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. • t j - r^ 1 J ■H ——*>■ . ■ Atlanta says that Hon. PniLur P. Roturson, of Giv.-nc, recently appointed Judge of the Ochinulgce i Circuit, is *' Democrat who neither sought or desired the office. Oh, bush 1 Democrats snatch offices with an avid. . ity equal to. that with which Crawford Rhopks’ ducks catch flies. t t —Lucy Stone is, it is said, to lie one ot the editors of the liev-jlution. 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.

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.

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.
