campaign, the Committee feels author- j
i/.ed to apply to all .citizens whose in

which the country finds itself placed, i
the committee believes that you will j
esteem it. both a privilege and a pleas

.
tribution, winch itiis.hoped may not be ;

ized to state that such voluntary con¬
tribution from persons employed in tho

•objected to in any official quarter.
The labors of this Committee will
affect the result of the Presidential as
well as the Congressional struggle; and
it may tberoforo reasonably hope to

of all who look, with droad, upon the
possibility of tho restoration of the
Democratic party to tho control of

Please make prompt and favorable

EDWARD MCPHERSON Secy.
We publish the above address for the
sole reason that we desire that tho peo
■ple of this so-called free Government
may see fur themselves to what desper¬
ate straits the Republican party is going
in order to elect their next President,
and that the poopie may know some¬
thing of tho bribery and corruption
upon which they feast and fatten.
Such communications as tho above
have been, and are being sent outifrom
the great Capital of this Union—the
place where Mr. Hays lives—to every
Postmastor and evory mmi who 'uap
pons to hold a small.commission in ulae
ecrvice of the United States.
If the person employed,in the-service
of this great government (we mean par¬
ty) happens to have somo.conscientious
scruples about giviug his money to be
need as bribe money, then he must re
tire from the service of his country aud
give place to some one who will consent
to bribe and be bribed- A grand gov¬
ernment, this surely—one of its great,
leading parties asking its employees to
give them money to bribe voters (!)
Go to the show to-night if you want
to, but be sure to behave yourselves as
becometh ladies and gentlemen. ,
Take ycur county paper and pay for it too.
A BOY CAN SUCCEED, IF he WILL.'
Wo seu too many boys and young man in this
day who have too little to do. They do nof
seem to care about working or cultivating their
" mind8 » HI,a hones, they grow up lazy and
ignorant and worthless. They sit around
; town, listen to vulgar stories, learn tu swear,
: e j, evir to b aooo an <i <t r ink intoxicating liquors,
never dreaming that they could do a great deal
j in the world by energetically pursuing seine
good cftUing . Tho boy who Slt , llbotlt lowBi
i bear3 filthy conversation and repeats it, takes
a drink now and then, does no work apd does
j not improve has mind, will not amount to much
j in this stirring, busy, hustling world. He is a
■ mere cypher that means nothing in the great
aggregate of human life, and will remain so
until he dies, and thau no one remembers him,
and he is deservedly forgotten by a world
whose moral and mental in terests he did noth¬
ing to increase.
Sometimes circumstanoes are adverse to a
boy’s advancement in learning and difficulties
pile up iu his path. He must not let circum*
stances control him nor difficulties aypall him>
but struggle through them. The following
facts show what energy will do against advers e
circumstances. The biographer of Wash ington
Irving, tho Addison of American literature,
says of him that ho worked at the blacksmith's
forge and studied os he worked. The same
thing is related iu tho eariy life of uem-r;.
Nathaniel Greene, of the American Revolu¬
tion. Rev. Ur Wm, E. Munsey, one of tho
most eloquent pulpit orators of the Southern
Methodist Church, when a plow-boy, used to
carry his book with him to tho field and put it
upon the fence at the end of the row ho was
plowing, and would read a few sentences and
digest them in his mind as he plowed from and
back to his book again. Bishop Basootn, (J
tho Methodist Church, had hut slender ad
vantages in his youth, but he improved what
he did have aud attained .eminence. Abe
Lincoln, ae clerk in a country store, used to
lay down on his .back on the cellar door, with
book in hand, and study whiio not wailing ou
customers.
A hoy whoihas tho will to do, can do. The
hoy wholhasithe will to study, ean study. The
boy who wants ito make something of himself,
can make something of hiiSseif. Rut a hoy
does not want to work, does nut want to
study, but wants to loiter arouud the streets
of some country town and wear out his pants
behind setting around, will never make any¬
thing of himself hut a trifling drone in tho
great human Live. Boys, ho ashamed of an
idle, profligate life, and go to work—work
your hands and work your brains, aud resolve
to he somebody.

■GENERA I. L.H. GAR 1 BELL FOR
GOVERNOR.
Chronicle ami Constitutionalist.
The day is close at band when the
■organized Democracy of the State >will
he called upon, through duly 'Con¬
stituted delegates in convention as¬
sembled, to name some one of her
many noble sons to hear the dem¬
ocratic banner of the State through
the impendieg {struggle.. Several dis
Unguiebed names have been men tinned,
among whom stands eminently prom¬
inent General Gartrell. If the priBss of
the State reflects popular sentiment
faod surely it does) then he is evidently
the choice of the people. North Geor¬
gia. through the Citizen, has already
hoisted his name at tho masthead, sub¬
ject to the action of the State Demo¬
cratic 1 convention. The Brunswick
Appeal takes up the popular refrain,
and the si-aboar 1 greets the mountain
signal with a hearty echo of approval.
The Baiabridge Democrat says: Gen¬
eral Gartrell -is freely talked of as a
candidate for governor, aud he would
make a good one. The Conyers Exam
iner says: The news from all parts of
the State is indeed flattering, and is evi¬
dence of his rapidly growing popularity.
Tho McDuffie Journal says: ilia can¬
didacy would inspire a degree of en¬
thusiasm tbrogbout our section which
no other candidate can arouse. In¬
tellectually, he is the peer of any man
in the Stare, while his devotion to
principle and patriotism has been brill¬
iantly lllustia ed iu off cis of honor
and misr, as well as in his irreproach¬
able private and professional life,'’ Arid
so many others of the press have ex¬
pressed themselves. General Gartrell
was born in Wilkes county, Ga, ou
the 7th of January, 1821. and is now iu
the vigor of intellectual manhood. I
Georgia in return has has h ny reflected honored honor him and his: ho j
upon 1
beloved State. Educated at Randolph,
Macon College, Va-, and Franklin 1
College, Ga. at an early ago he was
admitted to tho bar, when he rose ra¬
pidly to distinction. In J843 be was
elected Solicitor General of the north¬
ern circuit; in 18-17 he was elected to
the Legislature, and served four years;
in J SAG bo wa- an cl -ctor on the ticket
for Buchanan and Breckenridge; in
1857 he was-elected to congress and re¬
in 1852, ami became Regent of
Smithson 1 -o Ifisiunte. In 1602
was ag’.U '-.’rnffiioer of congress, aud

he would carry into the execu¬
chair. Well skilled in tho law,
of s, strong, vigorous, matur¬
intellect, a man eminently of the
the recipients of his benevo¬
grasp 1:is hands with a blessing,
Stato applauds his incorruptible
and patriotism, and friend

bring to his-aid meutal culture, deli
berate judgement and long experience

In all these bo has deserved well of
his country. His perfect knowledge
of the law is a guaranty that he will,
as a successful helmsman, skilfully and
avoid the breakers upon which
so many have made disastrous wrecks.
Close uureiritted attention to his exe¬
cutive duties will, enhance the grow¬
ing dignity of the State, whilst the
record of h,s honesty probity and in■
tegrity indisputable in his past official trusts afi'ord3
assurance that he will
guard well the people's money; that
he will s5e to it that the State shall
suffer no detriment iu this respect, and
that the treasury shall not be wasted,
or illegally disbursed, or squandered
and lost through carelessness and in¬
attention- That he would administer
the affairs ot the State devotedly and
ably to the Interests of the iwholo peo¬
ple, the upouilding and elevation of
their varied industries, aud the perma¬
nent estahli bment of the graudeur,
honor and dignity of the State there
cannot be the shadow of a doubt. In
a word, the name of Gen. Gartrell is
suggestive of brilliancy of intellect,
the hignest grade of legal ability, un¬
swerving honesty, integrity, devotion
and attention, to duty—a man who has
always and will ever continue to re¬
cognize tho invested fact that he and all others
who are with political posi¬
tions are the servants, the agents of
the people and the whole people.
