THE RECORD. IVY F. THOMPSON, A* Kniron CKDARTQWN, GA., OCl\ 10, 1874. FOR CONORRHH, 7TII DIRT. I>r. Wm, H. F’elton, OF BARTOW county. Wo Jtmrnod just before going to press, tlmt Col. TrAUintflJI hits shim- donod the Congroesionnl nice, nud tho Executive committee nro to be ngnin celled togothrr. Let tbo citizens of our town and oouu y immodintelj take somo action in tho mattor. Poll I Ida ns, vi. the People. It lino been cuntomnry for a long timo for tho ixjoplo to trust implicitly in couviitilionn, and to hope thereby to Hocuro their righto, promote tbo inter cut* of tlio party and preserve ita"or ganisation. It noon began to be tho enne that tbo delegate* lent night of tho people and Choir interna!h, fi’jd I Mnllt | majority, if the race in squarely The Trammell King trying to Klect a Radical. . The supporters of Major Tramrnoll are quite liberal in their chargee that the people ot the He vent li diatrict aro in allianoe with the Kuriicil*. They nro dieplaying tho sumo spirit of in tolerance dinplnyod by Urecly man in 1872, and impugning tbo inotivos of overy man who rofuaoa to oboy the ordain of political i.dventuroro. One would nuppoee that Hioeo spas* lloa of Democracy wonld bo tbe loot inou in the world to iutriguo with lladicala. No true Domocrat would imagine f«*r a moment that they would do anything that raudnrod pomiblo tho cloctioo of a Radical to Congress. What, however, is tbo ocandatouo fact in the Seventh district It ia admit ted even by the Trammell mon that if no radical candidate runa, Dr. Felton will bo elected by an overwhelming majority. Warm supporters of Maj. Tramrnoll hnvu admitted that Dr. Felton willcury Bartow, Cobb, Paul ding, Floyd, Polk, Cbatooga, Chero- kco, und Catoosa conation by auch mn^.iritioo oh will nwamp ovorytbiug '■'.flu in ml by Trntninoll in tho other counties. Cool, oboervout mon pre dict Felton's election by four thou- strove only for ItoiAf own promotion and tbo gratification of their own am bition. Conventions, instore of doing tbo will, and ratifying thq sentiment* of tho people, wore Ukon ad vantage of by designing ’men, who hope by chicanery to ph.ee tbomaelvca in pow- or. Rings w orn formed for tho bene fit and ptornotion of a few, nt tho ex pense of tlio country. Ifonco the poo- ple look upon thorn with diatruut. When delegated aro choaon, they bccorno tho ngenta of the pooplr, and it ia thoir solemn duty to represent lluir party faithfully, and not to oon- spiro and combino for their mutual aid and and promotion at tlio ex- ponno of the people. When they get into convention*, let them discard ull selfish ambition and look to tbo wel fare of the people. They ought to Belcct the bout and ablest, and most acceptable men. In tho Calhoun convention the strongest man before tho Democratic party rccoivod but few votea. Wore tbo delegatee true to tlio trust reposed in thorn, when they nominated n man against tho wishes of tho party ? It wilt hardly bo contended that tbo muss of tho Democratic party wanted Col. Trnmmoll. Developments since show that nomination wus an unpop ular and unforiunato ouo. Even tho proas, which have pronounced for the nomination, do ‘it on tho ground of cxpediuucy, and not because Colonel Truiniuoll was tho choice of tho party, or the most (It and snitablo man. Wo beliovo that tho coiivoution knew they were making n nomination against tho wishes of tho party. Tho politicians wnutod him, and it was to their interest to nominate him. Many of them wont to servo tho ring, and not the party. Tlio prospoct of many aspiring mon wore at stake. They thought they could tnuko their own aolootion, and than whip tlio pooplo into lino by tho parly lash—by tlio cry of “disorganize!*, bolters. M It Kcems that tbo peoplo aro deter mined to act for themselves. They nrs aroused, and fool and comprehend tlio danger that surrounds them. Tho struggle is upon us, and it is an im portant one. It ie essentially a con test between tho peoplo on tho one side, and scheming, ambitious politi cians on tho other. If the pooolb pre vail, wo will have pence, good laws, nud an economical administration. If tho politicians prevail, wo w.U have high taxes and fraudulent Railroad bonds and other burdens. Stump* on Old Deeds. Tho Internal Revenue Aot impera tively requires tho affixing of stamps to tho doetin, mortgages and other similar instruments that were ascend ed in tlio ducade tlmt began on the first day of October, 1802, and closed with tho last day of September, 1872. Tbo waut of slumps invalidates such instruments, no mattor under what circumstaucos they wore issued. Here tofore an interested party could affix tho budge of tuxaliou to nu instru ment undos a ponalty of double tho uinouut of taxes remaining unpaid— in no case less tnan fivo dollars—bo- • Jpdoa the prico of tho proper stamp This unjust piece of legislation was repealed at tho last session of Con gross, and tlio act has been approved nud iB uow a law. According to th provisions of tho new act, any inter ested party ano affix tbe stamp neces sary to tho writing in this way : Tho nelson desiring to stamp tho same shall appear with documents, instruments, or appear, or copy there- of, before some Judge ot clerk of.a court of record, and before him affix tho prober stamp; and tho said Judge or clerk shall endorse on tho same or a copy, a certificate under his hand when made by said Judge, ami under his hand and seal, when made by said clerk, setting forth the date at which, and tho piano when tho stump was so affixed, tbo name of the persons pro- s ntiug said writing or copy, tho fact that it was thus affixed, and that the stamp was duly cancelled in his pres ence. An honest old farmer, on being told the other day that ouo of his neighbors owed him a grudge, said, *No mutter, be Dover pays anyth!og." between him and Trammell If tlio supporters of Major Tram mell were as anxious for tlio defeat of Radicaliein as they claim to bo, they would not be laboring to bring out a Radical candidate for the Woven 111 district. Nothing can bn morn certain than that tho frionds of Dr. Felton buvo labored, and are still laboring, to limit tlio contest to one between him and Major Trammell. It seems equal ly certain that tho men who are run ning Trammell aro making evory ex ortion to bring out a Radioal candi date. Wo have been informed of oonsultu tions in this city aud in tbo district between Trammell men and certain Radicals. A prominent Republican of the Seventh district stated, a few days ago, to a well known gentleman of Atlauta, that tbe Brown-Tratninell ring were trying their host to per suade Colonel Dover to niako the race. Now, suppose Colonol Dovor yi\ Ids fcj this pressure nud is electod, upon whom will tho responsibility for his election rest ? Upon tho supporters of Dr. Felton, who tried to keep tho Radical out of tho field, or upon the manipulators of the Trammell ring, who persuadod him to tnako tho rnco V Wo ask tho Doraocrats of the Sev enth district to bear in mind that if a Rudioul candidate is announced, hi* candidature will bo tho direct work of tho supporters of Major Trammell, who seems determined to rule or to ruin the democratic party of the dis trict. They have mado up thoir minds that if Trammell is not eleotetod, Fol- t in shall not be; hence, while prating loudly of thoir fealty to tho Dotnoc- racy or Democratic prinoplos, they nro deliberately oudouvoring to bring about tho election of a Radical to Congress. That there shall not bo any inisun dorstunding in this matter, we dletioofc- ly almrfro 4i«« supporters of Trammell with intriguing to put a Radical can didate in the field. If Colouel Dover or any other Republican announces his tmmo, wo shall innko soma disclos ures that will leave Major Trammell without a cornornls guard of Demo crats to vote for him. Meantime, we trust that Colonel Duvor will not per mit himself to bo used by a clique of couspiritors. While differing with him politically, we have always looked upon him us n man of honor, and have even defended him when assailed. Wo Hhould re gret to boo him lend his aid to a dirty piooe of business. The Forlorn Hope—Let us Save llie Day—A New Leader—A blroiiK Effort for lliinuony. Tho’ Summerville Gozocto, of the 1st, contains tho following editorial in regard to tho meeting of tho Exoc ut ivo Committee in Carfcrsvillo. Tho Gazette, wo believo, has borotoforo boon an adherent of Trammell : “Since wo wroto the editorial article entitled ‘How wo Parry a Thrust,' a very gratifying uotico has roaohod ns that tue executive committee of this Congressional district wns called to moot at Curtorsville yostoaday. Tho utter hopelessness of tho present cun- ass under Trammell has impressed tho committee, and a patriotic sense of duty to tlio party and pooplo has prompted them to review the situa tion, aud if possible repair tho for tunes of the day. This is their plain duty. Wo desire it underwood that wlmt over course tho committee pursues will bo in good faith followed by this paper. We could not, with a souud Democratic conscience, support Col. Trammell, though it was hard to turn our back upon ouo who claimed tho nomination. But that nomination was not fair aud Democratic, and tho people will not countenance anything that has not honesty on its face. We bnvo taken our position only after tho full light of exposition illu mined our path, and it came so late as to tnako more unwelcome the task of severiug tho bonds of party which at first were assumed as our bonnden duty. And wo claim that the support of Felloi), if another muu of tho party was not put forth was tho true line of allcgiauoo for every honest Democrat in this district TijRre uever yet was a party iuto which improper men not creep for office sake, or which could keep them subdued iu its own ranks. But the Democracy should bo like a volcano under tbo foot of lobby ists and convention triek-sottejv, to overthrow them indignautly. After tho terrible warning which tbe party baa had iu this district, wo bavo no fears that the oowmittec will make a mistake. If another conven tion bo called wo shall look to it foi delivorence ; Lut if the committee takes another caudulale bo will bo supported by this paper. For bump. ny‘s snke, change tho nominee. Tho first Religious nows paper ever published iu America was Tim Week ly Recorder, published iu Chillicotho Ohio, by tho Presbyterians. Cahtkrsvillr, Oa., Oct. 1, 1874. 7b the Editor of Uie Mice: —Those are surely tbe days of wonders and re forms. 1 happened to bo in the town of Cartersville on yesterday, and, to my great surprise, I heard that the executive oomraittio of the Democratic party of tho 7tb Congressional district wore to havo a meeting hero on that day. I said this mud bj merely a ru mor, for I am a life-long Democrat, and never iu my life have I heard of u Democratic executive corainittie of a Congressional district being called to- gather without an open call, published in one or more of tbo leading Dem.)- oratie papers ot tho district. But, sir, I crossed over tlio railroad, and there I met au old frlond trom one of the upper oonnties of tho district, who said to me, after the usual salutation, that there were only two women and ouo mau iu tbo world know where he teas, nud they were all. “Well” says I “wlmt of Mint; what aro you boro for?” “Why” he says “I am a member of the executive oommittio, and was called bore by a letter from John W. Wof ford, marked 'per$ vial and private,’ to attend a mooting ot tho executive oommittio.'* H>, sure enough, it teas a mooting ot tho ex* out ivo committee of tho Seventh district, aud they were just going to the courthouse to begin buxine**. After u tittlo white I conclu ded to go over and look on, its I felt interested, and I know tbut all Demo cratic mootings were ojye.n and public. As I walked up the stops, and was ubout to enter tlio room, a gentleman said to me: “You ennuot enter, the door is kW and, sir, so it was. Tbe D< mooralic executive committee of tbo Seventh district, was closeted in a jury room and tbo door absolute ly locked; and so this so culled Demo- orotic committee held its meeting, o'ktd and Inrred in from the public, in whose interest it was ostousiibly work ing. Mr. Editor, I itm for the nominee; but, sir, ray cheek blushed with shame wuou I saw the executive committee of the proud old Domocrucy of my native district holding its meetings under holts aud ban, as did that damnable) Union Legue, whoso baneful influences havo well nigh ruined our country; butwhat did tho executive committee V It appointed a committee to wait on Dr. Felton and ask him to submit his claims to this mrcl committee, under lock and key. What had it to do with Felton ? Ho wus not thoir “compli mentary nomineo." AU tlio time of tho sessiou of this oommitteo Mr. Trutmnell sat in a room in tho sumo building waiting, I Biinnoso, for tho ooiniuittoe to do his biuuiug. Sir, in my humhlo opinion, this comniilteo was called hero for TraminuU's bonofit, nud not in tlio interest of tho Demo cratic pirty. Ho well know Dr. Fel ton would not oomo down nt his nor bis oomroitteo’s bidding; but ho de sired to uiuko capital by having tho commit too invite Dr. Felton down, and then publish his (Trammoll’s) patriotic letter, with Felton’s refusal. This uuiumilleo ban liullllllg tO do With Dl*. Felton, nor bo with it. But it was tho duty of this committee to cull ii now con volition, aud t.iko out of tho Hold their complimentary cuididuto, and give tlio Democrats of tho Seventh distriot a candidate thoy could support This tho peoplo want. Thoy expect it, and nothing but this will satisfy thorn "Beautiful candidate /" “Beautiful committee!" Thoy could not, Mr. Ed itor, havo more effect flatly d 1 thoir onndiduto than by this secret Star-Chamber meeting. Who knew of it? Nobody but Mr. Trnmmoll. No other Democrat of tho distriot could jet a teller before tlio committoo but ilr. Trammell. Ho had ttie commit too eon veiled secretly, by letter, ami £ suppose lie bad it adjourned. Sir, there aro four good men on tint a »m- mittoo by nooidout, who, I am inform ed, demanded for tbc-ir peoplo a uow convention, but tlio candidate, had tho majority—for that was fixed at Cal houn. Sir, tho Douiocruts of this die- trict waut to support thoir party nom ineo. But uover will thoy support Air. Trammell us tlmt candiduto. Tho couimttoo c.rnnot plead waut of time. Ton days before tho election would bo utficient to nouiinuto n proppor can didate for tho Democrats of tho Sev enth district; for they do not cure about a canvass, but only desire to know tlmt their cundidato is ono of pure and uniiiipouchublo character, and tin y would Buck to his standard against Felton or any other indepen dent candidate, but as tlio mattor now stands, fioy will support Felton against Trammell. Sir, this meeting of tho Trnramofi committee was to bol ster Trnmmoll, blit it lias been the straw to break the camel’s back —they havo ruined him. Farewell Trammell. Polk. awaited results. He had nothing to fear, becauso there could bo but one result. Just precisely the only course that could restore harmony, was jnst precisely the only course that was not to be followed. Tho committee met for the purposo of making a little coi tal for Tramrnoll, and that was nil. Dr Felton was invited to submit his claims to the committee, and ho very properly declined. He bad charged that Major Trammeh’ff nomination, was effected by trickery and wire-pull ing, and it was not in the power of tlio Executive Committee to adjudgo tho case. An appeal to the peoplo alone could decide the matter. —Atlanta reive. Silent People. We all recon among our frionds or acquaintances some silent man or wo man whose influence is felt, whose rarely expressed opinion carries weight, whoso words'aro few, iudeed, but well chosen, spoken in cloar, har monious tones, go to the point and decide it.
