THE CAMPAIGN.
No one can overestimate the importance

Restoration of Georgia, for the new Con

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

ABSURDITIES OF THE DEMO CRA CT
If we were not fully aware of the designs
of the Democratic party, which always
pursues its ends by tortuous and indirect
methods, we should suppose that its pre
sent course was of that of men blinded by
prejudice and verging upon idiocy. Their
position—to the view of all those who do
not look below the surface and investigate
the hidden workings of their policy—ap
pears to be this: while repudiating the
new Constitution and advising the people
to reject it, they are working for the elec
tion of officers under it, and have actually
before the people two candidates for Gov
ernor whose office is created by the Consti
tution, without the ratification of which
neither candidate, if elected, will find the
office to fill. They advise their partizans
to be candidates for the other offices created
by the same Constitution—in effect, they
are after all the offices, but they, with ap
parent inconsistency, wish to destroy the
very power that creates the offices. “The
cohesive power of the public plunder”
seems to be as potent with this new party,
headed by old nullifiers and disunionists, as
with the old party against whom that arch
nullifier, Calhoun, made that memorable
declaration.
But the absurdity of their position is
more apparent than real. Their madness
has a method in it. The key of their ap.
parent inexplicable proceedings is found
in their inexcusable and insatiable lust for
office. For this, they are now, and have
always been, ready to sacrifice everything—
even their country itself. For this, they
brought on secession and plunged the
country into a sea o£ ruin and bloodshed.
Nobody supposes that if there had been
any prospect that they could have retain
ed power and office they would have
brought upon the country the hor
rors of the late attempt at disunion. Had
there been no danger that the Democratic
candidate for the Presidency would have
been defeated—had not the public teat
been about to be snatched from the party
mouth—there had been no secession, no
Southern Contederacy, no war.
As they have ever been, so are they now.
The party, it is true, has fallen under the
leadership of old Whigs, and men who
were once ultra Union men, but have
become the most furious of secession
ists ; but when once a man suffers himself
to be called by the name of Democrat, his
whole nature seems to become immedi
ately perverted, and he becomes more De
mocratic than the Democracy. This new
fangled faction possesses, to the fullest ex
tent, the attributes of the party whose
name they have arrogated to themselves.
Their predecessors only claimed, as their
proscriptive right and heir-loom, to hold
all the offices pulcr a Constitution whose
authority neither they or anybody else
denied; but here is a party claiming ull
the offices under a State Government which
they boisterously proclaim to be unconsti
tutional and of no authority. While repu
diating the new Constitution, they claim
all the offices under it; while pretending
to be revolted at the mess which “scala
wags and niggers” have cooked for them,
they arc gaping with mouths wide open
for a spoonful of the pap to be distributed
to them. Gorge them, and they care not
a straw who cooked the porridge.
Now, arc the people of Georgia going to
be cheated by the machinations of thcec
scheming tricksters. Tho sincerity of
their patriotism is to be judged by their
past. They have nearly ruined the coun
try that they might prosper. They lost in
their wicked game, but they lost not only
what was their own—and the retribution
was not equal to their crime— hut hazard
ed, like a thieving gamester, and lost what
was not their own, but belonged to confi
ding people more honest than themselves.
They are about to play their old game.
They arc ahout to risk not only whatever
they have of their own wealth and charac
ter, but the hopes of peace and prosperity
of a people still too willing to confide in
them, notwithstanding their experience of
their utter political depravity and worth
lessness. These hypocrites are calling upon
that people to elect them to office under a
Constitution which they pretend to believe
to be void and of no effect. Can any sane
man confide in their sincerity, when he
finds them in one breath vehemently de
manding the rejection of the Constitution,
and, in the next, asking to be elected to
the offices which that very Constitution
creates ? Their acts falsify their words.
In one or the other arc they traitors to the
people, and will play the same game which
has heretofore brought the State and the
country to the verge of ruin.
THE CARPETBAG NOMINEE.
Col. R. B. Bullock, the nominee of the
Radical Convention for Governor, is
perhaps the most respectable of the carpet
bag school of political adventurers who are
now seeking to control the State. Per
sonally he is affable, pleasant and obliging,
and we do not propose to make any
personal war upon him, We have for
years been the recipient of favors so ireely
lavished upon the Press, by the Express
Company he represents, but a proper
appreciation of those courtesies must not
be considered in dealing with him as a
nominee for Governor of the State. He
is the ally and expondent of the carpet bag
knights who have come down South for the
purpose of propagating Northern ideas. He
is himself full of their bigoted theories. He
is not a man of such intellectual capacity
as to fit him for the executive office. He
is a very crudo writer, and as a speaker
has made no sign. He is a novice in law,
and his experience in public life is limited
to his intermittent labors in the scalawag
convention.
The only claim that can possibly be urged
in his behalf is, that he is a good business
man. It is not stated how the management
of a division of an express company fit a
man for the complex duties of the Governor
of a State. Though he has resided for
several years in the State, and has been
engaged in a most lucrative business, we are
not aware that he has ever spent a dollar to
secure a home among our people. He may
properly be termed au adventurer. He has
allied himself with the meanest element of
the meanest body oi men that ever tempted
Divine mercy in a deliberative capacity.
During the Convention he was the active
supporter of every scheme to control the
negro influence, and at its close his white
aud black allies shamed Paudemonium in
druuken orgies at the Atlanta bar rooms
over his nomination. A man of such calibre,
with such a record, and such associations, is
not the man which the people of Georgia
should select to till the first office in the
State.— Southern Banner, March 'loth.
Now, our readers no doubt suppose that
Ben. Hilo, Oconee Wright, or some other
‘‘Democratic Horu-snogoler ” wrote the
above. They may suppose that some one
of those “fossil remains” exhumed Irom the
dead past, gave expression to the above
sentiments —unmindful of one great truth
not yet understood; and it really seems diffi
cult to punch into the brain of some peo
ple, that a man of such calibre as Col. Bul
lock possesses, far surpasses tho lack-brain
stump-orators and jack-leg lawyers of the
past.
But to “our mutton”—not one of these
wise men of the East of the Oconee or West
of it, wrote the above, but a “carpet bag
ger” from away “down East,” and “Sim
eon,” as Nathan said unto David, “Tbou
art the man.”
But fids is enough. We pass on to the
“bigoted theories”—“not of such intellectual
capacity as to fit him for the Executive
office”—“he is a no/ice in law”—“a crude
writer,” and “no speaker,” etc.
Again: one question as to the abuse
sought to be heaped upon the members ol
the Georgia Convention. Will the Banner
man answer, or will any other “Democratic
Horn-snoggler” answer one question ? It is
this? Was not there as good and as patri
otic men in that Convention as any other
Convention ever convened in Georgia be
fore ? Were there not as honorable men, as
responsible men as ever attended any public
assembly in this or any other State? Were
not these men as much interested in the
welfare of Georgia—as much bound by ties
to her people? Did they not have wives and
children, and friends and property, for
whom and for which they were as much
interested as could have been, or as can be
any others ? Why, then, use this wholesale,
scurrilous abuse ? Away with such infa
mous proscription. Away with such “fossil
remains” of a dead, buried, cursed, and for
ever-to-be condemned inode of conducting a
campaign! If you differ in opinion, use
your privilege to differ with your neighbor ;
hut remember that he has the same right to
differ with you 1
Col. Bullock is nn earnest man—a
business man of enlarged ideas, without a
scintilla of bigotry or suporstition as to tho
ghosts of the dead past. Holms intellectual
capacity to comprehend our situation and an
administrablo ability equal to tho occasion.
While he has never read the law, there is
no ono, we venturo to say, who will have a
more determined will to execute the laws
he has so faithfully labored to have made
than ho will evince when he becomes the
Governor of Georgia, in May next. As to
his writing, we know he can “make his
mark,” anyhow, for ho hns done so already
in his efforts to secure the rights and
immunities ho did at Atlanta* to the poor
and helpless debt-ridden people of his
adopted State, and, moreover, his very
reticenee as to speaking on the stump, or
elsewhere, is a recommendation to our
people, who are sick and worn out with
gab, gab, gab— which they will bo sure to
heed.

"Washington, March 16,1868.
The peace of Washington remains un
disturbed, but there is a sense of inse
curity felt by loyal people generally,
arising in part from the reticcnco of the
President, the hints thrown out by his
personal friends, and the character of the
men who make daily visits to the White
House. It is believed that Mr. Johnson,
goaded almost to madness by his failure
to gain over to his purposes the principal
officers of the Army, is reckless aud des
perate enough to commit any overt act,
if by so doing he could thwart the objects
of Congress. When such men as Black,
Blair, Mosby, Stephens, and other well
known Southern sympathizers, are taken
into council by the Chief Executive, think
ing men believe it bodes no good to the
Republic. During the last three weeks,
not less than five hundred men who took
a leading part in the late rebellion, as if
actuated by some common purpose, have
made their appearance in Washington.
The hints thrown out by some of these
men, the recent disturbances in Tennessee,
and private information from different
portions of the South, all seem to indicate
that the President of the United States
has been feeling the pulse of the disloyal
element throughout the country, to ascer
tain upon whom he could rely in case he
should decide to resist the action of Con
gress. Whether there be any deep laid
scheme or not, one thing is certain, the
leading men here believe the indications
sufficient to warrant the taking of precau
tionary steps to prevent surprise. The
troops stationed in and about the city
continue to be kept well in hand, and not
more than two soldiers are allowed to
absent themselves from any one post at a
time. At the War Department, the build
ing is surrounded by sentries night and
day, and no person is allowed to enter
except by the Seventeenth Street door. All
these precautions certainly are not taken
alone to keep Gen. Thomas out of the
War Department. The course of the
President in the case of Gen. Hancock
also causes much comment, because of the
absence of any legitimate business which
would require his presence here, where he
has been ordered to report. Whatever
may be the ulterior motives of the Presi
dent, the country may rely upon it that
the loyal element of Washington is keenly
alive to the situation, and is ready for any
crisis.
J. H. Bradley, Sr., Esq., whose name was
stricken from the rolls, last Fall, for a gross
indignity committed on the person of
Judge Fisher ot the Supreme Court of this
District, has applied for a mandamus , to
show cause why he should not be reinstated
as member of the bar.
The offense which he committed was so
gross and wanton in its character that he
can hardly hope for success without first
purging himself by a full and explicit
apology.
Notwithstanding the unusual heat of the
weather at this season of the year the sani
tary condition of the city continues to be
good, indeed, the last Winter was one of
the most healthy seasons ever known in the
capital—the mortality bill for February
only showing 163 deaths in a population of
over 106,000, twenty per-cent, less in pro
portion than in the city of Brooklyn, N. Y.,
which is considered one of the healthiest
localities.
Tlie prospect of Spring business is better
now than at any time since the close of the
war. Here, and in all of the Atlantic cities
north of us, confidence seems to have been
restored, and even Democrats indicate by
their business enterprises that they have
full confidence in the ability and disposi
tion of tlie Republican party to manage the
affairs of government for another term of
four years. This state of things is owing
in a great measure to the determination of
the Republican party to remove speedily
Andrew Johnson, who has, for three years,
by his opposition to the reconstruction
measures of Congress, kept the country in
an unsettled state; and also to the de
termination of Congress to reduce the ex
penses of the Government to the lowest
fractional amount, the effect ot which may
be seen in this city, where not less than one
thousand persons in government employ
have been discharged since tlie Ist of Jan
uary last, their services being no longer
required. In this city the real estate
agents say that business never was
so active in their line as at the present
time, not less than three thousand lots
having changed hands during the last few
weeks—majority of the sales being to par
ties who contemplate making immediate
improvements. The transfer ot real estate
outside of and near the District is equally
active, and large purchases have recently
been made in the adjoining counties of
Virginia and Maryland for actual settle
ment. The sale of property throughout
the Southern States at this point, which
has been a mart for the disposal of South
ern lands, has very much fallen off of late
for various causes, the principal one of
which is the renewal of hostilities towards
Northern men at almost every point. I
know of one instance where a man at the
head of a large company, representing a
capital of thirty thousand dollars, had
nearly completed arrangements to establish
a business in a town in North Carolina,
which would have given employment, di
rectly and indirectly, to at least one hun
dred men, who has been deterred from
doing so by the hostility manifested to
Northern men by abortion of the press of
that State; and he has now determined to
establish his business in a more congenial
latitude, where the name of “Yankee” is
not a term of reproach. This is not an
isolated case, but one of many of the same
kind.
An instance occurred a few days ago
which aptly illustrates the deep interest
felt by thccolored population in their newly
acquired rights. Through the contentions
between the Trustees of one of tlie schools
and the authorities having control of the
finances, one of the schools was announced
to be closed for want of means to pay tlie
teachers. A colored man having a child
in this school voluntarily came forward
and offered to become responaible for the
payment ot the teachers’ salaries, amount
ing to nearly five hundred dollars; conse
quently the school was continued.
In the House to-day. Mr. Paine of WisJ
consin followed up his bill for reimburse
ment for improvements made in Milwaukee
harbor, by presenting a petition and resolu
tions in favor of the same adopted by the
Legislature of Wisconsin. They were re
ferred to the Committee on Commerce, etc.
Tho Connecticut campaign is beginning
to attract considerable attention, and thorough
arrangements have been made by both
parties for a full canvass of the State. A
large delegation of the moat effective speak
ers leave Washington this week to partici
pate in the conteit, and it bids fair to be
quite m exciting u the late one in New
Hampshire.
Since my last, the following additional
sales of public lands during the month of
February hare been reported : Travers City,
Micb., 8,860 acres; LaCrosse, Wis., 6,227
acres; East Saginaw, Micb., 4,916 acres ;
Marquette, Mich., 3,860 seres; Dakota City,
Neb., 3,605 acres: Detroit, Mich., 2,218
acres ; Sioux City, lowa, 3,606 acres ; Falls
St. Croix, 2,743 acres; Topeko, Kansas,
2,145 acres. The greatest portion of this
land was taken under the Homestead law,
and the remainder sold for cash, and located
with military warrants.
Commissioner Wilson, of the General
Land Office, is in receipt of returns showing
that 455 farms, comprising 31,709 acres,
were added to the productive area of the
several Southern States named below, during
the mouth of February last, under the Home
stead Act of June 21st, 1866: Huntsville,
Ala., 153 farms; Washington, Ark., 126
farms; Jackson, Miss., 188 farms; Little
Rock, Ark., 88 larms. CAPITAL.
Remember It I—We understand that
Bullock, the carpet sack and non-resident's
candidate for Governor, will speak in this
city to day. We want every respectable
mau in Macon, be he white or black, lor or
against the ratificatun of the Atlanta Con
stitution, to recollect who and what he is,and
what effect his election will have upon the
State.— Journal & Messenger.
Oh I what miserable influences are at
work upon some of our people. Why did
you not say “right out in meeting” that you
were afraid ior the people of Macon to hear
Gov. Bullock speak 7 He is not a bugbear
—only to “ Democratic Horn-snogglers.”
He is a people’s man, and, no doubt, would
interest all who beard him. For shame 1
that with all the freedom of the Pfess you
should fear to hear any candidate vindicate
himself.
Extract- from a letter to the New
Era, dated Marietta, March 18,1868:
“So acceptable is the Constitution to the
people in this section, that the opponents of
Col. Bui.lock do not dare to make a fight
on it, but make a personal warfare on the
candidate who takes the Constitution as his
platform. PhILo-Cosstitution.”
That is so here, and we suppose in all
parts of the State with the “new-fledged”
Ben. Hill Democracy. They want offices
which very few of them could hold, if they
could get them, “by consequence” of that
Test Oath. All this personal opposition is
pap, pap, pap, and clap-trap, trap, trap ;
or, fiddle-faddle, gabble—“and so it is.”
Some carpet sack scribbler for the
Radical organ at Augusta says he “feels
shocked with indignation whenever he sees
one of the dirty flings of a dirty party press
at the character of the ‘estimable Bullock.’ ”
How does he feel when he thinks of what
Joe Brown said of his pet?— Journal &
Messenger.
Os course, “all the decency" part of the
press of Georgia belongs to the “Democratic
Horn-suogglers,” and we could not expect
from the Journal & Messenger any other sort
of a fling than the above. Gov. Brown has
endorsed Governor Bullock and the new
Constitution, and with that we are content.
Bat, by the way, you had best be careful of
your words as to “carpet-sack scribblers.”

ST. PATRICK.
According to Alban Butler, whose re
searches are probably as thorough as those
of any other religious biographer, St. Patrick
was born in the decline of tlwf fourth cen
tury, and, informs ds in •nis “Confes
sions,” in £ village called Bonaven Taberniai,
which appears to bo the present town of
Kilpatrick, near the mouth of the river
Clyde, in Scotland, between Dunbriton and
Glasgow. He calls himself both a Briton
and a RomatT, or of mixed extraction, and
siys his father was of a good family,
named Caliphurnius, and a denizen of a
neighboring city of the Romans, who not
long alter, abandoned Briton in 409.
Some writers call his mother Couchessa, and
say she was a niece of Martin of Tours.
In his sixteenth year he was carried into
captivity by certain barbarians, together
with a number of slaves and vassals taken
on his father’s estate. His captors took him
into Ireland (then a pagan country), where
he was obliged to keep cattle on the moun
tains. After six months spent in slavery, he
returned to his native country, having been,
as he says, admonished to do so in a dream.
His escape from servitude was brought about
by a few kind hearted sailors, who, hearing
his expressed desire to return to his country,
secreted him on board the vessel to which
they belonged. They landed in the northern
portion of Scotland, but wandered for twenty
seven days through deserts, and were a long
while distressed for want of provisions. Pat
rick, who had, during the voyage and travel,
taken every opportunity to impress on his
Pagan companions the truth of Christianity
and the mercy of God, was taunted with the
miseries of the situation, when he boldly
announced to them that if they would all
earnestly pray to the one true God for relief,
succor would assuredly come to them. They
did so, and Patrick avers in his confessions
that on the same day they met with a herd
of swine.
From that time provisions never failed
them. On tho 27th dny they came into a
country that was inhabited. His com
panions soon afterward became believers
in the Christian doctrine. During their
distress Patrick refused to touch meats
which had b#en offered to idols. Some years
afterward he was again led captive, but
recovered his liberty after two month*. It
was after his return home, he says, that ho
became convinced, by divers visions, that
he was destined to convert Ireland to
Christianity. lie thought he saw all the
children of that country stretching forth
their hands, and piteously crying for relief.
Acting on what he felt to be the impulsion
of Divine will, he set about preparing him
self for the priesthood, and after many
years' study of theological and secular
learning, he was duly ordained. Subse
quently he was nominated for a bishopric ;
but great opposition was made against his
episcopal consecration and avowed mission,
both by his own relatives and by the clergy.
These thought to detain him in Scotland,
and endeavored to affright him by ex
aggerating the dangers to -which ho ox
posed himself by going to a Pagan country
whose people were enomies both to tho
Britons and the Romuns. lie persevered
in his determination, however, and, accord
ing to his “confessions,” “forsook his family,
and sold his" birthright and dignity to
servo strangers.” Having been made a
bishop, ho went to Ireland A. D. 432 to
preach the gospel, whero the worship of
idols was universal. He traveled over the
whole island, and frequently visited each
province. After various ropulses and per
sooutions, and being frequently driven out
to sea by the Pagan Irish, he at length ar
rived in view of Tara at the very time when
King Leogniro was celebrating a heathen
festival, and his magi were about display
ing that sacred fire until the lighting of
which no other flame was permitted to be
kindled. St. Patrick, however, had the
oonfidenco to raise such a beacon blaze ut
Slane as was plainly distinguished from
tho heights of Tara.
The King, no less alarmed than astonished,
appealed to his magi, and earnestly inquired
by whom, aud for what purpose, it was dis
played. It was then a Druid priest is
recorded to have replied, “This fire, which
bag been kindled to night in our presence,
before the flame was lit up in your palace,
unless extinguished this very night, shall
never be extinguished more, it will triumph
over all the fires of ottr ancient rite, and he
who lights it will scatter yyur kingdom.”
The prediction was fulfilled. Even the
King nimself soon after became a Christian,
and his example was followed by most of
the members of nis court. Patrick pursued
his labors most zealously, and brought
thousauds, yearly, to acknowledge the true
God. Many desired to confer civil honors
on him ; but he made it a principle to de
cline every thing of this character. His
historians make frequent mention of his
liberality and charity, aud aver that he gave
freely of his own both to Pagans and
Christains, distributed large alms to the poor
in the provinces through which he passed,
and maintained and educated many children.
He was often persecuted by the Pagans,
but lived to see nearly the entire Irish people
converted to Christianity through his instru
mentality. During his first missionary year
he attempted to preach in the General As
sembly of the Kings, which was annually
held at Tara, in East Meath, the rest tence
of the chief king, and seat of the Druids
and their Pagan rites. The son of Neill,
the chief king, declared himself against the
preacher, but Patrick succeeded in making
many converts. He soon after converted the
Kings of Dublin and Munster, and seven
sons of the King of Connaught. He built
numerous churches and founded many mo
nasteries and schools throughout the island.
St. Patrick died at Down, in Ulster county,
when upwards of ninety years of age, and
was buried there. His remains were found
in 1185, and removed to the Cathedral
Church.
