Georgia til s nugust Iiwly Imd
mimVra of enUrprinliig dale-
' rum llio Northern States, long
^li iv.-jilent here to smcllthoflesh
and hunger for tho suhataneo
vii—lilnek plantation hands, mm-
. ;n rend or ivrlto, a veteran member
tho Sing Slug Penitentiary, New
Tor!;,‘other candidates for Penltenlla-
rv honors, and a few rospcctnlilo fill-
ri’ena ol' Georgia, martyrs to their pit-
Uiot.km; Georgia, however, lioing leas
represented than any other locality.—
Tlio result eat) bo Imagined. A largo
edition or Radical Party Constitutions
had been slrnek off in'Washington,
and.the charge put on llio “ kid glove"
item or Congressional expenses, and a
copy sent to each Southern State.—
This edition was adopted generally,
according to order, with somo little
rontjros or party venom, engrailed
ilioveoii, Indigonnns to local animosi
ties.
In Georgia the Executive was load
ed with patronage to liny up tho venal
in tho Stale and create tho scalawag
order'of nobility. Tho pooplo were
defrauded with hollow promises of ra-
' .known lo ho worthless.. The no-
gro was bamboozled with hope of glit
tering-privileges, meant to be with-
; held. Tho military pulled-tho wires
all Ilia time. An election was orilor-
od. Tho State Bwarmcd with Regis
ters, learned ill trleks nnd sold to Rad
icalism. "-Sharp and quick” rascality
managed the thing. Every, tr ek was
riolio to juggle the .people of.tliolr will,
■ from importing iliogni votes to ex
cluding legal voters, Including false
. counts and. manipulated hnllot-boxcs.
Radicalism triumphed in tho person of
n Now'York bundle carrier, who has
plnyorl tho'zonloiis partisan in ovory
net. Georgia’s nolilo son was defeat
ed; and Blodgett, mad at missing a
slice of llio plunder, was heard after
wards to spitefully vow he would ox-
poso the fraud of the election; but n
small sop closed his month. But the
record is too sickening to lie pursued.
South Carolina has a Legislature
two-thirds negro. Two or her Sti-
. promc Court Judges nro young men
only thirty years old, not two years
rend in law; and Ynukoe officers.—
Think of the comody of grave ques
tions of Ufa'and property being (loci
ded hy such men.
Every Governor of tho Southern
States is a Northern man —Bureau and
army officials intrigued into plaoo by
the bayonet with the black ballot.
‘TENNESSEE AND KENTUCKY.
Fortunately two States, right side of
cnpli other, niford an Instructive con
trast of Radical and Democratic rule.
See proud, prosperous, gallant, happy
Kentucky. Not a man disfranchised
unless a Democrat—the Radicals se
cure in every right—90,000 democrat-
io majority—business buoyant, com
merce bounding, agriculture remuner
ative., land valuable, $1,500,000 of pub
lic debt paid In tlireo years, heavy as
sets in tlie treasury, cities growing,
population Increasing, her blue grass
fields nnd peaceful atmosphere, her
smiling harvests nnd internal quiet,
holding out seductive temptation to
the poor nnd stormtost of every land.
See abased, VinfftltunaVo, miserable,
bankrupt Tennessee—90,000 of her
best men disfranchised under tho l-nlo
of Ignorant blacks nnd venomous
whites, business depressed, commerce
stagnant, agriculture nnpnying, land
. worthless, population diminishing, ne
gro militia under mhlignnnt lend of
Brownlow, bitterness, strife, scalding
discontent, land on the brink of revo
lution, secret organizations at deadly
feud, $18,000,0.00 added to tier public
dobt in tlireo years of Radical corrup
tion, unable to pay tlie interest on it,
and the only prospect for'bettor limes
the removal of her paralytic and vl-
perish Executive nnd his pot policy,
to congenial climes below.
I f a tree is to lie judged by its fruits,
I ask yon, intelligent patriots, which
is tlie rule with which wo should help
to saddle this country for tho next
four years. Ai-o yon willing to seo this
beautiful contlnnnt free and lmppy,
like glorious Kentucky, orsmitton aiid
gangrened, like charred old Tennessee?
For myself, I should deem that I had
the vulturos appetite for oarrion, if with
(ho horrible fruits of a rank Radica
lism beforo my eyes, I aided tlie spread
of its bad doctrines and worse deeds.
THE FINANCES?
. But whilo tlie questions connected
with tho perversion of our system of
government nnd ruinous change ill oiir
institutions aro tho weightiest argu
ments against Radicalism, there nro
momentous questions of finance for
con I deration. Attend, for these touch
jou ' pockets, nnd yon are pool.
It will be seen Hint the pecuniary
condition of the country is shocking,
and Radical rulo fabulously extrava
gant. It nil comes directly from tlie
fatal innovations upon’ tlie Constitu
tion, done by Radicalism, andyou must
restore the true theory of the govern
ment to correct these ns well ns nil tho
other abuses, and lids can only be d6ne
by electing a party opposed to them.
Yon remember Buchanans adminis
tration .of $15^000,000 n year ivas de
nounced extravagant. What think yon
of over $500,000,000 a yeas, over six
times more ? That is tlio cost of Rad-
iynlism to tills poor burdened country.
If tligro ivero no other reason for a
Southern man to vote against that par
ty its enormous costiiiiess.would lie ir
resistible. Nobody but itself could do
worse, wliilo anybody else must.do
better, lienee n change is indispensi-
ble. .
‘ The taxation by tlio Federal Gov
ernment for the Inst three years has
been $L695.QOO,000,, That is over
^500,000,000 a year. . Row has it been
spent? In reducing the publio debt?
On-tho 1st Aug. 1883, the publio tjebt
was $108,000,000 greater than in April
1st 1305.
_ Think oflt, groaning tax-payer, Rad
icalism wrung $1,594,000,000 from you
in tlireo years, more than 13 years of
Democratic and Whig rule including
,two great wars cost us before the war,
spent every dollar of it on themselves,
■mid added $108,000,000 more to tlie
public, delft, it-pould kayo reduced
tlie public debt from $2,000,000,000,
t" ot lon3t $1,500,000,000, and support
ed tlio. government liberally. Demo-
cratlo rule would have done that, nud
Radicalism ought to Im
r nm against it because
it nml I nm going to vo
tlmt will do bettor.
And tlio publio dobt Meordl ,
Mr. Wnlkor Is still increasing nl the
yearly rate of $105,000,000.
Tho mind shrinks bewildered nttlicso
figures, lint tho public nnd private
welfnro BhrlnkJ stlUfmuro tiudor their
terrible effect.
This inonoy was spent In keeping
up armies during pence, In Freedmcn’s
Bureau’s, in Reconstruction scliomos,
nnd other political engines, intunded
to prop up Radicalism. And It Is. bo-
enuso Democratic policy is opposilil to
these unconstitutional nloasurM of par
ty to sustain Itself at the public cost,
tlmt I am for |lt. And’nioro’piu'lleul-
nry should 1 Southern moil lie ngniiist
those costly and opproSsIvo schemes,
because they all wore made for tho
South, boar on tlio South, and degrade
midjinjnro tho South.
the Freedman’s bureau,
Tho Freedman’s Bureau has cost
about $50,000,900, a nice little sum
Itself. It Is simply n hugo negro nsy-
liltn and freo boardinghouse. It was
based on the Idea that the negro conld
not take care of liiinsolfhnd needed a
Guardian. Yet, think of it; tlio Radi
cal party has taken this childish crea
ture Hint required a Guardian, and
mndo him tho ruler and law-maker
for tho Southern white man. If tho
negro' needed the Bureau as a Guardi
an of his ignorance and wenknoss, ho
was unfit to make laws nnd rule us.—
If ho.was fit to be a legislator nud vo
ter, ho did not need tho Bureau. In
one ease tho white man was wronged,
in tlio other the negro insulted. Let
Radicalism choose tlio horn of tlio dil
emma It prefers. No I llio Bureau was
the base creation Of party to help it
secure victory.
Democratic policy lias boon nnd is
opposed to this combined mockery, In
sult and outrage of tlie Bureau, and
that Southern mmi Hint enn overlook
tho vile design nnn humiliating enforce
ment of this bad nnd useless institution
upon him, nnd vote ngninst tiio party
Hint is against It nnd for removing it
from him, surely thinks little of Ills
honor or interest.
MORE FIGURES.
But this $1,494,000,000 is not all that
Radicalism has collected from the peo
ple's hard earnings. It is provable
tlmt it co'lected more still, tiiat never
reached tlio government coffers,hut was
stolen oil tlie way from tlio people’s
pockets to tlio U. S. Treasury. In
1807 90,000,000 gallons of liquor were
dlstlllod in the U. S. Tlie tax was $2
per gallon. Tho govorr.mont should
linvo received $180,000,000 revenue
from tliis source, but only received
$30,000,000 allowing the stupendous
robbery of one item alone of 150,000,-
000 from tlio country by corrupt Rad
icalism. Talk of plunder! Tlie word
never'bad moaning until this day and
generation. It 1ms been child's play
up lo this timo, nnd has only grown lo
nduit proportions under tlio ibslcring
care of Radicalism, its tutelary divin
ity. Butler has well boon chosen its
leader.
BONDS.
A word ns to the bonds. They
amount lo nearly $2,000,000,OdO, are
payablj in grcenbnc '•», interestra gold,
and not taxed. They are principally
in rich men’s hands. These rich moil
don't pay taxes nnd poor men do, nnd
tho poor men pay tho taxes tlio rich
mall should pay. This is inequality of
burden, at tiicpoof man’s expense, for
tlio rich man. Tho Radical's want to
pay tlieso bonds in gold, when they
nro payable in paper inonoy, to biijj up
tlie bond h»ldcrs-in Radical interest.
This will add $300,000,000 to the dobt,
and for nothing. It is robbery, terri
ble and wholesale, nnd robbery of tho
poor man. It -makes gold money for
the capitalist, and paper money for
tlio laborer.
Vdrlly, bonds nro good tilings, and
Radicalism; is tho bond holder’s proph
et. And the laborer that votes tlie
Radical-ticket verily aids tho plunder
of his own pookot, and will I o paid hs
thesorijntiros Iwth if—the “fool accord
ing to his folly." ‘
.. l TAXES,
I must show you how the man with
no property pays heavy taxes. He Is
n consumer. Every tax nnd commis
sion is liitnped in the prico ho pays—
Everything Is tnxod from plows to
spoons, nnd lie pays it. Why is coffee
30 cents per pound. It used to lie 0.
Stignr now 20 cents was formorly G to
10 cents. Taxes nro the enuse; nnd the
poor laboring consumer pays the whole
bill. A- hundred little nibbles nt Hie
snmotliing'ent It out, and every nibble
ends in your pocket. The producer,
Manufacturer, anil every trader pays
Ids tax on tho tiling, and you pay all
with a percentage to each for his sup
port.
Tho Radicals say the Reveuno is di
minished nnd point to that as a proof
of reduced taxes. It is bosh. Tlie
diminished revenue grows out of tho'
decrease in the prosperity of tho land
under Radical misrule, and to make
this diminution ifppalling, tlui govern
ment expenSes increase. It’s cost is
grenter and its receipts less, and heav
ier taxes must result.
l’nt it out I Put some now party
in I Yonr interest demands it. The
public good exacts it. The burdens
got bigger, and the means swelled
Sinking dally into'deeper distress, self-
preservation crtes'oiit for a change.
With this lingo pyramid of debt,
tho tomb of our prosperity, nnd
the stupendous yearly drain upon
your means, all tho result of Radical
ism, that, fqetion hnvoyot tlio astound
ing effrontery to claim economy. That
is another old word changed in t heir
new political vernacular. On our Stnte
roan rSlli informed they reduco wages
mid increase tlie Immis, to multiply
votes, and claim tlmt as reduction nnd
oconomy.
But to cap the climax of audacity,
they charge their criminal extrava
gance and corruption to Andrew John
son, When they have tied him hand and
foot, and stripped him of all power, savo
to send them neper vetoes protesting
against their crimes, thntthey laugh at.
TUB CRY OE AVAR.
Does not this nmko an irresistalilo
indictment for misrule against this par
ly? I have not told a tithe of its
crimes, aud my space is out. If theso
charges are tt'uo, don’t the party do

Ho misrepresents ui.’ He stirs strife
to charge it to ns lor political capital,

day If wo could show how peaceful nnd
loyal wo nro, Hndlcnllsm would crum
ble to shlvorsof its own weakness. But
it Is bnlstorod up by slander. Never
viler falsehood was uttered than that
tlio South means war. Wo hum for

Our troubled hearts cry (or it. Our
waste plaoos olamor for it, Not for
tlio stupor tlmt coincs.from the loss Of 1
hope under successful tyranny, hut
tho swoot quiet tlmt flows boainily ffortf
contcntmuiit under golden rule.
Domocrnoy means no war; and Rad
icalism does, Ibr it arms negroes nnd
enlls'for troops. Tlio Domncrnts don’t
say tlie election of Grant (fill cntiso
war, for they will submit. But Radi
cals claim war from Seymour’s election.
Oortnlnly-'Democrat's won’t light, if
successful; It wonld ho needless. Rad
icalism admits then it will fight, if de
feated. If it- menus war if not elect
ed, let It say-so; and seo'lf'it.cart got
office license it won’t submit to the
people's choice, mid will ruin if it don't
rule.
I beliovo tho North does not'endorse
Radical misrule, hut is nfrnld of war
at our linrtds; If wc nro dol'eatod this
will ho the ennso. If weenn convineo
our Northorn brethren tlmt we moan

tho country Is tlmt we may lie under
stood by them before the Constitution
is all gone. I Imvo stated some of the
evils and errors of Radicalism to show
its intrinsic wrong ; nnil whenever llio
North Is free from its fem-s of our loy
alty and peaceful itBRRadicalism must
inevitably die. Let oilr people bear,
nnd toaeii the country how true wo nro
to our plodges. I know how Imrd'lt Is
to be quiet under vile misrepresenta
tion. I do not blnino the North for
its douhts, when at homo wu Imve men
who reitnta and endorse the black
slander upon qs.
Why in this Southern town ol Dal

garbled extracts from their speeches
to show wnr-like intent. And this by
Southern men I Even good Northern
men must glory in Southern prowess
ns a part of-American history mid nn
illustration of American character.—
But Hmt Southerner, who' in tile service
of a faction hostile to his peoplu can
falsely affix tho oxeerablo epithet of
“Hangman” to .the knightly and stain
less Hampton—recognized'type of Ids
countrymen’s purest chivalry—brands
JliBOwij person .with tlio lurid embla
zonry of a blistering stigma. Oh
Slmmo I shame II upon him that
would thus villlfy Ids own- people, nils
represent his own blood, thus slime
our purest patriotism and stab Ids own
honor. Talk of war I This is war in
deed, the most detestable of war I—
War upon truth, upon decency, upon
tlio ties of blood, and the holiness'oV
homo. The sensibilities revolt at the
ignoble tiling, nnd turn nwny shocked
nt Hie faction Hmt resorts to such un
worthy means to succeed. History
when it rights tho record of this’day,
must for hmmiidty’e sake drop the
mantle of oblivion . over such, foul
abasement.
11ECON8TBUCTIONISTS.
I appeal to the lionest Ueconstfnc-
tloidat to leave tlmt party. You said
you voted for Reconstruction to get
into the Union, Hint it was wrong'in
principle, but politic. It was bad, but 1
yon would avoid worso by doing it.—
It is no longer politic. You are in
tho Union. Give it np when you own
it is wrong, and it is no longer politic.
It lias done the only good you said it
could do. Renounce it when it is do
ing Imrm, and Its good nil done. If
you cling to It now,you endorse wrong,
when it is not even expedient.
THE CANDIDATES.
In regard to the candidates, there is
little to lie said. Seymour is a states
man, a 'Christian and a patriot. Ho will
adorn tlie office, and make us proud of
him. Against General Grant I have
nothing. Ho says lie is no statesman.
1 take his word. And .1 don't want
him put lo do Wlmt liu says ho cant do.
As a General I concede to him nil he
asks. lie lead the troopB Hint van-
guished our heroic dead-, and I say it
don't become mu to midhi-vnllio onr
own matchless soldiers by depreciating
tho generalship that conquered them.
In a late speech at LaFnyotto, Indi
ana, Mr, Golfax used those words;- *
"In 1800 you know men dared to
stand up in tile South nnd denounce
secession, and declare their jevotioii
to the Union; now no man can do so
without being in danger of his life.—
Speakers in the South tcaclrpeoplo to
ostracize those who speak- in defense
of tho Uuion.”
I hold that no Southerner can' sup
port a public'man who thus traduces
Ids people. The stntement Is untriio
in toto. It is nn intended falsehood,
nnd should forfeit him tho respect of
tho worthy everywhere. But that nn
nspevsed man should endorse his villi,
fier is monstrous.
But tlie issue is a greater one than
personal clioico between two candi
dates. A' heavenly angel could not
but ruin the land under Radical poli
cy. It is Hint policy upon w I Jell wo
must decide. Born of revolution, nur
tured by hate,'brimming witli fanatical
bigotry, and ruinously destructive, it
preys upon tlio noble, it befouls with
sacriliglous lmml the sacred, nnd roots
out of tho land nil thing’s good.
Tlio isstio is, peace or anarchy; the
constitution or mob cuprlce; freedom
or tyranny; a constitutional govern
ment or a consolidated despotism ; the
principles tlmt Ibr 73 years gave us
prosperity, or tlio mad practice? that
from tho creation have sundered re-
110 song of ii
publics ; tlio glndsomosongof a lmppy
realm or tho anguished soli of n ei-uci-
fled land ; llio smiling glory ol'nngullo
pence or a “noblo mid most sovereign"
commonwealth,
■•Lltoisim-l Ill-Mil, JmijiIchI out o' nino, nud Imrstl.lj
The Southern man witli respect for
himself nnd section ns well as for his
Spill)try, can go but ono way. Witli
llioso who would nmko IiIb State mi
honored equal, nnd not n degraded in
ferior to otlior States ; who linvo the
true, theory of llio Constitution, and
hot tlioso wlm overrido every funda
mental prinelplo of constitutional gov
ernment.
His own soft experience of woo should
tench him llio clanger of leaving the
Constitution.
Let his licnrt not fuller from Ills du
ty. Know tho right and maintain it.—
Let no,despondency overcome, no lirilio
buy, no dmigor daunt, no wllo seduce
him from honor. There bo men who
sny it is cant to talk of honor in our
deep trouble. Awny with such foill
admonition. Without honor, the di
rest vassalage Is cerium. Tho splrjt
of respect killed, mid nil is lost.
Though every other Stuto go Radi
cal,-let Georgia stand steady to right;
ami our triumph will bo certain.
, “ Djiiiin yo hoar tlio pibroch," tlmt
tells yoif of coming relief? Its strains
come sweeter than song to the listening
garrison nt liny. A short while,
and- we-will ho free, and let »s hope,
\?HIVribr bur snd experience.
The destiny of Riidiciillsiti is sure.
It may destroy Amcriumi liberties in
its reign or with its ilowfifulf, yet we
oplno npt. But the Avenging .Furies of
an execrated doom speed swiftly upon
its track, and the nwful scorn now giv
en to the rod-hnnded Jacobinism of
France will forever visit this more
than Gorgon horror.

There is no disguising tlio fact,Hmt
the recent elections In the tlu'de great
Northern Stntos of tho Union, Im9 cast
n gloom over overy .ti-iiu ninn in tho
Smith. They expected a different re
sult—they expected reason tq reign,
not passion, hatred, and a fiendish de
sire to continiio to torture and punish
a helpless, down-trodden people. But
they Imve decided otherwise—they
imvo been made to believe by cunning,
lUisotupulous, dying Mongrel leaders,
that our people arc still rebellious, and

let tlie democracy not Im discouraged
—let llierft ntlt relax their chergies,
not give up (ho contest—tlie result in
these Slates does not hy any means

remember the contest between Polk
and Clay in 1844—State after State,

of tlmt year, rollud up heavy Whig
majorities, and yet Polk was elcetod

Col. Avery introduced Gen. Wofford
to the large audience, nnd lie-opened
