MILLEDQEVILLE
TUESDAY. MAY 21, 1872.
Our Paper
This week contains a disproportionate
quantity of political reading. Our apol
ogy (so-called) is that the “seed time”
is rapidly drawing to a close. As we
‘‘soar, so shall we reap also.” After tbc
Baltimore Convention acts, it will only
remain for us to cast, for Georgia, a sol
id majority of 75,000, for the candidate
there recommended. The discussion
must precede action. The masses seem
to lead the politicians now, which is be
coming and a good omen. Let them
speak out. We speak for ourself only?
but ever persuaded.that the voters here
abouts are generally of the same mind.
Let Baltimore be instructed by a free
expression of the popular judgment and
will.
The Golden Opportunity.
The iuterest of the South in the Fed
oral Government is peculiar. Sisters
and lawful equals in a great confedera
tion, our standing is altogether unique.
The Northern States stand erect, and
wanton, even in the very excess of un-
precedeuted material prosperity. The
establishment of false principles of ad
ministration threatens their distant fu
ture, only. The South is prostrate in
augmenting ruin. Misgoverumeut has
bound her in the dupt and palsies her
every effort for recuperation. Whilst
correct principle promises well for the
future peace of the North, it is absolute
ly essential to make present political
existence tolerable to us. They have
.margin, perhaps, to gratify their favor
itism, whether for person, or party, or
political theory; we have nothing left
but to strive for life itself. One single
purpose prompts the effort, inspires the
philosophy and fires the heart of every
Southern patriot—to re-hahilitate the
South ; to strike the shackles from her
beautiful limbs; to raise the tyrant’s
heel from her beautiful neck. We wish to
sec her rise again, in her peerless ma
jesty, the “ pride and wonder of
earth.” The rich gifts of nature and
her unequalled genius assure her of the
foremost place ia the civilization of the
future, to the full fruition of which, Fed
eral tyranny is the chief impediment.
How this may be removed is the vital
•nqniry. The exigencies of parties
North have furnished the opportunity—
the golden opportunity. How shall we
redeem it, appropriate it, confirm and
make it permanent 1
“They would not let us govern our
selves out of the Union ; let ns govern
them t« the Union.” This is an aspira
tion worthy of our people, and altogeth
er feasible.
The Roman ambassador replied to
the vanquished Cartbagenians, who of
fered securities for future peace, “This
is the security I demand for my coun
try, that you shall not be able to injure
her”
Experience shows the folly of a pas
sive trust in the mercy of the North
To provoke it by antagonisms, and then
trust to it, is insane indeed.
Reference to the article on our first
page will show that the total Electoral
vote of the Uuion is 357, of which the
South (excluding Sooth Carolina) has
137. Of these, the Southern whites
certainly control 103. Is it possible so
to wield that vote as to control the elec
tion of President}
Some years before the war, the Abo
lition Party, without an electoral vote,
by holding itself independent, and cast
ing its Weight, as its interest required,
with one or the other of the great con-,
tending parties, succeeded in achieving
the "balance of power” and ultimately
seized upon the Government. Divide
et imp'era, the Metternichian maxim
solved the problem, and will solve it
again in Southern hands, with even bet
ter results,,tor we have much larger
means.
Undoubtedly the first and essential
step is to induce a comparatively equal
division of parties at the North. Prior
to the late Liberal move, the status of
Parties there did not present the condi
tion required. The Democratic Paity
could not rely upon a single vote in the
Colleges, except perhaps the three of
Orrgou. It was tried, condemned, cast
out and detested by the masses. For
the South to weld itself to such a party,
were to become part and parcel of a dead
body, foul with the stench and stigma of
disunion, hateful to Northern nostrils,
doomed to perpetual minority, powerless
for tba needed deliveranoe. But the
Liberal move hat been made, and with
out our intervention. Its avowed prin
ciples £re acceptable to liberal minded
patriots. A name only divides them
f r oia Northern Democrats. Let that
“withered skin” be discarded and the
Party (so far as principle makes party)
may come forth from we kness to strength.
At any rate, there is a new division of
parties, of nearly equal strength, in the
Electoral Colleges. The conditions for
the "balance of power’’ do now exist,
and it is for the South to foster those
conditions and use them for her own
aggrandizement, or reject them to her
ruin. And what is the compensation
sought, for this needless peril ? Has the
war so developed our sectional love,
that we look for better Northern friends
than Stephen A. Douglass, whom we re
jected in 1S60? Surely notin a Gener
al who staked his life on our subjuga
tion. Really, tbe situation presents no
affirmative attraction, in any quarter, to
the Southerner. Repulsion from Milita
ry Centralism is the great and proper
motive to action,—how shall we escape
the "body of this death,” the great en
quiry. Divide the North, control "the
balanceand govern the country. The
Southern Statesmanship that shall re
unite the Notth as against the jSoutb
will prove the direst curse in her monrn
ful annals. "The Lord hath delivered
them into our hands.” Let not our fol
ly cast away the golden opportunity.
Calculate the Chances.
If we nominate a "straight ticket,” it
will carry all the South nearly and lose
all the North. The results will be, first
we will be thoroughly sectionalized, as
a minority and suffer the discrimination
of an adverse, if not even a hostile, Gov
ernment. 2d. Grant’s election will be
assured, and imperialism, under the chief
tainship of an enemy will probably be
consummated, before another chance for
redemption. Why will not oar ticket
be elected T Our own prejudices should
answer. Southern prejudice in favor of
Democracy is not so strong as Northern
prejudice against it. If we can’t dia
card it, to save our own S>uth, will they
accept it for that purpose / Theu their
magnanimity greatly exceeds our pafcri
otism. We do not so read their char
acter.
But suppose, by a scratch, we should
get some few votes in the Northern eol
leges, the election would go into the
present Congress, where Grant’s major!
ty is assured. Or if by a greater scratch
we should even get a majority of all the
colleges, the experience of 1868, shows
that the Congress would not hesitate to
throw out votes enough to change the
result. Ia such a contingency, could
we force our man in ? That were to ars
. , * . .
ray section against section again, when
we are infiuitely less prepared for it
But suppose our ticket elected aud re
cognized even, the result would be scarce
)y less unhappy. With a large adveree
majority in both branches of Congress
and the Republican party re-united for
ensuing electious, our triumph would be
fruitless and short-lived.
On the other hand, if we can make
the breach in the Republican party pern
manent, unite the Liberals and North
ern Democrats and ally ourselves with
them, we assure a victory', so overwhelm
ing as to preclude a miscount in Con
gress, secure a majority shortly in that
department, remove disabilities from
our people, banish the military opprea
sions aud other uujust discriminations
that prey on our natioual prosperity, in
troduce our statesmen into the Cabinet
and councils, assauge the sectional jesK
ousies, that impede our growth—in
word, we will escape from every fetter
thit restrains our freedom, and our sun
ny land, clad iu all her privileges and
immunities, will resume her place in the
rank of nations. If, with all the great
gifts of nature, so lavishly bestowed, ahe
fails to lead tbe head of the eolumn,
it will be cbargable to her want of genius
only.

“Protection” or ‘Tree Trade.”
Some of our contemporaries are griev
ously exercised, for that the Cincinnati
platfoim "remits” this subject to the
people "in Congress assembled.” That
is just where the Constitution remits it.
As an issue, it is a humbug, any how.
For eighty odd years "protection” has
been the uniform policy of the Govern
ment, under every shade of party ad-
ministraiioD. If "free trade” was re*
jected when the Government did not owe
a dollar, what possible chance for it,
with the present immense debt! The
raising a revenue, by imposts, necessari
ly involves protection. Who wishes thst
vast sum collected by direct taxation—
the alternative mode ? Besides, when
the Agricultural interest, in ante helium
days, was of necessity, our all absorbing
interest, protection was more objection
able to tbe South. (We ran a free-trade
paper and a free-trade candidate fir
Congress, too, in those days, but the
Democrats beat him.) Now we should
enter upon the same line, and out-Herod
Herod, and we will in time, through the
blessings of Providence and the tariff.
At any rate, the trifle is not worth four
more years of subjection to Grant.

humbuggery, (that Jefferson never heard
of) whilst their Southern allies shiver,
hungry, in the cold. Let’s try another
tack. That is "hard tack.”
“I Curtailed Appendage la Re united Re
publicans.”
Such is the de*scriptiou John Forsyth
of the Mobile Register applies to the
Democratic Party, in case the feud in
the Republican Party should bc*l, after
tbe Democracy shall have endorsed the
Liberals. As the hypothesis is in the
future, and the spirit of prophecy has
been withdrawn from earth, we cannot
deny its possibility, or that of auy other
political fact, indeed. We mean to be
conteut with probabilities as to the fu
ture in this lower world. Is that re
union of the Republicans at all proba
ble, iu the contingency named? When
J F. would deduce an argument for the
success of a "straight ticket,” he has no
difficulty in saying:
"But I do not see how tho two
wings eau re-unite. Like all civil wars
and domestic feuds, the quarrel is deep,
bitter, aud to the knife.”
But he sees it very plainly, when coa
lition Democrats wish to draw a conclu
sion from the same assumption. In all
candor, which contingency will be most
apt to drive tbe Liberals to the Radicals,

victory, or Democratic opposition, men
acing them with a contemptible defeat

THE NEREID. This is a highly entertain
ing novelette, by a Georgia lady, under the
none de plume of Mary Faith Floyd. It is
published in neat form by J W Burke Sc, Co.,
of Macon, in this State. Price 50 ceuts.
Mary Faith Floyd is already exten-
sensively known lo all readers in litera
ry circles—in the Southern States at
least—as one of the most classic writers
of the times.
Heretofore her chief essays have been
directed to Reviews and critical notices
of the productions of others. It is in
this field she has, by her great good
taste and just discrimination, attained
that merited distinction which she en
joys-
The Nereid, we believe, is her first
attempt at anjthing in the form of a
Book of her own. In it she has exhib
ited all her peculiarities of purity of style
and ebasteness of diction, accompanied
with the most eunobling thoughts and
sentiments.
The general scope aud design of this
book may also be very clearly under
stood, from the first lines of the Preface
In these she informs tbe public that the
author’s objeef was to present " a picture
of life on the Atlantic seaboard of the
Southern United States,” anterior to tho
late war.
While the “ author” gives us these
pictures under the appa.e.t “nomc de
plume," as we have said, of Mary Faith
Floyd, yet there is. after all, uot much
fiction in this ; for wo believe it is gen
erally known (hat the writer is Mrs.
Mary Faith Floyd McAdoo, wife of Col.
W. G. McAdoo, who is himself not un
known in the “ republic of letters.”
Mary Faith Floyd is the full maiden
name of the author of the “Nereid.’ She
is a regular descendant of those Floyds
oi the set coast of Georgia who have
for nearly a century so signally illus
trated the character of the State in the
field of Art, as well as in the arena of

The Milledgcville Recorder, which
has recently said some pretty severe
things of Gov. Smith, has this in its last
issue: "The looks and manner of talk
of the Governor are calculated to iu-.
spire confidence aud more. Evidently
he is an old Roman—staunch, earnest,
honest, capable. We hope the people
will honor themselves by reseating him.
without a suggestion ot dissent, even.”
[Savannah News.
If any "pretty gevero things” of the
Governor, or anything inconsistent with
the extract above, has appeared in the
Recorder, it has certainly escaped our
observation. The general impression
about here has constantly Lecn, that we
were "agio the sore heads,” who con
demn the State Administration. From
a single act of the Governor’s, we dis
sented, as a matter jof judgment. Far
ther, we believe Baldwin county largely
prefers J. M. Smith to any other man,
as nominee for Governor, next fall.
Please do not class us as a "sore head.”
Growth of Florida.—A Cheat.
"Thecensus of 1S70 shows an increase
of population of Florida, of 47.324, or
33.69 per cent., whilst iu Alabama, it
was 3.40 per cent.; Georgia, 11.97 per
e^nt.; Mississippi, 4.63 per cent.; Tex
as, 35.48 per ceut,” Ac. This state
ment is generally circulated. We were
resident of East Florida in 1870, and
know something of the manner of taking
thit census. Premising then, that tbe
salary of the Commissioner was some
what apportioned to the numbers re
ported—a Carpet Bagger, of Gainesville,
had tbe taking of several counties in
Southern Florida. He stayed iu his of
fice and manufactured a population, by
name, out of his fertile imagination, for
those five counties, with a little clue, by
correspondence, to begin with. For in
stance, having finished up one of those
counties and aggregated the population,
he found that a few score more of names
would raise it to another grade, and in
crease the pay, he instructed his clerk
to “add a daughter, Josephine, to each
family in the county,” and it was done.
The South vs- the Democratic Party.
The " obligation of tbe South to the
Democratic party” is freely cited as a
reason for a straight nomination at Bal
timore. It is an utter fallacy. The
Democratic Party owes all to the South.
The South gave it all its houors, victo
ries and prestige. Whatever service
the party has rendered tho South, has
been many times repaid. The work,
the votes, the brains have been furnish
ed by the South—the honors and prof
its, in great measure, reaped by Northern
Democrats. If Pennsylvania Democrats
insist upon a policy, that presents the
alternative of honors to Pennsylvania, or
ruin to the South, with the scales strong
ly inclining to the latter, it is an ungrate
ful return for past favors. There is no
issue of principle with the Liberals.—
Relieve our distress,” is the great ne
cessity.
That other party cry " Free Trade”
is as full of delusion. From the day
that the first Democratic Convention i
nominated Martin Van Bureu for Presi
dent, to the present, the Democratic
Party has never been for "Free Trade.”
The Pennsylvania Democrats, who op

Peaceable Secession.
What Ilorrce Greeley Thought of it Be
fore and During the War.
"If the cotton States shall become
satisfied that they can do better out of
the Union than in it, we insist in letting
them go in peace. The right to secede
may be a revolutionary oue, but it exist*
nevertheless. * * * We must ever
resist the right of any State to remain
in the Union and uuliify and defy tbe
laws thereof.
"To withdraw from the Union is quite
another matter; and whenever a con
siderable section of our Uuion shall de
liberately resolve to go out, we shall re
sist all coercive measures to keep them
in it. We hope never to live iu a Re
public where one 6ectiou is pinned to an
other by bayonets.”
From the N. Y. Tribune of Nov. 28, 1859
"If the cotton States unitedly and
earnestly wish to withdraw peacefully
from the Union, we thiuk they should be
allowed to do so. Any attempt to com
pel them by force to remaiu would be
contraiy to the principles enunciated in
the immortal Declaration of Independ
ence, contrary to the fundamental ideas
on which human liberty is based.”
From the New York Tribuue, Dec. 17,1859.
"If it (the Declaration of Independ
ence) justified tbe secession from the
British empire of three millions of colo
nists in ] 776, we do not see why it would
uot justify the secession of five millions
of Southrons from the Federal Union iu
1S61 If we are mistaken ou this point,
why does not some one attempt to show
wherein and why ? For our own part,
while we deny the right of slaveholders
to hold slaves against the will of the lat
ter, we cannot see how twenty millions
of people can rightfully bold ten, or ev
en five, in a detested Uuion with them
by military force.”

"We have repeatedly said, and we , uty Marshal, in &outh Carolina, and who,
once more insist, that the great princi-
pie embodied by Jefferson in the Decla
ration of Independence, that govern
ments derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed, is sound and
just, and that if the slave States, the cot
ton States, or the Gulf States only
choose to form an independent nation,
they have a clear, moral right to do so.
* * * Whenever it shall be clear
that the great body of the Southern peo
ple have become conclusively alienated

Constitution, are bonnd to fight the bat
tles of the rebellion over again, no mat

prove Greeley a rebel, and have him
tried for treason or confined in Fort La
fayette, they have republished bis Mc-

Tribune of September 26,1862, in which
he said:
"But I still insist that, if it had been
proved that the people of tbe slave States

and the convention adjourned till three
o'clock.
Ou reassembling Mr. Farnell moved
that tlie delegates should be appointed
by the Congressional district delegations,
which, after discussion, was lost—53 to
64, the majority representing the friends
of the unit system.

v lr. Kiuseila, on taking the Chair
permanently, remarked : It seemed that
tbe Young Men’s party was coming to

its purity as unsullied as bad those great
men who had gone before them.
The committee on Contested Seats re

Mr. Clarkson N. Potter, from the

The Casa of Young Hancock.
Young Hancock, who was arrested
in Atlanta some days ago, on a forged
Federal warrant from South Carolina,
discharged by Judge Cowart, of the
City Court,’ and rc-arre.sted under the
same warrant, was brought before Judge
Erskiue by a writ of habeas corpus, and
again discharged. The arrest was made
by the notorious ‘Chap’ Norris, of War
ren county, who bad been deputised by
United States Marshal Smyth for the
occasion. Tbe warrant was brought to
Germain to which, we quote from the
conclusion oi an article in the 'lWlunc :
"For tlie6e and kindred reasons, we
are morally certain'that the Liberai Re
publicans will maintain am] extend their
organization, tip!;obi their banner, and
support their candidates to the end, un
less the Democrats shall see fit to drive
them off the course—which they are not
likely to do.”
A portion of the Democratic Press is
disgruntled, quite resentfully, at this.
Mr. Greely proposes to sunder the Re
publican Party, by leading a large pait
of it to our Democratic, State Rights,

their attendants, tbe merits of prepara
tions for the hair are freely canvassed,
and the latest result of this discussion
seems to be the almost universal adop
tion of Lyon’s Katiiairon as an article
better adapted to promote tbe growth
and beauty of tbe “Chief Glory of Wo
man” than any oiher at pre-ent before
the world. They say - that without irri
tating the skin of the head it eradicates
dandruff, and that it penetrates below
the surface to the roots of the hair, en
dowing them with new life and vigor.
The Cause of Temperance finds some of
its most insidious and dangerous foes in
the many so-called "tonics,” and "appe
tizers,” made of cheap whisky and refuse
liquors, finished up to suit depraved ap
petites, under the name of medicines.

Montgomery Blair writes a letter from
wbich we extract the following:
"Now there certainly can be no great
er departure from principle in support
ing Greeley than there would be iu sup
porting Davis or Adams, or any other
Radical. There can be, in fact, no mo
tive assigued for tbe support of oue of
these meo, and tbe refusal to support
either of the others, but mere personal
preference. This is not statesmanship;
it is mere caprice, if not something
worse, which men can indulge in without
the loss of public confidence. For my
own part, I go for the movement initiat
ed at Cincinnati to arrest the further
progress of Radicalism. It is the only
practical way of arresting.”
little authority as in the present case
under Akerman’s infamous Ku-Klux
law. Tbe name of Hancock, it now ap
pears, was inserted in the warrant by
some unauthorized person; in other
words, was forged; and consequently
Hendricks is now under arrest for false
imprisonment, and will have a prelimin
ary examination soon. United States
Attorney Farrow, was present when the
second arrest was made, aud ordered it
made; and hence it is not improbable
that he and others will be called upon to
justify their conduct.
While these proceedings were going
on, a sheriff appeared upon the ground
and arrested the aforesaid ‘Chap’ Nor
ris, under an iudictmeut found in War-
reu Superior Court, charging him with
being accessory before the fact to the
crime of murder. He was taken to
Warrenton and put in jail.—Exchange.
Cheerful Information.—While the
Cincinnati Convention was in ses
sion Senator Stevenson, having bus
iness with Grant, called at the
White House.
“Senator,” said his Excellency,
“what are these fellows up to down
at Cincinnati?”
“My information is that they pro
pose to nominate a candidate for the
presidency,” replied the Senator,
with Spatlan frankness.
“I know; but do you think it will
amount to anything?”
“It will amount to just this much,”
replied the Senator; “if they nomi
nate a man there that the Demo
crats can support you had better be
gin lo pack up, lor you will have to
move.”
The President lit a fresh cigar.

How Wc Used to be Physicked.—Who
does not remember the time when sprint
purgation was considered indispensable
to summer health ? No matter for wry
faces, the inevitable salts and senna,
rhubarb, or calomel and jalap, must be
administered. These “spring medicines,”
the youngsters were told, were to keep
them bale and hearty during the sum
mer. We all know uow that this was a
falacy; that new vigor, not depletion, is
what is required at tbe commencement
of the summer solstice. As a prepara
tion for the enervating effects of op
pressive summer weather, a course of
Hostctter’s Stomach Bitters is highly
expedient. This famous vegetable prep
aration has three prominent properties:
It reuovates, purifies, and regulates all
the functions of the body. It is com
posed exclusively of pure vegetable pro
ductions, viz : the essential principle of
Monongalieia Rye, and the most effica
cious tonic and alterative roots, barks,
and gums known to medical botanists.
Hence, it is an absolutely safe medicine,
and no tincture of the Pharmacopoeia can
compare with it either in purity, or iu
the variety of its objects, and its com
prehensive results. Happily for man
kind, the theory that it was necessary to
prostrate a patient in order to cute him.
is forever exploded, and tho true philo
sophical doctrine, that vigor is the great
antagonist of disease, has taken its place.
Hostettcr’s Bitters is an invigorant, and
hence it is the proper medicine for the
feeble at this most trying season of tho
year.
Be sure that you obtain the genuine
article, as there are innumerable vile im
itations in the market. Look to tbe or
namental stamp, the engraved label, and
tbe name blown into the glass. Hostet-
ter’s Stomach Ritters is sold in bottles
