PLATFORM
Adapted by a Republican Convention of
Augusta, at si meeting held at the City Hall,
Monday evening, Nov. 23, 1868.
Whereas, The citizens of Augusta are
about to elect municipal officers for the en
suing year; and whereas, it is eminently
proper that a party which presents candi
dates for the suffrages of the people should
make known its principles. Therefore, be it
* ReseUveil, That, as the Republican party is,
and always has been, the friend of the labor
ing classes, that our ticket be called the
Workingman’s Ticket, and that we present
the following resolutions as our platform :
Resolved, That it is the duty of the Munici
pal Officers of the city to protect all its citi
zens in the enjoyment of all the rights guar
anteed to them by law, the colored citizen as
wel l as the white, the poor as well as the rich.
Resolved, That as a measure of economy,
the salary of the Mayor should be reduced,
and the Workingman’s Party pledges itself
to such reduction.
/lesolted, That the whole license system is
wrong and oppressive, and that taxation
should be exclusively on property and in
come.
Resolved, That all produce passed over the
Bridge, for the consumption of the city, in
cluding cotton and wood, should be passed
free from toll.
Resolved, That the City Council should not
involve thecity in debt unless it be absolutely
necessary in conducting the Municipal Gov
ernment.
Resolved, That the above Preamble and
Resolutions be published in The N ational
Republican.
The following additional Resolution was
also passed at the same meeting:
Resolved, That the nomination of candi
dates for Mayor and Aidermen be postponed
until Saturday, the 28th inst.
JOHN REYNOLDS,
David Porter, Chairman.
Secretary.
The Workingman’s Platform.
The interests of the working man,
and of small dealers, has never been
consulted by our Southern politicians.
The negro question has always served
the purpose of seekers alter place.
Every other question and interest has
been held in subordination to the
grand one of protection, and the
laboring class have been entirely
ignored. But a new era is dawning
upon us, and the working man and
the small trader is beginning to assert
his power in the control, and his
rights to the protection, of the laws.
We published in the last issue of
the Republican, and again this
morning, the platform of the Work
ingman’s Party of the city of Au
gusta. The attention of the poorer
classes is respectfully invited to the
following plank in that platform; ,
Resolved, That the whole license system is
wrong and oppressive, and that taxation
should be exclusively on property and
income.
This is a most righteous doctrine.
The law , as it exists at present, is most
unfair in its practical workings. That
the reader may understand how unjust
it is, we will illustrate: Mr. Schneider,
the largest retail liquor dealer in Au
gusta, pays no more for his license
than Mrs. Sullivan, or Mr. Frank
Murray. The first named of these
! three does an immense business, while
the sales of the latter two are compara
tively small, and their profits, in con*
sequence, insignificant. The Work
ingman's Party proposes to equalize
this matter by abolishing all tax on
licenses, and requiring Mr. Schneider
to pay a certain per cent, on the re
ceipts of his establishment, and like
wise requiring of Mrs. Sullivan and
Mr. Murray to pay on their receipts.
The effect of such a change would be
to place the burdens of the City Gov
ernment on those w’ho make the money.
Is this not right? Is it not just?
Where is the honesty of making the
small dealer pay as much as the large ?
We only take the dealers for an illus
tration. The same principle, if the
Workingman’s Party is successful, is
to apply to every other class of busi
ness.
But we are met with the argument
that it the law is changed as advocated
by our party, the tax on real estate
will be increased. Not at all. Instead
of decreasing the public revenues, it
will largely increase them. The only
difference will be that the money will
come out of the pockets of those
blessed with large incomes instead of
that class who barely realize sufficient
from their business to “ keep soul and
body together.”
It is the absolute interest of all
hucksters, and small dealers, to secure
this change. The wealthy should have
no objection to it, for “out of their
abundance” they ought to be willing
to “ give liberally.”
“KuKlux Outrages.”
The Radical paper published at Augusta
ventilates, in a recent issue, a lying affidavit
by a vagabond negro concerning some very
horrible cruelty ]>crpctrated by “ Ku-Klux”
(of course) upon a crippled “ man and
brother” in Warren county.
1 Maron Journal and Messenger.
One of the editors of the above
named journal is said to be a minister
of the Gospel. That he degrades and
dishonors the character of his profes
sion the above extract clearly proves.
The writer pronounces the affidavit
recently published in the Republi
can, giving the particulars of the
murder and burning of the body of
a sick negro boy in Warren, “ a lying
affidavit by a vagabond negro.”
Now, we assert that the statement
is wholly truy, and that the writer for
the Journal and Messenger, if ho had
a decent regard for truth, and for the
principles of morality which his pro
fession inculcates, would not have so
hastily and emphatically denied the
facts. If the editor would live up to
his professions, he would denounce
such barbarism, instead of protecting
the savages in his party by claiming
for them the innocence of lambs, and
denying, without inquiry, that they'
commit any crimes.
The Chronicle <£’ Sentinel, yester
day morning, also denies the state
ment with reference to the doings of
the Warren county Ku-Klux, by
stating that if they were true the
editor would have heard of it. Hanse
Wright is guilty of the basest kind
of lying when he says he has not
heard of them from Democratic
sources. It is useless to mince mat
ters. These Democratic editors and
leaders fill the hearts of the people
with hate and murder, and when the
fruits of their barbarous teaching is
seen in assassinations, murders, and
burnings of human bodies, they have
the unblushing impudence to attempt
to deceive the people of the country
by a fiat denial of the truth. Such
men arc simply liars. They can not
be less than this. History will pro
nounce them much more than liars.
It will characterize them as the insti
gators of a heathenish barbarism that
would disgrace savages.
In addition to the evidence we have
already published in relation to the
murder and burning of the body of
the colored boy, in Warren county,
wo to-day present the following cor
roborative testimony;

1 have the honor to make a statement of a
murder that took place at Joseph Brinkley’s
plantation that was intended for old man
Perry Jeffrey, who was assaulted on the
night of November Ist. Mr. Alack Lozen
bury sent for Perry and told him tliat the
same party of men intended to kill him for a
Radical. On this information Perry slept in
the woods. On the night of the atli about
100 men visited his house; not finding him
there they killed his son, a sick boy, not able
to get oft his bed; after killing they put him
into a feather bed, with another on the top of
that, piled all of the furniture and clothing
of the house, and burned the whole. The
Coroner is investigating the matter now.
Perry has a good crop; some 25 bags of
cotton, but dares not stay to gather it. He
and his family leave for Augusta, to-day: lie
has made the Sheriff liis agent to sell his

Perry is a good old. man, industrious and

How about Yourself. —We pub
lished yesterday the cooked up cor
respondence between .Messrs. Hill
and Miller, claimants for seats in the
United States Senate from Georgia.
Mr. Hill complacently informs his
Democratic would-be colleague that,
in conversation with persons at Wash
ington, he recounted “what he had
done for reconstruction in the Conven
tion, and in defence of the Constitu
tion proposed by the Convention.’’
Why did not Mr. Hill condescend to
inform the public what he did either
for the Convention or the “Constitu
tution proposed by the Convention.”
If current reports be true, the recital
would not fatigue him.
Slavery in a New Locality.—
We are creditably informed that Mr.
M. M. Walker, a white man, who has
faithfully labored in the Augusta Fac
tory for nine years, has been dis
charged, because he expressed his
determination not to vote for the
Democratic Conspiracy Ticket tor
Mayor and Aldermen. No fault was
found with Mr. Walker’s work. It
was simply an outrageous attempt
to make a slave of a free white
man, and to intimidate other employ
ees. Os what use is a vote to Mr.
Walker, if he cannot vote as his
judgment and conscience dictates ?
Waiting.—The Atlanta Era seems
to be in a quandary as to the course to
pursue, politically. That paper is evi
dently “waiting to see which way the
cat will jump.” When the cat 'does
“jump,” the editor w ill claim that that
was his position all the time. What
the paper lacks in principle, it makes
up in impudence.
Letter from the Capital
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 23, 1868.
Editor Republican: Grant was a
“tanner,” it is unnecessary to say who
he has tanned. He was an undertaker
—he made the coffin the Democracy
is buried in. But some of the so
called say he is going to exhume this
defunct concern, and in ’72 will be
their candidate for the Presidency,
and in the meantime intends to dis
card every Republican and every'
principle of the Republican platform
aud will run the machine to suit them
exclusively. Well, if he does we will
wager that he will not be assassinated.
the legislature
will be overwhelmingly' Republican at
its next session, in all probability.—
The negroes will return and take their
seats which were unconstitutionally
occupied for a few weeks by what is
known as the “new issue.” And be
sides, Congress will require the letter
and intent of the law to be enforced,
which will exclude every one who can
not and will not take the “test oath.”
Os these there are many who partici
pated in the work of the last Legisla
ture and received the people’s money
for it, whose scats hereafter will be
filled by those who received the next
highest number of votes at the election
for Assemblymen. All these added to
the present Republican members, it
will be perceived, will make the
Legislature overwhelmingly and joy
fully Republican; then where will be
the power to “turn over the State Road
to a set of Commissioners ?” (I had
liked to have said a party of vultures.)
Why, in the hands of those who are
friendly supporters of the State Gov
ernment, who desire the prosperity of
the people of Georgia more than the
gratification of political hatred, and
who will retain in force such laws and
regulations as have promoted this end
in the past, and men who will in future
legislate only for this purpose.
visitors.
There has been a large number of
visitors (many of the so-called mem
bers of the Legislature), during the
past ten days. Some are engaging
board and lodging for their anticipated
sojourn with us in January', while
others are “laying in” their supply of
refreshments, consisting of whiskey,
etc., for the Christinas holidays. A
jolly time to them. Fulton.
Opposition to Railroads.
“The Life of George Stephenson
and his son Robert,” which has been
written by Samuel Smiles and pub
lished by the Harpers, is in a large
octavo volume, and has many illustra
tions. As one reads these pages, it is
difficult to believe that such intense
hostility to railways, and such an
utter want to faith in the possibility of
locomotive transportation, coulu aave
existed in England within the memory
of the present generation. It is also
interesting to trace the marvellous
strides in mechanical construction
since Mr. Stephenson’s first engine,
the Rocket, was built. The locomo
live of 1825 is the locomotive of to-day
less than the toddling child is to the
mature man. When the first competi
tive trial was made, in 1825, the en
gine, was preceded by a man on horse
back. Mr. Stephenson ordered him to
stand aside, and the Rocket was put
to the pace of fifteen miles an hour.
Even then the passenger traffic was
kept in the background, because it
was useless to stir up the hostility of
inn-keepers, stage-owners, etc., mere
ly for the sake of “carrying a few
hundred passengers a year.” Large
cities refused to permit railroads to be
contrasted to thorn, but not many
years passed before they were glad to
have branches to connect them with
main lines. The newspaper, the coun
try gentlemen, men high in Parlia
ment, condemned and sneered at rail
roads.
Au eminent gentleman of Liverpool
pledged himself that, in the event of
a locomotive ever being made which
should travel more than ten miles in
the hour, “he would cat a stewed en
gine wheel for his breakfast.” The
Quarterly Review asked, “What can
be more palpably absurd than the pros
pect held out of locomotives travelling
twice as fast as coaches ? We ivould
as soon expect the people to suffer
themselves to be fired off upon one of
Congreve’s rockets, as to trust them
selves to the mercy of such a machine
going at such a rate.” It was urged
that property near railroads would fall
in value, that the smoke of engines
would poison the atmosphere, and be
a perpetual nuisance.
The “feiv hundred passengers” ex
ported in 1825 rose, in 1866, in Great
Britain, to over 313,000,000, equiva
lent to ten trips a year to each man,
woman and child in the kingdom. As
to the peril of disasters, more persons
were killed by lightning in England,
in 1866, than on the railroads, and,
according to the Registrar-General’s
return for 1867, the chances of every
onq in England being hanged are thirty
times as great as those of being killed
upon a railway.
Mr. Smile’s book makes it evident
that the vast population of London are
indebted to the railways for their sup
plies of food and fuel. He says if an
invading force should cut the North
ern railroads, and hold them for a fort
night, London would be starved into
submission - A r . U. Commercial Ad

Time Enough Yet.—The inquisi
tive press and the eager politicians
arc speculating about the composition
of Gon. Grant’s Cabinet. As yet all
such speculations are in vain. The
head of the incoming Administration
was trained in the army. He ia
proverbially, and, to active partisans,
often provokingly reticent. He keeps
his own counsels. He says little,
but does an immense amount of think
ing. He listens attentively, cogitates
carefully, and, when he gets ready,
acts deliberately and decisively.
We fancy the public will yet find
out that two inflexible rules will
guide him in forming his Cabinet.
First, it will be composed of men of
commanding talents, executive ability,
tried patriotism, and lofty integrity.
Secondly, he will select them to suit
himself, and no amount of pressure
will be able to impose upon him any
man whom he docs not cordially desire
as one of his Executive advisers. In
this respect, his choice of a Cabinet
will almost be without a precedent.
Watch and see if our predictions
are not verified by the event, says the
New York Sun.

Difficulty at Athens, Ga.—A
very regrettable difficulty took place,
yesterday evening, in this town, be
tween Mr. Knox, Agent of the Freed
men’s Bureau, and Mr. Tom Frierson,
a young man belonging to one of the
most respectable families of Athens,
which resulted in Mr. Knox shooting
Mr. Fierson in the leg, just above the
knee, iflicting a severe, if not danger
ous wound.
The cause of the collision is not
very well understood. It is reported,
however, that some misunderstanding
has existed between the parties for
some time, and that angry messages
have passed between them; but
nothing serious occurred until yester
day, when Knox shot Frierson on the
stair-case leading to Knox’s office.
Mr. Knox was promptly arrested by
the municipal authorities, to whom he
readily submitted, and a formal exam
ination will take place to-morrow.
The negroes were very much excited
all last night, and paraded the streets
•with bludgeons, old swords, and crazy
fire locks of various descriptions, de
termined to do or die in defense of
Knox, whom nobody threatened to
assail, and against ■whom there was no
apparent excitement or ill will.
Mr. Knox is said to have telegraphed
immediately after he shot Frierson, to
the authorities at Atlanta to send
troops here to prevent a riot, and I
learn that a special train with a de
tachment has just arrived. So far as
the white population and the civil au
thorities are concerned, I can see no
possible need of military interference.
The former have no feeling in the
matter, but one of regret that the
peace and good order of the town have
been-disturbed, and of sympathy with
the wounded young man and his
family, and the authorities arc resolved
to do their whole duty, and vindicate
the law.
Mr. Knox need ncjt dread any per
sonal violence or popular vengeance.
He is as safe in the protection of the
Mayor and police as if he was at home
in Michigan, and if there be any dan
ger of a riot, it must be among the
negroes, who have been very wickedly
excited by the indiscreet friends of
Mr. Knox.
The whole community regret the oc
currence, and if Mr. Knox reports the
exact state of the case, he must admit
that during his stay here, in the dis
charge of his odtous duties, he has had
no just cause of offence against the
people except it be the entire unanx
unity with which they oppose the poli
tics of Mr. Knox and his ill-judged
advice toward the negroes.
