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.

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.

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.

Editors Standard <£: Express: In
my communication of the 16th, I stat

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.
