The Cajroll County Times. CARROLLTON, GA. May 31, 1872 EDWIN R. SHARPE, Editor. . Mr. Greeley’s Acceptance. We publish elsewhere in this issue of the Times, JJIr. Greeley's letter of acceptance of the nomination tender ed him at Cincinnati by the Liberal Republicans. He endorses in fill, and unequivopably, the admirable plat form adopted there, which breathes so nobly, of pence, and ap peals for the burying of the dead past, with its contentions and feuds. His letter sounds to us, like the key note, for the inauguration of a better era, in this unhappy land of ours, ■which has suffered so much in the past fogV years, |rom the pjundgjqng and raisgovernmepf of. the satellites of the party in power, with the ap proval aiid sanction of the present na tional administration. The fact that Mr. Greeley and the wing of tlie Re publican party, who have nominated him at Cincinnati, have had the mor al courage, and liberality, to cut adrift from a party with which he and some of the leaders who arp connected with him, closely identified, since its organiza tion, on account, now, of its extreme doctrines, and want of liberality, find tendency to imperialism or consolida tion of all power at Washington, gives us hope; that even the best part of the Republican party, are will ing to lay aside the prejudices of the past, and assist in bringing back the government, before it iS too late, to the landmarks of the This is the construction that we put upon the Libera} Republican move ment. We believe that it really p.nd earnestly means peace, good wjll ;md harmony throughout this broad land, and as a messenger of such, we welcoiqg it ao a forerunner of the return of tho better days of the Repub lic. It is a fact worthy of notice, that notwithstanding the nominees of the Cincinnati Convention, especially Mr. Greeley, have been criticised very free ly by the Grant Republican and a portion of the Democratic press and leaders, yet very little has been said about the platform upon which he has been nominated. The silence with which it has been received, leaves the inference that its broad and catholic spirit is invulnerable to the shafts of the Grant Republicans, as well as the hypercritical and fault finding cen sures of the extreme Democracy, who vie with the extreme Republicans, in their warfare upon the*Liberal Repub lican movement. “Measures not men,” has always been a Democratic axiom, and it does seem to us, that this rak ing up Mr. Greeley’s past record, made over issues that are now dead and buried, in order to have something to harp upon, is in very bad taste. The nominees of the Cincinnati Conven tion, should in our opinion, stand or fall by the policy which they go be fore the country, as embodied in the Cincinnati platform, and it is ungener ous, as well as illiberal, to judge them by any other test. We believe that no body doubts their integrity, and will ingness, if elected, to sacredly carry out this platform. And right here, we do not deem it out of place to say, that there is one plank in that platform, which we do not at all approve, and that is where it holds the questions settled by the 13th, 14th and loth Amend ments as irrevocable. While we, with a great many others believe that these amendments were made parts of the Constitution in a fraudulent manner, but have no desire now to re-open them, yes we do not see why they should be made irrevocable, or put upon a different footing |rom other parts of the Constitution which can be revoked in a legitimate way. The other parts of the platform, we not only endorse, but applaud. In concluding this article, we would say, that unlike a great many of our Grant Republican fricuds in this vi cinity, we hpve r»ot been a lifetime admirer of Horace Greeley, though we have always acknowledged the ex cellency and nobility of some of his traits of character. We have always regarded him as fanatical and vision ary, but still always honest, with a character for integrity aboye suspicion, and we believe that when he says, lie will carry out the policy enunciated in [the Cincinnati platform, that he will do it, and when he says, “ Let us have peace,” he means it. We think, that under the circumstances which surround the political situation that he should be supported by the Demo cratic party, yet we expect to sus. tam the action of the Baltimore Con. veniion if ij, should decide otherwise. —* \\ c see it going the rOuncjs of the papers, that a felegram has been reoieved in New York stating that the Georgia Republican delegation to Philadelphia were not instructed to go for Grant, and that it is under £\pod they will favor somebody else. ■ —«•» »'— l — : —- geem to be the order ot the day in New York, and the ‘ Strikers” generally carry their point jYv‘ notice.

New Yop.k, May 20. — Gentleman: I have chosen not to acknowledg your letter of the 3d inst. until T could learn how the work of your convention was received in all parts of our great country, and more, whether that work was approved and ratified by the muss of our fellow citi zens. Their response from day to day reached me through telegrams, letters and comments of journalists independent of official patronage and indifferent to the entiles and favor of power. The number and character qf these umconstrained, unpurchased, un solicited utterances satisfied me that the movement which found expression at Cincinnati has received the stamp of public approval, and has been hail ed by a majority of our country as the harbinger of a better day for the Republic. Ido not misinterpret this approval as especially ’Complimentary to myself, nor even the chivalrous and justly esteemed gentleman with whose name I thank your convention for associating mine. I receive and welcome it as a spontaneous and de served tribute to that admirable plat form of principles wherein your con vention so tersely, so forcibly set forth the convictions which impelled, and tlie purpose's which guided its course, a platform which, casting be hind it the wreck and rubbish of worn out contentions and by-gone feuds, embodies in fit and few w rd , the needs and aspirations of to-day. Though thousands stand ready 'to' condemn your every act, hardly a syllable of criticism or cavil lias been aimed at your platform, of which the substance niay be fairly epitomtized as follows: 1. All political rights and fran chises which have been acquired through our late bloody convulsion, must and shall be guaranteed, main tained, enjoyed and respected ever more. 2. All political rights and franchises which have been lost through that convulsion should am] pqust be prompt ly restored and re established, so that there shall he henceforth 110 proscrib ed class and no disfranchised caste within the limits of the Union, whose long estranged people shall re unite and fraternize upon tlie broad basis of universal amnesty and impartial stiff 1 age. 3. That, subject to our solemn con stitutional obligation to maintain the equal rights of citizens, org policy should aiip at local government and not centralization; that the civil au thonty shall be supreme over military the habeas corpus should be jealously upheld as the safeguard of personal freedom; that the individual citizen should enjoy the largest liberty con sistent with public order, and there shall he no Federal dictation of tlie internal policy of the several States, hut that each shall he left free to en force the rights and promote the well being of its inhabitants by such means as the judgment of its own people shall prescribe. 4. There shall ho a real and not merely a simulated reform in civil ser vice of the Republic, to which end it is indispensable that the chief dispen ser of its vftst offich.l patronage shall be shielded from the mean temptation to use his power selfishly by a ride in exorable forbidding and precluding his reeleotion. 5. That the raising of revenue whether by tariff or otherwise, shall he recognized and treated as the peo ple’s immediate business, to be shap ed and directed by them through their representatives in Congress, whose action the President must neither over rule by his veto, nor attempt to dic tate or presume to punish by bestow ing office only on those who agree and withdrawing from those who do not. G. That the public lands must he sacredly reserved for occupation and acquisition by cultivators and not recklessly squandered on the projec tors of railroads for which our people have no present need, and the prema ture construction of which is annual ly plunging the United States into deeper and deeper abysses of foreign indebtedness. 7. The achievement of these grand purposes of universal beneficence is expected and sought at tbs hands of all who approve of them, irrespective of past affiliation. 8. The public faith must at all haz ards he maintained, and the national credit preserved. 9. The patriotic devotedness and inestimable services of our fellow cit izens, who as soldiers or sailors up held the flag and maintained the unity of the republic, shall ever be grateful ly remembered and honorably requit ed. These propositions so ably and for cibly presented in the platform of your convention, have already fixed the attention and commanded the as sent of a large majority of our coun trymen who joyfully adopt them as the basis of a true beneficent national construction, of anew departure from the jealouses and strifes and hates which have no longer any adequate motive or even plausible pretext, into the cjiuqsphere of peace, fraternity and mutual good will. In vain do the drill sergeants of decaying organ izations flourish menacingly their truncheons and angrily insist that the files shall be closed and straightened. In vqin do the whippers-iii of parties, onog vital because rooted in vital needs of the hour, protest against straying and bolting, and denounce men in no wise their inferiors as trai tors and renegades, and threaten them with infamy and ruin. lam confi dent that the American people have already made your cause their own, and resolved that their brave hearts and strong arms shrll bear it on to triumph. Iu this faith and with the distinct understanding that if elected X shall be President, not of a party, but of the whole people, I accept your nomination in confident trust that the masses of our country, North and South, are eager to clasp hands across the bloody chasm which has too long tjivided them, forgetting they have been enemies and joyful in the cons ciousness that they all remain breth ren. Yours, gratefully, llora£p Greeley. ftST The editor of the West Point News speaks of a certain picnic as having “busted.” If the editor of tlie News goes on in this style with the Queens English, he will make a burst if lie dont mind.
