FOR VICE PRESIDENT:
Schuler Colfax,
Os I.\DIANA.
OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.
Thotfcamls of loyal hearts were thrilled
with gladness l»y the intelligence which
Hashed along the electric wires, on Thurs
day night, that the gn at Republican party
of the I'uion, in Convention at Chicago,
had unanunoudy selortcd General Grant
as our standard l>carcr in the coining
Presidential campaign.
This unanimous nomination affords the
highest evidence that the People are about
to take matters into their own hands and
give anew direction to public affairs. It
assures us of the bright prospect ahead,
when the country will be relieved from the
misrule of the demagogues and tricksters
who have contributed so much to produce
the present crisis in our affairs. It inspires
us with uisc and higher hopes of success,
and with increased energy to strike <in |
strike ever for victory—to move forward,
with renewed zeal, to the accomplishment
of the great and good work of hurling
from power and place the men who have
betrayed their country and defrauded the
people, the conspirators who have shown
themselves capable of sacrificing the gov
ernment and our glorious institutions for
place and pelf.
Our banner bears the honored names of
Or. ant and Coi.fax. Let true Republicans
go to work, determined to do their duty,
their whole duty, and nothing but their
duty to the country. We feel confident
that a large majority of the people of
Georgia prefer to see Grant elected to any
other man; and all that is necessary to
secure his triumph is to induce them to
cast their votes for the man they prefer.
Let us then resolve that this shall be done,
and let every man go to work to do it, and
‘victory is certain to perch on our noble
banner. It is the banner of Constitution
and Union—the banner of the honest
hearted American patriots, who are re
solved to defeat the spoilsmen who arc
“held together by the cohesive properties
of the public plunder." This is our banner
-the banner of the People. On the broad
platform of Republicanism our Presidential
nominee stands, promising equal rights to
all, promising perpetuity and increasing
lustre to our land. *
Get a Farm and Go to Work. All
over the State property holders have en
deavored to compel their employees to vote
a they dictated, and it is quite probable
tliut similar attempts will be made in the
future. Numbers of men have been dis.
charged for voting, and others are living
in daily fear of being discharged. Col
ored people should know that so long as
they are dependent upon those who do not
sympathize with them, so long will they be
“knocked about from pillar to post." If
they would become independent, they
must become their own employers. We see
that quite a number have opened little
“stores." and eke out a precarious living in
that way, but they seldom do well. They
should get farms of their own, and go to
cultivating the soil. Land does not cost
much, now, and everything that a man
raises can be sold. Get a farm, go to work
upon it, work with a will, and success is
certain. Those who now order you to vote
a- they say, will soon conic and rrquent you
to support their candidate. The employee
is dependent upon his employer; the
merchant is dependent upon the public;
the industrious farmer is dependent, only,
upon God. Get a farm and go to work.
“Colored Conservative Cutis." This
is the newest wrinkle. The new convert to
Democratic doctrine, up street next to the
Gas office, is concerned about the welfare
of the colored “man and brother.” He
aaitli:
“Means ought now to I e taken to give
him correct inlormation and to teach him
where his true interest lays. In South Caro
lina and other Southern States colored
Conservative Clubs have been formed, and
:nnnibcrs of the negroes are joining. With
a little pains and trouble similar ones may
be got up here, and, before another election,
Conservatives will be able to control the
aiegro vote.”
Yes, m'in that’s the •‘chisel.” Colored
Conservative Clubs. For the fun of the
thing, we would like to sec the aforesaid
editor going to a Conservative Club ofcol-
NT cd voters, and watch him dodging around
lest some “cussed” Radical might see him
and hear him unfold his “pains and
trouble, to show them w here the interests
«>f the Conservative “niggers” lay. Twould
lie right amusing.
It is currently reported, we mav add.
that means have been employed, and cor
rect information ha* been gi v , „ them, and
the colored men have shown that, although
considered beasts of burden by the “so
called,” they are competent to look after
their interest in that they voted to retain
their freedom, and put those on guard who
had, in times of trial prored to be their
“best friends.” *
What’h tiik .Matt Kit -In tln-Hicoml
(.‘ungrcwuonal District in this State, which
has it dear registered majority of
colored over while voters, the Democrats
have elected Nelson Tift to Congress By
some two thousand majority. After all
the Opposition blowing and denunciation
of “nigger” suffrage, Mr. Tift must have
received the suffrage of live thousand
“niggers.” The fact of the negroes voting
is not what really troubles the Democracy
but the ticket they vote. That's what's
the matter. *
Premature Rejokt.no. —In some |>or
tions of the country “one hundred guns' 1
were fired in honor of the vote on the
Eleventh Article, bv which the President
was acquitted.
Hold up, gentlemen. It is by no moans
certain yet that President Johnson will
not he convicted. Hut if he should not
be, lie is utterly powerless, lie can not
prevent the return of the .States seeking
admission. Once in. they will add twenty
thoroughly loyal Senators, and titty thor
oughly loyal members of the House, to the
Republican majorities in the two bodies.
Any overt act on the part of the President
to prevent the return of this ■ States would
lend to his re-impcnchment and immediate
conviction, lie knows this, and will net
with more caution and more respect for the
law in future.

Webster Keit di vi i.u.— The teord'Dem
ocrat.’ —Noah Webster was not only the
best lexicographer of the English language,
but lie was a straight out, old-fashioned
Connecticut Democrat. He defines—as you
will sec by consulting bis Dictionary—a
‘Democrat’to be “one who favors the ex
tension of the right of suffrage to all classes
of men.” But some of our friends tell us
that politics have changed since Webster’s
time, and that he did not regard Negroes
as men. By referring to his DicMouary,
however, we find that he defines a Negro
to be “one belonging to the black race of
Men.” . *
Tiie lUnkritt Lvw. It may not be
known to some of our readers that what is
called the fifty per cent, clause ot this act
takes effect on the Ist of June next: that
after that date no one can take the benefit
of the act whose estate will not pay fifty
per cent, to his creditors. The adjourn
ment of Congress, and the present state of
the impeachment question, renders it less
likely that any extension of this time will
be given by Congress. It therefore becomes
those who intend to petition for adjudica
tion of Bankruptcy to apply in aeasou.
Heavv. —The over-moral conductors of
the Macon Journil <(• Messmjer are “catch
ieg it” all around. The last castigation,
very well administered, is from tli" Savannah
Republican, in consequence of the former
virtuous journal declining to advertise Miss
McCulloch's Parlor Opera entertainmentsou
the score of “immorality.” Hid you ever!
Over this way, all the newspapers, including
the self-styled “respectable’’ oiks, as well a?
the “obscene Northern paper published in
Augusta” (as the Athenian sprig of chiv
alry, who ventilates through llie ./. A M.,
facetiously designates «»). not only published
the Opera advertisements, hut seemed to vie
with each other in expressions of commend
ation of the “immoral entertainments.” Our
classic, liberal-minded, excessively pious
Macon cotcnipnrary, lurnislies another re
markable instance ol “straining at a gate
and swallowing n in-" Ting house.”
Then and Now. -Time works wonders.
In the Chronicle of yesterday, we find an
editorial endorsement of Wendell Phillips*
view's, against the religious intolerance
towards Roman Catholics, by a mail who,
in the Know Nothing crusade, made him
self famous (or infamous) by his violent
harangues against foreigners and the
Church of Koine. That's right.
Making Mouths.-— MasterKan.-c, coutiu
lies to indulge in the juvenile recreation of
making mouths at the Commander of the
Third Military District. Master Kansi calls
General Meade a Lord Lieutenant.” and
the District a “satrapy." Master Hansc is
a bad boy, and stubborn as a mule.
Curious. To see such “old line Whigs'

EXTRACT
From the letter of the Atlanta corres
pondent of the Washington Chronicle, of
the 18th inst.:
PKBKO.X u. iN -• t:< i it if r.
There are quito a number ol Uiqiublican
member* elect who have taken reitio,;
here since election to the Legislature, to
escape the fate of poor Ashlmrn. Those
who do remain at homo in the more violent
portions of the State, sic p a.i their father;-;
did when the red man infested the conn
try—with weapons in tiu-ir liauds. I nm
aware that the Democratic press, North and
South, denv this charge. However, if the
intelligent readers ol the Chronicle will
reflect a moment, 1 will demonstrate its
truth. It. is not alleged that llie leading,
influential citizens would in their own per
sons commit violence It is their intoler
ance and violence of minim r toward those
who differ from them, which make life
unsafe her . For instance, these highly
respectable Dem tci-.it ; say that every man
who voted lor Bullock “first obtained iti.x
own consent to become n thief/* Thou
there i.s u cl.Vs* ol pe *pl«: hi the South whose
highest ambition is to Im the j»tcm.fsoi* of
a of tobacco, a bottle of whisk 1 y, and
a ‘iix shooter. With these they are ready
to exterminate all outspoken Union ueoi.
It is hecausc tln.Bc lawless chaiacDi art
encouraged and su.st tined hy the chivalry
that no prominent m n\s life is s ilc unless
he bends the knee to tin* Democratic Ra il.
'Fhe country is already familiar with the
cruel and cowardly assassination of Gtdouxd
G. W. Ashburn. I believe that man would
have been alive to day had it. not been for
the action of the landlord of the Derry
House at Columbus. Ashhurn was a quiet,
orderly, sober, intelligent, cleanly man, who
always paid his bills. Vet lor hi > radical
ism he was turned out ol the hotel. When
the rowdies saw the lending citizens ap
pluuding this kind o! proscription, they
naturally supposed they could kill Colonel
A - with impunity, and they did it.
A DKMOCRATK' (IAMB THAI' DIDN'T PAY-
Immediately after the election iho Dem
ocrats inaugurated die policy of discharging
all their colored employees licit voted the
Republican ticket. No sooner did Hon,
Foster Blodgett, Mayor of Aligned, hocumo
aware of the fact than he boldly announced
his determination to feed nil such prescribed
persons at the public expense, mid raise
the means for so doing by luvying a special
tax on the properly of the wealthier citizens.
Il was also given out that Iho Legislature,
when it assembled, would adopt Blodgett’s
policy. General Can by at onite adopted the
same policy for North and South Carolina.
The result is, the Democrats have abandon
ed this species of proscription. For his
sngseity, courage, and promptness on all
occasions, the Rcnuhlicnns delight Pi call
Mr. Blodgett the "Napoleon of the purty” in
Georgia. There is no doubt about his
election, and that of lion. Joseph K. Brown,

THAT COSVENTI ON.
Mr. Editor: They aro marshaling their
host*—the “rulo or ruin” Ku K Invites. It
seems to be a foregone conclusion that they
aro to have n Convention of somo sort. The
object is avowed : To intimidate and influence
the Legislature. The plan is laid u la the
"blowhnrd’s” tactics; but tbo result: ah 1
what'll it be ? Similar to the “all respectable
preaent” open ticket game, sought to ho
practiced at the Constitutional election.
Verily, one is reminded of an order impe
riously given to a regiment Oil dress parade
at an “order arms: close order—march I”
Wonder il any tree in Virginia heard that
soldierly command —and was it obeyed ? eh ?
Selali 1
The Convention must be permitted to
assemble, and Dr, Bard’s suggestion adopted.
The President must como from this county ;
the accustomed speech may relieve the gent.
The Convention's influence upon Legislators
elect, need not he feared ; uu n who faced
the music, in the recent contest, will not be
intimidated, hut they will work openly and
bravely and unitedly lor the good of the
people. Advocates of truth and peace, good
government and prosperity, have no reason
to entertain fears. Men, unprim iplod, selfish,
designing men —office seekers they have
always been—will deride, hut Irulli will
prevail. Legislators have but to stand, as 1
believe they will, firmly by the right, and the
victory will be more glorious than at first
anticipated.
When the Legislature is convened to act
on the XlVtli Article, il can not do more
wisely than to proceed to adopt it without
debate. The adoption of that article is a
,u'nr ijn r non, up to speak, ol Georgia's ad
mission into the Union. He appreciate the
necessity of it. Silent, unanimous action,
will speak in golden language lor ns.
It was Hon. Foster Blodgett, in his speech
before the Georgia Constitutional Conven
tion, who, in referring to a particular .subject,
said : “Devise liberally, gentlemen.” Men
should be liberal in their views, and their
general policy should he non-dcscriptive ;
but circumstances alter eases. The XlVtli
Article disfranchises many good nu n in this
State, to obtain the removal of whose disa
bilities an honest effort should he made.
There are others—llio rancid blow-hards—
who, for the good of the State, should forever
remain under the ban. So mote it be-

for tiio construction of a Government tele
