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 !

The most terrible among the bmg list of awful marine disasters that hag ne ar red fur years, dales ita occurrence on I toe first of tie nresent month.

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 dollar as the outside lin't for a l * U e jvo ph- rot living within corp rations—Bo cents in the hundred ddlurs —eight dol lars in the tin ii**ikl.
