D. W. NEEJ-, Ord’y. oct7"ood ALirOUN, GA., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28. 1876. CONGRATULATION AND CAU TION. Address of the National Demo cratic Committee to the I'eople of the United States. A meeting of the National Democrat ic Committee, the Chairman Mr Abr; m S. Hewitt, presiding, was held at the head-quai ters of the committee at the Everett House. Wash ngton. Nearly eve y State was represented. There were mutual congratulations over the recent elections, aud it was regarded as favorable to the success of the Deuis ocracy in November. It was resulved to carry on a general vigorous campaign in all the States. Gov Tilden called while the committee were in session, and was congratulated upon the prospects of Democratic victory.— It was decided to issue the following ad dress : To the Pooqle of the United States : Fellow Cit zens : We congratu late you as patriots, as partakers with us in the common destiny of American freemen, upon the results of the Octo ber State elections. We rejoin in the victory which the people’s ballots have bestowed upon the frieuds of reform in the valley of the Ohio, where the Re publican hosts had au overwhelming as cendency iu every Presidential election since 1856. We rejoin in the assurance these elections convey that your ballots will bestow decisive majorities to the allied forces ol Democracy and reform in the November election throughout the Union. But we rejoice not as par. tisans; we rejoice with you as fellow citizens. And wheu the decision of this week of one million voters along the val'ey of the Ohio shall be ratified next mouth by the fiat of eight million voters throughout the whole republic, we shall still rejoice,chiefly for the reason that not one of its citizens can miss of au equal share with us who are Demo crats in the political peace aud good wil> which will then and there be esta/ bushed among ail sections, races, classes and conditions of men,and in the pros* perityot which political peace, bused on equal rightsaud Iraterual good will,is the first condition. OONCENTRATIO i OF ADMINISTRATION INFLUENCE. Upon the three States of West A ir giuia, Ohio and Indiana were concen trated all the influence of the adminis tra lou, all their eflorts and all the vanA sums of uiotiey forced from the lUO,- 000 office holders of tne party m pow er. These were fearful odds, uot again to be contented against so emicentiated, fur in the November elections the contest will be in every one of the thirty-eight States upon the same day. Nevertheless, against these odds the Democrats and reformers of West Vir ginia and Indiana have been Victoria's and in Ohio they have all but res cued a State hiMiero deemed hopeless and have created an assurance of victo iv in November. If it falls to our lot as a National Democratic Committee to congratulate the people of the Union upon this vic tory in the first battle of the reform campaign it is only because Democrats have been honored to be leaders of the people iu the work of national genera tion. The victory won, the victory still to be won, will be a dcliverauee as much to the Republicans as to the Deun erats. THE DAWN OF A BETTER DAY- The patriotic masses of the Republi can party may be thankful that the misdeeds of their unworthy leader have been rebuked and are to be arrested.- Vhe suffering whites of the South may lift up their heads to greet the dawn of a better day lor them as well as the nation at large. The colored citizens may share the general joy that he will soon cease to be the stocked*the trade of corrupt politicians, hut shall enjoy his rightful liberties and his equali ty before the law amid universal good will. As for the Ref rm Democracy, to whose standaids victory have been tied, with ali the garlands on,it only remains for them to welcome every ally, every fiend close up to the ranks and press on, shoulders to sholders, under the banner and with the one watchword,Re form. WIIAT WE HAVE BEEN DEPRIVED OF. Fellow citizens.peace between all sec tions. prosperity in all our homes—of these yon have been for years deprived by the mistaken solicitude of patriotic Republicans, played upon the selfish aud corrupt leaders, who have kept fan. nin<r the dyiag embers of civil strife in order to escape inspec c tion of the trusts which they have betray ed. F:>r eleven years vou have had the name of peace. At no time have you had the substance of peace. In lieu thereof vou have had the grinding tax ation and wasteful expenditure of war. Just before every election you have had the preaching of anew crusade against a section utterly .tefeated in war and anxious only to be completely reconc 1 ed n peace. For eleven years the power of the men who have seized away the control of their party from the hands of its statesmen and founders has been su preme in almost every department ol the. Federal Government. Discarding the hope of prolonging their domination )?y |)enetieent public ‘ Truth Conquers All Things.” measures, they have created and traffick ed upon public calamities. The policy they adopted has been worked ont. Its failure has been absolute. WIIAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY PROM ISE AND PROFESS. In place of past, performance* these same corruot and selfish leaders now proffer promises already broken as their titles to further trust. Having protrasted our manifold in* dustries by the vast aggregates and the worst method of Federal taxation, they now again solicit your confidence as the instruments of retrenchment and re form. tlaviag debauched the public service, and have just hos in"tft’c fate of open day, assessed their army of 1,000.000 office holders—the people*.* servants — paid by the people’s if order t■> create lmiaeuse corruption i.auds to fiustrate the people’s taxes — in order to crea'e immense corruption funds to frustrate tne people’s will, they now profess to be the champions of civil service reform* Having imposed upon the Southern State* the rapacity fraud and plu der of the carpet-bag gove r nments ; having almost ruiued the prosperity of the North by destroying the prosperity of the South; having created terror, uncer tainty, and confusion in all the produce tive industries of the South, which fur nish most of the exports for our whole country keep in motion the commerce and manufactories of the North and East, aud furnish a market for the agri cultural products of the West, they now propose, by tenewel of the same fatal poliey, to prolong their own power in the hope of concealing their misdeeds, and for this purpose they do not hesi tate to renew the cry of intolerance; to revive the dying memories of frater* na! strife, und to appeal to the fears and prejudice ot the timid aud the ig no rant. WILL FEOFLE TRUST THEM AGaIN ? Fellow-citizens, these men and their measures liavo been completely tried and hav* completely failed. An oppres sive taxation, an exhausted South, an impoverished North, a fluctuating cur. rency, the enterprise of an industrious people lucked fast ip the paralysis of hard times—such is the outcome of their political policy, such are the achievements of their long supremacy. Your oallots in November can alone dictate a change ot men. Shall not the uprising ot patriotism along the valley of the Ohio go cn to a complete and beneficial revolution in the administra tion of the Gowniment of the United States ’( ■*V\ ill you not, by the voice of over* whelming majorities at the polls, pro claim your invincible faith a fur ali these years of corruption and passion, m the high immortal principals ot gov eminent by the people lor tile people, ; n Simple honest and strict economy os the supreme wisdom of public policy, in justice as the mother of power and in simple freedom as the be-all and L e end-all of a true Republican nationali ty? . \\ ill you rot build up anew prosper ity for ali the people on the old founda tions of American self-government, on peace, reconciliation and fraternity be twe n all sections, all classes and all races embiaced within our system of American commonwealth ; on frugality and economy in all govcruient; cn lion esty and administration. and having lost you- prospe tty through govefmeq al reform ? We commit this great is * sue in the intelligence and conscience <>f the American people, with an unfalter me trust in the wisdom aud justice of their decisn n. By order of the National Democratic Committee. Abram S. Hewitt, Chairman. Frederick 0. Prince, Secretary. New York, October 13, 387 G - >- To Malic Cows Give Milk. A writer who says lis cow gives all the milk that is needed in a family of eight persons, from which he made two hundred and sixty pounds of butter in the year gives the following as the treatment- be says : ‘Tfyou desire to get a large yield of rich milk, give your cow three tines a day water slightly warm, slightly salted iu which bran has been stirred at the rate of one quart to two gallons of wa ter. You will find it, if ycu have not found this by daily practice, that your cow will gain twenty-cent immediately under the effect of it! She will be come so a:tached to the diet as to refuse to drink cle*r water unless very thirsty, but this mess she will eat almost any time and ask for more. The amount of this is an ordinary water pail full each time, morning noon and night. Your animal will then do her best at discounting the lacteal. Four hundred pounds of butter is often obtained from good stock, and instances are mentioned where the yield was even at a higher figure.” Gen. MeCelh n has stated th-: whole Southern case in the words: iut a stop to the meddling interference of cor rupt gov erument “fficials, and it wiil soon appear that the negroes will divide themselves between the two parties, and that the danger of a condict of races has disappeared.” “Sal,” said a girl, looking out of the upper-story window of a milk shop and accessing another girl who was Hying to get in at the front door ‘we’ve all beeD to a meeting and beep pogygrted ; so when you utilk on Sundays you will have to puoi£ iu the back way. Judge Maekaj's Address. At the close of Mr. Goodwin’s-address Judge Thomas J. Mackay, Judge of the Circuit Court of South Carolina, and who until lately has acted with the Re publican party, was then introduced. He met with a very warm reception. After speaking at g’reat lengih on the the past and present condition of South Carolina, he said that the people of his State were determined to throw off the yoke which they had borne for the past seven years. (Cheeis.) “W e are car rying the flag of the Union,and consid er ourselves good and loyal American citizens; (Cheers) We mean to stand firm in our effort to irce ourselves from the abuses upon us by coi rupt rule, but we mean to accouiplsh this by the ballot and not by the sword. (Cheers.) Since the close of the war we have greatly suffered from tho present pernicious government. At that time the population ot South Ca r olina was 700.000 composed of about 400.000 blacks and 276,000 whites. In July, 1868,the debt of the State was $5,000’ 000, and in six years it was increased to $20,000,000. The puolic printing airing one year cost $300,000. Ihe most taxable property did not amount to over $139,000,000. from which the Republicans extracted $2,000,000 year ly. All the work of the Legislature could be completed in thirty days, but the session is extended over one hun dred days costing each year $612,000 The system of taxation in the State amounted to nothing short of confisca tion of property. (“Shame.”) Colum bia, the capita! of the State has a tax of five and a half per cent, while the bank rate of interest is from 18 to SO per cent,, owing to the great risk of making any kind of investment. W e ea; not.draw capital Loin the great North in exchange for the products of the State, now wasting for the want of a proper market. There are out of It),- 000,000 acres of arable land only 3,000, 000 acres under cu tivafion, owing to the high rate of interest and vicious system of government. The only class of persons who have done well in South Carolina are the carpet-baggers and the office®holders-*-the latter grow richer as the government grows more coirupt (laughter) aud are likely to do so until they are wiped out. at the coming eleo* tion. (Applause) The sp aker then referred to the nomination of Gen Wade Hampton f or Governer of South Caro, lion, who, he said, was free from polit ical taint, as were the other Democratic candidates for office. They Mitend and to do their duty, and had dared to face their Republican enemies, even in spite of the Vayorct. (Cheers ) —New York Herald. General Hampton’* Advice and Ilolsc to the Colored People. “C- McK.” the intelligent and aito gether reliable co. respodiuit of’ the News and Courier, reports General Hamp too's speech at Edgefield on the 18th .in full. It is an able, calm, conserva tive. patriotic speech, and will be in scribed on the tombstone of South Can. uiina if the fates wi'l that she perish in this great struggle for redemption and liberty. We extract the following reo uiaiks addrssed tf the colored voters: “Aft.ev reviewing the assertion, made by Governer Chamberlain that the ne gioe were indtdited to the Republican party for their freedom, which he dis proved by the Let that there were as many Democrats as Republicans in tbe Federal army during the late war, the speaker appealed to the colored men to nd themselves of the shackles of party; to hear Doth sides and then vole as God and theij conscience dictated. In re sponce to his inquiry. Docs not your oath as members of the Union League require you to vote for honest men!'' his cohired hearers shouted in concert, 1 General, we’re gwine to vote for you.” lie continued t They tell you that if the Democratic party gets into power that your rights from jou. Now. my friends, those rights are secured to you by the Const? tutio’n and laws of the United States and of this State. They are irrevocbly fixed as is the sun i n the heaven-. We don’t want to take your rights Srom you and could no. if we wanted to, I tall you now, in the name of the Democratic par ty and of the gentlemen associated with me upon its ticket that if we are elec ted not a single right which the col ored people of Sou*j Carolina now pos sess .-hall be interfered with. Igo fur ther ; If 1 am elected G >verner n( this State, aud the Legislature should undertako to take away any of your righ's, I WOULD INSTANTLY RESIGN. The party is pledged to that, and I would raiher see it go down to ever lasting defeat than have it break those sole mn pledges. I would give you an other instance of my since fity. [Tbp speaker then refferred t> his speech de~ livered in Columbia, in which he advo cated the right of euffenge in behalf of the colore j man before Congress had moved in the matter, and while Morton end Andre v were opposing its bestowal.] \\ o ask you t > come with us. Our platform is broad enough for every man. white or black to stand up ou. We tell you your intere ts are ours ; that if the white men of the South go down your race will go. down with them—you will pass out of existence as the Indian has done. Now is th time to save the State. If we don’t save ic upw, we peypr pap A mag bp a Republican, and a pippibar of the Union Leage, and yet vole for this ticket with consistency. When Judge ia Advance. Carpenter was nominated for Governor I voted for him. I did not want to vote for a Kepudlican or n carpet-bag ger, but he said ho, was a Reformer,and i and the white Democrats sustained him. We voted also for Green, but in spite of our assistance and the votes of the honest colored men they were de*. leated. We have giveu them three trials, and now laving nominated a ticket composed of honest men we ap peal to vou to come.whether as Repub licans ov Democrats, and vote for them We have already got colored men enough enrolled to CARRY TIiE STATE. The speaker then referred to the con - dition of the colored men in Georgia, and told of the kdvantagas they enjoy • ed in [the matter of prosperity and schools Ho said that the State had first gone Democratic by only a small majority, but that it had yearly increased. It is so in every Southern State which has gone [Democratic. There the colored men are protected and live in harmony. I tell you, in all solemnity,that you will never have peaee as loni' as you keep the carpet-baggers in power. It is to their interest to keep the races separate and what protection can they give you ? Ohaoib-rluin runs off at the first flash of every gun. When 1 promise you I promise it in the name of every white man in the State, and you will have it. 13H. The above figures represent the nu r.* her of electoral votes c st b* 7 the “solid South.’" The “solid South’* consist of Alabama with 10 votes; Arkansas with G votes; Delaware with 3 votes; FLr*. ■da, with 4 votes; Georgia pvith 11 votes ; Kentucky, with 12 votes ; Louisiana with 8 voles ; Maryland witn 8 votes; Missouri, with 13 votes; North Carolina, with Id votes; South Carolina, with 7 votes ; Tennessee, with 12 votes ; Texas, with 8 vo.es ; Airgin ia with 11 votes; and West Virginia, with 5 votes —sixteen Stales, with a to tal of 138 votes. The Republicans vir tually concede ihat Gov. Tildeu will receive the support of the “solid Souili.'* Possibly he may loose South Carolina, with its 7 votes, though we doubt it. But for the purposes of this article we will concede what the Repub-. licans concede—that Tildeu will re ceive the vote of the “ solid South.” If he does this it will 0e no trick to elect him. There are in the electoral or. Ilege 369 votes —a majority is 185 Giving Mr Tllden the 138 votes cast by the “ solid South,” he requires then only 47 votes to insure his election. Now we believe there is no doubt but that New York will go Democratic and cast its 35 votes for its honored Governor. The reports received by the Democratic State Committee of New York are of the most encouraging char acter. The statement brought in bv speakers, and contained in the letters received from all sections, are better than the reports received in 1874,when Tilde was elected by over 50,000 ma jority. Those who have charge of the canvass are confident that the majority lor Tildcn and Robinson will be greater than was the former’s majority two years ago, and that the State will go Democratic regardless of the result in the October States. The reports o r s men have always been Republican joining Tildcn aid Hendricks clubs still cotricue to be received, with the names of the men who have thus chang ed 1 here is hardlv a town heard from that does not furnish several changes of this kind, and in some instances they number fy the hundreds. Conceding New York then to Til den li3 requires only 12 more votes to fe elected. Where are they to come from. 1 here is California, with G votes ; Coonecticu*, with G votes; Illinois with 21 votes; Indiana, with 15 votes’- Ne vada, with 3 v< tes : New Jersey with 9 votes; Ohio, with 22 votes ; Oregon with 3 votes ; and Wisconsin, with 10 votes—-nine States, with 05 vo'es —a majority el which undot most circum* stances, are reliably Democratic. Would any one he bo'd enough to bet that Tildeu would not receive 12 votes out of these 95 ? Certainly not. The Republican party may well feel alarmed at the attitude of the “solid Sou'll,” for conceding that to the Rem neraev they virtually concede the elec tion of Samuel J. Tildcn.

The Solid South. The last stalking horse bestrode by :i spectre to frighten those non-combat ants in war, who have bec.mie doughty warriors in peace, h the Solid South.— It has no terrors for us. We hail with joy the indications of a united tront in the South. It is mere than time the carnival of Republican crime in the Southern States should be brought to an end. Plunder should have its tip petite stinted. Misgovernment bus long enough run riot. It must be stop-' ped. There is and can be no new rebellion. That peril is past forever. What is wen for human rights will never atrain be ti,e trophy of the sword. The cla-" riun blast may he blown by ill : brass trumpets of agitation, hut the agitators are weak in numbers, and wickel ns they are in purpose, they are ;ow rles.s for evil. When aggre siv' tyranny sought to enslave our continent, the colonies be came solid. With our strong bio and op pression may always be sure of re ist a nee among us. The solid array of the Sou'll is not of aggression. It asks simply for the boon of self-government ruder the Constitution and the laws ; and it has a right to demand this. To the emancipated negro the ball t was given to hold those States to the Rerublican party; and for a time he was the innocent party agent of men who hud no ambition but that of unliua ited powei. The confiding black was to be the owner of plantations in lee simple, with mules and horses in un questioned posssession. llis credulity was led with promise but no perform' ance. The Solid South means only, then, Glut this phantasmagoria has ’’in - ished fr m the sight. 'The negro turns from the adveuturer and clout, and heeding no intimmidatbo, changes his vete. The Solid South proclaims that the intimidation of bayonets must cease, a.id the sabre be return, and to its scab bard. llow lung, we ask, is the ballot to be asked to the tread of armed men and the roll of the drum '! We yen. ture the prediction that after we ha\ , finished celebrating the glory of ,cho century just ended, and sounding the march of that just begun, the presence of military uniforms will not he suiL. ' to profane the casting of oiir sufi:aa„s. Look at teoutfi Caroli a, with the ?• ,-j.*> of the soldier over a soil black with the cindeis o, war. It is the carnat l c • ilyder Alt as depicted in the so . 7 rhetoric of Burke. What open w • spared, Ine civil bandit has gathered it; toe sweep of ui,-> despoiling. Louisiana, too, has been.overran by the besom of tkw. destruction. Tifj coast from Baton Rouge to New Or leans, an laden of beauty and fertilify, is utterly wasted. 'J he tenure of prop erty and the tenure of life arealike un. ceitairi there, and the State Government has put her devastated acres in mort gage for a debt which she canot pay. Mississippi, also, is the camping ground of the Goth and the Hun. The hot ploughshares of peace have cut deeper furrows than those of war. Nor is the list complete without Alabama, Georgia and Florida. Georgia, with Bullock, its vena! Gov ernor and its purchased Legislature and Judiciary, wrs loaded with a debt whose only payment was by repudiation : and it may be remembered, as exem plifying the Divine Justice, that the Northern agency of subsidy and bribes are e?ch and ail in financial ruin.— \\ hy/ asks one of Grant’s Senators, “ d O6B Georgia give a majority of 80,000 against us? Simply because in the i lghtecs law of tne universe, after t’m* wrong comes the reaction, and payment have a Solid South, and have it now.
