For PRESIDENT
Or tiik United States:

TItF. ELECT I OX.
Tlw utiti-ltecoiistructionists, in himtiug
jilhiul to timl npolojtici for tlirir ilofiuit.
affirm that it was in a great measure
owing to tin- H,lief features of tin- Consti
tut ion. We are willing to acknowledge
that to those clauses may l»e ascribcil
some part ot our success, and that to
Itelief may In- -attributed n portion of the
large majority l»y which t!ie Constitution
was rati lied : Wit this will not account for the
large majority of Gov. Hi llock oyer Uon
t>ON. unless it be asserted at the same time
that the Kclicf men believed that the
former, if elected, would carry the Consti
tution into clicet, while tile latter would
not. We suppose there is no Democrat
who will make an assertion so derogatory
to his candidate.
The large white vote obtained by Gov.
ltd. lock proves’that other causes besides
Itelief were influencing the people, lie
was lielieved to la? the representative of
the pfngressive and peaceful present,
rather than of the lawless anil effete past. 3
People were wearied with the long reign
of turbulence and uncertainty, and de
sired a return to a stable government and
tranquility. Foe seven years they liny*
lived without civil law, or where it was
subordinated to another rule, and where
no civil right was secure. It was time
that this anomalous state should cease,
and that this people should have the
opportunities for progress and prosperity
denied to no other civilized people on the
face of tin; earth. They wanted no more
war—no more bloodshed—no more drag
ging of chained conscripts, or inroluntary
volunteers, to tlu; battle field. They were
wearied with the tyranny of pestilent
demagogues, who, for their own mjtisli
advancement, had brought ruin and de
struction upon thousands of their inno
cent dupes.
The people saw before them but one
course—to elect the man who was in full
concord with them in their desires and
wishes, or hint who, good anil brave
man as he is. was the nominee of those who
-till cherished the old spirit of violence
which led to disunion and ruin. They
chose the first, and we arc confident that
they have chosen wisely ; they have elected
one who, in patriotism, intelligence, honest y
and ability will do honor to the high sta
tion he will soon occupy.
As we have said before, the large white
vote for Gov. Bullock and the Constitu
tion proves that there were other controll
ing motives besides the desire of relief
from debt. No one will have the hardi
hood to assert that nil those thousands
were debtors, and none creditors. But
even if such an assertion were fact, it ut
terly oversets the argument of those who
maintained there was no necessity for
relief. When so large a porportion of a
people arc bankrupt, the law, which in
ordinary times intygeres between debtor
and creditor only toenforcc contracts, very
properly steps into give relief to the whole
people.. Law-abiding Kngland has done
so. France has done the same, and our
people, by the folly of secession, were
brought to a ruin quite as complete and
universal as were the peopleol'tliosebations
by the follies of the South Sea Scheme or
John Law 's Hubble and it* we grant the
position of the opposition, that Gov.
Bullock’* majority is ow ing wholly to the
relief clauses of the Constitution, it proves
one thing before all others, that the ne
cessity for relief was of such a magnitude
as to call imperatively for legislative inter
ference, and to justify the course of the
Convention in embodying it in the Consti
tution, and of the Republican party and its
candidate in maintaining, upholding, and
combatting for it. They, therefore, who
contend that our victory was owing only
to Relief, may take that horn ot the di
lemma if they will. Either the large majority
given for the Republican measures and
candidate were not entirely ow ing to Re
lief, or if it was, the necessities of the
people amply justified the measure.

.YA’ir CONVERTS.
It is astonishing what a number of lie
publicans have turned up since the result
ot the election lias become known. It
reminds us of the time, just after the col
lapse of the Confederacy, when it was
hard to lind a man who had not always
been, and always intended to be, a Union
man. Prominent members of the Repub
lican party are now daily receiving scores
of letters begging for their influence in the
procurement of office for the writers. No
less than eight letters of this kind have
been received by one gentleman from a
county which is said to have cast but three
white votes for the Constitution and the
constitutional candidate. If this demon
strates nothing else, it at least proves that
success is a great modifier of men's opiu
ions.
A HEM A Ilk ABLE CO A VERSION.
It becomes our pleasant duly to clirouiclc
a remarkable conversion. The editor of the
Chromcfe ,(• Scntiml has been made to see
the error of his ways, and is anxious con
cerning his political salvation. Like all
true penitents, he commences the good work
aright by humble confession, which we were
pleaded to hear >vruiio from him on last
Sabbath morning. We bid him all speed in
his reformation, hoping he will continue
steadfast to the end, Driving to in.ike his
calling and election sire —i.-xl time.
And yet, while rejoicing over the professed
repentance of this li .rdecel transgressor, wt
feel that we should be remiss in duty were
we to fail in impressing upon brother llan-u
a few words of advice and admonition. We
admire the zeal he manifests—characteristic
of ail new converts—-and can w-ep tears ot
joy to know that bis ‘‘catholicity is broad
and deep i nough to embrace all the erring
sons of Georgia,” and that be extends “the
right hand of fellowship’'to all who, ignoring
the past, will strike hands with “us"’ in this
mighty struggle. \V», would dial gently with
.our young brother Ran -■ , but inns' whisper
to him that a portion of Ms ‘ experience'
given in on Sunday nn.niii. r caused a smile
(mayhap of pity) to come over the counte
nances of some o' the elders of the Demo
cratic church. ‘‘He's a fine-lookin; . nice
young man," .id one old brother, ‘but lie
nmts too much to lit me." ‘'Hope in 's
been genuinely converted,’' remarked a
venerable deacon from deff r.'.in county,
"and is determined to l now will in;/ but
his duty, but it ’pears to me the voting man
put on too mnitv airs.” “Humph !”
muttered r tune fiob-rn* brother from Mary
land. “what cool impudence he lias! //<■
talk about offering the right band ol fellow
ship! A rner on the anxious bench
prescribing fixed mies for church govern
ment!'' And a te.ir was .-eon to s'ct 1 down
the cheek of old Aunt Hannah, one ol the
best among the -ister.s, a she wiped her
specs, and. nudging brother Willingham
with her lan, declared her intention of
“speaking to that vising man. about being
so forward in inectiii'.”
V, iil our brother, in v. ,! -o ■ welfare we are
greatly interested, listen to his seniors in ex’
perienee ? We do not beib ve that one in a

[From tho N. Y. Albion, May 2.
EXCUSE NEWS.
The week’s news has possessed unusual,
and in some respect painful, interest. Soon
after the Albion went to press, last week,
wc received the startling intelligence of
the attempted assassination ofPrinceAlfrcd,
at Sidney, Australia, by a Fenian named
Farrell. This wanton and fiendish act Was
committed on the 12th inst.. and the cul
prit has Been since tried, found guilty, and
sentenced to death ; but this does not atone
for the desperate and wicked deed. This
fearful anil apparent epidemic evil, is be
coming entirely too common. And the
most dangerous feature is the secret outli,
the casting of lots, and the voluntary
assumption of these desperate and danger
ous responsibilities, by which reckless out
casts. who plot in secret conclave the
sacrifice of human life —and that too
whether innocent or guilty of political
opposition to the assassin's behc-K When
we humorously alluded last week to the
I’rinee of Wales having become a "Kniglit
of St. Patrick," we but little thought that
bis noble hearted younger brother—whose
frank, manly and open manner has already
endeared him to millions of her majesty's
devoted subjects had been wantonly shot
in the dark, by a deluded soil of Erin. Tlie
Iri-li race may have grievances to redress,
and may desire, and also require, tlx* sym
pathy of Britons generally : but we humbly
submit that the course now being pursued
by their frenzied Fenian leaders, is likely
to bring jii-liee without mercy, and that
in quite another way from that they claim
most to desire. Wc are glad to learn that
liis Royal Highness is not. only reported
as lining well, but is now on his way to
England. Almost simultaneously with this
utuveleoim intelligence, comes the news of
the fall of King Theodoras’ stronghold,
in Abyssinia. General Napier moved upon
the King’s works at Magdala on Good
Friday (April 10th) and without the loss
of a single life, gallantly took possession of
the Fortress, after dispatching the King
himself, and killing or wounding nearly or
quite two thousand of liis troops; the
balance, about 14,000 in number, bar
ing laid down their arms to the eon
querors. This is certainly a summary
punishment, and all for. the rescue of sixty
souls- men, women and children—who had
a light to claim British protection. On the
I Ith the liberated captives, together with
the. victorious army, promptly set out for
England. leaving the affrighted and
chastized Ethiopians to select still another
dusky “Kings of Kings" to rule over them.
Ben llii.l. —Wc don’t know of a l etter
time to “drop a line” on Benjamin. In our
opinion “our Ben” lias contributed largely
to the defeat of Gordon and the election of
Bullock. Wc think it high time that we
should cense man-worshipping, and confine
our party operations to practical results.
"Our Ben” lias been “riding a high horse”
(or to. these many days. Asa man, a lawyer,
and a Christian, wo believe he will quote
frilly par : but ho has essential defects that
will forever prevent bis being a successful
political leader. We therefore beg leave to
advise friend “Ben” to “retire to the shades
of private life”--bind together his legal and
social laurels in an undying wreath of ever
green—leave polities alone, and “trust to
luck" for further political preferment. Wo
candidly confess wo are not, and never
expect to be, n Hcni.it. Ben is too brave
now for prudence, and was perhaps, at one
time, too prudent for bravery.— Griffin Star.
