Great deeda ipring from two cuunen
uuitod ; n noune of accountability to (Jod,
and a acgiae of duty to man. In the ex
cilcmcnU of a heated political campaign,
nothing in easier than to forget them both
in the fervor of [terminal preference.
It in the nhntne of the age w live in.
perhnpn ol all pant uges, that tho political
character of duty in universally net down
as belittling to nnd almost beneath the ro
cognllion of a good man. It seems to tie
tacitly understood that, to urge a political
duly, In to Invite a man to engage in a
questionable performance derogatory of
the highest type nf character
Politics is designated a cesspool of all
corruption, or the low arena of debasing
aims and practices To taken fervent po
sltinn in relation to the government of
one's country, Is thought to prove, iti some
way, a relinquishment of those relations
which liuk one with God and heaven It
is not dillicult to detect tho source of this
common opinion. It is found iu the uar
rawest p*Hsible conception of the law of
human duty, and a false interpretation of
that rule which binds ull men to "render
Unto Ciesar the things that are ( tesar's, and
unto God the things that are God's.” A
blind, unreasoning faith, a dim and un
worthy comprehension of the truth, and a
false claim to purity of character, assumed
by the Christian world, have denied the
grand obligation laid iu the oft quoted
expression of the good Baviour.
Nothing an be more impressive thuu
the proper sense of thut obligation rigidly
understood and bravely met. The words
of Joseph Mnzziui are ringing iu our
ears—" Nothing is of Cesar unless it be
such in conformity with the law of God.
Cesar—that Is to say, tho Temporal (lower,
or civil government, is but the ndministrn
lor mid the executive, as far as lies iu its
power, of the design of the Almighty.
Whensoever it is fulse to its mission and
trust, it Is, I do not say your right, but
your duty to change It." A better dcfiui
lion than that, of the Master's words, has
not caught our reason.
To neglect, or refuse to perform, a (>o
iillcalduty is criminal. To refuse to do
lend political or human rights is criminal.
To make so called religious duties and po
litical or civil obligations confront one an
other and assume antagonistic relations is
a species of ignorance, or else the boldest
hypocrisy.
No duty is degrading. Every duty
eonnoeta with God and with man. No
calling is little that tends to increase
the safety of men and their huppi
ness. Aud uo religious duty is alone
religious In the sense claimed , it be
comes thoroughly so when It takes In
the civil and the human view. A religion
wholly of the heart is without a mission.
Its life is ael/lsliue**, and iu duties arc per
sonal, and iu iufluenoe Is unreal. A dream
of lifo without cares, responsibilities and
sacrifices, in the cause of humanity, is such
a faith—and the ignoring of fiesar Is the
ignoring of Gist! |We apprehend a graver
danger, however, in the opposite camp. If
Christians, by. a false view, have thrown
off the yoke ol political obligation liecause
of iu degrading tendency and surrouud
ings . politician*, tlius classed spurt, have,
in turn, cast away the divine element in
politics
To enter the political aivna. it is thought
oue outers hell, and leaves hope behind
Assuredly one does not eutsr heaven
in Die way el any human duly while ini
mnulty is as it is, lie Unit duty classed as
it may. Humanity iu itself is hell, hut its
bolu arc withdrawn, its gales turned out
ward. and its darkness lilted, by the evan
gel* of obligation aud duty, who, tor con
science sake and iu obedience to Gods
own law, thunders out their mission.
Will the time ever come when [Hitili
cisns shall plan, move and execute iu the
fear of God ? Will the day ever dawn
when the conduct of a political campaign
shall recognise God as w ell as Cesar ? We
piaut ourselves on the affirmative, and
boldly declare to the sleeping Church
that that day will come wheu, Christians
feel tbeir political obligations and pro
ceed to perform them—as they uow should i
(rerfwrm their religious duties- with voice,
aud licail and pen There w ill be revi
vals iu polities, as in religion, and obsti
nate sinners will be converted.
There will be convicting, amt conver
ting, and rousing sermons preached on
(.'war's aide and to Cesar * household, ou
Cesar's duties, rights aud liberties The
forgotten element of moral obl a tion,
will lie aroused in the political conscience,
and men will be held to appear before the
Bar of God. to answer for political “deeds
done in the body, w hether they be good or
bad ” We shall then have the gospel of
politics, and the politics of the gospc! in !
aisled on with the ardor of overmastering
conviction, and lire faith of men will apply
itself to every branch of human activity.
Boclety will become settled. Public af
fair* will assume a properly sacred chur
alter, the politician will not be tire preda
tory human wolf, fierce, uncouth, ami
voracious—and tiro development erf hu
manity will tar recognized as resting on a
Providential Law which all men will feci
Ivruml to kuow aud employ.
We can easily detect Uie contemptuous
curl of tire pious (?) lip at these sayings of
ours, hut that does not shake our confi
dence In their wisdom, or cause us to relax
otir lutrors for their realization.
Ol II IOIVI*¥ -NOVI IVI.
’MOAN.
Two of the gentlemen nominated for
the legislature, were chosen by acclumu
lion, namely . Mr. C. A. Nuttiug uud Mr.
A. O. Bacon. Tills was a fitting recog
nltlon ol their distinguished services dur
ing the last session. Mr. Nulling, as our
readers are aware, was our first choice for
Congress from the Bixlli Congressional
District, ami we have no desire to conceal
our disappointment at bis defeat. Our
knowledge of him Is of an intimate char
ncler, ami we do not hesitate to say, that
no man, ill our range of acquaintance,
contains the important qualifications lor
that position, in the present slate of af
fairs, in his person and character, to a
greater degree than he. Hut. as another
gentleman Is the nomiuee, we heartily en
dorse him, and purpose to labor for bis
success, believing that be will fulfil the
cx|iectnitons of bis most sanguine friends,
and discharge his duties with the noblest
fidelity to Ids constituency, as well as
honor to himself. Of no less Importance,
in our judgment, is tho selection of men
for our Btate Assembly. Grave questions
affecting more immediately ourselves, will
require the largest practical knowledge,
to sullle, in the legislation of the State.
Mr Nuttiug is eminently qualified to
consider and adjust them. If elected, as
we doubt not he will be, all citizens will
feel that the affairs of State, so far as they
urn moulded ami directed by him, will
rcllecl the soundest wisdom anil the great
est utility.
It lias been affirmed that the defeat of
Mr. Nulling for Congress, Is an evidence
of his weakness in his awn county as a
leader of the people. This is a mistake.
No man commands their confidence to u
greater extent, and no man can (Mill a
heavier vote, in a general election, fairly
conducted, tliuu lie. Wo lire confident,,
therefore, of his election, and congratulate
the people on his acceptance of a place on
the popular ticket
Of Mr. Bacon amt Colonel Simmons,
we huvu already spoken These gentle
men deserve the fullest confidence and
recognition of (lie people. Their aiiilities
are only equaled fiy their labors. To de
feat them, would he to bring the gravest
calamities home to our doors. Both have
been trudueod, misunderstood, uml mis
represented. lloth have discharged their
important duties with unflinching fidelity
to the trusts confided to them, and with a
conscientious purpose, which commands
distinguished praise. They viurt bo re
turned, ami let all the people say—amen.
Mr. Lockett is a stranger to us, but not
to the people of Bibb county. Ho is
known and trusted, far uml wide. He is,
la the best estimate, a representative man,
and will do Ids whole duty without res
ervation. With such leaders, no people
should bo wanting in enthusiasm.
But work is the order of the day. To
trust to tho personal offorts of noble load
ers, simply, is insufllclcnt They must he
sustained Their laimrs must bo emulated.
Koch man must leal the responsibility of
a contest so Important, and fraught with
so grave possibililios
We take the occasion, therefore, to ad
dress our words to every man In ttie
county, black and white. On you rests
this responsibility. To you it is given to
oleot those gentlemen, and thus contribute
to your prosperity and the prosperity of
the commonwealth. Let the nearness of
election day remind you that w hat you do
must l>e done quickly.
Begin to-day, and couliuue to give a
portion of each day to your State until the
election closes, ami yen are rewarded, by
the triumph of your patriotic efforts

Professor Langston (colored) recently
delivered a speech in Tennessee, in the
interests of Grant. Ho tried to Ik- severe
on Horace Greeley, but found little sym
pathy among id* ow n people on that Hue.
Horace Greeley cannot lie abused with
any grace by a colored man, aud Imng
ston should be hissed off tho platform
when he attempts so dastardly a business,
l’arts of the Professor's speech were tiue
and thrilling In defence of the industry
and frugality of the colored race, he paid
the following compliment to our city and
to our iudustrious fellow-citizens of color
If you go with uie to the city of Macon.
Georgia. 1 will carry you to the highlands
about that city, where you may count five
hundred, perhaps. little new houses, built
| and owned by negroes emancipated by the
I war There you find our tattlers and
| mothers, sous aud daughters, living in
pence and prtpcrity and happiness, under
] their ow n roof. Travel over this country
i aud see the churches and school-houses
wc have erected since our slavery, church-
I os and school-houses built with mouey
1 earned by Laid work, aud answer me the
| question now. are these people beggars?
No. I tell you that they are not beggars.

to see it imitated and excelled in Georgia
SOI Ml
The following article, taken by us
from the Catholic Miror, present* an lui
portant matter in the true light. We beg
to commend it to our readers witli our
most emphatic emloraemcnt;
Ant'SH AH A PoUTH'AI. IMPLEMENT.
As the campaign progresses, it unfortu
nately increases in bitterness General
James B Hall, of Maine, in a speech which
he made in Indiana a few days ago, grew
indignant with his subject, and declared
among other things that "Horace Greeley
is an infamous old scoundrel, and Carl
Hcliurz is an infidel, an atheist, an exile and
a Dutchman." Whether the irascible Gen
eral deemed the final epithet against Mr.
Scliurz us a climax to hi* abusive torrent
wo are not fully advised, but according to
the rule* of rhetoric it mu*t be so regarded
According to the rule* of decency—by
which, however General Hall’s speech
cannot Is: duly measured —the matter as
sullies a different ligiii. To be u “Dutch
mail’' may he a grave offense in some
pie's eyes, especially in those of unrepent
ant Know-Nothings. Those ardent cham
pions of tue principle ofnativism no doubt
regard the “Dutchman” as a more hein
ous crime than "infidel, atheist aud exile.”
And "exile” is perhaps less excusable
limn "infidel" and "atheist.” The slid
ing scale of Know Nothing morality pre
sents some curious developments of polili
ical philosophy. Wc inler, consequently,
that this amiable Gen. Hall has deliberately
wreaked himself with fancied vehemence
of severity on the word “Dutchman," as
being in his opinion the most serious of all
the charges winch Ids inventive genius
was able to level at tiro terrible Missouri
Senator. Our German fellow citizens will
no doubt thoroughly appreciate the deli
cate compliment Huts paid to their race
and nationality, and form llieir own opin
ion, touching the claims of its author to
tbeir resjicct, and of his party to their
favor.
Whether Mr. Greeley is justly obnox
ious to the gentlemanly accusation of
General ilall wc Imrdly think there are
two opinions. "An iufumous old scoun
drel !" is pretty plain language—too plain,
by far, as General Hull, after the sober
second thought, has possibly already dis
covered. We do not here propose to en
ter upon a discussion of the merits of Mr.
Greeley or General Grunt for the Presi
dency. But we do protest most earnestly
against billingsgate and ribaldry, no mat
ter whether it is directed against the Pres
ident tlmt is, or the President that is try
ing to lie. Scoundrel, liar and thief are
words most easily uttered, ami most fre
quently do we bear them in the mouths
of men who are no better than they ought
to be. While politicians on both sides, iu
inutiy instances, will yield themselves up
to vituperation and onslaught on oppo
nents, to the general regret of all respecta
ble people, it is still more lamentable to
fin the press sinning in the same way.
Fuir dealing is Hung to the winds by ma
ny leading Journals ; studied, systematic
misrepresentation , traduction, scandal and
the unscrupulous tirades are all bandied
about from one side and the other with
shocking Indifference to the interests of
truth, Hie dignity of journalism, nnd the
charity of the Gospel. One of the most
melancholy features of the political demor
alization is the knowledge on the part of
the writers of such tirades as we are indi
cating, that niue-teutlis of the intelligent
people of the community don’t believe a
word of all they suy. With this knowl
edge, they nevertheless continue to pour
ft,rlh their vulgar assaults aud feel fully
compensated if the ignorance and stupid
ity or the remaining one-tenth part ol the
people can he Imposed on and abused
into a belief that the disreputable articles
thus constantly scut forth have founda
tion iu truth. The opprobrium of a cold
blooded calculation iu fraud is thus super
added to the infamy and sin of bearing
false witness against your neighbor.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati En
quirer, from Marysville, Ohio, gives the
following account of a speech by brother
Underwood :
He is a colored man, and is speaking in
the interests ol Grant, and the follow ing
is substantially wliat he said ou the point
"Bredhen , 1 comes before you dis day
to tell you that Uiuerul Grant freed de
slaves, aud to do sieli a noble work is
wordy of all acceptation. We see Gin
eral Grant before do waw tannin hides at

to do end I was dar or darabouts, and
to prove lie was not drunk I will say dat.
in de American Conflict, a history of do
waw* written by Greeley, lie say* in de
second volume, in speaking of Shiloh, dat
Oincral Grant came onto de battle-field at
half-post ten o'clock, a. \* . and John C.
Abbott, a member of de small Abbott
family says dc same tiling. [A voice—
How about J I>. Webster, Grant's Adju
tant, saving that lie was with Grant the
night be fine, ami that Grant entered the
field of battle al 8,30 a. m?] I'se got
nothin' to do wid Webster, 1 ’sposed he
war dead long ago ami left a large w ill,
which 1 hah nebor read. But, bredren. if
Glueral Grant war on de battle-field at
10 12 o'clock lie war dar for sure and
could not nave been drunk kasc he war
dar sober, for Greeley says so. [A voice
from u colored man—Don't Webster proie
too much ?J I'so talkin' ob Horace Gree
ley who wrote de prayer eh twenty mil

they cheered Underwood aud I left.

Scrutator asks for tho origin of the fol
lowing lines, which he has licaid quoted
once or twice;
“This night my friend, so lste in battle lost,
■Stood at my Bide, a (wnnive, plaintive gfiot."
They form a part of the immortal sen
tences which Homer puts into the mouth
of Achillea, offer the death of Patroclus,
and may be found In Pope's translation of
Homer, Book 28. The whole passage
reads thus :
" TU true. 'U* certain; timn, though dead, re

Fart of himself; th’immortal mind remaitiß :
The form subsist* without the body’s aid,
.Krial semblance, and an empty shade!
This night my friend, bo late in battle lost,
Stood Btmy side a pensive, plaintive ghost;
Even now familiar, as In life, he came,
Alus, how dill'rent! yet how like the same.”
The translation is liberal, but the senti
ment in the original cannot be foo strongly
declared in any language.
