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 4'OMI‘I.IMKAT T4> Ol It 4'4>> - 4? It I'.IS 4'ITIIKAN. 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. A Good Skin.—During the scssi- u of Uie Missouri Conference of the M. K. Church, South, at Mexico, Mo., last week, the Protestant Kpiscopal Church was opened to tho .Methodist preachers, and the pulpit tendered, morning and evening. The Rev. J. W. Cunningham preached in the morning, and ltev. J. C. Wills at night This is a good sign, snd we hope 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. 4Jreeley Wrote tie I’l-itjer. 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 Galena, Illinois. We follow him into Missouri, aud from dar to Fort Donelson and Henry, till wc comes to Pittsburg Landin, wliar de said lie got drunk ; hut, brodren, dut is all a lie from de beginnin 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 lions for de freedom ob de slaves." Here they cheered Underwood aud I left. The following speech is attributed to a member of the Legislature of Pennsylva nia I know wimun. Mr. Speaker ; i say it in n* disrespect . I know urn ; 1 have had a heap to do with urn ; tlieyre a use ful class, and—and yet with the best of 'em you may have trouble."

DKNTNj 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 tain* 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.
