;
Mscegrn.tion was untau.ht
In all this happy cline;
Wbste folks were tho ;ght as good
As Sambo, Cuff, or Sue:
Bu' things hav sadly changed about
Since this Id hat was new.
When this old hat was new,
The poor white man was free,
Aud every year bran nav bay

But n"w. tor every child he ha..,
He = taxed t.it all 10 blue;
But things | Tell y'n were 1, so
When his old hat was ncw.
When this old hst was new,
G"ld dollar, did abound.
And not stamp in all the land
Could anyv here be fuu y;

Eg The Atlanta .New Era contains the
following from the pen of an eminent
jurist of Georgia, on matter OF grea'
interest at this time:
Who ARE AFFECTED BY THE AMEND
MENT.-It is believed our people do moi
generally understand who are affected by
the Constitutional Amendment and ex-
Guided from Office, and from the ballo,
box by the late bill.
The following persons are excluded
1st. All persons who, before the war
we're members of Congress, or officers ol
the United States, and afterwards engaged
in the rebellion.
2: All persons who, prior to the war
were executive, legislative or judicial Of
6cers of the State, and took the like oath
abd engaged in the rebellion.
4 This embraces Governors, members OF
The Legislature, and judicial officers from
ajudge Of the Supreme Court down to 8
Justice Of the peace, who, at any time
held the office and took the oath and af
forwards engaged in the rebellion
Who, then, are not excluded? 1st
No one is excluded because he held al
office under the Confederate States, from
President down, if he does not fail within
one Of the excluded classes above speci
fed. The simple fact that he was Con
federate Senator or a Confederate Gen
Gal, or that he took an oath to support
8e Constitution of the Confederate
Mates, does not exclude him. oe
i 2. No State or county officer is eXclud
ed on account of his having held the Of
fec and taken the oath and engaged in the
rebellion, if he were not an executive
legislative or judicial officer; therefore
Ncither lawyer sheriff, clerk, tax col
kctor, receiver, county treasurer, coro
ner, surveyor, constable, or road com.
missioner is excluded.
3. AS no man under twenty one years
Of age, when the war began, held any
such office as disqualified, and none Of
them took the oath to support the Con
stitution Of the United States during the
war, and as the war commenced nearl,
six years age, no man in Georgia under
tFsnty seven years Of age can be eXclud
"a
s&4. Militia officers are not excluded.
5. The whole mass of our people who
fall within none of the excluded classes
above mentioned, are free from the dis
qualification, and may vote and hold any
0nice in the State without regard to thu
part they took in the war
