EDWIN R SHARPE, Editor,
“XO \S UR RENDER' STILL
- BELLICOSE
The Times is unfortunate. It is ex
posed to a triangular fire. “Grant Re
publican” and “Union Republican,”
have opened their batteries upon it
from the front, as was to be expected,
and now its moderate and conserva
tive course, has been the innocent
cause of a fusilade from within its own
lines, from those from whom it expec
ted aid and comfort in the great bat
tle now before us. We regret this,
as we have no heart for a fight within
our own camps. But “No Surrender
fires another shot.” He is still belli
cose. He is “spilin’’ fyr a fight, and
as he can see no enerqy in the field,
and insists upon jumping upon his
friends, we suppose yve will have to
humor him a little, while he works oft*
his superfluous combativeness.
“No Surrender,” thinks that in our
editorial comments of last week, upon
his article, we ‘dodged' the issue. That
issue according to his own statement
was this: That we charged him with
“Grantism,” after endorsed
his views as thoroughly Democratic.
It is upon these premises {bat “No
Surrender,” sounds the tocsin of war
and “fires another shot” at us this
week. As we .have said “No Surren
del*” is “spilin” for a fight, and we
wiil now prove it by the Quixotic tilt
he lias run against us.
Have we charged him with “Grant
as!,U? : ’ If by that lie means favoring
the re election of Grant, we most cer
tainly have not. The only thing that
we have said that could be tortured
pito such a charge, was an intimation
Jhat his first article (in which a com
parison was drawn between Grant
and Greeley, favorable to the former,
and in which like Mr. Stephens in his
late speech in Atlanta, he had much
to against the odiousness of Gree
ley and very little about that of Grant)
would be applauded by Grant Repub
oans. This was all. “No Surrender’’
very well knows, that a cause is fre
quently injured, and aid and comfort
giyes to its opponents, by the indiscre
tion of its friends, and the exhibition
.of extremp and dogmatic views, when
ft spirit of conciliation and compro
mise is necessary. No; our friend “No
Surrender" is mistaken, as we have
no idea that he will sustain Grant, in
the coming conflict, though from the
signs of the times, it would appear
that all the roads that lead from Gree
ley, go to Grant. We believe that
when the “trumpet from Baltimore”
sounds, that like all good and true
Democrats, he M ill rally to the stand
ard of his party, and heartily sustain
the plan of campaign, its trusted
leaders may deem best to pursue.—
W e are not so uncharitable as to think
he will “advocate Radical view's, prin
ciples and men,” because he cant see
things exactly as we do. So much
for the false premises, upon which
“No Surrender” preaches us a short
sermon.
Farther on in his article, “No Sur
render” assorts that there is no differ
ence, betM’en the Grant and Greeley
platform. We think there is, but
without stopping to point it out, would
refer our readers to both platforms,
which can he found in this issue of the
Times.
The comparisons which “No Surren
der draws, are all very fine from his
standpoint, since he recognizes the
Liberal Republicans as enemies, but
from ours, where M r e recognize them
as friends, they would not hold good.
In conclusion we would reply to
the letter part of “No Surrenders” ar
ticle by .quoting some extracts, from a
recent editorial of Col. Styles, the
gallant editor of the Albany Neu-s,
an 4 member of the State Executive
Committee and also Senator elect
from his Sena tonal District.
“ Ihe question of accepting Cincin
nati and its ticket, by the Pepmcrats
at Baltimore, is a question of policy
and not of principle.
h .c hqld that, the party must adhere
to its principles in any event and aft
hazards.
There is riot an anti-democratic
the Greeley platform, so far
as principles are en unciated. There
is no principle in either of the planks
touching the 13th, 14th and 15th
Amendments, the enfranchisement,
suffrage political equality plank.
Tq proclaim an accomplished fact,
:}ud promise acquiesence and obedience
to its provisions according to the the
ory or the Government, is not the
promulgation of a principle,
W e are not for Greeley on princi
ple, or as a matter of personal choice
per se ; but as a matter qf policy,
with the present lights on the situa
tion. It seems to us that duty to the
Democratic party, duty to the w’hole
country, duty to the cause of liberty
e\ciywhere, sternly admonishes the
Pfty to forego a fruitless and fool
ish struggle, and unite with those
rvho are willing to fight for thp over
throw of Grant ism.
The cry that we are to abandon
principles in order to vote for Gree
ley and Brown on the Cincinnati
platform is all balderdash, and is in
tended to deceive and mislead that
f.uge class ofcitizens who never think.
and who are generally governed in
politics by admired leaders or favorite
champions.
As well might Democrats have.been
charged with treason to principle the
first time they honored Mr. Toombs
or Mr. Stephens with their suffrage
They were both whigs at one time
and both of them had to depart quite
as far from their whig record to se
cure the Democratic vote, as Mr.lGree
ley has departed from his anti-bellum.
war and post-bellum record to gef up
on the Cincinnati platform.
—
ffetT The LaGrange Reporter is still
red hot upon the political situation.—
It would seem that it was hard push
ed too, for argument against Greeley,
since it uses in its last issue, a garbled
extract from one of Horace’s speeches
to. prove that fie is in favor of social
equality. This same extract was first
garbled by a Grant Republican in our
paper of the 14th inst, where we pre- j
sume the Reporter first saw it. Now
wc all know that Greeley’s views are
sufficiently fanatical upon the negro j
subject,without misrepresenting them,
so brother Willingham “give the Devil
his due,” and don’t imitate a Grant Re
publican, by “toting unfair,” with ev
en as bad a man as you think Horace
to be.
ffcaf The public generally may not [
be aware of the fact, that both Grant 1
and Wilson, started out in life, with
different names from those they are
now known by. Grant’s original chris !
tian name was, Iliram Simpson, and j
Wilson’s entire name was, Jeremiah
Colbaith.
JEST' The LaGrange Reporter having
called the West Point News the ‘"little
Greeley squirt,” the News retorts by
calling brother Willingham the “La-
Grange Billy Goat.” Fie upon you
brethren ! Is this one of the amen
ities of thexpress, you resolved about
lately in Atlanta ?

Letter from an Old Whig.
Editor Times. —l am glad to see
vou so successfully combatting the ar
guments of a “Grant Republican,” and
a “Union Republican,” yet so far as
the Republicans themselves are con
cerned, it looks like labor lost to try
to convince them of their errors. It
i reminds one of the parable of the hnv
yer and the rich man. If these South
ern Republicans, after their party pre
tending to make peace with the South
and offering them amnesty, upon their
taking an oath to support the Coustitu
{ tion of the United States, and after
1 the same being complied M'ith by cit
izens generally, have still M'agod a Mar
against the Southern States and peo
ple for seven long years, reconstruc
ting and re--reconstructing, putting
over us military despots, suspen
“ding the writ of habeas corpus, forc
ing upon us by fraud and force, soealled
amendments to the constitution, in or
dor to put t tie illiterate barbarian ne
gro, and his carpet bag satellites over
the Southern M’hites, after forcing
upon tho States Radical governors,
legislatures, uho have robbed the
people of their hard earnings, pilfered
the treasury of its fund, forged bonds
on the credit of the States for millions,
appropriated to then* own personal ben
efit, the income of railroads and other
public institutions, filched the treasury
of educational funds, and final) y run
oft with the spoils, so ns to leave the
people without a remedy,—if all of
these acts of their party, and many
others as had will not convince these
Southern Radicals, -of the M'ickedness
and low meanness of the Radical
cause, then they u r ould not believe
though one was sent from the dead,
to M’arn them of the bad company
they have got into.
But they say that Greeley, whom
the Southern people are inclined to
support, Mas as bad a Radical ns
Grant. I suppose that may be true,
from the way, the Grant Radicals and
Union Radicals, circulated his pnper
—the Tribune, up to the time he
came out in favor of the Reform put
forth in the Cincinnati Convention.
Even if he was a Radical, he lias
now reformed and repented, and lias
come o.ut in favor of the liberty and
constitutional rights, guaranteed tons
by our revolutionary fathers, and is
willing to lot the M’hite people of the
Southern States, be governed by the lo
cal governments, according to the
; Constitution of the United States,
| which guarentees that all powers not
; granted to the general gavernment,
| or prohibted to the States, are leserv
|ed to the States respectively, and to
the people. Greeley has also come
j out in favor, of stopping the M ar upon
the Southern M'hites, got up by wily
| politicians, to keep themselves in pow*-
cr, and lo give them further chance
to rob the treasury of the States, and
| tax the people out of their hard earn
ings.

Philadelphia Convention. —-Tho
Philadelphia Convention declared that
the parties that now divide the coun
try are the same that M ore arrayed
against one another in the late con
flict—tints publicly and officially do
daring to the world that the crusade
against the South is not yet ended,
nor M’ill end as long as their malignant
hate can invent means to torment, de
grade and insult her. This Convon
tion has nominated Grant for re-elec
tion—this is the Convention between
M hose nominees and those of the Cin
cinnati Convention, Me arc told there
is no difference. Is there no differ
ence between the man who insists on
striking a prostrate adversary, and
one M’ho extends to him a helping
hand? It is about time that we should
examine and recognize facts, however
stern or unpalatable they may be. It
is time that we should become aware
that as long as the issues of the late
Mar are urged against us, we M ill bo
defeated. Well, then, M’hy not strive

4. Social self-governmentwith impartial suffrage

6. H e therefore regard a thorough reform of tho

claims to public employment; that the office of the

Grant Republican Platform.
•
Tho Republican party of the United States
assembled in National Convention in the city
of Philadelphia, ou the slh and Oth days ol
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 time-. It suppressed a gigantic
rebellion, emancipated 4,ut)0,900 of slaves, de
creed the equal citizenship of all, and estab
lished universal suffrage. Exhibiting ttnpar
rclled magnanimity, it criminally punished
no man for political offense.?, and warmly
welcomed all who proved their loyalty by
obeying the laws and-dealing justly with
their neighbors. It has steadily decreased
with firm hand, the resultant disorders of a
great war, and initiated a wise and humane
policy towards the Indians. The Pacific rail
road ; tid 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; the public
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 throughout
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 host pledge of the 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 engoyment of all civil, political and pub
lic rights should be estabiised and effectual
ly maintaned throughout the Union, by elfi
cient and appropriate State and Federal leg
islation, Neither the law nor its administra
tion should animate any •iiscrimina
tiou in respect to citizens, by reason of race,
creed, color or previous condition of servitude
3. The recent amendments to the constitu
tion should be cordially sustained, because
tehy are right, and not merely tolerated be
cause they are law, andshoul 1 be carried out
according to their spirit by appropriate legis
lation, the enforcement of which can safely
he entrusted only to the party that secured
those amendments.
4- The hational government- should seek to
maintain an honorable peace with all nations,
protecting its citizens everywhere, and 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 party zeal,
ij 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.
(5. Wc are opposed to further grants of pub
lic lands to corporations and monopilies, and
demand that the national domain be set
apart for free homes for the people.
7. 7Ve hold in undying honor the soldiers
and sailors, whose valor saved the Union.
Their pensions are a sacked 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, and will ex
tend the bounty of the government to all our
soldiers sailors who were honorably discharg
e<l. and who, in the tint' of duty, became
disabled, without regard to the length of ser
vice or the cause of such discharge.
8- The doctrine of Groat Britain and oth
er European powers concerning allegiance,
that once a subject always a subject, having
at last through the efforts of the Republican
party been abandoned, and the Aemriean idea
of the individual's right to transfer allegiance
luving been accepted by European nations,
it is the duty of our government to guard
with jealous 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
9. The franking privilege ought to be
abolished and the way prep; red fur a speedy
reduction in the rate ot postage.
10. Among the questions which press for
attention is that which concerns the relations
of capita! and labor, and the Republican par
ty recognize the duty of so shaping lega
tion as to secure full protection and the am
plest 1 it-U for labor—the creator of all cap
ital—the largest opportunities, and a just
share of the mutual profits of these two
great servants of civilization.
11. We hold that Congress and the Pres
ident have only performed an imperative du
ty. in their measures for the suppression of
violent arvd treasonable organizations, in cer
tain lately re be Win us regions, and for the
protection the ballot box, and that there
tore, they are entitled to the thanks of the
nation.
12. We denounce repudiation of the pub
lie debt, in nnv form or disguise, as a nation
»1 crime. Wc witness with pride the reduc ,
tion of the principal of the debt, and sthe
rates of interest upon the balance, and confi
dently expect that our excellent national cur
cency will be perfected by a speedy resump I
of specie payments.
13. 'I he Republican party is mindful of j
its obligations to the loyal women of dmeri :
ca, for their uoble devotion to the cause of
freedom.. Their admission into wider Gelds of
usefulness, is viewed with satisfaction, and
the honest demadns of any class of persons. |
Gr additional rights should be treated with 1
respectful consideration.
14. We heartily approve the action of Con
gress in extending amnesty to those lately in
rebellion, and fraternal feeling throughout
the land.
15. The Republican party propose to re
spcct the rights, reserved by the people to
themselves, as carefully as tire powers delcga
ted by them to the State. •
IG. It is the General Government to adopt
such means as wifi lend to encourage Anier
ica« commerce and ship building.
17. We believe that the modest patriotism,
the earnest purpose, the sound judgement,
the practical wisdom, the incorruptibl integ
rily and the illustrious services of Ulysses
S. Grant have commended him to the hearts
of the Amcricaq people, and will) him at
our head, we start today upon anew march
to victory.
