No one can overestimate the importance attached to the political campaign upon which we are entering. The respective hosts have chosen their leaders and raised their standard. The issue is made up. The National Republican will ho found battling, iu the front rank, for the Restoration of Georgia, for the new Con stitution framed by her representatives in the Convention at Atlanta, for new men and new measures, and, as a sequence; for the peace and prosperity of our people. “There's work for every man to do.” To make TnE National Republican effective in the great work before us, we propose the following liberal KATES FOB THE CAMPAIGN: DAILY, single copy, 3 months SI.OO “ 10 copies, “ ** 8.00 The Republican contains more reading matter than any other daily journal in the State, including the latest news by mails and telegraph. ts WIIAT IS THEIR PLATFORM? It is somewhat difficult to discover, from the pronunciamcnto of the little squad of old politicians calling themselves the Ex ecutive Committee of the Democratic party, and which nominated Judge lieese for Governor, what is the platform upon which they intend to place their candidate. Their proclamation is more remarkable for what it does* not say than for what it says. They tell the world that their “opposition to the action of the several Conventions called in pursuance of the Reconstruc tion acts is well know r n,” and their oppo sition to several other things, they say, is equally well known. They thus are kind enough to inform ns what they oppose, but they do not inform us what they propose. They make but one single proposition, and that is to elect Judtje Reese, if they can. We may fairly infer, however, that they will not “go back” upon their previous opinions—that their best efforts will be used to defeat the action of the Convention and prevent the ratification of the ConstL tution; not that they have any particular fault to find with it, for we have yet to see the first objection urged to it except for the Relief afforded by it to the people. To that feature alone is their opposition confined, and upon the platform of anti relief have they nominated their candidate for Governor. They appear to. be rather indifferent whether the voter votes to ratify the Constitution or not, so he votes tor their candidate. This is a cunning dodge. They are fully aware that though the ConstiUition may be ratified by the people and by Congress, they can nullify its relief pro vision by electing a Governor who will veto any law to carry it into effect—\rill appoint judges who will declare it uncon stitutional, und who will obstruct in every way its operation. Should they be so lucky as to get a majority in the Legislature, they know that* the courts may be opened at any time, and relief be rendered nugatory in that way. To elect a Governor or a Legislature opposed to relief is as fatal as to defeat the ratification of the Constitu tion. Let that portion of the people who favor the relief measures not be deceived. These artful dodgers will pretend that it is of Very little consequence to them whether a Voter casts his ballot for or against the ratification of the Convention, so he votes for their candidate for Governor. But electing that candidate will in reality lie worse than a defeat of the Constitution. In the latter case we shall remain under military Government, and the military authorities possibly may see (it to allow the collection of old debts to remain sus pended. But if the Constitution is ratified and an anti-relief Governor elected, he will have the power to defeat all the beneficent provisions of the Constitution, und again make half the property of the people of the State of Georgia suliject to the Sheriff* hammer. The only safety for the people is, vote squarely, not only for the Constitution, but for Col. Bullock, our candidate for Governor, a man who standi upo« the Constitution as his platfllßn—wim hod * large share in its formation, and who is pledged to carry out its provisions to the last word and letter. ~, . t REMOVAL OF I ITT CAPITAL. It could hardly have l>een expected that the removal of the Capital of the State could have been effected without eliciting complaint from somebody, and we have l>ecn somewhat surprised that no louder outcry has Ijcen made by those interested in the matter. The principal objection that could be made to the removal was on the score of expense, but for the pres ent tl|e proposals of the citizens of At lanta have obviated that Objection. At some future time it will be necessary to provide a State House and other public buildings; but the expense will" hardly be so great to build anew as to lie continu ally repairing the tumble-down old build ings at MillodgeviHe. For years the people of Georgia have been anxious to remove the Capital, and once, when sub mitted to the people, the proposition was lost by only a few votes ; and now, since the Convention have decreed the removal to such a convenient location as Atlanta, wc are confident that its action will meet the approval of a large majority of the people. REASONS FOR VOTING FOR MR. BULLOCK. KUUUKR 111. Fourthly. I will vote for Mr. Bullock because he is a gentleman. Any one who has the honor of his acquaintance knows, from his nffability, kindness, gentleness, and defferential delicacy, that he is not only constitutionally, but by breeding, a gentleman; and not until his great worth had made him prominent among his party was a breath heard to the contrary; and every time I see one of the dirty flings of a dirty party press made at his estima ble character, I feel choked with indigna tion at the wrong, and my sympathy is excited for his worth, and I am anxious to vindicate him by my vote; and I have no doubt but that thousands of voters who appreciate truth and justice will, by the same incentive, be nerved to a like resolve. I know that universal suffrage is a des perate extremity, to which we have been driven by a wrong-headed, obstinate and desperate party; but the question is not between white and black, that is not the true issue, but between loyalty and trea son, between those who have ruined and will again ruin, and those who may ruin the country, between wickedness and ig norance, between ferocity and stupidity, between those who have burned without trial black men, and scourged, tarred and feathered, banished and liung white men for opinion's sake, and those who by their ignorance may bring unknown evils on the country. If the country should again be surren dered to the intolerant and blood-thirsty rebels, the only difference wc shall know between the “good old. day of IJanton and Marat,” and their future rule will be the substitution of freedmen and Republicans for slaves and Abolitionists; and again on false alarms of insurrections, the tar brush, rope and faggot will perform their old offices. If it was between negro suffrage and any other party, even a copperhead party, I might shrink from the former; for the bite of the copperhead is painful, but tlmt of the rattle-snake is death. Even now, when the latter arc on their best behaviour, they can not suppress their bloody threats, such as, that they—the white Republicans—“ought to be hung, and will be hung,” and even are rash enough to threaten in their press the best men in the country with the scaffold. With malice aforethought, in their last Legisla ture, they passed a bill which will hang every Republican in the State; and the ghouls are now muttering, in their hellish rage, “ see-so-Tum, wc smell the blood of loyalists, and will have some.” A tyrant, with a quill behind his car or a sword by his* side, may be terrible, but more terrible than either is a mobocrat witlwi tar brush in one band and a rope in the other. Who can blame men for seek ing refuge under evils they know not of, but which they know can not be worse than those they know from Woeful expe rience, to be unbearable, and are again impending ? Who can blame men, whose sight is offended by the ashes of the stake and the blood of loyal men that still stains the ground, and which cries to heaven for that vengeance denied by the laws of the land, for shrinking from the return of the reign ot terror threatening them ? When ever I have felt doubts as to which of the evils to choose—the known or the un known—l have felt my constancy strength ened by reading one of the articles abusing Mr. Bullock, in the secession press: “ That gilded bug, with painted wings— That ehiid of dirt that stinks and stings." Libkbty. [communicated. QUEUE? If (he wet-nurses who met in caucus at Macon recently, are quarreling over their several services in case of the newly arrived stranger to Democracy—Hon. Augustus Reese—don’t you think the “Democratic Granny," Ben. Hill, ought to “command the peace” between them ? If Sneed and Wright both claim the honors—ought not the ‘'honors to be divided”—one doing the “dirty work” and the other the "perfuming.” Eh ? Squash I THAT FLAG. Mu. Editor —Yo’useem to think thero are no greater humbugs than that man ‘‘Bates,” who goes about “toting the Stars and Stripes through the South.” But wo beg to differ with you, for we happen to know a little man who hang on so close to Butes’ coat tail, while ho sojourned here, that he actually pulled it clean off his hack) and the greatest humbug of all was to see him (who formerly professed to despise the flag) navigating the streets with n subscription list, gathering greenbßcks to replace the coat. Bon Short, A NOT 11 KB RICBAHB IK IHK FIKLD. Judge Irwin, of Marietta, in en address “to the voter* of Georgia,” announces that, in compliance with communications from vari ous portions ot the State, he hat decided to become a candidate for Governor. Thus the Democracy have two candidate*, and two judges to choose between, and possibly bofore the election comes off, they may have half a dozen. The more the merrier for ue. Somehow, the nomination of the Democratic Executive Committee does not seem to carry with it much author, ily, as it is repudiated thus early. Alabama. —There seems to be some doubt whether the bill for the admission of Alabama will pass Congress. Wc hope it will not. If the majority of the people of any State do not wish to return to the Union, let them stay out in the cold till they get tired of it, and ask of their own accord to be permitted to come back. The udmission of Alabama under the circum stances would be the worst of policy, encouraging those who want to go back into the Union but are too cowardly to vote for Reconstruction to stay away from the polls, under the belief that they would be brought back even if they used no effort to get back. Not Accepted. —About a week has elapsed since Judge Reese’s nomination was made by the Junto at Macon, and we arc not yet informed whether lie will accept the nomination. Rumor has it that he will not, but at any rate if he docs not expect to be distanced in the race he ought to start soon. The time between this and election is so short, that among the numer ous Reeses in the State, the Democratic voters ought to have time at least to learn his Christian name. 3ULLOCK AND RELIEF. Editor of the Era: The interest I have taken in the great question of financial relief to the people, since the close of the war, has made me friends in all portions of the State, some of whom, doubtless, would be glad to learn of iny preference for Gov ernor among the candidates already, or who may horeafter become such. There fore, in answer to the inquiries being made of me by friends—by letter and otherwise —you will please give space to this.brief article, in which I pronounce for Hon. R. B. Bullock, of Richmond county, and advise all my friends throughout the State, whom I have met and with whom I have corresponded for three years on the subject of “Relief,” to rally to the support of the nominee now before the people for their suffrages. Mr. Bullock was an able and useful mem ber of the Constitutional Convention, stands fully committed on this vital subject of “Relief,” and fought manfully for its suc cess, as well as for the great cause of Recon struction, during the entire session of the Convention. My advice has been, listen not to the syren song—“nothing can be done.” My advice now is, since something has been done, is, rally to the polls on the 20th of April; vote for “Ratification” and for R. B. Bullock for Governor, and all will yet be well—the dying wail of Shylock, and the Billingsgate of the new fledged Democracy to the contrary, notwithstanding. Jesse W. Jackson. Jhickhead, March 14, 1868. GENERAL GRANT IN THE NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECIION. The New Hampshire election has set the Republicans fair'y upon their legs again. They could hardly be more delighted if they had gained a wholly unexpected success. The prestige of the State elections of last October and November was heavily against them. The proposition of universal negro suffrage, upon which they had been so signally defeated in Übio autl New York, but to which they still stood committed throughout the country in sustaining the Southern reconstruction policy of Congress, was against them ; the heavy taxations, expenditures, frauds in the revenue, and corruptions of all kinds incidental to our heavy taxations, and the gloomy prospect in reference to the lightening of these oppres sive burdens, were all so many dead weights upon the dominant party. It was supposed, too, that the encroachments of Congress upon the Executive Department, and the bills proposed for the reduction of the Supreme Court to a mere appendage of Congres«, would operate to the demoralisa tion of the Republican rank and file to some extent, and that the impeachment prosecu tion against Andrew Johnson would by the New Hampshire people be more apt to be regarded as a desperate and mischievous party proceeding than a public necessity. Yet, against all those drawbacks the Republicans in Now Hampshire held their ground. They triumphed in the late election over all these obstructions in rallying under the flag of General Grant as their candidate for the next Presidency. This was, in fact, the initial fight for testing tho popularity of General Grant as a Presidential candidate, and the result shows that he cannot be beaten. Generals Sickles and Cochrane, under tho banner of Grant, in reviving the political issues of tho rebellion, revived tho old war spirit among the people, and the opposing Copperhead orators brought in from other States to preach tho old Copperhead gospel of the peace Democracy aid good servico for tho Republicans. Thus wo see yet once again that where Copperheadism, with all its obnoxious peace principles and affilia tions during the war, boldly presents itself before tho people, its offensiveness weighs down all the subsequent oppressions, cor ruptions, spoliations, usurpations and revo lutionary measures and schemes of the party which carried through the war against the rebellion. Thus, too, it is apparent that General Grant, as the great Union cham pion of the war, upon his record of the war, and upon his merits as a sound, practical, conservative statesman, has secured in this preliminary field fight a success which emphatically pronounces him the coming man. So much for New Hampshire. Connecti cut comes next —the 6th of April. The largest vote ever cast in Connecticut was that of last year, when, upon a total roturn of some ninety four thousand, English, the democratic candidate for Governor, was elected by a majority of nine hundrod and eighty seven—a tight fit. Hawley, too, had to carry the deadheads of Barnuin and his menagerie, and these deadheads broke down the Republican ticket. What is tho prospect now 7 Among the sneakers at the Radical rejoicings over New Hampshire at Coucord, on election night, was Colonel Ordway, Sergeant at Arms of Congress, who said that “Connecticut would follow New Hamp shire's example as sure ns the sun would set. By that time Johnson would bo impeached (Meaning removed), and the next move would be the nomination of Grant for the Presidency, and all the States would give him a majority but Maryland and Kentucky.” From these remarks it would appear that the Radical programme ietoget Johnson out of the way in season for a clear field in the Connecticut election. Perhape they will fail in this, but in any event it is safe to say that the Democrats will have to work as they never worlied before to hold their possession of Connecticut. The impeachment, it is disdoted, ie no drawback to the Republicans, and it is be cause the Democrats gave the cold shoulder to their best friend, Johnson. His favors, great and small, are thankfully received, but the recipients themselves turn their backs upon Johnson. Politicians, like corporations, have no souls. A benefactor who has nothing more to give is nothing to them. The impeachment prosecution will doubtless be strengthened by this result in New Hamp shire, and nothing hut his resignation, we apprehend, will prevent the removal of Andrew Johnson. The ten outside States bottom end up. will then be reconstructed and restored with all possible dispatch to both houses of Congress and to a voice to the Presi dential election This reconstruction ques tion, well done or badly done, will thus be practically put out of the way, while upon the questions of the finances and taxes we perceive that Congress will shape its legislation to catch the popular breeze of the passing hour, leaving the future to provide for itself. With all these advan tages in their hands for the Presidential campaign, under the banner of Grant, how is this Radical party to be defeated next November? That is the question. Would it not bo well for Mr. August Belmont, Chairman of the Democratic National Executive Committee, to call his committee together and reconsider the appointment of the 4th of July as the day for the meeting of the national party convention ? Why not have a convention forthwith to cast about for anew departure on anew party Elatform, broad ana strong? And why not ave another convention in July, if deemed most expedient, for the nomination of a Presidential ticket ? It is something to he first in the field in view of the floating elements of the country; it is certainly unwise in a party of politicians without a fixed policy or a candidate to wait wholly upon a chapter of accidents to shape their course.— N. Y. Herald. The President Discouraged.— lt is known positively that some of the Presi dent’s counsel were both greatly surprised and very much discouraged by the temper of the Senate regarding the application for a continuance. It appears that Mr. John son, and those immediately around him, had great confidence that enough Republi cans would go with the Democrats to secure all the time he asked. Up to Friday evening he had credited the stories that quite a number of Republican ’Senators would indirectly do all in their power to defeat impeachment, but after the action of the Senate was made known to him, he lost hope and became despondent. Those of his counsel now in the city had a con sultatifh with him Friday night. At first he insisted that Senator Conkling’s motion, ordering the trial to proceed as soon as the managers had filed the replication, unless for cause shown, would easily result in giving him all the delay he requested, but in this view ho was not sustained by his coun sel. Mr. Stanhery the same evening himself expressed in very strong terms about the President’s prospects, and to represent him as saying he believed Mr. Johnson had not a ghost of a chance before the Senate, would be to express his idea in a very mild form. However, very strong effort is to be made in the matter of showing cause and affidavits regarding the necessity of having certain witnesses at a distance, are already in course of preparation. The whole strength of the counsel for defense will be put forth to carry their point. Freedmen’s Affairs. —Several reports have recently been received by General Howard from Assistant Commissioners of the Frecdmcn’s Bureau in the Southern States. The Assistant Commissioner for North Carolina reports that but little land will be cultivated the ensuiug season, unless aid is extended by tho Government. The educa tional work is in a very satisfactory condition. During the last month there were 248 day and night schools open, in Which 265 teachers were employed and 13,422 pupils attended, being an increase in one mouth of 18 schools, 26 teachers, and 914 pupils. Daring the lust month, $4,153 12 in bounties was collected from the Government and paid. Rations were only issued to the inmates of hospitals and asylums for orphans. Total rations issued, 3,555. Total disbursements, $7,917 12. The Assistant Commissioner for Georgia reports that 14,108 rations were issued to tfce inmates of hospitals and asylums, and none whatever elsewhere. There is littla destitution. Schools in operation, 114; teachers employed, 126 ; pupils in attend ance, 7,43S —1,300 more than the previous month—and the schools are increasing as the facilities for receiving pupils are ex tended. New school buildings have re cently been erected at Savannuh, ftlacon, Augusta, Brunswick, and Griffin. Total expenditures for the month, $20,524.85. The report of the operations of the Bu reau in Arkansas, for January, is encour aging. The freedmen manifest a desire to possess lands. There is an abundance of labor, and there are only isolated cases of want; the counties provide for their own poor. The school houses are all occupied and the schools in a flourishing condition. The freedmen express great anxiety about the continuance of the Bureau, fearing that, once retnqved, there is no safety for them. llow he Looks. —A Washington corns pondent, speaking of Thad. Stevens, says : Mr. • Stevens Boon after entered (the Senate Chamber) borne in upon his chair through a side door. He looked about as he has looked any time these three years. No nearer dead than when he has been reported about to step into the grave, and no more alivo than enthusiastic friends have predicted another decade of useful public service for him. He sat at the table with his brother managers, but took no part in the proceedings of the day. Disgusted with Andy. —Jno. Forsyth, of the Mobile Register, has become disgusted with A. J. He says Johnson never affiliated with anything but the lag end of Democracy; that he is and always has been Radically inclined ; that he allowed the Philadelphia Convention to go to nothing ; that he failed to turn Republicans out of office and make room for hungry Democrats, etc., etc. The action of revenue officers in New York, in sei/.ing cotton arriving there from the West, has had a bad influence on the market. The Cincinnati Chamber of Com merce held its regular quarterly session on tho 11th, when tho matter was brought up and discussed with great animation. A preamble und resolutions were adopted, showing the absurdity of tho conduct of the New York officials. The resolutions were ordered to be sent to the Secretary of the Treasury, by tolegrnph, and the Commis sioner of Internal Revenue. In the after noon, a telegram was received from Mr. McCulloch, stating that he had peremptorily ordered all cotton seized to be released, so the difficulty may be regarded as settled. * RATIFICATION MEETING AT DALTON Dalton, Ga , March 14,1868. According to previous notice, a goodly number of the citizens of Whitfield county met in the Court House in Dalton, to give expression to their views in reference to the Constitution framed by the Convention, as also their views of the nominee. Col. R. B. Bullock, tbeir standard bearer' in the ap proaching Gubernatorial election. On motion of Col. Broyles, the Rev. J. T. Compton was called to the chair, and Robt. Batey requested to act as Secretary. At the instance of the Chair, Col. Broyles was requested to state the object of the meet ing. We subjoin a syuopsis of bis remarks. On motion of Capt. Jas. Glenn, a com uiiUee ol five was appointed to draft resolu tions expressive to the sense of the meeting. The Chair appointed Capt. Jas. Glenn, Robt. Batey, C. E. Broyles, E. Coffee and Dr. L. P. Gudger. The committee, after a short absence, re ported the following through Capt. Glenn, their chairman : Resolved, That we will cheerfully extend the right hand of fellowship to all who will firmly plant themselvei upon the Constitu tion as framed by the Constitutional Con vention, ignoring all past political difference, and will unite es a baud of brothers in the ratification of the Constitution, believing it to be the only speedy way to peace and prosperity, and a restoration of our State to her political relations in the Union. Resolved, That the action of the Conven tion, in the passage of the relief measures and homestead bill meet our entire ap proval. Resolved, That we plant ourselves upon the Constitution of the Convention, as a platform of principles, and will cheerfully support the Hon. R. B. Bullock as the Republican nominee for Governor, pledging him onr united support. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be sent to the editors of the Allan's Daily Era, and the North Georgia Republi can, with a request that they bo published, and papers friendly to the cause are re quested to copy. The Chair appointed Robert Batey and W. W. West as delegates to the Convention to nominate a candidate for Congress, from this District, to meet at Kingston, the 12th instant. Calhoun, in Gordon county, was fixed upon as the place, and Wednesday, the 25th instant, fixed as a suitable time to nominate a Senator for this Senatorial District. And Saturday, the 20th instant, the day for hold ing a county meeting to nominate county officers. John T. Compton, Chairman. Robt. Batey, Secretary. SUICIDE OF A WJZAIID. The Cleveland Leader contains the fol lowing correspondence, dated March 6, from Meadville, Ohio: Before this comes to hand you will have learned that Professor Anderson, the well known prestidigitateur, committed suicide last night in Cincinnati, by shooting, first killing his little son. The cause, no doubt, was domestic trouble. A dispatch was received here this morning from Cincinnati, stating that Mrs. Anderson would no doubt be on the Eastern hound express train, which arrives about 10 o’clock, and in company with a man, who was described. A telegram to Mrs. Anderson was also sent, which, if she was discovered, was to be given to her. Mrs. Anderson was on the train, and in company with the man de scribed, whose name is Morris, an individual who had been in the employ of Professor Anderson as a supernumerary. When the dispatch was banded to her, Morris reached out his hand and took it, opened and read it, and then handed it to the victim of his wiles. It read about as follows: “Your hus band last killed your little boy, and then shot himself. They are both dead. Come back, for God’s sake !” The poor creature was quite crushed by the awful news, but struggled to her feet and left the car, the man Morris following her. She went into the McHenry House, and re mained till the afternoon express train left, when she started for her desolate home. The appearance of the couple attracted attention on the train. She seemed to be dejected and laboring under great distress of mind, and paid but little attention to him, who talked to her almost incessantly in a low tone of voice. She is represented to be a fine looking woman, of thirty-five years of ago, with a face indicating a weakness rather than wickedness. No punishment could he too severe for the wretch who is the author of this terrible tragedy. We pity the poor, ruined woman. GENERAL ITEMS. The Concord Statesman pledges Grant five thousand majority in New Hampshire next fall. The Connecticut election takes place April 6. The Democrats carried the State last year by nearly one thousand majority. The Lynchburg (Va.) News thinks the result of the New Hampshire election is “rather incompatible with the idea so sedu lously inculcated by the Democratic press of an immense revolution in the popular mind against the Radical party.” With reference to the impeachment, it is said to be a rather singular coincidence that the last previous case of impeachment was that of Judge Humphreys, of Tennessee, who was impeached upon the testimony of Andrew Johnson ; and that one of the man agers prosecuting that impeachment was Mr. Pendleton, who is a presidential rival of Mr. Johnson for the Democratic nomina tion. A Washington dispatch says that the Ways and Means Committeo are endeavoring to fix upon a revenue system which will be reliable for $300,000,000. There present hope is to secure fifty millions dollars from whiskey, twenty five millions from tobacco, fifteen millions from oils, twenty millions from stamps, fifteen millions from licenses, thirty millions from incomes, eight millions from railroads, and the balance from cus toms. A moustache spoon is said to be one of tho latest Yankee inventions, the object being to provide a spoon by means of which soup, medicine, etc., may be carried to the mouth without liability of being spilled or of soiling the moustache. The invention consists of a movable cover so combined with the bowl of the spoon that it may cover the greater portion. It also consists in the combination of a lever and a spring with the spoon and the cover, & that tho latter may be readily closed or opened. The Internal Revenue Bill, which passed the House of Representatives on Tuesday last, with but* two dissenting votes, and is now pending in the Senate, repealed all parts of tho Internal Revenue laws which lay a tax upon domestic manufactures, excepting so much of them as relate to the takes imposed on gas made of coal, wholly or in part, or of any other material on illumina ting, lubricating, or other mineral oils, or articles the products of tho distillation, rcdistilUtion, or refining of crude petroleum, or of a single distillation of coal, shale, peat, asphaltum, or other bituminous substnuces ; on wines and on snuff, aud all the other manufactures of tobacco, including cigar ettes, cigars, and cheroots. The particular portions of the law repealed, are sections 94 and 95 of the Internal Revonue law of June 30, 1864, and subsequent aq[s amendatory of theso sections, and the repeal is to take effect on and after May Ist, 1868.
