A Georgian correspondent Of the Lou
isviIIe Courier speaks as follows, Of a late
speeeh made by HENRY WILSON, at
Augusta, Ga:
The sensation Of the week IS reading
Wilson'S speech, for very few heard It
axceut the colCred citizens, for whose
benefit. and TO catch whose votes, It was
evUresslv written. 1t was the most in
s1lent. vuIgsr. false, and Infamous eCm-
Dssitiau from beginning 20 END or
which even Wilson of NatiCk has
ever been guilty. Unless we
come up promptly to the cap
tsiu's Office and pay q passage TO
ultra raGicalism unless we worship Ply
mouth Rock aud the Niger, and open
and ugblicly ~reuOuuCe "a ~wlckedness
and falivT .sic in the speech Sd help.
him WILSON, God, he will vote 70 con-
fscsts as EolsS 5g7nS, make a territory OF
Us sure enough, and Keep Us out Lor
an indefinite period. He told Us inst the
radicals loved rs with q te~LCeruess that
yss quite astonishing; that ali we naVe
lost and suffered has been In conse-
agpnce Of orr own acts .III swear We
did not steal The spoons which Butler
has with u names ana cypheTs on
them. and that. considering u
crimes. we have suffered less thsu any
people in the universe. He gave us sew
arai touches of Massachusetts, told us We
must stand the school marmsi and that
more were ON the wav 10 stay with as,
That every man I'm Massachusetts, can
read and write, and that lots OF q boys
i'm gray when ia northern prisons were
obliged 90 make their mark. When
Wilson ran bowling in terror from Bull
Run he was afraid some Of these buys
would make their mark for him, and II
Is a fact that they did make their mark
on several occasions. when they were
not IN northern prisons When 1
read this boast Of the superiority OF
Massachusetts, education over that or
Georg1a, remembered some letters
when I SAW picked up in a yankee
camr. iE which oar Georgia boys made
their mark uv eieotjDg tine tHeTd't in q
hurry, written by Massachusetts, soldiers,
particularly one addressed 20 4" Ny dear
sister, ia which tie debased beast in
formed his sister, in the most lascivtous
manner and disgusting lsnguage Of his
QUi0lrS with negro weuches, aud Of the
lows he anticipated when ne entered
Richmond If this is the effect Of Mas
sachusetts education, God preserve US
our boys who only make their
mark"
Wilson was introduced by Blodgett,
who did not on this occasion state that
he did it sat the request Of friends.
The few GeOrgians who went to hear the
radical missionary must have been
ashamed of themselves when they beard
the miserable Natick cobbleT abuse their
state and their most distinguished citi-
Zaps, and tell them that they must
Get instruction from Massachusetts,
before they a be considered
thoroughly civilized, and even BiOd-
getu must have squirmed q little,
particularly when he thought Of that
battery which he commanded when be
waspossessed by 4" w-ickednessand folly
But Wilson comes TO c0uCiliate and re
construct, Since he Z" got religion " and
quit drinking whisky he is trimming
over with the milk Of human kindness,
and gives vent TO his piOUs impulses by
melting the negroes 70 INSTRUMENTATION
and violence, promising them oUr con-
hscated lands rs q reward. You will
find the speech in full in the daily Press
Of the 9Th.
A few more such harargues win give
the no c0uveutiOnists a sweeping major
iry In the state. l know a dozen who
have been rather We2E-kneei, aud did
not see " what better we could do who
now, that they have read Wilson, viii
vote no convention both early and often.
Our Joseph ought TO tell his friend that
Augusta Is not Nstick, and that though
We cgu d" only make 0ur mark, we are
not exactly the whipped ours for which
he seems % take Us. Unless Wilson
changes his tune, the brick stores and
the Root mansion, % al Atlanta, may
be conhscated yet.
