[From Harper's Weekly.
VOTING IN GEORGIA.
“ A Slaveholder. that was,” and that
would evidently like still to be, id a few
lines from Savannah, .informs us that the
negro was originally sold to “the South” by
the “infernal Yankee,” aud after pronmmc
iug (is “mean, low life liars,” winds up by
asking, “why don’t you give the negro the
right to vote North ?”
Let us speak of this State. If New York,
like Georgia, had made war upon the Gov
ernment of the United States, and after a
sharp and bloody struggle had been reduced
to submission—and it bird bectnne perfectly
clear that in order to have a'suffieient loyal
ptfrty in the State, the colored population
or any other disfranchised class must be
made voters, it would lie done, zlnd if the
circumstances were such that the question
had been left by the Government to the
Slate ifsolf to decide whether the disfran
chised class should vote, and the proposi
tion had been contemptuously rejected the
Government would properly do what it
thought to be the wisest and most necessary
to promote the general welfare of New York
k and of the country.
P That is precisely what it has done itr
Georgia. When that State and others were
left without any government whatever, the
I listed States said, “you have cost us three
hundred and fifty thousand lives and four
thousand millions of dollars. Now we can
not put a premium upon rebellion and re
wind it when unsuccessful by giving you
increased political power. The slaves are
now free, You say that you don't wish
them to vote. Very well, decide that for
yourselves. But if you decide that they
shall not. thin they must not be counted in
the basis of representation. One.voter in
South Carolina must not be .equal at the
polls to three men in the State of New York.
Decide for yourselves.” This was the
fourteenth amendment. And the States in
question spurned it. Then tlie Government
said, “if you insist upon an actual gain of
power by four baffled rebellion, we will
settle the matter for the good of the whole.”
And it passed the reconstruction laws.
Colored suffrage is a matter of State
.policy in tlie'hirgest sense. The war waged
by “the South” to destroy the Government
gave the Government, when suecessful, the
fight to regulate the suffrage in certain
States. It did in them what circumstances,
including the action of those States, showed
to be essential to the general welfare both
pl those States and of the country. The
war has not given the Government a right
to regulate suffrage in the State of New
York. If it had, we assure “'A slaveholder
that was,” and, please heaven ! that never
again shall be, that we should strenuously
urge upon the Government the good policy
of pefrect equality at the pulls But as it '
is a subject to be decided by the people of I
the State, we lose no opportunity of urging
it upon them.
Meanwhile our correspondent ought to be ■
able to see that, as a matter of fact, negroes
vote in Georgia to-day because the white’
people of Georgia ref used to decide whether
they should or not. |

The National Republican pnrty of the United State.*,
ÜBseijibled in National Convention, in the city of Chi
cago, on the 20th day of May, 1808, nia'ke the following
Declaration of Principles : %
Ist. AVe congratulate the country on the assured suc
cess of the Weconstructien policy of Congress, as
evinced by Iho adoption, in a majority of the States
lately in rebellion, of Constitutions securing equal civil
and political rights to all, and regard it as the duty of
the Government to sustain those institutions, and to
prevent the people of such .States from being remitted
to n «Mte of anarchy.
2d. The guarantee, by Congress, of equal suffrage to
all loyal mm in the South was ilejnajidvd by every con
sideration of public safety, of gratitude and < f Justice,
and Min st be maintained, while the question of suffrage
in all the loyal Slates properly belongs to the people of
those States.
3d. We denounce all forms of repudiation as a na
tional crime, and tin’ national honor requires flic jniy
mem of the public, indebtedness, in the utmost good
faith, to all creditors, at home and abroad, not only
according to the letter, but the spirit of the laws
under wljichit Was contraMefff
4th. It is due to the labor of the nation that taxation
should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the na
tional faith will permit.
sth. The national debt, cofitrar ted, as it has been, lor
the preservation of the Union for all time to come,
should be extended over a fair period for redemption,
aud It is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of in
ter eat theTe on, * henever it can honestly be done.
6th. That tire bert policy to diminish "our burden • f
debt is to so improve that capitalistswill seek
to loan us money at lower rates of-intprest thyn we nor
pay, anti must continue to pay, so long as repudiation,
partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or sus
pected.
7th. The Governnrout of the United States should be
administered with the strictest economy, and the cor
ruptions which have been so snamefully nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for r rdical re
form.
fJth. We profoundly deplore, the untimely and tragic
death of Abraham Lincoln, and regrey he accession of
Andrew Johnson tv the Preiddeney, who has* acted
treacherously to the people who elected him and the
cause he was pledged to support ; has usurped high
legislative and judicial .fnneiimts; Juis refused to exe
cute the laws; has used bis high office (o induce other
officers ttTignore and Violate the lawsL has employed
his executive powers to' render insecure jhe property,
peace, liberty and Mfe of the citiaen) has abust d the
\pardoitfng power; has denounced the “Nat lot a I Legisla
ture as unconstitutionalhas persistently and corruptly
resisted, by every measure in his power, every proper
attempt at the reconstruction of tha States lately in re
bellion; has porWrled the ptblte phtroninto an
engine of wholeajtle cetruptiou; and Iras bedn justly
impaafliiied for high crimes and > mMenjoanbrs. and
properly pronounced guilty -fln’Y'oof by lhe Vote of
thirty-ftve Senators.
9tii. Jhe doctrine of Great Britain and oilier European
powers, that because a man is once a sul»ject, he is
always so, must be .resisted at every hazard by the
United States, as a relic or the leiidal time, not luthor
izod by the law of nations, and wtfr with our national
honar and independence. Naturalized citizens are enti
tled to be protected in (tR their of citizenship as
thoughtbey were natural Dorn, and no citizen of the
United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to
arrest and impriaomneni, by any foreign power, for acts
dune, or words spoken,ln tbfucountry, ami if so arrested
and imprisoned, it is the duty of the. Government to
'interfere in his behalf.
10th. Os all who were faithfuljn thb trials as tlm late
war, there wcro none entitled to more especial honor
than the brave soldiers and seamen, i lib endured the
hardships of the campaigh and cruise, anti imperilled
their lives in the serviceuf tbn couhtfy. The bounties
and pensions provided by law for these brave defenders
of the nation are obkagtions never to be forgotten. The
widows anti orphans of the gallant dead are the waixla of
the people, a sacred legacy beqpj&athed to the nation’s
protecting care.
11th. Foreign ImmigratTon, which in the past has
added so much to the wealth, development of resources,
and increase of power of this nation, the asylum of the
oppressed of. all nation#, should he fostered and encour

Good Auvicn.--The editor of the Bain

matter,) will “go to their knees.” It will
be a novel position for many of them ; btft
they may get usci) to it. But, in his ad
vice, the Argus man makes one important
omission. He omits to tell them when they
prat', to pray “not our will,- but Thy will,
0 Lord, be done.” He omits tn toll th§m
to pray that all‘thoughts of murder, hate,
malice, slander, abuse and viliiiioation
should be prayed from their hearts. It
they will pray thus, it will break up every
Ku-Klux in the State.

Putting it Down Wheremk Found it. —
The Democrats are rejoicing muchly over an
alleged contribution of $45,000 to their
cause by rtie Buchu man. Well, that is
kiinply laying his inoijey down where lie i
picked it up, and where he is certain to pick
it up again. The members of the Demo

Remarks.' There it is again. The Lea
is the first paper (so she say ■> to nominate
General Grant. Ihe New York IFor/tZ
strrtngly endorsed him as a probable Presi
dential candidate, abont thc -same time.
The editor of the IForM was not a Repub
lican then: neither was the Eru, nor did la
profess to he.
General Grant was nominated for the
Presidency through the influence of eclitor<
(and other public men), that never raised
his name to the masthead of their papers
until after his nomination was finally con
summated. The custom of raising tlm
names of* c'Uididates to the masthead of
newspapers before n nomination is had has
olit of fashion long ago among Well
rcgulutcd newspaper men. It is now only
resorted to by adventurous characters, who
take that menus <ff attempting to ingra
tiate themselves with, aud place themselves
in a favorable light in the eyes of, their
champion, so that, if successful, they may
get to pick some of the official'bones. We
hope the Doctor may succeed in his adven
ture in this luie, notwitlidanding his many
political tergiversations since that time.
Tlm‘ Era says.that “it General GiUnt is
a good Republican, so is the Nn.i." There's
brass for you ! Why 3 Grant wa. a Repub
lican and warm supporter of Abkaua.m
Lix< oi.n in 18(i 1, while the' editor of the
Era only confesses to have “closed his
rear" since the election of Governor Bul-
lock. ■
But our main objection to thely it is not the
lateness of the date of its adhesion to the
party, but to its terrible bungling, incom
petency, or worse, from the 4th of July up
to the adjourmnent of the substitute for a
Legislature. When the legislature, through
the corrupt and selfish influence of certain
pretended Repubficans, dcUberately pro
posed to’violate the Fourteenth Article of
the Constitution of the United States, a
vigorous, earnest, sincere Republican organ
at Atlanta would have prevented tile. I'outo
of our party, and every disaster that has,
followed, including Camilla and other
■ massacres and murders. The voice of the
Era. was not heard then Condemning the
errant,'and insisting on the vindication of
the right. It was, perhaps, too-much under
the influence of those desiring a Govi ni
ment of purely "whitq people"—regardless
of principle—to give attention to such
unimportant matters.
"When the tienatoij.al ejection was on the.
tapis, the ALvi was constantly costing about'
among the Democrats foi‘ Senatorial candi
dates-luid recommending them for election.
When one Democrat was finally elected to
the Senate, the Era endorsed him, and
congratulated the country on his election.
The Era asks: “Can’t tin- Augusta
Jlei'UULluax engage in better business than
to be picking at the Ne/r Era ?'' ,’ln reply,
we have tq say that we never have criti
cised our cotemporary, except with feelings
of regret. Wc eotdd submit to its many,
nlislakcs— al least we conceive them to be
such—but it has a mean tvay about it,
which ignores the labors of its co-laborers,
and impudently asserts for itself an impor
tance and influence to which its editor
knows it is not entitled. For instance, the
very paragraph which caused this discus
sion asserts that “it'cannot be denied”
that the &<t has ilone more for the cause,
perhaps, “than all the papers in the South
combined, and is still relied upon as the
hope of Republicanjs'niin Georgia.”
Nowt this claim is impudent ami uu
true’. Heaven help the Republican party
of Georgia if the is the “hope".of the
party in the State! Now tell us of one'
prommeirt Republican that relies upon the
Era as the “hope” of the party. You
ean’t name one, by authority.' If the Eia
avos to come out for Seymour to-morrow jt
would not lose Grant a hundred votes.
People are not in the habit of pinning
thejr faith to editors who are constantly in
so much danger of catching cold in their
“rear.”
We cordially jesjxmd to the Era's senti
ment : “Let us have peace." At the same
time, it shall not put on airs without being
exposed.

Mr. Editor would infer, from the
daily uttarancqfe of the “Augusta Chronicle
J; SentineF’ and the “Martin Journal ff’
Messenger'— leading papers in the interest
of the so-called Democratic party—that it is
the intention of that party, if .successful in
the coining I’residciitial eloctiou, to piakc u
sectnd China' of the South; first,'by forci
bly expelling from their homes all who have
th*i temerity to differ from them, especially
on political questions, suid then to set up a
little Celestial Empire of their own ! Heaven
help ns, and those to come n'ftet us, if soch
mad-caps tire ever permitted to rule. But
they will not I and no one need b? intimi
dated by their impetuosity and rant. The
honest, thiukifig, peace-loving and law
abiding messes of all shades of complexion
arid political opinion at the South are last
beginning to discern the real object of such
Would-be leaders, abd- will, quietly and
j - , auiy if permitted, but m-jst asjuredly,
put their seal of condemnation upon these
ravings at the ballot-box on the first Tues
day in next month.
But I dpj.uot sit down for the purpose -of
arguing the questions of politics wit!}, or to
say aught to offend, the conductors ot the
“red-hqt” journals named. 1 have known
them long, fought in the same political fields
with them, and esteem them as gentlemen.
1 characterize them as mud-caps because of
their undue and persistent severity when
referring to men aud measures not Demo
cratic. I can excuse them for this, however,
to some extent, when I reflect that «cw cmi
verts arc always the most zealous in their
espousal of tiny cause, be it never so un
wise !
It is-the duly of a patriot to conciliate—
r.i.t to influence.; t° keep constantly before
his eyes the one great duty of copciliatißg
conflicting opinions and smoothing away .ex
isting asperities. It should be borne in
mind, that those who think and act differ
ently from ourselves ate men, with all the
frailties of man, and that the oft-repeated
avowal.pf insulting suspicious, or threats, or
oilier aggravating annoyances, will be cer
tain to be met, if not in the same spirit, at
least witlnnanly and determined resistance.
“It is hard, indeed, to bear in silence con
tumely and oppression. It is harder still
to r.efrain from giving back blow for blow. It
is hardest ofjill to act with moderation, when
those wdio are opposed tons push violence
to the extreme. But,, taking selfishness as
the mainspring of life, our own interests tell
us that it is unwise to pour oil upon the flame
of resentment, and that gentleness and calm
ness may conquer the fortune we covet,
while their OpprOaifcs but aggravate the evils
which we suffer.” It should- likewise be
remembered, that self-confidence is the poor
est evidence of wisdom, mid the most Unmis
takable evidence of folly.
Now Io my subject; which is, simply, to
interpose a word in defence of that well
meaning, good-natured ,raee —the negro—
who seems, at this time, in all parts eff the
South, to be the special object of hate with
a certain class of politicians, who ought
now, indeed (as they have declared them
selves), to bo their “best friends.”
1 know the colored people well. 1 was
reared rmong them. I have sported and
fought with them, when boys together;
shared with them my “goodies,” and par
taken, of their “ash-cake” and “’taters.”
But 1 have never appealed to them for posi
tion, or in any manner catered to their
prejudices, superstitions or passions. It is
said tiiatf as a elass, they ate unfriendly to
ihe Southern-born whites. I deny the asser
tion 4 As polluted as‘their counsels may
have I;c6n. and as unkindly (to use no
liars!: r term)’as they hpvc been treated by
tlnv,r: who ought to have been their friends
and patrons through all the trying ordeal
■through which they are passing, they are,
in the main, not only trud tq their former
masters, but anxious to follow their lead

-for that privilege. Why Was it not granted ?
Why are not the colored people.of the South,
