“ 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

together the various parts."— Washington’s
Farewell Address.
PLATFORM
Adopted by a Republican Convention <J
Augusta, at a meeting held at the City Hall,
Monday evening, Mov. 23, 1808.
Whereas, The citizens of Augusta are
about to elect municipal officers for the cn
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
Rewired,, That, as the Republican parly 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:
Rrsdlr.ed, 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
well as the white, the poor as well ns the rich.
Resolved, That as a measure of economy,
the salary of the Mayor should be reduced,
and the Workingmnnls Dirty plcdgis itself
to such reduction.
Resolccd That the whole license system is
wrong and oppressive, and that taxation
should lie exclusively on property and in
come.
Resolved, That all produce passed ovex 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 National
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.

The Warren County Ku Klux Again.
...Tho
panying affidavits, which is intended
as a denial of the Ku-Klux outrages
reported in the Republican, on the
authority of Captain IL C. Anthony,
Ferry Jeffreys (colored), and
others. VVe have read the Clipper's
defence carefully, and feel constrained
to say that, so fur as the material
statements of Anthony are concerned
(the acts of lawless personal violence
of the K. K.’s) the defence rather con
firms and corroborates than dis
proves.
The Clipper sets out by accusing
Captain Anthony with “ingratitude.”
With this charge we have little to do.
We have never seen the Captain that
we are aware of, and know' nothing of
the manner in which he conducted
himself at Warrenton. We ignore the
question of gratitude altogether, with
the single remark that if Anthony’s
report of outrages are true, there arc
nor can be any social obligations bind
ing him, or any citizen, Democrat or
Republican, in keeping the committal
of such outrages a secret from the
authorities.
Now, let us see what the Clipper's
denial of the material facts amounts
to. Anthony reports that Colquet
Ellens, living al Twos. M. Brown’s,
was attacked, and, while making his
escape, was shot in the leg. The
Clipper admits the shooting,but says:
There is ample proof, both black and
white, to show the fact that Colquet was
shot for stealing hogs, and was shot while
flying from the owners of the lions, who
were pursuing him.
Unfortunately for the Clipper, the
card of Mr. Brown, which it publishes,
does not sustain lia assertion that
Ellens was shot “while flying from
the owners of the hogs” that he was
stealing. Mr. Brown states “that
some parties, to me (him) unknown,
did visit my plantation, but did not
molest any one but a notoriously bad
negro, named Coi.quet Ellens, who
had been stealing hogs from my
neighbors.” Now, both the Clipper
and Mr. Brown acknowledge the cor
rectness of Captain Anthony’s report,
that Ellens was shot. Anthony
calls the parties who did the shooting
“Ku-Klnx,” while Mr. Brown says the
parties were “unknown” to him. They
are probably both right in this partic
ular. If -we admit the correctness of
Mr. B.’s allegation, that he was shot
for “stealing hogs from iny (his)
neighbors,” the act is equally lawless
and indefensible. The laws of Georgia
are adequate for the punishment of
hog stealing, and we know a Warren
county jury would convict if the evi
dence justified. Disinterested jteople
will not fail to regard it as a little
singHb-u- that, although the parties
were “unknown” to him, Mr. Brown
should be able to certify the cause of
their shooting Ellens. Did they in.
form him? or did he hear somebody
say eo? or did he simply surmise it ?
And further, how does Mr. Brown
know that Ellens stole his neighbor’s
hogs ? If he was cognizant of such
a fact, why did he not, as a good eiti.
zen, have him brought before the civil
authorities? These questions will
occur to every unbiased mind, and
shows how careful people should be
who publish “cards.”
Next, as to Perry Jeffers, who
Anthony reported as driven from
home, and the enjoyment of the pro
ceeds of his year’s labor by these in
famous night prowlers, while the
Clipper gives him a bad name, it ad
mits that he was compelled to leave ,
but gives as an excuse that he shot
and killed one of the “unknown” par
ties. He did this, as any man has a
right to do, in defence of his “castle.”
So there is no difference between the
Clipper and Anthony, except one
gives old Jeffreys a good character,
and the other gives him a bad one.
It is a little remarkable that the
Clipper does not pretend to deny the
killing and burning of the body of
the sick negro boy.
The certificates which the Clipper
publishes prove nothing. The mate
rial facts are the acts of violence of
these midnight prowlers and assas
sins. These are substantially admit
ted, and are in fact corroborated. The
Clipper asks the Republican “to
give us justice and we will give to the
country peace.” Heaven knows we
would not wrong a single individual
in the county of Warren. Wo have
published the evidence of the violence
which has been practiced in that county
as a solemn public duty, and as the
only means of remedying the evil.
Such lawlessness as evidently exists
in that county cannot be abated by
denying the facts or defending the
parties who prowl around at night
while all honest men arc asleep. They
are enemies of Georgia and of society,
and should lie pursued, exposed and
punished as such.
For the edification of the Clipper
we give another of Mr. Anthony’s re
ports :
Office Agent Bureau R., F. and A.L., i
Warrenton, Ga., Oct. 12,1868. C
.1/. Gallagher. Ret. Capt. .1. .1. .1. G„
AHania, Ga. :
1 have the honor to inform you of the dis
position of the inhabitants against freedmen,
who proposed a meeting for the 28th of Sep
tember. This should have been done before
this time, but sickness nt, and most of the
28tli of’Swtemlxir was sei apart for a meeting
of Republicans, with the assurance that
speakers were to meet and address the freed
men of this section.
The citizens of the town, being opposed to
tliis, called a regular meeting of the Demo
cratic Club, sent a Committee to the Sheriff
to meet with them and give his views on the
proposed meeting. The Sheriff stated before
the Chib that it was Iris duty as a peace officer
to prevent any gathering ot any armed force,
and tliat should the gathering, to take place
on the 28th, show any disposition to break
the peace, he would use every endeavor to
sustain order, and he guaranteed that the
meeting should lie quiet, and tiiat there
should be no arms or music at the said meet
ing. The Club then pledged their faith that
they would assist him to keep order, and that
the meeting could take place. Committees
were appointed to visit the different roads to
advise all to come without arms. The meet
ing took place quiet and orderly, and not
being allowed to use the Court House, went
to their own church. 1 had been to Hancock
county, a few days previous, to advise order,
and on the morning of the 28th, visited
Camak, understanding tliat ninny were com
ing from that direction.
On my return. I met the Sheriff nt the
cars. He informed me that the town was
full of armed white men, many of these
mounted. On this information, wc repaired
to the church, and advised the freedmen to
break up and leave for their homes, which
was done, although they all felt as if their
rights were infringed upon. <>n my return
to town, I saw twenty-five or thirty mounted
mon, with double-barrelled guns and revol
vers. These were from Glasscock county,
and I learn that they had been sent for to
keep the peace. They were welcomed by
speeches at the Court House. One speaker,
swinging his revolver over his head, said:
“This is the law, and this shall rule the
country.’’ The freedmen were quiet, orderly
and well behaved. The whites, before leav
ing, got into a little skirmish of their own.
in which two or three were injured. The
town of Warrenton was a perfect arsenal for
that day, and a white sneaker would not
have lieen allowed to speak without a strong
force to protect him. The Sheriff is n deter
mined fellow, but has no assistance, flis
friends do not dare to render any, for fear of
the midnight assassin.
I am, vaty respectfully,
Your obedient servant.

Another Infamous Sheet. -—A
little paper called the Chattahoochee
Mirror is evidently jealous of the
Early County News, and attempts to
lead the latter in infamy, by the pub
lication of a virulent and basely false
attack on Governor Bvllock. The
editor calls the Governor a “ pimp ”
and speaksol his “drunken revelries.”
No respectable Democrat has ever ac
cused the Governor of any personal im
propriety, because he is as little amen
able to the charge as any citizen of the
State. It is the fate of good men to
have every little jiee barking at their
heels. The Governor is not exempt
from the fate common to others of his
character.
The probability is that the creature
that writes for the Mirror cannot
obtain credit for a drink of mean
whiskey.

A Disclaimer.
Mr. Editor —An article appeared in your
issue of the 25th instant headed “ Slavery
in a New Locality.” which I am, after hav
ing an interview with Mr. Cogin, fully satis
lied that the article is rtUculated U> do him
injustice.
I was under the impression at the time that
such was his reason, and may have so stated.
But I am assured that my discharge was not
on account of my politics--but from a false re
mit—which, it true, v ould have justified
lis action in the premises. This much I
deem due Mr. Cogin, as well as myself. Y’qu
will please do inc the kindness to insert this
article, and also state the fact that the article
alluded to appeared without niy knowledge.
M. M. Walker.
[Of course we give place to Mr.
Walker’s disclaimer. The intimation
that wc published the article without
such authority as is recognized by all
newspaper men is entirely gratuitous.
Although we did not hear Mr. Walk
er declare that he was discharged for
political reasons, we have the best of
evidence that he did repeatedly so
state in such a public, emphatic and
indignant manner as to fully justify
our article of the 25th. An implied,
censure of our publication would come
with better grace from other than the
person who was, to say the least, the
indirect cause of it. —Editor Na

Georgia and Vermont Farming
Compared.
The Macon Telegraph has a very
interesting article in response to an
inquirer, in relation to the farming in
Georgia. Tliat paper, in the first
place, quotes the experience of a Ver
mont farmer, giving an account of one
year’s expenses and profits. The Ver
monter says:
My farm consists of a hundred and twenty -
fivc acres, and had been let for many years,
and was generally considered run out. Salos
of produce and stock amounted to $1,699 88.
The increase of stock was enough to balance
the sales. Expenses of all kinds, together
with S3OO w Inch I charge for my own work,
$967 60; leaving a balance for profit of
$ 132 68. Tliis, I think, is better than money
nt six per cent., and answers the question as
to whether farming is profitable.
The Telegraph then proceeds to
make an estimated statement of what
would probably be the expenses and
profits on the same area of land culti
vated. Its conclusions arc most grati
fying and encouraging. Wc submit
them for the calm consideration of all
thoughtful minds. The Telegraph
says:
Now Vermont is a fertile State—land
rules high, and a farm of 125 acres is by no
means one of its small farms—and yet'here
wc sec a Vermont farmer a little inclined to
boast on $732.68 net product of a year’s ope
rations—conducted, no doubt, with a good
deal of intelligence and skill and steady and
faithful personal labor. We will hardly un
dertake to say with confidence what such a
man might do on a hundred and twenty-five
acres of fair Georgia land with the same dili
gence, provided lie had the capital to utilize
his energies in the best way. The difficulty
with the most of our Georgia farmers is tha't
they are just now or have been without
practice true' economy neither in growing
nor selling. It is one of the misfortunes that
poverty compels us to take hold of every
thing al disadvantage.
But supposing such a man had his 125
acres in Georgia, equally as good land as he
is cultivating in Vermont, and ample re
sources to buy fertilizers, good implements,‘
etc., and should put fifty acres in cotton, cul
tivated and fertilized no better than David
Dickson’s 20-acre field, which made him from
one to two bales to the acre—say 75 bales at
23c., $8,625 —give him thirty acres in corn at
25 bushels to the acre, s7s(4—twenty acres in
wheat at 25 bushels to the acre, $1,'25O —five
acres in sweet potatoes, s2so—balance pas
ture, woodland, small crops, mid soon, not
considered—total crop values $10,875.
As we have given the products of high til
lage let us give the cost of it. Twenty dol
lars to the acre for fertilizers, exclusive of
farm manures, $2,100. Eight prime field
hands and rations, $1,600 —contingents—ex-
tra labor—wear and tear—interest, etc.,
taxes, etc, SI,OO0 —$4,7oo—balance to the
farmer, $6,175. Now if anybody supposes
that estimate a wild one, all wc nave to say
is Georgia .yearly show's the same or better
results with good cultivation.
An Lviossible Task.— The Wash
ington Gazette occupies most of its
editorial space, weekly, in a futile at
tempt to justify the unprecedented au
dacity and treasonable action of the
grand jury of Wilkes county in their
impudent communication to Judge
Gibson. The excuse given that he
had “defiled the judicial ermine” is
maliciously and nonsensically false.
Dare one of these embryo anarchists
assert that Judge Gibson has permit
ted politics to influence his official con
duct? He attended the Chicago Con.
vention as a citizen of Georgia, and
not as J udge of the Middle Cir
cuit. The two or three talks that he
made during the canvass were directed
chiefly to allaying all strife and bitter
ness—a mission well worthy of a Judge,
although acting in the capacity of a
free citizen. It was not Judge Gibson,
but the Wilkes grand jury, who have
brought politics into the sanctuary of
justice. No sane man doubts, or can
did man will deny, that it was because
Judge Gibson supported Grant that
he was arraigned in such an outrageous
manner.

Disgrace to Democracy-
In another column will be found an
extract from the National liepublican,
of Augusta, Georgia, showing clearly
how that State was carried for Sey
mour and Blair; undoubtedly the same
method was adopted in Louisiana.
Truly a party must be lost to all sense
of honor and justice, when such pro
ceedings are tolerated and sought to
be excused by its leaders. Resistance,
politically, was to be expected to the
ontrftnohMcmcnv vx a
in bondage by the whites of the South,
but we never did expect to be com
pelled to chronicle such outrages, by a
people who have for years boasted of
their spotless honor, upon this race,
' after their rights have been acknowl
edged and guaranteed by State Con
stitutions, under which both races live
and claim equal protection. The col
ored men were not beaten and intimi
dated for voting, but because they
were not inclined to vote as suited
these desperadoes. What becomes of
the loud cries of oppression sent up
by the white Democrats of the South ?
Are these examples of what is termed
their quiet submission to, and acquies
cence in the civil governments of the
reconstructed States ? Or with them
' does oppression mean restraint from
• wreaking all their diabolical vengeance
on the defenceless ?
A part of the press of the South
have been constant in their efforts to
urge on these criminal ruffians by the
cry of “ American Poland,” but we
leave it to the civilized world to say
who are the Poles. Justice calls loud
that such wrongs should be punished,
come from whatever source they may.
Confidence and trust have been abused
to an unpardonable extent, by men who
have given sacred promises of reforma
tion, in consideration of being ex
empted from punishment for the
crime of treason, and who still un
blushing!}’ ask for consideration at the
hands of a government, the laws of
which they persist in setting at defi
ance. No reason can dictate such a
course; it must rather be attributed
to an unqucnchcd thirst for blood, and
an unconquered desire for war.
Forbearance at times ceases to be a
virtue, and in the instance under con
sideration has done much harm, which
has veen visited upon the unoffending
colored men, who only seek to exer
cise those privileges which have been
conferred upon them by the authority
of the nation, whose wards they are,
and roust continue to be, unless unmo
lested in the enjoyment of the liberty
which has been conferred upon them.
Some will urge the injustice of punish
ing the whole for the crimes of apart.
This plea should only be listened to
after it can be shown that a reasona*
ble effort has been made towards re
straining th* perpetrators of such
crimes by those who claim to be
peaceable and law-abiding ex-seces
sionists.
To the countenance and encourage
ment extended them by such men as
Andrew Johnson, and the promises of
aid and assistance given by such men
as Francis P. Blair, may be attributed
much of the horror and brutality en
acted by the unreconstructed of Louis
iana and Georgia during the late elec
tion in those States. We trust that
tins matter will receive the early at
tention of Congress at its next ses
sion. No deprivation of just privi
leges is asked, but protection and equal
rights for all is demanded.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
[AnVBRTI»KMBMT.]
A CARD.
It batt come to my knowledge that one or more
vile miscreants have circulated a report that I
had been beard to declare, substantially, to Mr.
H. H. CLAPP, that rutlier tbau see the Democ |
racy come into power, I would lead a thousand
colored men to burn tbe city. I hereby brand the
authors of this infamous charge as black hearted
slanderers. If they will show their cowardly
heads, I will punish them as such unprincipled
slanderers deserve.
I was born and ra’sed in Augusta, and yield to
none in devotion to its prosperity. All I have
ever said was to deplore the probable conse
quences of an extended riot.
I append the certificate of Mr. CLAPP, who
those base fellows are said to have given as their
authors. GEO. M HOOD.
As there has been some misrepresentation in
respect to some statements made to me by Captain
HOOD, at the time of a riot at the Augusta Fac
tory, I would state, that to the best of my recol
lection, Captain HOOD said, that if the negroes
became exasperated, that they might be led to
burn the Factory or the city, and that there was
no telling where such a thing might end. I have
heard many make remarks similar to those of
Captain HOOD. H. IL CLAPP.
