Greeley and Brown.
The National Democratic Conven
tion which met in Baltimore on the
9th inst. has performed its work, and
Horace Geeley and B. Gratz Brown
stand before tlie country as the Dem
ocratic nominees for the Presidency
and Vice Presidency. In the lan
j'uage ot the Savannah Advertiser,
“ we place their names at the head of
our columns, with the hope that their
support throughout the South will be
earnest and* universal. As against
Grant there is but C7ic choice for us,
and we must accept it cheerfully and
with an abiding faith in the future.
We believe that the Philosopher, un
less he be at heart false and deceitful,
and his record does not prove that lie
is, will abide by his promises made
eincchis nomination, and when elected,
as lie is sure to be, will fulfill them
courageously and honestly. Ilis re
cord as a partisan editor is tire worst
objection that can be raised against
him, but partisanship is ephemeral,
and the war which provoked its bit
terness is a tiling of the past. Tire
issues of the present day are peace
iul ones, and as the soldiers of the
South and North have shaken hands,
so let the Democracy of the South and
the Liberal Republicans join in the
combined crusade against executive
corruption and tyranny, with a de
termination to crush it at the polls in
November.
As for the political iricconcila
Ides, who can see nothing but disas
ter in the Democratic nomination of
Greeley, the -coming months, we pro
diet, will find them in the ranks,
willing workers against Grant and
his legion of office-holders and politi
cians. They cannot with honor to
themseives aid Grant by a sullen in
dilference, nor do we see how they
can stand idle while the best and
truest men oi the South are stnu---
gling in behalf of what they deem
to bo the wisest alternative under the
trying circumstaces of the hour.”
Baltimore Convention,
As the most of our readers are
ftyvare by Ibis time, the Democratic
Convention .at Baltimore, with great
enthusiasm, adopted the Cincinnati
platform on the 10th inst., by a vote
of 062 yeas, to 70 nays. Beiming.
Gray and Spalding of Georgia voted
yea. The others nay. On the same
day the ballot for candidate for Presi
dent, resulted in 686 votes for Greeley;
15 for Bayard ; 11 for Black ; and
2 for Groesbeck. B. Gratz Brown was
nominated for Vice President, receiv
ing ,?3 votes. The nomination of
Greeley and Brown was afterwards
made unanimous.
The Georgia delegation excepting
Black, Pucker, Potter and Candler*
voted for Greeley on first ballot. The
entire delegation will support the'
nomination.
•»——
Horace Greeley has no doubt
!'uid many hard things against the
South, in the heat and passion of days
that are past, and most of these ob
jectionable sentiments, have been
■well ventilated by red hot Democrats
and Grant Republicans, the latter
having discovered lately, since Ife has
nhowii no mercy to scalawags and car
petbaggers, that he is a very bad man
One of the most objectionable of all
those sentiments attributed to him,
mas the anathema against the South
ern people, said to have been
pronounced about the commencement
of the war. This anathema is in these
words : “When the rebellious traitors
are overwhelmed in the field, and,
scattered like leaves before an angry
v\ind, it must not be to return to
peaceful and contented homes. They
must find poverty at their firesides,
and see privation in the eyes of
mothers and rags of children.” This
curse has been extensively copied, by
certain Democratic papers as coming
from the New York Tribune of a cer
tain date, and Harpers Weekly, a
Grant organ, has gone so far as to
make it the subject of a caricature.—
But notwithstanding the buncombe
that has been made out of it, it now
tin us out that the whole thing is a
fabrication. The New York Tribune
ot last week says, in noticing the cari
cature of Harper’s Weekly: “We
deem k only necessary to say that
not a word of this pretended extract,
is found in the Tribune of that date,
and no such words were ever written
by Mr Greeley. We leave the pub
m* to judge of the moral quality of
iXai J >ci's’' CO,n,ilitted hy thc Messre -
Reply to “Union Republican ”
Trr otu issue of to day will he fourrd
another communication from the pen
ot “Union Republican, on the finan
cial policy of President Grant’s admin
istration.
In these days of Radical misrule
and mismanagement the terms Jman
cier and “financial policy ' have got
to be of very doubtful signification. In
the honest days of the Republic, it
used to bo said, if an officer husbanded
well the finances and resourc cs of the
country, and honestly paid its economi
cal expenditure, that he was a good fi
nancier and his financial policy was such
as the people w ere pleased with. But
now if a man goes into cifice and steals
the finances and resources of the coun -
try and enriches himself and his Iriepds
he is called a great financier and “his
financial policy such a one as Jus
friends may justly be proud of.”—
In other words a great financier,
according to Radical mean in g
is a great stealer, and financial poli
cy, the stealing policy.
It lias not been long, as we very well
recollect, since “Union Republican”
was as loud and noisy, publicly and
privately, in his praises and laudations*
of Gov. Bullock’s administration
—-as he is now of General Giants.—
Bullock was his h-e-a-u idea l of
a perfect man and Governor, accor
ding to Union Republicans, printed*
address. Bullock enriched himself
and friends out of the taxes produced
by the hard working people of the
country, bankrupted the State and then
rim away. **
Yet “Union Republican,’ publicly
and privatetly, every where approved
of and lauded Gov. Bullock’s adminis
tration, as one ot which he “was just
ly proud.” Was he ignorant of what
Gov. Bullock had done. Ife was liis
intimate friend, confident, adorer and
counsellor for two years. It iie was
ignorant and imposed on, why does
lie not come out honestly and make
acknowledgements to the people.—
They require it, or the spot must re
main indelliblc.
Well what does “Union Republi
can” know about Gen. Grant’s admin
istration and his “financial policy.” If
iie was mistaken in Gov. Bullock af
ter being-closeted with him for years,
is it not more probable that he vis-mis
taken in Grant whom lie never saw,
and from whom he is distant a thous
and miles. lie must surely make as
sertions from the supposition, that
whatever a Radical does is right.—
Well, if he does he has the proof at
hand, instance Bullock, Blodget etc.
“Union Republican” says “that in
three years and three months of Uresi
dent Grants administration the public
debt has been reduced three hundred
and thirty two millions. This is very
unsatisfactory. Why doe's lie not tell
us how much money has been 'collect
ed in this term ? and then how much
has been paid on the public debt, that
we might see whether the money has
been faithfully and economically ap
propriated ? No. Not a word of it
Avery able and distinguished states
man is now engaged in making this
estimate and 11 ic correct amount is not
known, as Gen. Grant lias failed to
furnish it, but the amount as suppos
ed that lias come into the hands of
the government in this three years and
three months, is three thousand mil
lions. Os this startling amount only
three hundred millions, in round num
bers, has been paid on the public debt,
J hat is for every ten dollars that
President Grant has collected, he has
paid one only on the public debt.—-
V» here after defraying the expendi
tures of the government has gone the
ballance of three thousand millions.—
It has been stolen in this public ser_
vice. Peculation has been winked
at, and reform in the Federal admin
istration has been refused, until the
pockets of the revenue collectors, pay
masters, and pension agents have been
filled to overflowing. This is thej-c
cord of Gen. Grant of which Union
Republican “is justly proud,” and
only because it is a Radical record.
He intimates that the Democratic
party was for repudiating the public
debt. When? Where?. Was ever
an motion so groundless ? We know
of no repudiators but thc Radicals.
1 hey forced the Southern States to
repudiate the debts- of the war —and
by legislation have repudiated all the
old debts contracted before Juuc 1365
thereby robbing the honest citizens of
millions of their hard earnings, and
now seek to repudiate the constitu
tional government of our fathers, and
on its ruins to rear up a military des
potism. Grant's administration says
“ Gmofl Republican,’' has restored the
country to peace and prosperity hith
erto unknown. We, without- the fear
of contradiction, assert that the only
fixed policy it has had, has been to
oppress and tyrauhe the Southern
it has been blind to every
thing else. If fl-e suspension of the
habeas corpus, and the arrest and con
finement of our citizens, without war
rant, in close prisons by the scores, is
what Ihi ion Republican calls peace,
we have had enough of such kind of
peace. If bayonets around the ballot
box is peace, we want no more of
such peace. It it is peace to send our
people off and coniine them in North
ern prisons, deliver us from such peace.
This is the peace that Grant has
given us during his administration
and may God soon deliver us from
him and his peace. The prosperity
that he has broght upon the country,
is like his peace, truly a sickly pros
perity. We have never witnessed
any of it in our travels, unless among*
those, who, like “Union Republican,’
have had a share in the-public cub, —
Tt is a sickly prosperity that drives its
citizens to buy their supplies on a
give a lien on the entire
crop, and at the end of the year not
make enough to discharge the lien.
Away with such unquiet peace, and
such sickly posterity. Give us again
the pence and prosperity of the consti
tutional Government that was given
to us by Washington and our fathers,
as administered by Jefferson, Madison,
Monroe, Jackson and Polk.
To restore this Government with, its
wonted peace and prosperity, the good
and the patriotic’ every where have
united, and for this cause only, Dem
ocrats and Liberal Republicans v/ork
shoulder to shoulder.
Democratic Meeting,
/A meeting of the Democrats oi
Carroll com ay was held at the Court
House on Saturday the 13th. Upon
motion of M. R. Russell, W. O. Rob
inson was called to the chair, and J.
Y. Bialoek requested to act as score
tary. The Chair called upon ivfaj.
Thomasson to explain the business of
the meeting, which ho briefly did,
and then introduced the following
resolutions :
Resolved, That the Democrat ic par
ty of Carroll county heartily approve
of the administration of our present
chief executive Gov. James Smith.—
We believe him to be holiest, capable
and patriotic.
Resolved , That Oscar Reese, It. L.
Richards and George Sharp and G. A.
Bonner be appointed delegates to the
Atlanta Convention on the 24th inst.,
for the nomination of Governor and
electors for President.
Resolved , That said delegates be
instructed to cast their votes as a unit
for Gov. James hi. Smith, and in tin
event they cannot succeed in hisnomi
nation, then to vote for either Gener
al Alfred 11. Colquitt, Judge David
Irvin, Col. Thomas Hardeman, Gen.
John B. Gordon or CYL Goo* ge N. Lcs
ter.
Resolved, That the proceedings of
this Meeting be published in the
Carroll County Turns and the At
lanta Constitution.
After the reading of 1 lie above res
obit ions J. L. Cobb E;q., moved to
strike out* the 3rd resolution, in order
that delegates might go imCrammeled.
liis motion having been lost, the res
olutions were put to vote and ad opt
ted by tile house. Oscar Rose Esq.
withdrew his name as a delegate, up
on the grounds that three delegates
from one district would be too much
representation for one district and too
little for the county.. G. A. Bonner
Esq was selected in his stead, and J.
M. Musty M. li. Russell, John S. Pen
ticost and J. W. Adamson were selec
ted alternates. Upon motion ti ic

Live issues.
If we go back to slavery issues wc
might support Grant but not Greeley;
but are not these issues dead ? Ir we*
go back to the tear, wo could not
support Grant, Greeley or Hancock,
but is not the war over? If we go
to the days of reconstruction we could
not support Greeley, Grant or Han
cock. Hancock being one of the ,
satraps, best one, we admit, but is not
reconstruction over ? If wc pass over
what is dead beyond the hope of
resurrection, and come to live issues,
to the supremacy of the civil over the
military authorities, the sacredness of
the writ of hcibeus corpus , the right of
each State to manage its own affairs,
pass its own laws, punish its own cit
i/.ens before its own Judges and ju
ries, select its own managers of elec
lions, to the purity ami economy of the
Federal government, we cannot sup
port Grant, but can vote for Greeley if
indorsed by the Baltimore Convention.
In this g-eat crisis, why go back to
the record of a candidate on slavery
issues ? Why not be content to in
quire how he stands on livingihsr.es?
Whether be h for a Republic or
an Empire, for the people or for an
Aristocracy, for the rule of the soldier
or the Sheriff and Judge and Jury.
\ These are. questions, vital questions,
and to solve them properly and satis
factorily, we, for one, are willing to
surrender the prejudices of earlier
years, and forget the injuries of the j
past. Let us have a government of
law, and we appeal so patriots to save ;
the living and those yet unborn from ;
the rule of a military tyrant — Mac* 1

Shout Collouqy.— An ex-rebel and
ex slave owner met a town politician,
who had made his boasts of having
been a life-time Democrat, who never
yet deserted the “ grand old par
ty.”
Life-time Democrat—“ And you
say you are for Greeley ? Dont you
know that lie is the man, who, more
than any other man,, helped to free
your negros ? ”
Ex-slave Owner—“ Well I believe
he did have considerable to do in
freeing the negroes. Since he is so
good at treeing folks, I want him to
free me now. If you don’t want to
be free, it’s none of my business.—

5. r i iie civil service of the Government has be

Grant Republican lalform.
< The Republican party of the United States
assembled in National Convention in the city*
|of Philadelphia, oh the sth and Gth days of
June, 1872, and declares its faith, and ap
peals to its history, again announces its posi
tion on the questions before the conn try.
1. During eleven years of supremacy, it has
accepted with giand courage, the solemn du
ties of the times. It suppressed'a gigantic
rebellion, emancipated 4.0U0,000 of slaves, de
creed the equal citizenship of at I, and estab
lished universal suffrage. Exhibiting anpar
relled magnanimity, it criminally punished
no man for political cla uses, and warmly
welcomed, aid who proved their loyally by
obeying the laws and dealing justly with
their neighbors. It liar steadily decreased
with firm ban l, the resultant disorders of «a
great war, and initiated a wise and humane
, ' y towards the Indians. The Pacific ; ..II
road md sh.#.. r vast em■- uprises have been
generally aided ands twees. fully conducted,
tl«j public lands freely given to actual settlers
immigration proujU'd an! encouraged, «n,I
a full acknowledgment of the naturalized cit
izens’ rights secured tret i fur »pean powers.
A uniform National currency lias been pro
vided, repudiation frowned down; the Nation
al cr-rA ' 1 ru stained under most extaordinary
burdei A and new bonds negotiated at lower
rate; the revenus have be; u carefully collect
ed and honestly apple <l. despite a.natal large
reductions of the rate of taxation; the public
debt has hue a reduced, owing Gen. drat it’s
Presidency, at the rate of a hundred millions
• a year; great litia-.icial crises have been avert
ed, and ptaeo and p: -oft prevail throughout
the land: menacing fore! at (Id Acuities have
been ]km •..dully r.rrd honorably-
and the lionor'and power o f the nation kept
it. high respect thro it gout the world.
• This glorio: ? record of the past is the par
ty’s best, pi Ige of the future. We believe
toe party wdi not. entrust the gou rmneiit to
any, or combination of men, composed rhief
;ly of those who resisted every step of this
.«beneflcitj in ogress.
Com; dote liberty ?.:ul exact equality, in
the, engoyment of all civil, political and pub
lic rights should he e,stabilised and effectual
ly maintaned throughout the Union, by < di
luent 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,
Creed, color or previous condition of servitude
3. The recent amendments to the yonstitu-
V.on should be cordially sustained, because
tehy are right, and not merely tolerated be
cause they are law, and should be carried out
according, to their spirit by appropriate legis-
Jation, the enforcement of which can safely
be entrusted only to ihe party that secured
those amendments.
4- The hational go Vermont shonl 1 seek to
maintain an honorable peace with all nations,
protecting its citizens everywhere, and sym
pathizing with all people v. ho strive for groat
er liberty.
5. Any system of civil service, under which
the subordinate positions of the Government
are considered rewards fur 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 p isition.
C. Yfe are opposed to further grants of pub
lic lata’s to corporations and nxonopilies, and
demand that the national domain he set
apart for free homes for the people.
7. Wo 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 ait 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 time of duty, became
disabled, without regard to the length of ser
vice or the cause of such discharge.
8- The doctrine of Great liritain and eth
er European powers concerning allegiance,
that once a subject always a subject, having
at. last through the efforts of (lie Republican
■party been abandoned, and the Aemrieanidea
of tlie individual's i igU.Uto transfer allegiance
having been accept! .1 by European' nation--,
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
abolisln .J and the way prepared fur a speedy
reduction in fife rale of postage.
10. Among the questions which press for
.attention is that wliigh concerns the relations
of capital atW labor, and the Republican par
ty recognize the duty of so shaping legisla
ting as to secure full protection and tjie am
plest field for labor—the creator of all cap
ital—the largest opportunities, and a just
share ot the mutual profits of these two
great servants of civilization.
11. We bold that Congress and toe Pres
ident have only performed an imperative du
ty, in their measures for the suppression of
violent and treasonable organizations, in cer
tain lately rebellious regions, and for the
prodection of the ballot box, and that there
fore, tlicy are entitled to thc thanks of the
nation.
12. We denounce repudiation of the pub
lie debt, in any form or di-cmise, as a nation
al crime. We witness with pride the reduc
tion of the principal of the debt, and jthe
rates of inkiest upon the balance, and conti
dently expect that our excellent national cur
rency will be perfected by a speedy resump
of specie payments.
13. Thc Republican party is mindful of
its obligations to the loyal women of
ca, for their noble devotion to the cause of
freedom. Their admission into wider fields of
usefulness, is viewed with satisfaction, and
*he honest demat’ns of any class of persons,
[Gr additional rights should be treated with
respectful consideration. .
\ 14. We heartily approve the action of Con
gross in extending urnnesfy.to those lately in
rebellion, and fraternal feeling throughout
the laud.
15. The Republican party propose to re
speet the righkq reserved by the people to
themselves, as carefully as the powers delega
ted by them to tlie State.
IC. It is the General Government to adopt
such means ns will tend to encourage Amer
ican commerce and ship building.
17. We believe that the modest patriotism,
the earnest purpose, tie; sound judgement,
the practical wisdom, the incorruptibl integ
rity and the illustrious services of Ulysses
S. Grant have commended him to the hearts
of the American people, and with him at
car head, we start today upon anew march
to victory.
