THE CONVENTION.
Our friends in Muscogee und the adjoining
counties, will not forget that next Saturday
i* the day set apart f.«r the selection of ilelc-
gnteslo attend the Convention nt Milletlge-
villeinMuy next. Let them meet punctu
ally at the Court House at 11 o'clock, and ap
point such men a* will represent them Faith-
full v in the Convention.
To our minds the fjet is undoubted, that
the people of Georgia are fully prepared to
odhtnin it judicious nomination hy the Anti
Vim Buren party. They nre now no dotthi
fully putisfiod with th® reigti of misrule in
our State ns well as Federal Government,
and we believe i» is only necessary that the
counties he fully represented in the Conven
tion which is to select a candidate fur Gover
nor, in ordet to ensure complete success, ll is
true that we may he destined longer loendure
the pain of beholding onr State Government
in the hundsof men who will not claim, and
dare not maintain for that State any oilier
rights und independence than those which
belong to n petty corporation. We may be
compelled longer to hear the mortification of
seeing our independence and ad our dignity
as a sovereign member of a once glorious con-
fede-acy, prostrated, bargained and convey
ed, fin a pitiful mess of pottage, to the use,
benefit and abuse of vain, corrupt and pre-
i sumptuous demagogues in power; hut we
<s we shull be deceived in the uwuken-
irtg vigilance of the people if they do not
speak a different language ere long. This i*
not perhaps n suitable occasion to enter into
an investigation ol the merits of the contest
which will engage the prevailing parlies of
tin* Stale during the approaching summer.
Whet: the proper time arrives we shall mil
he lukewarm iu arousing attention to the is-
*ttesinvolved. In the mean time however,
it is our solemn duty, rendered so by the na
ture of the circumstances that surr mud its. to
begin w®|| tin? battle, upon the termination
of which m many and great results depend.
\V® wish no lean asseuthlag® of delegates in
th® Convention—no Redp.-pper, Ned Rucker
nlTYir. Lei the State Rights puny of every
county he represented, and in the interim let
every friend of our beloved Southern in-ii’ii-
tinus, ponder well the importance of union
of heart aud hn"d iu the coute«t which " ill
be opened; lei them all he prepared to vvr|
cum® the nomination of any true and able
soinItem soiiled candidate, and the issue will
not he d-Mihtful. Victory will crown the ef
furls of those who struggle lor the preserva
tion of out now fist perishing institu ions*
We candidly believe that there is hardly n
true Stain Rights man iu Georgia, who is
not prepared to make targe sacrifice*of per
sonal preflercnce and predilection in order to
en<ure the success of the Anti-Vail Bn-
i qpj it tit ion*! Is it becuuse they advocate

Intelligence from thi*country basal length

that which we now exhibit.
I said that the mci ting wa* universally re

every peculiai mci ion can have their ri spec-

thank llcnven, we can boast of many in our
ranks who richly deserve to occupy this dis-
FL ORIDA.
« The news from this long distracted Terri-
toty, which will he found iu another column,
is of ,-t cheering character. There is scarce

savage Seminole* will iu. a lew weeks he

be treated by the Government force with
kindness, and receive the full benefit of the
treaty of Paine’* Landing. «9 if they had
committed no depredations whatever We
liuve heretofore express'd an opinion upon
th® propriety of this course. The life of the
Indian must he exceedingly precious in the
sight of this humane Government of otir-,
when that Government will consent to quar
