A ojrcat State mass meeting of the
Democracy will be held in Atlanta on
the 17th of September, 1872.
It will be a grand occasion. The
following speakers of national fame are
expected to make addresses:
Governor R. Gratz Biiown, candi
date for Vice President,
Hon. D. AY. I oortiees, of Indiana,
lion. Carl Sciiliiz, of Missouri;
Gov. M. C. Butler, of South Carolina;
Ex-Gov. Zeb. Vance, of North Coro
-1 ina, and other great public men.
The Democratic papers in the State
are requested to publish this.

Democratic Notice.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 4, 1872.
To the Sah Elector*: lam frequent
ly solicited to furnish speakers to tju>
respective counties, and the Executive
Committee are anxious to do so, and
will respond to all such calls as far as
they are able; but they have not the
means to defray the expenses of the
speakers desired. Having no ‘'govern
mental fund” at their disposal, and no
army of otlice-holders upon whom they
can levy contributions for campaign
purposes, it is suggested, as eminently
proper, that those counties desiring
speakers should pay their travelling
expenses. It will be but a trifle, and
great good can be accomplished in this
way, at a very small expense. Coun
ties, therefore, desiring speakers will
notify the Chairman or Secretary. We
want and urge county meetings
throughout the State.

Grants canvassers in Maine are en
deavoring to make an argument against
Greeley’s election on the ground that
lie favors pensioning Rebel soldiers
and paying the Confederate debt. It
will have but little force when the 4th
section of the 14th amendment provides
against any such a course on the part
of the President or Congress. There
is but one wax' that such a course
could be pursued by the President, and
that is, by two-thirds of the people
agreeing to so change the Constitution
as to allow it. Such are the flimsy
arguments brought by the Grantites.
Orators.
The peculiar symptoms of the po
litical corpus of our country, demands
the treatment of the most skilled phy
sicians. Like the human hotly, it is
subject to innumerable ills. In going
over the rugged path of history, we
find that every nation has had its
troubles and every government its ty
rants. A\ ith our limited historical re
search, xve are unable to point out a
single one whose sail has not at times
been tossed by the winds and made to
feel the storm of political phrenzy.—
Israel had her troubles, and her deliv
erer, Greece, xvas axved and made to
tremble by the crafty Prince of Mace
don. The historian, Sallust, tells us
in the most glowing manner, and in
the best classic style, the infamous
plot of Cataline, by which, if it had
been executed, Rome would have been
involved in a destructive conflagration
and the Republic in ruins. England,
through the British Parliament, en
trenched upon the liberties of the weak,
yet proud and gallant colonies of
America. Franco has witnessed,, the
horrors of the guillotine, seen exercised
the passions and prejudices of patri
cian power, and been drenched in the
blood and agony of selfish ambition.
The red tide of xvar has swept oxer
our once prosperous and happy coun
try. It has left in its xvake a tyrant
and an enemy t o human liberty, around
xvliom clings a faction that xvill sacri
fice principles, bury liberty, destroy
civil government, and bring ruin on
the masses, in order to satisfy their
own personal cravings.
When these perilous and dark hours
have overshadowed the track of histo
ry, if we study it close, xve will find
that there has been in every case some
Gabriel to sound the trump of liberty.
Philip, of Macedon, conceived in his
mind the overthroxv of Grecian liber
ty. His first object was to crush his
enemies at home and enlarge his king
doms abroad. Succeeding in this, he
next planned the conquest of Greece,
lie struck for the pass of Thermopy
lae the key to Greece. The Greeks
became excited and called an assem
bly, to consult about the course to be
pursued. The irresistible sway of De
mosthenes’ eloquence aroused them,
and they rushed to the spot xvliere
Leonidas and his comrades had per
ished, and rescued tlic liberties of
Greece. We have to-day a Philip in
[joint of extending his power ; in ex
pending his financial domains; in ex
tending the wing of centralization over
thirty-seven States, and changing Con
stitutional and civil liberty into mili
tary despotism. Have xve no Demos
thenes, to call up the earlier glories of
America ; the spirits of our fathers,
who preferred death to ignominy, and
that renown, beyond the reach even of
envy, which they won, and the inheri
tance, which they bequeathed ?
The modern Yerris, xvho noxv sits in
the Capital of our nation, needs but
the talents of a Cicero to exile him
from the White House, if not from his
country, His vigilance and sagacity
detected and laid before the Roman
Senate, the conspiracy of Cataline.
His bitter invective and xvithering sar
casm drove Cataline from Rome and
save the Commonwealth.
\Vc need no vigilance or sagacity to
detect the frauds, the outrages and the
conspiracies of the great Gift-taker.
He has grown so bold that he hesitates
not to act in broad open day. If
Greece needed a Demosthenes; if
Rome needed a Cicero, and if the
American Colonies, in their infant
struggle*for liberty, needed a Patrick
Henry, certainly the United States, and
particularly the South, noxv needs her
orators to arouse the sleeping multi
tude and lire their hearts xvith the de
termination to rescue our tottering
Government. Not a century ago the
orators of freedom raised their voices
in tones of thunder against oppression
on this very continent. AYe have Burkes
xvith all their wealth of fancy, daring
imagination and comprehensive learn
ing. AYe have Junius’ xvith their sar
casm and audacity, xvho can sting
the “Seaside Lounger” and his office
holders into desperation. AYe have
Erskines to embellish the darkened
heavens by the rainbow* tints of their
genius, and Chathams to rule the bil
loxvy sea of excited mind xvith the
majesty of a god. Then let them come
into the field. Already some of them
have come upon the forum. The gal
lant, and accomplished Gordon and the
philosophic and argumentative Trippe
are Lending the “Straights” in Georgia.
Their efforts and influence last Satur
day are almost incomparable. AYe can
but say to them :—go on. Call others
to your assistance and help this move;
help our oppressed South from the
gilded chains of despotism, enthuse
the heart of every Democrat, Liberal
Republican and Straight, and ally
them immutable, eternal and fixed as
the firmament in heaven, in the deter
mination to wipe away the last vestige
of Radicalism from the sacred councils
of this nation.
Horace Greeley is charged with
having no charity and xvith loving
money as xvcll as Grant and his rela
tions. If any one believes this let them
consider the act of his going on Air.
Davis’ bond. When Ireland xvas so
much oppressed and needed assistance,
who first manifested charity in Ameri
ca. Horace Greeley headed the sub
scription xvith SIO,OOO. This clearly
demonstrates the truth of such charges
by partisan Radicalism. Other acts
could be brought forward to demon
strate It more clearly, but anybody
but a Grantite knows how it is.

that they'could make this body a fa

it equally insignificant and destitute of

Chatfield’s remarks can be condensed
into the assertion that he learned las
political creed in the school of Jack
son, Madison and Jefferson, and he
never had seen the time xvlien lie de
sired to abandon it. He says he was
a “Democrat—xvas born one—and
would always be one—and if lie xvas
the last remaining man here, he xvould
wrap the old flag around him and lay
him doxx’ii therein.” It is evident
from these remarks that lie intends to
be a Democrat, let the government go.
He is one of those kind who had voted
for Jefferson xvlien lie was alive, still
continues to vote for him, and xvlien he
comes to die, lie xvill not think of go

PERSONAL.
Colonel I. AX*. Avery Declines to Enter the
Race for Congress in the Fifth District.
My name lias been suggested for Congress,
and a number of kind friends have asked
whether they should actively support me for
the nomination.
No man can be properly insensible to the
honor of representing a great State in the
national councils. To be worthy of it is a
badge of enviable character; to reap it is to
fill a noble station, and bear responsibilities,
that well met, carry the stamp of valuable
qualities and indicate the doing of high and
useful endeavor. Os all the honorable du
ties of this life, none require xvisdom, and
should be discharged xvith a higher sense of
responsibility tliaii those connected with
public government. And to aspire to such
service is a worthy ambition.
Act such honor can lose its value by the
manner of its acquirement.
It has been an old saw, more respected in
the breach than the observance, that office
should seek the man. I beliexe in it. Yet
how little is it regarded. The push for place
for its attractions simply, and nat for its uses;
the stale and shalloxv artifice of reluctantly
sacrificing oneself on the altar of Valuable
place, only to please others; the coy coquet
ry of seemingly unwilling yet self-sought
candidacy: the subtle chicanery of caucus
intrigue for a nomination; the barter and
exchange of clique assistance; the use of all
the pliant enginery ofpolitical mechanism to
xv in success; and a hWI of other stereotyped
subterfuges to hypocritically gather coveted
political laurels, have all become too com
mon. To succeed in such a contest carries
the sting of successful trickery, and deprives
victory of its prestige. To fail leaves one
humiliation and self-reproach.
The country has been too much cursed by
this sort of candidacy.
Yet on the other hand, few men enjoy
that superiority ofqualities that concentrates
voluntary public support. And gentlemen
hax c come to recognize a certain sort of le
gitimate personal effort to secure political
distinction as proper and honorable.
In the new alignment of Congressional
Districts, I have been removed from a Dis
trict where I have formed many warm per
sonal, business and political -.riendships, to
one where l am little personally acquainted.
From being the southern end of a North
I Georgia District, Fulton county has become
the nearly northern end of a Middle Georgia
District—narrow* as a line, and stretching
its attenuated and zigzag length pretty far
into the negro section. It begins xvith Mil
ton and meanders in almost single file through
Fulton, Delvalb, Clayton, Henry, Fayette,
Spalding, Pike, Alonroc, Upson and Craw
ford into Houston. To communicate with
the lower end of the District by rail, we have
to make a detour into another District. The
upper and lower portions of the District
have, as it xverc, to bq introduced to each
other therefore, and form an acquaintance,
and this is a question of time.
I have txvo duties that prevent my enter
ing upon this necessary matter of acquaint
ance in the district for a nomination. lam
editor of a Democratic daily paper at Atlan
ta, and Secretary of the Democratic Execu
tive Committee. The duties ot both are
laborious and exacting. The campaign is
upon us. lam deeply interested in the re
sult* The Democracy cannot afford to be
defeated in the State or National contests.
Radical rule is to be ax’oided, AVhatever of
usefulness I possess for the party or country
can best be rendered in the discharge of the
duties mentioned. AYhile to enter upon a
race for nomination for Congressional hon
ors xvould impair my attention to those
duties. I must therefor® leave to others the
Congressional race, and take for my rexvard
my participation, in the increased prosperity
of the country, if xve rtfn succeed in over
throwing Radicalism and erecting in its
stead an honest, solid, enduring Democratic
government. And 1 shall feel richly repaid
in the result for my humble efforts in the
general cause.
I thank my partial friends for their kind
ness. Trusting to see every nominee of the
Democratic party elected, and iux’oking the
organization to zealous unity of action, I
pledge my labor to the cause.

After a careful examination of various Geographies
for more 'lain a year, in December last the Commit- I
tee on Text-hoots 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,
during which time it was the subject of all the adverse
criticism that the agents and triends ol three other
Series could tiring against it. The result tens the
adoption of the recommendation of Ihe Committee by
a vote of 17 to 3.
My own opinion, in which I believe that most of i
our Hoard concur, is that in grading, in methods, and
in style, Cornell's Geographies are amirably adapted to i
meet the wants of teachers and pupils; while in typo
graphy. illustrative engravings and maps, they are
models of clear ness, elegance, and accuracy,
