ATHENS, CEC RCIA. . Friday, May 3/, /872. County Meeting. There will be a public meeting of the Democrats of Clark county, at tho Court House iu Athens, on*Saturday, the first of June, to select delegates to the Stale Convention. A full attendance is desired. Important Notice. The undersigned, the Executive Com mittee of the Athens Democratic Club, respectfully suggest to the citizens of the county, that they attend the Dem ocratic meeting to be held on SATURDAY,JUNE 1ST, at the Court House in Athens, pre pared to nominate a candidate for the vacancy in the Legislature; the elec tion to be held 28th June. This suggestion is made with the cocurrence of many leading citizens, to avoid the necessity of calling plan ters again from their crops to attend a a separate nominating convention at this busy season. EMORY SPEER, Ch’n. 'i HENRY BEUSSE, S. A. ATKINSON. J- Com. C. G. TALMADGE, I W. C. ORR, J The Meeting To-morrow. It is hoped that there will be a large attendance from all parts of the coun ty at the meeting to-toinorrow to select Delegates to the State Democratic Con vention. It will be seen that the Ath ens Democratic Club, with the concur rence of many citizens, suggest that a candidate for the vacancy in the Leg islature be nominated at the same time. The suggestion seems to ns a judicious and timely one. It is under- ttood that the candidate is to come from the West side of the river, and our friends there are doubtless as well agreed who to recommend, as they would be at a special meeting, which would call farmers from their crops at a time when every day is precious. THE GOOD WOKS BEGUN. A Democratic Club Organized. NO MORE SCRUB RACES. What will be Done at Baltimore. It is probably unwise for the papers or people of the South to persistently urge their preferences just at this time, as such discussion can serve little pur pose here, and may possibly prevent, rather than encourage the desired Re publican division at the North. Still it is necessary to calmly survey the field, in view ef future action. It is very evident that all the strength Greeley has at the South re sults from the impression that his elec tion is the only way to beat Grant.— And when it is urged that to support him is an abandonment of the Demo cratic organization, we are told that the true policy is for the : Democracy at Baltimore to. make no nomination, and leave the party in tact to throw its strength for Greeley without en dorsing him. This may not be aban doning the organization, but it certain ly is novel way to vindicate its princi ples. Is it rational to suppose that the Democratic vote of the country can be brought out under any such a shuffling and timid policy ? with all the presses and speakers of the coun try dumb from their stultified attitude —for they must be dumb, or advocate and defend Greeley—how is it possible to enlist party enthusiasm—to get men to take that interest in the effective work of the campaign which com mands success ? “ Defend him as a choice of evils”—is the reply. Such defense can have nothing inspiring in it—can never bring out the strong and full expression at the polls, which is born of devotion to principle, and which is essential “ to beat Grant” We cannot resist a sense of disgust for the glib use made of this hackney ed pretext fora total surrender. “ Any body to beat Grant”—is the entire stock in trade of the Greeley move ment. The great object in beating Grant is to get rid of his polity. Do we do this, in beating him with the man who, of all others in America is the author of his policy? We can’t see it The Electoral Tote. Below we give a table showing the electoral vote of each State under the apportionment, and also a statement of the popular majority in each State in the general election which has last oc curred in each: 9 A large and enthusiastic meeting was held at the Court House on Wed nesday night, for the purpose of organ izing a Democratic Club. From the proceedings in another place it will be seen that the organization is called the " Democratic Club of Athens,” and is designed, in accordance with the re commendation of the State Executive Committee, to co-operate with, and be auxiliary to, any county organization that may be effected, Mr. Speer, as chairman of the com mittee on the fundamental principles to govern the Club, mads a spirited speech, showing the disastrous results of a waut of organization and efficient action in the county. Dr, J. B, Carlton agreed fully with the objects of the club, but thought it best to defer action until a county club could be organized. Action here be thought might be construed into a spirit of dictation la the county, Mr, Speer responded that no such idea aeild properly attach to our action. The State Executive Committee had recommended the organization of clubs in each militia district. This was a club for the Town District, and the fact that it was organized first, was in no sense dictating to other portions of the county, hut an exhibition of Active zeal and energy, which may properly come from the county site—* good example, which we hope and ex pect our friends in the other districts will follow. Mr. Speer appealed elo quently to the meeting to aat—and to act non. There was no time, and no good reason for delay, Mej, Cobb was heartily in sympathy with the movement—but desired to pursue such a policy as would best berroooize all Mstious smd intonpli of the <Miuuty, He therefore favored Hr, Carllou’s lootiou to defer action uutjj * county organization bad been PiO'Ut, Mr, Jester draught we should be (Careful to pursue such a course as to (secure the alliance and support of all friends of honest government, white And black, and especially avoid all cause for jealousy between the town and country districts. Dr. Carlton at this point suggested bis amendment to the report of the committee, that the Club be auxiliary an<l subject to any county organization that may be formed, which was agreed to by oil parties. The discussion was warm and spirit ed, but in the most cordial good tem per, and indicated an earnest purpose ran the port of all, to redeem the couuty from the humiliation which apathy «ud wont of organization have brought upon it. . <>!> -i?n ** Alabama Arkansas California Connecticut......

The Baltimore American thus shows how shrewd speculators can lock up supplies aud defeat, fora time—though it mu-t be brief—the natural effects of liberal legislation. It says : Coffee.—The active speculative move ment in coffee that has been going on for some two weeks, reached its highest point on Saturday, sales having been made of about 22,000 bags Rio at pri ces fully three cents per pound higher than when the law was pased by Con gress removing the duty after the 1st July next. It should be noticed that the coffee sold at present remains in bond, and it is not likely that any con siderable portion of it will be with drawn or will go into consumption previous to that date. The duty is equal toabout three and a quarter cents per pound. Tto.—If there are any of our rea ders who indulge in the hope that after the 1st day of July next their cup of tea will cost them any less, they may as well be disabused. Tea has ad vanced already. The stock in hands of jobbers and grocers is small, and the prices paid for that which is . on hand, to be delivered after the 1st of July, indicates that there will be no falling off. Greeley and the Democrats. A little more than a year ago Mr. Greeley wrote as follows of the Demo cracy : “ It is rebel at the core to-day, hardly able to reconcile the defeats of Lee, Johnson, Bragg, Hood and Price, and the consequent downfall of its beloved Confederacy, with its tra ditional faith in Diviue Providence.— It would hail the election of a Demo cratic President in 1872 as a virtual reversal of the Appomattox surrender. It would come into power with the hate, the chagrin, the wrath, the mor tification, of ten bitter years to impel and guide its steps. It would devote itself to taking off or reducing tax af ter tax until the treasury was depriv ed of the means of paying interest on the national debt, and would hail the tidings of national bankruptcy with unalloyed gladness and unconcealed exultation. Whatever chastisement may be deserved by our national sins, we must hope that this disgrace and humiliation will be spared us.” It is no wonder, says a Boston paper, that leading Democrats remember some of the words of Mr. Greeley, and decline to be bought over by the weak plati tudes of his letter of acceptance. 2,857 Total ..358 Necessary to choice ..180 The Souther 0 States, as the electoral college js uow constituted, cast 134 yotes.

Meu rarely rise in patron- ism to self-condemnation. .-1 • Is it needful to push our inf further as.to the “expediency*^! The Good and Liberal Greeley, —Here is his opinion of those who are now expected to support him at the South, on account of his great liberality ; “ When this Bi$Bj}j,Lious tratoes ARE OVERWHELMED in the field, and SCATTERED EIRE LEAVES BE FORE AM ANQBY WIND, IT MUST NOT BE TO RETURN fO PEACEFUL AND CONTENTED HOMES, THEY MUST FIND POVERTY AT THEIR FIRESIDES, AND SEE PRIVA TION IN THE ANXIOUS EYES OF MOTHERS AND IN THE BAGS OF CHILDREN,”— Greeley, Hon, Jeremiah 8. Black disclaims some of the eloquence and poetry put into his mouth by Doon Piatt, in a re port of a recent interview on the sub ject of the Cincinnati nominations,— He writes a letter to the editor of the York Gazette in which he says; The aggressive and violent temper of the Cincinnati movement, is break ing the Democracy to pieces. There are many thousands of men in the party who will refuse to be dragooned or bullied into the support of that tick et The Greeley men had better sus pend their plan of operation imme diately. The longer they continue it the less likely they are to succeed either in July or November. ‘ We, the people,’ the rank and file, the yeo manry of the country, cannot be driv en to the polls as negroes are driven in the South by the carpet-baggers and scalawags.” This is plain language, and we shall not be able to say whether it speaks peculiarly so against the tion of Mr. Greeley; nor do We now contemplate the discussion of that most vital question to a party, wheth er its great principle* can be everfheld tin abeyance during the houiwof deci sive struggle—its leadership confided to strange guidance, for the mere sake of success, and that inuring to an he reditary enemy—without the inevita ble dgbauchment that ever : crowds dose on the beds of wavering. virtue. The honor or safety of such a polit ical course we must remand to the keeping of the great body of the Dem ocratic party, whose members, under circumstances far more discouraging, yielded nothing to the insolence of power nor the temptations of place. In the judgment of some men, it wilt be “ expedient” for the Baltimore Convention to nominate Mr, Greeley as the most effective mode of deflating. Grant “"Put as we may the question of Greeley’s nomination at Baftiinore, it comes to this complexion at last: “ If with him we can most surely beat Grant, then it is expedient to nomi nate him. If he cannot accomplish this, no Democrat will be so poor as to do him reverence at Baltimore.” Considering, then, the whole subject from the stand of “expediency,” let us ask if it be prudent to rely *upuu the support of the body of the Democratic voters, who must constitute Mr. Gree ley’s main strength in the contest, when through all the years of his vig orous life, of all men he has beeD most forward in defeating the cherished principles of the Democratic party, and most bitterly denunciatory of its honored leaders. The dead with the living, who have endeared themselves to the Democratic mass of voters, have alike been the subjects of his incisive pen and burning words of denuncia tion. Can the mass of Democratic voters forget this truth ? Is it safe to rely upon the adherence of that large religious element . iu the party—Catholic and Protestant, North and South—who, applying the * test of conscience and of morals, will at least omit to cast their votes for a candidate whose editorship has been distinguish ed by its advocacy of doctrines that sap the very foundations of religious teachings, whether (pounded by a New England Presbyter or Rome’s prelate? Tho editor who publicly justified the criminal parties to the Mc Farland tragedy can scarce expect a large support from consistent Chris tian men, or escape from the potential criticism of a virtuous women of the land. Can the Democracy afford to en counter the almost united hostility of capitalists, who shrink from placing their sensitive treasure within the reach of the Tribune’s crude and rough, and leveling financial jpolicy.— Granted that the impulse of the South ern people to-day is in Greeley's favor, will the certain republication of his abuse of their cause, of them, their mothers, wives, and sisters, during the long years of the war, and now first brought to their notice, hold them to their “impulse ?” If not, can Mr. Greeley succeed without a united South ? Is it not true that the Southern vote for Mr. Greeley is mainly to be had by a united white vote, with a consid erable additional colored vote in some of these States, to be effective ? And is it not equally true that the colored vote at least, save as to a few localities, is as absolutely in the hands of a few leaders of the race in each district of the South as ever sheep were in shep herds’ hands ? Is it “ expedient,” then, to count on a united Southern vote in November ? But should even this be gained, what will be the vote of the Northern States? of New England? New Hampshire and Connecticut alone present hope of success. Will the scarred and oft beaten, but never dis honored Democracy of those stern States hew their necks «s one WBu to the yoke provided by their lifelong enemy ? If not, the simple abstinence from voting of a few hundred men in either State gives it to Grant. Of New York it maybe said, that when Mr. Greeley, as a candidate of bis own party in 1869, fell for below his ticket, he can scarcely be assured a promising run as the candidate of a party whose chiefs are Seymour and Hoffman aad Church—whom Mr. Greeley, by pen and tongue, has impoverished the vo cabulary of invective to traduce. Of New Jersey, it may be said’that the State—true to Democracy when every other Northern State failed dur ing the years of the war—has yet giv- ly, it a titne of the objections have been suggested iu this article are real onCSi then even the meaner aud humiliating question of “ expediency” is disposed of; and we may, as pa triots and Democrats, turn in honor and with wisdom at Baltimore to the promu! _ completeness those given at Cincinnati, and in the nomination ot men whose names alone will be a full guaranty of honesty in admi8tration and faithfulness to prin ciple.

HIS VERSION OF THE CINCINNATI PLAT FORM, New York, May 20,18(2. : Gentlemen—I have chosen not to acknowledge your letter of the 3d inst. nntil i could learu how the work of your Convention was received in all parts of cur great country, and more, whether that work was approved and ratified bv the mass of our fellow-citi zens. Tiieir response from day to day reached me through telegrams, letters and comments of journalists independ ent of official patronage aud indiffer ent to tiie smiles and favors of power. The number and character of tlie.e unconstrained, upurchased, unsolicited utterances satisfied me that the move ment which found expression at Cin cinnati has received the stamp of pub lic approval, and has been hailed by a majority of our country as the harb inger of a better day for the Repub lic. I do not misinterpret this approv al as especially complimentary to my self, nor even the chivalrous and just- tly esteemed gentleman with whose name I thank your Convention for as sociating mine. I receive and wel come it us a spontaneous and deserved tribute to that admirable platform of principles whereinjyour Convention so tersely, so forcibly set forth the convic tions which impelled, and the purposes' which guided its course—a platform which, casting behind it the wreck aud rubbish of worn-out coutentions aud by gone fends, embodies in fit and few words the needs and aspirations of to day. Though thousands stand ready to condemn your every act, hardly a syllable of criticism or cavil has been aimed at your platform, of which the substance may be fairly epitomized as follows: 1. All political rights and franchises which have been acquired through our late bloody convulsion must and shall be guaranteed, maintained, enjoyed and repeated evermore. 2. All political rights and franchises which have been lost through that con vulsion should and must be promptly restored and re-established, so that there shall be henceforth no proscribed class and no disfranchised caste within the limits of the Union, whose long estranged people shall reunite and fraternizeoipon the broad basis of uni versal amnesty and impartial suff rage. 3. That, subject to our solemn con stitutional obligatiou to maintain the equal rights of citizens, our policy should aim at local government and not centralization; that the civil author ity shall be supreme over military, the habeas corpus should be jealously up held as the safeguard of personal free dom ; that the individual citizen should enjoy the largest liberty consistent with public order, aud there shall be no Federal dictation of the internal policy of the several States, but that each shall be left free to enforce the rights and promote the well-being of its in habitants by such means as the judg ment of its own people shall pre scribe. 4. There shall be a real and not merely a stimulated reform in civil ser vice of the Republic, to which end it is indispensable that the chief despensor of its vast official patronage shall be shielded from the. mean temptation to use hjs power selfishly by a rule inex orably forbidding and precluding his re-election. 6, That the raising of revenue, whether by tariff or otherwise, shall be recognized and treated as the people’s immediate business, to be shaped and directed by them through their repre sentative iu Congress, whose action the President must neither overrule by his yeto nor attempt to dictate or presume to punish by bestowing office only on those who agree, and withdrawing from those who do not, , 6.
