DEMO cRACY - NOT DBFUNcT--BT-
WARE OF FALSE FRIENDS.

Southern journalists who imagine the
National Democracy defunct, are either
fools or knaves. But for the baStara
vote of the country Grant was defeated.
He was not the choice Of the majority
Of the white men OF America, at the
time of his fraudulent election, and to-
day he is a million in the minority.
TfDemocracy is true to herself and
the country, Radicalism is doomed, and
as the State elections come, one after
the other, the dirty tribe Of half-made
men who have foated to the surface in
the boiling flood of revolution, will go
under. They are already casting haw-
scrs to the Democracy, and crying out
to our lifc-boats for help. For one, we
cay Jet them sink-they are pirates all,
and ask for quarters only to strike when
confidence lulls suspicion of danger.
At the North, there may be honest
Republicans, at the South NONE. The
poor negro it is true, may be deluded
into conscientious convictions that Rad
icqIism is right, but there is not, in this
broad land, one solitary white man who
does not know that he breaches false
hood when he breaches radicalism as a
principle, and its dogmas as truths.
At the North the party is held togcth
er by the cohesive power Of public
spoiIs, and the centripctal force of the
National debt; at the South, by igno-
rance and the hope of a chance to steal.
There is not a white man, or an intelli-
gent negro, belonging to the party in
Georgia, hose expectations fall short Of
dishonest gains. Brown, Farrow, Nc
Kay, Bullock, Blodgett, Blount, Byrant,
Bard, Burnett, Swayze and Turner, are
all on the same line and their game is
plumber. The "Forty Thieves" would
have blushcd at companionship with
such insatiato Williams, and resigned the
Sesan1a to the officers of the law.
Nevertheless, some of our Georgia ex'
changes desire us to crawfsh step or
two and shake hands with these Shiny
snakes. Good Cod what an atrocious
invitation Are we to be insulted with
imphnity by members of our own house
hold! Away with all such councillors!
Mark them, people Of Georgia! When
you were on the watch, and vigilant,
these creatures did not dare to present
their skeletons for your embrace; now
that you are in comparative rcpose, and
dream that good faith stands sentinel at
your door, false friends within whisper
treason, and under the mockcry of
Conservatism" your camp is to be mu
tinted ana your threats barred to the
blades of your enemies. BEWARE?
LOOK OUT !!-Aldany Nc,rS.

REGULATION.

The Congress Of the United States in
1862 declared that it did not wage war
with view of impairing any of the Con-
stitutional or reserved rights of the
States.
This was either falschood, solemnly
uttered, or Congress at the close of the
war may have deemed it impossible to
adhere toit. Its certain that it then
completely ignored the existence of the
Southern States and regarded them, in
its legislation, in no other relation, than
that of conqucror and conquered.
IfCongress had adhered to its declara-
ion Of 1862 scarcely a voice in the
South would have been raised against
the payment of the public debt. We
should have regarded it as a necessary
result of defeat, and not dishonorable for
tn South to pay its proportion. But when
We are told, by events, that the war was
wagcd for compassionate we have no
rights the Conquoror does not conccdo
of his mere will, and we are forced to
submit to the most relentless tyranny
very well, we say, the conquered, too,
have rights, only suppressed by the
employment of force. They may come
10 exercise them. They may be allowed
to vote and when they can vote they
would be unmanly indeed if they voted
TO pay the debt incurred to enslavc and
degrade them.
We are gladto see, in the West and
North the cause of reputation gaining
ground The debt has ceased to be and
through radical legislation, morally obi
gatory. 1t will be "wiped out" when
the party Of the Constitution comes into
power.
Next week will publish some remarks
Of Andrew johnson on the same line.

+. -g7The fact that the democratic par
ty claims a triumph in Virginia and
Tennessee, upon the issue of an dSction
which has established "negro suffrage"
and pledges the incoming administra-
ton, in both States, to the ratification of
the XVIII Amendment, IS a public con-
6ssion gifts errors AID q totat abandon
mcnt Of its principles. AS a party, there
fore, opposed to the principles of Re-
publicanism, it no longer exists. 1t has
virtually adopted the Republican plat
form in its cardinal features, and has to
all appearances, yielded up the ghost
atlanta Era.
That is true and every democrat in
Georgia, who votes for the 10th Amend
ment, or to rcscat the negro, abandons
from that moment alike democratic
principle and the respect of honorable
men. Read them out Of the radical
ranks for such men are not to be trusted

JUSTICE AND THE HOMESTEAD
LAW

We do not use the word Justice in q
Legal but in an Honest sense-as ex-
pressive net of what the Law makes in
iquitous, but of what is Justly due from
one to another, in the relations Of life,
and in this latter sense we contrast it
with the Homestead law especially in its
retroactive aspect.
A. has unfortunately lost all of his
property. Ergo, says the Homestead
law he is entitled to several thousand
dollars of BIS property. 1t makes nc
difference under the law if B. has been
similarly unfortunate. His only RENE
dy If he can avail himself Of it is to have
an equal portion of C's property award
ed to him under the under Homestead.
If the law had been made prospective
only there would have been little objec-
ton, but it became the very reverse of
Justice when A, having the benefit of
BIS property was told even though able
to do SO that he was abselved from all Ie-
gal obligation to pay for it.

POLITICS.

There are many people, very sensible
in other respects, who eschew politics
some saying that here ignorance is
bliss" while they are happily pursuing
their private interests. We do not say
that every one should be crgrossed in
the consideration of political questions ;
but we do say, that each mans private
interests are at the mercy Of . horde Of
political plunderers just as soon as the
people become regardless of political
matters. Ignore politics and the dcma-
gogue will gather the proceeds of your
industry until you are indeed made hcw-
ers of wood and drawers of water for
crafty men.
