We are permitted lo publish the following letter from Col. Johnson by Muj. D. N. Speer, of ibis place. Col. J. is a son ol" Hon. II. V. John son, and a member eleet to the pres ent Legislature from Jefferson coun ty. In the main we endorse the views of Mr. Johnson ; but we do not agree with him in the views that Southern Democrats should remain quiet. We are in favor of the Southern Democracy claiming all the rights that belong to it as an in tegral part of the National Democ racy, and the right to say what and menls have been forced upon us without our consent. They are the offsprings of corruption, and of a spirit of insubordination to the Con stitution, that persisted in will lead to anarchy. What shall we do? To boldly as s' rt and stubbornly adhere, at all times and under all circumstances to the truth, is honest and sincere but it is sometimes unwise and im polite. We are weak. We want assistance. We want relief from those burdensome measures and up pressive measures which our unre lenting enemies have fastened upon us in a thousand different ways. It is useless to look for relief from our advocate what they conceive to be the proper piatlorm for the contest of tecble a ud unaided struggles. 1S72 : * I he only hope is in making common ALSO SWISS OVERSKIRTS, CORSET COVERS, ALSO A COMPLETE ASSORTMENT DRESSING SKIRTS, PIQUE WRAPPERS, OF Ladies’ Undergarments. W- A- HOPSON <fc .C0-, 41 Second St, 20 Triansnlar Block. Macon, Ga. Ba’c. Feb. 14,1871 tf Bartow, Jefferson Co., Ga., \ July 2o, 1871. ) Major D. X. Speer, La Orange, Ga.: Dear Sir:—Your letter, addres sed from the S.t» Nicholas Hotel, New York, came duly to hand.— You asked me to give you the politi cal news in Georgia. It is a diffi cult task to give the true condition of political affairs in this State.— The Democratic party seems to be divided into two factions, each equal ly patriotic and honest, and seeking to accomplish the same result—the overthrow of Radical power and the restoration of the Government to Constitutional principles. This schism in our ranks will, I fear, prove disastrous in its consequences. The party, weak before, is weaker now. United, there was little hope of victory ; divided there is none. It is of the highest importance that we should present to the enemy an unbroken front. Our columns should be marshaled in solid ohalanx and hurled, with a determination to suc ceed, upon those who rule. Let us first gain the victory and then we can dictate terms, looking toward the recognition of every tight. It is unnecessary to disclose our plans to the enemy or capitulate before the battle. It is sufficient to know that those in power have trampled under foot the Constitution ol our fathers, and denied to us the right of self- government. It is the duly ot every man who loves liberty, to unite in the overthrow of this common en emy. I have said that there are two fac tions in Georgia, and in fact through out the South, equally honest, equal ly patriotic, and seeking the same noble end—the subjugation of Rad icalism. One parly, led by Mr. Stephens, one of the purest men and ablest of statesmen, proposes to stand by the issues set forth in the Democratic platform- adopted in New York, in ISG9, upon which the Democratic party, North and South, entered the Presidential contest.— Those issues were adherence to principle—time-honored principles, that the leaders of all parlies in the purer days ol the Republic, admit ted and thought it treason to dispute, and which have been subverted by the so-called XIV and X\ amend ments to the Constitution. It is true, that the piatlorm adopted in 1SGS, de clared those amendments “unconsti tutional,” and therefore null and void. It is also true that Mr. Vallandig- ham, and those who are termed “new departurists,” endorsed that plat form. It is further true that a large class of honest and patriotic men who denounced the XIV and XV amendments in the last Presidential contest, propose to acquiesce and accept them now as legal parts of the Constitution. We cannot ac cept an amendment to the Constitu tion as valid while we are conscious of its unconstitutionality, and of the fraudulent and illegal manner of its procurement. We cannot accept a lie as the truth. It is a moral impos sibility to convert the one into the other. When we assert that the XIV and XV amendments are legal parts of the Constitution, we assert that which we know to be false. If we acquiesce and accept them as Constitutional, we acquiesce and ac cept a falsehood. It is urged by some that they must be accepted as binding and Constitutional until set tled to the contrary by the Courts. They are binding and must be adju dicated. So is the law of any des pot binding upon bis subjects as cause with the Northern Democracy against the common enemy. We want victory. We must draw back those conservative Republicans, who deserted us in the last Presidential contest, frightened at the announce ment of principles which they re garded as sqinting towards the right ot secession and the surrender of the fruits of the war. The sacred cause of truth is fre quently injured by too suddenly an nouncing her principles. Men are not at all times in a state to receive trut'j ; prejudice must be removild ; passion allayed; ignorancedispelled, before the mind can receive truth in all her blazing glory. We would not depart from Constitutional trull), nor surrender one jot of our sove reign rights. They are dear to us. \\ e would cherish and preserve them, patiently and silently, un til a fitting time, when they should burst forth in the splendor of victory and reign supreme in Contituiioal majesty. The time has not arrived for the announcement of a strictly State rights platform, nor for the vindication of sovereign rights.— Victory must first be achieved. To accomplish that we must be united at home and join those we least dis trust at the North, when the decisive battle is fought. We cannot accept the Vallandigham platform. To do so would be to surrender every sov ereign right belonging to a Stale. To announce an “out and out” State rights platform, would drive luke warm friends into the Republican ranks, and widen the breach already begun among ourselves. Our true position is one of silence and inac tion. We will not force our views on those who claim to be Northern Democrats, nor will we accept theirs; but we will join them in the fight against those who have planted the banner of centralism within the sacred precincts of State sovereignty. Let the Vallandigham party meet in convention—draft a platform and nominate a candidate lor the Presi dency. We will have nothing to do with their platform or Convention, but will vote for the nominee as a choice of evils. Should the South send delegales to that Convention, they will be bound in honor to abide its action, or, in the event of the adoption of obnoxious measures, to withdraw from it. To withdraw would certainly elect the Radical nominee; lo remain would bind them to ‘‘accept the situation.” Ei ther result would be a terrible ca lamity. Silence and inaction on the part of the South will heal the breach, and the extreme measures of the Radical party w ill drive off the con servative element from their own ranks. Should we succeed and e- lect the Democratic candidate, while he may not come up lo our views in every particular, still, we venture to hope that his administration will be more moderate than Grant’s has been. It will be one step gained in the right direction. We may then begin to claim our constitutional rights. The restoration of the Gov ernment to a constitutional basis may then commence. That resto ration will necessarily be slow in its progress. The subversion of the Constitution can be accomplished in a moment’s time. The passage of a law, like the Ku-Klux Bill, can change, as it has done, our whole form of Government into the mean est of despotisms. It is an easy task to destroy a Government. It is exceedingly difficult to re-organize it upon just and equitable principles. in view of the surrounding circum stances, is to remain silent and inac tive until the day of battle; on that day let us join any parly that pro poses to fight and conquer the min ions in power who have wrested from us the dearest rights of free men. Yours truly, WINDER P. JOHNSON. A Beautiful Extract.—“Gen eration after generation,” says a fine writer, “have felt as we feel now and their lives were as active as our own. They passed away like a vapor while Nature wore the same aspect of beauty as when her Crea tor commanded her to be. The heavens shall be as bright over our graves as they are now around our paths. The world will have the same at tractions tor our offspring yet un born, that she once had for our selves, and that she now has for our children. Yet a little while and all will have happened. The throbbing heart will be stilled, and we shall be at re L. Our funeral will wnd its way, and the prayers will be said, and our friends will all return, and we shall be left behind in silence and darkness for the worm. And it may be for a short time we shall be spok en of, but the things of life will creep n and our names will soon be for gotten. Days will continue to move on, and laughter and song will be heard in the room in which he died ; and the eye that mourned for us will be dried and glistened with joy; and even our children will cease to think of us, and will not remember to lisp our names.

The greatest effort that we private. Those obnoxious amend- of the South are called on to make, “Whisky has Used Him Up.”— There is scarcely a community or neighborhood from Maine to Oregon where this saying is not used almost every day in the year, and altogeth er too truly. A subject of this kiffd is to be found in almost every town. The merchant has failed and whis ky has done it. The lawyer with a bril/iant talent and a large business has fallen below the range of re spectability and confidence; whisky was the cause. The politician with bright prospects before him has played out, and the account is charged to whisky. The judge of talent, age and respectibility, is the subject of private and neighborhood talk. His enemies point with deris ion, and his friends hang their heads in shame, and whisky has done it. That kind-hearted neighbor and hard-working man has become a pest to society and trouble to his family. Whisky has beat him.— Whisky will beat any man living and that is just what it is made for A Good Joke on Editors.—Soon afier Chief Justice Chase (then a whig) assumed ihe gubernatorial chair in Ohio, he issued his proclama tion appointing a thanksgiving day. To make sure of being orthodox, 'he Governor composed his procla mation almost exclusively of passa ges from the Bible, which he did not designate as quotations, presuming i hat every one would recognize them and admire the words as well as his taste in their selection. The proclamation meeting the eyes of a democratic editor, he pounced at once upon it—declaring he had read it befoie—could not say exactly where—but he would take his oath that it was downright plagiarism from beginning to end. That would have been a pretty fair joke; but the next day the whig editor came out valiantly in defence of the Gov ernor, pronounced the charge false and liblellous, and challenged any man living to produce one single line of the proclamation that ever had appeared in print before.—Columbus Statesman. A pious negro woman was once caught by her master stealing a goose, and the next Sunday partook of the communion, after which the master accosted her as follows : “Why, Hannah, I saw you to-day at the communion table.” “Yes tank de Lord, massa, I was ’lowed to be dar wid de rest of His family.” “But, Hannah, I was surprised to see you there,” he said. “How is it about the goose ?” She looked a little surprised, as if she did not understand the question, but catching the meaning exclaimed: “Why, sah, do you tink I’se a gwine lo let an old goose stand atween me and my Maker ?” A colored man was arraigned be fore one ot the Camden courts a short time since charged with the larceny of some wood. When call ed on to plead to the indictment, he said ; “I bought the wood, and dal I know I did; but lo save my soul from the gallis, cannot tell the man I bought it of, kase I bought it in the dark. I guess I’ll plead guilty,’*
