About The National Republican. (Augusta, Ga.) 1867-1868 | View Entire Issue (Oct. 25, 1868)
POLITICAL ITEMS. New York has given the Democrats $40,000 for electioneering purposes. 11. D. Maxwell, one of the leaders of the Pennsylvania Democracy, has declared for Grant and Colfax. Frank Blair, says the Detroit Tribune; visited the Soldiers’ Homo, at Dayton, Ohio, on Monday, and was hissed and groaned out. The Legislature of Indiana stands ns follws: Senate —Republicans, 31 5 Demo crats, 10. House of Representatives- Re publicans, 55 ; Democrats, 43. All the Democratic speeches—more especially Ben Hill's and Frank Blair’s, help the Republican cause. A New York paper :ays it knows of a man who wagered S6OO on the result ot the Pennsylvania election, on the strength of a weather prophet’s prediction that the day would be stormy. The True Democrat,, the leading Irish journal of New Jersey, has hauled down the name of Seymour and Blair, and run up the names of Grant and Colfax. Vallandigliam’s paper, the Dayton Ledger, was filled with cuts of Irish harps and legends of “ Erin-go-brah - ’ on the morning of the election. Alas! these harps are now hung upon the willows. Several New York Democrats, among them Sweeney, Tweed and Harvey C. Mur phy, suggest a repudiation at the Broad head letter, and a denial of revolutionary intentions on the part of Mr. Blair. And now comes poor old Henry S. Foote, once Governor of Mississippi, sin ex-rebel Senator, who is terrified at the handwriting and wants to “ climb down.” He got s for Grant and Colfax. Seme people rem;plain that the r-.tu;ns didn’t come in fast cnoujli on Tuc:<day night. They came as fast as we wauled them. — Boston Post, Dem. During the Democratic procession in Cincinnati, an old lady cheered for Gen. Grant, when a bold “White Boy in Blue” stepped from the ranks and knocked her down. New Jersey Democratic papers have, until recently, alluded to their candidate; Mr. Randolph, as Governor Randolph. They have beard from Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, and have dropped the title. Significant, isn’t it? The United States Senate is now com posed of seventy members. Fifty-eight of these are firm adherents of the Union, and twelve are admirers of the “statesmanship” of Seymour and the “ ferocity” of Blair. General Sickles proposes to indemnify George IT. Pendleton and others, to the exact amount of; their individual interest in the national indebtedness, in Confederate scrip. That proposition makes a practical application of paying one in his own coin. Buchu, according to the picture, is gath ered by Hottentot slaves in Central Africa. That’s why the Democracy like it—it re minds them of the “good old times.” The recent elections have inspired the following lines in the brain of a poet: Indiana supports the tanner, I’cnnayivania has the mania, Therfvfld Ohio makes a trio, While brave Nebraska doos what you ask her. And Jersey blue, is coming too. A Wheeling (W. Va.) Republican con gratulated a twenty-two year old youth from the country on the defeat of Vallandigham. “VaUnndigbem," echoed the youth, “where is ho from?” “From Ohio,” was the answer. . “Oh. yes,” exclaimed the seeker after truth, “ Wasn't he the man who hung Mi s. Surratt." “Sich is fame I” ——’tuv xrutiVttf u«.» HVK-KJIUfU iroeii .UAVtf’nOw “nothing whatever to *Kope for except within the limits of this city ; even Mr. Hoffman’s defeat, it would seem, is Svlured by the decisive victory in Pennsyl vania, and that no soiling out of Mr. Sey moot can now give the State to Tammany.” This is the opinion of only a weekly, how ever. Already several Southern journals de nounce John Quincy Adams as a milk-and water man, “but little better than a rank Radical.” One journal says they “are neither Hindoos nor Hottentots, to be talked 'to like children.” That’s right. Stand up for your independence, and when you can’t stand up, why—lie down for it. The present position of the Democratic party is very much akin to that of the two shipwrecked sailors, who, finding that their frail raft was rapidly going to pieces, said, one to the other : Horatio. “Frank, can you pray ?” Frank. “No; canyon?” Horatio. “No; but something, must be done d—d quick !” It is well to remember that Beauregard wrote to Martin, August 3, 1862, as follows : "We will yet have to come to proclaim this war ‘a war to the knife,’ when no quarter will be asked or granted, I believe it is the only thing that will prevent recruiting in the North.” Os course, Beauregard is in ardent supporter of Seymour and Blair. The World has two ways of accounting for tlie overthrow of its party. One is by “the prestige of General Grant,” and the other by “the perversions of Genera’ Blair’s position.’. If neither bad been nominated, the World thinks the result might have been different. “Henry,” said Mr. Beecher one day to bis son, “I once came very near mnr- Tying Nancy Eaton ; if I had done so, would you "have been you?” We like a good hit, even if our own friends suffer. The following, from a South ern Democratic paper, must tnakg even old Bi n himself laugh : “Below will be found what is deemed u proper text from which to preach ihe funeral sermon of Ben Butler: From Jeremiah, iii., If): ‘And the basins, and the fire-pans, and the bowls, and the caldrons, and the candlesticks, and the spoon , and the cups; that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.’ ” During a. recent discussion in Meigs county, Tenn., between Colonel Stokes, Re publican, and Colonel Garrett, Democratic candidate for Congress, the former charged the latter with accepting a seat in the Legis lature whilst he was in the army : “I was not in the army,” responded Gar rett. “Well, you wore your uniform,” said Stokes. “It was all the coat I had,” rejoined Gar rett. ’ - •‘We!!, why did you not take off th.e shoul der-straps,” Said Stokes. “I wore the straps because 1 looked bettor will) them m. .said Garrett, Buckner, the ex-Demoeratic General, is afraid to meet Republicans on the platform.

BBPt fSiaUAX riiATFOKJir, The National Republican party of the United States, assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi cago, on die 20lh day of May, 1868, make the following Declaration of Principles : Ist. We congratulate the country on the assured suc cess of the reconstruction policy of Congress, a3 evinced by the adoption, in a majority of the Slates lately in rebellion, of Constitutions securing equal civil and political rights to all, and regard it as the duty of the Government to siistain those institutions, dud to prevent the people of such States from being 'remitted tqa state of anarchy. 20. The guarantee, by Congress, of equal suffrage to all loyal men in the South was demanded by every con sideration of public Rftfety. <»f <rrftlitn<le and of Justice, and must be maintained, while the question of suffrage In all the loyal States properly belongs to the people of those States. 3d. We denounce all forms of repudiation as a na tional crime, and the national honor requires the pay ment of the public indebtedness, in the utmost good faith, to all creditors, at home aud abroad, not only according to the letter, but the spirit of the laws under whidhit wa»-conlraclc<l. 4th. It is due. to the labor of tile nation that taxation should be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the na tional faith will permit. sth. The national debt, contracted, as it has been, for the preservation of the Union for all time to come, should be extended over a fair period for redemption, and it is the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of in terest thereon, w henever it can honestly be done. 6th. That the best policy to diminish our burden of Wa'SkmW't'ttwwer'KtM otTnUreattaau n now fliHWi pected. 7th. The Government of the United States should be administered with the strietoat economy, and the cor ruptions which have Leon so shamefully nursed and fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for ridicnl re form. Bth. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic death of Abraham Lincoln, aud regret the accession of Andrew Johnson to the I’ieHidency, who has acted treacherously to the people who elected him . and the cause he nas pledged to support; has nsurf t-tl Idgli legislative and judicial functions; has refused, to exe cute the laws; has used liishigh office to induce other officers to ignore and violate the laws; lias employed his executive powers to render Insecure the property,' peace, liberty and life of the citizen; has abused the pardoning power: has donnmmed the Notional Legisla ture as unconstitutional; has persistently and corruptly resisted, by every measure in his power, every proper attempt at the reconstruction of the States lately in re bellion; has perverted the public patronage into on engine of wholesale corruption; luid has been justly impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, anil properly pronounced guilty thereof by the rote of thirty-live Senators. 9th. The doctrine of Great Britain aud other European powers, that because a man Is once a Subject, ue is always so, must be resisted al every hazard by the United States, as a retie of the feudal time, not author iz<yH>y the law of nations, and al war with our national honor and independence. Naturalized citizens arc enti tled to be piotectcdin all their rights of citizenship ns though they were natural bom, and no citizen of the United States, native or naturalized, must be liable to arrest and imprisonment, by any foreign power, for acts done, or words spoken, tn Ulis country, and if so arrested and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to interfere in bis behalf. 10th. Os all who were faithful in the trials of (he late war, there wore none entitled to more especial honor than the brave soldiers and seamen, who endured the hardships of the campaign and cruise, anil Imperilled their lives in the service of tho country. 'The bounties and pensions provided by law for these brave defenders of the nation are obliagtions never to be forgotten. The widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of the peuple, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation’s protecting care. 11th. Foreign Immigration, 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 nations, should be fostered and encour aged by a liberal and Just policy, ’ 12th. This Convention declares its sympathy with all the oppressed people which ere struggling' for’ Uwir ng Read Out.—ls the New York World, by all odds the ablest and most influential organ of the Democracy, can be summarily read out of the party by a Washington ogrni of the Blairs, wit > became Democrats only because they could not ;et offices enough in tho llopiibltcan party, then, in deed. the Democrat aro in a bad. way. It is hard for them to be compelled to oarrv Frank as a candidate, bnt to be ruled by the Blair family iiimd bo “itifi-lorable and not to be endured.” . Gen. Grant for Frei: Srepcm—At a Republican inerting in New York, Wed nesday night, Hon. Mr. Brewsteu, of Penn sylvania,said that Grant recently addressed a friend in these words; “This niuchl wish, and 1 declare this j,> be my policy, that such a degree ol peace aud tranquility shall exist iu this country that a man mav speak hie mind in any part of our great land, and that without molestation or hindrance.” BlAir of No Account if—•—. -The B'orW states, editpria’ly, that if Seymour is elected President, and if lie lives to per form his duties, th policies of the Vice- Presidents arc of . s little practical account after he is elected as the policies of the WV'or of the Senate Chamber’.-; Clerk. <♦♦ - Jnuiama.—Olliui.d returns ot the vole or majority in all the counties of Indiana, ex cept three, give Bak eh a majority of 1,088.

Post Offls, Confediiit X Roads, | (Wich is in the Stait uv Kentucky, } Oct. 13, 18G8.J I am sometimes gloomy anil despondent, and never more so than now. To me the skies is dark; to me the clouds is lowerin, and the prospex gloomy. First, the crops is tuiin us. Wat we wantid to make ai. nsltoo ruucH doubly shoor wuz a jolly fuilyoor nv crops, lied the wheat failed in Ohio, Inji anny and lllinoy—hed iher potatoes roti 1 in ther fields, and the corn come to naught, we rood bev tarried them States easy. For its the iiacher uv >neu to charge un every thing from a thievin postmaster to the fail yoor uv corn—the first the most triflin, and the latter (in view uv its effeck on the price uv likker), the most stupenjus evils wich ki i affeck mankind—they charge everything uv this kind up to tho account of the party in power, and they vote ngin cm. When mis forchoon waves her red flag in ,thcr faces, they charge agin it like a bull, never tliinkia uv the drawd steel wich is behind to receive cm. My official existence is drawd steal. But Providence is agin ut now, ez in tlw past. Providence hex a most aggravatin knack uv comin in jest at the proper time fur the liepublikin party. Here wuz a preslinre in money matters, in consequence of short crops for years—we stept in and offered and offered a euro in the shape uv a unlimited islioo uv greenbax, but alas! jc«t ez the dose wuz being swallered the crops interfered, givin everybody all the greenbax they wanted, and tnakin it to the interest uv everybody not to her any more afloat for fear it twood depreshate them wich they hed, and at one stroke this plank wuz knoct out from under us. It is my opinion that we’d better drop our finanshcl policy. At all events wo had better let the Pendleton ijec die out in the West and substitute Seymour's for it iu lhat soeshun. It don’t make much difference wat we do in the East ez ther ain’t none uv us ther anyhow, wich is forchnit ez it mile complicate matters. It’s my opinyun that Pcudleton isn’t much uv a statesman anyhow. Anoth-r thing that's working agin us is Bnirc. His rednis uv lace and cheerful conviviality docs much for us in Kentucky wher we don’t want help, hut good Hevins how it tel)-; agin us io the elote States wher He do need help, liis Brodhcd letter soots us in Kentucky; but in Noo Y'urk .wher our people hov business and want peecc it hex made them skoery. It is my opinion that well better drop Blare. Ez to reconsirtickshci), that isn’t jest ez good a kcerd ez we thought it wood be. Wat’s the use uv howlin that the Radikels don't want a restoration uv the States, whi n they’ve admitted ail uv ’em but two or three ? Wat’s the yoose uv whistliu in the free uv sich a north wind? It js my opinion that we’d better drop reconstrucsken. The extravagance of the Radikels wuz a keerd wich I hed hopes uv, but it didn’t amount to nothing. Somehow the people wood ask ns wich uv our lea lets we proposed to pul in the places uv the Ablishnist, and when w-e answered Vallandigham, Fernandy Wood and bis brother, Dau Voorhees and Jesse D.

I’t paying the taxes that hurts— not the politics uv the party wich taxes us tind ez our people don't pay taxes as a rule, they don’t thrill much over taxes. It’s my opinion that we’d better drop taxes. “Ekal tajfashun" wuz ruther hefty at the b?itiniiii)., till the poor men and larmcrs dis kivered that they were ptiyin searsely nothin on their houses, wagons and cows, while the rich cusses wuz carrying the load.

It’puil.ashuu looked well enuff, but that ' wan’t no go. We started out with it, but : aims, a e found most everybody bed bonds, t and everybody hed grtmnbax.

J Its my opinion we had better drop repu diashun. ® “But.' says one Dimocrat, “Et we drop e all these, what will we hev h it?’’ 4 My ingenuous friend, we hev all left that. “ we ever hed. We hev the nigger, and from e him we never ought to hev departid. Tim f iniqnit v.c let go ov him, that ntiunit we Ipst strength- On all these questions there tnav i be some difference uv opinion—on nigger I there can be none- The Dimocrisy are grounded in this. He is their Alpha and ( Omega, their beginnin and end. We don’t . none uv us want to marry niggers—no mat ter how near we may come to it —wc don’t 1 none uv us want to sleep with cm, eat with . etn, vote with era, or drink with cns (unless I' they pay for the iikker), and we wont. So long er. we hev the nigger wo hev a rallyin pint. 1 therefore, that we drop all these , other complicatin ishoos, which are too , hefty for us anyhow, and lull back, forthe November eleckshen, on the nigger—one and indivisable. Es we can’t win on him we can’t win on anything, and may cz. well throw up the sponge. When the Democratic heart won’t thrill at nigger, our cox is lost indeed. Kentucky kin send 20(1 to the North cz Friteful Examples, es they arc needed, for we hev jest about that number in this visinity that we hev hed in trainin for a veer, and hev got em dgwu to oar level. They are pizenin thcrselves reglcrly, and hang about Ihe groseries jest cz we do, wich, in a nigger, is too awful to be endoor- - ed. Whether wc yoose them or not, the nigger is our only holt, and on him wo must cheerily depend. PetkpUsvm V. Nasby, P. M , (wich is Postmaster.) — The Alabama Claims.—A cable dispatch from London says it is reported that the international differences pending between the United States and England, relative to the Alabama depredations, will be referred to the Emperor of Russia for arbitrament. The statement is confirmed by a message received by the United States government ■ from Minister Johnson, but instead of the question being referred to the Emperor of Russia for arbitrament, it was referred to tlw’ King of Prussia. Election Returns.—We have complete official majorities from Pennsylvania, foot ing up a Republican majority of 10,020. Many of the figures art from the official re cords. It is absolutely impossible to tell whether the majority will go over or under 10,000. We do not believe it will vary 20 | either way. i Where tub Laugh Comes In. —We know him, at last. Genius like his can uo lougcr be hidden. Stand forward, Samuel. J. Tilden, and receive the plaudits of an admiring people! You have been the arithmatician of the World; and, with a sublime cour.t a, fur beyond the capacity ot the conductors of that timorous journal, you still : tfek to the ciphering. The JVorld rejects you; but you proudly take your appeal to that smaller corporation, the Democratic party of the State of New York. We print it for you. and applaud. Long may you live to reckon* upon your gains. Ohio, last year, three thousand Republican, is this year only sixteen thousand, which you find to be a Democratic gain. Penn sylvania, last year, nearly a thousand Democratic, is this tear only ton thousand Republiran, which you find to be a Demo cratic gain of th ■ most m&gniflceDt pro portions. From tmh orgcous gains you call upon the Deme-erncy of New York to be inspired. So <o t. . .' lay tho inspira tion be wide-spread end e iduring.—A. Y. Ti ibune.

One oi them is from Texas, another front Ge.'jigia, two arc from South i'oiuiiii:i,x'.nd hr > r-r three others are from Ali.bama, L misiana, end Tetmeisee.

Two thousand revolvers were sent South in one cousigimrcnt three weeks ago, mid shipm-'til ; ot two, three and five hundred revolvers are unpleasantly frequent. Tho Charleston amcr last week took a dozen cases cl h.irdv.';. which was really a lot of hreech-lc ’. ling rilles, destined for pri vate parties' in that city. One dealer in firearms admits that he has more orders than h ■ can fill for the present, but professes not to'know where the weapons he sells are goino. All these facts point rather strikingly to a very disturbed condition of affairs in the South. They strongly remind one of the fall of 1860, when arms and ammuni tion flowed ••„■!<.,-lward in one continuous stream. The Artificial Woman.—The latest process for making women “ beautiful forever” is that invented by Madame Mani quet, of Paris. Au ointment, the secret of which is known only to the inventor, is spread upon a stiff linen, which is applied all over the face, and takes the shape, forming a mask adjusted to the feature. This mask remains on until the ekin rises in thick plistules. It is then withdrawn and a certain salve rubbed over tho face, when the patient must remain entirely motionless, not being permitted to speak, laugh or cry during the formation of the new skin, which operation generally takes about a week to accomplish. This new skin is soft and tender as that of an infant, delicate in the extreme, and must be main tained by the daily use of the softening compound manufactured by Madame Mani quet. Tho first sensation on taking off the mask is one of horror. The visage is swollen ana tnnified exactly as if subjected to severe scald or burn. Many of the patients swoon at the first sight of their own def rinity, as reflected in the long triimeau looking-glasses which adorn the apartment. But Madame Maniquet points to her own blooming visage, ami hope re places alar®, As a matter of course, this skilful renovator of faded charms has hosts of en.: inters, and it is hinted that the Eta press r f ih<> French desires to become oue vfthem.
