THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
THURSDAY, MARCH 25, 1875.
GRANT AND GEORGIA.
Col. R. A. Alston, of tbe Atlanta
Herald, has written out his impressions
of men and mattei's, political and other
wise, which were gathered by a recent
sojourn at the Federal Capital. We
would like to copy Col. Alston’s letter
in full, but have only space to note a
email portion of it which refers more
directly to this State. Alluding to the
hostility of Wilson, Blaine and other
Republicans to Grant, we are told, by
Col. Alston, that these men are earnest
in opposition to the President and
charge him with being the cause of all
the disaffection in the Radical ranks.
In fact, one of these gentlemen told
Col. Alston that Grant s vagabond
appointments had driven almost evei j
decent white man out of the Republi
can party in the South, and his le
tentiou of his brother-in-law, Casey,
at New Orleans was simply
inexclusable, and had produced
nearly all the trouble in Louisiana.
The same party said that “ if he had
had Ids way, there would have been
to-day twenty thousand white Repub
licans in Georgia, instead of a handful
of office-holders. That he would have
selected to fill the offices of the Gov
ernment from the best material in the
South, and instead of forcing us to re
gard the United States flag as a badge
of oppresion and misrule, he would
have encouraged us to love it and re
spect it as the emblem of justice and
peace. This kind of a spirit is all that
the South has asked, and he who had
shown it to us would have had our
approval and support, whether he was
called Democrat or Republican ; for the
term Democrat, in the South, has only
meant opposition to corruption and j
tyranny. There are a great number of
old Whigs yet, who don’t like to be
called Democrats, but there have been
but two parties in the South since the
war, one desiring good government
and peace, calling itself Democratic,
and the other, bent on misrule and
thieving, calling itself Republican.”
It appears from this statement that
Grant has done wonders in helping
break down that wing of the Republi
can party which agitated the destruc
tion of slavery, which educated a gen
eration to hate the South, which
brought on the war, swept out our in
stitutions and destroyed our wealth
and children, which after the war
crushed us with laws in violation of
the justice of God and man and ap
pointed Ulysses S. Grant to execute
them, although he had urged in a writ
ten report a re-establishment of the
Union, without any amendments to the*
Constitution, a report characterized by
Wilson, Sumner, Greeley, Blaine &
Cos., a. “ whitewashing of the rebels.”
If Grant is the cause of disaffection
in the Radical ranks he has become so
through the agency of Wilson & Cos.;
and if he has “organized hell” in Louis
iana and other places, he has done so
by carrying out the laws which these
very men insisted upon making, con
trary to his own recommendation. Be
sides, when the vote came up in the
Senate on the Louisiana resolutions,
the other day, did not every man
among the Republican Senators, save
only Booth, of California, an independ
ent, vote to endorse the action of the
very Executive they pretend to con
demn?
Again, from Col. Alston’s state
ment, Georgia has been rescued from
the Republican party, in spite of the
efforts of Gov. Brown and other men
of mark, by Grant’s singular beha
viour. Is the President to be cursed
for this? If an overwhelming Demo
cratic majority is the one thing desira
ble in a Southern State, it seems that,
whether intending it or not, that boon
has been conferred by Grant, and if
Alston’s Republican friend had had his
way the State would now Re very like
ly in the hands of 20,000 white Repub
licans aided by we know not how many
gentlemen of African descent.
We trust Gen. Grant will continue to
disaffect the Republican ranks, so that
the Constitutionalists may not have to
light, in 1876, the consolidated forces
of Centralism. We do not wish to fall
again into the hands of the President’s
faction, and even less do we de nre to
be throttled by philosopher Wilson
and his band of original fanatics, who
have been the prime causes of ruin
and now seek to consecrate their pris
tine infamy.
HARD TIMES AND RELIGION.
Noting the extraordinary revival of
religion in various portions of the
world, the New York Herald says tight
times bring men to their knees. It
adds that “every financial panic is
followed by a revival which sweeps over
the country like a prairie fire. It may
possibly be true that when men have
nothing else to do they think of re
ligion, and that when the stock market
is firm and money is easy and plenty
they lose sight of their spiritual inter
ests. Perhaps it is a little hypercriti
cal to assert that men are generally
more willing to pray to the Lord when
they cannot prey on each other, but it
is, to say the least, somewhat suspic
ious and not wholly a coincidence, that
bad times fill up the broken religious
ranks.”
We think the solution of the diffi
culty an easy one, although it brings
into bold relief the meanness as well as
the noble quality of man’s nature.
From the earliest tradition, the vast
majority of people have been apt to
forget God in prosperity—to drift away
from heaven, in fact, until suddenly re
minded, by a check, beyond the power
of a money remedy, that their course
was steered by dead-reckoning and not
by the sun, the stars or the beacon
lights of faith. It is true that men
have lived in all ages who were not
spoiled by splendor or who loved God
unselfishly and not from a dread of his
eternal punishment; but the unhappy
herd of human beings, the innumera
ble host of the fallen children of Eve, re
quire betimes the sharp goad of misfor
tirue to remind them that the posses
sion of all the earth and all the glory
of it would not compensate them for
the loss of immortal happiness. Not
long ago, one of the richest men in the
Union bent over the bed where his ;
favorite son lay dying and declared j
that he would surrender every particle j
of his wealth to save his child. He had j
led a life of activity but also one of
sensual enjoyment. It is probable that
the loss of his son reminded him that
his riches were mere dross and that
they could not win a single daj from *
destiny and might, unless generously
used, bar him forever from the future
companionship of his boy. However
mortifying to humanity this necessity of
being frightened into the leading of gcod
lives, it is doubtless better than defi
ant impenitence or a stolid, Pagan in
difference to the warnings of a super
natural power. It is true that many
so-called Evangelists misuse their
power and their opportunities, in times
of affliction and distress; but we be
lieve it to be not less true that the agi
tation of religious precepts, in all the
churches, is productive of good, and
that many persons who ignore God in
the day of prosperity have been most
wholesomely and savingly reminded of
Him in the day of disaster.
It is in the midst of suffering, too,
that the most heroic virtue manifests
itself. Very recently a portion of Geor
gia has been severely scourged by hur
ricanes. How many generous deeds
will not this dispensation of Providence
bring forth which would otherwise
have lain dormant? The golden oppor
tunity is accorded thousands who have
been blessed with the world’s pelf to
prove themselves truly the stewards of
the Lord, the good Samaritans who
shall bind up the wounds of their
brethren in affliction. Why the bolt
strikes one and spares another, we can
not tell; but this indeed we know that
he who is among the many who have
escaped ruin should gladly and cheer
fully aid and comfort the few who have
had to bear the brunt of the blow. That
our citizens will continue to recognize
this truth we firmly believe, and that
the charity thus exhibited will redound
to their individual good, as well as the
general good of the world, no one can
question.
