**Tbe triumphant result o: the late

We should not forget that effort—
Uni'cd, unceasing, indefatigable effitrf,
it the price of victory; tor should wc
underestimate theva’ue of organization
in directing that effort. Wc feel con
strained to warn the people against the
ttrdiness and apparent indifference that
characterise the progress, or rather, the
want of [regress, in organizing hr the
approaching contest.
No time should be lost in perfecting
a thorough and e nipletc organization
of a central club in cuch cffCnty, and of
a sub-club iu each Militia Dis'rict.
"Wc would suggest tl at the ‘people of

Conservative negroes to unite with

For the Dawson ‘Journal.”
Atlanta, G a., June ‘2lst, 186S
Messrs. Editors: —Tfce la'est news
upon our streets this morning, and l
presume reliable, is the meeting of the
Legislature. It is Esid by the knowing
one* that the said to be Governor, Bol
lock, will iD a few days issue bi- Procla
mation, convening that highly intellec
tual in part, colored body together, on
the 4th of July next. 1 suppose every
man can conjecture the ostensible pur
pose—to lay ihe foundati.n for our glo
rious admission ink) the Union again,
which cannct be done tut by tbc adop
tion of that ever memorable 14th Arti
cle, which makes a white man EQUAL
•to the negro, and secures this privilege
perpetually. I suppose this may be
done, as there is In tbc Legislature some
30 negro members to start with—even
this number, however, may not be suf
ficient to secure its passage. Tbc differ
ence between the liads and the Demo
crats, on joint ballot is not very large.
Bince the eleotion, several who were put
down as Radicals have denied the fact;
and others weic conservative at first;
rad God only knows how many more
will want to join the Democratic Church
in ibis great revival now going on from
one extreme part of the country to the
othor. I see by the morning’s payors
that even Mr. Cbase is under conviction,
and contemplates being at the General
Meeting in Mew York on the 4th of Ju
ly, and will ester himself for member
ship. I have this morning read a por
tion of his experience and the convic
tions of bis mind in reference to the
great work which is now goiDg on. He
says most emphatically, under the new
order of things, he is for the admission
of the States—universal amnesty and
universal suffrage, leaving the latter,
however, to the 6tates respectively, to
regulate.—the reduction of taxation as
far as possibly can be done to carry on
the expenses of the Government, and
that tbe taxation shall be made to bear
equal upon all parties, nut including tbe
bond-hoider cr corporations of any kind
This is really a most excellent expe
rience, and one ajhich might deceive
some of the oldest members of the broth,
erhood. If Mr. Cbase had left out his
universal storage, I think most proba
ble that he would have secured tbc
fight hand of fellowship as a Democrat
jo member; but,as one of tbe cardinal
principles of the Democratic faith is op
position to negro suffrage, bis chances
for being elected bead of the Church on
that occasion wijl be uncertain; IV’o
arc looking to one whose past and pr<s
out * lews upon all of tb• se (juistiihs
»’.e known, appreciated an I approbated
by a large portion of the people of the
United States, 1 *'■*" tbo Hoo. Gnorgc

upon tgo, uiast : bv*d as the Democratic
candidate for lie Presidency, and you
will so* an cjLciteipeut produm and iu this

pka will crown our Efforts throughout
the whole c unlry, and Heaven will
again projUioaslv smile upon our land.
'J'iic city Council Lavs well nigh com
pleted their arrangements in Cuing up
the City Hall fur the ssscutbdßg of the
Legislature. It is neat in its appear
auee and every way calculated to fulfill
all the neceasarv purposes for which it
was designed Tbo llotell are under
going repairs, nnd Landlords busily en
gaged in accumulating good things for
the forthcoming event, with the hope of
making up the losses of the past. Doc
tors arc not doing much, as it is distress
ingly healthy and the air very pure iu
this region. Notwithstanding all this,
we have a nun-hive ui here trying to
grind out a few more »f the “tame tort ”
Hy the way, for the benefit of the breth
ren in your country, who, [erhaps, do
not take- Medical Journals, I dewire to
sny a few plain things, f. unded upon
facts, in relation to ©nr Atlanta Medi
cal Coll ge. It will be remembered it
was chartered by the .State and a dona
tion of £15,000 given, which made it
the property of the people of Georgia,
for public ar.d not for jrivate use. In
1868, Dr. John 0 Westmoreland, ob
tained frCm tie Legislature, in a uD .
drstine mann(p ( ap amendment to the
original charter, which took from the
Trustees all power in the management
of the Institution, and gave to the Fac
ulty the right to elect each other, turn
out with or instruct a course, to grad
uate students at any time, or under any
circumstances, whether had attend
ed one or two courses, or none at all.—
This extraordinary power was such a
gross violation of any principle which
governed the Profte-ion heretofore, that
the Georgia Medical Association, at its
last session, Bth of April, passed resolu
tions, declaring tbo Atlanta Medical
Gcllege “illegal,’’ cut of order, a private
school, and that thiir future graduates
would not bs recognized.” Ves, with
these facts staring ti p Faculty in the
face, they are obstinately cudeavorirg
to piogress with ticir Lectures to a class
of some 4l) 6tu«leutg, who ever bdou re
mind the Facul.ty with the facts as I
have truthfully stated them—who iu
return console them by saying, that “if
it don’t all turn out right, they will re
fund their money.” llow can it '‘turn
out right,” when the Trustees have, by
resolution, declared that they will not
recognize the present organization of tbe
Institution ? How can it “turn out
right” when tbe President of tbc Board
of Trustees will not sign the Diplomas?
How can it ‘Hum out right” wben tbo
Medical Association cf Georgia have
said that tbe College is “illegal, out if
order, a private school, and whoso grad
uates will not Jpc rec gnized ? How can
it “turn out right” when the Faculty
themrelvcs know that they have vitia
ted medical ethics arc amenable to
the American Medicai Association? It
can never “turn tut right” until the
Legislature of Georgia, by its own acts,
destroys that amendment ch ained by
John G Westmoreland, and places the
If us'itution wgain in the hands of the
Trustees, the corporators, who were
alone, under the Oiiginal charter, the
proffer and legitimate guardians of the
College. AN OPINION.
Bullock “Believed. ’’
Tbc announcement that the Senate
of the United States on Thursday, pass
ed a bill relieving “(fovornor” R. B.
Bollock of bis political disabilities and
allowing him to hold offiee without tak
iug the iron clad oath, is very sugges
tive. lie was himself ineligible to the
■dice at the time when he and his
friends had Judge Irwin, his opponent,
ruled off the track as Ineligible ! Bul
lock may have been raised up in Massa
chusetts and there taught that such
tricks were reputable and fair In poli
tics, but Southern white men entertain
different notions. Tbo excuse, wbico
will doubtless be urged, that tbe lest
oath from taking which he is relieved is
a different one from that required of
Judge Irwin, is a miserable pretext. It
only goes (o show that a disability uo
der which Judge Irwin might be said
to labor was tneislcd on as a bar to bis
election, while no notice wag taken of
one under which both be and Hullock
prevailed on the District Commander to
make a discrimination in the tests that
would rule off only Irwin aDd let Bul
lock continue to run ; but now, after the
election, Bullock finds it necessary to
procure relief from a disqualification
which existed as well befure as after his
election. It is a dirty piece of business
for all engaged in it, and a characteris
tic incident in the chapter of absurdities
aDd outrages that makes up tbc history
of Congressional and military “recon
structing” of tbe Southern States

NEW YORK CONVENTION.
liiintviise
IhTiiocrnc) of I In- Con airy.
There is now o*vry dmJfcatiMp tout
the attendance upon the Convention
will ho the largest ever known at a
gathering of the kind in the country 1
Preparations are being mado by tho (
Democracy in almost every State to j
cornu here in largo numbers. Rooms
have been engaged in near'y every !
hotel hi the city, commencing with
those oear tho lower end <d Broadway
and extending to the Central Park.— j
The available spate in the hotels boa 1
] nearly all been taken, and there are a I
1 number of instances where private j
houses have boon hired for tho ac orn- j
modation of outsido delegations. A
number of the r sidenta of ti.e city are I
making arrangements to throw their 1
doors open to their Democratic friends
from abroad. This, with thy extensive
bote! accommodations will be sufficient
to provide for all w ho may come.
One of the most imposing demon
strations of the week of the Conven
tion will bo the gathering of the sol
diers and suitors. Unlike the assem
blage at Chicago, it will not bo made
up of quartermasters, sutlers and
camp followers, but of the fighting
men of the army, from the generals
down to the private soldier. Prom
jn-fwmt indications ‘.hefe will be folly
twenty thousand of these men here,
and they nre coming not to nrge the
claims of any par ieular candidate, but
to prove to the world th»» ** ae so’;]j L . rs
do not nn-tsla General Grant since he
11 us thrown himself into the hands of
the revolutionists, and that the gather
ing rft Chicago, under tbo name of the
soldiers, did not represent the fighting
men of the army. The Cooper Insti
tute has already been chartered to
hold their meetings in, and a bouse fn
University Place has been hired for
the headquarters of managers. The
latter place will be taken posse-ston of
early next week, and occupied until
after the Convention adjourns.
Net one-tenth part of those who will
come to the Convention will be able to
1 gain admittance to Tammany Hall du
-1 ring the sessions of the Convetrion,
| notwithstanding full six thousand peo
I pie can be accommodated in the hall,
This being the ease, one nf the impor
tant qhes ions now is, how shall the
admittance be regulated so as to cause
the least dissatisfaction. Several plans
ofissueing tickets have been proposed
The most feasible, and the plan which
will, undoubtedly, give ibe best satis
faction to all cone- rm and, will be to first
set apart the space required for the
delegates, and next that of the repre
sentatives of the press When this is
done, ascertain how many mote can
be accommodated and issue tickets
necording'y, these tickets to be divid
ed pro rota among the entire number
of delegates. If the hall will accom
modate lour thousand besides the del
egates and the representatives of the
press, thrn each delegate will have
some ten tickets to admit his friends
from his district. This plaD will g've
equal chance to the outsiders from
every State, end no one section will
have the advantage over any other.
“Playeil Out."
We find tbc following paragraph in
the Chicago Republican. It says:
“Such is part of tbe material which
to-day constitutes tbe Democratic party
Gen. N. B Forrest goes to the July
Convention in New York, his hands
red with the blood of murdered soldiers
of the United States, to represent Ten
nessee as one of its delegates—as an ap
propriate exponent of the men whom his
State delights 16 hhnor—as a fair exem
plification of the ideas and feelings of
bis constituents.”
Tbe above i* “played out,” says the
Cincinnati Enquirer. Whom did the
Republican party have in the Chicago
Convention ? Baeh men aa Gov. Brown
of Georgia. Brown was an oiiginal se
cessionist, lie was one of the “prccip
tutors” of that measure which Gen.
Forrest was not. Forrist opposed seces
sion. Brown favored it, and after he
had induced the people to accept it, he
abandoned it. Forrest did not, but
fought to the close. Which is the most
huCerabte man ? The original foment
er oi" » struggle, who, after it has com
menc:d, in accordance with bin augges
tioup, igQomioiously backs out, or one
who opposes the commencement of a
fight, but after he is in, adheres to it
like a man and n hero ? Tbe Republi
cans prefer such men as the former.—
The Democracy the latter.
VYli.it will the Democrats Do ?
It has been asked, ‘‘What will the
Democracy do if we help to pluce
them in power f” Tbe question is so
well and appropriately answered and
so eatipfactcrily summed up by Gener
al W. A. Gorman, of Minnesota, in
u late speech, that we inset t tbe an
swer here:
If the Democracy get power in the
government, they will reduce the tariff
tax on all your tea, and what you
drink and wear
They will restore the Union, and
turn over all tho Southern States, ex
penses to be paid by the South alone.
We will turn out and abolish ten
thousand abolition Freedmeu’s Hu
reau office holders, nnd save millions
of dollars to the jwrtipla’s pockets.
Wo will bid 1 be South support them
selves, nnd go to raising erftton and su
gar, and w« wj’l continue to raise pro
duce to feed Tfiem.
We will pay the public debt in tbo
same currency wo pay you and trie
s:mii© you p,y each other, and thus
save miiftrms more in the pockets of
the |>eop!e.
it we pay the rich in gold, we will
pay you iu gold If we pay you in
paper money we will pay plethoric
bond holders in pnj er money.
\\ e will enact laws enable you to
buy your goods wuere you can buy
cheapest, and sell where you can get
tho bear price.
We w ill protect labor from the en
croachment of capital.
We will leave each State to govern
itself, limited only by the Federal Con
stitution.
We will reduce the army in the
South and send them to tho plains to
protect tbo frontier and new routes to
ihe Far West.
We will res'ore commerce, peace
and good will between the North and i
South.
We will reduce taxes, both State
and national.
We will lesson the office holders,
and release you from taxation to sup
port them.
We will enact lnws inside and not
outside the Constitution.
We will restore peace at home and
maintain your honor abroad.
Wo willin augurute a day of mod
eration, order nnd good will, instead'
of hnto and ill will, as now taught by
Jacobin politicians.
We wi 1 give eon"! rights n il 1
grant cx f,l .'usb; c privileges to none. 1
'• c V. in substitute calm statesman- j
ship for mad Jacobinism.
Wc will make pets no longer of ne
groes nt the expense of tho whites, nor 1
force suffrage for them at the expenso
and against the will of those who havej
created and maintained the Govern
ment.
The Mormons expect a heavy emigra
tion of brevet saints this season.
