REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION ROOMS OF STATE CENTRAL COM. 1 Übion Rbuublican Party or Ga., > Avgusta, Ga., July 14, 1863.) AT THE REQUEST OF MEMBERS of the Centra! Committee, I hereby call a State Convention of the Republican party of Georgia, to assemble in ATLANTA, on Tuesday, the 1 Sth day of August next, for the purpose of nominating Electors for Grant and Colfax. The bails of representation will be the same as in the lower house of the General Asseftbly. Republicans are requested to hold meetings in their respective Congressional Districts, and nominate candidates for Congress. FOSTER BLODGETT, Chm’n State Oen. Committee.. Republiean papers in this State will please copy. jylo--td RALLY! RALLY! ! Let Republicans everywhere remember that, in addition to the State Republican Convention, to be held in Atlanta on the 18th instant, there will be a grand Mass Meeting of the Republicans of Georgia. In every county, from the mountains to the gulf, delegations are getting ready to go. Let all go. There is room for every pne. The Gate City is open to all. It will be made such a rallying time as has not been known in Georgia for years. Eminent speakers will be there from abroad to address the meeting. In addition to the, other ceremonies, a flag will be presented to the Club that produces the largest num ber of members. Which will be the “Banner” Club ? Let there be one tremen dous rally and blazing demonstration for Grant and Colfax as the .representatives of National Republicanism. UNFAIR.. The National Republican (Radical), pub lished at Augusta, copied a part of our account of the murder near Davisboro, contained in last week’s Georgian, and adds some ill natured remarks on the morality of the Democratic county of Washington. Had the Republican copied our article entire, his readers would have been spared the infliction of the homily ho reads to the people of Democratic Wash ington county. But :w* the Radical heart needs to I>e fired just at this time, an ac count of a real or imaginary murder or a riot is a God-send to that paper, and the most that can bo made of it is made, whether it comports of truth or not. Our account is published as we received it from the lips of a freedman, and from a juror after the inquest had been held. I Sa»<7ewiWe Geon/ian. We transferred to our columns the facts given in the Georgian , of one of the most diabolical, wilful and unprovoked mur ders of an innocent freedman in Washing ton county, we had ever heard of; al the verdict of what was supposed or snid to be a coroner's jury—adding thereto simply our protest against such shameful, disgraceful and atrocious murders, as well as corrupt findings of juries. We did not give the Georgian's condemnation of this foul murder, or rather assassination —we preferred our own. If we omitted a single fact stated in the Georgian, wc will publish it if our cotemporary will point it out to us. The comments of the Georgian, in the great kindness of his heart for his fellow citizens, we considered qt the time too moderate to do his sense of justice credit; hence we gave to the public our own comments, charitably omitting tlie Gear gian's. Yet if we are to understand, by his article of this week, that he now says the murder was “imaginary,” and the . facts stated by him, “from the lipsofa freedman, and from a juror,” do not com port with truth, we perhaps were too charitable in our conclusions—and ask pardon. , We now ask if the Georgian admits his credulity in being imposed upon by a simple freedman and a juror of the cor-' oner's inquest? Or, was a man really assassinated in a public road in Washing ton county, at noon-clay, near Davisboro, in a thickly settled portion of the county, and the assassin allowed to escape witliouteven pursuit ? If the democratic party can lie sustained by such foul murders of innocent freedmen, we are greatly mistaken in the morals of the Southern people ; or even if it will subserve the ends of ‘party’ to con ceal such offenders, we are greatly mis taken, Hence, as a public journalist we felt called upon to .give notice to the public of the foul means employed tp rid °f freedmen, and to caution law.abiding citizens to punish the offenders, that retalia tion might not be resorted to. Wil! the Georgian publish our article < It seems not. Who then, wc ask, is “unfair”? We shall continue to condemn lawlessness assassinations and murders -of freedmen, even—at the risk of offending all the democratic journals, when wc can obtain the facts from so reliable a source as in the foul and atrocious murder alluded to. As to the comments of the. “carpet-bag’’ editor of the Savannah Republican, we will only say to him: whenever he elevate himself to decent controversy, such as sliould characterize honorable gentlemen of the quill, we may then pay our respects to him. Until then we,can only say, filthy, foul-mouth creature, go on—your ravings can do us no hurt. • , _ After the nomination.of Seymour and Blair was ina<le, the Democratic party in Louisiana began a thorough organization, and they now boast that they will carry the State for Seymour if they have to kill every “nigger” on its soil in doing so. The Seymour Knights and Blair Guards having been organized, drill as regularly as if . they were military. They are dis posed in various regiments and compa nies which they furnished to swell the rebel army in war times. THE DIFFERENCE. General Grant says in his letter of acceptance, “let us have peace.” Frank Blair says in his bid for the Presidency, that the coming President must reverse the action of a Radical Congress by the strong arm of the military power. General Grant represents the law and order party, and favors the oppression of rebellions. Governor Seymour addresses Irish mobs as his friends and colaborers, saying nothing about the issues as set forth in the iwo party platforms. The standard bearers are representatives of ideas as antagonistical as any to be found In thq platform. Grant and Colfax are for peace, liberty and prosperity. Seymoub and Blair are for repudiation, revolution and general derangement. REVOLUTION AGAIN DECAHED. The following extract from the message of the President, vetoing the Electoral College bill, furnishes additional evidence of the fixed purpose of the rebel Democracy to enter ripon another revolution. Frank Blaib, their candidate for the Vice Pros!, dency, has boldly declared the purpose of the party to overturn the reorganized gov ernments by armed force if needs be. Mr, Johnson has improved upon the Blair plan by declaring for revolution in order to insure the success of the party—Blair would wait for success, Johnson proposes to seize it. Rut here is what he says : “It is worthy of remark that if the States whose inhabitants were recently in rebel lion were legally find constitutionally organized'and restored to their rights prior to the 4th of March, 1887, as I am satisfied they were, the only legitimate authority under whiclrtlie election for President and Vico President can be held therein must be derived from the governments instituted before that period. It clearly follows that all the State governments organized in those States under act of Congress for that purpose, and under military control, are illegitimate and of no validity whatever; and, in that view, the votes cast in those States for President and Vico President, in pursuance of acts passed since the 4th of March, 186", and in obedience to the so called reconstruction acts of Congress can not be legally received and counted ; while the only votes in those States that cun be legally cast and counted will bo those east in pursuance of the laws in force in the several States prior to the legislation by Congress upon the sulyect of reconstruc tion.” . HON. THAD. STEVENS. “Stevens is Dead.” —Mourn, ye Rads, for we rejoice; weep, “ye dirty dogs,” for wa smilo. Let decency once more hold up her fade, and the Goddess of Liberty cease to blush. The Devil demanded his own, and Thad deus went. Brownlow and low Brown are supposed to be the next on that list. May the. Devil’s collecting agent come soon. J Atlanta Constitution. Death of the Hon. Thad. Stevens.— The death of this great commoner was the all-absorbing topic ol conversation ou our streets yesterday. Many light and unbe coming remarks, more damaging to those who made them than to the deteased, were indulged in by a few. Whatever may be said of Mr. Stevens, now that he is dead, let us not brinst reproach upon ourselves by untie coming slang and Sacrilegious remarks over his coquie. That he was alone responsible for the present anomalous position of the country, -is also true. If wc can say no good of him, decency demands that we nt least maintain our self-respect, by abstaining from coarse ami unnecessary allusions to his memory.'— Macon Telegraph. ■ ■— ♦ ■ ■ ;-** One man like Semmes, blowing around on the anxiety of Southern rebels for another outbreak, may excite disgust; but when dozens of leading rebels in different parts of the South are doing the same thing, while a candidate for Vice President, their leader, surpasses them all in violent and revolutionary language, something beside disgust would seem to be in order. ’ * ■■■ ■ ■ “J" Tub Blur Party is making good pro gress. At the Democratic State Convention of Kansas, a rebel and Union flag hung side by side. Jf snch a misfortune should ever befall the country as the election of Seymour and Blair, the stars and stripes would disappear and the rebel flag remain the one conspicuous object. Always, prior to the rebellion, Presiden tial electors in South Carolina. were chosen by the Legislature. Great complaint is now made because, in some of the recon structed States, the same method is proposed for the coming election. It is not a good method, in our judgment, in quiet times, but in the present condition of affairs it is likely to prevent bloodshed ami general disturbance. Hon. B. 11. Hill (not Joshua), of Geor gia, wants to be the man to set fire to the great heap of ‘journals and constitutions and enactments of conventions forced upon us by fraud and usurpation’’ that shall be gathered when the Democratic ticket is elected. Rather incendiary is Hill. Jurihu Aldrich, of Augusta, who had the honor of a Democratic reception in Charleston, a few jjnys ago, said : “This is a grand contest in which we are engaged— a contest for constitutional liberty, and it was the contest in which we have been engaged since 1861.” z Let it be remembered that Frank P. Blair, the Democratic candidate for Vice President, is*thc author of the following atrocious sentence: “And now I say that unless the negroes 'submit to the intelli gent guidance of the powerful white race their fate will lx? that of the Indians ; they will Im? exterminated.” The Democratic Newspapers are exceedingly jubilant over their great victory in Kentucky. It is true it is a marvelous victory, but then everybody expected it. Who had the least idea that the “Confederate X Roads, which is in the Stait uv Kentucky,” would de differently ? In a recent speech to a so-called Demo cratic meeting at Atlanta, the Hon. Howell Cobb, a paroled prisoner of war, said of General Grant that it was his usage to “travel over the battle field and thrust his sword into each dead bqdy.” Probably Mr. Cobb was not aware that Gen. Grant not in the habit of wearing a sword at all when he went into battle. * * RHYMES. Sing a song of Seymour, And Blair full of rye; Every Tammany Ipjun’s Finger’s in the pie. When the pie is opened, Little birds will sing, “Seymour, Seymour wants to be, But never will bo king.” Blair in the wigwam, Feeling very frisky, Full of high ambition (Synonym for whiskey); Saymonr out doors, Showing off his clothes, ’Long comes ITtysses Grant And nips off his nose. i ' , WIIA r A WESTERN SOLDIER SA VS OF GRANT. A correspondent of the Springfield (Mass.) Republican says: 1 enjoyed the pleasure of a long conver sation with a gentleman who was with General Grant from the time of his , entering the service in the late war till he , was ordered East to take command as lieutenant General. My informant was a ! member of the 11th Illinois, which came r under General Grant’s command late in the fall of 1861. But long before that the General, then brigadier, was a familiar ■ personage to the Eleventh, for its colonel, 1 W. 11. L. Wallace, who fell at Shiloh, had • been a close friend of Grant’s in Mexico, and the intimacy was still maintained. The Eleventh was stationed at Bird’s Point, Missouri, while Grant held command at Cairo, directly opposite. When the Eleventh, : which had been operating under Oglesby, , was attached to Grant’s command, that that officer was about as unpopular as he well could be. The troops were new to the actualities of war, and the slaughter at Belmont made a deep impression on them ; they believed that Grant fought that battle entirely on his own judgment, and they were unable to see that any advantage had been derived from it. Soon after the Fort Henry expedition was planned in perfect secrecy; its success turned the tide of opinion iu Grant’s favor, and when, three months later, Donelson surrendered, my informant says there was not a soldier in the army who-had not perfect confidence in its leader. Shiloh, which followed a few weeks later, my friend knows nothing of personally, as the presence of six bullets in his body, souvenirs of Donelson, temporarily checked his military career. Some weeks later he rejoined his regiment, and was assigned to duty in the office of the Adjutant General John A. Rawlins. Here, for several months, he saw Grant daily. “But,” said he, “a mau might see him every day for yeais, and still know very little about hitn. It was the feeling among the troops that they did not know Grant —could not get acquainted with him—but their faith in him was unqualified, notwithstanding.” I asked my informant if he ever saw any indication of intemperance in the General. He replied that be never saw him drink, and never saw hiin when he seemed to have been drinking. “I asked Beckwith,” said he, “who was telegraph operator at Grant’s head quarters from the time he was made briga i dier till the close qf the war, about this,’who said he had seen him almost every day for four years, and never saw on him the slight est sign of intemperance.” Rawlins, mj . friend, pronounces him the ablest executive , officer in the service; he used frequently to . dictate dispatches to six clerks at once, thus beating Napoleon, whose limit, I believe, , was five. . I can not give you an idea of the earnest [ ness with which my friend expressed his j confidence ia Grant as an officer and a mau— a faith which, he averred, was shared . by almost every man who served under the , General. He could tell me nothing new or , striking about the latter—remarking that he I was a man so self-contained and independent t that there was little about him to tell; his , deeds speek for him. But I thought the testinrony ol a New England boy who served four years in <jne of the famous Western regiments, celebrating his twenty-first birth ] day iu a hospital, with six rebel bullets for f company, and who,worked his way up from private to captain and Assistant Adjutant General, might possess some interest for your i readers.
