fe 'Diitljprn llrcntilf ■ 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. All for Greeley.—A Washington dispatch states upon authenticative in formation, that John C. Breckinridge, Gen.

Unite and safe the Constitution ford to endure, with the hope of future gratification of party spirit. We, of the South, are "killed ail the day long.” Peace, prosperity and the protection of law arejwhat we long for and strive for; not the mere gratification of paity-pref- erence. Success is a painted feather to them; to us, it is bread and meat and rest aud safety. We do uot admire their serene devotion to Jeffersonian 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, Democratic support, promising a certain victory, or Democratic opposition, men acing them with a contemptible defeat and insignificancy 1 Which? and the South. 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 Arm3.

[Great; COl I ON C, Sawyer H E K 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.

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 pose M Moo” moot earnestly, have been From tie N.

"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.” From the New York Tribune, Feb. 23, 1864.

Committees on resolu tions and contested seats were appointed 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. Committee on Permanent Organization reported tho name of Mr. Kiuseila for permanent President. v lr. Kiuseila, on taking the Chair permanently, remarked : It seemed that tbe Young Men’s party was coming to the front. He hoped they would keep its purity as unsullied as bad those great men who had gone before them. The committee on Contested Seats re ported in fav6r of the delegation from New York, headed by John Foy. The report was adopted. Mr. Clarkson N. Potter, from the Committee cn Resolutions made a re port. He said the committee had given the subject the moss careful and thorough consideration. The resolutions are as follows : "The Democratic party of the State of New York assembled in regular Cou vention to elect delegates to tbe Nation al Convention to be held in Baltimore to nominate candidates for President and Vice President, declare and resolve that we recognize tbe changes in the na ture and Constitution of tiie Govern ment which have taken place, and with out re opening questions of the past are now ready 'to co-operatc with those, whatever their previous party affiliations who favor limited and localized govern ments ; who seek to restrain the exc-r cise by Congress of absolute aud gen eral powers, to prevent its entering on private legislation,to restrain the growth ot vast corporations aud to work a per manent civil service reform ; and be it further Resolved, That the recent declara ion of political principles by tbe Conven tion of Cincinnati is evidence of a pro gress of public opinion toward sound, wholesome views of government, that we believe all patriotic citizens may unite on that platform tor the purpose of restoring an honest administration ot national affairs and enforcing the obliga tions of the Constitution, and our dele gates to Baltimore are instructed to take the course best calculated to secure the triumph of these principles and the se lection of any candidates representing them who shall meet the approval of the Democracy iu National Convention as sembled. The resolutions were adopted. Much discussion ensued on a resolu tion offered by Mr. Dayton, to the effect that a committee be appointed to select delegates to Baltimore. Tbe following were appointed a com mittee to select delegates to the Balii more convention : Jas. C. Spencer, Oli ver Charlick, Robt. Christie, Robt. Tur- rick—names, B. Oluey, John II.

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, "local government” ground, if we will join and help to beat down tbe central izing innovators. If wc refuse, be res pectfully declines to be ridiculously ground up, between the upper aud neth er mill-stone, to no purpose.

JOSIAS MARSHALL, R T.

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.

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.
