Again ; yon claim that the failure to re-enact the infamous Ku-Klux bill uni due to a coalition between Greeley Republicans and Democrats. Mop- wind in your balloon, sir. You should le aware that when the last motion was made to take it from the Speaker’s table, almost the solid Republican vote was cast'in the affirmative, and that the motion failed beeau-e the solid Democratic vote, comprising more than one-third of the whole (two-thirds being necessary) was cast against it.— Read the Congressional Globe.

He knew nothing whatever of the Ku- Klux. I asked him if he had a fami ly. The mention of family seemed to paralyze him with grief.

Ilf* was'still lying on his narrow bunk, and, clasping a Bible in bis hands, seemed deeply interested in one of the plaintive Psalms of David.” This man is a victim of the law which Greeley says he “ on all oc casions advocated and justified.” that bill, because it could tv.t a licet olutions, which were adopted with the the result in any of the .Southern single dissenting voice of Mr. Toombs. States likely to go Democratic. The Cincinnati nomination to he thanked for this neglect to choke us a while longer? Why, sir, the very man whose character you lauded on Friday night, hounded on Congress to the passage of that brutal and despotic act which lias driven five thousand of South Carolina’s sons from their homes. I went to South Carolina and there witnessed the infamous tyranny to which her people were subjected, and while 1, in my feeble way, was hold ing up to public execration the dev ilish enormities of Grant’s satraps, througli the columns of one great newspaper, your candidate for the Presidency was filling his paper with that foullest slanders on this cruelly treated people, and supporting every act of tyranny perpetrated upon them. But while you were pufling Horace Greeley, why did \ >u not tell your audience how In* became .n “ iberal Republican?” You took the trouh e, after once rebuking me for my inter ruption, (very impudent it was, for it let some of the wind out of your bal loon,) of again sending a bolt at me by first asserting that 1 did not know any thing about Mr. Greeley’s character, and next, that I hud not the wisdom to understand, nor the patriotism to appreciate it. But since yon are so familiar with Greeley’s character, why did you not tell your audience t hat he supjxirted Grant and urged him tor the Presidency against all opposition ; that he attacked Dana, of the New York Sun, and others, for denouncing Grant’s nepotism; 1 hut he lauded Grant to the skies until the Fenton Resolved, That the Democratic par ty of Georgia stand upon the princi ples of the Democratic party of the Union, bringing into special promi nence as applicable to the present ex traordinary condition of the country, the unchangeable doctrine, that this is a Union of States, and that the inde- structability of the States, of their 1 ights, and of their equality with each other, is an indispensable part of our jxjlitieal system. Resolved, That in the approachin election the Democratic party invites everybody to co-operate with them in a zealous determination to change the present usurpation and corrupt admin istration by placing in power men who are true to the principles of constitu tional government and to a faithful and economical administration of pub ic aflaire. Resolved, That in our opinion the delegates to the Baltimore Convention should go untrammelled by. instruc tions, and act with all the lights before them as they deem best for the good of the party and for the welfare of tire country. Resolved, That this Convention will appoint twenty-one delegates with al ternates to represent this State in the Baltimore Convention, to assemble on the 9th of July, and that we recom mend that said delegates be rejected as follows: The delegates from each Congressional District shall select two wing of the Acic ) orl: R publicans were I j e ! ena t ea with alternates, and the driven from ojjice and the Conki ng wing installed ; that no? until Moses H. Grinnell had been removed from the collectorship of the port of New York, and General Palmer from the surveyorship, did Horace Grcely dis- eovor that Grant’s administration was a disgrace to the country, and that Constitutional liberty was iu danger! All ye god’s and little fishes! why did he not think of that ? A little more, and I am done.— What you argued that the selection of a Democratic Congress would check Greeley if he were <1 isjiosed to relapse into his Radical ideas, you ottered somewhat frail security. I was remind ed of a story once told of Alexander T. Stewart, A not very responsible character called upon him and stated that a certain actor dc-sired to lease one of his theatres. “ Who is his security?” asked the millionaire. “I am,” was the reply. “ And who the deuce is your security ?” asked Stew art. Now, sir, you Greeley Demo crats are willing to become security lor Greeley’s good behaviour, but, sir, who the deuce will lie vonr security? Why, it is enough to make a horse laugh to hear you laud Greeley as a man calculated to restore the liberties of the South. I propose closing now. A news paper writer like myself, limited to dealing with nothing hut the practical, may be excused from following illus ions. But if nature treated me sliali- bily in the matter of genius,, she bless ed me with a wonderfully good pair of eyes, which cannot lie deceived-into leading mb to pursue with you so wretched a shadow as is this Greeley movement.

There was a large German representation. The free trade Democrats were vehement in their opposition to Greeley, though the acceptance of Greeley was domi nant. Trumbull saw no option but to sup port Greeley. Schurz suggested a call of States, which resulted as follows: Alabama, Greeley—Colonel Forsyth spokesman ; Arkansas, Greeley— Senator Rice spokesman ; Connecticut* anti-Greeley—Mr. Wells spokesman— but Mr. English said the Democrats of Connecticut were all for Greelev; Georgia, for Greeley—spokesman, Henry W.

Another statement, is, that at the Fifth Avenue conference yesterday Senator Trumbull delivered a short address, in which he said : “To the question that conies uppermost among us there is only one, question which ocours to me as reasonable or possible: How are we to defeat Grant by sup porting Greeley ?” Carl Schurz said, respecting the Cincinnati nominees, that perhaps a better ticket oould have been devised aud perhaps uot, Greeley is now be fore the poople, and his name cannot be withdrawn, Overwhelming waves of opinion are rising in his favor, and it would be idiotic, to attempt at this juncture to stay its progress. The Senator expressed the opinion that if Mr. Greeley was elocted, as he would by an overwhelming vote, he would, seleet from all parties sucli a Cabiuet and draw around him such men as the nation would place entire confidence in. The World editorially treats the conferenceas afiasm. The Herildthinks the conferenoe developed that the Democratic party, old and young, will go for Mr. Greeley.
