OF NEW YORK.
FOR VICE-PRESIDENT :
THOMAS A. HENDRICKS,
OF INDIANA.
For Senator. 8th District,
HON. ISAAC A. BUSH, of Miller.
FUND AMEN T AL PRIN CIFLES
The St. Louis platform, with no uncertain
sounds, gives utterance to these great prin
ciples that constitute the foundation of our
republican system :
Faith in the permanence of the Federal
Unior.
Devotion to the Constitution of the United
States, with its amendments universally ac
cepted as a final settlement of the controver
sies that engendered civil war.
Steadfast confidence in the perpetuity of
republican self-government.
A resolute acquiescence in the will of the
majority, the vital principle of republics.
The supremacy of the civil over tho mili
tary authority.
The total separation of church and State,
for the sake alike of religious freedom.
The equality of all citizens before just
laws of their own enactment.
The liberty of individual conduct unvexed
by sumptuary laws.
The faithful education of the rising gen
eration, that they preserve, enjoy and trans
mit these best conditions of human happi
ness and hope.
The Tilden column is full, strong,
united, and flushed with the confideuce
of victory. With Reform written on its
banners, it is marching against the hosts
of Grantism led by Zsick Chandler, with
the amiable Hayes as the nominal captain.
The people mean to drive out of their
public offices the whole heard of Grants,
Dents, Babcocks, Sharps and Caseys, and
to make Washington an unsafe place for
Post trader Belknap. Secor Robberson,
Landaul -1 Williams, Boss Shepherd, and
the other thieves who have for eight years
rioted there. In the battle of Reform
against Corruption, there can be only one
issue in a country which has not lost all
its sense of honor and detestation of
public thievery and jobbery. When
Grant departs from the White House next
March, Tilden will move in and cleanse
the Presidential mansion of its foul asso
ciations. During the next four years the
rascals who have so long plundered the
treasury will rest at home or behind the
bars of a prison.
Senator Gordon’s bill, for reform in the
Revenue Department, was intrqjluced in
the Senate on the 25th inst. The bill pro
vides that all appointments in that depart
ment be made to the lowest grades upon
competive examination, and that the
higher grades shall be filled by promotion.
It lequires a board of examiners made up
from both political parties, and forbids
the refusal to examine any applicant on
account of party affiliation; also, that all
officers in the Revenue Department shall
be removed for ineompetency, malfeas
ance, neglect of duty, paying money for
political purposes, or using official influ
ence therefor, but for no other cause.
COLQUITT NOMINATED
Atlanta, August 3rd, 1876.
Gen. Alfred H. Colquitt was nominated
unanimously by acclamation. B. E. B.
The above telegram only confirms
what has been, for some little time past,
an assured conclusion. Gen. Alfred II.
Colq litt will be the next Governor of
Georgia.
Gen. Colquitt has never been oar
choice for the position to which he has
been called, hut now that his nomina
tion has been accomplished, and the
sovereign will of the people of.Georgia
has dropped the mantle of office upon
his shoulders, we accept the verdict of
that people in good earnest, and will do
all in our power for the nominee of the
party. Nor can we say that we fjel
any misgivings for the future. Our op
position to Gen. Colquitt has been based
solely upon the idea of personal'prefer
ence, and our knowledge of the charac»
ter of the man leads us to believe he
will make Georgia a wise, prudent and
just Executive ; and that in him are
embodied those grand principles of
purity, honor and patriotism which un
derlie and are the only safeguards of
good government.
Now let us all unite to assure com
plete and perfect harmony in the ranks
of the Democracy of our grand old
State, and enkindle anew a feeling of
confidence and enthusiasm which can
not fail to reward us with a glorious
triumph in the end. We are all of the
same people—our cause is a common
one—and we should bury the passions
engendered by a partisan canvass too
deep fur ressurrection. Let the things
of the past be things of the past—and
with locked shields, renewed friendship
and restored unity, march side by side
in solid phalanx to ratify the unani
mous choice of the people at the polls.

HON- I- A- RUSH.
“UNITY IS STRENGTH.”
The motto of the State of Kentucky
United we stand; divided we fall, is the tun
damental pramical principle of every enter
prise. In any machinery, the more perfect
the concord of the parts, the superior will
be the working power. The universe, with
its million of heavenly bodies, by barmo-
nious attraction and gravitation, creates the
•‘music of the spheres.” This world is one
mammoth piece of mechanism, and each of
its parts depends upon the other, from the
belching of the terrific earthquake, to the
happy song of the mocking bird; from the
sublime roar of the ocean, to the joyous rip
pling of the brook—from the busy bee, as
cherriiy hums through its day’s work,
the puff. puli'of the engines, that drive the
spindles of the world—from the boy, as
wends his iruliesotne way to school, to the
sage heads, who set in State npon the
Nation’s afftiis. And success follows united
action as the day does the sun. This prin
It is with pain that we are called upon
to-day to chronicle the death of Hon.
Allen T. Caperton, the distinguished
senator from West Virginia. He was in
every sense of the word a Virginian, and
only war legislation put him outside of
the Old Doiniuion. A gentleman of the
old school, a statesman of experience and
general culture and a man whom to see
was to admire, he will be greately missed
in the body that he had but recently en
tered.
Hon. W. H. Feltou writes from Wash
ington that he will be an independent
candidate for re-election to Congress,
from the Seventh District. We don’i
know that we would object to seeing the
Parson nominated and elected by the
Democrats, but if be runs independently
we shall be obliged to go up and vote
against him. The P. ought to behave
himself.
The first installment of troops sent to
the South for election purposes reached
South Carolina last week. If Grant and
his crowd think they can carry any of the
Southern States with the presence of blue
coats, ict him send them along. It would
take ninety brigades and twenty Major-
Generals to have any effect down this
way.
ENCOURAGING SIGNS-
It strikes the Boston Post, not un
naturally, that there are many signs al
ready in this campaign by which the
Democracy ought to feel encouraged,
and not the least significant are the
rousing demonstrations for Tilden and
Hendricks that are taking place in
cities not surrounded by sentiment
hitherto particularly friendly to the
spread of Democratic principles. In
whatever direction we turn, the Demo
crats are doing their duty. The Phil
adelphia Press, a Republican paper,
sees in the recent ratification in that
ciiy the earnest of a determination on
the part of the Democracy to carry the
Keystone State for Tilden, Hendricks
and Reform. ComiBg back to the cit
ies of Maine a similar spirit manifests
itself. And it is the same throughout
tli: South and West. The fact is, the
more one carefully examines the ele
ments of the somewhat curious and pe
culiar situation, the more cause he has
to confirm the belief that Tilden is
going to be the next President. The
Republican writers who talk to the
contrary evidently do not quite see the
true inwardness of the situation. When
the cooler airs of early autumn begin
to blow, and hint of the coming cold
and purple sunsets, shortening days and
lengthening evenings, and meu feel
themselves toned up to action, there
will be big political meetings, and much
shouting, and giving and taking of
sharp political whacks, and the reality
in regard to the probable result will
begin to be still more significantly un
folded.

ers throughout the District who are e:ig< r to
see it conferred upon Him. T. c people o:
Brooks are proud of hiui. and would be re
joietd to see hqn sent to Congress but. as
their representative and his friend, we can
assure our brother of the Democrat that we
will not go wild or become unreasonable iu
pressing his claims. We well know that
such a course upon the part of any of his
friends would be deprecated by Capt. Tur
ner himself, and there will be no improper
or overzealous demonstrations in his behalf
from this quarter. He is no aspirant, and if
nominated it must be without manipulation
or sectional scramble—Quitman Reqorter.
The foregoing from the Quitman Re
porter are noble words fitly spoken, and
do credit to the. editor as well as to the
gentleman whose claim he advocates,

HON WILLIAM E- SMITH-
The Quitman Reporter wants Capt. H. G.
Turner to go to Congress. We know of none
more competent than the gallant Turner,
but say, Mr. Reporter, don’t you think we
could manage to worry along with Wm. E.
Smith one more term ? Don’t you think
now, candidly, that he is due another term ?
He has performed his whole duty to the very
letter, and there is not a nobler or purer
man living.—Bainbridge Democrat.
We have no fault to find with the Hon.
Wm. E. Smith as a representative, and can
cheerfully agree wi*h our Bainbridge con
temporary that he has “performed his duty
to the very letter;’’ still we know of no spe
cial reason why he is due another term,
whilst there are other deserving young men
and brillif nt minds in the district that the
people would like to encourage and honor.
Mr. Smith has had the honor, and would
it not have a tendency to better preserve the
unity of the District, an 1 look more becom
ing and magnanimous in his friends lor them
to now give way for another, equally de
serving, than for them t;> press him forward
for a second favor?
ITe have no authority for saying that Capt... mpl* is vital an po.itics. From the smallest.
Turner wants the honor but' «e do know literary society to either of the great parties
- - of this ci utility, perfect concord is necessary
for strength and victory.
The National Democratic party has adopt
ed a phiisiorm^^^^niay^^Mvered wi‘l
great party, the party of this united govern
luent, and all who are lovers of reform, sue
e-.-ed in their patriotic undertaking, it is
necessary for every man to cast his vote
with one accord, for this ticket. In Geor
gia, the true politics are Wisdom, Justice
and^loderatiun, and its votaries are white
men, and those who though colored, have
white men’s principles. This is a white
man’s government, thanks be to God, and
it is death, destruction, rapacity and theft
for the other party to have sway. We are
against any-man, whether white or black
who runs or’chiefly depends on that party
which is.jdiaracterized by ignorance, theft
and immoderation. The. good people con
trol this government at present. Shall we
do so the next two or four year.-,? That now
is the engaging question. We can control
it but win we? It depends entirely upon
ourselves. It only requires unity. W
have at present only one candidate in the
field, as the representative of our party
who immediately concerns us The districts
of the counties of Miller, Decatur and
Mitchell selected delegates to the convention,
held in BainVitige on the 19th inst.,for the
purpose of nominating our standard bearer
in the coming contest for the Senator of the
8th Senatoriftl district, That delegation was
fairly chosen by the people, and was com
posed of some of the best men of the several
counties. .They met in convention, while
the people were at home, attending to their
business affairs.- These gentlemen, in their
wisdom and after deliberation, selected the
Hon I. A. Bush, of Miller. Now we con
tend that it is tjie duty of us, the people, to
ourselves, to the delegates and to the coun
try, to lay aside our preferences—to cast off
dead issues—to burry little prejudices—to
forget that the nominee is a lawyer, that he
is from Miller, and that Mitchell was not
successful—to forget everything and any
thing hut the one fact: that he is a democrat
and the regular and fair. nominee of the
democratic party, the real and true party
of the State.
Hon. I. A Bush is a young man about 30
years of age, a lawyer of abili’y aud a sue

ties and proved faithfulness to the par
ty of which he is a member, and in our
advocacy of Hon. Wm. E. Smith we
would not detract one iota from the
fame, worth, or *'v«n (he claims, of the
former. We ait controlled,we trust,
by no considerations inconsistent with
the best interests of the party ; and
while it may be true, were we to con
sult our personal preferences alone in
the matter, that Capt. Smith wot Id be
our first choice, to our mind and with
the present lights before us there are
reasons of a more important nature
which should guide us.
First of all, certain peculiar reasons
exist just now which, in our humble
judgment, serve to make Capt. Smith
the very strongest man the Democracy
could possibly place belore the people.
Our observations in this county--conee-
ded to be the battle ground of the Dis
trict-together with a pretty acccurate
knowledge of the character aud resour
ces of the man who will more than pro
bably be the candidate on the Republi
can side, induce us to attach more than
ordinary importance ta those reasons
We are assured at least of one fact, and
that is, R. II. Whiteley, if a can
didate, would prefer most any other
man for an opponent rather than Wra.
E Smith. The reasons for this are many,
but chief among which are Smith’s
record as an Old Line Whig, and his
intimate acquaintance with the people
here, which prevent Whiteley’s home
influence and work carrying Decatur
county by a large majority, which ma
jority, in a close District like this; gen
erally decides the day.
Another strong reason why Mr.
Smith shou'd be returned to Congress
is the fact that the experience already
gained will render him even more use
ful next session than he has been this,
and which experience gives him a de
cided advantage over any man new in
the position
Rotation in office may be a good
thing, under certain circumstances, but
we think that in times like these—in this
particular crisis of our country—a stern
necessity demands not only ability but
experience in our National Councils.

It is now thought by intelligent poli
ticians that Tilden will carry New York
by 100,000 majority. The New York Sun
says if Mr. Tilden's letter of acceptance
is what every one has reason to believe it

A Northern paper says Gen. Grant
orders the negroes in the South to vote
for Hayes and Wheeler, and orders the

The Democrats were a week or two

they talk of indefinitely extending the
session. If the Democrats become sat

have no adjournment, and in that event
Robeson’s impeachment is inevitable.
The leading Democrats who have stud-

In a letter to the Macon Telegraph,
Col. Hardeman withdraws from th
canvass Lis letter is simple, manly and
patriotic, frankly giving his reasons for
the step, and containing nothing of bit
terness or recrimination. The letter is
worthy of the man who has ever placed
the welfare of his party and his State
above all personal wishes or ambitions.
Regarding the Democratic party of
Georgia as our only safeguard against
the iniquities of radicalism, he sacrifices
with a noble un-eULhiess all p rsonal
desires that the safety of the State and
the success of the party may beassuted.
A gallant soldier, he poured out his
olood benea.th the Southern cross dis
franchised by the Federal government,
he chose to retain his disabilities rather
than obstruct the relief to others nam
ed id. the same bill; a fervent and elo
quent Bpeaker, he has fought our com
mon enemy from .865 te 1874 from
the inouTSaitrs to the sea-board. With
such a record, Col- Hardeman had a
right to expect its highest honors from
the State hie had served so well. But
the canvass resulting differently he
gracefully acquiesces, and once more
takes his place—not iu the ranks, but
as a brilliant leader of Georgia’s De
mocracy again to conduct them to vic
torious triumph. Let the latter day po
liticians take this man as their model,
and learn the lesson of his patriotism.

How Grant is to be Compensated.—
Since Grant’s recent manifestation of sore-
headedness at the slight which he conceives
lie received at Cincinnati, extraordinary
efforts are being made by the Radicals to
conciliate hiui and to induce him to
give the influence of his patronage and
power to the Cincinnati ticket. The
New York Sun gives the following out
line of a plan for compensating Grant
for the use of the maoiiine :
"It is proposed if Hayes should be
elected, and the House of Kepresenta
lives be carried by the Republicans, to
divide the Union into two military dis
diets, with the rank and pay of Gener
ti imw held by Sherman, giving one ti
Grant and the other to Sherman on an
equal footing. This plan, though less
in some respects than what Grant would
wish to dictate, if he could have his
own way. is still satisfactory, and is
tempting in view of his certain retire
ment on the 4th of March from all con
nection with public affairs. It offers
him a dim hope of high command, and
incites his ambition to secure the prize
Hence the bargain will he consumma

HE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN OF 1 67,
which includes National, State and coun
ty elections, and which will undoubtedly be
the most active and hotly contested of any
since the memorable canvass of I860, is now
fairly opened. The National Democratic
Party will this year make a bold, vigorous,
and doubtless successful struggle for the
.maintainance and supremacy of those prin
ciples which are vital to the prosperity of
the Republic and essential to the well-being
of the people.
In addition to the Presidential election,
the people of Georgia and Florida will elect
new State governments. In Florida the
ampaigns promises to be unusually vigor
ous, and there is a probability that for tlie
first time since the war the people of that
Radical-ridden State will elect a Democratic
State government. In these campaigns the
people of the South are deeply interested ;
and every intelligent citizen, who has the
welfare of his countiy and his section at
heart, should acquaint himself with every
detail of the great work of redemption and
reform that is now going on.
To this end he should subseribj to and as
sist in circulating the SAVANNAH MORN
ING NEWS, an independent Democratic
newspaper, of pronounced opinions and fe.ar-
lesr in their expression; a paper that is
recognized everywhere as the best daily in
the Siuth. Its editorial department is vig
orous. thoughtful, and consistent, while its
news and local departments are marvels of
industry and completeness. Its department
of Georgia and Florida affairs is not confin
ed to a mere barren summary of events
transpiring in those States, but is enlivened
by comment at once apt, timely, and racy.
Tire ample resources of tlie establishment
will be devoted to furnishing the readers of
the
MORNING NEWS.
with the latest intelligence from all parts of
the world, through the press dispatches,
special telegrams, and by means of special
correspondence ; and through these agencies
the paper will be the earliest chronicle of
every noteworthy incident of the political
campaign of 1876.
