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 der the law to all men. -•♦ • Intimidating Voters. Any at tempt to intimidate voters will be promptly checked by the arrest of the persons offending. No Skulking.—Let no man skulk at home or go fishing or hunting in the country, or play sick, till the elec tion is over. Let Us Have Peace.—Let every friend of law and order use all his in fluence and exert all his power to pre serve the peace at the election. • -*- • No Interference.—Let every man, white or colored, vote as they choose, without anybody’s interference, and all will be well. Voters.—lt is important that peace should be preserved, to-day, but the responsibility is on that party which first breaks the law. \ Tiie Wokkingman’s Party’s motto: “ Justice nud security to all, white or colored.” .w, 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. —A gentleman, who owns a country seat, nearly lost his wife, who fell into a river which flows through his estate. He announced the narrow escape to his friends, expecting their congratu lations. One of them—an old bache lor- wrote as follows: “1 always told you that river was too shallow/’ Kommnnications. The Chronicle and Sentinel. 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 mit the following statement, which of course you will publish. Some time since it was considered expedient to finish certain work upon the Canal, commenced by Mr. W. E. Jackson, while he had control of that 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 sions. This is all T have had to do with the matter referred to, and, if there has been any “official thieving,” your man Charles Welsh and yourself were no doubt “ fixed up” for the purpose. Yours, etc., William Phillips, Engineer A. C. December 1, 1868. 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 “Once more to the breach,, dear friends; once more to the breach.’’ December 1, 1868.
