"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 in far ns retrardn Air Winiher I "'Ve'are amply able, gentlemen, to achieve - 0 1 egc*ras ivir. v miut r | aUf , ceg8 j n tliis campaign alone through the lev's nrl'mle character is coiiocrnpd wo Democratic, organization, but 1 have ii liable leys ,.rivd,ic cnaiaciei is concr 1 neu, wi assuranoe that, a i al .gen„ni be r of intfillhrent and have never heard against it ; us a revenue office, one Viresih ntiereH 1 patriotic colored citizens of tiie district will tne Dream uuereu ] retuse to draw the “color line” in this canvass. it is 1 They will support your candidate for two rea- ; sons : because Ids personal and official relations c' ai tiled that he has saved our people 1 with them have been marked by a spirit of kind- • ness and perfect fairness, and because they are rn ch money and trouble by his kind tired of wearing the collar of a few Federal of- J . floeholders, win, in the name of Republicanism, admiuis'ration of his office. In politics have heretofore used their suffrage simply to 1 1 pr mote their own selfish purposes. We are on Col.

Hud tics “oppress- sofeinnly aver tiiat 1 would not accept the otlici tinicss it be tendered through a free and a fair election. 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.” II ON.
