THE TRUE ISSUE.
The Radical policy is to misrepresent the
issues to be determined in the pending election.
Should they acknowledge their own object to
lie, as it really is, the total subversion of the
forms of popular government to make room
for the continuance of the present sectional
oligarchy, it would provoke the just indigna
tion of the whole people. Hence, the ctrorts
of the Republican papers and speakers to make
the people think the object of the Democracy
is revolutionary. As it would be impossible
to reply separately to all the falsehoods cir
culated by the Radical leaders the following
statement of Democratio policy is officially
published by the authority of the Executive
Committee of the Democratic party of Georgia.
It is submitted to the candid consideration of
every lover of constitutional liberty.
An Address by the Central Executive Com
mittee of the Democratic Party of Geor
gia.
Rooms Central Executive Committee, )
Os Democratic Partv of Ga.,
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 26, ISOS. )
The position of the Democratic Party of
Georgia in relation to the Reconstruction
measures of Congress for the establishment of
governments in the Southern States being mis
understood, it is'believedjthat an authoritative
declaration of what the party holds in regard
t) thorC measures will not be deemed inappro
prLatc in the present juncture of political
affairs.
The Central Executive Committee in the
following declaration of principles, do not
hesitate to say/thattbey speak truly the senti
ments and feelings of the party they represent,
and they desire to speak for themselves and
their party, that their true position may he
known.
The Democratic Party South is charged with
still being rebellious in spirit, and ifi the event
of the election of the Democratic candidates
to the Presidency and Vice-Presidency of the
United States, with an intention to arrest the
further enforcement of the Reconstruction
Acts of Congress, without awaiting the action
of the Judicial Department of the Govern
ment upon the question of their unconstitu
tionality, and thus to inaugurate another civil
war.
This charge places us in a position we do
not occupy, and we meet it with a denial of
its truth.
We claim the right to define our true posi
tion.
We hold the Reconstruction Acts of Congress
to be unconstitutional, that is to say, they are
unauthorized by any grant of power in the
Constitution. To believe an act of Congress
unconstitutional, does not imply an intention
to resist its enforcement by violence, or to get
rid of it by revolutionary measures. Different
views of the constitutionality of Congres
sional legislation will necessarily exist,
but the sword is not the* arbiter of such dis
putes, else the country would be in a state of
continual war.
There is a tribunal for the settlement of all
such questions, and when its adjudications are
pronounced,'acquiescence becomes the duty of
all the people. Individual opinions must yield
to official and authoritative decisions of the
Judiciary.
.Notwithstanding we hold that the Re
construction Aets of Congress were enacted
“outside of the Constitution,” and without
constitutional authority, we do not propose, or
intend to maintain our position by a resort to
force. The constitutionality of these aets is
a question to be decided by the Federal Judi
ciary upon a proper case made. If their deci
sion should be adverse to the constitutionality
of that legislation, we will claim all the conse
quences which will legitimately result from
such a decision, and it will not be unreasonable
in us to expect that those who hold opposite
views will acquiesce in the decision, and ac
cord to us all the rights to which it may legal
ly entitle us.
On the contrary, if the constitutionality of
the Reconstruction measures should be sus
tained by the Supreme Federal Judiciary, as
peaceable, law-abiding citizens we will yield
obedience to that decision, and cease all fur
ther opposition to those measures.
And in another contingency, if the Supreme
Court should refuse to entertain jurisdiction
of eases presented under these acts, the only
alternative left will he to yield them obedi
ence, as laws obligatory and binding, or to
resist them by revolution, and the latter we
unhesitatingly reject. We desire a peaceable
solution of the complications arising under
these acts, and a finality to the agitation which
they have produced.
In our own State we recognise the government
which lias been organized by authority of these
acts,and will recognize it now,and henceforth,if
itshouldnothe superseded by authority of law.
If our State shall he remanded to the govern
ment existing prior to the enactment of the
Reconstruction Acts, it must he done hy oper
ation of law, and not hy revolution.
We hold, then, that the question of the con
stitutionality of the nets referred to, is a ques
tion for the judiciary, and not for an appeal
to arms, or any violent revolutionary meas
ures to bo initiated by the President of the
United States to set aside those measures by
bis own mere will.
Whichever of the present candidates for the
Presidency of the United States may bo elec
ted to that office, neither should use bis arbi
trary will either in enforcing these measures
against a decision of the Supreme Court de
claring them unconstitutional, or in superce
ding them, and setting them asido before the
action of the judiciary can he had.
If the Republican candidate should be elec
ted and the Reconstruction Acts should be
pronounced unconstitutional by a decision of
the Supreme Court of the United States, ac
quiescence in that decision will be bis duty,
no less than of a private citizen. If the Dem
ocratic candidate should be elected, his elec
tion will not per se, authorize him to declare
those acts unconstitutional, null and void, and
no longer of any binding force and efficacy ;
but it will be his duty to await the decision of
the question by the proper tribunal to which
it belongs, and on which ever side it is made
to regard the decision as obligatory and bind
in", ns an art of Congress w hich is clearly in
conformity to the constitution.
Wo speak for the Democratic party of Geor
gia, and we may go further, and say, -that
though wo are not authorized to speak for
others outside of our State, yet we believe
that the sentiments and feelings of the Demo
cratic party in other Southern States are in
unison with our own.
These are the views we hold upon the ques
tion in which we, as a people, are so deeply
and vitally interested. We intend no war—
we meditate no revolution —we want no civil
strife. We are for peace and intend to keep
the peace, and will not break it if not forced
to do it in self-defence and for self-preservation.
We counsel and exhort our people to for
bear all acts of violence upon the colored race
—even to endure provocations, which they
would not tolerate under other circumstances.
They arc ignorant, and led on by designing
white men, to make threats, and commit acts
of indiscretion for the purpose of produc
ing collisions between them and the white
people—and to resist them by violence will be
to enable their white leaders to accomplish
their object. For this and other reasons, we
counsel the utmost forbearance, which cau be
exercised.
We advise our people to accord to the frccd
men all the rights and privileges which the
present laws secure to them. Withhold from
them no right to which they are entitled. Let
them not be obstructed in the exercise of any
privilege which the laws give them. I nder
our present laws they are entitled to the right
of suffrage. Let them enjoy it freely, volun
tarily, and without molestation. On the day
of the approaching election, to avoid conflicts,
the polls should not be and will not be occu
pied by one race to the exclusion of the other :
but arrangements will be made whereby all
who are legally entitled to vote shall exercise
that privilege, and we believe that our people
have the magnanimity to see to it that no
freedmen, who is entitled to suffrage, is de
barred from his tree exercise of that right.
This is our counsel and advice, and we trust
and believe that it will be heeded.
Having made known our true position in
regard to the reconstruction measures of Con
gress. and the protection which is due to the
freedmen in the enjoyment of their rights and
privileges, we assure the people—all the peo
ple of every name and persuasion, North,
South, East, West —that these arc our views—
the views of the Democratic party of Georgia,
and any representations to the contrary are
untrue, and do us great injustice.
We pledge ourselves to submit to all laws
constitutionally enacted—to all decisions of the
courts, declaring laws to be constitutional,
whose constitutionality may be disputed, and
in return, we claim all the rights gutuanteed
by the Constitution —we claim protection cf
life, liberty, and property, by law, and wo
claim for our States equality of rights and
privileges with others State'of the Union.—
We desire to see our government brought back
to its original purity and first principles. We
desire an administration of the Federal Govern
ment upon the principles upon which it
was administered in the early ages of the
Republic.
“Equal and exact justice to all men,
of whatever State, or persuash n, religious,
or political—peace, commerce, and honest
friendship with all nations, entangling alli
ances with none—the support of the State
governments in all their rights, as the most
competent administrations for our domestic
concerns, and the surest bulwarks against auti-
Republican tendences the preservation of the
Goneral Government in its whole Constitution
al vigor, as the sheet anchor of our peace at
home and safety abroad —a zealous care ot the
rights of elections by the people—a mild and
safe corrective of abuses which are heaped
by the sword of revolution, where peaceable
remedies are unprovided-absolute acquiescence
in the decisious of the majority, the vital prin
ciple of republics from which there is no appeal
but to force, the vital principle and immediate
parent of despotism ; a well-disciplined militia
our best reliance in peace and for the first
moments of war, till regulars may relieve them;
the supremacy of the civil over the military
authority; economy in the public expense,
that labor may be lightly burthened; the hon
est payment of our debts; encouragement of
agriculture and of commerce, as its hand
maid ; the diffusion of information, and ar
raignment of all abuses at the bar ol public
reason ; freedom of religion ; freedom of the
press ; freedom of person under the protection
of the habeas corpus ; and-trial by juries impar
tially selfcted.”
Let the Federal Government be administered
upon these principles, and, speaking for the
people of Georgia, “we pledge our lives, our
fortunes, and out sacred honor to maintain
I lie Union in its full vigor.

The Track of Reconstruction.
[Extract from a speech hy Senator Doolittle,
at Shelbyville, Indiana, September, 13tb,
1868.]
I saw it, when the great reconstruction
track was first laid down by Mr. Lincoln, con
tinued by Mr. Johnson, as the chosen engin
eers of the American people, They laid the
reconstruction track upon the solid htsis of
the Constitution. They laid the reconstruc
tion track recognizing the rights of the .States
They laid the reconstruction track down upon
the civilized basis of the white people of the
South. I saw the little band of Radicals in
the Senate when the car of State was proceed
ing upon tliis track, when they first threw
down their obstructions across the track to
prevent the car of reconstruction going to its
destined port. I afterwards saw these men
when they went to work deliberately to build
another track—a track outside of the Consti
tution ; a track laid down over the ruins of
the Constitution ; a track laid down upon the
ruins of the States ; a track laid down upon
half-civilized negro basis, in ten States of the
South. And after this track was built by
these men, I saw them when, w ith deliberate
purpose, they turned the switch which turned
the car of reconstruction off from the constitu
tional track on to this unconstitutional negro
track. I was sitting in the train myself, when
1 saw them turn this switch, and, as they en
deavored to move the train away off from the
constitutional track, I for one resolved, 1 took
my solemn oath, that I would not ride in a
train which went outside the Constitution.
[A voice, ‘‘Good for you cheers. |
I would continue to stand upon a constitu
tional basis. I would ride in a train which
was made up upon a constitutional track; and
1 have seen hundreds and thousands of honest
Republicans that were sitting in the same
train with me when it was switched off from
the constitution,.! on to the unconstitutional
track ; I have seen them, honest men, find
themselves standing outside the Constitution,
no longer upon the Lincoln track, laid upon
the Constitution, but upon the new-made Rad
ical track which Stevens and Sumner have
built outside the Constitution and over the
ruins of the States. llow they came there
they hardly know. Perhaps they wore sitting
in the cars and asleep when the switch was
turned.
T call upon you, my fellow Republicans, you
who were with me in JMIO, in ISOI, in JSO4 ;
you who, with me, stood for the defence of the
Government and for putting down this rebel
ion, but who with me, gave your solemn
pledge that when the war was over the States
should be restored to their rights, dignity and
equality in this Union like all the other States,
I call upon you to stand with me now where
we stood when Mr. Lincoln was President—
upon the constitutional track of reconstruction.
Leave this train that is made upon the uncon
stitutional track, and take your pas ago upon
that train which now stands on the constitu
tional track, on which the great mass of the
Democratic party have taken their passage, and
in which, in my judgment every patriotic, true
Republican, who wishes to preserve the Con
stitution and the Government under which he
lives in the spirit in which it was made and
bequeathed to us by our fathers, ought to take
his passage also. [Cheers.]
Fellow-citizens, I am nearly done with what
I have to say on this occlusion. I regret that
we were interrupted at the grove ; that 1 was
not permitted to continue, before the same per
sons who were there, the argument which I
intended to make. What I desire above all
things is to get to the judgments and con
sciences of my follow-citizens ■ to see if our
Republican fellow-citizens who are patriotic
and conscientious, who love their government
and its institutions, are not willing still with
mo to make a struggle for their preservation.
For I tell you, fellow-citizens, it makes no dif
ference to me from what quarter the attack
shall come; wdiether by the secessionists
of the South or by tlic Radicals of the North.
Whenever the attempt is made to overthrow
the Constitutional Government and to under
mine the principles upon which it rests, I for
one, while God gives me health and strength,
shall be found in the struggle to preserve the
Constitution and the Union, and the spirit in
which they wore made. [Cheers.] 1 know,
fellow-citizens, that General Grant, in his
letter of acceptance, says to the people, “Let
us have peace.” Yes, fellow-citizens, let us
have peace. Rut what kind of peace is it that
is given to the South ? Why, you disfranchise
hundreds of thousands of the most intelligent
of tlieir white citizens, and put substantially
the government into the control of the liaif
civilized negroes ; when this negro supremacy
is to he upheld by the bayonet—when it can
only be upheld by the bayonet. It would not
last an hour in the States of the South, but
that it is supported by the power of the bayo
nets of the Federal Government. What kind
of a peace is that which lias a boyonet at her
breast? What kind of liberty is that which
has a halter about her neck, waiting for trial
and sentence at a drum-head court martial ?
No, fellow-citizens, give us the peace which
the Constitution and the supremacy of the
civil law secure. Give us that liberty which
the Constitution guarantees, and which is de
fended by all those common law rights of trial
by jury, and counsel for defence, before any
man can be deprived oflifc, or liberty or prop
erty. [Great applause.]
The Way to Stop Itiots.
A week or so ago a negro was muidored at
Lagrange, a few miles from Helena, Arkausas,
anti as the murderers were hlack, it is reported
they were Ku-Klux. A Rev. Mr. IV hitc,
Representative in the Legislature, in preach
ing in Helena to tiie negroes, notified them
lie would preach next tiny at Lagrange, and it
would boa good time for them to go there
armed and avenge the death of tlio murdered
negro. On Monday one hundred and fifty to
two hundred negroes, armed and mounted,
started for Lagrange, and it was given out
that Lagrange ami Marianna were both to be
destroyed and vengtaneo taken on the white
citizens. Great excitement was produced at
Helena among the Conservatives, who went
to the leading Radicals and insisted that they
should interfere and prevent bloodshed—but
they had no intention of interefering, and
seemed gratified at the prospect of a decided
riot, which would show the people of the North
what the Radicals had to suffer South.
The prominent citizens then very quietly
informed the leading Radicals that if the out
rage should ho committed, the bodies of the
prominent Radicals in Helena should be bold
ns hostages and treated accordingly. This
had the desired effect, and Wygert, editor of
the Radical newspaper, and others, accompa
nied the Conservative sheriff, and they arrived
in Lagrange after White had preached and
before any act of violence had been committed,
and the mob was quietly dispersed. I lie citi
zens of Lagrange had made arrangements to
give them a bloody reception. ’1 hat is the
way to prevent these outrages, hold the scala
wag leaders, who incite the negroes to acts of
violence, responsible Cor them, and we shall
bear of no more of them. — Vicksburg Herald.
There is a lending hank in New York where
a thief is employed at a good salar y. The
paradox is thus explained. Some months ago
iv large sum of money was stolen from the bank

Could be the work of no outsider, it must have
been committed hy someone in the bank.—
Conseqontly, detectives were employed, and
all the clerks, from'the cashier down are now
under strict surveillance. They all know that
one of their number must be guilty ; but who
it is, tiie guilty one alone can tell. No clerk
dare resign, for lie would at once be suspected

direct suspicion towards him.

ington Digest publishes a long list of names,
among which are Grant-, Stevens, Sumner,
3Tado, Sehcnek, Sherman, Sprague, and other
similar lights of Radicalism, whose aggre
gate wealth now is 8734,560,000. Os course,
ill this list lie includes tiie notorious Beast
Butler, whose fortune it. says, was acquired
by spoons and plate. The wealth of these pa
triots before the invasion of the South was
$1,027,000. It goes on to say : “They com
menced the Radical war with a million of
dollars. They have run the Government into
a debt of two thousand six hundred millions
of dollars, and have pocketed for themselves
over seven hundred million dollars ! which
they hide from taxation, and demand payment
of principal and interest in gold from a taxed
and overburdened people. May God, in Ills
mercy, soon deliver the people from such
rulers.'’
Cotton.
33 r e invite the attention of our readers to
the following, which has been addressed to us
by a reliable and intelligent planter residing
in the county of Houston, in this State. It
gives a gloomy account of the prospect of
cotton in the cotton growing regions of our
State :
Houston Cos., Sept. 21.
The cotton prospects in this county are
gloomier than they were ever known to he.—
Tiie caterpillars have made fearful ravages in
tiie last three weeks, and they have damaged
the cotton equally as had in the adjoining
counties. Planters scarcely hope to gather a
half crop, and in many instances a third of a
crop will not be had. A planter remarked
to-day, “three weeks ago he expected to get
forty bales on”a hundred acres, but the cater
pillars had so destroyed it, he would now be
thankful if tie got ten bales.” Tho corn crop
will be short, but it is thought enough will be
made for home use.
Respectfully, Planter.
[At. Tide/.
There have been received by the four ware
houses of this ci'y since the Ist instant, 1,982
bales of cotton. Os this amount, 1,016 bales
have been sold. Averaging tiie bales at 500
pounds each, we have 508,000 pounds of cot--
ton. which has sold at about 28c. per pound,
making the handsome sum of $101,600, which
lias been put into trade since the first of the
month.

A New Religion. —The Monroe Adcerlisar
says the negroes around Forsyth, and in other
places in Middle Georgia, have discovered or
invented what thev term a “New Religion.”
They assemble at their place of worship, and,
to all appearance, go through the usual cere
monies of divine service. When this is con
cluded, the congregation rises to its feet and
begins singing one of those wild, wierd songs
peculiar to the African race. This lias a sin
gular effect upon the ignorant minds of Cuffec
and Dinah ; they shout, go crazy, and fall down
in a trance, which lasts sometimes as long as
three days. During these trances, they have
wonderful visions, which they relate with great
relish and seeming earnestness.

the most complete, comprehensive, and exhaustive
work illustrating our language at the present time
in the power of seliolarship to produce, and contains

guage. Webster’s system of orthography, revised
1 by the present editors of his works, now generally
I prevails in the school-books and the periodical and
j other popular publications of our country. This
edition of the Dictionary, which is a c"rcful and
thorough reconstruction of the former editions, is,
as it has been well pronounced, “a magnificent

Georgia Railroad.
We find the follow ing notice of the Georgia Rail
road and its Officers and Employees, in the At
lanta Daily Intelligencer, of a recent date :
“ The Georgia Railroad. -—We know ot no en
terprise conducted with greater skill than the Geor
gia Railroad. Every one connected with its man
ageijvent, from President King down to the hum
blest official, seems to make the interest of the road
his constant study. The efficiency of Col. E. 33.
Cole, the Superintendent, is conceded by alt, amt
it is through bis efforts, chiefly, that a system of
expeditious and cheap transportation from the fai
West lias been inaugurated, enabling the merchants
of Augusta and Atlanta to compete with those of
the Atlantic cities. Col. Cole's connection with
the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad as President,
does not in tho least affect the interest of the Geor
gia Railroad, except for good. At the chief office
in Augusta Mr. S. K. Johnson, the Assistant Super
intendent, conducts the business energetically, yet
quietly. Though comparatively a young man, lie
lias had many years’ railroad experience, associated
with Col. Cole ; and by his strict and prompt atten
tion to the duties of his position, modest and unas
suming deportment, has won tiie respect of all who
Have transactions with the road. His right-hand
man, Mr. T. Lyons, is thoroughly posted, and ever
ready to answer cheerfully the thousand and one
questions always to he asked by the multitude rela
tivc to railway mutters.
In our city, General Anderson, whom everybody
knows mid respects for liis many admirable qualities
of head and heart, is tiie lit representative of this
great corporation. We hope soon to sec him in

tions in the elegant and spacious depot now in pro
cess of erection.
But the officials brought directly in contact with
the traveling public, are the conductors. These are
the men who do so much to render traveling pleas
ant ; and, without exception, Messrs. Pukcbll,
Reed, Hicks, Smith, Miller, and Walsh, are un
surpassed in in their avocation. The young gen
tlemen, Lucius Harms and James Dunning, hav
ing charge of the Sleeping Cars, are also affable and
accommodating, and their “valets de ehambre” are
polite and attentive to the wants of their lodgers.
Long may the present officials live to contribute
to the prosperity of the Georgia Railroad.
Iluid on to Cotton.
Tne planters of Bullock County, Alabama
at a meeting on tho lath took iho iollo.ving
action:
3Ve. a portion of the planters of Bulloch
e-untv, Ala., earnestly call upon tiie planters
of the South to join with us in the effort to keep
out of market all cotton not necessary to meet
ali debts now due, and to explain io the luljor
er the advantage of this course and secure his
co-operation in the matter. Therefore, ho it
resolved:
1. That the cotton planters of Alabama and
of the other cotton producing States he ami are
hereby respectfully requested to at once hold
beat and county meetings for consultation and
ad vice as to tiie best means of securing a fair
price for the present crop of cotton.
2. That' wo recommend tiie planters to av-id
forcing cotton upon a declining market, as
much as may be consistent with their obliga

3. That we recommend the planters to store
