RADICAL TYRANNY ASL ,NTRIGuH,
II there ever was a time when united TO,
liIical resistance TO tyranny and fraud
presented the only means ofrclief 10 an OPP
pressed people, that time Is the present,
To speak Of any other means of resistance
SO long as this remains, Is madness, The
people Of the South are PROSTATE with Mill
iary defeat aud many sorross, Yet ~
such time, which or all others magma
nimiiy would select in which 10 dispense

ardiy assailel by every device Of iyran"y
known To cunning minds, The soldier who
met you In the battlefield as an aVowed
enemy, now that the battle Is over clasps
hands with you In fmtenal regards aud
both forgiycs aud forgcls. one would SUP
pose the trouble was all over aud peace had
come at last. Not so. The crawling and
imported myrmidom OF the land, the native
nposisic, the negro syeophani, the jaekals
aud hycnas Of siciely-all that class which
'Iicnj the pregnant hinges Of the knee.
That thriIt may follow awning
p.c let loose upon you TO harnss you with
,yrannical laws 10 intcrrup; your return
Ing lots for the old flag Of the Union, and
change IL TO bitter call and hatred ! to
place your necks beneath the feet OF an ig-
noranl and servilo class Of another and m
inferior race, and render you the helpless
victim Of the vileat crI5 hhl tho most de-
graded passions.
Such is the tendency of radical lcgisla-
ton since the war. II IL needless for me
to recount the particulars Of the recth-
siruciion proceedings. They still remain
on all hands, more strongly than my poor
words can do, TO testify
"llaus inhumaniy TO man.
The yllainy aud pcriidy which has thrice
moridcd the proud old State Of Georgia IN
to such an amorphous ncnentiy as could
only result from tho craft of those who
we're alike tyran,s and fools, needs no Fl csll
rehearsal. ltu know it all, ua museum.
Time enough when happily, if ever it shall
become story OF the past, to arouse the
passion Of patriotism by It's further rceitai
But later measures Of the same school OF
cruelty and vcngeiul spite demand more
circ,tmstantial review. | allude TO the ht-
tccnth amendment bill, the naturalization
bill, and the host Of petty mcaeutcs-such
AS that tackled on to the Miscellaneous APP
preparation Bill providing that evidence
of pardon and amnesty shall not be recciv-
ed in suits before the Court of Claims
which are designed TO harass and victimize
the South and keep alive these. cmbtiered
rtlings which n wiser and noblcr policy
would have sought to forever destroy.
The Fifteenth, Amendment bill is so plain
and hagrant violation ct constitutional
rights that even its authors cannot expect
il 10 stand the test Of judicial review:
do not hesitate to say that wten it comes
before the Supreme Court it will Ge con-
lerred as n violation OF those reserved
rights of the States which the Constitution
secures. 1t could, therefore, only have
been designed III view of the pending cicC-
ton, ant! ns ieans TO perpeluate the pow
er Of the Radical party. 1t encompasses
you about with SO many pitfalls as to i'll
sure your falling into some one OF thcm
and then, OF course Ill ldpc is gone. The
slightest informality in conSressiona
election is enough TO defeat ihe Democratic
candidate and give his office to his kndlcn'
competitor. All this legislation is intend
ed to intiame and disgust you; TO keep OF
turn you away from tho polls, and to per-
petuate your suiierings. lfyou can only
be soaded to the point of resistance poiit-
icnl capital at the North Tiil bc mahulac-
tured out of the occurrence:
Bat know yoti too well to believe that
these arts will succeed. AS politicians, the
people of the South have never been cx-
cclleL. The Southern heart is laden win
sorrow but its mind is still as keen and as
acute as ever. Whatever may be said oil
the Southern people, no one can charge
them with lack of intellectually. These
cunning laws are dealing with no igno
rant population. Let liz resolve 70 study
and con form to them, and thus TO deleat
their malice and secure the victory that
awaits us. This once secured, we shall
never hear of the law again. THIS lost,
and misery will be the only name for
long future bef5re u5i
The naturalization bill, though probably
designed more particularly to annoy our
Democratic brethren at the Nerthi Is cal.
culated TO deprive the South Of tic political
support of the Immigrant population, who,
in spite of her troubled condition, are 1T
| ,racted within her borders by the brilliant
bror,ises 1r her favored climate and exu
berant soil. let our Policy be in this case
os in the other. II this bill is enforced, let
il be obeyed. But let us also resolve 10
meet crrft with craft and cunning with
cImninr. Above all things, DO not des-
pair. The inclina alton TO sleep when the
storm surrounds US and the snow blasts
wrap us in their cold embrace is almost ir-
resistible. The tired frame, fatigued with
unayailing strife and contention, and lull-
| ed by the echoless silence, sinks into an
alluring and welcome repose. Bat this re-
nose is death; and death 10 community
means oblivion; the loss of liberty ind hap
niuess to its successors; the arrest Of pro-
rress 10 rra;,kind. No; let US meet these
evils rs become men, and they viii disnp-
near before our united iron, as the mists
! OF night before the concentrated rays Of
! day.
The unjust and spitefal legislation which
seeks 10 deprive Southern claimants Upon
tbe federal Government Of their just dnes,
I I will dismiss with word. IL is not worth
further regret. The South e1isied before
{ Inc Federal Government, and IL VII cen
tiuuc 10 exist long after the Fedtrai Gov
