Attest: P. M. Srkibley, Sec.,
Geo. Con. Conven.
Atlanta, Ga., March 12, 1868.
I hereby certify that the foregoing is a correct
eopy of the Constitution, ordained by the
Georgia Constitutional Convention and adop
ted, as a whole, by that body, on the Uth day
of March 1868. P. M. BHEIBLEY,
Secretary of the Convention.
A D D U ESS
Os the Chairman of the Union Repnb
lican Central Committee-
To the People of the State of Georgia:
The Convention assembled by authority of Con
gress, and in accordance with the will of the legal
voters of this State, has completed its labors, nnu
the resnlt is before you.
The Constitution herewith presented, is not, ill
an extreme sense, the Constitution of a party
Men of all shades of political sentiment united in
framing it, and It may betaken as an expression of
the average views of all. Hence the endorsement
of the entire people may be asked for it, more ap
propriately than for any other instrument, perhaps,
that has ever before been submitted for their suf
frages All we ask for it is. a candid and fair
examination by the voters of the State, and then
wc shall conficfeutly await the resnlt.
The provisions contained in the Bill of Rights
are mainly such as have commended themselves
to tile wisdom of previous Conventions, as those
best calculated to preserve and protect the precious
privileges of the people. A tew additions have
been made, which were rendered necessary by a
change of circumstances, or made appropriate as
an expression of tiiat loyalty of sentiment toward
the Natioual Government, which has sprung up
in the hearts of onr people, since the close ol the
late war. It may be taken as an omen of happy
augury, that the expressions referred to were
most warmly supported in the Convention by gen
tlemen who had themselves participated in the
recent effort to sever the relations of the State
with tlie General Government, and who rightfully
deemed that snch expressions would tend to re
store, throughout the State aud country, confidence
in our patriotism, and in the sincerity aud integ
r:tv of onr motives.
The provisions contained in the Executive
and Legislative Departments, are the result of
an unwearied and zealous effort on the part of
those who had those Departments in charge
to lay the foundation; and on the part of the
Convention at large, to perfect the same
Whatever changes have been made from the old
Constitution of Georgia in these two articles,
were made by the utmost unanimous consent
of the members of the Convention, including
even the few in that body who were opposed to
any Reconstruction at all.
The Article on the Judiciary Department has
undergone the inspection of the best legal m inds
of the State, and has received their unqualified
approval. Those who have heretofore con
sidered it a duty to be hostile to our work, have
been struck by the beauty and competence of
our judicial system; and the friends of the
Constitution confidently present said system to
the voters of the State, as a proof of the wisdom
and care which characterized the proceedings
of the Convention, and of the fidelity and
honesty with which the members of that body
labored to promote the best interests of the
people.
The subjects or Relief and Homestead Ex
emption, engaged a large share of the time and
attention ot the delegates. The views of
almost every individual member were brought
before the Convention and carefully considered.
The wishes and wants of their constituents
were freely consulted by the body; and it may
almost literally be said that the entire people
of Georgia assisted in framing these articles.
Os their beneficent effects in the future, there
can be no doubt. While releasing the people
from a burden that had become too heavy to be
borne or 6liaken off, they will secure to honest
industry the fruits of toil, and by renewing
and promoting the material prosperity of the
whole community, will eventually benefit even
those individuals who seem for the moment
injuriously affected.
Upon tbe subject of Education, there was
great unanimity in the Convention, and the
Article upon the subject in the new Constitu
tion was finally adopted without a dissenting
voice. Under its provisions, the State can
begin the great work of educating her children,
ana then improve and complete her system of
Public Instruction, as rapid'y ns the wealth of
the people will permit, or as their requirements
demand.
Suffrage is limited only by the usual Consti
tutional requirements. The Convention, in
obedience to what seemed the wish of the peo
ple, stepped, in this respect, to the extreme
verge of liberality. Not a man in the Btate is
disfranchised tor participation in the recent
war. In extending the suffrage to those'classcs
hitherto deprived of it, the Convention com
plied strictly with the conditions laid down by
the National Government; but it was not
actnated by desire to comply with those con
ditions alone It believed that under our
changed circumstances, such extension of the
suffrage was light and proper in itself; and it
willingly and cheerfully recognized the cardi
nal principle of Kcjpublics, that no freeman
should be deprived of participation in the
Government, except for crime.
Such, fellow-citizens, is the Constitution
presented for your suffrage. We ask for it a
calm and candid perusal. Even its enemies arc
at a lossi to find iu It aught to condemn. We
believe the Impartial people of the State will

THE CAMPAIGN.
No one can overestimate the importance
attached to the political campaign upon
which wc are entering. 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 Tiie National Republican
effective in the great work before us, we
propose the following liberal

“NATIVE GEORGIANS:'
Objection is made, by some of the
Democratic organs, to our candidate lor
Governor, because lie is not a “ native
Georgian,” and vve have them continually
reiterating, in speaking of some one of
their favorites, tiiat such an one is a
“ native Georgian.” Notv, we tWnk it is
praiseworthy to prefer our neighbors to
those people who are remote. A patriotism
which embraces a whole country, or a
benevolence which extends to the whole
world should commence at a man’s own
fireside, but a narrow prejudice which
despises a neighbor because he was not
born our neighbor, is worthy only of the
barbarian Chinese or Japanese, and to
assert that any American citizen shall be
debarred from seeking political honors
merely because he happens to be bora in
another part of the territory of the United
Btates, is the most odious of proscription.
Bucli disfranchisement is unheard of in
any civilized country of the world, bnt it
is here nothing else than Know Notkingism
intensified, and is no more than was to
have been expected from the Know
Nothing leaders who now rule the Demo
cratic party. The same persecuting spirit
which sought to shut out Irishmen, Ger
mans, Frenchmen, or other foreign-bom
citizens from the rights of citizenship, now
seeks to do the same by American citizens
because born out of the limits of the State.
We shall never become a great, prosperous
and homogenous people till this narrow
bigotry is forgotten, and in spirit, as w r ell
as by constitutional declaration, we main
tain that “the citizens of each State shall
be entitled to all the privileges and
immunities of citizens of the several
States.” At present, we have not pro
gressed so far sis to allow that an American
citizen, born in another State, though for
years a citizen of Georgia, is entitled to
the privileges of a citizen of the State.
This illiberal prejudice did not always
exist in Georgia. The forefathers of the
present race of Georgians lind rather
broader ideas—and, by the way, it is
curious to obnerve that many of those,
who nt the present day arc most forward
in showing their contempt of “Yankees,”
are those who arc cither Yankees them
selves, or who can not trace tlieir pedigree
very far buck without stumbling upon an
unmitigated “Yankee.” Tho people who
used to legislate for us in the better days
of tlie State had no such horror of those
who were not “native Georgians” as their
descendants profess to feel. A glance
ove* the list ul’ the names of the counties
of the State will show that about five
i sixths of them were named for men who
were not native Georgians, and a good
many of them for Yankees. Os those who
huve been Governors of tho Htate, two
thirds or more had the misfortune to be
bom outside the limits of Georgia, ant l wc
hare now standing in front of our City
Hall an imposing and expensive monu
ment erected to the memory of men who bed
done good service to the State, neither of
whom was a “native Georgian,” and on#
of them a Connecticut “Yankee.”
The truo policy for a State to make
itself great and respected is to enlist in
its service talent wherever it can be found.
The policy which would abut out from its
borders ail who arc not “hone of its bone
and flesh of its flesh,” can only result in
retrogression nnd imbecility. Nations and
States need new blood, just os families of
men and breeds of animals need crossing.
One of the lamentable effects of slavery
was that it excluded not only immigration!
but new ideas and modes of thought, and
the consequence was that the Georgian or
the Carolinian, seeing himself the biggest
thing in his own narrow sphere, thought
himself the most imposing object in crea
tion, upon which the eyes of all the world
were fixed. Accordingly he undertook
the destruction of the Union under the
idea that the whole world would help
him, not only out of admiration for him,
but because the world could not do with
out him. The lamentable error was dis
covered too late, but still the notions en
gendered by his old exclusion from the
rest of mankind survive in a somewhat
mitigated form, and he still thinks that to
be born on Georgia soil is something to be
very complacent about. The feeling is
commendable when it docs not go to the
extent of haughtily proscribing everybody
who chanced to be born somewhere else;
but going to that extent, it tends not only
to retard progress but render its possessor
somewhat ridiculous. Especially is that
proscription absurd when exercised
against men of the same nation, language,
lineage, and religion—living under the
same Government, and ruled by the same
laws.
We hope the day is not far distant
when we shall no more have it urged that
because a candidate is not a “native Geor
gian” therefore he is unfit for office ! “A
man's a man for a’ that.”
CAPTAIN C. 11. PRINCE,
The candidate for Congress in the Fifth
Congressional District, is a native of the
State of Maine, was engaged in mercantile
persuits until the breaking out of the late
war, when he volunteered, raised a com
pany, and entered the service of the Gov
ernment as Captain. After the close of
hostilities, he was placed in charge of the
Augusta branch of the National Savings
Bank, under the auspices of Jay, Cook &
Cos., the great Government Bankers, of
Washington, Philadelphia nnd New York.
In this position lie has won the esteem of
his fellow citizens by his quiet, unobtrusive
and gentlemanly deportment, and by hia
careful and correct attention to the duties of
his position has won the regard and confi
dence of that large class of the people who
have business with the Bank. His political
career, we believe, has been confined to a
membership of the Constitutional Conven
tion, in which capacity he displayed much
intelligence and familiarity with parliamen
tary proceedings. His political sentiments
arc in full accord with the ruling majority
in Congress, and are acceptable to a large
majority of the voters in the District.
Personally, he is a gentleman of good
address, and eDjoys the confidence of Ex-
Vice President Hamlin, Pitt Fessenden,
and others of the leading public men of
the country. He will be elected by a large
majority.
SOUND THE HORN!—BEAT THE
DRUM!
And find anew recruit. The great
Reconstruction Constitutional party have
already defeated one candidate of the
Macon clique of office-grabbers, and will
continue to finish off the balance in the
same manner. If Irwin has the temerity .
to let his name stand, his fate is sealed.
Hear them squeal:
Important from Atlanta —Special Dis
patch to the Chronicle iQ Sentinel. —
Atlanta, March 21, p. m.—Judge Cabiness
has issued a call foi the Democratic
Executive Committee to meet in Macon on
Thursday next. It is understood that
General Meade will not issue a certificate
to Reese, if elected. Also, that this
virtually throws Reese out of the field*.
Irwin is now the only opponent of Bullock.
Occasional.
But, Democratic like, they can’t stick to
the truth, and must lay their cowardice
and failure on the shoulders of General
Meade. Everybody knows that Meade
does not, and will not, interfere with can
didates or politics in any manner.
A FANCY FICTION AND A FACT.
Tile last Journal & Messenger starts an
invention “ that Bullock will withdraw in
favor of Brown.” We beg our soreheaded
friend not to ilnttcr his wounded feelings
by any expectations of the Reconstruction
Party following the dirty lead of the
Macon clique. Bullock never withdraics.
He was regularly nominated by a full
Convention, and will be regularly elected
by the largest majority ever cast in our
good old commonwealth.
Heavy.— " Old Conservative” furnishes
two columns of heavy reading in a fruitless
effort to prove that Colonel Bullock is not
the practical, sensible business man that
every one knows him to be- If the writer of
that article is the same who drew up a cer
tain "petition,” and made the “argument,'
wo would recommend him to remain satisfied
with that failure. Our common sense man
was too much for the shyster lawyer then,
and he will bo again.
Query.— When does a “ Yankee” cense
to be a “carpet-bagger ” and become a
Southern gentleman ? When he becomes a
Democrat— vide the nominations of Dele
gates by the Macou pawn-brokers—H. S.
Fitcii from New England, 1866.
By tho “Shyster’s” Ethnology, u freshly
imported “Yankee,” ora coal black “Ameri
can citizen,” are equally as high-toned,
honorable and acceptable as a Democrat;
provided they vote tho oftioc-seekor's ticket
Vide the Macon paper#’ appeal to the
“Respectable, intelligent negroes ” to vote

HONESI OPPOSITION.
It is with no small degree of pleasure
that we notice here and there, among the
papers of the demoralited Democrats, a
political article that is not too filthy to lie
read in a respectable family circle.
Wo take the following from the Griflin
Star, and commend its tone and temper
to the consideration of the “rancid writer"
of the “old conservative” up the street:
THE UOYEKKOHSHIP.
It may n«.t be amiss to offer a few reflec
tions under this head. Commencing, then,
with the Radical nominee, we preface by
saying that personal denunciation is seldom
wise or beneficial to those using it. We
shall not, therefore, call Mr. Bullock a rogue
or thief—not even a carpet bagger. On the
contrary, previous to the time he fell into
the hands of the “British” and tories, he
was eminently, respectable—occupying the
position of Chief of the Georgia branch of
the greatest private corporation in America,
if not in the world, for a long series of
years ; he won an enviable reputation as a
sterling business man. Indeed, so high
was his financial ability estimated, that he
was called to the Presidency of one of
Georgia’s leading railroads, and that, too,
by Southern stockholders ; so that to call
him a reckless and unprincipled adventurer,
is to show a disregard of truth, which, aside
from its questionable morality, we do
not think would be of any advantage to the
party which oppose his election. There is
n plenty that can be said against him, in his
present position, withoutresortingtotheshifts,
quibbles, and prevarication., of the slan
derer, or the slang of the dirt dauber. In
an evil hour, Mr. Bullock has seen proper
to launch out into the field of politics—
worse than this, to espouse Radicalism.
*****
For this, we condemn Bullock, and call
in question his political judgment. He is
evidently a mere tyro in politics, though
otherwise a man of ability, and not by any
means the fool he is accused of being, by
tome of his opponents. In the hands of the
Blodgett clan he may do us incalculable
harm. Individually, we don’t believe he
intends it. As an advocate of unqualified
negro suffrage, we are dead down against
him—as a tool of the leprous gang who are
using him, we abhor him ; but as an indi
vidual* we do not intend to compromise our
character for truth and fairness, by calling
him a brigand. We understand the crafti
ness and tact of the “ring” who compassed
the entire limits of the mongrel party, to find
condensed in one man a sufficiency of re
spectability to make a candidate for Gov
ernor ; and this is the grand secret of Bul
lock’s nomination.
We can say for the benefit of our Griffin
friends, that the whole history and course of
Colonel Bullock’s public and private fife,
give us the best of evidence that no man
set of men, “ring,” “clique,” or “clan” can
use or control him. He is peculiarly and
essentially “his own governor.”
OUR CANDIDATE.
In the editorial columns of the Utica
Morning Herald, a widely-circulated and
influential daily in the central portion of
the great State of New York, we find the
following notice of Col. Bullock, and of
the ill-natured and ill-considered attacks
which have been made upon him by “sour
grape” writers:
Governor Bullock. —The Augusta
Chronicle assails, with affluence of vitupera
tion, the ( Republican candidate for Governor
of Georgia, Rufus B. Bullock. It is
unfortunate for the unreconstructed journals
that Mr. Bullock, although for a dozen
years a resident of Georgia, is well known
in New York. The denunciations which
are poured upon him, illustrate to fa,ir men
of all parties here the spirit and temper of
their authors.
Mr. Bullock is one of those energetic,
enterprising, intelligent business men, who
are among the best products of our institu
tions- Perhaps his great offense to Southern
chivalry is, that he has worked with his
own hands—that he has, by industry and
ability, carved out his own career, and that
instead of lolling in idleness and wearying
the air with grumbling, he is now striving
to extend the enterprise, to elevate the
labor, and to render broad and permanent
the prosperity of Georgia. In Northern
communities such men are honored. Very
often they are chosen to the very highest
positions, and the qualities which have won
individual success, are found of especial
value in legislation and administration.
Mr. Bullock has won fortune and position
by his labors in telegraphs, expresses aud
railroads. He is a man of the type of
Erustus Corning, Dean Richmond, Ezra
Cornell, John A. Griswold, and a score of
others such as New York has honored so
often and so cheerfully. It grates harshly
on Southern prejudices to see such a man
put forward for Governor of Georgia. Those
prejudices must he conquered. The man
who works with his hands is the peer of the
best, and must be so recognized. The old
chivalry of idleness must give way before the
advance of free labor. The Augusta Chroni
cle makes faces at the march of progress, at
the development of the inevitable. Free
institutions must prevail in Georgia, and men
in sympathy with them must control legisla
tion, and must administer the State Gov
ernment. “Giant Despair” may sit at the
door and mumble with grim and surlSy
voice, and look ugly, but the pilgrims having
escaped, go safely forward.
We learn that Col. Bullock spent several
years of his early manhood at Utica— mak
ing that city his headquarters while in
charge of the House printing telegraph
lines between Buffalo and New York city—
and, as will he seen above, won the esteem
and respect of all who knew him.

BUSINESS MEN
Editor Republican :
Dear Sih—l see in the Chronicled; Senti.
nel of Sunday last, a leader headed "The
Negro Candidate for Governor,” commenting
upon an extract from the Lagrange Reporter.
New, Mr. Editor, as an old Democrat, 1 am
somewhat disposed to think that such
exhibitions of abuse from “all the decency”
i3 rather out of place. The truth will out
as murder will, and in the same paragraph
tho aforementioned critical gentleman (?)
says, “that Col. B. is a shrewd business man
and a great financier.” That is just what I
think, and therefore, as a Democrat, I shall
take pleasuro in aiding to put one such man
in the Gubernatorial office of Georgia.
For just now I think that such a man should
be placed ih that office. These dirtflingers
are using their best energies now, but as we
happeu to know some of them are to bo
used until after the election, and over-board
they go, head and ears. "Uneasy rests the
head that wears” a Shyster’s Crown 1
It would be well for the slang whangers to
look out for squalls. When an editor or
editors disgust their party, it is no foregone
conclusion to arrive at, that their party will
use them as long as decency will permit,
and then off goes their heads. We will see
before a great while, that the Democratic
party, while it may tolerate its tools, and
make horrible grimaces nt the physic daily
portioned out to them in this campaign, will
not always submit to such a delamation of
justice and troth. A Democrat.)^

General Orders, No. 44.
Whereas, The laws of Alabama provide
that the Sheriff of a county shall be entitled
to receive silty cents per day, for victualling
a white prisoner in jail, ana forty cents for
victualling colored prisoners in jail, and as
like discriminations may exist in the other
States in this District: it is hereby ordered:
!• That from this date in the several
States composing this Militaiy District, the
Sheriff, Jailor, or other person entitled by
law to receive fee a for victualling or dieting
prisoners in jail, shall receive the same fees
or compensation for victualling or dieting a
Colored prisoner in jail as is allowed by or
under the authority of law for victualling
or dieting a white prisoner in the same jail,
and to be paid for in like manner.
ll. —That in all the jails, penitentiaries,
and other prisons in this district, colored
prisoners shall be entitled to receive food,
tho same in quality and quantity, as may
be furnished to the white prisoners, and
that no discrimination as to treatment shall
be made in any respect among the prisoners
on account of eojor or race. This order
shall not be construed as requiring that
white and colored prisoners shall be placed
in the same cells, but only that the same

by Maj. R. H. Whiteley, candidate for Con

will deliver a speech in Bainbridge, next
Saturday, on the new Constitution, and the
relief ordinance.— Bainbridge Argus, March
21 st-
We hope all the Democrat Horn-soogglers
in your city will go to hear him—for Col.
'Whiteley is not afraid to avow his senti
ments. We know he can put things through
just about right, and if any of the Obstruc
tionists feel like coming up to the scratch to
reply, we are sure they will be welcomed,
and will not be, as you advise in your Duty
article, “ refused a discussion,” with even a
Democratic Horn-snoggler, for fear of the
peace of the community being disturbed.
The people of our State wish to be en
lightened upon their situation and the at
tempts made by the Democrats, so-called, to
continue to befog them.
Good News. —We have been permitted to
make the following extract from a letter,
dated Columbus, Ga., March 19th :
“I arrived home safe, found all well, and
am much gratified at the general demonstra
tions in favor of our noble constitutional
standard bearer, Col. Bullock.
“I had to pass through the entire Third
District on my way home, and at all points
where the car stopped long enough, I went
out to learn the feeling of the people as to
our nominee for Governor, and let me assure
you I never was better pleased. I found tho
nomination perlectly acceptable to the
people, and they will roll up a vote for the
Constitution, and the man who helped to
make it, that wiil astonish our enemies.
“It is well understood here that Reese and
Irwin are both opposed to the Congressional
plan of Reconstruction, and you may rest
assured that neither of them will get votes
in this section, except from the office
seeking, sore-headed Democracy.”
An Extensive Emigration Proposed.—
The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle waxes desper
ate in its oppoeition to tho Constitution
shortly to be presented to the people for
ratification or rejection. “The Constitution
must be defeated,” it declares, “or the white
people of the State must prepare for imme
diate emigration.” As the white people of
Georgia number somewhat over five hundred
thousand, the alternative presented by the
Chronicle, to the acceptance of the Constitu
tion, involves a rather formidable movement.
If, however, so much of that journal’s con
ditional programme could be carried out as
would induce all such unqualified rebels as
it represents to leave the country forever, we
should regard that as an important additional
reason why the Constitution ought to be
carried. In any case, we beg them not to
stand on the order of.their going. They can
be conveniently spared.— Utica (N. Y.)
