CAMPAIGN PA PEC.
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 view's 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, 1869, 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 OU{ energy and ability to the success of
the great cause in which the Union Repub
lican Party is and to spare
neither labor nor expense in making The
National Republican a useful and reliable
n ewspaper.

ATTEND TO HOME MATTERS.
It is asserted by usually well informed
diplomatists in Washington, says our cor
respondent in that city, that our Govern
ment has determined to assist JUABEa in
quelling the turbulent factions in Mexico,
and, in return, the United States expects a
gift of a portion of the northern territory
of that coiintry. General Hoskcuanz’s
instructions are made to conform to the
above line of policy.— N. Y. Tribune.
Thisproposedimpertinent intermeddling
in the affairs of Mexico by -the President
deserves the sternest rebuke. Where he
obtains the authority to interfere in the
fighting, assassinating and robbing pastime
of those Mexican Greasers we can not im
agine. It is none of tnir business to be
taking sides with any ot the brutal and
unprincipled factions of that country. As
to tlie proposed “return” for our meddle
someness, of a “gift of a portion of the
northern territory ot that country,” dis
creet people would rather be excused. We
have more citizens at present in that lati
tude than behave well, and more territory
than is well governed. The Mexican war
was ong of the numerous outrages of the
Democratic party, and the acquisition of
Texas n public misfortune. Speaking of
interference, the condition of affairs in.the
latter State demands the prompt interfer
ence of the President. An interference
> there would l>e legitimate. But Mr. John
son "can’t sec it.” Like the naughty old
boy that he is, he leave* undone those things
which he ought to do and insists on doing
the very things he has no right to. Tire
lawlessness of the Ku-Klux is a legitimate
‘ cause for the interference of the People’s
President for the protection of the rights
i and the lives of the people. t
Don’t Fail. —Let no reader of the Re
publican fiul to carefully peruse an article
from Harper's Weekly, under the heading,

Seymour and Blair we have seen. Read
’ it,- and induce every business man of your
acquaintance to do likewise. f
The World Moves.—We are creditably
informed that several active young Demo
crats, who have heretofore been “heavy”
in their denunciation of social equally, on
Monday night went into a bar-room not
many blocks from the Post Office with
several black men, called for drinks, and
tipped glasses most fajniliajly with the
newly enfranchised.

Willingham vs. Pendlkton.—The fussy
editor of the La Grange Reporter calls the
conqueror of tlie rebellion a “weak-minded,
sottish creature,” not “fit for a Justice of
the Peace.” The ablest and most popular
Democrat in the United States
very different opinion in a speech at Ban
gor, Me., on Thursday night last. George
H. Pendleton says that General Grant
"lias stood the test of success,” and has
.“borne himself with modesty and magna
nimity in his high office” of General of the
‘ Armies. Does not every reasonable man
' know that Mr. Pendleton would not have
i made this statement if it were not true?
Take back your slander, Willisoiiam. j
Handsome Compliment.—ln introducing
i as article from a late number of the
Republican, the Providence (R. I.) Press
pays os the following handsome compli
ment :
“We clip the following from the Na
tional Republican, Augusta, Ga., one of
our most straightforward, honest and
earnest of oar Southern exchanges. It is
from the pen of its editor, and depicts n
state of things to vr'iich we have repeatedly
colled the attention of our readers. While
such faithful loyalists remain in the South
to sound the alarm and expose the designs
of the rebels, we have little fear of the
success of their plans.” |
PARTISAN RANCOR.
One of the most revolting exhibitions of
partisan rancor .which the present ex
•traordinary canvass has produced is
found in a recent speech by Howell Cobb,
of Georgia. He says:
The doors are wide open —wide enough and
broad enough to receive every white man .in
Georgia, unless you should discover him coming
to you creeping and crawling under the Chicago
platform. Upon them there should bo no mercy.
They have dishonored themselves and sought to
dishonor you. Amatbematize them. Drive
them from the pale of social and political society.
Mr. Cobb, or rather Gen. Cobb, for he
was a high officer in the rebel army, is
another of those paroled prisoners who
ought to wait till they have been duly
exchanged by the Confederate Government
before they begin to talk so fiercely about
what they intend to do.
Gen. Cobb seems to forget that, thanks
to the Boys in Blue, this is still a free
country, and that every citizen of Georgia
or elsewhere has a perfect right to de
termine to what political party he will
attach himself, and for what candidates he
will give his vote. He fo”getH also that,
but for the magnanimity of the United
States Government, ho wonld long since
have been put so far beyond “ the pale of
social and public society,” that he would
never have been heard from again in this
world. . .
It argues a very bad condition of mind,
when these paroled prisoners in Georgia
are moved to denounce disorder and out
lawry against their fellow citizen# which
have chosen to place themselves upon a
political platform wlfch the paroled pris
oners dislike. It would seem that the
latter have not yet been sufficiently chas
tised.
We extract the above .severe but just
<emarks from the editorial columns of the
New York Sun, a neutral newspaper. It
presents in a clear light the unblushing
impudence of the old party leaders who
are at this hour the paroled prisoners of a
country they have vainly attempted to
destroy. If the above-quoted remarks ot
Cobb produces such unlfappy impressions
on the mind of the editor of the Sun, we
can scarcely conceive what could have
been his indignation had he listened to the
addressof that chief of traitors and prince
of blackguards, Robert Toombs, on
Thursday night last. lie gloried in every
thing lie had done against his country, and
belabored his wudicnce for not having
heretofore killed or driven out every Re
publican in this city. He had trampled
on the American flag, and threatened to
repeat the indignity. His remarks were
so vulgar and profane, and applied to gen
tlemen occupying such’ exalted positions,
that we doubt whether John Allen, “the
wickedest man in New York,” would have
tolerated them in his dance-house. War
and blood was the beginning and end of
the harrangue.
We rejoice that such papers as the Sun
arc directing the attention of the people ot
the North to the character which the
Southern campaign is assuming. Not only
tlie freedom of the black race is involved
in its results, but the life of every white
man here who supports General Grant.
Cobb says “there shall be no mercy” tor
such; Hill says the Democrats will run
the Grant men “like dogs” after the elec
tion ; Toombs curses and swears because
they have not already been killed. Are
the Northern Democrats willing to see the
white men of the South who support
Grant molested ? Should not a citizen
have the liberty of lieing a Republican in
Georgia as well as elsewhei’e ? The Dem
ocratic leaders here attempt to deprive
them of that liberty, and every vote that
Seymour receives, cither North or South,
sea vote to crush the freedom of speech
and of conscience in all the Southern
States. +
The Atlanta New Era.—The editor of
the Era is again stammering away with
innuendoes about certain ambitious leaders
in the Republican party, whom, it alleges,
are determined to rule or ruin. Who does
he mean? Why deal in insinuations? If
there are such men, why not point them out,
so that an outraged Republican population
can visit them with the contempt tlfey
deserve? If Grant should be defeated in
Georgia, many ihtelligent gentlemen will
doubtless trace such a misfortune to the
sanctum of the Era. Its recent recommend
ation of Alexander H. Stephens for the
United States Senate, and his fulsome
endorsement of Dr. Miller, the Democratic
Senator elect, has had a bewildering and
demoralizing effect in the Legislature, if not
among the people. A paper with sincere
convictions is much needed at Atlanta.
Thera is nothing like Ueliesir.g that one is
advocating the Right. t

Rant.—The World is careful not to pub
lish the revolutionary speeches of its South
ern adherents, but it mildly deprecates
these utterances and says: “A few men in
the South choose to rant. Why should’nt
they rant if they want to? Isn’t this a free
country? And if they do rant, is that any'
reason why we should submit for another

The Election in Kentucky—-The Glorious
Democratic Victory—Mr. Nosing's Account
Thereof.
J i
Post Offis, Confedrit X Roads, 1
(Wich is in the State uv Kentucky), >
*■ August 6, 1868. )
Es the Amerikin eagle is in the habit uv
‘screemin at Democrat victories she kin now
test her capacity to the fullest extent.
The election in Kentucky resulted more
gloriouser than ever we hed anticipated.
Eighty thousand majority is a big thing,
and we knowd it, but we felt that the eye
uv the Dimocrisy wuz onto us, and we did
our level best. We wanted to inspire the
Democricy uv the North: to set cm a
example in fact wich would awaken in em
emutashun. The election at the Corners
wuz the same ez the others in the State, so
in writin the history uv this wun lam
writin the history uv all.
We lied held a series uv meetins, all wich,
with the exception uv Elder Pennibacker’s
obstinacy, wuz harmonious and effective.
Gov. Seymour's letter wuz a great help to
Os. I bed been afraid that he mite say
suthin in it wich wood bother us, but when
got it I exclaimed halleloogy I He hedn’t
sed a thing I He hedn’t fetched any uv
the questions at ishoo, and konsekently
coodn’t give no offense to nobody. Bascom
took it, and swore that ho wuz satisfied
from readin it in connection with his
Cooper Instoot speech, that ho wuz in favor
uv pajrin the bonds in gold, while Penni
backer wuz quite as well satisfied, from
readin in connection with the platform and
Pendleton’s speeches, that he wuz in favor
uv payin the bonds in greenbax.
They got to dispootin over it, and referred
the matter to me. Imitating Seymour, I
never sed a word about bonds and greenbax,
but went off into a most elokent denunsia
shun ov Joodis Iskariot. It’s always safe to
abooze Jud is, ez there ain’t nobody nowhere
to defend him.
“But,” sed they in korus, “does he perpose
to pay the bonds in gold or greenbax.”
Smilin benignantly onto em, ez Seymour
did at the Convenshun, I replied in these
words: “My friends—for you are my friends
—let us confine ourselves to livin ishoos.
Let me ask you ez patriots, and in on who
hev the best interests of the country at heart,
do yoo want yoor daughters to marry nig
gers?” ‘ ‘
“Never I” sed they, strikin tables, “never!”
and they rushed out in the street boilerin
“ ’Rah for Seymour.”
Sich portions of the letter, however, ez
fitted Our case I red to em. That paragraff
into which he bewails the condishun uv men
like us at the Corners, which he styles the
intelligence uv the South, Kernel McPelter
and I red to every one at the Corners, we
bein all wich kin read ; and the paragraff in
wich be denounces the men who assert that
Union, men ain’t permitted to live in peace
in the South I red the first time to twenty or
thirty uv our people who had just returned
from a raid onto the settlement uv Aboli
tionists over on the Pike run. Young Issaker
Gavitt was so affected that he shed tears,
wipin bis eyes with a handkerchief he took
from the body uv a Yoonyun man wich he
had just shot in the presence uv his family,
which refoosed to leave the settlement.
The eleeshun went ofl* magnificently.
Never did I see in all my experience, which
hez bin very grate, sich extensive prepara
shuns made. Bascom’s bar was free. Deekin
Pogram, Kernel' McPelter, and myself, one
uv which bolds a government offis, and the
other two expect to, hed a barrel ol new
eleeshun whiskey purchist, which Elder
Peiinibacker, notwithstanding his dlsaffec
shun, furnisht at cost, Vhich was 22 cts. per
gallon, ez no tax hez ever bin pade in this
district.
I opened the polls, usin for the purpose a
; hat, and the votin commenst lively. I put
in two ; Bascom slip! in three under differ
ent names, and the other faithful ones voted
ez many times ez they thot necessary. About
ten o’clock Pollock came up to vote, at
- which I wuz surprised. When 1 say sur
prised 1 mean it. The very presence uv the
man at sich a time and place was startlin,
and it hed a terrible effect on the populis.
“Watl” sed Issaker Gavitt, indignantly,
i “shel a Illinoy Ablishnist —a man not born
in Kentucky—a man who holds views so
totally different from ourn, persoom to vote at
f these ere poles? Never!”
And Issaker, bilin over with rage, went
1 for liim, in which h$ wuz assisted by the
3 entire balauce uv the Corners. The wretched
i, man paid a heavy penalty for his insolence.
a He wuz carried off by some sympathisin
j niggers, a mere wreck uv his lowier self.
A little later the “Yoonyun men,” ez they
> call themselves, upon Pike Run, come down
i to vote. But Issaker and McPelter reasoned
r with em. Kernel McPelter’s remarks wuz
, pertikejlerly impressive. They asserted that
ez American citizens they hed a rite to vote,
' and shood do so at all hazards. Tire-Kernel
' stated in reply that the Corners wuz .a fitin
for her liberties—that no matter wat their
abstrack rites mite be the Corners oood not
permit herself to be contaminated with Ab
lisbiit votes. “Shood you attempt it,” sed
■ he impressively, “the blood uv the Corners
I will be up; and I won’t be answerable for the
t consequences. Beware 1”
They pressed forerd, when from among
our people a single shot wuz heard, and the
• head of one of em, a preacher, fell within
3 the dust.
I pitied the poor wretch, but wat kin we
do? Why will they coqie about us, irritatin
our people with their incenjinry votes ? That
man hed a -family. Wat reason will he give
them, when he’s carried home dead, for his
ontiuiely decease? Its ever thus. The Ab
-1 lishnists will never let us alone. And yet 1
’. spose that a hirelin and subsidized press in
the North, in the face of the provocashen we
received, will accuse as of murderin this
man I
Our nmbishen wuz to have the vote
clean Dimekraiie. But it wuz not so.
About 1 p. m., Joe Bigler, who bed heerd
’ uv the dooins, come to the polls. Issaker
and McPelter wuz a goin to prevent him
‘ from votin, but the villain drawd a revolver
the niinit they lookt at him, and they
parted, makin a laae for him to the bat.
“Does any one challenge my vote?” sed
‘ he, cockin his weepon. “Es so, let em
speek-”
But no one interfeered, and I took it.
When we countid out, there wuz barely
one Ablishun ballot in the hat. It wuz
Bigler’s. But we were ncer enuff yoonani
mus, and we propose to keep so. The
process is simple. It consists merely in
•shootin all who differ with us. Thus we
hev peace 'at home.
Qnr politikle prospecks are mixed. The
redaekshen uv the tax on whisky inclined
many uv our voters-toward Rep.ublikinism,
■ but I headed this off by swearin that the
• Democricy wuz pledged to take it off
’ altogether. The Northern papers assertin
1 that Blare's letter don’t mean revoloosben
1 is hurt in us some, but that, is more than
balluuced by the ease with wich we- kin
’’ organize. Yesterday an entire regiment in
’ the Confedrit servis reorganized as a
Seymour aud Blare Club—retainiu their
officers ez doorin the war, and yoosin the
indentikle rolls, flags and sich. It aids us
1 wonderfully.

IHE WAY TO WAR.
How a Democratic success at the election
would occasion civil war is easily seen. Gen,
Blair does not hesitate to avow it. Congress
must be wholly disregarded. The Supreme
Court must not be invoked. The President
must usurp all powers of the Government
and act alone. He must be a Ciesar.
"Because,” says General Blair iu his letter,
“if the President elected by the Democracy
enforces, or permits others to enforce, these
Reconstruction acts, the Radicals, by the
accession of twenty spurious Senators and
fifty Representatives, will control both
branches of Congress, and his administration
will be as powerless as the present one of
Mr. Johnson.” Force it, therefore, the only
alternative.
, If Mr.'Seymour’be elected, after this loud
and reiterated declaration by his party that
his election will mean forcible overthrow of
the present State governments in the South
ern States, the result is evident. He would
officially declare those governments void.
He would then be impeached ttod probably
convicted. But the Democratic party, vic
torious at the polls, with the whole rebel
force jubilant and_ ready, would dispute the
sentence, and rise against its execution.
Meanwhile in the Southern States, the new
Democratic State organizations summoned
by the President would be formed. They
would dispute the State authority with the
present incumbents. The President would
recognize the new claimants and order the
army to their support, and to “trample in
the dust” the others. They in turn would
appeal to Congress, already engaged in
conflict with the President. Meanwhile the
Representatives and Senators sent from the
new State organizations would arrive in
Washington, and in concert with the other
Democratic members would be recognized
as Congress by the President. But, indeed,
long before this event civil war would be
ravaging the country, and Wade Hampton,
and Robert Toombs, and Howell Cobb, and
the old rebel chiefs who say with Albert
Pike, “We do not love and will not pretend
to love that Union, though we have agreed
to obey the laws of the conqueror,” would
gladly behold in a desolating war and a
ruined republic the fullness of their revenge.
This is the real issue. It cannot be
denied, for the Democratic party exultingly
declares it. It cannot be evaded, for the
experience of the last few years has taught
us that we have as desperate and dangerous
elements as any country at any time. It is
the relapse of the rebellion, and a relapse
of disease is often fiercer than its original
attack. There was never a moment when
the utmost effort of every faithful citizen
was more indispensable than now to the
salvation of the country. On the one hand
is General Grant, with his moderation, his
firmness, his tried patriotism* his singular
sagacity, his signal illustration of the
finest qualities of the intelligent American ;
and with him Schuyler Colfax, who has
never said a word or done an act that can
inspire the least distrust, and who is in full
accord with the best and most peaceful ane
progressive tendencies of the country.
They are the candidates of those who would
do the best that the circumstances
allow ; who would reconstruct the
Union upon equal rights; who would
neither ostracise nor revenge; who
would not exasperate the jealousies of race,
but who would neither betray the tried
friends nor the pledged faijh of the country.
They are the candidates of the great body
of citizens of proved patriotism, intelli
gence, industry, and of a peaceful mind
obedient to law. On the other hand is Mr.
Seymour, a plausible politician, for whose
•uecess the rebels in arms prayed four years
ago; who preferred that the Union should
perish rather than slavery, and who de
clared the success of the Government to be
as revolutionary as that of the rebellion.
With him is General Blair, whose remedy
the situation is the naked sword. They
are tho candidates of all who hate the
Union and who sought and seek its dis
honor; of those who thought the war a
crime, and demanded that the Government
should yield to the rebellion; of those who
would break the public word to the public
creditor-; of those who would put the late
slave, always loyal, under the feet of his
always rebel master ; the candidates of the
ignorant and lawless every where in the
land.
Let every man be alert. There is no
doubt of the issue or of the candidates.
And when once they are understood there
i is no doubt of the country and of the result.
