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. | NiitionftlHcpublican AUOUSiTA. <>A.

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.

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.

Wc,hope all Democrats, (and everybody else,, as to that 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.

We would advise the lirrt'in.x V 1,1 adept B |e motto oI a distinguished Georgian —“Forage on the Enemy. Let us have I‘eace.—.l/fcafo Era 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. COL ‘RED DEMOCRATS KOTIN WITH THKlli EYES OPEN.

Ila 1 Hall- DEM)CRATK’ MAD-CAPS--Ti/E NEGHO. 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 and serve them. They have plead in vain -for that privilege. Why Was it not granted ? Why are not the colored people.of the South, almost to a man, so-called Democrats to day ‘I ’i hmmrtswer is plain, and need not be stated here.
