General Gordon’s Letter of Acceptnnce
ns State Selector.
Atlanta, Jnly 27, 1868.
General John B. Gordon:
Dear Sir/—The Democratic and Conserva
tive Convention, which assembled in this
city on thfl23d instant, placed in nomina
tion yourffiame as an Elector for the State
it large, in support of the nominees of. the
Rational Democratic Party of the United
States in the pending Presidential election,
ltd charged the undersigned with the duty
ol communicating with yon and knowing
your pleasure in reference to accepting said
nomination.
Please signify the same to ns at as early a
day as may”suit your convenience.
Very respectfully,
A. H. Colquitt,
C. Peeples,
R. E. Lester,
J. M. ltUSSELL,
Dr. Leland,
B. F. Harris,
S. J. Smith.
Atlanta, Ga., July 29, 1883.
Messrs A. H. Colquitt, C. Peeples, K. E.
Lester, J. M. Russell, Dr. Leland, B.
F. Harris, S. J. Smith, Committee :
Gentlemen: Yours of the 27th instant is
reoeivedl — embrace my first leisure to re
ply. I had supposed that silence gave
consent, and that no formal communication
was needed to signify my acceptance.
If the wisdom of iutiquity has pronounced
neutrality in civil discussions incompatible
with the duties of good citizenship, surely in
tbiB particular crisis, so full of perils and
so fraught with hope for the Republic, in
difference or refusal to lend all possible aid
for the rescue of the country would involve
more than ordinary criminality.
I accept the appointment, and feel honor
ed by your choice of me a3 au Elector. Sev
eral of your committee were delegates' to the
New York Convention, and can testify, with
me the profound convictions and glowiog
purposes of our Democratic brethren of the
North, in view of the perilous and sublime
responsibilities of tbe present hour. It snr-
pagjed our most sanguine expectations.
Nwer, perhaps, in the history of the country,
hare the old Democratic altars appeared to
flane with so bright a glow of unselfish and
umhingled patriotism. The South must do
whit she can to hold up the bands of the
North in this great effort lor the liberties of
bath sections.
I have very little patience wilh the lan
guage cf shallow fancies or petty false alarms,
but it is painfully apparent that we are face
to hce with, or rather surrounded by the
nio.it stupendous political peril. We have,
however, only reached that cape ot “Good
Hole” around which the tempests thunder
sod fearful phantoms are said to loom
waids to the skies; but where, if we keep
hand on the chart of the Constitution, the
ver? whirlwinds that rend our canvas and
thrtaten our wreck, will only drive us the
mote rapidly on that halcyon sja on which
fortune and felicity will attend our sails and
maik the termination of our voyage.
But what are the perils that environ us ?
Why do we ask to displace the party in
poser?
Because it tramples under foot all the max
ims of liberty and all the traditions of the
Fathers.
Because it has inflicted taxation withont
representation, a tyranny at the bottom of
every revolution in the history of the Saxon
race.

PROTRACTED FROM HIDDEN
CAUBES. AND ‘WHOSE CASES RE
QUIRE PROMPT TREATMENT TO
HCE DESIRABLE.
If you are.suffering or havesnttered from
involnntary discharges, what effect does it
produce npon. yoor'general health ? Do yo n
Does a
e’extra exertion produce palpitation of
the heart?, Does your liver, or urinary or
gans, or yonr kidneys, frequently get ont of
order? Is yonr urine sometimes thick,
milky, or flocky, or is it ropy on settfing?
Or does a thick seqm rise to the, top? Or is
a sediment at the bottom alter it nas stood
awhile ? Do yon have epelis of short breath
ing or dyspepsia ? Are yonr bowels consti
pated ? Do yon. have spells of fainting or
rashes of blood to the head? Is yonr mem
ory impaired? la yonr mind constantly
dwelling npon this enbjeot? Ro you M
dull, listless, moping, tired or. company, ot
life? Do you tyisb.to be left alone, to get
ayvay . from everybody? Does any little
thing make : yon start or jump ? Is yonr
steep broken or restless 1 Ja, the Instre ol
your eye as brilliant? The bloom on yonr
cheek as bright ? Do yon enjoy yourself in
society as'wall? Do you pursue yonr busi
ness with the eaine energy?. Do you feel as
much confidence in yourself? Are your
spirits dull and' Sagging, ‘given to fits ol
melancholy ?* If so, do not lay it to yonr
liver or dyspepsia. Haye yon resttesa nights?
Yonr back . weak, yonr knees weax, and bave
bat little appetite, and you attribute this to
dyspepsia or liver-complaint ?
Now, Leader, self-abnso, venereal diseases
badly cored, and sexual excesses, are all ca
pable of producing a weakness ot the gen
erative organa The organs of generation,
when In perfect health, mage the man. Did
you ever think that those bold, defiant, en
ergetic, persevering, successful business men
are alwaye those whose generative organs
are in perfect health ? You never near such
men complain of being melancholy, of ner
vousness, of palpitation off the heart. They
are nbVer afraid they cannot succeed in busi
ness'! they don’t become sad and discour
aged; they are always polite and pleasant in
the company of ladies, and look you and
them right in the face—none of yonr down
cast looks or any other meanness aDout
them. I do not mean thos^ wbo keep tbe
.organs inflamed by rnnning to excess. These
will not : only rnin their constitutions, but
also, those they do bnsineas witfi or tor.
