QUITMAN liANNlii.
QUITMAN:
THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1873.
The Ale reliant* «>r Quitman.
A Quitman correspondent of the Sa
vxonah Advertiser, on the 29th of Match
wrote that journal a* follow* ;
" The merchants of Qnitman are re
ceiving tl eir- spring alock*, which, fit
style ami quality, are all alike and very.
Inferior.”
N"W, although the correspondent who
wiote a* above signs himself "Q'litman
It#,” we do not believe that he i* a resi
dent of the town ; but, if we are mistak
en, he certainly is totally ignorant ot the
character of stock* brought on.the pres
•nt season by our enterprising m> -reliant*
The gentleman must have made tii* vis
it to the stores previous to recent am
enta i fin it in conceded by every ore
that larger or nioro elegant storks of
spring goods were never before brought
to the town; ami we would also give it
as our decided opinion, that no town in
the State of Georgia can hoist of in re
•nterpriHing, experienced and accommo
dating merchants than Quitman.
We regret exceedingly that the corres
pondent of the Advertiser deemed it ex
pedienl to use the language cited • even
if true it could accomplish no good, hut
on the contrary, if nncontrudictod, would
have a tendency to injure the townjbby
driving away trade.
'I he Dt illiteracy.
It is evident that some new ptogtam
me is on foot,{for nu'aUetnpted coi sol da
tlnn of the various elements composing
whui may be designated the opposition
to the present dominant party. What the
movement contemplates w« are unpie
pared to say, Int the intimations of ti e
"leaders” are ol euch a cl trader ns to
justify the Uslief, that another comprn
mise of principle and party b aity is to
be attempted, for the benefit of political
mountebanks, who desire to least at tin
public ci ib.
We refer to the matter simply foe the
purpose cf placing the people on guard
and to warn all tbue Democrats against
being led astray by nn ignis fauns- li
the “ciimpromtse” be suggested by win.
it msy. The disbandn cut nl oar pirty
organization and sm render of principles
in 1812, resulted hi ignominious and foil
ity Die presidential struggle of that y at ;
ami wo warn tbe people that a repet ti n
of any such alliance ?s was then formed,
will Irfetrievuldy g ve tlie country over
to radicalism and depotisni.
The (rce iusiitutions if tliia country
can be icatered only through the instru
mentality of the tune honored Jeff- rsiiti
ian Democracy. Liberty, now in chains,
can only bo released by the ascendency
to puwi r of unadulterated Deinoor iey
To this conclusion every real lover of
constitutional liberty must eveiitnullv
arrive. No compromise—no mongrel or
ganizatiou—cun ever restore the govern
ment to ita original honor and purity.
Therefore we aha!l, in (ittQre, Iri.wn on
everything like inttigue, on the part if
ao called "leaders’’, to wean the people
Irom their anoicnl allegiance, Tbe De
mocracy can, and will feature this conn
try to its pristine prosperity and happi
ness, if every honest patriot thr nghoul
the land will but do his duty ; but it they
•re led astray by the cry id' expediency
snd fritter away their sir tiglh tu vain
rflbrts !o eonstruet new idols, then, ver
-Iv, is the country lo*t—liberty will re
main in chain*, and despotism will fot
evrrmore riut in the fair land that Wash
ington and hid legions consecrated us
"the land of the free and the home of the
brave.”
For three-quarters of a century this
country prospered whilst ttie government
was ndniitijstercd in xcetndxnce with the
principles citertaitn and tl is day by tin
tiae Dem icinoy. Under tl e influence
and ascendency of said principles, «
weak Confederacy if States prospered
and mnltipled, and took rank among tile
foremoat noth ns of earth ; her cummer
vial (landing was without a parallel, her
financial condition was the envy ol the
world, hei laws were characterize and by
juattce, wisdom and moderation, her
statesmen were Intellectual giants, her
toler* were respected and honored for
their modest merit, and the most hiimbc
among her people felt a cniisclentiiius
pride in tbe luct, that lie was an Amcii
can citizen !

of iadieali-m ; but it can be restored liy

A Terrible Di-amet—Tlie Wreck of

The most terrible among the bmg list
of awful marine disasters that hag ne

I toe first of tie nresent month. The

Taxes.
The Macon Telegraph soys that accor
ding to figmes m nipi'ed by the Nash
ville Union and American Irnm a Con
gressional report, made up oil the bus s
of taxes of 1870, we Southern people,
mrtwithstanding the long supremacy el
carpet-hugging, thelt and Knavery, me
not so borne d»-wu. by taxation as those i
ol the North; and in Georgia we me
particularly ti.ilmiate. Let us consider:
In Ohio, in 1870, tl.e State lax was twen
ty-one mills on the dollar; Illinois forty
live mills; Indiana eighteen mills; lowa
twinty-tiine mills, less a tenth; Massa- j
clmsetts fifteen mill*, less one tenth;;
Michigan iiiecteeu mill*; P< mi ylvania
eighteen mills, less two tenths; Miss uni
twenty-five mills—general average ot
the North and West, tweuty-oue mills
no the dollar.
Now the State tax of Georgia is only
four milts on tbe dollar. Adding the
50 per cent for oidmary county pur
poses, which the Supreme Couit has do
cided to be tbe limit —we have six mills, j
A ud if soother 50 per cent, lie added f >r j
special County purpo-n-l, w-liicti can be
.done on tiie recommenfiinmmif the Grand
Jury, then we have .eiflit mill* on the
