GOVERNOR’S ELECTION. The election for Governor takes place on Wednesday next. Let all good Democrats bear it in mind and come out in their full strength on that day. Remember that the Second day of October is the day for Governor’s election. And as this is the last num ber of our paper which w ill be issued before that time, we earnestly call upon all the Democrats in the sur rounding counties that they see to it that the full Democratic vote is polled. The Radical party with Judge Walk er at their head, are working like beavers in Cherokee Georgia, concen trating all their forces, and rallying every man of their party to their aid. In addition to this, they are calcula ting largely upon the lethargy of the Democrats, and hope and believe that they may for this reason largely re duce our majority in the Cherokee region. If this can be done, and the whole white radical and negro vote of Middle and Southern and South- Western Georgia can be brought out, as it will lie in their behalf, they have strong hopes of carrying the State. Let the Democracy of North Geor gia rise in their strength and disap point their plans and calculations. We can do it, if we will. Come out then, fellow Democrats, one and all, bring out every voter, and together let us work on that day for the success of the good old cause. Let us show our brethren in the lower part of the State that just here with us is the real back-bone and power of the party. It will never do to let our colors trail in the dust, before the Radicals, who seek once more to govern us and our children for their own proiit and our political oppression. Come out, every man of you, and with a long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether, we will beat them so badly, that it will prove the last of Radicalism, carpet-baggers and sealla wags in our grand old State. Once more we say, let every man come out on Wednesday the 2d of October. TO THE VOTERS OF BARTOW COUNTY. I deem it proper to state the rea sons why I declined to allow my name to go before the nominating convention on the 31st ultimo. First, I saw no necessity for a con vention to nominate county officers; and even if there had been, there was no evidence that the wishes of the people were truly represented; and if they were not, then tho convention was anti-Democratic. Secondly, To constitute a Demo cratic convention, it was essential that the members thereof should have been bona fide Democrats. Were they ? Thirdly, The so-called Democratic convention was composed of dele gates, invested with equal power, while one District had a voting popu lation live to six times larger than another, and this was anti-Democrat ic. For these considerations, and others I could name, I concluded to submit my case to the Democracy of the peo ple rather than the oligarchy of sixty men. I indulge no captious spirit, but will simply state, that if I did not misapprehend some of the speakers, it was said, “ none but Radicals object to conventions !/” This was gratui tous, and if true, then will January 187 U roll up an nvervvheJnainpr major ity of Radicals for Bartow county. I yield to no man in fidelity to the Democratic party, but claim the right to define my Democracy. My politi cal education was acquired in a Dem ocratic school where the dogma of packed conventions was never incul cated. There is a necessity even now for conventions for Presidential, Guber natorial, and Congressional elections, but I deny the necessity of county elections. I say to all my friends who have entangled themselves with conven tional pledges, to redeem them in good faith by voting for the nomi nees. Nominees have been turned down, and what has been may be. I shall go into this canvass as I went into the late war, a volunteer not subject to conscription. I shall not try to ingratiate myself by calumniating others, but seek to know the will of the people fairly ex pressed at the polls. If required I can be heard on the stump. R. C. Saxon. “ THE COUNTRY IS IN DANGER!” “ Citizens, the country is in dan ger !” This was the solemn decree of the Assembly on the 11th of July, ’92. France was at that moment in the supreme crisis of her fate. Rus sia had pronounced against her. Austria had declared against her, and a hundred thousand Austrians were marching upon her Capital. Her armies, defeated and disheart ened, were retreating across her bor ders before sixty thousand of the sol diers of the Great Frederick. The Pope was preparing his thunder bolts, and stirring the wrath of Cath olic Christendom against her. The Traitors at Coblentz were correspond ing with Traitors at home, and plot ting her destruction. Not a friend on earth outside of her borders, secret enemies within the very walls of her Capital. The anniversary of Liberty was approaching, nay, it was but three days off, a day that should de clare victory to Tyranny or Liberty. A committee on the state of the coun try was appointed, and this was their report: “ Citizens, the country is in danger /” The President, amidst profound silence, pronounced the solemn words, “ Citizens , the country is in danger /” Minute guns an nounced the decree, and called upon every citizen of Paris and of France to enroll himself as a soldier. Placards were posted, and standards displayed, with the words, “ Citizens, the country is in danger /” Drums were beat, the great tocsin sounded, battalions formed in the public squares, and in a few hours Paris was marching up on the enemies of France ! More over, the Assembly and all Commit tees declared their sitting permanent, and the Assembly sent twelve of the Deputies of France to work with their own hands upon the fortifica tions of Paris. On the 11th of July, ’92, the Amer ican Republic, in the pride of youth, looked out upon a boundless and grand career. Nearly a century has gone; we have known something of the vicissitudes of fortune; we have sipped the rich nectar of Freedom ; the gall of Tyrrany has been forced to our lips; and to-day we, too, are in danger! Yes, citizens of Georgia, citizens of the-Republic, “ The coun try iaiti dangtor!” Would that our people might feel the length and breadth and’depth of their danger. The question is this: “ Can the Republic; survive the shock of civil war?” No language can convey the significance of this question. When we reflect that the chances are almost all against us; when we look back anxiously upon the long and difficult road over which humanity has trav eled, and see that in every instance civil war in a Republic has been fol lowed by anarchy and despotism; when we see, unmistakably, that our course thus far is fearfully similar to that of all other Republics, from civ il war to despotism ; when, if we can but get our breath for a moment, we feel our heads dizzied by the veloci ty with which we are borne along to the crisis of our fate ; then we do know that, at this moment, no lan guage can adequately warn us of the danger. The question will be decided in November, as sure and fixed as fate. Meanwhile, next Wednesday will be a great day, for good or for evil, in our history. The effect which the result of that day may have have upon the future of the country is beyond the ken of seer or prophet. It is but eight days off! Will any friend of his country fail to come out on that day ? Re member, “ Citizens, the country is in danger /” We yet have time to save the country. Let our committees arouse themselves, and let clubs be formed throughout the land. Let every newspaper proclaim the warning, “ Citizens, the country is in danger /” Is there any mau, great or small, who refuses to enroll his name ? Let him be declared a Traitor to the Republic! T. GEN. A. H. COLQUITT. On Tuesday last, according to ap pointment, Gen. Colquitt appeared before our people, at the Court House in this place, and delivered one of the plainest, most sensible and con vincing arguments upon the issues of the present campaign, which it ha s been our privilege to hear. Without any effort to make a speech, he yet made one, which we wish could have been heard by every voter in the State. The number of hearers was not so large as could have been desired, yet the marked attention paid him, and the manifest acceptability of the views presented, left no doubt that the people were in full accord with the clear and convincing arguments of the distinguished speaker. The argument, especially upon the Cin cinnati platform, and particularly the endorsement by the party of the Constitutional amendments, was the fullest and most satisfactory which we have yet heard or seen. The 13th announces the emancipation of the slave, and as all are agreed that the negro shall be forever free, and no one anywhere in all the South is de sirous of his re-enslavement, there can therefore be no objection on this point. The 14th relates to the dis franchisement of a large portion of the Southern people, but as the plat form, at the same time, advocates I immediate and universal amnesiy, all the objectionable features of the 14th amendment are thereforeentire j]y removed. The 15th amendment confers universal suffrage and author izes Congress to exercise appropriate legislation on the subject, thus giving room for the bringing in nf the mili tary and so control the ballot-boxes in the interest of the Federal admin istration, and the victual denying of the liberty of voting to the people ; but by the platform all the objection able features of this provision are en tirely obviated by maintaining the right of local State Government for ever free from Federal interference, thus enabling each State to manage its own internal affairs, in its own way. We have not the space to give | even an outline of this admirable j speech, but suffice it to say that the parallel drawn between Greeley and | Grant and the respective positions of | the two parlies in re'ation to the I South, and the principles avowed by them, left no room for doubt in any candid Southern mind as io the ob vious overwhelming necessity of supporting Greeley. Judge Walker came in of course for a good share of Gen. Colquitt’s notice, and it was made to appear that though he may be considered a very clever fellow, yet the company he keeps, and the party he sustains, together with the thieving rascalities and deviltries and open robberies which they have com mitted, without measure or restraint, upon the State under Bullock and Blodgett’s dominion, render it rather reasonable to suppose that a man who seeks now to sustain their act ings and doings, and who, if elected, would bring these fellows back into the State and gather them around him at the capitol with liberty once more to plunder and to steal, is no better than he should be. “ Com pany, villanous company, hath been the spoil of ‘ him.’ ” The good humored yet scathing reproofs given to Judge Walker was relished heartily by the crowd, while at the same time the propriety of keeping Gov. Smith in the Gov ernor’s chair, an able, worthy, well qualified, honest and devoted Dem ocrat, was beyond all question. Elect Walker and thieves would come out from their hiding places, Bullock and Blodgett would return, plunder would be the order of the day, and the people be taxed for the benefit of the rogues. Elect Smith, and all these fellows would run away or hide out of sight forever, and pros perity and good government again distinguish, as it is now doing under the administration of Gov. Smith, the old Empire State of the South. ANDY RHODES. The above named person, who w T as sent to the penitentiary from Chero kee county, two or three years ago, has gained, we learn, the confidence of his keepers on the Air-Line Rail road, and is known as a “ trusty” in that institution. We understand he has a horse furnished him, and fre quently goes miles away on business for the company. Andy is shrewd in his way, and lucky to a remarkable degree. If his luck should change and he be sent to the plutonian regions, he will, if it be possible, man age to outwit old Nicholas and get an easy position, if there be one in that country. We give this as our candid opinion, and it may be taken for what it is w r orth. B. New York, September 21.—The Times says that Charles O’Connor has written a letter to a member of the Straight Democratic Committee ac cepting the nomination of the Louis ville Convention. TO THE VOTERS < >F GEORGIA. Editors Atlanta Daily Sun: As an old man, devoted to the best inter ests of Georgia, aud deeply concerned for her future, and not as a politician, I desire to address you a few words for sober reflection. The election for Governor will lie held on the 2d day of October. There are two candidates for that office —one a Democrat, nominated unanimously by a large and intelligent convention of the people, because of his patriotic, wise and honest administration of the State Government; the other a Rad ical, nominated by a few white men in a convention of negroes, because these white men and negroes, and their candidate, are opposed to an honest and patriotic administration of the Government. To prove this prop osition, I ask your attention to the following facts: Keep it before the people, that Bul lock w r ent into office with this decla ration on his lips: “I am on the Make.” Keep it before the people, that Gov. Smith went into office with this declaration on his lips : “ I believe IN THE OMNIPOTENCE OF HONESTY.” Keep it before the people, that Bul lock and Kimball plundered and robbed the State of millions of dollars by issuing spurious and illegal bonds ! Keep it before the people, that Bul lock, Blodgett A Cos., robbed the State Road of hundreds of thousands of dollars! Keep it before the people, that Gov. Smith, during his short admin istration, has been busily and success fully engaged in making these rogues disgorge, or in having them brought to justice, and that, by his honesty and vigilance, aided by a Democratic Legislature, he has caused many thousands of the people’s money, thus stolen, to be returned to the Treasury ! Keep it before the people, that Bul lock used the pardoning power for corrupt, political purposes, and that, during his administration, the ver dicts of juries and the judgments of court were a nulity, and crime was rampart! Keep it before the people, that, since the election of Gov. Smith, the pardoning power has ceased to be us ed for corrupt purposes, the judg ments of the Courts ha ve been respect ed ; and there has been a marked diminution of crime. Keep it before the people, that, du during Bullock’s administration, scores of our people, all over North ern Georgia, were dragged from their business and their homes, under trumpped up Ku-Klux charges, and carried to Atlanta to have their liber ties sworn away or imperilled by per jured witnesses 1 Keep it before the people, that since Governor Smith’s accession to office, the Ku-Klux organization, if it ever existed, has melted away, and peace and quiet now reign through out our borders. Keep it before the people, that Bul lock believed in the subordination of the civil to the military authority; that he invoked the aid of the latter in arresting so-called criminals, and desired and secured a large garrison in the State to protect him in his vil lainy ! Keep it before the people, that Gov. Smith has demonstrated that, under a wise and impartial administration of the laws, the civil power is ample to protect the lives and liberties of the people, and that, in recognition of the fact that they are no longer need ed, the Federal soldiery in this State have dwindled to a ‘‘corporal’s guard.” Keep it before the people, that Gov. Smith’s administration has been the very opposite of Bullock’s in every particular. Keep it prominently before the peo ple, that Dawson A. Walker, the Radical candidate for Governor, voted for and helped to elect Bullock ; that he was his supporter, adviser and counsellor while in office, and now attempts to justify Bullock’s thieving course!!! Keep it before the people, that the election of Walker would be a vindi cation of Bullock and a condemnation of Smith—it would be an emphatic endorsement of corruption and vil lainy, and the restoration to power and respectability of those who have plundered the Treasury and disgraced the State. Bullock and Blodgett with their thieving crew, now hiding from the ministers of justice, would joyful ly catch the signal, and, hastening back to the theatre of their crimes, would defiantly flaunt their pardons in our faces. Democrats, Liberals, and all true men of Georgia, who desire honest and good government, and who are opposed to plundering, remember this, and stay not away from the polls! Remember, too, that the ene my is active and thoroughly organiz ed, and will bring every man to the front on the 2d of October. You can carry the day if you but will it. Vic tory is within the reach of earnest, manly effort. I appeal to Democrats —both “Straight” and “Greeley” Democrats —to defer the Presidential question, and unite as one man to re tain in the Executive office the pres ent incumbent, Governor Smith, in whose hands the interest of all will be safe. An old Georgian. Northern Methodism.— Rev. E. Q. Fuller, D. D., Pastor of Loyd Street Methodist Church, will preach (D. V.) on this morning, at 10 30 o’clock, upon “ Northern Methodism in the South,” the sermon being oc casioned by the withdrawal from the M. E. Church of Rev. J. W. Yar brough, late Presiding Elder of this District;— OotustilyZion. JOSEPH E. BROWN. He trill support Gor. Smith and the other State Democratic Candidates , and urges other Liberal Republicans to do so. Hon. John J. Hall, of Upson coun ty, has recently written a letter to Gov. Brown, asking what would lie the course of the Liberal Republicans of Georgia in the coming State elec tions, and also what would be his own position. Gov. Brown's reply, published in the Constitution of Tues day, we regard as an exceedingly able and patriotic document; vre think it calculated to do much good; we will say further, that, considering the action of the State Democratic Convention in rejecting the overtures of the Liberal Republicans, Gov. Brown has shown a magnanimity in this matter worthy of the respect and admiration of all who consider the public good of more eonsequencethan their private schemes and personal prejudices. With regard to Nation al politics, Gov. Browu says he cor dially approved of the Liberal move ment, and aided in sending a delega tion from this State to the Cincinnati Convention. After alluding to the action of the National Democratic Convention, in accepting the plat form and nominees of the Liberals, he continues: “ Since this action has been wisely taken by the Democratic party, the only difference which ex ists between them and the Liberal Republicans is a difference of name. I am unable, therefore, to see why they could not coalesce and act to gether in fraternal harmony, in the present campaign, and support the same National aud State tickets. As the Democrats and Liberal Republi cans stand side by side upon the same platform, and support the same can didate for the Presidency, and as their interests are identical, it seems to follow that they must, in future, act together. And as the Democratic party of the Union has thought prop er to accept the Liberal Republican platform with its candidates, it seems to me that Liberal Republicans should not, by refusing to support Democratic candidates for State offi cers, throw obstacles in the way of cordial co-operation and union.” In the Gubernatorial election Gov. Brown will give his support to Gov. Smith; because of his “integrity, ability and capacity;” because he is the nominee of the party which sup ports Greeley and Brown, and in his letter of acceptance pledges himself individually to their support; because “ his election will be hailed by the Democrats and Liberal Republicans of the Union as a Greeley and Brown triumph in Georgia; while the elec tion of Judge Walker would be hail ed as a Grant and Wilson triumph.” The letter concludes eloquently, as follows; “ Can there be room for a reasona ble doubt that it is our duty to stand as a united people by the Liberal par ty, and strive to maintain local self government and constitutional liber ty? It seems to me there can not. Then let us give Gov. Smith and our State ticket such a majority in Octo ber as will gladden the hearts and strengthen the hands of the Liberal party in the Northern States in the coming contest, and thereby swell the glorious triumph which awaits Greeley and Brown in the election in November next. T. Allatoona, Ga., Sept. 24th 1872. Editors Standard J- Express: I know you w r ill allow me space in your valuable paper to correct your corres pondent of last week, who signs him self “ One of the People.” He states some of my policy cor rectly, and says the people approve it and that it is right. But he says that I am in favor of passing a law making all parties to suits in our courts pay witnesses two dollars per day in advance. He makes this positive charge, and upon it bases his whole argument against me. But in the close of his article admits he knows nothing about it, and calls on me to know if it is so. Could a correspondent have used a more adroit manner to deceive the people? He commences his article *by call ing the attention of the people, as if they were in great darkness, not able to comprehend the policy of their can didates, and as if he had a special ap- Eiintment to keep them enlightened. ut the people are not so easily de ceived as your correspondent imag ines. They can see that he was a se cret enemy of mine, and that he was ashamed to sign his name to his arti cle, thereby showing that he did not desire to be known. He writes as if he knew better what was said and done at Euharlee than those who were present; nevertheless some of the first and most intelligent citizens of the county were there. Not one of my friends objected to my policy. I was followed by Dr. Baker and Capt. Roper, neither of whom objected to my witness policy. It, like the other measures which I tm in favor of, is right. But your correspondent did not state my posi tion correctly; but, as he was not there, and knew nothing about it, he must be pardoned. My position in regard to witness fees, is that they are not sufficient to defray the necessary expenses of the witness while at court, and that the fees should be raised to a sufficient amount to pay all necessary expenses of the witness. I think the witness should receive as much as a juror, or one dollar per day, and five cents per mile to and from courts one day in each week he attends court. Not to be paid in ad vance, but as now regulated by law. It could not be paid in advance, be cause no person would know the amount, nor who would have it to pay. This is my position upon the fees of witnesses. It is just, and the people are for it, and they are for me, because I am for such measures as they approve, and the truth is, that is what is the matter with your corres pondent. He is sorry that he cannot prevent the people voting for me. He does not think the common peo ple capable of judging of the merits of their candidates, and that they should take his advice; but the people think they know their own business, and will vote accordingly. If any person understood me differently from the foregoing position, he simply misun derstood me. I expect to be in Cartersville, Sat urday at 11 o’clock, and then your correspondent, with others, can see and hear for themselves. David V. Stokely. Cartersville, Ga., Sept. 23d 1872. Editors Standard <£: Express: In my communication of the 16th, I stat ed that Col. David Stokely proposed, in the event he should be elected, to use his influence to secure the pas sage of a bill, forcing all parties in our courts to pay in advance to each wit ness subpoened two dollars per day before they should be compelled to at tend and tesify. I am informed that Col. Stokely denies that he advocates such a meas ure ; but that he simply intends to bring all his influence to bear, in se curing the passage of a bill to raise witness fees to two dollars per day, uistttdQnsctytgft (lay, as it aow stands, leaving the manner of collect ing such fees as now provided by law. Under section 3789 of our code, all witnesses, (except in behalf of the State), at the close of each term, or at any term, may moke affidavit of the number of days they have attended on such subpoena for which their fees are due, which affidavit when coun tersigned by the clerk (or if no clerk the Judge; and attached to the su!> poena, shall have the force and effect of an execution against the property of the party at whose instance he was subpoened. Now I ask in the name of all that is dear to freemen, if the same objections to the one proposition, does not exist as to to other ? Does it not amount to the same denial of right and common justice to four fifths of our people ? It often happens that men an in dieted through malice without any foundation for such prosecution, con sequently necessitating a defense. Defendants under such circumstances are forced to subpoena witnesses, in order to vindicate their innocence. The ease from one cause or another is continued term after term, until the defendant, though innocent, has been forced into poverty, or would inevita bly be thus situated, if Col. Stokelv should succeed in his measure. Such a law would subvert the great principles that moved our forefathers in the formation ofsoeietv, viz: “To protect the weak against the strong.” Fellow citizens we are all weak, and liable to err. We are all, at times in our histories forced to resort to the courts of justice, in order to maintain our most common rights. Shall this privilege be denied our people, by making the cost so enormous as to amount to a prohibition V I cannot and never will believe the people of good old Bartow favor such a meas ure. You, my countrymen, must de cide this issue made by Col. Stokelv on Wednesday, the 2d day of October. I am satisfied you will rebuke it, by electing another, who is equal in ail that makes a man. One of the People. Gen. W. T. Wofford’s bad health has prevented him from taking the stump, in this State, as elector on the Greeley and Brown ticket. Not only is his health very bad, but coup led with this fact are his business en gagements in Chattanooga, Tenn.— His heart is fully in the work, but these causes conspire to prevent him from entering actively upon the same. V e say this much because some peo ple have attributed his inactivity to general apathy with reference to the Presidential election. New Advertisements.
