passing away.”

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 arc
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 tlie Republican party.
To supply in a measure this need, we will
mail Republican for any
four months prior
low rate of $1.50.
We appeal to the old supporters of the
Repubijcan to aid us in extending its
circulation. We pledge ourselvestJY devote
all our energy ahd ability to the 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 and reliable
> newspaper.

' Undignified.—Ou his own account, we
' regret to see that Judge Hiram Warner
has seen fit, in respouse to a letter signed by
a number of lawyers of Atlanta, requesting
him to accept the position of Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court, to indulge, an
' ill-temper in striking contrast with the high
. toned dignity and gentlemanly bearing which
we had always understood heretofore charnc-
> tcrized his conduct. The people remember,
if Judge Warner does not, that Chief
' Justice Brown had been repeatedly elected
i Governor ot Georgia by 'he people of the
State, and that on the score of past honors,
[ Governor Brown had superior claims to
i himself. Instead of attempting to degrade
p Judge W., as he insinuates, Governor
‘ Bullock showed his appreciation of his
character by making him one of the Associate
i Justices. His railing about having received
i the “lowest”, position would be unworthy a
11 much smaller man. The truth is, if Judge
! Warner carries with him.on the Bench tbe
k malignant spirit which this letter clearly
i exhibits, wo shall be constrained to think
that the Governor made a serious mistake in
i not selecting some other gentleman to
’ occupy the “subordinate” position.
' P. S.—Since the above was written, wc
have received yesterday's Macon Journal &
Messenger. Even that rebel jaundiced con
cern is disgusted with Judge Warner's
grumbling and assumed huffishness, and
draws the following logical inference :
If, as Judge Warner holds, his appoint
ment to the lowest place on the Supreme
Bench is an “attempt to degrade him,” does
be not consent to, and accomplish his own
degradation by the only means possible, viz:
accepting that appointment. To a-plain man
it has very much that look. f
The Goose that Lays the Goldij>- Egg.
—The Southern Democrats extend invi
. tations to colored men to barbe
cues and participate with tlieKi on a perfect
equality. Tl,!i negro has a
vote. are successful they
are pledged to tako the right to vote away
from the negro. When he is no longer a
voter is there any one silly enough to sup
pose that Democrats will then invite them
to barbecues ? It is the vote which the
black man has that makes him “our colored
friendwhen the Democrats take that
from him he will be the same “d—d negro”
be was before ho could vote. Suffrage is
the goose that lays the golden egg. t
■- - -
Another Chance.—Columbia, and other
places in South Carolina, destroyed by fire
in 1865, by General Frank Blair, have
been rebuilt. But .we charge the people to
be vigilant. Frank is again on the war
path. Wljen he pomes down South to
“disperse the State governments” he will
again apply the torch. Can the people
vote for such an incendiary ? t
• ~ W* ———
Extreme Men.—The Macon Journal &
Messenger (Democratic) is after tbe Chroni
cle & Sentinel, thusly : “A few extreme men
of our party, is decidedly rich, coming from
that source. It is its own comment and
•answer. It certainly needs none from us.”
t
Bad Habit.—The Republican is a new and
sprightly daily, published nt Columbia,
S. C- Wc would respectfully suggest to it
that clipping editorials from a cotemporary,
and publishing without giving proper credit,
ts a very bad habit. f
1500 Worth.—The editor of the Chatta
nooga Republican savg that he can refer any
enthusiastic Democrat to a gentleman in
that city who “believes SSOO worth that
Grant will be elected." +
The silly copperhead story that General
Grant escaped being cashiered by going to
Jeff. Davis, then Secretary of War, and
getting permission to resign, is nailed by
the.fact that Grant was in Oregon when ho
resigned.
NOTE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
On Friday last the House of Representa
tives rejected a bill exempting from State
taxation till foreign capital that* might,
during the succeeding years, be
invested in tlio erection and running of
manufactories. On the same
body reconsidered that vote, and the bill
finally passed. It is of the utmost im
portnneo that caplt-a! should bo invested in
this State, and that capital must cotnc
from outside the limits of Georgia. Our
people arc cither destitute of the moans or
the enterprise to embark in the business.
Probably they lack both. But money is
independent, and will not come where it is
not urgently invited and fully protected.
Therefore, it was wise in the Legislature of
Georgia to extend the invitation and
proffer the protection contained in thin
bilk
It is alleged by the opponents of this
fostering system of legislation, that it is
unjust to the home capital to exempt from
taxation that from abroad, We think not.
All well-informed persons know full well
that, without some such legislation as that
adopted on Saturday, no capital would
come to bo taxed; consequently, the State
would be without the tax and also with
out the capital. So the State loses nothing
by its liberality, but actually gains that of
which e would have otherwise been
deprived. A few large establishments,
such as this measure will doubtless cause
to be inaugurated, will give employment
to thousands of white and colored females,
who now have no employment whatever.
Skilled laborers will also be in demand.
All of this will distribute money among
the people, and benefit everybody. Be
sides, it Is a burning shame that the people
of Georgia should raise cotton, send it
across the Atlantic, and then have it
returned to us in the shape of cloths with
which to clothe our people. The people
of this State, and of the whole South, arc
now selling their cotton, paying the freight
on it to EuropCj paying the foreign
manufacturers to turn into prints, etc.,
paying for its return to this country, and
then paying the merchant a handsome
profit for his services. In other words, to
use one of the illustrations of that eminent
political economist, Henky C. Carey, of
Philadelphia : “We sell the North and the
English a rabbit for a penny, and purchase
its tail for a shilling.” This is exactly the
case with the people of the South, and
ever has been. Instead of manufacturing
our cotton, as well as growing it, we have
permitted a lot of middle men to get rich
oft us by doing our manufacturing and
charging ungodly profits.
Then let the news be heralded alfroad
that Georgia invites foreign capital, and
will foster it by protective laws. The State
not only desires money to come, but those
who own tlie money. Bring your money,
strangers, and bring your principles with
you. We wplcome you, whether you be
Democrat or Republican, native or foreign,
Jew or Gentile. Our old stock needs graft"
ing with enterprise and with liberty, f

POLITICAL NEWS.
Tho nomination of Seymour and Blair
was too much for the San Jose (California)
Patriot-, and, true to its name, it announces
its intention, to support Grant and Collax.
Gen. John L. Swift has resigned his place
as Deputy Collector in the Boston Custom
House, and will stump Maine for Grant and
Colfax until the State election.
The Albany Argus compliments Toombs
and Wise by saying that such egotistic
marplots are sure to damage any cause they
espouse.
Why is the eighteenth letter of the alpha
bet like the Presidential election of 1868 ?
Because it is the end of both Seymour and
Blair.

“Fel’r ci’zens 1 ’f I’ve don’ anythin’ ’to

The Chicago Post has the fol'owing:
“When Seymour feels the cold wind of the
3d of November blowing upon him, he will
exclaim as he exclaimed to Lincoln during
the war —‘Stop the draft !’ ”
Judge Alexander Rives, brother of the
late William C., and a well known con
servative politician of Virginia, »is out in a
letter announcing that he will support
Grant and Colfax.
The cotton crop of Alabama this year is
estimated to be worth $40,000,000. Every
boll of it was raised by negro labor, while
the “men who had been concerned in
rebellion” were talking about “extirpating”
the Union scalawags and driving the
“ lazy blacks” from tho polls.
In his speech at Memphis, Gen. Forrest
said that at the Democratic Convention he
did his best for Andy Johnson, and labored
for him with Wade Hampton, thus pro
curing him fifty votes. He significantly
added : “Since "then he has sent me my
pardon, for which I am truly thankful.”
The measurre of Democratic patriotism
was never more correctly stated than by
the notorious Captain Isaiah Rynders, in a
speech by him last week. He said ;
“He loved the American flag dearly, he
declared-, as any other man, so long as it
represented a government in the hands of
the Democratic party, and no longer.”
That is, when the Democratic party is
bdaten at the polls, then Rynders and his
party are for tearing down the stars and
stripes.
Horn John S. Carlile, who, as a member
of the Secession Convention of Virginia in
1861, signalized his devotion to the Union

West Virginia, has written a letter giving

a common school system ot intemperance

Washinoton, August 20, 1868.
At a consultation of lending Republicans,
held here lust evening, it was decided to
codpcrate with the Southern members of
the party, and urge upon the committee
authorized to indicate the necessity (if such
should arise) of Congress reassembling on
the third Monday of September, in accord
ance with the arrangements made when the
recess was taken.
There is a mass of testimony, official and
otherwise, now on file in this city, going to
show that the Benedict Arnolds in some of
.the Southern States are as malignant in
their dispositions to day as they were in
1861; and that now, as then, they are
equally determined to ruin where they
cannot rule. It is known, by the best
authority, that a movement is on foot in
the three States not represented in Congress
to vote for Presidential electors, and this
course has been adopted under instructions
from men of the Seymour and Blair style of
Democrats residing ill Northern States.
The speech of the notorious Forrest,
provoked by a proposition to do a legal act
in a lawful way, by the State authorities of
Tennessee, makes it as clear as the noonday
sun that the Rebel element is everywhere
rampant and hopeful of success this Fall;
the traitorous words of the brazen traitors of
South Carolina and Georgia have been
refichoed in the mountains of Tennessee
and on the. plains of Texas. Louisiana,
Mississippi and Alabama have responded to
the “ toot of the horn,” as Forrest signifi
cantly expresses it. These irresoonsible
men, standing alone, perhaps could be
easily put.out of harm’s way, but in the heat
of political excitement it is possible North
ern influential Democrats may urge them on
to deeds of desperation, and that in the end
they will have the support of Andrew Johnson.
It is important, then, that these revolu
tionary movements be nipped in the bud. If
there is any wholesome truth in the proverb
that the time of peace is the time to prepare
for war, there is no better opportunity to
exemplify it than now. Arm the Union men
South through the agency of the constituted
State authorities, and in this way alone it is
believed can peace be preserved. The
howling dervishes of rebeldom may con
tinue to howl, nevertheless; but, then, they
dare not bite.
The dangerous class iu the Northern cities,
egged on by Democratic leade.3, are aroused
as they have not been since they attempted
to cooperate with Lee at Gettysburg, and are
ready for almost any illegal act to secure the
election of Seymour and Blair. Their lead
ers have recently secured the inside track at
the White House, and Tom Florence is
authority for saying that they will have the
active coOperation of the President in this
campaign. The great obstacle in the way
now is, Mr. Rollins, the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue. The Attorney General
having decided that he can not be legally
removed and a successor ad interim ap
pointed, under the qualified resignation of
the Commissioner, Mr, Johnson has ex
pressed a determination to prefer charges,
which are now being prepared. If he suc
ceeds in obtaining a pliant tool as Commis
sioner, Mr. Johnson will be able to wield an
immense power for good or evil. We can
readily determine which it will be.
There was never a more forcible illustra
tion of Mr. Johnson’s penchant for med
dling in small things or to assume doubtful
powers than occurred a few weeks ago.
There are several small military companies
in the District made up mainly of colored
mon who had some fighting experience
during the late war. Their appearance
on the avenue is always the occasion of
ill-bred remarks by a certain class of un
reconstructed loungers we have in our
midst. The soldiers however, never take
any notice of these demonstrations unless
some violence is attempted—then acting
upon their Cod-given right, they defend
themselves to the best of their ability and
generally successfully. In one scrimmage
a sprig of chivalry got worsted and with
his friends complaint was laid before the
President, and he was urged io disband the
companies as being dangerous to the peace
of the community—Rebels particuiarly,
such an order was actually transmitted
through General Grant to Major General
Emory, when the latter very quietly told
the President that as marshal law did not
exist in the District, he was afraid of get
ting into trouble if he attempted to exe
cute the order. Mr. Johnson, in his haste
to save personal friends—and those friends
of the class who stood ready in 1864, to aid
Early in his demonstration upon Washing
ton, forgot for the time that there was any
other law in the premises except his own
will! And such is the acting President of
the United States to day; this man’s power
for evil depends somewhat upon the watch
ful care of Congress. As to his disposition
to do evil there can be no question. The
difficulty heretofore has been that he has
lacked a party to back him in his unlawful
proceedings ; but as matters look to day it
would appear that Johnson is likely to lead
the whole Democratic party into the camp
of. those who violated their oaths and tried
for four years to destroy the government to
which they owed allegiance. '
The new building for the Agricultural
Department, located on the island between
Tenth and Fourteenth streets, is so nearly
completed that the Commissioner has com
menced moving his office into it from the
Patent Office building. The building is
large enough to enable the Commissioner of
Agriculture to carry out the provisions of
the Act creating the Department. A space
will be devoted to each State for the special
productions thereof, so that, by a visit to the
building, a person desiring to settle in Geor
gia, for instance, can see at a glance what
the different soils of that State are capable
of producing. The museum will not only
contain specimeos of raw material, but also
all the known manufactures thereof; and
the insects, or whatever else endangers any
pirticular crop, and thereinedy for the same,
so far as is known. Particular attention will
be paid io securing choice seed for distri
bution, not indiscriminately, but judiciously,
to persons who will cultivate and supply their
immediate neighborhood, and report results
to the Department for the benefit of the
agricultural interest in general.
Since writing the above, I have received
additional information as to the designs of
the Southern Democracy. The movement
to control the negro vote through the
agency of the land holders is something
formidable. A letter writer says: “The
system of terrorism, so successfully used in
Mississippi, is now inaugurated in Tennes
see, and is much more efficient and thor
ough.” The same writer also Says “that the
land holders are, by the agency of the Ku
Klux, controlling the suffrage of the negroes,
and unless some thorough and decided action
shall be taken to vindicate the right* and
privileges of the blacks, Tennessee must
surely be lost” He also says that he has
information from a trusty sourco that the
Ku Klnx of Tennessee are thoroughly or
ganised and armed to the number of one hun
dred and sixty thousand, and that the twelve
rebel Generals lately assembled, nt NashriUc
arc leaders of too Klan, and that the osten
sible purpose of the meeting at Nashville
was not the real one, and that their fair
talk was for strategical purposes.

Bold Truths.—lt does not always re
quire bold men to utter bold truths, for
cowards, when Out of danger, often speak
very brave words. Wade Hampton, Toombs,
Forrest, Semmes, Blair, et id omne genus,
are doubtless brave enough, and they utter
what pass current in the South for “bold
truths.” But, alas 1 for the northern
democracy. They are no better help in
this fight than they were in other. They
arc afraid to repeat the “bold truths” of
these Southern braves, and they were afraid i
to take up arms in their behalf when fight- 1
ing the battles of the rebellion. The (
Southerners ought to learn, by this time, ;
that cowardly backers are not to be depen
ded upon in hours es danger.— Utica (N. J.) •
