Ireland..— For several days wo have
noticed dispatches from Ireland giving
accounts of the riotous disposition of
some of the citizens of Belfast. It is
well known to those who are at all ac
quainted with the condition of Ireland
through history, that they have bOen
the most oppressed people on the face
of the earth. The riotous spirit has
assumed fearful proportions. The
latest dispatch states that houses were
tired at night and that the magistrates
have unanimously petitioned the Lord
Lieutenant of Ireland to put the city
under of the Peace ITcscrvation
Act.
jloiuuelk Politics.— I The dirty po
-I'ideal drama so often enacted in South
Carolina since the war, was repeated
at (’olumbia, on the 20th inst. At
the Republican Convention F. J. Moses
was nominated for Governor. The
( onvention was packed and money
profiisclyjist'd. Several delegates con
fess the// had bribes offered them.—
I'he Chairman had a-pistol drawn on
-*ini by one of the delegates and a gen
eral confusion was the order of the
day. Tin* party is much divided and
a holt is anticipated. We can only
quote for the benefit of the good citi

fall out just men get their dues.”
Review.—ln a special correspond

reviewing the political held of Maine,
ti.e correspondent states that many
st ■ nies are told of the Republicans who
have decided to vote for Greeley. He
does not doubt but that there are
prominent members of Congress and
ei too Legislature and editors who
formerly Republicans' but now
piopose to vote lor Greeley or remain
‘‘ En-d. He also states that in many

ir any of our eotempot Aiwa desire
to publish a paper without more cost
than the ink, paper and the wages of
one band to print the paper and send
it to subscribers, let them fill up one
side with Greeley’s epitaph and the
other with the Platform of the Jeffer
sonian Democratic State Convention,
as the Atlanta Sun does.
Perhaps this is a substitution for
“patent outsides.”
It is a frequent remark in political
circles that men who formerly claimed
to belong to the Democratic party and
now propose to support Greeley, are
inconsistent. They are charged with
belonging to the Protean school of
polities and change their opinions and
their course just as policy directs.
This imaginary inconsistency arises
by confounding the present with the
past. As time proceeds everything
progresses with it. As the political
situation to-day is vastly different to
what it was in ISGO, so must our opin
ions and acts be different as regards
adapting them to the surroundings.
The Democratic party of the State
appointed an Executive Committee to
act for it. This Committee called a
Convention, and men were selected to
represent the Democracy of the State
in a National Convention. This Con
vention, after scouting the political
situation, thought best to concentrate
upon Horace Greeley as the only means !
ot overthrowing the tyranical despot- j
ism of Grant, Sickles & Cos. The Lib
eral Republicans think the same thing, i
We had our thoughts in 1800, Greeley j
and his crowd had theirs. Now we ;
think together to a certain extent.— :
What candid mind now will say that
it would he inconsistent in us not to
join hands and go to work honestly
and fervently to accomplish the great-:
c.st good ? We confess that we have !
no love for Horace Greeley, and that j
his past life does not meet our full I
approbation, but he is the best we can i
do, and we don’t feel any inconsistency
in supporting him.

Centrulizu t ion.
It has been said that there is a time
in the tide of every mans affairs which,
if taken at the flood, leads on to for
tune. We think the adage applicable
to governments. The tide of the
American Government is now at flood
and will ebb in November. It is w ith
the people of these United States to
say Whether the grand old ship shall
go on to the haven of a good, honest
and pure Government, or leave the
fathers sure foundation and enduring
safeguard of free institutions, local
self-government, and drift into an em
pire or personal government. No one
doubts from the past administration
that centralization is its chief aim.
Do we mean to have a personal rather
than a popular governmentt? Do we
intend to have the lever and the ful
crum at thro- center? Do we mean to
hush in eternal silence the guardian
voice of the States? and have every
face turned to the citadel at Washington
imploring the central goddess for pro
tection, for favors, for all local privi
leges, for governmental regulation, for
charters of incorporation for advant
ages of all kinds, for franchises, for
the right to educate our children, and,
in short, for everything ? Are the
people willing that the destiny of the
many should be submitted to the di
rection of a few. If they are, then
continue the present administration.
On the contrary, if they desire to avert
these evils, the only way is a speedy
change of rulers.

MaSßftChndetts Colored Liberal Rtpiabh
ca in.
The following are the concluding
paragraphs of’ the address issued by
the Colored Liberal Republicans of
Massachusetts :
Let us be “against the policy of hale,
against fanning ancient flames into -coutin
ued life.” Let us cease to rake “in the
ashes of the past for coals of fire yet burn
ing.” Let us “pile up the ashes, extinguish
the flames and abolish the hate!” Fellow
countrymen! You especially who in the dark
valley of slavery hoped for better days; you
whose faith led you to anticipate freedom,
be not now doubtful. Let us not question
the good faith of those who have been
brought over to the right side until there be
proof to the contrary. As yet, we who hold
most sacred all that you are contending for,
assure you that there is not one particle of
doubt that under the admiuistraiion of Hor
ace Greeley you will enjoy all the rights,
privileges, anil immiuftties of American cit
izenship. The colored men will not, we
are sure, desert one of their oldest, earliest,
and longest-tried friends, such as is Horace
Greeley, to vote for one who, like General
Grant, only entered the Republican party at
the eleventh hour for the purpose of obtain
ing its highest office. AVe have never been
accused of ingratitude—no, it is not charac
teristic of our race. Horace Greeley ’s record
is crowded, for thirty years, with the most
earnest, warm-hearted* and entirely disin
terested advocacy of our rights and our
interests. President Grant never vouch
safed us a cordial word in his life, and never
did one act in our favorto w hich his position
as an officer of the Government or an agent
of a party did not compel him. With this
plain and unvarnished statement ot facts and
the positions of the fwo candidates, we leave
the question to the candid, enlightened pa- ,
triotism and judgment of our fellow- coun
trymen, the country ever believiug that
their sense of gratitude will impell them to
east their ballots for the true representatives
of honesty, “the unity of the republic, equal
rights to all, and reconeilliation.” —GREE-
LEY AND BROWN.
We would that ever y colored mail
in the country could read this article
and could be impressed with the truth
of the assertions made in it. Grant is
not their friend and deliverer, and
does not deserve to be their idol, but
they will worship him.
The News & Georgian. —This pa
per, after giving the names of persons
appointed Notaries Public for the !
county of Spalding, makes the follow
ing comment:
“These are capital selections, and will
give very general satisfaction. But the j
question very naturally suggests itself, how
came the Governor to defer the postpone- ;
ment of the appointment of Judges and So
licitors General, and ask legislative advice
on the subject, when they stand upon the j
very same footing that the former do. It
can he answered that there is not so much
political influence in or aspirants for the
former position as the latter, though we do
not charge that such influences controlled ,
the Governor.”
The writer pretends that he does 1
not mean an attack on the Governor, 1
while his words of comment are doubt
less intended, and can be construed in
no other way. The “Wiseacre” who
penned the above saw no difficulty in
making the appointment of Judges
and Solicitor Generals in July last,
while more than one-half of the law
yers of the State, and the very able
Joint Judiciary Committee of the Sen
ate and House, thought, find decided
otherwise. lie can see nothing in the
postponement of these appointments
but a policy move, and means thereby
to say, that the Governor adopted this
policy to secure a re-election.
The article charges that “Notaries
Public stand on the same footiim with
Judges,” Ac., “but their appointments
are not of so much political impor
tance.” We desire to say simply, that
the editor is grossly ignorant of the
matter about which lie writes, or he
purposely intends to misrepresent, for
the ordinance of the Convention of
1868, under which Judges and Solic
itors hold over until the next meeting
of the General Assembly, expressly
excludes Justices of the Peace from
its operation.
Now, which will the people regard,
the plain and unmistakable language
of the Ordinance—the law which con
trolled the Governor and Legislature,
or “Wiseacre ?”
We have been pained to notice for
some time a disposition on the part of
this paper to oppose Governor Smith,
and if the editors have thus made up
their minds, why not make a manly,
bold opposition, instead of an occa
sional sly, “back-handed lick.” Re
manly. Either be for, or against.
Reconciliation is (lit Wiildnvard of the
Campaign.
Horace Greeley is essentially a man of
peace. All his instincts are pacific. Phi
losophers and literary men generally have a
horror of war and discord. Greeley is a
thinker who makes a right use of his men
tal faculties. Impetuous, bold, even daring
in taking and maintaining positions, he is a
man in whom the milk of human kindness
is ever a ready supply for the various needs
and demands of a hard world.
Greeley was born and bred in an inhos
pitable, cold, sterile section where no love
was lost upon the “slave holding monster.”
He grew up in the nurture of these preju
dices. He, as an Abolitionist, hated the fa
vorite institution of the South. He had re
markable talents as a writer. These he em
ployed to overthrow slavery. But he made
a difference in his warfare between the slave
power, the thing of slavery, and the slave
owner. He did not hate him. His war
fare was directed against the power. It
fell. The slave was manumitted. Mr.
Greeley’s party, having none of his kind
ness and forgivingness, abused their power
by reversing the civil scale in the conquered
section. They widened the political fran
chise in one direction and contracted it in
another. They were not philosophers,
much less statesmen and still much less hu
manitarians iftd philanthropists. Under the
plea of humanity, they were inhumane. —
They freed the negro and invested him with
great political privileges, but they disfran
chised the white man and ostracised him
from the halls of legislation.
Thinking of the mission of the Republi
can party, of which he was at once founder
and high priest, had ended in its suicidal
abandonment of what he conceived its car
dina’i principle, tat: of the freedom of the
individual within the limits of a reasonable
and just local government, Horace Greeley
and many of the most eminent men in that
organization abandoned it to the corrupt
spoilsmen who had taken possession of it,
and formed in Cincinnati a party of hope
and reconciliation. In his letter accepting
the nomination for Presidency he reach
ed across the sectional gulf of blood and
hate that had too long divided North and
South and shook hands with his old ene
mies of the South, now no longer enemies,
thank God, but friends, and we trust hence
forth to remain friends.
In this dark night of our nation patriots
are on guard, Greeley gives the counter
sign, “Reconciliation,” and the sentinels
pass him on his way rejoicing to the A\ bite
House, where as the day dawns the Philos
opher will smilingly greet his sentinel
friends of the night, and the whole people
will rejoice and be exceeding glad.
Sing it out to the breezes and let the glad
some song echo and re-echo through the
hills and vales of the whole country. Re
conciliation—Union—Peace! North and
South hush the voice of contention. The
People with resistless might, inspired by
the old American spirit and love of liberty,
rise above party considerations and the nar
row behests of party organization, and as
sert their rights as citizens of a republic the
proudest in the annals of the world. Re
conciliation is the people's cry—the watch
word of the hour. Reconciliation brings
national peace and rest and ensures the re
storation of the simple but sublime princi
ples of government from which we have
departed to our disquietud vand hurt. TTA

Pillion's Life of (imley.
One of the most interesting and valuable
of American biographies, is the “Life of
Horace Greeley,” by James Parton. The
life of Mr. Greeley has been closely inter
woven with what has been most command
ing in American affairs for more than a
third of a century. Indeed, this story of
his life gives the reader by no means an in
adequate glimpse of American history for
the past thirty years. It is the story of a
life that commenced in the greatest obscuri
ty, and has grown into the greatest emi
nence. It has been a very busy life, the
busiest, probably, in the land, crowded with
events, full of brave words and generous
deeds, and marked by peculiarities greater
and characteristics stronger than, perhaps,
those of any other American Citizen.
The subject, therefore, would command
respectful and eager attention, though han
dled by an unskillful pen. But Mr. Parton
is a master. He lias long been well and
widely known in our literature. He is a
keen and brilliant essayist: an incisive and
sparkling writer of English, and a careful
and exhaustive searcher after facts, lie
does not touch a pen to paper in the compo
siiion of a book, till the entire field of in
vestigation has been explored, and every
thing directly or indirectly bearing on his
theme thoroughly digested.
In preparing this work, he spent several
months in visiting the town where Mr.
Greeley was horn and tile various places
where he subsequently, collecting all the in
formation about his early life that it was
possible to obtain. It is not, therefore, a
hastily or illy contrived hook, labeled, “Life
of Greeley,” hut a work which will always
he the authoritative record of the three
score years of Mr. Greeley’s life that have
already passed into history. It would be a
valuable addition to H«y*library at any time,
but, just now, its opportuneness gives it ad
ded interest.
It is elegantly hound, well illustrated; and
in consideration of the great popular de
mand for the work it is sold for a little more
than half the ruling hook prices.
It is published by the NATIONAL PUB
LISHING CO., of Atlanta, who want
agents in every County.
Foi. Ilnrdomun to line Democracy .
Macon, Ga., August 20, 1872.
To the Democratic Parti/ of Georgia:
In compliance with a resolution of the
State Executive Committee, I piu-pose ad
dressing you, briefly, upon the perils of the
times and the duties of the hour.
We are engaged in a great contest, one in
which every person who loves Constitution
al Government, who desires a return to the
old landmarks of the fathers, who is weary
of enforcement acts, of bayonet rule, of the
subordination of the civil to the military
power of the Government, of the suspen
sion of the writ of habeas corpus, of the
concentration of power in the Federal Ex
ecutive, who prefers local self-government
to the arbitrary rule of party and power,
who would quiet sectional wrangling and
animosities, who prefers peace to strife, un
ion to discord, country to party, must evi
dence his faith by his works.
It is a contest between the friends of true
government and the open enemies of Con
stitutional law and liberty. It is a contest
which, as it widens and spreads, will shake
party organizations to their foundation, be
cause it is a contest of the people independ
ent of party associations or requirements.—
It is a contest for which the true men of the
North and the South, the East and the
West, are preparing, by forgetting the hitter
memories ot' past, the effete issues of old
organizations and in the spirit of a noble
brotherhood and a patriotic liberality, are
combining to save the Government from
overthrow and the people from the tyran
nies of a centralized despotism. It is a con
test which promises peace to the nation, per
sonal liberty to the people, equal rights to
the States, good government to all. In this
contest, we must act our part, we cannot he
camp followers, when liberty is at stake and
the country is in peril. Every hope of suc
cess depends upon the efforts of those en
gaged in the struggle.
In Georgia, the turning point of the con
flict depends upon our ability to bring all
our forces into the field. To effect a result
so desirable there must be a thorough and
complete organization in every county in the
State- Our electors should visit the people
and urge them to action and to duty, and
they will nobly respond, for Georgians have
never proved recreant to a trust, or false to
duty. Upon our sub-electors, most valua
ble aids and adjuncts, much, very much de
pends. To them the Executive Committee
is hopefully looking for invaluable assistance
in county organizations. Let each one feel
the individual responsibility of the trust re
posed in him, and we shall have a campaign
in Georgia, faithful in its labors and glori
oue in its victories.
Our State Government must be maintain
ed, for it is the sheet anchor of our hopes.
In preserving this we will be the better able
to secure a triumph in November following
for our electoral ticket in Georgia. There
is apathy in our party—it must be removed,
and the people aroused aud awakened to the
sense of their danger. There is diviation in
our ranks; let us heal it by kind remon
strances and courteous appeals to the patri
otism and magnanimity of “hesitating Dem
ocrats. ’ ’
The party has spoken through its recog
nized organs, (State and National Conven
tions) and expects every man to do his duty
and accept its action as a proof of its fideli
ty to the best interest of the country. Per
sonal prejudices should now yield to the
overwhelming will of the majority; private
regrets rind individual preferences should be
dropped, and the old party, proud of its
record In the past, of its devotion to Consti
tutional Government, of its sacred mainte
nance of the rights of the States, of its holy
regard for the personal liberties of the peo
pie. should, as a unit, lock shields with the
patriotic men of any party who will unite
with it in the maintenance of principles so
essential to good government, without par
leying as to whom their banner is entrusted,
or who will lead their forces to victor}* It
is now time for concert of action among all
true men. We are now at sea; the elements
are stirred; we hear the wail of the tempest,
the roar of tiie thunder, the rushing of the
waters; this is no time for division among
the seaman, or mutiny in the crew, because
our captain is taken from another craft; let
each man to his duty and his post at the
pump, the engine or the sail, and follow him
as he follows his chart and compass, and
we will weather the storm and anchor at
last in the port of safety.
Democrats, Liberal Republicans, zealous
co-laborers in this work of reconciliation
and reform, let us go more actively to our
fibers —let the slogan of onr combined
forces be heard in every valley and upon
every hill top—let our battle cry, “fraterni
ty, reform and constitutional government”
cease not, until, in November next, it will
be the shouts of a victorious host
proci*4Bng to the down trodden South uni
versal amnesty, good will, local self-govern
ment, and to the whole nation peace, resto
ration, vnion. T. Hardeman, Jr.,

Read Lite following letter:—
u
Washington, D. 0.. March 80,1572. .
After a careful examination of various Geographies
for more than a year, in December last the Commit
tee on Text-books recommended toe adoption of Cor
nell's Geographies as being adapted to the mental con
dition of school children, accurate, and cheap, For
some six weeks the report was under consideration, j
during which time it iv.-is thesul ject of all the adverse
criticism that the agents mil triends of three other
Series could bring against it. The re*wlt tea# the j
adoption of the recommendation of the Committee by I
a rote of 3.
My own opinion, in which I believe that most of
onr Board concur, is that in grading, in methods, and
in style, Cornell’s Geographies aronmirably adapted to
meet the wants of teacher* and pupils; while in typo- j
graphy. illustrative engravings and maps, they are !
models of clearness, elegance , and nccura/y.

We would repec'fully call the attention Teachers

enabled to offer the most thoruuehandcomph te series
of Geographies, comprised in threojiooks, to be found

being fuller in details than the other, but no highor in
