TUESDAY. JULY 2, 1872.
Georgia Democratic Convention
assembled at Atlanta on the 26th
ult., was a large, able and repre-
sentative body. No shade of opin
ion, on the present political situation
was untepresenied. And, of course,
the utmost discordancy of opinion
manifested itself freely in the inter
changes and out-door discussions.
The common feeling and motive
overrode all antagonisms of thought, j
inducing a harmonious result, thatj
must gratify every patriot.
To us, the disposition to harrnon-1
ize and unify the Party, to waive |
ty does not blur the prospect. Mod
eration, mutual deference and con-
cession of opinion in home politics,
constitute the desideratum of the
hour. Let selfish ambition and per
sonal favoritism be thrust aside.—
Let our counsellors excel in pru
dence and our candidates in merit.
In shotl, let us be worthy of the
great things in store for us, and

Th\ Convention.
Our Atlanta correspondent, says
the Augusta Cdastitutionalisl, gives,
in the main, a correct view of the
character, temper, and action of the
late Stale Convention, and of the
effects to result from it., It is true
that the Democratic organization
“remains intact and perfect and
perfect, and stronger to-day than it
lias before been since the war.”

were used, to commit the Party to ‘ ,v, ''*>t*i
the future action of the Baltimore
Convention, and consent that the
Cincinnati movement be endorsed,
if it should be deemed expedient.
So in the election of Delegates. Mod
erate Conservatives, leaning strong
ly to Cincinnati, were chosen, with
out instructions. The Delegation
embraces a large amount of the
known talent and character, of the
Slate—prudent, discreet, firm men.
One vote only was cast against the
reported list.
So in the contest for seats, from
Fulton county. It was well known
that the first delegates appointed
were for alliance with Cincinnati,
and that they only were legally au
thorized to represent their county.
Yet a Committee of Conservatives
recommended that both be sealed,
and many Conservatives voted that
way. Avowed “straight-outs” ad
vocated the rejection of the last
chosen Delegates, who were known
to be “straight-out,” and many anti-
Creeley men voted to exclude them,
on the score of right and precedent.
The result was a stern rebuke to
patty insubordination, and a proper
one. Yet it was administered so
qqietly, that all parties acquiesced
cheerfully.
The general conclusion from the
session is that the vole of Georgia
will be cast lor Greeley at Baltimore,
and the Party will be compact, har
monious and triumphant, at the polls.

At a meeting of the Executive '

day, it was resolved, that a Conven

in the city of Atlanta, on Wednc3 |
day, the 24th day of July r,pxt, at I

men to Baltimore hampered, and
perhaps crippled with instructions ;
but it was necessary to select good
men, and this has been done; and
the people here are satisfied, and the
people every where else are satisfied.

Address of Governor Randolph.
Trenton, June 27.—The Demo
cratic convention met to-day and
Chas. Haight, (Greeleyite) was ap
pointed temporary chairman, and
Governor Randolph was elected
permanent chairman.
Governor Randolph, on taking
the chair, said :
“At this time, when our Demo
cratic brethren in other States seem
to have become touched with the
fever of political revolution, our ac
tion,—ordinarily discreet, temper
ate and dispassionate—will be look
ed to with more than ordinary in
terest. In proportion as other Slates
have given hasty utterances of opin
ion and preferences, we should give
sober and thoughtful utterances.
The Baltimore' Convention will be
composed of men who have higher
motives than merely to beat Grant.
These motives will be to beat a cor
rupt and despotic administration—
a Chief Magistrate who has brought
his worse military habits of thought
and action into the administration of
civil affairs. With Grantism beat
en, we know no worse can come,
and we believe better can be had
than we shall obtain al Baltimore.
All we deem desirable does not now
seem probable. Unless some un
expected reaction occurs, the action
of the convention is a forgone con
clusion. Indorsed at Baltimore, I
deem Greeley’s eleclion assured;
defeated theie, his chances are un
worthy of attention. It is well
known that my judgment has been
against the indorsement of the Cin
cinnati ticket.”
The Governor proceeded to state
the purpose of the recent Fifth
Avenue Conference. He claimed
that this conference was not a fiasco,
but a success—because it concen
trated reliable information as to the
weakness or strength of the Cincin
nati ticket in neatly every State,
and gave a basis for a decision that
no new’ ticket could be now’ named
with political advantage*
“I think a more suitable nomina
tion and a more acceptable candi
date to the great body of the Dem
ocratic voters could be found. I
know that we shall be charged with
placing our life-long opponent al
the head of our column in a day of
almost assured victory. All this is
true, but it is equally true that Gree
ley will only take the leadership of
the party that meets him after he
has pronounced himself fully in fa
vor of such old-fashioned Demo
cratic principles as hostility to cen
tralization, opposition to Federal in
terference in State and local affairs,
condemnation of the suspension of
the writ of habeas corpus, full sup
port of amnesty, rigid adherence to
civil service reform, opposition to
bayonet election laws, aud the like.
Now, if Greeley can accommodate
himself to such uncompromising
Democratic vienfs as .these, we can
accept his conversion, even if it be
a trifle sudden and unexpected.”
In conclusion, the Governor said
“they had to contemplate, at most,
the certain endorsement of Greeley
at’Baltimore, and with it, the as
sured defeat of Grantism—a great
victory of itself because if Greeley
had uo loftier views, no greater iu«
telligence than Grant, he would be
powerless where Grant’s power is
almost without limit. Greeley would
be the occupant of a high office,
but his power to abuse it would be
jealously guarded by both friends
and foes. His might be the place,
but the power, with Grant defeat
ed, will be re-delegated to the peo
ple and their representatives.
Ohio. — The Slate Democratic
Convention of Ohio yesterday passed
resolutions instructing her delegates
to Baltimore to vote for Greeley and
Brown, which makes the entire
West a unit for the Cincinnati nom
inations.
