Call for State Democratic Con
vention.
Atlanta, Ga., Jung 26, 1872.
At a meeting of Hie Executive
Commitee of the State, lreld this Jav,
i.t was resolved, that a Convention of
the Democratic parly be held in (lie
city of Atlanta, on Wednesday, the
24th day of July next, at 12 m., in the
Capitol building in Atlanta, for the
purpose [of nominating an electoral
ticket, and a candidate for Governor.
Counties will be entitled to the usual
representation.

v- State Rights and United States
Rights.”
The article upon the above subject
contains some statements, which re
quires a passing notice at our hands.
In speaking of the status of the
States before delegating any of their
powers to the United States, the state
ment is made that the thirteen colo
uies'after the successful termination of
the war for independence, were ac
knowledged in the treaty with Great
Britain, “ not as thirteen separate na
tions or sovereignties, blit as one gov.
eminent, nation or sovereignty, com
posed of thirteen municipalities call
ed States.” Now this assertion, (un
intentionally or ignorantly we charit
ably suppose,) falsifies history. Be
low we publish the first article of the
treaty with Great Brittain, which
clearly states that the States were ac
knowledged as sovereign and, frijc
dependent.
“IBs Brit annic Majesty acknowl
edges the said United States, viz :
New Hampshire, Massaclmsetts-Bay
«fcc., (mentioning all by name) to be
free, sovereign and independent
States; that lie treats with - them as
such, and for himself, his heirs and
successors; relinquishes all claims to
the government property, and territo
rial rights of the same, and every part
thereof.”
The fifth article of the treaty, whjcb
is too long to publish here, clearly
shows that the States, understood it
as a separate recognition of each one
of them as free, sovereign and inde
pendent.
This Sovereignty has never been par
ted with, by the States. It was not
given up, under the articles of confed
eration, or the first constitution, as it
distinctly stated it was retained.—
Neither was it given up under the
second or present constitution, as the
character of the Union, as is admitted
by all writers upon this subject, was
not changed, by that constitution.
As will be perceived the argument
of “Union Republican” falls to the
ground, when the false premises upon
which it is made is exposed. It can
be easily proved by history that this
government was founded as a govern
ment oi States, and not as a nation. The
party to which the gentleman belongs
is moving heaven and earth to make
it a consolidated despotism. To do
this, they have dared to go outside of
the Constitution, as is admitted by
(heir leaders, and under pica of pro
tecting the people, have invaded
States, placed them under military
rule, suspended the writ of habeas eor
pus, a right that was wrested from ty
rants alter centuries of warfare, and
have taken prisoners from the State
Courts, where they were to be tried
for offences committed against the
State, and after a drumhead trial bv
United States authorities, sentenced
them to imprisonment for years in a
distant clime.
This is the way the Grant Repnbli
can party propose to respect the rights
of the people and States, if allowed
to continue in power. But the peo
pie are becoming fully aroused to
tiieir usurpations, and unless we are
very much mistaken .in the signs of
the times, the would be minions of
despotism, will be hurled from power,
where they are sacrilegiously engaged
in sucking the lifeblood out of The
Constitution and Union.
State Convention. —The State Con
' ention which met* on the 2Gili ultimo,
sent uninstructed* delegates to Ilalti
more. The majority of the delegates,
we believe, however, will take Greeley
if necessary.

pently amended by Congress.
—— t-g -
she Supreme Court of Georgia,
is now in session in Atlantyu
The Governor-ship.
The Democratic Convention tor
nominating a candidate for Governor,
as will be seen elsewhere, meets in
Atlanta on the 24th inst. Considera
ble interest is already being manifes
ted in the Gubcrnatoral contest, and
the. friends of aspiring gentleman,
who imagine they have the necessary
qualifications for the chief executive
of Georgia, are i\s busy a,s beavers, it
is reported, in behalf of their respec
tive favorites, expecting no doubt to
receive some small share of the loaves
and fishes, for what they would have
the public believe, their patriotic and,
disinterested efforts.
The most prominent names mention
ed so far, in connection with the nom
ination, are those of the present incum
bent, Gov. Smith, and Mayor James
of Atlanta- James Has but recent
ly announced his. candidature, which
he says, he has been induced to do at
the solicitation of friends in all parts
of the State. Neither one of these
gentleman are our choice. We would
much rather see, such a man as
John B. Gordon, Alfred 11. Cok
quitt, Henry L Beniiing, or Thomas
Hardeman put in nomination.—
These gentlemen are all true and
tried sons oi Georgia, and have all
the necessary qualifications for the
governorship. If'however, we were
compelled to choose between Smith
and James, we would take the former
every time, as there is a certain part
of Janies war record, if all accounts
be true, that we do not exactly fancy.
When there are so many true sons of
the soil, whose every sentiment is de
votion to their native State, and whose
every way are much
superior to those of James, we do not
see why the Democratic party should
SO far stultify itself, as to nomiualu a
man for governor, who in the days
that tried men’s, souls, was among the
enemies of Georgia accumulating
money.
Baltimore Convention.
No definite news from Baltimore,
up to the time of our last mail, Wed
nesday. It is generally admitted that
the Convention, will either nominate
or endorse Greeley, as a dernier resort.
This is the general sentiment of the
Convention. The Georgia delegates
ai e reported in favor of Greeley. Ran
dolph of Virginia, a grandson of
Thomas Jefferson was made temporary,
and Ex- Senator Doolittle* permanent
Chairman.
Georgia Republicans,
The following from a letter of If
V. Redtield, a correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, a Republican
Paper, is pretty heavy upon. Georgia
Republicans.
“The Republican party in Georgia
is of no account. It is nine parts ig
norance and one part rascality. There
is not intelligence enough in the par
ty of the whole State to support a res
pectable local’ newspaper. The New
Era, of this city,, died as soon as the
State passed into Democratic hands
and the official pap was withdrawn.
The plain truth is there is not
enough intelligence in the Republi
can party in the State to rule with
common decency, even if in power.
It has been given a fair test and
failed miserably. The party here is
so weighed down with ignorance,
stupidity‘amlrascality, that it ought
never to have been in power, and now
that it is out, the interest of the State
will be best served by keeping it out.
It is a sad commentary on Southern
Republican rule that after a three
years trial in Georgia, the most nota
ble achievement was the stealing of
three millions of dollars.”
Another Prominent Journal Bolts.
—The Syracne Standard, edited by
General 11. A, Barnum, heretofore a
staunch republican journal refuses to
support Grant and Wilson :
‘lf at any time we Rave inti',dated
that, under any circumstances, we
would support General Grant for
President, it ha» been upon the im
pression that some of his derelictions
were susceptible of explanation, and
that he woufil, be. placed upon, a plat
form, generous in its inspiration and
broad in its scope. Now that his.
most gifted and ardent champions are
obliged to confess the indictments
against him sustained, and the plat
form upon which he stands fails of
tlie liberal standard, of peace and good,
will, whose adoption alone eompre
bends the prosperity of the republic
and the supremacy of liberty and law,
we should be without excuse if we
sustained him. it needs but few words
to declare our opposition to the re-el
ection of President Grant under the
Unhappy auspices of the Philadelphia
Convention. Thus conscientiously
believing, jrrond as evert)? the achieve
ments of the republican party, devo
ted as ever to, the principles upon
which it was founded and which have
been stricken to the earth by those
whom an untoward fate has lifted in
to its leadership, and deeply rygrgt
ting the necessity which is upon us.
we repudiate the action of the Con
mention and decline to support the
nominee.”

State Rights a,nd United States
Rights.
No principle involved in our form
of government perhaps, has been at
tended with more difficulty with states
man and politicians, than a correct so
lution of the above. It involves Ist.
The status of the States before dele
gating any of her powers to the
United States. 2d. What powers
w ere delegated* and w bat were reserv
ed to the States respectively or to the
people. It is evident that “all powers
not delegated to the United States,
by this Constitution, nor prohibited to
the States are reserved to the States
respectively, or to the people,”
In answering the first question, we
assume that the States were originally
colonies of Great Britain, having no
sovereignty or nationality, that on the
4th of July 1776, they met by their
chosen delegates, and declared, for in
dependence. After fighting about
two years to maintain and enforce this
declaration, it was deemed absolutely
necessary to success, to enter into
“ Articles, of Confederation and per
pctual Union," styled the United
States of America, adopted July 9,.
1778 and finally ratified by Maryland,
the last State March 1, 1781. Al
though the articles provide that the
States Should retain their sovereignty
every imaginable attribute of sovereign
ty is parted with by the States, either
by delegating the same to the United
States, or inhibitions to the States.—
The States are prohibited from doing
any act or thing national in its char
acter, and every such power was dele,
gated to “the United States in Con
gress. assembled,” and the compact
further says. “ The Union shall be per
petual,”
Under these articles out fore fa
thers prosecuted the war to a success
ful termination, and Great Britain,
with the other civilized powers a,c
knowledged our independence, not
as thirteen separate nations, or sov
ereign ties, but as one government,, na
tion, or sovereignty, styled “The
United States of America " composed
of thirteen municipalities called States,
Although mentioned by name they
were not recognized singly as inde
pendent of each other, or ot the na
tions of the earth, but.the United
States, or if you please, the States as
United, were thus a free and indepen
dent nation*
Then what powers are reserved, to
States; or what are “State rights.”
We answer the right to regulate In
law, their our internal matters as a.
municipality, have two Senators and
their quota of Representatives in Con
gress, declare what sliall be a crime
and punish the same, provide for the
collection of debts, internal improve
ments within the states, maintain a
state government &c., &c. All of
which must be done subject to, and
in subordination to the Constitution of
the United States, and the laws of
Congress made in pursuance thereof.
United States rights consist in po.w
ers derived front the States respective
ly and the people, not the peoples of
the several States, but to the “people
of the United States,” as used in the
preamble to the Constitution. The
people, in whom absolute sovereignty
alone rests, made the Constitution,
and the government ordained and
established by it, and they formed it
for a purpose, viz; To form amove pet
feet Union, establish justice, insure do
mestic tranquility, provide for the
common defence, promote their well
fare, and secure the blessings of liber
ty to themselves and tl*'ir posterity,
and whenever the government fails
to answer these ends, in the opinion
ot the people, they have a right to
change it by amendments to the Con
stitution, and not the States, for no
such rights are reserved to the States,
but to llie people. The States have
no right to revolution, this right be
longs to the people. Protection to
person and property is the paramount
duty of Government, hence it is the
duty of the general government, un
der our system, to afford protection to
every citizen of the United States,
whenever and wlterevcr his rights are
invaded, either by a foreign power
any citizen or subject thereof or by
the constituted local authorities, by
violence ot conspirator or otherwlie
Article 16 of the Republican plat
form at Philadelphia recognizes this,
doctrine, which reads thus.
The Republican party propose to
respect the rights reserved by the peo
ple to themselves as carefully as the
1 lowers delegated by them to the
States. More anon.

He recognize the equality of.all men before the
jaw. aud bold that is the duty of the government in
its dealings with the people to mete out equal and
exact justice to all of whatever nativily, race, col
or or persuasion, religious or poitical.
2. tie pledge ourselves to maintain tileunion of

and to oppose any re-opening of the cm stolons set

al of all disabilities, imposed on acccjmt of the re

ago, believing that universal amnesty will result
in complete pacification iu all sections of the couu
try.
4. Social self-government with impartial suffrage,
will guard the rights of sjl citizens more aeowirelv
than any centralized power. The people and the
public welfare require the supremacy of the civil
over the military authority, and freedom of person
under the protection of the liabeus corpus, lie
demand for the individual the largest libertr, con
sistent with public order, for the State eels-gov.
ertimenf, ana for the nation a return to the meth
ods of peace, and pig constitutional limitations of
power.
5. The civil service of the Government has - be
come a mere instrument of party tyranny and per
sonal and-an object of "selfish greed.—
It if a scandal and ieproach upon free institutions
and breeds a demoralization dangerous to the per
petuitv of republican government
t>. He therefore regard a thorough reform Qf the
most pressing necessities of the hour: that hones
ty capacity and fidelity constitute the only valid
claims to public employment; that the office of the
Governm.eut, cease to be a matter of arbitrary fav
oritism aud patronage, aud that public station be
come agaiu a post of honor. To this end it is im
lucratively required that uo Piesiaent shall boa
candidate forre-clee^iou.
t He demand a system of Federal taxation,
which shall not unneceessarily interfere with tlu>
industry ot the people, which shall provide the
means necessary to pay the expenses oft he Govern
ment economically administered, the pulsions, 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 Concessional districts and ttie decision of
Congress thereon, wholly free of Executive inter
ference or dictation.
8. The public credit must bn securely maintain
ed. and we denounce repudiation in every fuA.i aud
guise.
9. v. speedy return to specie payments is deman
ded, alike, by the highest consideration# of com
mercia! morality and honest Government.
10. We temember with gratitude the heroism
anti sacrifices of tUo soldiers and sailors of t-he Re
public, [and no act of ours shall ever detract from
their patriotism
1 1 . IVe are opposed to all further grants of lands
to railroads or other corporations. The public do
main shoßld.be held sacred to actual settlers,
Pi. Wo hold that it is a duty of the government
iu its intercourse wirh foreign nations to cultivat
the friendships of peace by treating with fair and
equal terms, regardii g ititlike dishonorable either
to demand what is not right or to submit to what
is wrong.
13. For the protection.and success of those vital
priu iples, and Hie snpport of the can chi da res nom
inated by this Convention, we invite aud cordially
welcome the co-operation of all patriotic citizens
without regard to previous political aililiatious.
Grant Republican Platform.
The Republican party of the United States
assembled in National Convention in the city
of Philadelphia, on the slh and 6th 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 4,000,000 of slaves, de
creed the equal citizenship of a,U, and estab
lished universal suffrage. .Exhibiting tvnpar
. relied magnanimity, it criminally punished
no man fur political offenses, 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 g
great war, and initiated a wise and humane
policy towards the Indian?. The Pacific rail
road Mid 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 from 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 liave been carefully collect
ed and honestly applied, despite*animal 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
beeig peacefully and honorably composed
and the honor and power of the nation kept
in high respect througout the world.
This glorious recoul 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 ali civil, political and pub
lic rights should be ecdal /ised and efieeiucJ
ly maintaned throughout the Union, by effi
cient and appropriate State and Federal leg
islation, Neither the law nor its administra
tion should animate any discrimina
tion in respect to citizens, by reason of race,,
ejeed, color or previous condition of servitude
8. The recent amendments to the constitu
tion should be. cordially sustained, because
telly are right, and not merely tolerated be
cause they are law, and shoul l be carried out
according to their spirit by appropriate legis
lation. t!n> < u-forcoment of which ean safely
be entrusted only to the party that secured
those amendments.
4- The 'national goverment should seek to
maintain, an honorable peace with all nations,
protecting its citizens every where, 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,
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.
6. We 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. We hold in undying honor the soldiers j
and sailors, whose valor saved the Union.
Their pensions are a saced debt es the nation
-and the widows and orphans of those who
died for they 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 Imnorably disfcharg
ed, and, wlto, in. the tiny of duty, became
disabled, without regard to t he length of ser
vice or 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, baying
at last through the efforts oft lie Republican
party been abandoned, and the Aemrican idea
of the individual's right to transfer allegiance
having been accepted by European nations,
it is tlie duty of our government to guard
with jealous care the lights of adopt
ed citizens, against the assumption of unau
' thofized claims, be their former governments,
and we urge continual careful encourage
ment and protection of voluntary immigration
'.). The franking privilege ought to be
abolished and the way prep; rod for u 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, ami- the Republican par
ty recognize the duly of so shaping legisla
tion as to secure lull protection and the am
plest field 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. Wc hold that Congress and the Pres
ident have only performed an impe ative du
ty. in their measures fug the suppression of
violent and tr< asmalde organizations, in cer
tain lately rebellions regions, and for the
protection ol the ballot box, and that there
lore, they are entitled to the thanks of the
nation.
12. We denounce rc-pudkition of tlie pub
lie debt, in auv form or disguise, as a nation
al crime. \Ve witiuss with pride the redue
tion of the principal of the debt 4 , and
rates of inteiest upon the balance, and conti
dently expect that oar excellent national cur j
reney will be perfected by a speedy icsiimp
of specie payments.
13. r l1)e Repubjicgn party is mindful of
its obligations to the loyal women of gfmen
ca, for their noble devotion to the cause of
freedom. Their admission in,to, wider fields of
usefulness, is viewed with satisfaction, and
the honest domains of any class of persons,
f,,r additional rights should be treated with
respect!ul consideration.
14. We heartily approve the action of Con
gress in extending amnesty to those lately in
rebellion, and fraternal Scuing throughout
the land.
15. The Republican party propose to re
spect the rights, reserved by the people to
themselves, as carefully as the powers delega
ted by them to the State.
IG.It is the Genoral Government to adopt
such means as will tend to encourage Affier
jean commerce and ship building.
17. We believe that the modest patriotism,
the earnest purpose, the sound judgement,
the practical wisdom, flic Lacorruptibl integ
rity and tlie illustrious services of Ulysses
S. (Jrant have commended him "to the hearts
of the American people, and with him at
our head, we start today upon anew march
to victory.
