It Las been my privilege to be closely iden

from it first organization on the 4th of July,

aim to advance the interests of tho party, and
to popularizo tlie great principles upon which
it is predicated, rather than to advance the
personal interests of individuals.

Mr. NUNNATJiY did not beltevo in taking
any notion in the matter. It was strange that
men ihflUbemne the special champions of
a flag for which they never drew a sword.
Tbe flag wanted no snch defenders. He would
have left the flag where it was, bnt he did not
faro to ptfei soon • resolution. He moved to
postponBtttdefinitoly.
Mr. HARRIS did not believe in remaining
silent in the presence of snoh an outrage as
had occurred at the Fair Ground. He would
not suppqpt an association which denounced
the flag of-hls country. TheweBolutiou onglit
to bo referred to a committee.
Mr. HOLCOMBE took the position that the
hauling down the flag at the Fair Grounds was
not intended as an insnlt to the Northern vis
itors or to the Government Mr. Kimball had
hoisted the flag and the President of tho Agri
cultural Society merely hauled it down in or
der to raise another flag used by the Society
on such occasions. He was opposed to mag-
niflying so small an affair. Inflammatory
speeohes would do harm. If he believed that
the aet at tho Fair Gronnd was an insult to the
flag he would be prompt to act in the matter.
Mr. DUNNING asked the Senator if he was
aware that tho United States flag was the
only one hauled down and that tho other flogs
were allowed to remain.
Mr. HOLCOMBE replied that he was not
aware of that bnt regarded it os on indication
that there was no intention to insult tho flag
Mr. SPEER thought tire resolutions a prop
er subject for tho action of the Senate. He
felt sure that the hauling down of tho flag did
not meet with the approval of the people of
Atlanta.
Mr. CANDLER hoped that the Senate
would not oonsider it necessary to take any
action in tbe matter. No insnlt had becn.of-
fored to the flog or tho Government Ho of

open rebellion, and he stands fa his place to
day ns a member of this House and stamps tho .
act with the Seal of condemnation. Others may
sanction it as Democratic members have done

The Disunion Democratic Party of this State
make war npon this Government and it shonld
Macon Eeir fast yean and offered the same
flimsy excuse forTt. They have bnt recently
manifested the same malice toward the . Gov
ernment amid tbe silent dead fa this city, and
not having the manhood to do it fa person
they procured ladies to perpetrate tho
act that they might shield themselves
behind ibe fidr sex. Shame npon
sneh conduct. It is asserted here that H. L
Kimball ought to bo censored for hoisting tho
flag of our country at the Fair Gronndaxea,
it is said that it was an nnholy act! It was an
act of simple loyalty and common respect to
onr Government, and he will be honored for
ft by the loyal people of the CO an try. He was
fa fovor of allowing the Society time to retraol
and rehoist the flag, bnt if they will not do so,
then he said Georgia shonld be mado a party
to snch conduct, by allowing tho
Society to exist in tho public
buildings of this; State. Let ns meet

wo did in 188Ck Lot tira Republicans hero
