CAMPAIGN PAPER.
The present Presidential Campaign in
volves more momentous consequences than
any previous political contest in the history
of the country. "The people of Georgia lire
deeply interested in the result, and will
therefore, look forward to the developments
of the campaign with increasing interest.
The dissemination of reliable news, aud of
sound constitutional views on the important
issues of the day are essential to the success
of the Republican party.
To supply in n measure this need, we will
mail The National Republican for any
four months prior to January 1, 1869, at the
low rale of if 1.30.
We appeal to the old supporters of the
Repuuijcan to aid us in extending its
circulation. We pledge ourselves to devote
all our energy and ability to lhe success of
the great cause in which the Union Repub
lican Party is embarked; and to spare
neither labor nor expense in making The
National Republican a useful aud reliable
newspaper.

TOOMBS’ ATTACK ON GOVERNOR
BULLOCK.
Toombs’ attack on Governor Bullock
and the people of Richmond county
deserves more a passing Abice,
because it illustrates the spirit of the
Radical Democracy, and should uyjin Hie
eyes of all-good citizens to its diabolism.
As we stated in our last issue, Toombs
denounced the people of Richmond comity
for having furnished the State its Governor
in the person of Hon. R. B. Bullock.
“YourfaZ wt kill him!'’ hissed this un
principled champion of assassination. This
was an audacious rebuke of tire citizens of
this county because they had not meted
out a fate to the Governor similar to that
of Ashburn. It was more than this : A
fiendish suggestion to all the crazy
enthusiasts and- mercenary rowdies of his
party to take the life of the .Governor.
The people of this city are familiar with
the private character of To»m tis, and also
of Governor Bullock. Politics aside, they
know the Governor to be a sober, moral
and honest man. Toombs is neither sober,
moral or honest, and the Democrats of this
county know it.
As to his abuse and threats against the
life of the Governor and prominent leaders,
the advocates of violence may just as well
understand, first as last, that the Repub
can party will protect their chosen leaders.
The consequences be on the heads of those
who inaugurate violence. Retribution will
be speedy and certain. Peace is what we
want. Protection is what we will have, t
Who is Governor?—Bex. Hill says that
Charles J. Jenkins is the lawful Governor
of Georgia. The reason advanced for this
opinion is, that Congress had no right to
establish a State Government, and that that
now in existence is a usurpation. Congress
certainly has as much power in the premises
as had President Johnson. If Congress had
no power, neither had the President, ami it
foUuws, if Bullock is a usurper, so is
Jenkins. Johnson established the Govern
ment of 18G5, and Congress (aided by
Johnson), that of 1868. If one is illegal,
so is the other, and Ben will have to move
back a peg, and declare that Hon. Joseph
E. Brown is the “true Governor of Georgia.”
_____ ' 1
Absurd.—The leaders of the. Seymour
party affect to believe that the Northern
people will assist them In “dispersing the
Southern State Governments." How ab
surd to suppose that the. Nortlicvn people
would fight to give the black man freedom,
, voluntarily give him the ballot, ’and then
turn round and fight to take it away from
him. The Yankees, as they are snceringly
termed, are pretty good fighters, but they
are not quite so tend of it as that. f
How Rkplelicaxs Run.—Ben. Hili.
said, in bis speech on Thursday night, that
the Republicans would “ run like dogs."
; He said the same thing of them soveu
1 years ago. The utterance was untrue then
and it is equally untrue now.. He took
■ good care not to risk his carcass in danger
' then, and will take the same care in the
, future. f

Wenches and “Our Slaves."—TooNbs,
on Thursday night, classed all colored women
as “wenches.” He evidently thinks they are
all as destitute of virtue as himself. He also
spoke of “our alaw” t
“Cbas. J. Jenkins is the true Governor
of Georgia,” quoth Bkn Hill. Then why
. did you make such an effort to cleet Gen.
Gomdon last spring ? t.
TO CONSERVATIVES.
It is not essential that a supporter of
Gbakt and Colfax should be a Republi
can, nor a believer in the constitutionality
of the Reconstruction Acts, nor in the
wisdom and justice of colored suffrage.
A citizen may believe the cardinal princi
ples of the Republican party to be erro
neous, the requirements of Congress unrea
sonable and unjust, colored suffrage wrong,
and yet consider it his duty to support
General (Ibant for President. In short,
many good men agree entirely in theory
with the Democrats, and yet consider it a
sacred duty to vote and work against their
candidate for the Presidency. Why?
Because the Democratic platform, the
declarations of Blaib, and of Toombs,
and Hill, and Hampton, and Foubest,
propose war as a remedy for these ceils.
lienee, every person that votes that ticket
declares, by such vote, that lie, too, favors
war. There is no escape from this conclu
sion. The Fourteenth Article is a part of
the Congressional plan. Congress, the
President, and the Supreme Court have
’ recognized it as an integral part of the
Constitution of the United States. There
• is no possible way to set aside the require
i ments of this amendment, nor to ignore
, the Southern State Governments that par
, ticipated in its adoption, except by the
desperate and uncertain rcnicdy of revolu
tion. This, Blaib proposes to do. This,
1 Toombs and Hill, by their arguments,
■ advocate.
F Now the question for the white men of
Georgia to determine is this: Do-tbey
! prefer another war, with nil its horrors, to
permitting; the black man to vote ? Are
the lessons of tlic past to be taken for
1 naught? Seven years ago, Hill and
’ Toombs induced the people to go to war
■ to secure to the South the right to carry
their slaves into the territories. The
people shed oceans of blood in this contest.
Wives were made widows, children or-
1 phans, persons hi affluence beggare. What
■ was the result ? Did the South secure her
" “ rights in the territories ?” No ; but she
lost her right to slavery in the States,
which had never before been qucstioncil
Thus the South did not gain what she
1 fought for, but lost what she bad.
! Now war is again prejiosod, and by
whom ? The identical politicians that
hurried the South into the last unsuccess
ful contest. What assurance have the
' Democrats that they will be any more suc
cessful in the next war. War is a desper
ate remetly, and even the party that is vic
torious arc incalculable sufferers. But there
, is ho possible chance of success by a resort
: to the bayonet. If the South could not
s whip the Government when the negroes
. were all in slavery, and when the whites
i were almost unanimous, and when her
leaders had made the most unlimited prep
arations, how can she expect to succeed
. When the blacks arc free and figjiting lor a
right which the country has guaranteed to
them, and when the whites can not be
united ? It is all well enough to talk
about “dying in the last ditch," etc. Such
boasts sound well; but the experience of
the past proves that those who use' such
expressions take care to keep away frdm
any sort of ditches for fear they should
accidentally find the “last” one.
We spent to Georgians who have wives
and children to Care for, and prefer other
bnslncss to fighting. The old leaders of
the South are Radical. They propose the.
most Radical measures—force. General
Ghan-e is no Radical. He is not an ex
treme man. He is generous and brave.
We beseeeh the white men of Georgia to
trust him. He is tor peace. He has no
hard feelings toward the people of the
South. He feels that the authors of the
late war were bad men. Georgians! You
think so, too. f
Wiiat a Democrat Says.—A Democrat,
who fought four years for the Confederacy,
remarked to us yesterday: “I don’t think
the negroes ought to have been allowed ter
vote; but I’ll bo d—d if I intend to go tg
war to take the ballot away from them. I
shall vote for Grant." Sensible Demo
crat! t
Should Have Said It.—The .Griffith.

Grant Tanneries.—ln 1856 the “Wide-
Awakes” did a great deal to arouse popular
entkusiasm..for Fremont and aid tho chances
of his election. In 1860 the ‘•Rail-Splitters”
helped to create enthusiasm for the great
rail-splitter, Lincoln, who was twice elected
President. In 1840 the “Log Cabin aud
Hard-Cider" entbusiasm brought about the
election of General Harrison. In the same
way the companies of “Tanners, which
bare lately been organized in the West, aad
which are establishing “Tanneries' in
hundreds of townsand cities,-are going to
give opportunity for the expression of the
pent-up popular enthusiasm for the great
Galena tanner and rebel tanner, who is
'destined to be ottr next President. We
ought to have at least 50,000 tanners in this
city, carrying on their political operations
from now till November in at least a hundred
tanneries.—N. K Times, 18<A.
* -->«a
fJrißit of the .Convention. —\ r allandig'
ham says the New York Convention was
“ imbued wi'h the spirit that went forth on
the natal morn when Christ was born.” The
operations of that spirit are described on
unquestionable authority iu these words :
Than Herod was exeqedfog wroth, aud sent
forth and: slew oil the children that were in
Ifotblohcm, ui in all lhe coatis thereof, from
two years old and under.!’
Imbued with this spirit, -the New York
Convention chose as their candidate the
“friend" of the men who. roasted young
orphans iu 1863, and the man whose only
.claim to uoaiinaUoii was in hto propoenl so
inaugurate another revolution at the South
if the Tammany ticket is elected.

The Georgia Legislature*
Atlanta, .August 20, 1868.
SENATE.
Mr. Hurns moved to suspend the rules

lating municipal elections, which was
referred to the Judiciary Committee.
The Judiciary Committee, to whom was

the Superior Courts at the ensuing fall
terms, and provide juries therefor, reported
in favor of the passage.
The report of the committee was agreed
to. The bill was read the third time and
passed.
Mr. Smith, of the 7th, moved to take up
a joint resolution adopted by the House,
authorizing the Treasurer to pay the amount
due by the State to the Bowden College,
for the education of indigent and maimed
soldiers.
Mr. Jones moved that the Senate do now
go into Executive session.
Mr. Winn hoped the motion of Mr. Jones
would not prevail.
The motion to go into Executive session
prevailed.

ing nominations were confirmed:
Middle Circuit—Win. Gibson, of Rich
mond county, Judge.

of Augusta.
Mr. Bryant spoke at some length in sup
port of the motion to reconsider.
Mr. Shumate followed in opposition to
the motion to reconsider, and on conclud
ing called the previous question, but, at
the earnest solicitation of Mr. Tweedy,
withdrew it.
Mr. Tweedy then addressed the House in
favor of the motion to reconsider, and at
the close of his remarks renewed the call
for tho previous question, which being
