TUKBMAY MORNING March 3, 1868
For PRESIDENT
, 0> the United States :
ULYSSES S. «RA\T.
ORGANIZING.
We see in the Democratic papers fre
quent calls upon their rank and file to
“Organize! organize!” anil we learn that
in many parts of the State these calls have
been obeyed, and that Clubs, consisting of
a President, Secretary, and the other
machinery ot such bodies, have been estab
lished at most cross roads where there is a
grocery.
Now, can these papers or their dupes
tell what it is they arc organizing for ?
If it is said that their object is to defeat
the Constitution now in the process of
formation at Atlanta, would it not be
better for these zealous champions of
Democracy to wait until they know what
it is they are about to oppose ? The defeat
of the Constitution will be a sore calamity
to a great many people, carrying with it,
as it ‘will, all the beneficent measures
included in it for the alleviation of the
people’s burdens. If it is said that the
Democracy is organizing to defeat recon
struction, then their object is to per
petuate military rule, to refuse liberty, pros
perity, and the control of their own affairs,
and the election of their own officers, to the
people. If they are only going to organ
ize to prevent the election of a certain
class of candidates, would it not be better
to wait until those candidates arc in the
field, and it is known who they are ? It
may chance that they will be men who
will suit those who are being inveigled into
these organizations, and pledged to sup
port or oppose men and measures—whom
and what they can not now know unless
they have the gift of prophecy. The
usual answer is, when the question is
asked, what is the object of these organi
zations, “to defeat Radicalism.’ 1 Now,
before this crusade is entered upon, it
would be well to know what is Radical
ism in Georgia, and what is Democracy.
The Republican party will make the
Atlanta Constitution their platform. If
there is any Radicalism in it, we should be
glad to have it pointed out. No more
liberal Constitution has yet been iormcil in
any Southern State. The people were told,
when the Convention was called, the Con
stitution they would form would be Radi
cal. That term had a definition then: it
signified confiscation, banishment, and dis
franchisement—every evil to be inflicted
upon the people, and no benefit. The
“Radical” platform is to be the Atlanta
Constitution, and the motto of the party is
no confiscation, no disfranchisement—
everything that is for the good of the
whole people, nothing of evil. Those who
are organizing to defeat “Radicalism" must
of necessity take opposite grounds; they
must favor confiscation, disfranchisement,
and all the other harsh measures which
have been rejected from this Constitution;
and as they are organizing to defeat it,
they can not avoid the other horn of the
dilemma—they favor military rule, the
continuance to turmoil and disaster, no
relief from intolerable debt, disunion, dis'
franchisement, and confiscation. That is
the phase Protean Democracy now takes.
The truth is, this organizing movement
is only for the spoils, gotten up by those
ringleaders in treason who attempted to
dissolve the Union for no other reason
than because their insatiable love of office
could not be satisfied. Give them the
offices, and they care very little about the
Constitution, or Radicalism, or any thing
else. For the sake of plausibility, and an
appearance of consistency, they will doubt
less attempt to destroy the work of Con
gress and the Convention. Their multitu
dinous dupes may require it ot them, and
they are in some measure pledged to undo
all that has been done. They may per
form their promises, though to do so is
contrary to Democratic custom; therefore,
those who desire a return to peace and
prosperity will see to it that men pledged
by acts as well as words to thorough and
lasting reconstruction arc placed m office-
None are so fit to carry into effect the
beneficial provisions of the Atlanta Con
stitution as the men who had a part in
making ft.
COL. R. R. BULLOCK.
By a letter from Hon. Foster Blodgett,
it will be seen that he declines allowing
his name to be brought before the Onvcn
tion as the nominee for the Governorship
of Georgia ; and he very happily suggests,
as a candidate for that important office, the
name of one of our honored citizens—Col.
R. B. Bullock—a gentleman of undoubted
ability, and whose private character and
public conduct are so far above reproach
that even the unprincipled scavengers of
the anti-reconstruction press can find no
blemish therein.
We commend the letter of Mr. Blodgett
to the earnest perusal of our readers.
Great Meeting.
The Tribune of Wednesday has a glow
ing description of a Democratic Mass
Meeting, held in New York on Tuesday
last. As many of our readers wonld like
to know what was said and done, on the
occasion, we give below the entiru article,
as it appears in that paper :
“ A Democratic mass meeting, to sus
tain President Jolibsou, was announced to
be held in the City Hall Park at 4 o’clock
yesteiday afternoon. At the appointed
hour a horse and buggy, and a gentleman
with an umbrella, appeared on the scene.
There were no speecnes made.”
LETTER FROM MR. BLODGETT.
August a, March 1,1868.
Editor National tttpvblieaii :
On my return to the elty, to-day, I notice
a communication in your paper, ot the
88th ultimo, signed “Old Wilkes,’ ex
pressing in very complimentary terms
preference for niyselt as the Republican
nominee for Governor.
While I am far from lieing insensi
ble of the honor intended, or un
grateful for the preference thus manifested,
duty to the Union party and to myself
requires me to decline allowing my name
to be used before the Convention.
I do so with less reluctance because we
have among us a man so eminently
fitted to inaugurate the important practical
and political measures which will soon
become necessary under the new Consti
tution, in forming a loyal government for
our State in harmony and unisou with the
general government.
Feeling called upon to decline myself, I
take great pleasure in offering the name of
Col. R. B. Bullock, of Richmond county, as
our nominee on the platform of the new Con
stitution, made by Republicans in accord
ance with the principles of the Republi
can party. Colonel Bullock, by his high*
toned personal character, eminent attain
ments, and well-known reputation for ad
ministrative ability, is the min our good
old State needs to build up and place upon
a prosperous basis the broken fortunes of
our people. Ilis earnest advocacy and
successful support of the Relief measure
in the Convention, fully evidence his ap
preciation of our necessities; and that he
is fully alive to the changed political con
dition of our colored citizens, is shewn by
his votes on all the importai.t branches of
the Constitution.
A long residence and extensive acquaint
ance in the State lias endeared him to all
who know him.
Having been a Union man before the
war, and in no way connected with the
Confederate government or army during
the war, he is fully eligible, and will not
be in need of a pardon for political trans
gressions. Having never been in any po
litical office, or actively connected with
any political organization except that of
Reconstruction, he will have no old politi
cal friends to reward or enemies to punish.
I believe Colonel Bullock would re
ceive more votes as our candidate than any
man in Georgia; and, for the success of
Reconstruction, and the good of our State
and the ichole people, I hope that lie will
be nominated ns our standard-bearer.
It would be very proper that, Atlanta
having received the Capital, Augusta should
furnish the Governor.
Respectfully yours,
Foster Blodgett.
Dialogue — Scene, Bar Room in Atlanta.
Republican. —Well, Jim, so you are going
to run Gordon for Governor ?
Prominent Democrat. —Not a bit of it-
Gordon don't want it—too modest. Says
he knows very little about politics, and
don’t want to be mixed up in them.
Republican.— l hear some talk of Jenkins;
is bo uning ho In* yarn- p-m.lwlot.. ?
Democrat. —Reckon not. Don’t know
whether lie is a Democrat or not—used to
be too strong a Union man.
Republican. —Well, wlio arc you going to
run then ?
Democrat. —Well, to let you into the
secret, we think of running Ben. Hill or
Ranse Wriglit. Both of them have been
beaten so often, they won’t mind it—got
used to it, you know !
ITEMS FROM THE WASHINGTON
CHRONICLE.
The loyal Legislatures and Governors
all send grateful greeting to the brave
Congress for its noble stand against tlio
Usurper.
The vote on impeachment in the House
ot Representatives was priuted in London
on Monday, and the effect was hardly per
ceptible upon the national securities. Let
Andrew Johnson be removed, and in ten
days gold will decline as rapidly as busi
ncsi of all kinds will recuperate.
The New York Times openly justifies
Andrew Johnson in resisting a law of Con
gress. Probably Fernando Wood could
give the Times a wholesome reminiscence
of the folly of such a venture. That gen
tleman, while Mayor of New York, at
tempted to resist the Metropolitan Police
bill passed by the State Legislature, and
called his “ friends” to the City Hall to aid
him. But when the Seventh Regiment
grounded arms in front of his office, he
quickly succumbed, and the law went into
instant operation.
A great lawyer pronounced Secretary
Stanton’s affidavit before Chief Justice
Carter, of the Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia, on the attempt of Andrew
Johnson to eject him from the Secretary of
War, one of the finest legal documents ever
conceived. He says it reminded him as be
perused it, of successive discharges of artil
lery, each sentence being a centre shot.
The noble attitude of Mr. Stanton before the
country has silenced all complaiuts among
loyal men. Even tlfose who sometimes
objected to his vigorous administration ot
the Department of War. freely confess that
he is the right man in the right place,
while the millions who profited by his con
stancy and courage during the rebellion, are
filled with new gratitude to him for the
manner in which he maintains his position,
and sets an example to all the enemies of
the Constitution uud the Union.
“Impeachment is Pease."
Under the above caption, the Tribune
thus concludes a very excellent and well
timed article :
Therefore, it is wise to say that impeach
ment is peace. Somo of our people may
rave, and swear, and gnash their teeth;
but we shall havo no war—-no disturbance
—no arresting the wheels of Government
—not the shimmer of a bayonet, nor the
click of a trigger—nothing but the ordinary
town constable, with his clumsy baton.
There is something grand to us in this
spectacle of a great nation changing an
incompetent ruler by the gentle and easy
process of law. The poor little three per
cent, that the gold gamblers have made
will inelt like the falling snow. Impeach
ment is peace, bccauso tbe common-sense
and the loyalty ol the nation demand it.
When a good wife bad prepared an ex
cellent dinner for bur husband, and lie
declared he liked it, she said: “Well, kiss
me then.” “Oh, never mind that my dear,”
was his reply j "the necessities of life we
must have, but the luxuries we can dispense
with.”

State Constitutional Convention
Atlanta, Feb. 29, 1868.
The Convention met at 94 o’clock a. m.,
pursuant to adjournment, and was opened
with prayer liv the Rev. Mr. Harland, a
delegate.
Tuo Journal was read.
Leave of absence was granted to Meiers.
Brown. Foiter, of Paulding, and Saffold.
Mr. Bell, of Banks, introduced tho fol
lowing :
Whereas, The Air-Line Railroad, from
Atlanta, Ga., to Charlotte, N. C-. that is
now proposed to be constructed, being a
link of the Great Sonthcrn Pacific Railroad,
between the Eastern States and the Pacific
coast, therefore.
Resolved, That this Convention do most
earnestly request the Congress of the United
States to make a liberal appropriation for
the building of said road.
Resolved. That the President of this
Convention be rcqnested to forward copies
of the foregoing preamble and resolutions
to the President of the Senate and Speaker
of the House of Representatives with the
request that (hey be laid before their
bodies.
Mr. Miller hoped the resolution would be
adopted unanimously. It did not propose to
taka a cent out the Treasury of the State of
Georgia, but sought to obtain aid from the
Congress of the United States, in opening
the most direct route irom the North to the
Pacific coast. The road would pass through
a section of the country as yet undeveloped,
but rich in mineral resources, and capable of
producing, when subjected to practical and
scientific culture, the largest amount and
variety of agricultural productions. Hereto
fore, the productions of that section of the
country had been almost valueless to the
State. The developing of that section would
add largely to the individual wealth, and to
the amount of taxable property of the State.
He hoped the resolution would he adopted
unanimously.
Mr. Bryant agreed with Mr. Miller in
the hope that the resolution would be
adopted unanimously. He had taken a
former occasion to speak of tho vast re
sources of that section of the country
through which the Air-Lino Railroad would
pass, and though he did not know as much
about those resources as did the gentleman
from Fulton, who had been raised in that
section of the country, still he claimed, as
one that intended to make Georgia his
permanent home, to feel a deep interest in
the prosperity of that section, as well as
other sections of the State. The resolution,
as had been remarked, did not propose to
take a cent out of the treasury ot the State;
but proposed to ask aid of the Congress of
the United States for the building of that
road, which would be so important a link
in the chain of communication between the
Northern and Eastern States and the Pa
cific coast. Over this road tho United
States could transport troops iii time of
war to tho most distant sections of the
country. But whilst the Air-Line Railroad
would be a work of great national benefit,
it would be of vast importance in develop
ing a section of country rich in minerals,
and capable of producing wheat and corn,
and other products that might bo trans
ported to the cotton sections of the State
where they wonld be needed. He hoped
not only that the resolution would be
passed asking this aid of Congress, but
that also another resolution would be
offered and passed by the Convention,
asking tho State Legislature to aid largely
ill the building of this road. In lus opinion,
the building of that road would increase
vastly the taxable property of the State.
He hoped, therefore, the resolution wonld
be adopted.
The rules were suspended, and the reso
lutions passed.
air. Holoosiue offered the following :
Resolved, That this Convention do ad
journ until the third Tuesday in May next,
and that when it re-assembles, it shall

for the protection of the loyal men of Geor
gia and the Congress of the United States.
Tho rules were not suspended to take up
the resolution.
Whurkas, The Stato of Georgia is now
reduced to great pecuniary straits, which
will be considerably increased by taxation
necessary to meet the expenses of this Con
vention ; and
Whereas, The people of Georgia aro
clamoring for relief which this Convention

the ordinances for relief and for a home
stead ; therefore, in view of tho great
financial distress that exists in the State,

Johnson's Body Guard—Their First Defeat.
At an early hour, on Tuesday, says the
Tribune , the enthusiastic admirers of Mr.
Johnson thronged the building of No. 208
Broadway, anxious to sign the muster roll
oi an association pledging itself to support
the “policy” Os Andrew Johnson, President
of the United States, and resort to arms, if
necessary. Col. F. Tucker was the prime
mover of the organization. Many names
were signed, and all went on swimmingly
till about noon, when two police officers
visited the place, seized the lists, and car
ried them to the Second Precinct Police
Station.
Our reporter, in describing the arrest,
says : Colonel Tucker was found in a little
room, up two flights of stairs, reached by
groping through a miniature Mammoth
Cave, something like the one on exhibition
at Banvard’s Museum. When our reporter
introduced himself, the Colonel was all
cordiality, and said that the sole object of
his asking men to enroll their names was
to protect the President if Congress
adopted measures outside tbs palo of tho
law. In the room, wheYe the mighty pro
tector of tho President was seated, was a
stove, a table, a desk, and under this deek,
half concealed, was a box of coals. Loun
ging about the room in various attitudes
indicative of marshal ardor, were a number
of secdy-looking individuals, clad in gar
ments once blue, but now white about the
seams and shoulder-blades, aud showing a
pitiable dearth of buttons. Their language
was of the cannon’s month, and they longed
to taste powder. What valorous deeds they
would do, if they could only get to Wash
ington to protect their beloved President.
It was evident they longed for the flesh
pots of Egypt. One, while talking, long
ingly for blood, became so enthusiastic that
he jumped up, and had an imaginary com
bat with an inperceptible foo.
At this juncture the door opened, and in
walked two plainly dressed strangers. “We
want to see vour muster roll,” they said
quickly. “Do you wish to sign your
names 7" was asked joyously. “Already
we have 100,000 men ready to march to
Washington. Come sign,” and the paper
was held temptingly forward. “No, we
don’t want to sign,” was the reply; “we
.merely want this roll to see who are on the
list.” “Do you want to arrest us 7” anfl ail
shook visibly. “No, only this paper, which
we intend carrying to Captain DeCamp, of
the Second Precinct.” So saying, tho men
withdrew. As soon as they were gone,
Colonel Tucker became exceedingly indig
nant. He declared the seizure of the rolls
a high-handed outrage, and asseverated that
the rights of American citizens should be
respected, even if he had to wade through
blood. In his agitation, ho began to buckle
on his spurs—a most formidable pair—and
bade all who loved him to- follow him, as he
was going to make a foray on Captain De
Camp.
At the stntion-houso Col. Tucker *• let
himself out,” asked if the rights of Ameri
can citizens were not to bo respected, and
promised utter annihilation to all polioo
mcn. Tho policeman smiled, "Am I
arrested?” lie asked. "Oh! no,” in
reply, “we only wanted tho list ” *• I in
sist on being arrested,” 6aid Col. Tucker;
” I want to be made a martyr. Ploase
make a martyr of me.” But the sergeant
in charge refused to gratify his wish, and
tho redoubtable Colonel, pleading to bo
made a martyr, was led sorrowfully away,
MON. R. B. BULLOCK.
The above named gentleman is one of
the most prominent members of the Con
vention. He is a gentleman of fine per
sonal appearance—an elegant picture of
good health, portly, courteous, sociable, and
always appearing in a good humor with
everybody. He is about thirty-seven years
of age—* native of New York, and a gradu
ate, with academic honors, from Western
New York. He has been South near ten
years, and always connected with practical
and useful business enterprises, and has
been successful, enjoying the confidence of
commercial circles. He is now the Presi
dent of the Macon & Augusta Railroad, aud
a Director of the National Bank of Augusta.
Early in the session of the Convention,
Mr. Bullock was Darned by a large majority,
.as a suitable person for Provisional Gov
ernor, to succeed Governor Jenkins.
Mr. B. had no connection with the Con
federate Government. Always n Union
man, he still stands firmly, with an unwaver
ing faith in tho Government of the United
States, as the best for all the people of the
American Union. He, in his action, is
always found on the side of Congress.
Judging from his votes, he has but little
use for Andrew Johnson. He believes in
the Government of the people. From pres
ent appearances, Mr. Bullock will probably
be the standard bearer of the Convention, in
the next Gubernatorial race. His star
seems to be in the ascendant now, but we
can not tell what changes may take place.
As to the practical, useful, and financial,
Mr. Bullock is eminently endowed, and
would make a good executive officer in any
position he would be willing to be placed.
