From the commencement of the war to the present time, he says, "it has had but one purpose, to save the nation.” We fancy no party could desire a better record than that.

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, mid of sound constitutional views 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 from now 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 Union Repub lican Party is embarked; and to spare neither labor nor expense In making The National Republican a useful and reliable newspaper. Specimen copies sent free to any address Extra Copies.—We print an extra num ber of Republicans this morning, contain ing the exhaustive speech of Hon. Joseph E. Brown. Speech or Hon. Mr. Tweedy.—Wo pub lish this morning our Representative's remarks, recently made in the House, on the Augusta municipal bill. It will bear careful perusal. Corn Fed. —Blair took some citizen’s provisions when he passed through Georgia. Blair is a witty man, and when he was applied to for food for his prisoners he ordered them to have one ear of hard corn each, giving utterance at the same time to the following first-rate witticism : “ Corn is good enough for Corn-feds!" A Matter for Calculation. -We would make known to the Ku Klux Democracy that an improvement has been made upon their old plifn of murdering Radical negroes. The process now- coming into vogue is to tic them up and beat them till they swear to vote for Seymour. Any arithmetician can demonstrate the economy of the new process. Killing a Radical only takes off one vote for Grant, but converting him iu the new fashion not only diminishes Grant’s vote one, but adds one vote to "Seymour—a gain of two. * Apt Scholars.—We learn that a number of Democratic chups that have been in the habit of turning up their noses at the mention of “nigger,” were, a night or two since, in company with a number of sable voters, whom they familiarly invited to •‘come along—you can go wherever we go.” These worthies are apt scholars. If the blacks will only hold on to their right to vote, we may soon expect to see Democratic office-seekers not only eating and drinking with the negro, but inviting him into their parlors. How the ballot elevates the negro 1 Specimen Bricks.—Si nee the Democracy claim to have all the learning and all the gentility, they ought to pay a little more attention to their orthography and grammar, aud improve their ideas of decency. They had a great pop-wow in Atlanta a few weeks since, and on the transparencies appeared Such .qteeimens of erudition as these: “Wirtz, the Myrtarf' "The Ashes of Atlanta has Arises/’ etc. A specimen of their decency appeared in the picture of the pig aud his brother Democrat, which we can not describe. But we have no occasion to seek for samples of their decency since Boh Toombs’ speeoh in this city last week, and the editorials of their newspapers. Colored Democratic Clubs.—lt has been happily suggested that the colored Democratic Clubs of this and other cities have, on their banners, some such graphic mottoes as: “This is a -white man's Govern ment,” and “A Negro has no Rights that a White Man is bound to respect.’* Query.—ls the Negroes of the Southern States should all go for Seymour and Blair, and elect them, what will become of Frank Blair’s programme ? What will become of the pet cry that this is ruwhite man's gov ernment? Life and Services of General Grant.— We are indebted to HofC T. L. Tullock, Secretary National’ Republican Executive Committee, for n copy of the "Life and Ser viees of General U. S. Grant, Eighteenth President of the United States.” It is a handsome book, of one hundred and sixty pages, aud should be in the hands of every citizen of the country. If the real people Would obtain, each for himself, a copy of this volume, they would be able to sea how wise, how great, and how conservative a man is to be oar next President. It is sold for the very low price of S2O per hundred. Address T. L. Tullock, Secretary National Repub lican Executive Committee, Washington, THE INCONSISTENCIES OF DEMOCRACY. .- We have, long known that there was nothing that Democracy will not profess or do to obtain power. It one moment they will pretend to believe one thing, at Lbc next, something diametrically oppo site. Having no principles but greed of oflice, they have no object in view except its attainment. The good of the country, the prosperity of the people, peace and good government, are to Democrats as nothing, compared with the grasping of the public plunder. In their blindpursuit of their selfish aims, they stumble u]x>n inconsistencies and absurdities that would ruin any other party, but the adherents of Democracy forget the contradictions, in consistencies and rascalities of their leaders, and blindly follow on. The conduct of the Democracy toward the colored people is an example ot the blow-heat blow-cold course of the party— at one moment spitting out the most malignant hate of the black man, at the next trying to cajole and flatter him; now starving him by denying him-employ ment, then treating him to expensive barbecues; now professing the utmost horror of social equality, then drinking with him out of the same whiskey bottle.. But of all their crazy inconsistencies, their conduct toward the colored members of the Legislature bears the palm. Profess ing to desire that the colored men should enjoy all the privileges of citizens, and should exercise them discreetly, by voting with the Democratic party, they yet pre tend to believe that they arc not citizens, and they turn them out of the Legislature. According to Democratic creed, a man may lie a citizen, and yet not a citizen; if there could be such a thing as a half citizen, it would precisely suit the case. Exactly as a mulatto is a halt white man, so, Demo cratically, n colored man is only half a citizen. He may exercise such privileges as the Democracy, in their generosity, will allow him, but not all that the Constitu tion and the laws give them. The Democ racy are ready even to repudiate, when it suits their convenience, the doctrine of one of their favorite oracles: "the right to vote necessarily carries with it the right to hold oflice.” They would accord to the negro the right to vote, because they hope that his vote may be gained for their cause, but he must not hold offices. Offices arc the peculiar property of the white Democracy. Very eccentric is the thing which goes by the name of Denfocraey 1 When the negro was a slave it insisted that three fifths of him was entitled ,to be represented in National and State Legislatures, and your Toombs, Stephens, Cobbs and Hills thought it no shame to represent negroes in Congress and elsewhere.. Now flic negro is free it is a terribly dishonoring thing to be glected by negro votes or to rcpcsent negroes in Conventions or Legisla tures. There is not one of the men whose names we have mentioned who has not been elected by negro votes, cast- through the interposition of a white man, it is true, but still negro votes, and not one who was not rejoiced to represent negroes—it is a terrible thing now however, sayt that nasty fellow Toombs or that lunatic Hill for a Radical to be elected by negro votes. The doctrine of a Democratic govern ment, is that the officers of a government arc the servants of the people, so the colored members of the Legislature may console themselves by the reflection that the Democracy, in ejecting them from their scats, have promoted them from the posi tion of servants and placed them in the ranks of the masters. That party is so in love with “ negro supremacy” that it will not permit the negro to serve, but he must rule. The colored man may think dif ferently, however, when his vote is asked for Seymour and Blair. RESOLUTION OF HON. FOSTER BLODGETT. In our issue yesterday we referred to a preamble and resolution said to have .been introduced in a Republican caucus at Atlanta, by Hon. Foster "Blodgett, Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee. Since then we have received a copy of the resolution, which is pulflislied below for the information of tjie public. The resolution is in itself a logical state ment of the correctness of the. positions assumed, and of the necessity for govern mental interference, and needs no com ment. Come what may. the Ku Klux may rest assured that they will not lie per. mitted to set the State of Georgia back to her condition in 1861. They may proceed with their revolutionary measures until they get themselves set back a peg or two. Here Is Mr. Blodgett’s resolution, •which was unanimously adopted by the largest Republican caucus ever held in Atlanta: Whereas, The Constitution of • Georgia confers on all citizens of- the State the right to hold office ; and whereas, the laws of the United States have made colored .persons citizens of this State, as well as of the United States; therefore, bo it Resolved, That the act of either House of this General Assembly depriving persons, on account of color, from holding seats to which they have been legally and constitutionally elected, is hereby declared to be in Opposi tion to the Constitution and laws ot the country, aud revolutionary in its character: and if such action is forced upon the colored members of the Legislature, that the mem bers so declared ineligible, are requested to enter their solemn protest against such action, and that this whole matter be referred to the Congress of the United Stales, that justice may be had, and that Georgia may be given a Republican form of Government, as guaranteed br the Constitution of the United States. Better One's Own than Another's.— The Atlanta correspondent of the CvnslUu tionalist sneeringly refers to Hon. Ephraim Tweedy as a “gentleman, living on his in come.” Better that than living off the income of others. The Old Aristocracy, at Work.—The old aristocracy of the South are now earnestly at work to keep the poor white men of the South upd his children down in the world by controlling the black vote against them- These over-bearing, purse-proud aristocrats ( need watching by blaclj and while.alike. GEN. WOFFORD IN THE FIELD. The Cartersville Express, of the 28th, contains a correspondence between a number of prominent citizens of Murray and Whitfield counties, and Gen. Wm. T. Woeford, in relation to the latter’s becom ing a candidate -to represent the ‘Seventh Congressional District in Congress. Gen. Wofford consents to become a candidate, and says: “If elected, my constant aim will be to benefit those I represent—all the people—and to give you no reason to regret having honored me with your con fidence.” Inasmuch as the Toombs and Hill typo of revolutionists in that District propose to nominate Gen. I’. M. B. Young for reelection; and inasmuch as General Wofford is silent in his letter about the Democracy and its Convention, it is fair to presume that he does not intend to be slaughtered by the Atlanta wire-workers in a packed convention. Although General Wopford is a supporter of Seymour, it is believed he opposes the war purposes of Blair. The emphasis with which he says he will represent " all the people” looks as if he thinks there are others besides Demo crats in Georgia that have interests to be looked after. ■ Blau: and Butler.—General Blair, the Democratic candidate fur Vice-President, seems to be a somewhat similar style of man to Ben Butler. Both appear to have a weakness for spoons and sick. When Blair passed down through Georgia with Sher man’s army, burning and destroying, he made his headquarters, for a time, at a gen tleman’s house in Butts county. The gen tleman was of course from home, and Blair borrowed from the lady of the house a fine set of china for his own special use. Upon leaving he ordered the china packed up, and carried it off with him, putting a very fine china mug into his own pocket. He doubt less has that crockery in use this very day, and displays it to his friends as a memento of his heroism against the rebels in Georgia. Those who support Blair ought to say nothing more about Butler and his spoons. Remarks of Hon. Ephraim Tweedy ON THE Augusta Municipal Bill. Mr. Speaker: I have never attempted to make a speech in my life, but some knowl edge and experience in municipal affairs prompt me to say something on this occasion. It is proper, when claiming such experience, that I should detail upon what the claim is founded. I was elected to the Common Council of the city of Augusta, by a respec table majority, iu April, 1866, being the only candidate elected on what was known as the Blodgett ticket. When Gen. Pope appointed a new Mayor and Council in May, 1867, I was the only member es the old Council retained in office—for what reason, General Pope knows best. I have been a member of the . Council of Augusta for nearly two and a half years, and during seven months of that time I have acted as Mayor of the city. Mr. Speaker, I object to the title of this bill ; it implies that the city government of ; Augusta is disorganized and without effetive municipal government. I take this oppor tunity to say,-that on the score of economy, and security to life and safety to person and property, Augusta has never, been better governed tsan at the present time. The clause of.the bill calling fur an election, Ido not object to. We are ready for an- election at »any time. I fear the results of no election. If the people think proper tb elect my friends, well; if not, still well; but Ido insist that it shall be conducted fairly—which is impossible under this bill. It is very well known that the bane of Georgia is the frequent elections, both State and municipal. They compromise the independence of most men. Gentle men arc seated as members of Council but a short time before they begin to shape their policy so- as to insure the next election. Again, it is now a political axiom—origi nating with the Democracy—that to the victors belong the spoils. When a new party gets into power, new officers are selected and appointed ; the old officers are thrown ont, and, instead of seeking an honest livelihood, they in many cases re main idle, "waiting for the next election,” whereas if they knew they would be com pelled to wait indefinitely, they would scA some employment—and laziness, loafing, and lazzarom would be discouraged if not prevented. By referring to section third of this bill, it contemp’ates the changing of the laws of registration. Why should they be changed ? If they have been found by experience to be wrong, I have never heard of it. I hold in my hand sir, a copy of the Charter granted to the city of Augusta seventy years ago, with the Amendments made-thereto. as cir cumstances and experience required. You here find that the City Council appoints a rogietry-derk, whose duty it is to register every voter presenting himself. Why should it be changed? Did it network well? But we find that at a subsequent session of the General Assembly the law in relation to registration was changed, very properly ; for it was found by experience that the clause requiring the presenting of the certificate of registry at. the polls was a hardship and unwise. A voter having lost his certificate wtis virtually difranchised. Therefore!: was changed, and the voter has not since been required to present his certificate of registry; but this bill proposes to go back to what wm found by experience to lie wrong, and insists that the certificate shall be presented at the ballot-box. And now, Mr. SpeakeY, I ask .your especial attention to section twenty-nine of the third article of the Constitution. How can a poll-tax be collected under this, when it is in direct conflict with the Constitution of this State ? Do gentlemen propose to exemrrt the citizens from any further “ poll tax for educational purposes” when they shall have already paid it to the City Council of Augusta ? No, Mr. Speaker. It is oppressive—it is aristocratic, and wrong. I do not propose to use such language to stigmatize the bill as it deserves. Gentle men on this floor have applied the epithets " infamous” and “ rascally” to bills they did not approve. T shall make use of no sach expressions ; but candor compels me, Mr. Speaker, to say that there never has been a bill so objectionable offered since I have been a member. I trust the bill will not pass. DEMOCRATS tn Favok qf Grant and CO£i'AX.*-Let me meation in this connec tion, furtlicrmore, that not a few prominent Democrrts in Indiana are unwilling to vote for Seymour and Blair. Especially is this the cose in the ninth Congressional District, where Judge Lindley, contingent elector on the Democratic fiflfet, and other Democrats of standing and wtlueuce, have openly come out in favor of Grant and Colfax. This fa the district “ Major Gen.” MiHigan, of the Sons of Liberty Army, has lateby made such very remarkable speeches in favor, of Seymour and Blair, but especially Blair., His speeches begin to produce the expected effect.— Cor. A r . 1’ Timet. INTERVIEW WITH GENERAL LONG STREET, Gen. Graul-his Candidate for the Presidency. From tho N. Y. Tribune, August 25.] . Yesterday a chieftain of the late rebellion, General James Longstreet, arrived in New York. Since the war he accepted the situa tion, and has used his influence to counsel and guide his people, and lead them safely back to an enduring peace. Yesterday even ing a reporter ot the Tribune called upon the General at the New York Hotel. Im agine seated at a table a tall, well built man in a suit of black. The face is a kindly, pleasant one, the beard is sandy and grizzled, and the cheeks are flushed. The forehead is high, and the eyes are gray and soft in ex pression. The mouth squarely cut, denotes decision, and there is that quiet, resolute air about him that reminded one of Gen. Grant, whom he strongly resembles in looks and manner. Although suffering from an attack of fever, he bore himself resolutely above pain, and after dinner conversed freely upon affairs in the Southern States. As a portion of the conversation bears directly upon the coming campaign, I give it in full : Reporter—Do you think we will have better days in the Southern States? Gen. Longstreet—Assuredly. The cotton crop has been very large this year, and we will soon have capital of our own to work upon. Rep—Suppose Seymour is elected, do you think we will have another war ? Gen. L.—l t&nnfft say as to that, but. I believe that if he is elected it will open all these old issues, and we will have trouble ; but I don’t think he will be elected. Rep.—What do you think of Grant ? Gen. L— He is my man. I believe Ire is a fair man. I met him at West Point. I think he is above meanness. His silence is grand. Rep —There is one thing I would like to. ask- It is in regard to the negro. Gen. L. (smiling)—l will tell you all I know. Rep.—Will ho keep his contracts in regard to labor ? Gen. L.—l can relate my own experience, My men have worked well. They like to have a white man come out in the field and tell them what to do. There was always a class of lazy men who would sit in their houses and give their orders. These men deserve to have trouble. Rep.—And in regard to jury trials'—l mean negroes Upon a jury bench ? Gen. L.—ln some cases that is bad ; for instance, where au action involves an account. Negroes generally are ignorant upon intricate matters of business. But, if a district is disposed to do right with them, the jury may be divided —white and black. They (the negroes) soon learn, and appreciate the position. Rep.—About negro supremacy ? Gen. L.—Ah, that can never be; it is silly to think of it. They can never be stronger than they arc to day, and the whites of the South know it, but they are misled by the politicans. Rep.— ; ln regard to the acts of Recon struction ? Gen. L. —I advise my fricuds to accept them, and come in to the Union and try to bring about peace and prosperity. I told the people of Alabama, if they would not be guided by the politicans they would come out all right. Rep.—And you think it will come out all right ? Gen. L.—l do ; the crops are large. The cotton crop is worth $200,003,000. That is a step toward bringing about the desired result. Chase was my man. I think if nominated he could have been elected, and the Southern people would rally about him without knowing it; I cannot vote for Seymour; but any way, I think good times are not far distant.
