Communicated.}
Mr. Editor: The time is fast approach
ing for the nomination of County officers
to be elected in December. This nomina
tion should he harmonious, apd the nominee
for each office, whoever he may be, should
be unanimously supported by the party.
Prejudices and preferences, however great
and long cherished, should be waived.
The hour is dark, the way is precarious,
and without the greatest caution the conse
quences may be overwhelming. Who is
there so negligent and careless of his own
interest, of the interests of his fellow man,
a* and his obligations to posterity, as not to
have pictured in his mind the. administra
tion of the affairs of hw county by Sam,
Jake, and others of Etbeopian persuasion.
Fmm the melancholy tone of the breezes
we get the idea, that there is a move on loot
to overthrow the present nomination for
Representative and re-nominate. The late
Convention was called for the purpose of
nominating, the meeting was regularly
organized, and the nomination was legally,
honorably, and justly mad’e. Parties had
the right to run themselves, or to run their
friend? in the nomination. It was a free,
open fight. It came off in the broad-open
day time, when all live and active men had
their eye? open. It occurred in the Court
House of Upson county. It was talked of
beforehand, and all who are in the habit of
reading, had the chance of reading the call
for the Convention published in the Herald.
Certainly then, gentlemen will not corn
plain that they did not know the nomina
tion was to be made—that they were taken
by surprise and had not time to prepare
and be present at the race.
It has been whispered, and perhaps these
dissenters will bring it up as an argument,
that Col. Hall has not been long enough a
resident of the county ; and secondly, that
he is a lawyer. The first objection seems
to be offered because p rties desire an ob
jection, ami by the most diligent research,
their disappointed ambition can produce,
they bring up the pitiful mouth that he has
not been long enough in the county. Piti
ful objection. The voters at the nomination
did not seem to think this when they gave
him a majority vote of all the candidates
in the race. Bo men, gentlemen ! Don't
hunt up such petty, childish objections at
a time when you should waive objections
that under other circumstances might be
valid. As to the second; I think it a
recommendation, rather than an objection.
The lawyer is dependent on the farmer.
The farmer’s succesu is essential to the suc
cess of the lawyer. In framing laws io
protect and secure the interest and rights of
the farmer, he advances his own interest—
hence the interests of the two are identical,
to a certain extent.
But fellow-citizens, the time has come
when we need true, honorable, efficient and
active men to represent us. We need men
that are able to stand up ana vindicate our
rights. We need men to oppose and resist
successfully the hordes of political adven
turers and carpet-baggers, who have impose
ed upon us since the tide of war has gone
out. The Hon. Jon* I. Hall is ODe of
those men. If he should be chosen by the
people of Upson, they will find him a true,
able, and faithful representative.
If then at the Convention for the nomina
tion of County officers, there is an attempt
to annul the present nomination for Repre
sentative, it is the duty of every man who
has the welfare of his country and the
success of the Democratic party at heart, to
vote it down, SPURN it with contempt.
If the nomination should be set aside,
defeat is inevitable. Col. Hall is justly,
honorably, and legally entitled to the vote
of the Democratic party of Up6on county.
What, gentlemen, is the purpose of a nom
ination if it is not to consolidate and unite
the vote of the party upon one man? Do
the voters of Upson propose to make this
child’s play ? Gentlemen, let us not betray
such fickleness. It would give renewed
energy and exertion to our opponents.

The New Fusion Reform Partt. —The
New York Journal of Commerce, commen

essary. therefore, to organize anew party
capable of electing a President in 1572,
is for a comparatively small force of the
Republican army to step out manfully from
the ranks, and meet and join the Democrat

aside the treaty of Paris by force, let us

New York, Nov. 25—The World’s

troubles culminated to-day. This morning,
Earl Granville went to Windsor to inform
the Qneen of tbe impossibilty of carrying on
the government with the Cabinet so irre

upset the Ministry, and a dissolution of the
Cabinet caa scarcely be preventen.

Prussian lines to surrender, and are invari
ably turned back.
A Tribune special from St. Petersburg
pays that Russia is unprepared for war and
cannot be ready before spring.
The Gazette says Russia cannot with
draw her declaration nor leave it without
practical consequences. Such a proposition
from the English press only compels her to
pursue more actively a realization of the

Mr. Bard, in the True Georgian of the
30th ult., make following admission ; “A
close observation upon the condition of the
country, during my recent visit to the
‘Federal Capita!,? and the Northern States,
has forced npon my mind the eonviotion
that the mission of the Republican party
has ended.”
The Chicago Times, hearing that Bu*ler
may get into the Cabinet explains ; “But
ler is a man of brains. So was Lord N rth.
So was Jeffrey. So were Caligula ai dN< •
ro and a good many other criminals that
were not. together with some that w*-re
hanged Butler is an ambiti* us scour drel,
with brains enough in hit* head to make hint
a dargerrus man in a position where he
would have the right ear of a weak and ig
norant President. In the office of Secreta
ry of Slate he would he the lago of public
disaster, putting money in his purse to
work our th*> crooked designs of an unmiti
gated political villian.”
A Republican Onnhin < r Grant —The
fullowiog ib IfiMii the Chicitf** Republican,
a paper wtoicV , helped elect Airaut, aud
which has supported his admiiiisuatiutt, pc
long as it could without compromising its
self-respect ani sense of pfnprfety, to the
last degree. The Republican is oue of the
most influential and widely read republican
journals of the great Northwest, and i’B
opinion of Grant's feeble admin stratire
qualities and “personal meanness,” and th®
general poor estimation in which he is held,
as expressed in the concluding paragraph
of the extract copied below, will not be
without considerable influence. It say a:
“It has been no uncommon thing for
parry organs in this country to accuse
Presidents of their own party, of party of
fences, nntruth to the party principles, or
unfaithfulness to their actual or implied
pledges in respect to individuals or policy.
It is the common fate of succeeding Vice-
Presidents to suffer under accu-ations of
party perfldy in general, accompanied, for
the sake of emphasis, with suggestions of
official malfeasance. But the official career
of Gen. Grant, presents a case that is pecu
liar. lie stands charged not »' much with
unfaithfulness t » his pirty official mis
conduct and personal meanness ; and these
charges are so well established, so univer
sally believed and so freely enlarged upon,
that the organs, of his own party eveu,
which speak in his favor or attempt brs vin
dication, are the exception. No American
President, taking for it the testimony of the
Republican press, was ever more thorough
ly despised, or deserved it better than the
one who now dishonors the highest place in
the gift of the people, by hio tenat ey.”
Thi Washington correspondent of a New
York paper has the following in relation to
the Presidential succession. We think
‘ Eastern politicians” are in error in think
ing that Senator Hendricks is not known
well enough here ; no man in the party is
more generally or more favorably known
here or more frequently spoken of as our
next President in our hearing, than he.
Hendricks and Hoffman, or vice versa, or
Hancock, would sweep the country in 1872
like a whirlwind. It really seems that the
ll’s will be in the ascendant for the next
four years. The correspondent says :
‘‘The politicians are taking up the next
Presidential election. The Democra ic
electoral vote now foots up 154, and the
Republican 148, including Pennsylvania,
which the Democrats claim will cast her 26
votes for their candidate in 1872. They
seem to agree better on Senator Hendricks
than any other Western man, as a candi
date, but Eastern politicians say that he is
not known well enough east of the Allegha
nies. Chief Justice Chase would be a can"
didate on whom all the Conservative and
Democratic elements would unite, but his
health renders it impossible lor him to be
mentioned as a candidate. Gratz Brown,
the Governor eloct of Missouri, and Gen.
Cox are also talked of somewhat. In truth,
not a few think that the whole issue of the
next campaign for the Presidency will be
made on the basis of civil service and rev
enue reform.”
Morb Words to the Negroes. —You will
not find one rnteiligent colored man out • fa
thousand who will not candidly aamit to
your questioning, that he is unwise in sep
arating from the white people, with whom
he was reared and caved for, and yet he
will go straightway to do his best at the
ballot- box to ruin the Southern man and
to elevate the vile renegades and Yankee
adventurers who use him as a tool. They
will not deny that when they want help
and succor, they cannot get it from Radi
cals, and go to their old white friends.
They will not deny that the great majority
of the Radicals in the South, imported and
native, are dishonest and hypocritical
scamps ; that they do not give him bread
or employment, and that he can trust
neither to their generosity nor their justice.
Die negro will agree to all this as glibly as
you please, and yet he invariably votes to
put these rascals in high i.ffices at the ex
pense of our best citizens. Now, this is a
blind and foolish game, bluek men, that
they may succeed for a while, bo>t one end
will miserably fail at last. And that end is
fast approaching. You have been for years
doing your very best to make enemies of
the white people of the South—you have
formed yourselves solid into one party —
the black man’s party—do you wonder at
the inevitable result—a white man’s party ?
When y< a hear of a white man’s parry,
you cry out at tbe injustice of it. Yet it is
you that forced that party into existence,
to defend themselves against the hostilities
in which you have permitted carpet-b»ig»
grrs to array you against them. Do you
not know what made the Register aw advo
cate of a white man’s party T It was the
result of watching your course narrowly for
two or three years after the war, arid find*
ing that you were the determined enemies
of the whites,, counseling with and doing
the work of their direst foe, listening to no
reasoning, no persuasions, and no entreaties
to act and vote as if you belonged to thp
South, and not as if you were ail imported
from Yankee land. The Register saw you
were bont on a black union against the
South, and we had nothing left to do but
to rally the whole South to defend them
selves against your folly and madness.—
