GOVER NOR COLQ SOUTHEEN BANNER: DECEMBER 17, 1878. UITT Expression of Confidence in His Excellency. The following letter to Gov. Col quitt, expressing the confidence of the people in his Excellency, was numerously signed yesterday by prominent citizeus of Augusta. It will be open for signatnres to-day: Augusta, Ga., December 6, 1878. Hon. Alfred H. Colquitt, Governor qf Georgia, Atlanta, Ga: Dear Sib—The undersigned citi zens of Georgia, have noticed with indignation the aspersions that have bccu cast upon your personal and official character in the matter of signing tlie bonds of the Northeast ern Railroad. It is a familiar obser vation, sir, that no character, how ever eminent, and no services, how ever great, can protect the occupant of high position from the assaults of envy and malice. Detraction, like death, loves a shining mark, and in feeling the envenomed shafts of calumny and slander, you arc but Buffering from the same wounds which many another good and true man baa been called on, in all ages, to endure. The charges insinuated against yon arc, upon their face, so palpably un just that we do not fed called upon to waste one word npon abominable in sinuations for wjbicib oblivion even now yawns. The name borue by you is no new one in the annals of the State. In the person of an honored father it was known alike in the General Assembly of Georgia and in the Senate of the United States, and in grateful recollection of that long life of integrity and excellence is oven Snow on the roll call of the counties of the State. In your hands, sir, it has lost uonc of its ancestral virtues of patriotism and moral worth. At the last gubernatorial election it was well remembered with what gal lantry you had saved Georgia from a meditated invasion on her Southern border, and with what equal modesty you had (or years after the restoration ol'peace declined all political prefer ment. By a unanimity unparallelled in this State, and we believe without an examplar in any other, it was deter mined by the people that yon should be the Chief Magistrate of Georgia, and in the two years of your incum bency this State has been singularly blessed with repose and quiet. Unity and concord have obtained at home, and over onr external relations uo cloud has ever supervened. In the sphere of finance onr credit has speed ily risen until none could question it, and in the constellation of common wealths Georgia has glittered the spotless Southern star. At this hoar, so replete with har mony and ao bright with promise, the dissonant voice of calumny jars in. Not only is your own individual char actor assailed, but a slur is cast upou the whole people of Georgia by an amult upon him to whom they have confided the honor of the State. The wrong, sir, which has been done in tins matter is done not to you only, but to us also. When the Governor is impugned, the animadversiou ex tends to those who committed into his hands the Great Seal It the pilot be uufaithful, what a refleation on the intelligence of the ship’s crew! How can wrong-doing be imputed to the Capitol without the shadow of reproach darkening every hamlet in the State. Believe, sir, that in these senti ments we feel not only for you hut wUh you. Accept our confidence— • not renewed, for it was never shaken —accept our confidence, our respect, our sympathy, and our esteem Very truly yours.—Chronicle and Constitu tionalut. . SO . tG «: Party Plans Disclosed. ferred upon it by section fifth of the Fourteenth Amendment to abridge the basis of representation in the Slates where colored citizens are de nied the right to vote in such propor tions as the number of intimidated male citizens bear to the whole num ber of male citizens twenty-one years ot age. The initiatory movement looking to the calling of this National Con vention of colored men was begun in South Carolina not long ago, as was noticed editorially in the Sun. It has been quietly worked np in all the Southern States, and the call for the Convention will he circulated soon. It is doubtless a part of the general programme which has been agreed upon by the leaders of the Republi can party to make the Southern question the paramount one in the next Presidential canvass. The de termination of the Republican lead ers to force at an early day a great debate npon the subject of the recent Congress elections in the South is very plain. It may not he made uutil after the holiday recess, but it must, conic, sooner or later. It may he precipitated\on Monday*next in the Senate, or Mr. Blaine calling up his resolution. It will certainly be be gun in the House the very moment there is the slightest pretext for it. As usual, the Republican leaders are acting not only in perfect harmo ny, but in perfect concert. Their recognized leaders have their forces well in baud, and are thoroughly pre pared for the struggle. Ti e meu who are to speak are agreed upon, and they have made all their preparation*. They ate crammed with stali.-iics, with e.wparte averments, and all th© ammunition necessary for the occasion* The Democrats are unprepared and undisciplined. The object of the Republican lead ers is to overwhelm their adversaries with facts and details, and make public sentiment on the subject ot Southern outrages. This great debate will then he fol lowed by a national colored Convcn lion, and its proceedings will continue the agitation and keep alive public iu- ten st. Hold on Roys. THE GENUINE DR.
