the money they are spending did not come
out of their pockets, for they never had it

to a meeting recently held in that place, the
writer says that after the people had been
harangued by Gen. Gordon and the apos

Augusta,'' proceeded to “set them right in
these matters of State in a way so plain that

Dishonorable Warfare,
The Tory organs of this city continue to
publish tho falsehoods started by a Tory
paper in Macon, against the reconstruction
candidate for Governor, notwithstanding
Fiey have been proved to be as destitute of
truth as are their authors of principle. If
such a method of opposition to Col. Bl li.ock
does not disgust three-fourths of the
“respectable” readers of the Chronicle
and the Constitutionalist, they’ are very
different persons from what wc take them
to be. This easy calling of names and
making mouths, betrays a degree of weak
ness which excites more of pity than any
other feeling. The desperation of the
Democracy is indeed unparalelled.
The Duly of Kepublicans.
The gubernatorial contest in Georgia is
between Bullock, the friend of restoration,
and Gordon, the obstructionist. The patriotic
duty of every true Republican is to labor
untiringly in order to frustrate the conspiracy
of the opponents of Reconstruction. Let the
Republicans of Georgia be united, and our
Stute will at once renew her glorious career.
Every one can aid the good work. The
bright memories that cluster around the
cause are alone sufficient to imbue all of us
with energy and faith, even if the prospects
surrounding us were even less cheering.
As it is, we have everything to inspire us
with confidence. The principles which we
endorse have true vitality in them ; we have’
but to gallantly struggle against our foes
resolving never to give them an inch of
ground by our lukewarmness, and all will be
well.
-
Dutj'nf llie Hour.
Friends of the Union, the time has arrived
when you must bestir yourselves. No party
ever triumphed without constant, persevering
and zealous effort. You must make such
an effort if you would succeed—with such
an effort you can succeed. The prospect of
success is every day growiug brighter and
brighter. Eet us then go to work, and devote
ourselves to the cause. Circulate the docu
ments, and arouse the people everywhere, to
the dangers which threaten the State should
her restoration ‘be defeated. In this good
work we are willing to do our part. Hence
we have ; placed the terms of our paper so
low, that it may be scattered broadcast over
the State, and arm every man with the
means of defending the cause and our noble
standard bearer. Let us, then, make a com
mon and earnest effort, and Georgia will be
redeemed. It can be accomplished if we
will all do our duty—our whole duty.
Organisation— liner gy—t Vctio in.
Let these be the watchwords of every
Republican in Georgia. It is evident that
there is a Republican majority of many
thousand votes in the State. Let them be
brought forth and deposited for Bui, I. OCX
and the Constitution. It is due to she noble
cause of Restoration—to our worthy and
patriotic standard-bearer—to our love of
country—to the peace and welfare of the
State, that we should be up and doing.
Let every Republican bestir himself, and
pint forth all the zeal of his nature in the
cause to which he is attached. He, will
enjoy in so doing, the high gratification of
feeling that he is doing his duty; and when
the glorious triumph that awaits us in Geor
gia shall he trumpeted forth to our rejoicing
friends in other States, he will feel a proud
satisfaction in the reflection that he was not
a laggard and a drone in the grand struggle
which crowns our banner with victory.
Camion.
"Drowning men catcii at straws." The
conductors of the Tory press in this section
seem to base their hopes of success in tlie
pending canvass upon their misreprcsenta
lions to the people, relative to the antece
dents of Colonel Bii.i.ocs ; and as they
dare not openly advocate their own princi
ples, and must have some political capital
to operate on, we have no doubt that they
will continue to retail these fabrications,
with the hopes of making votes for Gordon
by these contemptible means.
Let all honest men beware of these wolves
in sheep’s clothing. Those who propagate
such falsehoods, or countenance such im
morality for political effect, are breaking
down the great barrier which protects the
inner temple of American liberty. When
truth and morality are bartered for party
success, we may tremble for the fate of our
country. Again, we say, beware—be not
deceived. As the crisis approaches, the
I ory presses become more and more reck
less in their assertions. Their zeal out
strips their discretion, and their preposterous
inventions and distortions of truth, in most
cases, carry contradiction on their face.
Smoking.
Two New Yorker* had a smoking match
on Monday. One human chimney consumed
twelve cigars and a quarter from 8 to 12
p. m. The less enterprising only got through
ten and a half.
In Stage coaching days we knew well a
young gentleman who upon a wager, lighted
a cigar in W—n, and kept tho fire all day
long, eating breakfast and dinner, in the
meantime, und won the bet easily. That
was over twelvo hours continuous smoking
for you !
The It ighi Kind of Religion.
“I want,” says Undo Nick, “and wc al l
want a religion that not only bears on the
sinfulness of sin, but on the rascality of
lying and stealing—religion that banishes
all small stones and pebbles from cotton
bags, sand from sugar, cltickory from coffee,
alum from bread, lard from butter, strych
nine from wine, and water from milk cans.
The religion that is to advance tlic world,
says uncle Nick, will not put the big straw
berries and peaches ou the top and all
the bad ones at tho bottom. It will not
offer more baskets of foreign wines than the
vineyards ever produced, in bottles.”
Cheering- New* from all Part* of
Georgia.
We are daily receiving cheering news
from every county in the State The people
are “talking out in ineetin,” and the skies
are brighter than ever before during the
campaign. The Union feeling is pervading
and permeating every hill, valley, and moun
tain top. Reconstruction and relief, and the
settlement of the vexed questions of the day,
is taking hold of the minds of the people,
and they will give a good account of their
conclusions on Monday, the 20th instant-
Rally then to the polls next Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, all of
you who desire peace, law, order, aud all the
concomitants of good government. Rally
then men, to tho polls, every whore —let no
excuse keep you away.
“Conic, Rest In thii Bo«oiu.”
Our special reporter informs us that a very
interesting lack of unanimity prevailed
among the Obstructionists at the wigwam
on Ellis street, Tuesday night, when they
met to nominate County offices to “wipe out
the Radicals.” In fact, the occasion was
one ol more thau Ordinary interest—and
•vett tho parliamentary acumen of the
weighty Ex-Mayor who filled the chair, failed
*o impress upon the gentlemen present the
desirableness of the sentiment of the sweet
Singer of Grace—‘'Behold, how good and
how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell
together iu unity.” Hence no nominations
for County officers appeared the next morn
ing in the Ku Ivktx organs.
A Ilis Trade.
Chicago has cut St. Louis oat of the
“mountain trade,” which was worth eight
millions last year.
We always knew that Chicago was a great
place, and St. Louis also, but if they have
been trading in such small things as “moun
tains,” we are like tho Queen of Sheba —
not the half has been told us. We have
heard of “pocket saw mills,” and “patent
buck action hen persuaders,” and the
like, as articles of traffic—but “mountains”
passeth our knowledge. And then tho big
amount stated ! Well, “big things” require
big amounts of money, of course, and all
we want to know is, are elephants merchant
able in Chicago ? Bat, perhaps “mountain
trade” means trade iti “mountain dew”—
vulgarly called whiskey.
'S'Sic Great Contest.
No man should bn neutral in this great
contest. All the issues of the Union party
arc at stake, and if Mr. Gordon is elected
under the circumstances, and surrounded as
he will be by the desperate and reckless of
the Tory party, then it is clear to every
reasonable mind that new troubles are in
reserve for our people.
The Unionists of Georgia must stand
together as a unit in this contest. Let what
will come, we must act together; we must
watch over and guard the sacred flame that
burns in our temple of liberties.
Bum.ock and the Constitution! let these
words bo inscribed upon our banners and
ballots. From the mountains and the val
leys, borne on every breeze, comes the good
tidings that our people are united in coun
cil and action, determined to preserve our
liberties and the Union too. Georgians,
everywhere, are rallying with equal zeal and
unanimity to the support of the Republican
candidate for Governor, and the principles
ho represents—principles upon which de
pend the welfare and perpetuity of our
institutions.
As the time approaches, our pulse beats
higher and warmer, and our confidence
grows stronger and stronger that our noble
old State is on the eve of restoration.
Excerpts.
“Bullock is a carpet bagger —Bullock is
an Express Agent—Bullock can neither
speak nor write—is unfit for Governor.” —
Tory Democratic Papers and Speakers.
Col. Bullock is a gentleman by nature,
and a true man by daily practice—self
made, and'with an indomitable perseverance,
unequalled by few. Ilia every interest is
identified with the State of Georgia; he is
one of the people, and by a very large
majority of them will lie be endorsed no*t
week, showing the confidence and trust re
posed in him by the citizens of Georgia.
These things, known and read of all men, are
what causes the howls and gnashing of
teeth of the Tory press and sturapisti of the
State. J list here let us quote from the
Charlotte (N. C.) Republican the lollowing
conclusion of an article 'upon Gov. Holden,
which we consider applicable to this me
ildian :
When Gov. Wise was once running f«r
the Gubernatorial chair ol Virginia, and
haranguing the people front the stump, some
ill bred person in the crowd rudely inter
rupted him with sonic low flung remark, at
which the Governor suddenly stopped, draw
ing himself up to the full stature of his
manly form, and flashing his eagle eye upon
the rowdy, and exclaimed : “Young man, 1
shall bo elected Governor, and one of the
first things to attract my official notice will
be a petition from some worthy friend us
yours to keep your head out of a halter.
Oh, be sure, 1 will not forget you !”
Let us adopt the now Constitution, and
the day will forever have passed away when
a man, otherwise gifted and noble, shall be
banned and despised because of his humble
origin.
Our Platform.
1. The restoration of power to the people.
2. The restriction of the veto within
legitimate limits.
3. The restoration of our State to its true,
safe and legitimate purposes.
4. The rescue of the Government from
the grasp of demagogues.
ft. Retrenchment of extravagant expendi
tures.
6. Tho assumption of tho Constitution as
the platform of our political faith,
7 A return to the old and safe paths
of honesty, sincerity, patriotism and public
virtue.
With this declaration of principles, the
friends of Pullout aud Restoration go
before the people.
Bow lie Fell.
A good story is told of Hill, at one of h’a
List ravings in Southwest Georgia. Ben
was closing his speech, when he said he did
not bclievo there was a Republican present,
if there was he wanted him to show himself.
Just then ati old gentleman rose up in the
crowd and said he was a Republican. “Ah !’,
says Hill, “how do you feel, my friend?
just let the crowd know how a Republican
feels after hearing one of my constitutional
arguments?” “Well," said the old gent,
“Mr. Hill, I feel just like a grain of good
wheat surrounded by night soil,” (but he
used a different word).
"Tlic Work Goes Bravely On.”
From the heart of our Bullock, upon the
altar of patriotism, a live coal of true allegi
ance to the Union has kindled every heart-
The work goes bravely ou. The fire is
spreading. Far above the clamor of politi
ticians, above the din of scramblers for office,
tho people hear the clarion voice—“With
malice toward none, with charity to all,
looking only to the glory, peace and pros
perity of our noble State, I will execute the
Constitution and the laws at every hazard
and at every cost.” Shall we, can we fail ?
Let the voice of free Georgians rend the air
with the shout, “No, never!” Push forward
tho column.
itiosrnpliical.
In a column aud a half biographical
sketch of Mr. Gordon, and anti-Constitution
candidate for Governor, which appeared in
yesterday’s Chronicle, his fitness for the
responsible position to which he aspires is
set forth by the historian, thusly : “A great
uncle, a Captain Gordon, especially distin
tinguished himself in the Revolutionary
war, in a charge at the battle of King’*
Mountain, by seizing a British officer and
carrying him off successfully adowu the
mountain side,” and “Captain Wiley Gor
don, an uncle of the present (paroled)
General Gordon, iaised a company in North
Carolina to aid Texas in her war for inds'
pendenee.” And if this be not # enough to
make his title clear to the Executive mansion
we are further informed that “at tho early
age of eight years ho became profoundly im
pressed by religious truths,” aud “uot long
afterward he was added by baptism to the
membership of the Baptist Church"—the
usual method, we may add, of receiving
members into that denomination of Chris
tians. Paradoxical as it may appear, his
biographer adds that Mr. Gordon is a lawyer,
though that might be expected, as the
Democratic candidates for high offices arc
always lawyers.

[From the Circular ol Wm. liryco «fc Cos.
New York Colton Review'.
New York, April 10, 1868.
Tho roceipts in this country continue to be
watched with anxiety, although they have ceased
to be of primary importance. Tho largo increase
reported by telegraph this week is, beyond a
doubt, made at the oxpense of tho interior towns,
where the stocks are dwindling to an alinostjinsig
nificant amount. This theory of receipts seems
generally accepted, and we do not think a very
marked decrease for tho last week in April would
have much effect on prices. Every bale will be
pushed forward on a basis of 30c., and everybody
expects it. On this account, then, wo do net
think our receipts will havo much effect in ad
vancing prices for the rest of the season.
In regard to next crop wc hear most favora
ble tidings ; the negroes are workiug well and
tho season so far has not been unfavorable ; the
general accounts are that as much cotton will be
planted as last 3’car. That present prices arc an
immenso stimulus is undeniable, yet we would
call tho attention of our planter friends to the
fact that present prices are as well appreciated
in foreign countries as in America, and that a
large increase in production must be anticipated
next season; bearing this in mind we would
urge on every planter to raise a little more corn
than actually required, and not bo obliged to
sell cotton next Fall in order to buy Western
corn ; for tho experience of the past three years
has proved beyond a doubt that with free labor
cotton farms cannot be productive where cotton
is raised at tho expense of corn
Manchester must find *omo point at which
cotton will not bo consumed at the present rate,
and that point must bo discovered right speedily
or the available stock* in Liverpool and afloat
therefor will pass entirely into speculative
hands, which can put prices whore they please
and cause an era of wild excitement which must
eventuate, as all similar movements have, in
widespread disaster. Statistically, nothing can
be stronger than tho present position of cotton.
The total visible supply for Liverpool to last
cable dates was in round numbers 736,000
bales. Suppose that 400,600 bales additional
are received between now and August 10 (some
seventeen weeks) —this would afford a supply of
1,136,000 bales ; the average takings for con
sumption and export this year have been 72,000
bales weekly. It is palpable that this supply
would be 68,000 bales less than what was
wanted, even if the 400,000 bales were dis
covered.
