The present Presidential campaign in

of the country. The people of Georgia arc
deeply interested in tltc result, and will
therefore, look forward to the developments
of the campaign with increasing interest.
The dissemination of reliable news, nnd of
sound constitutional views on the'important

of the Republican parly.
To supply in a measure this need, we will

We appeal to the old supporters of the
Republican to aid us in extending its

neither labor nor expense iu making The

Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, late
of the Confederate service, declared at the
New York ratification meeting :
We can have no relief unless this great Demo
cratic party will come out and pledge itself that
we shall have a fair election—that the white peo
ple of the South shall vote ; and I want you all
to register an oath that when they do vote that
these votes shall be counted, and if there is a
minority of white votes, that you will place
Bktmocr and Blair in the White House in spite
of all the bayonets that shall be brought against
them.
Bi.aib, iu his letter to Broadkead, says
we must have a President who will declare
the reconstruction measures of Congress
null and void, and compel the army to
break up and disperse the State govern
ments and trample the reconstruction acts
in the dust.
Who can fail to see the unmistakable
foreshadowing of another rebellion, if the
Democracy should succeed, by-the aid of
Johnson’s amnestied rebel voters in the
South, to secure a majority of the electoral
votes for Seymour and Blair. The loyal
masses have one more victory to win over
rebels nnd traitors to render permanent the
undying principles of justice, liberty nnd
equaltoy, anti secure peace, unity and
prosperity to the Republic, nnd that
victory is to be won at the polls next
November. See to it, ye loyal and true
men throughout the land, that treason
meets with a Waterloo defeat nt the
coming election.

Is It Worth While? —Even some of
the bitterest copperhead journals, like the
Day Book and the Wert and South, see that
inflation is ruination. The latter asserts
the truism that inflation of the currency is
’ at tlie expense of its value, and pointedly
i asks:
Resting upon this admitted truth, we
ask, is it right and proper to disturb three
dollars’ worth of private wealth with a
view to adjusting one dollar’s worth of a
financial problem 1 Why, for the purpose
of paying $2,000,000,000 of a public debt,
disturb the pecuniary relations of $7,000,-
000,000 of a private indebtedness, and carry
mischief into $6,000,000,000 of tnc annual
transactions of trade ?
Let every voter who does not wish to
' see “ chaos come again,’’ ponder well these
questions, and put their proper solution
beyond u doubt by voting against the
party that entertains ideas of inflation,
repudiation, nullification and revolution.

The Macon Telegraph relates how a circle

the following singular communication from

Stonewall Jackson :

WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Business before Congress—More Legislation
Needed to Protect Union Men—Johnson’s Apos
lacy-—Hots it wan. Brought About —Probable
Course of the President—Effect of More Legisla
tion.
Washington, D. C., July 25, 1868.
The time fixed upon by both houses of
Congress to take a “recess” will be reached
to-morrow, and I regret to say there?is little
probability of the resolution being recon
sidered, notwithstanding the vast amount of
important business still on hand which
should be acted upon before the members
separate. Ido not believe in the policy
advanced by some Congressmen and prac
ticed by Others of tempting a man to do
wrong. Courts and juries always take the
fact of unusually strong temptation to com
mit crime as a mitigating circumstance.
No man can be hold entirely blameless who
intentionally or recklessly tempts another
to do wrong. The office of President is one
of the most dangerous that can be imagined
for a weak minded man or one of tinsel tied
principles. It lias often been said, and I
believe the remark pertinent, that the Re
publican party is not entirely guiltless of
Andrew Johnson’s apostacy ; had they upon
his first assuming the functions of Chief
Magistrate as Executive officer of the nation
surrounded him by a cordon of friends in
sympathy with the great progressive party
of the day, he never would have gone
astray. Chagrined and mortified at his.
unfortunate condition on inauguration day,
all the great leaders of the party, centered
at the capito), shamed and avoided him
from that time forward until he had com
mitted himself,'and when they did attempt
to repair former neglect and indifference it
was then too late. Mr. Johnson, it is true,
is opinionated to a degree not generally
believed and cannot be controlled by force.
This can only bo done through the art
diplomatic when lie is as tractable and
as easily managed as a child, for* he
belongs to that order of mankind who
like it to be thought they have their own
way. In 1865, the rebelleaders got the start
of the Union men in this respect, and they
have made Mr. Johnson, without his fully
realizing the fact, do their bidding ever since.
It is well known that, notwithstanding the
many political positions held by Mr. Johnson
in his native State, he never occupied the
high social plane, and intuitively, like a
majority of the “poor whites” South, looked
up to the slave aristocracy as a higher order
of beings. When these men, isolated as he
was at the time by hi* own infirmities, in
1865, came fawning around him, and humbly
asking for pardon, and representing that ho
could boa saviour for the South, his vanity
and pride were both gratified, and the imme
diate result was his 22d of February speech,
in rear of the White Hcuse. Once the false
step taken, there was no possibility for him
to switch off. Recrimination between the
President and leading members of Congress
was the order ol the day, and the breach
widened until, practically, Mr. Johnson has
superseded Jeff’. Davis as leader of the rebel
hosts, and should another civil war break
forth from the issues now pending, he would
seek to be the leader of the new rebellion.
In view of the facts, I think it a mistake to
tempt such a man tc wallow deeper in the
mire of infamy, by Congress taking a recess
and leaving important measures, of vital
interest to the Union people of.the South
particularly, for him to veto or render inoper
ative by a strained construction. There is,
for instance, the military bill, which has yet
to go back to the Senate, to consider arnonj
ments made in the House, before it can go
to the President, who has already setni
ofli ially announced that he will keep the
bill the whole time allowed him by law—ten
days. It is well known that ho will veto
the bill if time is afforded ; for the section
giving arms to loyal militia in the rehabili
tated Southern States, if carried into effect,
would be u death blow to all his own and
rebel predictions as to the stability of the
new governments, aud a certain guarantee
of peace and good order which has been
prophesied by the whole rebel Democracy
could not be the result of reconstruction
under the Congressional plan. Without
these arms some of ths Southern States, at
least, will be at the mercy of’tlie mob at the
first provocation. The military force is
being withdrawn ns rapidly as possible, 'and
the President can order every United States
soldier out of Georgia, for instance, any
day ; and who does not know- that lie would
like to see the Union men there driven ont ?
Then there are three States—Mississippi,
Texas, and Virginia—almost without any
protection whatever, and the bills for th--
relief of these States will certainly be vetoed,
even if passed to morrow. There are prom
inent Uuion men here to-day from these
States who dare not return without further
protection from Congress to enable them to
defend themselves. The wive*, of several
delegates here have written, begging to be
removed North. “Our children are threat
ened and hooted in the streets daily, aud we
are warned to-leave and you are warned not
to return,” is the burthen of these letters.
Even as near the sent ot Government Its
Lynchburg, Va., this fooling is made mauv
fest.
Some people, over anxious to impeach
the President, are willing to tempt him to do
further wrong that his removal may be
secured beyond till peradventure. It re
quires no new outrage for this to be success
ful, tor impeachment article* have already
been presented, aud everybody here know*
that almost every new member of Congress
is in fnvor of impeachment ; so that in the
Senate, should n new trial take place, there
could be no. doubt as to' the result. A
majority of the Congressmen seem to be
thoroughly “homesick,” and it cajii be hardly
expected that they will reconsider their
former actioil as to a recess. During the
last week, an immense amount of business
has been transacted. Long sessions and
evening sessions have been held by both
Houses ; last night, the Senate was in session
until 2 o'clock, and that body is at work to
night (Sunday), and the House was at work
nearly *ll day. The bill passed by the Senate,
yesterday, to protect American citizens
abroad, will not be dangerous, if it should
even become a law. As originally presented
bv Mr. Coniieas, it gave the President such
powers as to enable him, if so disposed, to
involve this country in war at any moment.
As the bill stands, he is required to use the
powers with which he is already endowed.
Il is only a gentle reminder of what Con-,
gress expects him to do.
The adoption of the Fourteenth Amend
<*«nt by the Georgia legislature has averted
one threatened difficulty, for the Democracy,
backed up by Johnson and Seward, seemed
determined to assume that the Ainendiucirt
had not become * part of tlm Constitution,
the requisite two-think including Ohio and
New Jersey, which States, it k claimed, have
annulled their former action ; but the action
of Georgia removes this disturbing element,
nnd Mr. Johnson will have to fall baqk atone
upon the “unconstitutionality of the recon- j
struction laws of Congress.”
Wc have had another change in the
weather, and instead of the hot, sweltering
weather of the Inst two weeks, it is cold
enough to-day to make fires comfortable, if
not a necessity. Capital.
