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. On motion Mr. O. T. Adams and Mr. John Ross was chosen delegates to the Union Republican Convention, to convene in Atlanta, Ga., August 21st, 1872. . On motion lion. Geo. Wallace and lion. Peter O’Neal were chosen alternates. On motion it was Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Savannah Journal, American Union, and Atlanta Whig. On motion three cheers were given for Grant and Wilson; after which the meet 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. KING S.
