The present Presidential cnmpaigd in
volves more momentous consequences than
nay previous political contest in the history
of the country. The people of Georgia are
deeply interested in the result, and will
therefore, look forward to the developments
of the campaign with increasing interest.
The dissemination of reliable news, and of
sound constitutional views on the important
issues of the day are essential to the success
of the Republican party.
To supply in a measure this need, we will
mail The National Republican for any
four months prior to January 1, 18G9, at the
low rate of $1.50.
We appeal to the old supporters of the
Republican to aid us in extending its
circulation. We pledge ourselves to devote
all our energy and ability to the success of
the great cause iu which the Union Repub
lican Party is embarked; and to spare
neither labor nor expense in making The
National Republican a useful and reliable
newspaper.

ROBERT*TO OMB S.
Every one knows that Robert Toovrfss
did as much, if not more, than any other
politician -to bring about the late war. He
told the people there would be no war, and
boasted that he would drink all the blood
that might be spilled in the conflict. The
war came. Our rivers were crimsoned
with bipod, but not one drop of it was
Bob Toombs’ ; he neither spilled his own
or any* other man’s blood. On the other
hand, he was a practical traitor to the
Confederacy. Jeff. Davis had no more
malignant enemy, and the Southern sol
diers no more ungrateful friend, than
Robert Toombs. lie was the enemy*
in the rear. While they were gallantly
fighting the Federal?, he was treacherously
underrating their services. And when they
were finally oyerpowered, and surrendered
to their gallant conqueror, he did not
remain, like a brave amt true man, to share
their fate, but sneaked away and sought
refuge in a foreign land under a foreign
flag. When he ascertained the President’s
defection, he returned to Georgia to shed
crocodile tears over the “lost cause,’’ and
to curse and abuse a Government of whose
magnanimity he is a living monument.
Finally, when it seemed probable that
the President w*ould be impeached and
removed, Toombs suddenly gave out
that he was retained in an impor
tant law case in England, and would
sail in a few days. Johnson was acquit
ted, and we have heard no more of Toombs’
foreign cause at law. The truth is he is a
talented mischief maker, whose liver is
whiter than his skin. He has lead the
people into suffering and war and desert
ed them—he will do it again. He would
get the South in another war—and let
them do the fighting. If the people are
again deceived by him, it will betheir
fault. t
Chief Justice Brown and the Chron
icle. —The Chronicle is attempting to in
jure Chief Justice Brown by reproducing
extracts from a message of his during the
war, when Governor of Georgia, which
criticised severely the Union men of North
Georgia. That paper has not the candor
to acknowledge that its present ananagers
were, at that time, equally, if not more,
violent towards these same Unionists than
Gov. Brown himself, and that the latter
was even then accused of defection to
the Confederacy. The Governor may have
treated Union men unjustly during the
war, -but he is now their friend. The
Chronicle men were their enemies during
the war, and they are their unrelenting foes
now. f
A Specimen of its Veracity.—The
account of the Republican Convention, as
telegraphed from Atlanta by the Agent of
the Associated Press, and published in the
Republican, yesterday morning, stated that
a triumphal car, containing thirty-seven
while girls, each representing a State of
the Union, headed the procession. The
Special of the Chronicle says, “ Each one
of them was as black as the ace of spades.''
This is a wilful and malicious falsehood,
the ages of the girls ranged from six to
thirteen years, and they were the daugh
ters of respectable white gentlemen and
ladies. The Chronicle's statement is not
only false, bat it is an ungenerous and
unmanly attack on a number of angelic
little children. That paper not ouly makes
war on loyal black men and white men,
but also on innocent children. f
• ♦♦♦
No Thunderbolts, but Sou es.—The
Atlanta OanstUutwn invokes the “thunder
bolts of Job.’’ We believe Job had no
thunderbolts. He was just as sore, however,
ai is the editor of the Constitution over the
certainty of a Republican victory in Novem
ber. |
DEMOCRATIC TJH.'TJrOQGINQ. I
The greed of otllcc is the controlling
passion ot tlta lenders of the Democratic
U*rty. For the emoluments ot place, and
flic influence incidental thereto, the men
that control that party arc ever ready to
produce social dissensions, political strife,
chaos, and bloodshed. The authors of the
last, aud the unblusliiug advocates of-u
naw war, they are using all the agciioius
that evil spirits and unholy passions can
suggest., to bewilder the minds of the people
and render them distrustful of men holding
the highest political and judicial positions
in the State, and whose private characters,
to say the least, are without a stain of
reproach.
The Macon Journal A Messenger, and
other papers, have recently been advocating
some plan of arbitration on the part of
litigants which will ignore the regular
courts of the State. In the Columbus Sun
A Times we find an “Address to the Bar
of Georgia," advising the appointment of
three lawyers as arbitrators in each county
of the State, whose decisions, in all
litigated cases, shall “have the force
and effect of decisions by the Supreme
Court." This “Address” is signed by
R. J. Moses,* the Democratic candi
date for Elector in the Third Congressional
District. It will.be observed that Mr.
Moses’ appeal is directed to the lawyers,
not to the people. This is characteristic
of modern Democracy. That party is the
consistent advocate of taking the power
from the many and lodging it in the feu>.
The manifest object of this scheme is to
shoulder upon litigants in each county in
the State the expense of supporting these
“ arbitrators,” in addition to paying the
fees of counsel. There being one hundred
and thirty-two counties iu Geoigia, this
gives lucrative employment to only three
hundred and ninety-six lawyers. As it was
improbable that the people would be able
to see the beauty of the plan, Mr. Moses
shrewdly addressed his proposition to the
men who have a personal interest in dis
covering its wisdom.
The reason given for this extraordinary
recommendation is, briefly, that the present
Supreme Court has “neither the capacity to
expound the laws wisely, nor the honesty
to administer them justly.” Both
the charges, of a want of capacity
and of honesty, against the Su
preme Court, is unblushing hypocriti
cal. Whatever gentlemen may think of
Chief Justice -Brown, and Associate
Justices Warner and McCay, as politi
cians, all intelligent Georgians (including
Mr. R. J. Moses), Iwio that few men in
the State are as well versed in the princi
ples of law, and that they arc incapable of
(Joing violence to their legal knowledge
by making unjust decisions. Even if they
were what they are not—men without high
moral and religious qualities—they would
not disgrace themselves in the judgments
of the enlightened legal minds of the
nation by deciding the Right to be Wrong,
and the Wrong to be Right. Even bad
men would have everything to lose and
nothing to gain by such a course. The
lawyers and editors of Georgia know this,
and when they profess the contrary they
wilfully pervert the truth.
These men will find that the people of
Georgia will neither be beguiled by arts
nor inflamed by passion and prejudice into
adopting their foolish and selfish scheme.
But, should we be mistaken in the good
sense of the people, we cannot be mistaken
when we state that the members of the
Supreme Court will not be injured or
annoyed thereby. They will be relieved
of mucli labor.
The advice of the Republican to the
people is to keep out of the courts alto
gether, when it is possible. Litigation is
unpleasant and generally unprofitable, ex
cept to the lawyers. But if a citizen must
go to law, and thinks his cause is just, his
own good sense will tell him that his
claims will be safer before the Supreme
Court of Georgia, than before three brief
less county court lawyes, calling themselves
“arbitrators,” . ' t

No Sympathy with Nvllifjeks.—Col.
Wm. B. Stokes, Republican Congressman
from Tennessee, made a speech at Nash
ville last week, which is published. In
allusion to the expressed hopes of the
Nullifies that President Johnson would
aid them, Col. Stokes said :
If you (the Seymour Democracy) depend
on Andrew Johnson to support you, you are
mistaken in your man. I was talking to
him last Sunday morning, and he remarked,
“those people are mistaken ; for, as sure as
they break the law or make trouble, so
sure will I bring out the power of the
government to put them down and preserve
peace.”
This shows condusively that Andrew
Johnson has no sympathy with the rec kless
politicians who would precipitate another
bloody war. t
“Extra Nice.”—Our neighbor of the
Constitutionalist says that Gen. Steedman
displays “ extra nice” x sensitiveness in
refusing to support Seymour. General
Steedman is one of the Democrats that
loves his country, and will fight for its
preservation; therefore, he does not support
a man that dubbed him and all other
War Democrats as “ Lincoln hirelings”
during the late “ unpleasantness.”
A Convert to Democracy.—Benjamin
H. Bioham, of LaGrange, was an earnest,
if not sincere, Reconstructionist. He
belonged to a class that Ben. Hill
delighted to abuse. He supported recon
struction until it was a success, and until
all important'offices were disposed of. Now
he comes out in favor of- a platform that
declares all reconstruction measures “ un
constitutional, null aud void,” and of
candidates that arc pledged to “disperse
the carpet bag governments,” which he
assisted in making. Mr. Bigham evidently
feels injured and wishes a new deal.
Perhaps a new shuffle would secure for
him the control of some salt works. Ho
is now on a craft bound for Salt River.

The lion, Thomas N. Stillwell, United

J. L. Swift, both Johnson Democrats, have
returned to the Republican fold, and are
stumping for Grant and Colfax. Rumor has
it that Collector Smythe, following in the
footsteps of the illustrious Thurlow Weed,
repudiates democracy, and will declare for
Grunt as soon ns ho can read his title clear.
General Stoedman, who would have sup

repudiates Seymour. Senator Doolittle is
downcast, and has no faith in the Seymour
ticket. General Ewiug’s feathers are nil
wet, and he has stopped crowing. General
L. D. Campbell is reported to be disgusted.
Chief Justice Pearson, of North Carolina, a
Conservative, is out for Grant. The Mary

sustained Swann, have held a meeting and
declared for General Grant. Caleb Cushing
regards, the Seymour ticket with contempt.
Not a single member of tho Cabinet, or
prominent officer of the government, has
given the least intimation of intention to
support Seymour. Mr. Evarts, Mr. Seward,
Mr. McCulloch, and, so far as known, the
other members of the Cabinet, will support
Grant and Colfax.
