BRIDSE OVER THE BLOODY CHASM.
•Fourthly, Horace Greeley proposes
to shake hands as you know across the
bloody chasm. Well now I propose
Ao talk with you a little about this
shaking of hands. If I understand
what Mr. Greeley proposes, and I
have no doubt about it, by this shak
ing of bauds viz : the meeting upon
grounds of mutual respect, I am will
ing to shake hands. But General
Grant’s mouth piece, Mr. Boutwell
“protests against” this shaking of
hands across the chasm and wants “it
tilled up”—and he tells when it is to
be tilled up. When we all get so
sorry for our sins, that we will not
only abide by what has been done
until rectified peacefully; but confess
the outrages upon us are all right and
be thankful, not only receive the
sinkings of the rod uncomplainingly'
but graciously exclaim well done good
and faithful servants. It will be tilled
up Mr. 1 ioutwell thinks, when we all
get loyal and we will all get loyal
when we get ready to vote for Gener
al Grant—but we must vote for him
because we love him. We must not
take him like the boy did the dinner
to which lie was invited. Said his
host to him, “My friend, this meat
you see in this dish is dog, and it is
all I have for dinner ; shall I help
you to a piece of the dog ?” “Well,”
said the boy, “if I’m obliged to eat
dog, I can do it; but I tell you now
I’m not a hankeriu after it.” We
must not only take Grant and the
Radical party to get the chasm Hlled
up, but we must take them like my
North Carolina soldier-friend Bill’s
sweetheart took him, when she wrote
him to come along home and get
married. We must bo like she said
she was, ‘a ready, a willin and a await
in’’ tor them. That’s the way to till
up the chasm. I think I see.
MR BOUTWEIX FILLING IT UP
now—filling it like his master fills
Albany prisons—filling it like the
Russians filled the ditch at Sweidwitz
boit with the bodies of its victims,
except in this case we are to be the
victims—filling it with the sacred writ
of habeas corpus— fill lug it with the
rights of the States, local self-govern
meat and the Constitution—tilling it
as Jeffries Hlled the dungeons and
graves of England—filling it with
condemned innocence by the wicked
enforcement of the Ku-Klux laws
ill rough bederal Judges and packed
and perjured jurprs, and then like the
witche’s Cauldron.
“Mix a little white man’s blood,
Then the chasm is firm and good,”
Well; I believe I would prefer .that
THE CIIASM SHALL REMAIN OPEN
a while rather than fill it up in that
way, and just let us shake hands across
as Mr.Greeley,suggests.
Now, I understand Mr. Greeley’s
idea of shaking hands, as I said before
to boa meeting upon grounds of mu
tual respect. Well, if lie means that,
and who doubts it,
I M WILLING TO SHAKE HANDS.
Im willing that the Southern cause
and the Northern cause should each
stand upon its merits. I’m willing
that the soldiers who sustained each
shall be treated by the other, with the
.deference due a sincere, an hopest
and a brave foe. lam willing that
the Northern soldiers who backed the
convictions of his mind and his heart
with his life, shall he regarded as a
hero; lmt I claim a no less exalted po
sition for the Confederate soldier. Ts
he means this, then I am readv to
to shake hands; but it he means what
Boutwell means by filling up the
chasm, which he cannot—which he
does not mean—that we are affect
sorrow for treason, so called, then I
am unwilling to shake hands. When
ever Southern men begin that, we
shall lose, as we ought, our own self
respect —the only stay of our man
hood and hope of the country—and
the respect of the North and of the
world. Whenever Southern tongues
begin to talk disparagingly of our
.cause it is time for Southern tongues
to be still. Whenever a traitor’s blush
begins to mantle Southern cheeks—
.whenever Southern hearts send the
'blood to Southern faces to paint aught
else there than the glow of pride it
feels for Southern achievments, it is
time for these hearts to cease their
pulsations. I deplore—l know of
nothing iu this life which I more de
plore than that any Southern n.an
should feel it necessary or just to
speak of our past as in any degree dis
honorable or inglorious.
Whenever that feeling becomes
general amongst us, it is time for us
all to die. Spirit of Lee and cf Jack
son save us from such a calamity !
liather let us continue to feel like
Mark Anthony over the dead body of
Ciesar, that our hearts are there in' the
coffin with our dead. And unlike
Anthony, let ua.flraw.thc mantle over
these gashes thus cut in tfie body of
our .postrate South, and thus save the
shock -to the sensibilities of our peo
ple.
Greeley’s democratic advisors.
In the next place, I prefer the ad
visors who are likely to surround Dir.
Greeley, to those who wojknow will con
trol General Grant. I understand Mr.
Greeley-to be pledged to a recogni
tion of the claims of the Democratic
party in the appointment of his Cabi
net and in other appointments.
[General Gordon here gave his
reasons for this belief, and among
other tilings, related a conversation
had in con|Kiny with Southern gentle
men, with Mr. Greeley upon this sub
ject. This conversation, the General
stated, had aided in removing one of
his objection; to voting for .Sir. Gree
ikyj
Now, as to platforms. I’m not
going to detain you -to talk much
about
PLATFORMS.
I am trying to give briefly and lion
estly my reasons for preferring Gree
ley to Gi ant, and the reasons which I
think ought to influence every South
ern man to prefer him.; and I want
you to keep steadily in view the fact
that Grant or Greeley is to be Presi
dent inevitably. There are some
tilings in Mr. Greeley s platform which
I cannot indorse. There are some
tilings in it that arg good—many
that are Democratic. It pledges
AN HONEST ADMINISTRATION.
\\ ell, it is true we are not so much
interested in honest administrations
as we once were, for they have not
left much amongst us to steal.—
[Laughter.] But we prefer honestv
as a sentiment, and Jefferson said “the
whole art of government consists in
the art of being honest,” and Jefferson
is good authority. Everybody says
Horace Greeley is honest and Geor
gians are likely to appreciate that.
Another plank is the demand that
the Federal power shall be restrained
within the bounds of the Constitution
Old Carroll, of Carrollton, said “in a
free government the exercise of arbi
trary power by the Executive must not
and will not be endured.” Weliave en
dured it under Grant and have lost
our liberties. We could not, the
Northern people would not resist, and
liberty, as our fathers understood lib
erty, is lost. Arbitrary power by an
Executive and liberty can not live
in the same atmosphere. Old Carroll
saw this—our fathers saw this—and
at last some of the wisest and most pa
triotic of Grant’s for supporters see it,
and they sound the alarm—they break
the chains that bound them to this
Executive and the party which sus
tained him, and they demand, with
old Carroll, that “arbitrary power”
shall no longer be endured
I LOVE LIBERTY: I II ATE TYRANNY ; I
SHALL STRIKE WITH ANYBODY EOR THE
FORMER.
I shall strike with anybody to put
down the latter. The “restraints” are
what we want—the restraints of the
Constitution. Webster said “the
Constitution is the sheet anchor of
our liberties. Old Hickory sai l “it
is our defense in wai. and the source
of our prosperity in peace.” I under
stand the men who made Greeley’s
platform to propose to restore this
“sheet anchor” to the drifting ship, or
at least a part of it. Grant and his
party have broken it and thrown it
away. I am tor those who would restore
it.
WHOEVER WILL RESTORE- THE CONSTI
TUTION IS FOR YOUR RIGHTS.
A\ boever lie or they may have
been, if now for the Constitution they
are your friends. And if by reason of
former hostility to you, and associa
tion with these breakers of the Con
stitution they can now wage a more
successful war against them, don’t let
that former hostility prevent our sup
porting them in the effort. But I
can t stop to talk about this, I’m only
trying to show that this is better
than
grant’s platform.
Now what is Grant’s ? I shall not
tax you to read if. What matters it
to you or the country what platform
he stands upon ? Were it ever so un
objectionable it could not restrain him
or his supporters. An Executive and
a party who cannot be restrained by
the platform on which this govern
meat rests—-the platform of the Con
stitution—which he and they were
sworn to observe and protect, can
scarcely be rertra’ned by one, which
he is not sworn to observe. Suffice it to
say that both he and his platform tell
us thathis is to be as ,•
and -from
SUCH A FUTURE.
(I presume we can all join in the
prayer) “Good Lord deliver us.” We
all know what that past has been—we
all have seen it—we all have felt it.—
Have you forgotton it? Ask South
Carolina what it was—what it still is?
Oil! that it were the past with her!
Ask the thousands of her sons, scater
ed at this hour from one end ot this
country to the other.
DRIVEN BY BAYONETS FROM HOME* AND
EMPLOYMENT.
Ask the grave and reverend profes
sor, arrested by soldiers at the head
of his classes, upon the affidavit of a
negro and in defiance of the sword
statements, contradicting it, of forty
of South Carolina’s most virtuous
daughters, arrested and dragged to
prison and denied the sacred right of
habeas corpus, guaranteed to every
citizen, whether guilty or innocent.—
But I will not harrow up your feel
ings by a recital of
THESE HORRORS
the depth of whose infamy no tongue
couhl describe. I will not insult you
by supposing that any Georgian can
vpte to perpetuate such a reign in a
sister State. For one I shall neither
vote to sustain it directly nor indirect
ly. If such a reign is to be perpetua
ted, I shall not so act as to have the
bitter reflection, weighing by night
and by day upon my mind and mv
hehrt, that I refused to co-operate with
the only movement against it, which
has the remotest possibility of success.
VV hether I like or dislike the leaders
of that movement, I shall not refuse
to strike a blow tpr

MEN,
nor will I join some other moy.eijit*nf,
which can only bring contusion to our

all be subordinated to the higher and
holier and braver determination to
lock shields for this final charge, with
any men and all men, who will move
upon this Despotic Power, which has
subverted the government, and made
the name of the
REPUBLIC A REPROACn.
I know you do not wish to purpetuate
this desjMtism. None who have ever
tasted the sweets of freedom ; none
but slaves can refuse to strike it
down.
I here one say, “yes, we desire to
be rid of this; but we fear we shall

B.TiK.I by electing a jkei.ky.” *
Is there nothing better in the stir
roundings -if Mr. Greeley than in the
surroundings of General Grant ? Is
there nothing better in the Baltimore
than in the Philadelphia picture ? Is
i “Y uukee Doodle,” tempered by Dixie
not In tter than
“ JOHN brown’s poll is marching on ? ”
Is the civilian, battling now for lo
cal self government, not better than
the hostile soldier riding in the kingly
pomp of his power over the restraints
ot the Constitution, and
WITH HAUGHTY TREAD
trampling the rights of the States and
the liberties of the citizens? Oh, is
there nothing higher and nobler in
heeding the loud wail of woe from
South Carolina and our sister States
than in folding our arms with “I can
not,” “I will not ?” But if these con
siderations do not move us there is
s* ill the great, the overshadowing tact
that Greeley and his party are against
Grant and his party —against the men
who have done moie to stir the bad
blood of our people, more to drive a
suffering and down-trodeu section to
despair, more to destroy confidence
in Republican government than any
and all other men who have ever
found foothold on this continent. On
the one hand is local self government
—the boon above all others we crave.
On the other is centralization and the
Federal clutch at our throats. Is
here no choice? It’there is, make it,
and then act so as to secure the fruit
of your decision.
MR. GRKKI.BY’s RECORD NOT THE QUESTION.
But Mr. Greeley’s record is in your
way. lam not here to defend Mr.
Greeley’s record. lam here to deal
with the stern, inexorable present. I
am here to-tell you of a battle leagued
against this Despotic Power, whose
heel is still upon the necks of our
suffering countrymen, lam here to
sound the battle “long roll,” and sum
mon you to arms. lam not here to
talk ot what men were , but of what
men are. What has Mr. Greeley's
record to do with the question you
must decide, viz: “where is my plare
tin the light? whom am Ito aid ?
| Those who have robbed us of our sub
! stance as well as of our liberties, or
those who have raised against them
the standard of revolt ?” Who is Mr.
Greeley but the accidental flag-staff; to
mark the career of the ship as sic
rides the corning waves of this gigan
tic popular revolt ? If lie had never
sighed (in liis own language) for the
“pure atmosphere ot peace and frater
nity, “if he had never championed the
cause of magnanimity und amnesty,
if he had not been among the first to
raise that standard of revolt, he is still
the bearer of it. Let us not stand
discussing records of long years ago,
when the opportunity to recover lib
erty is presented and passing. We
are to deal with a movement and not
with a man.
principles and policy contrasted.
But “principle.” I must cling to
my Democratic principles. “I would
vote with you for Greeley but I can’t
abandon my principles.” Let me say
a word about this. I’ve no time to
develop it. The ideas of men become
a little cloudy on this subject, I think.
They confuse ends with ways and
means —principles with the policy to
be pursued in establishing prineibles.
We may not change our principles
but Ave may change the methods of
securing them. Principle, both mor
al and political, is eternal and un
changeable, but in the case of religi
ous principle both the principle and
the manner of setting it up are fixed by
by unerring wisdom and recorded in
Holy writ Neither, therefore, can
be changed. In the case of political
principles, the method of settin g them
up, or what men call policy, is the re
suit ot human reason, and, therefore,
fallible and may be changed accord
ing to circumstances- In statesman
ship, in politics as in war, results may
bo attained by strategy, if it is honora
ble strategy. The changing a line
of policy to secure the triumph of a
principle is not an abandonment of
that principle.
AN ILLUSTRATION.
During the Mar Gen. Lee held a
principle. It was the right of self
government —whatever else was m
volyeul in that contest, this was invol_
.yed. He hejd it, and during the war
you applauded. But before superior
njupbers lie surrendered and you ap
plauded then his course. Was it that
lie, had abandoned the principle thatyou
applauded? Oil uq; it, was simply the
the abandonment of t]je policy of its
defense by bullets. We a*e io Jay as
much bound to defend this principle
in the,conflicts of peace as in those
of war. Are any here who were with
Jackson at Chaucellorsville in 18G3 ?
It so, you will remember the change
in the programme there. Ido not
give words, but the substance Gen
eral Jackson, after one of his swift
gallops along the enemy's front,
would ride up to General Lee and
say :
“General, this is a mistake to move
in here. There is this difficulty and
that in the way.”
“Well, but General Jackson, I can
not be cverwhere on the whole line
at the same time. I must trust some
thing to inv subordinates and mv on
gineers tell me this is the line to ap
proach upon.”
“Your engineers are mistaken, sir."
“Well, then, Gen. Jacksou, what
we want is to win the battle. You
see the enemy upon the heights. You
see his entrenchments. We must
carry them. If you can suggest a
better plan to carry out our purpose,
I shall be glad to hear it. What do
you propose ? ’
“You must go to the flank, sir”—
you must strike them iu the rear,” and
soon Jackson’s ragged lines dragged
not their slow, but swift, length along
through chincquepin and pine, of that
now historic Wilderness. Soon, far
off on the enemy’s flank, is heard the
wild shout of the Confederate charge
Look ! They scale the heights, and
the red cross ot battle waves in tri
umpli from the enemy’s works.
Fellow citizens, the enemies of lib
erty ; the enemies of the Constitution ;
the enemies of good government are
entrenched upon the heights at Wash
ington. Hosts are marshaling ; yea
the battle is already begun. Why
stand we here quarrelling because
this man has not been chosen leader,
or that route has not been selected
for the approach ? Into line and
forward. Most of us have boon sol
diers. Have \\x* forgotten in what
the might of armies sonsists ? I coun
sel concord. I plead for u. i:y. I
bear the Olive branch, and beg that
dissensions cease in onr ranks. Cos
operation and secession iu 1860
brought division. Co-operation and
union charged succession with the ex
treme of rashness: but all were
brethren, and the minority bowed to
the majority, and in 18G1 we had
unity. In 1872 the Liberal movement
and the “straight” movement bring di
vision—not now the charge of rash
ness ; but the straight movement
charges the extreme of caution. Let
us, in the interest of unity and in the
spirit of conciliation, go with the inn
jority ot our people. Our aims are
one, Let us not divide as to means.
Let us move into line, and forward,
my countrymen, to the frowning bat
tlements. It we secure nothing more,
let us secure the heights and hold
them forever, xve hope, in the interest
of the Constitution, of Law, of Lib
erty and of peace.
[The General was interrupted
throughout the delivery with frequent
applause.]
Clean Your Fence Corners.
A correspondent of the “Plural New
Yorker” writes to that journal: “If
there is any one thing which I hate
more than another about a farm, it is
to have the roads, walks and fence
corners filled with brush and weeds.”
The editor of the Germantown Tele
graph, in copying, expresses our own
sentiments as follows : “'That corres
pondent may include us in the antag
onism. We 1 lave gone along by such
farms with groans, and if we had met
the fanner face to face, why we
would have turned away from him
and said : No, sir! first clear away
the briers and weeds from your fence
corners and along your water courses
and the roadside. Hut we are happy
to say that we never saw more
attention paid to this matter than
now. Almost every where in this
region is the scythe and heavy brier
hook at work upon these hot beds of
farm pests, and August is the month
for operations. No good farmer will
permit the existence of such places,
and from bad farmers nothing else
can be expected. Why, these pestil
ential fence corners are to a farm
what the dismal swamps of India, the
nursery of the cholera, are to the
world—they spread their contagion
all about them, destroying the produc
tiveness of farms and the profits
arising therefrom.”
Radical tactics. — Not a man or a
political party in all this land can be
found arrayed against the negro.—
The rights which he posseses are his,
and none would or could deprive him
of them. Y"et the Grant leaders toil
the negroes to “concentrate, conceal
your property, organize for defense.”
They tell them to prepare for blood
shed and war in the event of the elec
tion of Mr. Greeley. The negroes of
the South will readily take this advice.
The war of races is about to be inau
gurated, with Wendell Phillips at the
fore.— Cin. Euq.

and do his full duty. Should Democ

that the Troup county Democracy
have put forward as their standard
bearers for the Legislature, our old
Editorial associate, F. M. Longlev,
Esq., now of La (4range, and our per
sonal friend Dr. John S. Hill of Long
Cane.
With the former, we commenced
our newspaper career, as co-editor and
proprietor, of the West Point Shield,
and lienee know whereof we speak,
when we say he is worthy and well
qualified for legislative honors. Col.
L. is a voting man of fine attainments,
and we are glad to see that his integ
rity, good habits, application and pa
triotism are appreciated by the De
mocraey of his county. If lie should
be elected he will look closelv, and
conscientiously to the interests of his
constituents.
Dr. Hill his colleague, is no ordi
nary man. He is a brother of the
Hon. B. 11. Hill, and possesses many
of the characteristics and mental qual
ities of that distinguished gentleman.
Altogether the ticket is a strong
one, and if elected will reflect honor
upon the Troup county Democracy.
General Gordon’s Speech.
We publish to-day the speech of
General John B. Gordon, delivered
several weeks since at Atlanth, and
hope that every reader ot tins paper
will give it a close perusal. It ex
presses exactly our views upon the
political situation, and shows why
every Democrat, no matter how
straight he may be, should support
Greeley in the pending Presidential
contest.
General Gordon is doing good ser
vice for the Greeley cause in Georgia.
His speeches are eloquent, patriotic,
and, also conciliating to the ‘Straights,
and from the known confidence, which
the people of Georgia, have in this
ehivalrie soldier, as well as great and
good man, they will necessarily have
a great influence. Every old soldier
of the army of Northern irginia,
who cheerfully followed General Gor
don, in the days that tried men’s
souls, knows that every pulsation of
his heart is for his native South, and
that he would advise no course that
brought with it disgrace or dishonor.
Will they not trust him now as they
have in the past and follow where he
leads ?

LetUr from the State Capital.
EdltQr Times: —Politics seem to
be at a stand-still here at this time.—
The want of enthusiasm among the
partisans of any of the Presidential
candidates, actual or prospective, is a
singular feature in this curious cam
paign. I know but two men in At
Junta who are enthusiastic—-one of
them is for Greeley and Brown, the
other for Ihe coming man. This
morning’s dispatches from Louisville
state that Col. Blanton Duncan was
struck in the face by a Greeley Demo
crat at the Gak House yesterday.—
The difficulty grew out of some re
mark about the Convention’s being a
matter of bargain and sale. That
convention meets to-day so that we
shall soon be found repeating, sub
stantially, the experiment of 186 J
Is Baltimore an unfortunate place for
Democratic Conventions to meet ?
The chances favor the nomination
of Charles O’Connor, at Louisville
but is decidedly doubtful whether he
will accept the proffered honor/
Should he do so, it will give a de
gree of prominence to the movement
it cannot acqi ire in any oilier way.—
The Conventions 0f1872 are a curious,
subject for consideration when their
material aims Ac., are regarded.
First Labor Reform without an idea
so tnded on truth; then Cincinnati,
originating; I firmly 1 euevc, among
lovers of liberty in the dominant ] ar
tv, but as certainly manipulated by
Politicians as that the one at Phila
delphia went there to sneeze when
Imperial Ulysses took snuff; and then
Baltimore disappointing everybody by
its action in indorsing as an entirety
the Cincinnati platfmn; and finally
“let us pray,” this Convention now
sitting at Louisville, gotten together
the Lord only knows how! What is to
be the result? If O’Connor is nominat
ed and accepted—all hope ot united
Democratic support for Greeley and
Brown is at an end—and it is by no
means reasonable to supose (hat their
supporters will return and re unite
with the straights. Is Greeley earnest
enough in his opposition to Grant to
to come down and leave an open field
UkO’Cpnnor? Is O’Connor sufficiently
patriotic to decline a nomination for
the Presidency and use his powerful
talents in endeavoring to concentrate
the efforts of Freedom’s sons in a vic
torious cruade against the reigning
Tyrant. Are all our efforts to be fu
tile or will better counsels prevail
and Democrats beoome united?
All these are grave questions which
are receiving the serious attention
thinking men. Looal Politics are
ripe. It is wonderful that so much
official talent has been bestowed on
the present generation and the thought
gives birth to a fear that there may
be a scarcity in the next. There are
not exceeding twenty candidates every
way well qualified who are earnestly
be laboring the people fur support for
each office within their gift.
