“ Watch over the preservation of the Union

any portion of the Country from the rest, or
to enfeeble the sacred ties, which now link

Farewell Address.
What a Georgia Statesman Says
We have received the following
earnest letter from one of the ablest and
purest of Georgia’s many distinguished
sons —one whose love of the Union and
opposition to the Confederacy was
well known during the war. This
gentleman is thoroughly familiar with
the spirit of the Democratic party,
and his statements are strictly true.
His character is a guarantee of that.
Although our distinguished corres
pondent somewhat abrupt in his
criticism of ourself, still we have no
doubt he heartily commends the man
ner in which the paper is conducted.
Indeed, we havchad repeated evidences
of the fact.
We earnestly commend his letter to
our readers, North and South, as a
graphic and truthful statement of the
real condition of affairs in Georgia.
Here it is:
Mil Editor : You arc green, as is manifest
by your attempt to conciliate the Ku-Klux;
for you ought to have known by this time
there is no conciliating the devilish spirit of
their Klan. When the United States spared
them their lives and property, so justly
forfeited according to all law, human anil
divine, they would have been conciliated if
it had been possible; for it was impossible,
and is now impossible to do more.
They were as gentle as sucking doves
while their lives and property were in
danger, but the moment it was removed,
instead of gratitude for the mercy, the cow
ardly ingrates and bullies became more
defiant and proscriptive than ever, until they
have become more intolerant than any
political party in the history of the world.
They compelled the United States to free the
negro, and then to give him the ballot, and
will now compel it to arm him, or inflict
some other terrible punishment. Something
of this sort will have to be done, or you and
I can’t live in this country; and no Govern
ment deserves the name that is limbic or
unwilling to protect its loyal friends.
If anything else could be done, compati
ble with the rights and safety of men of our
politics, I would have it done, if it should
spare every masked assassin in the South;
but it is useless to try longer. I fear, and
there is no other chance than to light the
devil with lire. They have made this a land
of blood and suffering ns long as it can be
tolerated. It was but yesterday that a good
man "barely escaped a" mob because he had
accepted a small office from the United
States; another was most disgracefully beaten
because he was a Republican; another had
tlie mane and tail of his horse shaved; an
other was refused accommodation at a com
mon inn on account of his politics; another
taken out at night, whipped and crippled tor
life, and made to promise he would vote the
Democratic ticket, and hundreds have been
murdered, and all white Republicans would
have been assassinated or banished from the
State if Seymour had been elected.
I can but believe the United States will
find some Way to protect, if not <ivcngc, the
wrongs of its faithful and suffering citizens.
Yea, let it be a consolidated Government,
or anything, than the consolidated hell of
the last ten years, and, to us, a mere mockery
of a Government. The earth is rank with
innocent blood, which, smelling to Heaven,
brought on this poor country the curse of
war, without its legitimate fruits to the van
quished. When those fruits are borne, wc
will have peace, and, 1 fear, not before. The
leaders would have war, and now they will
provoke its fruits. Why, sir, the savagery
now perpetrated by the Ku-Klux would
justify revolution, if not arrested otherwise.
So don’t be whining conciliation, while they
are riding, veiled, over the country, murder
ing whom they please.
If we do not get protection from Grant,
his election will be of tittle consequence to
us.
What cowardice—for all such bully assas
sins are cowards—may do, I cannot say, but
1 think, in their imbecility to be avenged on
the Northern voter, in their usual blindness,
they will strike at those in reach, for they
have no emotions of justice or magnanimity.
So, Mr. Editor, you arc premature in speak
ing of conciliation, for there can be no con
ciliation and no peace while the worst men
in the country can scourge and murder whom
they please. There should lie none.
A Sufferer.
Capital vs. Labor.—The Democ
racy have combined with capital in
this city to make a systematic war on
labor at the Mayor’s election. As
strong and arbitrary measures are to
be taken to compel the white working
men to vote the Democratic ticket as
if they were black men. The theory
of these bloated aristocrats is, that
they not only own their own votes,
but the votes of the working man,too.
M ill treemen permit this impudent
interference with their most sacred
rights ?
-♦♦♦■
Not Responsible —In conversa
tion with an old Democrat, yesterday,
he disclaimed any responsibility for
the violence of his party. But he is
responsible, inasmuch as he has never
publicly denounced any of these out
rages. There is no dodging this re
sponsibility. The blood of the hun
dreds of Republican martyrs in Georgia
is on the skirts of these same old
Democratic leaders, because they have
made no efforts to prevent them.
Hon. A. H Stephens.
The Augusta National Republican ex
horts Mr. A. 11. Stephens to speak to the
people of Georgia now, on the ground that
“ a word from him on the blessings of
moderation will be heeded." That would be
a very good Thing to do, for Mr. Stephens is
a gifted speaker; but wc hardly consider it
to be necessary now. The people there will
now fall in love with “ moderation” ot their
own accord. The “ word" from Mr. Ste
phens, would, at this lute day, be somewhat
stale. Some weeks ago it would have been
quite interesting; for it is words fitly spoken
that are “ like apples of gold in pictures of
silver."— New York Times.
With all due deference for our
Metropolitan cotemporary, wc mod
estly submit that we are better able
to judge of the influence which an
address to the people of Georgia by
Mr. Stephens would wield among its
citizens than is that paper. Before
the election wc hoped that the Demo
cratic clement would act as the
Times now believes they will. But
wc were sadly disappointed, as will
be the Times. The people here will
not fall in love with moderation of
their own accord. We believe Gen.
Grant will make peace, but it will be
by the vigor of bis acts, rather than
a mere appeal—such as, “ Let us have
peace.” The only thing in the world
that the Southern Democracy fears is
power. Wc repeat that an address
from Mr. Stephens is desirable, and,
if delivered in the right spirit, would
be incalculably beneficial. Does not
the Times rely too implicitly on its
rebel correspondent, “ Quondam,’ for
information in relation to Georgia
affairs?
What an Industrious Freedman May
Do.—The Milledgeville Federal Union says
that a freedman recently traded one hundred
and fifty dollars cash at one of our grocery
and provision houses. He says he will make
over one thousand two hundred dollars clear
profit on his crop, which has been cultivated
by his own family this year. What do
darkies who stand around on street corners
and talk politics think of that'! Better than
depending on Radicals for forty acres and a
mule —ch ?— Constitutionalist.
The Constitutionalist could not
close what would have otherwise been
an excellent paragraph without deliber
eratelyand wilfully slandering the Re
publican party. That paper knows that
the Republican party have never prom
ised the colored people “forty acres and
a mule.” That party claims that it gave
them freedom, and will give them pro
tection, and that by hard work, econ
omy and honesty they can accumulate
sufficient to purchase homesteads.
And the success of the freedman men
tioned by the Federal Union demon
strates the truthfulness of the claim.
It reminds us, too, of the difference
between slavery and freedom. In the
days of slavery all the profits of this
man’s labor would have gone into an
other man’s pocket; uow the person
that does the work receives the pay.
The present year is rapidly drawing
to a close, and thousands must need
look out for 1869. Wc hope and
earnestly advise colored people who
are out of employment to seek it on
farms, and, if it is possible, to “go it
on their own hook.” Strict economy,
hard work, and a smiling Providence
will crown their efforts with success.
This advice applies with equal force
to hundreds of white persons in Au
gusta. They have no money, will not
work, loiter around whiskey mills, eat
free lunch, curse negroes, and praise
Democracy, from the end of one month
to another. This is the class that is
making the strongest effort for a
change in our municipal government.
Every mother’s son of them should be
hoeing cotton.
•
A Test.—- The Democracy of this
city claim to be peacefully disposed,
and to favor fair election. The sin
cerity of their professions will be
tested on the 2d of December. They
will have an opportunity then of show
ing to General Grant and Congress
and the country whether intimidation
and force is to be the Democratic
mode of holding elections in Georgia.
If the Democrats can carry this city
it is all well; if not, they will scarcely
be permitted to reap the unholy fruits
of a victory won by fraud. Only free
ballots count.
A Fact.—if General Grant had
resigned his commission in the army
at the close of the war, and had set
tled in Georgia, and General Sherman
had been the Chicago nominee for the
Presidency, and General Grant had
seen fit to have declared publicly that
the proceedings of that Convention
were characterized by wisdom, mode
ration and patriotism, the Georgia
Democracy would have combined to
break down his business, and ostra
cised him socially and denounced him
as the vilest of the vile carpet baggers.
Such is the spirit of the Democracy
of Georgia.
• •
Mistake. The Rome Courier
makes a mistake when it says that the
late A. G. Ruffin was the “carpet
bag Sheriff of Richmond county.” Mr.
R. was in no sense a carpet-bagger.
As some of the old people would say,
“He has been in Georgia ever since
the woods were burnt.’’ He was a
native Georgian.
Hard Job.—ln these times, very
few succeed who attempt to ride two
horses at the same time-
—ltceply fringed vails be
coming fashionable.
A Difficult Task-—Those who
attempt to support the Republican
party in such a quiet and secret man
lier as to maintain a continued inti
macy with Democracy, will find the
task a difficult one. “ Let your light
shine” would be a far more patriotic
and honorable motto.
Communications. J
Stand Firm.
Mil. Editor —The rancid Democracy
hereabouts are remarkably tacticions—-
good in theory, but awful poor in j
practice. Under the leadership ot a
designing demagogue, they have adop
ted various expedients, by means of .
which to edge in and abridge that ;
dear bought American right—freedom
of opinion—by lying, by misrepresen- :
tation, by terrorism, by social and
religious proscription, by domineering,
impudence and impertinence,have they
ineffectually attempted to curtail the
exercise of that inalienable right; and
having failed in all these, they are
now trying to make honest men feel
badly by means of a studied effort at
non-recognition on the streets. M bat
miserable, deluded scape-graces and
legitimate objects of the great fooL
killer these poor fellows are. Hardly
noticed except when they push them
selves in the fore-ground, these mar
plots impudently essay to frown down
their superiors. No one, of course,
has been, or will bo, in the least de
gree troubled by their amusing gyra
tions. I thought, however, that the
knowledge of dial fact might rob the
pimps of that meagre share of the very
meagre portion of consolation left
them by the triumph of the peace
party of this unhappy, but speedily-to
be-revived country.
Republicans, stand firm. What have
you done of which to be ashamed ?
Ave, yon have done everything of
which’to be proud. In peril of life
and property, you gallantly, and fear
lessly, and openly, deposited your bal
lots for Grant and Colfax, for peace
and prosperity. You are members of
that party whose plans will give to
this Republic a saving panacea for all
her ills—ills brought upon her by
treacherous, rancid blowhards.
firm and keep a stiff’ upper
lip, and as, after voting for Grant, on
the 3d of November, you felt better
and slept more soundly, so, too, after
manfully supporting the peace ticket
at the municipal election, next month,
you will be happier and more pros*
porous.
Let Democrats frown and old friends
forsake; what matters it? Do your
whole duty, according to conscience,
and their frowns will be turned into
smiles, and old friends, ashamed of
their folly, will gather about you and
stick closer than brothers. Stand firm,
and work—work, and stand firm !

From Harper’s Weekly, Nov. 31.
The Will of the People.
The triumphant election of General
Grant is not only the ratification, but
it is a final interpretation of the war.
From the moment that General Lee
surrendered to General Grant in the
field there has been a loud debate as
to the real significance of the war, and
what was actually settled by it. The
Democratic theory was that nothing
had happened but the suppression of a
riot, during which slavery had ceased
to exist in the old form. The Presi
dent’s theory was partly this, and part
ly something else which was not very
intelligible. He declared that the States
were suspended, lying in a kind of poli
tical catalepsy, from which he proposed
to awaken them by assuming abso
lute power, which he did in his North
Carolina proclamation. This was, of
course, a hopeless confusion, and grad
ually the President has disappeared in
the Democratic embrace. The Repub
lican party have contended that with
slavery fell every thing .that sprang
from slavery, and they have insisted
that not only justice and honor, but
reason and common-sense, indicated
equal suffrage in the recovered States
as the only security of order and of
the restoration of the normal situa
tion under a free popular govern
ment.
The election was joined upon this
issue. The Southern leaders returned
to the Convention at Tammany Hall,
and took their old places at the head
of the party. They repudiated every
thing in the Republican policy of re
construction, declared for the national
dishonor, and nominated candidates
that pleased them. The consequence
was that there has been no obscurity
as to the real point of the canvass.
Shall the general Congressional policy
of reconstruction be sustained or
abandoned ? was the question. Are
the people of the United State resolved
that they will reconstruct the Union
upon principles agreeable to them, or
do they prefer that the late rebels
shall reconstruct it as they prefer?
Are the people afraid of negro supre
macy, or do they believe with General
Longstreet, and with the testimony of
all experience, that the cry of supre
macy is the mere cat-call of a canvass.
Do they think that they cannot con
stitutionally say a word upon the sub
ject of reconstruction, or is their au
thority, under the circumstances,
supreme ? Have they learned that the
Democratic cry of “nigger,” which
has been sounding for a generation,
is merely a noise to confuse the public
mind that it may not see that ignor
ance and injustice of every kind mean
endless agitation? Is the. North re
solved that its idea shall govern the
country as the idea of the South has
governed it for many a dreary year ?
These were the questions, simple,
sharp, clear, and the answer is tre
mendous. A futile effort was made
to obscure the point, and to fix the
public attention upon financial ques
tions. But every man instinctively
knew that the political interest ne
cessarily takes precedence at such a
time as this of the financial. When a
■great party, which, as a party, has fa
vored the rebellion of its chief wing,
returns to the control of that wing,
and under its lead demands not a
change of policy, not new measures
under the Government, but the forci*
ble overthrow of national law, it is a
question of national order and exist
ence; and it was as foolish to hope to
divert the public mind from it now as
it was in 1864. The result shows that
it was so. It is not a defeat so much
as an extinction of the Democratic
theory of the situation. It exposes its
utter ignorance of the nobler American
heart, and the great purpose of a vic
torious and generous people.
The Democratic appeal has been
twofold—to the meanest form of sel
fishness in the pocket, and to the
hatred and jealousy of race. They
have both been as scornfully and over
whelmingly rejected as its proposition
in 1864 to surrender to the rebellion.
Os the old free States Mr. Seymour
apparently receives the vote of two —
New York, which, by fraudulent
means, gives him five or six thousand
majority ; and New Jersey, which, by
the same method, may reach two thou-
sand. He gets the vote of Louisiana
and Georgia, in which the directions
of Wade Hampton, to starve those who
would not vote for Seymour, have been
followed and improved; and Kentucky,
Maryland, and Delaware vote for
him, the three States in which the old
slavery Democracy is still supreme.
But the conscience, the heart, the in
telligence, the industry, the enter
prise of the country, the indomitable
spirit that pushed the war to an un
conditional surrenfbr, that emancipa
ted the slaves, that saved the Union,
that is in full sympathy with every
lover of liberty in the world, and that
will greatly mould the future of the
world, have all resistlessly declared
against Mr. Seymour, ami the inhu
man and un-American policy of which
fie is the lit representative.
This is the end of the old form of
the Democratic policy in this country.
It will now cut loose from the corpse
to which, thirty years ago, it so cxult
ingly chained itself. Its old Southern
leaders have lost their prestige. Yet
they have one hope, and it is in the
ignorance of their followers. The
Southern chiefs are the men of convic
tion and of purpose in the party; and
such men, as experience has shown in
the history of all parties, are very pow
erful. Hopeless of reversing the ac
complished action of Congress, the
wisest of these will now endeavor to
influence the vote which they could
not destroy; while the more stupid
will continue to thwart and delay a
work which they can not prevent. But
the duty of Congress is clear. The
country has amply sustained a policy
■ which secures equal rights, and which
forbids all kinds of evasion and special
' pleading. The country means fair
' play to white and black in the South
ern States, and the new Administra
tion will take care that they both have
it. As to the “oppression” under
which the Southern whites are suffer
ing, the elections in Louisiana and
Georgia, and the universal terrorism,
show who is oppressed. In every one
of those States there are nothing but
. American citizens. American citizens
• have equal rights; and the Administra
) tionof General Grant, sustained by the
‘ enormous Majority of the people, will
1 sec that those rights/ire protected.

A Good Smoke is a Perpetual Comfort-
LORI LL A HD’S
"YACHT CLUB”
SMOKING TOBACCO.
Competent critics pronounce it best for many
reasons:
It is made of the best stock grown.
The Nicotine is extracted; there arc
No drugs in it, consequently it is
Anti-nervous in its effects.
It lias an agreeable, aromatic flavor ;
Does not burn or sting the tongue;
Leaves no unpleasant aftertaste in the
Mouth, or disagreeable odor in the room
Instead of exciting the nervous forces,
It allays irritation, and calms them.
We regard it as the perfection of
Smoking Tobacco. Orders for elegant
Meerschaum Pipes are being flicked daily
In the various sized bags in which it is sold,
As an extra inducement for those
Who love a good smoke to try it.
LORILLARD’S
“EVRBKA” Smoking Tobacco
Is likewise an excellent article of choice Virginia
Tobacco, of a heavier body than the former,
And hence much cheaper in price ; nevertheless
It makes an excellent smoke. Orders for
Meerschaum Pipes daily packed in this brand.
LORILLARD’S
“OEMTI RI” Chewing Tobacco
Composed of the beat cutting Leaf in the country.
Superior m color, liner in quality, and makes a
Better chew than other brands. Acknowledged
The Leading Fine Cnt Tobacco wherever used.
Respectable jobbers and dealers in all sections
Keep it, and small buyers can save money,
Time and trouble, by purchasing of them
LORILLARD’S Maccoboy, French Rappee,
and Scotch SNUFFS still retain excellent quali
ties which have made them so famous every
where.
