either the civil or military authorities, insist
on going on the bond, as an assurance to the

Dr. W. C. Smith on the Management of
the Whites.
The following precious document was picked
up in the streets of Columbus, Ga., and first
published in the Columbus Sun. It is genuine
and own'd by I)r. Smith, although its publication
astonished him. We reproduce it for the ben
efit of those whites who are very “tenderly”
dealt with. The inference is the blacks are
very docile and will remain in harness under
any kind of treatment. Read it, men of
Coweta.
Grantviixe, Ga., March 23d, 1SG8.
Col. J. E. Bryant:
Dear Sir—I write to inform you that it will
be utterly impossible for me to be at Columbus
on the 25th, as I am closely engaged in organ
izing for the coming campaign. We are work-
j ing here silently but efficiently, and we expect
! to speak out at the ballot box—a glorious tri-
umph over “so-called Democracy.” Bullock,
Edwards, &c., are all right. Everything is
working in a light direction. I think I shall
run for the Senate in my District, and think I
can keep it all 0. K. I have to deal very ten
derly with my white friends to keep them in
harness. Write me immediately.
Respectfully, W. C. Smith.
The Mass Meeting 1 in Newnan.
For some wrecks previous to the 11th of
April it was announced in the public prints
that there would, on Saturday, April 11th, be
a grand Conservative Mass Meeting held and a
free barbecue given in Newnan. As expected,
oq the evening preceding citizens in large
numbers from adjouning counties began to
arrive. Early Saturday morning every road
leading to Newnan was crowded with footmen
and every variety of vehicles, filled with men
and women, bound for this city. By 10 o'clock
the public square and streets were full to over
flowing. At 11 o’clock the Newnan Brass
Band discoursed some delightful music and led
the way to the grove around the Presbyterian
Church, where a stand had been erected for
the speakers. Ere long a multitude number
ing thousands had collected, when Col. W. F.
Wright introduced Col. John L. Hopkins, of
iUiauui, wuo proceeded to address the people.
Col. H. devoted his almost entire speech to the
history and trickery of Brown and Bullock, and
satisfied every impartial hearer that Bullock
was not the man for Governor of Georgia. lie
received a patient hearing, and time and again
was loudly and heartily cheered.
Col. M. M. Tidwell followed. This gentle
man made a characteristic speech, and sought
on 1 .}- to present Gen. Gordon to the voters of
Georgia in his true colors. His speech aroused
much latent enthusiasm, the multitude gave
vent to their delighted feelings in countless
ways.
Hon. Hugh Buchanan was introduced after
Col. Tidwell had concluded. This accomplish
ed gentleman and profound and able debater
dissected the Constitution and held up to the
gaze of the enchained thousands its horrid de
formity. Never were arguments clearer or
speaker more unanimously endorsed.
It was then announced that dinner was ready.

hi this, as in all cases of gross outrage, the
innocent are apt to suffer for the wrongs of the
guilty. The gentlemen whom I have named
are above suspicion as being in any way con
nected with the transaction; several of them
are men of family, and if public justice can
be satisfied, as I trust it can, by an examina
tion here without taking them from their fam
ilies, it is very desirable that it should be done.
An examination, I am sure, would acquit
them of any participation in the assassination.
They can give any bonds that may be required,
for their appearance, aud if you can influence
this matter, 1 hope you will consider it advi
sable to allow these gentlemen to be bailed,
until such time as their appearance may be
required.
To which Gen. Dunn, under date April 9th,
replies as follows: .
Dear Sir: Yours of the Tth inst,, was re
ceived this morning.
T am directed by Gen. Meade to reply that
Be does not deem it advisable to interfere with
the action of Capt. Mills.
While there is a determinatien here that the
parties who murdered Mr. Ashburn shall, if
possible, be arrested and punished, it is hoped
this may be accomplished without anv serious
inconvenience to the innocent.
Maj. Smythe, of this office, is now in Golutn-
bus, and I suggest that you confer with him
fully and freely.
The following is a copy of the Bail Bond,
which is signed by over three hundred per
sons, citizens of Columbus:
GEORGIA, Muscogee County.
Know all men by these presents : That we,
whose names are hereunder signed, are held
and bound to Gen. Geo. G. Meade, or his suc
cessor in office, in the penal sum of fifty thous
and dollars, for the payment whereof well aud
truly to be made to the said Gen. George G.
Meade,, or his successor in office, we hereby
bind ourselves, our heirs, executors and ad
ministrators, firmly by these presents.
Witness our hand and seal, this 10th day of
April, 1868.
The condition of the above obligation is
each that, whereas, Gen. Geo. G. Meade has

allhough disfranchised, and Georgians would t j eg j s Believed not a single white vote
will be polled for the Constitution, and
in many counties not one for Bullock.
I am now fully satisfied that the rumor
which prevailed at one time, that the
white people were willing to adopt a Con
stitution otherwise odious, because it con
tained a promise of “ Relief,” was always
false, and was originated as a miserable
Radical electioneering scheme, under the
hope that it would alarm the timid aud
weaken the resistance to the Constitution,
and that, by reason of the shoit canvass
allowed, the scheme would have its effect
before its falsehood could be exposed.—
Even if the relief proposed had beeu con
stitutional, the people have not been will
ing to accept it as a consideration for ne
gro equality, for negro suffrage, negro
juries, negro legislators and judges, lor
double taxes, and for the social, educa
tional and marital intermixture of the
white and black races. It is a slander
upon the white people of Georgia to say
they ever have been, or ever can be will
ing, for any consideration, real or pretend
ed; to join deluded negroes and corrupt
renegades in disfranchising educated
white men, and then to take advantage
of that disfranchisement and establish a
fundamental law which would enable
pauperism to fix the burdens for property,
and ignorance and vice to make and ad
minister the laws for intelligence and vir
tue. None but one who is in principle a
thief, and in purpose a traitor, could pos
sibly approve, or even entertain, such a
proposition, after understanding it.
But the white people have discovered
that the promise of relief is a cheat—was
intended to be a cheat—and solely de
signed to entrap them into the acceptance
of negro equality with ali its political and
social evils. As a natural consequence,
they are spurning the bribe and despis
ing its authors. The wicked men who
engaged in this attempt to deceive in or
der to degrade an already oppressed peo
ple, will soon find themselves driven from
ail decent society in the State. I find
this determination rapidly becoming uni
versal. A virtuous people will not only
reject a bribe aud scorn a cheat, but the
vindication of their virtue will render it
necessary for them to hold in contempt
and social disirm^e. tKoaa T^ho offer the

People of Georgia, you can now com
prehend, at one glance, the entire scheme
by which a Constitution which you hate,
is sought to be forced upon you, and that,
too, through the pretended forms of your
own consent. It consists of three chief
distinct propositions :
1. By enfranchising the whole negro
population without discrimination or ex
ception, and only because they are iguo-
raut and may be deluded and forced to
vote all one way.
2. By disfranchising over twenty thou
sand of the most intelligent white men in
the State. By refusing to permit white
men to vote on the Constitution under
which they are to live, and for no reason
except that they are distinguished for in
telligence, aud have been deemed worthy
of trust and confidence, and cannot, there
fore, be deceived or bribed.
3. By false promises of relief, intended
to buy up and entrap to the aid of the ne
gro a sufficient number of tbe remaining
white population to make sure the ac
complishment of the wicked purpose.
They may delude and force the negro
to their liking. By the aid of the bayo
net they will certainly exclude from the
polls the twenty thousand intelligent
white men. But even then they cannot
succeed. The remaining whites, whom
all their wicked cunning could not find a
pretext to exclude,jViitnuuiber the negroes.
Therefore, some of them must be bought
up and entrapped. How many white
men can be so bought and entrapped?
That is the whole question! Answer it.

Dr. Jas. R Thomasson, who is a ■ can
didate in Carroll County for Representa
tive, raised a Company in 1361, and went
as Capt. of the same into the army.
Last Summer lie stated publicly in
Carrollton that his sympathies were with
the North all the time, from the begin
ning, and he prayed that the North might
whip the South, and that he told his wife
the morning he left home for the seat of
War, that if she heard of any fighting in
the direction he was going, she need not
look for him until the war ended for if he
had to fight he intended to fight on the
other side.
Voters of Carroll, remember that this
man went into the army as a volunteer,
he was exempt from conscription. Now
-on you vnm Tor a man wno encouraged
your brothers and sons to join his eompa
ny, and go into the army, and at that
time intended in liis heart, to join the
enemy and turn around and shoot down
the very boys, he had persuaded to join
his company — as soon as he should have
an opportunity ?

The Radical leaders are filling the country
with all sorts of rumors and reports. Believe
none of them. Gen. Meade has not decided
that the officers elected under the proposed you can be bought up to aid the negroes
means employed to alarm, deceive, an
compel unwilling negroes to the polls.—
Allow none such to come upon your pre
mises, either now or hereafter, and let
them know they arc marked! If the
blacks are not forced to the polls against
their will, the Constitution will be defeat
ed fifty thousand votes, and the whole
blame of a contrary result must rest upon
those who force them. Theiefore, I re
peat, it is all important to mark this
class.
3. In the third place, if all other frauds
fail them, in the last resort,.another false
count is relied on. Also, false voters are
to be brought from adjacent States, and
many negroes are to be voted at different
precincts. It is even believed that tick
ets will be changed aud substituted, and
that the obnoxious word, “ Against,’ will
be erased and the word, “ For,” will be
written in its stead. The rewards which
arc to fall to some of the managers of
this election are so great, in the event ol
ratification and of Bullock's election, and
said managers, in many instances, are so
notoriously shrewd and corrupt that, no
device will be too low, if it can be made
successful.
Now, let all our friends be on the alert.
We can expose this fraud if again com
mitted, and we shall have some issues
which will compel full examination even
of the specific ballots and of the voters
who cast them. Be sure and know every
white man in each county who votes for
the Constitution, or for the New England
candidate for Governor. This will be an
easy task, for they will number but few.
People of Cherokee ! Next to the ne
groes, the chief reliance of the Radicals
is upon you. Among your hills they ex
pect to make their chief purchases for in
famy and find the chief dupes to their
villany. They have devised special’faise-
hoods to deceive you. In lower Georgia
the Radical speakers are giving the true
version of the Constitution, and are tell
ing the negroes who abound there that it
gives them the right to hold office and
enjoy perfect social equality. But it was
necessary to give a different and false
version to you. A ready deceiver was
fouud. The Belzebub of the fallen was
deemed eminently fitted for the work,
and chiefly so because he had deceived
you so often before. He was sent to tell
the white people of Cherokee that under
this Constitution negroes could not hold
office nor be entitled to social equality !
And while this falsehood still echoing in
yuur mountains, his Radical co-laborers,
in middle and lower Georgia, are actually
nominating negroes for office, until the
number in the field already exceeds fifty.
Special bids have been made to you. In
addition to the false promise of relief
made to ail, you are promised a removal
of the Capital. But I waru you, that if
! removed, ) - ou will have to pay the enorm
ous taxes to build it, for under negro rule
lower Georgia will become a vast lazer
huuse.
You are promised certain railroads
from Radical beneficence. But I warn
you, that you will not only not get the
Railroads promised, but under that ad
ministration of your State by a New
England Governor with negro votes, you
will be in great danger of losing the con
trol of the great road which Middle and
Lower Georgia built for your development.
| It will be a splendid work to buy with a
surplus falling currency, and Puritan
greed and cupidity have already marked
it for New England investment. The men
who are willing to betray your State gov
ernment into the hands of New England
rulers, will not hesitate to sell your great
road to New Englaud stockholders—
themselves taking a liberal share. The
people or Middle and Lower Georgia anx
iously wait to see if you can possibly be
induced to vote them under the dominion
of the negro. They do not believe it and
! will not until compelled.

Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: I have recentl-

and find it wonderfully efficacious. It'h„ •
failed in a single instance to have the wis .

the kind. I am free to confess that I know)
no remedy recommended by the ablest authors
that is so certain and speedy in its effects ijn
the contrary they are uncertain in the extreme.
My object in writing to you is to find outupo'
what terms I can get. the medicine directlj
from you. If I can get it upon easy terms, ’
shall use a g r eat deal ot it. [ am aivare ttu
the use ot such articles is contrary to the teach

or good sense in discarding a remedy which w

shall make it a rule to use all and any meat
to alleviate suffering humanity which I may l

P. S.—The following was writted April
1868, by Mrs. Jennie Johnson, mother of Caj
Johnson.
Dr. Bull—Dear Sir: My husband, Dr. C
Johnson was a skillful surgeon and physicj
in Central New York, where he died,

teen years of age he had a chronic diRR
and scrofula, for which I gave him yoursai-

recommended it to many in New York, tw
and Iowa, for scrofula, fever sores, and g- 0 ^
debility. Perfect success has attended it -
cures effected in some cases of scrofula and JW

The attempt to use the black race in
order to force upon the white race a hated
Constitution, is a crime blacker than any
recorded in the annals of barbarism, and
every white man who rebels against bis
o!ood to aid in the work, should be driv
en from the white race, as Lucifer was
driven from Heaven, into a social Hell
from which there shall be no return.
Net satisfied to rest the success cf their
proposed Constitution upon the three
odious measures above mentioned, the
Radical leaders iu Georgia are resorting
to numerous other fraudulent devices to
effect their purpose. To some of these I
desire to call your attention.
1. In the first plaee there are many of
the better class of negroes who see that
their true interests lie in acting with the
better class aud the great body of the
white race, and in their natural spheres.
These desire to vote the Democratic ticket
and against the Constitution. Bad ne-

went out and came in among you. He
won a glorious name in your defence.—
