Fpeak or pje.”
Just after the war, Gqy. Brown ad'
vised the people of Gjeflpgja to “ AC'
cept the sUuuUou,’ 4 readily
in tlie changed state of affairs, and
promptly comply with the demands j
of the victorious section. 11 is advice ;
appeared to be prudent, and to in- :
volve no sacrifice of principle, Bus ;
the of opinion,”
many of them inpro ski-rf,.ls of patri
otism, who had never had bone or
back bone enough to shoulder a nms
ket in the fearfej strife just over, de
nounced Gov. Brown as a traitov to
his State and section, as having said
himself to thy Radicals, as unworthy
of bplipfj credit, cat or asso
ciation. “Tray, Blanplie and Sweet
heart,” the wliole pack, in full cry, join
ed and swelled the chorus, j;nd never
before, perhaps, was any man so un
mercifqjjy abused in jQeorgia. Gov.
Brown was undoubtedly drive?} into
the ranks.
HE NOW HAS HIS r.EVKNGs!
Two years ago, Hill published
an address to the people of Georgia,
declaring tlie amendments to the Con
stitution and tlie ucts of Congress in
pursuance thereof, however adopted
by fraud and trickery, or through
false or revengeful feel
ings, or however, uniugfly pxeeuted,
to be valid laws of the land; that all
good citizens were bound to obey
them; that ye should look for their
only to a returning sense
of right and gpnprosity Qfl the part
of the North and to the ballot-box ;
and that we, in the mean time, ought
not to forget our fundamental motto,
“ AjVjsdom Justice and Moderation,"
Tltfs. pQQj appeared to be prudent
and to involve no sacrifice of principle.
However, upon the given signal, there
arose, from the “ manufactiirers of
public opinion," not on argument
in opposition to Mr. lIUls opinion
but an ululation, long, and deep, and
loud, filling earth and air, and sky with
the brazen clangor of its sound, over
what they were pleased to call Mr, Hill’s
defection and his falsification of his
past proud record ; and Mr. Hill was
with Gov.
BUT HE, TOO, HAS JIAD HIS REVENGE, 1
Scarce had died away the sound,
and men unstopped their ears, and,
wondering, asked when next that yell
HOiild rise, when, 10, from Cincinnati
Town “than Babel w'orse coil founded’
where gathered shreds of parties war
ded, there came the nomination of
Chappaquaiu famed,
HORACE GREELEY FOR PRESIDENT J
“ Ye gods and little fishes ! ”
A platform of glittering generalities
was gracefully offered as a stand for
thp philosopher’s hat.
Forthwith the “ manufacturers of
public opinion” seized thoiy iphite hats ,
and, waving them aloft, '•i’ifh a “ hip,
hip, hurrah,” raised the maudlin shout
of
“ R-B a h for ‘Race ! ’’
How Gov. Brown and Mr. I Jill
must laugh !
The Convention that nominated the
Chappaquain was composed of cer
tain dissatisfied leaders, or would be
leaders, of the Republican Party,
numbering, among its friends aud fol
lowers, many of the most violent ene
mies of the South, notably the Sum
ner faction and Mr. Greeley himself,
men who have been the most active
in maligning and oppressing the
South since the war-
The Greeleyan platform appears, to a
superficial observer, to be a mere tis
sue of glittering generalities, of more
sound than meaning; but careful scru
tiny show’s, especially when studied io
the light of the antecedents of its fra
mers and its standard bearer, that it
is the broadest and most comprehen
sive enunciation of the Higher Law'
Doctrine yet put forth, treating with
scorn all law s, compacts and oonstitu
tions, except aR they may suit for the
moment the will or whim ot an unbri
dled majority! . Not one word of pro
test against, or of reprobation, of the
high-handed and liberty-destroying
course ofthe present administration!
How could it ? Jfy.r Mr. Greeley has
ifieifr inspiring wind of it all.
How Gov. Brow’n and Mr. Hill
must laugh—Gov Brow n, at the sud
den conversion of his defamers to
radicalism—Mr. Hill, at their hearty
endorsement of Federal legislation; or,
rather, whqt contempt they, and all
sensible people, must feel for these
“manufacturers of public opinion”!
Surely they have their revenge!
Bi\t w£ choose between Mr.
Greeley and Gen. Grant; so w# are
told, though the ichy has never been
given.
If we must , we must; but let us
make an intelligent choice, and to do
compare their records,
UEVuRE THE WAR,
Mr. Grt«>i*>y was an
abolitionist ; a bitter
hater and reviler of
the South ; the stirrer
up of str.fe ; one of
the chief instigators
of the war. Said he,
or his paper, in 1860,
threatening the South
with uar: “ When
rebellious traitors are
overwhelmed in tho
tield, and scattered
like, leaves before an
angry wind it must
not be to return to
peaceful and content
ed homes They must
find poverty at their
firesides and id prita,-
t\on in anxious eyes of
mothers and the rays of
children.
The South l>.*nra evi
dence to the K\iccees us
hU policy.
DURING THE WAR,
Keg. Greeley cninmand
e« the Tribune. At one
time he s..id, thut if the
luouvncrn States really
desired to leave the Un
iyn, they ought to he al
lowed to do so. But he
was, from first to last,
the most blood thirsty
warrior, perhaps, not in
tlie Held, the great lead
er of the North in the
war, the approver, if not
the instigator, of its
H'.P'vd hgHiah iwtn-.
after TIIE AVAR.
Gen Greslej still coin
raaudfd the Tribune,
and,was fur tho prose
cution of the war ac
cording to ' hia pro
grammu lS«o ; *and
being largely the brain
of his party, be hae been
most successful in car
rying out his policy. He
became one of Mr. Da
vis’s bondsmen, pro
nounced in favor of,nrn
versa! amnesty and uni
versal cqu.-.lity; and of
mixcd schools tburches
and families He is a
great rider of Hobbies,

Heisrouny to you

ahoL. fi.niMug or any

a “ man aud brother,” is
said to be a first rate fel
low. But what crotchet
be will have to morrow,
or whet tangent he will

body knows ; for in all
things, he is mi generis.
Is genial and jovial as a

tjge on any tunin's
nest or watemcHon
patch, Would

beet, than a fifteen

Such, according to general report*
are the two men between whom w.o
are called upon to chose; the one the,
Gpifitys of his party-tfie other its Exe
cutive; hortl identical in principles.—
What can avc gain by falling away to
either? To do £O, we must, in advance,
giye up pur pvjnciples-all of them-we
DpijlOvJi'ftts, for the writer is of that
ilk. It is, then, simply and purely, a
question of bargain and sale, aud Ave
ought to make the best terms possible.
But before selling out, let us ponder
the following fable :
Red Man and White Man went out
to hunt in cahoot. They a tur
key and a buzzard; quj,' at the close
ofthe day, sat down to divide the
spoil.
Said White Man to Red Man :
“You choose the buzzard, and I’ll
take the turkey; or I’ll choose the tur
key and you take the buzzard.”
“Ugh!” said Red Man, giving the
inexpressibly significant grunt and
shrug of his race, “White Man get
turkey every time !”
Thfc writer, Mr. EJifP**} like§ turkey
and if this matter is reduced to a sim
ple question of sale, he wants to fall
on the turkey side; but he greatly
fears that the Democratic Party,
whether battling with the Republican
Party proper as led fiy Grqqt, or the
faction, left by Greeley, will when the
spoil is to be divided, get only Red
Man’s share.
Instead of siding with either wing
of the divided house of our political
antagonists, why not take advantage
of their division, and strike a blow
for the good oldcqusef Tibs seems to
be the fjictyfp of common sense. Rut
if we are tp cell out, let us know the
terms offered; and as no principle is
involyoj—except the simple one of
giving up all our principles —why,
We Democrats ought to try to make
the best thing possible out ofthe com
merdal transaction , and be sure .to
get turkey for ourn. For one, how
ever, the writer is for standing by
the vdd flag, and is in favor of
No Surrender.
Gen. Grant was first
an army officer, a gradu
ate of West Point--after
wards a private citizen.
In politics a Democrat.
Ge». Grant commanded

against her But he
soon changed, and to
him more than to any
other man, except Gen.
Grteley, the South owes
her detear. IJis desola

never be forgotten or

Letter from a Grant Republican.
Editor Times. —Please give place
to this as a reply to two editorials,
which appeared in your paper, which
I think reflects rather too severely,
on Borne {i Graiit Republicans in this
vicinity"
The first to which I allude was
your piece advocating Greeley as a
proper person to be supported, by the
Democracy, In W’hioh you say “unlike”
some Grant Republicans in this vicini
ty w’e are not life long supporters of
Greeley &£• I w?ts astonished when
I saw it
Dont you know that there was
once a Grand National Whig party
that extended all over these United
States! Do you not remember that
the ©a*iße ot the dissolution of tlnjt
glorious old party* was because the
Northern wing of the party had be
came abolitionized, under the teach
ings of this same Horaoe Greelev!
Do you remember that Greeley called
the notorious John Brown, a martyr
find sevftnd savior, because he came
into Virgiuia with a force of armed
men with the avowed object to make
war on Southern men, and destroy
their property, and for which he was
so justly hung! You must know
that this John B r Q\vn raid did more
to cause secession than even the elec
tion of Lincoln. You must be misin
formed when you say that there are
Grant Republicans heie jyho have
been life long supporters of Greeleya
doctrine’s. I know of none such,and be
sides Mr. Editor to say that Southern
men favored John Brown’s raid, is a
pretty serious charge. I abandoned
the Whig party for reasons that I have
stated, and voted against secession
(among other reasons) because I
though it would destroy the little in
terest I had in slave property.
Let me .cqigmend action ot the
Southern Whigs to you qnd your in
telligent readers, anj ask can yqu not
find something profitable in studying
if not following their patriotic exam
ple.
Now to your .ether cl targe: ‘.‘We po
lish au extract of Horace Greeley’s
speech to the negroes of Poughkeep
sie, New York, at the i;eq\iest of a
prominent Grant Republican of this
place, and that it conies \vitfi a bad
grace from him, to want to injure Mr.
Greeley, as h$ has been very busy for
the last few ywws iu trying to pro
mnlgate Mr. Greeleys ideas by circu
lating the Tribune all over the county,
<fcc. v
Let me ask iu reply what ideas? —
Surely not until very lately has this
question of uu>;ed schools, mixed
families, mixed congregations, mixed
guests at hotels, and public convey j
anees, been a national question j
Therefore you charge in effect* that I j
have been busy in promulgating this
social negro equlitv doctrine of Gree
ley. I deny it, Now to the proof
It seems to me Mr. Editior, in “ lad
grace ” for you the organ of the late
white mans’ party in this county to
advocate Greeley, to be voted for by
this pure high toned party. You well
know that only a short time since po
litically your party’s “stock in trade,”
consisted in such arguments as these
“ White man’s party,” “Negro equal
ity," “Opposition to negro supre
macy, r “Scalawag, &c., Ac.,” and that
a gi£at jn*ny good men were convinc
ed by such unanswerable arguments,
that if your party was not successful
social negro .equality would be en
forced all oyer the country.
In orger -to prppefly understand
this question let,me make gpipp state
ments about (the .history of recoil-
Sfyuotion, and ask if they are not true?
Wjhen Andrew Johnson was presi
dent was not General Grant sent
through -SqutJlSim States t qn a
tour ot inspection to report 'upon
the loyalty and fitness of the South
ern people, to he entrusted with civil
government iq thp niilpp, that
reported our peopfp loyal, and advised
that we be promptly restored Jq
our rights in the government.
Shortly after this, Congress proposed
to the State Legislatures the adoption
of the 14th Constitutional Amend
ment, which for a limited time only
prevented certain persons from hold
ing office, and prevented us from
counting negroes in apportioning
members of Congress, unless we al
lowed them to vote. A great man)
very sensible men thought then, and
still think that if the Southern States
had accepted this offer, that there the
work of reconstruction would have
ended, Instead of accepting the
proporsition your party papers were
publishing as it was then called the
“Roll of Infamy,” of all persons in
the Southern State Legislatures who
voted to accept the 14th amendment,
and as a consequence (your party be
ing in the majority in nearly all the
Southern States,) the amendment was
rejected.
Theji 4 was, that Congress passed
the reconstruction layrs, eutVapphised
the negroes, placed us under ;uil4ary i
control, all over the veto of Andrew
Jqhngon.
tTi\der these acts in all the South
ern States, the people were called op
to vote on the question of calling Con
ventions and organizing thpir State
Governments.
Many of your painty thought it bet
ter to submit to the inevitable, and in
this county two competent men were
put forward as candidates for the Con
vention. In other counties the same
view was taken, hot all at once your
party leaders decided otherwise.—
Your candidates were withdrawn all
over the State, and the work of recon
struction was abandoned to the ne
jjroes, carpet baggers andafew others
with what lesulta we well know.
What power had we to resist ?
The practical question then was not
! whether the negro could vote, but
whether the white men had not better
go forward and control their own
State Governments.
The arguments used by those who
thought it best to submit were:
‘ Have not the terms got worse by re
jecting the 14th amendment?” “Will
not the terms be still worse if we re
ject this c^fpr."
Mississippi vote*! $ conven
tjon but after being still more hundU
ated, bad .at last to submit <?p worse;
terms.
The strong argument for submis
sion then was, to “place ourselves in
a condition as soo« a§ posible to help
mould and shapo the laws that mainly
effected us, that unless we did, social
negro equality would be forced on us
as fa** us *t could be by law.
The Goorgia Convention met and
thought they had settled the question,
by ordaining that “ the social status
of the citizen should not be a subject
of legislation.” This put it out ot
the power of the legislature to pass
laws on the subject and was satisfac
tory at that time to both races.
Now candidly Mr. Editor cant you
see the wisdom of tin? white recon
structionists then ? Now we are re
stored to all our rights and have the
privilege of voting in this momen
tous National question of “social ne
gro equality,” which has lately been
sprung by your present ally Mr.
Sumner, who offered an amendment
to the amnesty bill that had passed
the House, by making it a penal of
fence to not give the same rights at
all -hotels, public conveyances, schools,
and churches, and elsewhere to blacks
as well as whites. When ever before
was this a National Questi >n ? When
before did any one in Carroll County
try to promulgate these ideas of so
cial rvgre equality, by circulating
Greeley’s paper ? Don’t it look like
that now when persons are asked to
vote for Greeley, that his ideas are
being promulgated ?
where Genl. Grant has
himself to such doctrines.
Show me one Georgia White Repub
lican whq favors it. This is anew
question, and Mr. Greeley says 12 days
after he is nominated in a negro
church in Poughkeepsie Uew York,
“ I trust that tlve-b (meaning ne
groes) political .equality will lead to
other equality thau this. * * I trust
the day is not very far distant when
the common rights of Blacks in pub
lic conveyances, in public meetings, and
institutions, will he recognised as they
never were before, and imperfectly re
cognized Still. I hope the time will
come when oar educational institu
tions and seminaries will be open to
all races, with a freedom, with a hos
pitality never before enjoyed.”
There it is. The Negroes must not
only be received by our children and
teachers, at schools with freedom, but
with hospitality.
Why from the way your papers talk
ed of ns a year or two ago, you could
have expected no better of us, but
your leaders of this immaculate white
mans’ party, to support a man with
such views as Greeley is past my com
prehension. The negroes here want
no mixed schools, they know it would
result in their injury.
But again Mr. Greeley, says in Iris
apepptanoe letter:
That subject to our solemn consti
tutjopal obligations to maintain the
equal rights of citizens our policy
shoujd aim at Jocal government <fcc.”
Now this is recent. This is not re
cords of the “ musty pgst.” Are not
Blacks,citizens as wel} as Whites ? Is
any exception hern made ? Are not
political and social all the rights
of citizens ?
Whea Greeley says “That subject
to our solemn Constitutional obliga
tion to maintain the equal rights of
citizens <fcc.,” does he mean to say
that the civil rights bill passed in
1868, the 14th and tlojLh,Constitution
al Amendments confer equal social
rights, to,fbe negroes as well as the
whites ? If so don’t that make him
still more odious ? Wont these views
of Greeley as expressed ,ip -accep
tanoe letter, if earned out, make null
and void our State laws, which pre
vent the intermarriage of Whites and
Blacks ? It looks so to me. Please
explain.
All intelligent men know that civil
and political rights are conferred on
blacks, which will be difficult or al
most impossible soon to change, but
never until now has this social negro
equality question assumed such dan
gerous proportions. Now Mr. Editor
it looks rather strange to say, that be
cause I and other Grant Republi
cans have done something to increase
the circulation ot your paper, that we
indorse all your views, or all you mav
pvpr express on any new political ques
tion that may be sprung.
Yoii were kind enough t? publish
an extract of one of Greeley's speeches.
Please publish this extract of Gree
ley’s editorial, lately published by Mr.
Stephens, giving his, “ Greeley’s ”
vfews as to how our returned soldier
were to be received home by their
families after the war.
“Therefore shall we imitate no
more in war than in peace * *

whelmed in the field and scattered
like leaves before an angry wind, it
must not be to return to peaoeful and
contented homes. They must find
poverty at the firesides, and see priva
tion in anxious eyes of mothers and
the rags ot their children.’ ”
Contrast these sentiments with
Gen Grants course at Vicksburg,
when our poor starved army surren
de red.
Grant treated them as brothers and
sent them home on parole, contrary
to the wish of the Secretary' of War.
When Gen. Lee surrendered, Gen.
Grant told his army not to exult over
the capture of such noble soldiers,
and provided with liberality (eonsid
ering the circumstances) tor the re
turn of our soldiers home.
Also when after the assassination
of President Lincoln, the Northern
people were so enraged that it was
difficult to restrain mobs from murder
ing our prisoners, and when Andrew
Johnson had ordered the arrest of
our leading Generals, “to be tried for
treason, convicted for treason and
huijg tbr treason," look at Gen,
Grants noble couduct in saving them
by telling jthoso over him that it
not be done ”
When in Texas the civil and mili
tary tribunals were both claiming ju
risdiction to try some offenders du
ring the enforcement of the recon
struction acts by the military, Ue sus
tained as Gen. of the army, Gee.
Hancooks famous decision, placing
the civil law over the military.
In conclusion let me say then Mr.
Editor, that I do not agree with you
in your editorial where you say you
do not care the snap of your finger
“for Mr Greeleys individual opinion on
this question of social negro equality
unless he proposes to legislate tvc.”
A man is a Democrat or Republi
can, by reason of Jtus individual opin
ion.
By voting for a man with-published
political opinions, we thereby endorse
by our vote those individual opinions.
How can a man vote for Mr. Greeley
without endorsing to a small extent
His opinion on this question?
For this very reason and others I
cannot vote for Mr. Greeley. I have
been a subscriber of Mr. Greely’s pa
per not that I endorsed all his ideas,
but because I thought and still think
that the Tribune for useful and general
information is one of the best in the
United States, and Greeley would
suit as an editor better than n Presi
dent.

Tribute of Respect.
When we think of the many ills to
which flesh is heir, of the many fatal
accidents, to which Life is subject, we
wonder more, that we live so long
than that we die so soon. One, from
another world, exempt from the con
tagious and diseases of ogrs, would
think life here invulnerable, either ,qp
account of the fortifications thrown
around it by science, or in itself, like
the rock of Gibraltar, impervious to
every assault. Yet how frail a tiling
it is. Thousands of instruments of
destruction are ever ready to do their
work, It has been weft said, “ that
life is a fbuntian, fed by a thousand
streams, that perishes, if one be dried.
It is a silver cord, twisted with a
thousand threads that parts asunder,
if one be broken.- Life is dear to all,
especially to the young man just enter
ing upon a career of usefulness and
honor, leaping upon its busy arena,
as the mettled courser upon the track;
and to him cut off af the moment,
when all are hoping so much, —when
bis mind is expanding to receive each
ray of knowledge, when all are anti
cipating the brilliant noon by the
coruscation of the rising sun—well
might such a spectacle suffuse with
team the cheek of Divinity.
Such a character was our friend, Ch
A. Perdue, who departed this life the
3(>th of May last, in the nineteenth
year of his age, afflicted with that fa
tal disease menrngetis. Though young,
Charlie had endeared himself to rll by
his cheerful discharge of every duty,
his consistent piety, and bis ’general
amiability of character: Therefore
We the Joint Committee, represent
ing the Lodge of Good Templars, the
Methodist Sunday School, Prof. A
C. Reese’s School and the Union Sim
day School, appointed to prepare an
appropriate tribute to his memory, as
be was a member of each organiza
tion, report the following resolutions:
Resolved , Ist. That whilst we
grieve over the great loss that has be
fallen ns, we murmur not at the dis
pensations of Providence, bnt will lay
this sad event to heart, remembering
that we too, must shortly die, and so
remembering, will try to prepare for
that great and solemn event.
Resolved , 2d. That we deeply sym
pathize with the immediate family and
friends ot the deceased, but bid them
mourn not as those without hope,
pointing them to the consolation of
David, for Charlie, we feel sure, was
prepared for the change.
Resolved, 3d- That.we request the
Carroll Timks to publish
this Tribute, and that a copy be sent
to the family of the deceased, also to
each of the organizations of which he
was a member.
