The Democracy of Ohio and
'nnsjlvau a t in t]ioir
States, have seen proper to assemble
together, and adopt platforms upon
they propose making battle
*'**» *be Radicals in those States in the
apf>eoaehino Fall elections. The ob
ject ■which they have in view is to grin
State ascendancy, oust the Radicals
at home, take the reins of government
in their own nads, and thus pave the
way to the great l> ttle for tl»e Consti
tution and the rights of the States,
which is to take place in the yenr 18-
72. With a patriotic purpose which
demands the admiration of all, they
have hitherto, with unbroken faith and
horoic resolve, contended with their
foes, but all in vain; the battle has
hitherto gone against lUem; still de
termined* to put down the enemies of ■
the country, finding, however, that j
upon the issues of the past, the same
inevitable defeat awaits them, they
propose simply, not, if wo understand
them, an abandonment of their princi
ples, but to go into the contest upon
other issues, upon which the common
enemy is more vulnerable, and with I
their old armor on, hope to win the j
tight. It would, it seems to us, be
nothing more nor less than fatuity to
hazard their fortunes upon questions
already determined against them in
their own States, and which, in their
deliberate and assembled judgmeut,
they believe would result inevitably in
the same disastrous defeat; and we
lean therefore, not only excuse, but
commend if it were necessary, any*
dropping of any plank from their
platforms upon which they do not
piopose to stake the contest, and muk
ing their fight upon others, on which,
in tneir judgment, they can go into
toe field witn a good prospect of suc
cess. It is important for many con
siderations that they should prove
victoiious, and among other reasons,
it is the more so, be cause of the effect
the F-ll elections will produce upon
the Presidential conflict of the next
year. This is of the last importance
to the Democracy of the whole Union,
for one m-»v very well anticipate which
party will succeed in 1872, by the re
sult of the State elections in ’7l.
They are the masters of their own
positions, and certainly are the only
parties who can properly decide the
course which it is best for them to
pursue in the coming Fall campaign,
and we, for one, have not yet
reen the propriety of an interference
from other quarters, with the course
which they may adopt for themselves!
in an issue iu which the interest of no
one else is involved, except in so far
as this contest may effect the platform
and campaign of the whole party in
the next year. What they may say
or do now, is said and done for a
present purpose, and binds no one but
themselves, and has no command or
authority over the platform, or action
of the National Democracy party,
which has yet to declare for itself the
principles upon which it will wage its
coming conflict with Radicalism, if, in
deed, it be at all necessaiy to have
any platform. And therefore, we
have, as yet, failed to see the necessity
for all the discussion which is now
being had upon the subject, fearing
that while it v ill result in no sensible
impression upon what will be the de
clared principles of the Democratic
party, when it shall meet in Conven
tion, yet that its direct effect will be
to produce divisions in the ranks of
that party itself, and cause the Radi
cals, healing tlieir breaches and
smothering their divisions, to concen
trate all their forces for the contest.—
H # !
Not for the present presuming to say !
which, in our judgment, may be the
best policy for us. when the time for
action of the party, as a party, shall
arrive, to pursue, we are grieved to see
the dissension which prevails in our
ranks, and with the Columbus Kuquir
er, believe the “discussion to be un
timely,” if it has not already injured
us.
We append the article of that pa
per os expressive of the views and
feelings trlijch we have all the time
entertained upon this important sub
ject:
WTIMrXi' DISCUSSION.
It hi apparent that the Radical press
of the country is greatly pleased at
Mr. Stepbens’dMfttfuaed warfare upon
what be calls tfee "new departure.”
Northern Radicals rely upon it to make
party capital for them in two ways:
Ist, by dividing and distracting the
Democratic party at the South; and
2d, by enabling them to whip again
into the traces such Northern Repub
licans as may be disposed to regard
all questions connected with slavery
and “ reconstruction” as settled, and
to act with the Democrats oil otner is
sues. We do not believe that the
Democrats of the South can be divi
ded or distracted by this discussion,
whether conducted by Mr. S e c >hens or
any other man; but we do apprehend
that the controversy now so persistent
ly kept up (after it has been found
! that the party at the North did uot
j mean ami is not likely to go to the, ex
treme> at first imagined) will result iu
uniting more closely the Radical party
at the North cn the old platform of
hostility to the S nth.
We like some remarks on this sub
ijeefc which we find in the Atlanta Con
’dilittion. That paper says: “If the
Northern and Western Democracy are
determined to fight their States, bat
tles, preliminary to the Presidential
contest of 1872, upon the platform of
the “new departure,’ is it right for ns
by our opposition and ceaseless agita
tion to supply the Radical party with
weapons to defeat thus eudau
gertiig, or rather utterly demolishing
the prospects of national Democracy
victory iu 1872, upon which depends
our most vital interests? Is not such
a course political suicide?
“ltut agfciu, it creates the impres
sion of growing division iu the Demo
cratic ranks. We all know, whatever
our differences of opinions as regards
tli« ‘new departure,’ we shall heartily
unite upon the national Democratic
pla, form when declared, and, like our
gallant Kentucky biethern.lock shields
together iu the Democratic assault up
on Radicalism.—But this wrangling
and dissension strengthens the enemy
by an eucouragemeut to persistent
ifl'orts to misrepresent the National
Democratic party, the Southern peo
ple, and the true issues involved. We
have an unscrupulous, victorious foe to
meet, backed by the powers of the gov
ernment, and representing the passions
and war prejudices of the Northern
people. In view of the tremendous
odds against us, harmony becomes
essential to the achievement of suc
cess.”

This is one of the heaviest crockery

has lately been in Europe, where he
selected a large stock of the latest
styles of crockery, glass ware and oth
er goods in their line.
This firm is one that has done much
for the jobbing trade of Atlanta. They
have used all legitimate means of briug
their goods to the attention of the
public, and succeeded long ago in de
riving a good trade from this and the
adjoining States. The fact that they
have beeu able to hold this trade and
to steadily increase it, shows a strong
argumeut in their favor. We take
great pleasure in commending them to
the public. They are able to sustain i
themselves under any demand that!
may be made upon them.

A lady correspondeu t of the New j
York Commercial Advertiser thus re
lates her experience at the Branch:
“I made a discovery a few evenings
since, which relieved my mind from a
gi eat deal of worimeut. Our sex are
naturally suspicious and inquisitive.
I was having a pleasant chat at the
room of a lady friend, \chen I thought
I heard my husbands voice over the fan
light of a neighboring room. We lis
tened and heard boisterous laughing
which soon convinced us that both our
husbands were there. We could hear
distinctly, “Chip,” “Chip,” “Chip.”
“Twenty better.” “What ye go,” and
a score or more of odd expressions.
Woman’s curiosity was uot long in
being giatified. We had no occasion
to peep through the key hole; we learn
ed to our entire satisfaction that our
husband were wedded to “two pairs.’
i wish you could have witnessed
husband when he entered our apart
ment about three o clock in xt morn
ing- I had been waiting for him—-
had a slcepKps night. He entered
stealthily, and commenced undressing •
himself. Ho was arrested for a mo
ment by my snoring. I confess I snor
ed, but only in fun. It was just to
fool him. He, poor fellow, stared at
me with all the eyes in his head—he
had never heard me play before on
the nasal organ. 1 went it as strong
is Levy, but with uot quite so much i
harmony. There he stood like pa- j
tieuce on a, monument, when I,com- j
me need talking in my sleep—‘Chip,”
‘chip, ‘chip,’ ‘twenty-five better,’ ‘two
pair., ‘Was not lie a picture, though?
I could stand it no longer, and°soi
roared right out. He confessed all,
promised to do better, and to give
more attention to bis deserted wife.”
Grant’* ltoAoiiiinution.
i
_ The chances of Grant’s re-nomiua- j
tion by the Republicans are good, in j
fact there seems to be but liitle doubt!
of it just now—something, however, |
may “turn up” to prevent it His
enemies within the Radical camp are
making every exertion and straining
every nerve to defeat him for the nom
ination, but the number of office
holders at his beck, and the Federal
patronage at his command, will doubt
less secure his nomination. A re
nomination, however, is one thiug, and
an election is another. If prudence
controls in the Democratic party, the
outlook for the success of a Democrat
ic candidate is not in the least inau
spicious. The star of Grant’s destiny
is on the wane, and his defeat can bo
compassed if the Democratic party
will cordially unite. The German el
ement all through the North and
West is much dissatisfied with Grant;
and if judicious councils prevail, large
accessions will be made to the Demo
cratic party. For ten 3 ears the Ger
man citizens up North have acted with
the Radicals, but now they are oppos
ed to Giant’s administration, and its
revolutionary tendency. The loss t of
the German vote would operate seri
ously against Grant, and if wisdom is
exercised by the Democracy, this vote
can be secured. The Radical party
must exen themselves now,or go un
der. Slavery has been its “harp of a
thousand strings,” but that is now
settled and disposed of, and they must
enter the field upon some new issue.—
What issue they will make, we know
not; their management of the finances,
the taxation, the internal improve
ment and the disposition of Federal
patronage has not been.such as to win
them any popularity. The people are
thoroughly disgusted with Radical
rule, with its corrupt and centraliza
tion tendencies, and desire a change.
If the Democratic party would look
facts in the face, become united, and
take advantage of the corruptions,
the riotness and dissension in the Rad
ical party, success would crown its
efforts. — At. Con.
A Slone Worth Eight Hundred
Thousand Dollars.
A Jacksonville (Illinois) correspond
ent of Lhe St. Louis Democrat, says a
suit, involving probably a million of
dollars, was commenced on the 28th
instant, in Morgan county Circuit
Court, by Rebecca W. Vail, William
H. Carson, Nancy Roe, Mary Baker
and eight others, against Kitty FlyuD,
Thomas M. Carson, Thomas Roe and
eleven others. The bill alleges that on
a day too remote to be mentioned
with certainty, but about one hundred
years ago, one A. M. Roe, of the State
of Virginia, became possessed by dis
covery, of a certain precious stone,
remark 1 ble for its hardness and bril
liancy, and so far as has been tested,
its characteristics are those of a dia
mond of the first water; that this
stone is one and a half inches in di
ameter one way, and something great
er the other way, and is of eight hun
dred thousand dollars’ value; and that
this stone is now in the possession of
Thomas M. Carson, of Jacksonville.—
The plaintiffs ask that defendants be
compelled to bring this gem into
court to sell and distribute the pro
ceeds among the heirs. The value of
this stone was but recently ascertain
ed, although it has been iu the pos
session of William Roe and his heirs
over a centuey.
JSSsT 1 A few days since a woman in
Milwaukee was “hard at it” blowing
up the neighbors, a hired girl, and ev
erything in general, when her husband
entered and interposed a mild word
This added fuel to her temper, and
she opened lier mouth for an angry
reply, but a spasm contracted her
cheek, her lower jaw fell, and she
could neither speak nor shut her
mouth, but remained in that condi
tion, her tongue hung out, and her
eyes nearly stared outpf their sockets.
On examination being made, it was
found that she had dislocated her
jawbone in her violent effort to make
a stinging, reply to her husband. A
surgeon was called, who reduced the
dislocation, bound up her head, and
prescribed a gruel diet.

Oar Trip to Polk County.
According to promise, we propose
to give our readers an account of our
trip to Rock Mart and Yan Wert, in
this issue.
In company with Mr. F. E. Gibson*
of Griffin, we left Cartersville on Fri
day, the 4th instant. Having a good
“turn-out,” from our friend Joe Britt’s
Livery stable, we arrrivod at Rock
Mart, after about a five hour’s drive,
about twelve o'clock, and after taking
our horse to the Livery stable, we
proceeded without delay, to the hotel
kept by Mr. Cox, formerly proprietor
of the Exchange Hotel, of this place,
and partook of a dinner that would
have done credit to Delmonico, and
we were of the opinion, that Mr. Cox,
in addition to being a clever man,
knew how to “keep a hotel.”
After dinner, we took a walk over
the thriving little towm, and were grat
ified to see how rapidly it had improv
ed sirce we were there last. New
buildings are springing up in every por
tion of it, and are being occupied as
soon as completed. Among the mer
chants doing business there, we men
tion the following:
Mr. \Y. Ferguson, dealer in Dry
Goods, &c, and from what we could
gather, is driving a lively trade. He
is a pel feet gentleman, and has our
thanks for services rendered us, and
our best wishes for his future welfare
aud prosperity. Messrs. Hines &
Reeves, dealers in Dry Goods, Cloth
ing, &c., are also doing a lively busi
ness. Messrs. Joe & Hud York, deal
ers in Wines, Whiskeys, Cigars, Ac.,
carry things before them. They ar e
clever boys, and no doubt will succeed-
Mr. Jessee Pritchett, runs a Bar-room
and Livery Stable. Our whilom
friend, A. B. Sims, Jr., better known
as Boully, superintends the Bar-room,
and is always on hand, ready and
willing to wait on his customers.
Our young friend, O. H. Milner,
alias “Pomp” having some law busi
ness that demanded his attention,
down there, made liis debut into the
little city, about 1 o’clock, and after
delivering his “tirery steed” up to
Boully Sims, with the request that he
feed him well, bent his footsteps in the
direction of Cox’s Hotel, but owing to
an express stipulation between Pomp
and us, we will not tell how much he
eat, nnd how, when he was helping
himself, once, twice and thrice, he
complimented the manner in which
the meal was prepared. Late in the
afternoon. Mr .Frank Harris, oue of the
engineers of the Cherokee Railroad,
Mr. F. E. Gibson, Pomp and ourself
had our horses “geared up,” for the
purpose of visiting that portion of the
Railroad upon which the convicts of
the Georgia Penitentiary were at work,
which point we reached after traveling
a distance of two and a half or three
miles, beyond Rock Mart, in the di
rection of Cedar Town, through the
piny-woods, piloted by our polite, af
fable, and gentlemanly young friend,
Mr. Frank Harris. We will state
simply, that there were no idlers in
that crowd, and to say they worked,
hardly expresses it. Having become
wearied looking at these unfortunates,
not one of whom, we dare say, but has
been made to realize the truth of the
assertion, “the way of the transgressor
is hard,” we turned and drove slowly
back to Rock Mart, arriving just in
time for supper. We were pleased to
meet our friend Guy Moseley, former
ly of*ke firm of the Moseley Brothers,
of this place, who is now on the engin
eer corps of the Cherokee Railroad.—
After doing full justice to an excellent
supper, aud being tired, we retired
early, and woke on the following
morning, Saturday, very much refresh
ed by the night’s slumber.
Breakfast over, Pomp and ourself,
drove over to Van Wert, at which
place a Justice Court was to be held.
Ten o’clock, the hour for Court to
open, having rolled around, the Bail
iff, in stentorian tones, informed the
people of this fact, and a few minutes
the store house of Rev. W. W. Simp
son, was filled to overflowing. His
Honor, Judge A. T. Williamson, an
nounced that the first case for adjust
ment was that of Dr. S. W. Thomp
son, of Cartersville, vs. S. S. Davis, of
Van Wert, O. H. Milner, for the de
fendant, and Col. Fletcher, for the
plaintiff. After tne examination of
the witnesses, our fiiend Pomp, pro
ceeded to prove to his Honor, in a
splendid little speech of about twenty
minutes duration, the justness of the
position he had taken, which position !
ho affirmed, the law sustained. He !
was followed by Col. F.etcher, who
presented things in altogether anew !
light to the owe in which Pomp had j
presented them, llis Honor failed to
see it through the same glasses that
Pomp did, and consequently gave a
Judgment in favor of the plaintiff.
Several cases were disposed of, and
Col. Fletcher, and Capt. Ware, had it
•‘hot and heavy;” both these gentle
men arc first-rate lawyers.
Old Van Wert io not half dead yet,
but on the contrary, is building up
rapidly, and ere the lapse of many
years, Yan Wert and Rock Mart, will
be consolidated—all oue—aud the big
gest town of its size, in the world !
and the “Polk County News,” the big
gest newspaper in the world ! Bravo,
Yan Wert, Hurrah, Rock Mart, and
bully for the “Polk County News!”
We left Yan Wert Saturday after
noon, “homeward bound,” and arrived
safely about nine o’clock.
We hftvn’t told half wo kuow and
would like to tell, but for want of
time and space, we are compelled to
j stop right here.
