other- 1.0 do so. Some of you who favor the ae
e plane-,' of the military bills take an oath to
this ib'i!, and still intend to vote fora eonven

tin (Mn.-iitution. How is tbi-V If you have a
con-ricm I have said enough. If you vote for
a convention you are perjured. * *
I shall never get done shuddering, and horrors
will nev» i eease to rise up in my mind, when I
see men taking an oath to support the Constitu
tion, aml then legislating to put in force mea
sure which arc outside of it.”
Our individual opinion of these laws has no
thing to do with Hie question. The law making
power Jui: made. them, and the Supreme Court
fm- not derided that they are unconstitutional,
and hence they are in force, and every citizen
of the I sited States is under obligations to obey
them. The doctrine here set up by Mr. Hill,
that each Hum’s judgment and conscience must
control him as to obeying or disobeying a law,
independent of judicial decision, would unsettle
all law, destroy all government, and end in an
archy ! Yet, simh ia the teaching of this super
latively couseientious (?) new light in political
ethics. Would any sensible man, aspiring to
po.-itioii and assuming to lead public opinion,
ever give it iterance to such ridiculous asser

Conservatives Attempt to Break

RADICALS ARE TRIUMPHANT !
Macon, Ga., July 20, 1867.
f.MHt evening tliu Union Republican
Club of this city, of which Mr. Floyd
is President, met in their hall, for the
purpose of transacting business and
reading such public documents and
newspaper articles as would inform
the members of their political condi
tion, and what were their duties, &r.
A few hours before the meeting,
several white fellows were seen clean
ing their pistols and rubbing their
bowie-knives, &c., no one apprehend
ing that they wore bent on miseh es
until nearly night, when it leaked out
that a white mob was collecting to
break up the Union Republican Club.
This news ran like lightning through
the city, and in a short time every
member of the Club was apprized of
the fact. Such a rush for pistols, shot
guns, &c., among the colored men, and
a few white members, was never wit
nessed before in M aeon.
When the time arrived for the meet
ing to commence, both the hall and the
yard around the door was full. The
business went on uninterrupted until
near ten o’clock. They then learned
that some twenty-five of the white
mobbers wi re on the corner of a street
just below the hall, and that occasion
ally they would send a squad of four
or five to the hall to reconnoitre, and
learn the force of the Club boys. Once
they tried to go in, but were immedi
ately informed that President John
son would not dare to enter that hall
unless lie subscribed to the principles
of the Republican party. They saun
tered around, talked and whispered,
and filially retired to the main force,*
and informed them that the Club boys
were well fortified, and if they were
captured at all it would be after the
streets of Macon had run red with the
hearts’ blood of a host of men. Tin v
retired for the night , probably to rein
force themselves for the next meeting
of the Club. They are welcome to do
this, as the Club is prepared to dance
to till their music. T. M. 11.
Con: Mims, Ga., July 20, !,-07.
Mi:. Koi ton; The following article
some kind friend clipped from soma
Rebel paper and sent me:
G. W. Ashburn.
We see this name among tlic Vice-Presi
dents of the negro-Ifculiciii Convention lu-M
in Atlanta on the lthinst.. Many are euriou
to ascertain whether this is the Ashburn that
was a beneficiary ill Mercer University about
the year lMd, and was expelled from Col
lege for writing scurrilous letters to the
Faculty, and silenced from preaching for tin
same, and was subsequently expelled from
the Church for preaching without license,
and for erasing from his letter of dismission
“license withheld.”
Now if this be the same Ashburn, his color
ed brethren are warned, that lie is unworthy
of their confidence. Having forfeited the
confidence most sacredly reposed in him bv
his white brethren, the colored citizens had
l'vtlrv beware. We learn that there wa ..
(t. W. Ashburn some years ago, an overseer
of negroes in Upson county, Ga.; we won
der if this was the same ? ’This U. W. Ash
burn was so cruel to the jtoor slaves even the
hardest masters could not endure him. lie.
though of Southern birth, exceeded the most
blood-thirsty Yankee overseer in the country.
Now we say to the freedmen, if this Yiev
l’resident Ashburn is tin' Upson county over
seer Ashburn, you had I hi ter keep yourselves
out of his power, unless he is greatly im
proved, and we don’t think that the'limes
has improved the morals and especially if.*
temper of but few. A word to the wise is
sufficient.— Conngton (Ga.) Jiatutiner.
You will please allow me to say,
that I feel grateful to my Maker for
enabling me to so demean myself, as
to have no .net of my own to defend.
Now , as ever, I am attacking error I
w herever found. I was a student at
I’enfield, in the years of 1841—’42 and
M3, I think. During my stay there, I
committed no act for which I have
cause to regret. The part I took in
| furnishing the evidence which lead to
the removal from a professorship of a i
man unfit for the position, was as com-!
mend able as our effort was successful. |
As for any criminality in the matter, I
I refer you to Rev. S. Landrum, now ;
! pastor of a Baptist Church at Suvan
| mill, and Rev. J. M. Wood in North
ern Georgia. Whatever the reverend
gentlemen may say, concerning my
crime in the matter, I will accept as
being true.
True, my friends made an honest
effort to crowd me into the Ministry,
but I never felt myself fit for so holv
so pure, and so responsible a position,
and I think time has proved my ideas
of holy callings correct, for there were
but few men belonging to the Ministry
in Georgia who did not forget their
sacred obligations during the late war.
There are but few men in this wicked
world who are holy enough to discharge
the duties of the Ministry—l am not,
and I regret the facts. lam sorry the
class who are is so small.
There were six Ashburns known to
myself in Georgia, three of whom
where overseers, (so-called) but your
philippic gives the first notice of
their cruelty to those whom they
directed. One of the six was a Bap
tist preacher, a Missionary to the
Indians, sent, (1 think) by the Govern
ment of the United States. One was
an overseer for a Baptist preacher,
and married his daughter. Two were
murdered by your Rebel friends, be
cause they refused to he conscripted
to fight a government that you and
they had sworn to support. 1 tint the
only one of the old stock living. I
have two sons, one aG. P. Ashburn ;
and he and I feel very kindly towards j
the colored people, think well of them. ;
They cared for us, and administered
to our wants while in your Rebel jails,
and lie, 1 and millions of other good
men do not intend you or yours shall
deprive them of their political rights.
I was not at Atlanta on the 4th day ;
of July. 1!' I had been, perhaps I j
would have been a Vice-President. 1 |
spoke at this city, Columbus, on the ;
4th, to fifteen thousand white and j
black citizens, a notice of which you j
may see in the Columbus daily En- 1
quirt rof the (itli ::r-t. You will find*
as correct a report, and the character
of the meeting, : - it is possible for an
enemy to give. Get the paper and!
read it. It will do you good, and yon j
will then be better posted, and perhaps, |
wiser. Read the Loyal Georgian, j
and you will 1 e:irn more of G. W. !
Ashburn. It is a daily, and you may !
get much valuable information for :
your Weekly sin et. Its editorials are J
true, and written by a gentleman, and I
soldier in defense oi the rights of man.
If you will sen.! me your paper, and
publish the articles, I shall write. I
will give you a full account of myself
and family, abo of Jos. E. Brown,
Robert Toombs, Cobb A Go., do thus,
and I am sure in six months you will
be a Radical, and sewear to support
all they have done, or ever will do.
Very Respectfully,

It was thought by some that we had better
get the Parker & Watson Series, which is the
most used in the Schools, simply because some
had got it, for the sake of uniformity ; but my
recommendation prevailed. One gentleman
present, who had used both, stated that he had
used the other as long as he cared to, and con
sidered the Willson Beries a# far superior,
giving an example of the difference of time
required in teaching anew pupil, the prefe
rence being decidedly in favor of the latter
series. So we, starting this new movement,
have decided to get the best book extant, so far
as we know them.

44 The peculiar characteristic of this Series
lies in the fact that they aim to impart, as far
as possible useful information. For this pur
pose they contain a series of articles on vari
ous subjects of science and history, graded to
tiie capacity of different pupils, and so arranged
that when the live volumes have been care
fully read, the student, in addition to a know
ledge. of reading, will have acquired a conside
rable knowledge in many departments of
study, such as will lay the foundation for more
complete instruction afterward.’’
They are therefore peculiarly adapted to the
pressing needs and quick perceptive# of the
colored children. Each book is profusely and
handsomely illustrated, and the illustrations
ere all intended to render the comprehension
ot the reading matter more easy. The follow
ing testimonials have been selected from a
large mass of a similar nature :

Dear Sir —I have been familiar with the
Readers from their first publication, and tun
free to say to you, as I have uniformly said to
teachers, superintendents, and others, that,
all things considered, 1 regard them as the
best Series before the public. The leading
peculiar feature of this Series was a happy in
spiration of the author, and the execution of
the plan so well done as scarcely to admit of
improvement. Mr. Willson’s style of compo
sitiou in the lower numbers of the Series, and
something ot his plan in the higher numbers,
have been imitated by some later writers of
school readers with decided advantage to their
works. Hence Mr. Willson has not only made
a peerless Series of his own, but has elevated
the general standard of such works. When
ever my choice lias not been constrained by
circumstances, I have always used this Series
both in the* white and colored schools with
which I have been in any way connected.
Yours, truly, K. M. Manly,
Superintendent Education.
