Gov. Colo uitt on Alex Stephens.

"Governor Colquitt." says the Atlanta
Methodist Adrocate Of September 10, 1882,
sis stumping Georgia in behalf of Mr..
Stephens. The differences between his
political speeches in the South and lis
sunday school talks at the North surprise
some people. At Camilla, on the 10Th
ultimo he said:
There is installed at the National Capt.
tai an adm inistration ready and determin
ed TO thwart every constitutional measure
favorable to the Southern people. The
patronage of the government and the
great corruption fund its agency employs
are used for our disadvantage. The pre-.
sent administration of General Arthur
will ruin us il it can. The white Demo-
Gratis have brought ont Mr.. Stephens
The colored people, in obedience to orders
from Washington, have brought out Gen
eral Cartel, and now you colored are say
ing all over the State, the white folks
have put out man; let's go for the mig
ger mani l say to- you, my colored friends
don't be misled. You shall have you
rights. Rut the white people Of this
country will never consent for you to
make them subor dinate to the blacks
That will never lie done The colored
people, when talk to them about this,
reply, we can't help it. We are obliged
to do as we are told to do 10y the Repnbli-
can leaders My colored friends, you can
help it.
Now, I repeat it. the Repu blican party
in Atlanta consulted the administration in
Atlanta and was told To nominal Gartrell.
They did it under orders Of Arthur When
the Radical party had impoverished poor
its leader left Now that the State is be-
coming rich they are trying to get 1t again.
They are determined on this, aud the Ad.
ministration in power at Washington will
use all it money and patronage to accomp.
lish this object. Now, | ask You is it a
time to give way TO little petty objections
to Mr. Stephens? Why will some parties
in this portion OF the State be SO indifier.
en-, 10 his nomination, when by his elect
ton we have our only means Of thwarting
our enemies at Washington? In middle
and upper Georgia there is but one ques-
ton, and that is. shall the white race be
subject 10 the black race? Mr.. Stephens
has been and is strongly opposed to the
schemes OF the Republican party. The
leaders know IL and want to defeat him.
But what are some OF the objections urged
against him? Some say he is old. Is hal
an objection The Bible, nature, reason,
and experience taught us to esteem old
age. II will be sad day for Georgia
when her young men repndiate the old
from her counscls and her government
