The great importance of every voter being properly informed on the issues involved in the present canvass, can scarcely be overestimated. The result of their action at the polls must be felt by future generations. Never have such vast and lasting consequences been involved in the result of any election held in America. The plain question is presented to the peo ple between the government administered confessedly without regard to the Constitution, by the unlimited despotism of a sectional party of Radicals, as exemplified in their rule for the past eight years, and the Democratic style of administration in strict obedience to the supreme law, as it was administered from its organization to the a*’ -"-sion of the Radical** to power, in ItifiJ. Disguise the matter as demagogues may, this is the real issue. Those who think the absolute will of a mili tary dictator is better for the government of the people than the writtenjeonstitution of our fathers should manifest their sentiments by voting for the Radical candidates. All others should vote for Seymour and Blair, not only because of their clear personal records, but because they have pledged themselves to the principles of constitutional liberty, as avowed in the Democratic platform. But some, perhaps, unwilling to take toe trouble to investigate the real difference be tween the parties, may conclude there is as much corruption in one as the other and there fore they will not vote at all. However ex cusable this cause may be when adopted by the unthinking men of the North, it cannot he justified on the plea of ignorance, in this section where die effects of Radicalism have been so severely felt by all classes of our peo ple. It is only by their votes that the people are able to approve or disapprove the action of the party in power. lienee, there seems to be at least a culpable neglect of duty on the part of such as fail to vote at such a time us the present. In these remarks we have re ference more especially of course, to the white voters. But inasmuch as the white people of the State cannot be oppressed without the same oppression falling with increased weight on the impoverished freedmen. they should he instructed that their real interest is in com mon with their late masters who are now, as they always have been, the only real frieflds they have. Colored Legislators. The Legislature of Georgia has now before it the question as to whether the negroes now holding scats upon the floor of the House of Representatives have a right under the Con stitution of the State to hold office. The Com mittee, or rather, a minority of the committee on Privileges and Elections, have made a re port, taking the ground that a free person of nolor is ineligible. The House has laid the majority report on the table, and has further determined that the negroes, themselves, shall have no vote in the matter. The Radicals loosing over twenty negro votes on this ques tion, will throw them in the minority, even should they vote to a man to retain their col ored friends. But we are informed that a large number of the Radical party are in favor of the measure. This then, we think a fixed fact, that the negroes will no longer disgrace the House with their presence. As Bradley has gone, so will they all go. Their white allies have no further use for them. They have voted for the 14th Article, which denies to our best white citizens the right to hold of fice. They have voted for Senators and other Radical purposes—and now their Radical friends are willing to part with them—for the good of the country. A gentleman, whose office adjoined that of the Citizen, said he once knew Gen. Ilalpinc to enter the editorial room at five o’clock in the afternoon, commence writing vigorously, and continue through the night, being found hard at work when his neighbor came to un lock his own door at nine next morning. Ilis face was suffused with blood, every drop of which seemed to have found its way to his brain—his head was bound up with wet tow els, and the veins on his brow swollen to a fearful degree. When the next issue of his paper came out, with the exception of a few columns on the first page, the paper was filled with the articles of Gen. Ilalpinc. Poems, stories, essays, paragraphs, leader, editorials of all kinds were his own—the product mainly of those seventeen hours of continued la bor. fFram The Flu-tv,.bile A- fhniinel.] Letter From Hon- B H Hi!!. 1 an receiving quite a number of invitations to juldn. .s the people in Georgia and the iuN joining States. It would be agreeable tome if I could write an answer to each specific 'request. But 1 oarmot do so, and, under no circuit)stru. cep, contd I possibly attend one tenth t»r the meetings. I must, therefore. Leg the indulgence of our friends to receive this as the reply to such of their letters as 1 do not answer in person. Th c time ha» now arrived when no mar. who loves his country, or desires its pence anti prosperity, can withhold his support from the Democratic party. Whatever considera tions may have heretofore seemed to exist to induce or inelino any of our people to accept, as a temporary expedient, the Reconstruction measures, have certainly proved fallacious;— The plain, leading idea of the Chicago plat form is to maintain these odious measures it) the ten States as perpetual over the people and supreme over thc Constitution. The plainly avowed means of securing these ends consist in making, by Congressional action, States, and Southern w hites vassals to the Southern blacks. In view of these now de clared purposes of the Radical party, how for tunate it is that the Southern white voters did not aecejrt these measures ! If we had ac cepted, the'National Democracy would have been compelled to abide them,or subject the par ty to the severe charge of seeking to overturn what the qualified voters of the the Slates had agreed to and established, and, thereby, of promoting another revolution; whereas, as we rejected them, the Radicals are subjected to the truthful, but terrible, charge of seeking to perpetuate u|*on the white race of the South governments which have received no approval or support except from deceived negroes and worthless adventurers, and, thereby, of con tinuing a revolution which had no origin but in passion, which can have no existence but in strife, and no end but in blood? It is plain therefore, that all of our fellow-citizens who have been inclined to accept these measures from wiiat ever motive of policy , must now, in vindication of their own sincerity, abandon them, and join the party which nobly declares these ‘'usurpations, revolutionary, unconstitutional and void I" And no man will welcome to our ranks all such more cordi ally than myself, lor though I never had the slightest faith in the wisdom or practicability of the idea of accepting, with a view of rejecting what we accepted, yet I never question the motives of a sincere man who differs with me as to the best motives of accomplishing a grave end. Nor have I ever uttered n word, which, justly construed, can ever indicate the contra ry. Ido most heartily rejoice at the now manifest prospect of seeing every decent white man in the South united with us in the glo m*a work *if ililS iiiuin*strt>vk< inifjlli ty, its authors, advocates and supporters. So, again, let me say a word on the subject of Relief. I believe I can truly say there is not a man in the State who is, and ever has been, more anxious to see our people honora bly relieved of the heavy debts contracted on the lias is of negro property, or during the ex istence of negro slavery. Strict justice would equalize the burdens of a war waged for our common benefit mid maintained by our common consent. This one idea covers the whole ques tion. Upon that basis satisfactory results could have been worked out by true statesman ship. Why has it not been done ? Because dirty Radical enemies to all honesty and right, seized upon the word “Helief,'’ and made it mean repudiation and robbery. Relief, by moans of perjury to the Constitution and laws, never has been and never can be. possible.— That cannot relieve which criminates and de grades. And these infamous Radicals intended, from the beginning, to criminate and degrade, hut not to relieve our people. They made the promise of Relief in their wicked attempt to subvert the government of our State, with the distinct knowledge that the promise would rot he fulfilled. They intended, under the hope of Relief, to induce the people to vote to dis franchise intelligent white men and enfran chise ignoiant black men only that rogues might thereby get offices. So 1 warned the people in advance. Did not Ido right ? Have not results proven the truth of the warning? The Radical Congresss not only struck out this Radical false promise of Relief, but demanded that the very creatures who put it in should, by solemn acto: record, consent to the striking out! And the creatures, lost alike to every sense of shame and pride, solemnly consented ! llow comforting the reflection that such crea tures represented nobody but debated negroes ! No, no; my heart bleeds when 1 look upon ► the burdens and misfortunes of our people ! Property destroyed; .government denied; children buried ; in many cases strength ex hausted : hunger exacting, and hope almost dead ! Ido feel that it is thc highest duty of a wise statesmanship to provide every honora ble means of securing relief and re-inspirinir hope. But to see these very misfortunes of our people seized upon by dirty, Radical hypocrites, and used as a cover in an attempt to secure the consent of that very people to add degradation and dishonor to their misfor tunes, was too much to allow silence. I do sympathise with and would rescue the victims ; but I do most inexpressibly despise the wicked fiends who thus gamble with the misfortunes of a helpless, unarmed, hut noble people, for no purpose hut to degrade and to rob them.— And I have no faith in,' or respect for. unv man who does not despise tehm ns I do. I dismiss this subject by again warning our people that relief can never eoine through the Radical party. Through that party tliev can have negroes for law-givers; strangers for tax-gatherers; felons for judges, and office j traders for Governor : but ncycr. never relief 1 front burdens nor hope for anything good. I call upon all honest men who have been deceived by this cry of relief to manifest their j honesty by abandoning and despise thc crea- i turcs who deceived them, and who are utterly j 111 cap J !•; of aggeatin./ any tray of relief ex- 1 cept throuiji , orjury to the Constitution and laws, and through tlm degradation of virtue, tin elevation of vice, ajpl treachery to race. Tim defeat ami disgrace of Radicalism is the very first riidisjsuisable Step tq relief. I util this -top be taken no other is possible. M hen this one .step shall be token every other, which wi -e men can grant or honest men desiie, will he practicable. I shall do nil I can in this great struggle— perhaps the last peaceful struggle at the ballot box for liberty on the continent, and for civil isation and social excellence at the South. But I cannot make many more speeches here. Our white people do not need speeches. Thc very nature of the issues now presented, drives them together. No .Southern white man who desires to l>e respectable can afford to be a Radical. Every white man must speak to the blocks, and here is his speech ; If thc Democratic party shall bo wieccssfulj confidence will return ; harmony between the races will be restored; war and strife and di-cord will then certainly lie avoided ; capital and a better class of immigrants will come among us from the North; business will re. * i 1 j j «» imi rj w 111 U irVrntlCOj and we can afford to increase the wages of labor. It thc Radical party should succeed, the little confidence now remaining will lie destroyed; discord and strife between the races will in crease ; a war of races and a civil war will come sooner or later ; capital and better peo ple from the North will not eome among us ; carpet-baggers and thieves will multiply in numbers and increase insolence ; much of thc capital now here will be carried away ; the (trice of property will still further decline: the {products of industry will bo lessened, and la bor must still more decline in (trice. Every planter, merchant and business man can make this speech and feel and show its verily injiis very business. With the races acting together, peace is certain. With the races acting separately strife is equally certain. With carpet-baggers teaching the black race to hate the native white race, the extent of strife no man can foresee. Besides, we have good speaking talent on our Electoral ticket. Some of them 1 have heard in former times and know their ability. Three of them (Mr. Bacon, Muj. Gumming and Gen eral Dußose,) 1 have bear'd during this can vass, and 1 rejoice in being able to congratu late our State iu the possession of these young gentlemen who are so strong in argument and, at the same time, so elevated, iri senti ment, so excellent in character, and so full, of the promise of still increasing usefulness. Add to these the many great minds not on the ticket, but who are serving the people on the stump, and through the press, and I am sure the sup ply is ample. Very truly jours, B. 11. -Hill. Augusta, August 24tb, 1868. Coming Over. There is scarcely a Bemocrat in the country who cannot name one or more of his hitherto mongrel acquaintances, who are heartily ashamed of their party, and who are to vote in November for Seymour and Blair. We are daily gaining from the other side at a rate which will give us a tremendous majority in the aggregate vote of the country. Thq Pitts burg Post says, it can name eighty men who have hitherto voted against the Democracy, who will now vote with them. We, ourselves, can cite at least half that number. Every sin gle vote thus brought over, makes a count of two on our side ; and herein lies the secret of the great and Staggering results which arc to appal the miserable vagabonds who have so long been a nuisance to this afflicted people'. When every individual I> ■mocrat can name one or more of the other side who .have re pented of their huge crimes, and are willing to endeavor to undo the mischief they have aided to hatch, and when not a man of that miserable horde can give the name of a single Democrat who is an apostate to his party in this present crisis of the nation, we have pret ty strong faith that truth, though crushed to earth, will, in time, arise again. It has been so crushed for eight long years ; hut mnv it is about to make one desperate struggle for su premacy over wickedness and error, and it will be successful. Seymour and Blair will he elected, and by a larger majority than has been footed up by any victorious political par ty in this country in the past half century.— N. V. Dan Book. Tit for Tat. We are reliably informed that the following dialogue took place at the National, yesterday. Scene— [Governor’s reception Hoorn—Bul lock reclining on a lounge, Cigar in mouth.— Enter J—s. J.—Good morning, Governor! Bullock [rising.] Good morning Mr. J. J. —Well, Governor, I have called to see you on a matter concerning myself personally. Bullock.— Ahem! Yes sir. J.—-'You may remember, Governor, that T run on your ticket for Representative from F n county and was badly beaten. Tfore saw the result, but was willing to sacrifice myself on the altar of your success. Bullock.—Ah, indeed! J.—Well, sir, it was on your account that I hare lost the respect and friendship of my raeo, by casting my political and social status with the negro. T observe, however, that you have rewarded many of those who, like myself de voted all their energies to your success, and I now come to ask, as a slight compensation for the services I rendered you iu the election, that you give me au appointment on the State Road. Bullock, (drawing himself up to his full | height and throwing his shoulders buck.] I should like to know, Mr. J—s, what are vour ! qualifications for* tiie position you desire on the ; State Road? it is very important that such appointments he filled by the best railroad talent within uiy reach. J.—[stiffening indignantly.] And sir, I should like to know what are your qualifications Tor the position of Governor of Georgia? if an Express Agent can run a government, I don’t see why an Insurance man cannof run a i passenger train, [Exit J.] — At. Constitution. Recipe for Making Radicals. The following recipe, says an exchange, for making radical-, has been placed in our hands. For the benefit of all interested, wo give it a place in our columns : “Take a large amount of ignorance, a half pint of corruption: one ounce of cowardice; one pound of hatred of intelligent white men; one pound of negro flattery or deception. I’ut them all in the unconstitutional mortar o* contention; bruise them well with the nestle of oppression, or Brownlow’s military despot ism. Then put the compound in the kettle of midnight plotters. Add a gallon of the essence of negro social equality. Boil it over the fire of confiscation, until you cun perceive a scum of falsehood rise to the top. Skim the scum off with the ladle of traitorism. Let it stand till it settles—then put it in thc Freed mens Bureau jug. Take two llaspoonsful every I night, and work it off in the morning with a small dose of revenue officer’s or collector's spoils. If the patient be much debilitated (as he will he very apt to lie—if he hits any symp toms ot true constitutional government still remaining in him) let him take two teaspoons rul m a Ocu'.-othm irf SWCOtCnod with ft hypocritical prayer, and he will he as confirmed a radical as ever polluted the South with his presence." True.—What sort of villains are sent to the North Carolina Legislature, may be judged from the fact that on July 2d, a Senator Wynne, from Franklin county, asserted that there were not five respectable white men in Frank lin who supported the Republican ticket, and that not more than that number w ould recog nize him when lie return ad home, Such out casts make laws for a million people. True as Preaching." Fifty-seven freedmen of Marion Cos., Texas, have addressed a note to the editor of the Jef ferson Jimpleeute of the 7th instant, expressing their intention to cut loose from the Loyal League and vote for Seymour and Blair. They say tl cy “are fully convinced that their true interest and that of their children after theta require that they should stick to their old friends, the white people of thc South." We believe, says the Avalanche, if the proper pains are taken to instruct the colored people, they will not be found intractable or deaf to reason- They have been preyed upon by demagogues and sharpers, who have imposed upon fliem every imaginable falsehood, holding out false promises, exciting their cupidity, and alarming them with absurd predictions of what the white people would do if restored to political power. We toll the colored people that they have the strongest safeguard in thc honor and integrity which contradistinguishes the white people from the scalawags who have been de ceiving to use them.— At. Intel. Immediately after the President was acquit ted of impeachment, the Emperor of Russia wrote titm, rnrougti the Kussian Minister here, a congratulatory letter. It is said that the latter person kept the letter in his possession until after the consummation of the Alaska purchase, fearing, if ho delivered it to Mr. Johnson, Congress might take offense and re fuse to appropriate money for Alaska. The matter causes much comment in diplomatic circles, and is looked upon as a good joke on Congress, especially as that body two years ago passed a series of resolutions congratula ting the Emperor on having escaped assassina tion. Radical Alarm and Desperation. The New Y ork tribune, in the course of an editorial rally which indicates the editor’s apprehensions of defeat says : “Wo must not be beaten." The Radicals are beginning to realize their position, which is very much like that of a man who having hold of an enraged bull by the horns, is unable to “hold his holt," and is afraid to let go. The Radical party, having hj’ deception and falsehood obtained possession of the government, have resorted to every species of usurpation and lawlessness to perpetuate their power. And now, as they can no longer shut their eyes to the rising storm of'toptilar reprobation and indignation, conscious of their own infamy, they fear the fierce retribution of a wronged, betrayed and outraged people. Well may the false philoso pher and higher law prophet of the New York Tribune, who sowed the wind that bred the rising hurricane, in terror of the doom that awaits him and his followers, exclaim, •■Wo must not he beaten!” We wonder not at their mad desperation ; for their success is hopeless, and deteat is fearful retribution and despair. — Exchange. A Strange Death. The Corinth, Miss., Caucasian of thc 22nd, snj’s ; “A strange and surprising incident occurred last week in tire country some miles north of Corinth. A Mr. Mangruin killed a young man during thc war, and a m- days since Mr. -Mangruin was on a deer drive, find while at one of the stands ho saw an object approaching him which so alarmed him that he fired at it. The object, which resembled a man covered with a sheet, continued to advance upon Mr. Mangrum, when he drew his piste 1 and emp tied all the barrels at the ghost. None of the shots seeming to take effect he climbed a tree to make bis escape. By the urno he was a short distance up the tree, the white object was standing under him with his eyes lixed upon him, and he declared it was the spirit of the man whom he had killed. Mangruin was so startled at the steady gaze of the eye that lie had been thc cause of laying cold in death —that he fainted and toll from the tree. Ills friends carried him home, the ghost followed and standing before him constantly, the sight of which brought up the recollection of his guilt with such force to his mind that he died in great agony after two or threo days suf fering.” Hiram Ulysses Grant's public admission that lie has “no policy” is an acknowledgment that his election is not insured. Taking stock—running off with creditor's ■loods. Alabama Democracy. Tliofollowing is one of the resolutions adopted by the recent Democratic'Convention of Ala. Resolved, 4. That the oath required to ho taken before registration, as prescribed by the 3d Section of the 7t!i Article of the Constitu tion, must be construed in connection with the other provisions of that instrument, one of which declares, “That all political power is inherent in the people, all free governments are founded, on their authority, and instituted for their benefit, and iliat therefore they have, at all times, an inherent right to change their form of government in such manner as they may deem expedient,” and that such oath does not hind the party taking it never to change the Constitution or the laws of this State, but to yield obedience to them, so long as they are of force; and this every good citi zen should do. When we swear to “accept the civil and political equality of all men,” we accept it as the law ordains it; when we agree not to attempt to deprive any person or per sons, on account of race, color or previous condition, of any political or civil right, privi lege or inununitj- enjoyed by any other class of men,’ 1 we simply mean to carry out the law as far us in us lies, wtiten at present exists or may hereafter exist, but does not require us to go beyond the law. It is therefore the solemn judgment of this Convention, that every good man who loves his country, may and should take this oath, if required as a pre-requisite to voting, and cast his vote at the coming election for Seymour and Blair. ———- ——- —— . Truth from an Unexpected Source. Some men have a mortal aversion to the truth, nevertheless when they tell the truth they are entitled to credit. Such truths as thc following must have cost thc Bard of thc Atlanta Era fearful throes of agony. In his Sunday's issue he says: "In the Era of yesterday and the day be fore we mentioned and reprimanded thc pres ent disorganization of the party. (The truths were unpleasant to bo told, but none the less true for all that: and, as we consider them of vital importance at present, w© hold it discreet to throw them out at once, that the party may be warned in time. And we now say to Geor gia Republicans, that, unless the party harmo nize and uocs to work unitedly at once, Sey mour and Blair will carry the State over Grant and Colfax bv twenty live thousand majority. llow do the friends of the Union like the fig ures? IVe do not believe we have exaggera ted them at all, for as sure as the sun rises on the morning of the second Tuesday in Novem ber, our prediction will bo verified, unless the party neutralizes existing evils and goes to work sis one man.” True as Gospel. And what is worse, the • “existing evils" being organic and inherent, the Radical carcass is beyond the reach of neaiitralizer. or disinfectants. No amount of worKlng, lying or nwiiiilUng will suffice—not if every carpet-bagger and scalawag in Geor gia were to set to work with all their might, and every one was a “Sharp-ami quick.” l'he time is approaching when it will he prudent to pack carpet-bags.— Stic. News. Tiie Southern Militia. Alluding to the militia in the Southern States, the New York Times says editorially that, the c-me is made a good deal plainer by the extract from the law which the Secretary of War introduces into his order. By one of those unfortunate blunders which have marred the progress of reconstruction at almost every stage, the Smith is literally without a militia. Nod only has the local government no arms for its use, but the supplying of arms by the War Department is forbidden by a clause which passed under different circumstances is vet uurepetiled. Congress therefore in its liuste to adjourn, did more than neglect the distribution of arms, which ameasnr** In-ought, forward at a late day rightfully cnufimiplat.-.l It left on the statute hook a pro\i u whi.-’i restrains the War Department tr im arming the militia. Wliatever the emergency- to this extent the reconstructed States are (powerless their authorities are paralyzed by an order which nothing less than the action of Congress can set aside. Another Failure. 3ond luck does not always come singly, any more than misfortunes. The failure of thc funding bill, and of the attempt to arm the nigger mobs of the South, will bo hailed with joy nnd devout thankful ness throughout the country. These are net all the measures which «lie llump endeavored to press through in the lust hours of the session, only to incur failure and mortification. \Ve mentioned the other day that things did not work to the satisfaction of the Jacobins in Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas, and that they were coneoctiug mure reconstruction for them. But the bill, on this subject, which passed thc House, the Senate had not time to act upon. Wo congratulate those States on being spared this further infliction of Jacobin ma lignity.—Exchange. “Various reasons,” says Mr. Beecher, “are given, why men do not goto church. The fact is, they are not fed when they do go. The herds will not refuse to come to the rack when there is juicy fodder there. If a man sleeps under my preaching, 1 do not send a boy to wake him up, but I feel that a boy had better come and wake me up.” The instructions to General Buehanan are said to fully recognize the Southern State Governments, and it is thought that this ac tion will prevent a session of Congress in September. It is spoken of, by somo, as a surrender, by the President, to the Repub licans. The national expenses are increasing every day to support millions of negroes in idleness, that they may vote the radical ticket. The negroes are comfortably provided for, while flic white man mnst work and pay thc enormous tuxes. More Threats.—Tlio New York Tribune Q f the 1 1th says that one “inevitable consequence” of the election of Seymour and Blair “will ffi. a popular verdict against the whole reconstruc tion policy of Congress, und especially against the right of the blacks to vote,” and that they “will treat the new State Governments as nullities, and proceed at once to replace them by what they call 'White Men's Governments —that is, governments based on their <, Wn good pleasure. That they will he resisted,.and that bloodshed and anarchy will result, arc inevitable." But even this, the Tribune will discover fails “to scare worth a- dime.”— Governments will bo restored, not reconstruct ed, in the South, bused upon “the good pleas uro” of the white citizens of the several States interested respectively. That is exactly what the Democracy propose. If, therefore, the Radicals take up arms “inevitably” they will have a good time of it.— Louisville Democrat. > A Nashville paper says shortly after 12 o'elock on Sunday night, a circular spue, c. in the Northern heavens, as large, apparently, as the floor of a good sized round house, was all at once illuminated hv a tailing rain of drops Ought as the sun and ot every color.

People who drink lager for its strengthening proper ties, therefore, should not he discouraged.— Every nine casks they swallow will be at least equal to a ten cent loaf.
