“I can, under no circßmstanvcs, vote the
present Democratic programme. I have no
special fondness for Republicans. But they
never deceived us, and I can at least respect
and trust them. This I cannot do with the
Northern Democracy. They encouraged our
secession leaders and then deserted us—
many of them leading the Union armies
against • us. The Republicans” warned us
against secession, and did only what they
said they would.
“Oa some accounts, I prefer a military
man. As a class, they have few prejudices.
The soldiers of the two armies will be the
first to forget the unhappy past, and rejoice
together in the hope of the future. General
Grant was magnanimous to us in the sur
render. He has uttered" no unkind word pf
us. He has commended the noble qualities
of the Southern army. He is neither a
negro Inter nor a negro worshipper. It can
now be only his ambition to restore the
•Union he bas saved—to restore it in all its
parts, its interests, its sympathies, end its
aspirations. He will not only give us peace
aind prosperity, but a Union we can lore
and a Government we can honor.”

APOLOGY.
Our numerous readers will bear pa
tiently with us for the meagre amount of
matter in our paper this morning. Our
Editor was tiikon ill yesterday, and was
unable to furnish the usual amount of
Editorial as well as selected matter.
To the Covington Examiner, October

horse, for you will be attended to in due
time.

A GOOD HIT.
Col. O. G. Sparks, of Bibb, who now
occupies the seat in the House ol Repre
sentatives, from which Mr. Turner was
recently ejected, is a gentleman of very
dark complexion. The Macon Teleyraph
reports that an old and popular member
of the House, a few moments after the
Colonel was sworn in and took his seat,
slid around to where he was seated and
whispered just loud enough for those to
hear it in that part of the House :
I am glad, Colonel, to see you seated as a
member of this House; but imust say that
if old Bibb wanted a white man here, she
made very little by getting you in place of
Turner.
HON. B. B. DEGRAFFENUIED.
The Macon Telegraph of yesterday, in
alluding to the nominination, on the night
before, of Hon. B. B. DeGraffenried as
the Republican candidate for Congress
from the Fourth Congressional District, in
place of Mr. Fitzpatrick, says:
“This is a decided change for the better.
DeGraffenriod is not of the genus carpet
bag, but a man of talents and intelligence,
and a native Georgian. Although a mem
ber of the Bar in respectable practice, he
has been, perhaps, better known to the
people of Georgia as Secretary of the
Executive Department under Governors
11. V. Johnson and Brown, and now under
Governor Bullock, and one of the old line
Democrats of the State. We fail to com
prebend precisely how Mr. DeGniffenried
got where he is now m politics, but never
theless he seems to be there. He lacks no
qualification for a respectable and useful
member of Congress.”
■
Hok. William Schley. Wc are gratified
to see that our brethren of die Savannah
press are becoming reconciled to the ap
pointment, by Governor Bullock, of Hon.
Wm. Schley, as Judge of the Superior Courts
of the Eastern Circuit. The Republican
of yesterday states that the Judge was in
Savannah on Thursday last, and assumed
the duties of his new position, and adds :
Judge Schley is a pleasant, courteous
gentleman, well versed in the law, and wo
have no doubt but ho will give great satis
faction as Judge of the Superior Courts of
this District.
The Netos is still a little sore over the ap
pointment ; but it, too, will soon become
ashamed of its opposition to so excellent a
gentleman as Judge Schley simply on ac
count of an honest difference of political
opinion.
—— - • ♦- •
Gen. Grant in 1803.—1 n August, 1803
at the close of the great Tennessee cam
paign, General Grant wrote a letter to the
Mempnis Chamber of Commerce, iu reply to
an invitation to a complimentary dinner.
From this short epistle the Democrats, and
the Republicans also, can learn a little more
concerning his political principles and pol
icy. For example, he says :
“ The stability of this government and the
unity of this nation depend solely on the
cordial support and the earnest loyalty of the
people.”
A little further on he says :
“ They (the army) will rejoice with me
that the miserable adherents of the rebellion,
whom their bayonets have driven from this
tair land (Tennessee), are being replaced by
men who ackcowledge human liberty as the
only true foundation of human government.-’
These statements of General Grant fur
nish an excellent opportunity for the Demo
crats to renew their assaults upon him.
.. .. - ♦ - -» ■
The Hartford Post says : “ The Louis
ville Journal says of Gov. Vance's speeches
in North Carolina : “ Every word weighs a
ton.” What of it? We put Carl Schurz
against him, whose “every word” is
Tbu-ton.
PEACE OR WAR.
Editor Republican : .
After all that can or may be said, the
main question at last before the people, is
peace or war. Will the voters of this coun
try follow their real interests, and take
Grant, peace, protection, security from vio
lence, the supremacy of the law, and restored
prosperity, or will they rush headlong after
the rebels and their sympathizers, for Blair
ixnd Scyn»Gur tviolhcr vmit? For*
surely as the sun shines, if Blair and Sey
mour could, by any possibility, be elected,
we should have a new revolt.
Grant, standing upon reconstruction as a
finality, stronger than his platform and
stronger than his party, will enforce the laws
and restore order and Union. Os a strong,
unyielding will, he only can bring the revo
lutionists to ‘heir senses; and yet ho is
moderate, while firm, generous and mag
nanimous, and will be as conciliatory to the
fallen South as our conduct and the public
good will authorize. Though Seymour
is the candidate for President, Blair is
the real ticket, and the Rebels know
it. Seymour, being weak and timid,
will be entirely overborne by the plat
form, and by Blair, Hampton, Toombs
and Forrest. He will be mere wax
in their hands, mid a new revolution
will begin on bis inauguration, should he bo
elected. By the sword they will attempt to
undo all that has been done for restoration,
for to that policy they are pledged by plat
form and leaders, ami then the next war
begins. In 1860, the Breckinridge men
denied, during the canvass, that they were
for secession; and yet, within twenty-four
hours after Lincoln's election, they began
thqjr work of ruin. And remember it, citi
zens, every man under fifty years of age,
white or black, who votes for Seymour and
Blair, is, by that act, enrolled for the war—
not for six or twelve months, or three years,
but for the tear, if it continues thirty years.
I know whereof Ijvritc. Then, my country
men, if prejudice or the pressure will uot let
you vote for Grant, for your own and family s
sake, stay at home. Don’t vote lor Blair and
war, the conscript officer, the tithing-raan
and impressing agent.
The <£iy that sees Semnour, us Com
mander-in-Chief, attempt, to abrogate the
laws and to overthrow these State Govern
ments by the Army, that day will see' the
second in command ref use to obey the orders
of his superior, and that day will seo the
Army and the loyal millions, who prefer any
Government to lawlessness, violence and
anarchy, proclaim the General of the Armies,
Ulysses S. Grant, Lord Protector of the
Republie. And, at the point of his sword,
he will drive tin sc traitors to liberty and
humanity from the temple of our freedom.
Mark the prediction. Marlborough.

house-
Mr. Price moved to reconsider the action
of the House relating to the loss of the bill
•for the relief of honest debtors. He spoke
in favor of the reconsideration, and said that
this was a bill for the relief of poor people,
and that they deserved relief as much as the
rich class, and he hoped that it would be en
tertained for their sake. The creditor should
not have a lien on the bone and muscle of
the debtor. The little that the poor man
had accumulated should not be taken away
to satisfy the rapacious desires of the law.
The relief law as passed here will not give
relief to this class of our people, and I
think that this Legislature should do some
thing for their relief. As far as I am con
cerned I would not favor relief —I would vote
against it; but it is my desire to do some
thing for honest debtors, and I think this will
meet the ease.
Mr. Harper, of Terrell—l think that this
bill has taken the course it should. 1 have
been willing to grant relief to our people,
since they have become impoverished, and
I think the relief bill which was passed by
the House will answer all purposes. It
affords more relief than this bill. This bill
is a Statq bankrupt bill, and is not neces
sary.
The previous question was called, and the
the motion to reconsider lost.
Mr. Williams, of Morgan, moved to re
consider the bill to prevent the trespass of
stock in the county of Morgan, lost yes

Mr. Williams spoke iu favor of reconsid
eration, stating that it was the desire of
his constituency that such a bill should pass.
Mr. Park, of Greene, said it was a local
bill, and he thought it was necessary for
such a bill to pass. He thought it was the
desire of the people of the county that such
should be the law.

LETTER FROM ATLANTA.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 30, 1868.
Dear Republican:
Georgia must and will give a ma
jority of at least 10,000 for Grant and
Colfax. We are just entering upon the last
month of the canvas. This time must be
improved.
Republicans, lovers of liberty, of equal
rights, of peace and order—let ecert/ man
who is opposed to another term of military
rule—to heavy taxation—to an intermina
ble era of hard times, strife and disunion,
vote, and not only vote, but work for Grant
and Colfax, from now until the night before
the election.
Working men of Georgia, awake to your
interests! As you love your homes and
■ families, and desire protection to them—
' as you want to enjoy the produce of your
labor, and all the blessings of free and
good government, work for Grant and
Colfax, the Nation s hope—the standard
bearers of a party who are security to the
poor as well as the rich—the enjoyment by
■ the one of all the rights and privileges of
the other. There is no aristocracy in this
1 party—such as you knew before the war,
1 is not recognized with us —the principles of
i the Holy Writ are our principjes,
I and we now confidently appeal to
' you to break loose from that party whose
■ only concern for you is to vote you and ruin
I you, and act henceforward with those of
' your kind—with those who are pledged to
regard your interests and own and acknowl
edge you as their equals.
If Grant and Colfax are elected, which
; they will be, • the State Government as it
now exists will remain, the Constitution—
the best the State has ever had—which was
ratified by the people, will still maintain its
, authority. The homestead law and the
educational law will still be yours. Your
■ children will be thoroughly educated—pre
pared to go out to battle with the world,
and to outstrip the wealthiest and the proud
est of your country. Your families will be
safe and protected from violence and de
privation of home and the comforts of life.
You will be under an administration that
1 will guard your every interest, restore our
unhappy country to peace and qu-iet, pros
-1 perity will return and good government
prevail.
If Seymour and Blair arc elected, what
will be the result? Not since the war has
there been a time that will be a parallel to
it. Your Constitution will be immediately
) wiped out; our Governor will be dethroned;
the negroes will be deprived the franchise ;
social ostracism, to say the least, of your
selves, family and friends, will be the order
of the day. Do you not sec plainly what
this will lead to ? Your public schools will
be closed, your children made to grow up in
ignorance and dependence. The currency
will depreciate more and more. Anarchial
government will be our portion.
i Ponder these facts, men of Georgia, and
show your love of Republican government—
pride in your nation’s greatness —by voting
for Grant and Colfax. Fulton.
