August 26 1871 To TfTE DevOCRITIC P-VRTYOK (tEOROIi : In compliance with a resolution of tho State Executive Committee I purpose ad dressing you briefly upon the perils of th« tim ’s ail the duties of the hour. We are engaged in a great contest. on« in which every person who 1 .vow Constitu tional Government, who desires a return to the oil landmarks of the fathers, who is weary of enforcement acta of bayonet rule of tlm subordination of the civil to the military power of the Government, of the suspension of the writ of habeas cor pus of the concentration of powar iu the 1 edeial Exoouiive. who prefers local seif* gMvrnmeiit to the arbitrary rule of party jui 1 power, who would quiet sectional wrangling an 1 animosides, who prefers peace to strife union to discord country to party must evidence his faith by hie works. It is a contest between the friends of true gover iment and the open enemies of I Constirutional law and libfcriy. It is a c >ntest which, as it widens and spreads, will shake party organizations to their foundation, because it is a contest of the I people independent of party association* ■ ur requirements. It is a contest for which the Hue men of the Non h and the South, die hast and the West are preparing, by forgetting the bitter memories of the past, the effete ksues of old organizations and in the spirit of a nob.e broiliei hood and • patriot c liberality, are combining to savt tbe Government from overthrow and the people from the tyrannies of a centralized despotism, it is a contest which promises peace to the nation, pensmalliberty to tbs people, equal rights to the States, good government to all. fn this contest, wc inuit act our part we cannot be camp fol lowers. when liberty is at stake and tha country is in [ enl. Every hope of suc cess depends Upon the efforts of those en gaged in the struggle; in Georgia, the turning point of tha conflict depends upon our ability to bring till our fo-ces into the field, To effect a result so desirable there hufst be a thor ough and complete organization in every county in the Slate. Our electors should visit the people aSd urge them to action and to duty, and they will nobly respond, for Georgians have never proved recreant to a trust, or false to a duty. Upon our sub electors most valuable aids and ad juncts. much, very much depends To 'hem the Executive Committee is hope fully looking for invaluable assistance in courty organizations. Let each one fetl the iinlivi lual responsibility of the trust reposed in him, ami we shall have a cam paign in Georgia faithful in its labors and glorious in its victories. Our State Government must be main tained, for it is the sheet anchor of our hopes. In preserving this we will be the better able to secure a triumph in Novem. her following for our el ctoral ticket in Georgia. There is apathy in our party— it must be removed and the people aroused and awakened to the sen-e of their danger. There is division in our riiiiks ; let us heal it by kind remonstrances and courteous appeals to the patriotism and magnanimi ty of hesitating Democrats.” The party has spoken through its reo tignized organ?, (State and National Con ventions) and expects every man to do his duty and accept its action as a proof of its fidelity to the best interest of the country; Personal* prejudices should now yield »* the overwhelming will of the majority ; private regrets an 1 individual prefe rences should be dropped and the old party, proud of its record in the past, of its do votion to Constitutional Government, of its sacre 1 maintenance of the Hghtsof ths States, of its hoiy regard for the personal liberties of the p -ople should. a« a uu t t, lock .-hiel U with he patriotic men of any party who will unite with ii in the main tenancy of prin doles so essei t'al to good government, without parleying as to whom their banner is entrusted or who w ill lead their forces to victory. It is new time for concert of action among all true men. W* are now at sea; the elements are stirieu , we hear the wail of the tempest, the roar of the thunder, the niching of the watei»; this is no time f<*r division among the sea men or mutiny in the crew, because Our captain is taken from another craft; each man to his duty and his post at th« pump the engine or the sail, and follow him a? he follows his chart and cotupaM. and we will weather the itorm and aa* chor at last in the port of safety. 1 'emocrats. Liberal Republicans, zealot* co laborers in this work of reconciliation and reform Ft us go more actively to our labors—let the slogan of our combined fo.cvs he heard in every valley ami ujx>* evury hiil-tqp —l*it our battle cry, “irater* rn, y reform and constitutional govern. tc.znt rvase not. until iu November nr it ic will be lost in the shouts pf a victr yr j host proclaiming to the down trodden Houth universal unnesty good, will local self-government, and lo the whole nation peace, restoration, vwiron.
