We arc not seek ing disunion, or secession, our peo ple are desirous to maintain friendly relations with all the States. No one is thinking of war, or another “re bellion,” as our present constitution repeatedly terms our recent effort to fir«t i secures independence. But no one « i* I can tell what the future may bring forth, and every prudent man in the State, will see the absurdity of vol untarily making ourselves criminal in our Constitution. By doing so, it is probable that we make our selves contemptible even in the eyes of those who fought to maintain the union. What we did as southern States we had a right to do. It is as easy to demonstrate that the right of peaceablo State secession existed, as it is to demonstrate any proposition in Euclid’s Elements. Hence it was not “rebellion.” Our people, in that unfortunate contest, were not rebels.

For morality, intelligence and social virtues, tlie population of Milledge- villo was always as it is now, distin guished. It was cruel and barbar ous to change the seat of govern ment without cause, when Milledge ville was declared the seat of gov ernment in 1804 and for nearly sev- enty years had fulfilled its mission with satisfaction to the people. It was akin to other ruinous measures of reconstruction. Behold the contrast! There stands the Opera House. Go and look at it- How does it look! Eike a rick- J ety big house, but for the capitol of !

This, we stated, was, doubtless one of the reasons which caused the defeat of the Convention Bill at the last session of the General Assembly. Another, was the fear that the Convention might make a material change in the Homestead laws, or abolish them altogether. If the people desire such a change, or abolition, what is the duty of their Representatives ? Is it not to yield to their wishes, even, if done against cessful contest for independence. We pass from tho consideration of this feature of the subject to con sider, very briefly, the point raised by some that it would be inexpedient to incur the expenses of holding a Convention in these times of mone tary stringency. You have repeated ly, very ably shown, Messrs. Editors, how it would be the means of afford ing great relief to the overburdened tho tavern, the bar-room, or the card table, failed to estrange you from her presence ?

Perhaps safe and protected by organic laws, as it is very evident we find no relief or protection through the legislature. Our legislature wants ruling, and it can only be done through a new constitution. Under this new constitution of Alabama, real estate of all kinds will advance four fold in value in twelve Georgia performed its work for more than half a century, behold A CAPI TOL and a host of high and enno bling associations will crowd your memory. Many reasons urge the people of Georgia to construct their Constitu tion anew. It would be worth much tax-payers of Georgia.

It is a cosmopolitan city, iich in social life and energy, active in commerce, shrewd and ingenious in the strug gle for the supremacy of trade in the New Northeast. It is attractively situated, flanked by bluffs and pla teaus, and abounding with groves and vales. The elevations are tra versed by horse railways, and a ride of a few minutes will take one from the business centre to the suburbs. The passion for suburban residences is fast taking possession of the peo ple, and several beautiful avenues, or boulevards, as the people there delight to call them, have been laid ont and built up in both this city and Minneapolis.—Z.

Where ! lifts the blut ’ k curtian of perpetual the point at issue to the decision of | a majority The counsels and deci- t sions, of a majority, are as essential j to the prosperity of a commonwealth ! as the back stays of a mast are to a ship. The legislator who will, for ; the personal gain of a few, seek to 1 defeat the public will, is an anarch in tho social and political fabric. When ho seeks to bo a censor and j chief casuist at tho expense of the j great body of the people, when he j seeks to defeat their will, directly, or 1 indirectly, he strikes at tho founda- tion of true republican cr democratic polity. On this subject it is likely I that some fears exist without any j reasonable foundation. A Conven tion would not interfere with such 1 advantages as the Homestead laws j had already conferred upon many of j our people. They would not be dis- | trnbed. If a Convention should bi ennial instead of annual sessions. It would diminish and simplify the laws which annual sessions amplify and confuse, by conflicting statutory provisions that make it difficult for professional lawyers to know, in some particulars, what the law real ly is. You have very justly depicted the evils of long judicial terms of office, twelve years for Judges of the Superior court and eight years for Judges of tho Supreme court. These are the terms commanded by the present Constitution and no change can be made without an alteration in the fundamental law. High salaries and various expenses should be cut down. The people should have the privilege of electin lish the government at their ancient capital. Citizens of Georgia demand it to be done, and it will be done ! Madison.

Be all this as it may, we go back to first principles, and say let the people decide. He who will refuse to do this becomes eolf-alienated from allegiance to the people. In our first article wo answered in part, the position of some, that our present Constitution is a good one in the main. But it contains features that countermine and under mine personal safety and the land marks of . our old revolutionary prin ciples. To contract space, I will refer to only one which is found in article I, 25th clause: “Treason against the State of Georgia shall consist only in levying war against tbe State, or the United States, or adhering to the enemies thereof, giv ing them aid and comfort; no person shall be convicted of treason except on tho testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or his own confession in open Court.” No such declaration was found in our previous Constitution, nor can it be found in the Constitution of the United States. have robbed the people of their sub stance and prosperity. The ques tion of removal was sprung sudden ly in the Radical Convention. In violation of law, and disregard of justice and economy, the majority of that body voted to remove tho capi tal from Milledgeville to Atlanta. This was done without the least re gard to the wishes of tho people. There stood the grand old capitol building, equal in adaptation and convenience to any, and second in cost to only one or two capitols in the southern States. There it now- stands in solitary grandeur upon a ! beautiful eminence in Milledgeville, | thrown off and deserted merely to | gratify the wishes of a few leading and speculative spirits in Atlanta, and perhaps the malice of shoulder- strap power and radical iniquity. It was done, too. at a time when every dictate of patribtism, honesty, and economy should have forbidden it; situated in the very centre of the State, accessible, L>}’ railroads to every part, having cost more than a million of dollars, it was thrown off ! as a thing of no value, and a poor In article 3rd, of the Constitution ! and ruined people were taxed to of the United States and section 3rd, i nearly half .i million of dollars to we find the following: “Treason ' purchase an Opera House and a against tbe United States shall con { gubernatorial mansion in Atlanta, sist only in levying war against | and why ?

The Editor of a magazine said he respectfully declined a poem, com mencing— *'I loved a maid, I know not why! * My heart was goue—she took my eye!” and added, that it was almost equal to another poem repeated to him the other day, which began thus: When I hear the gentlo breeze A bloowin’ in among the trees 1 ean't my thoughts in words express, But they aro mighty strong nevertheless. The old darkey’s definition of Perseverance was not a bad one, and will do for a life motto. Here it is —“Catch hold—hold fast—and neb- er let go.” A man took off his coat to show what a terrible wound he had re ceived some years past* “Oh, said ho, not being able to find it.” I re member now, it was on my brother Bill’s arm. “Jenny what is the mean temper ature of the summer weather in Ire land?” asked a yankee of an Irish girl, recently- “Mane, sir? Ther’e nothin’ mane about Ireland bad lurfc to yees for a dirty scalpeen.” A hint to wives—If you find it necessary at any time, to chastise your husband, you should be eareful to perform tlie painful duty with the soft end of the broom, and not with the handle. The most tender hearted man we must a bust and foel, when he lords it unkindly, yea, barbariously, over a frail woman who in an evil day pla ced herself in his power. Ho pros mised love and broke all his fervant a convention, and not through the legislature. So if relief and protec tion is wanted, let the people insist on a convention being called to make a new constitution, and don’t listen vows.

In the declaration of Independ ence, July 4th, 1776, is the follow ing language: “Wo hold these truths to be self-ovident, that all men ore created equal, that they are en dowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these, are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That, to secure these lights, governments are instituted inses, the Dawsons, and many other distinguished Georgians, who had filled the chair of State, and the halls of legislation, and whoso elo quence and devotion to principle, had made it too sacred a place for their corrupt and thievish succes sors; or perhaps it was doomed, be cause that grand old Georgian, Gov.

He got up much affrighted, and cal led to his companion to arise as the day of judgement had come. “Lie down, you fool,” paid the other. “Do you think as how te tay of shudg- ment would come in te night.” A girl of fifteen, attending school at Janesville, Wis., writing to a rela- gard of personal consequences, to preserve the honor of the State and serve the people, who bad, with unan- tive in Eau Claire, says : “We are imous confidence made him their having examination now, audit seems beloved chief magistrate in the hour as though I never knew nothing so of peril. 1 much as I do now.” and tell her, still, that he was an ar dent lover, and is now a happy hus band- He will take her disentwined locks in his, and toll her they are as beautiful in liis eyes as ever, even if sprinkled with gray. He will walk with her amidst the flowers and pluck them for her as gallantly as he did in the spring time of iheir union. What is intere ting tc he; will be in teresting to him, aud he will have a pleasant word foi her every hour when at home. If she is a true woman nothing can please her more, A man’s history and character are within his daily life. If he intends to be a master in his family, it will be written in censure and shame ; if a man of kindness and principle, his character will bo written like “ap ples of gold in pictures of silver.” When man and woman aro incom patible, when ho is ill-tempered and his spirit breathes like a volcano, and she is a shrew, delighting in cha os and confusion, love and joy burn up in the fiery chasms of their col lisions. There is no hope for such but in the contemplation of a better world hereafter, if they may be so fortunato as to reach it. _ S.

That change alone has saved an expense to the people of Alabama in legislation of sixty thou sand dollars every two years. In Georgia their pay is what the radicals made it, $7 per day, and heavy mileage, and every member presented with a free ticket over every railroad in the state. We shonld say Georgia stands ».s much in need of a new constitution as Alabama did, and the sooner we get it the bet ter, provided, it be made as fair and just a constitution as Alabama now has, which protects the rights of her people against any power that at- ] tempts oppression and wrong, J.
