than that of Gen. Cobb.
The following were among the re-
marks in the lengthy speech deliver
ed by the Hon. b. II. Hill at the
Democratic mass meeting, at Allan
ia, Ga, on the 23d inst.
You, gentlemen, who think you
are members of a Legislature-poor,
deluded souls, how pity you You
who come here and go through the
form of passing laws, want you to
hear one thing. Not only is that
doctrine of unequal States in the Chi.
cago platform, but it Is in what you
call your omnibus Admission bill.
That bill prescribes the manner in
which you shall 60 back, and every
one of you who voted the other day
to get back, as You say, into the Un-
ion, agreed to the doctrine that Geor-
gia shall never have the right to do
what Ohio can do; that the Southern
States shall never have the right to
do what the Northern States can do.
You agreed to remain forever an un-
equal member of the Union. You
agreed that you would get back into
the Union by consenting that Geor-
gia shall never have the power to
modify or change her own State con-
stitution, as to her own domestic af-
fairs accoraing to her own will and
pleasure. A voice. "They didn't
know any better" All, you rene
gades-you rogues-who tried to
steal your neighbOrs' property and
could not do 1t. All, We men that
adopted the Reconstruction measures
for the purpose of getting back into
the Union and then catching the Rad
icals changing the Constitution after
ward. Are you not caught-caught
by Thad. Stevens-caught by Charles
Sumner l don't know but one
thing that is worse, and that is agree
ing 20 be a negro, to get rid of your
debts, and thon aftcr becoming a ne
gro having your debts to pay. Cheers
with cries of "good." Remember,
oh, my countrywomen-mothers,
teach it to your children as you rock
them in their cardles and in the nur-
sery ditties, by which you send them
to sleep-tell them that men--white
Neutrality-suspicious. of them to
the manor born, have come upon
this classical old hill and have delib-
erately put upon record their solemn
that the proud old State of
Georgia goes back again into the
Union on the express condition that
she shall never be equal to other
States. Oh, you reneeades from
everything that can make you hope
for even O chance Of being gentle
men. You have buried the sover-
eignity Of your State; you have sui
lied the characters of your ancestors
and agreed to make vassals of your
children. You have agreed to wear
a Radical yoke in order to vote your
selves eight dollars a day for few
hot days in summer. But we have
a party now organized, a strong and
q glorious party, with statesmen at
its head and with correct principles
for its platform. From Maine to
California the glorious tramp of the
Democracy is growing more and
more distinct, and by November a
verdict will be pronounced by the
great frecmsn of America that shsll
gladden. the hearts of patriots now
and forever. Cheers. And when
the people shall have pronounced
that verdict, the Court will take
courage pronounce their judgment.
Then-ah then, what will become of
you, ye isolated hypoerites; all pow
er to threaten gone, treachery ex-
hausted. Relief measures and Re
construction measures are both dead,
the Radical party out of Con-
gress, how on earth will you hide
your shame thus stripped naked 70
the gaze of the world in all your I'M
hidden infamy what will become OF
your "Ye generation or vipers, how
viii you escape the damnation OF
hell?" That's what is coming. Oh,
it's coming: thank God it is COM
ing-coming to the cheer Of patri-
OTIS and dismay of traitors. Yes,
1 tell you victory is coming
We have suffered, and suffered
much; our comrades are sleeping.
All, sleeping. many of them by the
streams and in the valleys OF Geor-
gia. They are sleeping on the banks
of the deep rolling Mississippi; they
are sleeping all over Virginia, grand.

richer than the mines of India. En-.
