'THE RADICAL STANDARD
BEARER.
“it is really mirth provoking to uoti
what tremendous effjrts are made by tin
friends of General Grant, to prove hin
the right man for the Presidential chair
So necessary is it to secure a good popula:
vote for him in every section of the coun
try, that every nerve is strained to main
him “all things to all men.’’ In the north
cr that portion of the north where it ii
thought radicalism is the winning card
Hiram is by his friends painted as tin
personification of radicalism; but in th<
South, where there aro those who Iik<
straws iu a time of storm seek a place ti
settle, the little General is not so radica
as you might suppose It is not our pur
pose to take note of what he appears ii
the nortB^ for we are satisfied he will hi
taken caro of by tho press of that section
but we desire to review the gentleman
character and positiou as portrayed by hi
friends in the South. There are thos
who disclaim all affiliation with the radi
•al party, yet, at the same time stand fo
Grant upon the ground that he is the onf
man that onu by a conciliatory admiuistrs
lion, adjust our present political difficn!
ties, to the satisfaction of all parties. I
i* claimed by the few who support him
that are outside of the charmed radios
circle, that he will not go to the furthes
lengths of his party, but that iu his ad
uriuiMration—if elected—he will be as ii
hi* private views, eminently conservative
Thi* position becomes perfectly absurd
when wo examine Mr. Grant's letter e
acceptance, in connection with the Chi
cage platform ; in (but platform we fiui
this language :
The guaranty by Congress of Equ«
Suffrage to all loyal tnen at the South wa
demanded by every consideration of publi
safety, ol gratitude, and of justice, nn
must he maintained, while the questio
of Suffrage in all the loyal States properl
belongs to the people of those States.
Mr. Grant iu accepting the nomination
accept* the platform with au emphatic en
doriement of this resolution. lie come
out squarely in favor of giving to one sec
tion the right to coutroi the question o
suffrage ; but to another he says this righ
must be guaranteed by I'vnyrtu. En
dorslng this policy, that must keep dis
asusion and strife alive iu the uation. hoc
strange does his hackneyed “Ut ut ha 11
peace” sound. Nor is this tho ouly oh
jecliua that the peace-desiring men of the
eouutry can urge against this jacobin can
didatc. LI is friends urge his claims as «
inau with arguments like this, ‘ let m
drop politics and look at the man as he
i».” We coulees this is hard to do, we
have sought to see the man ; have searched
for some expression of his views concern
ing the policy of got ernmeut; but in every
case have we been disappointed. Iu his
letter of acceptance, he sinks the man iu
Ih* partisan, boldly confesses that be is
williug to become the tool of the party
electing him; but to clear our sleeves ol
the charge of wisicpreseulatiou, we give
his owu language
At times like the present it is impoasi
tie, or at leant eminently improper, to lay
down a policy to be adhered to, right or
wrong, through an administration of foul
yeurs New political issuea, not foreseen,
ate constantly mining, and tbo views ol
tho public on old ones are constantly
changing A purely administrative officei
, should nlwajj be left free to execute tin
v> ill of the people, and I liavo always its
. peeled that will, and always shall.
He will have no policy of his own
topecta the will of the people ; this is hi
dvelaratioti of principle. What docs ihi
n? ft hr /imply tin* that as thi
chief officer of the government he will
obey every commend of the people, i. e .
a radical congress, regardless of the con
etitution which clearly prescribes his doty,
regardless of the oath of office, which
makes him mi executive officer, and not a
I tool. It matters not what the friends of
j General Grant claim for him in the smith.
They may say he is conservative i« his
views; they may boast of his magnanimi
ty; but their arguments are more than
answered in his avowal of cordial sympa
thy with the tax-levying, south- oppress
ing, negro-worshipping, God-and-morality
party. Let the people not heed all this
bosh about Grant's policy, magnanimity,
Ac., for ont of his own mouth is be con
demned. He is by his words a thorough
radical, or the veriest hypocrite. Trust
do suoh man.
19* It sometimes becomes necessary
that we should notice some of the mis
representations of the parasitic journals
which have hnng themselves on the
Radical party that they may obtain a
little greater growth. The White Riv
er Journal, whose editors hsd received
a little Democratic grace from former
associations, have fallen from that
small estate and sunk themselves iu the
depths of Radical meanuess. They are
now becoming uneasy aud excited, lest
they soon lose the wages of their
treachery. The greater lights of the
Radical party begin to flare up and
burn unsteadily, and one by one they
become extinguished, leaving them
more and more in the dark. The dau
' ger of defeat ia becoming so apparent
that they can no longer stultify them
selves in regard to the final result; #ud
though, satan-like, they have lost all
hope, their evil natures, like his, will
not let them halt in their downward
march. Like the toad in the garden of
Eden they have used their most subtle
arguments and agencies to poison the
minds of the people against the old
constitutional government, but the
spear of Ithuriel bas transformed them
and exposed their true character, and
the diabolical and bell-born counsels ot
the congressional,pandemonium will
be frustrated, flfcy havo grown so
desperate that they use means, argil
' ments and abuses indifferently, so that
their hatred can find an object, even
when these things rebound upon their
own heads. Here arc some of the un
truthful charges preferred against the
Democratic party—acts that only the
Radical party can be guilty of aud the
very means they have used to place
our Btate, with others, in the condition
they now are:
1 In the North they berate the negro,
i and his friends with a “Plug-I’gly” in
tensity. In Mississippi thev fully afiit
iate with the darkey. The/ make
speeches from the same platform, -it
j at the same barbecue table, and drink
! tangle-loot from the same jug. In the
| west they have the Pendletouian green
j back fever, until they have fairly ns
i sumed the same hue; in fact a Pendle
, i ton Democrat is the most verdant
j thing in nature. In tho east they ad
j vocate the Wall-street theory which is
; diametrically opposed. So they blow
| hot and cold, and turn the most difficult
j somersaults, with the easy facility of a
j trained circus rider.
I Every man who has read the Denio
[ crutic platform and tile full committal
' of our candidates to its principles and
i issues, which Horace Greety, the great
,! Radical leader pronounces its very
j weakness, can see the utter falsehood
| of such statements. The Democratic
j party is national aud its present plat
II form produces unbounded enthusiasm
' I in all sections alike, and the people
' everywhere are rejoicing in the hope
r that it will soon relieve the country
r from political anti financial oppression
In the west they have the Pendleton
ian green-back fever, until they have
fairly assumed the same hue ; in fact «
1 Pendleton Democrat is the most ver
. dant thing in nature.
1 Now is not that an elegant and per
t ipicuous sentence ? is it not a happy
stroke of wit and sarcasm? How we
; feel for and pity the poor rendletor
: Democrat as bo feels the scalpel thui
| applied. The dread and terror of a
> Spauish inquisition sink into insigifi
f cancc beside such flagellations as this
In this campaign, they have abau
1 dotted principle, and banished consist
ency from their thoughts. Thev ac
knowledge their bankruptcy in moral
1 ity by tlieir acts, and are scrambling
* only for the spoils. To obtaiu tlicst
3 they arc willing to make any proiui»ei
j that will secure votes,
i Now does not that read very pretty
r coming from a Radical paper in Ark
] ansae ? Uow did they seeure votes foi
i and carry the State constitution ? By
. wheedling and affiliating with the At
, rican and employing agents who per
formed their services at night, promis
p'ing mules aud land; by eufraucliisiug
1 all, whatever their offense, who voted
for it; by using the military power tc
commit frauds aud intimidate opposi
tion; by suppressing votes against it;
- by allowing negroes to register and
| vote before they were old enough ; by
voting large bodies of negroes twice,
i Now about scrambling for tbe spoils.
; This is something that we cauuot
1 truthfully charge them with in Arkan
sas. Their greatest difficulty seems to
be to dud enough regular carpet-bag
gers to fill all the places without re
sorting to the negro. Yet it is true
that the legislature has passed a bill
appropriating $28,000 to be divided
among eleven school superintendents,
and one making eleven adjutant-gen
erals with the full pay of U. S. officers,
i For these places the Governor succeed*
! ed in finding a sufficient number of
i carpet-bag representatives and officers
from disbanded negro regiments to dll
; them. There was a slight scramble
< over tbe State printing, but the faithful
; and liberal Brice made a fair divide
with the right ones and it will not cost
\ the State more than $100,000 more on
< that account. Then there was eleven
little nigger sheets which had to have
a plate each, leaving only the crumbs,
! which they are casting to different curs
1 that haye sneaked up around the table
i and are sitting upon their mangy
1 haunches receiving them as they fall.
’ | Does not their charge of the I>emoc
I racy banishing consistency and aban
II doning principle come with a nice
i gm-c from thru- Northern scalawags ?
RATIFICATION MEETING AT
ATLANTA, GA.
Grivfin, Ga , July 24th, 1868.
Dear Citizen:—Yesterday was a great
day for the Democracy of Georgia,_ “one
of which I am whom.” The masses met
in Atlanta to ratify the nomination of
Seymour and Blair. My patriotism and
the extremely low fare, (the railroads for
the occasion charging only about one-third
the usual rates) induced me to go.
I propose to relate briefly my personal
experience during the day’s visit to that
young Babel, the present capital of Geor
gia.
Arriving early I proceeded at once to
the Democratic Wigwam, the place ol
meeting, to secure a good seat and enjoy
the newspaper that a young patriot had
prevailed on me to buy. Found the pa
per to be the evening issue of the day be
fore—somewhat indignant. Got deeply
interested in an advertisement, when,
“without notice” a “twelve pounder” was
"let off” near by causing me to spring over
two or three benches. Expressed a wish
that the thing might be stopped as gum
always make me nervous. “Guns 1” re
peated contemptuously a youthful Atlan
tian ; and then he added by way of cor
rection in a tone in whioh pity predomin
ated “Cannons.” I expressed mysell
properly grateful for this effort to enlighten
me.
In about an hour the crowd began to as
semble, rapidly filling up the scats. Those
reserved for the ladies were soon filled and
of course the men in front had to resign
their seats to them, it being very import
ant to secure the ladies’ votes. The stream
of them that came pouring in growing
smaller by degrees, I indulged the hop*
that I would bo permitted to retain my
seat; and it was then that I formed and
expressed the desperate resolution net tc
vacate it at the bidding of any number ol
policemen. My fears were soon revived
however, bv seeing the men on the seal
just in front leaving it at the invitation ol
an enterprising policeman, whose iudustri
ous efforts to render so many persons ol
the masculine persuasion uncomfortable, i;
not commendable, at least seemed to yielti
him immense satisfaction. My fears wort
realized; enterprising policeman gave ui
the invitation aforesaid; affected not tt
hear it; all xny companions left me; E. 1*
repeated invitation “something louder that
before;” still unconscious until I obscrvcii
E. P’s fingers tightening on his baton
aud not wishing to get him into troublt
for assault, I thought it discreet to with
draw- Wandered about the outskirts o:
tho crowd endeavoring to get a view of thi
speakers on the stand. Obtained a fiut
view of the Lacks of several thousand per
sous Lut uoue of the speakers.
The speaking now commenced. It wa.<
consoling to think that I might hear if ]
could not see. Hut I was disappointed it
this. I could only hear, occasionally, part:
of sentences but I knew when the speukei
made a good hit by the cheering, in whicl
I joined with great enthusiasm. It wa:
at the conclusion of Gen. Toombs’ speech
(which was a masterly effort, as I fine
from reading a report of it in this morn
iug’s paper,) and while I was in a highli
enthused state that I heard some one ii
the crowd enquiring for a “Griffin man.'
Supposing that an additional Vice Presi
dent or Secretary was ueeded, aud having
no objection to serve in any capacity
I when I might benefit my country, I madi
] known that I was from the city mentioned
Instantly both my hands were seized hi
one of the “boys in blue,” formerly i
member of the Griffin garrison, who shool
them heartily, aud seemed overwhelme<
with joy at meeting me. lie told me un
reservedly that he was a Democrat, hat
no use for Radicals, would not even drinl
with one of them, in fact, he was free tt
confess that he would suffer martyrdon
first; but strongly intimated that he wnnit
greatly prefer drinking with me than wit!
his own brother. Being a temperanci
. man I failed to “take,” and soon relievee
| myself of my military friend by slipping
away through the crowd.
Gen. Cobb followed Toombs in an abh
speech, in which Judas Escobedo Brown
fas Joseph E. is now called,) was roughlj
! handled.
| whom Georgia is proud, think of the arc!
1 traitor Brown, I quote one remark of Gen
Cobb. “When I see a white man talking
: to Brown a feeling of revulsion comei
over me; when I see him talking to t
nigger I am sorry for the nigger.” Hon
B. H. Hill spoke next. It was one of tfa<
grandest triumphs of “Georgia's Patrick
Henry.” At the conclusion of his speed
Generals Toombs and Cobb rushed for
ward and grasped him by the hand. Tin
i vast assemblage rising at the samo time
i sending up shout after shout; the band:
playing and the guns thuuderiug, alto
gether produced such a scene as you could
scarce conceive much less describe. Maj
It. J. Moses of Columbus, (oue of the
counsel for the young men on trial before
a military commission at Atlanta, charged
with the murder of Ashburn,) was apeak
ing when I left Our train moved out o!
the city at 6:30 p. m., so I did not witness
the toroh-light piocession and illumination
at night, which I learn was a grand dem
onstration. Among the inscriptions on
the transparencies was the following in
genious pun: “Blair your oyes and you
caa Seymour.”
It ia thought Seymour and Blair will
carry Georgia by an overwhelming ma
jority in November.

"Let Ua Dave Peace.*’
More than three years have passed
away since the rebel armies were dis
Scrsed and the rebellion was crushed.
lot a single effort has beeu since Lee's
surrender to resist the national author
ity, or to prevent friedship and harmo
ny. The South bad and has the great
est interest in a condition of perfect
peace, because through that agency
alone can its prosperity he recovered
or its losses repaired. And yet the
state of the country is really worse to
day than it was at the close of the war,
aud has been made so entirely by the
determination of the Radical rulers to
foment discord and prolong strife in
the interests of their political ascend
ancy. Restore the South to Us normal
relations in the Union, let commerce
aud intercourse resume theiraccustom
ed ways, revive credit and confidence
between tho two sections, and the Rad
ical party vfOuld at once cease to exist
and be dissolved by a natural law. II
lives by agitation alone, and hence all
its policy is directed to keep up agi
tation.
It is for this reason that all the vari
ous schemes of reconstruction have
been invented to oppress and degrad*
the Southern people; that a militar)
despotism more odious and outrageoui
than any devised by Austrian tyraunj
has been continued; that the Freed
men’s Bureau has been extended, ant
that bloody riots have been encourag
ed to influence public opinion. A1
these diabolical inventions were con
trived l'or the single purpose of keep
iug up irritation, and of excluding th<
South from tiie Union. Had then
been tho least sincere wish for peace
or any capacity in Congress to bring i
about, all these differences would havi
been settled, and all the wounds close*
at the very first session after tho wa;
had ceased.
But there was no such intention, anc
no such desire. The best proof of tha
fact is to be found in the bitternes
with which the conciliatory course o
Mr. Lincoln was pursued, aud the man
uer in which he was personally perse
cutcd by tho Sumners, Stevenses, an*
others, who, since his (loath, have beei
seeking popularity out of the memor;
of the mau whom they had uuscrupu
lously assailed while living. The;

the South, and to provoke rcsentraen

This is the spirit in which they hav
treated a proud and prostrate peopl
of their own blood, and alter ituposini
terms the most disgraceful to our ag
and civilization they expect them ti
kiss the rod, and to accept their degra
datioo as a boon.
Now that they have established nc
gro supremacy by the power of th
bayonet; that they have subjected th
white men, women, and children o
the South to the brutal barbarism o
their slaves; that they have elevatei
I ignorance, vice, loathsome sensuality

and honor, above virtue, integrity, in

have overrun the South with plunder
ing adventurers, canting hyporrits,aui
j carpet-bag knaves; that they have, b;
j force and fraud and villainy, securei
j possession of the State government!
i and placed the whole political powe
in the hands of hired negro emissarie
and thieving ageuts of the Frecdmen'
j Bureau ; and that they robbed a ruinei
people of almost their last dollar by ai
! infamous system of taxation, imposei
by negroes destitute of property am
debased in ignorance—alter commit
ting these cri ncs, and others eqnall;
atrocious, their leader, General Gram
1 under tho instructions of his keeper!
has the assurance to sny “Let us hav
peace!” The men who have kept u]
the war during the last three years
and who design to keep it up iu th
future as they have doue in the pasl
ou tho eve of the electiou cry ou
“peace,” that is to say, a peace which i
to how down in submission before
negro supremacy, and to accept it as
condition of toleration.
We tell these vindictive and deeper
! ate destructives that there can bo m
real peace so long as the white race o
i the South is subjected to the rule of th
! black, and that the return of all mate
rial prosperity is impossible whiletha
domination continues. They devisei
it with perverse ingenuity to shut ou
a possibility of reconciliation, and as
: means of prolonging sectional strife.
Let us not be deceived by the hypoc
risy ot those who prate of “peace,” am
whose policy is war. They seek t<
embroil the country in a new civil wai
in the hope of distributing anothe
thousand millions of the people's mon
ey among shoddy contractors, Radies
demagogues, and manufacturing mo
uopolists. But they seem to forge
that if such a calamity should agaii
befal the country by weir wicked am
wilful designs, it will involve no iocs
passion or interests, but every roai
who loves the Constitution, who re
spects its obligations, wbois, determin
cd to preserved the liberties aud riirht
! which it guarantees, aud who is oppos
ed to the subjection of the white rac
to the negro. The soldiers who wen
iuto the war of rebellion voluntecrei
to fight for the Union, under a solemi
pledge made by both brauebes of Con
grss that it was not to be prosecute!
for any purpose of subjugation. The;
were betrayed thou but they will no
be deceived again. The war was con
verted iuto a political crusade for pow
er, aud now with three thousand mil
lions of debt, and half a million o
lives sacrificed, they proposed to rouev
it, with the sole object of preservin)
an ascendanev thus obtained.
And, in order to promote that schemi
they have cast aside all theirown lead
ers, repudiated the men by whose abil
ity and skill the party was created, au<
adopted the general of our armies as i
candidate, looking to this intendec
contingency. Such is the explanatioi
of his nomination, and the true reading
of the cantiug words which they havi
put into his month. ‘‘Let us havi
peace.” They intend another civi

ures as to reuder it almost inevitable
General Grant is not ignorant of thesi
designs, aud he is their convenient in
strumeut. The country is not to b(
blinded by such professions, wher
every sigu furnishes contrary evidence
Radicalism has made war upou th<
Constitution, war ou the Executive
war on the Judiciary, war ou the pub
, lie liberties, war ou the public credit,
I and war against every principle and
tradition ot our fathers. Its aim is to
destroy. It seeks to destroy this form
of Government, aud to erect a military
despotism upou its ruins; and it wil'l
stop at no means, however reckless, to
attain that end. Look over the last
three years only, to see bow every civil
right has been trampled down, aud
drstructive altraism has compassed its
success. Let us be admonished by
these excesses, and prepare for others
which are to come. If the people
would avert the perils which are threat
ened, they must rise up in their
strength and crush out Radicalism,
root and branch.

THE
APPETITE FOR TOBACCO
! DESTROYED.
Leave off Smoking and Chewing
(he Poisonous Weed, Tobacco!
One box of ORTON’S PREPARATION is
warranted to destroy the appetite for tobacco
in any person, no matter how stroag the
habit may be. OaF* If it fails in any case the
money uill be refunded. It is almost impossi
ble to break off from the use of tobacco by
the mere exercise of the will. Sometfcing is
needed to assist nature in overcoming a habit
t»o firmly rooted; with the help of thfl Frepa
| ration there is not the least trouble. Jlun
\ dreds have used it who are willing to bear
witness to the fact that Orton’s Preparation
completely destroys the appetite fo." tobacco
and leaves the person as free from eny dee.re
for it as before he commenced its use. It is perm
fectly safe and harmless in all cases, The Pre
paration acts directly upon the sane glands
and secretions affected by tobacco, and
} through these upon the blood, thoroughly
cleansing the poison of tobacco from the sys
tem, and thus allaying the unnalunl cravings
for tobacco.
No more Hankering for Tobacco aftf using Or
ton'e Preparation! Recollect it is War
ranted! Beware of Count erf at s.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
The following are a few selectee from the
multitude of recommendations in our posses
sion:
[From W. P. Ileald, Esq., Bangor, Me.]
Bangor, Mb., April 24, 1868.
I hereby certify that I have uied tobacco
for thirty years past, and for th< last fifteen
years I have used two pounds pei month. I
have made attempts to leave off at different
times—I have left off one year at a time, but
always continued to hanker aft* it until I
used Orton s Preparation which has com
pletely cured me of the appetite for tobacco.
1 would recommend all who are affected with
this terrible habit to try the Preparation,
which will certainly eure if thedireotious are
followed. W. P.HEALD.
[From E. W. Adkins, Knoxvlle, Tenn.]
Ksoxvillv, Tenn., A kg. 6, 1867
This is to certify that 1 hat used tobacco
10 BUGu »u OAiein iuui U1J ucum unu uccurnu
greatly impaired and my whole system de
ranged and broken down. It June. 1867, I
purchased one box of Ortons Preparation,
and after using it I found tint I was com
pletely cured. I have not hat any hankering
or desire for tobacco since tiling the Prepa
ration. I believe it to be all .hat it is recom
mended, and 1 would adviseail who wish to
quit the use of tobaooo to tr.' one box of Or
ton’s Preparation. E. N. ADKINS.
(From John Morrill, Jangor, Me.)
Banana, Me., Mirch 81, 1868.
This is to oertify that I lave used tobacco
for eighteen years; have tred many times to
leave off, but have sufferret so much from u
dizsiness in my head, ant gnawing at my
stomach, that 1 have soon liven up the triai.
A short time since a friend induced me to
try Orton's Preparation, 'sold by you.) I
have done so and am conplctely cured. 1
did not in the least hatker after tobacco
either to smoke or chew, after I began to use
the Preparation. JOIN MORHILL.
