THE CAMPAIGN.
No one can overestimate the importance
attached to the political campaign upon
which we arc 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 The National Republican
effective in the great work before us, we
propose the following liberal
rates tor the campaign :
DAILY, single copy, 3 months SI.OO

The Republican contains more reading
matter than any other daily journal in the

The competition between the Judges for
the Democratic nomination for Governor
has terminated in the downfall of Judge
Reese, and the elevation of Judge Irwin
to the unenviable position. The discom
fitted Judge comes out in a letter, more
characterized by bad taste and ill-temper
than becomes the dignity of a Judge, and
cannot help giving a fling in liis last spasms
at Col. Bullock, who is not at all to blame
for the mortifying slight put upon him.
He would have had more- reason to vilify
Col. Bullock after the 20th of April had
he been a candidate. It was that omnipo
tent little sanhedrim, the Macon clique, who
pretend to dictate to all the people of Geor
gia what they shall do and what they shall
not do, that the defunct Judge ought to
blame. They could not wait for Reese—
he was too slow. A man who would take
ten days to consider and find out that his
“election would be of no practical benefit
to the people” (a singularly candid confes
sion) won’t do for these fast times. So
much for Reese— may he rest in peace.
As to Judge No. 2— Judge Irwin— we
shall not imitate the filthy fellows who edit
the Democratic press in their treatment of
Col. Bulloc k. Each is the equal of the
other in respectability ; and no man can say
nuglit with truth against the private charac
ter of either. We obj ect to the disrep u table
company we find Judge Irwin in—consort
ing with traitors and Democrats, and nomi
nated by them to the highest office in the
State. True, he has been a reconstructionist
and a Union man, but men up in his
section have a way of changing their
politics two or three times between break
fast and dinner, and it may be Judge
Irwin has acquired that bad habit. We
may take it for granted, from the crowd he
is in that, although a Union man and a
member elect to the “Radical-Negro-Con
vention,” he is now a disunionist, opposed
to reconstruction and opposed to the rati
fication of the Constitution. Upon th«
great questions in which the people of
Georgia are so vitally interested, the Judge
is wholly silent, and it is the intention of
the Macon regency to keep him so. It
won’t do for the Judge to declare to a
clique of traitors that he loves his country;
to disunionists that he would have the State
batk in the Union ; to those who wish to
perpetuate anarchy and strife, that he
wishes civil government organized, the
Constitution adopted, and the people to
resume a course of prosperity and peace.
We do not pretend to assert that Judge
Irwin is not a Republican and a patriot,
but as we find him nominated by Demo
crats, and disunionists, it is fair to judge
the candidate by the party which supports
him—they must have found something
congenial to their own sentiments in his,
or they would not have nominated him.
If Judge Irwin is in favor of bringing
back the State into the Union—-if lie is
in favor of the Constitution and its rati
fication, he is not a fit candidate for the
party that nominated him, as our trans
cendental neighbor over the way insinu
ated a day or two aioce, and hi* candidacy
is useless, for the party which is in favor
of those measures have already a candi
date in tha field his equal in every re
spect, except in being a “native Georgian |
a claim which the Democracy, who hato
the “ nigger” so much, ought to consider
a dubious advantage, ns most of the
colored people of the State arc “native
Georgians.” If Judge Irwin does not
stand on the platform of the new Consti
tution, he is not a fit candidate for those
who do, so that in either case he is a super
fluous or an inimical candidate. Will he
let us know which, speedily ?
CONSISTENCY.
The “old conservative,” of yesterday
morning, is unhappy. The Macon concu
bines were barren, and there was no candi
date brought forth; hence, no false nomi
nating honors to claim, and the sliaddowy
mirage of fat offices fading before the
strong light of the Reconstruction sun,
leaves him in deep despair.
“Oconee” wails in this wise: “Whether
this action of the committee will receive
the hearty support of the party remains to
be seen.”
Again : “ The more we examine the sub
ject the more wc become convinced that
this unjust and unlawful measure should
be defeated.”
And again: “By preventing the Bul
lock faction from getting possession of the
State Government we may preserve some
of our rights (offices ?) even though the Con
stitution should be ratified. The great in
terests (offices ?) involved are worth the
necessary efforts to secure success. Let our
people go to work manfully to beat the
race.” Which “race 1”
If you beat the race of the Constitution
by defeating it, what will your chief
office-giver act under ? If you fail to de
feat the Constitution, you need not hop*
to beat the regular Constitutional candi
date, R. B. Bullock.
Gentlemen, you have our pity. We
know you are bewildered, bedeviled and
troubled. It's your own fault. Greedy
people always grab for the shadow, and
lose the substance.
The Constitutionalist, a paper which has
enjoyed a reasonable degree of credit for
political consistency, states its trouble, in
good plain English, as follows :
“This is an unfortunate confession of
weakness and a dismal tribute to the wide
spread demoralization of the masses ; but
we are charitable enough to believe that
»uch a proceedure was unavoidable.”
That’s the right spirit—be charitable—
“charity covcrith a multitude of sins.”
II OR 11C Cl TUBAL.
There is a Democratic organization
called the Ku-Klux Klan, which seems
likely to spread wherever robbery, mur
der, rape, and all the crimes of the deca
logue are popular.
We advise all quiet people, who suspect
that the “Klan” lias extended to their
neighborhood, to keep their fire arms well
loaded, to shoot every person who comes
near their house in disguise after nine
o’clock at night, and refuses to answer a
bail. If the house is broken open, show
no light in it, but be prepared with a
stout bowie knite, and stab silently in the
dark every moving thing that attempts to
enter. In the morning, remove the carrion,
and bury it in a manure heap. There is
no better compost for onions, and it is
first-rate for all other garden vegetables.
By pursuing this course, you will not only
enrich your gardens, but produce a sensi
ble diminution of the “Ku-Klux Klan.”
Hon. Ben. W ade’s “Policy.” — Oil seve
ral points, Mr. Wade seems to have decided
that it will be his duty, if he succeed to the
Presidency, to have a policy. He speaks ol
them—not obtrusively—least of all after the
fashion of the milkmaid counting the
chiekens in her egg basket—but with simple
and manly frankness.
“The very first thing I should try, if such
a thing as we are talking about should
happen, would be to see to it that the real
Union men of the South are protected.
Those people down there have made us
enough ot trouble—first by their treason,
and since the surrender by their continual
turbulence. I don’t believe they have ever
been rilled with a firm enough hand. lam
of course in favor of giving them justice
always; but they must not interfere with
the rights of others nor disobey the laws.”
Tun Plot Thickens. —That row of which
we spoke a few days since ns going on in
the camp of the spoilsmen—Bullock, Brown,
and Bradley—still vexes the faithful. Bul
lock continues to get letters urging his
withdrawal from the race in favor of Brown,
and Brown’s friends give out that he is
overwhelmed with letters urging him to
appeal to his Radical masters at Washing
ton to relieve his “disabilities,” so that he
can make the run —Micoa Journal and
Messenger.
“Hope deferred maketh the heart sick,”
saith the Scripture; and this is the very
complaint with which our Macon friend is
troubled. In fact he is so badly affected,
that the disease is incurable. Is it not a
misfortune that some disagreement can not
happen in the Reconstruction party like
that which had killed the opposition dead ?
We know where your prayers go, Mr.
Journal, but Satan can't help you.
All is peace, harmony, and good will, in
our ranks, and we are marching “conquer
ing and to conquer.” “Bullock’s letters”
announce hourly conversions. Reese and
Burke can come in when peniteut, and take
back seats.
Where did that money—those Repnb
lican Greenbacks—come from?
Aye—that’s the question ? Did “A. J.”
send it down South, or who did ?

CORRESPONDENCE.
We extract from our correspondence the
following:
GairriN, Ga., March 25.
The large meeting held here last Saturday
passed off in fine style. The lull county
ticket wns nominated, and resolutions were
adopted with great enthusiasm, endorsing
Bullock for Governor and Gove for Con
gress—thus making all harmony here. The
natural and mutual support between work
ing men is drawing to the support of our
candidate a large number of those in the
country who are not too proud to earn their
own living by honest industry.
Since our meeting a few dissatisfied spirits
have been trying to derange matters by put
ting up another candidate for representative,
but it is idle. We will carry the District by
a large vote.
Columbus, March 25, 1868.
The report which has been sent over the
country by that uncertain thing at Atlanta,
called the Opinion, to the effect that Colonel
Ashburn would support Irwin, is entirely
without foundation. He is hearty aud earnest
in his support of the regular nominee, and
will stump the district for Col. Bullock, the
man for the hour. At a large meeting of
the club held here, he so announced himself,
and was received with deafening applause.
The old Tycoon is on the war path, and will
make it hot for the rebs and Ku Klux Klan.
Col- Edwards, candidate for Congress, made
a bold speech, which was received with great
satisfaction ; and his nomination is fully en
dorsed and approved. We are all harmo
nious, happy, aud in good fighting condition.
The K. K. K. Clubs are issuing their
orders, or dropping them into our pockets,
and threatening hell and destruction to the
white men ot our party. “Our days are
numbered” they say, but it has not, nor will
it have any effect upon us, as we have before
passed through the fires of vigilance com
mittees, and shall go on in doing our duty
in spite of General Forrest and his rascally
followers. Dr. Tuggle will support tha
regular nominations both in district and
State, and will exercise all his great influ
ence for their success.” I have heard from
all this section, and a perfect enthusiasm is
up for Bullock. Dr. Caldwell reports every
thing going right in the country.
Dalton, Ga., March 26, IS6B.
Editor National Republican:
It affords me much pleasure to be able, in
truth, to say that the cause of peace and
reconstruction is moving forward with a firm
and steady step. Our lines are unshaken,
even by the pie-bald candidate, Judge Irwin,
who was thrown out at first as u tub to the
whales, to divert the straggling wing of the
Democracy, who are willing to accept the
infamous Constitution, provided they can be
first to swear by its unholy purposes, in
being elected to hold the offices. Now, that
the frontispiece of this machinery, Judge
Reese, lias withdrawn his name, because of
the Constitutional ignorance of his friends, in
not knowing his ineligibility, the ends
have been severed, and now the tail of this
huge monster is foremost. In other words,
the cart is before the horse, and his speed to
this extent impeded. The people see it, and
are giving in daily their adhesion to Bul
lock and the Constitution. We are at work
organizing to a man—wo intend to whip the
fight, and our only weapons shall be truth,
the Constitution with its inestimable benefits,
and the man identified with its every-part —
Colonel R. B. Bullock.
Reconstructionist.
West of Chattahootchie, March 27.
Editor National Republican.
Your daily is proving of invaluable ad
vantage to our cause in this section of the
State. Our cry is “light, more light,” to
dispel the gloom thatnow shrouds the minds
of our disconsolate “so called.” All that
IS wanting io tv iuotxuot il»o K>;ucali liudui
standing of the great masses and they are
right to a man.
The Democracy, “so called,” are in a
mighty stir just about this time. They see
in the approaching election their final doom,
as it is a question alone with thorn of bread.
It has no other significance. The glorious
old banners that bore the noble inscriptions
that wafted Polk and Pierce into office, are
now trailing in the dust beneath the un
hallowed feet of the blood-hounds who are
scenting after the “fiesh-pots.” Democracy
has been perverted from the popular signifi
cance of the term or its derivation sense,
and truly means demos (devilish), and
cratus (crazy). It reminds one, in this
country, of the memorable party once
known as the Jane Young or Zugalo party,
and, I apprehend, is just about as formida
ble. The fact is, lam pretty certain its
chieftain, Judge Irwin, was an elector upon
this memorable ticket.
Whither has Democracy drifted, and
where will it stop ? Can it presume longer
to beguile a people into its support in the
vain hope that it possesses one element of
strength or principle characteristic of it
in its better days ? No, never ! The cheat
is too evident. The good souse of the honest
yeoman “snuffs treason in the very tainted
gall” it breathes, and will no longer he abused
by its popular significance. Strange signifi
cance. We were taught once to believe that
a Democracy was one in which the people
ruled. The negro is, by the action of the
Convention, a citizen, but because he i3
black alone, he must not enjoy a freeman’s
highest privilege—the right of suffrage.
What crimes have not been perpetrated
under the once lovely garb of this once
noble party. Its pure purposes have been
perverted into a “clap trap,” that means
office and its spoils’. Let every thing perish
—country, honor, yea liberty—but let us
have the offices under this new structure of
our Government. Give us the teat at which
we have so long sucked, and upon which we
have built our fortunes, and vile as this
infamous work of scalawags and niggers is,
aided by devils and carpet baggers, wo will
gulp it down, swear by its unholy pur
poses, and steep our souls in the guilt of its
every crime. Mr. Editor, tho writer of this
is an old Democrat, born one, imbibed in
infancy the State rights doctrines of Calhoun
and McDuffee, went with his State out of the
Union, fought four years for the Confederacy
in the web footed iufantry, got whipped, and
came home to abide the consequences. They
have been milder than expected, as the war
was waged and conducted upon the idea that
it involved life, liberty and property, yea
negro equality and supremacy—a state of
affairs we would deplore ns much as any
living man.
What can the Democracy mean ? What
hopes do they promise the people ? None on
earth, save in the idea that in due time the
Democracy of the Northwest will come to
our relief. Now, sir, my experience teaches
me there is nothing to hope tor from them.
Andy Johnson is a3 powerless at Washington
as a sheep dumb before his shearers. It
was the Northwestern Democracy that bore
triumphantly the flag of the Union in all
this war. Nine-tenths of the Army of the
Cumberland was made up by Democrats;
and to day they would come up like ants
from the ground to sustain the Congress
and Union—glad of an opportunity to re
garrison our towns, desolate our homes, and
insult our wives and daughters. They are
no friends of ours. Then, why trust them ?
They have proven their recreancy in every
hour or emergency of need.
Wo are all alive to our interests in this
county. Our people can not be deceived
longer by the “so-called Democracy.” The
Constitution, Bullock, and Relief to the
destitute is their motto, and its force is felt
in every hollow, and upon every hill in North
Georgia. Let our friends every where be up
and doing, and ratify a Constitution which
is in the main adequate to our wants, and
will secure peace, happiness and prosperity
to the people. Let us elect men in sympathy
with its requirements, who appreciate it as a
whole, from our noble standard bearer, Col.
It. B. Bullock, down, and an era will dawn
upon us such as we have not seen since tho
Star of Dixie mounted the horizon in 1861.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Impeachment—No farther Delay—Withdrawal of
Count el for Defenee —Renton given therefor —
Political J fattest Connecticut Election.
Washington, D. C., March 25, 1808.
Tho successive steps thus far taken to
ward the impeachmcot trial must convince
the country that no unnecessary delay will
be tolerated. Seventy days’ time, in all,
have been demanded by the President’s
counsel, and seventeen granted. As before
stated—exclusively in this correspondence—
Mr. Johnson has had difficulty with several
of his legal advisers. As usual he has man
aged to get his version of tho difficulty with
Judge Black before tho public first. Ac
cording to this statement Mr. Black wanted
an island seized for a client of his. But the
real cause of the difficulty is believed to be
just what I previously stated, viz : That
Mr. Johnson refuses to follow the advice of
his counsel in their line of defense. Had
he done so it is believed there would have
been bloodshed. Black believes in action,
law or no law, and putting overybody else
on the defensive. It is fortunate for the
President and well for the country that the
defense have thus far kept within the pale
of the law.
There have been an unusually large
number of visitors in the city during the
impeachment trial; hundreds of people
started for home last night, to return next
week, as it is pretty certain the trial will be
commenced next Monday without fail. It is
predicted very confidently by leading Demo
crats, that Mr. Johnson never will be con
victed. A prominent member of that party
stated to-day, that there was SIOO,OOO on
deposit in this city to back up this belief.
The Metropolitan Hotel has been adopted as
headquarters by Democratic politicians, and
at this hotel pretty much all the caucusing
is done to out-general the dangerous Radi
cals. The corridors of the hotel are thronged
every evening, and here representative men
can be found from all sections of the coun
try. The Republican politicians are about
equal'y divided between Willard’s and the
National, but the political “change” is at
the former hotel.
The President continues to be surrounded
by a class of men who were, until recently,
his most bitter enemies, and some curious
stories are told of the kiud of people seen
dodging out of the White House at late
hours of the night. Even judges have been
seen thus trying to evade the public eye, but
unsuccessfully, for there are many people
who gain entrance to the Executive mansion
fey the back door.
A prominent Republican, who has spent
two weeks in travelling about Connecticut
on a political mission, asserts 'with great
confidence that the State will give a decided
Republican majority at the approaching
election. In his opinion, the party there is
numerically as strong to day as it was
in 1864. Arrangements are being made to
send all citizens of Connecticut, temporarily
residing in Washington, home on the day of
election. This was neglected in the case of
New Hampshire.
A New Yorker, who has been in Florida
Fo«- lb© l*»ot tiro months, is oo plooood -rrith
the climate of that State, that he has decided
to locate there after reconstruction. He has
purchased an old plantation for $12,000, the
buildings upon which alone cost more than
$20,000, On the place is an orange orchard,
which, if properly cultivated, would yield
$40,000 worth of oranges per year. Now,
in his opinion, is the time for Northern
capitalists to invest at the South.
CAPITAL.
[From the Atlanta Era.
LOOK OUT FOR LITTLE MEN
Willl BIG LUNGS.
Before the election upon the question of
calling a Convention to frame the new Con
stitution, it was asserted, over and over
again, that no white men would vote. On
the night of the first day of the election,
dispatches were sent from all parts of the
State, saying that no whites had voted. But
it was a lie, manufactured and circulated
for effect. Nearly one half the white men
of Georgia voted for Convention. A full half
would have voted, if it had not been for
intimidation and threats from violent men.
How is it now? All over the up-country,
these same men are asserting that all the
white people are for Irwin. Little county
officers, and others, whose interest it is to be
on the strong side in the precinct or county
where they live, are loudest on this subject.
Agents and employees ot the State Road
are also noi*y on this subject, because
Campbell Wallace is for Irwin, and they
think their bread and butter is in danger.
This small but boisterous body of men
will be more badly deceived than they ever
were before. A few counties in North
Georgia can not control an election now, as
they once could. Irwin could hot be elected
with 20,000 majority from North Georgia.
But he can not get 5,000 majority, if hislife
depended upon it. In many counties he will
be beaten. The quiet and serious portion of
the up-couutry people will vote for Ratifica
tion, and if they do that, they will and must
vote for Bullock. They will not take the
Constitution and elect an enemy to it, and
themselves upon it. The people must have
credit for a little common sense? Those of
them who have taken the odium of going for
Reconstruction, and have been denounced as
disgraced for so doing, are not going to
abandon the new Constitution to its enemies.
They had as well nr* made it at all as to do
this. Men who opposed the framing of the
new Constitution will find it no easy task to
drive away in disgrace the men who framed
it, and walk off with the State of Georgia in
their pockets.
Let the friends of Reconstruction stand
firm. Let them drive back the hungry herd
who were not able to have common respect
for those who were willing to frame anew
Constitution before the work was done, but
who would now greedily eat it up and fatten
upon it. The friends of the Constitution will
elect Bullock triumphantly.
The Republican Candidate in Gborgia.
—Colonel Rufus B. Bullock, nominated for
Governor of Georgia by the Republican
Nominating Convention of ’that State, was
for years a resident of this city, connected
with the Atlantic and Ohio Telegraph Com
pany as Manager. About 1857 he went
South with the Adams Express Company,
and remained at his post amid all the diffi
culties that surrounded his position during
the war. His election will gratify his numer
ous frieuds and former associates in this city.

with any one who mav draw her. The offer
is said to be bona ful*.
[From the Atlanta New Era.
“BULLOCK, THE CARPET-BAGGER .”
Col. Bullock has been a resident of Geor
gia ten years. Daring the whole of that
time he haa applied himself to business pur
suits with success, and has sustained the
character of an irreproachable gentleman.
In New York, his native State, he was cs!
teemed as a gentleman and a man of strict
businoss habits and unquestioned integrity.
The papers, where ho has lived and was
best known, speak of him in the highest
terms.
Beforehand the war, he has sus
tained a fine reputation as a financier and
general business manager. During the
whole of his ten years’ life in the South he
has never done aught to forfeit the esteem
of the Southern people. But now that the
Reconstruction party has selected him as
the proper man for Governor of Georgia, it
is suddenly discovered that be is a “carpet
bagger,” a “scalawag,” a “Yankee adven
turer,” and an “interloper.” What a jewel
is consistency when carried to such ex
tremity as this. What an admirable feature
of sectional character this mode of pro
ceedure suggests. Verily, men have given
themselves over to ignorance and intoler
ance, and arc confounding and stultifying
principle with a most disgusting and nar
row minded practice.
We have the highest assurances that Col.
Bullock, if elected, will gather about him
the first gentlemen in Georgia. His appoint
ments will be made with a special regard to
the fitness of the appointee. To all the
judicial offices he will appoint such men as
will faithfully and impartially execute the
laws of the State. To all other offices of
trust and responsibility he will appoint men
of established ability and integrity. We
have reason to believe he is under no pledges
to any one. He is in the hands of the
friends of Reconstruction, and, if elected,
will be true to the people of the State, and
execute the laws as fairly and fully as any
man. Though he was not born in the State,
ten years’ devotion to business here has cen
tered ail his personal interests in the com
munity where he resides. He, os mueh as
any one, is interested in a good government
for Georgia, for it is impossible to separate
his interest from the interest of every other
property holder in the State.
The great hullabulloo which is being
raised by the opposition press over his
nativity, is but the idle mouthings of folly.
It is too insignificant for refutation or re
proof. It is a confession of weakness and
hopelessness, which should startle every so
called Democrat in the State, and set him to
thinking. It shows a lack of argument that
fairly yields the campaign to the Reconstruc
tionists, and tho election will prove it.
[Communicated.
Editor of the Atlanta Era : I see in the
Intelligencer that some writer says the Bui
lockites gavo a ball before the nomination
for Governor, at my boarding house, to
unite the negroes on Bullock, and head oS
Farrow—that Bullock subscribed fifty dol
lars to get it up, and that the candidate for
Governor, with others, “danced, sung, and
caroused” with negro wenches, etc. Now
this statement is without the shadow of
truth.
1 did give an entertainment, as elegant as
I could get up, the night after the Constitu
tional Convention adjourned, in honor, of
Col. Bullock’s nomination, and it was at
tended by a number of white gentleman
of as good character as any. It is nothing
new, as the people of Atlanta know, for
white gentlemen of the highest order of
respectability, of Southern birth, to eat at
my table. They have done so for years
past.
Col. Bullock did not subscribe a dollar to
wards the entertainment, nor did he promise
to pay anything towards it. He was present
a very short time, and neither “danced,”
nr <4 carnnspfl” with ftnjrhnrljr FTp bp
haved like a quiet and polite gentleman, I
believe he is an honorable man, and will, if
elected, do justice to both races, and make a
good Governor. I advise every colored man
iu Georgia to vote for him.
As to drinking, I can only say I had
nothing stronger than sylabub. But there
was some dancing that night. The young
ladies were, I believe, all white men’s daugh
ters. They behaved themselves with the
utmost decorum and propriety. The dance,
however, was conducted in a house I built
for a store house, and not in my dwelling.
The colored delegates engaged in the dunce,
but it did not begin until alter Col. Bullock,
Judge Dunning, and other white gentlemen
had left.
This was not the first edtertainment I
gave. I got op one of the best I could for
the colored delegates after the vote on the
removal of the Capitol. Some white gentle
men of the oily promised to aid in that enter
prise with funds, but they failed to do so,
and I gave the supper at my own expense.
