REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
The National Republican party of the United .States,
assembled in National Convention, in thu city of Chi
cago, on the 20th day of May, 1868, make the following
Declaration of Principles :
Ist. We congratulate the country on the assured sue
cess of the reconstruction policy of Congress, as
evinced by the 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 a state of anarchy.
2d. The guarantee, by Congress, of equal suffrage to
all loyal men in the South was demanded by every con
sideration of public safety, of gratitude and of Justice,
and must bo maintained, while the question of suffrage
hi al! 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 and abroad, not only
according to the letter, but the spirit of tho laws
under which it was contracted.
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, contracted, as it has been, lor
the preservation of the Union for alb 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, whenever it can honestly be done.
6th. That the best policy to diminish our burden of
debt is to so improve our credit that capitalists will seek
to loan ns money at lower rates of interest than we now
pay, and must continue to pay, so long as repudiation,
partial or total, open or covert, is threatened or sus
pected.
7th. The Government of the United States should be
administered with the strictest economy, and the cor
ruptions which have been so shamefully nursed and
fostered by Andrew Johnson call loudly for radical re
form.
Bth. We profoundly deplore the untimely and tragic
death of Abraham Lthcoln, and regret the accession of
Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, who has acted
treacherously to tho people who elected him and the
cauße he was pledged to support ; has usurped high
legislative and indicia! functions; has refused to exe
cute the laws; has used his high office to induce other
officers to Ignore and violate the laws; has employed
his executive powers to render insecure the property,
peace, liberty and life of the citizen; has abused the
pardoning power; has denounced tho National 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 an
engine of wholesale corruption; and has been justly
impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, ami
properly pronounced guilty thereof by the vote of
thirty-five Senators.
9th. 'Hie doctrine of Great Britain and other European
powers, that because a man is once a subject, he is
always so, must be resisted at every hazard by the
United States, as a relic of the feudal time, not author
ized by the law of nations, and at war with our national
honor and Independence. Naturalized citizens are enti
tled to be protected in all their rights of citizenship as
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, iu this country, and if so arrested
and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to
interfere in his behalf.
10th. Os al! who were faithful in the trials of the late
war, there were none entitled to more especial honor
than the brave soldiers and seamen, who endured the
hardships of the campaign and cruise, ami imperilled
their lives In the service of the country. The bounties
and pensions provided by law for these brave defenden*
of the nation are obliagtions never to be forgotten. The
widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wants of
the people, a sacred legacy bequeathed to the nation’s
protecting care.
11th. Foreign iunuigration, 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.
19th. This Convention declares its sympathy with nil
the oppressed people which arc struggling for their
rights.

Our friends in all the county towns of
the State will oblige us by sending us,.at

‘‘Swinging Rovmi"the CfitiLt:.”—Sev-
Mocit is now busily engaged "swinging
round the circle.” I’he New York World
is joyful, and Ashy Johxsox is in eostieies.
The red hot Democrats say that the World
really desires Seymour’s defeat, and, as for
Axnr, he is laughing to see the Demo?
cratic candidate committing a like blunder
with himself in 1860. He then “swung
round the circle,” and lost thousands of
votes by it As “misery loves company,’’
so Johnson is glad to have Seymour
‘swing round.”
Mistaken- tw ash Mistaken New.—
In 1861 Horatio Seymour told the people
that the war lor the Suppression wi the re
bellion was a failure- But the people
responded : “No, the war is and shall he a
success,” and they rejected, Mr. Seymour’s
candidate lor the Presidency. Now, Mr.
Seymour, in the same strain cries out, Rc
constructiuh is a failure. But the people
responded : "No, Reconstruction is mil
shall be a success; we have willed it, “mid
Gen. Grant says, “the will of the people >
the law of the land,” and they will n(l<
reject Mr. Seymour for the Presidency.
NO REGISTRA TICK REQUIRED lo )R
PRESIDE NITAh ELECTION.
No one is required to register hi order to
vote for President and Vice President.
All qualified voters, whether thee are
registered or not under the Militate Bills
are entitled to vote in the election, next
Tuesday.
ENEMIES TO THE STATE.
Georgia has no greater enemies than
some of the editors of Democratic news
papers within her limits. Their course in
relation to the visit of Gov. Bullock to
the North should cause them to beheld in
execration by every upholder of the honor
and integrity of the Empire State of the
South, Why did the Governor visit the
North ? Not in the interest of the Repub
lican party, for he would render infinitely
greater service to that party in the State
than he can out of it. Not to accomplish
any private ends of his own. His greatest
enemy has not made this charge against
him. No! He did not go for any parlizan
or selfish purpose; but it is a fact, noto
rious throughout the State, that he went
on business in which the credit and honor
of Georgia was and is involved.
After the Legislature at Atlanta became
Democratic, to meet certain liabilities of
the State, and without any solicitation on
his part, they authorized the Governor, on
behalf of the State, to contract for the loan
of a certain sum of money. Had not this
loan been absolutely necessary, would the
Democratic Legislature have authorized
it ? What Democratic editor will cast the
first stone nt the Democratic Legislature?
To carry out the expressed wishes oi
the Legislators, the Governor went North,
and now the Democratic editors in Georgia
arc crying down the credit ot the State.
Their conduct does not injure Governor
Bullock. It does not injure the Republi
can party, as a party. But it is ruinous to
Georgia. We call on the people to rebuke
such infamous conduct. The men who in
dulge in such warfare are enemies to the
titate, and public opinion should so brand
them. There can be no apology or excuse
for them. It is notoriously unpatriotic,
and if it could succeed, the credit oi
Georgia would be blasted forever, and the
State little better than Confederate bonds.
But they will not succeed. We have a
man at the head of affairs who will never
permit the honor of the State to be tar
nished. That man is Rufus B. Bullock.
Peace in Auousta.—There need be no
fears that there will be any public disturb
ance in this city on Tuesday next. Mayor
Blodgett has an ample force, the Sheriff
of the county will have an effective posse,
and last, and more potent than all, a com
pany of United States troops are here to
quell any riotous proceedings. There will
be no fuss, and there can be no excuse for
any one remaining away from the polls.
Let us give an increase on Gov. Bullock’s
■ majority. We can do so, if wc try.
Ought to Feel Chuai*.-—We wonder if
those Republicans in the Georgia Legisla
ture who connived at the violation of the
Fourteenth Amendment by the retention of
over forty ineligible members, will not feel
cheap when they read Gov. Bullock’s
truthful and manly denunciation of such
conduct.
♦-
No Right.—No person has a right to
say that Governor Buli.oCK will throw out
the election returns from any portion of the
State, or that he will not do so. Those who
may speak as if advised on the subject, are
guilty of their usual presumption. In case
of fraud and violence on Tucaday next, as
there is certain to be in some localities,
the facts will all bo duly laid liefore Con
gress by the’Chief Magistrate of the State.
Who Cakes?—The Agetit. of the Asso
ciated Press sends over the wires many
unimportant and silly matters. For instance,
our readers were regaled, day before yes
terday, nt our involuntary expense, with the
sui stance of a cald published by John
Forsyth, correcting an alleged misrepre
sentation of the New York Times. This
was a matter of no iniportuiice to the genera'
public. Nobody cares anything about the
opinions of John Forsyth, especially on
the Presidential question.
Wiiat Say Yt:?—Do the editors of' the
Constitutionalist and Chroniele tentinel
approve the scandalous treatment of Ron.
Amos T. Akeh.man at Lincoln Court? Speak
out. The people have a right to know.
Written Si'ekcues.—The Ku-Klux editor
affects to sneer nt Governor Bullock be
cause he had the good sense to commit to
paper his recent excellent speech, in New
York, before its delivery. Frank Blair
diil the same thing at Indianapolis, Indiana,
a few weeks since. If it is right for the
Democratic candidate for the Vice-Presi
dency to read his speeches from the stand,
certainly it is not wrong for the Governor of
Georgia to du so too.
WATCH THEM.
It is intimated that the Democrats have
villainously Hooded the State with tickets
bearing Grant and Colfax at the head,
but containing all the names of the Demo,
cratic candidates for electors. Beware of
these tickets. Every one of them that is
voted counts for Seymour and Blair.
If you cut your ticket out of the
Republican you are sure to l»c right.
*■ I ■■ ■' >■ ———
The Way to Southern Prosperity.—
The election of Grant will be followed by a
tide ot immigration to the Southern States.
New comers will be assured of peace and
security. They will start new branches of
busineeh. They will help to develop our
mineral resources. They will invest tuonrv
so as to make money more remunerative.
They will want to buy farms and home
steads, and land being in demand will be
coruu worth twice as much as it is at present.
Is it xiot the interest of every Southern man
to vot* lor those candidates whose election
will advance the best iiiterc ts < !'dm v. ; h.
Southern country?

Only Six Months-—Remember that six
month's residence in the State, and thirty
days in the county, authorizes you to vote
for President, on Tuesday next. No
manager of an election dare make you take
any of the oaths in the code about your
having lived in the State two years. We
advise Republicans to watch Democratic
managers, and confront them with the new
Oonstitation, if any tricks are attempted.
We have only One Dav to vote for

UTILE EPISODES.
Mr. Editor: Hon. Benjamin 11. Hill
(that’s his title) prates about his having
risked life to dissuade the people from
secession. Ben was at the head of th*
co-operation party, and tho repeated decla
ration was : “ Don’t secede alone—wait
for Virginia and the sister States ; let us go
out in a body!”
Now Benj’ie is trying to sow discord in
families, by persuading wives to leave their
husbands, who have the manhood to face
persecution, ostracism and blackguards, in
order to rescue loved ones from the woe*
which Benjie's counsels, if heeded, are sure
to bring.
Grant and Colfax are the men, under
whose administration all will be well.
Rally to their support, and the thought of
having done so will cheer you when totter
ing on the verge of the grave.
Man is the noblest work of God. Ho is
thrice noble when ho fearlessly discharges
hi* duty. We have had enough of war,
enough of suffering, enough of crimination,
enough of idleness. Come and vote for
Grant and Colfax, and we shall have a
flood-tide of peace, an abundance of good
things, a great deal more of the milk of
human kindness, and profitable employment
for each and every man. S. W.

Remember. —Let white and colored Re
publicans remember that no Democratic
paper in the State has ever denounced the
murder of any Republican by the Demo
crats.
No One Disfranchised.—lt should be
borne in mind that no one is prevented from
voting for President by reason of any dis
franchisement under the Reconstruction
laws. Let every white and colored man in

WHAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE
DOING.
Establishing the free schools, building
Christian churches, paying the national
debt, giving justice to the poor, making
laws for the people, sustaining the State
and National Government, and carrying
every Northern and most of the Southern
States for Grant and Colfax.
WHAT THE KU KLUX ARE DOING.
Let the Camilla massacre, the murdered
negroes, the midnight assassinations, the
threats of war, anarchy and ruin, which
thicken the air with cries of terror and
dentil, send back the answer.
TO FOREIGNERS.
Every male person who has declared his
intention to become a citizen—who lias been
six months resident in the State, and thirty
days in the county, and who has paid all
legal taxes which have been required of
him, and which he has had an opportunity
of paying, is entitled to vote for President
nt the ensuing election.
Remember this, foreigners ! Go to the
Clerk of the Superior Court, “ declare your
intentions,” and then, on Tuesday next,

GRANT AND PEACE.
From a very able article in a recent num
ber ot the New York times, in answer to
the query of the World : “ How is Grant
going to give us peace ?” w-a copy the closing
paragraphs, as follows ;
The whole country - North and South’
East ami West—Republicans and Demo
crats, will feel that in Grant we have for
President a patriot and not a politician— a
man under no such obligalious and with no
such relations to any pat ty as will constrain
him to do so at jts bidding, and for its inter
est, what ho docs not regard as conducive to
the public good—a man of clear judgment,
practical force and energy of character,
and devoid of all ambition but that of pro
moting the peace mid of advancing the
power and prosperity of his country. He
will be tb»' loo! of no faction or party. His
hold upon the confidence and faith of the
people will protect and defend him against
subservience to any clique or undue depend
ence Upon any faction. And this will be
another of the influences which will give
Grant the power to “give ns peace."
We trust wc have answered the World’s
queries, respectfully if not satisfactorily.
We do not believe that journal doubts the
substantial justice of this view of tho ease.
We do not believe tho World itself thinks
that the public confidence in the future
would bo greater in case of Seymour's
election than in case of Grant’s. Seymour
is the favorite, the “idol," the World styles
him, of a political party. Outside of that
party he commands no confidence. His
acts would be regarded us in the interest of
his party, and his feeling, whether just or
unjust, would impair public confidence in
him and thus deprive him of the power to
give the country peace. Grant is not a
party man, Dora politician in any sense of
the word. He commands at this moment
the confidence of a very large part of the
Democratic pirty to a greater degree than
does <lovornor Seymour himself. His elec
tion r. sfM-es harmony and unity of action
' to the two great departments of the Na
tional Government, and thus ends what has
be -n for tlie last three years a potent ele
ment of public disturbance and strife. And
before the four years of his first term shall
have expired, the whole country will have
reason to rejoice in the restoration of
“ Peace and its sequence Prosperity.”

GRANT AND PEACE.
“Let there bo peace,” the warrior said :
And swift as light the word has sped
By North and South and East and West,
Calming the nation’s troubled breast,
Inspiring hopes that still increase.
Tho watchword grows: ‘tis “Grant and Feaoo!”
Peace, nurse of industry ;
Peace over land and over sea ;
Peace to tho shop, the farm, the mart;
Peace to the mother’s blooding heart,
Called on no more for sons to die
In distant fields for liberty.
Peace to the eager, active North,
To aid her enterprise and worth ;
Peace to the battle wearied South—
Peace in the spirit, not the month—
To heal her wounds, to euro her grief,
And give her fainting sent relief.
Peace unto a'l that toil and strive
To hoard the honey in their hive ;
Peace, to give Union, perfect, pure,
Through ages stainless to enduro ;
Os power to bid all discords cease,
And commerce, trade and wealth increase;
Such is the spell of “Grant for Peace!”
Gkobge Vandenhoff.
New York, October, 1868.
TEXAS ITEMS.
Tho Jefferson Times, of the 15th, says
cotton is arriving in that port at the rate of
one hundred bales per day, • imparting a
new and lively activity to the mereanlile
trade.
The Harrison county Flag of the 15th has
favorable reports from every portion of
eastern Texas in regard to the yield of cot
ton. It will be much heavier than was first
anticipated.
The Dallas Herald estimates the crop of
cotton in that county this year at three
thousand bales. Whereupon the Rusk <ob
server says Cherokee will beat those figures
at least one thousand.
The Inquirer, of Gonzales, says that Mr.
E. Lewis, of that city, last winter grafted a
Delaware grape cutting upon a mustang
vine, and the graft has borne two crops this
year. It is a matter of surprise that our
people do not pay more attention to grafting
the better varieties of grapes to our native
vines, and thus improve both.
The Bastrop Advertiser says that the y ield
of cotton in that county will be much larger
than was expected.
A Mr. J. P. Nixon has raised twu hun
dred and fifty bushels of sweet potatoes to
the acre on Galveston Island.
General Speight informs us that the crop
of cotton on his plantation is turning out re
markably well. He says that the trouble is,
that it is all open at once, and that it is
liable to destruction should a storm of any
kind visit us. The general says his planta
tion of six or seven hundred acres will turn
out over a bale to the acre.— IFaco Register.
The Tyler Reporter of the 7th reports the
migration over that country of at least
10,000 hawks. They were Hying from north
east to southwest. Woe to ehickcndoin where
they establish themselves.
A letter from Bastrop, Texas, says gold
and silver constitute the currency there,
greenbacks being entirely ignored. Bastrop
doesn’t care a sentimental who is elected
President.
BEAR IN MIND,
That it is the voter’s right to have an
opportunity of voting for Presidential
Electors on Tuesday next. Hence the
’ necessity for additional boxes at every
1 county scat, as ordered by the Governor.
If the Governor had not so ordered, it
would nevertheless have been the duty of
the managers of the election to have pro
vided means for all to vote.
So sure as all the voters that desire are
i not allowed to vote, by election managers
obeying the "Governor East of the Oconee"
instead of the Governor of Hie State, just
so sure will the vote of Georgia be thrown
1 out by Congress.
-
’ If you put the names of Grant and
I Colfax iu the ballot-box, without the names
’ of the Electors, it will not be counted.
POLITICA L ITEMS.
E. Z C. Judson (Ned Buntline,) writes
from California that that State will give
■ General Grant 10,000 majority.
, The Boston Post remarks that “the Demo
crats enjoy one advantage from the recent
election returns —it uosts them nothing for
powder.”
Frank Blair and Wade Hampton seem to
have formed a partnership in the Jonah
business, much to the injury and discomfort
’ of the Dotnoctaf'c ’.’hale. Ever since the
r New York Convi iniou the unfortunate ani-
■ mtil lias been endeavoring to swallow them
and their doctrines, but the dose is too
nasty, and they are vomited up. This pro-
' cess, as seen by the recent elections, has
resulted in great general debility to the
whale. To remedy this, $>40,000 .worth of
“Buchu” have been ordered, but it is feared
that it is now too late, as the vital forces are
too much weakened.
A Quincy (Ill.) correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune, writing of Mr. Adolph Moses’
advocacy of Grant, says; ‘ Our Hebrew
citizens will ni*iuly all of them vote for
Grant and Colfax. All doubts that may
heretofore have been entertained with
regard to them arc now removed, for Mr.
Moses wields a powerful influence. The
-lews here know that they can rely upon
him as a leader, ant) that gentleman, after
a thorough investigation, is convinced that
General Grant is not the enemy of his
people.
You don't have to pay taxes before
you vote for Presidential Electors.
The Test.—No man can claim to be a
Republican who fails to vote for Grant
on Tuesday.
