Hecblicily, edpctiic- tipii in the use of tools the plow, tlie hoc, tlie axe. This, I think, is our duty. When it comes to bucks let him win his spurs and wear them; a man is always br.*- ter helped who helps himself. An ^.cclesiastioal politician has said that there are seven millions of negroes here to stay, and most of them unedu cated and will remain so unless they get help. It may be safely said thai there are fourteen millions of people of cur own race here tq stay, who art* unbdueateij aiul will remaiu so unless they get helped. . I am disposed to stick to our own race and help them if we can iieipat all, until they getou* of tlie meshes of ignorance, and then, with a bet ter grace aud stouter heart help the negro if he still needs help. I think it was Moses’idea to stick to his jewn race When he slew the Egyptian, hot because Moses had been imposed upon, but because the Egyptian had imposed on one of Moses’race. Geor gia, when it was ‘first settled, was known and called an ayslum for the poor. I would not, if I could, prevent the poor, but honest and industrious emigrant from the North or West or Europe from coming as king-as wc have room, but to invite them here to take the place of the negro as laborers I am opposed to that. What would i become of the negro? How long be fore (I mean now if the change was made) the farmer would be introduced to a strike? If the negro was to get up a strike it is highly probable that he would he struck; and besides all and thirst after office, be true. In short, let them thoroughly canvass the political situ ation—raid take such action as in* their judgement will lie host. They have kkn ically the same interest in public affairs that every citizen, of every profession or avocation; nnd they have the same rights and free dom of action. B it that any conven tion of farmer# will ever be called, or meet, for the purpose of turning out all office-holders slml electing only farmers, we do not believe. We be lieve,however,that some men who are now agitiiting tliVs m’attcr have only tln* above idea In view, and have their own ulterior and selfish ends in view. If Mr. B. R.
