ITHE EXPRESS.
Ths EXPKiss is the firm defender and advo
cate of the rights and interests of the people of
all cla-ses, and the unrelenting opponent oi
all rings, cliques or combinations organized to
defeat the popular will in politics or to injure
any class ol'citizens materially.
CartersviUe, March 16,1876.
A VOICE FOB HON. H. V. JOHNSON.
To the Editor of the Express:
In the few past issues of jour paper we no
tice you speaking favorably of the name ol
one of Georgia’s purest .wisest and most pa
triotic and honest sons in connection with the
eoming gubernatorial campaign, to-wit: Ex-
Gov. H. V. Johnson. Permit me to say that
we need for the next Governor of Georj ia a
staunch Democrat, an honest man and a wise
statesman.
From the present outlook the taxable prop
erty of the State must, as it has done in the
last two years,continue to shrink in value; and
if that be the caseoni' taxable property, instean
ef being estimated at $260,600,000 will be esti
mated far below that sum. And yet the in
terest will still continue to have to be paid
en our $8,000,000 of public debt. The SIOO,OOO to
pay that interest w ill continue to le appro
priated for that purpose, and the $500,000 to
pay the running expenses of the State govern
ment. You will have a less sum to estimate
the per cent, of tax on. and hence taxation
must increase. You will continue still to ap
propriate your $20,000 sinking lund and your
$12,000 to defray the expenses of the executive
department of State; you will continue to de
mand sl2 000 to deiray the expense of the de
partment of superintendent of puoiic works,
an office for which there is no use—one tempo
rarily created in 1806, under Gov. Jenkin*,
to look after the repair* of the State House, the
Governor’s mansion, the penitentiary and
other public buildings at Milledgeville, after
fiey had passed through the destructive ordeal
of the war, but which has, from the reign of
Rufus the first till to-dav, become to he such a
hydra-headed monster on our t-easury. Your
$20,000 for the public printer must still be
wrenched from the people and drawn from the
treasury. And unless we get such a man lor
the text Governor of Georgia, as the one of
which I speak, the old Empire State of the
South, in my bumble opinion, must yield up
her proud old title to someone State more for
tunate. If Governor Johnson is the man to
steer the .hip of State clear of the evils that are
likely to come on us, I say with you, let us
place him at the head ef State. It is true when
the noble and patriotic old Roman was at the
head of State in our davs of prosperity we hail
no such enormous sum to defray the expense of
the executive department; no such contin
tgent fund.no superintendent oi public works
with SIB,OOO at his disposal, and many other
such extravagances; but all was well. All the
departments of government worked in one
economical tranquility, and the people were
all content, knowing they had a chief execu
tive as their agent in whom they had implicit
confidence.
Rut, it is said. Governor Johnson would not
accept the nomination for Governor. But,
perhaps. Mr. Editor, you know whereof you
speak, when you intimate in your editorials
that he would if the people desired and elected
him. We have generally found you correct
In all your public expresstons. This feeling
that he would not accept the office probably
arises fiv™. iv. f*e.t that he would not. enter a
scramble to obtain the office. But tu™ w. nAce
must seek him, an 1 that if the people wanted
him they would call him to serve them. We
want the man for Governor that enters into no
combinations, makes no political trades, han
dles no political wires to get the position; but
when he is qualified and inaugurated,we want
him to enter upon executive duties under no
pledges to obtain the plane, but to go there un
fettered to appoint men to office trom qualifi
cation and merit, and not from previous pledge
or obligation.
Under our present constitution the Execu
tive patronage is extensive. He has great
powers, and if the people desire good and
faithful public servants, they must see to it
that they get the man for Governorwhom they
make themselves; not one who is made by a
few aspirant* for office under previous pledge
aud promise. Let the people take up the man
jvibftpx f b<rr.. k, Jt/‘'TT.v > gubd uirV'T*As'liiudrlii.fr"'rme
that we make the Governor, and will not have
him ma<te tor us. Let the office seek the man,
because he is the man to discharge its duties,
and not the man with his small halo of friends,
who works foe the office, and thus reverse the
Democratic o-Uerot things. Mocntainaeii.
Amid thestrifa and confusion cre
ated by the gubernatorial scramble,
which seems to be disgusting the
people generally, there comes up a
desire from various parts of the State
that the Democratic party of Geor
gia may centre on some man for Gov
ernor whose statesmanship, integrity
and reputation as a true Democrat
will combine to unite and harmon
ize the various factions of the party
in the approaching campaign. The
minds of the people who have no in
terest in politics except for the pub
lic good naturally turn to Mr. John
son as that man. They see in his
Character and record a representative
nlan of the highest merit and the
most profound statesmanship. They
recognize in him a gentleman of the
old school of public men who holds
to the idea in republican government
that “theoffice should seek the man
and not the man the office.” They
know he would not condescend to
enter into a scramble nor become an
aspirant for the office. They know,
also, that while he asserts most posi
tively that he does not desire to re
enter politics and has no wish to as
sume the responsibilities of the chief
executive office of the State, he would
not and could not, as a true patriot
and Democrat, ignore the will of the
people if they should see fit to call
him to those responsibilities for the
good of the State and the people.
The writer of the foregoing com
munication is a prominent gentle
man of Cherokee Georgia, and faith
fully reflects the sentiments of hund
reds of the quiet and substantial men
of this section as any one may find
out who will take the trouble to
know what the real people desire.
When “Mountaineer” refers to the
necessity of an economical adminis
tration of the government and the
shrinkage of the State’s resources and
the increasing inability of the people
to meet the taxes, ho strikes a popu
lar chord; and when ho points out
Mr. Johnson as the man who, as ex
ecutive of the State,would inaugerate
the necessary economy, he strikes an
other chord just as popular, because*
both ideas impress the minds of the
people as synoinous terms in their
unity and significance.
The nomination of no man in the
State would arouse a greater enthusi
asm among the people outside of the
aspirants for office,and Mr. Johnson’s
known character forbids any
thought that he would go into office
Under pledge to any one. He would
not assume such responsibility under
special obligations to individuals for
his election,pledged to liquidate such
obligation by the bestowment of of
fice. He would go into office only
to sorvt- the people and to advance the
interest and prosperity of his State.
He would have punish,
or fneuefs fa toward. Hu ftnifd add
would not go into chair
except at the bidding of the people;
and while he occupied it he would
be the servant of the people, and not
the distributor of the spoils o f office
to a favored few. It is for this reason
and for the purpose of restoring Dem
ocratic unity and harmony, that there
is a strong and growing desire in the
State to see Mr. Johnson the candi
date of the people for Governor, to
be elected by the people only to serve
the people and his State, free and
untrammeled from all personal obli
gations.
The move for the nomination of
Mr. Johnson for Governor has not
sprung from office seekers—from
men|who expect gubernatorial favors.
It comes from men who do not de
sire office and arc opposed to ali
rings, cliques and combinations at
tempted to forestall the popular sen
timent. Such is our knowledge of
he move. The ment who are
insr Mr. Johnson for Governor would
S'*orn to ask pledges of him as ve
hemently and indignantly as he
would refuse to make pledges. The
movement is on a higher and more
exalted plane of polities than for self
ish purposes on the part of those en
gaged in it. It is intended to be
movement of the people if the peo
ple endorse it; if they do not it is not
proposed to enter ascramble to make
it successful. In short if the people
desire Herschel V. Johnson for Gov
ernor and express that desire in the
nominating convention and at the
ballot box, and in the interest of the
public good, he cannot and will not,
as we believe,refuse to obey the voice
the people, however much he mav
be indisposed to assume such
bilitty. He is too good a Democrat
and truea patriot to shrink from pub
lie duty when called to it by the voice
of the people. The only question re
mains, do the people of Georgia de
sire Herschel V. Johnson as their
next Governor?
POLITICS AS A PROFESSION,
In former times politics was a sci
ence. It meant the discussion of
governmental policy as it affected the
general interests of the country and
the welfare of the people. In short
er terms it meant political economy
in theory and practice. Politics that
did not look to the evolvement of
the best interests of government was
a fraud and an outrage upon the des
tiny of the country. Men, as profes
sional pliticians were those who stud
ied politics as a science with the view
vf iting the common interests
of the country by their resea ret Itrts
giving to government the results of
labored thought both in theory and
practice.
But the phase of politics has great
ly changed within the past fifteen
years. Politics means now the pro
curement of office and the making
the most out of it financially. The
result is he who is the most shrewd
and unscrupulous in pulliig the
wires and elevating himself to office
by his own cunning is now pro
nounced the best politician. If
ctier jritZZIJLf flTl ."ifjLlzli* Hi IJ*I '
est—is successful, those who practice
it are at once pronounced successful
politicians.
The consequence is political moral
ity, in most cases, means sharp trick
ery and the spoils of office. To se
cure success on this line rings,
cliques and combinations are formed
to carry certain points for personal
ends. And why is this so? It is be
cause the people have ceased to take
interest in their own interests. To
two-thirds of them a call fora politi
cal meeting is unheeded. The profes
sional politicians never forget a polit
ical meeting. Nor do they ever neg
lect to be present and only to sub
serve their ends. The result is that
the people, who neither want or as
pire to office, leave their dearest and
best interests to the “management”
of ambitions and unscrupulous “pol
iticians” so-called, who work alone
for personal interest aud self-aggran
dizement.
We refer to these facts hut for one
purpose. That purpose is to arouse
the great body of the people to look
after the intererests of self-govern
ment. No people are self-governed
who neglect to look after the ends
and objects for which free govern
ment is established. Free govern
ment is a misnomer when the people
become indifferent to that proper or
ganization which reflects, the senti
ments of the people and give force to
their will in the regulation of “law
and order,” the first law of heaven
itself.
With this view of politics as a pro
fession the people themselves are re
sponsible for its perversion to the
ends of selfish aggrandizement. If
the people are true to themselves the
great and noble science of politics
becomes the lever by which the pub
lic weal is promoted and public mo*
rality is maintained.
So when political matters are to be
directed, it is the duty of the people
to he present to give honest disposi
tion of such direction. When public
meetings are to be held they should
he there to see that the politics of the
day are not perverted tc personal
aggrandizement.

created by the late war, and that all

CHEROKEE GEORGIA.
The visit of our Northwestern
friends to Georgia is too hurried for
them to know much of our country
from what litt e they see of it in a
rapid passage. They only see our
people at tne principal towns where
they have on their Sunday clothes.
The country they do see is upon the
railroads which are usually built
upon ridges from which the country
is seen from the most disadvanta
geous circumstances. Even if they
kept their heads stuck out at the
car windows all the way from Chat
tanooga to Atlanta, they could not
approximate in the remotest degree
anything like a proper conception of
Cherokee Georgia. It would require
a week of travel over Bartow to even
wive an idea of the great natural re
sources of the county. Their present
trip cannot be more than a holiday
run through the State, which gives
them but a taste of Southern hospi
tality by meeting around the festal
board over smoking viands and ex
niliarating wine, and employ the
time in a hurried manner, discussing
in general terms the resources of the
country. If our Northwestern
friends will all subscribe for The
Express we promise to give them
more information about Cherokee
Georgia in a year than they can
learn in a hundred such trips; and
it will only cost them two dollars a
y-ar for each copy postage paid.
To know this section of Georgia
our Northwestern friends would have
to spend some time with us. Then
we could show them the most fertile
agricultural lands in our valleys upon
the continent, while our hills are the
receptacles of inexhaustible deposits
of all kinds of minerals. If they
could see our beds of iron ore of the
best quality, yielding from fifty to
sixty percent, of pure iron, in inex
haustible quantities, and requiring
only from fourteen to fifteen dollars
per ton, to reduce it to pig metal,
they would then begin to have some
conception of the vast resources of
Cherokee Georgia; but they would
not reaiize the extent of these until
they see that in addition to these we
have gold, copper, slate, maganese,
baryta, lime, cement; and yet all
these minerals are found in the
gratest profusion within twenty-five
miles of CartersviUe, the most thrifty j
town on the State road. Here we
raise corn, cotton, wheat, oats, fpota-1
toes, and, in fact, everything neces
sary to a people’s prosperity.
Our Northwestern friends may
•> “why are we pot rich?” The
ausWsr is we are too poor,
the times are too unpropitious to se
cure the capital to develope these re
sources. If they will bring their
money down this way and settle
among us, and aid in the develop
ment of these mines of wealth, iSiey
will find openings for investments
for the future unequaled anywhere
else upon this continent. They could
not do better with their surplus
money which they can not at present
profitably employ. If our North
iu ...'ii hi sv'ijju' uf" people will'take
great pleasure in extending them ev
ery opportunity to see our country as
it is.
We have the most lavorable cli
mate in the world for all kinds of
agricultural products. Our latitude
I is not too low for the cereals nor too
j high for cotton. AH that is produced
in higher and lower latitudes meet
here in luxuriant growth and pro
duction. It is the dividing line, as
it were, between the cotton belt and
the grain growing regions of the con
tinent. Thus occupying the medium
belt of agricultural production, the
hand of nature, with seeming prodi
gality, has scattered blessings in the
most profuse abundance in the shape
of mineral wealth. Theseare facts to
be learned by our Northern friends
when they come to see us in a bus
iness way, and we tell them that
when they do come and see for
themselves they will exclaim that
the half of the richness of our pos
sessions has not been told them. It
w r ould require more time and space
than we have now to dispose of to
even give them an idea of this sec
tion of Georgia.
Ami in addition to all these agri
cultural and mineral advahlages we
have a system of river lines that only
need improvement to give us cheap
transportation to carry off our pro
ductions to the channels of commerce
at most profitable returns for our la
bor. We have hope that the Gov
eenment, at no distant day will grant
the necessary aid for the opening of
our rivers to successful navigation.
The results to follow such improve
ments, both to the people and the
government, cannot be over-esti
mated. The appropriations com
pared with the advantages to fol
low would be a mere bagatelle in
comparison.
And in conclusion we can say to
our Northwestern friends, if any of
them w r ill come among us. and cast
their lots with us, with the view' of
future prosperity for all, they wilt
receive at our homes a cordial wel
come and every encouragement for
good investments either in agricul
ture or the development of mineral
wealth.
We print a hnndred or so of extra
copies of The Express to-day (on
half sheet) to circulate among our
Northwestern visitors. We should
have presented them with a full
sheet but did not have enough of the
outside of the paper printed.

THE EXPRESS,
IyNDER the present management, is fast
J growing into popularity as its rapidly
increasing circulation Hilly 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
mder somewhat adverse'circumstanc s, with
r ',i<e impressions made in advance of his
coming, to his detriment, and finding the pa
per nearly “run down,” the present proprietor
feils himself under many grateful obligations
to numerous friends for the aid they have
given him in reviving this once popular pa
ler. Tnese hare givn to its circulation an
impetus which it is hoped will make ita'power
in this section of Georgia for good—for the
building up of our materi il interests
and for the promotion of the cause of true and
utuleliled Democracy.
The Express
Will ever he found the true and unflinching
friend of tho People, the opponent of al
cliques, rings or combinations, if there be any
such organizations to deceive, mislead or to
thwart the popular will, in all political mat
fleet popular sentiment 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,
a id seek to inculcate at all times anil under
.til circumstances, the great and cardinal
principles which underlie and form the basis
>f all free government. Opposed to all inno
vations upon the principles of the Democ
racy.
The Express
Will be found ‘‘now and forever,” a Demo
cratic journal of ‘‘the straightest sect” without
■t shadow of turning either to the right or left
—believing as we do, that the happiness of Un
people, and the prosperity of this country de
pend upon a restoration ot the old landmarks
of our lathers—a return to first principles,
alone can retain us a free government, and an
honest administration ol the political affairs ot
tlie country.
The Express
will never omit any occasion to set forth the
great advantages of Cherokee Georgia. Its
aim will be to advance by all means in its
power, the material prosperity of this section
of Georgia, tuvored as it is, with a climate, the
finest in the world, with a soil unsurpassed,
and with agricultural and mineral resources
unequaled—inhabited by an honest add thrifty
people, ietel ligent and worthy of all prosperi
ty. To develop these sources of wealth, and to
make Chererokee Georgia the garden spot of
the country will be umoug the chief efforts of
this journal.
The Express,
therefore appeals to an honest and discrimi
nating public for that patronage which shall
plaeei t in our power, to present a good pa
per, creditable to the State in which it is pub
lished and a special pride to the people of liar
tow county. Rapidly overcoming he false
and intgmous, the weak and silly charge that
this journal was to he, or is to be, or it 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
thy or by efforts to create false prejudice
against others. If
The Express
cannot win popoular favor upon the ground
of merit, tne sooner it becomes extinct the
better it will be for (lie popular good. There

and true to right and justice, are respectfully
