People’s Convention.
The Convention which met in this city last week,
.. a . f the largest and most respectable ever
n lit h igether on a si rnilar occasion. It was eom-
i iii' plain republican citizens of Georgia. It
. .:,nt made up of aspirants, wire-workers and po-

-•ts of the country and the rights of the South,

Judge Johnson’s Letter.
AA i, find in the last Federal Union, this gentle
man s letter of acceptance. It is in perfect har
mony with the principles and tactics of “Re-organ
ised Democracy,” who, to attain an ulterior end,
are, at this particular time, willing to “become all
tilings to all men.”
The Judge opens his letter with a reference to the
Democratic creed, which, lie says, originated with
Jefferson and Madison, and “owes its most brilliant
illustrations to the Administrations of Jackson and
Polk.’'
-I-n, i. \,u be remembered, that the Southern
Rights wing of the Democratic Party, (which in
cludes many secession AVhigs) declares that the
Democracy of Jefferson and Madison inculcated as
a cardinal article of its crei d, the constitutional right
of secession, by any and every State, whenever they
felt themselves aggrieved, or their interests seemed
to required ir. It was under this erroneous iuter-
pretation of the Constitution, and the A T irginia and
Kentucky Resolutions of ’98 and ’99, that South
( arolina passed her nullification ordinance in 1832;
it was under this view of State Rights and State
Remedies, that the Nashville Convention was called
and twice assembled in 1850, and a Southern Con
gress and Southern Confederacy proposed and urg
ed by these same dis-union Whigs and Democrats,
v bo now would shelter themselves and their ulteri-
oi designs under the honored name of Democrat.
But how did “ Old Hickory” treat this “ political
creed in ]c32 ? He Issued bis proclamation against
it sanctioned the Force Bill, and sent a fleet to
Charleston harbor, and had not South Carolina re
ceded from her hostile attitude lie would have giv
en her rather a noisy and impressive, as well as “bril
liant illustration” ofbis “political creed.”
And how did Mr. Polk “ illustrate” Mr. Johnson’s
political creed ? AVhy, by sanctioning, among other
monstrosities, the H i!mot proviso.
But, says the worthy Judge, “it achieved its last
victory in the election of General Pierce.” Now the
people of Georgia well recollect the position of
Messrs. Kliett, Colquitt, McDonald, Johnson and
the Southern Rights Party generally, in 1850, and
’51. If was in open and avowed hostility to the doc
trines of President Jackson, Polk and Pierce. The
latter in his inaugural says—“ I hold that the laws of
1850, commonly called the “compromise measures,”
are strictly constitutional, and to be unhesi
tatingly - carried into effect.”
Judge Johnson and liis coadjutors declared the
Compromise unconstitutional, and pledged them
selves to resist it “at every hazard and to the last
extremity. And yet this Democratic creed, he
tells us, achieved its last victory in the election of
General Pierce,
But tlie learned Judge informs us, that to har
monise Democracy, he has “unceasingly labored
trom the 10th of December, 1850, down to the pres
ent day. ’ But how has he labored ? Did not he
and liis dis-union compeers cut themselves loose
from tlie Democratic party in 1859—form a distinct
organization, and avow their determination no long,
er to affiliate with the National Democratic Party,
or act with it in Convention ? AATiat says father
Ritchie ? AY hat say those Union Democrats, who
on the memorable lUth of December, 1850,” assem
bled in this city, and in Convention with Union
AVkigs, gave an extinguishing blow to the fell
spirit of disunion; and who for their patriotic ef
forts were classically styled, by Mr. Johnson, as we
are informed, a “contemptible pack.”
The Democratic nominee very naturally desires
that the past should be forgiven and forgotten. He
knows that unless he can eoncilliate the feelings of
some of this “ pack of loose submission traitors,”
whoso feelings have been outraged by secessionists,
no spirit of divination is necessary to predict liis
political doom, in October next. Indeed, it is “read
and known of all men” who have obsen’ed tlie gen
eral dissatisfaction that lias attended the announce
ment of his candidacy.
But we leave his letter for tlie present, commend
ing it to the careful perusal of all admirers of politi
cal patch-work and charlatanism. It is on the whole*
a tolerable fair personification of “ Modern Re-or-
g inised Democracy.”
Rather Fast.
Backed by Gov. Cobb, Judge Hillyer and other
“ re-organizers,” tlie Athens Banner under its new
and disinterested auspices, seems to entertain a de
cided aversion to the name and principles of the
Union Party. This is quite natural. Aware that
an affiliation with secession democracy could only
be consummated by ignoring vital principles and
issues, and hoping to cover his retreat from the
Georgia Platform by calling up the ghosts of those
old questions which belong to a bye-gone genera
tion, the Banner not only assumes the delicate task
of erecting for us a platform, and providing us with
an outfit of principles, but also officiously furnishes
us with a name.
The proceedings of the meeting held in this coun
ty on the 14th inst., have especially refreshed/rar
Athenian contemporary; and because one of the
editors of the Recorder offered resolutions affirming
the Georgia Platform—endorsing the Compromise
and National Administration of Air. Fillmore, and
the National AATiig creed, he imagines that we have
abandoned the Union name and organization, and
is therefore greatly comforted and encouraged.
Now, the Banner knows very well, that the AYliig
Party of tlie South, is essentially the Union Com
promise Part) - —that the National AATiig creed is in
perfect harmony not only with the Georgia Plat
form and the adjustment measures, but also the In
augural professions of Gen. Pierce. See Recorder
of March 29, where, in opposite columns, are given
the sentiments of the inaugural together with those
embodied in the National Whig creed, and which
in no wise conflict. And we have challenged,
(though in vain) and we again challenge our Athe
nian brother,'to show wherein Union Democrats and
Union AAtiiigs at all differ upon any vital issue or
question now before the country. He knows us too
well to believe that we would, under false profes
sions, lure into the Union Party men who are not
fully and cordially with us in principle, feeling and
aim. AVe desire no unnatural fusions—no organi
zations of conflicting and incongruous elements.
But our Athenian friend, ere this, will have
seen that a Convention of conservative Whigs
and Democrats, met together in a spirit of pa
triotism and harmony, have framed a platform of
principles upon which all true ncarted Republicans
can firmly stand; they have presented on it a man,
around whom every true Georgian should feel
proud to rally. Let our contemporary, therefore,
be greatly revived and comforted. Ihe Union
Party still lives, a terror to evil doers, and a praise
to those that do well.
Brnnsnlck Railroad.
We learn that some of our worthy and enterpri
sing fellow-citizens are taking stock in this road and
becoming otherwise interested in its success. AA e
noticed last week a statement that the bonds of the
Company had been negotiated, andiron contracted
for, sufficient to supply the whole route. A few
miles of the road, ove learn are already completed,
over which the engine now runs, and other portions
are under contract, and tlie work ot grading and
laying the superstructure going on rapidly. AVe
are glad to believe that our fellow citizens of youth-
eastern Georgia, will soon “got out of the woods,”
and liave a direct rail-road communication with
the Atlantic seaboard. They have sent their pro
duce toTlnrGu 1 f-eoast long though. Success to
railroad enterprise in every part ot the Empire
State.
Distasteful.
The course of Gen. Fierce is daily becoming
more and more distasteful to Georgia Democrats ot
the old Jacksonian school, as will be seen by a
communication in our paper to-day from Cassville,
and an article from the Rome Courier. Having
surrendered himself into the hands of radicals and
ultraists, the conservative portion of the Democra
cy sec that tlicir only safety and comfort, and the
preservation of the Union, can only be secured by
affiliating with the conservative AATiigs of the
country.
Hon. W. B. Fleming and Clias. S. Henry, are an
nounced as candidates for tin- Judgeship in the
Eastern Judiciai Circut
fits John R , A. Sanford.
It looked like old and cherished times, to see this
honest and patriotic Union man in the Chair on
AA eduesday last. His course has been in refreshing
contrast with that of some of his old associates. His
eloquent address on taking the Chair was received
"ith unbounded applause. There Yvere several
other patriotic Union Democrats in the Convention,
" ho cannot be seduced into the abandonment of
thfcirjjrineiples by an empty name.
Hon. Robert Toombs.
-Fne speech of this gentleman, before the conven
tion on Wednesday last, was a masterly vindication
of tne principles and aims of the Conservative Union
inea of Georgia. By the most undeniable facts, he
showed the unsoundness of the two national par- j
ties upon questions vital to the interests and safety
ot the South, and by arguments unanswerable and
conclusive,demonstrated, tluit our honor and rights
would be jeoparded by an affiliation at this time
with either. He was for standing firmly and fixed
ly upon the Georgia Platform, and sternly adhering
to its principles and resolves. He indignantly de
nounced the acts of God. Pierce as being in glaring
conflict Yvitli his professions. Upon the Southern
Rights party, and then-wretched platform, lie was
cnuliingly sarcastic. As we are promised a copy
of this able speech for publication, we Yvithliold fur
ther comment. It was received Yvitli great applause
by the Convention, and caused some sissing among
the Fire-eaters.
Hon. A. H. Stephens.
Tins favorite of tlie people, was able to reach our
city last week, cn route for Hancock, Yvhere he
spends a few days Yvitli his brother. He is still suf
fering some inconvenience from Ids fractured arm
Yvhich, however, is rapidly healing. Mr. Stephens
is in fine spirits, confident of the triumph of our par
ty, and ready, if necessary, to take the field as soon
as liis health will permit, and battle for our princi
ples and success. AA'e hope lie Yvill find it conve
nient to address the people in different parts of the
State, during tlie canvass.
The Difference.
Reorganised Democracy at this time is Y'ery far
from beiDg harmonious. The fate of the deceived
Murphey, the summary stultification of the duped 1
AVaruer, tlie ostracism of the chivalrous and too
magnanimous Lamar, the lofty fall of the too san
guine Haralson, and the significant hint to Jackson,
and ominous obscurity of Lumpkin; all these events
viewed in the abstract or concrete—as isolated and
fixed facts, or as an embodied and wholesale de
monstration, have created a hubbub and stir
in the secession camp, as painful as indescribable.—
Nor is tiiis very amiable state of things likely to be
improved by a full disclosure of all the various in
fluences and interests which so happily combined
to kill off at a single dash so many troublesome as
pirants.
But mark the difference. Whilst the Democratic
Party is rent with dissension, from a redundant ar
my of aspirants to office with discordant principles,
peace and harmony pervade the Union House
hold. This difference was especially noticeable in the
developments of the two Gubernatorial Conventions.
In tlie Democratic Convention the nomination Yvas
eagerly sought by conflicting claimants—in the
Union Convention it was carefully shunned by the
gentlemen whose names were prominent before the
people. It was only under tlie stern dictates of duty,
that either Messrs. Jenkins, Hull, or Miller were
willing to accept a nomination. It Yvas courted
by neither. Hence the friends of all liad an
agreeable task to perform, for they felt that their
action, Yvould in no event disappoint public expec
tation, but their selection be ratified by a gratified
constituency. No marvel that a party made up of
such noble and patriotic materials is sanguine of
success.
Hard to Picase.
AA'e learn from tlie Savannah Courier, that a por
tion of the Democratic party met on Saturday night
last for the purpose of ratifying the recent nomina
tions. That of Judge Johnson Yvas unanimously
confirmed, but Col. Seward Yvas strenuously op
posed on the ground that he Yvas a AVhig, and oth
erwise incompetent. How will the matter end ?
First District.
Hon. James I.. Seward is tlm Democratic candi
date for Congress in the First District. AA'e find
the following card in tlie Savannah papers:
“ AA'e, the undersigned delegates at Miiledgeville,
from the First Congressional District, believing that
there is not sufficient time for holding a regular
District Congressional Convention, recommend to
The Democratic Party of the District to give tlieir
united support to James L. Seward, Esq. of Thom
as county.

Eldred Swain, Emanuel.”
At a meeting of a portion of the Democracy of the
First District, held at HolmesviUe, it was resolved
that yv Convention be held at that place on the third
Monday in July next, to nominate a candidate for
that district. How the matter will end, is vet doubt
ful. Seward will be hard to head this time.

For the Recorder.
Cass County, June 21st, 1853.
Messrs. Editors: I would take it as a great favor
to be allowed the privilege of a few words to the
people, through your columns. And by way of
opening my remarks, I would observe that I have
ever acted witli the Democratic Party, have been
raised in the lap of Democracy, have ever consider
ed myself a Democ rat. From recent developments,
however, I begin to question my claims to that
name, though I still hold the principles. Fire-eat
ers, Southern Eights men, or Yvhatsver else yon may
call them, have stolen that once magic and honored
name, and with it have swindled thousands of the
masses into the belief that they have the principles
vkU it. Even Union nun—Union Democrats,
have been led by the old bugle, that the fire-eaters
have stolen, into tne enemy’s camp, and have there
remained willing captives. Did ever the world
witness just such a scene, politically, as Geor
gia now presents ! Two wings of a party, (?) which,
a few months since, rvere fiercer enemies than any
other, arc uoyv seen affiliating. True, the tire-oating
wing carry every thing their own way, but the Union
wing act with them—have harmonized. To do this,
what a sacrifice have they made! They have forsa
ken principle, just for the privilege of wealing a
name,—just as though a man coiilil not he a Demo
crat wi ll any other. They have allowed those who
are not only enemies of tlieir country, open, avowed
enemies, to rise up from the dust and degradation,
the honest masses once assigned them, and assume
the position of leaders, while they trail behind, ne
ver even once being allowed a crumb that falls from
the table.
How has this been effected 1 Messrs. Editors, it
was effected by a President Yvhn received Union
votes, turning traitor to his principles. This gave
fire-eaters and their pretensions an air of respecta
bility, and with it power. But, Messrs. Editors,
though it may be of little avail now for one to say
so, yet, allow me to tell these same fire-eaters, se
cessionists, “ haters of the Union as hell,” hypo
crites, who promised everything while they were
down, but now show their true, hateful, malignant
characters, that whenever they assert that their’s
are tlie principles of the old Democratic party, they
greatly err.
This was clearly, satisfactorily and severely shown
and charged upon them by the late editor of the
Runner, w ho, for liis honesty, and because of his
fearless and manly exposures, was silenced by him
who lias sold his principles, his popularity and a por
tion of his party to the enemy? Yes, people of
Georgia, he who received the largest majority ever
given to a candidate in this State, for a similar office,
rewards you for your confidence and your votes, In
For the Record??.
Tattnall County, 17th June, 1853.
Messrs. Editors: As I am a subscriber to your
valuable and largely circulated paper, permit me a
sfnall space in your columns to relate to you and
many others of our Union friends, how we are halt
ing between two opinions. AA'e have not as yet
held any public meeting to send delegates to the
HolmesviUe Convention, or to the Gubernatorial
Convention. I feel loth to say that wey as Union
AA'nigs, are sleeping over cur interests, and allowing
the Secession party to undermine us in every shape
and form. But I say, Union men of Tattnall coun
ty awake! and if you awake, walk; if you walk, run
and fly to your rescue, ere it be too late. Let us
rally together, and gird on our armor, and save our
glorious Republic from devastation. Slumber no
longer under the false delusion that better times
will come without our aid. But in weal or woo, let
us be found discharging the duties incumbent upon
us as Union AA'higs. Let us be up and doing. Bet
ter lato than never. Though our hopes may be
blighted and our prospects gloomy, let us not sink
under disappointments and misfortunes. But let
us as true-hearted Americans bring up our thoughts
to nobler purposes. Brother AA'higs, unite together
and falter not, and let us by our w ords, deeds and
actions, sink in oblivion the name of the Secession
knaves and fanatics. A Uniox Man.
3d District—Houston founty.
Perry, June 22d, 1853.
According to previous notice, a portion of the"
AVhig party of Houston county met in tiie Court
house on this day for tlie puiqwse of sending dele
gates to the Congressional Convention to be held in
Forsyth, on tlie 8th proximo.
On motion, Nathan G. Lewis was called to the
Ghair, and Peter S. Humphries requested to act
as Secretary.
Mr. Samuel II. J. Sistrunk then offered the fol
lowing resolutions:
Resolved 1st, That tve, the AA'hig party of Hous
ton county, are still true to the conservative princi
ples of our party, and still stand upon the Georgia
Platform, as containing an embodiment of the re
ciprocal rights and duties of both State and Federal
Governments.
Resolved 'Id, That we, being actuated solely by
principle and r.ot by any consideration of party
ties, anil having for our sole object the good of our
country, will enter the coming canvass Yvitli undi-
minished zeal for the success and triumph of our
long cherished principles, upon which depend the
safety, prosperity and happiness of our country.
Resolved 37, That Yve will most cordially unite
with our conservative brethren of the State in the
support of any man who is honest and capable, and
Yvho i s a true exponent of our principles.
Resolved Ath, That we vieYV Yvith feelings of no
ordinary regret, the course pursued by President
Pierce iii his appointments to office, thereby indica
ting an entire abandonment of the wishes of a ma
jority of those Yvho eleY-ated him to power—as also
of the principles and policy avowed and proposed in
inducing his friends to buy out a press that fear- his inaugural address, from which all conservative
lessly spoke the truth! Whatever his pretensions,
he has aided in crushing truth and stifling honesty.
I say the Southern Rights party are making pre
tensions they know are false, and I now defy them
to their establishment. True, they have President
Pierce as tlieir friend—his favors are bounteously
bestowed upon them, but does that prove anything
more than that Gen. Pierce is governed by Jef.
Davis ? It does prove something else, but not to the
profit of fire-eaters. It establishes what was often
asserted by both AA'hig and Democratic Union men,
that to place secessionists in office, was to endanger
tlie Government. AY hat easier matter than to effect
their object? The Government will soon bein the
hands of disunionists, if matters continue as they
liave begun. EY-ery office filled by their leaders—
countenanced in their opposition to the Union and
laws of the land by the President, \. hat greater ad.
vantage would they have ? I tell, you Messrs. Edi
tors, it is no idle tale,—it is no assertion re-vamped
for party purposes, Yvhen it is asserted that Georgia
and tlie South will ha\ r e to meet, in yet fiercer strug
gle, that old disunion spirit that has rankled in the
breasts of these agitators.
I write these words, which, before God, I believe
to be true, with a desire that the honest, reflecting
masses may see them, and have their eyes open to
tlie truth. For one, I can neY'cr act Yvith fire-eaters,
no matter what may be their pretensions. They are
enemies, uncompromising enemies of our Govern
ment as it stands, and should be treated as such.
For one, I cannot support the Administration of

though the Yvord may be hideous and sickening to
its enemies, I am, respectfully,
A UNION MAN.
Correspondence of the Southern Recorder.
Smith Countv, Texas, June 3, 1853.
I have a few times given j'ou some account of our
Yvhereabouts, and a description of North Eastern
Texas. AA'ith this part of the country you are now
familiar, hence a further description would he but
an intrusion. You no doubt like to hear occasion
ally from old friends, and you may set me down for
one. As another year's operations have commen
ced, and very far toYvards its consummation, you
no doubt would like to hear of our prospects iu the
far Yvest. In the first place, our present prospects
are any tiling hut flattering, so far as our crops are
concerned. The health of our country is good.
Politics is perfectly dead, though wc are trying to
spring upon the country a new question for Texas—
that of a Bank, or Banks, Yvhich, however, our Con
stitution at present prohibits. AA'ere it not for the
great number of Georgians uoyv in Texas, yyIio
knoYv tlie advantages derivable from such institu
tions, we should anticipate but little success. Our
commercial as well as agricultural interests are ma
terially affected for the want of such facilities. This
YY'iil, however, be made the question in our elec
tions to take place in August, and Yvhich too I am
gratified to learn, is becoming more and more popu
lar every day. The Maine liquor laYv is gaining
ground rapidly; various petitions, I understand,
await the assembling of our Legislature. The sul>-
ject of education is engrossing the public mind
throughout our entire country, and the day is not
far distant when we shall be able to boast of as
good schools as any country affords. The public
mind is much aroused upon the subject of Rail
roads. Several routes have been chartered by our
Legislature, and meetings h;m- been held in vari
ous sections of our State, and books of subscription
arc now being exhibited, and our people Iltvc come
forward Yvith good hearty Yvill and subscribed liber
ally, and Yvearc now congratulating oursch-es upon
the speedy completion of at least two important
roads, viz: one from Orleans, direct, the other
from Yicltsburg. AA'ithout such facilities, our coun
try'can never become what she ought to be. AA’e
are at present laboring under many discourage
ments, owing in the main, to the want of such fa
cilities. Our country presents an appearance at
this time, unequalled since its settlement. I pre
sume no country has suffered more than North Eas
tern Texas has during the present season. The
plough has been almost suspended for the last six
weeks; notan entire Yveek's work has been done
since Yve planted the first grain of com, owing to
the great quantity of rain. During last month it
rained half the time, and none of your little sprin
kles, they Yvere real “Juwhitaker’s”—(a Texas
phrase.) .So far, pretty much the entire cultivation
of crops has been dependent on the hoe. The pre
sent is indeed a gloomy prospect, especially- for the
cotton crop. The frost on the 22(1 of April killed
much cotton, causing much replanting, and the
continued rains and the accumulation of vegetable
matter no doubt will curtail the crop much; for it
is impossible that corn or cotton can groYv w hen
choked Yvith grass and bushes as high as a man's
head, which is the case on nearly every farm in our
country. Should the rains continue a few days
longer, the farming interest must suffer materially,
for the season is too far advanced. AA hat com is
now* freed from sueli incumbrances looks Yvell, and
is now tasseling and silking. If we succeed iu ma
king half crops this season, it can only bs attribu
table to our country’s being new and productive.
To my old friends in Georgia, I would say, if you
arc determined to come to Texas, this present year
is the time: for if you delay much longer, you Yvill
pay much higher for land; lands are improving in
price, and contiguous to the anticipated Rail Roads,
tlieY’ lia-'e risen very- much. Desirable situations
can now be procured at from $1 50 to $3 00 per
acre. Come and look at our country SMITH
men may see the necessity of active vigilance iu
guarding the liberties and happiness of our country.
Resolved 5th, That we propose to our friends of
this Congressional district the name of Gen. Eli
AA'arrkn as a suitable candidate for Congress.
AA'hicli Yvere adopted.
On motion, The Chair appointed David M. Brown,
S. II. J. Sistrunk and James AVaiker a committee

The meeting adjourned.
NATHAN G. LEWIS, Chairman.
Peter S. Humphries, Sec'v.
Fiiion Candidate tor Governor.
AA'e are highly gratified to announce to our read
ers that tlie Union State Convention, at Milledge
ville lias nominated for Governor of Georgia, one
of her most distinguished sons, the Hon. Charles
.J. Jenkins, of Augusta. AA'e have no doubt but
that this nomination will receive the hearty acclaim
of every patriot of Georgia, and at the . same time,
strike terror and dismay into the ranks of our op
ponents.
As a man -Mr. Jenkins’ amiable, social, and mor
al qualities liaY’e strewn his pathway Yvith the flow
ers of friendship and peace; as a lawyer few can
boast of being his equal; as a statesman, though
modest, and retiring, he posesses correct and com
prehensive views of the theory and practical opera
tions of government—especially of our form of goY--
ernment—and as a politician and patriot, there is
no mail more deserving the confidence of the peo
ple, or who Yvill discharge the executive duties of
the government YYith greater ability or fidelity 7 than
Charles J. Jenkins.
Mr. Jenkins is well known to the people of Geor
gia. He lias frequently serY 7 ed the people of Rich
mond county in our State Legislature, where his
abilities as a legislator gave him influence and p,nv-
or. He was at several consecutive sessions of the
Legislature elected Speaker of tlie House, and he
always discharged liis duties with dignity and im
partiality. He was offered a seat in President
Fillmore’s Cabinet, as 8 -cretary of the Interior,
but this office he declined. But his most distin
guished service to the people and the country, was
rendered in the Georgia Convention of 1350. It is
known to the people, that the celebrated report and
resolutions, adopted by that Convention, and famil
iarly and appropriately known as the “Georgia Plat
form” Yvas prepared by Mr. Jenkins. In those
stormy days when fanaticism at the North and ultra-
ism at tin- South, Yvere shaking the very foundations
of the Government and threatening it Yvith destruc
tion—it yyvls then, that Air. Jenkins put forth his
intellectual strength and illumined the darkness of
error, by rearing a beacon-light to guide us away
from the rocks and breakers which threatened us
with ruin and disgrace. He it was Yvho constructed
the “ Georgia Platform,” and the people have done
wisely, in placing him upon if, .where he Yvill nobly i
stand in defence of its principles and tlie people’s
rights.
AA’ith such a leader yvc have nothing to fear.—
His name is a tower of strength to our cause, and
Yve call upon the conservative men of all parries, to
rally around the standard of Hon. Chrles J. Jen
kins. —Savannah Republican.
First Congressional District.
Time hurries on, wirh a resistless, unremitting
stream. Soon the people ofthe district Yvill he call
ed to the polls, to elect a representative to Congress;
and yet, at this late day, there lias been no concert
of action among the people, in order to nominate a
suitable candidate for this responsible office. Pri
mary meetings have been held in some of the coun
ties, and these lun-e expressed their personal
preferences for certain individuals. AA’e doubt,
however, the expediency of each county haY-ing a
candidate, or of having more than one candidate for
each party. The difficulty attending such a state
of things can only be remedied, as it has been rem
edied before, by having a certain day, not too dis-
t tiit, fixed for holding a district convention. Let
the people call primary meetings and appoint thffir
delegates to such a convention : and after a full, free
and friendly interchange i f their views and opinions,
let those delegates nominate a candidate in whom
the people have confidence, and whom they will
delight to honor. This is the only proper mode of
proceeding Yvitli the hope of concentrating the
strength of the district upon a candidate whom we
can elect. Tiiis proposition accords with the views
of many friends, who liave communicated with
us upon this subject, from Y 7 arious parts of the
district. As to the proper time and place for
holding the Convention, we would respectifullv
suggest, the third Tliurday (21st) of July, as the
time, and HolmesviUe, Appling County, being cen
tral and convenient, as the place for the Conven
tion to be held. If these suggestions meet the ap
probation of the people, Yve hope they will be fol
lowed by immediate action on their part, and they
will proceed at once to the appointment of dele
gates. If the time and place named arc unsuitable,
let it be signified in time to prevent confusion.
Our preference, as o ta can Jidate, js known to be
in fav.>r of our esteemed fellow-citizen, Air. B ir-
tow ; and Yve think Yve have unmistakeable signs
from communications which Yve haY-e published,
Rail Road from Eatonton to Covington.
At a Rail Road meeting held at Shady Dale, on
Saturday, the 10th inst., the folloYYing resolutions
were adopted:
Resolved, That a Rail Road be built from Eafon-
ton to Covington by Yvay of Shady Dale and New-
bem.
Resolved, That we apply to the next Legislature
for a Charter to run said road.
Resolved, That Yve regard Yvith interest and plea
sure the commencement of the Rail Road enter-
prize connecting Lawrenceville with Covington,
which is but an extension ofthe route we notv pro
pose building, and which Yve regard as the com
mencement of that chain of intercommunication
developing and connecting Northern Georgia Yvith

Resolved, That a committee of three be appointed
to open a correspondence YYith the Central Kail

ration they will give in this undertaking.

The American steamship HumboU has arrived at
New York from Havre, which port siie left on

Liverpool Cotton Market.—Since the sailing
of the Asia on the 4th inst.. the prices of Cotton has
continued unchanged. The sales on Monday the
6th were 6,000 bales, and on Tuesday tlie 7th, «>,-
000 bales, malting 11,000 bales for tlie tivo days.—
There was a small demand from speculators and ex
porters.
Messrs. AA’right & Gandy’s circular quotes pri
vate sales of Cotton at JJ. decline, but most of the
circulars quote the market unchanged. At Man
chester prices were easier. It is believed that the
exports may exceed those of last year two and a
quart "r millions of pounds.
The London Money market has improved.
England and South Carolina.—The iniprision-
mpnt of British colored seamen in South Carolina
will sin r.iy be brought before Parliament.
Th - Humbolt brings one hundred and twenty-five
passengers, among whom are Airs. Fremont, and R.

Preparation for AA t ak.—Tlie Eastern news look
warlike. The English Alediterranean fleet has been
ordered to the Dardanelles, and their Channel fleet
has been ordered to the Mediterranean. The
French fleet has arrived .At Besiea Bay.
The Prussian forces are marching towards Malte-

Chinese Rebellion.
The Church Journal, is speaking of the Chinese
Rebellion, thinks there is a religious element in it.
It says:—
“Some of the rebel proclamations'—containing
references to Noah’s Flood, the deliverance of the
Israelites f r ,iiu Egypt and the Incarnation of Je
sus Christ—as also various denunciations against
image-wbrship, seem to show thatja religions ms well
as a revolutionary element, has bf ; m breathed into
the movement, and render more t. an probable tic
rumor, that members of the late‘Chinese Christ tin
Union,’ have made their way from IIong-Kong in
to the disturbed district, and are participating in
the effort to expel the Alanchow dynasty of foreign
conquers.”

Rain.
AA'e still haY'e it in our power to inform our
friends below and elsewhere, that the crops of
Cherokee are fair and promising. It is true the
corn is small, but it is growing very fast. At one
time there Yvas a prospect of a short crop, but since
that, yvc luiY-e had an abundance of rain, and thare
is now no danger. AA 7 e believe the crop Yvill be
equally as good as last year.
Oats are turning out finely, and instead of cutting
them witli “Sheep shears,” owing to the rain some
time hack, it will take a strong arm and a sharp
blade to throw them.
AA'heat never Yvas better. Tlie difficulty is, there
is so much made, and the crops are so fine, it is
doubtful Yvhether it can all be cut. Double the
amount Yvill be made this t ear than last, no doubt
of that.
Upon the whole wc have no fears of a famine or
a material increase in the price of produce for the
next year.—Dalton Times.
Altered Bill.—A genuine one-dollar bill of the
Bank of Savannah, ingeniously altered to a fire, was
successfully passed at one of our city banks, a day
or two since. Such frauds are often perpetrated,
but onlv require careful inspection to detect the
swindler. The public should be guarded against
further attemps ot this character.
