Captain Dunlap Scott recently made
Seymour campaign speech in the
Georgia House of Representatives.
He closed as follows;
The time was when we all thought
the North was against us, and that We
must submit to the terms of the con-
querers, however degrading. That
time has passed. Already she has
given unmistakabls evidence ef her
returning sense of justice to an impoV-
erished and down-trodden people, and
of her loyalty to the Constitution and
the Union. Her vast host of brave
and gallant sons-the flower of her
people and the chiYalry and manhood
of her soldiers-are already marshaling
for the contest. Already her signal
guns have been fred from her great
metropolis, and their reVerberations,
as they roll in thunder tones from the
Pacific to the Atlantic, and from the
seaboard to the mountains, bid US to be
of good cheer, stand firm, dispute
every inch of constitutional rights left
US, until the re-enforcements reach US.
There is no retreat for US but into
slavery. We are in the last Thermop.
yle of our political existence, and let
us hold 1t till relief comes, OF, like the
brave Spsrtans, die in its defense.
At the Georgia Democratic State
Convention, many ViCieut things were
said. Among them the following by
j. III. Ramsey, of Columbus:
We have aroused in our might
once more, under the leadership of
Seymour and Blair, to raise the Con-
stitution form the dust. Georgia had
passed through a fiery ordeal. Some
of her children, during the war she
was compelled to wage, dserted her
and Joined her enemies. Let them be
like Arnold, forever accursed. We
have seen our soldiers fall, our cities
in flames, our citizens torn from peaceful
homes. We looked upon it unmoved
and unblsnched. But we can bear it
no longer. We will now, at all hazards,
recover our lost liberties and restore
the State. We are in the midst of a
great revolution, which may end
peacefully at The ballot box but ifnot,
then the true men of the South will
rally once more around their now
folded banner, and will try the issue
at the cartridge box. Loud and en-
thusiastic applause. Remember the
ancestors from whom you sprung.
There are men in the North who are
now truly with you, and who will, in
such conflict. if necessary, lead your
battalions. We did not make the
other war, it was forced upon us. We
simply stood for the rights for which
our fathers bled? And we will stand
there again, come peace or warl Loud
applause.
Ben. Il. Hill, at Atlanta, after long
and bitter speech in support of Frank
Blair's revolutionary doctrines, declar-
ed;.
When liberty shall return, when the
law shall be again respected, and good
men shall be again our rulers, we must
gather all the journals. and constitu-
tons, and enactments of every charac-
ter, of the conventions and assemblies
thus forced upon us by force and fraud,
and usurpation, and, catching a FIRE
from heaven, burn them up forever
And right here, my ccuntrymen, l
want you to understand that l am q
candidate but for one office on earth.
Several Voiees-"Name it, and you
shall have it." When the glorious
day shall come, and the free women
and the free men, and the proud
youth of Georgia, shall gather together
10 fire the miserable, hideous record
of infamy, let the Office be mine to
kindle the flames. Tremendous
cheers, lasting several minutes.
