The respective hosts have chosen their leaders and Raised their standard. The issue is made up. The National Republican will be found battling, in 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 The National Republican effective in the great work before us, we propose the following liberal RATES FOB THE CAMPAIGN : DAILY, tingle copy, 3 month! SI.OO 11 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. THE LAST?OPPORTUNITY. It would be well enough for the people of Georgia to reflect upon the consequences of rejecting the new Constitution and defeating reconstruction. They are urged to do so by the Democratic leaders, under the idea that something will turn up by which, when the State is readmitted, it shall go hack Democratic. These old party hacks know that, at present, there is no chance for them to gather the spoils, and they are willing that Georgia shall continue in her present anomalous condi tion, deprived of her national rights, under a military government, lagging behind in the course of prosperity, and with all her vast resources undeveloped, merely that they may have a better chance to rule and reap the rewards of office—rewards granted by a Constitution which they pretend to repudiate and despise. But the probability that something will occur to promote the -wishes of these selfish leaders, grows less every day. Their accomplice in the Presidential chair, to whom they owe the encouragement which prompted them to oppose recon. struction, is undergoing a trial whose end will be his ejection from office, and his retirement to private life, deprived, not only of his power for evil, but ol the little reputation he ever had for patriotism and statesmanship. The prospects for General Grant’s triumphant election to the Presi dency have already become certainties. He has showed himself to be in full ac cordance with the policy of Congress, and, therefore, he is not likely to give better terms to a State which contumaciously remains out of the Union, than those which Congress has already offered. The hope of the election of a Democratic Presi dent grows daily fainter. What is there, then, to justify the idea that anything can possibly “turn up” which will procure better terms, or give power to the Demo cratic leaders ? Yet, upon this ghost of a chance for a return to power, those leaders exhort the people to defeat reconstruction and re main out of the Union. It may be fun for tfiem, but it is death to the best interests of the State, and the people may assure themselves that if the present op portunity is lost, another sucli is not likely to occur at an early day. They may de lude themselves with the idea that it they refuse to go back, they may be forced to do that which they want to have done, not by their instrumentality, but recent indi cations justify the belie! that the Republi can party in Congress feel themselves strong enough to do without the unrecon structed States, and will suffer those who make no effort to go back to remain out and take the consequences. From a sin cere desire that the country shall be re united and again made one nation, the Republican party desire that reconstruc tion should be speedily effected, but they feel that they have little political necessity for it, and after the presidential election the necessity will lie less. If the present opportunity is neglected, there is uot likely to occur another in years to come. Nothing will “ turn up.” It will most probably be said to us, if you can get along without the National Gov ernment, the Government can do very well without you, and tilt door will not again bo opened for oar rctatta until wear* found knocking at Jt and begging aebnisdon. The people should not surfer themselves to be deceived by knavish politicians, with the idee that the time wijl come when we can dictate out own terms to the nation, and, thcreforeTtliat we can take our own time for reconstruction. The chance that such un era will occur, grows less and less every day, and no man but the most im pudent and unreasonably can venture to predict when another opportunity will occur for us to resume our proper place among the galaxy of States. Slrnll we cast away our present chance for the sake of some empty hope in the future ? vAIUE'I Y OF OPINION. It is nmusing to notice the plunges made by the disorganizes to find fault -with the Reconstruction candidate for Governor. Some say he is anew comer— a “carpet baggerothers, a “Massachu setts Yankee;” others again, that he aided the rebellion by ‘‘feeding the sol diers,” etc., etc. We are aware that the sore heads do not wish to know the tacts ; but we can say for their information that Col. Bul lock is a native of the Empire State of the North—the State of New York—a State -whose people are known everywhere as being industrious, enterprising, and suc cessful, without any of the proscriptive political notions that are charged upon the Eastern States. He has been a citizen of Georgia some twelve or fifteen years, actively identified with our people, and and with their best interests; has a very limited acquaintance with jioliticians or laicyers, but is well and favorably known to the practical business men of the State, and of the South generally—a reputation far more acceptable to the honest masses than that of a political hack or trickster. Calling Col. Bullock a “Yankee carpet bagger,” is too stale to pass current. HR BID "not"SAY IT ! Joseph Brown is on a stumping tour through North Georgia, asking the people to vote for a man for Governor whose election he has said “would bankrupt the State !” Is he to have it all his own way up there again I—Journal and Messenger, 18/A. We have the best of authority for say ing that Governor Brown made no such statement in reference to Col. Bullock. Tho thing is totally false—a flimsy trick gotten up to cheat the voters of Georgia.— New Era. And we may look for all such tricks and all such movements upon the part of all the Obstructionist papers in the State. Wc know of one despicable falsehood now being used in the country to influence the colored voters of the State that we intend to expose. It is this: “If you freedmen vote for Col. Bullock for Gov ernor, and ratify the Constitution, you will never own a foot of land.” We con fidently and boldly proclaim this a lie, made out of whole cloth—say it who will. Fail to vote for the Constitution—fail to vote for the regular nominee of the Con vention—Col. Bullock —and you never will own a foot of land, nor your children after you. And you landless and homeless white men of Georgia—for your wives’ and children’s sakes, and for you own—never consent or countenance the so-called Demo cratic movement in Georgia! Let Ben Hill and Dave Irwin, and Gus Reese and “Oconee Wright” “tote their own skillets” —you keep away from them. “Touch not, taste not, handle not the unclean thing.” Let but a failure be made to elect Colonel Bullock, upon the platform of the Consti tution, and let but the lands of Georgia be sacrificed at 5 and 10 cents per acre to the speculators, and neither will cither landless white or colored men ever secure to them selves the inestimable right to a homestead which no human power may, or can here after bereft them of. Companies of men are now being formed for the express purpose of buying up the lauds that may be offered for sale, for speculation. HUNGRY SOULS. A more disgraceful scene than that now being enacted by the opponents of Recon struction and of tlie new Constitution can hardly be imagined, and we are sure has never before been witnessed in our gcod old State. Already two candidates are put forward by the self-styled Democracy to grab for the office of Governor of the State, under a Constitution which they despise and spit upon as being the work of “scalawags” and “niggers.” No matter how nauseous the dose may be, they are ever ready to shut their eyes open their mouth, and gulp it down, pro vided they can thereby live in fat offices at the public expense. Political vagrants as they are, they must have aims, office, or perish. HONEST MAN. Tlie Covington Examiner is too honest to follow the orders of the Macon rulers and sing both “tweedledum” and “twaddledeo” —one verse againßt the Constitution and the next in favor of the offices. Speaking of Ben Hill’s Atlanta speech, he says : “He shows to the world the .hideousness of tho designs of the bogus Convention, and the fraud and deception embodied in the Constitution they are endeavoring to force upop the people of Georgia, and calls upon the people to unite in one grand, deter mined effort to free themselves from this impending disgrace.” Now, we like this. It is manly and honest, when one don’t like a thing, to say so, and slick to it; but for these political leeches, who damn tho Constitution, and yet beg for help to get its offices, we have the utmost contempt. “East or tub OConeb.”—W* find the following rather significant paragraph in the Macon Telegraph, of Sunday: Wo feel constrained to say thut tlie spccia dispatch to the Augusta Chronicle Irom this eily, announcing the nomination of Judge ltecsc, on the motion of a certain member of the committee, does not accord with tlie filets as they appear on the minutes. When somebody found that ha was sim ply nobody, so far us the prospects of his nomination was concerned, did he sock eclat with Judge Reese by pretending that ho secured him the nomination 7 — Opinio)!. SEN BILL—A DIMYCRAI. Bditor National Bej/übliean : tW Dear Si*-The idea that Ben. Bill and his satellites in Georgia are* Democrats, is without doubt the most laughably ridicu lous position ever assumed by any men. A Democrat! “From such, Good Lord, de liver us!” A Democrat! Claiming a front seat in the “Amen comer” of tho “Democratic Church.” Why, sir, hell is peopled by just such “ Church members," amongst the “fourty-four” sound men of the North that we heard so much gab about years ago! Right with them—hand and glove—check by jowl—with that grand crowd ! Good Lordy ! save us 1 Like Captain Scott’s coon, we should “gin in”—ami save the ammunition 1 But Bon is right smart in one thing—they couldn’t get him to consent to try another race for Govern v; he is sore on that point, for he lenew very well that neither he nor any other Obstructionist in Georgia stood any more chance of election than “a cat in , without claws, attempting to get out!” lam really sorry that Gus. Reese allowed the caucus to “put him in training.” lie really deserves a better fate than awaits him; for Col. Bullock will run so far ahead of him—at least 40,000 votes —that he will hardly know he is in the race ! With the best Constitu tion Georgia ever had for a platform, and good candidates for all the offices squarely upon it, there is nothing to fear. On with the column! “Old Wilkes.” March 10, 18G8.

Haralson aud Paulding, formerly in the third, have, we presume, been abolished, as they do not appear in any of the Districts as reported in Ihe Atlanta papers. Perhaps the printer is at fault. Northern Georgia. —The Democratic press labor to produce the impression that Colonel Bullock has little strength in Upper Georgia. To prove the contrary, we extract from the speech of Colonel Broyles, at a meeting at Dalton, lately, the following : The meeting wa3 addressed by Col. C. E. Broyles, in a speech of near an hour. He commenced by congratulating the friends of peace and reconstruction upon the standard bearer. He was satisfied tho selection of Colonel R. B. Rullock was a wise ami patri otic move. He contended that his financial ability was a fixed fact, while his adminis trative ability was manifest in the part he acted in framing the Constitution now to be ratified. He had heard but one objection to Colonel Bullock, and it did not rise to the dignity of an argumeut—that was, that he came from New Hampshire some years ago. He said he had ever been a Democrat, and his first entrance into political life was in opposition to Know Nothingism in 1855. It was then he and Democrats held that the birth-place of a man was no test for office, but the road to honor was open to ail men. Franklin Pierce came from the granite hills of New Hampshire, and every Democrat then de lighted to honor him. Again, Andrew John son said, to his credit, in that contest, that the “world was his home, and an honest man his brother.” He showed that the Democracy of nowa days meant office. This was their principle, and that, for the sake of office, some were willing to gulp down the Constitution, others to swear by its unholy purposrs—provided they could fill the offices, and were now attempting to rob the parly of its platform and drive the Architect from the house of his own workmanship—an unfair, foul tvork, and such a work us no one but a Democrat would be guilty of. He reviewed Mr. Hill’s objections to the Constitution, denying that the social status of the races was changed by the action of the Convention. The right of a man to control his society and ingress to his house was as old as common law. Besiles, we had laws interdicting marriage between the races, and ibis was not contravened by tbe clause in tbe new Constitution that no ordinary or minister would ever issue license, or unite in marriage a white man or woman with a negro. The Courts would so decide this question. He said the right to ccrtwri all cases, even where the amount was under fifty dollars, did exist, and Mr. Hill knew it. He then argued the school system, and showed con clusively thut he did not contemplate a union of children there, but left it to the Legislature to arrange a system which would ever be just to all. Would Resignation Stop Trial?— Since the report became current that Mr. Johnson might resign in case the points ho iutends to make against the proceedings of the Senate aro decided adversely to him by a party vote, the question as to the effect of ■ uch resignation has engaged tho general attention of lawyers. Opinion appears to bu very much divided upon tho matter. Somo lawyers of high standing, and among them some who are known to sympathise with Mr. Johnson, hold that such attion oil the part of tho President would not of neces sity prevent the Senate from proceeding with the trial and pronouncing its judgment. On the other hand, lawyers of both political parties muiutain that such a stop would be a complete bar to further proceedings.— Exchange. [From tho Atlanta Era. SPEECH OF GOVERNOR JOSEPH E. BROWN. Delivered at Marietta, Go., Wednesday, March 18 th, 1868. Fellow Citizens: On the 20th day of next month an election takes {dace of the moat momentous consequence to the people ot Georgia. This election is. to determine whether the State is th be restored to her position in the Uniop, or whether we are to remain for an unknown length of time in a state of anarchy and confusion, or under military government, with all our mnterial interests paralyzed and our day of returning prosperity indefinitely postponed. On that day the people have to say by their ballots whether the Constitution adopted by the Convention shall be ratified or rejected, and they have to choose a Governor, members of Congress and members of the State Legisla ture. Aud in this eonnection I wish to state that our new Constitution, taken as a whole is a decided improvement upon tho old one, if we say nothing about the right of-suffrage conferred upon the black people of the Slat*, which all knew before tho Convention met was a foregone conclusion. Indeed, it is a positive requirement of the conqueror, without which wo can not be restored to our position in the Union. THE CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR—BULLOCK. We have three candidates for Governor— Col. Bullock, the regular nominee of the Reconstruction party of the State, who is a gentleman of good character, personal in tegrity, first rate business habits, and excel lent common sense. These are the essen tial qualities of a good Executive officer. Col. Bullock was a prominent member of the Convention, aided in forming the Con stitution, and fully endorses it. He stands fairly and squarely upon it as his platform. He is a strong relief man, and, if elected, will execute the laws on that subject in good faith and without equivocation or double dealing. He was a strong Union man during the war, and still remains in the same faith. If elected, he will move off smoothly and harmoniously, in accord with the Federal Government, which will be infinitely better than the election of a man who may not be regarded its friend, or who may be elected because of his hostility to it. As we are now seeking peace, I think it is best that we do nothing to irritate. Let us put the friends of the Government and those who sustain its policy in position, while we are seeking to restore fellowship with it. JUDGE REESE. Os Judge Reese, the so-called Democratic candidate, I have little to say. He is known to be bitterly opposed to the Whole plan of reconstruction. His action has been inhar monious with the government, pending the proposition for reconstruction. He is under stood to be opposed to the Constitution, op posed to the relief measures, and opposed to the reconstruction policy in toto. JUDGE IRWIN. The third and last candidate is Judge Irwin, your fellow townsman, who, if I cor rectly interpret his letter announcing him self a candidate, is riding the race with one foot on each horse. He is sorter for, and somewhat against reconstruction and oppo sition. Like the old man's cow, his tracks are to be found on both sides of the branch. When the reconstruction acts were passed, he was for a time a very decided outspoken opponent of the measures. They grew in popularity, and were likely to be a success, »nd before the election the Judge became an advocate of the Convention. His friends took him up, and run his name, and elected him a member of that body. He declined to take his seat on the ground that it did not become a Judge to mingle in politics. He is still a Judge, and does not hesitate to run for the office of Governor, while he holds the office of Judge. If it were wrong then for a Judge to mingle in politics, is it not wrong now ? If the position of member of the Convention was political, what say you of that of Governor. But why did Judge Irwin neglect to’tell the people, of Georgia where he now stands on the vital question which enters into the canvass ? When he asks us to put him in the high and respectable office of Governor, justice to the whole people requires that he define his position. We can take no man on trust now, and especially no one whose record on the reconstruction measures is inconsistent with itself. Is Judge Irwin in favor of the ratification ot the Constitution, or is he against it ? Is he in favor of the relief measures incorporated into the Constitution, or is he against them ? Does he believe them to be constitutional or ancoiistitutional? Is he for or agaiust the Homestead Law, as incorporated into the Constitution ? Does he believe it constitu tional or unconstitutional ? Is he in favor of abolishing imprisonment for debt, or is he opposed to it ? Is he for the common school system, as provided by the Constitution, or is he against it ? These are vital questions on which a candidate for Governor can not play mum, and expect the voters of Georgia to sustain him. As Judge Irwin has failed to tell us where he stands, I will tell you. He is, I am satisfied, opposed to the ratification of the Constitution. He is bitterly opposed to the relief measures incorporated into that in strument. He believes they are unconstitu tional, and will net on that belief if elected Governor of Georgia, and will appoint judges with a view to their position oil that subject, who will rule them to he unconsti tutional. He is opposed to the Homestead Law, as it forms part of tho Constitution. He is opposed to abolishing imprisonment for debt, and opposed to the common school system as provided for in the Constitution. I do not believe I have misrepresented him upon a single point. Indeed, I am confi dent l have not. If I have, let him come out in another letter to the people of the State without delay, and tell us distinctly how he does stand upon each one of these vital points. No dodging, no double dealing. This is manly. This is his duty. Ido not arraign Judge Irwin for his opinions on these questions. He has as much right to them as he had to the opinion that tho stay law was unconstitutional, and as much right to them as thousands of others who honestly hold the same views he does on all these questions. I entortain no unkind feelings personally for tho Judge, nor do I intend any personal attack ; iny remarks apply to his political position. Personally, he is a clever gentleman and a good citizen. But I do insist that ho has no right to conceal his opinions with a view to get the votes of those who support the Constitution, and all those other great measures to which he is in sacs opposed. This would not be either manly or fair. The views -of Col. Bullock are known ou every one of these quostions. Why should Judge Irwin soek to conceal his? Let him come out with them. The people domand it and will be satisfied with nothing less. [continued to moiirow.] Personal. —Mr. Barnum, upon being asked if he had lost all by the fire, replied : “No, I have not lost iny spirits, my appetite, nor tho means of gratifying it—in fact, I expect I have got enough left to spoil my children, unless, happily, I manage to spend sortie of it before I have done with it—of which there seems to be a fair prospect.” Ho has resisted all inducements offered for starting anew museum, being fully resolved fropt this time to retire from business. Mr. Barnum still retains his residence in Fair field, and will settle down for the present in his now houso, on State street extension,— Bridgeport (Conn.) Standard, March 14. [Spaeial Dispatch** to tho Row York Ti n«s. NEWS FROM WASHINGTON. WakbinotoE, Sunday, March 15. THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL. It is evident that the President and his friends aro not so sanguine of hit acquittal now as they were in the Senate on Friday. His counsel are engaged in preparing affida vits from different sources, to be presented next Monday, when the ease comes up. They again declare that it will be impossi ble to obtain the necessary evidence to proceed without further delay, and hope to make good in their last effort to obtain it. The fact that the managers carried their point on Friday, and succeeded in obtaining an early day for the filing of the answer, etc., as well as their evident deter mination to prevent any further procrastina tion, as evinced particularly in Gen. Butler’s speech, has demoralized ihe Administration to no small extent. Tho President himself had great hopes that a sufficient number of Republicans would join with the Democratic Senators in the vote to grant him forty days time, but being disappointed is now inclined to doubt tbc.fiuul result, as he has never doubted it belore. The statement has been made iu positive terms that, in the secret deliberations of the Senate, on Friday, on the question of how much time should he granted Mr. Johnson in which to make answer, four Republican Senators voted with the Democrats in favor of granting the full limit asked—forty days. I do not know that any one would have a right to impugn their motives, even were it true ; but as it is utterly untrue, it should be corrected. The facts are that the motion for forty days was not even voted on. A proposition to allow until the 20th inst., one week, was first adopted by a vote of twenty eight yeas to twenty nays. Mr. Trumbull, who voted in the affirmative, then moved <o reconsider, in order that he might offer as a substitute a proposition to fix the time for the 23d inst., three days later, making ten days the time to be allowed. Four Senators who had voted in the majority on the first proposition changed their votes. The recon sideration was carried, and Mr. Trumbull’s proposition was agreed to. * The question as to whether the actual votes and proceedings during the secret deliberations shall go upon the record of the Court will probably be brought np in the. Senate to morrow for decision. When the Senate retired on Friday they took the Clerk with them, and several motions were made, and several yea and nay votes were had ; but it seems there is a question whether these proceedings shall form part of the record. Most of tho Senators in fist that they shall so long as they were had, and that it their arguments and votes in consultation are not to be a part of the record, then there should be no votes upon any question until the Senators remitter the Chamber. It is very likely that the record will cover these pro ceedings a3 well as others, and that there will be no secresy beyond the remarks that may be made during the consultation. SUPREME COURT JURISDICTION. The effect of the act passed on Thursday J)V both Houses seems to be misunderstood and exaggerated in some quarters. The act, of Feb. 5, 1867, amendatory of the Judiciary act of 1789, provided, among other things, for the appeal of habeas corpus cases from the United States Circuit Court to the United States Supreme Court. This provision, of about four fines, is simply repealed. The only class of Reconstruction cases it Can affect are those coming up on habeas corpus, which, of course, includes the MeArdle case. Should the Supreme Court render a decision in this case on or before the 23d inst., then the repeal will not affeet it, as it will not be a law until the 2olli inst. SENATOR WADE. Senator Ben Wade has already received about a hundred applications for appoint ment to office under him when he shall have become President. One of them refers to his future tenure of office as “ad interim." NATIONAL FINANCE. One of the most original as well as one of the ablest financial speeches yet made was delivered in the House a few days ago by Hon. Mr. Lynch, representing the Portland district of Maine, and himself a merchant and business man of much experience. He advocates neither contraction nor inflation, but believes the speediest and safest way in which to return to specie payments is to let the volume of currency remain untouched, as the business of the country will work up to and absorb it. He proposes to reach specie payments at an early day by an announcement from the Government that it is ready to redeem greenbacks in gold ; and by requiring the National Banks to redeem in greenbacks. To relieve panic or tightness in the money market he would make a portion of the national debt convertible at the will of the holders into currency ; and the currency again into bonds, similar to the elastic sections of Mr. Sherman’s bill, which idea Mr. Lynch was the first to propose iu the House more than a year ago, together with several other features, which have been adopted in the bills introduced by Mr. Butler, Mr. Williams, and others on this subject. The speech abounds in conservative and practical suggestions. Senator Sherman’s funding bill comes up in the Senate to morrow again ; but he does not expect a vote on it until after the im peachment trial is finished. THE CONNECTICUT CAMPAIGN. The campaign movements in Connecticut will be largely reinforced the present week by a dozen or more eloquent Republican speakers. lion. H. 11. Starkweather, tho able representative of the New London District, leaves to morrow night, and Sonators Wilson, Harlan and Thayer will promptly follow him. Governor Woods, of Oregon, will go on Thasday, and Messrs. Eli, of New Hampshire ; Stokes, of Tenn.; Williams and Coburn, of Indiana; Graffield, of Ohio, and Donnelley, of Minnesota, will follow during the week. OEN. SICKLES. Although the statement that Gen, Sickles bad been ordered to the command of the Twentieth Regiment, United States In fantry, at Now Orleans, is not true, yet it-is true that very recently General Sickles has been ordered to the headquarters of his regiment, which are at Sackett’s Harbor, New York, with five companies at the barracks in this city. Before proceeding to his command, however, he will respond to the summons of the impeachment man agers, who desire his testimony on certain points of the investigation. He will appear here prior to the 25th instant. It is very probable that the order for him to proceed to his command was one of the results of the Republican majority iu New Hamp shire.
