Farbwki.u Address.
A Specimen of Democratic Fairness.
The Savannah News speaks of the
scalawag paper at Augusta, Bui.lock’s
especial organ. We suppose it means
the National Hkpubi.ican, though
its editor has not the professional cour
tesy to designate our paper by its right
name. As a specimen of its want of
fairness, it is only necessaiy to state
that it quotes a recent article of ours
expressing the opinion that Congress
would take into consideration Geor.
gia affairs, but without making any
recommendation as to what Con
gress ought to do. This the News
falsely styles a demand, ami then pro
ceeds to unjustly abuse Governor
Bullock. We have expressed no
opinion as to what should be the action
of Congress in December, and have
' not deemed it necessary to do so. We
had hoped that the wise and more
conservative clement would now come
forward, and, by influencing the
Democracy to heartily acquiesce in
the questions which were irrevocably
settled by the American people on
Tuesday last, and thus render unneces
sary any material Congressional inter
ference. When there is a necessity
[ for interference to protect its policy,
i which has just been endorsed at the
polls by the people, this much it is
, certain to do, and neither we nor the
Savmmah News can prevent i|. We
regret to see a disposition on the part
of the News to misrepresent our lan
, gunge and misconstrue our motives.
The Atlanta Intelligencer
The al>ovc named paper seems dis
posed to do us justice. We have
stated in another place that we have
expressed no plan for the settlement
of the affairs of Georgia by Congress.
, We have only stated what the Intelii
; genceT knows as well as we do—that
it is not impossible that Congress will
I 1
legislate on the subject. Our policy is
for the Democrats to pnnnptly accept
the situation, frown down all sjiirit of
. proscription, and thus let Democrats
and Republicans work harmoniously
together. We have eunfidently rvlic.l
' on Ihe cooperation of the Int<:lU',i< ncer
’ in this patriotic object.
We have not time to pursue the
I , . . *
i subject this morning, but sliall resume
it to-morrow.
•♦ ♦♦ ■■
In a Passion.
The Atlanta CunsCiliilioti sees fit to
, indulge in the following language in re
ply to an article which appeared in
, this paper a few days ago :
i Wf rare nothing for his wishes or ht-> pre
i dictions as to the National Legislature ; but
, one tiling is dead sure—the time has come
when such creatures must lie more cautious
and more respectful in the language they use
towards our people; there is a point at which
forliearance ceases to lie a virtue, and by the
? gods, that point has boon reached, and men
1 will no longer sulmiit to their taunts and in
> suits. We make no threats, and “intimida-
I firm*’ls not the weapon wc propose to use;
I bill we intend to preserve our sclf-re«i>ect
. and our itersonal rights; and we iicsitate not
1 to re-amiomicc as a cardinal principle, that the
freedom of speech aud of press, carries witli
it the freedom of the cudgel.
i If the spirit of hostility to the fle-
- publicans of Georgia, manifested in the
’ above paragraph, continues to lie
entertauicd by the great muss, then
may we indeed look for pu interference
’ on the part of the Government. The
t campaign was conducted on this dis
t tinct issue, and the t erdict is most
- emphatic, that throughout the South,
that every man of whatever party,
should have ample protection in the
3 enjoyment of political principles, and
J the exercise of his |M>litical principles,
I with no one to molest or make him
afraid. When the editor wrote his
brutal reference to endgels, and made
. his impotent threats against his politi
’ cal opi>onentß,he Was doubtless laboring
1 under the impression that Seymour
and Blair had been elected President
and Vice-President. We advise him
to wake up to a realization that his
fond dream is all a dream. When
the above extract from his paper
reaches the North, and is reproduced
Di ere as an evidence of the continued
lawless spirit of the Democracy, we
shall then hear the Democrats brand
ing the extract as a Radical forgery.
As to the implied threat to this paper,
we have only to state that, as hereto
fore, the Rbpuuj.iuax will continue Io
be published every morning during
the week, except Mondays, and that
it* eohunu* will contain the latest com
mercial and political news, by mail
anil otherwise, and that its editorials
w ill criticise, fearlessly, the course of
such men as conduct themselves in a
manner injiMions to the welfare of the
State and Union. We shall also jmb
lish a Weekly, every Saturday, at the
low price of $2 per annum, in advance.
And ail this without the fear of any
i»otjy’>s Cudgel.
General Grant.
Tlie New York Times hojies that
with the election of Gen. Gbant we
shall enter upon a new era iu politics,
and that the passions of the war,
which have of late been revived witli
f<uch unfortunate results to Ihe Demo
cratic party, will once more be laid
to sleep and forever. Certainly no
Southerner who has five wits can sup
pose that the m.iu who accorded such
wise and magnanimous terms to Lee
at Appomattox, will now be led into
any extravagant or migenerous action
towards those whom he then treat
ed with such forbearance. He is
to he ft listed now, as he was trusted
then, and the Southern people will do
well to visit w ith their displeasure the
wild and furious advocates of the Lost
Cause, who, by proclaiming the con
trary, have again led them into defeat
and disappointment. No good can
come of following any further their
preposterous counsels. What the
South needs is not reviling and pas
sion, but respect for the authority of
the Government, submission to the
law, industry, and practical common
sense. The worst enemies of the
South to day are such misguided men
as expend their strength in useless im
precations upon the Northern Radicals,
like the following, whigh we copy from
a Southern journal:
•Eternal tortures rack their bones,
Cramps gnarl their writhing joints,
Mountains crush their hearts of stone,
Their feet tread needles’ points.
Lightnings blast their demon vision,
Jarring thunders rend their brain;
Mocking fiends, in fell derision,
Chant their acts in choral strain.
'■'This the rebel patriot's prayer,
The soldier of the past;
That man who lives to do ' id dare.
Defiant to the last.”
This sort of folly and fustian had
now better be laid aside, and we do
not doubt that the mass of .Southern
men will agree with us iu this opinion.
The soldier of the past can best serve,
his country and his pcojile by becom
ing the efficient laborer of the present;
and the best prayer for the rebel pat
riot, as for all of us, is honest work
and fidelity to our duties.
-.
Foolish’ Uai.culations. -borne of
the Democrats foolishly imagine that
the first step that will be taken by
Gen. Grant, after his inauguration,
will be to raise a rumpus in his own
party. What sort of peace would be that
that gladdened the Democrats, and
maddened the Republiciuis ? Tliat is
Andrew Johnson’s idea of pacifica
tion; but it is not Gen. Gba.nt’s, as it
was not Mr. Lincoln's.
The Right Spirit.—The Macon
Telegraph contains the following :
Wc s;q , then, let. us wait until it Is proved
that General Grant docs not mean fairly bv
the Southern whiles, before wc denounce his
Administnition. Some of the Georgia Radi
cal papers say we arc to have an era of pence
and good will, aud it is time it should come.
It may be that we .shall have a revival of the
good old days of Monroe, and cry, “Wc arc
all Fcderafists—we »uo all Republicans 1”
Who knows 't Let ns pray for it.
We shake hands with our cotempo
rary on that. Wo c/m have a revival
of good feeling, if all hands will only
try. But the work must commence
right here at homo, among our own
people. The country is panting for
peace. AU parties desire it. We all
belong to the same country. We must
all obey the same laws. When we
cannot agree, let’s “agree to disa
gree,” and cease all uncharitable de
nunciation and uncivilized proscription
of those who may not lie able to reach
the same conclusions and support the
saine party with ourselves.

Worthy or Imitation.—On the
night of the 4th inst., the Republicans
had a torch-light procession at New
Haven, Connecticut, in honor of their
great victory. A telegram stales that
the Democrats, in an organized body,
joined the procession, bearing a banner
with the inscription: “Let us be
friends.” I’liis conduct was noble and
patriotic, and is well worthy of muta
tion. Why cannot the Democracy of
Georgia follow the example of their
Northern allies ? We have hopes that
the more sensible and reasonable will
do so. Fi iendship at home between
Republicans and Democrats is the
nigh-cut to peace.

Silent Men.—Washington never
made a speech. In the zenith of his
fame he once attempted it, failed, and
gave it up confused and abashed. In
inching the Constitution of the United
States, the labor was wholly perform
ed in committee oi the whole,of which
George Washington w as day after day,
the chairman, but lie made but two
speeches during the convention, of a
ven few words each. The conven
tion, however, acknowledged the mas
ter spirit, and historians affirm that had
it not been for his personal popularity
and the thirty words of his first speech,
pronouncing 5t the best that could be
united upon, the Constitution would
have been Rejected by the people.
Thomas Jeffui'son never made a speech.
He couldn’t 3o it.
Married Without Gloves.—A
few days since a young gentleman and
young lady appeared at the parsonage
of an eminciit clergyman of this city,
for the purpose of having their respec
tive destinies united in the holy bonds
of matrimony. Everything being
ready, the clergyman aforesaid was
about to proceed with the ceremony,
when the young lady discovered that
she was minus the kid gloves so neces
sary on such occasions; whereupon
she requested her affianced to hasten
to a store and procure the indispensa
ble kids, telling him to be “in a burry
or she might change her mind.”
The clergyman, witnesses and in
tended bride w aited some time for the
return of the youth with the gloves;
he didn’t come. They waited longer,
awl -trH bewailed to put in Ills appear
ance. The matter at last becoming
really serious and alarming, the clergy
man took his hat and proceeded, post
haste, in search of the truant lover,
whom he found, after a diligent search
and many in<piiries, quietly seated on
the veranda of the Park House, with
his feet elevated on the back of a chair
and very deliberatUy puffing a cigar.
On being asked to explain his singular
conduct, he carelessly remarked that
he “was waiting to see if she was go
ing to change her mind.” They w ere
married however, at last, after two
hours delay.— Ottawa {111.) Hepubli
