THE POLITICAL CHESS BOAAD
Get the White House ready.
Unolo Sammy is ’er cornin'.
Vote a clean ticket, Dem Grata.
Go to wurk for Smith—don’t atop
Hare you hoard the news ? Georgia
Las gone Democratic. Fact.
If every Democrat will do his duty
We can beat Whiteley in Decatur.
Indiana, West Virginia, Colorado
aid Nebraska ! Radicalis'd in tears !
Goto work—bury Whiteley and his
Civil Rights, and bury them deep.
Lat it be remembered that Whiteley
is a zealous adt. irer of Blaine. Let two
nothes be cut here
Remember the election for President
and Congressmen takes place on Tues
day, the 7th of November.
The Georgia Senate has 43 Demo
crats and 1 Radical, The lloUsc has
nil Democrats except 6.
‘■Let there be no vituperation in this
canvass,” said Hayes, and then all his
party orgaus began lying about Tilden.
The colored peop'e all over the South
ore losing faith in Republican friends,
and are Voting with the Democrats.
The vote in Georgia was a light one.
Ond yet Colquitt’s majority is about
75.000. My 1 what would it have been
if the Democrats had turned out.
Gov. Smith, says the Atlanta papers.
Will speak in the Second District before
the election. W- hope he may come
to Decatur.
Now. Democrats of Decatur what
Bay you, sit II we Cany the county for
Smith against Whiteley ? Go to work
end wc cut do it.
The Democratic majority in the Sec
ond District; on the 4th of this month.
Wis nearly five thousand votes. Lets
make it the lull Sve iu November.
Senator Revels, a colored l r . S Sen j
ntor from Mississippi, is out for Tilden I
wad reform. The old Radical ship is 1
1 i
rotten, and everybody is leaving it
The Thomas county Democrats say !
they arc bound to give Tote Smith a j
lively majority. They don’t like the \
Civil Rights candidate over that way. j
Three cheers for Calhoun county ! j
She iiaa gone Democratic, for the first
time since the war. Another one of
Whiteley’s strongholds stormed.
Tho eyes of Geoigiaare upon the 2nd
District. Georgia must send an unbro-
#
ken delegation to Congress, and upon
the Second District depends whether
she will or not.
What is Whiteley’s record ? An
swer : Civil Rights Bill, Ku Klux
Bill, Election Bill, nearly every harsh
measure that has been proposed against
the South. Mr. white voter will cut i
notch right hefe.
Detroit Free Press : ‘‘When you
hear a man stand up and argue that
the South is waiting to have the Union
pay the Confederate war debt, set that
man down as a deliberate liar or a he
reditary fool."
A few days ago the New York Her
ald said that if the Demociats carried
Indiana, the preparations for Tilden
may as well commence at once about
the White House. Well, they have
■carried it.
Ben Hill. Gon, Gordon, Gov. Smith,
Col. Kennon, Captain Smith, the Al
bany brass band, all the good Demo
crats and pretty women are to be at a
grand barbecue in Berripn county on
November 1st. Little old Berrien will
hurt Whitoley’s feelings with 800 ma
jority for Smith.
Let it be remembered that 8194,000-
000 have been stolen from the South
by miserable carpet-bag thieves. These
Carpet-baggers are sustained by this
Radical party which Whiteley asks you
to support—indeed, one of them is
Chairman of the Republican State
Committee. A vote for Whiteley is a
vote to Bustaia these carpet baggers,

Fellow Citizens : WhatisGrant-

is a word of baleful mport—a word of
national humiliation It is a word that
means that under this Administration
every department of our G vermnent

FALSE FRIENDS OF THE NE
GROES
We invite all candid men and til those
who have at heart the weiilare of the
negro citizens of the South, to contem
plate the political canvass now proceed
ing in South Carolina-
The . ival candidates for Governor in
that proud old State are Gen. Wade
Hampton and Gov. Chamberlain, The one
is a man of spotless reputation. Il is true
he was foremost among those who rebell
ed against the righto ul authority of the
United States, and fought Uuintei ruptedly
during the civil war; but he ni dntaiued
throughout that bitter time, as he had
before and as iie has since, a high and
deserved character for gallantry and
truth. The other is a man who has con
sorted with the thieves vvJjo have plunder
ed South Carolina, and has shared in their
spoils. Though of Lite he has put on the
pretence of integrity, yet lie is uncut and
out political fraud. Hampton is a man
against whose honor not even his worst
enemies venture to allege anything. When
:i fe-.v weeks ago, tiic Stale was in turmoil
because of d.sturhauce growing out •*; an-
tagonuins between tile blacks and w hites.
nity Having at nil the principles ofTiohes

1 Ordinarily, upon simple qu -stions of

j lo divide; oui upon the questions of sup
porting Hie Govenuient that afflicts and
i humiliates the So .th, of hiving its despoi-
I ers ami haters, there should be no divis-
! i«n. To divide on that is to show to the
J world that the South is undeserving of a
better late.
The Southern accusers are prone to
inveigh agaiu-t the South for electing
Confederate, to representative offices. On
this point Professor Shaler, of Cambridge
(Massachusetts) University, gives the fol
iowing complete deli-nee in a letter ad
dressed by bin) to tlie Boston D.idv- Ad
vertiser;

The political resui; of the Georgia el.nv
tion was a foregone conclusion. Bora
parties canie out about its (hey expected.

Only lately has lie returned to S •nth Ca
rolina, having obtained the soldiers for
whom he :i«hed.
But ilie most significant thing in the
-South Carolina canvass is the altitude Oi
Gen. Hampton toward the negro i-i'izcns.
A proud mao, bred amid all the race pre
judices of the State in which slavery
before the war had its securest footing,
accustomed to look upon Hie negroes as
his natili'id inferiors, people lo whom to
grant favors and from whom none could
be asked, himself a large slaveholder and
the very type of the aristocratic South
Carolinian, Gen. Hampton is now traver
sing Hie State, arguing with tlie enfran
chised blacks, seeking to still their tears
of tbe results of a Democratic success in
the coming election, and soliciting their
votes to tho end that peace and prosperity
may again dawn on South Carolina. It
is a spectacle well worth the contempla
tion of all men who doubt the candor of
the South in accepting the results of the
war, the citizenship of the blacks, and
their entire equality before the law. Gen.
Hampton is known to the negroes
throughout the Slate as no other oi tin-
native South Carolinian. lie is familia>-
to ever ; colored citizi n, and is respected
by them all. We doubt not that in cast
ing away the preju liei-s agiinst the
negroes by his rearing under the condi
ti 'iis which slavery imposed, and in pa
tienlly instructing, as he is doing, the
black voters as to what are their true in
terests, he is gathering to his suj:
large following oi these previously misled numerous. inN. Mary s >fiere •- a oca

record—the plain but damning record
which all men know. I said disgraced
in every d p.irtuient. Was i’KOi right ?
What one has escaped? The State
Department, the great foreign depart
uient of the Government, has bei-n dis
graced under this Administration by
the displacement of Charles Sumner
and the elevation of Simon Cameron ;
by the appointment and retention of
public swindlers as the representatives
of our country at foreign courts ; by
wasteful and criminal extra.agance, in
robbing the treasury tor the benefi. of
the camp followers of the party.

THE SOLID SOUTH
The most silly, preposterous, aud
wicked cry raised during this campaign
ia that of the Republicans about the
solid South. Thus Jay Gould’s young
editor lifts up his voice and wails : “A
solid South, what does it meitn ? Why
does it alarm all thoughtful men ?”
And Mr. Gvorge William Curtis writes
that a united South requires that the
North should likewise be united to put
the South down.
What is the solid South ? For what
is it united ? lias it any kad or doubt
ful object ? Not at all. It is solid on
ly against public robbery such as never
was commuted upon any other people
in the world. It is only united against
a system of State Governments more
greedy and profligate, and 'dunderitig
the people upon a grander scale than
any other governments, savage or civil
ized. chat ever existed oti earth ; and it
solid aud united against the present na
tional Administration, because it is
likewise greedy, profligate, and larce
nous. This is the whole of it. The
only purpo. e for which the South is
united is to escape from these govern
ments, and from the total and almost
indescribable ruin they cause. Aside
from this there is not one single object
for which the South cm be called uni
ted and solid The only aim which the
Southern States have in view in their
support of .'dr. Tilden is to redeem
themselves from this horrible system,
from the utter devastation which its con
tinuance will certainly produce, and
from the moral, social, and political ca
lamities which would follow the elec
tion of Hayes, and tho perpetuation of
this immense organization of public ex
tortion aud robbery.
There is no more reason for any
alarm when the South is united in such
a cau.->e than there was whon the people
of New York, men of all classes, Demo
crats, Republicans, and Independents,
were united for the overthrow of Tweed
and Gonnally, The crimes of that
band of public plunderers were as
nothing compared to the crimes com
mitted by the Republican State Gov
ernments of the South and by the Re
publican Administration at Washing
ton ; and the drivel of Mr. Curtis and
of the Tribune is even more Contempti
ble than would have been here in New
York in 1871 a wailing outcry of alarm
at the unity of the people for the sup
presaion of Tweed aud his confeder
ates
Thank God that the South is thus

Reform is necessary in the sum and
modes of Federal Taxat’on. to the end
that capital may be set free from distrust,
and labor lightly burdened.
We denounce the present Tariff, levied
upon nearly 4,000 articles, as a master
piece of injustice, inequality, and false
pretense.
It yields a dwindling, not a yearly ris
ing, revenue.
It has impoverished many industries to
subsidize a few.
T t prohibits imports that might purchase
the products of American labor.
It lias degraded American commerce
from the first to an inferior rank on the
high seas.
It costs the pcoplp five times more than
it produces to the Treasury, obstructs the
processes of production and wastes the
fruits of labor.
It promotes fraud, fosters smuggling,
enriches dishonest officials, and bankrupts
honest merchants.
We demand that all Custom House tax
