Gratz Brown, OF M T SSOCRI FOR GOVERNOR James M. Smith, OF MUSCOGEE. “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.

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.

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.

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).
