IM J??& JfePfe MONDAY MORNING; MARCH ll, 1867. GOV. BROWN'S SPEECH. Wepubliab below the speech of ox-Gov. BBOWS. of Georgia, delivered at Atlanta, March 4th, in. de? fence of his recent letter. Tho subject ia ono oi such vital interest that we feel bound to lay before our readers all that is said by men who aro entitlec to be heard :n reference to tho policy of tho Soutl in regard to thia bill. We endorse most heaitih Gov. BBOWK'S advice, that there should bo no strift among ourselves, and that if there is to bc differ ence of opirion, the discussion should bo withou passion, and solely, in reference to the best interest! of our unhappy country. Mr. Chairman and Gentlemeu :-In response t< this call, coming from my neighbors, and I trust '. may say my friends, I will not decline to sa: something, and in any remarks I may make I wil say that I do not intend to wound the feelings o any one present. I think this is a time when it ii much better to pour oil on tho troubled waters than to excite the flames of passion and at temp to divide our people by angry strife. Remembe: that Congross has already taken action whirl places all of us under a 'military government Remember that in a very fow daj s "tho President in all probability, will feel it to be his duty to plac< over the military district of Georgia, Alabama ane Florida, a man whose will will bo the law of th< land ; that it will be a matter of discretion witl thi? commander whether he will allow any om charged with oflences to be tried before any of th< civil courts, of the State, or before a military tri bunal,-where the punishment and the modo of itt infliction viii be alike determined upon in accord ance with military laws. It may bo a puni slime n of fine an imprisonment, or with ball and chain or any other adopted in the army. Gentlemen, this is not child's play. It is a seri ons matter. It is such a state of things as yoi and I have never seen in all our past fives. Ii view of our responsibility, then, is it becominj for us to quarrel with each other, or to indulge it a spirit ox fault-finding, or of crimination and re crimination? Is this the time to stirupangr strife among ourselves, or to take each other b; the throats ? "Would it not be better in this stat of things, if we differ, to differ respectfully, am if we discuss, to discuss calmly and with modera ? tion? The great trouble with our people seems to b that they do not recognize the fact that they arc i conquered people, and that they must submit ti whatever terms the conqueror imposes upon us They forget that they have no longer any power o resistance, and that they must submit to tb powers that be. The struggle that has ended b; the triumph of the arms of the United States Gov eminent was one which had ita comm cue iment b a division, of opinion-that has existed '.-ince th formation of the government. It had its origin h the diff?re nt theories of Alexander Hamilton am Thomas Jefferson, and raged with more or les fury until it broke o nt in the late unhappy strif which has. deluged the whole country with blood The controversy could not be decided by Congres or by the Supreme Court. It was left for the s won to decide the question.. We appealed to that a rbi trament, and i ho decree is against us. Congres now Claims that, as the war-making power is con tided to it, so also must the power to make peaci be confided to it; and Congress has maintained it supremacy by the passage over the President' yeto of the Bul which has just become a law. .Gentlemen say, we will appeal to the Suprern Court. But what woidd such an appeal le worth Do you not remember a few days ago, if the news papers report correctly, that Governor Peirpont of Virginia, made a requisition upon Governo Fenton, of New York, for the surrender of a vio lator of the laws of Vkginia ? Governor Fentoi refused on tho ground that Virginia was no legally a State, and that the question was carnet up before the Supreme Court, who held it to bi inadmifli table, because a political one. It is alt < said the Supreme Court has resolved to decid? no more political questions, but to leave them tc the other Departments. As the issues involvee in the Sherman Military Bill are political ones it ia hardly tobe expected they will be d?cid?e by that tribunal, lou will also remember that Congress-has passed an act that whenever va? cancies occur on the Supreme Bench, they Bhal not be filled until the number be reduced to seven. AB the Supreme Court is now constituted, a ma? jority of the Tr>stices have ruled the test oatt xmconsti tntionaJ; out three of them, Justices Nel? son, Grier and Wayne, who concurred in th? ruling, are now old men, physically infirm, and cannot te expected long to occupy their positions. When their positions are vacant, a majority of the Supremo Court will most likely entertain political opinions ni accord with the party now in power. 1 think, then, that the South bas but little relief in the present emergency to hope for from that august tribunal. Then: present docket, as I was informed when in Washington, is sufficient to en? gag? thiiir attention for the next two years, and it will be in their power to put the cases which may arise under the Sherman Military Bill to the foot of the locket,. and thus avoid a decision till reached in their order. During the whole of that time you will be under the Mil: taxy Bill as it passed Congress., I kn cr v that I am slandered and misrepresented, and my motives attacked for the course I have felt it my duty to pursue on this question ; but I pass by?ail imputations of the kind as theidle wind that I regari not. [Applause.] They say I am not consistent. I admit it And who of us is ? I was born in South Carolina, in Mr. Calhoun's Instrlot ; and wafi reared in hi? political failli, and sincerely believed that the doctrines which he taught were the true principles of this Government. But tao sward lias decided against the doctrines of that political school, and wo ought to acquiesce. I waa reared a secessionist, bnt I bow to the decision of the aus rust tribunal that diotates between States and nations in ?he last resort. I am not, there? fore, a secessionist now. [Applause] Therefore, gentlemen, I am not consistent I ao not claim it The man who sets himself up to be consistent at all times, .and nuder all circumstances, in my judg? ment sote^^TT8?^ Thai which is expedient to-day, as a matter of policy, may not be expedient to-morrow. As an illustration: would anybody in this audience, ten years ago. have thought it expedient that negree?-should be allowed to testily in courts of justice, where white men were concerned? Clearly not Then they were slaves; but since that th cte they have been made as free as you and L- Would anybody, ten years ago, have thought jt expedient, that a negro should be allowed to sue a white man ? Clearly not. But now the case is different Then he bad a master to lc ok after his rights; n?V.hejnust look, after, them himself, and he must have them; and if ?hey are denied him, ' ha must have the right to sue for them. [Ap? plause,! Then we are not consistent. Who is there ihat ? ten years ago, would have advocated the &l olition : of - slavery in this State ? But- now that measure has been adopted by a unanimous Tote. An ordinance to that effect has been passed _ by the Convention of the State, and I db not re? member whether it had a single opponent. Every man iu Georgia, then, by his . representative, has -voted for the abolition of slavery, and every one -who tia been pardoned under .the Amnesty Pro? clama) ion of the President has laid his hands upon the Holy Evangelists and taken an oath that he would" abide by it Why did you do it ? Be? cause the fortunes of war were against you. The tribniaB of the sword bad. decided against you. Were 'any of you consistent then ? " I think not. Is li man degraded because he submits to this Sifl? My friends, let us reason together upon this subject It is, indeed, very humiliating, especially to some of tts who are disfranchised by the Bili; but is there anything degrading in it? When Na? poleon Bonaparte, wno fought as gallantly as ever man fought, was overwhelmed by superior num? bers, he surrendered to the combined powers of Euro] ie. Ho was humiliated, but he was not de? graded. Was .General Robert E. Lee degraded when, after his forces had melted away,'phalanx by ' phalanx, he .surrendered to General Grant? Let us look ito this 'illustrious example. You say that although you have ; surrendered, you will not do what the conqueror requiies. You will simply- do nothing, . and submit to whatever folloirs; but General Lee did not do this. After he hi td surrendered bia sword to General Grant, whoj ?tis reported,' with a magnanimity that has seldcm been equalled and never surpassed, re? turned it to him with expressions of admiration and sympathy. General Lee did not put himself vpmhis. dign?y and say, I am conquered; I am at your mercy; do with me as you please, but jest assured I will do nothing; X. will never dis? grace myself by doing what- the conqueror re? quirer. I am in your hands, sfrj but I will carry out Eo terms you dictate. Ou the contrary, Geh. Lee inquired, what terms will you give me ?. Gen. Gran tr informed" him substantially that he must take a parole to abandon the cause for which he hadJbught so gallantly, and swear never again to take up arms against tno Government of the Unit? ed Stues, which he had for the last four years at? tempted to destroy in the Southern States. ' When the terms were offered, Gen. Lee and his gallant veterans accepted them, and acted upon them, as the best they could do under the circumstances. "* Gen. Lee's course then was not consistent with his former course. Had be stood upon consisten? cy;, atad refused to act or sign the parole, he and his gallant comrades must have gone to a military prison and been tried for treason. What he did was humiliating to his pride. But the condition of tho conquered is always humihating. Did any one say that Gen. Lee, by acting upon the terms, had ilegraded himself, or forfeited the respect of othera, how much more degrading is it for you to accept and act upon the best terms you can get as conquered people ? v -J?app?,8e you refa8e t0 ?eeept tho terms of this Bul, will you get any better ? When Congress prestmted to ns the Constitutional Amendment which disfranchised but a small class, and we re? jected it, did it present to us the same measure aloni a second time? No! But they said, you have refused this measure, and now you shall ac? cept it and universal suffrage too. Suppose, row, you refuse to act upon the pres? ent ofter. What may we expect but goneraf dis franehiBement of all who engaged in the rebel h?% *w fi g^al.Confiscation Act But it is said that the.Bril disfranchises a largo class of our ellow-citizens. True, it disfranchises a large and highly intelligent class. Who are they? It dfs franeshises all who were members of Congress or officia of the Umted States who had taken an oath to support the Constitution of the United States and afterwards engaged m the rebellion. There were few United States officers in Georgia prior to the war, except postmasters. But it disfranchises ?very officer of the Executive, Legislative and Judi? cial departments of the Stato Government who had taken the oath to support the Constitution of tho United States and engaged in the robcllioii. This embraces all persons who have at any time been Governors of States, members of the Legislature or Jr.dicial officers. In the latter class is embraced all Judicial officers who had a right to try causes, from a Judge of the Supreme Court down to a Jus? tice of the Peace who bad taken said oath and afterwards engaged in tho rebellion, as we are now obliged to callit whatever may have been our opinions. But there is a .large class of officers who are not disfranchised, although their offices re- , quired them to take an oath to support the Consti- i tution of the United States. i i?o man under twenty-seven years of age is dis- I franchised ; because a man had to be twenty-one ?earij old to hold an offico that required him to ike the oath to support the Constitution, and it has now been six years since the war began, f Jieitiier nubba officers, nor county officers, not c *t - ? udicial, pro disfranchised, aa Shoriffe, Clerks, Tax collector*: and Receivers, County Treasurers, Con? tables, Coroners, Koad Commissioners, Notarys Public.&c ls it not bettor, that the .olaaae* em? braced ~in the disqualification submit to it than that tho whole masa of white men who aided in the rebellion be "added to the excluded class, and the property of the whole people confiscated? I do not feel that it is degrading to submit to the ternm of tho couqueror. It so, all who hear me are already degraded. You all took the amnesty oath, when so required, io savo your property and avoid punish? ment. Why did yon not then discover the degra? dation, and adopt the do-nothing, dignity policy, which gentlemen now talk so eloquently about ? Those who acted then should have a little more charity fen- those who propose to act now. Why did not gentlemen put themsolven upon their dignity and manhood, when required to abolish slavery, repudiate the war debt, and abrogate the ordinance of secession, which we had passed with so much defiance ? If wo could take all that and maintain our "self-rospooiI think we may take the bal? ance of tho doso, wliich we are informed shall be thc last, without malting as ugly faces as some of us now make. Let ns put a little sugar-coating around it and swallow tho pill at once and be done with it; waiving the "dignity" for a time, as we nave so often been compelled to do. Those who have taken the amnesty oath and voted for all these measures, now claim that they have done enough. So we all thought, but the conquerors say not, and it is our misfortune that they are in position to decide that question for us without consulting ns. At the close of the war, part of us were arrested, and for a timo we had net the option of leaving tho country. But all of you, gentlemen, who were not under arrest, had that opportunity. The way was open to Mexico, Brazil, Canada, or Europe, or to any other part of the world. Why did you not all go ? I suppose yon stayed either from choice or necessity. Many had aged parents, wives, or children, or all together, for whose support they were responsible. They had not the means to go and carry them to a strange land. This class-a very large one-If they had no other attachments to bind them to the country, remained from neces? sity. A very large class, no doubt, remained be? cause, with all its faults, they still loved their na? tive land the best, and were unwilling to oxchange this land with its government for any other. Most of those who then left have since repented and re? turned. We then choose this as our government, and again placed ?hrselves under its protection, What follows ? It is our imperative duty to give it our allegiance, and to support its flag wherever it may wave, against every enemy, foreign or do? mestic. There is neither manliness, dignity, nor good faith in any other course. A now era has dawned upon UB, and whether for weal or woe, we must act our part, and make tho best we can of the situation. We must accommo? date ourselves to circumstances. God has given ns a magnificent country. It needs development. We lack labor. We lack capital. Let us invite both. And when Northern and Western men come among us, let us treat them as friends. In war we were enemies. The war has ended, and we are again under the same government. Our ancestors were the same. Our blood the same. Then let us do all in oar power to heal the wounds opened by the war, and as little as possible to irritate. This is the only way to advance our own prosperity. ?.Tho more population we have, and the more thrifty, the more valuable is the farmers' land, the better the merchant's trade, tho more patients the doctor has, the more cases for the lawyer, the bet? ter the freights on the railroad, and, indeed, the better for every interest of the whole Stite. I am assailed because I have recommended our people to do what the conqueror requires on the sufirage question. Men are gravely discussing the question whether the negro shall be allowed to vote. This is a needless waste of breath. Con? gress has settled that question for ns. We have no power to prevent it They are now voters. That is not now tho question. It is, shall the great mass of our white men vote ? If we accept the position and act upon it, the ballot will remain in the hands of nine-tenths of the white men of the South. If we refuse to do so, it will be taken from them and given to a very small class of white men and the negroes. Dur? ing the war the blacks net ed nobly. We sent our white men to the field, and the negroes, who knew our failure was their freedom, stayed at home and acted as protectors to our families, and made a support for them and their masters in the field. Their fortunes of war have placed thom upon terms of civil and political equality with us. Many of them have nursed our chil? dren, others have been The companions cf our boyhood, and our servants in manhood. Their interests and our** mott be hi a great de? gree identical in future. Whit sense is there, then, in such action on our part as will alienate them, and make them our enemies. I think we had better keep their friendship, and show them by kind and just treatment, that we are their beat friends. In giving this advice, I trust I may not be considered as selfish. I am not courting their votes. They have no right to vote for me, as I am ineUigible to office. I am caught on three horns of the dilemma, if you will allow the expression, as I have been a member of the State Senate, a Judge of the Superior Courts, and the Governor of ray State, and 7. have taken an active part in the rebel? lion. While I may be denied the political privi? leges of a citizen, I am not unconcerned about the future of the country. I have children, relatives and friends who are not disfranchised: ? I wish to Bee their government and their country the best it can barnado. A few words in reference to the right of the Gov? ernor and L?gislature to call a Convention. It is contended that they have no such authority, be? cause the preamble of the Sherman Act declares our State Governments illegal. But it will be seen by an examination of the Act that the body of it dealares them legal, till Bet aside by Congress. By the Shellabarger amendment it is declared that the ' pre lent State Governments are provisional only, subject to the paramount authority of Congress. Kow what is a Provisional Government? lt isa temporary one, subject to be set aside, but legal while it exists. The intention of Congress, no doubt, was to declare the State Governmets, as organized by th? President, illegal, bat to legalize them temporarily, till Congress thinks proper to set them aside. Any constitutional act, therefore, which may no* be done by the Government and Legislature, is legal. lt may-be said the Governor is subject to the constitutional amendment, and therefore disquali? fied. This may be true ; but it does not yet ap? pear. So soon as that fact is established ho may be set asido, but this does not abolish the Execu? tive omeo any more than the resignation of all the Judges in 18?0 would h ve abolished our Supreme Court, or that the dea h of the 'incombent would abolish the office. Charles J. Jenkins may be de? clared ineligible, but that does not destroy the Government of the State. Till he is so declared by the authority having power to enforce the Judg? ment his nets are legal-made so first by the Presi? dent,1 and then by Congress. Upon that point, at least, we have now the con? currence at both Departments of the Government. Which is right and which wrong, in the contest over this question, it is not my purpose to enquire. I do not stand here at this, hour to praise or to censure either. I stand here to bay what, in my judgment,.is best for Georgia in ber present condi? tion; I do not think Governor Jenkins should hesitate to convene the Legislature-to call a con? vention to comply promptly with the requirements of Congress. Wo should then elect a delegation to ' Congress who oan take the'oath land take their seats. When this has been done, I am satisfied the test oath will be repealed,' but never until' then; . ... In conclusion I have only to add, that I give no advice to others that I am unwilling to act upon. Since the surrender I have taken the amnesty oath, which I did not feel, at tho surrender, I would ever consent to do. I am satisfied I did the best that I could have done under ther circumstances;; and 11 feel fully conscioua that Ihave done no act d.k'??B-~; loyalty since th?t':tiin?? T "have k?prmjf oath* reli? giously and sacredly thus far, and God being my helper I shall not violate j it in future.
