MODEL SENTIMENT (?)
The Quitman Banner saya : “Two
thirds of the merchants of Bainbridge
must be Radicals, and want to do all they
can to support Whiteley'a blasphemous
and social equality organ. We judge by
the appearance of its advertising columns.
We are ashamed for every one who is so
lost to the proud feelings of a white South
ron, especially when there is a Democratic
paper published in the same place, in
which they could advertise their business,
and which thsy should, from a sense of
prijle and love for their country, if not from
taste, feel duty bound to support.”
The merchants of Bainbridge are a high
toned class of educated gentlemen. They
have long since recognized what it w’ould
be well for the writer of the above to un
derstand, and that is that freedom of re
ligious and political opinion is the inherent
right of every American citizen, and that
to refuse to associate or trade with any
one because of a difference as to either, is
but a practical denial of that right. The
merchants to whom the writer of the above
refers are sensible Democrats, and are
ashamed of a political leadership that is
controlled by such sentiments as tjiose we
copy.
Is brother Bennett absent or sick, that
such stuff should be found in the columns
of the Banner ?
STATE CREDIT.
We have received from the State Treas
urer, Hon John Jones, a circular addressed
to the tax payers of the State, We de
cline to criticise the circular politically,
though it invites it. The credit of the
State is above all parties with us. We do
not belong to the class—if it exists—that
would depreciate the State credit for pe
cuniary purposes, nor refuse her our aid
for political purposes. We have already
loaned her every dollar of what is termed
our “back pay grab,” and, iu addition, all
we could otherwise spare, and we intend to
continue to loan her every dollar we can
spare from both our salary as a member of
Congres and the earnings of our farm and
profession. Georgia is our State, and we
are her son, and it matters not what party
controls her destinies, that relation will
continue, and shall be recognized.
We regret to see that the State Treasu
rer announces that we are the only person
from Decatur county who has come for
ward to the aid of the State. Democratic
friends will you allow a Radical to have all
this glory ? Come forward and share it.
THE HEALTH OF BAINBRIDGE
Since our last issue our people have
been again aroused by the work of the de
stroying angel. A number of deaths, both
sudden and of a peculiar type, establish
the fact that we are visited by a most ma
lignaut disease. As is usual under such
circumstances, there is a good deal of pub
lic alarm, and apprehension, as well as a
variety of conjectures, as to the character
of the malady by which we are afflicted.
The physicians disagree, but concur in
the opinion that there is no just caus£ for
alarm. The fact that principally—in our
opinion—justifies this conclusion is, that so
far the disease does not seem to take hold
of those who come in contact with it. Its
victims are from different parts of the city,
and no two so far In one family. It may
be termed—the physicians say—miasmatic
malarial fever. Temperate habits, warm
clothing, generous food, and avoidance
from exposure from the night air or the
early dew, is advisable. Avoid panic, at
tend to the wants of the sick' trust to
providence and await results.
HON. JOHN ERSKINE.
We publish entire in this issue"of the
Son, the decision of Judge Erskine on the
right of a Bankrupt to the Homestead, as
against old debts. This is not the first
time that the people of Georgia have had
just reason to rejoice that Judge Erskine
is on the Bench of the United States
Courts.
A candid and impartial review of his
course since his elevation to the Bench,
will establish beyond doubt that his ad
ministration of the National laws, has been
able, upright and effective, and that on the
bench he has been as cautious as nwrciful.
In the face of the denunciations of a parti
san press, he has quietly pursued the even
tenor of his way, leaving to time, and the
second sober thought of the people, the
labor of his vindication. That his judg
ment and sympathy are with the people of
Georgia, all will see and appreciate.
TAXES.
e call attention to the circular of the
Chairman of the Executive Committee for
the Second Congressional District. We
hope that our friends will b ? alive and ac
tive m the discharge of their duty to the
L te and to themselves in this matter;
the taxes ought to be paid, and at once.
Columbus, 0., (October 20.’-Both parties
The Central City,
In onr last issue we noticed a portion of
the criticism of the above journal, on the
position of the Sun, and now continue our
reply.
The Central City says :
“And until the election of Lincoln by a
Northern party and a strictly sectional
vote, the motto of the Democracy was
‘The Union and the Constitution.’ The
inauguration of Lincoln, —wLg account
of the disfavor of the principles and ob
jects of his party with the people, had to
steal into W ashington in disguise—was, as
the history of the country since its occur
rence proves, the inauguration of section
alism, discord, secession, bloodshed, war,
desolation and death.”
Here is a very important admission at
the outset, and one that most Democratic
papers will not assent to, that the Demo
cratic party abandoned the Union and the
Constitution upon the election of Lincoln.
It is true, however, and it was this truth
that drove Union Democrats and Union
Whigs together, in 1861, in opposition to
the war policy and secession principles of
the Democratic party-
But an equally important truth appears
in what follows, in regard to Mr. Lincoln—
,‘that he had to steal into Washington in
disguise .” This necessity shows the true
character of the party the. Central City in
part represents. That Lincoln was fairly
elected, though by a sectional vote, is not
questioned or denied, and that by virtue
of his election he was entited to the
office, cannot be gainsayed, yet such was
the spirit of Democracy that it would not
respect the will of the people, but in its
intolerance and hate , sought the life of the
President elect, and that same spirit it
was which inaugurated the “sectionalism)
discord, secession, bloodshed, war, desola
tiou and death,” of which the Central City
speaks. It is that same spirit which has
since the war, not only inaugurated but
practically carried out, the intolerance,
proscription and hate, which have dis
graced our State and section. Nor is it
correct to say it was the “disfavor of the
principles and objects of his party” which
produced the necessity to which we have
referred, it was the work of a few un
scrupulous leaders in the Democratic par
ty, who were willing to risk even the ex
istence of the Government, that they
might retain the power that was about to
pass from their hauds forever.
The Central City further says :
“Major Whiteley says the Democratic
party is opposed to the ‘nigger,’ and he
says this without a single fact to sustain
the assertion. It is true, the party is op
posed to negro-suffrage While the negro is
wholly incapable of discharging the duty
and sustaining the responsibility imposed
by such a relation to the Government.—
Not from any desire to oppose the negro
on account of either race or previous con
dition, but because the perpetuity of our
free institutions —the civilization, happi
ness and prosperity of our people, of all
classes, depend upon good government—
, intelligent, capable and incorruptible leg
islative, executive and judicial officers.”
Here is hair-splitting for you, is it not ?
What matter is it upon what ground you
place your opposition, so long as you are
■opposed to what is the colored man's
rights, and what he considers his interests?
Do you suppose that you can deny to the
whole labor of the count"}’, and that labor
a distinctive race, the rights that belong
to freemen, and then evade the responsi
bility of your acts by saying that you are
not opposed to their “race or previous con
dition ?” You meet your neighbor on the
sidewalk, give him a good caning, he gets
up, shakes the dust off his clothing, and
says to you, “I did not know that you had
anything against me.” To which you re
spond, “No I have not, I am only opposed
to your walking on the sidewalk.” Don’t
you think he would be thankful to you for
your nice distinction ? Would it cure the
caning ? Why not meet this issue with
your usual candor, and say we oppose the
negro politicaily because we cannot use
him ?
But yOU say :
•‘Will Maj. Whiteley, or any other self
constituted guardian of the negro race,
hazard the assertion that the government
of the Southern States has been improved
by the incorporation of negro-suffrage upon
the body politic ? • If it has, patriotism de
mands that we should favor it ; if it has
not, patriotism equally requires that we
should oppose it so far as we have a con
stitutional right to do so.”
It ia a great pity that patriotism is so
flexible a term with Democrats. The pat
riotism you here indirectly boast of, would
lead you to deny the ballot to every white
man in the State who cannot read and
write, arid who does not own a Certain
amount of property. The teal trouble is (
that too many of the leaders of your party
are afflicted with an idea that a few edu
cated and purely aristocratic individuals
ought to rule the State and Nation, and
so long as that idea is not realized, we will
continually hear of that intelligence you
rely on. and of the good government that
Democratic policy would give us. Do you
talk of intelligence when taxes are to be
paid ; when road duty is to be performed ;
when militia service is required ; when the
coontry is to be defended ? Then away
with your Bourbonism, and make room for
the party of Union, justice aad progress.
. An Outrage,
The following card appears in the editorial
columns of a paper published in Lexington,
Missouri, entitled the Caucasian:
St. lons, Mo., Oct. 1, 1873.
Editor Lexington Caucasian i
Please publish the following Card
1 propose to bet 15,000 that President U. S.
Grant, unless he dies from natural or other
causes, will be assassinated before the 10th of
April. 1874. .
If accepted, the money to be deposited on
or before the 10th day o! November next.
Parties desiring to*wager larger or smaller
amounts can address me at St. Louis', Missouri,
or through your columns.
Respectfully, H. Clay Harps®.
There may be no such individual in exist
ence as H. Clay Harper—for the sake of on t
common humanity, it is to be hoped there is
not. Surely no man not utterly destitute of
every moral and manly sentiment, and reck
less of the oomion of the civilized world would
of crimes. But whether the card of H. Clay
Harper i8 genuine or not, its appearance in a
public newspaper, with'editorial endorsement,
is an outrage as indeeeht as it is disgraceful
to American journalism, and should be severe
ly rebuked by the respectable press of all par
ties. The card is introduced by the editor of
the Caucasian , with approving comments,
closing with the remark : “We have only to
add that it will afford the Caucasian profound
pleasure to announce on the morning of April
11, that Mr. Harper has won his bet.”
The editor of the Caucasian cannot possibly
be more uncomptoinisingly opposod to Gen.
Grant and his revolutionary faction, with
their record of imbecility, corruption, usur
pation and outrages, than ottrselvas. Brit with
all their tyrannies, usurpations, outrages, and
malignant persecutions, they have not yet re
duced us to the level of savages ; and though
constitution and laws, right and justice* have
been trampled under foot, our civilization yet
remains—the moral law is not yet abrogated.
Until it is, assassination is not yet in tune,
and the Southern people will hold it, and even
its seeming instigators, aiders and abettors,
in just execration.
In his endorsement of Harper’s indecent
wager, the editor of the Caucasian, with a
flippancy bordering on blasphemy, quotes the
language of Caiphus : “It is expedient for us
that one man should die for the people, and
that the whole nation perish not,” and ex
'claims : “Let the sentiment spring to life
anew in every patriot’s heart.” Such intem
perate ravings and wicked invocations, while
they are abhorrent to the conservatism and
moral sentiment of the Southern people, are
calculated to impose on the too willing credul
ity of our pharasaical enemies, intensifying
their malignity and giving plausible pretext
to our oppressors for continued outrage Mid
persecution. The article to which we have
alluded, when circulated at the North, will do
infinitely more harm than a thousand sensa
tional reports of imaginary Ku-Klux outrages.
—Savannah News.
The News properly condemns the card
of Harper. No American citizen, having
regard for the teachings of civilization,
could do otherwise. But how is it that
such stuff is always found in a Democratic
paper, and finds endorsement alone in that
party ? There must be a cause, and if so,
as the result is condemed, so ought the
cause to be oondemed and avoided. We
submit that the cause is, false and improp
er teachings on the part of Democratic
journals and speakers. Even the article
of the News contains the eery food upon
which this Harper has fattened, and be
come insane. If you educate the people to
believe that the Government under which
they live is but a series of ‘tyrranies, usurpa
tions, outrages and malignant persecutions,”
you prepare them for the work of the as
sassin ; and when you go further and say
that the “Constitution and laws, right and
justice have been trampled under foot,”
you but suggest to those you allege are op
pressed the duty of turning upon the op
pressor ; but when you go still further, and
declare “our civilization yet remains—the
moral law is not yet abrogated,” you, in
substance, assert that this is all we have of
government or law, and the credulous rea
der is thus prepared to ignore the exist
ence of government or laws, save as pre
sented iu the role of oppression you sug
gest, and thus the victim of your teachings
maddened by the convictions created,
rushes out crying in his heart, give me the
blood of the tyrant ! Booth, thus mad
dened, assassinated President Lincoln, no
doubt believing, under the false teachings
he had received, that he was slaying a ty
rant. May not similar teachings develop
another Booth, to bring disgrace upon his
name, and sorrow to the national heart.
Rooms Republican Executive
Committee,
2nd Congressional District of Ga. )
Albany, Oct. 12th, 1873. j
The undersigned would call the atten
tion of the Republicans of this district, to
the fact that the Tax Collectors for the
various Counties composing this district
are now ready to receive all taxes due the
counties and State for the present year.
The Tax Collectors will receive all taxes
due, until the 15th of November. All will
have an opportunity of paying them, until
that time. After then, all who have failed
to pay their taxes will be Double Taxed,
with costs of executions, &c. We would
urge upon all Republicans, the importance
of coming forward and paying their taxes
promptly. By so doing, you will save your
selves from the certaininty of being Double
Taxed with costs of Executions, besides
other attendant vexatious. The attention
of the colored people is specially directed
to the importance of paying the Poll Tax.
This is for the education of their children.
It cannot be contributed to a more noble
purpose. Republicans should take delight
in paying this-, This small pittance of 31,-
’OO can be easily, paid. There is none so
poor as not to be able to raise this amount.
You will certainly not falter, when yon re
flect this is for the education of the children
of the State. You are cautioned also
against disfranchising yourselves from par
ticipation in the elections of next year. Re
collect that we have important elections
taking place next year, and unless you
come forward promptly aud pay this tax,
you will not be permitted to cast a vote at
these elections. If you should fail to pay
this tax, and have the mortification of being
refused a vote at these elections, blame
will attach to no one but yourselves.
The success of the Republican Party in
this district depends entirely upon the pay
ment of these taxes.
We feel that you are not so lost to
patriotism as to cause its defeat, through
the non-payment of these taxes. The Re
publicans of this District have borne them
selves manfully in the past. They have
won the encomiums of friends throughout
maintain in the future, the record so glo
riously made in the past. Republicans!
we feel that you will prove yourselves equal
to the demands upon you. Come forward
now, and pay your taxes, and then, "V ictory
will again crown the banners of the party.
We earnestly request every leading Repub
lican in each county, to go actively to work;
have their counties thoroughly canvassed,
the people instructed as to their duties,
and see that all have an opportunity of pay
ing their taxes. All reports as to the pay
ment of taxes, will bo thankfully received
by this committee.
C. W. Arnold,
Chairman.
