Georgia.

From q private letter dated Macon
Ga, January 18th, we make the fol
lowing extract:
''This town is now full Of negroes:
it is % point where they congregate
to meet employers, who gather from
all parts OF the state in quest of hands.
One thing is certain, the late slave
states cannot get along at ali, unless
they retain the labor Of the freed ;
men. The necessity Of the case Is
rapidly solving the custom Of en-
plovment 1t is quite necessary for
tho negro to be employed; thus DO tn
races are coming together, Were it
not for the papers, preachers and
,comen, things industrially and po-
litically would now be very different
from what we find them.
There are many more contracts be
ing made for labor this year than
expected to find. Wages are very
low, from fifty TO one hundred dol,
lars a year. The necessity of the
case compels both white aud black to
this course. There are many of both
races in all these states that must
have help, or they will starve The
number is less Is his state than in
any other ] .nink. There is plenty
of corn IN the state to feed all the
people, yet there is largo number
who have none. All blacks over ten
years will take care of themselves.
Justice, right and policy demand
an instant repeal of the cotton tax
on the crop Of 1867"

4'haddeus Stevens on Suffrage.



DEAR SIR So far as | took any
position with negro suffrage, it was
and is that universal suffrage is an IN
dEienddte right, and that since the
amendments of the Constitution, to
deprive the negroes of il would be n
violation Of the Constitution us well
as OF natural right. True, | deemed
the Fastening of the bestowal of that
franchise as very essential to the
welfare OF the Nation because with>
out it believe that the Government
will pass into the hands OF the rebels
and their friends. and that such an
event would be disastrous 10 The
whole country.
With universal suffrage, | believe
the true men of the Nation car
maintain their position. Without it,
whether that suffrage be impartial
or IN ,cdy qualified, | look upon ths
Republic as likely to relapse into an
oligarchy, which will be ruled by
coarse Copperheadism and proud
Conservatism.
/ have never insi sted that the fran
elise should be unjustly regulated Sc
as to secure a Republican ascendan,
cy but | have insisted, and do in
sist, that there can be no unjust reg
ulation of that franchise which will
give to any other party the power il
the Republicans are true to them
selves, and do not fall into the usual
vice OF cowardce.
The Republicans, once beaten into
minority by the force of negro pref
udice, will never again obtain the
ajority, and the Nation will become
despotism.
Iours very respectfully,
THADDEUs sTEyENs
