CAMPAIGN PAPisil.
The present Presidential campaign in
volves more momentous consequences than
any 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 c.oustitiitional views on the important
issues of the day are essential to tho 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 our energy and ability to the success of
the great cause in which the JJuion Repub
lican Party is and to spare
neither labor nor expense in muffing Tub
National Republican a useful and reliable
newspaper.
Specimen copies sent free to any address,
ENTERPRISE.
Our lengthy dispatches this morning de*
monstrate the earnestness of our determina
tion not to be behind any of our cotempora
ries in enterprise, The Republican is fully
up to the times in all matters pertaining to
the profession. We shall continue to print, a
live newspaper—publishing all the news
and fearlessly criticising men and measures.
The wauls of the public will be fully sup
plied in every particular. f
THE PRESIbENFS POSITION.
We have never believed that Andrew
Johnson could become a party to the rev
olutionary programme concocted at New
York on the 4th of July. While his aban
donment of flic principles and organiza
tion of the Republican party was unpar
donable and notorious, wc rcmeinlfered to
bis credit that in all messages and <loch
inente lie always insisted that the rebellion
was wrong, and that its crushing out was
a righteous duty. True, he falsely accused
Hemnf.h and Stevens with being traitors;
but lie has not once said tliut'Uouß, and
Toombs, and Hampton, were patriots.
Whatever may bo said against him, there
is no doubt that he is a man of pugnacious
pluck, and of too much pride of charac -
ter to imitate Montgomery Biant, by inti
mating that lie might have been wrong in
standing by the flag of his country in her
Imur of great peril, His policy, too, and
tliat of tiic New York Convention, are
totally variant. The Prwidcht believed
tho Reconstruction laws unconstitutional)
but he did not believe it his duty to disre
gard their requirements. It was Andrew
Johnson’s acts, as President, which gave
vitality to those laws. He enforced them.
He has recognized the State Governments
M Un: regular State Governments of the
Southern States. On the other band, the
plan of tlie Democratic party is for .thp
new President to disregard the 14th Arti
cle, repudiate the Reconstruction laws of
Congress, and overturn the legal State
• Governments of the South. All this vio
lence is to be inaugurated on the mere
motion of the President, without, reference
to the decisions of the Supreme Court or
the concurrence of Congress. To state the
difference between the President and the
Democracy in a sentence: The former exe
cutes laws and recogjiizcs as valid govern-,
nients which the latter would repudiate
anti tnanple in the dust. If the Pres
ident thought the Blair programme was
right or proper, he Wftuld have at
tempted it himself.
The President's late personal quarrel
with General Grant, and the bitterness of
the impeachment trial, may deter him front
coming out unequivocally for the poaec
candidate: but we repeat our conviction
that Sevmovk will not receive one particle
of aid from the Administration. This
, opinion is strengthened by un announce
ment made at a recent public meeting nt
Memphis by General Forhlst. Hi said;
t ‘T have a letter in my pocketirom Wash
; ington, aud I am sorry to learn front it
i that Mr. Johnson is said to have, gone
s against the Democratic party aud against
. the South."
1 Tims tlie evidence accumulates all
■ sides that Skymocr ami Blair will l»e
[ hopelessly defeated—that the last effort of
I the rebel leaders at the polls will .be more
t diswtrous than was their appeal to arms.

C’J.V COJA}ln:i) men HOLD
OFFICE?
The self-styled “best friends” of tho
negro, in the Georgia House of Representa
tives, yesterday, took preliminary measures
to unseat over twenty colored members of
that body. As we stated would be the case
a few days since, the Committee on Privi
leges and yesterday, reported
favorably on a resolution ousting Fyall,
colored Representative from the county of
Macon. Duncan, a Houston comity Demo
crat, elected by hegro votes, moved a
substitute, including all the colored mem
bers. Scott, of Floyd, then raised the
»point of order that none of the colored
members should vote. Phk% the Demo
cratic Speaker, pro ieui., seems to have
been conveniently in the Chair —Speaker
McWhorter, for whom every colored
member voted, being absent—to sustain
the point. All these proceedings are of the
most high-handed and outrageous char
actor. They are in flagrant violation of
the Constitution of the .State, and without
a parallel for unscrupulous audacity ;
The reader will bear in mind, while
considering this matter, that the question
is nos whether the negro should have the
right to hold a seat in the House of Repre
sentatives of the State; but whether he
actually pos«ssot< that right under the Con
stitution. The question is not: Will you
<jire the negro the right to hold office. It
is: Has he already got it? If the first
.question was the one for'thc Legislature to
decide, there would be legitimate cause for
its discussion, and those unwilling to •ex
tend to them that privilege would receivt
no denunciation from the Republican.
But that is not the issue. The'House
cannot settle it. It was fixed by the Con
vention and ratified by the people. The
Convention of Georgia, which every mem
ber of the House took a solemn oath to
support, determines the eligibility of mem
bers. The matter is decided so decidedly
that we doubt cither the sense or sincerity
of those who profess to believe that'a negi’o
has no right to hold office. Wc quote
Paragraph 3, Section 3, Article 3, of the
Constitution.
“The Kepresenlativcs shall be citizens of the
United States, who have attained the ago of
twoaty-one years, and who, after tho first elec
tion under this Constitution, have been citizens
of this State for one year, and for six months
resident of tho counties from which elected.”
Now, who arc “citizens ?” This question
is not left in doubt by the Constitution of the
State. The “Deehiratron of Fundamental
Principles,” Article I, Section 2, declares—
“lf. All pernons born or naturaJtzed in the
United Sfhtes, and resident in this State; aro
hereby declared citizens of this State, and no
laws shall bo made or enforced which shall
abridge tho privilege or immunities of citizens
of tho United States, or of this State, or deny so
any person within its jurisdiction tho equal pro
tection of its laws,” etc. •
So we have the solemn affirmation of . tho
fundamental law ol the. Slate, that all “p> f
sons burn or naturalize.! jo the United
States” ’ are “citizens.’’ 'Ulis includes the
negro. But we have even higher authority
for asserting that the black man is a citizen.
Section Ist, of the Fourteenth Article of the
Constitution of the United Stales, reads ;
“All persons born or naturalized in tho United
State*, and subjeot to the juris lietion thereof,
aro citizens of the United : tales and of the State
wherein they reside.”
(Jottld language i>e plainer I The Con
stitution of the United States and of
Georgia declares that all "■persons" born or
naturalized in this country are “citizens,”
and the Constitution says all Citizens” of
a certain age, and with certain qualifications
as residents, Qanlsc members of the House
of Representatives. Unless the Democrats
accept the blasphemous sj>eculation of
‘•Ariel,’’ they must admit that negroes are
both “persons’’ and “citizens,”
The Democrats profess to find authority
for ousting the colored members in that
part of the Constitution which says that
“each House shall be the judge of the
ejection returns and qualifications of its
members.’' This is the most shameless
pretence. It only gives ■‘each House”
authority to decide certain questions of
/ttcZ .•
First, whether :t person claiming a seat
was fairly elected :
Second,- whether he is eligible under the
paragraph oj tkc Conditutiou which tee
luioe already quefsd, to-f Wit: Whether he is
a citizen twenty-one years of age, and also,
whether he is not disqualified by tkc 14th
article, or a convicted felon or traitor?
That is the extent of the power granted to
each Honsc! They cun not set up new
qualifications, Tl;c colored citizens of
Georgia certainly have the right, to hold
seats in the Legislature if they cart get
votes enough - Whether they should have
had that right, we repeat, is not a matter
for discussion at this time. The Democrats
know this, bat Frank Blair has sent them
on tho rampage, and there is no tolling
where they will stop. f
SciiuYi.Kß Colfax —Ax Incijbbxt.—There
is an incident in tho life of Schuyler Colfax
which will be viewed now with especial
interest. On Juno 21, 1856, Mr. Colfax
delivered a remarkable address on the
“Bogus Laws of Nebraska,” which was a
word-for-word quotation, clause after clause,
of the infamous code of that territory, with
Explanations of its operations. One clause
in this monstrous system of laws declared it
to be “illegal for any person to say that it
was wrong to bold slaves,” aud subjected
that offence to the penalty of wearing “a ball
and chain to the ankle.” To give point to
his speech, Mr. Colfax produced from bis
desk one of the regulation iron bails, weigh
ing thirty pound's, and apologized for the
absence of the six feet of chain belonging
to it. Mr. Alexander H. Stephens, the sub
sequent Vice President of the .ConleJeraey,
desired to inspect the article, when Mr. Col
fax courteously handed it to the gentleman,
ai d obliged him to hold it while the South
Bend printer explained its use.
This rcminiseenco illustrates well the war
which so short time ago the friends of free
dom were necessitated to wage against
slavery anti tire brutality of the system they
attacked. Mr. Colfax's practical method of
argument, and his shrewd but courteous
strategy, forcing Mr. Stephens into the posi
tion of an assistant lecturer on the barbarism
of slavery, are eminently characteristic of
the man.— Phila. Press. ’

CONGHESSIONAL ELECTION IN
GEORGIA.
Hepublictm Conventions .will be held
shortly, in the several Congraisional
Districts of this State, to nominate Repub
lican candidates for Congress. The vote
for General Grant in Georgia will be
iniltienced greatly by the character of the
Fomtnees selected in each District.
ft is of the very highest importance to
select men of talent, character and courage
to bear aloft the banner of Peace and of
Lilierty. Let the party have it understood
that our candidates in each District shall
oil with their gloves, and thoronghly
canvass every county. We know that such
a canvass will be perilous; but duty is
often Every man owes his life
to the country, ij' that life is necessary to
No mfiii is worthy a seat in Congress
who is not willing to risk his life in defence
of the principles of his party. Our cause
is just—our leaders must have pluck.
Some of the Democratic organs have
already proclaimed that the Republican
Icadets must be “struck down.” We must
choose leaders who neither fear .the club
of the rowdy nor the dagger of the assas
sin. While our candidates should possess
this courage, they should likewise be men
of sufficient discretion to always have the
law on their side. Such leaders will always
have thousands to protect them.
If the party should not make character
and courage a requisite in choosing its
candidates, the personal danger of the
campaign will be greatly increased, and
the probabilities of defeat will be such as
to delight Democrats.
Rowdies arc ever ready to attack
chicken-hearted persons; but they are
rather cautious about interfering with, men
of well-proved metal. Bullies arc remark
able good judges as to who it is safe to
insult. f “A word to the wise is sufficient.”.
We tTcsirc to state that, iu penning this
brief article, we are not the advocate or
opponent of any particular man for Con
gress, in any District in the State. Our
only desire is to have the State thoroughly
canvassed by men of nerve. t

[From tho Atlanta Intelligencer.
The Georgia Legislature.
Atlanta, August 25, 1868.
SENATE.
The Senate met pursuant to adjournment.
Mr. Wooten gave notice that he would
move to reconsider so much of the Journal
of yestejiay as relates to the rejection of a
bill grassing to two fire companies in the
city certain privileges and exemp
tions- nßfttly wished the bill reconsidered
as an a.4 bf courtesy to the Senator who
intnidiicjFthe measure and is now absent.
Mr. Woolen also advocated the reconsidera
tion. J
Mr. Merrill advocated reconsideration.
Mr. Witin opposed the reconsideration,
lie said that privileges granted to two or
three fire companies, composed of two
hundred members each, vyould work badly
at this time ; besides, it was unconstitu
tional. Fifteen men were sufficient to work
au engine, and a sufficient number to.
exempt, but here we have a large number
of parties seeking exemptions whose
services arc required in the present state of
the country.
Mr. Harris favored reconsideration for
reference to tho Judiciary Committee;
also, Mr. Brock favored the samo.
Mr. Candler said the Judges of the
Courts had no power to grant
and there was quite a difference between a
privilege granted tocertain individuals and
certain parties named iu the bill.
The motion to reconsider prevailed, and
the bill laid on the table for the present.
Mr. Merrell moved to suspend the rules,
in order to take up the bill, providing for
the election of a Mayor and Aldermen in the
city of Savannah.
, Mr. Holcombe moved to amend, by having
read tho second time the House bill to reor
ganize the rnani. r of holding municipal
elections of Augusta, The motion to sus
pend was agreed to, and the bill was read
and made the special order for Fri lay uext.
The Senate took np the bill Ibr.a third
reading, providing for that.election of Mayor
and Aldermen of the city of Savannah.
Mr. Lester offered as a substitute the bill
ns passed by the House of Reprenaitatives.
Mr. Campbell opposed the substitute,
especially that portion referring to the J astictfs
prestdin _ His idea bpiug that it should be
so fixed'that two white and two colored
persons should preside. -' Also opposed to the
Gino fixed for the election. As -to judges;

Mr<Lester introduced a afid.

To adjourn to Milledgeville on 20th of

Mr. Bryant moved as a substitute that
this General Assembly will adjourn on sth

Mr. Rawls offered the following substi
tute :
Resolved, That the mover of the bill to
adjourn on the sth of September be
allowed -a leave of absence from the Sth of
September to canvass his Congressional
District as elector of his party, as we believe
his services will greatly benefit tlie Demo
cratic party.
Ruled out of order.
The Speaker ruled Mr. Bryant’s substi
tute germain to the bill.
-Mr. Anderson appealed from the decision
of the Chair.
The House sustained the Chair.
Mr. Bryant spoke in favor of his substi
tute.
During his remarks, he said bis party
was willing to do the business and adjourn.
His party were anxious to go home. The
Senate had got b: bind with its business.
They had been wasting their time upon the
everlasting Bradley case. If the House
will go and finish their business as it can
do in two weeks, we can adjourn in two
weeks. He did not wish the Republican
party charged with staying here and
wasting the people’s money.
Mr. O’Neal, of Lowndes, offered an
amendment, that this House will adjourn
the Ist of October. He said the General
Assembly would do its business with
reference to party or party lines. He
wished to separate this question of removal
of the seat of government from the question
of adjournment. He called upon the
friends of Macon, of Milledgeville,' and of
common justice to come up and meet this
question. He insisted that there was a
pressing emergency to take back the scat
of government where our fathers had
placed it. It never has been legally
removed, and it becomes us, as the re pre
sentatives of the people, to say so, etc., etc.
Ho contended that the late Convention had
no right to interfere with the location of
the Capitol.
Mr. Duncan raised the point that this
bill referring to two subjects matter was
obnoxious to the Constitution.
Mr. Harper, of Terrell, said he did not
believe the seat of government could be
removed to Milledgeville, except by a 1
change of the Constitution. ‘ He said he
would like to know how the gentleman
from Richmond had found out that the
people were sick and tired of our staying
here.
The bill was laid on the table.
