it behooves a free people to practice also that eternal

Reform is necessary to rebuild and establish in the

ing It the controlling tho issue ufthc elections, nnd lining II
nliove Ihe two false issues with which tbe office-holding
class ami tho parly in lw»sr»r seek to smoother it—
1. The false issue with which they would enkindle sec
tarian striie in respect to the public schools, of which thv
establishment and support la-longs exclusively to the
several States am! which the Democratic part has cher
ished from their foundation, and la resolved to maintain
without prejudice or preference for any class, sect or creed,
and without largesses from the Treasury to anv.
2. The false Issue hr which they seek toligli't anew the
dying embers of sectional hale between kindred people
once estranged, but now reunited In one indivisible Re
public and common destiny.
Reform is necessary In the civil service. Experience
proves that efficient, economical conduct of tho Govern
mental business is not Impossible it Us civil service lie
subject lo change at every election, be a prize fought for at
the ballot-box, lie a brief reward of party seal, instead of
pests of honor a*-lgned for proved comjietency, and held
for fidelity,*, ah* public employ ; that the dispeoslngof
patronage xboiiM in either,!» a lax upon Ihe time of our
public men. ndf-the Inurnment of their ambition. Here
promises ffifsified in the performtaaMi attest that the patty
III power can work out no pmcUeal or Military reform.
Reform is necessary esW mMw la the higher grades of
the public service. IWIdretta, Vloej-residents. Judges,
Senators, Representative, CaUitpi officers, these and all
others in authority are the people 1 *servants. Their offices
are not a private pen)Ulalte: they are n public trust.
When the annals of this Republic show the disgrace and
censure of a Vice-President; a lata Speaker of the House
of Representatives marketing his rulings as a preaiding
officer; three Senators profiting secretly by their votes as
law-makers; five chairmen of Ihe leading committees of
tho House ur Representatives exposed to jobbery; a late
Secretary of tbe Treasury forcing balances in the public
accounts; a tala Attorney-General misappropriating pub
lic funds; a Secretary of the Nary enriched or enriching
' • la, by percentage levied off the profits of contractors
ala department; aa Embassador to England censured
Ishonorable speculation; and tho President's Piivate
ary barely escaping conviction upon trial for guilty
ld«y In frauds upon the revenue; a Secretary of War
Impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors—tha
:st rat ion la complete, that the first step in Reform
b* the people's choice of honest men from another
, jest the disease of ono political organisation Infest
ady politic, and lest, by making no change of men or
partita, we get no change of measures nnd no real Reform.
All these abuses, wrongs and Crimea, the product of
sixteen yean ascendancy of the Republican parly, create
a necessity for Reform confessed by Republicans them
selves ; hut their reformen are voted down In convention
and displaced from the Cabinet. Tbe party's mam of
honest voters la powerless to resist the SO.OUi office-hold
ers, its leaders and guides.
Reform can only be had by a peaceful, Civil Revolution.
W* demand a change of system, a change or administra
tion, n change of patties, that we may have n change of
measures an J of men.

to many of the States of this Union, particu
larly among the Southern States. But
in the case of Georgia we are prepared
to present it as an exception. W rested from
the misrule of a few years back, we can now
boast a less State tax than any of our South
ern sister States, if not less than any other
State id the Union. Still even under this
blessing we are oppressed and burthened
with too great taxes. Then why this condi
tion of aflairs? The Legislature of Georgia
has been time and again advised of this
matter by the people throughout the State,
in plain and uumistakubie resolutions passed
in their primary ('(inventions. People of
Georgia and of Clarke county especially, let
us repeal it, our Slate taxes are test than
those of any other Southern State, and if
not less than those of any other State in the
Union, at hast quite as reasonable. Then
tlie oppression must come from our local,
county and municipal taxes. This is a truth
which cannot bo denied.
Then we ask you where is the remedy.
Tho Legislatuie of your State, while it
has the power to confine your local taxes
to a given per centum upon the State tax,
till it has no const itutional right or power to
say how much of this you shall assess for
county or municipal putposes. The Legia.
laturo cannot regulate your expenses upon
roads, bridges, court-houses etc. This comes
within the jurisdiction of our Grand Juries,
which are the true legislative bodies ot tbe
respective counties. To these organizations
you must look for relief, and of these yon
roust demand and require reform and relief.
Aud now in concluding this already too
lengthy article let ua suggest, that under
tbe present mode adopted by our.Grand
Juries you cannot expect the needed reform
and relief. However true, patriotic and
interested your jurymen may^be in the wd-
fare of the county they represent, they can
not under the present eystem of conducting
the business of their bodies, do their duty
by the people. Over-run with the inciden
tal business of court week, they have really
but little time to look into the more impor
tant aflairs of county government. Their.
