“Hitlpli” the Adventurer, Akhlii.
The iidventnrcr, would-bo Con preen
man, end Radical scribbler, wliocoodt.cie
(bo Blackguard department of the Ha
vannab Morning Dews, in ilio issue of
(bat journal of tbe 15th, completely
dud pen the issue between himself and
the Baxs'Kß, gives additional evidence
ofhia low instincts, and has not one
word to say in reply to the important
query propounded in our last.
Jo response to onr assertion, “that we
persistently opjsjs/d the ratification of
the Constitution, and advocated tho elec
tion of tho Democratic nominees for
Governor and Congress,” in 1868, the
whiskey-guzzling politician and pro
fessional gambler, says that “no better
illustration of the potent imbecility 61
the Bax.ver could be given. It opposed
the Constitution, and tho Constitution
was adopted. It advocated the candi
dates, and tho candidates were defeated.’
If tills character of log’c “illustrates the
potent imbecility of tbo Banner,” it also
illustrates the "potent imbecility” of the
Savannah Morning News and every oilier
Democratic Journal in the Stato of Geor
gia; for they all opposed the Constitu
tion which was ratified, and tavored the
election of tho Democratic nominees,
many of whom were defeated. We can
tell Eulph, however, that it was not the
"imbecility" of the Democratic press of
(lie State, that caused the defeat of cer
tain nominees; it was for the “potent”
rearon, that in one instance, wo were
compelled to advocate the cause of a
Radical, in the disguise oi a Democrat—
n roan devoid of moral and political char
acter—a carpet bag adventurer—one
who, soen after tho surrender of the
Southern armies, 'illustrated’ his peculiar
characteristics and fitness for office (ala
beast Butler), rs a "Colton Picker" at
various points in Southern Georgia. No
wonder tho Democracy were signally de
featrd, when they attempted to rido so
contemptible an ass/
As to tho vile personal flings directed
at the Editor of the Banner, “Ralph”
assured they arc as harmless as the bray
ing of an ass—and certainly less deserv
ing of notice; and wo wilt feel under ob
ligations to him, ifhe will continuo to
blackguard tbo Banner and its editor,
through tho columns of the Morning
New*, for the next thirty days—as we
thus receive gratuitous advertising from
a Savannah daily, whoso editor labors
under (be delusion that it is honorable to
prostitute, its columns fur the vindication
of n cotemporary.
But,, Monsieur "Ralph,” wc do not in
tend you shall dodge us so easily. ITow
about that query of ours? Wo asked you
last week, that if you did not distinctly
state, after meeting with defeat as a Demo
cratic nominee, in 1808, that if you had
exercised your own judgment, in contra
distinction to t hat of vonr father’s, you
ux>\dd have joined the Radical party, and
been rewarded with a seat in Congrsss? —
This is the question wo desire answere 1.
Yon have dodged it. In your next de
ny it if you dare, and we will sh ip away
the mask—give your true name to the
public—and produce tho evidence of
your double dealing ami perfidy. And
then wo shall have further queries for
your consideration.
The Fnll~"Ehctlmi AVtuTsiiul I be
sent'to Congress.
Now that the election question has
been definitely settled, and tho voice es
the people is to ho heard at tho ballot
bnx on the Bth day ot November, as pro
vided for in the Constitution, it is impor
tant that the Democracy should take a
survey of tho field, and ascertain who a
mong the many aspirants for position,
arc the best qualified and most deserving
to receive tho Ruff rage of their fellow
tntkcns. Wc are to select anew Legis
laturcandal! County officers, with tho
exception of Ordinary— tho term of the
present incumbents in that office not ex
piring until 1812. These are all impor
tant positions, and the Democracy should
be very careful in the selection of can
didates, and the manner in which they
arc nominated.
There is, however, a still more impor
tant duty devolving upon the Detmicrncv
than tho selection of momliers of the
Legislature and County officials. Wc
are also called upon in November to
elect tuv Representatives to Congress
from each Congressional district: one to
fill the unexpired term of the existing
Congress, and the regular Representa
tive for the term commencing on the 4 1 ti
day of March next.
The Democratic Congressional Exec
utive Committee, a few weeks ago issu
er) an address to the Democracy of the
nation, and among other matters advis
ed tire Democracy in the late seceding
States to elect no man a Represent
tativc to Congress who cannot take the
“iron-clad" oath. Wo have very great
respect for the oplubiDS and advice of
the distinguished gentlemen composing
said Committee, hut nevertheless, do
most seriously protest to the adaption
of the advice in reference to the qualities
tion of Southern Representatives. The
very fact of a man’s ability to subscribe
to the “test oath,” is, to us, a very seri
ous objection; for all such characters—or
rather ninety-nine of every ’hundred—
are more adventurers who, have sought
the Sooth in the day of lo t misfortune,
Jbr the purpose of fi-aliig tutu i fu- i<.
position upon the wave of Northern in
dignation, that disfranchised tho native
statesmen of the South. Sti :b me i al
most invariably, hold Unit political
opinion* subservient to ehrcurosiaucee,
as they arc presented. They are devoid
of honor, and no more fit to tie the
Representatives of a high toned, brave
i and chivalioiis people, than Butler, the !
1 beast, is to associate with gotitlcn.en ]
1 Again, such men t Hint, necessarily, as
! they are strangers, lie ignorant of tin
wants desires and necessities of the peo
ple, and consequently could nut repre
sent them
These remarks arebtssd upon the sup
position, that those’who seek Congres
sional positi n, and can subscribe to the
"iron-clad” oath, are men who have
sought the South as adventurers ; for we
take it for granted, that no man who
was a citizen of Georgia during the war,
can accept of the "tc.it oath” wituout
committing perjury.
If Georgia, therefore, is to have true
Representatives in tho councils of the
nation, wc contend that they should he
of ttie manor boro. They may not lie
admitted to scats, but we would decided
lv p-.efer that Georgia remain, forever
without representation, than gratify the
ambition of adventurers, who followed
in tho wake of devastating aimios,—
domiciled thcmsclvei in onr midst, and
now seek exaltation above tho native in
tellect. We therefore spurn tho advice
of tho Northern Democratic Congress
men, as inimicaljto the interest and hon
or of Southern men. Those who can
subscribe to the "test oah ’ wore our
cremies in the day of troubl and adver
sity; and wo can have no confidence in
their protestations of friendship in the
day of pi ace and prosperity. They
were enemies in war—in peace aro p e
tended friends.
These remarks may be considered pro
mature; but it is deemed important that
the sentiment of tho Democracy in this
portion of the First Congressional Dis
trict should ho proclaimed in time. For
Congress, we shall, therefore, demand
that the Democracy place in nomination,
gentlemen of conceded integrity, unim -
peachable honor, sterling ability, men
conversant with the wants of the people,
true representatives of the sentiments ol
the masses, and they who are of South
ern birth and education —or who aligned
themselves iu interest with us before
and during the war.
Tlie Question Settled—The Consti
tution Yinnltaiini.
The action of the Georgia House of
Representatives on the 12lh inst., in re
fusing to override a plan provision of
the Constitution—by non-concurrence in
the prolongation resolutions which had
passed the Senate —lias forestalled the
damnable schemes of the B!ocgett-Bul
lock party, and allayed the murmurs of
discontent, which threatened to culmi -
nate in civil war and bloodshed. And
it is rcallv gratifying to all honorable
men to know that a majority of the mem
hers of the House could not bo swerved
from the path of rectitude and honor, by
bribery, threats, or the magic influence
of continued official power.
Immediately after the convening of
the House on Thursday, the 12th, it
stripped for the fight, by the nil-q lion
of a motion directing the door keeper to
keep all unauthorized persons iff the
floor. The special order, the Senate
resolution proposing the repeal of all
laws in relation to elections, in order to
prevent an election next November, was
then taken tip, and the House was ad
dressed thereupon by Messrs. Simulate,
Turner, Caldwell, Harper of Terrell, and
O’Neal of Lowndes, who called the pre
vious question upon concluding his re
marks. A qnestiou of order was raised
by Mr. Scott and overruled by the
speaker, whose decision on the appeal
was sustained. The main question on
tl.c adoption ol the resolutions was then

It is possible tl.c French army may
avoid battle until under tho shadow of
the fortifier’ion of Far s. in Midi event,
it appears to us, tl.c I’liissian army
could be annihilated. Retreats, howev
er, arc demoralizing to the French sol
diers, and might fan tiio flame if icvo u
lion among the impulsive masses. Un
der tlie circumstances the French Em-
peror occupies a very pncarious posi
tion. defeat to his armies means a down
tail to tho Empire and flight of tin: ru
ling dynasty If, however, the worst,
com, e, as the Macon Tel-graph very
*tr dy deal, re , he has one card i ■ h:s
hard, the p’aying of which, “tin ugh it
would not save him, might ruin his ad
versary. It is the card of Red Rcptib
lic.niism, which would wake a demon
more teriiblc even th in needle gn u or
mitraillt-urs. If Paris is in imminent
danger, let him tarn lo'ise the Red Re
publicans of France and a flame is kin
dled which will lick up like dry straw
the thrones of Europe. There is not a
monarchy in Europe that would not fi ol
the heat of this terrible fire. It lias
smouldered many years, hut the coils
still glow and only need the p itci t
breath of such leaders as Garibaldi,
Rochefort, Victor Hugo ana others to be
kind e 1 into a pc welling devouring fl one.
Red Republicanism is stronger to day
in Europe th- nit was in 1848, though
seemingly just the reverse. In Eng
land and Ireland it has made rapid
strides, and would g ve to tho grand up
rising on tho Continent most powerful
assistance.
The King of Prussia doubtless dreams
of Paris us his headquarters day and
night. Woit’d it not be one if tin
most startling episodes in history sh mill
that prize lie won at tho < x >ensc of the
popular revolution whoso ending might
find him without a throne or a foot of
earth he could c.ili his own?”
The fortifications around Paris arc
immense, and still increasing. T. e
railroads approaching tho city have
been cut, and drawbridges will be pla
ced over the cuts to allow tho approach
of friendly trains The Corps Legisla
tit rival each other, says the Paris Jour
nal Official, in eagerness to push to the
last limit of vigor the spirit of devotion
to France. The new ministry finds
that it has the active and loyal co-op
eration of tho Country’s representatives.
The session the lOlii of August will
distinguish that day as among the
most noble in our parliamentary anna’s.
Never has the nation acted mid r an
inspiration of sentiment more elevated.
This attitude of the Chambers is li >th
encouragement and recompcnce, for the
soldiers feel that the whole nation is
behind them, and that the hour ap
proaches when the enemy will be chased
from the land
Since tho foregoing was placed in
type, we have tlie following additional
news from Europe:
Tlie following important dispatch to

Under this head the LaGrange lie
porter talks to the point as follows. Com
ing as these utterances do front a paper
that was formetiy ono of tho bitterest op
j ponenls of the Democratic party to be
found anywhere, they deserve soccial
consideration:
There seems to he a disposition, or
sumo false idea of policy, on the p lit f
ttie opponents of lb pablicanism, to qtiib
hie at na • es, and to make persistent ef
forts to evade the correct designation of
of * Democrat.” These men are old line
Whigs, some of them, while others va u
ly iiiunrine that the term ‘Conservative"
will attract persons whodislike the term
“D< mocrat” to the opposition against
the Radicals and Republicans. As an
hnmbte individual we think, under all
circumstances, “Conservative" is a de
gree of polllica' demoralizati m, catering
to tie spiel us reasoning of Republican
sentiment. For onr part wo despise the
term; it smacks of moral cowardice ; it
looks hs if one w nld if be could, aid
could if he would; as it lie w.m!d like to
he on the people’s side to be respecta
ble, and would like to be a Ra Real f>r
the sake of a little office an | political
power. Half way principles are no
principles at a'l, and "D inoc at* ex
presses such t orongh and complete op
position to Radicalism that we contend
there is no other term which a; plies :o

posed to Radicalism
