HINTS TO THE DECATUR DEMO
CRACY.
As wi'l be seen, by reference to the
Report of the Executive Committees
in another column, the nomination of
candidates fur the Democracy ofDeca
tur wiM lake place in Bainbridge on
the First Tuesday in September
Next. Said nominations arc to
made by a committee composed
three delegates from each militia dis
trict in the county.
In nominating these candidates the
committee should take special care to
select men who are most popular with
the masses. His being a farmer Bhould
add no more to his qualifications as a
candidate than if a lawyer, a mechanic
or a merchant. The m’ain requisites
should be incorruptible Democracy
ability, integrity and popularity with
tho party. The committee must
not speak for itself, but for the Demo
cratic party, therefore > its delibera
lions must be outside of personal in
terests.
We approve of the idea of a mass
meeting as advanced by our corres
pondent “Junius” in another column,
for then the inevitable perplexities
that will surround the nominating
committee may be avoided, nod the
nominations made more acceptable—
to the peop'c: besides the committee
will be relieved of half its responsibili
ty. There is considerable of that
spirit among the people as evinced by
the letters of “Jusius” and “Rough
Hand,” and it does seem to us that
the managers of the party can lose
nothing by promptly dispe.Iiug it.
The hope of Decatur county is in
the selection of candidates; and should
we fail in exerting the. proper wisdom
in the matter, by placing unaccepta
ble men in the lead, the county must
still remain under its present Radi
cal regime. We must not pander to
the prejudice of any particular person,
•ring or clique, but upon a careful es
timate of the inclination and wishes
of the entire party we must predi
cate a nomination.
Auother thing we would suggest as
worthy of consideration is, that great
er effort should bo made by the party
to secuie the co-operation of the
working men of the county. We mean
by that the mechanics and the smaller
farmers. They are the salvation of
onr country—the bone and sinew of
it; and although their bauds may
be hardened and their cheeks bronzed
by the tortid sun, they have hearts as
noble, aud prisciples as pure at ever
wete embosomed in man.
■ If there are really “rings” and
“cliques,” as complained of by our
correspondents, we would respectfully
refer them to the fact that the Democ
racy will uot abide their decisions; and
if it cao be-proven that nominations
are made at the option of “rings” con
trary to the will of the entire party,
we are at liberty to state that such
action will not be recognized as bind
ing upon the party. \Y« do no*, ap
prehend any danger ol this kind,
however, but it ia best- to put all od
their guard
We hope that every man in the
county who is interested in this elec
tion, will, write ns about the matter.
Let us bear from you—give cs vour
vie*s, and tha saim s of your favorite
so that wo can keep the
Editor Democrat:
Notwithstanding the patriotism
anti-favoritism, and apparent disin
terestedness of ihc leaders of the De
catur Democracy, I am very fearful
that the nominating Committee will
be guided more by a certain “ring
than by the dictates of the people’:
will in their selection of candidates,
Its all very well to speak to the
people about party usage, and par
ty obligation—that objectionable or
unobjectionable you must support
the nominees. But if the people are
not heard .n this matter of nomina
tion are they to be bound by^it'?
it reasonable to expect them to" sup
port objectionable candidates be
cause they have found favor in the
few committeemen charged with the
nomination? I answer emphatical
ly, no. .
Decatur is tamous for putting can
didates on the party that t]ie voice
of the party, if it could be heard
otftskle ofits “cut and dried” dele
gations, never had before commen
ded. Mr. So-so lias his favorite, and
a Mr. So-so is chairman of a meeting,
so he appoints the first" 3Ir. S. on‘
the nominating committee, then he,
the first 31r. S. votes for his friend,
and he is nominated to the disgust
of the party.
It is time this state of tilings had
ceased. It is time old “oldfogydom”
had bpeft stormed, captured and
destroyed. , It is lime the poor
working people of*Decatur county
were allowed to raise their voice in
behalf of men of their own choice.
Look at our public meetings; they
arc never attended by our laboring
classes, and why ? Because they
are never allowed to be beard in the
matte.'; whether from intent or not
oh the part of the managers, I am
not prepared to say. - .
One thing is sure, a certain clique
is always placed on committees, &c.,
and, the people never really have
anything to do with the matter—
hence, the majority never attend.
This thing must be stopped. The
party want no “old fogy,” or “mam
my’s apron string” candidates—non
those who “know too much about
farming,” or the stuck-up “limbs of
tlic law” whose only importance
arises from their own estimation.
Old chronic politicians who pulled
the party strings a half century ago
must stand aside. They’ve got no
business attempting to control that
which has virtually passed beyond
their control.
I think, therefore, that on the
Saturday proceeding the day of nom
ination, a mass meeting of the peo
ple of Decatur county should be
held for the purpose of nominating
a ficket from the people to place be
fore the nominating committee on
the day appointed for their meeting.
By so doing the people can mate
rially check the wire-workings that
are always manifest at such times.
am in favor of a mass nomination
out-and-out, and it seems to me the
height of nonsense to conduct county
nominations other-wise, but at pres
ent our only recourse is for the mass
meeting to place names before the
committee. Let every Democrat
whos patriotism rises above the in
clinations of self unite in this matter,
and have the chairman of the Execu
tive Committee of the county to call
said mcetting.

On motion of L. M. Griffin, Esq.,

this (18th) Senatorial District, that
the Chairman of this meeting be and

several counties in a Convention to

The call of the Chairman of the
Congressional District Committee
for a District Nominating Conven

H. G. Crawford,
Resolved, That a County Conven
tion of the Democracy and Liberal
Republicans be and is called to meet
at Bainbridge on the first Tuesday
in'September pirox., to select Dele
gates to represent this county or. the
same District Nominating Conven

Before adjourning it was, on mo
tion of that tried, true And veteran
Democrat, H. G. Crawford,
Resolved, That as a Convention
composed of County and District
Committeemen, we hereby pledge
ourselves as said Committeemen and
as Democrats to bend every energy
and work incessantly and without
ceasing, to accomplish the defeat of
Radicalism and the purging ot our
county of its corruptions and misrule,
and for the triumph of Constitutional
freedom and a pure administration
of the aljiirs of government, nation
al, State and county. ■
That in the recent glorious triumph
in North Carolina we have ar. earn
est illustration of what may be ac
complished by unremitting, incessaut
work and energy; and that we, in
our county, will emulate and draw
inspiration from an example as sug
gestive as it is glorious.
In publishing the above actioD of-
your Committee, allow-me, in behalf
of the cause which we prize so highly
and whence our organization and
General Grant persists in pursuing,
is giving him daily doses of advice
which must be so much physic to
him. Here is a specimen:
The Republican party should bear
it in mind that the war of the rebell
ion is over. No armed rebels mock
the majesty of federal authority in
North Carolina; no hostile artillery
thunders against our forts in Charles
ton harbor; no gray-coated sharp
shooter draws a bead on the blue
uniform by the waters of the Missis
sippi. General Grant’s victories
changed all that. We arc now all
loyal citizens. Those only who would
cherish the resentments of the war
are public enemies. Let the Presi
dent assume the command oi the
government as of old he commanded
the army. Let him, by the exercise
of executive power,remove the troop
which held white citizens of Southern
States under the control of their late
slaves, withdraw his confidence from
the carpet-bag thieves, who threaten
voters with arrest and imprisonment
it they dare speak their sentiments,
and give us a free and fair election
in every State in the Union.
The East of the Bourbons.
A Bolter Interviewed—Wiiat
Will be Done at Louisville-
Great Expectations—A Gree
ley Democrat to be Nominated
. on a Straight Ticket to Elect
Grant..
Among the Baltimore bolters was
Judge Van Allen, of Watkins, this
State. The Judge is known as one
of the anti-Greeley, old Bourbon
Democrats, and 'it is' understood
that lie is working in caucus .with
others of his kind to secure the suc
cess of the coming Free-trade, Labor-
Reform, Old Democratic Conven
tion in Louisville. Tic has been
stopping ac the St. Nicholas Hotel
during his stay of a few days in the
city, and, just priorto his departure
yesterday, many facts were gleaned
from him as to the feeling .of the
true Democrats” who will support
neither Greeley nor Grant, but who
propose, at Louisville, to nominate
and independent ticket for President;
and as to the proposed future action
of his party, which, from the fpllow-
interview, a pretty correct un
derstanding can. be had:
What is the intention of the dele
gates when they get. to Lousville, to
the Convention, wliieji, I am inform
ed, will be held on the 3d of Septem
ber next?” ;
To make a straight out-and-out
Democratic nomination.”
What effect had the ratification
of 31r. Greeley at Baltimore?”
Throughout the country there
arc many Democrats who are not
satisfied with the nominating of a
Republican at Baltimore, and who
look upon the result of the Baltimore
Convention as a move to the final
disbandment of the Democratic
organization. There arc thousands
upon thousands of Democrats, all
over the country who wilj not vote
for 3Ir. Greeley under tiie circum
stances,-nor will they vote for Grant.
“What will they do, then—will
they not cast votes at all?”
“These, sir, like good Democrats,
demand the putting up of a canidate
on a Democratic platform, as has
been the custom for years and years.
For such a candidate they will vote,
and for no other.”
“What if the Convention at Lou
isville or anywhere else fail to make
a nomination?
“If such a candidate is not placed
in nomination they will remain away
from the polls.”
“What is going to be done at Lou
isville?”
“The Convention will be held by
thpgc who have no choice between
Greeley and Grant. The work is
not for the piesent, but for the fu
ture, and men are wanted of suffi
cient capacity, integrity and hones
ty, to be made the standard bearers
in a great campaign like this. The
object is not to defeat 3Ir. Greeley
nor Mr. Grant. It is to preserve
tlje Democratic party as a bold and
vigorous organization with its princi
ples; working all the time to defend
and inspire its prominent men to
stand by them; thinking more for
encouraging our own than of reward.
The best fight will be made that can
be made, and the best man that can
found will be nominated. We will
have an electoral ticket in every
State, poll every vote we can, and’
gain as much strength a's possible,
earing nothing of what becomes of
any other candidate in the field.
Several letters have been reoeived
by the parties at the head of this
movement proposing the name of
Charles O'CoDnor, with some good
Western man for Vice President.

Is fhere a Democrat who has not
asserted again and again that a
change of administration is neces
sarv to the salvation of the country?
Is there one who has mere confi
dence in Grant than ho had when he
voted against him in 18GS ? Has
Grant done amythingto beget such
confidence or to lessen our appre
hension ? Has. lie not, ever since
he acquired power, turned his back
on his saying, “Let us have peace,
that contributed so much to bring
him into power ? Have not the harsh
est and most unconstitutional meas
ures that his partisans could devise
received his sanction—if, indeed,
they were not suggested by him ?
Has he not shown an unmistakable
predilection for a government of
force, supplemWited by a corrupt
use of public patronage ? Was the
despotism of party ever so fierce and
unrelenting as it has been under'his
administration ? And does i.ot every
Democrat feci that any change
of administration must be for the
better—at least that none can be
for the worse? 'Why then hesitate?
Our choice is confined to Grant and
Greeley. We must support one or
the other, or do what an American
citizen should be aslnncd to da—
*'• liter_Uyrefusing
to vote.
Greeley has always been opposed
to us, but now, in-many*.things, he
agrees with us. Grant, was once a
Democrat, but. now lie is totally # op-
pdsed to Democracy. Whatever
others may think I prefer a consis
tent opponent, governed by princi
ple, to a renegade Democrat, turned
into a bitter and persecuting Radi
cal. We do make some sacrifice of
pride and prejudice in supporting
Greeley, but we do not make a sac
rificc of principle. Our principles
oquire us to defeat Grant’s re-clcc
tion, if in our power to do so. Being
unable, in the present posture of
affairs, to defeat him with a Demo
crat, common sense dictates that we
should do the next best thing, defeat
him with Greeley. That Greeley’s
election would do much to allay dis
cord and restore harmony, cannot
be doubted, l’cacc would then be a
reality, and not. a mere name. And
that his Administration would'do
more to expel the abuses and cor
ruption that disgra.ee public affairs,
may, 1 believe, be safely affirmed.
Entertaining these views, I hope to
sec him elected.

• DECLARATION.
It Was well known to ns that onr late
brother had contracted that fatal disease,
consumption. Ou the 22nd day of June.
1871, in feeble health he left ns for Rain-
bridge, Ga., where he had made arrange
ments once more to return to mercantile
pursuits, hut it was evident that his days
wi re few; yet it wms possible that-they might
l>e prolonged, and his friends still hoped, as
it Here, against hope. A^is! how soon was
That hope doomed to disappointment. Ou
the 2!lth day of December last his soul went
out on the great sea which rolls around the
world. In view of the many virtues of our
departed brother, we cannot forbear to say
that he was a man of sterling worth, a good
and efficient citizen, and a faithful and stead
fast friend; and during the palmy days of
his prosperity noted for his charity, ever
ready to help the needy. Asa Mason he w its
devoted to the Order. His wit and vivacity,
not less than his easy manner, anil rare in
tellect, voluntarily brought him in contact
.w ith the refined, among whom he had a host
of friends, who loved him as a brother and
now mourn his loss. Scrupulously correct
principles, a rigid sense of. duty, amounting
nervous exactness, even in the'minutest
affairs, refined and artistic in tastes, and a
;enial disposition through prolonged suffer-
ug, was the characteristic of our departed
brother.

A' Soutlseiii Colored Man on
the Situation.
From thcEufaula (Alabama)A 7 m'.v
we extract the following caul from
a collot'Qd man, showing why he and
bis brethren should support Greeley:
A CARD.
I take this method of announcing
to my colored brethren that I con
sider it my duty to advocate the
election of Greeley and Brawn in
this presidential canvass, and that
I expect to take the stump and de
liver several speeches before the
election in November next, and shall
invite all to hear me. 1 have stud
ied this matter thoroughly, and have
come to llie conclusion that Horace
Greeley has been and is now the
best friend to the. colored men in
America, and that it is to him, more
than all others, wc are indebted for
freedom, and I feel that should I
not vote for him, I would be wot
than an Infidel. Mr. Greeley state
to a colored man lrom Texas on last
Friday that he was in favor of equa
lights among all men, regardless of
color, and in saving this he repeats
what lie lias always said, and now
stands where lie has stood lor forty
or fifty years, while General Grant
was a pro-slavery Democrat before
the war. And while the war was
going on he said, “that if Mr. Gree
ley and the North tried to free the
slaves, he would sheathe his sword
and stop fighting.” And it seems
to me tljat all the use he and his
party have for coloicd men is'fo get
their votes and keep them in office.
I am nor.a Democrat, bur I am a
Greeley Republican, and expect to
vote for him single shot, and don’t
think any man has a right to dispute
my freedom to do so. Mr. Greeley
says peace and freedom to all the
world, and that being my motto I
shall not argue with iny brethren on
the streets, but, when the time
comes, will declare my. principles
from the stump. Come with me, my
colored brethren, and let us vote
for and elect Horace Greeley—the
man that gave us our freedom, and
then we will have peace, good will
and brotherly love in our country.
