®|f Oailjr |nss. HENEY CLEVELAND, Editor. "he LARGEST CIRCULATION. FRIDAY MORNING -Marob 2, 1886 Loyalty. We have heard words “loyal” and “loyalty” so'much used of late, that we sometimes question whether we are in a Republic or a Monarchy, for we have always been accustomed to associate the words with ideas of kings, crowns, and thrones. But it seems to have as sumed a signification at last which makes it as applicable to the Democratic as the Aristocratic form of government, and people are “subjects,” after all, in one as much as in the other. These old fogy ideas about “liberty, equality and fraternity,” for which the French people wasted so much blood and thunder some years ago, have, to use a modern expres sion, “gone up the spout,” all over the broad dqmain of the earth ; .and that august personage, or personages—the Government—must be respected and obeyed, whether it be under the name of Emperor, King, or President. We do not pretend to say aught against this mighty change. We ouly note the fact. Perhaps, after all, it is best that it should be so. Those wild chimeras which we used to chase in the olden time, under the startling captions, “Popular Sovereignty 1” “The voice of the People is the Supreme Law 1” “Po litical and Legal Equality 1” were wont to charm our ears, and beguile us with phantasmagorias of Political Economy, which never had any real tangible shape —popular catch-words to elevate some political trickster into place,' that he might fatten upon the public spoils and grow rich upon the plunder which his office furnished. They had no real ex istence, and they did no real good. They led us into a war and have been whipped out of us. • The conceited coxcombery of our national vanity clipped, and our foolish boastings are humbled forever. We must now learn another lesson. We must now learn to know that political demagoguery does not constitute a na tion’s greatness; that there is virtue in other forms of government besides “ so called ” Republic, and that that govern ment ie the best which “ secures the greatest good to the greatest number.” We must learn all this, and, perhaps, more: and dearly have we paid for these useful lessons; but having learned it, let us heed it, and profit by it. To the government under which we live, and whose broad banner waves in triumph and in peace from the St. Lau rence to the Rio Grande, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, we have sworn allegiance. Let us give to it that more expressive form of loyalty—our fidelity. Faithful to the promises which we have taken—loyal, if you please, to “the mighty powers that be”—we must, at last, arouse the sense of justice and right in our conquerors, and, by our fidelity, extort from them those rights snd privileges which the Constitution guarantees to every section and to every citizen of the Union. Foreseeing these rights and privileges, enjoying such i rights as are guaranteed to us; es- I chewing the vain teachings of dema gogues and political charlatans, address ing ourselves to the development of onr resources, we may and must achieve a | degree of prosperity aud grandeur for our beloved South that will amply repay us for the humiliation and woe which has been heaped upon us in spite of our more than loyalty to the government, and fidelity to plighted faith, and accep tance of the status which has been de cided for us by the wager of battle. 2,000 LAMPS THE KEROSENE OIL & LAMP DEPOT, (under the planters! hotel,) AUGUS2A, GA.
