Tri-Weekly Republican. Americus, Georgia: C 7 W. HANCOCK, Editor and Proprietor. TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1807. Editorial Brevities- Cutting it Thick.—The colored Convention at Reading, Pa., denounced Wendell Phillips ns no more fit fur office than a woman, and turned up its none at ‘-white trash” general ly. It approved of Nat. Turner’s massacre - in Southampton county, Virginia, thirty-five or six years ago, when he murdered womeu and children indiscriminately, and decreed to him, in preference to John Drown, the honor of having stiucU the first blow forlrec dom. How the Presihe.n't’s Obgan Tasks.—The National Intelligencer says : “As to the re movals of others of the military satraps, tel egraphed from this city, we have no definite information. W’e arc satisfied, however, that no man will be permitted to play the mon arch in this country with impunity. Willi theconsent ofEurope—we might say the civ ilized world—the Monroe doctrine has be come the settled policy of this country iu re spect to domains on this Continent outside of the jurisdiction of the United States; and it could hardly be supposed that in this Repub lic meu ‘dressed in a little brief authority’ will long be allowed to exercise a despotism, for which they can find no warrant even iu the unconstitutional acts of Congress, and which far exceeds iu atrocity and tyranny ia the Old World.” When registration iu New Orleans closed, the whites had about fifty majority iu the city. So great was the disfranchisement of whites, that not more than one-half the white vote of the city was registered. But we learn from the Times of the 21sUhat the revision board have “changed all that” by striking the names of about twenty-five hundred whites from the registy. It says that the cit izens thus disfranchised after registering .arc not notified that an examination as to their qualifications is to bo made, but that they nrc first advised of it by a printed slip sta ting that their names arc stricken from the list* The names thus stricken off arc exclu sively of the white race. Pastors are often perplexed for want of in. formation in reference to parties who may require attention. For instance, a member of the church is sick and remains so for a time, without any pastoral call. The first knowledge, iu about throe eases out of four, that the pastor receives of the illness of the member, will be iira form of a complaint from some outside party that he neglects the sick! There have been cases where pastors of churches suffered much inconvenience from the neglect of his parishioners to give -itiffi-information at the proper time in refer ence to cases of distress iu his charge. Kiug John. John Pope, one of the five Ameri can monarclis, and King of Georgia, Alabama and Florida, has issued his Royal Edict No. 49. Had any one predicted five years ago that a person would be clothed with authority or placed in a position to issue such an order in this country, he would have been accounted fit only for a lunatic asylum; but now so far from that, Ave are becoming accustomed to Such things, and are bowing our necks under the imperial yoke with all due submission. King John, when ho was nothing but a Major General, had his “ Head quarters in the saddle,” but now lie sits on a throne erected in Atlanta, and wields a sceptre over a vcltn em bracing what some people are simple enough to believe are “ three Staten of this UNION,” to wit: Georgia, Alabama and Florida. In those States newspapers are printed, and people, to make their business known, advertise in them ; civil officers are also in the Habit of informing through these papers, the people of the time and place of public meetings in which they are interested. The edict No. 49, from his Majesty, King John, directs that these civil officers must publish their advertisements in a certain class of newspapers —those favorable to the Congressional policy of Reconstruction, and he instructs all military officers, of whatever degree, grade, or style ol service, to see that this edict is strictly enforced, and to promptly arrest and report the sligh cst violation of it. King John has, in reality, no such power and authority. It is an assump tion of despotism which no absolute monarch iu the world, except one of the Five American Monauchs, would dare think for a moment. It would cost the Kingdom and Throne of the Mightiest ruler iu the Uni verse to attempt such an abridge ment of the PEOPLE’S RIGHTS.— How long will the American people submit to such things ? Can’t they see the inevitable tendancy of such submission ? What has become of the “spibitof ’76?” The quicker King John’s throne crumbles to the dust the better it will be for the country,— Washington Constitutional • Union. • * . . . . i Breaking Up.—The Missouri lie publican has these cheering words : The signs of a split in the Radical party are unmistakable. The Wash ington correspondent of the Anti- Slavery Standard pointed it out last April. The discords in the party manifested themselves in the July session of Congress. Thud Stevens then proclaimed in his place in the House that the probabilities were that the Radicals would lose Pennsylva nia and New York in the fall elec tions. The extreme Radicals are de nouncing the members of the Senate who have given respectability and dignity to the party, Fessenden and Sherman. The negro policy rampant in Tennessee, applauded by a portion of the Radicals as suited to the ten rebel States, is most camcstlyj’epudi. ated and denounced by another por tion of the party. And now we have the news from California that the Radical party is split there. The Radical convention at Sacramento nominated a regular ticket. This was followed by an opposition Radical convention, which nominated a “ Re publican Union” ticket, which meets support from the most influential Radical journals of San Francisco and Sacramento. This work ofdisiutegra tion must go on. A party organized on a basis of principle and measures which are against God and nature, justice and right, constitution and laws, cannot live. It must go to pieces. The good and thoughtful will leave it. The bad that remains will rend each other by their own dissensions and the country will be rid of the curse. No Negro Jurors. —A Singular .Mistake. —The Macon Telegraph of the 25th, says : ' We were pleased to learn yesterday, from a gentleman who occupies a high judicial position in the State and has recently been in communication with Gen. Pope, that a serious mistake occurred in his order regarding jurors. It was designed to decree simply that the list of jurors should be taken from the registry lists, and not from the tax books. There was no intention, we learn, to draw the names of colored, but only white citizens whose names may be on thergistry. The mistake of in serting “ without discrimination” was the work of the Adjutant. Such, at least is the explanation. Under this state of facts, what the object of the original order is we cannot exactly disern, as we believe nobody con siders it any great privilege to set on the jury; to the contrary, there is generally a scramble to avoid it. How to Cure Carbuncle. A correspondent furnishes us kindly with the following. It deserves to be noted by the Medical faculty and by those who may not be able to have able physicians at hand when in such uncommon danger : Neav Orleans, July 31st, 1867. I'Jditors Picayune —Having noticed in your morning’s issue an account of a death in Mississippi from the effects of “carbuncle,” or “carbonc,” I send you a recipe of a remedy for that dis ease, which has never been known to fail : “Prepare a round piece of linen of a sufficient size to cover the whole dis eased part, and spread thereon a slight film of storax ointment, and then a layer of bichloride of mercury (corrective sublime) of the thickness of a silver quarter dollar.” The plaster prepared thus laid with care upon the affected part, and kept in place with strips of sticking plas ter. After twenty-four hours, remove the plaster, and the carbuncle or pus tule will be found to have been des troyed. Dress the place now with storax ointment, spread upon linen, three times a day ; at every dressing fament the part with a mixtnrc of the oils of linseed, lily, camomile and hypericum. In the course of eight or ten days the eschar falls off and the sore is treated like a common one. This remedy was discovered by a French blacksmith, by the name of Dardelle, and first made public by the “Union Medicale,” a French medical journal. X. Y. /. Truth from an Unsuspected Source. —We repeat the warning to our Republican friends in all parts of the country, that the greatest danger to the success of reconstruction in the rebel States is to be apprehended from the extravagance and demagougeism of the white upstarts who are fasten ing themselves upon the neck of the negro population, and will ride them to destruction if not overthrown.” The above is from the Chicago Tri bune, an out and out Radical paper. Even the zeal of Southern renegades is nauseous to the party of progress. g«gt,Having only a short time to sell onr present stock of Goods, we will sell them at less than old time prices. S. WANELBAUM & BRO. July-23-ts. 1 From the Chronicle & Sentinel. Notes on the Situation—No. 19. BY B. U. n11.1.. In nil times of public excitement and de moralization, people are unusually liable to j run into error. For this reason, dangers to the Republic are greatlv increased, 'l'here- I loro, whoever, in such times, undertakes (lie task of advising the people with a view of . avoiding errors, ought to observe with great core certain rules. I 1. In the first place he should see to it that his motives are unselfish, and his opinions correct. 2. Next he should be charitable and for bearing to those who arc unintentionally er ring ; for in such times many good people are exceedingly piopc to err. 3. In tile last place lie should denounce most unsparingly those who consciously and deliberately advocate the dangerous wrongs, and seek (us all such do) for some selfish cud to deceive the people. Language can never he too severe when applied to men who take advantage of times of danger to tiie public, to promote tlieir private ends, or who persist in falsely advising the people. Warnings lo the erring and denunciations of the design ing can never be too distinct, too positive or too severe. Such was the course of Demos thenes toward Phillip’s emissaries, and the credulous Athenians who were inclined to believe them ; and such was the course of Cicero toward the popular Cataline, and the Roman Senate and people, who were slow to believe he was a conspirator. Two thou sand years of reflection and experience have rendered an unbroken verdict of approval for both the Athenian and the Roman ora tors. 1 have deemed it my duty to warn our people that they were, many of them, about to commit perjury or false swearing. Well, this is a very grave and responsible position. I knew it when I took the position, mid took it deliberately. If the position be wrong,! owe to myself arid the country to retract it. I could not expect to be regarded as an hon orable man, if, satisfied it is wrong. 1 did not retract it. So, on the other band, if the po sition be right the people owe it to them selves and their children to avoid- the crime, and look with suspicion upon all who insist that the crime be committed ; for no man can be either patriotic or honorable, who would knowingly commit, or advise others to commit such a crime. With these solemn convictions ami at the. instance of friends and Joes, 1 have re-exam ined the position ; I have earnestly endeav ored to make the examination carefully, and 1 know 1 have made it conscientiously. The result is, I re affirm, the position ta ken on this subject in note No. 10, and in the speech delivered at Atlauta; and 1 ear nestly beg every man to lay aside all passion, and come to au honest and candid examina tion of the question. Tn note No. 10,1 say : “Are you willing so violate the Constitu tion ! Are you willing to swear to support it, with the intent, the intent, at the time of swearing, to violate it? Then, I proclaim, posterity will proclaim, your hell-mortgaged conscience will never cease to proclaim, you are perjured.” In the Atlanta speech, the language re ported is as follows.- “Some of you who favor the acceptance of tlie Military bills take an oath to this effect, (to support the Constitution,) and still in tend to vote fora Convention which you ad mit to be ordered contrary to the Constitu tion. II i w is this? If you have a conscience I have said enough. It you vote tor the Con vention you are perjured.” 'Those announcements have excited much apparent indignation with the Radicals, and they have charged me with dealing in abuse and calumny. Now, reader, look carefully at my language. If a man is willing to vio late the Constitution, if he is willing to swear to support with the intent to violate it, is this not itself an admission ot false sweating? lie swears to support the Constitution with the intent not to support it ! So, if a man swear to support the Constitution, and intend to vote for a Convention which he admits is ordered contrary to the Constitution, is ho not guilty? True the crime is not perfected until theact is done—until the vote is given: and it is therefore I warn him not to give the vote. And why have propositions which are so self-evident awakened such indigna tion? It a man-honestly believes the Mili tary bills are Constitutional, be can vote for them. I may think bis brain is either weak or very falsely taught, hut I make no charge against Ids heart or pm pose’ So, thousands have intended to accept those bills without having thought ol this difficulty. They were, and are, simply not informed. When iuforni ed, they will reject the crime with as much horror as Ido. Against all these I bring no charge. My position is based on knowl edge and intent. Then, I repeat, why this indignation ? The answer is as plain as the truth of my position. There are many, alas ! too many, who know the Military bills are unconstitutional, and who yet have deter mined on some pretext to take the advice of that sensuous infidel, Thaddeus Stevens, vote for the bills, and “let conscience go to the devil!” It is high time this well established tiuction was understood. So far from an of ficer being protected because the courts have uot set aside certain Acts, the courts them selves could not furnish such protection positively sustaining the Acts which amend the Constitution. And such has been ex pressly and repeatedly decided to be the law in Englaud, where the Constitution is not written. It will be more emphatically the law in America where the Constitution is plainly written. Corruption for a time may prevent the application of the rule, and my feeble voice, amid this thunderstorm of pas sion, may not he heeded or heard. But storms cannot last always, and I sublimely feel and proudly proclaim, that the time will come when all the world will know that the Constitution is the only supreme ruler in America; and that neither President nor Congress, nor Courts, nor bayonets can pro tect themselves, or protect others, from ac countability lor violation of the plain, un, mistakablc commands of that Constitution.— Without this glorious truth, Constitutions and rights would always be the mere crea tures ofbad, designing men. Passion and the rabble may crucify now, but this grand deliverer of the oppressed will one day, yea, at an early day, come, and come with joy to the faithful, and terrible wrath to all wicked transgressors. They feel guilty. They have, many of them, but recently consented to be guilty) and tlieir consciences are still bleeding from the stab, and are very sore. Inform ,a good man of bis error and he will love you ; inform an honest man, and he will thank you ; but in form a guilty tnan and be will hate you.— The guilty arc always suspicious, generally excitable, and very rarely dangerous. There are some, also, who are troubled. They do uot positively know and admi t that these bills are unconstitutional, and various pretexts or I excuses are resorted to to satisfy tlieir con -1 sciences, which are«generally easily satisfied when willing to he satisfied. With such, ex cuses become reasons, and pretexts are ac cepted as arguments. Os course, all reflecting men must admit there can be no justifiable excuse for wilful perjury ; but all men are not reflecting, and it is important to notice some of the excuses offered as justifiable reasons for supporting these military bills under ail oath to support the Constitution. 1. '1 lie first great excuse offered as a rea son is, that tiie hills have not been declared unconstitutional by the courts. This excuse is well calculated to mislead. There are cases jn which certain ministerial and exec utive officers are hound to execute orders un til the courts set aside the authority on which the orders arc based. But this rule applies only to officers. Why? Because such officers simply obey orders. The re ■ sponsibility is with their superiors who is sue the orders. They are not tn judge of the legality of these orders. That was done, or piasufned to have been done, before the or ders were issued. The rule with the officers, in such case, is not to judge but to obey. J te bus no will—no discretion. This is why the rule applies only focxecutivo and ministerial officers. All other officers have a right to judge and are bound to judge honestly and decide conscientiously. Sometimes even u ministerial Dr executive officer must judge according to the issue presented or his situa tion. When a-biil is presented to the Presi dent for his approval, lie is a judge, and if lie thinks it is unconstitutional he is perjur ed if ho does not veto it—if he approve it. One, of our Presidents declared he could not. approve a bill which he believed uncon stitutional “without'eurrendering all claim the respect of honorable men—all confidence on the part of the people—all self-respect— all regard for moral and religious obliga tions.” Yet if Congress passed tlie bill not withstanding his objections, then it was not only no crime, no wrong, but his duty to ex ecute it- Why ? Because in the latter case he was only executing, and not approving or deciding. But when the courts decide such bills tube unconstitutional, then he cannot ex-c-cute it, because the power provided bv the Constitution lias decided that Congre ss erred in overruling the objections ol° the President. But this rule has a limit even in case of executive and ministerial officers. It applies to cases ol doubtful construction un der the Constitution. Congress by no vote can give vitality to an act which the Consti tution says shall not be passed. And no President can be excused for executing such an act. If every act of Congress is binding until set aside by the Court, Congress may make the most unconstitutional act the most binding by abolishing both President and Courts ; which they have exactly done, so far ns relates to the Military hills. So as to ministerial offices the rule has a limit. II the sheriff excuse a man who lias been sentenced by a judge, lie is guiltv of no crime, though the judge mistook' the law in passing the sentence. But if the sheriff exe cute a man sentenced by one who was not a judge—legally a judge—the sheriff is guilty of murder, though the man executed may have been guilty. It any officer execute a citizen by order of a Military Commissitm, such officer is guilty of murder. Why ? Be cause the Constitution gays every citizeu shall he presented or indicted by a g.- and jury, and tried by an impartial jury, and no person on this continent can confer any power to execute any.citizen who has not beeuso tried. Other wise t here would he a power greater than the Constitution, which is abwjrd. This is why the. officers who e . •'■ vrik- of the Star Chumber Courts, Und . ycd the ordsrs of King Charles I , were afterwards sued and indicted and made responsible and pun ished. No King, or Court, or Congress, or President, or other offtt 1 1 power can confer authority, in direct comiict with the positive commands of the Constitution. All who seek to confer such ant :ority are criminals; all who execute such authority are criminals, and no person cau release or forgive the crime. But the. rule referred to as binding on exec utive and ministerial offices, does not apply to citizenspr to voter-. A voter obeys no orders—executes no ot lers. Ho must exer cise hisjudgment and vote according to his own honest conviction::. If he votes contrary to Ids convictions he violates his conscience, and it he votes under r ath and contrary to that oath, lie is guilty of false swearing or perjury-. He is not sworn to support an act of Congress until the C ourts set it aside ; he is sworn to support the Constitution, and if he supports an act which, in his opinion, is contrary to the Constitution, his oath is bro ken. He being his ovn judge his oath is broken, and his “conscience given to the devil,” as Stevens advised. 2. But another pretext is, that these States are in an anomalous condition and the Con stitution does not aptey to them. Well, if the Constitution does not apply, why apply the oaUi to support it? Asa condition precedent to voting, you require an oath to support the Constitnti .m in voting ; and then, in the very next breath, ask that the vote be cast for a measure which is contrary to the Constitution! 'I hen; on seek to justify by -saying that the Constitution docs not apply. 'Then, why did you n use to allow the vole until the path was taken to support the Con stitution ? Are you wantonly exacting gra tuitous perjury ? If nothing else did, the oath make the Construlion apply. But the Constitution apply. Even if we are con quered foreign States, the conqnerer is bound by the well settled ).-ws of nations to gov ern us either according to our laws, or accor ding to his own constitutional laws; the law of the conqueror exii»- Is over the conquered. Nothing is better s -tiled. In this day of civilized law, no people, conquered other wise, are subject to be governed by arbitra ry, vindictive will, besides, by the very is sue of the fight and the terms of the surren der, we are in the Union. We are treated as in the Union by this very fragmentary conclave, for every purpose of burden or ven geance. We are denied only the privilege of the Union by a dastard perjury to the Constitution and infamous treachery to the national faith. 3. But we are told it is no use to talk law and plead the Constitution before a people whodiscaid botli. t can do no good; the Radicals have the power and will do as they please, it is said. Well, suppose that is true, does that jus tify us in committing perjury ? Are we com pelled to obey our oaths ? If. as is said, the Radicals will recont ;rnct us in our own way anyhow, 1 say let them do it their own way. Let them commit al the perjury. We gain nothing by helping tbent destroy us ; and why should we be anxious to commit perju ry, in order to help the Radicals degrade our race, destroy our St iles, and bring us under the government of ti e negro, and into a war of races? Be patient. Don’t run to over take evil. Our day will come soon, and then let us be strong, wish clear consciences. 4. But it is said, according to my argu ment, even I have committed perjury in sup porting clivers measures heretofore. .Suppose it is so; does that justify all our people in committing such a crime? But the charge is false. J never, in my life, supported any measure which I thought was unconstitution al. All statements to the contrary are false, and are but pitiable attempts of self-convict ed criminals to cover themselves with a re spectable mantle. These Military Bills furnish the very first instance in American history, in which the framers and supporters of the bills admit their unconstitutionally; and they are the very first measures in carrying out which the whole voting people are required to take an oath to support the Constitution. This is a remarkable fact. It would seem as if Congress sought to palliate their own perju, ry in passing the bills, by requiring—wan tonly requiring—the whole people, also, to commit perjury in carrying them out. When the lust Military Bill was under dis cussion, in which two departments of the Fed eral Government were being abolished,Thad deus Stcverr, I believe the authorjand repor ter of the bill, said : “Some fragments of the old shattered Con. stilution had stuck, perhaps in the kidneys of some Senators, (laughing,) mid troubl'd them at night. When they tried to progress the ghost of the past Constitution, was found in their way ami obstructed them.” People of the North, is this man tmur rep resentative? You who have listened to the glorious periods of the “Great, Expounders,” is this the language that now suits von? Think of it, oh, my countrymen ; think of it! In the. Congress of the nation, where Clay, and Webster, and Bell, and Berrien, and Fillmore and Cass have taught devotion and reverence for the Constitution, this old man now ridicules it as a ghost—a shattered thing, with its fragments sticking in the kid neys of Senators ! And this blasphemy is received with laughter ! This man had just taken an oath to support the Constitution; it was by virtue of that oath he was permitted to speak; and in the face of the nation, from tlie seat of Webster, he ridiculed what lie had sworn to support, and in every word lie uttered he syllabled perjury. This old man, we are told, Iran infidel in religion, and a paramour of a colored woman, and has lived three score years and ten, denying his race,' and blaspheming the laws of God and his country. It i.. strange that such a man, and the hid eous crew who received his blasphemy merri ly, should seek to degrade the white race; yea, make the white race degrade themselves, and make them commit perjury that they might have the privilege of degrading them selves ? Will the white race—Southern white peo ple— tiirow away conscience and 'honor and reap misceginaung anarchy only that such a crew, with such a leader, should be kept in power ? 5. But it is said it it is perjury to vote for a Convention, it is perjury to register because registry is an act under the Military Bills.- Not so. If a man registers in order to de feat the purpose of the bills, it must be very different from one who votes to carry out the bills. _ Directly opposite intentions cannot constitute the sane crime. A man may not commit pprjury who even votes for a Convention as, in his judgment, it is the best means of debating the object of the bills. Ilis intention certainly relieved hint of the turpitude of the offence. Still it is a hazard I cannot recommend. It is said the Southern people ought not to be so sensitive about violating,tlie consti tution. as they violated it in seceding from the Union. The fact is they did not think they violated it by theactof "secession. Some of the framers of the Constitution taught the right of secession. Besides all the secession conventions were very careful not to require of their members an" oath to support the Constitution of the United States. They cer tainly did not commit perjury, and did not feel that they committed aDy offence’whatev er. We arc in nn important crisis. Wo should take our positions carefully and write and speak frankly. [ sin cerely believe that every man who votes for a Conven tion, wit h a view or intent of carrying out. the purposes of the Military Dills, tramples on the Constitution and violates his oath. The more I have reflected and exam ined the subject the better I am satisfied of this truth. Our perple have woes and sorrows enough. Let them not bo led to crime also. A whole nation of perjured men ! Think of it! If there be danger that this will be so, let us in Heaven’s name, avert it before it is too late. Ijfeel prepared to sustain the position 1 have taken by au thorities, and by the best settled decisions and principles of the law. If there be a legal gentleman in the state or in the South or North, willing to fake the opposite proposition, I am prepared to enter the discussion with him in a spirit of e nfltft desire to settle the truth of the question. 1 do not wish an antagonist—and will not no tice one—who may seek only a little notoriety. But there are able legal gentlemene in the South who are said tube willing, as the best they can do, to accept these Military Dills. I affirm they cannot bo accepted in the manner, and on thp terms, and for tbe’pur ose, proposed by < ongress without false swearing, lam preparej to maintain this proposition by authority and law, or ad mit my error if convii.c-. and l am wrong. lienttsmeu who have thoughtlessly concluded to accept the terms need not think to shut their eyes and eaca po this question. It will not be hushed, i- xcitemen t.and foolish anger, and flippant threats will avail nothing You shall not perjure yourselves and the poor deluded negro race for selfish, ignoble purposes, simply to add strength to a party that would require perjury and think to easily escape the consequences. If U.ie Southern States must be africanized, and the Constitution become a ghost, and liberty for the continent be destroyed, go back to your blasphemous conclave of a Congress, and tel l them to change their bills, and permit you to do the hellish woik, at least, without perjury. If you persist in your present course, I warn you your guilt snail bo made so plain that the decent world shall scorn yourselves, and even if yon have nothing better within you, your very kidneys shall run you mad.
