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.” NationftlUepubliffin AUOUSI'A. <»A.

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 Ist, we will say, don’t get on such a high 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.

Adjourned till 3$ o'clock this afternoon. 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 terday. 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.

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.
