The Carroll County Times. CARROLLTON, GA. June 28,1872. 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 ? -■ 1 & Di'.mockatic Convention*.—The Democratic Convention met in At lanta on the 2Gth.

W e await the action of the Baltimore Conven tion in July, believing that it will do much towards dispersing the clouds that have so long lowered upon the country. —Marietta Journal. 7 *—• —. - 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. Old Whig. 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 to bury the grinning skeleton 1-West Point Xeics. Lemon Pie in Washington.—l am particularly fond of lemon pie for des serf. At 1 M'ent on peaceably for a couple of weeks, but ahvays eat mg lemon pie under a silent protest, for I Mas a stranger, and did not like to make objections. Finally I called a M’aitcr and said : “John what kirn] of pie is this?” “What kind did you order sail.?” “I ordered lemon pie, but this ap pears to be dried apple.” “Dat’s lemon pie salt.

Social self-governmentwith impartial suffrage will guard the rights of all citizens more scdurelv than any centralized power. The people and tlm public welfare require th ■ supremacy of tho civfl over the military authority, and freedom of person uuderthe protection of the haheus corpus. He demand for the individual tire largest 1 iberiy, con sistent with public order, for the Shite stif-gov erume.ut. and fer the nation a return to the meth ods of peace, and the constitutional limitations of power 5. The civil service of tlie Government has be come a mere instrument of party tyranny and per sonal ambition. nnd an object of selfish greed.— It is a scandal and upon free .institution* and breeds a demoralization dangerous to the per petuity of republican government 6. H e therefore regard a thorough reform of tho most pressing necessities of the hour; that hones ty rapacity and fidelity constitute the only valid claims to public employment; that the office of the Government cense to be a matter of arbitrary fav oritism and patronage, and that public station be come again a post or honor. To this end it is im peratively required that no President shall be a candidate for re-election. 7 He demand a system of Federal taxation which shall not uuneccessarily interfere with the industry ot the people, which shall provide the means necessary to pav tho expenses of the Govern economically administered, the pensions, the interest on the public debt and a moderate'anual reduction on the principal thereof; and recogniz ing hat there are in our midst, honest but irrecon cilable differences of opinion with regard to the res pective systems of protection and free trade, we remit the discussion of the subject to the people in their Oongressiomil districts and tho decision of fbngross thereon, wholly free of Executive inter ference or dictation. 8. ’t lie public credit must be securely maintain ed. and we denounce repudiation ineveiy form and guise. 9. V speedy return to specie payments is deman ded. alike, by the highest considerations of com mercial morality and honest Government. 10. M T c temember with gratitude the heroism and sacrifices of tne soldiers and sailors of the Re public, [and no act of ours shall ever detract from their patriotism I'. Hr are opposed to all further grants of lands to railroads or other corporations. The public do main should beheld sacred to actual settlers. T*. We hold that it is a duty of the government in its intercourse with foreign nations to euitivat the friendships of peace by treating with fair and equal terms, regardii g it alike dishonorable either to demand what is not right o, to submit to what is wrong. Id. For the protection and snee rss of thesevital prin iples, ami the support of the candidates nom inated by this Convention, we invite and cordially welcome the co-operation of all patriotic citizen's w.thout regard to previous political affiliations. 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. new advertisements. Carroll Masonic Institute.
