NationalUepublican A.UUUSTA. QA. 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.

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.” From Ik* Atlanta New Ere.] 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 remain in session as long as is necessary 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 has tried to give in part by the passage of the ordinances for relief and for a home stead ; therefore, in view of tho great financial distress that exists in the State, Resolved, That the members of this Con vention do agree not to exact any per diem for services rendered in this Convention after to-day. The rules were not suspended to take up the resolution: Mr; Holcombe moved that that the Con vention adjourn sine die. The motion was ruled out of ox-der. Mr. Bryant moved the reconsideration of the action ot the Convention, on yester day, in refusing to suspend the rules to take up the resolution ol Mr. Maijdex in reference to the indorsement of the action of the Hovse of Representatives in impeach ing Andrew Johnson, President of the United States. The motion to reconsider was Just, by a vote of yeas, 61 ; nays, 62, us follows : Those who voted in the affirmative are— Messrs.

Mr. Bentley moved to suspend the rules to take up a resolution which ho offered, declaring that those members of the Convention who advocated cutting down the per diem of members, should display- their magnanimity by refusing to take the amount determined on. The resolution was laid on tho table. The motion of Mr. Campbell to recon sider tho action of the Convention, on yes torday, in reference to the appoin'.tncut of Judges, was lost. Mr. llolcombe’b motion to reconsider the action of tho Convention in tho adop tion of Mr. Whiteley's substitute in rela tion to Judges of Senatorial Districts, was lost.

Mr. Hotchkiss moved to reconsider the action of the Convention in the adoptfou of Mr. Adkiks’ amendment, to allow Magis trates to be elected by the people of their districts. The jnotion to reconsider was lost, by a vote of yeas, 52 ; nays, 73. The report of tho Judiciary Committee was taken up avthe unfinished business— paragraph 2, section 8, being first in order —Mr. W hitelky withdrew his motion to sut “Superior” and insert "District” Mr. Bryant’s motion to strike out the word “office” prevailed. The paragraph, as amonded, was adopted. The 3d paragraph of section 8 was taken up, and read ng follows: 3. The Clerks of the Superior Courts shall be appointed and removable by the Judges thereof. Said Judges shall have the power of appointing the Sheriffs of the counties of their respective circuits, and of removing them before the expiration of their terms of office, for good cause record ed on the minutes of said Courts. Mr. Whiteley moved the following sub stitute : The County officers recognized as existing by the laws of this State, and not abolished by the Constitution, shall, where not other wise provided for in this Constitution, be electotl by the qualified voters of their re spective counties or districts, and shall hold their offices for a period of four years. They shall be removable on conviction for mal practice in office, on the advice of two-thirds of the Senate. Mr. Parrott moved to amend the substi tute by shilling out “four” and inserting “two.” Mr. McCay moved to except Clerks. Mr. Harris, from the Committee on Print ing, submitted the following report: Mr. President: The Committee on Print ing instructs the Chairman to submit the following report for the action of the Convention : A. L. Harris, Chairman. Resolved, That the Convention subscribe for two thousand copies of the pamphlet to be published by Messrs.

On motion of Mr. Speer, the Conven tion adjourned till Monday morning, 0} o’clock. 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. Atlanta Era.
