Our Comniiiiiily,
While, qb a jout nulidt, wo earnestly
advocate tho claims of our cundidato
for cnngrmional honors, behoving his
re-olection is for tho host interest of
l ho 7th district, wo do not forgot
onr duty to tho community in which
wo live. Our chief aim is to advnnco
its intorosts, honoo tho following sug
gestions:
Political storms boou blow ovor;
but communities Abide. Neighbors
will continuo to livo near ouch other.
Royers and scllors, patrons and pat
ronised, tradesmen and customers,
have common pormanont interests.
Nothing is so vitally important to all
of these as intornal harmony, and no
zoul for fuvorito candidates should l>o
so heated as to tuolt tho bonds of fra
ternity which biud us together. Asa
vory brief tornado tuuy bo tracod
for ages by tho gaps in the forest, und
tho trees uprooted in its truck; no a
i hurt livod political campaign, swept
by tho tempest of passion limy loavo
fearful chasms in our social world,
which may remain fur years.
Our community have long boon
uotod for its unily. Years have pass
ed since there has been any wide
spread estrangement. Individuals
and chmcheo have illuHtrauul the
I’ealmist's joyful picture, ‘‘Behold how
good, and how pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity.’’
Lot ovory man resolve not to mar this
picture.
It is not our purpose to deny to
uuy man the right of private jrdg-
mout, nor have we a right to expect
ttmt all will agree with our pohtio.il
opinions, but if suoh opinions are dis
cussed, let it be in a manly spirit,
avoiding personalities and unkiudness
und bitterness. If ihe arguments be
lend, let the words bo hofi und the
spirit kind. Then after the storm is
past and we lake our reviewing wo will
not be found driven far asunder, but
sailing close togothor, we may render
material aid und ooinfort us wo pursue
our onward voyage of life.

W. L. Goodwin was in Rome on
Thursday, und tried to get up a meet

Bo-calloa Goodwin aud Dabney alli-

7th District. After all the draining
around, blowing Arouud, hoisting
around and talking around, all tho
cioud that could bo possibly muster

four men; of this number tifteon woro
members of tho Dabney Democratic

tho Fixsidont of tho club. Five moro

THE CANVASS.
‘ORGANIZED’ DEMOCRACY.
A LETTER ON TilE SUBJECT
FROM Dr. II. V. M.
MILLER.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 11,1876.
G*xtlkmkn:—I have tho honor to
acknowledge tho recoipt of yours of
tho 10th iutlanl, inviting mo to ut-
tond v maiH meeting at Marietta ou
tho 28th of this month. You aro
pleased to say, "Knowing tho deep
idterest you buvo ovor felt in tho wel
fare, success and triumph of tho or
ganized domocracy over ovory other
competitor, wo oarncBtly request that
you will honor ns and tho pooplo of
this county with your prcscnco on
that occasion." I cannot accept bo
Haltering an invitation without pro-
rnising a short explanation. It is im
possible toovorostimuto iny desire for
honoHt democratic government, nor
tho interest 1 fael for tho triumph of
democratic principles; but if you have
bt'On led to suppose llmt I am in fuvor
of tho crofttion or rauiutouunco of an
"organization” unknown to the law,
which is intended or calculated to
wrest from tho pooplo tho power to
choose their own representatives, you
havo mistaken my position.
Tho recommendation, or nomina
tion, if you will, of any mime as a can
didate for oillce by ten or ton thous
and people, c/itfk'H with it properly an
iufiuei co projWliuuod to tho number
nud character of those who miiku it,
but when under uuy name they as
sume to dictate to, or dominate the
couscicnccH and control the votes of
others, their follow citizens, their
equals iu intolligeuco and integrity,
they impudently attempt an usurpa
tion of the rights of the people aud
open wide ti e door to intrigue, to
fraud and to corrupt political trulllc.
Tho people aro the depositories of
political power. Our system of gov
ernment assumes that they liavo in
telligence aud virtuo udequudo to the
trust, without the instruction of a
body of solf-uppoiutcd guardians aud
sense-keepers. Experience 1ms proven
that it is safer to trust to tho honest
instincts of tho whole constituency
than to Lhu scllisli ambition of u few.
Conventions or caucuses may uot
wisely ojj|l honestly, but tho only se
curity for their gobtl behavior is to
reserve to the people tho inalienable
right and duty of bolting. "Organi
zations" to establish parly tyranny or
perpetual o pnrty slavery are odious,
soou become corrupt aud intolerable,
and it is always gratifying to patriot
ism when iudignaut public virtue re
pudiates and overwhelms them.
Two yours ago Gen. Benjamin F.
Butler was the candidate of the "or
ganization" for congress in his district
A whole pooplo was rejoiced when tho
uuwH came over lhu wires that (hero
were independent voters enough in
tliut district to defeat hiiu and rebuke
the organization of which he was a til
BUmlurd bearer. This your ho iu
again u candidate for congress of the
"organization" in another district, aud
a thrill of plontiur* oveispread the na
tion when it was announced that an
independent candidate would in all
likelihood save tho next congress from
the disgrace anil contamination oi his
presence.
It is to bo hoped that an "organ
ized democracy" will never ihsooud so
low as "organized republicanism,” and
nominate lor a high place mi admitted
aud proven scuuudrel; but it you de
sire to dignify und enthrone over us a
systun which uiay load to such re
sults, you may count largely on my
patriotism, but 1 debiro you to draw
sparingly on my zoul for "oiguuiza-
tiou."
1 havo written tho above without
rofuronoo to the pending canvass iu
the 7th district. 1 have no desire to
meddle in u question which does not
personally interest me, but 1 will add
that if I were a*citizon of that district
tho fact llmt Dr. Felton is uu inde
pendent oandidato would not of itself
decide iuo to vote against him.
1 am olil enough to remember that
Geu. Jackson was uu independent
caudiduto for the presidency, and
none tho worse democrat becauso ho
ran agaidut tho nominee of his parly
and broke up mid utterly demolished
an organization which had ruled the
country with rtgal sway for tivomv-
four years. Tho owners, the stock
holders of that "orgauiziitiou," of
course, made uu uproar aud shouted
lustily, “great is Diana of the Ephe-
sittUB," but no one now can bo fouud
to call iu question Jackson’s patriot
ism or democracy.
1 havo kuovvu Dr. Felton from his
early manhood, nud that long ac
quaintance induces mo to tliiuk that
possibly you aro mistaken iu suppos
ing that ho is "the avowed colleague
as well as the candidate of the organ
ized radical party.” Iu times of high
political excitement charges will be
made on very questionable testimony,
and oven good men sometimes tnko
up a railing accufation against n
neighbor. I rernembor to liavo heard
very naughty things charged against
Qol. Jackson himself when lie was an
independent candidate.
But if, perchance, Dr. Felton is not
so good a man, so able u congressman,
so incomparable a democrat, as I have
thought him, there is no constituency
in this Bliito moro able to discover
his weakness and detect his shortcom
ings than tho quick wilted pooplo
of your district. No body of citizens
in this world have less need of nny
body to tell them whom to vote for.
I am very respectfully your fellow
citizen, H. V. M. Millkh.
To P. McClalchy, chairman, aud oth
ers, Marietta, Ga.
Who is CJeii. AvinT'i'. Wofford t
Editoii Record:—Gen. Win. Tatum
Wofford (not Col. Dr. nor Elector
John W. Wofford) and Dr. Felton had
a most glorious, enthusiastic meeting
in Marietta on .Saturday, 14th. Tho
crowd was large and thoroughly
awake to tho necessities of tho time.
Gen. Wofford is weeding n wido row
iu behalf of the people. I learn he
will address tho people of Cudartown
on Saturday, the 28th of October. It
is rumored that Folk county will give
him a,g|orious • welcome und regular
mass meding.
I propose to say something about
this grand old Confederate, whoso
immo is a household word iu tho
homes of Southern soldiers und uroud
the fireside of lonely widows and or
phan children, whose mil ural protector
and support fell by the side of Gen.
Wofford in tho battles of Virginia.
Hu was Ou'n their friend, their trustud
counsellor; lo-dn;/ ho is known
throughout this country as tho cham
pion and defender of widows and or
phan children.
Mr. Editor, it may not bo familiar
to you, but is to Barlow county, that
tlioro was a time in our history, just
after tho war, when life was very
blank—timos were exceedingly hard-—
families whoso head wun spared vveio
put to their shifts to g. t food aud
clothing. Many suffered, after fai h-
ful struggles to make hr. ad for their
hulplers ones. Good women, being
mothers, followed their milk cows in
lhu furrow of the field, "sowing iu
tears to reap iu j >y”—liltlo ciuldiu i
who had been tenderly nurtured, were
barefoot und iu luttois, while the
struggling fathers and hnsbumls
worked day nud night to koep g»uut
hunger from tho door. Just then,
when the poor widows and orphans
were helpless aud alone, with no de
fender uor protector save the almighty
father above—-when starvation threat
ened, and bleak poverty encircled
these families of brave men who died
to save their country, thou, in this ex
tremity, God moved Lhu heart of this
grand old chieftain to-bo their special
friend and defender.
lie took his own minus, greatly di
minished by calamities of war, ami ho
bought broad and divided with those
t uttering ones. IIo plead with his
neighbors; he strotehod lhu littlo sup
ply ho had to drivo away tho demon
of hunger that was glaring upon these
widows und orphans. When that
supply was gone, entirely exhnunted,
he left his home, paid his own expens
es to Washington city, laid tho case
.of thoHo snfftirors b.Toro u Republican
congress, and in: ueuokd uhkad for
the helpless families of these Confed
erate soldiers, who died on his right
hand and his left, ui d whoso bones
were left bleaching on a hundred bat
tlefields in Virginia. Think of it, Mr.
, Editor, this great soldier, aud soldier
of high rank, whoso face was ever lo
tho ouemy; vvh. su youthful patriotism
*b d him to servo his country in Mexi
co; whoso muturor zeal umde him en
ter tho army at the beginning of tho
war eud servo to its close; whose es
cutcheon was bright to tho last;
whoso courage never waned, and
when ho came homo, ho was welcomed
by the grateful tears and the undying
love of his countrymen. Yes! this
hero, this graud old soldier, laid aside
his honorable pride —fir htimUrd him-
si//' to lxu bi't'ad for tho starving chil
dren of tiis (load soldiers. Talk of
heroism ! This was tho ring of tho
true metal. Talk of greatness ! Snail
we not honor this glorious warrior,
who, forgetting self, has again laid
aside the comfort his charming home,
and ut the call of hi i people, ho has
come out to plead f r their favorite
sou, and to sustain his country iu
their rights as froetueu and hauest
citizens. Bautovv.
Editoii Kivohd:—I soo an article in
tbo Express of tho 14th of October
over the signature of “A Dubuey Dem
ocrat,” that is likely to mislead those
who aro not posted and informa l up
on the subject then spokeu of. * Dat
ing Democrat” is either ignoraut him- j
self or knowingly makes false state
ments that should not bo allowed to
pass without uotbe.
lu tho first place he gives tho vote,
or rather the majority for Colquitt iu
Folk county at 500, when his m ijor-
ity was only 656, and he says that
Polk gave a larger majority by 20
votes than Floyd county gave for
Colquitt. By cx training the election
rolurns of Floyd it will be soon that
Floyd gave Colquitt a majority of 808,
being larger by 277 vo.es than his
majority in Folk. Thus you will hog
that Colquitt’s vote in Floyd doos uot
hIjow a falling off of tho democratic
volo, aud "Dabney Democrat’s" state
ment that the fulling off is attributa
ble to "that great disorganize^ A. R.
Wright,,’ is false aud without founda
tion, and thus falls to tho ground his
first lesson.
Now, if for tho supposed voto of
Floyd, Judgo Wright is sensurable,
ought ho not to buvo honor and praiso
for tho increased majority? And ac
cording to tho same reasoning Dr.
Foltou lias tho honor (disorganizer us
ha is according to Dabney Democrat)
of having largely diminished the rad
ical voto iti this congressional district
for tho oloction returns show that
Norcross only received 2,4517 votes in
tho fourteen counties composing tho
7th congressional district, und Col
quitt received 13,788 votes, a majority
of 11,211 over Norcross, it being tho
largest domocraoio majority ever given
in this district in my recollection.
Iu relation to Col. June's election I
will only say that it was, iu my opin
ion, attributable to tho fuel that a
largo majority of tho Felton demo
crats voted f.»r him, they proforod his
oloction to that of Dover.
But tho grandest lesson to bo h urn-
1 from tho election is the awakening
of the Ring Democracy „to tho duty
mid peril of tho hour” (yos tho duty
of standing tip to tho ring, nud the
peril of having tho ring broken.) Of
those who went off from tho ring "af
ter Felton in 1874 on a mistaken idea,
many, many influential ones are com
ing back". Y» s and many, many in
fluential ones who adhered adhered to
the ring iu 1874 "aro uow fighting
manfully" for Dr. Foltou and tho glo-
ions principles of Domocracy, but not
Ring Democracy. Como, yo Ring

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of
vegetable alteratives — Stillingia, Man

of Potassium and iron, and is tho most
efficacious medicine yet known for
tho diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully com
bined, that tho full alterative effect of
each is assured, aud while it is so mild
ns t/> be harmless even to children, it is
still so effectual as to purge out from the
sysU'in those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians ull over the coun
try repose in St, prove their experience
of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence of the superiority of this Sar
saparilla over every other alterative
medicine. So generally is its superi
ority to any other medicine known, that
w - need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed aro strictly maintained.
