The Weekly Democrat. Bex E. Russell, • - R. M. Johnston EDITORS. Bainbndsre. Georgia. August 3. 1876 The National Democratic Ticket. FOR PRESIDENT ; SAMUEL J. TIL DEN, 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. From the Camilla Enterprise.] 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. that he has a great many friends auit admir 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. II. G. Turner has no stronger ad> mirer than the writer of these lines— both as regards his transcendent abili- CONGRESS- There is some ta'k now of indefinite ly postponing the adjournment of Con gress, and both parties appear undeci- State, resolutions were passed in 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 cqssful tanner, a liberal, honest, clever, thorougl going, wide-aivake, sober aud an indnstridqggeutlemylji Ho is devoted to the *” ''-.0 best inter ests’ 3??— —zn ’St. Be represented I . ft, £ AC{ L S 4 * ,u ' e SiaT reason will be ready and cotnpe- 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. incendiakYresolutions. At a recent negro meeting in Charles ton, S. C., and which was largely atten ded by the representative Radicals of 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 will be, he will carry thirty States. A Northern paper says Gen. Grant orders the negroes in the South to vote for Hayes and Wheeler, and orders the soldiers too see that they do so. This is the essence of the Southern campaign. Henry M Stanley, the African explorer b -' lbe /vw York SenUd, has at Sve TheHfrald P romisus ded as to what course they shall take in regard to adjournment. A correspon dent of the New York Worldsaysa few days ago the Republicans were seeking to hold the Democrats responsible for the continuance of the present unusual ly long session, but now they are seek ing to prolong it by dilatory movements The Democrats were a week or two ago quite anxious to get away, but now they talk of indefinitely extending the session. If the Democrats become sat isfied that Grant really means to carry into execution his threats of using the troops to carry the Carolinas and Lou isiana, they will doubtless determine to have no adjournment, and in that event Robeson’s impeachment is inevitable. The leading Democrats who have stud- ird the case against Robeson are satis fied that it is a good one, and that he can escape conviction only througn the partisan bias of the Senate. There has been some little opposition to Mr. Bush in Decatur county, but we are glad to learn it is melting away, and there is no cause for alarm. regard to the Hamburg affair, of which the following is a fair sample. Remember that there are 80,000 black men in this State who can bear Winchester rifles and know how to use them, and that there are 200,000 wo men who can light a torch and use the knife, and that there are 100,000 boys and girls who have not known the lash of a white master; who have tasted freedom once and forever, and there is deep determination never, so help their God, to submit to be shot down by law less regulators for no crimes committed against society and law. There is a forbearance which ceases to be a virtue, qowards driven to desperation often de stroy those who corner them. The ne gro in this country will not always be docile—he will not always be restrain ed by <ear—the rising generation are as brave and daring as a e white men ; already that spirit is taking deep root in the minds of thousands who have nothing to lose in the contest, and who rejoice in an opportunity to sacrifice their lives for their liberty. “V ably four yafra perfectly at home; lent for business, should lie be e’ecte-J, soon as lie inters (he Senate chamber.

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. The yountr Democracy of Georgia who follow him to victory and success will yet bring him his well earned reward.— Fort Valley Mirror. The white Republican in the Demo cratic South carries out his convictions at his peril. He is persecuted and proscrib ed.—N T. Times We have ever regarded the Times as a high-toned and truthful newspaper, but the above quoted idiotic lie would do credit to Grant’s kitchen organ at Wash ington, or even to the great liar of the Northwest, the Chicago Inter Ocean. Although the President gave the most direct and positive assurance that Avery would be immediately’ pardoned, and that too, without in any way consulting the AUdrnev-General, the publication of the fact has brought in so many remon strancies he has < oncluded to postpone the formal order until the adjournment of Congress. Grant has a bad opinion the House of Representatives. .Above all things he dis ikes its inquiring turn mind. of We have 6,000,000 farmers, 1,200,000 trades people, 2,700,000 mechanics, 2,600, 000 professional men, 43,000 clergymen 40,000 lawyers, 128,823 teachers, 62,000 doctors, 2,000 actors, 6,200 journalists 1,000,000 laborers, and 975,000 domestic servants.

I have talked with the Senators and know what I say.” Here is the announcement of a hold conspiracy to defeat the will of the people. This is an open threat of revolution. We demand that Haralson, who has been seated in preference to a Democratic candidate, shall give an account of these words, and name the Senators who have pledged themselves to this infamy. They are unfit to he intrusted with the counting of the ballots, and should be impeached Who are they ?— World. 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 ted, and the country may look forward to the most violent political campaign that hase- er been witnessed ” Tobacco!

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.
