Grant nn<l Wilson.
The office-Imlders’ convention
which assembled in Philadelphia,
on the fifth of June, as will be
aeon by the despatches, nomi
nated Grant for re-election to tUc
Presidency, nnauiinoiia’.y. ColLx
w»i not so fortunate. He has been
*h lightered in the bouse of his
frii-mls. While w«; have no right
to a voice in the council of Kadi—
calisin, we rejoice that this narrow
minded fun.itic, who had been ele
vated to the second office in the
Government, has been laid upon
the shelf, we tmst, forever. A
man who, as Vice President of the
United Stales, could let himself
down so low :t» to wiite n letter
to a ficc negro delegation of the
District of .Columbia, that the
“Constitution was a farce and the
Government a failure,” because a
negro delegation to New Orleans
could not force themselves into
tiic In teis with white people of
the South, has an inadequate idea
of the high responsibility resting
upon him and deserves to be qttief
ly retired “nnlmnoied and un
sung." We do not know that Henry
Wilson, of Massachusetts, who
w as nominated for the Vice Pres
idency on the Grant ticket, is any
better—we are satisfied he can be
no worst*.
This Con vent ion offers no com
promise- to the South, and the de
feat of Colfax did not result from
his ullru Uadical views, blit the
defection of Sumner and the prob
able influence which lie might
exert in Massachusetts, rendered
it necessary that some steps should
betaken to iicuiialize Ids influence
* iit that Slate.
Four years ago tin* Republican
party put Grant ami Colfax in the
flsld at Chicago; a d Grant in his
letter of accept a net offered the
olive branch to the South, then
trodden under the heel of military
despoiLm, by bin appeal to “let us
have peace.*’ The country breath
ed freer The General who hud
brought the war t • a ch>»t —who
had displayed the magnanimity to
refuse the Southern chieftain’s
awOrd, as the candidate of the
dominant patty, had turned back
from the war path.
He was placed at the head of
the Government and for four long,
weary years we have experienced
what Grant understands by peace.
It is that peace which Cuba en
joys Under Spain, licland under
Kngland and Poland under Husain.
We can have peace if wo will
throw up our hats and Bay, “God
save the King,” when the Consti
tution is disregarded, and the civil
law made subordinate to the mil
itary ; when a great centralized
Government is crushing out the
rights of the States and absorb
ing the pow.-r conferred upon
them; when we quietly ace our
substance taken by the tax gath
erer lu make rich the pampered
favorilex of u President. But when
we raise our voice for the enforce
ment of the Constitution and local
self-government, then we are
•'unrepentant rebels, ’’ and must be
reconstructed. Ku Klnx laws,
enforcement acta, and civil light
bills are passed and enforced by
the Federal Judiciary, backed by
the military power of the Govern
ment. If, like a whipped spaniel,
we will lick the hand that smites
us, then all is peace, but if we
dare maintain our rights, then we
must feel the i od.
The nomination of Grant means
nn unqualified endorsement of his
administration by his parry; It in
election is an endorsement ly the
nation, and a license to further
usurpation. Already has the ses
sion of Congress been prolonged
in order to enable the administra
tion to get an extension of the Ku
Klnx law’, and the passage of an
act to have a Federal inspector at
each ballot box.
The time lias arrived when the
people may repudiate at the bal
lot but ail administration which
uses the military power of the
Government to crush the lit city
»»f the people, while* the national
honor is being compromised by
blundering diplomacy.
Let the South be united mid
stand prepared to strike one hon
est blow for the Constitution and

The roll shall be culled on nomina

The five minute rule was adopted.
The resolutions were refitted to
the Gommutee on Resolution* with

The proceedings^ldle wailing for
the report of the Platform Commit
tee, were somewhat incoherent. The
blacks and w lutes contended for the
rostrum.
I’ltraism ami Grant provoked
equal applause.
'The rules were suspended and
Grant nominated.
The shifting scene disclosing Grant’s
picture provoked much noise.
The vote for Giant was unanimous.
In casting tho voles of their delega
lions, each Chairman made a little
speech which was received w ith great
good humor. 'The following is not
among the most extravagant :

when the nomination was announced.
After the burly burly had subsided,
a motion w.«s made lo suspend the

Pennsylvania nominated Wilson,
and Mas>aclimelts seconded the nom

Indiana nominated Colfax and
Michigan seconded the nomination.
Mississippi also seconded the nomiiia
tion—Lynch (colored) saving,it seem
ed to him as if the spirit of Lincoln
was hero, and he remembered what
that patriot said, on one occasion,
when he said it was not a safe lime
to swap horses
The proceedings were here inter
rupted by the entrance of the plat
form Committee, who reported, in
etfoct, as follows :
IHE ULATFORM
The resolutions speak of the groat
courage of, and the duties poiformed
by the Republican party, in suppies
sing the rebellion; emancipating the
slaves ; enforcing the laws ; develop
ing the internal resources of the
country ; eiicomaging and pioiuot
ing emancipation ; collecting the rev
enues and reducing the uatioual
debt ; and express the belief that the
country will not entrust the govern
ment to any party, <>r combination,
composed chiefly of these who have
resisted every step of ibis beneficial
progress.
They hold that the recent amend
ments lo the Constitution must bo
sustMiiied and carried out; that an
honoralde peace, with foieign nations,
should bo maintained ; that the civil
soi vice should be performed ; that no
further grants of public lands shou d
be made to c orporations; that the
Revenue should be such as to furnish
a moderate balance to be applied lo
the reduction of the public debt, and
the revenue, except such as is raised
; from tobacco and spirits, ahould be
\ raised by duties oil 'mports, which
| duties should be adjusted, so as to
aid in securing remunerative wages
1 to labor, and promoting the indus-
I tries, prosperity, and growth of the
whole country.
They declare that the future boun
1 ty ot the Government should be ex
tended to the soldiers and sailors of
j the late war; that the flanking priv
ilege should bo abol.slied and postage
reduced; that the relations of labor
: aud capital should he recognized and
■ protected; that the public credit
1 must le preserved, and that specie
j payments should he resumed ; that
claims for woman-suffrage should be
! treated with respectful consideration.
T he amnesty action of Congress is
approved; also its anti Ku Klux
legislation. Rights reserved to the
States must be respected, and, finally,

I patriotism, earnest purpose*, sound
I judgment, and especial wiadeu* of

Stone Mountain, Ga., I
_ June 5, 1872. j
Mr. Edit or : Of late yeats there is,
in our mrdat, a notable alteration tak
ing place in the mode of cultivating
fieid ct ops. 'i bis is more particularly
observable amongst our best farmers
who, like all other men of enterprise,
endeavor, by experience and obser
vation, as well as by reading, to keep
themselves posted upon a.I matteis
calculated to enhance their interest.
Labor-saving machines and agricul
tural implements, of various kind*, of
the latest at d must improved pat
terns, are being rapidly iutioduced to
use. With these one hand is ena
bled lu do the same amount of work,
with equal if not greater fac.lity, that
it would requite two or three with
out them. Labor is the equivalent
of money ; and a . onsitlerable saving
is thereby realized in the course of a
tear. Resides, farmers are learning
that by deep plowing—irom eight to
twelve inches—thoroughly pulveriz
ing the soil, when the earth is mel
low and friable by the chemical ac
tion produced by the winter frosts
and freezes that lot only e;r-y work
ings are experienced during tho grow
ing season, when hot and otteu dry,
hut the land absorbs more freely the
piod net be elements contained in the
atmosphere; and there is always a
large increase in the average yield.
That man’s patience is not worthy of
praise, nor would 1 say his economy
worthy of emulation, who, with 4
means at hand, is contented to at
tempt driving fuiwaid his plantation
work with old, blunt edged axes,
worn off at the corners ; iron scrub
hoes, battered up on the edges; and
old noti-descript pieces of iron, patch
ed and re patched, body welded, and
hammered out at the forge in un
couthly shapes, named plows. Such
implements represent a people who
have little taste for improvement in
the tillage of the s il ; they are
whoiiy in the rear of the advance
ment of the age. I atn well assured
that every man, who attempts to cul
tivate the soil, and expects to realizi
profits from such business, whether
possessed of much or little means,
whether his land is licit or poor, can
not do better than to supply himself
with the very best implements of
husbandry in mat kef, essential to the
business. Sorry implements never
pay. They cost much drudgery aud
vexation to say the least.
While there is such a magnanimous
spirit of enterprise and reform man
ifested by our farmers in many par
ticulars— by scrutinizing every prin
ciple according to the inherent laws
of nature; by encouraging and sos
taring agricultural and scientific pub
lications of merit—it is a matter of
some regret that tho spirit of reform
docs not extend far enough s-> as to
embrace the old stereotyped method
of planting all cotton, and little or t o
coin, and other ptovision crops. —
This evil (as such it must he consid
ered in the light of reason) very se
riously effects the prosperity of the
country. The man who plauts his
entire acreage in cotton in exclusion
of ptovision crops, relying onTmy
ing his necessary supplies and prov
ender for his stock, with the expec
tation of realizing profits in the end,
makes a suicidal mistake; he who
does the same to clear himself of
debt, will, nine cases out of ten, never
extricate himself and keep up his
farm, but will find himself deeper in
volved each succeeding vonr. The
surest basis for profits on a fat in is to
raise all the necessary supplies there
on, and then such other crops as may
! be in active demand in market, which
I will be a clear income. This is the
surest method. To his well filled
granaries the farmer must ever look
as the base of all his operations in
realizing incomes, riiese supplies
are as needful as water, coal and
wood to the steam engine. Keep
your supplies, therefore, in storej;
don’t let your train stop and incur
heavy expenses.
In connection with the inordinate
lore for planting neary all cotton,
there may he mentioned the unre
strained folly of purchasing so exten
sively artificial fertilizers. Arguments
I apprehend would do little to dis
suade men frem this particular error,
since they have imbibed the idea that
without guano there can be no cot
ton. The lesson of dire experience,
however, will, sooner or later, teach
the folly of such a course. It may
be a lesson, too, to be long remem
bered when wo reflect that there are
few farms free from a mortgage for
the purchase of these manures.
Let the farmer who desires to be
independent in his vocation, and bo
kept free from want, use every exer
tion to raise his own supplies; let
him thoroughly cultivate his land
with the best implements he can pro
cure; let him also make and save all
the manure he can about ins farm
and liberally apply it, sow clover and
other grasses; aud if lie plods his
way slowly, lie will be gradually
taking steadfast footiug lo the emi
nence of prosperity.

Gratz Brown’s Response.
Sr. Louis, June 1. ln reply to the
notification of his nomination as Vice
President by the Cincinnati Conven
tion, Gov. Brown makes the follow
ing response :
Executive Office, )
Jefferson City, May 31, 1872. f
Gentlemen —Your letter advising
me of the action of the Liberal Re
publican Convention at Cincinnati
has been received, aid l return
through you my acknowledgement
of the hottqr which has been confer
red upon me. I accept the nomitia
tion as a candidate for Vice Presi
dent, and endorse most cordially the
resolutions setting forth the princi
ples on which the appeal is made to
tho whole people of the United
States. Wearied with the conten
tions that are carried on in the pursuit
for spoils, the country demands re
pose, and resents the effort of officials
to dragoon it again into partizan hos
tilities. 1 will zealously sustain any
movement promising a sure deliver
ance of the perils which have been
connected with the war.
It is safe to sav that only those are
now to be feared which come of an
abuse of victory iuto permanent es
trangement. A widespread sympa
thy is aroused in behalf of those
States of the South, which, long after
the termination of resistance to the
rightful Federal authority, are still
plundered under the guise of loyalty,
and tyranizeJ over in the name of
freedom. Along with this feeling is
present, too, the recognition that in
complete amnesty alone can he found
the hope ol any return to constitu
tional government as of ol J, or any
development of a more enduring util
ity and broader national life in the
future. Amnesty, however, to he
efficacious, must bo real, not nom
inal, not evasive, but must carry
along with it equal rights as well as
equal protection to ail, for the re
moval of disabilities as to some with
enforcement as to others, leaves rea
son for suspicion that pardor. is
measured by political gain, and espe
cially will such preferred clemency
be futile in the paesence of a renew
ed attempt at prolonging a suspend
sion of the habeas corpus ; in the
persistent resort to marshal, rather
than civil law ; in upholding those
agencies used to alienate the races
where concord is most essential; and
in preparing another elaborate cam •
paigu on the basis of dead issues and
arbitrary intervention ; all will tight
ly credit such conduct as but a mock
ery of amnesty, and demand an Ad
ministration which can give a better
warrant of honesty in the great work
of reconstruction and reform,
Without referring in delai! to the
vatious other positions embodied in
tho resolutions of the Convention,
hut seeing how these all contemplate
a restoration of power to the people,
peace to the nation, pmity to the
Government ; that they condemn the
attem t to establish an ascendency
of military over civil rule, and affirm
with explicitness the m lintenartce of
equal freedom to all citizens, irre
spective of race, previous condition
or pending disabilities, I have only to
pledge again my sincereco operation.
I am, etc., yours,
[Signed] B Gbatz BroXV.v..
The following resolutions, among
other*, were adopted by the Democ
racy of Clark county :
Resolved, That the civil should be
paramount to the military authority,
and that the right to the great writ
of habeas corpus is a right that no
free people can surrender and at the
same lime mainlaiu personal or po
litical liberty.
Resolved, That the Democratic
party of Georgia should maintain
its organization and put forth its
platform of principles, aud send
proper representatives to the Balti
more Convention, to act in concert
with the representatives of all the
other States.
Resolved, That in our opinion it
would best secure our rights to nom
iuate candidates of our own for Pres
ident and Vice President, even if, as
a matter of policy, it became neces
sary to leave the electoral colleges
free to decide between Grant and
Greeley, as a choice of evils, making
the best choic* for ourselves which
tlie circumstances of the case would
permit.
Resolved, That while this is our
opinion, we leave our delegates free
lo act iu their discretion for the best
inteiests of the country. —Athens

Trophies of the Liberal Move
ment.
1* Amnesty’.
2. Defeat of the Senate bill ex
tending the Ku-Klux bill and sus
pension of habeas corpus till the
end of the next session of Con
gress —94 to 108.
3. Defeat of the Senate Supple
mental Civil Rights (social equal
ity) bill—ll 3 yeas, 83 nays. Two
thirds required.
4. Pending proceedings in the
courts for alleged violations of the
14th Amendment to be discontin
ued.
5. The withdrawal of Federal
troops from the town of Warren
ton, in this State, upon the demand
of Governor Smith.
These achievements are clearly
and directly traceable to Greeley’s
Liberal movement, and if he ac
complishes nothing more, these
trophies will redeem him. —Albany

Gen. James Chesnut on the Sit
uation. — General James Chesnut, of
South Carolina, iu a letter addressed
to the Democrats of Kershaw county,
says that he has great faith in the
Cincinnati movement, lie does not
believe that the' Democratic party,
pure and simple, can restore consti
tutional government, and he sees
nothing in the avowed purpose of the
Liberal Republican parly that he
should object to. Mr. Greeley he
looks upon as the symbol of peace in
the land, purity in the government
and prosperity among the people;
also, as the symbol of the restoiation
of law and liberty, with equal rights
and protection to all. He earnestly
favors Democratic representation
fiom his State in the Baltimore Con
vention, and believes that the success
of the Liberal movement will have
great and beneficial effect upon the
welfare of South Carolina. — Chroni
