CONSTITUTIONALIST.
AUGHJSTA, Q-A.
SUNDAY MORNING. JAN. 19, 1868
NEMESIS.
All the prophecies of Southern states
men concerning the aims and motives of
Northern fanaticism are having swift am
terrible fulfillment. In destroying the lib
erty of the South, the North effectually
overturned her own republican freedom;
in subjecting us to the dominion of the
sword, she is rapidly drifting under the
same fell power. The “ man on horseback”
came to the South And, AxTiLA-lLke, the very
grass withered under his war-steed’s
tramp. When he came among us, years
ago, we predicted that, having exhausted
us, his march would be Northward. Eveiy
day brings us nearer to this crisis; every
day brings the Northern people more ruth
lessly to share of the measure of calamity
meted out to us: every day of inertness
renders the task of resurrecting the heri
tage of their and our fathers more difficult
and uncertain. Verily, evil does not es
cape retribution, even beneath the stars.
The bloody planet that went down at Ap
pomattox Court House rises at Washing
ton in the sphere of malignant Mars. In
reading the subjoined appeal ofthc Nation
al [ntdlujcneer, methinks we hear the shouts
of 1801; methinks the dead hosts have risen
again from the land where they were
dreaming:
People of the North, an You Tree?
Arise and Speak!
“Freemen of the North! Know that the
clutch of usurpation is at the throat of your
Ministers of Justice; that your treacherous
servants, determined to destroy your Consti
tution, defended by your Chief Magistrate,
Pave desperately resolved upon abnegating the
legislative branch of your Government, en
trusted to their perfidious hands, and in order
to demolish all restraint of treason, are about
to destroy all the departments of government,
even their own, and lifting your liberties from
your sovereign shoulders, to lay all at the feet
of a military despot. Know, people of the
great free North, that your chains are forged ;
that the bayonets, as it were, are sharpened,
the muskets charged, the orders written,'that
are to meet out to each one of yon what liber
ty, what property, what life he shall retain.
Behold, at your firesides the apparition ol the
guard for a midnight arrest; in your places of
worship, the armed censor of your prayers;
in your fields, at your work-tables, on the
high roads, the snaky and skulking detective.
Listen ! you may hear the drum, as it drops iu
at your startled ear, the palsy that thickens
your yet free tongue. We tell you that the Su
preme Court is to be struck down, that the
equal balance of the Three Great Departments
is swaying from its equlibrium ; that the great
tripod of the Republic is to be broken up ; that
from your political temples your betrayers arc
banishing your gods, and from the genius of
your freedom are wrenching her inviolable
sceptre. That a few wretches, drunk upon ir
responsible power, loathsome with guilt,
hideous with blood, and mad with lust, may
riot in your halls of power, through the degra
dation of the South, vour liberties are to be de
stroyed, your Constitution subverted, your Re
public dissolved, and your name dishonored
among nations forever.
“ Arise, freemen, in your fiery majesty!
Consume with the lightning of your powerful
rebuke this devilish combination of perfidy and
greed. Shake off the fatal incredulity which
lays you supine in the midst of peril, and let
not the sun go down ere you have shaken the
earth with your mhjhly tread. Gather, in every
fcmrfWJU'u rtpuVrrftnvfan "‘“Co
llation. The winding sheet of your freedom is
■woven and its coffin made. Shull it die and be
buried ?”
MORE DISENCHANTMENT,
The New England volunteers, of the late
war, are getting rid of many illusions ap
pertaining to the motives of those who sent
them against the South with tire and sword.
A soldier of the Sixth Maine Regiment has
written a letter to the Madrid (Me.) Union,
in which he expresses a sense of contrition
and indignation which is destined to spread
and intensify. This veteran “ boy In blue”
says:
•' 1 have been a Republican five years. I
fought the South in arms three long years; I
marched over desolated fields and grounds do
luged with blood. I thought, as scores of
others did, that i was fighting for onr old flag
and the Constitution, but I got greatly mis
taken. I found out before the close of the
war that I was fighting to keep an army of
plunderers in power. I think they have been
kept in power a little too long for the country’s
good. It is time they were relieved. I think
there arc honest men enough to rule this na
tion. The Republicans have had a fair trial,
and they have proved incompetent. We ask them
now to stand back, just stand back, and give
place to a better class of men. This they must
do, no matter how much they dislike the idea.
I, for one, never will consent to be ruled by a
negro. The Republicans must remember that
there are in the loyal States ONE MILLION of
soldiers who will not be ruled by negroes, or
consent to sec any portion of our own white
race thus degraded ! No, never !”
As this is, probably, the prevailing opin
ion among many of his comrades in differ
ent States, Mr. Stanton will find some dif
ficulty in the way of assuming dictatorial
powers for himself or his friend Grant.
If the imperial purple is to be made a ques
tion of military arbitration, we predict that
the clarion of Hancock will bring more
warriors to the field than the tom-tom of
every tyrant from Maine to Aliaska.
Dodging the Issue. —In his “ reply ” to
Gov. Jenkins, Gen. Meade says :
“ I do tioi deem myself called upon to answer
the argument of your letter.”
It was a good tiling for the General that
he did not “ feel called.” The sword has
violated the parchment upon which Jen
kins inscribed his unanswerable justifica
tion ; but the powers of intellect crowded
into a world of Meades would have fallen
abashed before the spirit and truth of that
immortal argument.
“In Pine Spirits.”— Washington dis
patches informed the public that Mr. Stan
ton, on taking possession of his old office,
appeared in unusually flue spirits, and con
versed freely with those about him.” To
which Mr. Raymond, of the Times, retorts:
“As the same phrases have been often em
ployed in recording the last moments of
felons about to be hauged, they are neither
characteristic nor complimentary.”
Worse and Worse.— Mr. Raymond
thinks it highly probable that the Supreme
Court will declare the Reconstruction Acts
unconstitutional, even if compelled to do
so by a majority of two-thirds. He aban
dons the extremists to their fate, and avers
that the negro is powerless to help them in
the present temper of the public mind.
Sei.f-Condemned. —The Radicals, in at
tempting to muzzle the Supreme Court,
show that they are afraid of a just tribunal.
In condemning the Court, they stand sclf
poudemued before the world.
AN ARCH DECEIVER.
The article published this morning, from
the National Intelligencer, relative to the
Stanton affair, puts Gen. Grant in an
awkward position for a man of honor, and
consigns him to the sympathies of Pope as
illustrated by Gen. Franklin. If the
breach of faith thus recorded be true, Gen.
Grant has committed political, as well as
moral, suicide ; and, in affiliating openly
with Radicalism, he is not one whit behind
its false and fleeting perjuries. A stolid
silence and a strong cigar will not prove
ills innocence. Under tills crushing ex
posure of the Intelligencer's, lie must either
thunder forth denial, or, expect, in the lan
guage of Mr. Hubbard, of Connecticut, to
Lave his back broken before the people.
At the present rale of progress, the great
Yankee hero bids fair to dwindle, before the
end of the canvass, into a very smutty idol.
New England Politics.—' The Boston
Post says: “ There is a strong undertow in
the political tide in Maine, New Hampshire
and Connecticut, more noticeable Ilian in
Vermont and Rhode Island, and working
to more distinct and practical results than
it so far has in Massachusetts.”
The Post adds: “The people realize the
necessity of a complete change in politics.
The overthrow of the party in power will
therefore be a popular overthrow, if any.
There are no compromises to be tendered,
and no half concessions to be accepted. It
is life or death for the nation. We are dy
ing of a disease which there is no possible
hope of conquering except by first ridding
ourselves wholly of the cause.”
An Apt Comparison.—(Beverly Nash,
negro delegate to the South Carolina me
nagerie, thus portrays that oiled and curled
Assyrian bull, James L. Ore :
“ Governor On- is in the position that tiic old
woman said President Tyler was when he tried
to turn a somerset from the Whig to the Demo
cratic party ; left hanging upside down, with
the head down. The Conservatives try to kick
him off lrom the Conservative tree, and the
Republicans are willing to let him hang by his
heels until all his brains ruu down into his
head, and he will die of political appoplexy.”
Comment is useless. When a public man
has been brought to that pass, he is between
the devil and the deep sea.
An Honorable Man. —The Atlanta In.
telligencer publishes a string of Yankee
hating resolutions, written and read by
Parson Caldwell, in 18(38, and by him
presented to a conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. The last resolution
runs thus :
“ That under no possible circumstances
would we consent to live again under the Gov
ernment of the United States with such a peo
ple.”
In 18f38, Parson Caldwell is one of the
most Yankee-slobbering and nigger-wor
shipping members of the Bones and Banjo
Convention. If Caldwell is one of the
Lord’s anointed, the devil may as well
shut up shop and take to the conventicle.
Out of Work. —The New York World
continues to give statistic.es of the number
of workingmen out of employment. Tt re
cently stated that 50,000 wanted work in
New York city, and 10,000 in Brooklyn,
and now says that the depression in New
England throws out of work at least 100,-
000 people; 10,000 in Maine, 20,000 in New
Hampshire, 80,000 in Connecticut and
Rhode Island, and 100,000 in Massachu
setts.
Horrible.—Henry Ward Rrechkk
work upon the life of Christ with ail dili
gence.” The Richmond Whig classes
Beecher with tiiose biblical characters
who “ crucify the Lord afresh.”
This “diligent life” will, probably, ap
pear as a prize story in Bonner’s Ledger !
The Counter-Revolution.—Stanton’s
appearance at tiie War Office startled the
New York press, in spite of its enterprise.
The Herald, in a sharp leader, concludes
thus: “ From these movements in Congress
and others foreshadowed, and from all the
signs of the times, we may, we think, safel v
hazard the opinion that we are on the
threshold of the most momentous events in
the history of the United States.”
Change of Name. —The New York Ex
press, in view of the surpassing infamy of
the “ Rump,” drops that Cromwellian title
and dubs it the “ National Disgrace." The
Express thus dooms tiie “ Disgrace” afore
said : “In November next, as sure as fate,
the whole concern will lie swept out- of ex
istence, with scarcely enough of it left to
make a respectable tombstone.”
Spiritual Advice.—Bennett advises
all young geniuses, or genii, out of employ
ment to “start anew religion.” He furth
er observes that aspirants ot this character
should begin with the women and depend
upon the nibn to follow with the cash. This
counsel of Sawney’s was, no doubt, elicit
ed by Beecher’s announcement of his life
of Christ.
Just So.— Warwick, the Washington
correspondent of the Macon Telegraph, says,
with much truth : “ Let the Southern peo
ple resolutely set about the cultivation of
grain and the raising of cattle; •uul in so
doing, while securing their own prosperity,
they will strike the deadliest blow at their
Radical enemies at tiie North.”
A New Name. —The Charleston Mercury
calls the “Convention” of South Carolina
the “Great Ringed-Streaked and Striped.”
[From the Charleston Mercury.
A Carolina “Loyalist.”
F. J. Moses, Jr., a young lawyer, a na
tive of Sumter, and sou of Judge Moses.
Delegate No. 4 was private secretary to
Governor Pickens, and was in accord with
the secession furore of the Pickens admin
istration ; retains, as a momenta of the
times, the desk on which he wrote the or
der to fire on the Star of the West; survey
ed in delight, from the Governor’s head
quarters, the bombardment and reduction
of Fort Sumter by Beauregard, and alter
the fight was over, and the fort evacuated
by the brave Major Anderson and his com
mand, on Monday, F. J. Moses, Jr., claim
ed the honor, as Governor’s aid, of raising
the Palmetto flag over the ramparts, which
was duly chronicled in the gazettes of the
day. He subsequently was enrolling officer
for Williamsburg District, and then for
Edgefield District, and aided the “ rebel
lion” in every way except in the light.—
Since the war ended he lias discovered that
he was always opposed to it, and while ed
iting for some months the Sumter News, he
changed base so suddenly in favor of the
Radicals that the patrons of that paper
withdrew in disgust, and he was dismissed.
In his valedictory he declared : “ I am not
now, and never have been, a Radical, in the
common acceptation of that term,” and
was at that tube a member of the negro
Union League at Sumter, and in accord
with Whittemore, Bowen, Wright & Co.—
His speeches in the convention will no
doubt be rendered doubly brilliant by the
vivid recollections of the past, which the
“ City by the Sea ” and the crumbled walls
of old Sumter must inevitably revive; and
it ought to afford him peculiar satisfaction
to unite with his present noble associates
in voting to disfranchise Governor Pickens
and the other uubought and untainted
white men of the State.
[From the National Intelligencer.
. The Stanton Affair-
We collate from the Star and Express, of
yesterday afternoon, the description of the
retrocession of the War Department to
lion. Edwin M. Stanton. It appears that
at nine o’clock yesterday morning the then
Acting Secretary of War, General Grant,
came to the War Department as usual, and,
after arranging some papers, locked the
door of the private office of the Secretary of
War, and, taking the key with him, pro
ceeded to the headquarters of the Army,
nearly opposite to the War Department.
About half-past ten o’clock, Mr. Edwin M.
Stanton appeared at the War Department,
and proceeded immediately to the office
usually occupied by the Secretary of War.
Finding the door locked, he took a seat in
tiic ante-room, where he was the recipient
of many warm congratulations from Sena
tors and members of the House of Repre
sentatives, who had assembled apparently
to see what would take place. Mr. Stanton
appeared to be in unusually fine spirits,
and conversed freely with all around him.
Upon the arrival of Mr. Stanton General
Dent, the Acting Adjutant General of Gen
era! Grant as Secretary of War ad interim,
hurried over to the Headquarters of the
Army to inform General Grant of the fact,
and to obtain the key to the Secretary’s
office. In a few minutes he returned, and
placed the key in the hands of Adjutant
General Townsend, who, in a sort of “ pre
sent arms ” style, delivered it up to Secre
tary Stanton.
As soon as the reinstated Secretary was
fairly ensconced ill his office, the Radical
members of the Tennessee delegation in
Congress waited upon him in a body to pre
sent their congratulations, and to ask him
to use his influence to continue the opera
tions of the Freedmen’s Bureau in the
States of Tennessee and Kentucky after the
15th of February next, at which time, by
order of the President, it ceases in those
States. Mr. Stanton replied, that so long
as lie had any power, he would use it to pro
tect tiic weak, and would do his best to
have the request carried out. He further
stated that it would be a few days before
matters would commence to run right in
his office.
As the Tennessee delegation were with
drawing, they were met by General Grant
in the hall. After exchanging salutations
with them and General Howard, who was
present, and expressing satisfaction at the
action of the Senate iu restoring Mr. Stan
ton, lie walked towards the Secretary’s
office, when the latter appeared at the door
and shook the General warmly by the hand,
and both passed in.
If is understood that General Grant and
Mr. Stanton were closeted together on Mon
day evening, after the passage of the Senate
resolution.
During the interview between General
Grant and Mr. Stanton, General Dent trans
ferred his desk to General Pelouze.wlio had
occupied it during tiie latter part of Mr.
Stanton’s former administration of the. D
epartment, and General Hardie gave up his
position to General Shriver.
At half-past t wo o’clock Mr. Stanton was
locked up in his private room with several
persons, whose names were not ascertained.
At a few minutes past three o’clock an
order was Issued by Mr. Stanton, informing
the employes of the Department that lie
(Mr. S.) had again taken possession cf the
portfolio of the War Office. At four o’clock
Mr. Stanton left the War Department for
his residence, giving, in his usual way,
various orders to the messengers who have
usually attended upon his particular office
rooms, showing thereby that he had quietly
settled down for a continued stay. It is
understood that Mr. Stanton, during the
day, transacted no official business what
ever, except to draw his salary of SB,OOO for
the time he was out of office.
The statement, which we take from the
afternoon papers, of the circumstances of
the re-occupation of the War Department
by the deposed Secretary, astonished no one
more than President Johnson, who was
greatly surprised at the surrender by Gen.
Grant of the trust reposed in him as Secre
tary of War ad interim. The people of the
country will doubtless be startled at the
annunciation that Mr. Stanton lias so quiet
ly resumed possession of the War Depart
ment, and will he curious to know how it
was effected. In justification of the Presi
dent, we are at liberty to state the follow
ing additional circumstances, from which
our readers will draw their own couclu
lerfm, he hud a conversation with tiie* Pres
ideal upon the subject of the probability of
the refusal of the Senate (o recognize the
suspension of Mr. Stanton, when General
Grant stated that in such event he might
not wish to identify himself with either
party in the controversy, but added, in ef
fect : “ I shall In that event either hand you
my resignation as Acting Secretary, or let
a mandamus be issued against me to sur
render the office.”
This conversation was renewed from time
to time, and, on last Saturday, when Sena
tor Howard’s report from the Senate Com
mittee oil Military Affairs in favor of Stan
ton was under discussion, General Grant
Mas pointedly asked by tiie President if he
had changed his mind In reference to the
course he would pursue if the Senate should
refuse to make Stanton’s suspension final,
when he reiterated the promise previously
made, that he would either hand in his re
signation as Secretary of War ad interim
early enough for the President to appoint
his successor or take any other action lie
might deem requisite, oralloiy a mandamus
to be served upon him for the surrender of
the office; adding a promise to the Presi
dent, that he should hear from him on the
subject on Monday.
Monday passed without the promised
communication. On Monday evening, after
it was known that the Senate had passed
Howard’s resolutions refusing to recognize
Ihe suspension of Stanton as Secretary of
War, General Grant was present at the re
ception at the Executive Mansion, where
lie greeted the President but mentioned
nothing of any change in tiie determina
tion previously declared. The President
heard nothing whatever from General Grant
upon the subject until twelve o’clock Tues
day, two hours alter Mr. Stanton had taken
possession of the War Office, when the fol
lowing communication was delivered to
him by Major Comstock, one of General
Grant’s staff officers:

Soon after the delivery of this communi
cation General Grant called in person upon
the President during the meeting of the
Cabinet, and upon being reminded by the
President of his reiterated promise, and
especially of the promise made only on Sat
urday in or n i ug last, General Grant admitted
the promise in the presence of members of
the Cabinet. '
We content ourselves at present with a
simple statement of facts, and will reserve
all comments.

ford and J. S. Bigbee iu cogent and forcible
terms. Lost.
L. L. Stanford offered the following .amend
ment. : “ Carrying deadly concealed weapons
shall he prohibited bylaw.”
J. E. Blount spoke at some length on the
subject and in favor of the last amendment.—
He could see no other way. ot striking at the
root of the evil or prevent the carrying of con
cealed deadly weapons, lie gave some strik
ing cvidct ces of crime which had come under |
his observation, and referred to the fact of the
blacks carrying arras, and said he had always
forbidden them to do so. He bad never car
ried a deadly weapon in his file, and he would
never do so. lie thought it was the surest
evidence that a man wanted to hurt somebody
when lie carried concealed weapons, and the
man who had right and justice on Ids side, and
meant to keep the peace, had no need for them.
It was only the coward and the ruffian that car
ried arms, and such should be held amenable
to the law.
A. Alpeoria Bradley (negro) up again, said :
“ Will the gentleman allow me to ask a ques
tion ?”
J. E. Blount (coldly, and somewhat, aggrava
ted at the untiring thirst for interruption ex
hibited by Bradley,) replied : “ Yes, go on.”—
Alpeoria smiled—as much as to say, “well,
don’t get mad, because 1 don’t cave one fig
you.” J. E. Blount—“ Go on with the ques
tion quick—l’m in a hurry.”
A. Alpeoria Bradley (negro)—“ What would
you think if a judge was to give a man permis
sion to carry arms when lie knew it was in
self-defense V”
“.Put him in jail,” said the speaker ; “pul
him out ot office.” And now, said lie, very
excitedly, and pulling up his sleeves, let me
a'one; I want to unravel this whole matter ; I
want to turn it inside out and unwind it. lie
then proceeded, at great length and with great
vehemence, to dilate upon the benefits that
were likely to flow, from the adoption of the
amendment, to the country and to society ; and
he concluded by expressing a hope that the
convention would adopt it.
A. W. Holcombe said he thought it was a
most extraordinary proceeding lor ruen who
had come here to restore order and lianuonizq
all classes in the State, to make it necessary,
that every citizen in the State of Georgia should
arm himself to defend his life and protect him
self from every man he met on the road. In
stead ol giving a license to wicked and evil
disposed persons, they should do everything in
their power to restrain the passions and calm
down the prejudices of men. This was a posi
tion to which none conld object, and if, instead
ot doing this, they made lawij which fostered
crime and riot in the land, posterity would
have reason to look back to them with censure,
and the manifold outrages to which, in our
own times, they gave rise, would bring dis
grace and dissension in their midst, ft ap
peared to him as if most of the gentlemen
thought of nothing but the arming of the ne
groes, and were forgetful of the evil passions
which such a course might lead to; but, ior
himself, he could only say to them, do as be
comes men who are assembled to make import
ant laws to restrain crime. Take out of the
hands of every one the weapon by Vlncli
crimes may be committed, and, by doing t is,
they would bring down upon them the bless
ings and the respect of mankind in general.
A. ALVEOIUA BRADLEY.
U p again, spoke of the efforts of some per
sons to give the white men the privilege of go
ing up to every poor colored man they met o n
the road, taking a hold of him, and searching
him for arms. He wanted the colored man to
have the right to carry about with him a means
of defense.
T. G. Campbell, another negro, made a speech
on the quesiiou, and we do not hesitate to say
that if there was nothing iu the speech there
was at least in his actions and bearing a visible
respect for those around him.
The rules were suspended for the purpose of
taking up the amendment of A. T. Akerman,
and after counting the votes on the amendment
it was found they stood—ayes, 59 ; nays 59.
The Chairman having the deciding vote he
decided iu the affirmative, and the amendment
was declared carried.
The vote was next taken on the section as
amended. A division was called for when the
votes stood—yeas, 76 ; nays, 57, and the section
was declared carried.
V The following is the amended section :
I A well regulated militia being necessary to
me security of a tree people, the right of the
people to keep and bear arms shall not be in
fringed, but the General Assembly shall have
power to prescribe by law the manner in which
trms shall be borne by private persons.
J. E. Bryant moved that the committee of the
vliole rise, report progress, and ask leave to sit
gain. Carried.
C. 11. Prince moved that when the conven
on adjourned i;, would do so to meet again on
londay, at 10 o’clock. Lost.
A report from the Committc on Printing was
anded in and the rules suspended.
The report stated that the committee had cn-
;agod the services of three phonographic re
porters, who would probably be prepared to
inter on their duties on Monday next. The
committee recommended that reports of the
proceedings of the convention be furnished
daily to the Opinion and New Era newspapers,
hut said not one word about the Intelligencer.
This is really poor gratitude lor all our atten
tions to them. *
On motion of J. Bryant, the rules were sus
pended lor the purpose of taking up the fol
lowing resolution, offered some days ago, by
Mr. Bell, of Banks :
Resolved, That there be incorporated in the
constitution a clause requiring the General As
sembly to foster important works of_ internal
improvements, particularly the Air Line Rail
road, by aid lrom the Treasury or the credit of
State.
On motion of J. E. Bryant ,the resolution was
referred to the Committee on Corporations.
The convention then adjourned to 10, a. m.,
next day.
It is said that the wild ass “ feeds on the I
wind.” But the black asses of the Georgia
convention can’t raise the wind to feed on.

the balance of the year ; and, in fact, continued ia a very
weak and nervous condition uutil some two month ‘ sin e,
when I was put under an operation, and your Cedron
