Tin: ITCl.lk OP COUTIINT. When a wle man acta about a work, he naturally conaidcra at the very first, the difficulties in the way, ami adopts a plan for their removal or conquest He counts, as far tut rnny be, the cent. In nothing la this prudent primary action more neces sary than in the conduct of a political un dertaking. Given, that the proposed achievement is hoooruble and patriotic ; that It involves the weal of tliousauad; that to fall must entail great evils; that the odds urc against the undertaker ; and that the time lor the accomplishment of tho work is short, —wisdom, prudence, patriot ism,—all unite to urge the adoption of the best plan and the employment of the most worthy and /available means In entering upon the campaign in lllbb county and Ih theVlth Congressional His trict, what does this wisdom suggest ? 1. Thill lire imum hr projterly defined. TJjoy are not personal to candidates—but such as affect the whole people In ull their Interests and relations They are not con fined to classes. There is no division of interests What is important lor tho Innd owner Is equally so for the laborer. What interests tho merchant must lie important to tho planter. And wlmt cornea home to the white citizen cannot be unimportant to tho colored. Necessary measures arc not party measures. The protection of industries, the development of resource* the diminishing of taxes, and an honest economical home government, are matters universal and pertinent to all alike. Much are the Issues of tho Hlatu and district campaign. What class of can didates licst represent the right of these issues? Who, in tho field, seeking the sulli ages of his foUow-eitlzeas, stands, by honor, previous history,and solemn pledge, for the whole people in the contest—out sido of nil party considerations? These are questions to ponder seriously, and they ask the unprejudiced thoughts of every citizen. 2. 7 hat the difficulties iti the tuny <f a righteous judgment, nnd of the tuccees of right, be carefully eanratsed. What are they ? A bitter pnrly feeling at once suggests itself. No matter bow this feeling came about, or wbo U funning Its Haines. Does it exist ? If yes, can It bo overcome ? and bow ? Not by drawing strict lines. Not by violent opposition to the prejudices of ig norant men. It must lie done by reasona ble methods. Light is too much for dark ness A devoted effort to remove prejudi ces ennuot ho lost, together with a deter mined purpose to carry truth and right over them. A common partisan method is blatant tlircnlciilugs, the loud expletives of (party assurance, the vulgar thunder of knaves ami fools—but the steady pressing of the oompaci hosts of determined,respon sible constituents, will disarm all such campaigners, and rob them of their more humane adherents. We pay no regard to threats from a po litical pnrly, us against the rights and du ties of freemen who are striving to redeem their country and to preserve their State. When men of thought and purpose thus eomblue, all the (himinations that corrup tion, malice, disloyally ami plunder can belch forth, will not lessen their number or enfeeble their efforts. H is stated that the Grant party is organ izing and drilling to seize the polls on elec tion day, and by threats, intimidations and riots, regain Its supremacy in the State We withhold our cenftdeueo in this state ment But If it he true, It is as jxiwerless ns It is imbecile. Who wants riot and bloodshed, and sanguinary strife ? l>o our colored citizens? Then let them eoiue to the polls armed nnd equipped as for war, and their invitation will uot remain un heeded. Hut they cau desire no such dis play, and will, we are assured, attempt no such folly. Wo believe that they are learning rap idly the art of self-interest, and that it is found in coalition with their white fellow citizens, and uot w ith the predatory emis saries sent among them by Mr. Grant ami the Uadic&l leaders. 3. That the epirit of tictorioue ri-’fit. be inculeated and exhibited in ali our tforte. llu who goes to battle w ith doubts as to hi* cause or as to his ability to win it, merits, and will meet, defeat. We are laboring, not for a short campaign only, but for a long future The principles we announce, and the objects we present, are not temporary things to be hid away when the present issue is past. If in the event, we should be defeated, in respect of immediate victory,our prin ciples will survive, aad will bare gained a lodgment aud an omnipresent influence which must turn the scale for the right Bnd the true, in time. p The Spirit of Victory' What if major ities confront us? What if formidable engineries of money, corruption, chicanery Administration machinery, ami all the heavy artillery of despotism and central ism, belch forth their filth and fire ? The firm step, the steady onward, tho unflinch ing purpose, the bunded hearts and unconquerable courage of honest men of knowledge nnd of action, will spike or capture them In a little time There must he no Achan in the camp , no one whose traitorous soul can he bought with gold or the bonds of the oppressor ; no one who for pluco or pre ferment, will surrender himself or Ids people to tho enemy I Let all be oelivc, harmonious, deter mined, and pusli the battle—in the spirit of victory. Go la to win ’■ It Is your right. It is your province. It is within the compass of your power ! We do not say "now or never" or, "now you must succeed or ho forever ruined I" We do not say that, nor do we believe it. Wo say that which is better. Go in to win! note, If you can, hut go in! If not now, then, and ever after. Hut let every man heed tho cry of duty, and let him not stay upon tho order of his going. What can you do in seven days? God made tho world—see if you cannot save your State—in hcvcii dnys! A\ I A.II NT ANPKItNION. We are loathe to take a serious jiosltion against our city cotomporary, the Tele graph nml Messenger, hut two articles, which have appeared editorially, in that paper within tho week, are so conspicu ously unjust nml incendiary, that WO do not hesitate for ourselves and all law uhiding citizens, to visit them nml their authors with unqunlillcd condemnation. In reference to the “Pistol Law” article, the person chiefly accused, is allowed to speak for himself, In our columns. The article t which wc now refer appeared this morning, headed “Jteepcctablo" white men running us liailical candidates," and is characterized by as much venom us anything ever attributed to the Satanic pen of Wemlcll Phillips. Wo deprecate its appearance. We uru united with our neighbor in fighting this campaign on the principles of tho Cincinnati and Baltimore, and Atlanta platforms agultist ltadicalism iu ull lls feature*. We are conscicutieusly tho uncompromising foe of Grant's Ad ministration, ami the principles underlying it, and can show as brave and consistent a record as the Telegraph and Messenger. Hut wc take tho liberty of culling that journal to order—uncut the article in question. It is full of wicked (uninten tional wo will say) sophistry, and breathes a spirit of parly hriinstono entirely out of accord with principle, good sense, and good manners. “ Respectable white men ” who cun ac cept Radical nominations, arc not, there fore, the advocates of "theft," "arson," " butchery,” etc.., etc., see Telegraph and Messenger; but do a service to their country—whether in their election or In their defeat —and save their country wrongs that would otherwise ho entailed. Do we adopt all Mr. Greeley's isms—ns they are called—and purticulurly his pol icy of Free Trade, when wo accept him on our platform ? Hut, we have no heart to argue our neighbor’s positions. They are unworthy of him, and deservo the severest censure. Wo impe not to ho drawn out in a lengthened protest or argument, hut, if such articles are put forth hy a Demo cratic press, wo shall feel it our duty—as honest Democrats, to oppose them with wiser counsel. ■— * (JUF.iaEI • Ulf EAT SPEECH. Speech of Ihc Ounpnitrii f.rccley to the fvlsreil People. The Square Issue. Reading lor ltlaek ami W hite. The following is the full report of Mr. Horace Greeley's great speecli at Louis ville, delivered before au immense assem blage last Saturday evening (taken from the Louisville Ledger). We commend its perusal to eur colored citizens particular ly, since it contains vital facts bearing on Mr. Greeley's relation to them VIK. ORKKI.KV’B St’KKCII AT TIIK OALT IIOUBK. Ciiiten* of Louin iIU ; Standing on this soil of Kentucky, t ask you, who are my associates In the great Liberal movement of tlie day, to bear testimony with me to certain truths. First, is it not true that we desire a government of Just and equal laws, which shall extend equal tavor and equal protection to every American citi zen ? [Great applause, and cries of "That’s so.'] Is it not true that while wc demand repeal of all disfranchisement, of all proscriptions of Americans because of tlib part they bore iu the late stiuggle. w e desire that uo mail shall tie disfranchised, llmt no man shall lie proscribed, but that every man shall staud on an equal plat form with ourselves ? Is not that the fact ? [Cries of "Yes, that’s se "] Is it not true that we have no expectations, no purpose, no understanding. Unit the rebel debt shall be paid, or the rebel soldiers pensioned, or the slaves, emancipated by the result of the war, paid for ? Is it not true that we have no pur|iose or expecta tion or understanding that any of these shall lie done ' [Groat applause, and cries of "You are right.”] Now. fellow-citizens, I wish to call your attention to one aspect of this struggle which has uot been presented. There is no class of our citizens, no part of the American jH-ople who have so real and great an interest in the success of our movement as the eelored people of this country, for though they know that wc all admit that their rights are perfectly secured by- the Constitution, and that no one can go back of that, it is still their real interest that those rights shall not be merely ac corded, but that they shall be cheerfully accorded , that there shall Ire no opposi tion. no objection to tbeir enjoying just the same political aud civil rights that we do. It is their interest more than yours or mine that all contention concerning black men or white men shall absolutely cease, that every individual shall be judged aud esti mated according to his worth, with no re spect whatever to color or condition. If c or movement succeeds, there is no party, there is no considerable faction, really there is nobody left in the field opposing or objecting to their standing on a com mon platform of American nationality.— [Great applause ] I say, then, that it is their c lear interest that our movement shall lie welcomed and ratified and approved by the entire American people, and yet it is u very discouraging fact presented to us that there is no other classjso generally and so bitterly opposing us as they are. There is no other class, as a class, who insist so thoroughly on misapprehending and mis representing us. I say this uot to excite prejudice against them. They are igno rant, and their ignorance is not their own fault, though it is their and our misfortune. They are misled, and we are calumniated in their ears. Why, I havo been repeat edly asked to contradict assertions that I have been a negro trader. Even on my way to this place, one quadroon girl, ufter hearing mo speak, said : “ I would like to stick a knife into his heart, lie sold my mother iu Kichruoud, Vn” [Great ap plause.] 1 cun imagine no reason why lies like that should be told. I cau imagine no reason why good men and women should not everywhere discountenance and refute them. It is, I say, a misfortune of the colored people, a misfortune of our peo ple, that they, as a class, are steeled against us. They will not hear us. They do not believe us. They are told that lids move ment is a contrivance to get them enslaved again, virtually if uot absolutely, and that all the pretensions of the Cincinnati plat form and Baltimore endorsement in favor of equal rights are frauds, are lies. If this party succeeds, says Mr. Wendell Phillips, you must conceal your property and take care of your arms. Now, fel low-citizens, 1 statu these facts here uot that I would have you think any worso of this misguided people; I state them be cause I want you Kentuckians to rcaliz,e that ignorance is a public peril; that you cannot well afford to have any part of your people growing up iu that dense un iiquaintuiicc witli public order and puldic allairs that they can be deceived and mis led as this people are. You want to luke care that they shall he educated, so that they shall be too wise, too well Informed to lie thus de ceived and misguided. Fellowclti zeng, if our movement shall prevail, as 1 trust it will prevail, we will sweep away all this refuge of lies in three months. We will say to the colored men: We proffer you nothing except the protection of the laws, the sumo for you as for us. You have your living to earn us well as we. You will have to use all your abili ties, all your energies, uil you'- faculties, and make the most of them you can. The laws do not favor you, but they will thor oughly protect you ; and iu three months, if we succeed tho colored people will Ire so disgusted that the same men cau never deceive them again—never again. Hut suppose we fail, and we may fail. [A voice, "We are not going to fail.”] Our great duuger is this : If the colored men did not Itelievc that tho power was against us, that the money was against us, if they did uot realize thut t lie Treas ury, the array, the one hundred thousand olllce holders were all banded against ns, in a force which they believe wo can not overcome, they certainly would not he so universally hostile to os. They think wc cannot succeed, ami they want to be on the winning side. That is a part of it; but tlu-y are also deluded in regard to our purposes. Wc say we are not your enemies , we will uot be your oppressors —we will not. though you have done us injustice. We will try, as well as well as we can, to have your, children educated, so that the mistakes you have made can not be made over and over again. That is where wc stand. Now, fellow-citizens, why do wo con demn proscription? They mistake who any that there ure only two or three hun dred left, now forbidden to exercise the common rights of American citizens. It is not so. There arc thousands. There are five thousand disfranchised iu the Hlnto of Arkansas alone, andJthe men w ho hold them disfranchised expect to carry that Htnto against us by virtue of that disfran chisement. Hut it is not the number pro scribed. Men who are not under this ban, feel themselves proscribed because others are, for an offense which was tlieir offense as well. So long as you have a proscribed class in tho country, men all around you, honorable, generous men, will feel, ” I ought to be proscribed the same as that man. The dillercuco was only by accident, lie happened to tnko an oath or fill an office before the struggle that I did not, but his guilt was no more than mine. Ac cident only makes him proscribed and leaves mo free. ” So that so long as there shall be a pro scribed class in this country, proscription will rankle in the hearts of millions of Americans who feel that they themselves are condemned and banned in the act which dooms tlieir leaders. It is not for tlio sake of the proscribed alono that I speak Every community has tho right to the best services of all its citizens. Men say to me, "Why, you don’t want to elect Governor Wise or Toombs, or somebody else, do you? No, 1 don’t want to elect any of those men, hut suppose other peo ple do? Who are you ; who am Ito say whether they shall or uot? It is not a question for me; but whether American citizens whom you say have the same rights to vote anil hold office for you shall la- at liberty to vote for the meu they pre fer, or shall be compelled to vote for the men you prefer. Tho question reaches uot several hundred, but millions of our people. Well, they say : " What do the people care about this? The hanks are making money, the people are prosper ing. manufactures are thrifty. Who cares that a few hundred or thousand meu are disfranchised ?” I care. 1 say a war which ended near ly' eight years ago ought to have had near ly all its bloody traces wiped out before this time. [Great applause ] I say that while wo have often been amused with promises of general amnesty, the govern ment of the country has practically been controlled by men like Senators Morton, Chandler and Gen. Butler. Senator Chand ler is saying, “ Well, all may forgive rebels if they will, but 1 never can." Now, that spirit is uot one that should rule a repub lican country. A republic should be gen erous and faithful—generous to errors whereof the very last evil consequences have long since faded away. Grant that it was wrong, indefensibly wrong ; the at tempt has been nobly battled and defeated. Grant that the whole Confederate move ment was as heinous as you please ; still It was utterly defeated ; it became a lost cause ; and there is no more probability, and 1 might say, no more possibility, of auother serious attempt to divide this American Union than there is of an at tempt to disrupt and destroy the solar sys tem. Never before did tbs Union stand so strong as to day. Never was Its future so assured as it is to day, and never did any movement result in more complete and ut ter discomfiture than the Confederate move ment Then 1 say seven and a half years after the last shot was tired in behalf of that movement, “it is time for amnesty complete and perfect; it is time tor obliv ion of offenses that so long since passed away." Fellow-citizens, we stand on the princi ples embodied in our platform. These principles our adversaries do not assail- Tbey confess judgment, but they insinuate that a purpose is therein Indicated which is notour real purpose, and that wc mean something utterly different, and thereupon they proceed to attribute to us purposes which we never cherished, which we pos itively disavow, and which they ought to know are utterly absurd. Tho most im portant of them are utterly forbidden by the Constitution, and they know it. No man can go to Congress, or be chosen President, without taking a solemn oath to sustain the Constitution, which abso lutely forbids the payment of the rebel debts, or the payment for emancipated slaves I commend my cause to the sober judgment of the American people. I ask them to judge us .without prejudice, with out passion, and with spirits unmingled by wrath and ,vengcance. I ask them to judge as citizens who are sincerely trying to do what we believe best for our coun try ; and I do trust that passion and preju dice will not prevail; that we shall be judged as we are, and not e i we are repre sented, and that the beneficent triumph which will increase the vulue of every acre of laud in thcßouthcrn States, which will increase the product of these States, make their people harmonious—black and white —and make them live in a more trustful, peaceful, and fraternal relation than they have hitherto held toward each other—l trust that this result will he at tained, and that generations to come shall rejoice over tho inception, the progress, and tho triumph of the Liberal movement. [Applausc.J Friends, I bid you good uigbt. Mr. Jos. B. Iteese, tbe clever editor oi the Press and Messenger (Eatonton) hon ored us with a call this morning. The Press nnd Messenger is a valuable paper, and is edited witli tact and sound ability. —, We are glad to welcome the Talbotton American at our office. It is haudsomer than ever, and is vigorously and ably edi ted by Mr. Joseph L. Dennis. Wo wish it continued and abounding success. The Administration, through the Attor ney General, lias refused to interfere with the sentence passed upon KuKlux prison ers from the Southern States. There seems to be no hope, and Mr. Stephens' letter had no other effect than to produce a labored reply. Till: PEOPLE'S TICKET. Tlic following announcement has been handed to us for publication, by responsi ble citizens. PEOPLE'S CANDIDATES. In consequence of the restrictions put upon our political meetings, by the liest and similar resolutions, wo suggest the names of E. C. UKA.miSS, AND W. .1. IHcELROV, for the Legislature of the State of Georgia from Bibb county. These gentlemen will be voted for by all conservative men, and One thousand OTHERS. MR. J. F. LONG. lie denies the charge of the Telegraph and Messenger, and he deqirccates the resort to “Pistol Law.'' Editor Daily Enterprise: —My atten tion has just been called to an editorial in the Telegraph and Messenger of the 24th inst., entitled “Pistol Law." As said article places us in a false position and is directly calculated to mislead, and inflame the public mind, I feel it to be a duty I owe myself and the public generally to correct the same. The writer states that “we are informed that Jeff. Long in a so called speech to the negroes on the River Road last Saturday, he told them that the only way to carry the county was to get and hold possession of the polls, and they must come armod for that purpose." Last Saturday I spoke at Perry, Houston coun ty and 1 did not on that occasion or on any other occasion use the language charg ed, nor any language which could by any legitimate rules of construction be tortur ed into any such meaning, and the false hood of the charge is only equaled by its infamy. Any person who would thus recklessly and falsely give you Buch information dur ing a heated political oanvass, deserves tho Just condemnation of the whole communi ty, and if tho Telegraph and Messenger would rid itself of the suspicion of having manufactured this grave charge, it will give to an indignant public the name of this would-be assassin and violator of the public peace. The second charged contained in said article as to the negroes nightly drilling, etc., is too absurd to challenge public at tention. We meet in the evenings after the days’ labors are ended, to discuss quietly the political issues of the day, aud if this is not our right, then indeed we have none. My friends, both black and white, know that 1 have ever been an advocate of peace and fraternity, for I well know the black and white races must live to gether. Ours is a common country, a com mon destiny, a common brotherhood, and we can only live together in peace ana unity. These being my honest convictions, and having tried at all times in my feeble way to impress these convictions upon the peo ple |of my own race, I can but be sur prised at the action of the Telegraph and Messenger in giving publication to slan ders, placing me iu such a false position, und which are calculated to disturb the peace of society, unless it be but an excuse for its own revolutionary advice that ••Georgia must be carried at all hazards.” "My son Sammy’ make money, make it honestly if you can. but make money." The Telegraph and Messenger may make such appeals to its many readers, but my love of peace aud order is too deep, and my respect for constitutional law too abiding, to blind my judgment and lead me to utter such words. Very respectfully, J. F. Long. Blessings brighten as tiiet take their flight. —The chief of blessing is good health, without which nothing is worth the having ; it is always appreciated at its true value after it is lost, but, too oft en, uot before.
