THE DEMOCRAT.
As the Democrat is the only Dem
ocratic newspaper in Decatur county
and is the organ of the Democracy,
we call upon the party to extend its j oiTthe 8th of May, must take’"such
circulation. The coming campaign I action as will cause a concentration

A Convention of the Republi
can Party of Georgia-
We have received a large circular
addressed “to the friends and sup
porters of the National Uuion Re
publican Party iu the State of Geor
gia,’’ by the “Georgia Republican
Campaign Club.”
The object of the document is to
assemble a Republican Convention
in Macon on the 8th of May next.—
From the circular address it would
seem that what is left of the “Na
tional Union Republican Party of
Georgia,” like the fatuous cats of
Kilkenny, are eating each other up,
and by the election we do not expect
to see sojnuch as a tail left.
The address concludes as follows:
“The misfortune with the Repub
lican Party in Georgia, during the
past four years, has been that all of
its patronage and power has been
exhausted for the promotion of cer
tain men aud measures, without any
regard lor the welfare or principles
oi our party. This effort to make
the party subservient to certain men
and measures produced internal dis
sension and wars, which caused more
ammunition to be expended upon
one another than upon the common
enemy. The honest masses of our
party having demanded a conven
tion, will now take its affairs iu hand
and will plaee iu position only those
who will stop these internal wars,
and see that all our power and all
our ammunition is expended on the
common enemy. .We- have been
fighting one another,now for four
years, and the convention iu Macon,
than a widely circulated party .news
paper.
Wcliavc secured theTiest political
talent the county affords,.*whichjwill
be used in the Democrat when the
campaign is fairly opened. .
The Democrat is not “Independ
ent,” but Democratic at all times
andoinder all circumstances,[believ
ing such a course thcjouly true one
in these davs.
Tlie Coming Campaign—What
the DeiuncracyTs Expected to
Accomplish.
It is our opinion that the coming
elections will be the mo3t hotlv
contested |Jiat the American people
ever participated in. The excesses
of the Radical party have diminished
its ranks, and haw called_for & re
form branch of that party. There
fore, the Democracy hold more van
tage ground than ever before. They
have leaned much from their past re
verses, and will enter the campaign
With a greater degree of discipline,
coolness aud calculation.
The success of a campaign de
pends a great deal upon the manner
in which it is entered; as a battle
does upon the preliminary disposi
tion of the troops. No matter how
noble the principles of a party; no
matter how much the good of the I state Convention is held; to nominate
country demands its success, it can-1 a candidate for Governor; and to
up to the convention delegates com
posed of the best men in the party;
men of character aud standing,
whether white or colored, aud not
men of notoriously bad character,
nor men who have proven defaulters
in every position they ever held.—
Let men of bad character, defaulters
and gamblers, represent none but
Democratic constituents. We must
show to the people of Georgia, in t he
selection of delegates to tlie Macon
Convention, that faro-bank keepers
and gamblers have no longer any
voice in the affairs of our party.—
The masses of our party having de
manded a convention, must now
make it a success, by having every
county in the State represented by
honest and upright men, whether
white <Sir%aek, ami by so doing, we
can hope for the support ol" many!

party, when they tiniTthe Democracy
has no candidate in the field for
President, and is assuming to sell
them to the disaffected Republican
candidate.
*****
“The convention to assemble in
Macon on the 8th of May next, is a
more Important convention than any
we have ever held. It will devolve
upon that convention to appoint del
egates to the Philadelphia conven
tion to nominate candidates for Pres
ident and Vice-President of the
United States; to appoint a State
Central Committee to manage the
affairs of our party in the approach
ing campaign, and until another
not be successful if guided by blind
leaders.
This year we -have a Presidential
election—an event long-to-bc-remem-
bqrcd in the "history of our country.
That election will decide whether or
not the- prejudice, malignity and
hate engendered by the late war are
subsided. We are inclined to think
that a better feeling toward the
South has come over the Northern
people ; at least we judge so, from
the manly utterances of Cart Sehurz,
Trumbull, aqjl others of the Repu'>-
liean ranks. These liberal Repub-J
lieans should be met in a ft iendly i
spirit by the Democracy, and their
propositions should receive earnest
attention.
Grant will no doubt get the notn-
nominate an Electoral Ticket for
President and Vice-President. Every
county in the State must be repre
sented by good men and working
men. Republicans, every where
throughout the State, must organize
clubs' in their respective counties,
and see that delegates are appointed, j

are in the asceudeucy throughout

and illustrious a standard-bearer as!
