“SUPPORT TOUR FRIENDS"
Miter National RepttUieem : Asa
friend of your joursal, l »»» sorr ? '*“*
(Thursday) morning, to j»*ru»« iho urticlo
untitled “Support Your Friends." Under
stand me. It is right und proper that Re*
publicane should “support" their friends,
generally speaking. It >» »•*» tru,! ,h,lt OMr
opponents in this city have inaugurated
business and social proscription, on political
grounds.’ But, Mr. Editor, the trite adage
that “two tcronys uever made one ri.jht'' is
applicable here. Our opponents engaged in
this senseless scheme will ere long bo
' heartily ashamed of their participation there
in—and the puuiskmcnt then inflicted liy
the inward monitor wilt be more effective
(and sarely more Christian-like) than aught
we can do in the way of “retaliation.”
As intimated above, this spirit of pro
scription will be short-lived. Georgia will
goon be restored to the Union, and im
mediately alter that happy event the face of
“society” as well as of business will undergo
a rapid transformation, by the presence
of scores and hundreds among us whom we
will gladly welcome as neighbors and friemlt.
Meanwhile, let the proscribed-for-opiniom.
sake pursue the even tenor of their way—
whi'e avoiding unnecessary retaliation, yet
prompt to resent personal indignities,—and
the not far off sequel will show the wisdom
of this policy and the excessive folly of the
last emanation of Chivalry, yclept proscrip
tion. Qi-is.

THE POISON WORKS.
Mr. Editor: The mail to day brought me
a letter from a well known Baptist clergy
man of Middle Georgia, an extract from
which I append for publication, as one of
the chapters of the remarkable history of
the times. I propose no comment. N.
(extract.]' *
-, Ga., May 13, 1808.
Dear Brother ****: I can not preach to
the people here muck—they refuse to hear
me. I took no part in the last election,
because I saw that it would injure my
ministerial influence. But I am, neverthe
less, ostracised here by the so called
Democracy. Regular combinations against
me in business, in social life, and in religion.
When the Pastor of the church at
was at the Convention at Augusta, I was
left in charge of the church here, and
preached for him to a good congregation.
On his return I inquired of him about the
matter of refusing a seat on the floor of the
Convention to the reporter of the National
Republican. He gave me the particulars.
I denounced the action of the Convention,
and in a subsequent conversation declared
my opinion that in doing as it did, it bad
made itself a political body, and was no
more worthy the confidence of the denomi
nation. I can yet see the action of the
Convention in no other light than that of
a political action. It should be styled here
after the “Democratic Baptist Convention of
Georgia”—it is not the “Georgia Baptist
Convention.”
But, having been previously suspected of
being a Republican, these remarks about
the Convention inflamed my Baptist brethren
of the Democratic persuasion, and as it was
known 1 was to preach again the fol
lowing Sabbath, I was notified by letter
that owing to the displeasure of some of the
brethri n with my “political status,'' my
congregation would he small. I said nothing,
hut went on about my duties. On Sabbath
morning certain men made their appear
ance at church, and immediately on tiic
adjournment of rhe Sabbath School, went
to work, brad and heart, to break up and
send off the congregation. They succeeded,
save with a few who know it is the Minister's
duty to preach Christ and not politics.
Yours, I).
THE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENT.
The following is the proposed Article of
the Constitution, which must be adopted by
the Legislature before tho Stale can lie
represented in Congress :
Resolved, by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of
America, in Conyress assembled, two thirds
of both Houses concurring, That the follow
ing articles be proposed to the Legislatures
of the several Slates as an amendment to
the Constitution of the United States, which,
when ratified by three fourths of said Legis
latures, shall be valid as a part of the
Constitution, namely:
Article —, Section 1. All persons born
or naturalized in the United States, and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citi
zens of the United States and of the State
wherein they reside. No State shall make
or enforce any laws which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States, nor shall any State deprive
any person of life, liberty, or property,
without due process ot law, nor deny to aiiy
person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.
Sec. 2. Representatives shall be ap|K>r
tioned among the several States according
to their respective numbers, counting the
whole number of persons in each State,
excluding Indians not taxed, But whenever
the right to vote at any election for electors
of President and Vice President, or for
United States Representatives in Congress,
executive or judicial officers of a Slate, nr
members of the Legislature thereof, is
denied to any of the male inhabitants ot
such States, being twenty one years of age
and citizens of the United States, or in any
way abridged, except for participation in
rebellion or other crime, the basis of repre
sentation therein shall be reduced in the
proportion which the number of such male
citizens shall hear to the whole number of
male citizens twenty one years of age in
such State.
Sec. 3. No person sha 1 be a Senator or
Representative in Congress, or elector of
President or Vice President, or hold any
office, civil or military, under the United
States, or under any State, who, having
previous y taken an oath as a member <f
Congress, or as an officer of the United
States, or as a member of any Sl ate I .eg
islature, or us ari executive or judicial officer
of any Stale, to support tlio Constitution of
the United States, shall have engaged in
insurrection or rebellion against the sumo,
or given aid or comfort to the enemies
thereof: hut Congress may, by a vote of
two thirds of each House, remove such
disability.
Sec. 4. The validity of the public debt of
the United States, authorized by law,
including debt incurred for tho payment of
pensions and bounties for services in sup
pressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not
be questioned; but neither the United
State* nor any State shall a*eu»e or nay
any debt or obligation incurred in aid ot
insurrection or rebellion again** the United
State*, or claim for the lon* or emancipation
of any slave ; but all *ucb debt*, obligation
and claim shall p* held illega and void.
Sec 5. The Congress shall have power
hi enforce by appropriate legislation, the
provision* of ibis artiole.
Passed June 13, iB6O.
We believe that the adoption of this
Amoiidnicut by five of the Stale* now under
going reconstruction is neoded to make it a
part of the Constitution.

Washington, I). May 10, 1868.
The excitement about the result of the
impeachment triul increases us the time
approaches for rendering the final uud irre
vocable verdict, whatever it may be, either
guilty or not guilty. The adjournment of
the Court for two or three days after deciding
to take a final vote on Tuesday was as much
as saying to a certain c lass of politicians, as
is frequently done to betting men at some
races after the first heat, “now is the time to
make your bets, gentlemen,” and they are
improving the opportunity. At the Metro
politan and other places where Democrats
most do congregate, impeachment stock is
always down—the Hears having it pretty
much their own way, and woe to the unlucky
wight entertaining opposite opinions who
express them publicly. He is at mice set
upon bv a ring, and badgered with questions
to elicit what he knows more than anybody
else, and is dared to hack up his opinions
with money—the real American way of
settling all differences ol opinion. At Re
publican haunts tho bulls reign supreme,
and an opponent of impeachment is at once
surrounded by similar difficulties, l’olitical
wiseacres gather ia groups at the hotels, on
the street corners, und button hole every one
to hear the last rumors as to how Fessenden
stands? what will Grimes do? is Trumbull
sure to vote for acquittal ? will Fowler vote
with the Republican majority? and each
new comer is plied with these and similar
questions. The answers are generally in
accordance with the political bias of the
questioned parly, for notwithstanding the
rumors to the contrary, no one lias yet been
found who knows definitely how any partic
ular Senator will vote.
The outside pressure is fearful to contem
plate, especially upon members of the Court
considered as doubtful, and whose votes
may determine the result of the trial. The
unscrupulous gamblers in politics, who are
influenced by no higher motive than per
sonal or party benefit, have established a
thorough system of espionage upon the
movements of all doubtful Senators, with a
view to gather some information by which
an inference may be drawn as to how they
will vote, or to exert some influence directly
or indirectly for or against conviction. To
this, Senators are dogged in places,
and even to their private apartments, by
eavesdroppers; every movement is carefully
watched to enable tiie seekers of informa
tion under difficulties to draw an inference.
If a member of the Court carries in his
hand an unusually large bundle of manu
script, he is drawn into conversation, and a
system of sharp practice resorted to which
would be creditable to a Tombs lawyer.
"Got your opinion against conviction written
out, eh ?” says one of this class the other
day; “How do you know that?" was the
response, and till that was obtained. The
report gained immediate currency that the
aforesaid had prepared a written opinion
against conviction, and as the questioned
party is a lawyer, and stands pretty high up
in the alphabetical list, tho probable influ
ence his vote would have upon several other
Senators lower down in the list, was freely
discussed. Os course the deduction was
drawn that the necessary two thirds vote
could not lie obtained. It is upon such
slight foundation as this that column upon
column of impartial (?) speculations have
been sent from tiie Capital to the presses
throughout the country to keep up the
excitement about impeachment. It is cer
tainly a relief to believe that on Tuesday
next all speculations as regards the result
of the trial of Andrew Johnson will he nt
an end
Now that the President Ims got the
Democratic lenders by the ears as regards
the Presidential nominee, it is believed that
lie cares hut little whether acquitted or
convicted. If convicted, lie intends to
insist upon being made a martyr in so fai
ns to secure the nomination of Gen. Han
cock, who he thinks can he elected, and lie
will thus he able to gratify his feeling ol
revenge entertained toward both political
organizations. A dead lion, however, is not
supposed to he a very dangerous animal,
Andrew Johnson’s opinion to the contrary
notwithstanding.
NORTH CAROLINA CONOIIKSSMKX.
Six of tiie seven Congressmen recently
elected in North Carolina are now in this
city, being on a committee to lay before the
President a certified copy of toe Constitu
tion recently adopted. I here gentlemen
are, with one exception, 1 believe, gradu
ates of Northern Colleges, and enjoy the
respect of everybody where known, always
excepting rebel sympathizers. This is the
class of men who arc designated as “carpet
baggers’’ and “adventurers.” They all
have capital invested in the Slate of their
adoption, ami are as much interested in its
material progress as men to the manor born.
THE SOUTH CAROLINA
white delegation, to remonstrate against tbs
new Constitution of that State, had an
interview with the Reconstruction Commit
tee on Friday. The remonstrance was
peculiarly South Carolinarish —or rather as
the tone and temper of that people were in
1800. They still wanted to be “let alone,”
which freely rendered, means, “keep your
Government agents away, and we can
manage the negroes and keep them in their
proper places.” Buchanan thought peace
could he preserved by giving up all the
principles gained at the ballot box in 18(i0.
The so called white party at the South to
day, propose to be good citizens provided
the principles gained by the late war are
given up. Such delegations do not find
many sympathizing friends in the Capital
to day. Their presence has rather a ten
dency to make more firm in purpose the
friends of progress.
The nomination for Mayor, of s’. <l. Bowen,
try tin- Republicans here, lias created a fear
ful bowl among rebel sympathizers Mr.
Bowen's offense is ltint he took early ground
in favor ot emancipation in the District, tied
was loyal to the Government at a time when
it was dangerous to express sur li sentiments,
even on l'nnnsytvniiia Avenue. The reign
of terror that prevailed until the arrival of
the 7tli N. Y. Regiment, in 1 Hi; 1, will never
be forgotten l.y the Union men residing here
at that time.
The Reconstruction Committee has pre

THE THIRTY FIVE THOUSAND.
Tbirtv five thousand native white North
Carolinians voted for the Constitution and
the Republican ticket in the late election.
These patriots have inarched up with steady
step to the ballot box, and declared in favor
of reconstruction and of equality before the
law in ipito of the fiercest denunciation, the
most rigid social ostracism, not unfrequentlv
at the risks of their lives, nnd in thousands
of instance* in the face of threats to press
them to the wall for debt, to turn them off
their rented land, and to uso all the power
of their wealth and influence to utterly
destroy them and their families. The men
who have passed this ordeal of fire tnoy ho
relied upon. They will never falter here
after. Count fifty thousand native white
votes for the Republican nomiueo for Presi
dent and the Union, in the next election.
We lost thousands of colored votes by reason
of fraud and intimidation. It was the white
men of North Carolina that decided the
question,
Ihe above from tiie Raleigh Standard of
the 14th inst., is true elsewhere. We claim
that 40,000 white men in Georgia has saved
our State, and a very large majority of them
natives. They have had an awful fire from
all quarters, hut have stood firm and un
hlauched, and there is no such word in their
vocabularies ns “falter,” hereafter, when a
more important crisis to our country’s his
tory occurs, in November next. The nomi
nees of the Chicago Republican Convention
will have a rousing majority upon the popular
votes, and an electoral veto beyond doubt
from this .State. We know great brag3 are
already being made by some of the Tory
Press of our State in regard to the Presi
dential election, hut we regard all such
bravado as the merest twaddle, and the mere
effervesenee of bottled wrath at defeat.
The Jacksonville Journal says : “Sergeant
Bates carried a double flag, which coufd be
turned inside out in an instant—one side
representing the stars and stripes, and the
other tho stars and bars. When in the cities
where his trick was understood, ho kept
outside tiie stars and stripes; but when
passing through the country, nnd where it
would have been hazardous to be seen with
the national colors, he would fling out tiie
rebel side of the flag. Thus ho was
enabled to make the trip in safety, but the
discovery of tho secret lias taken all the
romance and buncombe out of his adven
ture.”
A dashing young widow in Detroit pre
pared a pleasant surprise for her suitor a
few evenings since. Expecting a call from
him, she hid herself in a convenient corner,
and as he touched the knob of the door bell,
sprang out in the darkness of the evening,
and nearly smothered him—with kisses,
llis cool reception of her caresses startled
her with a recognition of the fact that
instead of her lover she had been lavishing
her sweetness upon the conductor oi a street
car, who had come with a note explaining
an unforeseen absence. The widow there
upon, with great propriety, fainted on the
spot.
