"THE BURKE 81TUATI0S."
"Whom the gods determine to destroy they
firs; make triad.”
A w:itcr in the last issue of the
Herald makes a fearful attack upm the
Deinocnatic party of Burke county for
no other reason under heaven than be
cause ti ey tefused to be dictated to by
a h tidful of “bos'es” who claimed the
right (o command, and who issued their
edicts to the people with as much assu
rance as ihe Autocrat of Russia com
mands his surfs. Besides this
blood curd ling attack, our writer bolds
up several prominent Democrats of the
county to public ridicule, and finishes
the job by virtually reading at least
nine-tenths of the whi e Democrats oat
of the party. The e men have never
acted with the Radical party,except pos-
*ibiy when they obeyed the dictation of
the “bosses,” and voted for Colquitt,
they have always votd tl.e democratic
lieket, and now, we ask in cool earnest,
wiiat is to be the test of Democracy in
Burke county ? But who made you a
judge of 'he purity of other men’s De
mocracy ? Do you not think you are
assuming a very large undertaking
when you attempt to drive 'he whole
people into your views? We must
hem notice a Iiitie discrepancy between
our wri'er’s present statements and the
position lie.d l-y his squad only a few
days ago. The attorney representing
the mimrity delegation claimed before
{.lie late Congressional Co .vention at
Savannah, tiiat they represented a large
majority of the Democrats of Burke
county ; he now styles himself “an op
pressed minority,” and says that the
majority has “disfranchised” him
Aill be 1 el! us who and how he has
been disfranchised? As to the “op
pressed minority,” the principle that
minorities must yield to majorities is
not only the corn r stone upon which
r sts die whole fabric of Democratic
.principles, but that upon which rests the
very existence of the government—both
I- tate and national, and he who at
tempts to force the will o 1 ' tho minority
over that of the majority is prepared to
dis. upt the government, and hand
over :o the rabble and the mob. Ho
is. therefore, not a Democrat, but an
incendiary with lighted torch who
s'ands re dy to burn down the fabric
of our government. And this the ouly
logic there is in our writer's teachings.
Early in the canvass it was generally
understood that there were to be no
nominations. The danger of that pol
icy was plainly poituel out and recog
nised by th-masses of the Democratic
party of Burke county—it was to save
the county from a fud Radical, and per
haps colored delegation in the next
Legislature, of which we stojd in emi-
n 'lit peril. The colored vote is quite
liree to one in tfye county, and the ne
groes had all tho time said they would
nifpoi'1 what they termed three liberal
Democrats, provided no uanimations
were made, but that they would noi
apport a nominated ticket. Every
thing seemed to work smoothly, and
•quiet reigned in Warsaw,” After the

It is not necessary for me to discuss here the
principles or the practices which divide the two
( greet parties f this country : they are known
crats to have taken the field, in our of all men. Nor is it important that I should de
ed minority” not pressed nominations,
and have allowed three .iber • 1 Demo-
judgment they would have been elect
ed.
The attack on Dr. Perkins and Capt.
Cox seems to be a valve by which our
writer rids himself of a considerable
amount of spleen. The attack on Dr.
Perkins is more a sneer at, the intelli
gence and honesty of the Democracy of
Burke county than anything else. The
Doctor has been sent to represent the
Democracy of this county in the Legis-
la;ure for the past four years, and they
must be simpletons indeed if they have
not been able to discover whether he
was the man they wanted in all that
time. The attack on Mr. T. S. Blan
chard is evidently (licta*ed by petty,
personal spite, simply because lie differ
ed with our writer in opinion, and had
the manhood to say so. While our
writer is attempting to cast doubt and
distrust upon the political ch .racier of j
Mr, Blanchard, but a few days ago he
was considered a good enough Demo
crat to be made the presiding officer
over the deliberations ot the State Sen
atorial Convention at Millen !
Our writer having proved to his oj.cn
mind that the Democrats of Burke
county were a set of dishonest fools,
next turns his argumentative powers to
pioving them to be under the influence of
the liquor dealers, and tips the beam
1 y applying to them the epithet
of “moral cowardice.” Great God !
what an awful character this writer has
given to the citizens of Burke county !
We have always doubted the prohibi-
iary policy, but it is a question alone
for the people. To make laws to pro
hibit the sale of liquors in this county
while it is surrounded by counties in
which it is allowed to be sold, would in '
our opinion, be an unjust discrimina
tion against, ilie business and business
men of our county The time, how
ever, has not arrived for us to take cur
position on this q .estion.
Our writer has constituted himself
a critic and an inquisitor of other
men’s acts, he lias set h’upfelf up as
judge of other men’s rights, he has im
pugned tho political character and hon
esty of a large majority of the Demo
crats of Burke county, and nil this be
cause they differed in opinion and re
fus d to ob iy the mand-tes of an ex
ceedingly small “oppressed minority.”
Let ns say to our writer that, the
men whom lie honors by his umerciful
censures are as true Democrats as he is,
and their political honesty as f.r above
suspicion, and the scepter hus forever
departed from the “bosses.”

flne my position sis to either. 1 ean ssiy, without
vanity , tiiat my firm adherence to the principles
practices and traditions of the Democratic party
is above question from any source. My official
record mav he criticised ior lack of ability in
discharging official duties, but I believe tiiat
it will be conceded that they were faithfully a id
zealously discharged, and that 1 impartially
represented all classes and conditions of our
people.
The Representative of this, the seaboard dis
trict, lias an unusual amount of labor to perform.
Ti e interests involved are more varied and
more important to tiie entire State than any
other Georgia i.i. t,riet. He is not only charged
with the general business o 1 legislation, the in
crease of mail facilities, and more than the
ordinary amount ot claims and department
work, but it is his special province to foster
its maritime interests by securing necessary
appropriations to develop its fine rivers, harbors
and coast line, that its great seaports—Savannah,
Darien, Brunswick and !St. Mary’s—m y be open
ed to the commerce of the world.
If the people Honor me with an election to this
responsible office, they have my assurance that
its duties will be actively and earnestly discharg
ed. 1 thank you genlet lemon for the k nd manner
in which you have conveyed to me the will of
the convention. With the expression of high es
teem for each one of you, 1 have the honor to be,
Yours, most truly. John C. Nicholls.
