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, Fhe Weekly Democrat. Baiubndife. Georgia Oct. 19th 78 Campaign Appointments.

Xnp of XicJugun at Ceveland. Fellow Citizens : WhatisGrant- ism—ihis new word in our politics? It 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 his been disgraced and dishonored. j hypocrites, such as Morton and his ! school, that punlicly undertake to censure 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 ! ty and manliness must he obliged to do. 1 Ordinarily, upon simple qu -stions of I public policy, (he Sout.i would be certaib 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; •‘Bui I wdi even go fart In r. an 1 mei ta n that in giving tin: prominence the., have done to the old rebel element tic.

The political resui; of the Georgia el.nv tion was a foregone conclusion. Bora parties canie out about its (hey expected. As r girds the Presidential eonc.-.i, this ■lilies in a except tint n ,1 th Iv ill iov turb white pears ... the be Chamberlain, instead of remaining at ins military - post as Governor at Columbia, a isndou ed ttie State and bur ied to Washington lo n.-k illi* aid of United S ates troops vf help elect him again to tile same office. 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.

It affords happy promises that that plunder ed and outraged State may th s year re deem herself from the thieves who have in my oilier pm-isne-*. 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 iv,. j -i j un der and the restoration of honest gov ernment- Let ns hope that oil the 7th of November the people of* the North will prove themselves equally united in the sa.no good came.— A r Y.

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.
