The Republicans of Baldwin County
met pursuant to a call for the purpose of
electing delegates to the State Republican
Convention, to convene in the city of At
lanta, August 21st, 1872, to nominate Gov
ernor, and place an Electoral ticket in the
field.
On motion Albert Calhoun was called
to the Chair, and O. T. Adams was chosen
Secretary.
Hon. Geo. Wallace was very loudly
called for, who came forward and made a
telling speech in favor of Grant and Wil
san ; after which lie offered the following
preamble and resolutions, which were unan
imously adopted:
Whereas, The Democratic party in
Georgia have accepted the name of Horace
Greeley as their candidate in the coming
contest for President of the United States;
And, Whereas, The Democracy of Geor
gia have repudiated the platform adopted
at Cincinnati, placing themselves in a false
light before the people of Georgia ;
And, Whereas, Governor James M.
Smith did appropriate all the funds accru
ing from the sale of the lands given to
Georgia for the establishment of an
Agricultural College, to the Institution at
Athens, which is purely an aristocratic in
stitution : thus ignoring the claims of the
mass of the people, which this fund was in
tended to benefit, be it
Resolved, That we renew our fealty to
the National Republican party, and pledge
our individaal support to Gen. U. S. Grant
and Hon. Henry Wilson for President and
Vice l’resdcnt of the United States of
America.
Keaolved, second, That we pledge our
selves to use all honorable means to defeat
>l. M. Smith, the present candidate of the
Democratic party for Governor of our old
commonwealth.

John Ross was chosen delegates to the
Union Republican Convention, to convene

ing adjourned with a most harmonious
feeling.
Albert Calhoun, Chairman.
O. T. Adams, Secretary.
Ex-Representative llenjamin G. Harris,
ol Maryland, openly and emphatically re
pudiates Greeley, and publishes a vigorous
letter advising his fellow-democrats to at
tftpd Blanton Duncan’s straight out conven
tion at Louisville. He says, “No conven
tion has despotic power, ” and further, that
“all the conventions that could be packed
between Baltimore and
could not induce him to vote for Greeley.
The villanies and crimes of this man Greeley
are too well known to be smothered up, and
you ask an utter impossibility when you ask
lis to forget and forgive them.”
FREDERICK DOUGLASS ON
GENERAL GRANT.
Our readers are aware that Frederick
Douglass is the representative colored
man of America. The following tri
bute to President Grant from him
must have great influence with all
colored men. It is a deserved rebuke
to Charles Sunmer:
My devotion to Gen. Grant rests upon
high and broad public grounds, and not
upon personal favor. I see in him the
vigilant, firm, impartial and wise protect
or of my race from all the malign, reac
tionary, social and political elements that
.would whelm them ia destruction, lie is
the rock-bound coast against the angry and
gnawing waves of a storm-tossed ocean,
saying, thus far only shalt thou coinc.
Wherever else there may be room for
doubt and uncertainty, there is nothing of
the kind with Uiysses S. Grant as our
candidate. In the midst of political changes
he is now as ever—unswerving and
indexible. Nominated regularly by the
time-honored Republican Tarty, he is
clothed with all the sublime triumphs of
humanity which make its record. The
party stands to-day free from alloy, pure
and simple. There is neither ambiguity
in its platform nor incongruity in its candi
dates. U. S. Grant and Henry Wilson—
the one from the West, and the other from
the East—the Soldier and the Senator—
arc men in whom we can confide. No
two names can better embody the precious
aqd priceless results of the suppression of
rebellion and the abolition of slavery We
can no more array ourselves against these
candidates and this party than wc can
resume our chains or insult our mothers.
Wc are allied to the Republican Tarty by
every honorable sentiment of the human
soul. While affection and gratitude binds
us to the party, the well-known character
of the Democratic Party and the long line
of antecedents of that party repel us, and
make it impossible for us to cast in our
lots with it. To vote for Messrs. Greeley
and Brown would justly invite to our heads
the contempt and scorn of honest men. We
should not only brand ourselves as political
knaves, but as political fools, meanly
marching to occupy a position to which we
are invited by the Democratic Tarty,
which party, during the last forty years,
has existed almost exclusively to make
sure our slavery and degradation as a race.
The keynote of the whole Greeley move
ment was sounded by Mr. James R. Doo
little upon taking the chair of the Conven
tion that nominated Mr. Greeley. He
announced as one of the objects of the
movement the “ overthrow of negro su
premacy.” Can any negro be so blind as
not to see the meaning of this? Where
has the negro been supreme in this coun
try ? Is the simple exercise of the elective
franchise (for surely this is all we have
exercised) to be overthrown ? We leave
the question with you.
In view of the foregoing facts, the fol
lowing most excellent letter should be ad
ded :
Executive Mansion, l
Washington, D. C., May 9, 1872. f
Gentlemen : I am in receipt of your in
vitation extended to me to attend a mass
meeting to be held for the purpose of aid
ing in securing civil rights for the colored
citizens of our country. I regret that a
previous engagement will detain me at the
Executive Mansion, and that I shall not
be able to participate with you in person
in your efforts to further the cause in
which you are laboring. I beg to assure
you, however, that I sympathize most
cordially in any effort to secure for all our
people of whatever race, nativity or color,
the exercise of those rights to which every
citizen should be entitled.
I am, very respectfully,
U. S. Gkant.
Such is the record of the great chieftain
whose sword cleft the hydra-head of trea
son, and by whose true heart and good
right arm you gained the ballot, that
glorious insignia of your citizenship. Such
is the record of the wise statesman for
whom you trusted your first ballot for
President; for no other than him can you
trust your second. Rally, then, to his sup
port with that resistless spirit in which you
fought for jour liberties, with that deep
sincerity in which you mourned the foul
death of your liberator —Lincoln—and
with the same exultant hope in which you
made Gen. Grant your first President, with
your first votes, in 1808.
Frederick Douglass.
Washington, July 17, 1872.
AN APPEAL TO COLORED MEN.
BY FREDERICK DOUGLASS.
Washington, Friday, Aug. 9, 1872.
Colored Fellow-Citizens :
In view of the insidious and dangerous
advice and counsel of Mr. Sumner, I think
it is my duty to set forth a few urgent rea
sons why we, as a race and as fellow-citizens,
all bound up in the same interest, cannot
and should not vote for Greeley and Brown,
but that to a man, we should cast our whole
weight into the scale for Grant and Wil
son.
First—We in the South have been liber
ated from slavery by the direct agency of
the Republican Party. Jlad Greeley been
President instead of Lincoln, we would to
day have been in a worse bondage under
tkc Slave Republic of the Southern Con
federate States than ever before. Greeley
advocated this policy and did iiis best to
establish the Republic of which slavery was
to be the chief corner-stone.
Second—Our first vote was cast as frccd
men for Grant in 1868. Have we been
disappointed in the result of his Adminis
tration V Previous to that period you had
no vote. Now we have equal rights (or
almost equal rights) with the white race.
We cun accumulate property as they do;
we have the law's protection over us as
they have; our marital relations respected;
our wives and children arc our own and
not the property of others; wc can testify
in every Court; we have the right if we
have the power to have our brethern
elected to the Senate and Congress of the
country; we are a power that is felt; we
hold the balance of power in America; no
corrupt or vascillating man cau be elected
to the Presidential chair unless wc consent
to vote for him.
Third—All this has occured since ! 65,
and chiefly since we cast our vote for
Grant in ’CB. Are we prepared to risk
the abandonment of these great privileges
and blessings, and vote for a man who
believes that any State may dissolve from
the Union when she secs fit, or pass such
laws as may seem to her best? Are we
prepared to vote for ths nominees of the
Democratic party, whose hearts never have
changed toward us, who kept us in slavery
as long as t hey had the power, and who if
thej’ had the power again would (to say
the least of it) do their very utmost to
restrict our liberties and oppress us as of;
old. Mr. Sumner may deceive himself;
he cannot deceive us; or, to use the lan
guage of the gentleman, Mr. James 11.
Doolittle, Chairman of the Convention
which nominated Mr. Greeley, one of the
objects of the nomination being the “over
throw of negro supremacy.” And for
sooth, what is this supremacy they so much
wish to overthrow ? It is simply the cancel
lation of those ordinary privileges and
blessings, enumerated in clause second.
We have no supremacy, and never expect
to have, nor intend to try for.
Fourth—ln conclusion : Be not deceiv
ed!! With Grant, our security is un
questionable ; our happiness will be made
lasting. With Greeley, we would er.ter
upon a sea of trouble—an unknown and
anxious future. Unscrupulous advisers
would be his friends. Our old foes would
surround him, as they even do now ; and
even if a few staunch friends should endea-'
vor to stem the coming troubles, they
would be swept away with the torrent, and
the great work of the Republican Tarty
prove an abortion. It caunot be that we
will send one vote out of our entire midst
to help bring about such dire results, and I
pray God that, when the time comes, every
man of our race will be found true to the
cause of human l ights to all.
Fred’k Douglass.
SUMNER ANSWERED.
We cail attention to the following time
ly article :
Alhany, N. Y., August 9, 1872.
Mr. Andrew D. White, who was a mem
ber of the St. Domingo Commission, on the
3d inst. addressed a letter to the Rev. J.
W. Lognen, Bishop of the African Metho
dist Episcopal Church, in which he replies
to the statements in the late letter of Sen
ator Sumner concerning the ill treatment
of Fred Douglass by that Commission He
says the President attached two secreta
ries to the Commission, selecting General
Sigel as one and Fred Douglass as the
other, ignoring a large number of white
men who wanted the position. Orders
were then given, which were known to
proceed from the President, that Douglass
should be treated as honorably and be
provided for as comfortably as the most
favored persons in the expedition. Doug
lass was given a room in the Admiral's
cabin, adjoining those of the Commission,
and was assigned a position at table in the
Admiral's dining room with the Commission,
and was treated in all respects as well as
the best during the stay of the Commission
at the St. Dominican capital. Douglass
lived at their house and sat at their table.
After landing at Charleston this treat
ment continued. When they were em
barked upon the Potomac steamer the
Commissioners, having seated themselves
at the public table, found that Douglass
was not with them. On inquiry they learn
ed that he had been refused admittance to
the dining room on account of his color.
Having remonstrated against this in vain,
the Commissioners and all immediately
connected with them left the table. On
arriving in Washington both Douglass
and Sigel left for their homes, their duties
having ended. It was then that the Com
mission were invited to dine with the
President, and had Douglass and Sigel
been in the city Mr. White has no doubt
they would have been included in the in
vitation. Mr. White expresses great sur
prise that Mr. Sumner should heve per
verted the facts in the case so grossly.
Money making is the object of the
world's pursuit. It is a legitimate object.
It gives bread and clothing, and homes
and comfort, and the world judges wisely
when it makes the position a man occupies
to hinge comparatively more or less on his
ability to earn money, and somewhat on
the amount of his possessions. If he is
poor, it argues cither some defect in his
expenditures or a lack of practical educa
tion to cope with men in the battle for
gold.
When a boy leaves home it is generally
to enter upon some business, the end of
which is to acquire property, and he will
succeed just in proportion as he has been
trained for the work. Every community
is filled with young and middle-aged men
who are failures because they know nothing
of business —their training having been
theoretical, not practical and useful.
Many are tied to pursuits they heartily
dislike, and which are much below their
capacity and ability, and would change
theit course of life and better their condi
tion but for the fact that relatives and
friends generally oppose rather than en
courage the eil'ort. There never has been
a time in the history of our country when
expert and intelligent young meu, who
have been taught practical life lessons
and thoroughly educated for business, were
in such demand as at present.
So great is the money capital of our
country; so sharp is the competition, so
great is the value of time, and so expert
have leading business men become, that
young men no longer have a chance to
excel, and hardly to succeed, unless they
are trained directly for this changed con
dition of the times. —Eastman College
Journal.
The year seems to be a most unusual hot
one everywhere. In India the heat has
been intolerable, the thermometer in sta
tions like Secunderabad, a hot place
always, marking occasionally 107 deg., and
108 deg., for fifteen continuous days.
In Paris old residents declare that they
are grilling, and can only live by bathing.
From Brussels we hear of 05 deg. in the
shade, and in London it has been 88 deg.,
while the water in the public baths, with
out any aid from furnaces, has been 76 deg.
Anew and thick lightning rod has been
attached to the Washington monument in
Baltimore, because some wiseacres in au
thority thought the old rod, was not large
enough to carry off the superabundance of
electrical fluid.

THE REASONS FOR INSURING IN TIIE AMERICAN.
In the iirst place, it is not anew company, having its position to make, and its
success to attain, under the pressure of the sharp competition of this present enterpri
sing age.
It is not doing business as an experiment; it is not dependent upon any future
success to meet its already existing liablilities.
It has long since passed the period that might be considered an experiment in tho
establishment of a company, and for years has stood upon the solid basis of assured
success.
There can be no failure. All policies issued by this Company must and shall be
paid at maturity.
The American Life Insurance Company, of Philadelphia, was originally con
structed upon the soundest principles of the Life Insurance system, and has never de
viated from its strict requirements. It has always been under the management of
men of probity, business experience, and crpacity. It has maintained a steady and
healthful growth, year after year, and is now regarded as one of the most substantial
and popular institutihns of the kind in the country.
