tions,” than the support of Greeley or

Greeley’s Deiuocrary.
A distinguished Georgian who is
willing to take Greeley, or almost »ny-
Ixely else as a Presidential candidate
(“to beat Grant” of course) charac
terizes Greeley ns a “ natural Demo
crat," and therefore the Democracy
have nothing to fear in him. If by
natural democrat, he means one who
1 relieves in the agrarian idea of Dem
ocracy—the voice of the people, with
out regard to law—he is no doubt cor
rect. Greeley lias been the originator
and persistent advocate of more agra
rian ideas than any man living. He
was the apologist and defender of the
anti-renters and harn-burners of New
York and the raiders of Kansas; the
champion of John Brown, James Iled-
pnth, and of about every other foe of
social order that has ever cursed
American society. If that is Democ
racy, then old Chappaqua is a Demo
crat. But of every principle of the
Democratic party, and of every advo
cate of those principles, he has been
the unrelenting enemy, and the un
scrupulous villifior, up to tho day ho
was nominated by the collection of
Badical malcontents at Cincinnati.
The National Democratic party may
have to tako him, as their exponent;
but for one, we are like the fellow who
was asked to dine on roasted buzzard
—“we don’t hanker arter it”
Ruining Party Unity.
It is amusing to hear the friends of
Mr. Greeley lecture those honest Dem
ocrats—who, as between Radicals, like
Grant and Greeley, cannot support
either—on the great folly of destroy
ing party unity. If a party abandons
both its own men and measures, in a
greedy scramble for mere party suc
cess, it cannot expect to control the
consciences of men actuated by princi
ple. There are twenty-five thousand
men at leant in Georgia, who will nev
er vote for thi>se who have counten
anced the devilish measures of oppres
sion under which the State has groan
ed since the war—to say nothing of
those who, by their fanatical crusade,
fanned the sectional strife which
brought on the war, and have debauch
ed the very temple of freedom with
usurpation; fraud und violence ever
since the war. If it is desired to pre
serve Democratic unity at the South,
the national incendiaries who have
done these wrongs against Democratic
principles and constitutional liberty,
should not Itc put at the head of the
column.
Snapping tit*- Ilerll for a Witch.
There hn.- never | nr hops been a
more forcible application of this phrase
since it was originally used, than in
the proposed choice of Greeley as
against Grant. The groat objection to
who wtw a Federalist when Grant was
voting for Buchanan, and whoisa more
dangerous centralist than Grant—be
cause capable of enforcing his views
with power and enthusiasm—all they
have to do is toall centre on Greeley.—
We do not want any sneli centering and
centralizing, if we can help it.
Unity with Greeley Impassible.
Tho only argument in support of
Greeley, urged by Southern Demo
crat.--, is that a concertrati -n of the
Democracy on him will beat Grant.—
The assumption is, that the Democra
cy arc in a hopeless miuority, aud can
not elect a straight out Democratic
nominee. Wo do not admit the as
sumption. and believe that large ma
jority of the people of this country are
Democrats; and that a large number
of Republicans will vote for a Demo
crat to Iteat Grant.
But admitting that a union of the
Democracy with the Reform Republi
cans would lie successful, it must be
apparent to all observing minds, that
it is simply impossible to draw out the
strength of the Democracy on a Re
publican, and especially on so offensive
and Radical a Republican as Greeley.
Mr. Vorhees says that not over half
the Democratic vote can lie relied on
for such a combination. It is known
that the Germans are specially oppos
ed to Greeley, and is stated that Carl
Schurz, one of the chief originators of
the Reform movement, is utterly op
posed to Greeley. Iu our own State
there are many influential Democrats
who will never support Greeley, and it
will be imposible to poll anything like
a fall party vote for him. We liave
during the week talked with a num
ber of intelligent Democrats from
North-east Georgia, and while most of
them seem to have fallen into the com
mon delusion that a straight Demo
cratic ticket c:rnnot be elected, they all
admit that large numbers of Demo
crats will not vote for Greeley. We have
before us a letter from a leading Dem
ocrat in Hart county who says “ Hart
county wants the Baltimore conven
tion to make a nomination—without
reference to Grant or Greeley.” Such
arc the sentiments of thousands of
Democrats everywhere. Therefore
the talk*about uniting the Democracy
on Greeley is a snare and a delusion.
It cannot be doue—and by every con
sideration of principle as well as policy
—it ought not to be done.

would seem practicable aad judicious.
Who Nominated Mr. Greeley ?
—The ballots in the Cincinnati Con
vention show that on the 4th ballot
Mr. Adams had 279 'votes and Mr.
Greeley 250. On the 5th ballot,
when the nomination of Adams seem
ed certain, the Georgia delegation cast
gloves, and gives unanswerable rea
sons why the Democracy should not
support him. He gives good reasons
for the belief that not 50 per cent of
the Democratic vote of the country
can he brought out for Greeley; and
that a candidate opposed to Grant,
and in favor qf sound Democratic
principles—of tariff reform, and in the
interest of the working people of the
their vote for Greeley, and presto, country—can be elected. We append

Will the Democratic Convention of
Georgia ratify the nomination of the
celebrated firm of McWhorters, Hul-
b-rt & Co ?
That is the great question of the
day. And we commend it to the s<>-
lier reflection of all delegates to the
approaching Convention.
A Democrat “ Wiio didn’t uo to
be.”—It is said by the new converts to
the Greeley school of Democracy, that
he has recanted his life-time Radical
ism, and will make a “ bully demo
crat”—that he is a natural Democrat.
Here is what he said about his Dem
ocracy, and the propriety of asking
Democrats to support him,
short time ago:
“ I saw the other day a suggestion
that I would probably he the best
Democratic candidate to run against
General Grant for President. I
thought that about the most absurd
thing I ever heard of. If the Demo
cratic party were called upon to decide
between Grant and myself I know
that their regard for what they must
call principle would induce them to
vote against me. Why? I AM A
DECIDED ENEMY OF THAT
PARTY, EVEN IN ITS MOST RE
SPECTABLE ASPECTS.”
From Hart—Let us have Peace.
A Suggestion.
The Savannah Republican, whose
editor iron a Iwhcr-on at the Cincin
nati Convention, suggests that the true
way to back up the Liberal Republi
can movement is “ by nominating at
Baltimore a man who truly represents
Liberal Republican principles, who
has avowed, advocated, and defended
them against all opposition long before
they were embodied in a platform at
Cincinnati, and when the nominee of
the Convention held there was using
all his great powers to crush them out
of existence. Mr. Greeley is not a
The allusion of “ Silas” in our last,
to a personal difficulty in Hart, be
tween a Democrat inclined to Greeley
and one opposed to him, seems to have
been the occasion of some hard feeling.
“ Silas” requests us to state that it was
far from his intention to offend any
one—and that if he misstated the af-
tkir, it was from the exaggerated re-
jwrt of the matter made to him. He
further says that if both parties are
uot good Democrats he knows nothing
to the contrary.
One of the parties—whom we high
ly esteem—sends us a communication,
commenting rather severely on “ Si
las,” but as we know them to be per
sonal friends, we deem it best not to
publish it, and regret that we publish
ed any allusion to the matter at all.—
Whether Greeley is forced upon the
Democracy or not, in our State, coun
ty, and personal affairs, “ let us have
peace.” Southern Democrats can’t
afford to fall out about side issues—
especially back-side issues like Greeley.
Perhaps you will ask me, in con-
chi-ioii, what we ought to do to be
vud, aua to save our country from
further misrule and plunder. I am
not here without an answer to a ques
tion so natural. Much the largest
number of voters in the United States
are as yet without a candidate to suit
them; and they will remain so eveu
after Grant is nominated at Philadel
phia. With Greeley and Grant con
fronting each other, there are elements
in existence opposed to both, and more
numerous than the followers of either.
They may be enumerated in four class
es :
1st. Genuine and sincere revenue
reformers heretoforeacting with the Re
publican party. This class embraces
many distinguished and able meu who
are sincerely attached to a revenue
tariff, equal taxation, and other need
ful financial reformations. They do
not see that the election of either
Grant or Greeley will bring about the
only a salutary changes, and in this opinion
they are largely supported by those
with whom they have heretofore
acted.
2d. A very large majority of
THE GERMAN POPULATION.
Grant is distasteful to them on many
accounts; and Greeley, if possible, is
still more obnoxious. The German
press is more than ten to one against
him. The meddlesome advocate of
sumptuary laws will naturally receive
but little support from a people whose
mode of life he has always denounc
ed. With Mr. Greeley’s ideas of the
powers of tho Federal Government
over the local affairs of the people he
might with consistency seek to regulate
their domestic habits by proclamation
in the event of his election. A people
who have crossed the ocean to find a
land of freedom desire no such execu
tive ruler. They also desire freedom
from trade and commerce as well as for
themselves.
3d. There is a very large and re
spectable party in this country known
as
isentattves.
,e Committee, by auother resolu
tion, directed its Chairman “ to issue
an address to the party,” giving ex
pression to the views of the Commit
tee, and explanatory of its present
action.
In accordance with this resolution,
I have the honor to submit a few
words for your consideration:
You will perceive that the time fix
ed for the assembling of the Conven
tion is in the latter part of June, about
two weeks before the day of the meet
ing of the General Convent on of the
party at Baltimore. This was ileem-
by day throws additional light on the
circunstances surrounding. _ No man
can safely say what conclusion he may
reach as to his proper course a month
from to-day. In the meantime, de
ed irations of In cn’ion produce discus-
10 n’dock s j ,n; this Uatimul. ted into antagonism;
House of i and finally, when the time for action
arrives, pride of opinion, expressed and
vindicated in argument, prevents our
decision according to the dictates of
our more enlightened judgment.
We ask for the reservation of opin
ion and harmony of action to secure
the safety of us all. Let us remem
ber that the approaching contest is for
the preservation of the great principles
of Constitutional Liberty. So
far as we are concerned, this next Pres
idential election will decide their fate
and ours. They have been saved in
times as dark as the present. From

circumstances which could throw light
upon the political situation, and at the
same time give ample opportunity to
the delegates to the General Conven
tion, selected at Atlanta, to reach Bal
timore by the 9th of July.
The Committee, in the call for the
convention, specify but one purpose
for its assembling: “ to select dele
gate* to the National Democratic Con
vention to meet in Baltimore on the
9th of July next.”
It was deemed inexpedient, at the
time of the meeting of your commit
tee, to include in the objects of the
Convention the nomination of a candi
date for Governor. At that time a
bill was pending before the Congress
of the united .States to remove the
disabilities of citizens disfranchised by
the fourteenth amendment of the Con
stitution. It was not known whether
that bill would become a law before
the time of the assembling of the .State
Convention. The Committee, there
fore, deemed it proper, and only just
to the people, to postpone an}’ nomina
tion of a candidate for Governor until
a time when it would he certain wheth
er or not the field of choice would be
enlarged.
In addition to this, it was evident
that another Convention of the Dem
ocracy of the State must he called to
assemble after the Convention at Bal
timore, to receive the report aud con
sider the action of the delegates to that
convention, and perhaps to nominate
Presidential electors. This latter
Convention can make a nomination of
a candidate for Governor, under cir
cumstances, and with the lights of
events to guide them, which would
not, perhaps, exist prior to the Con
vention at Baltimore.
The Committee by its resolution
have called upon you to renew and
perfect your party organization in each
county. We mean by this that, in
our judgment, the Democratic party
should not, under any circumstances,
be disbanded. Its principles are the
only true interpretation of the consti
tution ; and their successful mainten
ance affords the only meins for the
preservation of the rights of tiie States
and the liberty and protection of the
individual citizen. We have no ap-
hour, through all the vicissitudes of
time, and change, aud blood, theyhavs
never died. Time and again they have
teemed to be overwhelmed in the tu
mults of temporary revolutions, or de
stroyed by the vacillating changes of
popular will. Time and again the
hand of some Tudor or Stuart, or the
power of some Star-Chamber, or the e ' tr;
grasp of some military despotism, luis
teemed to c. Uih tlie.u into dust. But
each time the example of some Hamp
den, or the sacrifice of some Lee lias
proved to the world that they still ex
isted, and still claimed their followers
aud apostle*.
Let us unite together as a party,
and with all its friend*, by whatever
name called, save these great princi
ples of Constitutional liberty !
Respectfully submitted for the Com
mittee.

A cautious friend suggests that our
attacks on Mr. Greeley will he a little
representative man of that party, nor j embarrassing to us, if he is nominated
is his nomination acceptable to it.—
His recently professed conversion, af
ter nomination, is the solitary tie that
binds him the Liberal Republican
platform. Present them with a can
didate whose life has illustrated its
principles and not their opposites, and
whom the Democrats can consistently
support, and we shall hoar no more of
Mr. Greeley. They will take up the
ticket, carry forward the campaign
with a hearty good will, and come out
of it triumphant. Everybody who
looked on at Cincinnati knows that
Mr. Greeley was not the choice of that
body for President. By trickery, or
something worse, on the part of a few
political wire-workers, like Cochrane
and McClure, Mr. Adams was cheat
er! out of the nomination just on the
eve of victory. No one can deny this
truthfully. It were impossible, under
the circumstances, for the honest por
tion of the Liberal Republicans to fcci
satisfied with the nomination. They
support it now only because they have
nothing else to cling to, and they will
abandon it tiie moment the Democrat
ic party shall think projKir to relieve
them from the embarrassment.”
The editor proceeds to show that
Grant, aside from his nepotism and ] the Cincinnati nomination carries no
iguoranec of civil affairs, is that lie is
a centralist, mid that ritatc righto are
in danger under the success of liis par
ly, is no nmre emphatic cen-
Uuii.-t in America than Greeley. He
ha* written a hir .orv of the late war,
in which he inhois through pages to
show that the constitution of 1787
provided for a consolidated govern
ment, which subordinated the States
to pretty much the position which
•utintics bear to State Governments.
He has advocated and defended the
infamous Civil Rights bill, and all his
twaddle about amnesty has been based
on the insane crotchet of equal rights,
of which John Brown was lii.* beau
ideal of a martyred champion. Hence
his pretty prattle, in his letter of ac
ceptance, about local self-government,
if it means anything, simply means
that local government shall be respect
ed when it does not interfere with the
right and duty of the Federal Govern
ment to “ enforce by appropriate leg
islation” the provisions of the 14th
amendment, which Greeley, and Sum
ner, and all that school of saints and
obligation on the Democracy to sup
port it. That body was merely a
mass meeting of disaffected Republi
cans—not having regularly chosen
delegates from three States—with no
power, and no right to thrust its choice
upon any organized movement, and
that all real friends of Reform will
readily acquiesce in any ebange in can
didates, which the principles and feel
ings of the great mass who are to sup
port them may deem essential. The
editor further says, that should “Judge
Davis, or Mr. Adams, be nominated
for I'resideut and General Hancock
for Vice-President, or—which per
haps might be still 1 letter—should the
at Baltimore, and we have to defend
him in the canvass. If the Democrat
ic party is called on to carry the dead
weight of Greeley through the ap
proaching canvass we shall leave de
fending him to those who have invited
and counselled the humiliation.
Impressed as we are with the con
viction that the nomination or support
of Greeley by the National Democrat
ic party, is a death knell to that organ
ization and its principles, whether he
is elected or not; aud convinced also
that he is the weakest man in his
party, except the other anti-Grant rad
ical Dromio—Charles Sumner—that
could be run against the great Gift-
Taker—we feel sacredly bound to do
all we can to prevent the calamity of
his endorsement at Baltimore. The
way to prevent that endorsement is,
for those who are opposed to it, not to
keep silent and wait in timid fear of
destroying harmony, until the fatal
deed is doue: but by every possible
means combat the manifestation of a
willingness to support him, whenever
and wherever exhibiting itself. If we
could see reason in the proposed sur
render to Greeley, in the face of the
evident fact that it must divide and
destroy both the Democratic party and
the liberal movement, wc should feel
that waiting might be pardonable. But
it is against our judgment, os well as
revolting to our principles. The most
effective way to combat the eccentric
and inconsiderate impulse in favor of
Greeley, is to remind the people what
manner of man the fanatical philoso
pher is. Wc have done this by a few
characteristic extracts from his recent
utterances, and a perfectly fair recital
of some ot the incidents of a long life
of unremitting hostility to Democracy,
to our cherished institutions, and our
most sacred traditions.
Three or four self-constituted dele-
gates from Georgia, put Greeley be. j few

men of the nation. Their mission is a
noble one and has power in it.
4th. The masses of the Democratic
party, three million strong. There is
not one in a hundred for Mr. Greeley,
and none for Grant. They want an
honest, upright man with whom they
can substantially agree as a candidate,
and then they will move as an organiz
ed army deserving success and secur
ing it.
Between the four classes that I have
specified hut little discrepency of opin
ion prevails on the public questions.
A UNION OF ACTION
ought not to he difficult. With such
union victory is certain. I speak in
the interest of no man as a candidate.
I have no favorite now to urge. 1 will
most cheerfully support any one ot the
distinguished gentlemen heretofore
named, or if not so prominent yet true
and capable, should be nominated, it
would be well with me and with the
Democracy. I shall work from now to
tlic 9th of July to bring about a result
so auspicious. I have high hopes of the
wisdom and integrity of tho Conven
tion then to assemble. I do not believe
that such a disaster can befall us as the
nomination of Mr. Greeley. I believe
honor and principle will prevail. If,
however, it should happen otherwise,
and I should be laid away in my pol
itical grave along side of ihe dear old
party for whom I have fought a hun
dred battles, and never one against
her, all I ask of you, my constituents,
whom I have known and loved so long,
is to write on my tomb-stone:

ing to a confident assuranci, that the
Convention will reassert and proclaim
anew the adhesion of the Democratic
party to the principles of constitution
al Government which the present con
dition of the country and the exper
ience of the Southern States during
the last seven years, prove to be the
only foundation for tiie prosperity of
the whole Union, and the renewal of
anything like fraternal relations among
the people of its different sections.
Nor do we believe that the Conven
tion will recommend or lor an instant
contemplate the dissolution of the
Democratic party as an organization.
What may be its policy as to nominat
ing candidates for President and Vice-
President cannot now he with certain
ty foreseen. It may be that tiie Con
vention, composed as we trust and
believe it will he, of men of patriotism,
wisdom and cxperince, will consider it
good policy to make no party nomina
tion for the Presidential election.—
But, even if this be the result ofits
deliberations, wc feel convinced that
the party organization will he main
tained equally with the party princi
ples. For whatever our party may
do, in order to be effective, should lie
done as a solid body, and with united
efforts.
, Therefore your committee do most
earnestly urge upon you the necessity
for organization and united action in
each and every county. Send your
delegates to Atlanta, aud lot the unit
ed wisdom of the party select delegates
to whom can lie entrusted the guidance
of your action in the approaching elec
tion, the result of which must be your
restoration to the fair and full nropor-
tions of free citizens of a republic, or
your consignment to a condition more
burdened with oppressions tliuu any
you have yet endured.
And in this connection your Com
mittee desire most earnestly to urge
upon you the necessity for harmony
of feeling and conceit of action among
all the friends of constitutional liberty.
We deprecate most sincerely any rash
or unadvised declaration of n future
course of individual action by mem
bers of the party. The juncture of af
fairs now upon us is more pregnant
with results for good or evil to our
country, and especially to the people
