had not the means of relief among ourselves.
We appealed to the humanity of the people
of the North and they responded with no
BILE and generous sympathy. Our agents
who went among them to represent our des-
titution, distress and suffering, were not
turned empty away. The people of the
North lent q listenening ear and they open
ed their hearts, and their houses, their gran
aries, anil their purses and contributed hun
dreds of thousand of dollars in value to the
relief of our poor-to feed the hungry and
clothe the naked-who, but short tune
previous, were enemies in arms against them.
Even the Congress-that fragmentary con-
clave of perjured traitors, as Mr.. Hill calls
them, appropriated larger sum to the re-
lief of the suffering poor Of the South, as
we'll as those who had been rebels Us those
who were Union men. In view of these con-
nderations, most respectfully submit that
all these mischievous, malignant efforts Of
such leaders as Mr.. Hill, and others actuated
by like motives, to arouse passion and inf1u-
ence prejudice against the people who have
acted in this spirit toward us since the war,
is bad taste, unjust, unreasonable and un-
grateful. 1t is true the people Of the North
claim to dictate the terms Of peace, and it is
equally true that if we had been the con-
querors we should have maintained the same
position. The question has been submitted
to the arbitrament of the sword. The de-
cision is against us in this high. court of
our own selection, and we are bound by the
Judgment and compelled to submit.
Then, why all tins fnstian, and rant. and
nonsense, after we are whipped and are at
feet of the conqueror, perfectly powerless A.
Why whimper and whine and snarl contin-
ually about what we have lost WHY not
yield to our fate. hard as it is, like men, and
go to work and try to build up again Why
continue to irritate those who have absolute
power over US, and provoke them to become
more exacting9 Why should leaders 80 OBJ

Georgia, including all who vote against the
Convention, will be iisfranchised; and
there will be very general confscation Of
property to pay the war debt and pension
the Union soldiers who were disabled in the
war. Tell me not that this will be no worse
than the present state of things. It will be
infinitely worse, as every candid man,
controlled by reason and common sense, is
obliged to admit. a
It is no escape to say, as Mr.. Hill and
others have said, that Congress has no
power to pass a confscatiOn act after the
war is over, or that confscation is war
measure only. There is an act now on the
statute book, passed in July, 1869, while tue
war was raging, that con6scated almost the
entire property of Georgia. This act has
never been repealed. Mr.. Stevens arraigns-
the President for having failed to execute it.
Continue to show rebellious spirit, and it
is only necessary for Congress to pass reso-
luton, or act, directing that the property
already confscated be seized, and, instead Of
its appropriation by the President to the
use Of the army, as directed by the original
act, that it be applied in payment of the war
debt and to pension wounded soldiers, and
the work is done. fit is said, as has been
charged, that my course is influenced l,y
fear of the confscation of my property, /
reply, as will every honest man who reads
this, that / have no wish to lose my pro-
perry. But if confscation must come, l can
bear it as well as Others can. I have good
profession by which can make an ample
support. And this is more than can be said
by thousands Of Georgians. The home OF .
farmer, If it is his all, is as much to him as
what have is to me, and I can live as com
fortably without mine as he can without his.
My warning, then, is against common
calamity, in which should only be COM
mon sufferer with hundreds of thousands Of
Others.
In conclusion. Ibeg the reader to dismiss
passion and prejudice, malignity and hate,
