ity whatever for overstepping the
restrictions placed upon it by that
instrument. 1t must be held strictly
to the letter of our fundamental law,
and each of the three departments
must be confined strictly to the
bounds conferred upon them. If De.
mocracy was ever called upon to de-
fend the principles of representative
government, the time is now at hand.
Mr.. Editor, all history shows that
the worst form of anarchy is the vio-
lation of law in the pretended en-
forcement Of the law. Can the over
stepping of constitutional limitations
do aught but bring about a disre-
spect for government? If Mr.. Greg
DRY can stretch this law, and give to
it a meaning and extent that con-
gress could not give, then he can
change all law and nulify all consti-
buttons.
What will this misconception of the
Attorney-General bring forth? Let
us go to Holy Writ for the answer?
THAT which thou sowest, that will
thou also reap" Will Mr.. Gregory
SOW the Whirlwinds, then the NUT
terings of the tornado will soon be
heard. Will the Democratic party
stand for the rape of Georgia? We
shall see. The people are aroused as
never before, and they are looking to
the party leader for the defense Of
Democratic Principles.
AS the executive placed in power
by any party, must of necessity be-
come the representative head. of that
party, Mr.. Wilson will be held to &C
count for any violation of Democratic
principles.
Will Mr.. Wilson permit his at
torney general to perpetrate this
crime? The Attorney-General and
his satellites are part of the eXecu-
tive department of our Government.
ALI are but the hired henchmen OF
the executive, placed in power by the
suffrage of Democrats, hence the
leader can not escape responsibility
for what is done. We have been
called barbarians by venial, par
tisan, press, and now, if what we
read is true, we are called perjurers
by the Acknowledgement, and l, for
one hurl the calumny in his teeth.
Does Mr.. Wilson believe his Attor-
ney-General? Has he forgotten that
his noble wife was patriotic flower
of Georgia's soil, loved and honored
her native state, and that her dust
now mingles with the old red hills OF
Georgia?
We await his answer.

of all points in the line. it would be
the least tempting to the Germans,
and consequently they alone have to
some extent neglected their field
works. Some one--Von Moltke, #
memory serves aright--made the
statement that there are always three
courses open to the enemy-and he
takes the fourth. And SO it may be
in this case. 1t would be folly for
the French to assume that, because
their defense had been partly prepar-
ed for them by nature, the Germans
would pass over the moro difficult
route and choose the easier-and also
the more obvious 1t would also be
folly for the reviewer of military
events to prophesy that, because Of
such defense, a given position could
