But you reply, that by voting down
a convention, you viii hold the cues

what the New York Day Book or Met

no party at the North, and live on the
South by pandering TO the passions and
prejudices OF the people"

Q
The Macon (Ga.) Messenger expires
ses its opinion Of the Democratic party
as follows:
! Since the war Northern Democrat
! ic Journals have continually fed us on
/ the false hope that the Democracy, il
] conjunction with President Johnson
1 would give Us our rights, ifHeed be with
! the baYonet. Witness the more ultra
/ Democratic journals the Day Book, Me
/ tropoltan Record, Freeman's Journal
and Daily News, and the more moder-
/ ate journal, the New York World.
"Out on such frieuds'-friends who
/ encourage US to get into trouble, and
/ then whip US for doing what they told
+ US to do.
| Senator Sherman declares that if the
/ Southern people complained that the mil
/ ilarv act was harsh, they. had their North
/ ern Democratic friends to thank for j
since they had voted down an amend
ment which was quite a mitigation o
| the severity of the original bill.
! This is so and we have a good many
other things to thank our Northern
/ Democratic friends for. We have tC
thank tbem that they encouraged us tc
secede, and then W lipped as for doing
! so. We have to thank them that since
/ the cessation of the war they have agaiT
/ fed us upon false hopes. We have tt
thank them for keeping up the eXasper-
alton of the Northern people against us
The Griffin 5a.) Union, thoroughly
I loyal paper, publishes a speech of Elk
Gov. Browns advocating compliance
with the military bill and says Of Brown
and his speech:
His past record is very bad in our es
/ timatiOn. But
EWhiIst the lamp holds out to burn
The vilest sinner may return, "
and if Joe Brown has been wrong al
his life, he ought to have credit for get
ting right now, and that he is on the righ
track now we have no shadow of doubt
The advice he gives the people in hi
| speech is Just what they ought to adOp
| and carry out. There is no man so VilJ
/ but what he can tell the truth some
! times: and this is one of the times tina
/ Joe Brown tells the truth. Some say
/ they viii not believe him for the reason
| thew have no confidence in him bu
/ confidence in Joe Brown is not what w
! are after. We want the people to know
and understand the truth; and the tr1tl
! is truth. even if it does come from JO'
! Brown. Men should never suffer theil
/ prejudices to get the better of thei
/ judgments; and if any reject truth be
| cause Joe. Brown tells it, the cOnse
/ quences of error viii surely Overtak'
4 them.
