Editort: If jou will all* * J ? *? a Iaw cnrrflri ?- me room, i ueoirc iu musca <_? * tinns for the reflection of '>ur crusli nnd down-trodden people?hut the arc so antagonistic to the general to of the Southern Press and of the Co veotions of the wise and able hea( that I fear I will be looked upon as idle, crazy man. History, from til immemorial, as well as our own sho lived experience teaches us the rapidi with which population increases. L our minds for a moment traverse o cities, our towns and villages, our neip borhoods, country churches and schc rooms and behold the rising generate coming up tl at will of necessity be o liged to take our places ! Reinemb* too, that each one f the heads of fun lies of this very day have got this gre mass of young folks in our diffcre houses and families with us. Remei ber that these your.g people, just ns i bare done, will take to themselves Ik bauds and wives. Then much the h gest number of them want homes wi laud to cultivate. It has been the sayii and the opinion of our people, in pa days, that our young folks should ma ry and go to a Dew country aud sett down and go to work. lJut the Pre of Georgh now say that for its climat health, soil, production, water powe mineral wealth, educational sdvantag nnd Society, Georgia is the pardon sp of the world. It docs my heart pood say that I hone>tly believe this. No" then, thi? ble-s;'d Georgia is almo?t c tircly owdcI by its native and a fc adopted cit'zens. When the war clnsi very many of us were eft without a d( lar or a howe, cow, sheep, hog, an e _ of core, a panel of fence or house ahclter our families. As a general tHTi we have gone to work, built up, at fenced up, are now comparatively groing in wealth again. A great ma: way, however. I hare too much land; can't manage it to an advantage; must sell half or two thirds of it.These don't think thatthoy have a he of children. Such a man will soon wa * ?i ? i ?i ?_L . r _ it wore tnan aw, ne uou i tninK 01 vw ing to sell his spare or surplus to 1) native born hardworking neighbors c time, or leaso it to them or let the work it on shares. Many of them arc i flucnced by two different motives to coarse that I mast and do honest think will prove injurious to us ar our posterity; and which will not I seen until it is felt. Some may n? think that T am getting on their toi or infringing upon their rights or th; I am an old fogv. But all I ask is, my views are worth anything, think them; if not, attribute them to ign ranee. The two diffeTt.it influences work aro as follows : One is the Pres which is alwoys inviting capitalists the North to ennin nnil invest in t! sunny, salubrious climate of tlic Soutl the other is tho land agencies. The re giving the same invitations wi inducements. I look upon this if prevails as a general policy?as biddii fair to be of serious injury if it does n ruin tho people of tho South?for se eral reasons. While I freely admit tli there are many capitalists at the Nor who, I believe, are ttuly our f'rien and would, even by their means a talent, help us out of the trouble ai bondage that we arc in, yet it is a f:i perfectly demonstrable that we all km and feel and now realize that it It been tho preponderance of capital tl has been used at the North as a lever place the yoke of infamy and oppr sion upon our necks. It is still bci used to hold it there. OF this last cl I will eyer be afraid of their lion feeling and principles, for they can j on as many faces as a Leopard has spots. Lasr ; as we part with our Ian our water power und privilcg-s and ( mineral wealth for a'comparatively i fling: amount, while, if kept in our o hands and with proper management, would b made of immense va'u**, i ottly to our children, but to our frfr * - - ?. t country. We have, in almost ev< middle and upper country more or 1 . good water power?a great deal of it a = 1 good as there is in the world, or, a nel j least, on the American continent. I fear wc will never know the value c JW ; our facilities until they full into th oS. J hands of foreign capitalists and arc pu in full operation, if land speculation t .sc 1 Immigrants prevail*. Then wc willse i,e : how simply wc have acted. Wc migli ,n.' have done all this ourselves?we am I our children might new be renpintr it ,n | profits In a very short time?we wil ue hardly mis* the time?our children wi rt de?ire to settle to themselves. If \v have sold our surplus land then we wil ,ct w'Nh wc had kept that land for th ur children. I suggest, presumptuous a * J? ?i. h- j II Uiay SCCUl lO Wiser ueaun, mat in ,01 Press, instead of throwing out no greu an inducement to Northern capitalist" b_ should admonish the people of vaiiou ?r counties o:' our own loved Georgia ' ' . jj. wherever the power will justify, t at throw thcir#initcs together into corp< nt rate companies. and build up f.ictorie i?. of various kinds machine shops am ;ve mills to make and uiHiiufne'tue wry 1S thing that we are now so dopenden ir. upon other sections for. 1 think ther th arc two great moral obligations that uu tig ' pc?p'e are at fault in. (.hie is. that w ist should endeavor, if possible, to scan th ,r. future with our most serious and sol ;j? emu judgment. The steps taken by u ;gg now may be the means ofbuildiug up ; c> glorious future for our postei ity or it ma; ,r bring them under the yoke of tlic ver no acceptance of the inducements imv | being thrown out Then I say, wi {0 ! should bo careful as ?.? what wo do f w the sake of future gcnonni. ti Th n. other is in ngard to 1 b >r. I here i ,w now a great dispn<drin to promote aoi l(| encourage foreign emigration I ibml jj. the move a paid one provided we en ur get honest, jndu>tr'Q"*?1Luiuownr-r- bo f0 if we arc to receive tlie scum of Kuropi ,j, I Jttll&irds and paupers, Heaven delive 1(j us from them. The secotid and las K_ obligation that I would speak of is on ,y J duty and obligation to freednicn Tin j ' class of labor we now have, so long hi j ' we can make the labor of the fnedooi [ available and they act uprightly am st ! honestly, it is our duty to give then nt ! the preference. Their condition amonj, r. us, without homes and moans, is no j8 chargeable to them. Many of thctn d< )C well, and no doubt the most of then m Would do better were it not for the bu? n. influence thrown ever them by carpet a badgers and other vile miscreants tlia jy have been allowed to slay in our midst ((j If these vile emissaries were out of th< )e country, it would be to the great mu w I tual bcncDt et both tno ireeumen am ourselves. Then lef fact with ctiu I tioti and due reflection a? r<> our Cut n jp | posterity and its wclluic; be [anient np hold on to our lands yet a little while 0> rest will do them good. The ti????*>001 at will he and even now is, that ever counts in Georgia can, by its own firi 0j- zen* throwing their n.ites into corporal' 1C companies build up fViorirs or 111:11111 , . factui iup establishments.
