THE RESULT AT ST. LOUIS I
Above we give the “latest news,” from
which our readers can make their own deduc
tions. The otherwise crowded state of our
columns precludes lengthy comment, even
were that deemed essential. But under the
circumstances it is not at all necessary. The
lines have long since been plainly drawn ;
there is no neutral ground. On the one
hand the issue is VICTORY ! on the other
it is DEATH—politically, financially and
commercially 1 Death to prosperity —death
to all that is worth living for! And as an
humble sentinel on the watch-tower of Ame
rican, and more especially Southern liberty,
we can only exhort Georgians who have their
whole country at heart—who love their own
native State and their own glorious sunny
clime—to resolve from this good hour “whom
they will serve !” Tilden and Hendricks!
They can, they must be elected !
Wc return thanks to the kind gentleman
who favored us with the above news.
ATTENTION!
The Democrats of Jackson county will meet
in Convention at Jefferson, on Saturday, the
loth day of July, to select delegates to rep
resent them in the Gubernatorial Convention,
to be held in Atlanta on the 2d day of Au
gust next. It is hoped that all the people
who feel an interest in who shall be Governor,
will attend this meeting, and see to it that
the delegates represent their wishes. Let us
have a rousing meeting.

Chairman Ex. Cam. Jackson County.
Having resolved to touch on some mat
ters deemed of interest just at the present
juncture, our “ news” department is rather
“ meagre” this week. The fact is, however,
there is very little general news outside of
what we give any way.
The Northeastern Railroad.
The Board of Directors held a meeting in
Athens last Saturday, some of the particulars
of which were partially given us hy Captain
Henry Bensse at the time; but we find the
following in regard to the enterprise in the
Georgian of the 27th, and copy in full from
that paper:
From ('apt. Bensse. who has just returned
from tile terminus of this road, we learn that
the road is now a little less than eleven miles
from our city, being at Tuck’s place in Jack
son county. Work will commence next, week
upon the Oconee bridge, by Grant, Wilkins
& Post, first-class contractors, who will put it
through in a short time. Superintendent Moss
has gone to Atlanta to procure two turntables
and to secure extra force upon the road.—
The locomotive, “ R. L. Moss,” with passenger
and baggage car, will be finished by July Ist.
The following are the stations upon the
road :
Athens, “Center.” (6 miles,) named for the
late Geo. W. Center. “ Nicholson,” (at the
Benton place, 111 miles,) named for the Pres
ident of the road, Harmony Grove. (18 miles,)
Maysville. (24 miles.) Gillsville, (32 miles,)
and Lula City, about 40 miles from Athens,
named for the charming daughter of one of
the Directors. Next Saturday will find the
road about midway between Athens and Har
mon j’ Grove.
It will be seen that a Depot petitioned for
some time since by parties in this county has
been settled upon.
The Athens Mineral Springs
Continues to be the centre of attraction in
that city. We “ laid over” in that “ burgh”
on Saturday night last, and rising quite early
Sunday morning, we had the pleasure of
noting, personally, the effect this discovery
lias had on the people of our old and highly
esteemed “ home.” As early as half-past three
in the morning, the “ living stream” was in
motion, coming and going to this new but al
ready famous resort. And we were assured
that it would scarcely cease till nine at night.

Col. Christy, of the Watchman, Athens, has
received a communication, too late for pub
lication in his last issue, in regard to a re
ported “ fiasco” between the gentlemen above
named. The Col. says that his correspondent,
who professes to give all the facts, relieves
both gentlemen from the peculiar attitude in
which they were placed by the statement of
the Atlanta Telegram.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
We have read with some interest, the plat
form adopted by the Republican party at
Cincinnnati. It seems to us that, in some
respects, it is more objectionable than any
thing of the kind that lias come to our notice
since the war. What that party would have
blushed to confess a few years ago, they now
flaunt before the world in the very first plank
of their exceedingly un-republican platform.
They say, “The United States of America is
a Nation and not a League.”
For more than forty years, the United
States was as often styled the “Confedera
tion” or “ Confederacy” as anything else.
The first Article of “Union” into which the
American people ever entered, is in these
memorable words : “The style of this Confe
deration shall be ‘The United States of Ame
rica.'” The word “nation” was then as un
meaning as it was unthought of in application
to this government. In 1838 Congress deem
ed it proper to give expression to its views
on the nature of this government, and the
following is their language, in the form of a
resolution:
Resolved, That this government was insti
tuted and adopted by the several States of
this Union as a common agent in order to
carry into effect the powers which they had
delegated by the constitution for their mu
tual security and prosperity.”
The same series of resolutions from which
we have quoted, declares that every right not
expressly delegated to the general govern
ment was reserved to the States severally.
These resolutions were passed almost by a
unanimous vote, and were then the sense of
the people. How then is it, that the once
“confederation” has now become a nation ?
The general government was then the crea
ture and the agent to subserve the interest
of the States—for mutual security and pros
perity. By what process then, has this agent
of the States (the general government) been
transformed into an engine of oppression to
crush out every right of the States ? The
Republican party has done this by the vsur
potion of power. By the same means what
may they not do? Indeed, why may they
not now adopt the more euphonious phrase,
the kingdom of America ! Or what is more
significant, the Republican despotism?
Foreign sympathy has been made to blush
at the wanton robberies by United States offi
cials, while foreign enemies have rejoiced at
the prospect of onr speedy downfall. The
friends of an honest, pure government every
where mourn over the unblushing frauds com
mitted by government sap-suckers, and are
justly indignant at the ample protection af
forded them in their foul deeds by officers in
high authority. The unquestioned treachery
of the Republican party, it is believed, cannot
find a parallel in the whole world. With the
best administration that this country can in
augurate, it will take near a score of years to
regain our former standing, which we had
attained before the Republican party came
into power. With the foul reports and black
records which characterize the Republican
party, they have the audacity to come before
the country in their platform, as follows :
“We will hold all public officials to a rigid
responsibility, and engage that the prosecu
tion and punishment of all who betray offi
cial trusts shall be speedy, thorough and un
sparing.”
This is a good promise, but how does it
look compared with their record ? They
have burdened the people with taxes; have
increased the expenditures of the government
beyond endurance, and have raised the sala
ries of officers, and }’et, unsatisfied, they
break through and plunder the treasur}'. —
What next ? Why, they must continue in
office, and in order to do this the}' must make
a good promise ; they must say that all who
betray official trusts shall be speedily punish
ed. Under these circumstances, can any
man believe them ? Should they be success
ful in the coming election, is it not probable
that dishonesty will be encouraged rather
than checked, and that all the rights of the
people will be claimed and given up until we
have nothing left save a sheer despotism?—
We warn everybody against the promotion of
such a party. Our colored friends, whose
pride it has been to point to the Republican
party as the instrument of their freedom,
would be, by it, as quickly deprived of their
freedom, if it would promote their political
purposes. Their rights would be as quickly
taken from them as was the contents of their
Savings Bank.
It seems to have been the undeviating pur
pose of that party to irritate the South since
the cessation of hostilities. They have re
constructed and re reconstructed the States ;
they have cried rebellion at the slightest com
plaints against their rascality; they have
forced upon ns the most unjust laws, compell
ing equality of the races—which God declares
are unequal. All this, and more, they have
done, it would seem, for no other purpose
than to extort from the South a spirit of op
position out of which they might make capi
tal to keep themselves in power. Y'et we
read in their platform, “We sincerely depre
cate all sectional feeling and tendencies.”—
Their words and their works are discordant
and irreconcilable. Bat perhaps they mean
that no one has any right to express an opin
ion in opposition to theirs ; that the South—
under their heel—must give signs of affection
before they will cease to grind them. Their
works show that they are sorry because there
is not now a worse state of feeling existing
between the different sections of our eouutrv.
It is believed that peace and good will would
result in their loss of power. It is, therefore,
not what they want.
This document (the platform) will be re
verted to again in the future.

INDEPENDENCE DAY.
Next Tuesday will be the Fourth of July;
and on that day the first hundred years of
American Independence will be completed.
In this number of our paper we publish in
full the Celebrated Declaration of Independ
ence made and published by our patriotic
forefathers in Philadelphia, July the fourth,
1776, one hundred years ago. Fortwo years
or more the Continental Congress had been
in session in the city of William Penn.
Again and again had that Congress approach
ed the throne of King George with humble
remonstrances and petitions, asking and en
treating that they might be relieved of the
grievances and the oppressive burdens im
posed upon them by the Mother country;
and just as often had they been rudely spurn
ed from the foot of the British throne, with
additional wrongs and insults heaped npon
them. At length the patience of the op
pressed Colonists became exhausted and
“forbearance ceased to be a virtue.” At
Lexington and Concord, and at Charlestown
and Bunkers Hill, England had shed the
blood of her own subjects, who had simply
been contending for those rights guaranteed
by the British Constitution, to all British
subjects wherever their residence might be.
The Colonists could endure their oppressions
no longer. In the month of May, the
citizens of Mecklenburg county, N. C., then
embracing a territory out of which several
counties have since been formed, and peop
led by the Scotch Irish, whose grandfathers
had fought for English freedom under the
leadership of the gallant King William Hen
ry, Prince of Orange, at Londonderry and
at the battle of the Boyne, assembled in the
village of Charlotte, and declared that Meck
lenburg was free and independent of the
British Crown, and by the hands of young
James Jack, one of their number, they sent
their Declaration of Independence to the
Continental Congress then sitting in Inde
pendence Ilall, in Philadelphia. •e than
thirteen months afterwards all the thirteen
Colonies, in Congress assembled, adopted
and published to the world that Declaration
of Independence printed in this number of
our paper; and from that da}', July 4th, 1776,
the thirteen Colonies became the free and
independent United States of America. The
names of Button Gwinnett, Lyman Hall and
George Walton, from Georgia, are appended
to the celebrated document. Georgia was
then the youngest and weakest of the old
thirteen. She then had only a few thousands
of citizens living on the sea-coast, and up
and down the west bank of the Savannah
river. During the first century of our free
political existence, twenty-five new states
have entered the Union, and now the Con
stellation of American Freedom presents to
the eyes of an admiring world, the splendor
of thirty-eight brightly shining stars. May
their lustre never be dimmed ; and may not
one of the shining cluster ever become like
the “Lost Pliad seen no more below.” God
grant that our happy country may enjoy in
freedom and prosperity, many future Cen
tennials.
Thomas Jefferson, for whom our little {pity
was named, and who was afterwards the
third President of the United States, was the
writer of this far-famed document. Asa lit
erary composition it has never been surpass
ed. It is preeminently an English Classic,
and deserves to be studied for its literary
merits, as well as for the general excellency
and soundness of its principles. But alas,
no man here below, is perfect, and while our
sires of’76 were good and wise men, and
ranked among Nature's noblest noblemen,
yet in the very front and face of this Declar
ation of Independence the}' have uttered and
published to the world a most glaring false
hood, and a most abominable political here
sy, which ever since has been most potent
for evil—first in France, and afterwards here
and in many other nations of the globe. We
allude to the assertion in the Declaration of
Independence that “All men are created
equal.” The Great God of all, who made
all things, never yet made any two things or
beings in all respects, equal. If wc explore
all the fields and forests of this great globe,
and walk up and down upon ever} 7 sea-shore,
we will not find two blades of grass, or two
leaves, or two pebbles, just alike, and equal
in all things. Nor can wc anywhere discov
er two reptiles, two birds, two fishes, two
beasts or two men just alike and equal in all
respects. The Creator seems to have shun
ned a dead-level, and to have avoided same
ness, and, in order to display ITis infinite
resources, His almighty power, and bound
less wisdom, lie seems to have made every
single thing, animate and inanimate, rational
and irrarional, in some respects unlike and
unequal to ever} 7 other creature of the same
species or kind. If we consider men phys
icallyr, we will see that there have been giants
and pigmies, and every grade of men be
tween the two, ever since this world has been
peopled by the human race, and doubtless so
will it continue to be to the of time.
Some men are born well-formed and com
plete in all their parts ; while others are born
deformed and defective in some of their
members, and are doomed to live out their
brief days in constant suffering, and as per
petual objects of pity and commisseration.
Some men are born with strong and healthy
physical constitutions ; while others are born
with feeble and sickly frames, and from their
cradles Jo their graves, never experience n
single day’s entire exemption from bodily
pain and suffering.
When we view men in reference to their
mental capacities, we discover that some are
idiots, some are possessed of feeble minds,
some have good ordinary intellects, and some
are endowed with the highest attributes of
genius. In point of wealth, some men are
born in poverty, cradled in squalor, and live
and die in abject penury; while others are
born with silver spoons in their mouths,
spend their days in comfort and sumptuous
living, and are buried in great pomp and
splendor. Socially considered, men in all
ages of the world, and in all communities,
have occupied every grade in the social
scale from the lowest to the highest; and all
efforts to equalize men in their social status
have hitherto failed ; and such efforts will
inevitably fail to the very end of the world.
In like manner in regard to their civil status
and their political rights men have occupied
positions of endless diversity. In all coun
tries there have been the people and their
rulers, the governed and the governors, the
inferiors aud their superiors. And thus it
will continue to be even to the last syllable
of recorded time.
This abominable political heresy of our
Declaration of Independence was soon after
adopted in France by the Red Republicans
and was embodied in their celebrated mPtto
and watch word—“ Liberty, Fraternity and
Equality.” and inaugurated the reign of ter
ror, and deluged France in the best flood of
her own people. The same heresy gave birth
to the Black Republican party in this land
of American freedom, and has devastated
the fairest portions of our once happy coun
try. has shed oceans of blood, has destroyed
a million of lives, and has laden the people
with an intolerable and endless burden of
taxation. And yet the Black Republicans
seem blind to the ruin which they have
brought upon the country by their vain ef
forts to make all men equal, whom God hath
not created equal; and therefore in their po
litical platform recently adopted at Cincin
nati, they have re-affirmed this glaring false
hood, and seem bent on working it out to the
bitter end. But when they can reverse the
laws of gravity, and make the Mississippi
flow from the gulf to the mountains, then,
and not till then, can they make all men
equal. If this world were a dead level, stag
nation of all things, and universal death
would ensue. And if society were a dead
level—that is to say—if all men were per
fectly equal physically, mentally, pecuniarily,
socially and civilly in all respects, universal
confusion and ruin would soon prevail. But
God is wiser than man, and therefore endless
diversity reigns in 11 is dominion, and all at
tempts made by vain and wicked men to re
verse llis beneficent laws, and to render all
men equal, will only enure to their own inju
ty and discomfiture.
Mr. Whitehead’s Loss.
Mr. J. T. Whitehead, of Social Circle, fur
nishes us and his many friends generally,
with the following account of the late fire in
his town, by which he was a sufferer to quite
an extent. As noted in his letter, we are
gratified to know that Mr. W., nothing daunt
ed, is pushing ahead with his business, and
will soon be on his “ feet again,” ready to
supply the wants of all customers in his line.
The Millinery department of Mr. Whitehead’s
business will, as heretofore, be under the su
perintendence of Mrs. J. T. Whitehead :
Editor Forest News : — Having received
several letters from my friends and relatives
in your county, asking the particulars of my
loss by fire on the 11th instant, I have taken
the liberty to ask space in your paper to an
swer them.
Myself and family left home at 2 o’clock,
Saturday afternoon, to visit my brother at
Conyers, leaving everything safe, as we
thought, but before daylight Sunday morning
the whole building was enveloped in flames.
My loss is about $3,000 in merchandize, and
from SI,OOO to $2,000 in notes, though I hope
to establish most of the notes. I did not
have a dollar of insurance, and only about
S4OO saved. I did not save anything from
the wholesale room—the door could not be
opened. As to the origin of the fire, there is
no certainty. It is possible that the house
caught fire from the store chimney, used in
the ironing and fluting department, but not
at all probable. The most reasonable con
clusion, and, I may add, my impression is,
that the store was robbed, and fired to hide
the theft, we having missed some fine jewelry
which was in the show case—it being saved
with its contents. I am, however, on my feet
again, receiving new goods, and while it is
discouraging to lose the labor of eight or ten
years in a few minutes, I Ifm encouraged
when I know I can make it back, if I can
have health. Will be ready to fill all orders
with which my customers may be pleased to
favor me, in ten days.
Respectfully, J. T. Whitehead.
Social Circle, Ga., June 21 st, ’76.
L#The Knoxville Tribune calls attention
to an oversight in the Cincinnati Republican
platform. The two last sections, charging
the Democracy with treasonable sympathies
because the Southern States are not unitedly
Republican, evidence the fact that the plat
form was fixed up for Blaine, and when he
handed in his checks to Ilayes his ardent
friends forgot to take the bloody shirt away.
PP’The Macon Telegraph says that Messrs.
King & Pratt, of Marietta, have invented a
two-horse wagon body* for farm use, which
displays considerable skill and ingenuity in
its construction. It is. so arranged as to be
taken to pieces in two minutes by a single
person, and when needed can be put together
again with equal facility. The whole con
trivance is a model of convenience and sim
plicity, and has been patented by the origi
nators. This body possesses the double ad
vantage of being handled with ease by the
driver alone, while it can also be always kept
under cover and thus preserved indefinitely.
It is constant exposure, or imperfect shelter
from the weather, that plays havoc with farm
ers vehicles and implements.
What Happened to the Baby.
From Vermont comes the following story
of the mishaps of a baby : “ Last Thursday,
Mrs. W. J. Boyce, of Woodstock, placed her
baby, nine months old, in a baby cab stand
ing on the portico, to wheel it in the street.
She left it for a moment and stepped into the
house, when ths cab started, rolled four steps
to the driveway, across that and a piece of
ground some ten or twelve rods in width, to
the bank of the Quechee river, thence down
a bank some fifteen feet high into the river.
The mother had started after, but was unable
to catch up. She dashed into the river and
caught the child, but being in deep water, was
obliged to let go the babe to save herself.—
The housemaid had followed after her, and
reached the river in time to save the mother.
The baby was carried by* the current about
twenty five rods, when a gentleman who had
witnessed the affair reached the stream and
rescued the child.”

Santa Fe.
We do notmean the capital of New Mexico,
but a district in JacksonJ coutity, known as
Santa Fe. We heard a good story the other
day, related at the expense of a clever citi
zen. It seems he had been troubled by ma
rauders in his poultry house, who had destroy
ed eggs and fowls. Suspecting some of his
neighbors’ dogs, he scattered strychnine
about the premises, and next morning found
two of his own favorite dogs dead ! He tried
it again the next night, and found the follow
ing morning a neighbor’s dog, nine chickens
and a negro dead ! We learn, though, that
the negro was not poisoned. It is said that
he has abandoned the use of strychnine.
In the same district, we are informed, two
post-oak trees, near each other, have united
about seven feet from the ground, and form
a round, solid trunk, which has thus grown
to be about thirty feet in height.— Southern

LINCOLN BUTTER POAYDER is an entirely I
harmless article made from a celebrated English |
recipe, and now in daily use by many of the mo* l l
noted farmers in the butter counties around PM*’l
delphia. ,1
In hot weather this Powder makes butter nuicn I
firmer and sweeter than it usually is, and keep? "I
from turning rancid. It also removes the strong■
flavor of turnips, garlic, weeds, corn stalks, cotton ■
seed, etc.; and the increased yield of butter mot' l l
more than pays the trifling expense of using 6. I
35 cents per package.
