AUGUSTA. «A.
WE I)N BSD AY MORN I NG.. Nov. 11, 1868
This is a Republic where the Will of

| U. S. Grant.
“ Watch over thepreseroatiou 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 sacred ties, which now link
together the various parts."— Washihuton’s
Farewell Address.
Andy Johnson—His Political Future-
It is fair to presume that Andrew
Johnson at last realizes the fact that
he will cease to be President of the
United States after the 3d oi March
next. On the day that he ceases to be
President, William G. Bkowxlw
ceases to be Governor of Tennessee.
On the 4th of March, the latter enters
‘ the United States Senate as the suc
cessor of Judge Patterson, John
son’s son-in-law. The return of John
son to Tennessee, and the retiraey of
Brownloxv from the Executive chair,
will be events of great importance to
the people of that State, in a political
point of view. If we mistake not,
under the provisions of the State Con
stitution, Brownlow's unexpired term
. will be filled by Hon. D. C. Senter,
Speaker of the State Senale. He is a
' man of ability and of liberal views,
and is more than likely will favor a
modification of the Broxvnloxv pro
gramme of governing.
The people of the State will elect a
Governor and members of the Legis
lature in August, 1869. So it will be
seen that Johnson returns to the State
just in time to take an active part in
the campaign. Most of our ex-l’resi
dents have deemed it undignified to
engage personally in political contests;
but Andrew Johnson will not stand
on his dignity when that dignity inter
feres with any ambitious scheme he
may cherish. Besides, he is compara
tively young yet, and his mind and
body are in a state of vigorous preser
vation. And although his administra
tion as President has been a failure,
still it cannot be denied that he is a
man of extraordinary power. I’he
United States was too big for him, but
he may be able to manipulate and con
trol affairs in Tennessee. It is gen
erally conceded outside of the State
that the franchise law, now of force
there, are unnecessarily harsh and
sweeping in their character. That
Government can scarcely' be called Re
publican wherein eighty thousand tax
payers are denied the privileges of
the ballot. Whether that state of
affairs shall continue or not will be the
question in the Gubernatorial and legis
lative canvass next year. It will pro
bably take the form of Convention or
no Convention.
Johnson will advocate the calling of
a Convention and will stand a good
chance of carrying the day. If he
does, and a Legislature is elected favor
ing a Convention, he will probably be
elect ed to till the shoes of Mr. Fowi.hr,
whose Senatorial term expires on
March 4th, 1871, or it may be to take
his old seat as the successor of Senator
Browneow, whom nobody supposes
will near live out the term for which
he has been elected. That Johnson
will make a bitter fight for the Senate
we have no manner of doubt, and when
we remember his great power over the
. people of Tennessee when he meets
them face to face, and the absolute ne
cessity for a relaxation of the high
handed style in which the State has
been governed since 1865, we must
confess that his chances of success are
not bad.
Swallowed.—Our dispatches an
nounced that the Louisville Courier
has swallowed the once popular and
powerful Louisville Journal, which
for more than a quarter of a century
has boasted the services of George
T. Prentice, one of the most brilliant
journalists this country ever produced.
With Mr. Prentice’s age and im
potency comes the death of his organ, or
what is the same thing, its amalgama.
tion with an old political competitor.
Did not try to Restore Peace.
—Andrew Johnson did not try to
restore peace to the South. He sim
ply joined one party in an effort to
destroy the other which had elevated
him to power. Instead us making
peace, he aroused the bitterest pas
sions of the human heart. General
Grant will not be guilty of such crim
inal folly. He will stick to the party
that elected him, and xvill deal gener
ously with the one he has defeated
—if they will let him.
■' -■' —— ■
The Truth.—“ Willoughby,” the
New York correspondent of the Con
stitutionalist, denies that the late
Republican success was due to the
personal popularity of General Grant.
He frankly confesses that the people
of the North were unwilling, at this
juncture, to change the management of
public affairs. This shows that the
Northern people are firmly deter
mined Io carry on tin* Congressional
plan of reconstruction.
A Harsh Criticism.
We submit to the Constitutionalist
whether it has not judged harshly and
condemned hastily, the Pittsburg
speech of Mr. Colfax, Vice-President
elect. We are aware that his refer
ence to rebels and traitors grated un
musically in Confederate ears, but
when we strip the speech of that por
tion of its features, what is there really
in the speech that the Constitution
alist is not willing to concede? He
only demands protection for the white
Unionist and lhe colored population
of the South. Is not the Constitu
tionalist willing to grant this ? If so,
why abuse Mr. Colfax for what he
may have said in a little serenading
speech ?
- . ♦
Bai> Spirit.—While the Chronicle
<£• Sentinel warmly endorses the pro
position that a fund be raised and
judiciously invested lor the benefit of
the widow and orphans of the late
Albert G. Ruffin, the Constitution
alist, very narrow-mindedly, Ings in
the politics of the late Mr. Ruffin.
What lias the widow and the orphans
to do with Republicanism or Democ
racy? Will not the pinchings of hun
ger of her and her little ones be just as
sharp as if he had been a Democrat?
Will the chilling winds of winter be
less cold to them because the late hus
band and father was a Republican?
It is not the dead that needs charity,
but the living. Surely the Constitu
tionalist on reflection will see that its
article of yesterday was inconsiderate,
and its objections captious, and will
hereafter give its influence to this
truly Christian enterprise. If not, we
hope and believe that the people of
Augusta will prove themselves more
liberal than some of its editors, and
that an adequate sum will be raised
and advantageously invested.

Opinion of a Democrat.
General Hillver, who was one of
the most ardent supporters of Sey
mour and Blair, made a speech be
fore a Democratic Club in New York
on the eve of the election, in which he
said:
The most painful duty of niy life is that 1
am compelled to oppose General Grant in
Ulis canvass. He is my personal friend. I
was intimate with him before the war. 1
shared the perils of the battle-field and the
precious intercourse of camp life* with him
during the war. I have retained his confi
dence and affection since the war. I long
Cherished the hope that, he would be the
standard-bearer of the Democratic party in
this contest. 1 repeat to you to-night what 1
have said in forty odd speeches made by me
in this campaign, that General Grant is a
gentleman of unsullied honor—a just man, a
man of correct habits, a man of intellect, a
humane man, a man of unselfish patriotism.
The irresistible logic of success has proven
his military genius to be above the reach of
calumny or captious criticism. Whether you
approve or disapprove of my opinions,' no
partisan feeling, no desire for party success,
will ever deter me from defending his per
sonal and military reputation whenever,
wherever, and by whosoever assailed. 1
think that man is neither a gentleman, a
Christian, or true Democrat who xvill permit
his political opinions to interfere with his
private friendships. While I oppose, and
shall continue to attack with all the powers
God has given me, the political platform of
the party General Grant represents, I shall
never forget that in all profitable discussions
of great principles it is essential to separate
the advocate from his cause.

The Election and the South.
The election of Grant and Colfax by
overwhelming majorities means that
law, order and peace shall prevail
throughout the South, and that the
work of reconstruction shall be carried
forward to completion by the party
that suppressed the rebellion and re
pudiated the “policy” of Andrew John
son.
It xvill be interesting, therefore, to
observe the course of the Southern
people ; to notice the spirit in which
they will accept the decision. Will
they submit to that which is inevita
ble, or will they attempt to continue
the reign of terror which has covered
the South with shame, crippled the
energies of the people, and kept away
enterprise and capital ?
General Grant, since his nomination
for the Presidency, has said but little
in regard to his policy, but that little
embodies a great deal—all, in fact,
that immediately concerns the South.
In the first place he xvill regard it as
his duty, as President, to enforce the
laws, lie will not set up a policy of
his oxvn, as against that of Congress.
He has also emphatically declared that
it xvill be his duty to see that citizens
are protected in their rights every
xvhere, at home and abroad. Every
citizen has a right to buy lands, engage
in business ami seek to make a living,
in any place, and in any lawful calling
that he may choose; towrite, print or
speak his sentiments; to connect him
self with whatever political party he
may prefer, and to deposit his ballot
xvithout hindrance or intimidation.—
These are the rights of every Ameri
can citizen, and ti e government, to be
respected or just, must see that these
rights are everyxvhere respected. The
Southern people have defied the laws
which are intended to protect individ
uals in their rights, and to this end es
tablished a reign of terror, and have
undertaken to say who shall live among
them, xvho shall till the lands, who
shall engage in business, who shall
vote and who shall take part in the
government. This has not been done
according to law, of course, but it has
been done in defiance of law. To be
respectable at the South, to be permit
ted to live there even, a man must
have been a rebel. To vote without
risking his life, he must vote the Dem
ocratic ticket.
The government that would tolerate
such a state of things would not lie a
government of the people, but a des
potism. It would crush out liberty
and destroy individual rights. It
would, in fact, be no government at
all. It would be organized anarchy,
if anarchy can be said to have an
organization. Under it there would
be protection for neither fife nor prop
erty, and consequently there could lie
no prosperity. Capital will not seek
investment where the arm of law is
not strong to protect it.
I nder Grant’s administralion, then,
we may be sure that the reign of ter
ror will be brought to an end, and
that th<‘ arm of law will l>e made suf
ficiently strong Io protect every man,
whether white or black, in his rights,
lloxy this is to be done must depend
upon circumstances. It will depend
upon the conduct of the Southern peo
ple. If they quietly submit to the
law, that will be the end of it. If they
resist, force w ill be used wherever
force will be necessary ; but the laws
will be enforced, and every citizen
will be protected in his rights at the
South as he is at the North.
This is called radicalism, but it is
that kind of radicalism which is right
eousness. It is the radicalism which
governs the Northern States. This
country is open to men who served in
the rebel army. Thousands of these
have settled in the Northern States
since the close of the war. They are
protected by the same laxvs that pro
tect other citizens. They are as safe
in their lives and property as anybody
else. The most prominent rebel
might travel through and settle in any
part of the North, and he would not
be ipolested. His right to pursue any
lawful calling would be fully and uni
versally recognized, and in person and
property he would be safe.
In demanding, therefore, that the
South shall be free to citizens of Ohio
or Indiana, or any other State, who
may choose to travel or settle there,
we only ask obedience to the laws
which we render ourselves, aiid which
is required of all our people.
Let it be borne in mind that the
South is part of the United States as
the North is part of the United States.
One flag waves over all, and through
out the laws of the United States are
supreme. These laws promise protec
tion to citizens, and it is the duty of
the government to see that this promise
is not broken.
The enfranchisement of the colored
people was rendered necessary by the
conduct of the Southern people. But
for Johnson’s interference, by which
the first Congressional plan of recon
struction was rejected, the ballot would
not have been given to the negro. This
would have been unjust to the loyal
blacks, but the wrong would have been
committed, nevertheless, had not the
Southern people rejected the mild terms
proposed by Congress.
Noxv, however, negro suffrage is not
an open question. It is settled. This
may be extended—it will be extended,
but it can never be restricted.
There can be no step backward. The
South undertook to destroy the govern
ment in order that they might buildup
a Confederacy based on human slavery.
The rebellion was a failure; slavery
was destroyed and the late slaves are
now free men, invested with all the
rights of citizens. The Southern peo
ple may not like this. It was not to
be expected that they w ould take to it
kindly; but they brought it upon
themselves, first by rebelling against
the government, and second, by bad
conduct after the rebellion. It is noxv
fixed. It can not be changed, and
the sooner the situation is accepted the
batter.
Whether Congress will legislate any
further on the subject of reconstruc
tion, xvill depend upon the future con
duct of the Southern people. If the
latter persist in resisting; if their ugli
ness is maintained, Congress will pass
laws, and Grant will execute them, to
meet whatever difficulties may arise.
[From the New York Tribune.
The Struggle in England.
On the Uth of the present month
the moribund British Parliament xvill
be formally dissolved, and a few days
after, the first general election under
the new Reform bill will take place.
As the period for the new election
approaches, political excitement be
comes every day more intense in all
parts of the United Kingdom. The
columns of the British journals, both
metropolitan and provisional, are filled
xvith reports d? speeches by candidates
for the new Parliament, and a
portion of the space appropriated in
those journals to editorial dissertation
is absorbed in the discussion of the
great questions to be decided by the
election. Evidently it is felt among
intelligent and thoughtful men that a
great crisis in the nation’s history is
impending, and the two great parties
are putting forth their best strength
to insure victory. Our owm civil con
flict in this country has engaged the
thoughts and energies of the American
people to such an extent that they
have been unable to bestoxv upon the
battle which is going on across the
waters that degree of attention which
its great importance demands. Still,
they have not been indifferent specta
tors of the fight; and now that free
dom’s battle has been splendidly won
on this continent, and that the smoke
has lifted from this part of the field,
we naturally turn our eyes toward
the point where the opposing forces
that have just measured their strength
here are about to engage in another
tremendous struggle. For, after all,
although in circumstantials the respec
tive contests in the two countries—
that which we have just fought out,
and that yet undecided in England—
present some marked points of differ
ence, yet the great principles involved
are in both cases identically the same.
In both the fight is for the civil and
political equality against caste; for a
common citizenship, insuring common
rights as an inalienable inheritance
and possession, against class, privi
leges, and arbitrary exclusions; for
the government of the people, by the
people, and for the people, against the
assumptions of an ignorant and selfish
oligarchy.
The issues upon which the Liberals
make their appeal to the country in
this election are three in number. One
is financial, the Gladstone party con
tending that the present Tory admin
istration has been guilty of a lavish
and reckless expenditure of public
money, aiul that the traditional policy
of the Tories is one of criminal extrav
agance in the disbursing of the people’s
means. This is an important consid
eration, which cannot fail, we should
think, to have due weight with the
electors. Another issue relates to the
necessity lor further Electoral Reform,
the latest Reform act being clogged
with conditions which practically |
neutralize in a great measure the lib
eral provisions of that measure. With
its rate-paying clauses and its erection
of “three-cornered” constituencies,
Disraeli’s Reform Bill, say the Liberals
is little better than “a delusion and
a snare,” and they accordingly pledge
themselves,- if restored to power, to
give the people household suflrage in
its integrity. This is a matter of vital
moment to the complete success of the
popular cause in England, and Glad
stone and his Parliamentary followers
arc certain of meeting with warm and
general support among the masses on
this point. But the most important
issue of all as regards the effect which
the settlement of the question is likely
to have upon the national fortunes, both
immediately and in the near future, is
that which has been raised relating to
the disestablishment and disendow
ment of the Irish Church. This
question has a twofold importance;
first, as to its bearing upon the difficult
task, in which generations of English
statesmen have failed, of pacifying and
conciliating Ireland; and, secondly,
as to the probable effects of its agita
tion upon the cognate question of
religious equality between the law,
and, consequently, iqam the fate of
the Anglican establishment itself.—
From the desperation with which the
Dories arc conducting the canvass;
from the efiorts which have been un
scrupulously put forth by D’lsraeli
and his State Church frauds, both of
the clergy and the laity, to inflame the
religious prejudices of the people, and
rekindle the fierce fires of bigotry in
both kingdoms; from the alarm which,
according to their own confession, has
been created in the ranks of these
men as to the probable late of the
English Establishment in the event of
the Irish branch of that Church being
severed from the State, it is evident
that they feel that the time is not
distant which shall witness the
triumph of the principle of religious
equality in England.
The fight goes bravely on. Disraeli
shows himself to be possessed of pluck;
he is fertile in resources and expe
dients, and his followers are not want
ing in zeal and bravery. But Glad
stone has thrown himself into the
thick of the conflict., w ith enthusiastic
ardor, and his supporters arc rallying
nobly around the standard which he
has raised ; while the grand figure of
that world-renowed champion of
Freedom, John Bright, stands out in
bold relief among the Liberal leaders,
and his voice is heard in clarion notes
urging on the fight. To our own
triumph here we hope to add, in a few
days, the joy of hearing of the great
victory for the right in the country of
our fathers.
—Many arc the good things reported
to have been said of the late Lord
Alvanley. Crockford, on retiring
from the management of the club in
St. James street, London, where gam
bling was carried openly for many
years, and large sums lost nightly,
gave a farewell dinner to his patrons,
at which he took the opportunity of
expatiating on'the good use he had
made of the wealth which he had ac
cumulated at their expense. He told
them he had considered it as a trust.
“Often had he fed the hungry” (his
suppers, free to all the habitues, were
unexceptionable); “ many were the
naked whom he had clothed;” then he
paused for an instant, and Lord A han
ley finished the sentence for him, “and
the rich he sent empty away.”
—The Bulletin claims that San
Francisco has now a population of
153,000. But. the earthquakes will
cause a hegira.
