The Express is the firm defender ind advo cate of the rights and interests of the people of all classes, and the unrelenting opponent of all rings, cliques or combinations organized to defeat the popular will in politics or to injuie any class of citizens materially. Cartersville, June 15, 1876. GFN. YOUNG FOU CONGRESS. We have already published a com munication from Floyd advocating Gen. Youn £ for. Congress. The signed “Dalton,” is To the m<tor of The Express : I am glad to sec that a Floyd count r man has spoken out in favor of Gen. Young for our Congressman. I can assure you Whitfield and Murray ct unties are for him. They wcie sold out the last time, but will not he again. All tfse “hue and cry” about the salary grab and the real estate pool is too little and contempt ible to think of, much less to be eternally speaking and writing about it. We all know what.it is done for. In condemning \oung for the salary grab, Stepheas, Gore on, Nor wood and a large majority of our best and purest statesmen are condemned. 1 iere are a iew would-be leading men in this district who defeated us at the last election, and will do *o again if they are to continue to load. Put Whitfield and Murray counties town lor Young. Dalton. Gen. Young has not said that he is again an aspirant for Congress. He has authorized no one to so an nounce him. If the people desire liisj services, as indicated by a Home correspondent of ours, and “Dalton” this week, we have no doubt Gen. Young will serve them. As he served them most gallantly and faithfuly upon the battle-field, so he has served them since the war as their Congressman, and will do so again when called upon by the peo ple. At the same time it is proper to say that Gen. Young would scorn to force himself upon the people for any position, and the attacks that have been made upon him by a few —and we are glad to say but a few — have been most unjustly and wrong fully made. The circumstances under which Gen. Young voted for the so-called salary grab are known to all intelli gent men familiar with the records of Congress. Had he not done so he would have been cursed and damned from one end of the State to the oth er. He refused to vote for it as a naked question, and even when it came up in the appropriation bill which included the payment of large Southern cotton claims, it was not until he was appealed to by some of the truest men in Congress did he consent to vote tor it. It was a com promise in which he voted against his inclinations as to the salary grab, and voted to save to the South some forty millions of dollars of cotton claims. Among the gentlemen who were most earnest in his appeal to Gen. Young in this behalf was Gen. Gordon, who had not yet taken his seat as Senator, and who promised Gen. Young his defense upon the stump and through the pret?s if he Stephens defenttoTlhat vote In Ihe House and Mr. Norwood voted for the so-called salary grab in the Senate. But strange as it appears, only Mr. Stephens and Gen. Young have been assailed on account of the salary grab. Gen. Gordon and Mr. Nor wood have passed the ordeal un scathed. Nobody has attacked either one of them; but out of pure and “cussed” gpite and vindictive malignity as it would seem Stephens and Young have borne the brunt of the abuse upon this score- Is this honest? Is it true to principle and justice? The cry against the salary grab from the beginning was only the war whoop of second rate politi cians, and was taken up by some very clever people. Now, in regard to the real estate pool business. For more than two months this matter has been submit ted to a committee of Congress. No one has corruptly implicated Gen. Young with it except by a irrespon sible Radical and he did not state that Gen. Young was corruptly im plicated, but merely that his name was on the books of Kilbourne some years since as having invested some money in real estate through that man as an agent. Siuce the matter was submitted to a committee for in vestigation, Gen. Young has repeat edly asked the chairman, Mr. Glov er, by letter and through his friends, to be allowed to testify. Up tj this time he has not been called upon for his testimony, nor has 'any charge been made against him to the committee, directly or indirectly’. Tkft attempt to stigmatize the rep utation of Gen. Young is simply an outrage, as damnable as hell. To defame the name of a true soldier and a pure Democrat, by false charg es directly made or by implication is shameful. We regret to see any at tempt of the kind to break down any man ; and, as a friend to Gen. Young we are in favor of his going before the peop[e as a candidate for Con gress, as a vindication of his charac ter against the bitter and unjust terms in which it has been assailed. If a man has fought nobly for his country’ and acted nobly in Congress for his constituents, his constituents should see to it that his reputation suffers no detriment at the hands of his enemies who would seize upon mere pretexts to consummate srch a purpose. We .have written this editorial in behalf of a friend and without his knowledge. It was prompted by the communication we have given at the beginning of this article. Believing we are right, and for the sake of right and the vindication of truth, we shall stand by Gen. Young and repel all assaults made upon him un justly. \\ e shall not desert him, and we call upon the people to stand by the good name of a brave and gallant soldier who always stood by his col ors in the battle’s strife, and who, as a member of Congress, vindicated the people of the South and never deserted them when assailed by their enemies. A FIELD DAY IN ATLANTA. If one wants to find out things, po litically, all one has to do is to go to Atlanta. There you can hear it all and a great deal more —especially a great deal more. What the Constitu tion and the Commonwealth fail to elucidate or make up through the week the Sunday Telegram finishes up on Sunday. Between these in dustrious sheets, the Kirkwood mu tuals, West Murphy and the lesser lights the political cauldron is kept boiling—all for Coiquitt. If the “Christian soldier” is not made Gov ernor it will be no fault of these in fluences. They are at work all the time, and they already know in ad vance of the movements of the peo ple in their primary capacity just precisely that Colquitt will be nomi nated on the first ballot. If their judgment be correct, which we very much doubt, why is it that they should fret and fume so during these hot days of our centennial June about the presentation of ihe name of Mr. Johnson ? If Colquitt is to be nomi nated on the first ballot why does the Johnson movement affect them as a nightmare in the beautiful dreams of assured victory ? But as we have said, if one wants to know precisely “how il is” any way, just go to Atlanta and seek the authorities already cited. We spent Monday down among the “knowing ones,” aud if we should believe pre cisely what they say, they have not yet seen that “cloud no bigger than a man’s hand,” nor heard the rumbling of the “distant thunder.” They have ciphered Mr. Johnson down to five counties, Hardeman down to ten or fifteen, Gartrell down to Gilmer county, and then they smile a ghastly smile for James, and say lie is the only man willing to pay to be Gov ernor. This is just the way they put matters in a nutshell aud hand the shell over to be cracked by anybody who can. But as strange as it may appear to the Atlanta Solons, the Colquitt bri gade, there are a great many John son men in Atlanta, a good sprink ling of James men, and a little dash of Hardeman throughout the city. Of course, Colquitt is ahead. He could not be otherwise with the Smith element to hack him. Well, we want the hoys to have their way until the convention ; and then, per haps, the people, through their rep resentatives, may have their way in the actions of that convention. That would be about fair play and will givQ us all a chance to he thoroughly lepresented in the politics of the day. If Johnson should be nominated the Colquitt men will have the satisfac tion of having had a real good time for the past four years, and this is just where the beauty of the thing comes in. We heard a great deal of the “se er 3t circular.” The boys are anxious to see it and to smell of it .to ascertain the quantity of brimstone in it. When we told them it would be im- Joftnson until tie ftAd’ ttm^red r Tt and submitted the whole to the peo ple they seemed to realize the pro priety of such a course, and, we think, they arc willing to wait with Chris tian resignation until such a time. The suggestion seemed to have a soothing effect upon our friends and we all quaffed a mug of foaming lager as to the fitness of things, and Col. Styles and Maj. Small and Cpt. •Murphy manifested a serene calm ness when they were convinced there was no sulphur in the “secret circu lar.” It was a part of our mission to wave the wand of truth over the heads of our good friends lest they might overdo the circular business and make themselves too ridiculous. THE BRETHREN. During Sunday and Monday last we met up with quite a number of the brethren of the “fourth estate” in Atlanta. The first we saw was Col. Styles, who seems to be quite at home in the “Gate City’.” The next was Medlock. of the Sandersville Herald. And then we struck up with Bill Moore, of the Augusta Constitutionalist , who has his washing done in Atlanta and comes up every Saturday night for a clean shave and a “biied” shirt. On Monday the trains brought into the city several other brethren. As we went around to see the Atlanta journalists, we met up with the Gradys, of the Telegram, Col. Wad dell and Col. Garlington, of the Times , Whidby and Small, of the Constitution. During the day we struck up with Speights, of the Greenville (S. C.) News, who comes over into Georgia occasionally for a breath of free air; then we came up with Alexander, of the Griffin News. It was not until the early dawn of Tuesday, as we were about to take the train for home, that we caught sight of Gorman, of the Talbotton Standard, who just arrived on the Macon train, destined for his Ten nessee farm to look after his crop of Irish potatoes and snap beans. Well, right glad were we to meet these friends of the press. They are all good jolly’ fellows, and the enjoy ment to us was huge. There is a little goober patch somewhere down in the piney woods of Georgia called Columbia county. A few days ago two or three of its grabbers got together and adopted a string of resolutions favoring Colquitt ior Governor. Thereupon the Colquitt host began huzahing for the first gun for Colquitt. * Saturday the Democracy of Richmond eouuty met and declared for Johnson by electing the friends of that gentleman upon the executive committee.— Roino Courier. We further understand the Colum bia meeting was held impromptu, it not having been called. It was a ease of snap judgment taken outside of regular Democratic organization and usage. If that is the way the friends of Gen. Colquitt propose to control the party, are they not pav ing the way for bolters and indepen- f dent candidates? Since the foregoing was put in type we learn the meeting was regular called. DEMOCRATIC ORGANIZATION. The convention of the Democrat ic party of Bartow county has beer called to meet in the Court house on Saturday, the 29th day of July, at 11 o’oelock. The purpose of waiting until that time is to give the people time to reflect and decide as to who shall represent them in the State convention of the Democracy and to determine as to their choice for Gov ernor. If we are not mistaken in the temper of the people the Bartow delegation will go to Atlanta under instruettions as to the gubernatorial nomination. What those instruc tions will be is to be submitted to our people themselves in our county convention. The crops will all be laid by and the farmes will have am pie time to attend that convention, and it is hoppd they will all be here by the thousands. In making the foregoing statement we desire most sspecially to appeal to the Democratic voters of Bartow county to take all pains that every man in the county is aroused to the importance of a full attendance of the people. ,If “eternal vigilence is the price of liberty,” it is equally necessary that every man should be thoroughly arroused in regard to all political movements. Under our system of government every voter is the equal of his peers in all that per tains.to government and each and every man to the extent of his vote as to whether that government be good or bad. This being true it is well the people should ho divided into political parties in order that the people may not become the sub jects or victims ot ring rule and mis government. The Democratic party being large ly in the majority in the State, it is necessary that the people should be vigilant that its organization may not he pervetred to the base purposes of designing men who would use it for selfish and ignoble ends. These are the reasons why we would see every Democratic voter in Bartow county at the convention so that the will of the people shall bo truly re flected by the proceedings thereof. If the Democratic party of Bartow does not reflect the will of the great majority of the people of the county, it will be the fault of the people themselves. If they are not here to control the actions of the convention they have none to blame but them selves. We are about to enter upon an important political campaign, State and National, and every voter is interested in his own behalf and that of his family in the selection of a good governor, and they should come forward, say who they desire to be nominated in Atlanta on the 2d of August. Democrats of Bartow! if you are true to your party, your country and good government show your patriot ism by giving your influence and presence in the deliberations to be held here on the 29th of July. We want to see the largest meeting ever us rally and come together for the great public good and show a piop er appreciation of our liberties and blessings of free government. The Rome Courier is well pleased with the time for the State Conven tion. It says: It gives time for the Colquitt bubble so burst, and for the people themselves to think and act. The little cut and dried game already fixed up will be knocked into a cock ed hat, and honest men will have a chance to express their convictions. The “little cloud no bigger than a [ man’s hand” is gathering propor tions as it becomes more and more probable that Mr. Johnson would ac cept a nomination for Governor. If he signifies a willingness to do so, won’t we soon hear the thunder? Look out, boy’s, for the lightning ! Col. Carey W. Styles, of the Atlan ta Commonwealth, and Major Charles Willingham of The Cartersville Express are two of the warmest poli ticians in the State.— Savannah News, And Corperal Joe Harris is certainly the funniest man in the State. We sincerely sympathize with Mr. John H. Seals in the loss of his son Millard, who was knocked from an excursion train near Port Royal some days ago. He was the only’ child and is represented to have been a most estimable young man. The Colquitt organs are making desperate efforts to distort the pur pose of a letter addressed to Hon. 11. V. Johnson, asking the use of his name for Governor. They know perfectly well there is not a breath of conspiracy in it. The gubernatorial aspirants are going all over the State making agri cultural, literary and Sunday school speeches. These gubernators are ex ceedingly agricultural, literary and pious in their political efforts. Col. Tom Hardeman is shelling the mountains this week. “They say” he is making a mighty good impres siou wherever he goes. It’s about time the Colquitt organs were look ing after him. Is it a foregone conclusion that Gen. Colquitt will be our next Gov ernor? His organs say he will, and yet we do not know it to be absolute ly certain. A fellow can’t help liking Colquitt, Hardeman, James and Gar treli, nor he can’t help from admir ing the transcendant abilities of Johnson, If Gen. Colquitt can be nominated on a sort of war whoop, or upon a sort ot cavalry charge, so to speak in figurative style, it will be done, you bet! The Republican National Conven tion met at Cincinnati yesterday’, and we shall not be surprised if Cos nkling is nominated. That’s Graut’s idea. Atlanta is by no means unanimous far Colquitt. Johnson has a large and influential following in that city. THE GUBERNATORIAL NOMINATION. I Weareexcedingly anxious that the Democracy of Georgia shall make a nomination for Governor that will give peace, harmony and success to j the party. The welfare and pros perity of the State and people de mand this. We cannot afford to sever the Democratic forces for mere ly personal preferences for any man ; nor can we push the claims of any man against the interests of the party. The friends of no man should attempt in any manner a nomination by trickery or seneming; nor can the friends of any of the aspirants enter into any sort of bargain and sale to effect the ends they desire. We must have a nomination that can be unani mously made after the contest in the convention settles the question of the successful man. We cannot afford to give any sort of pretext for independent candi dacy—for unless we are united we cannot hope to succeed in perpetuat ing Democratic rule in the State; we cannot afford to be remitted to Radi cal rule, under which we have so greatly suffered, and from the results of which the people still are burden ed. We are not strong enough to divide. It is for these reasons that we de sire to see a harmonious nomination made. If there be any trickery in the nomination, or unfair means em ployed to secure success for any man, there is certain to be an independent candidate for Governor, in our opin ion. Let the friends of each gentle man named for the office do all they can for their favorites by the most honorable means between now and the second of August; but when the decision is made by a fair and hon orably conducted convention let every Democrat rally to the support of the nominee. The integrity of the Democratic party cannot be shaken or its torces shattered unless unfair means are practiced to secure the nomination. The perpetuity of the party depends more upon square dealing ail round than merely blind adhesion to what ever may be done, right or wrong. Gartrell never goes outside of At lanta to electioneer. He places his whole dependence upon what liis friends may do for him. Gilmer and contiguous counties are standing up to him like men. The Smith-Colquitt combination j,s what we hear when we go to At lanta and whenever we meet up with anybody from anywhere else. That is worse than the “circulaire” business. James is the only missionary gu bernator who is candid enough to come and say lie wants to he Gov er just for “the honor of the thing” and is willing to pay something for it. A daughter of Rev. W. P. Harrison, of Atlanta, committed suicide in Columbus Friday morning by jump ing into the Chattahoochee river. civ V ... c. Gen. John B. Gordon, U. S. Sena tor and a member of the Kirkwood mutual admiration society, is at home. We saw him on the streets of Atlanta the other day. The gubernatorial race is now, be yond a doubt between Johnson and Colquitt if the former will consent to accept a nomination if tendered. Ever and anon we hear the whis per that there is an understanding between the Smith and Colquitt ele ments. Is it true? If we are to believe the Colquitt organs there is no use in having a nominating convention for Governor. The Kirkwood mutual admiration society, we believe, has nominated Gen. Colquitt for Governor. We prefer Bayard to Tilden for President, We don’t like “quoted reading matter” literature. Eugenie Speer, of the Griffin News, some weeks ago, was a Johnson man. Sfc K.- K..
