TO POSTMASTERS.

i ha proprietor* of tbi> fact. C’atdf, already print-
* *l, are furnished on application lothe J'oetmaster,
whoae only duty will be to All out with the name

If to go outside of party princi
ple* is to constitute an Independ
ent, Brn. Shivers more properly
t ome* under that head, lor he is
advocating principles that find no
place in the Democratic platform.
If Brother Shivers wishes to dis
cuss the taritT question with us we
arc ready to meet him; but wo want
him to stick to the text, and not go
wandering off all over the country.
Amcricus Rkcordkk.
Kditor Olossner will not deny
i lint he is an independent democrat.
Jin will not deny that he ran an in
dependent democrat journal in
Clinton Illinois. Now we hold it
is important in all political discus
sions to know from what political
party each side of tho question is
supported. If wo arc discussing
this question with an independent
democrat it is fair and proper tlint
the public should know it. Bro
(llcssner’s position should not
shrink back under bomb proof that
lie is seeking to destroy. We ask
the direct question: “Is Bro Gloss-
nor an organized, or independent
democrat T"— Warrentan Clipper.
Since the discussion of the tari(T
question by the ItKrunuKu and
Clipjier, which discussion was of
the Clippers own seeking, Bro.
Shivers tils endeavored to weaken
the force of our arguments, uot by
proofs and counter-arguments, but
by side issues and insinuations as
to our political position. We have
endeavored to kcop him to the test;
hut, as in tho above instance, lie has
invariably dodged the issue and
wandered oir into othor fields. As
he seems to consider it import
ant lo know our past and present
political position, wo propose to
gratify him, in the hope that be will
hereafter confine himself to tho
discussion which he inaugurated.
Had his mind not become so con
fused by his twistings and turnings
on the tarilf question, he would
have had no need of asking tho
question lie lias, lor our position
was plainly staled iqioii taking
charge of the RKi.onnKit, nml our
editorials have given fcitli no un
certain sound since tlmt time, lint
hero arc our answers:
We do deny that we arc nit in
dependent democrat, as the term is
used in Georgia politics, and wo
do alllrui that we are an organized
democrat us that term is usoil in
Georgia politics, and which we con
sider to mean the support of the
principles enunciated by the demo
cratic party through its regularly
organized conventions, and the
support ol the candidates of the
democratic party regularly nomin
ated by authorized conventions.
Wo arc an organized democrat be-
rause it is only throught organiza
tion that the principles we advo
cate can be successfully carried
out.

We do not deny that we publish
ed an independent-democrat jour
nal ill Clinton, Illiuois; but the in
dependent-democratic party of tlmt
State bore no relation in it* princi
ples to the independent-democratic
party of Georgia. Some years ago
there was in Illinois a local ques
tion regarding the right of the
State to control by legislation the
railroad* nnd other chartered cor
porations. Upon this question a
new party was formed, which had
for its principle* the right of the
State to control all .corporation*
created by the State and opposi
tion to class legislation. In many
portion* of the state the Democrats
united with the new party, which
was called Independent, and el
ected members of the legislature.
Cpon the assembling of the legis
lature the Democratic members
united with the Independents in
electing Judge Davis to the United
States Senate, thereby defeating
John A. Logan, a radical republi
can. Under those circumstances
and nt that time we published an
Independent-Democratic journal,
and have no apology to oiler for so
doing. W e did then what we are
doiug liow—oppused class iegilu-!

In the last Hawkinsviile Dis

nay* this iu regard to the congress
ional condidntes:
In regard to congressional mat
ters, a great many think the east
side of the river is entitled to the
man. While I don’t take much
stock ill this idea, and think it
matter* hut little where the nmn
lives, so he is as good as the best,
yet there arc a great many who
think tlmt there are men on this
side who are as well qualified for
congressional honors ns on the
west side, and everything being
equal, it is nothing less than jus
tice that this side should have
some of tho “pie.” Tlmt tlie west
side Im* furnished the tr.au ever
siuco the diBtriot was formed, and
that now they should show their
magnanimity by giving the cast a
showing. But in ense tlmt they
are not willing to do this, tlmt wc
elect uninstructcd delegations, and
let tlie other side have tlie war
among themselves, and let the
liniids of our delegates bo united to

comes. Those whe favor General i
Cook say lie 1ms made a good and 1
faithful member: Ims looked after j
tlie interests of Ids constituents;
tliut his long service in congress
hue given him ex|>crience and a
thorough understanding of the

you Imvc a good thing keep it,
while those who opposo General

honors and tho profits of Ihu posi
tion long enough lo Imvc gratified
hi* ambition, and laid by a suffi
ciency of this world's goods to make
him easy the balance of his life,
and tlmt he should lie willing to

asking the 'people to honor him
unless his abilities were more pre
eminent than they are.
