Thanks to n kind Provi dence, we have the grain for tiiem this time. The 'Republican party is uow reaping the reward of its iniquity, nud all honest men should rejoice thereat. Its course has been for tho bondholders, for contraction and against the people. In the language of the immortal Bon. Wade, tuoh a course “will skin any party and it •ught to.” Two years ago tho Re publican party, by a rupid change affront, might have been saved but now it is too late. It is doomed to dissolution. That sound democratic sheet, the Atlanta Constitution, in commending the address of the State Exeoutive Committee, published elsewhere in our paper, makes the following sound suggestions: "At present independontism is based on the pursouality of those who, affecting to despise nominations and conventions, have the effrontery to nominate themselves for office; but it will not ho very long before it will drift into a certain sort ol liberal re publicanism as dangerous in its ten- dendenoies to the liberties and pros perity of the people as the most hid eous form of oarpet-bagism. This is the tendency of independentism.and this is why the republican leaders are so anxious to nurse aud foster the independent candidates. Whatever is opposed to the success of the dem ocratic party is either directly or in directly in favor of the suocess of re publicanism. Onoe more we com mend the address to the the thought ful cunsideratgm of democratic vo ters. The time has arrived when the people must either crush out the spirit of office-seekers which springs from greedy ambition, or be prepared to accept the cousequeuces.” It is over a hundred years since George Washington set up this Re publio,yet his monument, except in the heart of his countrymen, is still unfinished.

'Wo do not cure analyse this mottl ing the results of the recent elections. There willbctimo enough for Ihnt when full returns nre before us. In tho meanwhile we nre left to content- pinto the reversal of a democratic majority of over twenty two thou sand in Ohio in the course of a sin- gle year, and the defeat of the Ohio idea in the state that gave it birth and that is to-day overwhelmingly opposed to a singlo gold basis, ton forced resumption and further con traction. The total vote of Ohio iB over (160,000, and there is no reason to doubt that tho greenback vote of Tuesday exceeded 75,000. Add these figures to the democratic vote and we have a majority against further con traction and in favor of Iho substi tution of greenbacks for national bank notes, of sixty thousand. And yet tho news is bulletined nil over the country to-day that Ohio has re pudiated tho hard-money theory of John Sherman and the eastern moil* ey-lenUers. The Cincinnati Guzotto declared almost before the smoke of the conflict had been cleared away, that it was a viotory over, what it calls, “a scheme of false and slippery money”—that iB, over greenbacks, and in favor of hank notos and a gold basis. Why is this ? IIow is it that the enen'ies of ourrency reform are able to nulify in Ohio a popular verdict of 60,000, more or less? Why bus the stole been turned over to tho suppor ters of John Sherman and the bond holders ? The reason is ns plain ns the nose on n mun’s face. Tim friends uf cur rency reform were divided, while the enemy remained compact and har- monius. With folly almost incredi ble, men left or refused to join the only party that oould curry into prnotioe their ideas, and threw away their votes no n party that absolute ly had no chance of gaining a con trol either of the stato or federal gov ernment. The very reforms they desire have thus been stifled, and their own consciences must tell them that they lire primarily responsible lor thereverBO they have encounter ed. The monspolists and money sharks from one end of the country to tho other nre this morning exult ing over their unexpected escape, mid they will doubtless proceed without Oahxj Lu re-oatubliah Choir shaken authority. But the triumph of tho gold bugs is not all. The third-party folly in Ohio has given tile party of corrup tion and niisrnie a new leusu of life. Hope and vigor havo taken place of dospairaml apathy. And the green- backers did it; for'overy vote cast for the greenback ticket in Ohio was a vote indirectly cast in favor of the party that opposes home rule, sup- ports tho centralization of federal power and upholds thegigantiofrand cf 1876, If the republicans have sooured a majority of tho Ohio and Indiana delegations, through the di versions of votes to the greenback tickets, the election of a republican hard money president is possible in 1880, thus perhaps bringing hope less defeat home to the debtor class and untold injury upoa the country. It is just such a programme as this that the greenback movement makes possible. It is just such a peril that it leads up to. Every vote bast in Ohio or in Georgia, or in uuy other state against the democratic nomi* nees, operates to lengthen the rule of the most corrupt party that the coun try has ever known, and to rivet the ohains that the east have put upon us. There is no help for us politi cally or financially, except through the democratio party, and the result in Ohio ought to fully open the eyes of every intelligent man to the dan gers of situation. COUNSEL TO GEORGIA DEMOCRATS. Address of the State Democratic Execu tive Comlttee-Tlie Doty of the Peo ple of Georgia In tho Present Crises— Unity of Action Called For. At a meeting of tho executive com mittee of the democratio puty for this stato at the capital in this oity on 8th inst, the following committee was apointed by the chairman to prepare tin address to the democratic party of the state. James M. Pace, chairman; J. L. Warren, W. A. Harris, M. J. Hatch er, J. T. Waterman, W T. Tram mell, J. A. W. Johnson, and W. E. Simmons. It was on motion order ed that the name of Miles W. Lewis be added to the committee. The fol lowing ia the address issued by the onmmittee to the people of the state; TRS ADDRESS. To THE D EMOCRATIO PARTY IN Geoboia: The state demooratio ex eoutive committee of Georgia, ani mated by a sincere regard for the welfare of tho state, and viewing with undisguised concern the exis ting opposition to some of tho regularly chosen caddidutes of our party deem it timely to oddress Geor gia democrats upon what it consi ders the imperative duty of the hour —the duty of true party allegiance and importance of its discharge. Wo speak no mere formal words to you; we usk you to hear ns for onr com mon cause. The peril of party dis integration is foreshadowed in n per sonal independentisin that professes fealty to democratio principle. The lurgo numerical majority of tho dem ocracy in the stato lias begotten a feeling of security, and a disregard of tho principles that won success. This sense of security appears to be drifting us steadily towards the dis solution of our party bond, and tho ultimate triumph of our political enemies in our own state. Not only this, but the great national viotory for which democrats have been strug gling I'oi more titan » deende of toil some years, and now for tho first time within onr grasp, must bo in evitably lost to use if our party uni- snn ceases, if our party zeal wanes, or if our party strength is weakened by selfish aspirants or disorganizing faotionists. It is well for the democ racy of Georgia to take soundings of its course, and in this early hour be fore the battle of tho ballots, deliber ate what is best to be done and what must be avoided. All sensible men,, inst acknowledge the need of oo op eration to secure a common uim, and preserve nud enforce a belief. In war there ontt be no triumpli with out organization. In politos it is equally essential. There must be a commou object, an acknowledged au thority, a harmonious policy and u united uotion. These nre the indis pensable conditions of success, ap proved by time and trial, und their violation will bring revenge in sure overthrow. Looking hack over the turbulent years sinco 1864, to their stormy conflicts, to their disappointments and humiliation, the conscientious champions of demooratio priu liples find cause for congratulation in their heroic adhesion. to duty, and in the full reward ol victory which it has brought to them. We saw then the upheaval of all society. Wo saw stutes raped of their sovereignty. We saw tho caprice of conquest made tho law of tho general government. We paw the soldier become tho ar biter of private rights, the custodian of private liberty, tho judgo of pri vate property. Worse even than lliese, wo saw a parly in power, Bcomingly enthroned, that sought to make these odious and fatal practi ces theacepted and permanent-policy of national rule. Tho spirit of our freo government was to bo forever subverted and destroyed, and the genius of liberty and law was to be supplanted by the demon of lorco nnd tyranny. In resistance to all this wicked intent, in undismayed battle with tho heresy of an|arbitrary centralism, tho democratic pnty did its grandest work. Vainly it fought for years. It suffered repeated de feat. It was derided and overwhel med, but vanquished or silenced, never. Btnrdily by the assailed cause of constitutional government, it stowl like a stone wall. On every battle ground, its forces were rallied, and its blow wus struck. It resisted force and fraud, misrule, menaces and temptation. Its courage grew, and abated not. It won, at lust, small victories, and then larger ones. It redeemed precincts, u-'Uti’U-s ci ties, states. One alter an nil r. It took citadel aud stronghold ifr--p ib- licanism. It carried its victorious standard into tho speaker's ohnir, it but awaits in ussun-J victory :lie forms of the senate’s capitulation li elected the president, but lost tli - prize by tho superior genius of radi calism for fraud. In these hard Won and long delayed triumphs, it re stored lnw, and order, und peace. To the conduct of publio uffairs, it brought new virtue, to official cor ruption it brought un end. For pub lic evtravagance, it substituted econ omy, it quickened the dormant sen timent of private patriotism, it res tored to life and vigor the spirit of constitutional law und liberty. But its mission is not yet fulfilled. It has a president to scut, before it can wholly impress its polioy upon tile government and make the nextohap- ter in the history of the country. What has r.ot tho democratio par ty done for our bejoved slate? Its beneficent work is all too fresh to need recount. Consider it hut a moment, and let the pleasing re flection assemble its members in so lid phalanx around its standards on every field of confliot. Fellow-citizens of the democratio party, the final consummation of ) of triumph for our individual an I collective good can lie accomplished only by the same united action which lias brought us our past successes. | What we hnvegnined can only be preserved to us in this way. If dem ocratic principles are to be nmin- tuined, we must preserve onr organi zation. We ennnet disband our forces and continue to conquor. We can achieve no further viotory if di vision come to us. If we break ranks, wo can win no battle. We cannot preservo our party by disintegrating it. We see in Georgia, in sovoral con gressional districts,'aspirants, claim ing to be democrats, running out side of tlio party organization and against the regular party nominees. These aspirants make stoutprofesslou of their party fealty, and yet their only hope of success rests upon the solid vote of the opposition, the radi cal party. From suoli source comes their succoring strength. If their profession of political faith bo trn , it mast be seen that.a successful oa - diducy upon sttoh basis makes the opposition tho balance of powor be tween contending democrats, hu- iniliu . s our party, and, by subject ing it to defeat, makes the result a substantial opposition viotory. Will voting democrats aid in putting their party to shame? - We entreat you not to do so. Let there be no self-delusion in this important mat ter, Let no man mislead you, or .deocive you hysgfchius pretext. Ths path of duty and interest is plain to ail who will calmly consider. Let deni’oeruts refuse to give their coun- tonnnoe^and support to independent candidates, and the danger which threatens the puty-chull disappear st once. They have no claims upon you, they carry nottlio party stan dards, they seek not to advance the party interest, or promote the pub lio good. They but seek to gratify their own personal ambition und love ofoffio-. No existii.g party abuses invite their reforming lin-idr For selfish purpose :te,-y Make pio- fession. Ti.eir snec-ss will bring benefit to nono but th mscln-s and (lie party hostile to ns. Let them run if they will, but not under Jylse colors. Tho demooratio party can hut dispute their claims to represent it. It can find no pleas ure, it cun feel no £1.-1180 of friend ship, in that success which wounds and enfeebles it, and nrrest its con quering advance. 'Speaking affec tionately and earnestly for that grand party, venerable in patriotic servioo and radiant with its regained strengh nnd honors, we appeal to every member of it in Georgia to stand inflexibly by its organization, and follow to joyous nnd benign vio tory the men who hold its commis sions, and bear to battle its aooredi- led standards. ‘‘Oneo more unto the breach, dear frlunds, onro J.

Washington Oct. 11, 1878. Of the results of Tuesday’s emo tions in Ohio, Imliunu, Iowa and West Virginia, it may be said that t lie Democrats have the best cause for rejoicing. Tlioy probably eleot twelve Congressmen in Ohio, eight in Indiana andfchreo in WestVirgina, They have the Legislature of Indi ana, which ensures the return of Voorhees to the Senate. The Repub licans, losing in every state since they set out to capture the House of Rep resentative?, will neoessar ily abandon all hopes of accomplishing that re* suit. Of the Congressmen elected it is particularly gratilying to note the success of Hurd, Ewing aud McMa hon. They are all men of ability and experience, and, though differing with each other on some points, are always Democrats. Milton Sayler is beaten, which will deprive the party in the House of one of its most clear headed aud influential men. The Republican pr^ss, for a time scared away from the bloody shirt issue, is returning to it under the leadership of Roscoe Oonkling. This noted man saw fit to revive a thing which was rapidly dying, and which de8rved to die—which for the peaoe and harmony of the country, was required to die—and uow the radical papers seem determined to restore to its old time vigor. 1 am unable to believe the people of the North ap prove of this course, and believe that tho elections this fall will show that they do not. So far, certainly, they I havo shown no approbation. The reports of suffering from the South-west nre likely to be loss here after, not because the suffering will be loss, but because the fever itself will so decrease, and terror is not in spired by other forma of human mis ery as by that. Hunger, and naked ness will follow tho fever. Against these we can mukc a more successful defence than against disease, and we shall be in fault if every effort is not. made to forward all possiblo relief. Tho sending of light-draft boats down the Mississippi loaded with necessary articles, seems to be the most efTeotive means yet devised ol distributing what may be offered, ns it is thus possible to reach places cut off from relief in any other way. The White House promises gay scones the coming season, nnd tlie great charm about that is that every body who chooses can participate; though it is hard to sec just where the pleasure of dancing attendance upotf these high—and—mighty lies. There n only to see a fine huso, fur niture and flowers, lino feathers, jew els ond wardrobes, noted p-rsons hi d famous beauties, There can be, ol course, no real participation by the public nt lurge, though it is some thing to bo a looker on—a better something, perhaps, than to bo a real participant.
