We oommend the artioie to the careful perusal of earnest Democrats everywhere. Tho outrages of the Governor General of India—his robbery of the House of Oude, and his mercenary wars upon the RohlUas and Mahrattas were bnt misde meanors compared with the much higher crimes against the liberties of this conn- try, committed by the Holing Dynasty at Washington, in their moat wicked war against the Constitution of the United States, for the last five years—com mcnoed and carried on by them after the war of Secession was over; and after all of its re sults were folly accepted; which, by bayonets, the Government of the States of tho Foderal Union have been subverted and revolutionized, and tlie people in them corruptly robbed, by the instruments of Power and Usurpa tion, of not less, in the aggregate, than fivrty million. tf dollart of their snhstanoe! Hastings’ malfeasance of receiving four huumlrul thousand pounds sterling, for letting loose bis mercenary bands upon an unoffending people, shocked all Eng land. What was this compared with the iniquitous deeds of those who have com mttted wrongs so much more monstrous iu extent and character, all, too, confess edly "outside of tho Constitution?” A. H. S. Fn»Th» (WMliltoton Cltjrl Patriot, Jl.t Iloo.. IS7 Aaa K* latest Arraign mm t of the Cul prit# Ormaadcd. When, in 1788, Edmund Burke brought in Articles of impeachment AgeiuMt War ren Hasting*, Governor Gcueralof India, for high crimes and misdemeanor!*, he meant aomething. It was not, for him, im occoaion for an ornamental display of rhetoric, or an histrionic exhibition of spurious feeling. He was above any thing spurious at such a time. His own gri-utness, the greatness of his cause, the greatness even of tho accused, forbiule it. He rose os the cluumrion of the out raged rights of men, aud on the minds of all, nocuscrs and accused, ho left no doubt that he wus indeed the oliampion that he claimed to be. He had accusa tions of the most grave character to make, aud ho made them -made thorn in a manner worthy of himself and wor thy of the occasion; and as they than dered through the British Empire, with amazing eloquence aud power, there was ia all tile reuhn ud living soul that did nut feel, through oii tho crimson of his blood, that Mr. Burke wus profoundly in earnest. It is onr misfortune in this oonntry to lisve a worse than a llastiuga to deal with—a swarm of such—a hydra-headed criminal, compared with which Warrcu Hastings was su exemplary character. Wemoaujwe could weau nothing else, for H Is the worst thing that ever rose to emiueuoo on American soil,) that incar nation of wicked ness, the Radical party, which ia daily and systematically tread ing nnder its feet every cardinal prinoi pli dl a free, aud doily and syBtctuatio- ollv exalting iuto supremacy every cardi nal principle of a despotic, Government Even the worst that was charged against Warren Hustings, aud which brought around liia head tho accusing thunders of a Burke, were venial crimes in com parison with the aggravated assaults ruthlessly made by this, our Dostroyiug Angel, upon tiie very life-principle, em bedded iu our institutions, of those great trnths of enlightened Government, evolved from the couilict of ages, which have transformed barbaric into civilised P iles. England had her Hastings, he was not her worst) hut let it not be forgotten, she had her Burke too. II Hustings deserved at the bunds of the British people thu opprobrium of be ing, os he was charged, “the common enemr and oppressor of nil,” and the punishment due to such a character, how much more do our swarming Hostiugsos, who have so far outstripped him ui the darkest political iuiquitics, deserve at tho hands of tho American people a like opprobrium, immeasurably intensified, and a commensurate punishment ? Echo answers: How much more! How much more 1 But who—who are to be the prosecutors of these ravogers of the best that belongs to the best example's of civil {government, scorners of tho sacred her itage of politioal maxims which enlight ened thought, and bloody conflict aud time liavo won from det,i>otio sys tems and their defenders? Who are to lay bore, with manly words, with moving earnestness, with deep oonvio- ttonl, without paltriness or Mitering, with a stern sense of what it it to tramplo un der foot maxims so dearly bought, so \ deaflyf prized by soy people that is free, His full measure, with all their darkness and deformity, of the crimes committed by those combined Radical revolutionists? Certainly such • prosecution, such an ex posure Ahd the needed reform are not to be looked for at the hands of Uiefc oonfed- eratei end oo-ooDapirators. there i manifestly Wo possible hope in that di rection. It is not common for the tews less to reform each other, or for the . guilty te -hold the guilty up to oommon ooncioosuess people a just sense of the most grave 1 and startling offenses committed and j being committed against their liberties, : and by whom the offenses came*. I Disavowing any dispositiou to with- I hold any expression of approval thus f.»r i of the course of our representatives in Congress, we cannot help saying to them, especially in all earnestness, being im polled thereto by a strong, indignant sense of how, on the right hand uud on the left, the people are being robbed, not only of tiier substance, (for this, serious as it is, compared with the rest that is being sacrificed, is but of minor consequence,) but, one by one, of the very essentials of their freedom, and that the occasion is one that demands of them the full measure of their powers in hearty, indignant, downright, bitter denuncia tion of the monstrous usurpations, the flagrant wrongs against the people, the destroying, revolutionary proceedings, and the startling crimes, in many forms and in many fold, tending, if not de signed, to subvert the Government, which are perpetrated almost daily by the in solently r volntionary party, of w hich General Grant is the head, and the ma jority in Congress the month piece. If there ever was a time it is now when the representatives of the people, (of the nonest masses and sot the corrupt office holders,) having the true welfare of the people honestly and deeply at heart, should arraign the people's enemies and the destroyer* of their rights with vehe ment accusations, tear away vithout mercy the wvotched subterfuges employed by them to cover their enormities, and hold them up to that severe correction and condemnation, if not scorn, which they so greatly deserve. It is no time for measured opposition, for decorous disagreement, for faint-hearted charge, milTdissuasive*, j layful sally, whispered accusation; it is a time for thunder by the eloquent tribunes of tho people. The country should ring from end to end with the indignant voice of patriotic men, risen equal to tho emergency, calling the usurpers to account, and waking the peo ple—if, unhappily, they need waking— to the dangers that beset them. That these dangers exist, and iliat they ore threat ening to the last degree, no thoughtful and honest man can deny. That they should be pointed out to the people in all their magnitude and force, and with them be pointed out for the lash of jus tice the party and the men who have brought these dangers, with all their brood, grown and ungrown, upon us, is equally indisputable. Let it be done, with a deep sense of tlio obligations that rest upon patriotic men, the chosen guar dians of the oommon weal. A worse state of things could hardly exist; a bet ter hardly be hoped for without some such arraignment of the cri minals as we huve indicated. Let the arraignment bo made, the guilty brought to judgment, “ami where the offense is there let the the great axe fall.” — THE END APPROACHING. The Long Night of Political Darkness Vanishing Before the Brightness of the Coming Day. We congratulate the people of Geor gia and the entire country upon the pros pect before us. The end of the tyranny of carpet-bag rule aud robber baud su premacy in this State is rapidly approuch- ing. The same causes w hich are bring ing about this result are operating effect ually in tho entire Houth, uud, ere long, by peaceful means, wo shall be relieved from the grasp of the cormorant crew who have plundered and oppressed ns. Bullock lied from justice, and, ui wo predicted at the time, ho will come back when he can go nowhere else—such, at least, are tho indications. He tried hard to get Grant and tho Radical Faction to send him back with power in his hands and bayonets at his command. He want- ed to continue his j hindering* under bayo net protection, and tv crunk out all in re litiga tion of his conduct. He has utterly FAILED I Acting Governor Conley has put forth his might *o usurp tho Executive func tions for the remainder of Bullock’s term. Every effort was tried, and every influonco brought to boar, to preveut the people from holding an elec tion, and to invoke tho interference of Grant and his bayonets to uphold thu userpation. The Bond Ring exerted itself and did wlmt it could. Thefraudit- lent bonds constitute the last hope—the only means—by which ire ran be further plun dered by the cormorants; henco the groat importance to them of keepiug tho Exec utive Department and the Supremo Court iu Radical hands. No doubt the assist ance of bayonets in this work would lihve been given, but a point has been reached where tho Fodoral Government dared uot any further resort to such measures. It was prudeuee, aud a fear of the con sequences at the North, dnd uot from any sense of justice, desire to do light, or disposition to let us govern ourselves peaceably aud lawfully, that these wicked dcsigus were uot carried out by the help of military power. We learn that Mr. Conley will retire gracefully, most probably without another word of protest His captiousness so far has only mode him ridiculous. The ob ject in view is unattainable, and the hope of it has vanished! Blodgett failed to obtain a seat in the Senate. This would have been given him, utterly regardless of law, principle or justice, but the Radical Faction,though having tho power and tho inclination to do so, dared not! The usurpers are afraid to further pursue their usurpations. There is a weakening—a giving way— of the Radical party at every point. The proceedings in Congress dearly demon strate this. In (Georgia its bottom has dropped out, or, to change the figure, its book is broken. It is no more in the way, and will scarcely ever bo organized again. Even in the next Presidential it will make but a feeble,, sickly show. Let the people thank God, and take courage. Victory is within our grasp, if we will but put forth our hands aud seize Thi» i* thair office.

This is our last weekly issue for 1871. Our enterprise, taken hold of in May lust, has been, und«-r the circumstances, very successful. We have labored to make The Hen? a tree exponent of cor rect political principles, and an accepta ble family visitor. We Lave, with what ability we possess, exposed and denounced public plunder ers and the corruptions and fell designs of the Radical party, and shall continue to do so. Wo favor honesty and econ omy in the administration of the State and Federal Governments,, and relief from tlie burdens and tyranny under which tho whole country—North as well os South—have suffered at tlie hands of the profligate Radical crew who have, through violence oiul fraud and a recklcbs disregard of the laws of the land and their oaths, 4 usurped the reins of power; aud whose whole administra tion has been marked by a series of out rages upon Constitutional Liberty throughout the Union, aud the most op pressive bayonet rule iu tho Southern States. That day of high riot is drawing to a close, we earnestly hope and believe. We shall, in the future, pursue the same course as in tho past. We shall labor to secure an overwhelm ing triumph over the Centralists and Im perialists in the ecming Presidential election; and if the Democratic party will but be true to itself and the best in terests of the whole country, victory will perch high upon our banners, and the country will once more be the home of the free, rejoicing in restored Liberty and tho bright hope of a happy and prosperous career iu the future. We ask the friends of Liberty, of law, order, and good Government, everywhere, to aid us in extending our circulation, aud thus in the disseminution of correct political principles. Our Weekly is the largest and most handsomely printed iu the State, and is really tho cheapest ; while our club rates are very favorable. We invite attention to the same. There is scarcely a post office iu tho country where a club could Viot be made up, with very little effort on the part of one or two friends. Commence with the new year, ujid try us twelve months. M-4 Bullock’s Hand Exhibited. Eiiitors Daily Snn: I clip the follow ing New York telegram from a Western paper: Bank Examiner Callender. Nkw York, DftOftmbar 'JO, Evening.— It ia alleged that Hank Examiner Callender woe employed by the Portage Canal Company to negotiate loaua, and that he borrowed up * * “ • - - * ' * f 000,000, I * from tho Oconn Hank, agreeing to depoait os collat eral the securities he won about to take up irom the bauke. Thus tho PorUgo Company aaved from Portage Company. That with the other banka waa tho oauic. and 100,000 nominally of Uie Chicago Southern Illinoie Hatlrnad honda, and notra of A. Wild. L. Win. Avery, P. ti. Avery aud J. E. Conant, nmoiiutlug to ouo hundred thousand dollars. The two Averya arc tho President and Counsel of the Portage Company, aud, with Governor Unlloel. .. e hind to have been the company In tho Arm of 1 Oonaut ft Co., In Wail street. Wild is tho hauiu against whom a petition iu bankruptcy waa recently filed. Now I would like to know if the Averys aud Conant mentioned are tlie same parties who figured so conspicuous ly, a short time ago, in Georgia. W. L. Avery, I think, must bo the same indi vidual who promised, and agreed to pay Varney Gaskili $30,000 if he would se cure an immediate issue of the bonds in favor of tho Brunswick and Albany Rail road. Conant must be the same fellow, who had his office in the Capitol Build ing, and was connected iu some way us it contractor on both tho Brunswick and tho Cartersville Railroads as a member of the firm of J. Edwin Conant A Co. Aud it turns out if (ho statement made in this item be true, that Governor Bullock was a member of this delectable firm, whoso voracious maw has, doubt less, eugulohed Stale bonds, so-called, (is sued by our renegade Governor,) to the umoi.ut of millions. Perhaps Conant, the Averys anil Wild, f sent fn', and properly interrogated, might bo able to givo information, that would facilitate tho investigation of the committee appointed to ventilate the bond questiou. Tax Paybb. Note.—We havo been patiently wait ing-knowing that, sooner or later, Bul lock’s hand would be shown, and that the place where ho “dipped in,” would be pointed oat. This point has, so far, been well concealed. It lias been con jectured by many that ho had an interest in tlie Kimball House; by others that he had an interest in the State Road Lease. The first is improbable and tho other is emphatically and authoritatively denied. It will most likely turn out that he had an interest in the Bond Ring schemes, and of the swindling contracts which he assisted.—Eds. Sus. and, therefore, worthless. Quite a num ber of the bankers, dealers in stocks and moneyed men of Atlanta were on hand, and we think it not unlikely that some of the members of the Bond Ring were there—though we do not know. Under these circumstances the Bonds of the State payable in Gold, issued by Rufus II. Bullock, sold for less than the value of a very cheap song—showing that they are publicly esteemed as invalid, and not worth a ccLt. A banker of this city who was present, remarked that ho would not *give the value of the paper they were printed cn for them. As we said, we think it not improbable that some were present, who hold some of these illegal and fraudulent bonds, and are claiming their fall face from the State; yet, when they had an oppor tunity to boy five thousand dollars worth of them, could not be induced to bid over $G30 for them. If none of the holders of these bonds were present, some were iu the city, who mast have known of the sale, and if they had had any faith in these swindling bonds be ing a legal claim against the State, they would have been present, and would not have missed the opportunity to purchase $5000 of them for but little over one- tenth of that amount This shows tlie estimate which the Ring party place npon the value and va lidity of Bullock’s fraudulent issues of bonds. The truth is, they are worthless. They were issued for the purpose of defraud ing, in violation of the provisions of the Constita.ion and laws. Let the Legisla ture set them aside forever, on the ground ol their fraudulent character. [From the Greensboro, 0*., Herald, Dec. 21, 1871. Ex-Gov. Brown Speaks. It s«*ems a miserable carpet-bagger named Ike Seeley, lias issued a circular directed to tho negroes and urging them to resist the puyment of the poll tax. One of these he also directed to his per sonal aud political friend, Hon. Jos. E. Brown, which has called forth from that gentleman a very able and conclusive re ply, and frank and timely vindication of the Legislation of Georgia on this sub ject. We are gratified to see this letter, and regret that our space will uot per mit us to give it entire. The conclud ing paragraph is well pot, and should teach the Government at Washington a lesson of wisdom. He says : “The Republican party has been con stantly weakened, until it is almost de stroyed iu Georgia, by the repeated acts of Congress during the period of recon struction, prompted no doubt by unwise counselors professing to speak for the State, who cither misunderstood the true condition of things here, or willfully misrepresented it In either case the effect was the same. Congress has been misled and popular sentiment here has been outraged to au extent that has ren dered it impossible for the supporters of the Administration to stand before it with any-prospect of success, I think it is time unwise legislation should cease, and I protest against further enactments of the character contemplated by you, and others who assist you, iu your pro posed movement Tho wisest thing, ia my judgment, that Congress could do for Georgia, would be to conciliate her people and show them that it is the intention to deal justly aud liberally by them. If a gen eral act was passed sweeping from the statute book, the last vestige of political disability that rests upon any of her citizens, and she were lett as other States are to manage her own iuternul affairs, iu her own way, it would do more to restore peace, harmony, loyalty, and good gov ernment in the State than anything else that is now iu the power of tho Federal Government to do. Those Fraudulent State Bonds— Tueib Real Value Tested.—On Satur day last. Col. Geo. W. Adair sold at pub lic outcry, in this city, after advertising the same in the daily papers of tho city, five bonds of the State, i>ayable in gold, issued to tho Brunswick and Albany Rail road, in place of tho second mortgage bonds of that road, of the denomination of $1000 each—$5,000 in all. At tho same time he sold $15,000 worth of the Atlanta Ice Company’s atock, on which 50 per cent., or $7,000, bad been paid in. The whole amount obtained for the Ice stock and the State bonds was sir hun dred and thirty dollars—all told! The loo stock is valuable. The ready cash market value of that sold is con sidered to be at the very least $4,000, and the reason it did not bring more is that there was a foar of the validity of the transfer or title of the same. It bad passed through hands whose touoh was suspicious, and the fear of losing the stock after paying for it ] re vented mon eyed men from bidding for it Bnt the State bonds sold squarely on their real merits.
