bve been determined By rfIc urDitramenC OF the

lie other States composing the de fdct0 govern
Bent Of the Coniederacy. acquiesced in the un-
Foidable consequences Of the struggle.
While believing in the right Of the states TO re-
Ern TO the Uuion on terms OF equality with the
other members Of the Union, with the privileges
Ind immunities Of all her citizens unimpaired and
proiected under the Constitution, the people ac-
cuiesced in the plan of reconstruction thought
Necessary and prescribed by the president, al
fhough the pains and penalties imposed on the
best citizens we're regarded unjust and oppressive.
Passively yielding to the executive authority of
fhe United States, the people OF Georgia proceeded
DO organize State government in harmony with
Innd in obedience 70 the terms OF the presidents
plan of construction-complying with every
EcoBditon-ratifcsti0n Of the emancipation of
slaves reputation of the legal liabilities of the
State and recognition OF the validity Of the public
debt Of the United States.
Reconstruction under the congressional plan Is
an accomplished fact; our representatives elected
under and by virtue Of that plan have been ad-
mitied into the Congress Of the United States.
We deprecate the highly inhammatory and yio
lently abusive character OF certain poitca al publi
cations and public speeches which undQly iahame
and excite the passions and prejudices of both
races. We depTecate the criminally false asser-
tions IN the public prints aud in public addresses
made for the express purpose OF arousing
the hostility Of the negro race against the white
race. We deprecate the advice and suggestions
given by men who, In many instances, are not
identified with the interests Of the State, which
have induced negroes 10 arm themselves tor their
defense IN the exercise Of rights aud privileges
which il is falsely asserted majority of the white
race desire to wrest from the negro race. We
deprecate the fact that men among us persistently
|peryert and exaggerate facts drawn upon imagina-
1ion for marteria for publication, give to the world
<fissues Of falsehoOd, tending to produce abroad
the false impression that there is little protection
or person property, and little security for life
fnd liberty in the State.
We assert that il is the purpose of the white
people of this State TO faithfully protect the ne.
gro in the enjoyment OF all the rights priyi.
sges and immunities guaranteed him by the Con.
etiiutOn and laws Of the United States aud the
(onsttuton and laws Of this State. We assert that
theTe is no purpose In any part Of the State to
impair the constitutional rights OF the people
peaceably 10 assemble for the consideration of
eDy matter, or TO obstruct any portion of the
people in the enjoyment of any other constitu.
tonal right or privilege.

bier and calmer times we should have been glad

inverse 10 taking risks out Of the pale Of ordinary
mercantile transactions.
