Moro anon. * 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 tions were rightly made. Be it, therefore, Resolved, That we heartily endorse tlie 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 from all monos all parties who are worn down with the past V:ight years of strife, who now hope for pauce, ami who may have hopes of the future lor tlremselvcs and their prosperity. Resolvca, That wc hereby appoint the Hons. James 11. McWhorter and James Cunningham as delegates to the Nomi nating Convention to be held on th? lirth day of August next, at Atlanta, and also authorize and empower them to act ns. delegates to a Congressional Nominating Convention for the, Fifth District, if held in Atlanta. After the passago oi these resolutions, an address was delivered by a true aixl tried 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 occasion, who signally failed,ns is usual with such people.P,ut Oglethorpe county down fur Grant and Colfax—the Union and the rights of the people. R. P. 8. —The New Era aud American Union will please copy, 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 i rrevocable fact, and separation is perfect, complete, and perpetual."— publican. —Advices from Warsaw,Poland, inentions that a secret decree has recently been given,"' forbidding the Authorities to grant pass ports to any young men between the ages of ten and twenty-five years, in order to pre vent them escaping the mSitary conscrip tion.

N. Palmer, Republican candi date for Governor of Illinois, will enter At once on an active canvass of-that State. Frank Blair was nominated by tho Demo crats to draw Republican votes. Vou might as well use u shadow to draw a blister. The Copperheads have u great spite against General Grant because he reduced the Democratic vote about a quarter of a million by destroying that number of rebels during the war. It is confidently stated that General John A. Dix, now American Minister to Paris, is one of the thousands of War Democrats who, in refusing to support Seymour and Blair, will heartily sustain Grant and Collax. - ' Admiral Semmes hrs made a speech in favor ot Seymour and Blair. He hopes to command a flotilla of gunboats, which will proceed tv New Orleans and “disperse the carpet-bag State Government” in that city. Mr. Hendricks said, in the Senate, the other day, that be had intended to show the Democratic platform was so plain, distinct and direct, that nobody could misunderstand its meaning ; “but, sir,” he continued, “it would likely take more thno than I am able to occupy.” This is the way a Massachusetts Republi can wriggled out of a difficulty: "You couLJn’t elect an angel of light, on such a pint for in as that,” quoth the Republican to a rabid Democrat. “Couldn’t 7” wm the reply ; “why, I'd vote for an angel of light on any platform. - ' "Oh, that’s not the diffi cully/’ responded the Republican, “an angel of light wouldn't stand on II; that's whirt/s tlie mattwP' * • • . :—z— - * —»-*ir ln Paraguay tha service of woman is made auxiliary to man.
