Bayonets to Control the Elections.
Orders have been issued from the
-.'or Department for a distribution of
troops throughout Southern States, and
even peaceful Georgia is to be included.
The Radical party, steeping in rotten
ness and dying of its stench, seize this
ns a last method by which they hope to
continue in power. “ Outrages ” are
manufactured to order and reported to
headquarters. The vilest leaders of
he Radical party circulate lies, and
irant, ever ready to pamper to the
wishes of a depraved constituency is
sues his orders for troops to be sent
South that “ life and property and the
rights of the people ” may be protect
ed. All this is done to prejudice and
embitter the mind of the Northern vo
ter, against the South, that sympathy
f t the negro may cause them to cast
their votes for the Radical party. The
true policy for the Southern people to
pursue is to remain calm but deliberate
—make one pull iu the coming cam
paign that will establish Democracy,
the only hope for deliverance.

Democratic party in this State, aud will
do all in our power to retain that par
ty in the State Government, in all its
branches —that we will support its or
ganization and, with all our might en
deavor to advance its principles, believ
ing that the overthrow of these pinci
ples will result in tho final overthrow of
tho rights and liberties of the people of
this country.
That the defeat of the proposed Civ
il Rights Bill, and all kindred meas
ures, by which the degradation of the
people of the South is sought, demands
the most watchful vigilance and united
efforts of the party.
That retrenchment in the expenses of
tho Government, a fostering of the agri
cultural, manufacturing and commer
cial interests of the State, are objects
which demand the best endeavors of
the party.

ernment and of the true rights and in
terest of the people, to unite with us in
carrying out these purposes.
