OUR DAWSON LETTER.
)aw8on, Ga., November 9, 1880.
•Ir. Editor.—The great election
am is oveT, and we of the South will
quietly settle down nnder onr <
and fig tree. A nobleman, the superb
Hancock, is shelved to make room fot
a sharply defined sectional agitator.
The National Democratic party ia in
its death throes, and we of the South
must be wise enongh to properly take
in the situation, so that we may throw
around ns safeguards for the future.
Down heTe, we heartily indorse yoni
late position, that instead of a solid
South upon Democratic principles,
work and form a National party
upon which will ultimately drive from
power an unscrupulous sectional party
It is a pity that on the eve of i
great Presidential election onr foremost
men cannot act with discretion. Wade
Hampton has been a stumbling block
to us, aud it is truly believed that his
unwise utterances went far to “cripple”
ns in the recent gallant fight we made.
A man’s record as a brave Confederate
soldier don't, and should not.Jsavc him
from sharp criticism, if he deserves it
Living issues are now before us. It i
a happy thought, that the great com
monwealth of Georgia, an empire it
itself, guided as she hat always beei
by “wisdom, justice and moderation,’
will contiue to grow in her greatness,
and unmindful of designing politicians,
in the prond assertion of her sovereign
ty, will ever continue to be a “land
mark” for all that is pure in social as
well as in political life. The little fam
ily quarrel we had a short time since is
now entirely forgotten, and wc are to
day in unison upon everything that
will enhance the greatness of Georgia.
Now, for something local and per-
DAWSON.
Onr little town a few days ago was
enlivened by Coup’*circus, and it was
a great day in the minds of the men,
women and children. At least six
thousand people were upon onr streets
—four thousand of that number visited
the circus in the afternoon. The best
of order prevailed—hut little drunk
enness. The members of the troupe im
pressed every one favorably by their
deportment, and led us to realize the
fact that, “a gentlemanly cirens”

while here, who died snddeuly
from heart disease. The bnrial cere
monies in the afternoon were imposing.
a in full uniform escorting the
o the grave, followed by the
ladies and gentlemen of the troupe, and
citizens of the place. At the grave a
solemn dirge was played by the bands
and an address delivered by one of the
company; after which, the Rev. W.
M. Hayes, pastor of the Methodist
church here, read the bnrial service,
then followed the closing up of the
grave—wending onr way sorrowfully
from the grave of the “stranger.”
COL. 8. WISE PARKED.
This gentleman is rusticating among
i. He hears his defeat like a hero.
Wise is a clever fellow, and with any
amount of hard sense, and though on
the other line ot politics from ns, yet,
he is universally liked here. The Col
onel got more than a complimentary
vote, and hia lateness entering the race
may have operated against him.

The article.states that the-tail of tile
Republican ticket, meaning Colonel
Parker, was scratched*Hike tl* d—1”
in .Sumter county. 'I understand that,
this is true, and that it was owing in
part to the opposition of. Colqnel .lack
Brown, who, 1 ara reliably iuform_ed,
worked against Parker. I am also ad
vised that llepablican electoral tick*
with my name omitted were obtained
and put iu circulation. I cannot at this
writing say positivelywho did this, hut
I strongly suspicion Col. Jack Brown.
I ara unwilling to believe that General
Phil Cook, the Ilemochitic ndmincc for
Congress, whom I ardently opposed,
would attack me in suclt a small way.
Bnt says the article “the Republicans
now attribute their misfortune to one
Wm. P. Pierce, of Camilla, notoriety, a
carpet-bagger from Indiana, a clerk it
the Postoflice Department in Washing
ton, and a quadrennial visitor of ‘Lee
county.” These epithets regarding my
residence, from Colonel Brown, in the
face of circumstances well known tothe
citizens of Americus, sink into little
ness and contempt among a people of
refined and manly feelings. The pcqple
of Lee county know full well that I set
tled there before the reconstruction acts
were passed and with no purpose to en
gage in politics of to seek office. They
know all about my settlement there and
all about the character of my sojourn
here, and never have they challenged
my vote nor called in question the full
est enjoyment of my rights as a bona
fide resident of that county. And at
the late election in Lee, where Garfield
received a fair election and a majority
of four hundred and fifty-two votes, I
ran ahead of the remainder of the Re
publican electoral ticket by reason of
complimentary votes from among nty
Democratic friends.
.e, says the article, speaking of my-
convcned his committee at llawk-
ille, and “soliloquized thus, ‘well,
there is Brown, who has abaudoued the
and left the State—by the by, we
will take Parker,’ etc. “This solilo
quy being satisfactory to his mind, he
prevailed upon his committee toendorse
Parker.” 1 have, Mr. Editor, been
otherwise accused of nndnly prejudicing
the committee against Colonel Brown,
and forcing Colonel Parker upon the
Republican party of the District, and J
have plainly denied it by letter to Col.
Brown. Bnt what are the facts of the
i, you remember, a con
mittee created by the Republican Dii
trict convention to take charge of the
matter of running a candidate for Con
gress. 1 was made chairman of it, al
though I was not present hut was here
in Washington at the time. It met
Hawkinsville, October 12,1880. Ci
Parker was not my first choice. He a
I both urged another gentleman to !
his name go before the committee, hut
we were not successful. Under the cir
cumstances the committee unanimously
endorsed Colonel Parker without being
“prevailed” upon to do so. A resolu
tion was passed expressing trust in hit
“ability, integrity aud patriotism” and
advising the Republicans of the district
to support him. T favored Colonel
Parker, but I cannot now call to min
that I said anything whatever again.
Colonel Rrown. 1 did not soliloquize
that he had “abandoned the l
left the State;” though f may l
iloquized that he had been on
at Americus and had left there. I had
understood that he wanted to run I
Congress, hut 1 did.not consider th
he was fully in the race for Congrei
and hence 1 could not have considered
that he had abandoned the race. A
man must first get into a race before he
can abandon it. It would appear,how
ever, from the article in question, that
Colonel Brown was in the race for Con
gress at the time of the committee meet
ing and “promptly withdrew as soon as
he received information of the endorse
ment” of Colonel Parker by the commit
tee. This may he true. A man may
be a candidate for Congress within him
self or talk it to his friends. Yet prac
tically speaking, in these days of news
paper circulation, his candidacy is usu
ally dated by the public from the time
he announces himself in the papers, and
I never heard of such announcement
from Colonel Brown till several days
after the committee meeting when the
following telegram appeared in your pa
per under the caption of
tho fruits, of the victory we have
lately won in a desperate figh*, we will
carry Georgia'for General Grant.” We
have elected our Governor—we have

Eirrroh Republican: Please announce
me as an Independent candidate Sot
Congress from the Third Congressional
District of Georgia. Jack Browx.”
In conclusion, Mr. Editor, I begthui
publicly to acknowledge the fair am
manly treatment I, as a Republicat
candidate tor elector, received at tin
hands of the Democrats of Snmterconn
ty during the late campaign. I believi
there was substantially a fair election
there. So far as I know such
throughout the District,
pressed myself to the lion. Firs
tant Postmaster General upon my retnrn
to the Postoflice Department. The
“waving of the bloody shirt” i
so far as that district 4s concerned,
would he absolutely wrong. I should
deplore it. I hope and believe the time
is not far distant when the people of
the District will divide promiscuously
between the two parties regardle;
or color. Let such be the
throughout the State, anil the discord
of the past will hush forever, and Geor
gia willrepring forward to take her just
ly high rank among her sister States.
Very Respectfully, W. P. Pierce.
