The Carroll County Times. CARROLLTON, GA. Juke 41,1872 EDWIN R. SHARPE, Editor. Reply to a “Grant Republican.” A lonsr and somewhat rambling communication of a “Grant Republi can' appears elsewhere in this issue of Times. It is ostensibly a reply to re cent editorials in the Timss, in which « *i f * I »** * the writer thinks we reflect rather ser verely upon some “Grant Republicans in this vicinity.’’ It is for this reason that v e give place to it, as we do not wish to do any one injutice, though we must confess, that the real ‘object of the communication, as it appears to ns, is not so much to refute Charges which tye have made against “Grant Republicans in this Vicinity,” as to make an argument fpr Grant vs Gree ley, in which the attempt xs hiade to show that the latter is til'favor of so cial equality, and the former is not. As we hy,ve before stated, we are no apologist for Greeley or any other Republican, If we should support him for the Presidency, it will be as a choice between him and Grant, and taking the published platform of each upon which they appear before the country, we think there are a good many reasons why Greeley should be supported by Southern men, in pref erence to General Grant. We in tend however to reply to some of. the points attempted to be made by the writer, and we intend.to do it serious ly, though it will cost us an effort, as he has laid himself open to ridicule, by the anomalous position he has taken. 1. He objects to our saying in a re cent editorial, that “unlike some Grant Republicans in this vicinity, wq have not been a life time admirer of Horace » . . * ’l:*'*, Greeley.” We quote from our edito rial, where the word admirer is used, and, not supporter, as he has it. Well, we do not see why he should object to that, since we simply meant, that we had not been reading the New York Tribune, applauding its sentiments, and exerting ourselves to extend its circulation, as he has been doing for the past several years. We never saw but one cr two copies of the New York Tribune in our life, until wc came to Carroll county, where we lound it scattered all over the county having a larger circulation, wo belief than any other paper at this Post Of fice.arid all through the exertion, of our corespondent. If the money he has spent, and energy he has displayed in circulating Mr. Greeley's paper, Joes not constitute him a life time admirer of Mr. Greeley, he certainly can be called one of several years. * 2. He objects to our saying that it comes with bad grace from him, to want to render Greeley odious, at this time, since he been busy tor the last few years, in promulgating Gree ley’s ideas all over the county etc. Again \v£ reply that we do not see, why he should object to the above statement, since we do him no injustice, as he well knows, it is literally true. He can not say, that he had arty other object in the world, in exerting him self so industriously, to increase the circulation of Greeley’s paper, but to promulgate his (Greeley’s) ideas. This was the motive, and he knows it. But he tries to avoid the issue, by stating that not until very lately lias thisdoc triue, of social equality been agitated. We beg leave to correct him, as it has been before the country some time, be- I t * ing one of the pet measures of his par ty in Congress. If Mr. Greeley is in favor of it now as he charges, "we pre sume he was, when he was busy in promulgating his (Greeley’s) ideas all over Carroll county, by extending the circulation ot the New York Tribune. Aud if any body ill the couqty, be lieves in the pernicious doctrine of so : cial equality, since Greeley teaches it as he charges, and since he has been busy in circulating Greeley’s ideas, as he will not deny, our corespondent is most certainly responsible for the social demoralization. But he denies bitterlv, ♦ i •;» that |i? has been busy in promulgating the social equality doctrines of Greeley* Well we have Jnot charged him w ith promulating the social equality doc trines of any body. We stated that he had been busy in circulating the New* York Tribune, but we have never said, that we are aware of, that the New York Tribune advocated this doctrine. But when our corespon dent attempts to disprove this charge of promulgating social equality doc trines, which his vivid imagination, has conjured up as made against him, we think he runs entirely off the track.— The proof as lie l*2i‘ms it, is first a tirade against the Democratic party, in which he gets a little sarcastic, and second a long and tiresome history of- Reconstruction, all of which has about as much connection, with thp simple we made, that ho had been busy iu promulgating Greeley’s ideas by circuiting the New York Tribune, as to who killed Cock Robin. We flriflk w’c have answered fully his comments upon our editorials, in which he thinks w’e reflect rather severely on “some Grant Republicans in this vicinity,” and that we have proved that wc have neither done him ncy any body else injustice, 'in* any statement be have made. Before closing this article there ftre hoWever some points in his communica tion, which requires a’passing notice. It is evident to the most casual rea der, as we have before stated, that the mam object of our corespondent, is to render Greeley odious to the white men of OarrolL countv by charging him with being in favor of social equality. Thfe was his object in re questing us last- week, to publish the extract, Irom Greeleys PolighkeepstC speech. Not satisfied with our publi cation of the entire extract, and com merits upon it, last week, he garbles it in his communication in this issue and uses such'parts'*as he thinks will serve his purpose. Ncxw we submit that this is not fair, after oi\r publish ing according to request, the , entire extract. Agaiu the evident drift of the com munication of our corespondent, is to show that he does not belong to the negro or social equality party. This, in the face of the past history of Republican and its platform, as put forth recently at Philadelphia, which we publish in another place, is, we had almost said, an insult to the intelligence of the readers of this paper, and will no doubt, excite the visibles of the well informed rea der of all parties. Why- my dear sir! your Philadelphia platform commits you s.qiureiy and unequivocally to so cial, equality, so there is no use in wriggling and twisting about it, for you have to gulp it down, or else leave the party. Also your recent Philadelphia Convention had over fif ty negro delegates in it, (the Cincin uati Convention had none we believe) and your white, delegates there, it is said, not only preached negro equality to. them, but practised also what they preached, by taking the Black dele gates to their bosoms, and eating and sleeping, and drinking with them, at the leading hotels of the Quaker City. While we do not propose to act as Mr. Greeley’s interpreter, yet wc must say, that we think th,e criticism upon Greeley’s letter of acceptance extrava gant and far-fetched. The simple con struction of what lie means, by con stitutional obligations to maintain the equal lights of citizens, we should, j think, would be, to see that the negro have these rights lately conferred up on him by the 14th and loth Amend ments, viz; the rights of citizenship and suffrage. “This and nothing more.’’ The idea of lugging in the civil rights bill of 1808, as a constitutional obliga tion, in order to carry Ids point, and make Greeley mean something, that the simple construction of ids language will not authorize, is a shallow subter fuge, and unworthy the ability of our correspondent. The extract from Greeley’s editorial during the war as to how' the South ern soldier should find his home, upon returning, is we confess rather heavy. But in those days of blood and mad ness, a good many severe things were sstid, no doubt, by both sides.— Greeley, being an editor, happened to have his sayings recorded. But how different has been bis actions, from the direful threats uttered in those days of madness. L nlike the majori ty of the Republican party, who are now T useing Grant as their tool, to wreak vengeance and revenge upon a people at their mercy, Greeley w r as willing when our armies surrendered, to let the war stop. And beyond all Northern men, has shown a disposi tion to bury the hatchet, and receive back the Southern people in fraternal relations. For this, we shall ever ad mire him, and give him credit. We are not so much of the partisan, either as to deny the noble action of Gen or al Grant at Vicksburg and especially at Appomattox C. 11., for we had the honor of belonging to (lie army of Northern Yeremin, and know where of we. sn§aV, when we say that he treated General Lee’s army magnan imously at the surrender. But alas for human ambition! although a pro nounced Democrat, visions of the Presidency tempted, him from the high position which he occupied as a soldier, and he has been made the tool of tlie revengeful spirit of the North, to crush, and oppress his fellow’ citi zens of the South. So we reiterate of 1 ' General Grant, what we have said of Mr. Greeley, that we do not care the snap of our finger, what his indi vidual opir.iqn may be, so long as be suffers himself to, he ;]ie representative aud executioner of thg behests of a party who are determined that the war shall not end, notwithstanding it has been seven years, since it nominal ly closed, and who are determined up on the farther humiliation of our peo ple, notwithstanding their longings aiid desires for peace, in order to build up their crippled fortunes. "VV e tl\ink that “Grant Republican" is a little fast in classing Sumner as an ally of Greeley’s. Though lie hates Gvant, like the Devil, they say, hates holy water, w T e have not yet heard of his joining the Liberal Movement.— The Liberal party, we think, is entire ly too catholic in spirit, for the vir uors ‘/phawles.” Ia conclusion we would say, that our correspondent, was unfortunate in his allusion to Old John Brown as it reminds us, that we are told by the telegraph that the entire Grant Con- Verition the other day, after the unan imous '‘nomination of Grant, arose and sung that notorious sohg about Old John Brown's spirit “• still marching on.” The natural inference, of course, is, that the convention considered the re-nc min alien of Grant, as carrying out the Hellish spirit of that old horse thief. This may not be palatable to a “Grant Republican” in Carroll Conn ty,' but he can not deny that the infer ence is not a legitimate one.- * - ■ ■ ■ ■<> <O-> ' : UST" James Gordon Bennett the founder of the New York Herald, died during the past week in New York in the 77th year of age.

Wc publish the plat form, but have no room for comments this week. “No Stu'iender,’’ A corespondent under the above iiom de plume, is out in this issue, in a long article, which he closes, by appealing for a Democratic nomina tion at Baltimore. If the Convention »• should see any earthly chance, when they meet, of electing a Democrat, why of course, we would say with our cor make,Democratic ncmi tion. Rut if a failure with a Demo cratic. nominee, is. inevitable, and suc cess with the Liberal Republican candidates, certain, we see no good reason why the Democratic party should commit political suicide, when it can, at least, get partially what it ; demands, by joining hands with the Reformers. Notwithstanding our correspon dent’s opinion to the contrary 4 we think there is a good deal of differ cnee between Greeley and Grant, and the platforms upon which they appear before the people. Greeley has ever. since the war closed, been gene oils, while Grant on the contrary, has been a tool in the hands ol the perse outers of the South, and we therefore propose, if we have to sell out, to sell to Greeley, as he oilers the best terms. AY e regret that we have not space to | comment further upon the article of ; -’No Surrender”, bat will close, bv I saying, that \v? wifi venture the asset* ! tion, that “Grant Republican" will ! applaud his communication, and pat him on the back in encouragement of (he position he has taken. llabit.— Few have sufficient res pect for habit; the ease with which it may be formed, the difficulty with whicli it can be broken, ’the magical power with which it smooths the rough path of duty, enabling us to look w ith indifference upon the allure ments of the world- It is a band to shield, which the fingers of a boy may at first weave of threads light as gossamer, and which yet grows in to the strength of steel. By its aid the greatest things are accomplished. The cultivation of proper habits should be impressed on the young. The New York Sun, which is sel dom satisfied with things, objects to the proport ions of a rattlesnake recent ly seen in Carter county, in this State, and described as reaching from one side of the road to the other, while its body was as big as an ordinary churn. The Sun says “that w'as a very badly proportioned snake,” and that “it should have been a good deal longer, or else a good deal thin ner.” We should like to kgc. T iy \yho is running the snakes of this State, the State herself or the New’ York Sun ? When things comes to such a pass that New York arrogates (a her self the right to dictate to yjcky the size and shape of her serpents, it is high time for the trumpet to sound to arms and for the sword to leap from its scabbard.— Courter <7 O urnal. Grant Republican Platform. The Republican party of the United States assembled in National Convention in the city of Philadelphia, on the olli and Oth days of June, 1872, and declares its faith, and ap peals to its history, again announces Its posi tion on the questions before the country. 1. During eleven years of supremacy, it has accepted with grand courage, the solemn du ties of the times. It suppressed a gigantic rebellion, emancipated 4,1)00,000 of slaves, de creed the equal citizenship of all, and estab lished universal suffrage. Exhibiting nnpar relled magnanimity, it criminally punished no man for political offenses, and warmly welcomed all who proved their loyalty by obeying the laws and dealing justly with their neighbors. Jt has steadily decreased with firm hand, the resultant disorders of a gr eat war, and initiated a wisa and humane policy towards the Indians. The Pacific rail road and similar vast enterprises have been generally aided and successfully conducted, the public lands freely given to actual settlers immigration protected and encouraged, and a full acknowledgment of the naturalized cit izens’ rights secured trout European powers. A uniform National currency has been pro vided, repudiation frowned down; the Nation al credit sustained under most extaordinary burdens, and new bonds negotiated at lower rate; the revenus have been carefully collect ed and honestly applied, despite annual large reductions of the rate of taxation; fhfe" ! ptibftc debt has been reduced, during Gen. Grant s Presidency, at the rate of a hundred millions a year: great financial crises have been avert ed, and peace and plenty prevail thronghout the land; menacing foreign difficulties have been peacefully and honorably composed and the honor and power of the nation kept in high respect througout the world. This glorious record of the past is the par ty's best pledge of tire future. We believe the party will not entrust the government to any, or combination of men, composed chief ly of those who resisted every step of this beneficial progress. 2. Complete liberty and exact equality, in the erigoyment of all civil, political and pub lic rights shoald be estafclised and eflecttral ly maintanedihroughout the Union, by effi cient and appropriate State and Federal leg ation. Neither the law nor its administra tion should animate any discrimina tion in resjjeet to citizens, by reason of race, Creed color or previous condition of servitude 3 Xfe recent amendments, to (ae constitu tion should he cordially sustained, because tehy aid right, and not merely tolerated be cause tliey are law, and should be carried out according to their spirit by appropriate legis lation, the enforcement of which ean safely be entrusted only to the party that secured those amendments. 4- The hational government should seek to maintain an honorable peace with a,’d nations, protecting its citizens everywhere, ahd sym pathizing with all people who strive for great er liberty, 5. Any system of civil service, under which the subordinate positions of the Government are considered rewards for mere pa.ty zeal, is fatally demoralizing, and we therefore, fa vor a reform of the system, by laws which shall abolish the evils of patronage, and make honesty, efficiency and fidelity, the essential qualifications for public position. 0. \\ ? are (. noosed, (o Qi ((ter grafts of pub lic lands to corporations and monopilies, and demand that the national domain bo set apart fur free homes, for the people, 7. *tVe hold in undying honor the soldiers and sailors, whose valor saved the Union. Their pensions arc a sac-ed debt of the nation and the widows and orphans of those who died for their country, are entitled to the care of an Additional legislation, anu nnl ?£ tend the bounty of the government to all our Soldiers sapors who were honorably dh>ch«rg ed, an 1 wh >, in the time of duty , became disabled, without regard to the length of ser vice dr the cause of such discharge. 8- The doctrine of Great Britain and oth er European powers concerning allegiance, that once a subject always a subject, having at last through the efforts Vff rl;h He.publieXlh party been abandoned, ami jb e Awnrican idea of the iudividnal’s right to trdnsfer allegiance having been accepted*'by European nations, it is the duty 0.(.0i;,r government to guard with care the rights of adopt ed citizens, against the assumption of unau thorized claims, by their former governments, and we urge continual careful encourage ment and protection of voluntary immigration 0. The franking privilege ought to be abolished and the way prepared for a speedy reduction in the rate of postage. 10 Among the questions which press for attention is that which concerns the relations of capital and labor, and the Republican par ty recognize the duty of so shaping legisla tion as to secure full protection and. the am plest field for labor —the creator of all cap ital—the largest opportunities, arid a just share of the mutual profits of these two great servants of civilization. 11. We hold that Congress and toe Pres ident have only performed an impe ative da ty, in their measures for the suppression of violent u,n 1 treasonable organizations, in cer tain lately rebellious regions, and for the protection M the ballot box, and that there fore, they arc entitled to t,he thanks of. tbq na<i n. 12. We denounce repudiation of the pith lie dibt, in any form or disguise, as a nation al ctime. We witness with pride the roduc tion of the principal of the debt, and 4 thc rates of interest upon the balance, and eor.fi dent!v expect that our exce’dcut national cur reucy will be perfected by a speedy iesutnp of specie pay men's. 13. The Republican parly is mindful of its obligations to the lou,l women of uimori ea. for their noble Uevotioufo the cause ol freedom. Their admission into wider frvlds of usefulness, is viewed with satisfaction, am! the honest domudns of any class of persons, f.r additional right* should be treated with rcs'xctiul consideration. 1 f. We heartily approve the action of Con gross in extending amnesty to those lately in rebellion, an 1 fraternal feeii.ng throughout the land. 15. The Reptumean party propose to re spent, the rights, reserved by the people to themselves, as carefully as the powers deleg a ted by them to the State. 16. It is the General Government to adopt such means ns will tend to encourage Aruer iean commerce and ship building. 17. Wc believe that the modest patriotism, the earnest purpose, the ijoun l judgement, the practical wisdom, the incorruptild integ ritv and the illustrious services of Ulysses S. Grant have commended him to the hearts of the American, people, and vyith him at our head, we start today qpon anew march to victory. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. FRANK N.
