OUR PARER.
The present Presidential campaign in
volves more momentous coßsequeuees than
any previous political contest in the history
of the country. The people of Georgia *re
deeply interested in the reeuk, an* 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 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.

Notice. —We have several choice utter
ances by Blustering Bou, at the Central
Hotel, last week, and would be pleased to
have more of the same sort. It is true, most
of them are too vulgar for publicatiou, but,
nevertheless, we like to preserve such evi
dences of the beastiality of the leader of the
“ respectability” party. Republicans who
may have chanced tc hear the harangue will
please advise us.
SQUABBLE In' *THE UOMUMBUt?
DISTRICT.
The leaders of the revolutionary De
mocracy in the Columbus District are
besoming greatly exercised as to which of
their number (they all want office) shall
have the honor of being defeated for Con
gress this Fall by the Republicans. The
Sun d- Times favors Hugh Buchanan, of
Coweta, and the Enquirer evidently desires
the nomination of R. J. Moses, of Muscogee.
A writer in the former paper, of the Ist,
charges that the only evidence of Moses’
popularity with the blacks is, “ a card
drawn up by one of his law partners, and
signed by a few negro men of this county,
some of whom did not know what they
were signing and then implies that this
is not a true Moses, by asking the following
questions :
Ist. At what particular time did ho become
such a violent opponent of Reconstruction ?
2d. Did ho or did he not resolve to accept the
situation ? ,
3d. Did ho or did ho not write a letter to Gen.
Longstreet advising him to accept also ?
4tb. Did or did not the advice of a dis
tinguished Georgia politician have anything to
do with a change of tho views of Major Moses in
regard to “ accepting the situation.”
' Congressional Nomination.—The Re
publicans in the Second Congressional Dis
trict have nominated Captain Win. P.
Pierce, of Lee, for Congress. This District
is at present represented by Hon. Nelson
Tift, Democrat, whodefeated Col. Whitely
at the last election. There is a heavy
colored majority tn the section, and our
. information us to the character 1 of Captain
i Pierce warrants us in expressing the convic-
■ tiou that he will be elected by a handsome
majority. He has the grit. Grit is what
is needed. He has the courage to address
tire people any where in his District that
the voters may cbooso to assemble.

As Old Bummer Gone.—The Revolution
ists are rejoicing that an old political bum
mer, one John Harden, of Cuthbert, like
the "dog that returned to hie vomit,” has
rejoined the secession Democracy. We are
glad that he has done so; for he was a
nuisance of the first water. Ever since
Governor Bullock’s election he has been
■ writing und having printed articles laud
ing nearly every prominent Republican in
the State, and disgusting those gentlemen
by enclosing copies of his sickly effusions
to the unfortunate recipients of his praise.
And all this for a Judgeship. But the
Judgeship was not forthcoming. Governor
Bullock knew the man. The seedy old
bummer is “disgusted.” He is now for
Frank Blair and another war. Perhaps
he will get office then. He will never get
one under a Republican Administration.
We hare trusted too many of such charac
ters already.
Pkrsoxal.—We had the pleasure of a call
yesterday from Hon. W. P. Edwards, Rep
|Rße»tative in Congress from the Columbus
I District. The Colonel has just returned
from an extended tour through the North.
He represents the utmost enthusiasm for
Grant, and thinks the result in Vermont
only a gentle hint nt what the people will
proclaim in thunder tones iu November.
When He Gets Sober.—Blustering Bob
delivered a speech at Cedar Town on the
28 th, which was to have been printed os a I
revolutionary campaign document. It has
not yet appeared. The delay is probably
occasioned by Boa’s being too drunk to
write it off. . , ,
CONGRESSMAN GOVE'S APPEAL.
The revolutionary presses pt the State are
terribly exercised because • Congressman
Gove, of the Macon District, has seen fit to
recommend the reassembling ot Congress on
the 21st instant, as provided for in the reso
mtion of adjournment. It was certainly
very imprudent in Mr. Gove to presume to
express his convictions of the necessity of a
September session without consulting the
wishes of a set of editors pledged to overturn
the Southern State and drive
from the soil every avowed advocate of the
righteous principles of the Republican party.
If the counsel of the editors of these journals
was heeded, it is highly probable that the
American Congress would never meet again.
But, we imagine that neither Mr. Govk nor
Congress will feel under obligations to act
on the dictation of these men. Generally, it
is the part of wisdom to do exactly tlie
reverse of what your enemy would have, you.
We hold that the case under discussion fur
nishes no exception to the rule.
There is one misrepresentation of the
revolutionary prints to which we desire to
call the attention of our readers. They all
concur in wickedly perverting the truth, by
alleging that Mr. Gove desires Congress to
assemble in order to “arm the Southern
blacks against the whites.” There is not
one word of truth in this statement. Mr.
Gove, snd the Republican party of Georgia,
simply demand that the white and black
voters shall be permitted to disenss political
questions • with perfect freedom, and vote
without intimidation. That intimidation, is
now being exercised by the Democrats,
every citizen is well aware. There is no
truth in the man who will deny this noto
rious fact. It is not sale to organize n
Grant ZJlub in hardly any section of the
State, outside of the large cities. Only
yesterday a white man arrived in Augusta,
having been warned to leave home by the
Ku-Klux in Washington county. He re
ports that some five negroes have been
inhumanly butchered within the past two
weeks. The Elberton Gazette last week
recorded a like state of affairs in Elbert
county. Much is said about the lawlessness
of negroes: but it is a significant fact that
in every difficultly we have heard of, one or
inorc negroes arc killed and no white men
injured. Would it be thus, if the negroes
were disposed to commit political outrages
on the whites ?
No, Mr. Gove does not desire the arming
of the negroes against the whites. Ho only
demands that the United Stales shell pro
tect its citizens at home as wcH as it would
if they were abroad. He demands that the
armed and organized rowdies of tho Bi.aik
party shall not butcher men for political
opinion’s sake.
BEFORE AND *AFTER THE RATI
FICATION OF THE CONSTITUTION.
Before the ratification of the new Cousin
tution, Ben. Hill said it gave the black man
the right to hold office:
Genera! Gordon said the same thing ;
Judge Reese said the same;
Judge Cabincss said the same;
Judge Lochranc said the same ;
E, 11. Pottle said the same ;
Bob Toombs said the same ;
Carey Styles said the same ;
Thomas Hardeman said the same; .
Dr. Ridley said the same ;
P. W. Alexander said the same ;
P. M. B. Young said the same :
R. J. Mosss said the same ;
HoWell Cobb said the same ;
The Lamars all said the same ;
Every Democratic newspaper said the
same ;
Judge Irwin said the same ;
Every little Democrat in the State—in
cluding Ranse Wright—said the same.
Now, that the election is over, every one
of these men, by sustaining the revolutionists
in -ihe House of Representatives on the
eligibility question, acknowledge that they
deliberately attempted to deceive the people.
Miserable demagogues! They are consistent
only in their greedy efforts to obtain office.
“Ox the War Path.” —The Rome Com
mercial says that the Republican is ou the
“war path.” That is not our path. We
travel the path of peace. Our candidate for
the Presidency travels the same path. It
will be his business to compel all the pesti
lent demagogues in the country to eease the
war whoop and get off the war path. The
country can no longer tolerate a war path.
That path must be permitted to grow up in
grass, undisturbed by a single two-legged or
four-legged war-hoofs. The Blairites are the
only advocates of war we know of in this
country, and if tbqy make it they will meet a
worse fate than did the Yanceyiles of 1861
•»- •
Who Dake Deny that the so-oallcd
high-toned, chivalrous, all respectable De
mocracy did not regularly nominate and
support on thoir ticket two negroes in
Houston county, one for Tax Collector and
the other for Receiver, both of whom were
elected to office by one of the wealthiest
counties in Georgia. Come, gentlemen,
if you elect negroes to office, drive them to
the polls in carriages and buggies, carry
them on your shoulders, make stump
speeches to them, go into caucus with
them, stop talking about “ negro equality.”
You are not consistent.— Sae. Slauduid.
No one dare deny the above facts. Here
in Augusta, Democrats and so-sailed Union
men acting with their party, voted for the
negro, Bob Crumley, of Warrenton, for
Congress. And they would do so to
morrow if they Could thereby manifest their
hatred of the North, or secure the spoils of
office. These chaps love office so well that
they arc glad to become clerks and depu
ties under negro office-holders.
Gubernatorial Nomination.—The Dem
ocracy have much to say about Republican
extravagance. What they say is their
preaching. Our dispatches announce the
nomination of the chief of the most corrupt
city government in the world as the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor of New York—
John T. Huffman, Mayor of New York city.
This is an illustration of Democratic prow
tier.

New Paper.—We have received the first
number of the Union Pilot, palffished at
Greensboro, East Tennessee. .. ft is a well
printed weekly, and supports Grant and
Colfax.
GENERAL GRANT AT HOME.
The President of the Galena Bank,
writing to a relative in Boston, gives the fol
lowing account of Gen. Grant's reception
in Galena, on his return from Colorado, and
of his deportment among the friends of his
former home:
“General Grant is here, quietly spending
a fortnight at his home. I sent you a paper
containing an account of his reception. The
reception was spontaneous and informal, but
genuine and hearty. At the serenade at. his
house it was not expected there would be
any speaking ; but the crowd called .some of
us out. T was taken entirely by surprise, but
could not back out, as I was standing on the
porch near the General, and had to say a
few words. He is in fine health and spirits.
He walks about town every flay in plain
citizens’ dress—the most unpretending man
in the place. He spent most of the forenoon,
to-day. sitting with us in the bank. lie is
one of our stock-holders. In private, he is
very scfciai, likes a joke, and enjoys com
pany. He rends the papers diligently, keeps
hitnself posted, and has a pretty good idea
of the political situation.. On Sunday be
and his . wife and his family walked to the
Methodist church, about half a mile, instead
of riding in a carriage, as most great men
would have done ; and this, too, when his
friends have placed horses and carriages at
his disposal whenever he chooses to call for
them. But he is a radical Democrat in the
true sense. If the good people who are dis
tressed by the Stories told by his enemies, in
regard to his habits, could only look into
that clear, calm, serene, and candid face for
a few moments, they would say that its'
wearer could not be a man of bad passion or
vicious habits. It is astonishing how such
slanders of public meo, if persistently re
peated, will come to bo believed by their
political opponents, and by and by even
perplex and distress their friends.
NobthekN Democrats Disgusted.—The
Northern Democrats are becoming disgusted
with their Southern allies, for eating, drink
ing, smoking, and (for aught we kuow) sleep
ing with the negroes, to obtain their votes.
The New York Dey Book thus vents its
indignation : .
If Southern mon themselves become so lost, so
utterly lost, us to court tho negro and strive to
got his vote, the whole social fabric is under
mined, poisoned, dead at heart, and only to bo
revived after a conflict of races that must make
the world turn pale to contemplate. Tho utmost
that can bo ventured on with safety is to keep
tho negro from tho polls, and thus lessen tho
mongrel vote; but if Democrats can become so
utterly lost as to mongrelize themselves and co
operate with ‘colored elubs,’ may God forgive
them, if lie can, for a crime so unspeakable, and
a self-destruction so hideous, monstrous, and
damnable.”

From the reports ol a number of planters
with whom we hate conversed, we can but
expect a very short crop of cotton in this

the planters is but too well founded.

Yesterday, in broad daylight, while his
family were out visiting, four men attempted

A gentleman from Southwest Georgia

is in almost every field. It has done no

the showers were much lighter than ours.
He says cotton looks better than it did this

Ou last Sabbath, a man living in this
county, some uine miles below tbe city,
named G. M. Anderson, fell out with his
wife and.took a drawing-knife and chopped
her across the head several times, cutting
out large pieces of the skull bone. Failing
to produce death as promptly wis desired
with the drawing-knife, he drew his poaket
knife and plunged that into her side. Not
yet satisfied with his diabolical work, he
set his house on fire, with the intention, it
is thought, of burning her remains to hide
his guilt. It seems that Anderson and his
wife have not lived harmoniously together
for several years, and he has before, been
beard to threaten to kill her, and on this
occasion set about it in tho most terribly
brutal earnest The report of the horrible
crime was soon spread through the neigh
borhood, and the • neighbors were with
difficulty restraihed from hurling the
wretched wife-murderer into the flames of
tbe burning house. They,, however, ar
rested, hi in and brought him. to jail, where
he now is in close communion with his own
conscience—a terrible companion for such

PROPHETS**A BRACE ON THEM.
Mr. In December, 1800, Toombs
said, in effect, at Concert Hall, that those
who raised the cry of “ Union” were
traitors, and counseled all the rowdy de
meats' to acts of violence against them,
which resulted in an attempt to mob the
Chronicle & Sentinel office. In 1861 he
said the Yankees would not fight—that
there would be no war, and he would drink
all the blood shed. In 1803 he said Jeff.
Davis was a fool and a traitor, and ought
to be hung or shot —that Lee was only fit
to be a U olonel of cavalry, and Bragg only
fit for a $250 overseer—that, although the
cause would fail, he (Toombs) did not
intend to survive the revolution. In 1864
he said ho had bought property in France
for his family, when the crush came. In
1865, after being in hiding for months, he
fled his country in disguise, a criminal.
In 1867, a monument of the mercy of that
Government he sought and still seeks to |
destroy, he comes home, a returned emigre,
still “breathing threatening and slaughter,”
and to-day he declares that the enfran
chised American citizens of African descent
have no rights and must be driven from the
polls by arms.
Will any prudent, thoughtful man follow
such nn unsafe, unreliable, destructive lender
longer ?
In 1855, Ben. Hill said he would beat
Warner for Congress, but ho did not. In
1856, he said Fillmore would beat Bnehapan,
and Fillmore carried only one State—Mary
land. In 1857. he said he would beat Joe
Brown for Governor, and Brown got several
thousand majority. In 1860, he said Georgia
would not secede if Lincoln was elected, but
Georgia did secede. In 18G1, he said there
would be no war, but there was war. In 1864,
he said the Confederacy would succeed and
good government be lost, but tho Confederacy
did not succeed. In 1867, he said the Con
vention would not be called, but it was
called. In 1868, he said Gordon would beat
Bullock 30,000, but Bullock is our Gov
ernor—and an excellent one, too.
Ob, blind leaders of the blind ! How long
will thinking men follow such false projiheit?
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
Its Villainies Exposed—Eloquent Arraign
ment by Senator Wilson.
At a Republican meeting iu Worcester,
Massachusetts, on Friday night, Senator
Wilson, after showing thaf the Republican
party had tho sympathy of all good mon at
home and abroad, he thus arraigned tho
Democracy:
Who is it that assailed us ? It is tho
Democratic party, North and South, Sey
mour and Wade Hampton! Pendleton and
Robert Toombs! Vallandigham and Howell
Cobb! These are the gentlemen who pro
pose to assail us.
You will remember that fourteen years
ago there was a magnificent territory west
of the Missouri, consecrated to freedom.
Who abrogated that compact of consecra
tion ? The Democratic party! Who defen
ded and justified the conduct of the “border
ruffians?” The Democratic party! Who
made this domain slave territory, and when
those who strove to save it for freedom were
robbed,-burned and murdered, who apolo
gized and defended such acts ? The Demo
cratic party! Who removed Governor
Reeder, made the Lecompton Constitution,
and indorsed the Drod Scott decision ? The
Democratic party! You will remember that
in 1861, when war was imminent, the
•‘Crittenden compromise” was proposed,
asking that slavery might be defended
south of- thirty-six thirty, that slaves
might be transported at will through
all the States, that citizenship should be
taken away from freemen in the free States,
and that free negroes be sent out of the
slave States at- the national expense. Who
was it defended these outrageous demands?
The Democratic party! Then the batteries
were opened on Fort Sumter —by whom ?
By the Democratic parly! Not one loyal
soldier went to his long rest but by the hand
of the Democratic party. Who murdered
three hundred and fifty thousand men—who
is responsible? The Democratic parly then,
and the Democratic party now I The»e are
three hundred thousand besides those who
are maimed by wounds received in batttie—
who did it? Men who were Democrats then,
and are Democratsnow! You will remember
the time when Congress, in order to rein
force the Union armies, was obliged to pass
an enrollment act- - .vlio denounced it ? Who
reddened the streets of New York with blood
and its skies with the lurid flames from the
homes of the defenceless ? The Democratic
friends of Horatio Seymour then and now I
When it was thought necessary to pass the
“legal tender act,” who opposed it ? The
Democratic party who, with Pendleton, said
the legal tender notes went out with the mark
of Cain upon them, and would carry bank
ruptcy and ruiu iu their train. But he has
changed his opinion.
Who was it opposed the abolition of
slavery, the making of the national capital
free—the territories free? Who
putting black men iuto the army.;uid making
their wives and children free ? Who opposed
the constitutional amendment, securing free
dom to the whole of our wide domain ? The
Democratic party ! When we got through
the war and Andrew Johnson had recon
structed the South with traitors in every
post of honor and power, who applauded his
policy ? The Democratic putty. I speak
only what I believe when I say il the policy
had succeeded, repudiation would to-day
have been an accomplished and achieved
fact. The civil rights bill, the fourteenth
constitutional amendment, the reconstruc
tion acts, the formation of free constitutions
for the Southern States, were all opposed by
the Democratic party, North and South.
And when the Southern States were ad
mitted, and the National Democratic Con
vention assembled at New York, of the one
hundred and eighty-two Southern delegates
over one hundred were rebel officers, as
then, more members of Jeff. Davis’ Congress
than of the Congress of the United States,
and these men assume to declare reconstruc
tion acts null arid void.
This is only a part of the record of the
Democratic party ; I might go on for hours
extending the lists of its misdeeds. There
fore I do not come here to defend the Re
publican party, but to assail the Democratic
party as the enemy of justice, of humanity,
of truth, of country, of honor, of God. It is
now pretending to be the champion of poor
men. For fourteen years it hs.s done more
to oppress the poor than any other organiza
tion under Heaven. In the outset of the
contest there was a territory 'sufficiently
large to make fifty States like your own,
consecrated to freedom and open to the poor
men of the country. The Democratic party
removed the prohibition ot slavery and ad
mitted Che Southern plantation system, the
worst enemy of the poor laboring man,
North aud South.
And wbat do they propose now to do?
We have given the right of suffrage to seven
hundred and fifty thousand men at tbe South
—they propose to take it away ; we have
given the Sbuthern States an opportunity to
make free constitutions—they propose to
take them away ; we .propose to give them
’tree school systems, secured by State consti
tutions, and they vote against it, and propose
to throw overboard all we have done, ana do
it in the name of aid to labor. Let me tell
you ihatlhqy who would degrade the labor
ing class and degrade labor at the Soatb,
will also degrade it here.
