US# i T- ri’row the Atlanta Constitution.] GO TO WORK, DEMOCRATS. i‘a While the campaigning is being car ried on in dead earnest in our sister States, North and South, in Georgia alone is tbero great apathy. Democratic brethren, this is not right. Wc have too much at stake to be idle and inactive. Leaving out of view the presidential stake, we have a deep in terest in the contests for Governor, Legislators, county officers and Con gressmen. Let us not lose sight of that interest. Let us have no return to Bullock rule with its accompaniments of public plunder and private degeneracy. Wo have experienced the benefits of honest Democratic rule. Wc have bad a Democrat Governor for only one year, yet we see order out of chaos, crime diminished, the law enforced, honesty substituted for public robbery, peace aud harmony for disorder and anarchy. No longer is the treasury depleted by a thousand leeches. We see everywhere a prosperous, happy people. Let us endeavor to keep tkc General Assembly Democratic. Let us keep all of our domestic mat ters in our own bands. Let us scud Democratic Representa tives to Congress to stop Graut’s infer nal terrorism and Southern crucifixion. We must be up and doing. The can didates must take the field. The doct ors must mount the stump. f;> Work, work, work is the duty of the hour. No time is to be lost. The State elections arc ouly two weeks off. Democrats, to the field. Eloquent. —Col. Lucius A. Hardee, of Florida, closed a speech before the Democratic mass meeting in New York, on the 12th instant, as follows: “I love the little gray jackets. They were made by our mothers, our brothers, and our sisters. But side by side in this great war 400,000 of the gray and blue were laid in the grave. The moths knew no difference in the colors; the worms knew no difference in the bodies; and high Heaven will know no differ ence in the judgment day. I have shed many tears over the Confederate dead, and I do not believe any Northern man will think the less of me tor it; and I know that no true Southern man will despise me because a few tears dropped on the graves of the Yankees. If you assist us to elect Horace Greeley the blue-eyed blondes of the North and the dark-eyed brunettes of the golden South will soon gather flowers in company, be dew them with their tears, and scatter them alike on the graves of the boys in blue and the boys in gray. Let us work together, friemfs, that the 4th of March next we may see an old white-hatted man take the presidential seat in Wash ington, amid the booming of cannon, the ringing of bells, and the general jubila ’ tion of a united, happy people.” '• w * Oen. G. J. Wright was nominated for Congress in the Second District over Messrs. Fleming, Mclntyre, Harper, Clark and Munucrlyn, cn the eighth ballot. [com mi nk ATEIi.j TO THE REPUBLICANS OF BURKE Colored Fellow-Citizens :—lt was with no little surprise and displeasure that I learned of my nomination by your com mittee, on last Saturday, as one of your candidates for the Legislature. liJspe ! daily 80, as I bad forewarned several members of your committee, when wait* j cd upon beforehand, that I could not and would not. accept the nomination, for various good reasons which I gave ! to them, and some of which I will giro you in this communication. Your com mittee’s nomination as regards myself ■ , was nolens volens, and though you may | have designed aud wished (on account ;of my fidelity to principles which I ! honestly hold to he eminently just and j equitable), to confer legislative honors upon me, for all of which you have my bow of thanks. Yet I think you acted uuwisely, if not unjustly in nominating me against my expressed wishes. My only desire as expressed, and my only advice as given to a part of your com mittee, was to eDdor.se one or more of the three Democratic nominees, who arc gentlemen in every way worthy and well calculated to represent the interest fairly and squarely of both, white and colored, rich and poor, intelligent and ignorant of our county. And then se lect as a third one the best man your committee could find, who would sub serve the interest of the Republican party. I advised this from a concilia tory standpoint, and had you have honored my advice, I firmly believe, in the end, it would have been the better for both political parties. When you select candidates for offices, either coun ty, state, or federal, let them be distin guished for ability and the Christian graces, remembering that wo are taught both by example and holy precept that “when the wicked rule the people mourn.” Another reason why I decline your committee’s generous offer is, I consider my humble self incompetent to represent the varied and complex interest of our political situation. 1 have always, sßce the late war, thought and contended that the very best men in the counties should he chosen—no matter of what political name —whether Republicans, Democrats, or Conserva tives, to form the “assembled wisdom” of a great State liko ours. It is, in deed, to be lamented when the repre sentatives of a State act only in the interest of a political party, or of one caste of citizenship, for selfish Aggran dizement, and fail to legislate for the interest of all the people and the general good of the whole State, irrespective of party creed, race, or color. Wisdom, Justice, aud Moderation should be tne controling features of our legislative body; but l fear this uoblc motto has too often been ignored and forgotteu in the party struggles for the ascendency. But I hope a brighter and more peace ful destiny is iu store for our good uld commonwealth, and that a more liberal policy awaits the action of her future law-givers. Need.l say more? I again tell you I cannot accept your nomina tion in the person of myself for a mem bership in the Legislature. I prefer that my place upon your ticket be filled by one who is older, wises, and abler, if not more conservative. Respectfully, B. F. DUKE! September 16th, 1872. The Mass Meeting in Atlanta. — The Atlanta Comtitution of Wednesday says : “Tho mass meeting yestorday was an enthusiastic affair. In the morn ing tho large assemblage was composed almost entirely of strangers and our country friends. We also uoticed a largo sprinkling of the colored people. “Great good was done. The speeches were all first-class, and were heartily appreciated. They were in fine tem per and presented the issues ably aud effectively. “A series of such meetings will con quer the contest. “The foreign speakers were unable to get here, but will address cur people later in the campaign.” Ex-President Mahan, of Obcrlin Col lege, has written a letter on the politi cal situation. He proclaims that the the “avoded policy” of the Republican party is to subvert national morality, unchristiauize the Church of Christ, sectionalize the nation, generate a war of races, and “savageize” the spirit of the divided sections and races toward each other. In conclusion, the vene rable doctor speaks of “nominal Chris tians” in connection with their Republi can leadership. 1 POLITICAL NOTES. Governor Jacob, of West Virginia, the newly, elected Governor, lias writ ten a letter expressing adhesion to the Greeley movement. The Democratic and Liberal convcn Hon?, at Worcester, Mas*., on the 12th inst., nominated Charles Sumner for Governor. The seventh resolution do- I dares that the existing prohibition laws ; should he repealed or enforced. Simon Cameron, the national Tweed, is to ho stumped for in Pennsylvania by Attorney Gene ml Williams, who leaves his post in WadiugLun fur that pur-pose. Thus are the beauties of civil service re form illustrated under Grant! The Straight-Out Democrats of Phil adelphia have agreed to postpone the nomination of a third party Presidential electoral ticket until after the Pennsyl vania October election, which most pro bably means tho indefinite postpone ment of this third party. If President Grant’s skin, soys the Courier-Journal, were not as thick and tough as the epidermis of a superannu ated rliinocrous, the censures which the American people so justly heap upon him would long since have impelled him to chain himself to a couple of bars of pig-metal and conceal himself at the bottom of the Potomac. The National GuauuiUno of the La bor Reformers have published an open Utter on the Louisville; Convention They went to Louisville to assist in the nomination of O'Conor, aud askiug no recognitions save in the matter of the platform- They were admitted to the rooms of the committee, which was in cubating the “principles” of the move- ! mout, but they were so. disgusted with , the character of the couclave aud the animus of the members that tjjoy now expose the inner workings thing and advise tl.eir constituents to have nothing to do with it. They testify that while there were a few honest re actionists in the convention, the great ! majorily were consciously and zealously working in tho interest of .Gen. Grant, whose administration tho 'committee freely denounce as “the most infernal and damnably Corrupt one that lias ever disgraced our government and people.” - J The New Principle. — In regard to the establishment of anew principle of international law by the Geneva arbitra tion it is said iu dispatches from Wash ington, on the authority, it is alleged, of the representative of the British government now in Washington, who is fully posted on the whole question, that as far ago as ISGS Earl Russell would have been glad to cance’ all legitimate claims against England for more than the amount awarded by the tribunal, provided he could have gained what has now been accomplished for a sum less in dollars, but richer in principle to Great, Britain. A New Gin. — Dr. E. Osgood lias had On exhibition at the Athens Foundry and Machine Works, for several days, anew gin of his own invention, which appears to possess superior merits ; and tho idea of constructing a perfect gin has long occupied tho attention of in ventors, and its practical application is a desideratum which will be hailed with joy by all interested in growing cotton. Dr. Osgood seems to have solved the problem. The gin on exhibition, which is intended to be run by hand or power, is only ten inches across the feed board and it is said to have a capacity of four or five hundred pouuds of lint cotton per day. The peculiar merits claimed for it are : That it removes all the lint from the seed ; operates equally well in all kinds of cotton; does its work rapidly without strain or injury to the staple ; and is so simple in construction as to be easily understood and operated. It has no saws but cousists of an elastic roller working on a polished concave surface, which gently draws the cotton, while the seeds arc removed by clearers, leav ing the lint in nearly the same shape it occupied in the I oil. A number of cur citizens and planters from the surrounding country have ex amined this gin, and all arc pleased with its operation. Wc understand the Doctor is engaged in fitting up a larger sized gin, which, when completed, will demonstrate more fully the superior advantages of his in vention.—Souihem Watchvum. Gen. A. R.
