RUFUS B. BULLOCK,
Elect of the State of Georgia.
Augusta, Ga., June 25, 1868.
Augusta, Savannah, Atlanta, Mtreon,
Columbus, and Milledgeville papers will
publish till day and send bills to National
Republican- Office.
THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
Tile difficulties of the Democracy in
relation to the platform to be adopted by
their Convention on the 4th instant, are
quite as serious as their dilemma about ft
candidate. They have to adopt a platform
which will harmonize discordant elements
among which harmony is impossible. If
they declare against the payment of the
national debt in the manner it was prom
ised to lie paid, they alienate the Demo
cratic creditors of the Government. The
idea seems to prevail among their lenders
that all the wealth is with the Republican
party, and the poverty in theirs, therefore
"that repudiation will always bo popular
with their rank and file and will hurt
nobody but Republicans; but they will
find where they undertake to cheat the
public creditor, that many of their own
magnates arc interested in maintaining the
credit of the Government, mid will repu
diate the repudiators. Democratic bond
holders tire not likely to contribute very
liberally to the success of a party which
seeks to destroy their wealth. So, on the
plank of repudiation, inserted in their
platform to suit the Western repudiator,
they will alienate the Eastern capitalist.
Again, jf they dpclnre themselves in
favor of undoing all the work of recon
struction for. the purpose of doing it over
again according to their own notions, it is
hard to believe that there will be, found
mailmen enough to iSakc a decent show
of numbers, even in their own j .pmXy l -'tflio
will wish to renew aW-Tfie turmoil and
confujgov. xIT the last few years. It is
'fiiffieult to believe that there exists any
manor party’bo insane as to wish to go
out of the Union again, for the sake of
coming back in some other way. If they
declare against negro suffrage, they will
destroy the prospects of many of their
adherents at the South, who hope to so
manipulate the colored voter as to make
him the instrument of their own return
to power. Deeply as 'they pretend to
grieve over giving of the right to vote to
the negro—loudly as they abuse the Re
publican party —it is pretty evident that
the leaders are sanguine of their ability to
convert negro suffrage to their own benefit,
and in their hearts would not have the
situation otherwise than it is. They only
keep up their hypocritical pretenses for
the purpose of deceiving their unreasona
ble and short sighted followers.
We are curious to see bow the New
York Fourth of July Convention is going
to manage to reconcile all the different
interests, and reconcile their discordant
factions, and shall look with great interest
for the publication of their platform-
Doubtless, it will be an interesting speci
men of political carpentry. Heretofore
they have had some old planks with which
to pice? out their platforms and which
have done duty in all such structures.
But it is hard tn conceive that any of
this old material can l»e made of use
in the present juncture. They are worn
out. It is of no use to denounce Aboli
tionism, or declare their admiration of the
fugitive slave law, or to declare war upon
the lienks. or to make those nice distinc
tions between a tariff for revenue and one
for protection. Time and" circumstances
have disposed of these questions, and they
are not available as parte of a new build
ing. But the artizans who are to build the
structure are skilful and experienced, and
we may expect from their hands an admi
rable spev imen of political mosaic, which,
iiffwever incongruous the material, may be
sufficient to cheat their nuMes, who care
very little for platforms, so they help their
leaders to pocket the spoils.

Masonic.—We have heard of several
instances lately in which Freemasons in
good standing in their Lodges, and against
whom nothing can be alleged except their
politics, being Republicans, have been
debarred from their Masonic rights, and
even requested to resign their connection
with the Order. As soon as we can have
access to certain books containing Masonic
revelations wc intend to publish the oaths
taken in the various degrees, to show how
much Masons arc falsifying their obliga

Memorandum. —There are many men of
Seccsh proclivities who are to-day more
malignant and implacable than ever—most
of them, by the way, men who did very
little fighting for the ideas to which they
still profess devotion, and who illustrated
the old saying, “After a civil war it is
always difficult to restrain the fury of the
non combatants.' These men, whether at
the South or at the North, will vote the
Democratic ticket.
True. Some disunion paper says it is
a startling fact that the national debt is
steadily increasing, and says it is “a matter
which should arrest the attention of the
people.” Very true; and as that staunch
democrat, Mr. Mr Ut i.i.ocn, and the rene
gade President Johnson are responsible
tor the fact, the people will give their
attention to the matter in November by
sectfring a Republican administration. *
GEN. GRANT J,S' A STATESMAN.
There are many politicians and some
newspapers of the Democratic school who
affect to believe that General Grunt is not
only destitute of military skill, and of all the
qualities which make great captains, but
that really he is no statesman, ami he will
boa failure in the management of civil
affairs.
Os course the purpose of all thii is under
stood. In belittling General Grant they
hope to defeat the party which has placed
him in nomination and thus get themselves
into power. The same sort of warfare was
resorted to in the days of General Jackson
and General Taylor, and with what success
is now fully seen. The weapons Os the war
fare then and now are the same, and they
will alike fail. The fact is, the gift of gab,
the faculty of speech-milking, what is known
as mere learning or book knowledge are
vastly overrated. It is your men of strong
sense, men capable of grasping great princi
ples and true ideas and of applying them ;
men who can forecast in respect to future
issues and see the workings of a beneficent
Providence in remodeling old institutions
and in putting an end to those which should
go down before an advancing civilization,
that become the leaders of the hour and day.
These are our statesmen, bnt the work of
conserving what is wrong and what ought to
pass away is left to mere demagogues, your
Seymours, your Pendletons, and men of that
ilk.
Early in the war, and before even Mr.
Lincoln issued his emancipation proclama
tion, General Grant saw that there could
be no permanent peace in this country
while slavery existed, as will be seen by
the following letter addressed to Hon. E. B.
Washburne :
VitKSßuna, Miss , August 30, 1862.
Drab Sib : Tho people need not quarrel over
the institution of slavery. What Vice President
Stephens acknowledges as tho corner stone of the
Confederacy is already knocked out. Slavery is
already dead, and can not be resurrected. It
would take a standing a-my to maintain slavery
in the South if we were to make peace to-day,
guaranteeing le the Seat! al! their former privil
eges. I never was an Abolitionist—not oven
what could Ito called anti-slavery—but I try to
judge fairly and honestly, and it became patent
to my mind early in the rebellion (bat the North
and South could never live in peace with each
other except as or.o nation, and that without
slavery. As anxious as lam to see peaeo estab
lished, I would not therefore bo willing to tea
any settlement until this question is sytteiY'
Your sincere friead, U. S.AGbast
The above is the utterance of a statesman,
mid it will be borne in mind this letter was
written at an early day, when multitudes of
Democrats were loudly vociferating that it
was not lhe purpose>e4-llie war to abolish
slavery. (IciuwwlrG/ant saw what was right
.imaa! what fiflght to be done, and, stat< suian
like, avowed his principles, like a far-seeing
and true man, as he is.
When, after this, Mr. Lincoln ime I that
proclamation which mini.- him immortal, be
invoked in its favor “the considerate judg
ment of mankind, and the blissing of
Almighty God.” We can ask the same in
favor of this letter cf General Grant. It
places him, if he had done nothing more, in
the front rank of American statesmen. lie
had that sagacity and that clearness ol
vision to see what was right and also the
courage to avow his principles.
Take another fact: General Grant served
for a time in the civil capacity of Secretary
of War, mid during that time, President
Johnson .-.ent a message to Congress in which
he declared “that great reduction of expenses
hud been effected under bis administration
of the War Department to the saving of
millions of dollars to the Treasury.’ - Does
not this show statesmanship and capacity?—
