the Democrats have got to do in order

What tt Cost.
The impeachment trial of President
Johnson is estimated to have cost
tho ‘Government $500,000. Just think
of it, yo tax payers of the nation.—
Hive Hundred Thousand Dollars!—
and all the result of Radical rule.
It is alarming to ovory truo friend
of the nation to see with what rap
id strides tho Radical party Is has
tening us on to bankruptcy anil ultor
ruin. Already tho Government is
groaning under a public debt that enn
not bo paid within the next hundred
years, if over, and yot tho Jaooblii pat

of every department of government
and making their obnoxious and des.

that they should, yet -o arc glail to
know that tho aub|evf ti lot overlooked
by them, but that It is erelving moro
of tholr. attention over year, and con
siderable shipments c hay are now
made from this seutlo: South.
Thousands of hales f liny are yearly
shipped from the Wei and North to
innuy of our Southori owns nud cities
to lie fed to Souther stock, and tlii
too when our farmers lould raise this
bay as easily as not, id thus keep all
this monoy at home i id In tholr own
pocketB, by supply In tho non-produ
cers of our towns am cities with dvery
pound they need.
It is estimated lli t every hale, of
liny brought to the South from tho
Northern and Wes rn States takes
out of the'counti'J'i least three dol
lars and fifty coats, icludiug freights,
and this inonoy.iiov, 1 perhaps returns.
Think of this, farm s of North Geor
gia and of tho Sodt , mid go to work
for the purposo of enduring our peo
ple Independent of lie North In this
particular.
As before stated, here Is no soil and
climate better adorned to thu cultiva
tion of clover mil the grasses than
this portion of our State,nud ono hun
dred fanners |n whltllold oounty, with
a very little effo/t, can raise at least
tcu thousand bales of hay for market,
which, at $4 per bale of four hundred
pounds caoli, (and this it would read
ily bring), would amount to tho nico
little sum of $10,000 for tho lmy
crop nlouo of this oounty. Ten ncres
of ground to each farmer will produce
this result, which would bo a return of
$400 for overy ten acres. Now, are
thoro not ono hundred farmers in this
county who, next fall, will put tea
acres of land each In clover or the
grasses? If so, tho nbovo qnantlty

But wohnvo not tho patlonco to coutin-

loathing and disgust.
Ahsnt to Get Ills Reward.
A Washington dispatch, of tho ICtti,
Ihfofms us’that a hill was introduced
into Congress on that dny removing
thu political disabilities of quite a nunr
her of Southern deserters of their race
and color, among whom Is Joe Brown.
And Joe is about to be rewarded for
liis shamofltl political apostacy. Tho
disabilities being removed lie onn then

to do, fbr of course he will now bo a

An Infmuoat Itriolntloi.
At tho late Methodist Conference,
which assembled at Chicago, tho Rev.
Air. Waldo Introduced tho following
resolution:
"Tbit nil government It but id upon the relig
ious Idena of tlin-u who tarry It on, amt dint the
northern Methodists hove acquired by cnmpiest
die right to control the religion of the South.—
That it In just ns wrong to ollow the Southern
Mcdiodlltl to meet nnd wprtMji In their w.ry ns
it would be to nllmv Leo mid Johnson to cult to
gether mill diill llielr iiriiilej again. They will
Komi ho prohibited from on doing. Thu religion
of tho North it bound to rulo this uonUnout, nnd
it proposes to make o proper oppliuiidoii of our
lliole to all the southern States nnd people. A
liiblogntrd people hove no more right to apply
tholr own peculiar moral ideas, than lo uno tholr
physical implomonU of war."
Did tho civilized world ovov hoar of
such an Infamous sontlmont or propo-
sltiou as that contained III the above
contemptible resolution? " Tho right
to control tho religion of tho South ”
Is therein asserted, and a determina
tion to do so is dlstliiotly.enuneiatod.
The Romish Church, in the dark nnd
bloody days of tho Inquisition, did tho
samo thing, and hundreds woro cruelly
tortured and put to death for their ad
herence to tho Protestant faith, which
was tho faith taught by our Saviour.—
It remains to be seen whether this
politico-religious church will carry
thoir persecutions of tho pooplo of tho
“conquered South" to tho samo extent,
tial reports upou which his high-hand-1 How steeped in sin—how dovilishly
od action was in many instances bas
ed.” If It shall ever bo possiblo to
bying to light tbo secret orders of nten
like Stunlou during the war, the revo
lution will astound nil thoughtful peo
ple. So much of cruelty and injustice,
coupled with despotism nnd persecu
tion, hardly has a parallel In history.

Cedar Grove, Juno 11, 1863.
Messrs, Editors,—Tho most omin
ous sign of the timos is tho cleath-llko
lethargy which now’ pervades tho dem
ocratic ranks of tills country. Flushed
with victory, and burning with tho
zcnl of now converts, tho Mongrels of
Goorglaare setting up a yelping which
is disgusting oven to negroes. The
whole country is Hooded with their fil
thy, lying documents ; whllo many a
petty thief, whose fingers, during tho
war, were well trained in pursuit of
the property of others, is rejoicing in
the hope that ho will share with the
nogroos In thle division of our real os-
tato^wlillo many otliors, with less hon
esty add more imptidoncu, whoso hnnds
are steeped in corruption, or whose'
souls aro stained with the blood-spot
of murder, aro elated in anticipation
of holding all the offices and of reap
ing Holt harvests of wealth by plunder
ing tho already Impoverished pooplo.
But for fear some “ trooly. loll ’’ con
vert of Joe Brown's Chicago effort,
thinks this picture overdrawn, I will
append an item of Radical disgust for
that seething cesspool of corruption,
“ Southern loyalty i"
“ It b not strange, says tire New York Sun,
tlmt ill sorts of scamps end adventurers should
attatih themselves to tho llepubltosn party In tho
South, They think it Is bound to win, and pre
tend lo adopt its principles oouordingly."
A cool, calculating, intellectual wick-
ednose Is eating out the very heart and
core of all our prosperity, and like a
deadly mildew is blighting and with
ering tho blooming promise of overy
spring of our national greatness. Bnt
delusions cannot last always. Ere
another oloction tho humbug of repu
diation will be numbered among tho
things that were. All who are not im
pervious to disgust, will hava becoms
surfeited with negro equality, and will
long for tho return of our wonted pros
perity; hence the urgent necessity for
, i a thorough, qompaot organization. of
t—"Ti the’UWoorafihi x itrtyir - ^^
I know that many of our best citi
zens nrodlscouraged nnd have no heart
to work; while many’ others feel that
tlieir individual efforts could accom
plish nothing. As long as this feeling
pervades tho democratic masses noth
ing will ho done. Defeat is certain
Thirty years ago the doctrines of
Mongrollsm were so obnoxious that
nothing, save the power of civil law
protected those who advocated them
from molt violence. The idea of in
corporating the negro element into our
political Bystem was so repulsive to
tbo instincts of our nature that tho
people everywhere regarded it with in-
supprosslhlo disgust. But opposition
cemented tho ranks of the deluded vo
taries of a vague and foolish abstrac
tion, and persecution intensified their
efforts. The South, with her mil
itary rale and paralyzed industry, and
tbo North, with her painful forebod
ings of future rain, and her decay
ing commerce, now fully’ attest the tri
umphant success of abolition princi
ples.
From the early inception and rapid
growth of abolitionism, overy Demo-
ernt should gather strength and reso
lution; ami in the desolation and wide
spread ruin which its succoss has
brought upon the country, there is cer
tainly sufficient incentive to induce
every ono to exert all his efforts to re
store our decaying prosperity. All
who oppose the beastly amalgamation
with negroes must bo united into ono
solid compact phalanx, if wo would rid
our country of the enormous riot and
misrule of the party which will soou
trvkc the reins of our State government.
Democrats nnd Conservatives must go
to work in dosporato earnest. Onr all
is nt stake and can only be saved by
our united efforts: hence let a Demo-
os’Atio Club bo organized in every mi
litia district, in every village, at every
post-otllce, and democratic documents
be placed in every voter’s hands. Wc
needuo secret, midnight, oath-bound
leagues lo propagate our principles,
for democratic principles aru not such
as any matt should be ashamed of.—
After clubs are formed the names of
till honest men, who formerly acted
with tho democratic party, and of all
doubtful voters, should be forwarded
to our head-quarters, so that ovory in
fluence may be brought to iuduco tbem
to return to tbeir first love. Most of
those who Imve left us in tho hour of
our peril, can be induced to return.—
Tho spell by which Joe Brown has held
the wool hat boys, can be.broken, and
it must be. All that is necessary is to
enlighten the honest yeomanry of tbe
country, nnd they will do right.

Iter own, but otto framed for lior by
Congress, and ono framed to defraud

Commenting upon this admission of
Georgia into the “Union" by tho “Om
nibus Bill,” tlio Columbus Enquirer
proporly remarks: “Every intelligent
man in Goorgin knows that, the Con
stitution framed at Atlanta would not
have been adopted without the sections
nuliflod by Congress. Why, then, docs
not Congress, after striking out tlioso
provisions that secured tho adoption
of tho Constitution, require it to ho re
submitted to a voto of tho people ?”—

Rilling tlio Relief Claase.
The nows that Congress had killed
the relief.clause in the Georgia Con
stitution was received in the city yes
terday lift Democrats with the utmost
satisfaction. So far as Georgia is con
cerned, it also killed the Radical party.
The chagrin, disappointment and rage
of tho victims to this trap and snare by
which thoy were led into voting for
Aaron Alpaoria Bradley's Constitution
can well he imagined, '(.'hero was

Lesson and Eueonragement-
Tho result of the lato election in
South Carolina tenches n most signifi
cant lesson. Let us rcsolvo to profit
hy it. There is a black majority of
40,000 in that Stnto, and of course the
wliito people did not expect to over
come it entirely at this election. But
did they sit down and fold their hands?
Did they resolvo that to run a ticket
was “hopeless” or “degrading?” Not
so. They went to work everywhere,
and out of tho nettle danger, have
plucked, if not safety, yet abundant
hope for tho future.
Look nt Laurens district with near
ly a thousand negro majority. She
elects iter entire Democratic county
ticket by over 500 majority. Look at
Abbevilie, with 1700 negro majority,
electing nearly al! the Democratic tick
et. Look at Union, where the ApriP
election showed 700 Radical majority.
The Democrats sweep the district by
1200 majority. Look nt Chester, with
over 1000 negro majority. Tlio Radicals
me beaten, badly. All over tho State
the returns show a great falling off in
the Radical vote since April. Tho
wedge lias been driven in, and daylight
shines through the crevice. Tito homo
of Calhoun—tho mother of Marion nnd
Sumter will yet be snatched from the
foul bauds that now pollute Iter sover
eignty—Messenger.
The Radicals, although tltej’ claim
to have all tho religion, and all the
morality, are led hy men who seem to
delight iu deriding sacred things, and
revel in blasphemy nnd profanity
Wade is a notorious vniti-tiser of the
Maker’s name. Thnd Stevens, in Con
gress, called our Savior a “single indi
vidual,” nnd Carl Scliurz, tho tempor
ary Chairman of tho Chicago Conven
tion,and n leader in the Radical Israel,
is tlio Red Republican infidel who, in a
public spooolt made a few years since
in St. Louis, spoke of the Almighty ns
“the ideal gentleman beyond tlio skies,
called by some people, God I”—All this
may be “ highly moral" from n Radical
point of view; but it is frightful, never
theless, to put power iuto the hands of
such profane nod godless agitators.
Speenlatlans Concerning tbo Georgia Legislature.
Tub following speculations respec
ting tlio Georgia Legislature elect, aro
clipped from a letter from Augusta, of
a correspondent of the New York
Times. Doubtless his affinity with
Radicalism enables him to bo posted

Ex-Gov. Brown ami Mr. Foster Iilod;

It is probable that Gen. Gordon will he
one of the Democratic candidates
Some say that District Attorney Fitch
will lie the other. Tlio Radicals prop
er are not believed to he sufficiently

NEGRO AND OFFICE.
The question of the legal eligibility
of negroes to office under the new Con
stitution will ho tried and settled when
tlie Legislature meets. The attempt
will be made to exclude the negro mem
bers elect from theirscats on the ground
that they cannnot hold office: but it
must fail in my opinion, as nothing
can be clearer titan tlieir right to hold
any olllco to which a white malt is eli
gible. The notorious Bradley will not
be allowed to tako Ills seat on account
of his conviction on n charge of felony,
and because tho Radical whites and
tho lending negro politicians are very
hostile to him nnd regard him as troub
lesome and dangerous.
Is That the Pisa t
It is rumored on tlie streets that tlie
Goorgia Rndicnls, discomfited by tlie
expunging of “ Relief" from the Con
stitution, have determined to repair
damages in another Way; It is said
thoy propose to embody tho “relief”
propositions in tho form of legislative
statutes, and then put men on tlie
bcnclt pledged to maintain the consti
tutionality of these laws.
This may bo tried, but it will do no
good. Appeal will he made nt once to
the U. S. Courts, and the laws will be
declared void

Debtors in Georgia sltonld lose no time
in trying to effect a compromise with
their creditors. As, in till probability,
there are few who do not stand In tlio
two-fold relation of debtors and credi
tors, if a general and prompt move
ment is made, a great deal of debt
mav bo settled by a mere transfer of
obligations; whilo tho provisions of
the Bankrupt act will themselves sug
gest a liberal compromise upon the re

Opinion of Colfax in the West.—
The Cleveland Phiitidcaler says of Col
fax,! lint he is “a politician by trade “and
is notorious in iudiiiimnsa “chronic
office-beggar,” that ho “was elected to
Congress in 1S54 by tho ‘Know Noth
ing party' and ho was one of tho most
bitter, loitd mouthed defumors of our
foreign-horn fellow citizens in that nte-
mofalilo campaign; and that “ho is
best known ns a mere partisan intrigu
er as fall of Radical bittornuss as Old
Thnd himself, and possessed of neither
strengthorcomprchensivenoss of mind,
nor generosity of disposition.”
Pendleton and Hancock It is
stated Unit a letter has boon recoived
in Washington by his friends, from
the lien. George II. Pendleton, in
which he authorizes tho withdrawal of
his name ns a candidate for tho Presi
dency whenever, in thoir judgment, an
other candidate evinces more strength.
Gen. Hancock's friends have determ
ined to pursuo the samo policy, there
by securing perfect hnrmony in tho
National Democratic Convention.
