THE ISSUE.
f When the Democratic party constructed
and enunciated their platform, it was
thought that Wie financial issue was to be,
on their part, the rallying cry of the cam
paign. It, in now evident that this subject
is entirely subordinated to the one leading
issue, the overthrow of the .reconstruction
work of Congress, or if need be, to effect
thia purpose, the overthrow of the Govern
ment itself in favor of rcltel and copper
head rule.
Frank Blair announced iu his Broad
head letter the real purpose, the one single
aim of the party. Mr. Blair says:
There is but one way to restore the Govern
ment and the Constitution, and that is for the
President elect to declare there Acts null and
void, compel tho army to undo its usurpations,
disperse the carpet bag State Governments,
allow the white people to organize their own
Government’, and elect Senators and Repre
tientativez. * * * * * *.
Again, he says:
I repeat that this isthe real and only question
which wo should allow to control us : Shall we
submit to the usurpations by which the Govern
ment has been overthrown, or shall we exert
ourselves for its full and complete restoration?
It is idle to tajk of bonds, greenbacks, gold, the
public faith, and the public credit.
If we look to what is going on iu the.
South, we see that (his is the only issue
which they- the unrepentant rebels—think
about or talk about. Their newspapers
and their orators talk of the overthrow/ of
the newly reconstructed States, ami nothing
else; and their people are jubilant over
the idea that the election of Blair and
Seymoub saves to them what they have
been accustomed to look upon ns “the lost
cause.”
We copy the following from the Augusta
(Ga.) Chronicle. In a leading editorial/
that paper says:
These ‘mongrel things' are to be wiped out,
and constitutional governments arc to bo ro
established again in the ten Southern Stater, It
is, therefore, the duty of every man who loves
bis State and his race -who loves liberty and the
government of law and order—to wor). manfully
and harmoniously with his fellow citizens against
all Influences and movements intended to Secure
the consent of the people to the present illegal
and fraudulent .State Governments. Let US pro
test against them and work against them, and
frown down any and every one, no matter what
his influence or station in the past, who advo
cates the establishment of mongrel governments
and mongrel equality in the Sou h. Kailical re
, construction moans this, and that i.t is a wretched
i expediency, and a Wickoil, sinful policy, which
urges the acceptance of this condition of affairs.
It is that policy which would rectifies every
thing hero and hereafter for the sake of tempo
rary expediency. The great mass of eur people
repudiate it. Their bands and their consciences
are clear of the abomination.
There you have it plain antiflat. Seven
of the whilom Confederate States have
made constitutions in accordance with the
laws of Congress constitutions which are
in harmony with the Constitution of the
United ‘States. Their State governments
arc now organized and are in working
order; their Senators and Representatives
have* been admitted into Congress. All
this is to be overturned; these .govern
meats*dispersed by the military, and the
Senate, which may be Republican, compelled
to acquiesce in these violent proceedings.
, This is the one issue of the campaign, and
• if Seymour and Blair lie elected, it is to
be carried out.
i Mr. Robert Toombs, who once threat-
> cned to call the roll of his slaves at the
1 foot of Bunker Hill Monument, has re
cently made a speech at Atlanta, Georgia.
His speech is published in the papers.
This rebel announced with his usual
flourish that “this shall lie a white man’s
government,” and he said that lie hailed
the nomination of Seymour as tlie deliber
ate assertion of that principle by the
Democratic party. He says that the pltit-
. form laid down in New Y'ork is an
arraignment at the liar of the whole world
of the Republican party, whose acts for
the last six years have shamed human
nature itself, ami violated every principle
of virtue and truth. This is what might
be expected from such a wind-bag ns
Toombs , but his words are in full liar
mony with the current of Democratic
sentiment, lx>th North and South. Toombs
enunciates tlw issue as follows:
these people call recount ruction mepsures are
null nnd tviil, and not law.” He moreover
calls upon the people of the Smith “to
resist them to the death."
It is aloaein toe South that tills spirit is
manifest. The Northern copperheads arc
equally rampant and violent in their
notions, though perhaps more cautious in
stating them. Still there are many who
talk flippantly, and some boldly, of re
pudiating all the Republicans have done
in the way of reconstruction. The recent
harangue of Mr. HkSDRICKs in the Senate
is a clear indication of what the copper
head Democracy will do should they
, obtain power. Our city cotemporarics
have already announced that they “ ap-
> prove Blair's letter—every word of it.”
The Democratic platform means just
what these Southern reliefs in (he party
say it means—nothing less, nothing more.
and Isefoie the campaign commences in
earnest, all the stump orators atld all the
newspapers in tltc party will be forced to
take this position.
Elett Sbwour and Blair.and carry
out and apply this doctrine, aqd the war
will hav» been fought in vain. Every life
given up for the cause and in behalf of
American liberty Will have been sacrificed
for naught, and every dollar of treasure
will have been squandered to no pur
pose. . *' |
GRANT AND CODFAX MEETING IN
OGLETHORPE.
Lexington, Ga., July 28, 1868.
A large and antbasiaetic meeting of the
Union Republican party of Ogletliorpc
•county was held this day.
Upon motion of J. F. Cunningham, Esq.»
Dr. F. J. Robinson was called to the chair.
The object of the meeting was explained
by the Chairman, and the following resolu
tion* were introduced, read and unani
mously passed —to wit:
Whereas, The Union Republican Con
vention which met at Chicago, 111., on the
20th day of May, 1868, then and there
nominated for candidates for President and
Vice President of the United States Gen.
Ulysses S. Grant ami lion. Schuyler Colfax ;
and whereas, We believe that said nomina

nomination of Grant and Colfax, aud
pledge ourselves to vole for and use every
honorable means possible to secure their
election-.
Resolved, That in no other way do wc
conceive it to be possible to secure the
peace and welfare of the country ; and we
have an abiding faith in the principles o>
the Republietm party, which will be fttith
fully executed by these men.
Retohcd, That wc invite coOperation

who now hope for pauce, ami who may

and their prosperity.

friend of the Unioa Republican party, from
Athens, which was received with enthusiasm*
■Cheers for Grant and Colfax were fre
quently uttered, and the meeting evidenced
a determination on the part of those present
to “stand by their colors,” and vote for their
only trui fricndn. The “jtwwJieads” put
forth a few brainless catspuws to endeavor
to insult and annoy the speakers Cm the

REMINISCENCES *OF THE OLD
MASTERS.
The Democratic platform and the Demo
cratic candidates take the btoad ground that
the Acts of Reconstruction are “null and
void,” and that they will be overturned, if
Seymour and Blair are elected. General
Blair invokes force against them, and hrs
appeal is reechoed by all the rebel papers
and pcditioians. The’ effect, if this plan
could succeed without war, which is simply
impossible, would be to leave the insurgent’
States almost p-ecisely as they were before
secession. It w,H serve a good purpose to.
show how the Government of the United
States was regarded during the war by those
who now arrogantly dtfmand that they shall
be restored to all the franchisor! tiny had
under it in 1860.
In January, 1863, Jefferson Davis said,
in a speech at Richmond, as reported in the
Richmond Enquirer of January 7 of that
year: ■
You fight the offscourings us the carto. If the
question wore proposed to you whether you w«uld
combine with hyenas or Yankees, I trust every
Virginian would say, “give mo tlie hyCiis.”
(Crio« of “good,” “good,” and applause.)
Comment.— Recollect there were no
‘‘carpet baggers” in the South when the
gentle Jeff, med these words, ami that
Seymour & Co. were in hearty Sympathy
with the rebellion at tiiat time.
The Richmond ISspateh, of the lOtlj of
January, 1863, used this language :
Wo worn the Democrats and Conservatives of
the North to. dismiss from their nrinds at onco
the miserable delusion rljat thy South ean ever
consent to enter again, upon any terms, tho old
Union. If tho North will allow us to write the
Coastitution ourselves, and give ue every
guarantee We would ask, we would ,sooner be
under the govWnmenb-of England or France
than under n tlnion with men who have shown
that they cannot act in good faith, and arc |tu>
most barbarous and inhuman, asr well as ths
most treacherous of mankind.
Comment. —Recollect this was before “Re
construction” was ever dreamed of) and
when peace, on almost any terms, would
have been figreed to by the North.
The. New Demcfeials, having
proposed that “if the South will come badk
into the Union, the Democracy of the North
-will do all in their power to gain for them
(the Strotoern States) jsuch guaranties at.
will secure . their safety,” the Rich mom!
Sentinel at the same time declared:
Do the New Hampshire Detoocrats reason for
one moment that wo would so much i.s think of
reunion with such a people ? Rather tail one to
be wedded to a corpse ! Rather join? hands with
a fiend from the pit.
Even the meek and sainted A. 11. Ste
phens declared, July 23, 1863, in a -speech
at Charleston, S. C., after the batides of
Gettysburg and Vicksburg i , *
As for reconstruction, such a thing w;ta impas
sible—such an idea must not be tolerated for a
moment. The terme yu whieK kc can obtain
permanent ptace ie final and complete reparation
from the North. Rathet than submit to anything
short of that, let us all resolve to die like men
worthy of freedom.
Comment. —But haviug been conquered
iu honorable battle, Mr. Stephens now pro
poses not only to come back against the laws
of the conquerors, but to take command of
the Government Itself!
On the 17th of August following, Robert
Toombs, of Georgia, said, in a letter dated
Washington, Georgia:
I can conceive of no extremity to which my.
country could be reduced in which I would, fbr
a single moment, entertain any proposition for
any union with the North oa. any terms what
ever. When aM else is tost, I propose to unite
with tho thousands of my own countrymen who
have feu nd honoralde deaths, if nut graves, on
the battle field.
This is the same gentleman who, uu fee
10th of Juue, at Atlanta, Georgia, endorsed
the nominations of Seymour and Blair,
“because he knew tfrem in the past, and
was willing to trust them in flic future.
Radicalism, the yrcatest criminal the world
ever saw, is now on tri d before the grand
inquest of (he Democratic qtart<j: >
Howell Cobb, the associate of Toombs,
and President,of the Rebel Congress, and
all through the war a violent agitator, is tlie
until or of too decUrrtion, as early as the Uh
of June, 1861, that “secession is a fixed and

sentatives whose counties are to be affected
thereby, which was adopted.
Mr. Matthews offered a resolution request
ing the Governor to order elections in Irwin
and Telfair counties for members of the
Legislature and eounty officers.
Mr. Turnipseed offered the following sub
stitute for Mr. Matthews’ resolution :
Whereas, It appears that the counties of
Irwin and Telfair have no representation in
this body; and whereas, the fact further
appears that the State of Georgia has been
admitted into the Union, leaving out the two
said counties of Irwin and Telfair ; be it,
therefore,
Resolved, That some certain and speedy
measures be immediately taken to have
civil government established in the said
counties, and that the same be admitted
into the union of the counties of this State
upon the conditions precedent that they
send up representatives to this body of
Union Republican proclivities.
Original and substitute referred to the ‘
Judiciary.
