THE EXPRESS;
Thk Exi‘Ki:sa is the Ann defender and advo
cate of the rights and interests of the people of
all classes, arid tile unrelenting opponent of
all rtif&s, rTtrfr.es or combinations organized to
teieat the popular will in politic* or to ippuc
any class of citizens materially.
Cf.rtersvme, May 18, 1878.
To Our Subscribers.
Parties who have not paid their subscriptions
to Thk Express will greatly favor us with a
remittance. We are in great need of the
money to eary on our business. If they can’t
pay all, let them pay a part, as much as they
can.
Those who have given due bills for subscrlp
tiens will plea.-e come forward and settle.
the GI'BEKXATOIUAX ASPIRAWTS.
Tiie Express, while it has been
and is still strongly in favor of H.
V. Johnson for Governor, has not
lowered itself, we hope, in the estim
ation of any of its readers by the
personal abuse of other aspirants.
We would not detract one iota from
the high estimation in which the
gentlemen are held by their friends.
We have simply confined our advo
cacy of Mr. Johnson upon the ground
of his personal merit and distinguish
ed ability as a statesman and a noble
Georgian. Nor have we ever con
tended that he is the only man in
Georgia who would make a good
Gos’eruor. We have said, however,
that we believed he would come as
near as any man to giving full, com
plete satisfaction to the people as the
Democratic nominee. We have also
expressed our conviction that unless
some such a man was nominated,
we shall probabably have an inde
pendent Democratic candidate for
Governor, and that such a candidate
might be elected through the dissat
isfaction of the Democratic party.
As the situation now is, it would
seeiii that Colquitt’s star is in the
ascendant ; but there is a belief,
whether right or wrong, that he is
the choice of a combination of poli
ticians banded together for the dis
tribution of olfices. It is further
claimed that Gov. Smith is at the
head of that ring, and tnat he hopes
io.be made United States Senator by
its success. How much of truth there
'is in such a claim, we do not under
take to say as we do not know. But
if it should turn out that Colquitt
represents such a combination, he
may rest assured that he will not
find his way to the executive chair
with great ease. lie will not walk
over the track —for the people are de
termined they will support no move
ment if it has the least suspicion rest
ing upon it of being a “put up job.”
This charge, we state respectfully,
is being fully discussed, and the pros
pects of the hero’of Olustee, sojbright
to-day may not be so to-morrow.
Hardeman seems to have a strong
n;i 1.7 it ..f, I r iL „ C
Like Colquitt, he is personally popu
lar and will play a strong hand in
the convention; but what will be
come of his strength in the decision
of the contest would now be hard
to divine. Whether it will go over
to Colquitt at the last is a problem
which the signs of the times do not
indicate its solution in the re
motest degree just now. It may be
antagonistic to Colquitt and may
settle upon an aspirant leas conspicu
ous.
James will come up with a rat
tling crowd of adherents,but not with
strength enough to decide the contest
in his favor. Indeed, we do not think
it is expected to nominate James this
heat, but his running is merely to
train him for a future race, hoping
to secure by persistent effort cam
paign after campaign what may be
lacking now in personal popularity
and a confidence as to his capacity
for Die office. As James desires to
be Governor only for “the honor of
the thing,” and being a young man
defeat this time will only set him
back. as he doubtless believes,
for four more years. By that time
he will be well trained.
Gartrell is not without strength.
He has a pretty good following and
will bring up considerable force to
exhibt his strength ; but the remem
brance that the General, during the
days of reconstruction, was not as
decided in his political affilaition as
lie ought to haye been, will militate
against his claims. His position in
those days was not understood, and
it will be necessary for him to ex
plain why he didn’t take a more
prominent stand while the tr ie peo
pleof Georgia were struggling to save
the State from political degradation
and tp wrench the government from
the hands of the Radical vandals.
We say these things will weigh
heavily in the ballaneo against Gar
trell in the convention, and we do
not expect his nomination. Where
his adherents and those of James
will go in the end we canuot surmise.
Hon, H. V. Johnson’s name will
be placed before the convention as a
compromise candidate. Upon his
record or the want of statesmanship
and ability no war can be made.
Like some tall oak he stands iu the
lofty attitude of a great man whose
election as Governor would be bailed
all over the country as a'signal for
the return of first-class men to pub
lic positions. It would look like re
turning to the better days when the
highest qualification were requisites
for men to possess in order to com
"hi end them to places of public
trusts.
* There may be combinations at
work in the" convention. ' If there be
any everybody knows that they
will not be in the interest of H. V.
Johnson. If the people desire to
place a man in ihe executive chair
independent of rings they have only
to centre on Johnson as a representa
tive man of the people against all
rings, cliques and combinations.

iL Success
v * :
THE NATIONAL DEMOCRACY.
The success of the National De
mocracy this year will depend upon
its firmness in principle and an obsti- j
nate support of principle. Whether
we shall win the Presidency -or not
is a question entirely depending up
on adhesion to correct theory and
practice.* “departure”
like that of 1872 will seal our fate for
ever, even if that departure is taken
in the slightest degree. Therefore,
the Democracy everywhere —we
mean the rank and file—should in
sist upon a clear and strict construc
tion of Democratic principles in the
St. Louis platform. If a temporiz
ing, namby pamby position is ta
ken we predict in advance that the
Democracy will again be beaten in
the Presidential contest, and that we
should lose strength in Congress, i
No “departure” has ever been made
by the Democracy that has not been
followed by defeat, disaster and dis
grace.
A good deal is said in regard to
the Southern Democracy in the Pres
idential contest. Little of what is
said is wise and a great deal of it
unwise. We are told that the South
ern Democracy care not who is nom
inated for the Presidency so he is ac
ceptable to the Democracy of the
North. Qualifiedly, this is so; the
Southern Democracy will support
any good and true Democrat WllO
may be nominated. But we say
now, in advance, our judgment F
that the Democracy of the Southern
Slates will never again support a
Presidential nomination upon the
line of expediency especially of
doubtful expediency —as they did in
1872. But. if our Northern brethren
will give us true and unflinching
Democrats —men sincerely devoted
to the great grinciples of public lib
erty —men who will know no section
iu the administration of thegovern
ment,the South will rally to a man the
support of such nominations. A
nomination and a stultification like
that of 1872 will lose us, we believe,
the great Southern Democratic State
of Georgia, which with its fifty
thousand Democratic majority only
gave the small majority eight or ten
thousand in the Greeley campaign.
Even the Southern Democracy,
with all its dependence upon its
Northern brethren, will not again
submit to being dragooned into the
support of a policy they damned in
their heart as a league with the dev
il and a covenant with hell. No!
no! no! the Southern Democracy
will stand in the future as true as
steel to principle. If they cannot be
true to correct principle they will al
low the approaching contest to go by
default before they will stultify
themselves again by belying their
record as true and honest men devo
ted to that manhood which only rec
ognizes the truth in all things.
The time has come in the history
—• ; feig H-iiPi) there can be
no fancied excuse for resorting to
mere expediency to win the success
of principle. The time has come
when it is in the power of the De
mocracy to assert and maintain its
principles independent of all extra
neous influences created by the war.
The time has come when the Democ
racy of the country can successfully
demonstrate its capacity to govern
with prosperity to the people, and at
the same time point out the defects
and rottenness of the opposite party.
The time has come, and it has been
for years, when there could not be
least semblance of an excuse for the
Democracy to resort to the mode of
mere.expedieuey to carry it to vic
tory. A square Democratic fight in
1872 would have won us the victory ;
but when our so-called leaders be
guiled us into dissembling and treach
ery to principle, we met our just de
serts in defeat.
Let our Northern friends under
stand distinctly that we will support
any good ticket they nominate on a
sound platform, but that we shall
never again be led by the bondhold
ing influence of Wall street, or allow
ourselves to be manipulated by such
false and unsound so called Demo
crats as August Belmont, the New
York World, cl id omne genus.
The South is for a true and an un
adulterated Democracy, and will sup
port no other kiild of nominations.
We are for the whole country on the
right line, and we believe the true
Democracy to be the right line.
THE GEORGIA DRESS ASSOCIATION.
The annual meeting of the Georgia
Press Association in Savannah last
week was one of the most agreeable
ever enjoyed by that body. The
members were the guests of Mr. J.
H. Estili, of the News , and everything
was done by him to make it not only
agreeable but delightful. The old
officers were elected, headed by Mr.
Estili as president. A better selec
tion could not have been made. The
next meeting will beat Thomasville,
n town that dispenses more hospital
tty than any other of its size in the
State. 0
Asa token of tiie great popularity
of President Estili he was presented
with an elegant silver pitcher and
goblets, which recognition was well
deserved and appropriately bestowed.
Estili is one of the best newspaper
men in the State, and we are g’ad his
success has been commensurate with
his deserts.
We only regret that we were unable
to be present, but hope to meet our
brethren next time.
Dr. W. W. HaTCwho died in New
York, on Wednesday, of last week,
was born in Paris, Kentucky, in 1810.
He graduated at Centre College, Ky
in 1830, and obtained his medical de
gree at Transylvania College in 1836.
His name had. become well-known
throughout the country in connec
tion with IlaWi Journal of limith,
of which he was the founder and first
editor. He was the author of trea
ties on “Cholera, Bronchitis and
Kindred Diseases,” “Consumption,”
“Health by God Irving,“Sleep,”\
“ Health ; and. Djseas* 1 ,” and “Coughs

£IIOCRATIO ORGANIZATION.
Much of the unity and harmony of
the Democratic party and its contin
ue;! supremacy in Georgia depend
upon the thoroughness and fairness
with which it is organized and con
trolled. It is for these reasons that
we again refer to this subject in the
discussion of which we have but the
single purpose of aiding to the extent
of our ability in the promotion of the
best interests of the party.
The party in the State should not
only have its central executive com
mittee, but it should have its district
committees, its county committees
and its beat committees all over the
State. Such complete organization
can oniy be effected by the hearty
co-operation of all who call them
selves Democrats and are willing to
make the actions of the majority,
when-properly expressed, the rule of
their own actions. In other words,
the party can oniy be thoroughly or
ganized by the rule of compromise
and sometimes the surrender of per
sonal preferences in the nomination
of candidates.
Thisisa most important political
year, both in State and Federal
affairs. There never was a time when
the Democratic party should be more
thoroughly organized in order to ex
ert a powerful moral strength in
opposition to continued Republican
rule in this country.
We hope to see this spirit of organ
ized effort fully ail VO la
county. We want io see that organ
ization express in all its actions the
will of the people of the county-
That it may so exert its proper influ
ence, it is to be hoped our county
committee will represent every
milita district—that it will be com
posed of one or two good and true
Democrats selected by the people of
each disirict. This plan we have al
ready advocated, and since we have
received messages from various gen
tlemen to continue to urge it.
At the proper time a Democratic
mass meeting will be called by au
thority. We hope to see at that meet
ing every true Democrat in the coun
ty, determined to act together in har
mony for the purpose of expressing
the will of the majority. It is to
the people the honest, working
people and the good people of all
classes— that we look to as the great
est promoters of Democratic harmony
and Democratic success.
Let the people, therefore, see to it
at the begining of this great politic
|al year that the party is properly
organized, and that it express the
will of the majority. Acting thus
together for ourselves and in the in
terest of good government, we shall
have nothing to fear from political
shysters who may seek their own
good.and not that of the people.
The re-election of Air. S. K. John
son as the superintendent of* the
Georgia railroad was an expression
f —.inuoH and deserved confidence
of which any young man might feel
proud. The stockholders of that
road are composed of the most intel
ligent men and the best citizens of
the State. We would suppose that
the company could exhibit as great
; a degree of ability, of learning, and
of business qualifications as any other
corporation in the country. Hence
it is that the continued' confidence
reposed in Mr. Johnson is a compli
ment that few receive—to all of which
Mr. J. is justly entitled, as he has
demonstrated his capacity in the
success of the road in the most trying
times for being the right man in the
right place.
The Express was freely discussed
by a couple of gentlemen one morn
ing last week, while upon the train
from Rome to Kingston. It seems
the course of this paper was not ap
proved; “but” says one of the gen
-1 tlemeu, “we’re obliged to take The
Express for tiie legal advertis
[ ments.” What more was said it is
| not recessary to mention, and we
i only refer to the conversation to say
| that the course of TJjie Express is
| controlled absolutely in the interest
j of thcpeople as its editor honestly be
lieves, and it cannot be swerved
from that course. We do not ex
pect to please everybody for we know
we could not do so; but as long as
we publish a paper it shall be in the
interest of the people ot all classes.
New subscribers are constantly
coming to The Express. Two
hundred more will give us a circu
| lation of one thousand. Will our
! friends in Bartow and adjoining
counties lend us their aid in extend
ing the usefulness of 'ihe Express
in the interest of the people. Re

The Chattooga county people and
; its press are keeping the Senatorial
I question pretty hot. They claim the
next Senator. We have two articles
on the subject in this issue of our pa
' per. By mistake one of them was
| placed on the fourth page. It should
j have appeared on the first. The
! Chattooga people are making out a
! pretty strong case for their county
I furnishing the next Senator.

i The Express has no interest in
politics except to promote the inter

THE EXPRESS,
TTNDLR the present management, is fast
growing into popularity as its rapidly
increasing circulation Inlly attests; andiftb#
present ratio of increase continues, it will room
have the largest circulation of any weekly
paper in ihe State. Coming to Cartersville
under somewhat adverse circumstances, with
false impressions made in advance of bis
coming, to his detriment, and finding the pa
per nearly “run down,” the present proprietor
feels himself under many grateful obligations
to numerous friends for the aid they have
given him in reviving this once popular pa
per. These have given to its circulation an
impetus which it is hoped will make ita power
in this section of Georgia for good—for the
bnilding np of our material interests
and for the promotion of the cause of true and
undefiled Democracy.
The Exp rew*
Will ever be found the true and nnflmchin
triend of the People, the opponent of all
cliques, rings or combinations, if there be any
such organizations to deceive, mislead or to
thwart the popular will, in all political mat
j ters. It will be the aim of the editor to re
flect popular sentiment upon all publia 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 incnlcatc at all times and nndai
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 be found “now and forever,” a Demo
craticjonrnal of “the stralghtest sect” without
a shadow of turning either to the right or left
believing as we do, that the happiness of the
people, and the prosperity of this country de
pend upon • restoration of the old landmarks
of our lathers—a return to first principles,
alone can retain to us free government,and aa
honest administration of the political affairs ot
the country.
The Express
will never omit any occasion to set forth the
great advantages of Cherokee Georgia. Its
aim will he to advance by all means in its
power, the material prosperity of this section
of Georgia, favored 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, ietelligent and worthy of all prosperi
ty. To develop these sources of wealth, and te
make Cherokee Georgia the | garden spot of
the country will be among the chief efforts of
this journal.
The Express,
therefore, appeals to an honest and discrimi
nating public for that patronage which *h.ii
place it in our power, to present a good pa
per, creditable to the State in which it is y üb
lished and a special pride to the people of Jar
tow county. Rapidly overcoming the l.dse
and iniamom, the weak and sillr charge that
this journal was to be, or is to be, or is the or
gan of a ring— auimposition on general intel
ligence--
TheExpreM
will be found in the end a journal that will
not stoop to subserviency in at* f or m-that it
is a free and honest paper that rest j U
prosperity upon its own merits, a.q w ni Merer
seek to build up itself by imploring sympa
thy or by efforts to create false p-dudica
against others. If
The Express
cannot win popoular favor npon the groaad
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
nal, true in its Democracy, true to the pCopl
and true to right and justice, are respectfully
solicited to become subscribers to Tau Ga*
