REN HILL TO THE NEW YORK
TRIBUNE.
Ben. Hill cap no more keep his pen or
tongue quiet than can a victim of St,
Vitus’ dance hold himself still. Having
recently proceeded to New York,' and
possibly finding the Democrats indisposed
to hear him noratc, in order to gratify his
uncontrollable penchant for seeing his
name and productions in print. Crazy Ben
played strategy on Horace Greei.y and
wrote a letter to his Tribune.
Ben’s letter opens in the, Tribijfie of the
25th, and gives the author's account of the
Camilla affair. We wonder it did not
occur to the Philosopher of the Tribune
that, possibly, lie had access to as many
sources of information ns were accessible
to our Ben, the latter, like the former, not
being in Georgia at the the time of the
occurrence.
This letter is (jlled with the most atro
cious slanders against the Republican party
of Georgia. We have not the patience to
wade through«nll his flagrant falsehoods
and expose them seriatim. lie charges the
Republican party with telling the blocks
that the Democrats would roflnslave them.
He knew this statement to be false, when
he pepnedflt. The Republicans never have
made such a charge against the Democrats.
They have said, and in behalf of the party
we now repeat, that if the right of suffrage
is taken from the negro, be will be in !V
worse condition, than lie was as a slave. 11c
needs the ballot to protect'his right of
person and property and to secure educa
tion &r his offspring.
Ben says that the Republicans advocate
the killing of Democratic negroes. He
knows this is untrue.
Ben mentions the charge that Governor
Bullock was in sympathy with, or actually
aided,’ tJlis killing'iiiovcment, and then
hypocritically adds: “I do not know that
this was so.” The rascal knows it iros
’ not so. ,ft
acknowledges that
the was a secret understanding among
the Democrats that the Legislature should
adopt some plan to disarm the blacks.
That being accomplished, of course they
could be butchered with safety.
He further substantially acknowledges
that in (heir plans, ttic Democratic leaders
had marked Cup tai us Pimhcß and Murphy.
The reason assigned is that these ex-Fede
ral officers might obtain the confidence of
the negro, and thus be elected to office.
Suppose thy did ? Is office-seeking a
crime i If it were, Ben Hill would have
been gibhetted long ago. But because
Pierce and Murphy were Federal sol
diers, and were not ready to apologize for
being loyal, the Democrats marked them
as victims for assassination. It was vfites
that Fierce and Murphy wanted—not
blood—and Hill knows it. The Demo
crats were not Willing to give them votes,
but were determined to take their blood.
No amount of wriggling will enable the
Democracy to remove this impression from
the minds of impartial and disinterested
men.
The other excuse for the proscription of
Pierce and Murphy is too flimsy for any
notice. Land that hitherto brought $lO
to S2O per acre can now be had at $1 per
acre in gold—ami hence the Camilla massa
cre. Oh, Ben, Ben, Ben— you're a fool.
Ready to Die for Principle.—Ben
Hill, in his letter to the New York
Tribune, says that he has never seen the
day when he would not have given his life
“to preserve the Constitution.’ Whew ’
what a whopper! Every man. woman and
child in Georgia knows that, during the
entire war, he never once risked his carcass
in defence of the Confederacy. He per
suaded, dragged and drummed the masses
of the people into the causeless and hope
less struggle, but the gun was not invented
with sufficient range to hiivc reached Ben.
Hill.
J CLEAR RACK DOWN.
A document appears in the Democratic
papers, which is such a remarkable exam
ple of backing down, that wc cannot
refrain from giving it n ‘‘'special notice.”
It is entitled “An address by the Central
Executive Committee of the Democratic
party of Georgia.”
The committcce start out with the denial
that their party is still , rebellious in spirit
or that they intend, in the event of the'
election of a Democratic- President, to
arrest tiie operations of the reconstruction
acts in any other way than by an appeal to
the Supreme Court. “Notwithstanding,’’
say- the committee “wc hold t hat the Re
construction acts were enacted outside of
the Constitution, and without Constitu
tional authority, wc do not propose or
intend to maintain our position by a resort
to force. The constitutionality of these
acts is a question for the Federal judiciary
upon a proper case made.” This is the
sum and substance of the document issued
by the Democratic Central Committee—
this is the ziw platform of the party.
That it is a new platform, ami a complete
abandonment of the old, nobody ought to
know better than the rank and file of their
party. When before lias any organ of theirs
declared that the election of a Democratic
President was only going to result in a law
suit? Nowhere, in all the incendiary
speeches of lliLir, Toombs A Co., can be
found the declaration that they are only
going to law to overturn the present State
government, and abrogate the reconstruction
acts ! Nothing but “ blood, lago, blood I”
was the burden of their declarations. If the
contest was to be only an amicable and
peaceful one, to be fought out in the
what use have they for the Ku-Klux?* Why
all this violence and proscription ? Why the
massacre of Union men ami negroes ? Why
the threats of driving out tho “ carpet
baggers, and scalawags?” Why all this
libelous, personal abuse of members of
the other party, in the prospective suit?
Such conduct serves no purpose except to
damage their own cause.
Besides, is it necessary to elect a Demo
cratic President in order that the Democ
racy may go to Ihw ? The Supreme Court
is as open now as it will be if a Democrat
is elected. Docs the committee pretend to
affirm that a Democratic President can so
overawe or corrupt the Court as to procure
a decision which could not be got under a
Republican President / This committee
have but a low estimate of the independ
ence and integrity of the Court they pre
tend to reverence so highly. If they must
have a Democratic President, it would be
hard to find one more ready to do their
bidding than A. Johnson : he is the most
Democratic of Democrats, and why not
make a ease now while they have got him
in the Presidential chair, rather than, by
waiting, run the risk of never making one
a* all by never again electing a Democratic
President.
How can this committee, or the Demo
cratic party of Georgia, of which it is the
mouth-piece, or rather professes to be, sup
port their Presidential ticket with such a
wide difference between them and their
Candidate for Vice President. Their plat,
form nnd tb.-ft of Frank Blair are even
wider apart than theirs and that of the
Republicans. They say : “We hold, then
that the question of the constitutionality
of the acts referred to is a question for the
judiciary, and not for an appeal to arms,
or any violent revolutionary measures to
be initiated by the President of the
United States to set up, or set aside
those measures by his own mere will,”
while Blair says, “There is but one way
to restore the Government and Constitu
tion, and that is for the President elect to
declare these (the reconstruction) acts null
and void, compel the army to undo its
usurpations in the South, disperse the
carpet-bag State Governments, allow the
white' people to re-organize the State
Governments.” Was there ever such a
collision between a party and its leader ?
The one says the army shall be used by the
President to nullify the Reconstruction
acts, and that he must “trample into dust
the usurpations of Congress known as the
Reconstruction acts.” The other declares
that the constitutionality of the Recon
struction acts is not a question for us to
appeal to arms, and that the President
should not inaugurate revolutionary mea
sures to set aside these acts—Blair shouts
“must we submit; shall we submit ?” The
committee mildly manner, “In our own
State wc recognize the government which
has been organized, and will recognize
it now, and henceforth, if not superseded
by authority of law.” The committee and
the party may be Seymourners, but they
can hardly be called Blairites. Do they
intend to repudiate their candidate for
President I “Call you this backing your
friends’”
It is not difficult to understand this
sudden change of tune on the part of the
Georgia Democracy. The atrocious utter
ances of their orators atid the violence of
their press have worked the defeat of Sey.
mour. All over the North the speeches of
Toombs & Co. have been scattered broad
cast, and no talent or ingenuity could
produce documents so effective for the
benefit of the Republican party. Now,
when the medicine has done its work, comes
a warning from the Northern Democracy,
that if the tone of the oracles of the South,
ent wing of Hie party is not moderated,
the last faint hope of success will be forever
gone. They send out an exhortation to
“talk soft," to manufacture a little modern
tion for the Northern market, to achieve
victory, if possible, by pretending to desire
only peaceful and legitimate means. Sue
cess once achieved, however, they may
repudiate their peaceful platform, as they
have just attempted to repudiate their
warlike and revolutionary one—but it will
not do, the doom of the Democratic party
is sealed—all its writhings and twistings
will only prolong its agony, without avert
ing its fate.
Special Notice.—Wc do not undertAke
to return rejected communications.
OUR ADVICE HEEDED.
We were not without hope that the
Republican, by its constant and earnest
exposure of the folly and wickedness of
the policy of hate adopted by the Demo
crats of Georgia would cause them to halt,
reverse their engines of abuse, let off some
of their sulphurous steam, and' run their
trains at a moderate, conservative rate of
speed. But wc did not expect to realize
the reward of our labors so speedily.
Verily, there is nothing like possessing
convictions, and expressing those convic
tions fearlessly. Wc have warned the
Democracy of the mischievous and
unhappy effect of their style oi conducting
the campaign. They have heeded
our advice. The Macon Journal <£• Mes
senyer is getting as mild as the Christian
its editor professes to be should be. Her
schel V. Johnson has responded to our
late personal appeal, and condemns vio
lence of language or conduct. Even little
Ranse Wright says there has been too
much rash talk. JudgeCabiniss has won
derfully improved in temper and style.
Even those obdurate cusses in the Georgia
House of Representatives arc taming down.
We have them on probation. Shumate’s
report on the rights of everybody is in
marked contrast with his past conduct. But
he will not learn how to conduct him
self very fast. For instance, he fails to tell
the political truth in the report to which
this is an allusion. To-morrow we shall
point out how widely he has inissed the
mark. We shall send him to the foot of
our class of reformed Democrats. For his
condolence and encouragement, however,
wc whisper in his ear that wc have more
faith in him than we have in Rance, as wc
don’t believe in Rance’s sincerity—Rance
is so unreliable.
• •
MURE DISAFFECTION—SEYMOUR
URGED TO DECLINE.
Mr. Seymour’s declaration shat his
“nomination had plunged him into a sea
of trqubles,” was literally true. On Sun
day morning wc published the significant
mutterings of the Freeman's Journal, an
old Democratic and Catholic organ, as
well as the announcement of the open
repudiation of Mr. Seymour by the popu
lar and influential Irish newspaper, The
Irish People. The day previous wc pub
lished the overwhelming condemnation of
Seymour by that life-long Democrat and
patriotic statesman, General John A. Dix,
who was President of the Philadelphia
Johnson-rebel Convention, in August, 1866.
Only the day preceding the publication of
that letter it was authoritatively proclaim
ed that Wm. 11. Seward, (who carries on
his shoulders the statesmanship and brains
of the Johnson administration,) would use
his vast personal influence for Grant and
Peace, and against Seymoue and another
War.
And the panic at the North is increasing ’
The last New York Sun, one of the oldest
and most influential dailies published in
that city, and which is Democratic in
politics, if it is anything, lias a leading
editorial urging, in the most earnest and
emphatic terms, Mr. Seymour to withdraw
from the canvass, and recommend his sup
porters to yo in for Grant. In order that
the Southern Democracy may understand
the true state of .the canvass at the North,
and some of the reasons adduced by the
Sun in support of the propriety of the
adoption of its recommendation, we annex
the closing paragraphs of its labored
leader:
It, thoreioro, becomes Governor Seymour and
the Northern wing of the party to see whether
they cannot, by a graceful retroat from this po
sition, save their honor, and at tho statue time
secure some influence and patronage under the
next Administration. Let Governor .Seymour,
then, in a broad, comprehensive, statesmanlike
letter, such as he is well able to prepare, with
draw from the canvass, urge his supporters to go
in for Grant, and thus make his election unani
mous, and restore an era of good feeling such as
prevailed when James Monroe was homo into
tho Presidential ehair on tho shoulders of all
parties, nearly fifty years ago.
There are many motives that should impel the
party to take this course, besides the defeat
which now stares them in tho face. General
-Grant is a Democrat of the old Jeffersonian and
Jacksonian school. Ho is one of the most lib
eral of men. There is no inconsistency in the
conduct of tho thousands of Democrats who
have already rallied to his standard. By now
going over to him in a body, and makiug him in
name what be is in sentiment, a national candi
date, Governor Seymour and the. Deme.cracy
would entitle themselves to a warm place in the
affections of one who is as distinguished for
generosity as for braver’ . V o should then have
arcunion of all parties under a kind hearted,
clear-headed, firm and judicious Chief Magis
trate, that would revive tho halcyon days of
Monroe, when not a note of discord was heard
throughout the land, and our country went for
ward in a career of prosperity auj glory, which
has never been witnessed since that day.
Ono es the chief obstacles to arriving at the
object we contemplate has happily been removed.
Negro suffrage, recently so formidable a stem
bling block to tha Democracy, is broken in
pieces by the Southern wing of the party, aud
they are now gathering the colored voters into
the Democratic folds iu all the reconstructed
States. If it be objected that the course
indicated .might tarnish the prestige of Gov
ernor Seymour, we can only xeply that it
would be received by all men whoso
opinions are ofitho slightest value as one of the
most magnaninous and truly patriotic acts ever
performed by a great statesman. It would
involve no inconsistency and betray no incon
stancy, for Governor Seymour did not desire the
nomination —was forced into it by a train of
adverse circumstances, and accepted it only
under an extreme pressure. By now withdraw
ing and allowing Gen. Grant to be unanimously
elected, he would win tho respect of his oppo
nents, evoke the gratitude of patriotic men of all
parties, place himself in a position to exert a wise
influence upon the polxey of the incoming ad
ministration, reorganize parties on a now basis,
give the Democracy a renewed lease of life, aud
prepare the way for his own future advance
ment.
This act could in no just sense bo regarded as
a surrender of Gov. Seymour and bis party to
Gen. Grant, but only a yielding to the exigencies
’-fan extraoridary crisis; though, after Robert
E. Leo, doubtless one of the foremost Generals of
the age. bad surrendered to Grant his sword and
one of tho most powerful military and civil
organizations cf modern times, it would
certainly be no disgrace to Horatio Seymour aud
the Democratic party to emulate such an exam
pic.

Ready to he Sacrificed. —Ben Hill
talks flippantly abont being willing to die
for his principles. Ben remiuds us very
much of the Colorado editor, a memoran
dum of whose business we published on
Sunday morning. We quote:
Spoke of political principle? lor which 1-
was willing to sacrifice my life, 118.
Changed my political opinions, 16.
Ben's is a similar case. He talks of his
willingness to he sacrificed for, and changes
his political principles with equal facility.
CONDEMNED ON ALL HIDES.
The Democratic account of the Camilla
outrage is all that is necessary to establish
the criminality of the Sheriff of Mitchell
county and his potse of sympathizers and
abettors. The New York S>t>, disposes of
the affair in the following trenchant para,
graph :
The Camilla murders in Georgia, according to
the rebel accounts, turn out to be a morn skir
mish, in which a few negroes were seriously
hurt, from their own imprudence in wishing to
carry guns, which the Sheriff took from them :
but we don’t hear of the whites being disarmed,
or they could nut have turned their guns upon
the imprudent negroes. Do the authors of this
outrage fancy they can gull the North by sueh
subterfuges? If they do, they will bo sternly
undeceived at no distant day.
It Succeeds Better.—At the com
mencement of the campaign the Georgia
Democrats attempted the formation of
colored Democratic Clubs. Those kind of
dubs did not have much effect on blacks.
They now have adopted a new plan of
electioneering, with much greater success.
They shoot all their opponents that at
tempt to peaceably assemble for the pur
pose of hearing Grant and Colfax
speeches. Those that arc killed can never
vote, and those who escape will be afraid
to attempt it. By this programme the
Democrats expect to cast a united vote for
Seymour and Blair.
k-—■
No Nationality.—The reftl trouble with
the Democracy of Georgia is, that in all
their speeches, letters, conversations and
feelings, there is a total absence of anything
like sentiments of elevated nationality. They
neither feel nor act as if they considered
themselves as citizens of the United
States, butas Georgians—Southerners— Con
federates. Even their Northern Democratic
allies are regarded as sympathetic friends
belonging to a different nationality. As to
Northern and Southern Republicans, they
arc haled with an intensity of malignancy
unequalled by savages. This is all wrong.
Good men should see tolhe righting of this
condition ot Southern politics.
.Personally Related?—lt will be remem
bered that Frank Blair was kept before the
New York Convention by Gens. Preston, of
Kentucky, and Wads Hampton, of South
Carolina. From the following, which we
find in the Cincinnati Commercial, it will be
seen that they wore simply pushing forward,
a relative:
Francis Preston Blair, senior, is the son of
General Francis Preston, who lived and died at
Abingdon, Washington county, Virginia. Gon.
Wade Hampton’s wife is a daughter of Gon.
Preston, and a half sister of F. P. Blair, senior.
Gen. Preston, of Kentucky, is a nephew of Gen.
Preston, of Virginia, and consequently a'cousin
of F. P. Blair<jr.
Oh Ho!—The editor if the Columbus
Sun rs mad because Hon. A. 11. Stephens
was permitted to examine some of the
records constituting the “ Rebel Archives’’
at Washington, after the aforesaid editor
discovered that he could gain no such favor.
When the country shall find that the editor
of the Sun possesses the character and in
tellect of Mr. Stephens, perhaps he will
be treated with like consideration.

Why he Stumps it. —The Seymour De
mocracy complain because General Sicki.es
stumps it. The conduct of Mr. Seymour’s
friends at Gettysburg, in 1863, compelled
General S. to stump it the remainder of his
days. They shot off one of his legs.
