The respective hosts have chosen their leaders and raised their standard. The issue is made up. The National Republican will he 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 FOR THE CAMPAIGN: DAILY, .ingle copy, 3 month* SI.OO " 10 copies, “ “ S.OO _ The Republican contains more reading matter than any other daily journal in the State, including the latest news by mails and telegraph. 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.

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.” Nus ced. 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.
