OIJSSON. r+- ♦ FIRST DISTRICT-FOR CONGRESS) IVEOIEtO-AXSr RAWLS, OF EFFINGHAM. FOR PRESIDENT, HORACE GREELEY, or NEW YORK. FOR VICE-PRESIDENT, B. GRATZ BROWN, or MISSOURI. HON. JOSEPH B. JONES Friends, Democrats, read the card of this gentleman. Read it to colored voters. Get right on this question yflursetf—and put your friends and neighbors right. Be true to your trust —for if you be not true, how shall wo succeed? ELECTION NEXT WEDNESDAY. ' —~ We have several articles, from prom inent exchanges, upon this subject in our paper to-day. They are to the point. They certify tho duty of each and every man. Read, reflect, act!— Act. promptly, effectually act, and the victory shall be ours. COL JOHN D. ASHTON. We ask the attention of our readers to the letter from Colouel Ashton, in another columu. While some of our friends have had misgivings, and so ex pressed them, as to the position of the Colonel upon the question at issue. We have been firm in the belief that he was, is a Democrat. Occupying, as he does, the position of sub-elector on the Dem ocratic ticket for this district, he could not eveu if be would, accept Grautism. His advice to the colored citizens is op portune ami excellent; may they each and all accept it. DARE YOU TAKE THE RESPONSI BILITY. Tbe eleven electoral votes of Georgia may decide tho Presidential election. The failure of one man may give the eleven electoral votes to Grant, and perpetuate the rule of hate, tyranny and oppression, centralism and despot ism. Some professed Democrats say : “As neither of the candidates is a Democrat, I will not vote at all.” If it is right, or good policy for one thus to act, it is right for all. If all, or a large number adopt this course, the negroes of Mid dle and Southern Georgia will go to the polls, and votiug for the Grant electors, give the eleven electoral votes of Georgia to the man who delights in oppressing the Southern people and trampling under foot the Constitution of the country. Arc you willing, reader, to assume the fearful responsibility of electing Grant, by refusing to vote ? Your vote may free your country, or rivet the chains prepared for your enslavement. How can any patriot, in view of these facts, talk about not voting ?— Athens Watchman. **• —. . ■—— A letter-carrier in the New York postoffice, appointed in recognition of faithful service in the army, and on ac count of ill health, finding himself assessed by self-constituted authorites of tho Republican State Executive Committee two per cent, on his small salary of SBOO for campaign purposes, “wants to know” though the newspapers’ if this is Grant s “civil service reform.’ —.—,—,— -+■ % —- Georgia Legislation. —The Balti more Sun thus speaks approvingly of recent Georgia legislation : The Leg islature of Georgia has passed a law exempting from taxation, either county or municipal, for a period of two years, all cotton and woolen mills that may be built in that State. The exemption includes the real estate, buildings, machinery, and other property employ ed in the busiuess. The State is al ready prospering more than any other of those lately in rebellion, and this wise measure will doubtless give a fresh impulse to the development of its manu facturing resources, j from Col. John I). Asliton Halcyon pale, Ga., ) Sept. 25th, 1872. $ Jus, E. Frost, Esq., Editor Expositor: Dear Sir :—Upon my return from Savannah this morning, I learn that the colored Republicans of Burke, at their meeting at. Waynesboro’ on Satur day last, adopted a resolution declaring their wish for fair and impartial repre sentation, and recommending Mr. Jno. F. Lawson, Judge Shewmake and my self to the support of their party at the approaching election for members of tho legislature. For this mark of their confidence and esteem I thank them; and as a patriot am grtified by such an evidence of kindness and good will on their part towards their only real relia ble friends—the whito people of the section in which they were born, and among whom from their childhood, they have been raised. I am a friend of their race, and wish them to understand it; but not more so than any other just and sensible Southern gentleman. Never were the interests of two raoes more closely allied than those of the white and black at the South ; and harmony and concord would long ago have pre vailed between them, but for fire-brands thrown into their midst by the imported emtnissarics of malevolence and hate. Issy imported, for the purpose of ex cepting some Southern men of their party who have counselled them to modera tion at least; and to whom, in my judg ment, we owe something for the tempo rate tone and general good behavior of the negroes in Burke. But while I w'ith every just and reflecting man, wish to see this people fairly and honestly dealt with iu all things and enjoy every right secured to them by tho laws of the land, I cannot be a candidate for the office they offer. lam informed and be lieve that their late action was prompted almost entirely by personal, rather than party consideration; and Judge Shew make may, as I am glad to learu he has done, accept with perfect propriety, the support which they have tendered him. He sacrifices nothing by his sim ple acquiescncc. But with me the case is entirely different. lam a Democrat upon principle. My opposition to the pretensions of the Central Committee in the late Convention was the result alone of firm and earnest convictions of right; and Hmss convictions still remain undisturbed. But I was a member of that Convention, took part in its deliberations, endorsed its nominees, and I intend to stand by them, whether iu tbe glory of triumph, or the darkness of defeat. I shall support them bravely and honestly. I will do nothing my self to endanger their success, nor per mit any one else to use me for such a purpose. They deserve the support of the whole people, black and while. I doubt if a better ticket could possibly have been nominated. They form an able and noble triumvirate; and if the resolution adopted by friauds of the Re- publican party expressed their real wishes—if they only desire to be ably, honestly andfaithfully represented, I assure them most sincerely they can find no truer or better men than these. Each one of them is well known as a friend of the colored people. Judge Shew make and Jones, as planters, and Ho mer C. Glisson, as a lawyer, have done more for them than any men whose course is known to me; and they will ever, whether as legislators or private citizens, treat them kindly, fairly and justly. And since my colored friends tad others of their party, have paid me the compliment of an emphatic endow ment, may I not ask them to pay me the farther compliment of takiug my advice upon a matter in which we are equally interested. I mean neither dis respect nor unkindness to them in de clining to be their candidate. But I was one of many who placed the above named gentlemen as candidates in the field, and I am sure they would not have me now turn around and try to defeat them; particularly as they are good, honest, competent, generous and liberal minded men. Such treachery would shock every high-minded man, and I do not believe evert my colored frieuds would have any respect for me if I were guilty of it. Whenever, I can do them a kindness, or serve them for their own good, it will give me pleasure to do so. John D. Ashton. Horatio Seymour, the Democratic Candidate for President of the United States in 18*>8, has taken the stump for Greeley. [COMM UNICATEI).] To the Democratic Tarty of llnrkc <'onuty. I have received the unsolicited nom ination of tho party as one of your can didates to represent the county in the next General Assembly. If elected I j hope the other two gentlemen on the | ticket will be also elected. If lam de feated I hope they will not be. But if elected it must bo principally by your votes; and if defeated it will ho by your failure to sustain your oun nom ination. I nm informed that some persons, claiming to be of the party, are seeking to defeat mo by reporting that 1 am in favor of what is commonly now called the fence law, upon which I have to say: Whatever may bo my opinion of the policy of the country touching that im portant question cannot now be a mat ter of any cousequence, and ought not unwisely to be made au issue in the ap proaching election; because the fence question itself bss past the ordeal of the last legislature, and by it submitted to a direct vote of the people in July next. Boing thus disposed ot by its reference to the people, they can de cide the matter themselves by a dft-ect vote, arid ouyht so to do, pledging my self not to oppose the will of the people in the premises. J. B. Jones. Herndon, Sept. 23J, 1872. [From tho Macon Telegraph it Messenger] "Respectable" White Men Running as Radical Candidates. We trust the people clearly under stand the position that all white men wbo now permit themselves to be run for office as Radical candidates, volun tarily occupy. Wo hear it rumored that the negroes of Bibb county con template nominating “respeetable , 'wlute men for the Legislature, and that ru mor suggosts this article. These, or any other white men who thus allow themselves to be used—if they intend to be true to their allies— commit themselves to the doctrine of cterna 1 hostility between the whites and the blacks of the South. They dcelare by such a courso, that they do not wish peace and reconciliation between the whites and blacks of this sections, aad with Boutwoll, protest against the peo ple of the North and the people of the South clasping Lands as frieuds across the bloody chasm, dug by war and radi cal hate. They virtually say to the ne groes, “ Continue to hate the white peo ple always, and destroy them whenever you can. They are your enemies, aud you should crush them everywhere you have the power.” They virtually advo cate a war of races with all its horrors of blood, rapine, arson, aud wholcsalo butchery, and they say to the world by putting themselves in the hands of the uegrocs, that they are willing to lead them against the whites when it comes. This is what white men wbo let the ne groes nominate them for office at tho South, now, pledge themselves to. They also pledge themselves to vote to make the people of Georgia pay more than six millions fraudulent bonds is sued by Bullock and his gang here and iu Wall street. This is what Clews’ money is being so freely distributed all over Georgia to accomplish. If these so-called respectable men are elected they are bound to vote to saddle this crushing load upon their impoverished fellow-citizens. Audit meaus DOUBLE taxes and speedy financial ruin. These are the facts and they are in disputable, and no man knows them bet ter than these so-called respectable white men who arc fishing for negro Radical nominations. Let all bear in mind the facts, and when any of these so called respectable white men refers to his past standing as evidence of his character now, bring him to book with them. They cannot servo two masters in this fight. They are either for or against their own color. The Grant leaders have proclaimed this to be the true line to be occupied by tbe party at the South, and all who ask party favors must plumb it. These so called can’t wiggle out of it, oithcr, writhe and twist as they may. Scarcity ok Money. —That is the cry just now from Cincinnati, Chicago, Philadelphia,, and, in fact, all the groat money centres, -There is plenty of it— millions and millions down in wall street —but the cliques have it snug under lock and key, and anybody that wants it mutt pay rates of interest that will ruin him, anyhow.— New York Express.
