JOB EBPBESENTATIVE OF THE THIRD CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, HUGH BUCHANAN, Of Coweta, Iff 5 Hon. George H.

Indeed, and in truth, has the time come, when the loyalists of Geor gia are ashamed of South Carolina loyalists ? We thought we had a very had type of Radi calism in this State, hut it seems that our sis ter State has a far worse one. God pity South Carolina. Georgia’s Credit. Efforts to borrow money on the credit of the State of Georgia has been replied to as fol lows : Nr.w York, September 16. Bank Cashier, Atlanta, Ga.: The negotiation proposed is one that, in hap pier and calmer times, we should have been glad to have entertained ; but in the present state of things, political and commercial, our Board is adverse to taking risks out of the pale of ordinary •mercantile transactions. [Signed.] J. L. Worth, Cashier National Park Bank. This brief note tells us of Georgia’s shame. The time, yes, the time was when this noble Commonwealth was ruled by white men, her true, native and adopted sons, that her credit was good—above par, but now, under Radical reconstruction, under a Radical, yankee Gov ernor, under the threatened lule of the negro, Bhe has no credit! Why is this true ? Because capitalists know that such rulers will bankrupt her people, and render them unable to pay the debts of the State, Ye men, who told the voters of Georgia, vote for reconstruction, and the credit of the State would be good ; many immigrants would pour into our borders, and the blessed days of the past would be upon us again ; where’s the pro mised credit?—where are the immigrants?— where is the capital ? Shame upon you, be cause of this practiced deception. Look at Georgia under the reconstruction you urged ! It is the first time, in the history of the State, that she failed, on application, to borrow money, and Georgians know it is likewise the first time 6he ever had a Radical Governor or Senate. Let Them Howl! Cast the Beam out of Your own Eyes. The hypocritical Northern Radicals never wea ry in declaiming against Southern lawlessness and Southern disregard of private rights, and Southern riots. To hear them talk, might cause the belief that they were saiuts, who had nev er done a wrong, committed a trespass upon private rights, or engaged in a riot. Oh I no, they deprecate such things so much that you might think they had never gutted newspaper offices, arrested their neighbors without war rant or authority, and exiled them from their homes—that they had never denied public journals of opposite politics, transmission by mail, that they had nevtr hung men and wo men by drumhead Courts-martial, and trans ported free American citizens to isles in the Mexican Gulf, and put them to the torture at pleasure, that they had never insulted promi nent men of opposing political views. Yes, of all of thesd things you might, from their talk, think them innocent, if you did not know they were guilty of their commission. The reader, during the years of the war, well remember that Radical mobs destroyed over sixty Democratic newspaper offices ; that their party arrested Mr. Vallandingham at his own home, and without lawful authority, and in violation of his Constitutional rights exiled him; that the fearless leaders of this sarofe par ty were then, and are to this hour, insulted wherever it could or can be done with impu nity ; that Mrs. Surratt, and others, were hung without a legal trial: that Mudd, Spangler and others, were likewise transported to the Dry Tortuga?, put to menial labor and tortured at the will of an irresponsible military officer; yea, that in Georgia, in the year 1868, by the order and command of General George G. Meade, a Radical, white men and black men were arrested without warrant, imprisoned without warrant, confined in sweat-boxes and suffocating cells without warrant—many of them placed on trial without warrant, subjected to insults and indignities without warrant. Ah, all of these things, and many more like black offenses and crimes, do our readers rememberto have been perpetrated by this hypocritical par ty. Yet, in the face of day, in the presence of man and God, this same party covered all with blood and wrongs, ha3 the effrontry to stand up and taunt the white people of the South with lawlessness. Was there ever before an exhibition of such impudence? But, perhaps it may be right to rob, exile and murder white men, but nil wrong for the white men of the South to shoot or kill negroes in defense of the lives of themselves and wives. It may have come to this, that the Christian (?) North glories in sheddiugthe blood of their neighbors, but think it criminal to slay a bru tal, assaulting African. If it is so, we cannot change it, but can and do despise such villainy, and advise these canting sconndrels to remove the beams from their own eyes before they at tempt to pluck the mote from our eyes. Special Dispatch to the Louisville Democrat. The Greatest Political Demonstration of the Campaign! Indianapolis Ablaze with Democratic Enthusiasm! ONE HUNDRERD THOUSAND PATRIOTS IN «* COUNCIL. Indianapolis, Sept. 23. The great Democratic demonstration to day in Indianapolis eclipsed anything of the kind ever witnessed in the United States. One hundred thousand persons are in the city. The procession was twenty miles in length. Twelve thousand and sixty men reported themselves for du ty as late as 5 o’clock, having arrived too late to join the procession. The torchlight procession to-night is the grandest sight ever witnessed in the State. Gen. F. P. Blair and Hon. George II. Pendleton spoke to day. Not one of ten of the vast audience could approach the speaker’s stand in sufficient distance to hear the remarks of the speakers. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed during the speaking. The State House square was filled to its utmost capacity. It is estimat ed that on Washington street thousands of people were moving continually from 2 to 6 o’clock. What right have the New England Puritans to interfere in the affairs of Georgia and her Southern sisters ? If the white citizens of these States do without warrant or law, without right or justice, without provocation or insult, kill, yea, murder in cold blood, if you please, a few or many negroes, what right have these canting, intermeddling Puritans to say a word about it ? Who gave them any right to howl over our mis doings ? Who made them responsible for our sins? Who informed them that conferring suf frage upon the blacks would cause these mur ders (we place the case in its strongest light) to cease ? What mystic power is thero belong ing to the ballot, that stops or turns the bullet, or blunts the blade of the white man ? We re peat, if we do wrong, why should New Eng land citizens take it upon themselves to cor rect the wrong ? No, the Puritans are, in our case, only de veloping their hellish instincts. From the days they were spewed out of British society, to this evil hour, these mouthiug, canting, witch burning hypocrites have, on every occasion, in which they could do so, without subjecting their head#to the cudgel, interfered with the affairs of others. It is high time these breed ers of quarrels and wars were taught to mind their own affairs. They are not the masters of the white man, if they are of the negroes of the South, and if they raise a howl, why, we say, just let them howl themselves hoarse, and repeat the opera tion daily, until Old Nic gives them a fresh start in his dominions down below. These burners of old women, and these hangers of middle-aged mothers, are just happy enough when they see the Southern whites tremble when they frown. Frown on and howl on, say we, to your hearts' content. We advise the white men of Georgia to do right, and if it be comes necessary, in defense of life, liberty or property, to kill an outlaw, black or white, why just kill him and disregard the howls of these sanctimonious wrethes as you would those of beasts. The Hon. W. H. F. Hall, of Merriwheth- er County. We take great pleasure in stating that the Hon. W. H. F. Hall, at present member of the House of Representatives of the Legislature of the State—“a gen tleman and a scholar ;” “native and to the manor born ;” a graduate of the Uni versity of Virginia; a member of the le gal profession in this State; that noblest work of God, “an honest man” and most excellent citizen; has declared, and has authorized Us to declare that he endorses the nomination of the Hon. Hugh Buc hanan as the Democratic candidate for Congress in the Third Congressional Dis trict ; and that he will not only support his election, but will advocate and sup port the election of Seymour and Blair for President and Vice President of the United States.—Atlanta Intelligencer 30/A. We were not at all surprised on the pe rusal of the above, Mr. Hall is too pure and good a man to vote otherwise. As an evidence of Mr. Buchanan’s pop ularity, we will add that Hon. F. M. Scrog- gin, one of the Representatives from this County, is volutarily pledged to the sup port of Mr. Buchanan. The truth is, nearly all the whites and many of the ne groes in this section, will take pleasure in voting for Mr. Buchanan. Seymour and Blair, will receive almost as many votes We have been informed that Hon. P. Sewell, the other Coweta Representative, also endorses Mr. Buchauan’s nomination. Special Dispatch to the Louisville Jour. Indianapolis, Sept. 23. The Democratic meeting here to-day was the grandest display made since the Douglas campaign of 1860. Over 15, 000 men were in line of march. The procession represented, first, a company of cavalry as an advance guard : second, the “White Boys in Blue,” including cavalry, artillery and infantry ; third in vited guests in carriages ; fourth, delega tions and organizations from the several Congressional Districts. The displays of the delegations were made up as usual, with wagons tastefully trimmed and filled with girls, work shops on wheels with mechanics apparently pursuing their usual avocations, and with innumerable banners, mottoes and burlesques. The whole procession presented a very im posing aspect. After making a display up Washing ton street, they moved to the State House yard, where several stands had been erect ed for speakers for the past few years.— Indianapolis has been noted as a rallying ground for all political parties, its cen tral location and railroad facilities giving it an advantage over any other place in the State. The Democracy of the State are determined not to be outdone by the late demonstration of their Republican neighbors, and spared no efforts to bring together a crowd which, in point of num bers and enthusiasm, would be unequalled by any display yet made during the cam paign. Of the eight or nine railroad en tering in here, each seems to have vied with the others in trying to bring the largest number, and a close estimate of the number arriving by railroads alone is set down at 70,000 persons. Speeches were made by Hon. George H. Pendleton, Hon. Jerry Black, and Gen. Frank P. Blair. The speeches of the two former were not unlike their form er efforts. The speech of the Democratic nominee for Vice-Presidency—which was tljLe feature of the occasion—was a master piece. It may be jregarded as the pro- nunciamento of the canvass, and was re ceived with the wildest enthusiasm. Democratic Convention : Dear Sir—In consequence of a some what prolonged absence from my home, I have only today recieved your letter in forming me that the Convention over which you had tbe honor to preside, se lected me to be their candidate for the of fice of Governor of the Commonwealth at the approaching election. I am very sen sible of the compliment thus, for the sec ond time, offered to me, and although I should have preferred a less conspicuous service, I accept the nomination as frank ly and heartily as it was given. I have carefully examined the resolutions adopt ed by the Convention, and I should per haps content myself with simply assuring you that I find nothing in them to which [ cannot subscribe, but as I may not have another opportunity, I wish to state niy own views a little in detail. I am glad that you have determined to require a “rigid parsimony” in the expenditure of the people’s money. This in a nation as deeply indebted and as heavily taxed as ours is but common honesty to the public creditor, and mere humanity to the groan ing tax-payers. Every 7 dollar not absolute ly r. quired for the legitimate and neces sary expeuses of Government and for meeting our obligations in the fullest good faith should be left in the pockets of the people. As to the License law, our pro hibitory friends in the last Legislature used to declare that they cared very little what kind of a law was passed, as in the Presidential election the License law Re publicans would not dare to bolt the reg ular nominations, and those they could control. I suppose, .therefore, that the success of their ticket will be equivalent to a return to the Prohibitory law, with its attendant Constabulary. I think that there are two matters of national interest involved in this election, one of which is important, the ether vital. The former, which I take to be the financial question, was not treated by the National Conven tion in New York in a .manner which sat isfied my judgment. By providing for a payment of the bonds’-fenown as 5 20s by surplus revenue alone,-thus ignoring what seems to me the valuable part of Mr. Pen dleton’s plan, a withdiawal of the issues of the National Banks,- the Democratic party appeared to commit themselves to an indefinite extension of the intolerable nuisance of an irredeemable paper curren cy. I am too much of a Democrat to re gard any such prospectjwith patience. I believe in hard money, and therein I hold myself to be a true Jacksonian Democrat. This dishonored paper which we are all compelled, as I think, unconstitutionally to accept as money, is not only a standing disgrace to the nation, but it is destroying the ancient habits of economy aud thrift, and undermining our old-fashioned honest ideas by the constant spectacle and exam ple of an insolvent Government. It lays upon the poor man a butden heavier than he can bear. It injures trade, commerce and all productive industry each year more than the whole sum of doubtful gain which might accrue from canceling our dv.bts by promises to pay which we do not redeem. If persisted in, I think it must result in repudiation and bankruptcy. In that event, the responsibility will rest primari ly with the party which made the notes and then refused, when they had the pow er, to make them good, and Dext with the Democracy if they are tempted to follow that bad lead. It is with peculiar pleasure, therefore, that I read your tfcmand for a sound and honest currency. But even if I differed with you on this subject, and saw any re lief in the party chi^flj^ responsible, for our present deplorable hpancial.condition l regard the second or Yital question of such moment, that my political action would be governed by the attitude of the opposing partiesdtf reference te that alone.

It was re tempt to suberdinate the trained and able! marked by an eloquent writer, that the class of landholders at the South to the poor, ignorant, debased and landless freed- man, is one of those futile struggles to re peal God’s law by statute, with which his tory abounds. It must fail, but it is of great moment that it should be stopped at once. Every day it lasts it is encourag ing false hopes in the negro and render ing a resumption of a true relation be tween the blacks and the whites more difficult. I think that neither the in stints nor the destiny of this people will allow any permanent domination to the African race in any State of the Union. But the Republican Party is irrevocably pledged to this idea. They have staked their existence as a party on the triumph. To this idol they have sacrificed their constitutional obligations in the past, and for it they must find fresh offerings in the future. The blacks must have lauds and arms and a standing army to maintain them in their false position. They are clamoring for them now, and the United States must furnish them. The path upon which Congress has entered permits no halt, and retreat is ruin. In my opinion we must start anew, taking the Constitu tion for our guide and natural laws for our limitations. It is true that the Dem ocratic Party in success may violate the pledges of adversity, and again subvert the organic law. The teachings and the practice of Radicalism have destroyed much of the old reverence for the precious legacy of our ancestors. We may dread lest they should do this thing, but we do certainly know that the Republican Party has already done it. At least it is a chance of salvation. If that fails us—if we must submit, to the whims of a majori ty without appeal—it matters but little to me whether it rejoices in the name of Republican or delights in the title of Democrat. If a party in tbe nation may constitute itself the sole arbiter of the constutionality of its own measures, then secession was illegal only because it was not the act of a majority. The battle is is between Congress and the Constitution. For my part I am for the Canstitution. Holding these opinions, I shall act with the Democratic Party so long as it is the party of the Constitution. I am, sir, with great repect, Your friend and servant, John Q.

Humors of the Campaign—From Donnel ly’s Speech against Washbnre, deliver ed at St. Paul, Minn., August 28th. The Georgia Penitentiary. From the leport of the Principal Keeper, we learn that there were ninety-one convicts in prison, October 1st, 1866. Two hundred and thirty-seven have been received from that date to April 30th, 1868, making a total of 328. Of the number, one has been pardoned by the Legislature, 9 by the Governor, 12 escaped, 9 died, 2 killed and 13 discharged ; total 46, leaving in prison, April 31st, 1868, 282. Of this number 86 are white, and 186 are black males and 10 black females. The Principal Keeper, with the approbation of General Ruger, hired two hundred of these convicts to the Georgia and-Alabama Railroad Company, at a net income of eight hundred and seventy-fire dollars per quartar. An examination of the list of the names of convicts, a»d of the crimes of which they were found guiKy, gives an insight into the negro el - ractet not at all favorable to tbe The Grecian Bend in Europe— Women Devilish—Not Hideous.— 1 Although the following passage—extract ed from a laay’s private letter—was writ ten with no thought of publication, we think our readers will be interested in a criticism by one of the fair sex on a bad fashion of the day : “But what shall I say of Hambour* life ?

Emile Andreoli, who touk part in the last Polish insurrection, and on his capture by the Russians was sentenced to twelve years’ imprisonment in Siberia, has just published in the Revue Moderne the first part of his prison recollections, in which he describes what he calls the herring torture, practiced by the Russian police.

Fidelity to the Constitution should be tbe final test of political affiliation to day. But to act with the party which has ruled the country withr supreme dominion for three years past, I must agree with them that the Constitution contemplated an ultimate absorption of the most import ant functions of the Executive Depart ment by Congress, that its fair construc tion will authorize that body to wrest from the Judiciary Department jurisdetiou in cases where its judgment upon constitu tional questions of the first magnitude may possibly conflict with that of a ma jority therein, I must stand ready to fix my name to a declaration of political faith which expressly makes approval of the impeachment of the President a test of party fellowship ; and finally, I must be able to say upon my conscience that 1 consider “reconstructionj” for. the sake of which all this and much more has been done, is wise, statesmanlike and constitu tional.

I believe that true j statesmanship would have imposed on the Southern leaders the task of bringing :heir Albany, Ga., Sept. 24,1868. Col. Carey W. Styles—Dear Sir: notice in the proceedings of the Legisla ture of the 21st inst., the official report of O. H. Howard, Bureau Agent, for this district, in which he uses the following state ment in regard to myself, viz : “J. W. Armstrong, Jr. went from Albany to Ca milla the previous night, and returned on the day of the difficulty.” I beg to say this is false in fact, and conveys a false idea also. First. It is false in fact, as I did not go at night. Second. I went with Mr. Virgil Powers on Thursday as far as Mr. R. J. Bacon’s and on Friday with Messrs. Powers and Ba con to Camilla, in daylight, also to New ton the same day, and back to Mr. Bacon’s by Friday night, and on Saturday morn ing back to Albany. Mr. Powers is Superintendent of the South-Western Railroad. I am agent at Albany. We went on business solely connected with said Railroad. Knew nothing of the meeting to be held at Ca milla until I casually heard it while there had nothing to do with it in any shape or form. Aod as to the Bureau Agent’s report relative to a member of the Young Men’s Democratic Club, of Albany, goiug to Ca milla for the purpose of instigating the people to prevent the speaktng, if he al luues to me, it is false in every respect and I am confident no one from the Club or any other person, went from Albany for that purpose; nor do I believe that any one else from Albany went to Camil la but myself at that time, or about that time, but the party who went with Pierce, Murphy & Co. I met many of them on the road as Mr. Powers and myself returned to Albany from Mr. Powers’, and they were nearly all armed. I saw at least seventy-five or one hundred, with arms, going towards Camilla. I have made the above statement in justice to myself, merely to show to those who do not know me, how completely the Bureau Agent has made his tale out of whole cloth, as those who know me are al ready satisfied that in the main the re port relative to myself, is without truth Very Respectfully, J. W. Atv-.xoTRONg, Jr. Ben. Butler is troubled with strabismus, and it is related of him that when he was a boy he was assistiug a butcher to kill an ox. The butcher was holding the horns, when Ben. was to strike him with an axe. Glancing up, he caught Ben’s wandering eye, and asked: “Do you strike where you look ?” He replied : Certainly, I strikp where I look,” when the butcher begged to be excused from holding the horns. Now for Elihu Washburne, to whom I alluded when I addressed you last. I be lieve God never made a baser man, and, ndeed, I sometimes think that God never made a baser man, and, indeed, I some times think that God never made him, but let him out to the lowest bidder, like the custom-house, and that the devil was the lowest bidder.

The Indians were pressing forward to almost certain victory, when, in the haste and confusion, some one touched off a swivel gun that was fastened upon the back of a jack ass. The rebound sent the animal heels over head rolling down the mountain side among the Indians, upon which they beat hasty and disordered retreat. After ward, in treating for peace, the chief was asked why he retreated on that occasion, and replied : “Me stand white man’s knife and pistol, but Indian no stand when whole jackasses are fired at him ” I can stand gallant Gen. Hubbard, or C. C- An drews, rr any of my other opponents, but I can’t stand to have a whole jackass fired at me in the shape of one of the Wash burne family.

The great contest is over, and the resnlt is before the people. Never before has there been such a close political contest in Maine, and ne ver before has there been so large a vote polled. Compared with the election of two years ago, when^there was the last full vote in the State, the Democrats have made a splendid gain.— From the returns at hand it appears that the Republican majority will fall below twenty thousand. In 1866 their majority was nearly twenty-eight thousand. When we consider the circumstances under which the results has been achieved, the De mocracy of Maine have reasou to rejoice. Ne ver before did they have such a flood of money to meet. The Republicans could not have ex pended in tbe canvass and election less than one million of dollars. Every man who would sell his vote at any price found ready purchas ers. Nor was this all. In the contest of last Mon day the Democracy of Maine had to contend against the whole power of the consolidated capital of the country. Never before was there such a pressure brought to bear upon employ ees by employers. Democratic laboring men in tbe employ of Republicans, were compelled either to vote the Radical ticket or keep away from tbe polls. One lumber-man in this city discharged two young men because they had the independence to go to the polls and vote their honest convictions. Nor was this all. It will be observed that the Radicals make the great mass of their gains in the cities and large villages where they had absolute control of the poll lists. Take an ex ample in this city. In Ward One the Radical assistant-assessor failed to return over one hun dred voters, and consequently their names were left off the voting list. In addition to this, late on Friday, afternoon, a gentleman who is an honest man in his own opinion, if in the opinion of nobody else, demanded that no tices be issued to ninety-three more Democrats whose names were on the list. As Saturday was the last day for getting on names, of course it was impossible to hunt up those men and get them into tbe City Hall to prove their right to vote. Accordingly the Ra dical Board of Aldermen were only too willing to strike off the uames of all those who did not appear. Sixty were struck off at one fell sweep. Of the one hundred and ten left off by the as sessors we were enabled to get on but some 70. This tyranny and oppression was practiced to a greater or less extent all over the State where the Radicals had control of the voting lists.
