NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
According to Radical theory, negro—or to
use a more refined wont, coloted suffrage, is the
great Panacea for the many evils that niiiict
oiir disorganised country, especially is its adop
tion the moat securo means of reconstructing
the Union. Thaddeus Stevens, who claims the
paternity of the “sleeping lion” that now
quietly rests upon the speaker’s desk, contends
that confiscation is one remedy, hut that as a
general principle, negro suffrage is the only
one ft# all of our afflictions. So thoroughly
imbued is the Radical miud with this general
principle of negro suffrage, that if asked how
thev expect to pay the public debt, the im
mensity of which both alarms and oppresses
our people, their replica*ion is prepared, “adopt
negro suffrage.” So overwhelmingly besotted
with the general principle, ftro they, that to the
question of how shall our material interest as
a nation bo advanced, they are ready to reply,
adopt negro suffrage, and theiHsll’s well. The
poor man's condition will be bettered, and his
children educated, if we adopt negro soffrago
say the Radicals, In fact suffrage re
constructs the country, pays our enormous tax
bills, educates our children,. establishes the
prosperity of the country, conciliates the North
and South, restores fraternal feeKng, nnd makes
ail classes hive oncauother—so say the Radicnls I
Fofmfe we cannet see where the steam strikes
the wheel.' We cannot for our life, from all
the arguments advanced by the advocates of
the policy, sec the efficacy of the remedy, or
any good sense in its application, Tho good
of our country wo have at heart, and any
measure calculated to cement tho broken bowl t
and calm the howling tempest, we are willing
to approve and support with all earnestness
and sincerity. Here were we born, and this
land is still onr home. We love its memories,
and we desire to enjoy and perpetuate consti
tutional liberty, and republican government to
the last generation. We desire to make the
Union wbut it was before fanaticism made its
successful attack—the pride and glory of the
American—the admired of all nations—the
asylum for tho oppressed ; and as it is the
“home of the brave,” we fervently hope that it
may bo again the “land of the free,” and let
any monsure be proposed that will offset such
a result, we are ready and anxious to yield our
approbation, and give it our earnest support. —
Rut when a good portion of our citicena are
oatracisod for opinion’s sake, and that without
authority, either defined or definable, and w ith
military rule over us, and its entraps denying
to us the exercise and enjoyment of inalienable
rights and privileges, this because of the ex
pression of au honestly conceived opinion in
some instances in others, an attempt to
establish and maintain a principle in a war
-waged lor self-preservation and independence,
and ia order to regulate affairs, tender us negro
•uffrage, as King core all, we think it infinitely
vine than the disease, ajidmoretobodrradud.
Wl derbot think it a Panacea, and consequently
cannot willingly give it our ndhereuce, and
while we accord to those who favor it, honesty
<>f purpose, we at the same time believe they
are Finning against light and knowledge, arid
if adopted through their instrumentality, they
wdl never cease to regret it. They will never
gat done shuddering, end spectres will never
o«ve to rise up before thorn, to frighten, and
which will finally engulph us all in one common
ruin,.. *

THE CONVENTION.
Tim signs of the times indicate that the elec
tion for delegates to the “reconstruction con
vsntion,” will transpire about the Ist of No
vember. Sinoe the time is drawing near
considerations of importance and interest
demand that the people should begin to think
about who are the most suitable persons to
represent them in this convention..
Wo have no inclination to say anything
that may be construed as favoringn premature
and hooted agitation of the great questions
That this convention will be called to puss upon,
for we well know the evil tendencies of such a
course in the post, and deprecate a repetition
of it in the present embarrassed condition of
our section. The damaging influences that
would accrue to the material prosperity of our
country by arousing the newly enfranchised
class of our citizens and drawing them from
the fields which are now teeming with plenty
and awaiting the task of the harvester we an
ticipate, and Everything should be done to
prevent this agitation, and the state of affairs
♦hat it will necessarily produce. But candi
dates can be pnt forward without such results
and i* is highly important and in perfeoi ac
e< rd with our peculiar situation—the shortness
of time, the magnitude of the questions and
other considerations ol more or less interest,
that we begin to set our houses in order and
be prepared for the day. This convention will
be bold—touching this all minds agree—of
the certainty of this event we entertain not a
deubt.andwe extract tho following from “Notes
„„ »he Situation” by B. 11. Hill as evidence of
that fact. ~ ,
•The large white disfranchisement, the
largo negro vote, and this fraud on the election
will, in all probability, accomplish Recall of
a Convention."
We favor the policy of sending our very best
men to this convention —men of intelligence
and acknowledged worth, and unquestionable
integrity. The idea that members of this
convention will be required to subscribe to the
“ircn-clad oath” is all bosh, and wo further
more believe that a decent white man ean go
to that convention and retain his character,
Mr. Hill’s opiuiuu to the contrary notwith
standing. .... A
Asa journalist wc favored registration au
vacated it from the beginning, and in the ap
proaching election we urge our qualified white
voters to attend the election and vote for dele,
gates to represent them—vote for decent white
7<*c*. The question “for a convention” or
against a convention” is still an issue, and as
we have repeatedly referred to it in our col
umn*, we have no inclination at this time to
review the subject, our position is well known
aiid wc have nothing to retract or to add. *
It Has’nt Hart Us-Not Much.
General Pope hae lucres-ed onr Subscription
List. Popular reaction will make u» whole.—
Marietta journal.
Let the people throughout the State say we
act upon the same principle, and sustain the
Conservative Press. Gen. Pope s desire is that
it may he stopped from official advertisements.
—Albany Netoe. , . !■ .
Oen. Pope’s last order “translated into the
vernacular, means thnt ail the Southern news
papers which fail to support the Radical party
are to be proscribed.— National Intelligencer.
They may be proscribed by power, but they
will be. upheld nnd supported by the people.—
Alexandria, Va., Gazette.
We can assure nor cotemporarics nnd Gen
eral Pope, too, that his proscriptive order has
signally failed of its intended effect. It is true
we lost the official anvertising rtf four or five
counties: hut an incteasc of our list of nearly
two hundred subscribers will more than counter
balance their loss. Tho people of Georgia
will support their own papers but General Pope
must support his Radical organs. The j/eoplt
will not, and this is the best evidence of their
hatred of Radicalism and their devotion to the
true principles of Constitutional Government.
When General Pope's dictatorship terminates
in the Third Military District, the obituary
of the few Radical papers will be— Died or
Starvation. — Chronicle <f: Sentinel.
For denouncing Radicalism and refnsing to
bastardize our country we have been stripped
of the official advertisements of a few counties.
We are dtfvnted to correct principles and pro
scription will never drive us from the path of
duty. Wbon we are delivered from the body
of this death Radical papers Will sink to rise
no more. “Died of starvation” will be an
appropriate obituary, and we respectfully sug
gest the epitaph.
“Hie jacct mortuus asinus.” *
Edwin M. Stnnt in the lately deposed Secre
tary of War w ho yielded to “snperior force” is
the lion of hut few. This is as it should be.
No man, either private' or public, ever bad
more “winning ways to make one bate him”
than this detcstahlo cuss, whose nefarious
deeds appropriately rank with those of tho
acknowledged bmtes nnd cannibals of the dark
ages. Northern exchanges remark that he is
pleasuring if through New England, and cre
ates about us much jollification as Benedict
Arnold did when he deserted the cause of the
Colonies and took refuge on tho British shores.
It appears to us as savoring of crnelty to lash
him with the pen as his guilty conscience cer
tainly causes him to suffer the tortures of the
damned. The following we extract from an
editorial by “Brick” Pomeroy, of the La Crosse
Democrat : * *
We pray to God ho may live fifty years, tor
tured by a never ceasing, never-fulfilled fear
of vengeance from some victim of his villany
—haunted by spectres of his victims, some all
gaunt with starvation—others dying on battle
fields some by military commissions—others
dragging disease smitten bodies through years
of living dentil! There are civil tribunals too,
before which he can be brought in the name
o( law—there are myriads ready to involve him
in the intricacies and torments of legal pro
cesses' Let them swarm about him, —devour
him and hits substance —satisfy thoir revenge,
and show him that even in the dishonored
temple of American justice be can bo called to
answer for bis great crimes against citizenship

President's Amnesty Proclamation.
Hi/ the President o f the united States of Amer
ica :
Whereas, In the month of July, A. D. 1861,
tho two houses of Congress, with extraordina
ry unanimity, solemnly declared that the war
then existing was not waged on the part of tho
Government in any spirit of oppression, nor
for anv purpose of conquest or subjugation,
nor for the purpose of overthrowing or inter
fering with tho rights or established institutions
of the States hut to defend and maintain the
supremacy of the Constitution, and to preserve
the Uqion with all the dignity, equality, and
rights of the seveml States unimpaired; nnd
that as soon as these objects should bo accom
plished the war ought to cense.
And W it ereaS, The President of the United
States, on the Bth day of December, A. It.
1863, and on the 26th day of March, A. D.
1804, with tho objects of suppressing tho then
existing rebellion, nnd of inducing all persons
to return to their loyalty, and of restoring tho
authority of the United States, issuod proclama
tions offering amnosty nnd pardons to all per
sons who had directly or indirectly participated
in the then existing rebellion, except ns in
those proclamations was specified nnd reserved.
And WrtERSAB, The President of tho United
States did. on the 29th day of May, A. I).
1865, issue a further proclamation with the
same objects before mentioned, and to Die end
that the authority of the Government of the
United States might be restored, and that
peace and order and freedom might bo estab
lished ; nnd tho President did. h'y the said'lnst
mentioned proclamation, proclaim and declare
that ho thereby granted to all persons who
had, directly or indirectly, participated in the
then existing rebellion, except ns thereitt. ex
cepted, amnesty and pnrdon with the restora
tion of all rights of property except as to
slavs.s, and except in certain cases whore legal
proceedings had been instituted, hut Upon tho
condition that such persons should take and
subscribe to an oath therein prescribed, which
oath should be registered for preservation.
And Whereas, In nud by the said last msn
tioned proclamation of the 29th day of May,
A. D. 1865, fourteen extensive classos of per
sons therein specially Ascribed were altogeth
er exoepted and excluded from the benefits
thereof. W,
And 'Wuereas, The President of the United
States did, on the 2d day of April, A. D._lßflfl,
iasuo a proclamation declaring that the insur
rcctiou was at an end, aud was thenceforth to
bo sq regarded.
And Wherias, There now exists no organi
zed armed resistance of misguided citizens or
others to the authority of the United States in
the States ot Georgia, South Carolina, Virgin
ia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama. Louis
iana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Florida, and Tex
as, and the laws can bo sustained and enforced
therein by the proper civil authority, State or
Federal, and the people of said States are well
and loyally disposed, and have conformed, or
if permitted to do so will, conform in their leg
islation to the condition of affairs growing out
of the amendment to the Constitution ot the
United States, prohibiting slavery within the
limits and jurisdiction of the United States.
And WHBitFAS, There no longer exists any
reasonable ground to apprehend within the
States which were involved in the late rebellion
any renewalthcrenf, or any unlawful resistance
by the people of said States to the Constitution
and laws or the United States. *
And Wiiuas, Large standing armies, mil
tary occupation, martial law, military tribu
nals, and the susperihion of the writ of habeas
corpus, and the right of trial by jury, are, in
time of peace, dangerous to public liberty, .in*
compatible mth the individual mghta of tho
citizen, contrary to the ganius and spirit of our
free institutions and exhaustive of t(ie national
resources, and ought not therefore to be sanc
tioned or allowed, except in cases of actual ne
cessity for repelling invasion or suppressing
insurrection or rebellion.
AndWherxas, A retaliative or vindictive
policy, attended by unnecessary disqualifica
tions, pains, penalties, confiscations and dis
franchisements, now, as always, could only tend
to binder reconciliation among the people, and
national restoration—while U must seriously
embarrass, obstruct and repress popular ener
gies and national industry and enterprise, •
And Whereas, For these reasons it is now
deemed essential to the public welfare, and to
the more perfect restoration of Constitutional
law and order, that the said last mentioned
proclamation, so as aforesaid issued on the
29th day of May, A. D. 1865, should be modi
fied, and that the full and beneficient pardon
conceded thereby should lie oppued and further
extended to a large iipmber of the persons,
wlm, by its aforesaid exceptions, have been
hitherto excluded from executive clemency :
Now, therefore, be it known that I. Andrew
Johnson, President of the United States, do
hereby proclaim and declare that the full par
don described in the said proclamation of the
29th day of May, A. D. 1865, shall henceforth
be opened nnd extended to all persons who
directly or indirectly participated in the late
rebellion, with the restoration of all privileges,
immunities, and rights of property, except as
to property with regard to slavery, and except
in cases of legal proceedings under the laws
of the United States, but upon this condition,
nevertheless, that every suen person who shall
geek to avail himself of this proclamation shall
take and subscribe the following oath, and
shall cause the same to be registered for per
manent preservation in the same manner and
with the same effect as with tho oath pre
scribed in the said proclamation of the 20th of
May, 1865, namely:
1 do solemnly swear, or affirm in the pres
ence of Almighty God, that I wifi henceforth
faithfully support, protect, and defend the
Constitution of the Uuited States, and the Un
ion of the States therennder, and that I will
in like manner abide bp and faithfully support
all laws and proclamations which have been
made during the rebellion, with reference to
the emancipation of slaves, so help me God.
The following persons, and no others, aro
excluded from the benefits of this proclamation,
and of the said proclamation of tho 29th day
of May, 1305, namely:
Ist. The chief, or pretended chief executive
oflioers, including the President, Vice Presi
dent, and all heads of departments of itio pre
tended Confederate, or rebel Government;
and all who were agents thereof in foreign
States or countries;- and all who held or pre
tended to hold, in the service of the said
pretended Confederate Government, a military
rank, or title, above the grade of Brigadier
General, or naval rank, or title, rbove that of

TnE Burkac to be Exposed.— Tho proof,
says the National Intelligencer, is being pre
pared to an amount of fraud and corruption
and gross abuse, for political purposes, of the
institution entitled The Ereedmens Burear,
that will astound the people, who, relying up
on the high character and Christian reputation
ol its chief, have been unwilling to believe that
his subordinates wore everywhere, not only
here, but wherever its ramifications extend,
making it tho pretext of wholesale frauds up
on both the tax payers of the country and upon
the freedmen thcmselvas, and using its ma
chinery and disbursing its appropriations for
the basoet partizan political purposes.

“Southern born men who'have deserted thoir
Country in the hour of distress, and joined

Federal Constitution and erect negro govern
ments over tha Southern States, complain and
whine no little wheat the hard names that are
applied to them. As well might a man who

Cdi-n and Cotton Prospects.
From a gentleman who has recently returned
from a trip to several of the counties in North
eastern Georgia, we learn that tho corn crop
in that section of our State is more abundant
than it has been for many years past, and that
corn may be purchased there at 25 cents per
bushel.
Wc lean also from another gentleman that
the grain crops in Southern Georgia are very
fino, but recently much damage has been done
the cotton crop by excessive rains, have
caused rust and rot to appear, and the blooms
o fall. From other parts of the State we have
the same intelligence in regard to cotton.— At.

The Latest News.
- Hanger, Sept. 10.
The result of the election in Maine yes
terday has astonished both parties. The
immense ReAiblican majority of last j ear,
which was fMOO, lia s been nearl Y if
not entirely overcome, and it will take
some (lavs certainly to determine whether
the radical candidate for Governor is
elected. The counties of York, Knox,
Lincoln, Washington and Aroostook have
certainly been gained by the Democrats,
and others are in doubt.

Heavy rain storm all day. One house

The heavy radical loss in Maine creates
intense excitement, lhe lower house,

is now claimed by that party. The great

A Miserable Picture. —A miserable
picture, even in the old times of slavery,
was a white man who had to work him
self, but was ashamed of it. To see a
felloW now, cleaning his bcott, and if lie
bears anybody coming, hiding the brush,
or to see a farmer working in the field,
but laying down his hoe at ti e approach
of his neighbor, is bad enough ; but not
so hopeless as one who prefers to suffer
than work even in secret. The man who
is not ashamed to say ; “I am poor and
have to work with my own hands,’’ and
the woman who is not ashamed toacknowl
edge that her husband is not rich and
that she has to cook ; these are the people
who are to revive our broken fortunes and
repair the ravages of war.
The Thomasville Enterprise of the 3d
ha3 very unfavorable accounts of the pres
ent prospect of the cotton crop in that
section. The late incessant rains have
done immense damage to the cotton, enur
ing it to run to weed instead of bearing
fruit while rust and caterpillars are alsb
ravaging the fields. Some gontlemen
say, their cotton crops are greatly damag
ed hv rain ami rust, while others dcc’are
that ’ll' 1 caterpillars are devouring every
thing.
A Severe Retort. —“ From the Boston

drunken inilor sit die helm could not
wreck the >lrip of Ft-dis; and perhaps,
too, to show that a bad President tffin be
removed with r 4 o more disturbance to the
nation than the dismissal of An awkward
footman to a well regulated family.”—
Perhaps Mr. Theodore Tilton :day have
