Public Speaking. Editor Southern Banner- Dear Sir:—Please announce that I will address the people at Danielsville, on Tuesday, 3rd September. Truly Yours, <fcc., J. A. Billups. Emory Speer. TO TIIE DEMOCRACY OF CLARKE COUN TY IN 1872. In the spring of 1872, Dr. M. S. Durham, was the regular nominee of the Democratic party of Clarke coun< ty, to represent th^feApin the lower branch of the 'tifcuTral Assembly. Mr. Robot Lampkin, with perhaps quite as good, if not more plausible reasons than induces the candidacy of most independents, opposed Dr. Durham as the Democratic nominee. Mr. Emory Speer, then the honored President of the Democratic Club of Alliens, issued the following address to the Democratic voters of the coun ty, 300 copies of which were printed for distribution. •* Thu Democratic Club of Athens,” in view of the fact that they are an organized body of Democrats, deem it right and proper that they express their earnest wish that no man who claims to be a Democrat will east his vote in the coining election fur any man save the nominee of the party. Such ill-advised voting lias defeated the Democracy of the county hereto fore, and that man, who, contrary to the wishes ol the people, will insision opposing the nominee is]a disorganizer and no lriead to the success cf Dem ocrat ic principles- There are but two parties, the Democrats ,nd Radicals —and one who opposes the Demo crats, furthers the cause of Radicalism. It does not matter whether this be inteiilioi ul or not, the disastrous re sult is none the less certain. \Vc then would most respectfully beg that the Democracy will on.ihe day of election ccine to ,lhc p dls eu matte, and by a solid vote for Durham, the nominee elect a Representative of the peoples choice and rebuke the presumption of those who, while they call themselves Democrats wl against our everv in terest.'’ Mr. Emory Sped as all know, is uow a candidate liefore the people of the bill Congressional Distric, to represent them in the 4Uili Congress, independent, of all party organization, all party rule* atnlall ^J»rty principles, and yet he claims to he p good 'Demo crat, and expresses indignation at being termed a disorganizer, or so acting as to further the cause of Radi calism. Radicalism is not dead, nor sleepeth, and the impertance of maia- tainiog organization iu the Democrat ic party is just as great iu 1878 as it was in 1872. Emory Spexr in 1872, loudly, most patriotically, and most respect fully begged, "that the Democracy would on the day of eleetion, come to the polls en masse, and by • solid vote for the nominee, elect a Repre sentative of the people's choke, and rebuke the presumption of thoee who, while they call themselves Democrats, do, (by offering themselves as Inde pendent candidates against the nomi nee, of the party) act.against our every interest” Now Democratic voters of the 9th Congressional District, after Emory has so earnestly entreated the people as true Democrats to turn outen masse and by the election of the regular nominee of the party, sustain true, Jeffersonian Democracy, for the de feat and overthrow of Radicalism, the greatest political curse and oppression a free and liberty-loving people ever felt or endured, we ask, are you going to sustain those wicked, so-called friends of Mr. Speer s who, merely to gratify their personal, vaulting ambi tion so wickedly, so ruinously, want to make him feel the chagrin and morti fication of political defeat on the 5th of November next. Shame upon you wicked, cruel, selfish, ambitious, political ruioists, while Uie people cry aloud for Billups. If noth, ing else will, 4.00U majority for the nominee on the 5lh of November next will make you hunt your holes. Mr. Speer can no S. In reply to the CorMnitfeT appoin ted by the Thomson ‘Convention to inform him of his noalination Be snored, gentlemen, tM« signal renewal of the expression of continued confidence on the pert or my constituents,UrscyA to alls and rtp- ' Is, ondeijho^ circumitances, ef the heavy i ■m in so doing. Emory Surer in 1872 said, “ The Democratic Club of Athens ” iu view of the taut that they are an organised body ol Democrats, deem it right and proper that they express their earnest wish that no man who claims to he a Democrat will cast his vote iu the coming election for any man save the nominee of the party." Now just to thiuk that soma who claim to be Emory’s friends, do him the gross in justice to say that he has gone liack ou his principles of 1872, aud uow de sires that all meu, he they Democrats or of whatever political ]H>rsuosion, will cast their votes against the nomi nee of the Gainesville Convention. Shame upon such frieddsliip. Emory Speer in 1872 said : “Such ill-advised voting, (as voting against the uomineo of the party) has defeated the Democracy of the country hereto fore, and that man who, contrary to the wishes of the people, will insist on opposing the uoiuinee, is a disorgani zer, and no friend to the success o Democratic principles. There are but two parties, the Democratic and Rad ical, and, one who opposes the Democrats furthers the cause of Rad icalism.^ In view of such pure, true and south] (Democratic utterances on the part of Emory then, how unkind, how exceedingly unjust on the part of these who would now accuse him o being a disorganizer, aiding and abet ting Radicalism, and untrue to Demo cratic principles. Shame upon such traducers. A Mistake, I Hope. Mr. Emory Speer, iu an interview with a Reporter of the Augusta Chronicle ou the 22d iust., is reported as follows: Reporter—Uow do Mr. Kell’* frieinl* vtaad in t)>m campaigu t Mr. Speer—Nearly nil ol* Mr. Bel?* friends are for me. 1 was introduced to sn audience at Camming, Forsyth comity, by Mr. Bell'* s.u. lli* Iriends nre very indignant at the way in whiah be w*s treated in the Convention and nre iudepently inclined any way. Rejiorter—llow will Dr. Carlton’* friend* vote. Mr. S|»ccr—A great many of Dr. Carltou’a friend* are lor me. He had a nt'oug following umoug the working m#n of Chuke county and they are a 1 for me. As for Mr. Bell’s friends I cannot sjH-uk, hut do not believe they incline politically a- Mr. Speer thinks and as serts. As for my friends, 1 think I can, and have a right to speak. While, doubtless, some were induced to my support from strong personal friend ship, yet this friendship was of that true, genuine kind which could aud will l>e readily subordinated to the best interest of the jiarty anil the country. Then, I may safely say the advocacy of my friends was based largely, if not mainly, upon the be lief. yea, even the fact, that I was a true, organized Democrat That I had spent the past five or six years of ! my life in advocacy of true Demo cratic principles and the maintenance of thorough party organization, aud would cheerfully, patriotically and as a true democrat, abide the uction of those representatives of the Demo cratic party in whose ttapds I had en trusted my irjerest, an* not like Mr. lervep i this ncble work, witnessing on all hands the good results thereof, desert the Democratic household merely be cause my political aspirations may have been disappointed. In this they mistook not their man. And I be lieve, yes, in justice to such true, pa triotic and Democratic friends, I will say, I know, they, to a man, stand with me to-day in the support of the nominee of the Gainesville Conven tion, and will, ou the 5th of Novem ber next, vote solidly with me for Col. Joel Abbott Billups. As to the friends af Col. Bell I have already said I did not believe they were inclined to be untrue to their party faith. If in this I should be mistaken and Mr. Speer right, then I would most earnestly entreat them, in behalf of true Democracy and the country’s best interest, that notwith standing their disappointment in not obtaining the nomination of their chosen candidate, that they unite sol idly with my iriends in achieving a glorious and overwhelming victory for the grand old Democratic* party, by the election of Col Billups, the regu lar nomiuee, on the 5th of November next. H. H. Carlton. Toombs on Speer. Gen Toombs, to a : recent interview with a Constitution Reporter, said in substance, “Speer’s activity would not win, while Billups* leisurely roetbod would prove successful.” Sf • f The old General’s ideas of states manship are not yc-t on the wane. Ac tivity as politically considered by Mr. Toombs, means merely, gushing, am bitious, ephemerous—a sort of hur rah boys style of trying to get in; while leisure method so considered, simply means a steady, discreet, wise, statesmanlike view of the country’s best interest which gives sure founda tion oi success. Toombs is right. Billups will triumph with the steady wave, while Speer will go under be neath a brilliant, dishing foam—a kinder rainbow reflecting bubble. “Consistency, Tliou Art a Jewell.” Previous to the Congressional nom inating Convention in the 7th District the Southern Watchman, alias Enx- ory Speer, opposed nominating Con ventions, because, he says, the nomi nee is usually chosen by a few active politicians in the different counties, .p Tb . BalToTtha gates instructed to vote for their man. He now opposes Mr. Billups, the nom inee of that Convention, because he was not thus chosen. He makes that the precise ground of objection. For proof of this see any recent issue of that paper. On the 13th inst. it con tained the fuilowipg: JTh* high honor —— (uj If the Ind right to every man, f^jio-sw 'de^res, to ran for Congress, and t'otbe people to vote for whosoever’ they please, then why object to Col.

Hear Mr. power, lint with the motto, ''Hirst pure, then peaceable,* after fighting as. with Beasts at Ephesus — having fought the good fight, around about unto Illyrieum, at last he joyfully shouts over the glory of those who kept the faith—even of whom the world was not worthy—because “they turned to flight the armies of the aliens!” * » We have about vanquished the Re construction aliens who laid the South in heaps; destroyed our homes, de voured our inheritance, and defiled our temples of liberty. But “ Inde pendent” — nay, Negro- Dependent office-seekers are calling them back to their heathen rage; and as returns the dogs and the sows to liter vomit and wallowing in the mire. The country’s greatest danger now is from the disbandment of the Radi- ical party in the South. It is pro\ ed almost impossible to stop the bes mi floods tliat rasli and crash from broken dams. Hence, I appeal for the puri ty of public opinion aud ihc very life of the R.-ptiblic, against such foulness and death as conglomerating Democ racy with Mongrelism. f Tin not amiss to call’it by any of Saxe’s “<Ji-v- j il of names.”) Nothing but harm, and that continually, can come from Will Emory Speer telp’the people in his speeches, and wh&flyer he may go, that if elected to Aoqgpge he will vote uncompromising^ with the Dem erits in Congress, on ay political ques tions? == ^j = i = * Emory says he belonged ito Wbee ler’s “Critter Company,” IftM killed jnst as many of the Yaukees os they killed of him.

From the Atlanta Republican of the 21st., inst., we extract the following: Marshal Fitzsimmons is iu line with Alex Stephens, andjit will be no fault of his if every district in Georgia this year has not an able liberal independ ent representative of the better ele ment of the democratic pnrty of the State iu the field and we receive as- surrances that the whole influence of the office will be exerted wtb secure the fairest elections. v ^ That Marshal Fitzsimmons is in line with Mr. Stephens as a true Dem ocrat, there is no doubt. Col. Fitz simmons besides having a high admi ration for Mr. Stephens, both us a statesman and a true democrat, owes his appointment in a large degree to him, and should have strong personal feelings tor him.

[Cemmuuivoteil.] Infernal Political Hybridizing Editor Banner:—Put it before the people, that the present editor of the |taper before edited politically by Emory Speer, in his therein printed report of the Gainesville speech of his said “ champion,” draws and reflects consistently the following conclusion: “ Theretore, it is best that the two parties should unite upon soma man. lie should go—if he goes at all [1] — by the majority of tue whole District. Thus will he be better prepared to the monstrous hybridizing—the sod' omy!

AUGUSTA MUSIC HOUSE mete out justice to the blackest Re publican, aswpll as ttg, ollr adraonitiouu “AVbat mmnnuniou ocrat’’ bath light with darku iss ? and what Comfort. Mr. Speer denies that t'.e Indepen- dant move gives comfort to our radical enemies. Hear what the Atlanta Re publican, a radical sheet, of August 21st has to say : "Rut in the present weakened and dispirited jcondition of our own “forcesabout all we can do in Georgia, is to encourage the itidependent movement that is surely disintegrating the solid white vote of the State, and that promises speedily to give us the balance of power. Our support will be sought, and we shaU be able to exact honest terms from those seeking it, and in part recover what we have lost in ten years." Emory Speer, in 1872, said: “It does not matter whether this, (the op position to Democracy by voting against the nominee of the party) be intentional or not, the disastrous re sult is none the less certain, viz: (fur thering the cause of Radicalism.’’ Fellow citizens, Democrats of the 9th Congressional District, we ask you, when Emory, in 1872, so truthfully, so patriotically antagonized that op position to true Democracy which fur thers Radicalism, and which comes wither of intentional “independent- ism,” or not, if it is just, fair, patri otic or in any way to the best interest of ihe country, to agree with those in discreet, unwise and unkind friend* of Mr. Speer who now seek to plaoe him to *o fijlse and unpatriotic a position before the people? Shame upon such •vil spirited men. Something for Mr. Speer to put iu His Pipe and Smoke. •‘Tennes-ez Politico.'—A eommauicatiou from Wazhington, under date of Auguzt ISth, .ay. that a number of promineut Tennesseean, have been in that city for several days, and it develop, that their mission here : t to cousnlt Judge Key in regard to au independent party movement in their state. They ray it it prob able that ae Independent Convention will be held to nomiuate oppumlleh candidates for a State ticket. The gcadomee who an hare aay that if the Postmaster General will acoepo en lndepaudeut nomination for Governor the Re publican Convention will endorse him, rad hia election will be oerteih. Judge Key is now holding tiie matter nuderodrieement, end the chances ere very favorable that he witi give the m vement hia approval. He will not seek tiie nomination, bnt if awarded him with any great degree of unanimity, rad it the Scpablleaus ore diepoaed to accept him. there it no doubt lie will uouaent to ruu. The President, tit ie said, enconnnrea him to do to, although he will regret to have him leave the Cabinet, but the President thints with Judge Key ae a leading candidate ou an Independent Democratic tick et, his Southern policy could be subjected to a very favorable teat." Now Entory, you hail better go hlntv and kinder bold up on Conven tions and nomination*, or before the flfl 1, of November you will have to change your {Htlitivs again either this or he left out in the cold b}’ your own jiarty, In-Miles beiug beaten by the regular nominee of the Democratic party. Democrats, even those of you wh« are disposed to waiver under the glit- it riug and captivating arguments of Mr. Speer against the organised, don’t be dec* ived by any such gullery. The fact is Mr. Speer, can only succeed by organizing, and he i* the most active organiser in the district, but on the wrong line. A Washington Correspondent to the Balimore Sun says: “The Repub lican ‘Congressional’ Campaign Com mittee at Washington, is continually in receipt of letters jtosting the commits tee as to jtolitics in the Southern States. From information received to the plentiful crops of Indejten- dents, growing out of ambitions and diBiipjiointed office seekers, strong hope is entertained by the Republican man agers of making a break in the solid South. Therefore both brains and money will be actively- employed from this centre to induce the running of indejtendent candidates in all districts in the Southern States, where there is any reasonable grounto.exjiect suc cess. The Republicans here appreciate 4be fact that in a majority of instances, at least, the gentlemen who may ran as Independents will, in the event of tbeir election, act with the Democrats, bnt the calculation is th.-ri here aud there a Republican in disguise may slip in.” President Hayes wanted Judge Longworth of Cincinnati, to accept the Republican nomination lor Cuugress, from the first district of Ohio, in order to keep Milt Saylsr, the Democratic nominee out of Con gress. But alus! there were no returning boards in that district, and tbe President and the J udge had to give up the job. But he who was “much more than a prophet, Jesus of Nazareth, de clares : “Ye cannot serve God and Mammon.* 1 Verily, no ntaa can serve the Right in politics whose mo tive if not jterson is iu negro rallies, that bear ever when they dare, with leaders “independent” enough, as in Charleston during the Presidential canvass, transparencies representing our mothers, wives, sisters; daughters, and even our little girls suppliant and debased at tbe feet of negro bullies— ay, white women with negro babies in their arms. Fiends! “Are there no stones in the heavens but what serve for the thunder “No jtower on high to shield the brave?” Yea, Heaven forfends ! Lo, Sennacherib’s ghastly one hundred and four score and five thousand. Jehovah Jireh-f '*'>’* ' In the mightiest and most success ful reformation of the world was set the test: “He that is not for tne is against roe; and h - th.it gathereth not with me scattered! abroad.” It must ever be the test of Christianity, and of common sense. Can men be with us who give aid and comfort to that enemy which, had it strength now, would continue its thirteen years of reconstruction cruelty, and crush us in the dust forever; and shall we by uniting with it lift it out of the mire, feed it to ferocity, and arm it again with death ? Even are they wise and patriotic supftorters of constitutional representative Government who would in any cause seek to rally negroes at the polls ? Never on earth was there a mass of voteis so utterly igitoi indifferent; and all repu tions have fallen and become extiuct by their control drifting into indiffer ent ignorance, or being thereby bar gained for or seized by scheming am bition. “Woe to the men Ity whom such of fence cometh!” Look at the cause of the fall of tbe most noted nation of antiquity. The crushing burden of David’s piercing When there are but two political pei ties iu the country, Democrats and Radicals, and a congressional aspirant declares bimtelf a candidate indepead entof the Democratic party, then to which party doss he belong ? or which party has the right to claim hiin? That’s the question. Who is the nominee of tbe Indepen dent party of the 9th Congreraional District? ’ light cum-urd hath Christ with lieli.d V ‘ T17iere/bre, come out from among them and be ye separatesaith the Lord, 4 and touch not the unclean thing ;• and I will receive, and I will be a Father unto yon, and ye shall be my soils and daughters,’ saith the Lord Almighty 1 ” But tlio “ vengeance of the Lord ” and the curse of nature is against all miscegenatiou iu principles as in fact. How faint is my emphasis against j>o- litieal hybridizing when the heavens and earth together acclaim the truth against such infenial monstrosity! Even half-way things are despi cable. In Revelations the Spirit thus speaks to the churches: “ I know thy ‘ works * that tliou art neither cold nor hot, so then because thou art luke warm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth ! ’’ So let the Democratic party—the same old fire-wall of Liberty from the Revolu tion till now—keep aloof from any compromising half-and-half policy. An ounce of this prevention is bet ter fhan tons of dynamite that may, after great oost and labor, at last suc cessfully blow out a Hell-gate in the high navigation of Representative Government. The never give up jirinciple is in vincible; and Ttie shout of Gideon’s Baud, “ Iftrt’t my heart and tun's my hand/” Cu make the wall Of Jvrielio toll! Maik the record, philosophically and practically true: “When the Mid- ianites and the Amalakites and all-the I t an«l children of the East lay along in the itQ-* valley like grasshoppers for multi tude, and their camels were without number as the sands. o( the sea, innu merable,” Gideon, in defence of the Ark of tbe Fathers’ Covenant, had ait army of thirty-two thousnud.
