“Too Thin. ’
Some of the Grant Republicans are
sti.l,l very patch troubled, about Demo
crats sur porting so “extreme a Radi
cal as Horace Greeley.” They actual
ly have the eh route ry to attempt to
s]igw that Grant has been more con
servative and moderate than Horace.
Now we all know very well, that if
this was true, that if Greeley is really
the bitter enemy of the South they
would have us believe, that these very
men, who are now denouncing him,
w.qvld be heart and soul with him.—
Does not the past history of some of
these Grant Republicans bear us out
Jn tlqs assertion ? Have they not ever
been since the close of the war, the
firm allies ami friends, of the detainers
and persecutors of the white people of
the South. Unnatural and recreant
*"iis ot a down trodden and oppressed
land, they welcomed with open arms
these .who came to plunder us, and
with a zeal characteristic of now allies
in a cause, they joined hand in hand
with the carpet bagger and alien, in
tbeir raid upon the substance of a
poverty' stricken people. Under their
1 with these Northern parasites
fostered and encouraged by Grant
and his administration, every State of
the South lias been plundered and
several of them completely bankrupt
ed. Several years of Radical govern
ment, have added to the State debts
of the South about $275,000,000,
which is three times as much as those
debts bad accumulated in three quar
ters of a century. As long as Greelev
mistaincd them in their hellish de
rugns, lie was with them a great pian.
Bgt when 11. (f. discovered the out
mgcs that.were being perpetrated up
on ,the Southern people' by the “truly
loil,” and had th.e manliness to de
nounce the carpxd baggers an 4 scala
A '~ags tliat WvJ'e engaged in it, iu his
usual scathing way, then ids star be
gan to wane, and when finally he de
noun cod the centralizing tendency of
Grants administration, and expressed
a willingness to cease waging war up
on the Southern people, and a desire
to “clasp hands across the bloody
chasm,” then he lost; grace forever,
with these men, who are ever to he
found with the extreme enemies of
them own people.
Gentleman it is intirely ‘ too thin”
for yqu to attempt to corn inee Demo
crats that Grant has kinder feelings
towards the Southern people, than
Greeley, ll there was nothing else to
convince us, your advocacy of Grants
claims would damn him, as you have
ever been found with thos* who have
been our bitterest enemies.

Union Republican Again.
Editor Times: —l have been from
time to time offering you short arti
cles, which you have been kind enough
to a place in your paper. lex
pected you of course, to make such
comments on my articles, as you saw
proper, and let the matter oass off
without reply or rejoinder on my part,
and but for the attack on me, instead
of my article, I would not ask you in
sert this. I was aware of the fact
that you and I differed in politics, and
that you would not be likely' to agree
with me on every'point, yet 'I had a
right to suppose that you w ould at
tribute to me, the same honesty of pur
pose that you claim for yourself. Mv
remarks are founded on official facts
and figures, which you dont deny.
If they were wrong, please g’ue us the
true ones No, yon can not deny
their correctness, ami therefore dodge
the issue, by this attack on me, Imp
ing thereby to convince your readers
that I was once mistaken, or that I
willingly’- deceived the people as to
Bullock’s rascality. You say “Bullock
enriched himself and friends, out of
the taxes, produced by the hardwork
ing people of the country, bankrupted
the state, ams then ran awav. Yet
‘‘Union Republican'’ publicly and pi i
vatly everywhere, approved of, and
la,uded ; Qov. Bullock’s administration,
as one of which lie was justly proud.
Was be ignorant ot what Gov. Bui- j
lock had done? He was his intimate
friend, confident, adorer and counsel
lor, for two years. If he was igno
rant and imposed upon, why docs he ■
not come out honestly and make ne
knowledgments to the people. They
require it, or the spot will remain in
dellible”
Now, Mr. Editor, did you not know
when you penned the above, that I
had fully and publicly vindicated my
self, against,these identical charges?
Jn yo.gr paper of 10th May last, in ro
ply to a correspondent of yours pro
ferring these charges, which you seem
to have copied, I fully vindicated my
self against them, by the evidence of
such men as lion. W. P. Price, I. E-
Shumate, A. D Nunnally and ,T. C.
Fain, leading Democrats, chosen by
their party in both houses of the legis
lature, to investigate and if possible
convict Bullock of fraud, theft &c.,
and after a session of sixty one days,
examining over forty witnesses, inclu
ding leading men of all parties, in and
out of office, made their report, fail
ing to find him guilty. This was a
short time before my official connec
tion with Bullock terminated, and you
also know, that I distinctly stated, J
that if Bullock was guilty of any of
these charges, during my official in ;
tercourse with him, it was unknown |
to me, and I yet believe that they
were committed after the election
December 20, to try to buy up his j
enemies, to save himself from political
persecution, as I know that lie aban-,
doned his Republican friends about;
that time. I have not seen Bullock ,
nor had any communication with him,
since about a month after the election 1
iu December 1870, when he insisted
that he was compelled to make terms !
with his enemies to save himself
But what has Bullocks villianies to
do with the financial policy ot the
administration ? Nothing.
You admit that three hundred thou- I
sand have been paid in round numbers
on the public debt in three years and
three mouths, but that Giant fails to
show how much has beau collected.
Have you failed to see the annual re !
ports of the receipts and expenditures
of the government?
What is derived from the Tariff,
from internal revenue sales of the
public land, and all other sources ?
I presume you only read such of
your exchanges as agree with you, iu
which you will seldom find the truth
iu any matter relating to their politi- ,
cal opponents. We mu3tnot be sur
prised at your ignorance on these mat-!
ters, when you admit that you never |
saw hut one or two copies of the New j
York Tribune until you came this {
county about seven months ago. 1
would advise you since you have be
come an “ admirer” and “ adorer,” of
Mr. Greeley, to procure a file of the
Tribune, or some other reliable paper,
for the'hart three years ;md examine
them/and you will not have Jo rely
on “a very able and distinguished
statesman to ascertain the amount
collected by the government from all
sources. If Grant’s administration
has failed to show this, where will
your “very able and distinguished
statesman get his data? It not ob
tained from the official records in the
Treasury department, will his state
ments be reliable ? Now you say it is
supposed that three thousand millions
of dollars have been paid into the
hands of the Government, in three
years and three months. Now I liave
not the figures before me, and do not
know the precise amount, but will say
that if you come within a thousand
millions of the truth, I will nos vote
for Grant but like you join the Gree
ley Radicals.
But you ask what do I know about
General Grant’s administration Arc.—
I answer, I stated nothing on my own
knowledge. I made my statements
on official facts and figures, which
you fail to deny, even, much ’less con
trovert by proof, but turn on me, to
divert your readers from my facts and
figures. I can only accent tor your
reply , by your new party motto:
Anything to beat Grant.
Union Republican.
Comments on thS Above.
The irrepressible “U nion Rt .‘publi
can” is again before our readers. He
seems to be as foml of seeing ldm*
self in the newspapers as his model
governor R. B. Bullock was, v.lm
spent over $140,000 of the people’s
money, in proclamation printing,
which unneocessarv extravagance, can
:be accounted tor, only upon the hy
-1 pothesis, that he had contracted a
morbid desire to see bis name in print.
“Union Republican” dill defends the
admistratimi and “financial policy” of
Grant, ns he did that of Rufus in days
! gone by, and which be still apohrgizes
: for, not with sanding that pink of
honesty lias himself, confessed bis
guilt-, by fleeing the country. This
is carrying his devotion to “R, 1U
i we think a little farther than is nee
cessary. lie savj§ that his statement
in reference to Grants “financial poli
oy,” is founded upon official facts and
figures. He fails hoVevcr, to tell us,
how much has been collected during
Grant’s administration. This is the
information we specially requested,
and not how much the public debt
lias been reduced, for according to a
statement of Charles Sumner, in the
l nited States Senate, which was not
denied, the reduction has not been as
great as under Johnson’s administra
tion for the same time, Let us see
how much lias been collected, and the
people then can form an idea, as to its
economy, as this sems to be the sole
basis, upon which his supporters- in
this section of the country advocate
his claims to re-election. His “furm
cial jKilicy” is the only thing which
even Southern Radicals can find in
his administration of the last tom
years to recommend, and we are of
the opinion, if this is properly analy
zed, that it will be found similar to
that of Bullock’s and other Radical
governors of the South, who have ‘‘fi
nanciered” in the past four years, our
people into bankruptcy. So,much for
the “official facts and figures” which
we must still say are very unsatisfac
torv. *
“Union Republican” still main
tains that Bullock was as pure “as the
1 icicle hung from Dianas temple”, dur
' ing ais official connection with him,
j and as an evidence of this, cites us
(O the report of a commit tee appoint ,
ed to investigate his official conduct.
We know nothing of that report, but
do know that his rascality and dishon
esty has been fully established by a
committee, of the present Legislature.
We have this report on the official
conduct and “financial policy” of Ru
fus, in our possesion, and must say
that the facts there proven, and that
principally by Radical testimony, is
sufficient to bring the blush of shame
to any one, who had any intimate,
connection with him at any time.
An epitome of the main points es
tablished by this report, is published
upon our outside, and we ask all to
read it, that they may see for them
selves what kind of a man, “Union Re
publican" fraternized with for some
two years. Notwithstanding “Union
Republican’s” assertion to the contra
ry, the report shows that the principal
rascality was committed in 1868 and
69, when “Union Republican” and
“R. B.” was “cheek by jowl.” So the
tale about being driven to this ras
cality, in order to buy up his ene
mies, that he might save himself from
political persecution, will hardly go
down.
Other vulnerable points in “Union
Republican’s” communication are pre
sent ed, but we have not the space to
pay our respects to them at present.
There is a bill pending iu the
Legislature far re-districting the State,
as Georgia is entitled to nine repre
sentativos under the new apportion
ment, instead of seven as heretofore.
It is quite probable that this bill will
become a law. This district is chang
ed very little under the ball. It will
embrace Douglas, Campbell, Carroll,
Heard, Coweta, Troup, Meriwether,
II: irris, Talbot, Muscogee, Chattahoo
chee and Marion.
Greeley vs. Grant.
Col. TV, O. Tuggle of T XVU p
ty, a delegate to the late L'altm.oie
Convention, gives in the La Grange
Reporter, the following reasons why
Greeley should he supported by Dem
ocrats :
“’Hie following reasons are given for
voting for Greeley, not as the expo
nent of Democratic principles, but sim
ply to defeat Grant:
1 Such undoubted patriots as Gor
don, Benning TT right, Colquitt and
others, represented Georgia at Balti
more, and with all the light before
them, became satisfied that there was
no chance for anew ticket. No emi
nent man would allow his name used.
It was sakVthat Hancock andotherstel
egraphed their positive refusal to per
mit their names to be put in nomina
tion against Greeley, and that under
the circumstances it was best to vote
for Greeley. Does not the decision
of such men against their own de
sires deserve great consideration?
Should any man be ashamed, in any
emergency, to do the best he can ?
Is it not wise to accept the best attain
able good ?
2, Because, by co operation with
: the Liberal Republicans in voting fo v
Greeley, many Democratic Congress
men can be elected beyond a doubt,
and thus obtain either by a majori
ty in Congress, or such a minority as
will ’prevent extreme legislation. For
instance, in Pennsylvania, the Repub
licans are now agreeing to vote for
Buekalew, the Democratic candidate
for Governor, and even in Thud. Ste
yens’ District, tis said a Democrat
will probably be elected. Tins gain
in Congress, alone, would deserve
great consideration. Is it not best U>
get into power and protect ourselves?
3. Because, if Greeley should be
elected by Democratic votes, the pros
poet for representation from the South
in the administration of the govern
ment, is almost as good as if a Demo
crat bad been elected. lie cannot
administer the government without a
party to sustain him, and he must, as
he says lie will, select his counsellors
from those who elect him, irrespective
of past differences. Are we unwilling
to see Butler and Morton go out and a
Seymour or a Thurman go in ? Are
Democrats afraid to trust themselves
in the control of the government?
4. Had a Democrat been run and
even elected by a small majority, the
present Radical party would never
have permitted him, probably, to on
lev the White House. It is quite dif
ferent with Greeley, for lie not only
will prevent, the cry being made of
rebel, but, if. elected, the North will
see him safely inaugurated.
5. The platform, though seriously
object'oabie to us, is far better than
Grant’s platform. The Cincinnati
platform acknowledges that the pen
j dtiluni of revolution lias swung too far
; towards Centralism, and that, it
! should now swing back to Constitu
, tionalism—to local self-government.
: This is the idea on which the war was
fought, and it is wonderful that the
North should confess that their theory,
i though successful in war, threatens
j destruction in peace. Though de
j touted in war, are we not willing to
| conquer in peace ? Universal amnes
ty, restoration of civil over military
power and respect for habeas corpus
and other features of the platform,
command the admiration of all, as j
compared to the doctrines of hate in
culcated at Philadelphia, and the j
“man on horseback to enforce that |
doctrine with bitter malignity, with :
aid by Ids relatives, bis gift bearing :
friends, and such angels of mercy as j
Morton, Oonkling and Butler.
G., But Greeley has fathered the
doctrines *d ruined us, has abused us
a life tir freed the negroes, etc. —
Yes, tls true, yet are we not even as
to abuse, and had wc succeeded in the
war we would have lathered some
doctrines tliat would have ruined the
other end of the Union; and, why
should not Greeley offset his evil work
in freeing the negroes, by being al
lowed to free the white folks? What
better use can we put him to than to
undo his own work or atone for it?—
What a fine chance to be a nation of
Christians—by loving ora* enemv!
7. Give the devil his due, and. Gree
ley, tis hoped is no worse; and, it
must be said, he signed Mr. Davis'
bond in the face of a frowning and
threatening nation, lost a seat in the
United States Senate, and $39,090
out of his own purse; pronounced
first and foremost m the whole North
for universal amnesty, when his victo
rious party opposed it, and he never
was in favor of emancipating the ne
groes without paying for them. He
has been an open foe. he is now our
promised friend. If he can forgive
us, can we not forgive him? No ordi
nary man could have played his part.
8. Besides, can any man who voted
for Seymour, the man who reinforced
Meade at Gettysburg, saved the North
and crushed the South; caq any man
who voted tor Blair, the Yankee sol
dier, who went through Georgia with
a sword in one hand, driving defense
less woman and orphan children from
their homes; and then, with a torch
in the other hands, giving their homes
to the demon of fire. How can such
a man, after voting for those who
fought us in the field refuse to vote
for Greeley, because lie fought us
with his pen ? After their throats
m PfiidrgeA hy swallowing Sey*
liiottr and 11]air, can't they take
Greeley ii*-? After gulping down two
buzzards, can’t they go one crow?
0. The movement promises to he a
success, and substantial relief is confi
dently expected for our beloved South;
and every patriot can target and sub
mit his individual judgment to tlie
decision of his own National Convert
tion.
In 1868, the popular vote was for
Grant, 3,Q13,188; and for Seymour, 2,-
7Q3, GOD, showing a majority in the
whole Union, of 309,588 for Grant.—
Now, suppose that Greeley can get 5f
per cent, of the Republican vote cast
for Grant in 1868, and that the Demo
crats will consent to vote solidly for
him, then the figures will stand,
3,013,188, minus 5.1 per ct, or, 165,
725, equal to 2,847,-163 for; and for
Greeley, the Democratic vote of 2,-
703,600 plus per cent, or 165,725,
equal to 2,808.325, showing a major
ity of the popular vote, of 21,862 for
Greeley. The least hopeful of Gree
ley's friends, say he will carry 15 per
cent., or 451,978 Republican votes,
and the Democratic vote, then, Gree
ley will beat Grant 591,368, it the
vote should stand as in 1868.
Sin;}; are the chances of success
and it would seem that after the en
dorsement at Balt'acre, thousands of
Republicans would c >mo over to Gree
ley who were afraid to do so before.
So, with that vast crowd in all parties,
who will go for the man who can ap
parently- win t And tire Republi
cans state that they have assurances
from such men as Ranks and Sumner,
and many others, that they will join
the. movement to defeat Grant.
Grant’s party thinks the great bat
tle will be in Pennsylvania, and ow
ing to the weakness of Ilartranft, the
Radical candidate, and the feud be
tween Forney and Cameron, and the
combination between the Democrats
and the Liberal Republicans, it seems
certain, according to all reasonable cs
timates, that Ruckalew will be elected
in October by 20,000 majority at
least ; and same for Greeley in No
vember. New York will <?ofor Gree
ley by 75,000, Hoffman says, and out
of the five gVeat States, New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana and
| Ohio, Greeley counts on at least three
j if not ail.
These estimates, of course, may
prove wrong, but, they certainly in
i dicate how the current is running.
One Congressman in thcNorth, stated
to the writer that he was elected by
300 majority ami his district would
go lor Greeley by 2,0 )0, ami men
tioned by name, many Republican
office-holders who were forGieoley.
So with others.
19. Another reason which should
influence Democrats is, that the gal
| lant Senator Bayard, of Delaware,
who has broken down in the public
service defending the lew remaining
rights of the South; who labored day
and night with' the noble Yoorhoes,
to break the force of the slandering
Ku Ivlux report, and who contended
to the last at Baltimore, side by side
Georgia,, for the adoption of a demo
cratic platform, now he consents to
yield and vote for Greeley. Sy with
Voorhees :he now pronounces for j
Greeley, according to the statement of
Mr. I lamia, his law partner. Who
can have been more opposed to Grce
ley than those three great statesmen
and true life long Democrats ; and,
if they can submit, who cannot? Is
any Georgian ashamed to vote with'
Seymour, Pendleton, Thurman, lien j
dricks, Hoffman Randolph, Bayard
and Voorhees ? Is any soldier inGeor
gia humiliated hy the thought that lie j
is asked to vote with Colquitt, with '
Benning, with John B. Gordon, and ,
other compatriots ? Such men lire
for taking Greeley as the best that
can he done, to break down centralism
relieve their beloved country from op- !
pression, and restore her to her equal
rights under the Constitution.
The issue is Greeley or Grant, and
from all the facts before the writer,
ho prefers Greeley. This is" our oelv
chance—let ns make the most of it.
Your obedient servant,
W. O. Tuggle.

Grant Republican Platform.
The Republican parly of the United States
assembled in National Convention in the city
ot Philadelphia, on the slh and Gth days of
June, 1872, and declares its faith, and ap
peals to its history, again announces its posi
tron on the questions before the country.
i. During eleven years of supremacy it has
accepted with grand courage, tin* solemn du
pes of the times. It suppressed a gigantic
rebellion, emancipated I.uuO.(XX) of slaves, de
creed the equal of all, and estab
h-hed umversal suffrage. Exhibiting unpar
odied Magnanimity, it criminally punished
no man tor political otfensi s, and warmly
welcomed all who proved their loyalty by
obeying the laws and dealing justly with
their neighbors, it lias steadily decreased
with lirm haul, the resultant disorders of a
great war, and initiated a wise and humane
policy towards the Indians. The Pacific rail
read and 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-
izeus’ rights secured iroui European powers.
A uni£tinn National ctu i'ciu y has been i>ro
vided, repudiation frowned down; the Nation
al credit sustained mu.l< r iwost extaoidinary
burdens, and new bonds negotiated at lower
rate; the revenus have been carefully collect
ed and honestly appli and, despite annual large
reductions of the rate of taxation; the public
debt lias been reduced, during Gen. Grains
Presidency, at the rate of a hundred millions
a year; great financial crises have been avert
. eu, and peace and plenty prevail throughout
| the lamp menacing' foreign difficulties have
i been jieacefully and honorably composed
and tlie honor and power of the nation kept
I iu high respect througout tlie would.
| Tliis glorious record of the past is the par
ity's best 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
lieneflejpl progress.
2. Complete liberty and exact equality, in
the engoyment of ali civil, political and pub
lic rights should be estalilised and effectual
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 discriinina
i tion in respect to citizens, by reason of race,
' creed, color or previous condition of servitude
8. The recent amendments to the const;iu
j tion should be cordially sustained, because
j tehy are right, and not merely tolerated be
j cause they are law, audshoul 1 be carried out
! according to their spirit by appropriate lcgis
| lation, the enforcement of which ean safely
j be entrusted only to the party that secured
those amendments. _ •
4- The hational goverment should seek to
maintain an honorable peace with all nations,
| protecting its citizens every where, and sym
! pathizing with ali people who strive for great
I 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
j apart for free homes for the people.
7. "*Ve hold in umlytr.g honor the soldiers
I and sailors, whose valor saved the Union.
I Their pensions are a sacked debt or the nation
. aud the widows and orphans of those who
| died for tlwur country, are entitled to the
! care of an additional lei islation, and will ex
j tend the bounty of the government to all our
. soldiers sailors who were honorably discharg
; ed, an.l who, in the time of duty, became
! disabled, without regard to the length of ser
t vice or the cause of such discharge.
8’- The doctrine of Groat Britain and oth
! er European powers concerning allowance,
! that once a subject always a subject, having
;at last through'the efforts of the Republican
party been abandoned, and the Aemncan idea
| of the iudividnal’s right to transfer allegiance
j havina been accepted by European nations,
it is the duty of opr government to guard
with jealous care the rights of adopt
ed citizens, against che assumption of unau
thorized claims, by their former governments,
atid we urge continual careful encourage
ment and protection of voluntary immigration
i). The franking privilege ought to. be
abolished and the way prepared for a speedy
reduction in the rattMif postage,
10. Among the questions which press for
atteutioa is that which concerns the relations
of capital and labor, and the Republican pat
ty recognize the duty of so shaping legisla
tion as to secure lull protection and the am
plest field for labor—the creator of ail cap
ital—the largest opportunities, and a just
share of the mutual profits of these two
great servants Os civilization.
11. We hold that Congress and tne 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
protection of tlie ballot
arc eohlled to the ttLw U
nation. og
