WEDNESDAY MORNING. . .Dec. 2.1868
Union—laberlj—-JiiNtice.
This is a Republic where the Will of
the People is the Law of the Land.
[U. 8. Grant.
“WTgc/i over th’, preservation of the Union
with zealouseye, 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."— Washington’s
Farewell Address.
PLATFORM
Adopted by a Republican Uonemtinn of
Augusta, at ameeting 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
liesolreel. 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 xvc 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 guai
anteed to them by law, the colored cit izen as
well as the white, the poor as well as the rich.
Retained, That as a measure of economy,
the salary of the Mayor should be reduced,
and the Workingman’s Party pledges itself
to such reduction.
Rcsotced, Dial the whole license system is
wrong and oppressive, and that taxation
sliottld be exclusively on property and in
come.
Rewired, 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 the city 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 jxistponcd
until Saturday, the 28th inst.
.TORN REYNOLDS,
David Porter, Chairman.
Secretary.
Courage.
The Commissioners of Registration
concluded their labors at two o’clock
on yesterday afternoon. The registra
tion is now complete. It was generally
conceded that two hundred more
white than colored voters would regis
ter ; but, contrary to our expectation,
there is an excess of only seventy
four whites over the colored list.
After deducting the few reported
treacherous men who have deserted
us, we can safely-^—confidently—rely
on a white vote of three hundred—the
number that saved the Pass at Ther
mopylae Now, the issue is with the
men whom the Republican party have
freed, defended and enfranchised. The
Republican party gave you freedom—
will you now sell yourselves by going
with your natural enemy, the Demo
cratic party ? Courage, friends, stand
firm, and victory is sure.
An Evidence of Ignorance.—The
Macon Journal Mfissenyr argues
that we are “ignorant,” because
we spoke of one of its editors as a min
ister of the Gospel. There are thous
ands of people who know little or
nothing of either of these editors, and
yet they are not considered very
ignorant. If a knowledge of their per
sonal history and habits and religion,
is a necessary qualification for persons
to be considered intelligent, then
we fear there are many very respecta
ble gentlemen who may bo classed as
“ignorant.” The editors of that paper
are not half so well known as they
vainly suppose.
We lieg pardon for saying that one
of them was a minister. We now
say neither of them are ministers;
that we are not aware that they are
even Christians; but, judging from
the reckless statements which the pa
per makes daily, and its proscriptive
spirit, we think it a matter of much
doubt.
The Question in a Nitshell.—
We publish elsewhere an editorial
which appeared in a late number of
the New York Jt-iiune. The article
is brief, but its statement of the rela
tions of Georgia to the Union are
logical and conclusive. That truly
representative journal takes the view
Occupied by the Republican ever
since the Democracy perpetrated their
glowing treason and usurpation. It
is the only ground that is at all
tenable. It is not only the position of
the Republican, but of the Republi.
can party of Georgia and the United
States. The honor of the Nation is at
stake. A nest of traitors cannot be
allowed to defy the laws of the United
States, much less its Constitution.
Thunk Gon, this is a Nation now.
The Early County News on the Macon
Telegraph.
The Macon Telegraph has aroused
the ire of the Early County N< irs by
its declaration that the latter was “ a
small local paper, which prides itself
simply on its violence and extrava
gance, and does not reflect the opin
ions <>f probably half a dozen people
in the State.” The News retorts in a
column of violent abuse of Mr. Clisby,
of the Telegraph. We publish the
concluding portion ol the article, with
the remark that we in no wise wish to
be understood as endorsing the person
al attack on Mr. C. We only wish
to illustrate the spirit of the back
woods Democracy, of which the News
is a genuine representation :
Our opinions are now just what they weie
before and (hiring the war, and we express
them; we always did mid always will hate
Yankees, the whole nation of them, no
matter whether they are in ii Macon or a
New York “ sanctum.’’ Wr were born and
raised in “ Dixie’’—we glory in it, and there
fore think wc have at least as much right to
give our ideas and “ notions" as to how she
should and how she should not be governed
as a “fellow" who first made his fli'st ap
pearance in the world —in the “ wooden
nutmeg" section of it—and where the indi
vidual who cun curse the South and her
institutions most is considered and looked
upon as the brightest gentleman and most
perfect Christian. It is our business to keep
and hold up to public gaze and scorn the
vile, corrupt and dishonest men who are
playing their roles in the tragedy of general
Southern destruction, and we shall continue
to do so in the future ns in the past, whether
it suits one Air. Col. Joseph Clisby, Esq. or
not, and he can go on with his tirade of uuder
the-groundabuseof usas much as he pleases,
and take his own road to hell, but he will
always find us ready to retaliate when xvc
feel inclined to deal in the “skunk" line.
Take Joseph Clisby and his Macon Telegraph
in their length and breadth, in their height
and depth, in their manners and in their
propensities, and he is a mighty little man
and his paper very small potatoes; but in
that littleness there is frequently all that is
offensive and disagreeable to all true South
ern gentlemen. (Sec his late articles eulo
gizing Grant.) For several years this fellow
has been barking, neighing, bleating, bray
ing, mewing, puffing, swaggering and strut
ting, in Macon until he lias made himself
bald-headed, and every day during that time
an offensive smell lias gone out from him.
And believing the homely old adage, that
“he who lies clown with dogs must rise up
xvitii fleas,” he and his two-sided sheet have
been permitted to pass unxvhipped by justice.
As Brownlow once said of a fellow, so will
we say of Clisby and his Tdcgraph-- “He is
the butt cutt of original sin and the upper
crust of all Meatiness.” Here our first chap
ter closes.
Can't Tell the Truth. —There
are some Democratic papers in Geor
gia who seem utterly' incapacitated to
publish the truth. The Columbus
is among the weakest in this
line. Its latest statement is that the
Warrenton Clipper has published
affidavits from the persons whom the
Republican reported as killed or
wounded, in which they deny the
reports. The Warrenton Clipper
has published no such affidavits, nor
has it pretended to do so.
Don't Fancy Them.—The Atlanta
Constitution does not believe that
immigrants as hired laborers, on Geor
gia farms will be unprofitable, or at
least more expensive than our native
labor. The immigrant laborers can
not compete with the colored people
yet awhile.
We will then Acknowledge.—
The Macon Journal & Messenger says
it charges nothing for advertising us
“in a respectable journal.” When the
editors advertise us “in a respectable
journal we will promptly acknowledge
the fact; but they will have to select
some other medium than the Journal
& Messenger to do the advertising.
—•—
Mistaken.—The Early County AYies
says :
Let it be remembered that the editor of the
Republican is one Bryant, a scalawag and
negro lover, who has lived on swindling and
stealing from the colored people for the last
two years or more.
“Let it be remembered” that “one
BryAnt,” has nothing whatever to
do with either the editing or manag
ing of the Hepubli.can. We hope
the News will “remember” this long
enough to make the correction.
Bad Advice.—The Chronicle and
Sentinel, of yesterday, does not con
tain the card of Messrs. Blodgett
and Russell, advising their respec
tive friends to go quietly to the polls,
cast their ballots for the candidates of
their choice, and then return to their
several avocations. We understand
that its insertion was refused. But the
“ Shyster” urges all business men to
close their places of business, right in
the teeth of the advice of his candi
date. Does this “Shyster” imagine
that the people of Augusta wear his
collar, and will obey his beck and call ?
The advice is bad. It is mischievous,
and is given with a mischievous
intent. For the sake of the peace of
the community, it will not be heeded.
The Nine Hundred and Ninety-
Ninth Time.—For the nine hundred
and ninety-ninth time the Atlanta
yesterday, informed its readers that its
editor begun life in the same village
withllon. John T. Hoffman. It is im
portant that Georgians should remem
ber this, hence the frequent repetition
of the fact.
* -
Their Natures.—lt is the nature
of dogs to “lick the hand that strikes
them, and of serpents to strike their
poisonous langs into the object that
warms them into life.”
Freedom of Opinion.— Every man.
shall vote as he pleases. Os course,
none will vote against hjs interests.
Advertising its Own Editori
als.— The Atlanta Era, of yesterday,
says : “ Our leading editorial of this
morning is of unusual length, but wc
hbpe no one will fail to read it on that
account,” etc. This advertising of
one’s own editorials is as novel as it
is modest.
New Jersey Official Vote.—
The official vote of New Jersey is:
Seymour, 82,725 ; Grant, 79,971. In
the Third Congressional District,
Hill, Republican, has 56 majority.
Changed.—Last week the Atlanta
Era spoke of the Ku-Klux as a fabu
lous organization. Yesterday it spoke
of it as a reality—which it is.
The success of the 'Working
men’s ticket is more essential to the
security of life and opinion and prop
erty, than was the election of General
Grant to the peace ol the country, as
great as the latter was. Remember
this and vote right. Don’t fear, and
don’t believe fair promises from the
rich people.
Forward, Citizens !—Let no man
fail to do his duty during the election.
Remember the interests of the city, in
which every citizen is deeply con
cerned, arc at stake, and be not
derelict, in your duty. Go to the polls
early, and do not come away without
polling a vote for the Workingman’s
ticket.
—— tototo-
jJSjF 3 What means all this “ hooboo”
which the rich people’s party arc
making about the salvation of the
city ? It means that they thirst for
power and place, and the spoils. The
strutters on the streets —the “but
ton-holers”—are to have an office.
That’s what’s the matter. Watch
them, workingmen! Watch them,
colored men!
——•-- • •
To Colored Men.—What justice
w ill the Democrats give you if they
arc elected to office? Remember the
Democrats turned men of your color
out of the Legislature, and though
they may now make fine promises to
you for the purpose of securing your
votes, not one will be carried out when
they get in office.
b-t’.’ Up and at them early to-day,
workingmen. Do not be intimidated.
Democrats will try to stare you out of
the performance of yiuir duty, but
fear not; be sure to vote the right
ticket.
The Algerine Law.—ln 1842, two
at least of the candidates on the pres
ent Democratic Ticket were Aider
men then. Their motto was: “None
but Property Holders must vote!”
•Citizens, workingmen, will you cast
your vote for men who upheld such
principles?
Ji*?’ The Workingman’s candidates
come from out of the bosom of the peo
ple. By dint of hard and honest
blows they have been gradually but
surely ascending the ladder of worth.
They know and appreciate the wants
of the people.
■ ♦to ————
Election Da y.—Polls open from
eight o’clock a. m., to five p. in., with
out intermission.
All bar-rooms arc required to be
closed, and the sale or giving away of
intoxicating drinks is prohibited
during the day.
Why should Mr. Blodgett be
elected Mayor of Augusta ? Because
the welfare of the poor and rich alike
demand it; because justice—even
handed justice will, by him, be meted
out to all; because he will manage
the city government economically.
Working Men !—Don’t forget that
you are called upon for your vote.
Let no one of you be recreant to your
duty. Victory will crown your efforts.
Rally to the polls, and vote in a solid
phalanx for the Workingman's Ticket.
fety- A novel sight—Seeing the
“all-respectable” “button-holing” ig
norant negroes (as the Ku-Klux organ
calls them) on the streets, begging
them for their votes.
Work Harmoniously.—Let Dem
ocrats and Republicans work together,
without any hard feelings. Agree to
disagree politically. “To the victors
belong the spoils.”
Vote to-day for the Working,
man’s Ticket, if you want to put into
office men who iriff be liberal to all
—proscriptive to none.
Free Trade.- -The Workingman’s
Party propose to abolish the whole
license system, thus giving every poor
person a, chance of making a living
without being taxed to death.
• •
What kind of people compose
the People’s Ticket ? Rich people
the cormorants of society.
Law, Peace and Order.—We
need not impress upon our citizens, of
all parties, the importance of abstain
ing from every act that may lead to a
breach of the peace. Yield implicit
obedience to die officers of the law,
and do nothing that may lead to dis
order and fighting. For the honor of
our good old city, we counsel law,
peace and order.
No Taxes on a Poon Man's Pitor
rrty.—-The Workingman’s Party are
in favor of exempting from taxation
the dwellings of the Mechanics, owned
by themselves. Remember this, work
ing men.
—■ - —♦— -
From Eight to Five.—Only nine
horn’s are allowed for voting at this
Municipal Election. Go to the polls
early, watch your chance, cast your
vote, and go right back to your work.

Mechanics and Laboring Mkn !
The result of the Municipal Election is
important to you. Don’t fail to cast
your votes for the Workingman’s
Ticket.

Remember!—That in supporting
the Workingman’s Ticket, you are
rendering the greatest service you
possibly could to your wives and dear
little children! Work!
Tote Fa ir.—Carpet-bag Democrats,
who don’t own a dollar’s worth of
property in the city are extra officious
in manipulating our local affairs.
Wonder where they were during the
late “so-called.” That’s all.
Women of Augusta! See to it
that no laggard sits down to dinner
on election day until he casts his vote
for the Workingman’s Ticket!
•■■ " ♦
Wives! Sisters! Daughters!
and Sweethearts! Say to those
whom you love, that if they love you,
they will vote the Workingman’s
Ticket,!
Don’t he Afraid.—The Working
man’s Party is in favor of every man,
white or black, voting as he pleases,
without any threat or intimidation
from cither party.
It Ain’t So.—The Democrats say
their ticket was gotten up without re
gard to party. If so, it is very strange
that none but straightout Democrats
are on said ticket.
Can We Do It?—Of course we
can, by several hundred majority.
There’s a good time coming, boys,
A good time coming;
There's a good time coming, boys,
Just work a little longer.
Whom Will You Trust?—Every
citizen is forced to entrust his interests
to the city authorities. Think of this
when you choose your ticket, and vote
for the Workingman’s Party.
The Workingman’s Ticket—ls
announced in the interests of law,
order, prosperity and equal rights un

Intimidating Voters. Any at

Let Us Have Peace.—Let every

Georgia.—One of the first ques
tions which will come before Congress
is, whether the Fourteenth Amend
ment has ever been legally ratified by
the Legislature of Georgia, so as to
convert the government of that State
from a provisional into a permanent
one, and to entitle its representatives
to seats in Congress. The amendment
was passed by a body, a large number
of whose members were disqualified
by the very terms of the amendment
itself from sitting iu any legislature;
! and, having passed it, these same dis
qualified members immediately voted
that thirty of those by whose votes
the amendment was passed had never
been lawful members of that body,
and, by reason of African blood, could
hold no office whatever in the State of
Georgia. If Congress respects the
terms of the Fourteenth Amendment
excluding perjured Rebels from hold
ing office, it cannot allow itself to be
bound by the votes of any of this
class. If it respects the vote of the
Georgia Legislature to the effect that
colored men cannot hold office in
Georgia, then it cannot count the
votes of the colored members for the
amendment; and so the amendment
would be lost. The State of Georgia
is not in the Union, and its govern
ment is merely provisional. In such
ease, Congress should see that the
State Constitution is amended so as to
confer equal political rights on both
races. Or if Congress holds that the
colored members were unlawfully ex
pelled, it should see that they are
lawfully restored to their seats before
the State shall be readmitted to its
share in the Government.— A r etc York
Tribune.

Editor National Republican—
Knowing the degraded political char
acter of the Chronicle and Sentinel,
and fearing they will not publish, as
they should, to-morrow, the following
coujmuuieation, I beg you will let it I
appear in your paper.
Editor Chronicle and Sentinel
Appreciating the political degrada
tion of your paper, it would not be
expected that any decent man would
notice any of your personal remarks,
yet as I value my reputation in this
community, and as I know you are
not a lighting man, L beg leave to sub

course you will publish.
Some time since it was considered
expedient to finish certain work upon
the Canal, commenced by Mr. W. E.

work, before the winter rains set in,
and Mr. W. V. Keener was sent to me
with a force of some fifteen or twenty
hands, to do that work. At Mr.
Keener’s personal request, I have
given orders to these men for provi

with the matter referred to, and, if
there has been any “official thieving,”

The Workingman's Candidate for
Mayor.
Mr. Editor :—This is the day fixed
for the municipal election; that is
enough for our purposes. 1 want to
ask what fair accusations can be
brought against our candidate for the
Chief Magistracy? Has not this cry
against him been raised all on account
of prejudice and bad heartedness, by
the very men who invariably selected
him for a leader in days past ? Can
did men must answer yes.
Mr. Blodgett is a native of Augusta,
and is the same to day he was twenty
years ago, when he was, by common
choice, the pink of perfection, in the
Ordinary’s office, in the Council Cham
ber, and’ in the Mayor’s chair.
His known patriotism, his great
love for his native city, his fine talents,
his urbane manners, his unexampled
devotion to duty, his friendship to the
poor and the unfortunate, his impar
tiality to all, made him an object o':
love among the masses. His former
political associates know and fear this,
therefore have they set about abusing
and vilifying him.
See what he has done for Augusta!
Search the records and you find him
amongst the foremost in all economi
cal expenditures looking to the im
provement and beautification of the
city. The Augusta Water Works
stauds as a proud monument to his
foresight and good sense.
He is not a partisan. He is not
narrow-minded. He is not wantingin
energy or ability, and the old people
and the middle-aged will vote to put
him where their interest demand he
should continue.
Nothing need be said about the
Councilmen. They are known by our
citizens, and they are respected, pre
judice aside, as honorable gentlemen—
men who will be sure to guard well
the affairs of the
