TUESDAY MORNING ::::OCTOBF.'R22.
Connxi’nox.—In the publication of the
ticket nominated by the Democracy, on
rani r>lay last, the narno ofonooftlie notnl-
•m» was omitted -our reporter having
been misled by Ida Informant. Tbe com
plete ticket la i« followa:
Or. James 1’. Uambloton, of Fulton.
r. T. Smith, of Fulton.
.1. K. Gull alt, of Fulton.
K. IV, Talllafcrro, of Fulton.
Oaiilel It. Turner, of Cobb.
tv. T. Winn, of Cobb.
J. B. Key, of Clayton.
Tbe ticket preaented above la corapoaeil
ol gentlemen, among whom we recognize
•one of our moat eateemed friends. That
they are wrong politically we regret, be
cause our own convictions of the right
eunipela ns to oppoae their aspirations nnd
political tenets. The ticket of our choice—
the names of the representatives of our
principles—will be .round at the bead of
our columns. While we support the one
zealously nnd earnestly, the other shall be
opposed fairly and cnurtdniisly.
A Suiza.—The fai t that a ticket was
Nominated hy the Democratic Convention,
on Saturday lust, hr no means proves that
rite imnilnees are In favor of reconstruc
tion. under' the ai ls of Cungruss. Their
l.adlngorgaii advises the people to refrain
from t oting “for" or -against’: convention.
A majority of the regietered voters must
vole upon the question of a convention, to
authorise the assembling ef such a body.
Further, a majority of those who do voet
must vote afflmutlvely, before we ran have
a convention. This la well known to the
leaders of tlie Democratic Non-Ueconstruc-
lion party. Hence, their followers are ad
vised to remain silent upon the question of
Convention, In tbe hope that a majority of
those who have reglatered can, by stub
born oeaa, defeat a convention. This Is the
■ret hope of the dlsorganlzcrs. But should
tills fall, they fall back upon another. They
present a ticket, every man upon which
Is understood to be opposed to reconstruc
tion under tho congressional plan. If we
wrong the nominees s correction will
cheerfully bo made. Wo believe, however,
such Is the political status. The Rcpubll-
van ticket is composed of men who favor
reconstruction under tho terms proposed.
Tho Itepuhllcun party will votu -for" a
. .invention. The latter party will use every
means to restore tho State to the sisterhood
ef the Union; while the Democratic oppo
sition Is using two plans to defeat that end.
The Issue Is plain. I./t tho pooplo of Geor
gia decide I
Tits Nonuxnx Elkltioxs axi> tuk
Bocth.— 1 There are thoso In Georgia who
seem to think that tho result of the late
vlections In Pennsylvania and Ohio can
somehow modify tho terms of Itcconstruc-
tion, as set forth In the Sherman Act.
Speaking of this subject, the Cincinnati
Commercial says:
The tone of leading Southern papers
since the newa of tho October clectiona
reached them, la oot encouraging to those
Who have hoped to see Justice done, and
C ire and Union restored. The assumption
that tho Northern reaction Is toward
rebellion: that their rause Is gaining
strength in tbe North, and presently they
will recover In political warfare their losses
In military struggles, and do better than If
they had established the Southern Confed
eracy—that is, rule over the whole Union,
instead of half of it. They are mistaken.
'The North would be Ann as e rock. If the
rebel cause were clearly at Issue. Tho
Northern people have been attending re
cently, to some side Issues. If tbo Southern
people and politicians worn wlseenough to
skracedo negro suffrage, and claim rebel
►ullVage—to take the broad grouml that
•nrery body should be enfranchised—they
would greatly promote the settlement so
devoutly wished hy all who are weary of
high-pressure excitement and agitation.
To which it la natural to reply: The
Northern people will not have negro suf-
Wage themselves, but they persist In forc
ing It upon the South. The consequence
will be, that every free negro Nortliwbo
can. will eoino South; whilst every white
Wan South who can, will go North.
Taxxzsaaa Politics.—We learn from
Ihs Chattanooga Republican that lion. D.
C. Trevbctt. Chancellor, and Hon. W. I,.
Adame, Judge of that Circuit, have tend
ered their resignations, and Gov. Brown-
lew hea Issued proclamations ordering an
nleotlon to dll tjoth offices, on tho 30tb day
«f November next. We believe that the
resignations of these officers do nut tskn
effect until after the election.
Cocxtar Partus.—Properly conducted,
a rouutrr paper becomes a necessity. But
When It Is Hlled up with stale Items from
New York ami other exchanges. It liecouiea
a nuisance. lews) newa eareftilly collect

graphs, Is the chief staple ol's good coun
try uewsparper.

vod Johnson, who got It from Major Polk,
of Maury county, Tennessee, who procur
ed It from a Union aoldler. who “found" it
somewhere near Washington. The watch,
which Is a quaint old hull's eye tlmepii
OVujiI.—A Washington dispatch, of the
17th, says:
The declaration of Montgomery Blair, In
Ills speech, last night, that General Grant,
despite tbe contradiction which hod been
made, expressed his gratification of the're
sult of the recent elections, excites some
comment here. I'or It Is known that tho
Washington Star was officially authorized
to deny tlm story, when It llrst appeared,
The friends of Chase are making their com
inents over tho two assertions, and Insist
that General Graut shall define his posh
tlon In this particular, over Ills own signa
ture, or else request his friends to cease the
agitation of Ills name for the Presidency,
On the other hand the friends of Grantdo-
c'are that the Blairs have started tills story
as h part of a seheme to Injure the Chaao
Interest, Altogether, tho politicians have
boil a spicy time In discussing the contra
dictory stories.

The next year we beat Vallandlgham by

triumph as that God rules. Independence
would havo been defeated In 1775. It was
provliltned In 1770. Our soldiers were not
disheartened with partial defeats, but tlm
Copperheads were. Tncy raised tho white
Hag in 1801. Ill 1805 tho National banner
floated In triumph uvor every part uf our
country. So will It In-next year. In the

defeats. We must insist upon greater econ
omy In public expenditures. We must en
force our revenue laws. We must cease to
quarrel aiming ourselves. Our adversaries
may la: inado useful in closing our ranks.
I trust that New Yurk, as the Empire
State, may take tlm lead in this movement,
and, hv maintaining Republican ascend
ency, convince Democrats nnd Rolmls that
the party nod principles that prevailed du

A. II. Sage, Keg- Secretary Vitim liepubli-
can Committee of Ike City of Ifett York:
Sir—Your circular of thelltli Inst, is re
ceived. 1 regret my Inability to he with
you on the 1 < tli lust., ns you request. But
I hope nnd ti list that the Republicans of
tlm great Em .lire Statu will not abate one
jot of courage or hope in consequence of
tho temporary check their brethren have
had in Ohio. For more than fourteen
years Ohio has had a succession of Repub
lican Governors, nnd she never will have
any other. Her recent narrow escape will
only havo tho cil'cot to secure her against
future accidents. The Republicans of Ohio
were never more radical, more contldent uf
their strength, nor more resolutely deter,
mined to carry out their principles to a ll-
nal triumph than now. and. If our election
could lie held over again to-morrow, wane
cd of our danger, we should carry the
State hy more than 5U.UIK). Wo certainly
shall do'this next fall If we stand llrmly by
the great and godlike principle of equal
and exact justice to all men. But even de
feat on such a principle Is better than vie
turyon any ether, ami nnal defeat on this
principle Is as itil|M>ssihle as that a God of
justice shall cease to rule Ihu world

Geatlemen—Almost uninterrupted aba
fence for two years past, spout In official
and political duties, lisa crowded tho brief
interval remaining before tbe opening of
the eeeelon of Congress with engagements
which It Is Impossible to disregard, and
which demand my attentlnn just now. I
must, therefore. deny tnysclf tho pleasure
or accepting your Invitation to address the
Union Republicans of New York on Wed
nesday next. Realizing how little my pre
sence ct-tld add to the occasion. I neverthe
less deeply regret tny Inability to he with
you. It is at this time peculiarly a satis
faction to every true Union man tu de
clare aftvslt bis lalth lu the cause, anti tu re
new his vows to strive for Its ivuiplcto as
cendency. In times of dhimdnnt majori
ties, when opponents are repudlatixl and
disheartened, and the pur|awes and acci
dents of the hour carry a parts upon a
flood-title of success, those wlm In con
science believe, and In heart feel, the lust-
lieu and gravity of the advancing cause,
may shun the responsibilities of the mo
ment, ami Icavo toothers tho prominence
and glory of results. Then all can be en
thusiastic; then devotion Is evsy, nnd cour
age is cheap. But when disaster la abroad,
and danger In front, then those who hon
estly abide la the faith are strengthened by
a trust which seeks utterance and action.
That wc are now in a period of perifto the
country, and to tho |atrty which has stood
by tlm country through these years of
. ... crime and woes can noth* denied. The
MiscniKXartox. -A big rough Imok tie- American people, acting through public

While the Ixsue thus made stood clear by
iUelf, combinations nml politicians could
not (find before tho public sense. But the
question hat become obscured and encum
bered. Sldq Issues are used to distort nnd
cover up tho real matter In band, and tho
tho Democratic party, rolling its responsi
bility- ,v s mi it* own shoulders upon ours,
SpjMtfM’ tl * Union party on tml for tbe
crimes ot It* betrayers and Its foes. Tbe
debt caine from tho rebellion, and the
rebellion would never have been ventured
upon, had not the Democratic party Inci
ted the spirit of secession, and encouraged
ItM louder*. Vet we are formally ami grave
ly prosecuted for creating the debt, nnd the
country is threatened with repudiation
and disgrace. Mr. JoIiihoii employs a
.Secretary of the Treasury whose ixditicftl
instinct* and notions, a* fur us he has any,
are sinister toward the Union party. Un
der his management, we arc told by Demo
cratic organa, job* nud lux practices pre
vail; fraud*and forgeries occur; bad men
ure trusted; deceptive statements are put
out; the public credit tuffer*, and all this
is paraded and harped upon as If the Union
uarty was to blame, and as if Andrew
Johnson and Cabinet did not receive coun
tenance nnd Impunity from tbe Demo
cratic party. Ho. too, in the Houtb, under
the inspiration derived from the President
and his supporters In the North, men con
spire to hi uder and delay reconstruction,
and thus to perpetuate military rule, and
the rcHults thus produced are thrown in
our faces as sin* chargeable to us. While
our opponents are practicing these auda
cious tactics, our friend* in many State* ure
beguiled by various other objects ot atten
tion. California lights out personal differ
ences. Maine contend* over sumptuary
laws. Pennsylvania spare* much of her
strength to local and minor controversies.
Ohio votes upon an amendment of her
State Constitution, while 31 r. Pendleton,
heading the hunt, lead* tlie Democrats
uguinsc the linutice* and credit of the coun
try. and the record will yet Iks quoted to
prove that almost a majority in Ohio have
voted for repudiation. While these diver
sions have etigro»-ed many, other* treating
the election* thi* year, a* of no national
Kignilicanee, have failed even to vote.
Thu* the column seem* to waver, ami the
President, and the obstructives in the South
arc spurred on. just in proportion to
•• Democratic gain*.** The State of New
York cannot afford till* condition of tiling*,
and her own voice, more than any other
voice can forbid it. The commercial, lluan-
eial Interest* of the country are all deeply
concerned In requiring at all time* tlie cn-
forccm< at of law* and the honest payment
of public and private debts. At thi* time,
when tlie Executive connive* at tlie dell-
atice of law, and when a great party i*
rapidly ranging itself on the side of repu
diation, there is but one duty for till* great
State. That duty will be done if all men
wbo cheri*h wholesome .sentiment* will
come out and expres* them by voting for
the excellent ticket you arc going to ratify.
Earnestly hoping for it* triumphant elec
tion, your obedient servant.
