Let Republicans everywhere remember that, in addition to the State Republicau Convcntioi), to be held in Atlanta on the 18th instant, there will )w a grand Mass Meeting of the Rcpublfenns of Georgia-. In every county, from the mountains t.<> the gulf, delegations arc getting ready to go. Let all go. There is room for every <Wie. The Gate City is open to all. It will lie mode such u rallying time as lias not I men 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 'lie* presented to the Chib that jwoduecs 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. THE HOMESTEAD LA IF. The republican party of Georgia ‘has secured to every man’s # wife and children his homestead, against the grasping selfish ness of any and all Shyloi’ks. 'The demo cratic party opposed the homestead law, being willing to plnye every man's hptnu 1 under tiro sheriff - hammer. fin n t ■ evi-ry Shyloek of tin State, and i-verv until 1 • who lot' . hi- paAly bt tiiV than ivit'o j <liil<lr< n. -liout lustily for Scvuorw and'!

Republican render, the next time you hear a democrat vtllifying your party, remind him of these fuqts. BETS ON GRANT--AO TAKERS. There is no class in tlie country more sagacious than the sporting fnitvrnity. In polities they are most ■ excellent jtt.dgcs of the strength of parties. To a man demo cratic in their sympathies nnd affllititlons,- when there is the least prospect of tiro success of the candidates of that party they are ready to “ go their Imttom dollar’’' on the result. In the present contest, Irowever, the black-leg gentry have suddenly become too virtuous to bet. The TriMneof the 10th says the wager of ten thousand dollars ou Grant's election still remains untaken at the St. Nicholas, and George Wilkes' offer to accommo date the democracy- -in sums of $5,000 and upwards, on the result of the election —finds no takers. The truth is, there is not the least show for Seymour and Blair, and tile sports know it. Whehe the Laugh Comes Ln. —The ‘scold’ that presides over the columns of the Chronicle is furious at the nomination ami eonftrmtrtkm of Ex-Govcnwr Brown as Chief Justice of the State. Well, let him fume. Runt. Haute! Republicans’ and decent democrats smile at the impo tence of your rage. They know that you, Toombs, Ben Hill, and all like clmracterx, will be eompelk'd, for the next twelve years, whenever you have business in the Supreme Court, to obsequiously address Gov. Brown as “your HonoY," and “Mr. Chief Justice.” - There's where tlic laugh comes in. Getting Ready.—Preparations are being made at Capitol Square for the Republican Mass Meeting to be held in Atlanta on ike 18lli inst. Every accommodation wiU be arranged for the comfort ot the large number of citizens that nrc expected to bo present. The committee of arrangements are actively at work, and all will be ready iu time. Gov Warmouth’s appeal lo the President for troops to preserve order in Louisiana’ shows a deplorable state of things there, which calls for 'immediate interventiou by the Federal Government. Anarchy and assassination will become nearly universal in the Ute rebel States, unless the recon structed State government's are vigorously sustained. Blair, Hampton, Toombs, and the Tammanyitcs have been doing much, whether purposely or otherwise, to incite general insurrection. ThDayton Ledger considers that “under the Georgia* Constitution there are f<-w or ho disfranchisements of white men.” Is not the same true as to every one of tlic States recently reconstructed ? And yot there is a great hullyballoo. about the dis franchisement of the white man, as well as enfranchisement of the negro, Except in Missouri and Tennessee —the former always loyal, and lire latter trained under the provisional governorship of AXdrzw .JoH'n sok —there is no reasonable pretext fop this outcry. Teo much leniency has been shown to rebels. i ■ • < [ConimuuicaUd. A. 2: EMfora oj tht b'adoual. Rqiublican : Will ybu Bite*’ me space in your columns l, £-* u ”n csl the! name of the Hou. Amos T.

Ati.aNta:, (1 A., Augnst 13, 1868. I>EM<H!RATI(J dealing g ith FREEDMEN. The wanton treachery of Southern Dem ocrats toward the freedpje'i, whose votes’ they solicit with soft words, or emleavcjr to coerce with threats, deserves more marked attention than it has yet received. When the freedman was first armed with the ballpt,, in self defence against his late rebel master's despotic inclination toward him, Wado Iliinipton was one ol the first anti moot zealous in putting in motion the machinery to control negro votes for the Democratic party. He hsed mild persua sives, affecting great ntixiety that freedmen should consult their best interests, and assuring tbqin that their truest friends were their old -misters, upder whose influence they opght to exercise their newly gained franchise as electors. In Mississippi, prior to the election in which (be iutw Sthte Con.'dituOon was voted down, a systematic demagogic ry was prac ticed to win over the nesrro to the Democratic side. Whites ami blacks met together, barbecued in company, ami associated on terms of equnlity, all for the good of the party. What coaxing and flattery could not do, was striven fur by off':ring.am inducement in the shape or ready euiploymeul to the freedman who held a card of membership in a Democratic club. Ibis was naturally carried a step farther, and tipproxi mated the method since boldly proclaimed ot refusing to employ a negro who adhered to the Re publican party. The “ chivalrous” AVaflc Ilamptoq, who was so honored by the Democratic Na.ional Ckmvcntioii, and who > dictated the most essential part of its platform, has thrown off the mask since that Convention adjourned, and with an atrocity unparalleled except by the Fort Pillow massacre itself, fiendishly counsels, in the same locality where lie firSt proclniiitcd ir.m-■ ti th If icdtn in'-' In < | friend, that I'■ ii,.'--rat< . hould rtfe-j every Republican i><:gro.

' Let the American people 'duly ptrijlcr on the spectacle. The men who have kept an unfortunate race in ignorance arc delibor ately, systematically, zealously laboring to take advantage of that ignorance, by mak ing wantonly false statements and promises which they intend to violate, in order to abrogate negro suffrage altogether. The determination neytr to submit to negro suffrage is the great burden of their cam paign oratory aud literature. . I'hey ask the negro voter to help them dedrive him of all power to vote. Such men presume to prate of dishonesty and corruption. They ask the people to trust them with the ad ministration of the Government under pre-, tence of reform 1 Yet they openly practice upon the freedmen a villainy which shows au utter disregard of moral obligations. talk also of chivalry. Was it ever known that chivalry took advantage of the weak, refused justice- to the humble, imposed upon the ignorant, wantonly broke plighted faith, or gloried in falsehood? There would be more honor found among Italian banditti or Mexican outlaws. We do not anticipate that any great num ber of freeduiea will be victimized by this modern chivalry. -They are not in general' too ignorant to kndfr their bitter enemies. Some niay yield rather than accept the terrible alternative proposed by the brutish Hampton. If all military protection were to be withdrawn, mid the blacks left disarmed, . intimidation would probably • accomplish much. Here and there a colored enemy of his own race will bo seduced to aid the cause of a “white man’s government.” But when all is done, the Democracy will have, per formed this work without reward, and exposed its unscrupulous character in vain. [Cincinnati Ohmnielc. Just So.-—Tlic Brooklyn Eagle- says of Seymour’s letter of acceptance, that it is “addressed less to the representatives of the party, whoso eandidate he is, than to his countryn en of all parties,” and agonizes through a whote Column to prove the self evident fact. We admit it is a bid for everybody’s vote. .It says, in effect, tliis : “The democratic nomination for President is received with universal admiration. 1 tun he who received that nomination. Ergo, lam the mao, chief among ten thousand, oh 1 vote for me, vote for me, vote for me." Just so, vote frequently, “friends,” lloiiatio is weary of rural retirement. - - How to Make Political Vai’ital. — the Democrats have a very simple recipe for making political capital. Il is to get tip a riot, an insurrection, or a war, mi l then to i harge tlie expense and trouble ol putting ? down to republican extravagance. This is the sum and substance of all their charges against the republican party. A NEW DEN ADHEM.

Information Wanted.—Mr. "Seymour, in his letter of, acceptance, say.,: “ Having given nearly sixleen ihonsQttd commissions to the officers of that army, I know their views aud wishes."
