THE EXPRESS. Thk Express is the firm defender and 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 injure any class of citizens rtrsterially. Cartersville, August 24, 1876. . A PLEA FOR DEMOCRATIC HARMONY. The power of the Democratic party is in its organic strength; anti we un derstand organization .to mean the concentration of the Democratic forces under certain rules of action for the common success of the principles pro mulgated as Democratic. Such or ganization requires upon the part of every Democrat certain concessions for the general good and for the pur poses of unity and harmony in the direction of such organic forces. In other words, organization means that “in union there is strength,” and that “united, we stand; divided, we fall.” Without these principles of concen trated action, the Democratic forces become scattered and its principles cannot become operative in the con trol of government. It was by organization, thorough and complete, that Georgia was res cued from the bayonet rule of radi calism and restorod to the govern ment and control of the true people of the State. If the people are true to Democratic principles as en forced through the power of organic solidity, Georgia will never fall into the hands of Hadicalism again. There are two principal dangers that beset us in in the preservation of the integrity of Democratic organization. Both are very dangerous. They are the enemies within and the foes without. The enemies within are the ambitious and selfish men who are Democrats only for personal aggrandizement and who seek to use the party organization by trickery and fraud to subserve their own pur poses. These combine, in many in stances, to control nominations for each other, and constitute what are “rings and “cliques” These enemies within the party are the most dan gerous to its perpetuity. The foes without are the open enemies of the party and a class of ambitious men who take advantage of irregularities in Democratic organization or bad nominations made by it to place themselves in power. But for cor rupt manipulators of Democratic or ganization we should be but little troubled with .that class of Demo crats known as “independents,” and vet “independents” not unfrequently serve a good purpose in defeating the corrupt aims and purposes of “ring sters” and “tricksters” in the line of organization. The foregoing remarks are simply introductory to what we desire to impress upon the mind of every Dem ocrat who would preserve good gov ernment in this country. It is to the “rank and file”—theDemocratic vo ters Of thft “ ul um '- c ‘ seekers, but who are Democrats for principle only—we say it is to those we look for the maintenance of Dem ocratic organization. If they are thoroughly alive to the great po litical interests of the country, nei ther the enemies within, or the foes without can destroy or scatter tiie forces of the party by trickery or fraud. If the people will take the political affairs of the country into their own hands, discourage as far as possible, office-seeking, and select their truest and best men for office; we say if the people of all communi ties will attend every political meet ing and take an interest in it, the time would soon do when few men would dare to use Democratic or ganization for selfish purposes; but as long as the people are indifferent to the highest privilege of American freemen to control and conduct their own political affairs, they must ex pect that party organization may fall into the hands of designing men who will w r ork its disintegration, al lowing the opposing party, under better party control, but with perni cious principles, to supplant the De mocracy in the control of gov ernment. The Democratic voters of Bartow county are called to meet in Carters ville on the 2nd of September. The object of that meeting is to appoint delegates to the Congressional Con vention at Dalton and for a reorgan ization of the party in the county. It is important that the Democrats of this county should say whether or not they intend to preserve and per petuate the organization of the party. It is important for them to say who they want nominated at Dalton and to send delegates accordingly. An executive committee is to be ap pointed for the next two years. That committee should be composed of our best men, and there should, we think, be a member of that com mit tee from each militia district, so as to have full concert of action in all the districts in order that harmony may prevail. It is earnestly hoped that the Dem ocrats of Bartow will be here in full force on the 2d- Let it be the meet ing oi the honest masses, coming to gether for the common good and for a preservation of Democratic principles and the maintenance of free govern ment as handed down to us by the fathers of the Republic. We believe the Democracy of Bartow to be as true as that of any county in the State. All they ask is that Democratic ac tion.and expression to Democratic feeling and sentiment. These actions and expressions to be had on the 2d can and shall he that of the popular will. We appeal to the Democracy of Bartow county to come once again to the altar of Democracy and renew their allegiance to Democratic or ganization and swear .eternal hos tility to its enemies within and its foes without. The Murray county Democracy have appointed Congressional dele gates for Dabney—making eight for him out of thirty-four eo far. STEKESCOPIC VIEWS OF GEORGIA. It will be remembered that several hundred Northwestern men came down South some months ago to see our country as it is. The excursion was projected by Dr. W hite, of At lanta, with a view to inducing immi gration to our State by giving these people a true idea of our people and the inducements we can offer to all who desire to come among us for their own benefit and to build up our country. The excursionists were exceedingly well plased with Geor gia, and the result is there is a great disposition among hundreds of good citizens to come to Georgia to live, and hence they are constantly seek ing information in regard to the con dition of affairs here and as to the inducements that can be presented to them to make a change of resi dence to our section. Dr. White has conceived the idea of securing stereo scopic views of interesting towns and points in our State to be sent on as advertisements of our country. Mr. J. L. Shaub, a fine artist, is now visiting Georgia to secure these views, which, when completed, will be forwarded to the Northwest in large packages to each individual member of the late excursion and to others. Mr. Schaub was in our town, with Dr. White on Tuesday last and tooK a splendid view oi cartersvine, and only desires the small amount of ten dollars to include our town in the collection of scenes, thus to be sent forward. So favorably were we im pressed with the scheme that we have agreed to write and print a de scription of our town and county to be pasted upon the back of the Car tersvilie views as an advertisement for our section. We hope there is enterprise enough among our leading citizens to con tribute so small an amount that may be instrumental in securing several hundred thousand dollaisof capital among them in the course of a year or two. Let us make our great coun ty known to men of money who are seeking investments. STATE SENA TOR SHIP. This is a squabble between Chat tooga and Floyd counties, which will have to be settled by the cool and dis passionate judgment of Bartow coun ty. Both sides make a good showing. The best that can be done is that full delegations from each of the thiee counties shall meet at Kingston on the 9th proximo and there deliberate with a view to eliciting the true facts in reference to tiie matter and act ac cordingly. The Express has given the arguments on both sides so far as we have been placed in possession of them. The whole question hinges upon the residence of Maj. John T. Burns at the time of his nomination and election as Senator for the term preceeding that of Col. John W. Wofford’s. This is a contest in which The Express has taken no part. It is oo to bo decided by the Kingston convention upon the facts then pre sented by the two counties claiming the nomination. The mwita of will have to be decided, as we be lieve, by the votes of the delegates from Bartow. We believe that the Bartow delegates will act upon the evidence then adduced, and for the interest of the Democratic party of the district and in behalf of justice. In conclusion, upon this subject, we have only to say that our own infor mation in regard to the subject is not sufficient for us to say any more than that we have ail along believed that Floyd county is entitled to theSena torship. If we are wrong it will be demonstrated at Kingston and we shall be satisfied. THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTEST. The convention for the nomination of a candidate for Congress for this district is called to meet at Dalton on the 7th of September. There is but one name that we now know of which will be brought before that conven tion, and it is that of Col. Wm. 11. Dabney, of Floyd. It now seems pretty- certain he will be nominated by acciamation. There seems to be a general feeling that the honor is justly due him, as is conceded by all parties that have heretofore been considered as congressional aspirants. There is not a more honorable or a more able gentleman in the district. His name is without blemish and his reputation as a man of dignified character is not surpassed by that of any other man’s in the State. He is the last man we should think of who would use unfair or dishonorable means to secure his own nomination. If he can be nominated, as we be lieve be will be, by the voice of a majority of the Democratic party of the district, there is no question, in our mind, of his election in Novem ber. If he is not nominated it is very doubtful as to what will bs the result of the election. Three counties, Dade, Paulding aud Haralson, have already appoint ed delegates in favor of Col. Dabney. It seems to be pretty certain he will get every delegation in the district. He is a good man and we shall take pleasure in supporting him when nominated. We regret to state that it is defi nitely announced in the Atlanta Constitution that Col. E. Y. Clarke is not to be married to that Columbus belle. The Colonel wants to make a few more commencement addresses when he thinks he will be able to make up his mind as to lbe one he loves best. It is far better to be a big fat man, even in this hot weather than to remain in “single blessed ness” over winter, like wo fear Clarke will do. Clarke is wasting his sweetness with a reckless prodi gality by not taking formal charge of a good piece of calico. We have read most of the letters written to his paper the Rome Cou rier, by Capt. M.Dwinell during his tour in Egypt. Turkey and the East. These have all been very interesting indeed. THE BARTOW DEMOCRACT. In the last number of The Ex press we said in an editorial that we were —“satisfied that the party in this county will conform to all that is fair and honorable in Democratic organization ; but, at the same time, it is proper to say lor tho Bartow Dem ocracy ihatthey will submit to nothing unfair or undemocratic. Our people are for organi zation upon correct principles and upon an lion, orable basis ol Democratic expression. They will submit to nothing less nor demand more.” To this fair and honest proposition the Rome Courier replies in its usual ly egotistic and bombastic style— always ready and eager to attribute improper motives to those wno may differ with it: The plain English of which is, if the Demo cracy of the 7th Congressional district will con cede Bartow men all the honors the Bartow Democracy can be depended on ; otherwise, Bartow Democracy can be counted out. Bar tow Democracy is a cheat and u lie, and the sooner the Democracy of the district realizes that fact the better it will DC for it. None know better than the Courier the reasons that moved the great ma jority of the Bartow Democracy in the Congressional campaign two years age. There are no truer Demo crats than those of Bartow anywhere. While they are loyal to Democracy they wish it distinctly understood that they are not the slaves of those who choose to use the Democratic organization for personal ends. While they- oi-o willing to SUDDOI’t and will support the fair and hon orable nomination of an acceptable man for Congress they will not sup port just any man who may be foist ed upon them by trickery and chican ery against the popular will. If the nomination is all right and square at Dalton, and Col. Dabney is the man, be will receive a cordial support in Bartow, notwithstanding the mean fling made at us by the Home Courier. The Bartow Democracy simply have a contempt for the utterances that designate them as “a cheat and a lie.” MAJ. HARGROVE AT MACON. In its account of the Radical pow wow at Macon last week, the Tele graph states that after the conven tion was over/an open air meeting was held at night, and that — The first speaker was z. Is. Hargrove, of Koine, who proceeded, relying upon the ig norance ol his hearers, to regale them with a tissue of baseless falsehoods as to the character of the leaders of the National Democracy, whom he charged with corruption and thiev ery. lie then dropped to the Georgia State ad ministration of the Democracy, which he de nounced as imbecile and corrupt. Next he fell to malignant abuse of the white Democra cy of the State, charging them with fraud, violence, thievery, intimidation and corrup tion. In 1869 we know Maj, Hargrove was the Democratic mayor of Rome. Personally he is a clever gentleman and a good postmaster ; but why he should now be a Radical, and, in a public place, malignantly abuse the white people of Georgia, his relatives, neighbors and friends, we cannot understand. It is a painful thought that Maj. Hargrove should conde scend to fall in with such a crowd as was at Macon last week as one of their leaders. Maj. Hargrove does not now move in hia right political element. He has turned his back upon the best people of his State to unite with a class of men in the “malignant abuse” of his old -and honored associates. This association, with him, in our humble opinion, is forced and does not spring from his better nature, but is really repulsive to his instincts anti revolting to his Southern feeling. It is ver y difficult to discuss a pub lie question with the Home Courier , under its present management, with out being directly or indirectly in sulted, if its utterances are to be ta ken for what they express. In that paper of the 19th, the editor, or his locum tenens, said : “We do not know whether Brother Willingham is a lunatic, i. e., we do not know wheth er the moon has anything with his idiosyncracies or not; but certain it is that every time the moon gets in a certain quarter our good brother is seized with a paroxism of Young on the brain ; and rises up with a bran new ‘ vindication’ of bis Brobdig nagian hero.” “Brother Willing ham” has been seldom wrong,in his “vindications.” lie seldom has to take back or apologize for what he writes or publishes. When “Broth er Willingham” asserts that the Rome Courier has made a studied ef fort to traduce and slander the name of an honorable man, it is made with no intention of apologizing for it or taking it back. The country is filled with candi dates, The broad grin of good hu mor spreads upon their countenances like soft butter over hot pan-cakes, and the milk of human kindness flows like water in every bar-room they visit. We always did take kindly to the real good, sociable can didate. There is a kind streak run ning through his whole nature that can only find expression in a warm shake of the hand, the most kindly familiarity and a hearty invitation to drink In these hard times, when it is not every man who has the wherewithal to slake his thirst like a gentleman, there is something con soling in the idea that it will not be long before one may meet a patriotic candidate who ever has (during the campaign) a wondrous fellow-feeling j for mankind generally. In matters of hospitality and friendship com mend us to the whole-souled earnest candidate for office. The present political campaign is the dullest we have ever seen in Georgia, and we do not know how to account for it except that the De mocracy is so largely in the majority that the people have no fear of defeat. Except an occasional Radi-; cal mob in Atlanta there is nothing lively in the campaign. We are waiting for Old Uncle Jonathan Nor cross to take the field in order to get up astir or a stink. The circulation of The Express has reached nine hundred, and the cry is still they come. Well, let ’em come, DEATH OF SPEAKER KERR. The telegraphic dispatches advises us of the death of Hon. M. C. Kerr, speaker of the House of Representa tives, at Rockbridge Alum Springs, of Virginia, at 7:20 r. M., on Satur day last. This news has been sadly received all over the country, as he was a man of splendid character as an honest and able man. An ex change says Mr. Kerr was a native of Crawford county, Pennsylvania, where he was born in 1827. He rep* resented the Third Indiana District, and was elected to the Speakership in December last. In his youth he attended the common schools of Crawford county, and as he grew in years, engaged in teaching and im proving his mind by pursuing a course of study and profitable read ing. He graduated with distinction in the University of Louisville, Ky. —law being his speciality, lie com menced the practice of his profession at New Albany, Ind., where he soon came into favorable notice. He was elected to the State Legislature in 1856, and won new laurels in this new field. In 1862 he became repor ter of the Supreme Court of Indiana. The live volumes of reports which he edited prove him to be a man of more than ordinary ability. He was a member of tiie Thirty-ninth Con- Olid vvuu re .elected ill ’66, '6B, ’7O, and ’74. Ilis course in Congress was conspicuous because of the faith fulness with which he adhered to the principles he sought to illustrate. Socially, Mr. Kerr was very at tracts e, and won for himself hosts of friends. Asa public man, his re cord was consistant throughout. In his death the country has lost a true son—one who never failed to respond promptly to the calls of duty, and was never found wanting when duty was imposed. Peace to his soul! And now Atlanta comes to the front with anew candidate for pub lic patronage and favor in the shape of the Sundew Morning Herald , owned, edited and published by Mr. Bridges W. Smith. The paper is a lively compendium of passing events and promises to be a welcome visitor to the families of all who subscribe for it. Mr. Smith (not John) is a lively and graphic writer, and pos sesses the power, in an eminent de gree, of pleasing the sentimental, satisfying the solid mind and tick ling the fancy of the humorous hearted. We hope for it grand suc cess. Price $2.15 per year. We think Julian Hartridge is too modest to be re-elected to Congress. Like Hon. 11. V. Johnson, he pro poses to accept a re-nomination on the principle of a “spontaneous com i bustion.” If he waits for that he may, like Mr. Johnson, make up his mind to stay at home. There is no combustion in personal merit and qualification these days. It’s the man who works for oflieo that gets it now. it should he remembered tnat political kissing goes by favors. Old Uncle Jonathan Norcross is now the Radical candidate for Gov ernor of Georgia. The old man has become famous at last. A few years ago the old gentleman made a des perate attempt to kill all theku-klux with his pen. Having failed he re tired to his pomological study and succeeded in producing the best of fruit. After this race we hope the old hero may “rest in peace” and calmly slee Mr. John 11. James is a candidate for the Legislature from Fulton county. There is, perhaps, no man in that county who is more familiar with or understands better the wants and necessities of the people. An old resident, having come up in the world of finance as the city came up in commercial importance, Mr. James is fully prepared to represent it and Fulton county in the Legisla ture. Since the retiracy of Grady from the press, Miss Eugenio Speer, of the Griffin News , has become the pet daughter of the editorial regiment. The exquisite manner in which she manipulates the “rub-a-dub” of her little drum (the Neics) constitutes one of the wonders of the journalistic profession. This is intended to make love to the amable and sprightly Miss Eugenie, Old Uncle Jonathan Norcross has retired from the Atlanta Republican as its editor. lie has not yet accept ed the Radical nomination for Gov ernor. If he does, we mean to pub lish his letter of acceptance, as it will doubtless bo written in the royal Bengal tiger style on the ku-klux line, and because we want to put something hot in our paper. Old Uncle Jonathan Norcross, the Radical nominee for Governor, has certainly one qualification for the j office, if we go on the principle i ascribed to great men as chirogra- j pliers. Old Rufus Choate, in his palmiest days, did not write a worse hand than old Uncle Jonathan Nor cross. Bartow is a great county. Besides furnishing to the State many of its ablest Democratic politicians and the best weekly newspaper in Georgia, it gives to the Republican party its brightest light in the person of a late Attorney General of Grant’s ad ministraton. If it were not for the Republicans in Atlanta one would think that party dead. With old Uncle Jona than Norcross, Jesse Jackson, and an occasional visit from Col. Akerman and James Atkins, be hanged if It is muA trouble to get up an occasional mob in that town. We cannot rid ourself of the opin ion long entertained that we shall have to compile a dictionary for the use and benefit of those editors who do not care how they spell—particu larly those of the Rome papers. If you want the best weekly in the State subscribe for The Express. The indications are that Col. W. H. Dabney will be nominated at Dalton by acclamation. He is an able man and as honest as he is able, asd as true as be is honest. This is what we do not say for every man who wants an office. Old uncle Jonathan Norcross isjthe first gubernatorial candidate eve put on the track in Georgia without a title. We shall have to call him Old Uncle Jonathan Norcross throughout the campaign. Among the thirty-nine in the house who wisely voted on the last day of the'session against.any increase of the army, we find the names of Messrs. | Cook, Felton and Hart ridge. The State Senatorial question is one between Floyd and Chattooga that will have to be settled in the Kingston convention by the Bartow delegates as umpire. There are a number of candidates for the Legislature, and we do not | give their names for the reason that , we do not suppose they desire the fact known. Isn’t this political campaign mighty dull at this advanced stage of the po litical season? New Advertisements. 'national hotel, ATLANTA, GEORGIA.
