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 “ 1® copies, “ “ 8.00 The Republican contains more reading matter than any other daily journal in the State, including the latest news by mails and telegraph. TtTF. 4 rid vv nvFu . 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 ? The widow of Henry Ernst, the illustrious violinist and composer ot the famous “Carni val of Venice,” lives in destitute circum stances in Vienna. A concert was recently given for her benefit, to keep her out of the poor houso. Ernst lost his whole fortune, a few- years previous to his death, by the ras cality of a Parisian banking houso. Edward McPherson, theclerk of the House of Representatives, writes, under date of Wednesday last, that “the impression about Washington is deepening that the President's conviction and removal arc inevitable. This is the candid judgment of both friends [and foes.” 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. ItaCONSTKUCriONIST. From our Special Correspondent.J 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. —Philadelphia Bulletin. A man in Buffalo, who has a wife of only half his age, and has become tired of her, proposes to raffle her off on the 23d March. Tickets, 25 cents. He recommends her as a good housekeeper, who is willing to stay 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.
