RALLY' RALLY! !
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 ■

head oi a family, who iovos his wile and
little ones, and would not see them tulncd
out of -doors by the inexorable demand of
the relentless note-shaver, lemihils i; ilw
republican party as his friend and pre
server.
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 ■ •

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 < |

i rats to draw th-, f.eedmvn to their side,
take up. at ran'doni any new-pap.'-r al the
South which supports Seymour and I Hair,
and he will scarcely fail fin'} enough to
satisfy him that the game is systematic and
universal, wherever the negro has a vote.
Resort is had to every variety of artifice to
induce him to join the Democratic ranks
If you call the .attention Os a Seymour'
and Blair man m tin? cruel duplicity anil
treachery thus practiced toward the negro,
by which it is attempted to entice or coutpel
hilH to aid the triumph of a party whoso
cardinal principle it is that this is and shall
be exdutirefy “« whitman's jfovemment, r
you will-prob,ibly'be met with an exultant
uvoiyul that this is just as it slioulil or
this cool imp.'.sitirm ami betrayal wi 1 only

Democracy to power, and to overthrow every
new right anil privilege secured to th" iteero
by Republican legislation—-going tar back
of the franchise thus used to destroy itself,
and even nestablishing slqycrv -we. fear
that possibly the “Christian gentleman” who
heads the Democratic ticket would feel no
coiupuiurtiou at tin' deliberate false dealing
and treachery which gained Rtteh coveted
ends. '
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.

from th its that the Governor cotntnissioned

views, and that only copperheads were
commissioned by him? If such werO tile
