ReIKind to the Freedmen.

No matter from what standpoint we
view the present condition of those who
were formerly our bondmen, and our
changed relations with them, we are
bound by all the motives which impel
action, to be kind to the freedmen, and
to do all in our power to improve, ad-
vance, and elevate them Intellectually
and morally, in order that they may
become useful and valuable citizens,
and qualified for the intelligent enjoy
ment of the new privileges with which
they have been invested, and the proper
discharge of the new duties these
privileges involve.
By act of Congress the former slave
has been made the full equal, political
ly, of the late owner-been made full
grown citizen. As such, he must be
recognized, and as such, he must be
treated, for, under the supreme law of
the land, none have superior or higher
rights.
But this is not the consideration
which should actuate us. We should
be moved by nobler and more elevated
and elevating motives; and we feel and
know that, with the great mass of our
people, these will be the governing
principles of our conduct toward this
class of our population.
Without any agency of theirs, and al
most without wishing the boon, they
have been made free. During the later
period of their servitude they not only
did not take advantage of our then
weakness and strike for themselves;
but plowed our fields, made and hus-
banded our crops, took care of our
property, and even, in some cases, de-
Tended their then masters and mis-
tresses. For all of this, we owe them
a debt Of gratitude which can-be paid,
and paid without any loss of selfrespect,
by treating them with the utmost kind
ness, and convincing them we are re-
ally their truest friends. And to whom
should they look with more certainty
of sympathy, and aid, and receiving in
struction, than to those with whom they
grew up IN the most intimate relations,
and who, though they claimed the pro-
duct of their labor, always provided for
their wants, and exercised over them the
tenderest and most watchful care
And why should not the former owner
still care for those who, though now
free, once so faithfully served, so sin
cerely respected, and in many cases re-
ally so loved him and his !? Who so
we'll understands his nature and his
wants, or how to show the kindness to
which the Freedmen, as class are so
susceptible, which they so heartily ap-
preciate, as those who nurtured them
in infancy, and so tenderly cared for
and protected them in old age? Sure
ly, the dictates of humanity, of former
ties, of Christian duty, and Of calm rea-
son, and even cold, calculating selfish
ness, all demand that to abe. kind to
the Freedmen is requireme mt of our
situation we may not and should not
neglect. Let us be kind to tn Freed
men.-Atlaeta Era.

the wounds opened by the war, and as
little as possible to irritate. This is the
only way to advance our own prosperi-
ty. The more population we have, and
the more thrifty, the more valuable Is

iAohA 1AC ~sN"puAS > PoAt hS4aiu
There are indications of political chan
ges, or rather changes upon political ques-
tions, that may surprise the people who do
not keep their eyes wide open. 1t is alto
gether probable that no Democratic candi,
date for Governor will be in the field.
Gov. Bullock will lead the Republicans
proper, and particularly those in favor of
prohibition, and a man who is a decided
Temperance man-which is not claimed
for Gov. Bullock-and as decided a Re
publican, though of a more moderate and
Conservative stripe, will lead the opposi-
ton, being brought into the field by the
P. l.. LIS, who affirm that they control
10000 votes. That will approach a ma
jority, if the vote is no larger than we an
ticipate 1t will be difficult TO carry the
total above 10000; and the opposition for
six weeks to come have the best materials
to work on, for there is not one man In
fifty who believes that the present liquor
law and its mode of execution should be
sustained. There is not one in hundred,
so far as our knowledge extends who is
in favor Of the State constabulary. The
very candidates who are nominated in its
support are not in favor oft, and only tole-
crate it as political necessity and most
of the men who will vote for them con-
slider the constabulary greater nuisance
than any they remove. These are not the
opinions and feelings of "rum" men, or
drinking men, but of many Of the best tenn
perance men in the State--persons who
never drink intoxicating liquors. We
could name such in this town and this
county, if we saw fit, that are known to be
as firm in their temperance principles and
action rs Rev. Mr.. Miner, or Rev. Mr..
Thompson. So general is the feeling on
this matter-so tired are men Of extreme
action and arbitrary laws, that if only
bare majority vote their honest feelings, the
November election will startle the State at
the result.
