It is couccdixl that the coining election for the Presidency is one of the most im portant, if not the most important iu its results of any election ever held in this country. The issue is very plain, simple and easily comprehended by the most obtuse citizen who exercises his franchise. In tew words it can thus be stated : Wc have had a fearful rebellion and war of years in duration. It was begotten in the breasts and brains of a few thousand slaveholders, who sought, by a rupture of the Union and the establishment of«a Con" federacy of the slave States exclusively, to' make their anti-democratic, anti republi can and barbarous system permanent. The slaveholders and their sympathizers had made themselves necessary to the success of the Democratic party, had dictated jts platforms, named its nominees for Federal office, and generally controlled its policy and action. Not satisfied with having their peculiar institution of barbarism in their own States, they sought to make the system natianal. The approaches to this point were carefully made but firmly pressed. The right of the stave master" to take his slave from the free States, in the most open and offensive maimer, was claimed and obtained under the Fugitive Slave Law, so called, passed by-a Democratic Congress, ami executed by Democratic Presidents. The right to hold slaves in the free States was also demanded, and at the outbreak of the rebellion was before the United States Court for settlement. Slavery bad shaped the Court in its in terest, and the issue of the case was morally certain to be in the interests of slavery. The slaveholders then claimed equal rights with freedom for their institution, in all the Territories of the Union, North or fjjouth. An appeal was taken from Congress, and the Democratic party, then wholly controlled by the slaveholders— the men who subsequently rebelled—to the people, and the issue fairly put up. Abraham Lincoln, the candidate of free dom. was elected, and the American peo ple said, “no more slave territory." Foiled of their purposes, the minority, the hand ful, appealed to arms. Their representa tive men in the Cabinet and Congress left their places to violate their oath, buckle on the sword and destroy the government. The freedom party, with Mr. Lincoln at the head of the nation, met the issue on many a bloody field. Thousands of good Democrats, who were loyal in spite of their leaders, went to the field, fought bravely, aud many yielded their lives for the holy cause. The leaders of the Democracy sympa thized with the traitore. Those in the army, iu command, fought rebels, or pre tended to fight them, in such a manner as to discourage both-the loyal army and people, and made haste to return the es-' caped bondsmen inorder that the armed enemy might have laborers to carry on the war. Those in Congress voted against supplies and generally obstructed, iu every possible way, the raising of money or troops. The wicked farce of the Democracy was ended by the nomination’of"George B. McClellan as the peace compromise can didate, alike acceptable to the traitors in arms and their Democratic sympathizers. North and West He was roundly defeated by the people and Mr. Lincoln wks reelected. The re bellion was put down, in spite of the blatant treason uttered by Vallandtgiiam and his knights of the Golden Circle ; in spite of the draft riots, murder aud arson, committed by “the friends" of Horatio Seymour; in spite of the importunities of “my adjutant, whom I have sent to Wash ington to stop the draftand in spite of all the bowlings of the Democratic press. Grant and SinotMAx aud Sheridan. and all other loyal general, pushed Lee to the wall, drove Jeff. Davis into a hurried at tempt to escape, accepted the surrender of Lee, saw his rebel army dislwmded, and saw Jeff. Davis a prisoner in Fortress Monroe. Andrew Johnson went over to the Democratic party, and gave the rebels and their sympathizers a new lease of hope. What they failed to gain by the sword they hoped, through him, to gain by diplomacy, or by resisting the will of the people as expressed through a loyal Congress. It has Iteen an administration of Democratic vetoes, every one of which bos been aimed against freedom, and to suitserve the inter ests of the traitorous scoundrels who caused so much sorrow and bloodshed. Under this policy we had New Orleans inasstiorcs, and a general lifting up of defiant rebel heads. Steady to their one purpose, as destiny itself, the People have moved upon the works of slavery. It has been utterly mid totally abolished by law. While Mr. Johnson has been distributing pardons to rebels, profusely and indiscriminately’, where the laws did not interfere; while he has been strengthening the wicked purposes of men still unsubdued, though soundly whipped, the Joyal Republican Congress has been making laws in the interests of freedom, in spite of Executive vetoes, controlling by legislation the mad doings of the rebels anil their Democratic agents, and in spite of all the rebel influences brought to bear upon the country, have seen State after State reconstructed upon a sound Republican basis of freedom and equality, and have admitted their Repre sentatives into the Senate and House of Representatives.' Other States are now preparing thoinSelvcs for a like purging of their society of the virus of chattel slavery, aud treason, and .will soon be admitted to representation. The Union tis a whole will be a harmonious unit very speedily, if not disturbed by the elevation of the sympa thizing rebel element to place and power. The issue in the coining campaign is, simply, whether the people will yield all they have won by their treasure and blood, or whether their loyal verdict given on the field and at the ballot shall be faithfully carried to completion. Gen. Grant aud Suiiuylek Colfax represent the latter view; Horatio Seymour and Frank P. Bla'ir, the former. With Grant and Colfax wc shall have peace, law and am ple security for free institutions. With Seymour and Blair, we shall have an upheaval of society in the South, an ar. bitrary despotism of one man, backed by his orders to- the army, and a renewal of the jealousies and strife on the part of the born-to-rnle elemeut of the South. We believe that the country wttntajtewe. Such riotous spirits as Frank Blair are as much out of place in our Union now as a rebel angel would be among the liannoni ous dwellers of the heavenly country. Tlie issue is, peace or a renewal of disturbance. With the latter will come repudiation, dishonor and a general political debouch ment. Let us have honesty, equality, free dom, peace and prosperity. The election of Grant and Colfax will insure them all. * The Richmond Enquirer and Examiner says that the white men of the Southern States “have seen the day when they could use the bullet, and if God, in His anger, permit the necessity to arise, they will see it again.” Our cotemporary forgets that, through the magnanimity of Gen. Grant,- many, very many of these gentlemen are now under a solemn parole of honor never again to take up arms against the United States until they arc regularly exchanged by the Confederate Government. Until that day eomes, we’ submit in all kindness that it would be more becoming for them to lie silent on the subject, of fighting. Even the excitement of a Presidential can vass, and their ardent desire to aid iu the election of their favorite candidates, can not justify paroled prisoners in using lan guage of such incendiary character. * The Assembly of Georgia, which is largely Republican, hna passed resolutions promising to bury party prejudices and work for the enactment of laws which will establish peace and harmony among the people of the State. If Toombs, Cobb, Ben jamin 11. Hill A Co., will make like resolves, the people of the State will be benefitted immensely. * *—to <-—-♦ Dr. Homer Viruil Miller, one of the new United States Senators from Georgia, was, during the war, surgeon of the eighth Georgia (rebel) regiment. He has.been a bitter opponent of the Congressional plan of reconstruction, and supported Gem Gordon for the office of Governor of the State. Ho, like Mr. Hill, was born in South Carolina. • • ' Tuts Irish People, a neutral paper, pub lished in New York, has the following in reference to August Belmont: Irishmen—lrish Democrats —tho man who has unblushiugly proclaimed himself, in an American court of law, an agent of Eng land—your old enemy—the desolatorof your paternal hearths —is the identical individual who is actual Chairman of the Democratic National Executive Committee. Mr. W. H. Russell, the well known cor respondent of the London Times, throws some light upon tlie question of Mr. Sey mour's loyalty in the following passage from his published “Diary North aud South. Mr Russell is describing a dinnerparty in New York in 1861 : “The occasion offered itself to Mr. Horatio’ Seymour to give me his views of the Const! tution of the United States, and by degrees the theme spread over the table, * * * There was not a man who maintained that the Government had any power to coerce the people of a State, or to force a -State to remain in the Union or tinder the action of the Federal Government. * * Although they admitted the Southern leaders bad meditated the treason against the Union years ago, they could not bring themselves to allow their old opponents, the Republicans, now in power, to dispose of the armed force of the Union agaiusl their brother Democrats in the Southern Slates. * > * * * Mr. Seymour is a man of compromise, but his views go further than those which were entertained by his party two years ago. Although secession would prod ict revolution, .it. was, in his opinion, a right founded on abstract principles, which could scarcely be abrogated with due regard to the original compact." , GOVERNOR BULLOCK. Steadily, ever since the election of Colonel Bollock, the opposition press and people, of the Stale have been puling and whining about the fanciful doom that is hanging over the old -Commonwealth. They profess to see nothing but bankruptcy, ruin and negro equality, while they avowedly despair of any future for the people of the State. Such mouthing! are but vaporings of spume, that have foundation. only in a mqrtal fancy, and should be passed by as an idle wind, hardly able to ruffle the bosom of a lake. There is not the faintest shadow of a foundation that Gov. Bullock is other than a warm friend to Georgia. Whatever affects the interests of the people of tho State operates similarly upon his interest. lie has no present or prospective interest discon nected front Georgia and her people. Whatever affects the liberty and lives of others affects his life and liberty. What ever affects the property of others affects his property also. lie has nothing outside of the State, and, of course, has no wish or desire to so shape his administration as to militate against the common weal. It is sheer folly to anticipate anything of the kind. Were he a mere adventurer, the bulk of whose property was in another State, and ha here on a sort of speculating tour, there would then grounds for appre hension ; but not now, for a residence of ten years in Georgia, during the whole of which time he has held the respect of those who best knew him) disrobes him of the character of an adventurer and makes him a child of the State by adoption. Having, during his residence iu the State as a private individual, cordially co operated with and materially advanced various works of internal improvement, we have the right to foresee that all enterprises that promise to develope and increase the commercial and other resources of the State, will have his favor and support as tar 18 it can bo given. The Air Line Railroad, which promises mure to the people of Georgia than auy other projected enterprise, has already enlisted his sympathy, and he will do what ever may be in his power to advance the great and beneficent project. His practical mind enables him to discover the benefit that the whole State will derive from the completion of this enterprise,and he earnestly desires to see the work advance as rapidly as possible. Again, he would be glad to see young Lowells rising all over the State, manufac tures springing up wherever practicable, the working classes provided with all kinds of employment, the tide of immigration turned hitherward, the lands of the State occupied and cultivated by industrious and economical husbandmen, the mines of the State worked to their fullest capacity, the children of the State educated at the public expense; in fact, he desires a full development of what ever tends to make the people of'Georgia wealthy, happy and progressive. In his distribution of the offices in his gilt, Governor Bullock will be guided by the rule of merit only. He has everything to make by bis official conduct. He has no spite to gratify, no wrongs to avenge, but is stimu lated by every couceivable object to make only such appointments as will do honor to himself and protect'the interest of his con stituents. We do not profess to know who will be his advisers, but we are satisfied they will be good men—men whose counsels will be wise and prudent, whose judgment will enable them to discriminate between patriotism and mere party purposes. If, then, the above line of policy will bankrupt and ruin the State, we are willing to admit that the people are in some danger, but we ore willing to admit the danger on no other grounds ; and those who have been raising the hue and cry will discover that we are right,'and that their apprehensions (which are mostly professed) are “baseless as the fabric of a vision."— Atlanta Era. HON. BENJAMIN CONLEY. It is a source of great satisfaction to aiiy dclib. r.-itrve assembly, to show that their proceedings are directed by one of good practical sense, of experience ahd acquaint ance, in parliamentary laws, of gentlemanly address and dignity of manner, together with firmness of decision, and an honest desire to deal fairly with all parties. Such pn one the Senate have been fortunate enough to secure in the election as President of their body, of the Honorable gentleman whose name heads this article. We have observed with what readiness and correctness he makes decisions on points of order—puts the previous question and extricates the body from any temporary confusion t|vat may have bfOjn created by reason of amendments, all of which often occurs in the best regulated assemblies. To do till this, in away to save time, give satisfaction to the various speakers, many of whom may be contending for the floor at once, requires a cool head and a well balanced temperament, not to be con fused or thrown off his guard himself, thus to give dispatch to business, so that every member may have u fair chance of being heard, and the rights of the minority pro tected. Mr. Conley seems to be more titan admirably qualified. We feel satisfied that, ns thesession advances and the business becomes more complicated, by jeason of amendments, changes, etc., the body will feel safe in his hands, and that whatever they do for the State, will be as will done, and iu as pleasant, agreeable a manner under him as under ;uiy other President that Ims presided over the deliberations of a Georgia Senate. Wo venture still inure the assertion, that if the Seriate do not have a pleasant session it will not be Mr. Conley's fault. — Atlanta Era. The Great Gkansifanher of Grant.— An interesting relic and memento of the old French and Indian wars in this country has been on exhibition in the Department of Arms and Trophies of the Sanitary Fair at Chicago. It is the aiuster-rod of a militia couqiauy raised by Captain Noah Grant, great grandfather of General U. S, Grant, and bears date March 26, 1755. Captain Grant and hisbrother, Liqut. Solomon Grant, were afterwards killed at the battle of White Plain*, New York, in the Revolutionary war. Affixed to the names on the roll is the amount Os wages received by each soldier, generally for the period of twenty-five weeks, which was probably the period they were requited to sqrvc. The money is reckoned iu pounds, shillings and pence. The pay of Captain Grant for that period was at the rate of less than $350 a year, and not quite a dollar a day ; and the pay of a private for the same krui was something less tlmu $2 a week. It will readily be seen that the dif ference between the pay of commissioned officers and privates was not so great in this coantry a hundred years ago as it is to-day, the pay of a private at that time being about one-third as large as that received by a Captain. Louis Napoleon has had a season of moralizing over his position, the contingency of bis death by violence and the result of such an event to France, as well ws’hisowu family. It is well for him an 1 all other monarchs to remember that “Within the hollow crown That ronnits the mortal temples ol's king. Keeps iteath his court." The Republican papers deserve credit this season for journalistic enterprise. They n'ot only publish in full tlie speeches of tbt*ir party leaders, bat marry by Wade -Hampton and other lights of the 1 femocracy, which might otherwiwe never be read by Northern Democrats. [From the Spirit of the Tiaot. PHILOSOPHY OF THE CAMPAIGN. During the last two weeks, we have been constantly in the receipt of letters from sub scribers of all shades of politics, asking us our real opinion as to the Presidential con test between Grant and Seytnoar, and some times requesting to know the theory upon which we base the opinions we have already printed on that subject. To*tbe first of these two classes of questioners we answer, that we never print anything we do not mean ; and to the second, who have complimented us with a belief in our sincerity, we will cheerfully give all the reasons in our power. In the first place, let us. say, that we give our opinions and explain the reasons for them, not as a party newspaper (which the Spirit is not, and never will be), but simply as a shrewd, observing journal of the time, which takes note of all the great events that are transpiring around it, and which would be ashamed to be without an opinion upon that paramount event which is absorbing the attention of the nation beyond all others; aivl still mere ashamed to have an opinion without the conrage to express it. The man who indulges in opposite views to ours, and who desires to limit this liberty in us, is one with whom we do not desire even the most casual relations. Such a man is not entitled to the valuable knowled »e which is always to be gained from an intelligent and honora ble adversary. Immediately upon the nomination of Gen. Grant by the Chicago Convention upon the 20th of May, we expressed ihe opinion that he would be elected President of the United States, whatever candidate might be opposed to him. When Seymour was nominated by the July Convention as his rival, we reiterated that opinion ; and now that the issue has been joined for full three weeks, and the contest has, on one side, at least, risen almost to the height of fury, we desire to repeat that opinion, and to add to it our further firm belief, that the victory of Grant will bo so signal that it may be likened to a march rather than a contest, and will hardly wear the look of anelecticn at all. We also believe that Grant will carry the State of New York, and tha. John A. Griswold, who is now nominated on the Grant ticket for its Governor, will defeat any candidate who may be set up against him, and for these reasons: The inquirer will, at the outset, note-the fact that politics is no longer a sentiment, but an industry ; no longer a doctrine, but an occupation. Polities are in fact just as much a business industry as the spinning of cotton, the making of shoes, or the raising of wheat and corn. And it is governed by the natural instincts of all industries, viz: employment and profit. Now, the revelation of the impeachment trial demonstrated the fact that there are more than forty-one thousand office holders under the national administration. There are undoubtedly five times that number organized under the sub machinery of the States ; and for each mau in office there are always two or three who have been put out, and two or three fresh aspirants who are desirous to get in. Here are fully a million of men whose attention is withdrawn from the wholesome industries of the land to be devoted to tW unprincipled industry of poli tics, and whose personal interests extend,-in one way or another, to several nitons more. This baleful, blighting, witheriWßjtodustry has been fostered into existence happy defect in our Constitution which p’er mils the President to intrigue for reflection, and which, under the maxim that “to the victors belong the spoils,” has created a system of dependence and corruption unpar alleled in any government in the world. In fact, no other government can become so bad, except where, under a reflective sys tem, the Chief Magistrate finds Ct to bis interest to encourage and patronize all the worst men in the land, in order that he may be re-elected. In no other country, therefore, except one that has a reflective Presidential system, can such a demoralizing pursuit of politics grow up as wb behold around us here ; and which, in place of the handful of parasites who hang upon the European courts, presents the disgraceful picture of a million of courtiers (for that is the true name for party politicians) bending their heads for the dirty bread of public patronage in Re publican America. But without pursuing this feature of our theme, let us come back to the fact which bears directly upon the opinion we have raised, to wit: the fact that politics in America has, uuderlhese devilish influences, become an established business pursuit, based upon the snb-industries of lying and stealing, and is actuated, of course, like all pursuits of business,, by the instincts of enjoyment and profit. Taking the problem at this point, wc find the .public almost universally believing that General Grant will be elected over Seymour ; and though the politicians of the Seymour “ring'' will protest, till they are black in the face, that they entertain a contrary opinion, they will accept no bets against Grant, even at the rate of two to one. This may be said to be no argument; nevertheless, it is a very significant sign in a party which is very fond of betting ; and it warrants us in the expectation that when the progress ol the canvass confirms the want of confidence in the prospects of the conservative candidates, the mercenary army which is now swarming under the shadow of their banners in the hunt for spoil, will abandon the copper camps and turn their faces to the rising suit. Governbd by no principle, sustained by no sentiment, and actuated simply by a thirst for gain, these men will, not be willing to be put beyond reach of the snug little nooks in the Custom House and Post Office for four long years, but will join the conquering army under Grant. Other and'better influences will,'of course,. animate other aud better men to swell the ranks of the only man who can give the country peace, but the stampede of the courtiers, who are even yet shrieking out for Seymour, will be enough alone to set the tide into a flood. In no State are this class of political parasites keener or more unprin cipled than In the State of New York ; and we shall not be surprised, therefore, to see Grant and Griswold, under the influence of these men’s desertion of a sinking cause, get a majority of fifty or sixty thousand, in this very State. So far as the country at large is concerned, we hardly know where, after naming Kentucky, Maryland and Dela ware, we can put our finger on another doubtful State. Indeed, we believe that even little Delaware will go for General Grant— and shall expect —(with a few more such revelations of the rebel intentions in case of Seymour’s success, as was given by Wade Hampton in h:s late Charleston speech)—to sec Maryland herself unite with the victo rious throng. The instincts of property will thus- codperate with the greed of place-men, for even Democratic politicians who have interests to preserve will see the ‘’cherished” rebel sword brought forth again, as promised by \\ ade Hampton, to drench the land once more with wasted blood. Even they, far as they will go for party, sigh for peace. IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF THE I nited States for the Southern District of Georgia. In the Matter of i REDDICK C.
