Mr.. Ed1tOr-The people OF the
Southern States have great reason to
lament the language of defiance and
contempt towards us, which has
been used in Congress for the last
six years. What have onr people
done since the surrender of Gems.
Lee and Johnston to merit such base
treatment? What have we done to
elicit it Can you find a greater re-
gard for honor, virtue, and the laws
Ofour country, than has been man.
ifested since the surrender, by the
Southern people? Or can you find
in reading the history of the world,
a greater disregard and contempt for
all that is true, pure and noble for
charity towards a brave, but down
trodden people; for faith in that
much abused but noble instrument,
made and adopted by our Fathers
the Constitution-than has been by
majority of the present Congress ?
For one proof only flor | like to be
brief--knowing that Editors like
short pieces) will cite you to a Bill
which has recently passed both
Houses of Congress, and has receiv-
ed the sanction of the President,
known and styled the Ku-Klux Bill.
! A Bill which was lit seems) conceiv-
ed in fear and brought forth in cow
ardice.
Has this Bill parallel in this or
any other country? Let justice,
wisdom and moderation--the motto
of our noble old State-answer
Alas alas for a nation, whose best
and most devoted sons feel that her
proudest history must ever be in the
past.
Does this law make the people OF
this broad Union feel thus? If SO
would say to them:
Strike for the sires who left you free
Strike for their salxes who bore you
Strike for your homes and liberty,
Aud the Heaven you worship DER you y
But this odious Bill has become
the law of the land, and we must
submit until the people of this whole
country, North, South, East and
West, shall in one mighty effort,
tear away the delusion, that has been
thrown around them; shake off the
lethargy, that has seized upon them,
and rise in their majesty (constitu-
tionally) and hurl this Bill, and all
other measures that are contrary to
good government, back into the
mouths of those who belched them
up---beIched did | say? Yea, they
came from below; they could not
have originated above, not in the
brain, the seat Of wisdom but from
some other seat.
Notwithstanding all this, L would
most earnestly advise the Southern
people, not that we have any mental
fear, Or great respect for our enc
mics but for the sake of George
Washington, and the principles
which he promulgated, and the cause
which he so nobly defended, to for
give them-forgive them, they know
not what they do.

Mr.. Editor While contemplated
Rail Road prospects are about to be
consummated, tending in a vast de-
gree to increase the interest as wei
as the wealth of our city, is it not
proper as well as beneficial by a com.
bination of various efforts on the
part of our citizens to build up, or
ganize, and foster any enterprise thai
will give life and movement to oul
city, resulting in much usefulness tC
the community.
| propose therefore Tin view of this
object to the Medical Profession Of
Cobb County the organization of q
County Medical Association. The
usefulness and propriety of such an
organization must be admitted, not
only by the Profession, but by the
community who desire, or should
desire the services of an educated
and efficient Professionalism who
strive by the various modes placed
at their disposal to fit themselves for
the arduous and responsible duties
which they are often called to per
form. The world is pregnant with
humbuggery, and there is no class
more seriously the victims of this
prevailing ig,,is .tataaS than those
who are physicked by the ingenious,
cunning, arrogant, would be, mystic
rious Quacks. Medicine is liberal
profession, and those admitted into
its ranks should found their oxpec-
tations of practice upon the extent
of their qualifications, not on intrigue
or artihce.
Would not a proper Medical or
ganization tend to discourage and
render harmless these imposters.-
To use the language of Prof. ---
"There are many in community
who are incapable of separating in
their minds the ideas of a Doctor
and Quack, a Preacher and Hy-
pocrite, Lawyer and Petti-fogger,
simply because the more learned
these professions are the greater OPP
| portunity and temptation are offered
for charlatans to assume the garb."
To keep out these creatures we
! believe the best plan would be for
the profession to maintain close
union among themselves and cult
vate a more intimate personal knOwl-
edge of each other. Such measures
also would restrict, and even put an
end to the petty jealousies and back
hung ~, tvo vVin'nVn, especially
among Medical men.
Such an organization would be of
great value in promoting the actua!
proficiency in science of its members
advancing them by mutual CO.
operation and combination of moral
purposes in all true knowledge
Let the Profession on this subject
speak. CAPsICUM.

OUR POLITICAL FUTURE.

The N. Y. Express speaking Of
the radical platform now being oc-
cupied by the democracy says;
"The outlook is not pleasant to
men who believe in principle and
the mighty force and prevalence OF
truth. But let us not despair of the
republic, nor cease in any and every
effort to save the imperilled freedom
Of the country. While free speech
and a free press survive there is
everything to behoped for and every
incentive to manly endeavor."

'sfou expect to advance your
Printing interests by having the
Railroads built to Marietta"
We acknowledge the fact. That
is just what's the matter. At pres
ent our business community, doing
all they can to advance their inter-
ests and ours, can hardly sustain a
first class weekly paper. Now we
want the commercial strength of this
community of business men increas.
ed, vastly we want that communi-
ty to WELD thousand times its pres
ent capital; we want it to feel strong
enough not only for all commercial
enterprises, but to put into opera
ton at short notice, schools, colleges
churches, and all other institutions
likely to promote the general veal,
and, then we expect them not only
to be able to sustain a first class
Weekly, but to demand of us the
publication of
|'THE MARIETTA DAILY JOURNAL"
"That's what's the matter" We
are anxious to get at this thing and
if the building of these Railroads will
bring it about, and we believe they
will, be sure we go for them.

THE BAYoNET AS A MORAL AGENT.
A Western paper complains OF
the hardness with which the Cincin-
natl Enquirer and several other
leading Democratic papers form in
to line on the Vallandigham plat
form, and suggests an expedient
which the editor has seen effectual.
ly employed in the army with the
struggling soldiers on the march
"A bayonet puncture four or five
inches below the small of the back"
To which the Enquirer replies /:
"Of course, the nearer you get to
the Republican platform the bayonet
comes in your mind, and you in
stinctively want to use it as a great
moral agent. That is what the
Democrats complain of in the policy
of sham Republioanism."
If that is the way the campaign is
to be conducted in the North, where
the Democrats still have some right
to call their souls their own, what
will become of us at the South where
freedom of opinion is treason against
the Government. Will not Grants
Ku-Klux army see that the election
is fairly conducted on Republican
principles ?--Sag. Ne'cS.

THE Corn CROPS. -Ih late rains
have caused a rapid growth of corn
on all grounds not actually over
flowed; and now that the rains APP
pear to have ceased, the corn is in
danger of great injury from too sud
den change from an excessively
wet to very dry season. 1t is now
full of sap, and most of it grassy
A drought following the late rainy
spell would probably blight the fair
prospect caused BY favorable condi-
tions so far. But with seasonable
rains for two or three weeks longer,
the South will probably rejoice in
the largest corn crop made for a
number of years.-CoItmbas En-

THE FUTURE.

1t is, we fear, as our correspond
ent says, that our proudost history
of freedom, "must ever be in the
past" Our people may rise in their
majesty and with the ballot crush
the party which has destroyed our
liberty; but, alas! it does not follow
that the Constitution in its proper
limitation, will be restored or that
the precedent of unlimited central
authority will not be followed.
The appeal, however, is to the
people. Republican freedom for
the last time, perhaps, calls Oil them
for succor.

The people of Georgia voted fol

There is another thing that | am

ton, and even persecution, my path

skulls. Cheers, and a voice,
"That's for Grant"1 The road over

this is so. When | look on the right,
| find no Golgotha I; and on the left,
no Potter's field. But it has been
the pursuit Of peace, the pursuit of
the interests of my countrymen !;
and am free to say to-day that |
would rather wear upon my face the
burrows of care and responsibility,
or have hands Drowned by the sun
and hardened by the implements of
the shop and the field, or have upon
my garments the dinge and dust of
labor as badges of distinction, than
to wear upon my hat the gaudy tas-
sci, or upon my shoulders the gilded
epauIettc, or have a sword stained in

fact that the wall of the widow and
the orphan does not reach my ear,
and that the stain of blood is not

THE DEMOCRACY AND THE CON
sTITUTIoNAL AMENDMENTS

$3.50 W 4A2At NAAA AL &@%N dS~AA@4@N - ~
Andrew johnson has the most sem
sible and practical views on this sub
ject that we have yet seen in print.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial says, when recently in
terrogated as to what he thought Of
the "Vallandigham Departure" he
replied:
~ haven't read the entire plat
form, but from what hear of it,
there are some sensible points in it.
But we must not depart too much
So to speak, there is as much dan
ger in getting too far away as stay
ing too near. There are middle
grounds which it is the best policy
to occupy. The trouble is that
some of our party want to accept too
much, and others don't want to ac-
cept anything. 1t should not be the
policy of the Democracy to threaten
to use force against the Reeonstruc-
ton Acts, or against the recent
amendments. There is lawful and
constitutional remedy for every evil.
Our party is party Of peace, of
law, Of order. We want no violent
measures. In my opinion, the letter
of Frank Blair to Broadhead at the
eve Of the last Presidential campaign
did a great deal of harm. Why9-
Because it was so written as to be
construed into threat that in case
the Democracy came to power they
would use force against the Recon
struction acts. Now, we should not
threaten force, nor anything like it.
There is a peaceable remedy, and
that remedy is in convincing the
people that the two amendments to
the constitution and the Reconstruct
ton acts are wrong. 1t is within
the province of the people to alter
these things if they will. The true
policy is to accept all these things as
accomplished facts, but at the same
time leave ourselves free to hereafter
urge their abrogation at the bar of
reason and justice. | have always
had great faith in the good sense
and intelligence of the American peo-
pie. We must appeal to them to
remedy these evils, but to do it in a
lawful and constitutional way
Another amendment can be adopted
that will do away with the evils OF
the last two. | have no faith in a
remedy through the courts. 1t must
be done at the bar of the people
Therefore | look for a remedy in the
future, and ain not going to say
and no other Democrat should say,
that he accepts the Reconstruction
measures and amendments as fnali-
ties, and that no attempt will be
made in the future to get rid Of them
in lawful and peaceable manner.
We should not commit ourselves to
any such absurd doctrine. We
should boldly proclaim that we ac-
cept these amendments and acts as
the law of the land now, but that we
will hereafter use every honorable
means to convince the people that
they should be abrogated and re-
pealed. If the people will not do it,
then of course it cannot be DONE
But for us to say that we will forev-
err close our lips against these in
Duties is id nonsense"
