1st. The immediate restorat ion of all the States
to their rights in the Union under the Constitu
tion, and of civil government to the American
people. *
2d. Amnesty for all past political offenses, and
the regulation of ilie elective franchise in the
States by the citizens, and the payment ol the
public debt of the United States as rapidly as
practicable.
yd. All money drawn from the people by taxa
tion, except so much as is requisite tor the neces
sities of lue Government economically adminis
tered, to be honestly applied to such payment,
and, where the obligations of the Government,
do not oxpressiy state upon then face, or the law
under which they were issued does not provide
that they shall bo paid in coin, they ought in
right and justice to be paid in the lawlul money
of the United States.
4th. Equal taxation of every species of prop
erty, according to its real value, including Gov
ernment bonds and other public securities.
5th. One currency for the Government and tlie
people, the laborer and the office-holder, tiie
pensioner and the soldier, the producer and the
bond-holder.
(itli. Economy in the administration of the
Government; the reduction oi the standing army
and navy; tho abolishment of the Freeumens
Bureau, and all political instrumentalities de
signed to secure negro supremacy ; the simplifi
cation of the system and discontinuance ot the
inquisitorial boards ot assessing and collecting
internal revenue, so that the burden oi taxation
maj be equalized and lessened, the credit ol ilie
Government and the currency made good, the
repeal of all enactments lor enrolling ilie State
militia into national forces in tune oi peace, and
a tariff for revenue upon forign imports, and such
equal taxation under the internal revenue laws
as will afford incidental protection to domestic
manufactures, and as will, without impairing the
revenue, impose the least burden upon and best
promote and encourage the great industrial in
terests ol the country.
7 th. The reform-of abuses in the administra
tion, the expulsion of corrupt men from office,
the abrogation of useless.offices, the restoration
of rightful authority to and the independence ol
the Executive and Judiciary Departments ot the ,
Government, the subordination of tin military
t-o the civil power, to tlie end that the usurpa
tions ol Congress and the despotism oi the sword j

and native-horn citizens at home and abroad.
Tho assertion of American nationality, which I
shall command the respect ot foreign powers,

struggling for national integrity, constitutional
liberty, and individual rights, and the mainten-
anee of the rights ot naturalized citizens against
the absolute doctrines of immutable allegiance,

every Whig President Charleston made no |
complaint of inability to protect herself, nor i
sent any messenger to the Federal Capitol to ‘
make appeal to the Executive for protection
of the city. On the contrary, Charleston was,
prosperous, happy, and her citizens contented
and feared no evil. Tlie same things are true
of the city under Democratic Presidents.—
Hence it is evident that some other party other
than the Whig or Democratic party is respon
sible for the unfortunate condition of Charles
ton and her citizens. M hat party is it? W e
answer undoubtingly the Radical party.
We charge this crime, upon radicalism be
cause of its attempt to reverse nature s law by
placing the ignorant and barbarous over the
intelligent and civilized ; because it lias arous
ed the prejudice of the negro race against the
white race ; because it has violated the Consti
tution of the United States in making those
voters in the States who were not voters before;
because it has encouraged negro insolence, and j
In this connection we would enquire if there
is not some man of enlarged financial views
who can suggest some just and safe plan by
which sufficient funds can ba raised for the
early completion, of the road to th’.s point ?—
The road is a great public necessity, and will
he built sooner or later; hut the interests of
Newnan and Western Georgia demands its
speedy completion. We have no faith in Mr.
Scroggin’s bill to lend the credit of the State
to the company, because we think the measure
will be defeated, and if it should not be.it
would not avail much, for the State just now
has but little credit and no money.
The subject of completing the road should
be agitated again, and the farmers of tlie coun
try who will harvest paying crops this Fall,
urged to invest a portion of the proceeds of
the sale of their cotton in the stock of the
road.

Grafton is a hot, dry, dusty, spot, surround
ed bv mountains, rocks, steeps and rough-.
Near it is a Federal cemetery, and judging
from its head-boards we concluded that some
body had been playing havoc with V.nkee
soldiers. We well remember the 1st Georgia
Regiment was up in this region—that Mushy
and Imboden had penetrated many hidden

more and U iio R tilroad. And they succeeded
well in finding it. The conductor on our train

We rive this personal history of Maj. Man- ;
ker for the reason that his convictions of duty
has led him to make an expose of the personal
expanses of Congress, and it presents a most
damning record of the party that claims to
represent the moral sentitnent of the country.

i r-sted iu o.ir public expenditures. Every man
: out of office who lias to pay a share of these
'expenses by his daily toil is' trying to measure
lit? weight and duration of the burden. It j
seems bv the acknowledgment of the Republi-
i can party that it is to continue with us for at
j least forty years. Laborers and producers,

has looked to securing votes for the Radical
party rather than to the advancement of the ;
interests of the country.
The condition of Charleston is only addition- !
al evidence of the designs <d tlie Radical party
upon the prosperity of the South. The com- j
plaint of negro outrages in numberless locali- !
ties in the South, fasten the conviction upon
the minds of impartial men that radicalism is ,
seeking to provoke riots and bloodshed, with ;
the final intention of making these ten States
a pandemonium and society intolerable for
the whites; because thereby the country, from
the Potomac to the Rio Grande, will fall under
negro rule. That the Radicals thus intend it
seems to us tlmre can lie no doubt.
Now. we ask. how is it possible for a white
man, a native or resident of these States, to
cast his vote for the candidates of a party en
tertaining such wicked designs upon his coun
try and countrymen ? How is it possible for a
