AUGUSTA. <*A.
THURSDAY MORNING November 5, 18«8
This is a Republic where the Will of
the People is the Law of the Land.
|U. S. Grant.
“Watch over the preservation of the. Union
with zealous eye, and indignantly frown upon
the first dawning of every attempt to alienate
any portion of the Country from the rest, or
to enfeeble the tarred ties, which now link
together the various parts."— Warhinoton’s
Farewelt. Address.
lIEPI BI.ICAN PL&TFOIiIH.
The National Republican parly of the Unite*! Stale-,
assembled in National Convention, in the city of Chi
cago, on the 20th day of May, 186 ft, make the following
Declaration of Principles :
Ist. We congratulate the country on the assured suc
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 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, tn the utmost good
faith, to all creditors, at home and abroad, not only
according to the letter, but the spirit of the laws
under which it was contracted.
4th. It is due to the labor nf 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, 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, whenever it can honestly be done.
Gtb. That the best policy to diminish our burden of
debt is to so improve our credit that capitalists will seek
to loan us 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. 'lllO 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 Lincoln, and regret the accession of
Andrew Johnson to the Presidency, who has acted
treacherously to the people who elected him and the
cause he was pledged to support ; has usurped high
legislative and judicial 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 the 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, and
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 born, 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, in this country, and if so arrested
and imprisoned, it is the duty of the Government to
interfere in his behalf.
10th. Os all 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, and imperilled
their lives in the service of the country. The bounties
and pensions provided by law for these brave defenders
of the nation arc obliagtions never to be forgotten. The
widows and orphans of the gallant dead are the wards of
the people, 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.
12tb. This Convention declares its sympathy with all
the oppressed people which are struggling for their
rights.
_LV EVERT ROT IMPROBABLE.
When Congress assembles, on the first
Monday in December, one of the first
questions which will come before that
body will be the relation which Georgia
sustains to the Federal Government.—
Congress is certain to investigate the late
action of the Georgia Legislature in oust
ing a large portion of its members, and
its action in reference to jurors, as well as
the Camilla massacre and other murders
in the State, and the farce of an election
on last Tuesday. We think it not ini.
probable that the National Legislature will
authorize the reassembling of the members
of the. Georgia Convention, and the
amendment of the Constitution in such
manner as to place it out of the power of
Dcmocratfc knaves and fools to miscon
strue the meaning of its provisions. Some
thing must and will he done our friends
may rest assured.
When will the Great Incendiary
Licht his Torch?—ln his Atlanta speech,
Bex Hill said he desired to be the man,
after the election, whose duty it should be to
. kindle the flames which would burn up the
Archives o( the present State Government,
and destroy the last vestige of its existence.
The election is over, and inquisitive people
would like for Ben to inform them when
he proposes to light his torch.
Not True.—The statement of the Local
of the Ku-Klux organ, that Mayor Blodgett
was intoxicated, is entirely untrue. We arc
surprised at tho charge from the person from
whom it seems to come.
, - .♦.
when will Hi: Commence?—ln his At
lanta speech, Boi: Toombs quid that the
Democratic party had appointed Frank
Blair to disperse what he termed the Car
pet-bag Governments of the South. Anxious
Republicans would like to know of Bobuel
when I*hankie will coimueuue his. little
job.
- - --O
Who Are Responsible.—The blood of the
men killed and wounded here on Tuesday
is on the skirts of the Democratic Commit
tees of Augusta and the Democratic editors.
Their unwise counsel provoked the trouble.
• ♦- •
Rather Complicated.—Getting married
is always a very serious proceeding, and in
the case of Felix Samuels, a Detroit lawyer,
it threatened to prove fatal. About two
mouths ago he wedded a Michigan lady,
who was much disliked by certain relatives
of his in New York City. An organized
opposition was set at work to effect a
divorce, but their efforts all proved fruitless.
Enraged at their disappointment, the aunts
and uncles determined upon a different
method of procedure. Samuels was decoyed
to New York, and i-veiy argument plied to
induce him to abandon his wife, rinding
that he still clung to his first love, a
modicum of strychnine wits placed in some
whiskey and given him to drink, lie ac
cepted the draught, became at once in
sensible, and was carried into a field to die.
Fortunately, the proprietor of the ground
witnessed the operation and took prompt
measures to rescue tho sufferer, which
happily proved effectual. Mr. Samuela
regained his faculties just in time to learn
from a New York paper that he had com
mitted suicide, lit* is on the eve of coni'
mencing legal proceedings against his
would-be murderers.
Seymour’s “sea of troubles” is now nn
ilerstood to have been Sult river.
The California Earthquake.—The re
cent earthquakes in San Francisco created
a terrible panic. A corresponds states that
the afreets were filled with men and women,
in their night clothes, running hither and
thither in great alarm. Animals of all kinds
felt the shock ; horses became wild with
terror, and some were thrown down by the
violence of the shock, while others started
and ran away. Dogs were barking and run
ning through tho streets, apparently not
knowing what they were doing. Birds even
noticed the great convulsion of nature. But
few persons would enter buildings, and
these would stampede into the streets with
a rush whenever a slight vibration indicated
that the earth was not yet settled. The
earthquake took precedence over every
thing, business being for the time forgotten,
and all looked as if another night might
come that would swallow the city ; yet
with all this fear the people tried to look
cheerful as they told their experience and
related their hair-breadth escapes. Many
most ludicrous incidents occurred. Persons
in the country noticed nn upheaving and open
ing of the earth in several places. Large
masses of rock, several tons in weight, were
detached and rolled down the hill and moun
tain sides, were violently shaken, and water
made its appearance where all was dry be
fore. From some streams bubbles contain
ing inflammable gas has risen to the sur
face. Although one hundred buildings in
the city have been damageff more or less, a
thorough examination proves that those
buildings which have been properly con
structed will stand much heavier shocks.
Tho Occidental and the Cosmopolitan Hotels,
the Lick House and the RuSB House, the
largest buildings in the city, are uninjured,
except that in some instances the chimneys
were thrown down and the plastering
cracked. The damage west of Montgomery
street is very slight, very few buildings oc
cupying solid ground showing any damage
whatever. The greatest wreck ot buildings
and destruction of property was confined to
the eastern and southern portions of the city,
where the buildings are erected on made
ground.

Washington, October 31, 1868.
Liltle else remains to be done in this cam
paign hut to record the votes for Presiden
tial Electors. The interest at this point is
now all centered in the majority in the sev
eral States for Grant and Colfax. It is not
believed by any one, so far as I know, that
Mr. Seymour has improved his chances by
“swinging around the circle” a la Johnson ;
on the contrary, he has disgusted all intelli
gent Democrats, and lost the respect and
votes of many who, at the beginning of the
campaign, intended to vote for him. Mr.
Seymour’s speeches, as reported by tele
graph, have been humiliating enough ; but
his obsequiousness of manner to the mobs
assembled at different points to listen to his
harangues has been painful to behold. His
taking the stump at all gave the lie to his
alleged disinclination to accept the nomina
tion, and proves him to be the lowest of
modern political demagogues—as well as a
trickster. It is well as it is ; for these politi
cal fossils will now return from active politi
cal life, and will no longer be an incumbrance
to either party. But for them, the Union
Democracy would have given tone and char
acter to tho New York Convention, and
then the contest would have been where it
legitimately belonged—between the loyal
men of the country; and we should have
been spared the painful spectacle of a still
defiant, rebellious class, fighting against
our institutions under the stolen garb of
Democracy.
These fossils have, however, served a good
purpose. They have aroused the country to
the fact that a dangerous political element —
the outgrowtli of treason—still exists in our
midst, and the people will, on Tuesday next,
crush this disaffected element under their
feet. So effectually will it bo done that we
shall have “peace” hereafter.
As to the election, the only point, of
special interest is to know the number of
illegal votes the Democracy will cast. But
for these they would not show a gain in any
Northern District. As it is, all of these
votes cannot be kept out of the ballot boxes,
and if the Republicans lose New York
State it will be through the agency of illegal
votes. ,
Among the eleventh hour Republicans, it
is to be regretted, must be included Secre
tary Sownrd. He who for years has been a
leader of the Party of Progress, and whose
influence, consequently, in the present cam
paign for good would have been potent had
he so designed it, comes out at the last
hour, when too late to do auy good with the
people, or redeem his own character as a
quibbling politician, and says he “believes
it best for the country that Grant should be
elected;” the plain English of which is if
Win. 11. Seward cannot be President, then,
as between Seymour and Grant, he prefers
the latter. Poor old man, thus to fall into
the pit in which.so many truly great men
have preceded him.
The “Ermine in the Ring,” in Putnam's
Magazine, piercing, as it docs, the greatest
and unbealthiest cancerous growth in the
United Stales—the New York King—if it
has no other effect, will lead to the exposure
of leading New York politicians after the
election. It is to be hoped that it will deter
some honest Democrats from voting for the
“Ring” candidates on Tuesday next. The
enormous number of voters registered in
New kork and Brooklyn shows conclusively
the desperation of the Democracy, in that
State. It even two-thirds of the persons
registered vote, it will be a larger poll than
has ever been made before in the two cities.
The latest estimate here of the result on
Tuesday is, electoral votes for Grant, 174;
for Seymour, 21 ; doubtful, 82, of which
latter number 55 are almost certain for
Grant.
The authorities in Baltimore have at last
taken steps to protect through railway pa -
sengers in that city, by placing policemen
on each car. This action is timely, for
arrangements had been perfected by outside
parlies to ensure protection. The recent
outrages there will doubtless break down the
monopoly line between this city and New
York. For many years, this monopoly lias
frustrated all the attempts to establish an
air line from the Capital to New York ; but
the people will not permit another Congress
to disregard their wishes.
Official information received here shows
the insurrection—or whatever it may bo
called -of the colored people in Cuba, is
more formidable than the brief cablegrams
heretofore received have indicated. There
are only about half a million blacks on the
island, and about half of this number are
slaves. The halting process of gradual
emancipation suggested by the Spanish
Junta seems to have been the impelling
enutte for the outbreak. The disaffected
are in I «vor ol immediate emancipation,
which course an influential body of whites
approve. They have iiclti the effect of im
mediate emancipation in the United States;
that the colored people, as a class, have
behaved themselves quite as well as their
more favored pale-faced brethren, and have,
therefore, resolved to go to the root of the
evil nt once. It is thus that the good
conduct of the lately emancipated slaves in
this country are exerting a potent influence
in other countries—even in Cuba, where
slavery is stripped of some of its worse
features. There can be no pence in the
“ Gem of the Antilles,” is the opinion of
ninny Spanish gentlemen now resident in
this country, and the Junta will undoubt
edly, at no distant day, yield to the
demands of the “ progressives.”
