THE CAMPAIGN.
No one can overestimate the importance
attached to the political campaign upon
which we are entering. The respective
hosts have chosen their leaders and raised
their standard. The issue is made up.
Tiie National Republican will be
l'onnd 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
BATES FOB THE CAMPAIGN:
DAILY, single copy, 3 months SI.OO
“ 10 copies, “ “ 8.00
Tiie Republican contains more reading
matter than any other daily journal in the
State, including the latest news by mails
and telegraph.
TIIE RELIEF 'MEASURE.
The understrappers of the Democracy)
pettifogging little lawyers, and insignifi
cant County Court Judges, who wish the
Constitution defeated because it puts an
end to their tyrannical jurisdiction, arc
going about the country villages proclaim
ing that the Reliet measures of the new
Constitution can not stand the test of the
Supreme Court. The opinions of such
people are not worth much at any time,
and are never of any account when tlieir
interest is involved. In spite of tlieir
clamor, it will be found that the clauses of
the Constitution to which they object will
stand any test to which they will be sub
mitted.
These people, probably, have not sense
enough to understand the measures ot
which they complain; or. if they under
stand them, wilfully misrepresent. If they
comprehend the subject at all, they know
that the people of a State, in forming their
Constitution by which their Courts are
created, have a right to limit the jurisdic
tion of those Courts, and even to deny
them jurisdiction of a certain class of
cases. This has been done by every Con.
stitution that has ever existed in Georgia,
or in any other State. To the Supreme
Court has always been denied any other
than an appellate jurisdiction; to the
Superior and County Courts, have been re
iused jurisdiction in certain civil cases ; to
the Justices’ Courts, in cases above a cer
tain amount. Now the Kelief measures
do hut little more than has been done in
regard to these Courts. They deny to all
Courts jurisdiction in a certain class of
cases—debts contracted previous to the
Ist of June, 1865—and it is left to the
Legislature to restore jurisdiction when
ever the circumstances of the people will
justify it.
Supposing that these wiseacres tell the
truth, their position amounts to this:
Reject the Constitution, and all these
debts resume their full force, and are
collectable immediately ; ratify it, and
two or three years,''at least, are given to
effect compromises, and for the people to
work out of debt. The Supreme Court is
very careful of meddling with relief and
stay laws, and it generally takes about
that time to bring it to u decision ou those
questions. But there need not be any
anticipations of an adverse decision. We
are going to have a Governor, Legislature,
and Judges, sworn to support the new
Constitution—men whose oaths mean
something—and a part of that Constitu
tion is the Relief clause.
JKiy-The following are (he rallying cries of
the North Carolina. Radicals in the present
canvass, as we find them in (lie Standard,
Radical organ :
“When you meet rebels in discussion hit
them hard. They do not spare you. Bur
nish your weapons ; sharpen them, and fling
a mighty vigor into your right arm when you
deal a blow. Do not mince your arguments,
or allow a sickly sentimentality to polish your
Anglo-Saxon. “Fight the devil with fire,”
and make it as hot ns summer lightning,
ihe loyal people expect you to lay it on and
spare nobody.”
TO TIIE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.
The address of Col. R. B. Bullock, the
Constitutional Candidate for Governor will
be found in this issue of our paper. Read
it citizens of Georgia, and see how tersely
written each paragraph is, liow manly its
sentiments, and how clearly defined is his
position. There is no verbiage, no multi
plication of words, no attempt to evade tho
truth by the subterfuges so often resorted to.
Wo say again, read and ponder it—read it
every day until you will know it by heart:
Ha ving been unanimously nominated for
the office of Governor, by a Convention fully
representing a large majority of the voters
of the State, I do not feel at liberty to disre
gard their wishes by refusing to accept the
great honor thus conferred.
My only desire is to be of service to the
whole people of our groat State, with whom
my lot has been so long and so pleasantly
in building up her waste places and in
reviving her prostrated, industrial and com*
mercial system, under the benign influence
of a civil government, in which all her citi
zens may participate. To the consummation
of this object my every effort shall be
devoted.
The Constitution adopted by the late Con
vention is before you. It was my privilege
to aid in the formation of that instrument,
and thus to become familiar wish not only
the letter of this fundamental law, but also
with (he spirit and tho intentions of those
who framed|it. My votes ar« recorded upon
all its various branches, and it is therefore
unnecessary for me to enter into any state
meat of my political principles, other than
to say that I stand fully committed to the
new Constitution, and have an earnest
desire to vitalize those great measures —the
“Relief ” and the “Homestead”—and thus
euable our ruined people to take courage for
the future, with a full assurance that the
results of tlieir labor shall be enjoyed by
themselves and their families. ,
It will be the duty of the Gei.eral Assem
bly to provide a thorough system of educa
tion for the State.
If called by your votes to assume the
exalted position of your Chief Executive, it
will be my duty, and no less a pleasure, to
nominate to the Senate, for confirmation,
persons whose past services, well established
character and ability, have secured for them
selves the confidence of their fellow citizens
iti their respective districts, and whose fit
ness, by reason of their known intelligence
and moral worth, for the positions to which
they may be recommended, will ensure their
confirmation by the representatives of the
people.
“With malice toward none, with charity
for all,” looking only to the glory, peace, and
prosperity of cur noble State, and the perpe
tuity of free, civil government throughout
the land, I have the honor to be your fellow
citizen, R. B. Bullock.
TIIE DEMOCRATIC BARGAIN AND
SALE.
In tlic opposition exchanges which
reached us last evening, we find a long
letter from Judge Reese to tlic Macon
clique, dated Madison, March 23d, de
clining to be a candidate. Judge Reese
goes far beyond the customary hounds of
such a correspondence, in order to present
a pettifogger’s plea (which is neither cred
itable to bis reputation as a lawyer or as a
citizen), in favor of his confrere, Judge
Irwin.
The gist of his argument is in the fol
lowing extract: “The vital issue before the
people is a good Governor or a bad Gover
nor—-a Georgian thoroughly identified with
her interests, honor, and glory, or an ad
venturer, with plunderers at hill heels”
And tliis we characterize as unworthy of
Judge Reese. Wo are not willing to be
lieve that Judge Reese is the responsible
author of the paper; it sounds too much
like the vaporings of the strikers and
understrappers at Macon.
Wc know and can prove that Reese
fully accepted the clique nomination on
the 17th instant, and that on Saturday,
the 21st, Messrs. Reese and hi win met
at the National Hotel in Atlanta, accom
panied by their respective keepers, and
then and there these political bargainers
made out a “slate,” by which it was
agreed that, as Irwin had been a quasi
Union man, and might, under a variety of
false pretenses, mislead a few of the Union
votes, they would be more likely to win
; thc spoils of office by running Irwin.
Therefore, it was agreed that Reese
should come down in favor of Irwin, and
the “clique” promised to compel their
voters throughout the State to stand by
the trade. Hence this letter of the 23d>
signed by Reuse.
We will watch with interest to see
whether intelligent citizens will allow
their franchise to be bought and sold at
the beck and call of a clique of political
hacks, who have nothing to lose and
everything to gain.
MEETING IN PUI.ASKL
Pursuant to a previous call, a large and
enthusiastic meeting of the citizens of Pu
laski county met at the Court House, in
Ilawkinsville, on Saturday, March 21st, for
the purpose of nominating a Reconstruction
ticket. On motion of Judge R. G. Ful
chcnn, Dr. S. F. Halter was called to the
Chair, and W. H. P. Axton requested to
act as Secretary. Dr. Salter, on taking Hie
Chair, in a few very appropriate remarks,
explained the object of the meeting, and
counselled unanimity in the ranks of the
party. On motion of Judge Paxton, a ticket
was presented, and nominated almost unani
mously, by acclamation :
For Senator 14th District—Hon. J. W.
Trawick.
Representatives—Dr. S. F. Salter, Dr.
J. M. Buchan.
With a full ticket, for county officers,
which, being purely local, we will omit.
On motion of I)r. J. M. Buchan, Hon. W,
11. Paxton was recommended for District
Judge, 14th District.
On motion of Dr. Salter, the following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The success ol our cause can
only be secured by the united efforts of our
party; therefore be it
Resolved, That wo will cordially support
the lion. It. B. Bullock for Governor of
Georgia, and will cordially co-operato with
the friends of Reconstruction to secure the
election of our ticket.
lie it further resolved. That we pledge our
support to tin: Hon. It. 11. Whitcley to repre
sent the 2d Congressional District in ilia
National Congress.
The meeting then adjourned.
S. F. Salter, President.
W. 11. Paxton, Secretary.
Jerry Black states very freely that he has
no hope of acquittal of the President, and
that he lias so informed him. Whether Mr.
Johnson will resign, or see the matter
through, is not yet determined, but if ho
takes the advice of nearly all his counsellors,
he will resign as soon ns the Senate orders
that the trial shall proceed without further
delay.
CORRESPONDENCE.
We extract and condense from our ex
tensive correspondence tho following: \
Forsyth, Ga., March 23.
“ The white citizens of this section of
the State arc united upon Bullock and
Relief, and will roll up a large vote. The
colored men are on the qui-vive, and all
will be ready on the days of election to
enst their ballots for Bullock and the
Constitution. The whole Bar and Bench
are agniust us, becauso their craft is in
danger. Wc shall run none but Bullock
men in this section of the country, and will
allow no compromises or trades with the
Reese-Irwin Democracy.''
Roms, Ga., March 23.
“ We expect to have a large meeting
here, on Saturday next, of the colored
people of this Congressional District. They
nre all solid for Bullock and the Constitu
tutioo. The Irwin men are making
stringent efforts to divide them by promises
of office and claims of spocial unionism for
the candidate, but it is of no avail. The
Union men of this soction are all right and
safe.”
Kingston, Ga., March 24.
“We have just closed a very enthusiastic
district meeting, by the nomination of Col.
Atkins lor Congress in this District, with
resolutions endorsing Col. Bullock, and the
new Constitution. We are all right and
wide awake. ‘The whole power and patron
age of the State Road is being used under
cover, lor Irwin.’
“These quasi Union Reconstruction offi
cers now on the Road, exhibited their venom
by excluding Governor Brown and others of
our friends from the depot. Ben. Hill’s
Atlanta speech is doing us a great deal of
good. We are circulating it among our
people as a Union Campaign document.”
Dalton, Ga., March 22,
“We are organizing cap-a-pie in this
section, and I am proud to say, that our
ranks are firm and unshaken, and I feel
confident, in the present attitude ol affairs,
that Col. Bullock will not lose a vote from
the Union ranks. Irwin is tied to the
Democracy, neck and heels, and the State
Road management is helping him along.
“We will have a big crowd out to hear
Governor Brown on Saturday. Threats and
intimidations will bo used to drive the colored
man from his true purpose. Gen. Meade
cannot be too urgent or well understood
upon this point, and I trust that the orders
will be so stringent that the mad, crazy,
obstructionists will bo restrained from their
hellish purposes of proscribing and denying
our friends the opportunity to vote. They
are making thoir beasts freely that they will
control the election by force.”
Washington, Ga., March 23.
“We had a very enthusiastic meeting here,
on Saturday last, of the Republican club of
this county. A letter from 11. P. Farww,
endorsing Col. Bullock’s nomination, was
read, with speeches. We are sure of Bul
lock by a large majority in the coming
election. Lincoln county will be right,
although the bush-whackers and disloyalists
are threatening loyal whites in that county,
and electioneering will be attended with
great personal risks. We intend, however,
to fight the good fight on our own ground
for Bullock and the Constitution.’’
Camfbellton, Ga., March 24.
“In this region we are all wide awake, and
going for the regular nomination on the
Constitution. Shall roll up a large vote for
Bullock. We cannot be misled by the new
converts who now claim to be in favor of
the Constitution, and are willing to sacrifice
themselves on the altar of office.”
Cuthbkrt, Ga., March 24.
“ r l hero arc some strangers travelling
down through this country, trying to make
the people believe that a man named
Irwin is a Union man, and in favor of the
Constitution ; but no one here bolioves
them. We all intend to vote for the Con
stitution and for Col. Bullock, for we
know that he was not afraid to go to the
Convention and help frame the Constitu
tion ; and, more than that, we believe that
he will carry out the Constitution in all its
great features of Relief, Homesteads and
Schools, honestly and fairly, without any
lawyers’ quibbling or dodging. We will
be on hand for the election.”
Lagrange, Ga., March 24.
“The call for the grand mass meeting at
Columbus was postponed until Saturday
next, when I will return there. Everything
is all right. The Union men, Relief men,
and men in favor of a settlement, will all go
for Bullock. We will bring up all right In
Western Georgia. No one in this whole
region will touch Irwin but the unrecou
structed. They are bitter because they can
not defeat our Constitution. The people all
know that Irwin is an anti-Relief man. and
that the Constitution would be ruined in its
most important features if he is elected.”
Dahlonega, March 22.
“I write from this point that you may
know how things are going on in the coun«
ties. All the Union men are for Bullock
and the Constitution, and for Wimpey
for Congress. They will carry all the
mountain counties—Pickens, Gilmore,
Fannin, Union, Towns, Ilabun, White,
Lumpkin, Dawson, Forsyth, and Hall, aud
I believe will carry Gwinnett, but of that
I am not certain. They will carry the
other named counties by an overwhelming
majority. The Superior Court met at
Gainesville last week. All the Union men
are in favor of Bullock and Wimpey, but
there was a strong influence against a rati
fication of the Constitution from the lawyers,
who arc opposed to Reconstruction, Relief,
and Homestead, and, in fact, to most every
thing but office. On Monday and Tuesday
nights, the Democrats held caucuses, and
agreed to run J. 11. Christy, of Athens, as
a candidate for Congress, and agreed to run
him on the cry of ‘negro,’ ‘negro,’ ‘negro,’
bicgro supremacy,’ ‘negro equality,’ and,
in fact, holloa ‘negro’ for votes on all occa
sions. Christy is the editor of the Watch
man, at Atheus, and is bitterly opposed to
the Constitution and Convention, and every
thing else but the offices.”
Cedar Town, March 23.
“You may put down Polk and Haralson
counties sure for Ratification and Bullock
by a handsome majority. We will carry
Paulding also. 1 hear good reports from
other counties. Have not heard ol a single
man in our county going for Irwin.
“If the ‘iron ribbed’ Democracy cannot
have Reese, they won’t take any body.”

Tbe New York Herald is supremely dis
gusted with the Democratic party for cling
ing to copperheadism, and not making com
mon cause with Andrew Johnson in this
hour of need. It declares that the triumph
of the Republican party in the next Presi
dential election is absolutely certain.
Among the reasons given for this rational
conviction is the result in New Hampshire.
On this point it says: “Against all draw
backs, the Republicans of New Hampshire
held their ground. They triumphed in the
lute election over all these obstructions in
rallying under tho flag of General Grant as
their candidate for the next Presidency.
This was, in fact, the initial fight for testing
tho popularity of General Grant as a Presi
dential candidate, nnd the result shows ho
cannot be beaten.”
[From th( Atlanta New Era.
SPEECH OF HON. B. 11. HILL.
The Opposition Platform.
Wc showed tho other day, very clearly,
how Mr. Hill’s aristocratic notions cropped
out through his entire speech; how he
would harness the poor man down to his
work, withholding all opportunity to rise
higher ; how he would deprive the children
of the laboring classes of men of the
benefits and blessings of a common school
system ; liow he would deprive tho wives
and children of working men of the
righteous provisions made through the
Homestead Bill passed liy the Convention,
and now wo coino to another feature in his
singular composition, which by no means
shows the “statesman and orator” up in an
enviable light. We quote from his speech
one more paragraph :
“Next to the ministers, I appeal to you,
my lady friends. General Franklin said
bad things about General Pope, but Gen.
Pope certainly told the truth when he said
the ladies were a unit against reconstruc
tion. I would scorn the husband of my
bosom as unworthy of me, if I should or
could hear him whisper to his prattling
boy that he was no better than a nigger. I
tell you, you must bring your powers to
bear on this motto. The movement is, to
degrade you and your children—to bring
you into collision with the nigger—to
depreciate your property—to destroy your
interests—your government, your liberty,
and you must wake up. Use your social
powers, but not in a spirit of vindictiveness.”
This sounds well, no doubt, in the ears of
those who are predetermined to approve
everything done by those who favor Recon
struction. To us, however, and to the
intelligent public, who are willing to see
things in their proper significance, it is social
ostracism in all its bold, glaring, hideous
intolerant deformity; and it is this pernicious
principle, avowed by men of Mr. Hill’s
standing, that is stimulating and increasing
the animosity between the people of different
sections and men of different parties.
Gen. Gordon, as brave an officer as ever
won glory to the “Stars and Bars,” may sup
and be friendly with a United States officer,
and Gen. Longstreet, the “War Horse” of
Lee’s army, may be hospitably entertained
at the house of a gallant officer who fought
on the Union side in the late war; but the
Hon. Benjamin H. Hill, the man who never
smelt gunpowder during the war—the man
who would not have smelt it had the war
lasted half a century—the man who left his
home in LaGrange for his friends to defend
against Wilson’s raiders, bringing with him
his plate and other valuables, Hon. Ben.
11, Hill, ex-Confederate States Senator, can
not, will not treat with ordinary courtesy men
who hail from the North—men who fought in
the Union army, and men who now want to
rescue what little peace and prosperity there is
still whirling around in the great malestrom
which is ruining and harrassing the South ;
but he says to the people, to ministers of the
gospel, and to ladies, close the door of your
hospitality upon all who do not think as you
do; build your social walls so high and
close that these thieves and robbers may be
kept out; close your hearts against them all
alike ; if you have a husband, or a brother,
or a father, who thinks or acts on the other
side, tear him from your love and make your
homes too hot to hold him ; scorn all who
favor reconstruction ; make your society an
exclusive one, and let into your esteem none
who can see right and patriotism in the re
construction movement now progressing in
the State. Respectable ladies will give no
heed to such infamous mouthings. Business
men dare not, if they were so disposed, for
the arteries of commerce extend from Maine
to Texas, and from Florida to Oregon. The
country is one ; business is united in one
common bond of interest; and the people
must be one and united before any solid
prosperity may be returned unto the South.
This social ostracism is a cursed bane of
too many Southern people ; it is a damnable
principle that will keep up disturbance and
broil so long as allowed to operate. It
should be stifled at once, and a broad, liberal,
Christian, patriotic principle encouraged in
its stead.
