THURSDAY APRIL 29. 1875,
-VOW IS THE MEED TIME
OF IDEAS.”
ll was the late lion. Linton Steph
ens. we believe, who, in bis great speech
in Augusta, iu 1871, early in the year
preceding the last Presidential cam
paign, said m reference to that cam
paign, then just opening: ‘ Now is
the seed time of ideas.” Ue meant
that the time had then couie for the
consideration and settlement of the
issues and principles upon which the
Democratic party should enter the then
approaching coutest. Judge Stephens
was the author, if we mistake not, of
the Georgia Platform of 1870. on which
the Democracy of the State achieved,
such an unexpected as well as glorious
triumph. It is hardly necessary to say
that in his Augusta speech lie urgid
the Democracy of the Union, as well as
of Georgia, to adhere to the same prin
ciples of their ancient creed as set forth
iu the Georgia Platform. We are re
minded of these incidents, and his
words at the head of this article, by
what we s e now in several of our ex
changes. We arc now just at that
point in rclaiion to the canvass of 1870.
where we then were in reference to the
ever memorable contest of 1872. As
it was proper then to consider and set
tie the principles and issues on which
the Democracy should enter the con
flict, so it is now.. The first great
question is, shall the “ philosophy ot
the Greeley movement ” be again sanc
tioned by the Democracy of Georgia?
Shall the party continue in its ‘-depar
ture ” from the fundamental principles
of its organization ? These are pet ti
ncnt questions and are now beginning
to be discussed iu the press of the
Slate. As yet wo have said nothing
upon the subject, not, however, because
we have not had decided convictions
upon tho matter, but from what*we
thought an unnecessary obtrusion of
our sentiments on these questions upon
the people, l’or we thought, that it
there was anything settled in the opin
ion of tho Democracy of Georgia, it
was that llie •* Greeley movement ” and
tho •* New Departure," - il..d was
i I fVAnre hut a m>w
uiL.ouJsi..a..p}-I,if/i dIY tins part of the
State, at least, it is well known that
every Democrat who voted fur Greeley
did so barely to adhere to pa ty organ
ization, and with a protest ag.inst the
principles of the new departure. In
deed, the .State Convention that agreed
to support Greeley as a choice of evils,
repudiated the principles ou which he
was uominuted and planted themselves
on their own platform of 1870. Now
shall the blunder of 1872 be repeated
in 1876 ? We say no. Against it we
uow enter our humble and solemn pro
test. “This is the seed time of ideas”
for tho consideration, di.-cussion and
settlement of this question by the De
mocracy not only of Georgia but of the
whole Union. L. t the i.-.-ucs bo openly
and luuarely met that uo map judg
meats be finally obtained by packed
conventions.
In this connection wc call special at
tention to an article on tho general -üb
ject from the Rome Courier, which we
publish in full in our is.-ue of to and ly.
One hundred years ago, every
body in the American colonies was
engaged in tnouldiug patriotic bul
lets and cleaning up rebellious old
muskets. To-day everybody is
engaged in making a living at the
expense of somebody else.

!“ Vo More Entanglements.”
I
[From the Rome Courier.]
The next Presi iential campaign is
oueofsuch great importance both to
the Democratic party and the country,
that we feel it to lie the duty of all
true Democrats thus early to protest
against any more political entangle
ments being attempted already to be
foisted on the party by the relics of
the great disaster of 1872. If we read
the signs of the times aright, the De
mocracy of the country propose to be
come the aggremive and not th*e d>fen
nice party in the npxt Presidential con
test. They do not intend to abandon
their name and organization merely t>
allow disaffected Republicans to belabor
each other, using the Democratic party
for that purpose. They expect to go
into that fight under none but their
own banner, relying upon the great
principles of the past and purer days
of tho Republic ill their appeals fo
popular support and final success. Upon
this line they now propose to invite all
liberal minded men to unite in the
overthrow of the corrupt party at pres
ent wielding Federal power. They fol
lowed tho Liberal Republicans to dis
astrous defeat in 1872. and now a-k
those who then took the lead to follow
them to success in 1876. We simply
propose to become the head of the col
umn and invite our Liberal friends t
show their sincerity by falling into the
ranks of the lovers of good government
The Memphis Appeal was one of the
most blatant papers in the South in be
half of the so-called Liberal mnyenient
of 1872; but the other day that jour
nal. alarmed at the efforts being made
by the relics of tho great disaster ot
1772. published an editorial headed,
“ 1 he mistake of 1872 must not be re
peated.” This has been eulogized by a
Mississippi paper, and approved by the
lowa papers. The Chattanooga Times,
edited by a Northern man, and a mosi
ardent supporter of the so cal ed Lib
eral movement in 1872, says: “We
want a distinctive line of polhy. Demo
eratie in tone and tendency, and il
Charles Francis Adams, and that class
of men can find a resting place for their
political hopes within the pale of* a
straight Democratic organization, they
will be gladly received and awarded
such prominence and recognition as
they are entitled to, but no more en
tanglements.” 'I lie Times emn lodes
tjjat "the natural place of the Liberal
racy, and they will go tjiere inevitably,
it the Democratic party presents an un
broken front and genuine evidence of
practical reform.”
Believing these t>> he the sentiment.-
of the great masses ...f the Deuioctaiic
party, it is with im ordinary pleasure
to us that the Courier is one among
the first to throw out tho banner of
true Democratic principles (or tire con.
lest of 1876, and that wc have kept it
alolt both in aud out of season, at all
times and under all circumstances.
Upon this line we are glad to clasp
hands with such papers as the Augusta
Constitutionalist, the Atlanta Vews
and the Washington Gazette, of our
own State. We hope to see othcV
come to tlie true standard, and not be
lead astray by the great mistake oi
Gen. Gordon and Mr. Lamar of Missis
sippi in the belief that tho Greeley phi
losnphy is our true line of policy.
These gentlemen are doubtless consci
entious. but great, men often commit
the greatest blunders an 1 precipitate
the greatest irreparable ruin upon
themselves and friends.
It is alone upon ‘‘a distinctive line of
policy. Democratic in tone and ten
deucy,’’ that wo can hope for success
against centralism aud empire. In
1868, Grant beat Seymour for I’resi
dent by a majority of only a little over
three hundred thousand of the popular
vote upon a Democratic platform, when
thousands of Democrats were disfran
chised, and only three years after the
war. In 1872, seven years after the
war, Grant beat Greeley on a Liberal
platform, over six hundred thousand
of the popular vote. After the cam
paign of 1868, the Democracy reduced
the Republican majority in the lower
House of Congress to forty or forty
five; in the campaign of 1872. that
majority went up to about a bundled
In the last Congressional elections, hav
ing' utterly ignored the Greeley phi
losophy, we find the Democracy with a
large majority in the lower House of
Congress and a majority ot the States
with Democratic Governors.
In the face of these facts, are wc
again to go back into the wallow of dis
graceful defeat by returning to the
Greeley philosophy merely to please
the whims oP a few so called Liberal
Republicans—thus driving off thou
sands of Democrats and gaining hut
few votes from the other side® Are
we to he thus misled again by those
who seem to have learned no wisdom
from sad and disgraceful experience in
the abandonment of p:inciples for the
sake of the moM disastrous and shame
ful expediency ? To such stultifiea-
tions and folly we enter, as an humble
exponent of Democracy, an earnest pro
test. Ifthcreisany manhood in the
Democracy, let it le shown. If the
party is worth prejerving as the custo
dian of public liberty. let us keep its
banner aloft with sound Democracy in
sciibed therein ! Let us keep free from
all entangling alliances that will only
lead us inevitably to defeat, disaster and
destruction.
