March 9,1876.
THE DEMOCRATIC OCT CO OK.
t If the Democratic party improper!\
handled in the approaching contest
and - is not misled by false leaders
is no reasou why the nex
President should not be named a
St. Louis ou the 27th of June. Then
is every reason to believe that th*
man nominated at St. Louis will l
the successful candidate. The nomi
thtUm there made will be irresisti-
ble before the people if no mistep is
made either before, at the conven
tion or after it has assembled. L
the Democracy is to be defeated it
result from bad management.
Ntver did a party have greater ad
vantage in the dislodgment of an op
ponent from power than is now in
the hunds of the Democracy. Noth
fng but the most foolhardy policy
can prevent the sueeess of the party,
and none but traitors or false and
Impotent leaders in our ranks car
defeat a grand Democratic triumph.
\Ve have such leaders, so-called,
have bad counsellor in the par
fit-. We have Democrats among s
who are only so in name, and are oi
“the fold of the faithful” only to se
cure place arid position, and some ol
them we fear would betray the
party for a few pieces of silver. We
have Democrats—leading men—who
are in the interest of the bondholders
. Who would, for hire, betray us into a
false policy in order to defeat us in
the interest of those bondholders.
The bondholders and the national
oamv mo "'in he at St. Louis
in great strength to shape the policy
oltbe party in their own interests.
If tre party should he committed to
inline of policy in favor of the money
lords of the country as against the
people, w§ shall be again defeated.
The-bondholders were our enemies
in ISCB and the bondholders and the
na'tiomU bank men were our enemie i
in 1872, and these are no less our
epyAies in 1876. These are the in
fluences against which the party
must beware. We saw whit the.v
did in Ohio last year. The bond
holders and national hank men on
Wall stereet- defeated old Bill Allen
—a Olvio to the Republicans.
If the aims of the shylucs: can uc
defeated at St. Louis, we have the
Presidential game in our own hands.
The platform should be a clear ex
pression of Democratic principles set
ting forth the political tenets of the
party in language that cannot he mis
taken, arraigning the Republican
party for its usurpation of power, its
disregard of fundamental law’, its cor
rupt administration of the govern
ment, seeking to subvert the rights
of States and the people and to over
throw the constitution in order to
effect the purposes of its leaders to
retain power at the sacrifice of every
principle of public lUw*rtv —it
fim .udmoeratie platform to be con
structed at St. Louis shall make such
an arraignment of the Republican
party there is no power upon earth
thafc 5 can prevent the seating of a
Democratic President on the 4th of
March next.
The recent developments of corrup
tion emanating from and with the
cabinet of President Grant show a
degree of consummate villainy under
the very roof of the White House,
thj? Republican party cannot carry if
the people are true to themselves. If
the Republican party can survive
such a record it is because the people
have become slave# and servile vas
sals of power. And if the Democratic
party does not succeed it is because
there is nb sense of justice in the pop
ular sentiment of the country.
Therefore, the great work of the St.
Louis convention is to steer clear of
th§ bondholders and national bank-
Rupubliean party upon Hi o’ Id'iormY
ties of its usurpation upon the con
stitution and the corruption of its
leaders,
Stich a policy will raise a howl of
indignation that will overthrow the
Repubiicons in every department of
the public service, from the President
down. What we need for a revival
of the better da.vs of the Republic is
a return to the first principles of hon
esty in tee government and the ad
ministration of public affairs upon
thedfrre of genuine Democracy di
vested of all the fungus engendered
upon the party in 1872 by the adop
tion of “the philosophy of Greeiey-
, 'TH* aAVANJtAH NEWS.
And now the Atlanta Constitution
is after the Savannah JYeics as to its
“crookedness” in regard to the State
road lease. It gives copies of two re
ceipts from the Smea amounting to
1411.38 for advertising matter advo
cating the lease. We shall wait to
hear from the News in reply. If we
wefe a goesser, we should guess the
matter in the News was designated
as advertisements. We will not
guess, however, but wilt leave the
Neibs to tell how it was. In this
matter we accuse no one of inten
tional corruption. We only assort
that it is a theory of journalism
about which we have learned noth
ing in our humble experience of a
quarter of a century. It‘may be all
rigl\t. Behanged if we can tell any
thing about it.
Since the foregoing was written
and m type \ye have received the
JYeir/. as we expected, that paper
states that, in publishing the articles
favoring the State road lease, they
werq_ as advertisements and
not'givenlp contributed matter; so
that all readers saw they were paid
for. Further, the Neics refers to its
opposition to and denunciation of the
lease.as fraud in its editorial col
umns. That relieves the News from
any charge that it was hired to advo
cate the lease. The mistake of other
journals was that they published the
article# referred to for pay that they
EX-GOVERNOR JUllN*a>.
“Chatham,” a correspondent Of tht
■savannah News, says:
“It is useless lor a m wspaper correspond
•Mis to suggest the honored r.anic* of that emi
cut Georgian ex-Govcrnor Herscbel V
Johnson, tor nomination as a candidate f<>
Joretnor, as he informs me that under n<
iron Mini ntw would be aeecpt.”
What Governor Johnson doubtless
lid say was that he would, under n<
:ircu instances, consent to beau ax
oirant for Governor. This is as mucl
ts Mr. Johnson has yet said, whicl
‘Chatham” erroneously construed
dr. Johnson is a patriot and not a
mere office-seeker. We know full
veil he would not enter into a scram
ole for any position, nor would lit
send out political lackeys to work up
*he situation for him. Jlndeed, wt
further know that he does not desire
•o be Governor. He has no political
unbition to gratify, and greatly pre
fers to be left out of all consideration
is to political office, and does not de
sire to re-enter polities. We say we
/enow these facts to be true.
But, as we have said, Gov. John
son is a patriot. If it is to the good
f his State and the unity and har
mony of the Democratic party, now
scattered into detachments in Geor
gia, through the active partisanship
of aspirants, and it is the desire ol
the people, that he should make the*
race and express that desire without
any “managing” on his part, we do
not see how Gov. Johnson could or
.vould refuse to serve the people who
have so honored him in the past. As
a patriot Gov. Johnson could not say
peremptorily and irrevocably that
“under no circumstances would he
accept” a nomination for Governor,
although these words are put into
ni9 mouth by newspaper writers who
are interested in the election of other
parties.
These words, writers so interested
know they can put into his mouth
..tiu tmjmnitv for the reason that
Mr. Johnson could not condescend to
correct them without compromising
his purpose of interfering in no way
with the Democratic party in making
a selection of a candidate for Gov
ernor, at this early day in the can
vass.
That Mr. Johnson may have said
to “Chatham” that he. would not be
an aspirant for Governor we have
every reason to believe, but that “un
der no circumstances would he ac
eeptt” a nomination we do most se
riously question—for as we have said
Mr. Johnson is a patriot, and is also
a true Democrat, and cannot refuse
aanaiaiuntly, we think, to accept a
nomination under circumstance* im
peratively demanding sacrifice on
the part of a patriot and true Demo
crat. There may be circumstances
about which we know nothing, that
would make his acceptance impossi
ble, but these would have to be ex
treme.
As we have heretofore stated we
only express our belief that Mr.
Johnson would more nearly unite
the Democratic party than any man
yet suggested for Governor. We
say, also, that we express the feel
ings of many of Georgia’s best eiti
_ ....... .tv we snouill oe well

pleased to see Mr. Johnson Governor
again. This sentiment is a strong
one again. Strong one in the
State, .although certain news
papers affect great ignorance
in regard to it, and have not
the candor to allude to it in their
“make up” of the popular sentiment
of the State.
THE GCBEENATOIUAL DETACH
MENTS.
A squadron of cavalry in detach,
ments are not very effective in
charging the solid columns of the
enemy, but if the squadron is con
centrated the result is overpowering.
Just imagine the Democratic squad
ron in Georgia scattered in detach
ments just about the time we are
about to charge the solid phalanx of
a powerful enemy in our approach
ing contest for the Presidency. The
Georgia Democracy is a squadron
which is desired to be thrown with
the common enemy. It is about
time these forces were being mar
shaled in solid front to make the
grand charge for public liberty. But
what do we see ?
There’s Colquitt with a detuch
rnent here!
There’s Hardeman with a detach
ment there!
There’s Smith with a detachment
yonderlj
There’s James with a detachment
posted on the outskirts; and
There are about a half-dozen hov
ering around the ragged edges with
their little squads !
All expecting to bo Governor of
Gor#ia, and are engaged in tne ad
mirable sport of cross-firing at each
other and enfatacling each other’s
ranks, hoping a richochett may take
off all the heads of the balance of the
gubernatorial corporal-! and leave
him a clear track for promotion.
Now put all these belligerant gu
bernatorial corporals into a bull pen
of about two acres, and let them
fight it out. This will leave the
Democratic party, unembarrassed, to
nominate a candidate for Governor
who will concentrate the forces of
the party to do battle in the great
charge upon Radicalism in the Pres
idential contest.
There is a feature cf the Atlanta
Constitution we commend to those
papers who have already nominated
their candidates for Governor. J;.ce
a week we find-in that paper a com
pilation of extracts from various pa
pers in regard to the gubernatorial
question, giving all parties and all
shades of opinion a hearing and a
showing in its columns. If a papr
wants to let its readers know the
drift of the press on this subject, we
do not know of a better way than is
practiced by the Constitution.
There are nine men standing at
the gubernatorial door, and they all
say with one voice: “I’ll take sugar
in mine !” and that, toe, wuvu there's
TIUS OUIINTKV’S SHAME.
The committee of the House to in
vestigate the expenditures of the
var department of the General Gov
ernment brought to light last week
>ne of the most astounding develop
Dents of official corruption on the
part of the secretary, W. W. Belknap,
it appears that Mr. Belknap has
>een using his office for the most
mercenary ends. He is charged, and
confesses hisguilt, with having made
certain appointments in which he
has realized great profits. The main
charge is that of selling the post
tradership at Fort Sill, to a Mr
Marsh, for SIO,OOO with an amnity ol
d,OOO for the same, which he’has reg
darly received up to December last.
This piece of corruption was work
ed through Belknap’s wife, to whom
the most of the money has been paid.
When the committee was about to
be brought to light. Belknap tendered
his resignation as secretary of war,
tnd the President accepted the same
“with regret” on the very morning
the committee were about to make
their report to the house. This coup
de tat was intended to shield the sec
retary from impeachment, and to
that extent Gen. Grant should be
held responsible by the people, if he
cannot by law, for his conduct in at
tempting to shield a criminal from
proper punishment.
No event in the history of the gov
ernment has ever produced such a
profound t xciternent- It has startled
the whole country ; and the investi
gation of the various departments ol
the government now in progress by
committees is unearthing the most
stupendous frauds upon the part of
Federal officials. wtmt the end may
be time alone can develop. But for
having a Democratic house these no
torious streams of corruption would
never have been discovered, and a
few more years of Radical rule would
have bankrupted the country and
brought the American government
into the most complete disgrace and
the people to ruin.
We do not endorse the course pur
sued by some writers in regard to
Gov. Smith. We refer to the publi
cation of rumors of shortcomings in
his administration. Now, we are
Dot an advocate of his re election.
We are not a third-termer, though
we do say that Gov. Smith has not
had two full terms, but another elec
tion would start him on a third term,
and we are opposed to the principle
of third term even in the remotest
ihpo-rpp. But what we started out to
say is, that if Gov. smitn uno
guilty of wrong let the acts he speci
fied. If it is desired to beat him for
office let it be done on principle,
upon the facts of his shortcomings,
and not upon mere street rumors and
back room gossip. It facts exist let
us have them brought to the light
and not retail them in the dark where
no defense can he set up.
There seems to be the signs of a
little squabble as to which county
has the right to name the Democrat
ic • c... cue oenaiui milli
this district. We are surprised at
this. We have understood all the
time, and the understanding is so
general that there need be no doubt
of it, that to Floyd county belongs
the right under the system of rota
tion. Let us have no squabble about
that,if weadhere to the rule|adopted.
Asa matter of principle, however,
we regard “rotation” a great hum
bug. What we want is the best man
we can select. We have no doubt
though, that Floyd will give us a
good man.
In our choice for Governor we
have no other object in view than to
secure theablest man for the position,
and one whose ability and statesman
ship would give our State govern
ment a prestige abroad worthy of
our grand old State. To do this we
do not think it right or politic to at
tempt to blacken the character of any
man or to cast odium upon his name.
Such is the tactics of small men who
are only the supple vassals of those
they serve.
We publish a card from Col. R. A.
Alston, late public printer for the
State on the first page of The Ex
press. This we do by request, and
that our friend may have as full a
hearing as we can give him. We do
not hesitate to say that Col. Alston
has our sympathies in his troubles.
He is a wholesouled man. We think
he has acted hastily in resigning his
position.
There is not less chan a half dozen
men in Georgia who are winding up
their private affairs with the expecta
tion of being the next Governor of
Georgia,and five times as many more
whoarehoping to be the compromise
man in the great scramble. All
sorts of subterfuges are to be reported
to to nominate somebody from this
or that section.
We understand promises have been
made to carry the seventh and ninth
districts in a certain direction for
governor. If the people are as free
and independent as we think they
are, we do not believe they will al
low the politicians and office-seekers
to transfer them at will. Let the
people act for themselves.
There was a rumur in town yester
day that Hon, S. S. Cox, of New
York, had been killed at Washing
ton by Hon. James G. Blaine, on
Tuesday night. There was nothing
of it in the press dispatches, and tiie
whole thing is n hoax.
Colquitt, Hardeman, James and
Smith are already in the pool, and
there about a dozen anxious, waiting
souls standing upou the water’s edge
waiting for a dip!
Now all these gubernatorial aspi
rants can’t be nominated or elected,
and yet every one of them thinks he
is the man for the times and is “sure !
to win.”
The gubernatorial disease is con
tagious. About fifty cdbOJ will

THE NASHVILLE AMERICAN
We have been receiving and read
ing the Ainerican, published at Nash
ville, and can heartily commend it
as a newspaper in the true sense of
the term. The daily has all the asso
ciated press telegraph matter, both of
the east and west, and all daily im
portant foreign news. It is accurate
in commercial and financial reports,
which are full to date in its daily,
semi-weekly and weekly editions.
It also has an agricultural editor spe
cially employed for that department,
who is Dr. Lee, the most distinguish
ed writer on these subjects in the
country, making it equivalent to any
agricultural paper. It also contains
a very great variety of literary, gen
eral news and miscellaneous matter,
and is worth its price in gold to any
family or business man. Address
the American , Nashville, Tenn.
Every little man wants a little
office, and he’ll support any man for
Governor who will hang out a prom
ise of it to him.
Young man ! don’t be a candidate
for Governor! It is

For man’s illusion giveu.”

tHE EXPRESS,
XyXDER the present management, is* fast
J growing into popularity as its rapidly
increasing circulation lully attests; and if the
present ratio of increase continues, it will soon
have the largest circulation of any weekly
paper in the State. Coming to Cartersville
under somew hat adverse circumstances, with
false impressions made in advance of his
coining, to his detriment, and finding the pa
per nearly “run down,” the present proprietor
feels himself under many gratelul obligation*
to numerous nan..- *>,,• aid they have
given him in reviving this once popular im
pel-. These have given to Its circulation an
impetus which it is hoped will make it a'power
in this section of Georgia for good—for the
building up of our material interests
and for the promotion of the cause of true and
undefiled Democracy.
The Express
AVill ever be found the true and unflinching
friend ot tin, p.o P u, the opponent of al
cliques, rings or combinations, if there be any
cufh organizations to deceive, mislead or to
thwart the popular will, in ail political mat
ters. It will be the aim of the editor to re
flect popular sentimeut upon all public ques
tions, when that sentiment is true to free gov
ernment and public liberty.
The Express,
however, will oppose all attempts to pervert
the true principles of the Democratic party,
and seek to inculcate at all times and under
all circumstances, the great and cardinal
principles which underlie and form the basis
of all free government. Opposed to all inno
vations upon the principles of the Democ
racy.
The Express
Will bo found “now and forever,” a Demo
craticjournalof “the straightest sect” without
a shadow of turning either to the right or left
—believing as we do, that the happiness of the
people, aiM the prosperity of this country de
pend upon * restoration of the old landmarks
of our fathers—a return to first principles,
alone can retain us a free government, and an
honest administration ofthe political affair* ot
the country.
The Express
will rto-roi- nmit anr occasion to set forth the
great advantage* of Cherokee Georgia. n s
aim will be to advance by all means in its
power, the material prosperity of this section
of Georgia, isvored as it is, with a climate, the
11 nesc in the world, with a soil unsurpassed,
and with agricultural and mineral resources
unequaled—inhabited by an honest add thrifty
people, intelligent and worthy of all prosperi
ty. To develop these sources of wealth, and to
make Ciiererokee Georgia the garden spot of
the country will be among the chief eflorts of
this journal.
The Express,
therefore appeals to an honest and discrimi
nating public, for that patronage which shall
place it in our power, to present a good pa
per, creditable to the State in w hich it is pub
lished and a special pride to the people of Bar
tow county. Rapidly overcoming 'he raise
and infamous, the weak and silly charge that
this journal was to be, or is to be, or ta the or
gan of a ring—an imposition on general intel
ligence—
The Express
will be found in the end a Journal that will
not stoop to subserviency in any form—that it
is a free and honest paper that will rest its
prosperity upon its own merits, and will never
seek to build up itself by imploring sympa
thv or by efforts to create false prejudice !
against others. If
The Express
cannot win popoular favor upon the ground
of merit, the sooner it becomes extinct the
better it will be for the popular good. There
fore all who nre willing to trust an honest pur
pose and effort to present a respectable jour

and true to right ami justice, are respectfully
