By a resolution adopted by your Executive Committee, a Convention of the Democratic party is called, to assemble in the city of Afbu a <m the the most extreme centralizing views— ‘ anil prerent ATHENS, CECRCIA. f 'ridaj', June 7, Z872. A Little IMnloniary. Nobody about here proposes to take Greeley except as a choice of evils.— Anybody to heat Grant, is the slogan •»f the apologists for Greeley. Now i-ii-.’ht it nut l>e well, if there is no J >« innerntie nomination, for the States • f the South to hold their electoral v otes entirely itncoinmitted to any- Intdy for President, and east them, when the electoral college meet--, for the man an 1 the pa-tv who will give ns the (test term-Y This suggestion "as urged by the Banner some time ago, and we are gratified to see that it is embraced in the resolutions adopted by the county meeting last Saturday. Tho electoral vote of a few South ern States held subject to a recogni tion of their rights, and a redress of their wrongs by the administration, would he a thousand times n.ore ef fective iu bridging “ the bloody chasm that has too long divided the two sec tions,” than the support of Greeley or any one else of liis way of thinking. Greeley’s Deiuocrary. A distinguished Georgian who is willing to take Greeley, or almost »ny- Ixely else as a Presidential candidate (“to beat Grant” of course) charac terizes Greeley ns a “ natural Demo crat," and therefore the Democracy have nothing to fear in him. If by natural democrat, he means one who 1 relieves in the agrarian idea of Dem ocracy—the voice of the people, with out regard to law—he is no doubt cor rect. Greeley lias been the originator and persistent advocate of more agra rian ideas than any man living. He was the apologist and defender of the anti-renters and harn-burners of New York and the raiders of Kansas; the champion of John Brown, James Iled- pnth, and of about every other foe of social order that has ever cursed American society. If that is Democ racy, then old Chappaqua is a Demo crat. But of every principle of the Democratic party, and of every advo cate of those principles, he has been the unrelenting enemy, and the un scrupulous villifior, up to tho day ho was nominated by the collection of Badical malcontents at Cincinnati. The National Democratic party may have to tako him, as their exponent; but for one, we are like the fellow who was asked to dine on roasted buzzard —“we don’t hanker arter it” Ruining Party Unity. It is amusing to hear the friends of Mr. Greeley lecture those honest Dem ocrats—who, as between Radicals, like Grant and Greeley, cannot support either—on the great folly of destroy ing party unity. If a party abandons both its own men and measures, in a greedy scramble for mere party suc cess, it cannot expect to control the consciences of men actuated by princi ple. There are twenty-five thousand men at leant in Georgia, who will nev er vote for thi>se who have counten anced the devilish measures of oppres sion under which the State has groan ed since the war—to say nothing of those who, by their fanatical crusade, fanned the sectional strife which brought on the war, and have debauch ed the very temple of freedom with usurpation; fraud und violence ever since the war. If it is desired to pre serve Democratic unity at the South, the national incendiaries who have done these wrongs against Democratic principles and constitutional liberty, should not Itc put at the head of the column. Snapping tit*- Ilerll for a Witch. There hn.- never | nr hops been a more forcible application of this phrase since it was originally used, than in the proposed choice of Greeley as against Grant. The groat objection to who wtw a Federalist when Grant was voting for Buchanan, and whoisa more dangerous centralist than Grant—be cause capable of enforcing his views with power and enthusiasm—all they have to do is toall centre on Greeley.— We do not want any sneli centering and centralizing, if we can help it. Unity with Greeley Impassible. Tho only argument in support of Greeley, urged by Southern Demo crat.--, is that a concertrati -n of the Democracy on him will beat Grant.— The assumption is, that the Democra cy arc in a hopeless miuority, aud can not elect a straight out Democratic nominee. Wo do not admit the as sumption. and believe that large ma jority of the people of this country are Democrats; and that a large number of Republicans will vote for a Demo crat to Iteat Grant. But admitting that a union of the Democracy with the Reform Republi cans would lie successful, it must be apparent to all observing minds, that it is simply impossible to draw out the strength of the Democracy on a Re publican, and especially on so offensive and Radical a Republican as Greeley. Mr. Vorhees says that not over half the Democratic vote can lie relied on for such a combination. It is known that the Germans are specially oppos ed to Greeley, and is stated that Carl Schurz, one of the chief originators of the Reform movement, is utterly op posed to Greeley. Iu our own State there are many influential Democrats who will never support Greeley, and it will be imposible to poll anything like a fall party vote for him. We liave during the week talked with a num ber of intelligent Democrats from North-east Georgia, and while most of them seem to have fallen into the com mon delusion that a straight Demo cratic ticket c:rnnot be elected, they all admit that large numbers of Demo crats will not vote for Greeley. We have before us a letter from a leading Dem ocrat in Hart county who says “ Hart county wants the Baltimore conven tion to make a nomination—without reference to Grant or Greeley.” Such arc the sentiments of thousands of Democrats everywhere. Therefore the talk*about uniting the Democracy on Greeley is a snare and a delusion. It cannot be doue—and by every con sideration of principle as well as policy —it ought not to be done. returns* re verv forcinte, . ....

Who Nominated Mr. Greeley ? —The ballots in the Cincinnati Con vention show that on the 4th ballot Mr. Adams had 279 'votes and Mr. Greeley 250. On the 5th ballot, when the nomination of Adams seem ed certain, the Georgia delegation cast gloves, and gives unanswerable rea sons why the Democracy should not support him. He gives good reasons for the belief that not 50 per cent of the Democratic vote of the country can he brought out for Greeley; and that a candidate opposed to Grant, and in favor qf sound Democratic principles—of tariff reform, and in the interest of the working people of the their vote for Greeley, and presto, country—can be elected.

Will the Democratic Convention of Georgia ratify the nomination of the celebrated firm of McWhorters, Hul- b-rt & Co ? That is the great question of the day. And we commend it to the s<>- lier reflection of all delegates to the approaching Convention. A Democrat “ Wiio didn’t uo to be.”—It is said by the new converts to the Greeley school of Democracy, that he has recanted his life-time Radical ism, and will make a “ bully demo crat”—that he is a natural Democrat. Here is what he said about his Dem ocracy, and the propriety of asking Democrats to support him, short time ago: “ I saw the other day a suggestion that I would probably he the best Democratic candidate to run against General Grant for President. I thought that about the most absurd thing I ever heard of. If the Demo cratic party were called upon to decide between Grant and myself I know that their regard for what they must call principle would induce them to vote against me. Why? I AM A DECIDED ENEMY OF THAT PARTY, EVEN IN ITS MOST RE SPECTABLE ASPECTS.” From Hart—Let us have Peace. A Suggestion. The Savannah Republican, whose editor iron a Iwhcr-on at the Cincin nati Convention, suggests that the true way to back up the Liberal Republi can movement is “ by nominating at Baltimore a man who truly represents Liberal Republican principles, who has avowed, advocated, and defended them against all opposition long before they were embodied in a platform at Cincinnati, and when the nominee of the Convention held there was using all his great powers to crush them out of existence. Mr. Greeley is not a The allusion of “ Silas” in our last, to a personal difficulty in Hart, be tween a Democrat inclined to Greeley and one opposed to him, seems to have been the occasion of some hard feeling. “ Silas” requests us to state that it was far from his intention to offend any one—and that if he misstated the af- tkir, it was from the exaggerated re- jwrt of the matter made to him. He further says that if both parties are uot good Democrats he knows nothing to the contrary. One of the parties—whom we high ly esteem—sends us a communication, commenting rather severely on “ Si las,” but as we know them to be per sonal friends, we deem it best not to publish it, and regret that we publish ed any allusion to the matter at all.— Whether Greeley is forced upon the Democracy or not, in our State, coun ty, and personal affairs, “ let us have peace.” Southern Democrats can’t afford to fall out about side issues— especially back-side issues like Greeley. Perhaps you will ask me, in con- chi-ioii, what we ought to do to be vud, aua to save our country from further misrule and plunder. I am not here without an answer to a ques tion so natural. Much the largest number of voters in the United States are as yet without a candidate to suit them; and they will remain so eveu after Grant is nominated at Philadel phia. With Greeley and Grant con fronting each other, there are elements in existence opposed to both, and more numerous than the followers of either. They may be enumerated in four class es : 1st. Genuine and sincere revenue reformers heretoforeacting with the Re publican party. This class embraces many distinguished and able meu who are sincerely attached to a revenue tariff, equal taxation, and other need ful financial reformations. They do not see that the election of either Grant or Greeley will bring about the only a salutary changes, and in this opinion they are largely supported by those with whom they have heretofore acted. 2d. A very large majority of THE GERMAN POPULATION. Grant is distasteful to them on many accounts; and Greeley, if possible, is still more obnoxious. The German press is more than ten to one against him. The meddlesome advocate of sumptuary laws will naturally receive but little support from a people whose mode of life he has always denounc ed. With Mr. Greeley’s ideas of the powers of tho Federal Government over the local affairs of the people he might with consistency seek to regulate their domestic habits by proclamation in the event of his election. A people who have crossed the ocean to find a land of freedom desire no such execu tive ruler. They also desire freedom from trade and commerce as well as for themselves. 3d. There is a very large and re spectable party in this country known as isentattves. ,e Committee, by auother resolu tion, directed its Chairman “ to issue an address to the party,” giving ex pression to the views of the Commit tee, and explanatory of its present action. In accordance with this resolution, I have the honor to submit a few words for your consideration: You will perceive that the time fix ed for the assembling of the Conven tion is in the latter part of June, about two weeks before the day of the meet ing of the General Convent on of the party at Baltimore.

The Committee, in the call for the convention, specify but one purpose for its assembling: “ to select dele gate* to the National Democratic Con vention to meet in Baltimore on the 9th of July next.” It was deemed inexpedient, at the time of the meeting of your commit tee, to include in the objects of the Convention the nomination of a candi date for Governor. At that time a bill was pending before the Congress of the united .States to remove the disabilities of citizens disfranchised by the fourteenth amendment of the Con stitution. It was not known whether that bill would become a law before the time of the assembling of the .State Convention. The Committee, there fore, deemed it proper, and only just to the people, to postpone an}’ nomina tion of a candidate for Governor until a time when it would he certain wheth er or not the field of choice would be enlarged. In addition to this, it was evident that another Convention of the Dem ocracy of the State must he called to assemble after the Convention at Bal timore, to receive the report aud con sider the action of the delegates to that convention, and perhaps to nominate Presidential electors. This latter Convention can make a nomination of a candidate for Governor, under cir cumstances, and with the lights of events to guide them, which would not, perhaps, exist prior to the Con vention at Baltimore. The Committee by its resolution have called upon you to renew and perfect your party organization in each county. We mean by this that, in our judgment, the Democratic party should not, under any circumstances, be disbanded. Its principles are the only true interpretation of the consti tution ; and their successful mainten ance affords the only meins for the preservation of the rights of tiie States and the liberty and protection of the individual citizen.

But each time the example of some Hamp den, or the sacrifice of some Lee lias proved to the world that they still ex isted, and still claimed their followers aud apostle*.

Present them with a can didate whose life has illustrated its principles and not their opposites, and whom the Democrats can consistently support, and we shall hoar no more of Mr. Greeley. They will take up the ticket, carry forward the campaign with a hearty good will, and come out of it triumphant. Everybody who looked on at Cincinnati knows that Mr. Greeley was not the choice of that body for President. By trickery, or something worse, on the part of a few political wire-workers, like Cochrane and McClure, Mr. Adams was cheat er! out of the nomination just on the eve of victory. No one can deny this truthfully. It were impossible, under the circumstances, for the honest por tion of the Liberal Republicans to fcci satisfied with the nomination. They support it now only because they have nothing else to cling to, and they will abandon it tiie moment the Democrat ic party shall think projKir to relieve them from the embarrassment.” The editor proceeds to show that Grant, aside from his nepotism and ] the Cincinnati nomination carries no iguoranec of civil affairs, is that lie is a centralist, mid that ritatc righto are in danger under the success of liis par ly, is no nmre emphatic cen- Uuii.-t in America than Greeley. He ha* written a hir .orv of the late war, in which he inhois through pages to show that the constitution of 1787 provided for a consolidated govern ment, which subordinated the States to pretty much the position which •utintics bear to State Governments. He has advocated and defended the infamous Civil Rights bill, and all his twaddle about amnesty has been based on the insane crotchet of equal rights, of which John Brown was lii.* beau ideal of a martyred champion. Hence his pretty prattle, in his letter of ac ceptance, about local self-government, if it means anything, simply means that local government shall be respect ed when it does not interfere with the right and duty of the Federal Govern ment to “ enforce by appropriate leg islation” the provisions of the 14th amendment, which Greeley, and Sum ner, and all that school of saints and obligation on the Democracy to sup port it. That body was merely a mass meeting of disaffected Republi cans—not having regularly chosen delegates from three States—with no power, and no right to thrust its choice upon any organized movement, and that all real friends of Reform will readily acquiesce in any ebange in can didates, which the principles and feel ings of the great mass who are to sup port them may deem essential. The editor further says, that should “Judge Davis, or Mr. Adams, be nominated for I'resideut and General Hancock for Vice-President, or—which per haps might be still 1 letter—should the at Baltimore, and we have to defend him in the canvass. If the Democrat ic party is called on to carry the dead weight of Greeley through the ap proaching canvass we shall leave de fending him to those who have invited and counselled the humiliation. Impressed as we are with the con viction that the nomination or support of Greeley by the National Democrat ic party, is a death knell to that organ ization and its principles, whether he is elected or not; aud convinced also that he is the weakest man in his party, except the other anti-Grant rad ical Dromio—Charles Sumner—that could be run against the great Gift- Taker—we feel sacredly bound to do all we can to prevent the calamity of his endorsement at Baltimore. The way to prevent that endorsement is, for those who are opposed to it, not to keep silent and wait in timid fear of destroying harmony, until the fatal deed is doue: but by every possible means combat the manifestation of a willingness to support him, whenever and wherever exhibiting itself. If we could see reason in the proposed sur render to Greeley, in the face of the evident fact that it must divide and destroy both the Democratic party and the liberal movement, wc should feel that waiting might be pardonable. But it is against our judgment, os well as revolting to our principles. The most effective way to combat the eccentric and inconsiderate impulse in favor of Greeley, is to remind the people what manner of man the fanatical philoso pher is. Wc have done this by a few characteristic extracts from his recent utterances, and a perfectly fair recital of some ot the incidents of a long life of unremitting hostility to Democracy, to our cherished institutions, and our most sacred traditions.

The masses of the Democratic party, three million strong. There is not one in a hundred for Mr. Greeley, and none for Grant. They want an honest, upright man with whom they can substantially agree as a candidate, and then they will move as an organiz ed army deserving success and secur ing it. Between the four classes that I have specified hut little discrepency of opin ion prevails on the public questions. A UNION OF ACTION ought not to he difficult. With such union victory is certain. I speak in the interest of no man as a candidate. I have no favorite now to urge. 1 will most cheerfully support any one ot the distinguished gentlemen heretofore named, or if not so prominent yet true and capable, should be nominated, it would be well with me and with the Democracy. I shall work from now to tlic 9th of July to bring about a result so auspicious. I have high hopes of the wisdom and integrity of tho Conven tion then to assemble. I do not believe that such a disaster can befall us as the nomination of Mr. Greeley. I believe honor and principle will prevail. If, however, it should happen otherwise, and I should be laid away in my pol itical grave along side of ihe dear old party for whom I have fought a hun dred battles, and never one against her, all I ask of you, my constituents, whom I have known and loved so long, is to write on my tomb-stone: “lie fought the fight and kept the faith.” day The Atlanta a few had this paragraph: Hon. John Forsyth wa« in the city yesterday on his way home from New York city. He is soundly Democratic— in tavorof ihe party running and electing its own candidate." The Philadelphia Convention. —This body met on Wednesday, 5th, and organized by electing ex-Mayor McMicliael, of Philadelphia, tempo rary chairman. Thomas Settle, of North Carolipa^was chosen permanent President, and Nowlin of New Jersey, Hulibird of West Virginia, and Patter of Florida, Secretaries,. Ben Conley Vice President for Georgia and P. M. Sheibly one of the Secretaries. It was believed Grant would be nomina ted by acclamation. - The contest for Vice President, between Colfax and Wilson, was likely to he strong. A Blast From Sumner.—Senator Sumner is out iu a terrific bill of in- dictraeut against Grant. He arraigns him for ignorance, stubborness, nepot ism, malignity, and general cussed- ncss, aud appeals to the Philadelphia convention to relieve the country and the Republican party of the dead weight, by refuting to renominate him. V*’ be in any wise abandoned or ignored by the action of the General Conven tion at Baltimore. On the contrary, we indulge the earnest hope, amount ing to a confident assuranci, that the Convention will reassert and proclaim anew the adhesion of the Democratic party to the principles of constitution al Government which the present con dition of the country and the exper ience of the Southern States during the last seven years, prove to be the only foundation for tiie prosperity of the whole Union, and the renewal of anything like fraternal relations among the people of its different sections. Nor do we believe that the Conven tion will recommend or lor an instant contemplate the dissolution of the Democratic party as an organization. What may be its policy as to nominat ing candidates for President and Vice- President cannot now he with certain ty foreseen. It may be that tiie Con vention, composed as we trust and believe it will he, of men of patriotism, wisdom and cxperince, will consider it good policy to make no party nomina tion for the Presidential election.— But, even if this be the result ofits deliberations, wc feel convinced that the party organization will he main tained equally with the party princi ples. For whatever our party may do, in order to be effective, should lie done as a solid body, and with united efforts. , Therefore your committee do most earnestly urge upon you the necessity for organization and united action in each and every county. Send your delegates to Atlanta, aud lot the unit ed wisdom of the party select delegates to whom can lie entrusted the guidance of your action in the approaching elec tion, the result of which must be your restoration to the fair and full nropor- tions of free citizens of a republic, or your consignment to a condition more burdened with oppressions tliuu any you have yet endured. And in this connection your Com mittee desire most earnestly to urge upon you the necessity for harmony of feeling and conceit of action among all the friends of constitutional liberty. We deprecate most sincerely any rash or unadvised declaration of n future course of individual action by mem bers of the party. The juncture of af fairs now upon us is more pregnant with results for good or evil to our country, and especially to the people New Advertisements. ""By'feHARLFS^.TnEEMd/D.
