The CiiiToll County Times, CARROLLTON GA. July 12,1872. EDWIN #. SHARPE, Editor. 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. Julian Habtridge, Chairm’n 7 X 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. il*&° George Francis Train, has been lecturing recently in Savannah, lie is pronounced a genius—an enigma a Kuccsslul “frod” «fec.,.by the delighted Savamuihidas. — * West Point proposes giving g dinner some time in July to the sur viving members of the West Point Guards, and their families. - Prof. John W. Thompson, an old teacher, died near Hawkinsvilleon the 20th ultimo. ♦ «o» - —. , Ihe fourth ot July seems to have passed off quietly all over the fcfyate. fiSP’.We are indebted to lion Juo. H. liigby Lor the new tariff law as re 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.” Farmers should put up their bread corn iu the shuck, to guard it against the ravages of the weyril (Coma?mffcaled.)„ „ 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. Union Rf.ri uLicux. Cineinnatti Platform. 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 these Stales, emancipation and enfranchise men t, and to oppose any re-opening of the cm stolons set tled by tins 13th i-lth and 15th amendments to the Const ition. 'Hedemand the immediate and absolute remov al of all disabilities, imposed on acccjmt of the re bellion, which was finally subdued several years 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. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Carroll Masonic Institute.
