Chinese gongs and pewter spoons! ‘Let us have peace.” 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 -V 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.” blessings beyond our deserts will befall us.

But it is equally true that 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.

Call for State Democratic Convention., Atlanta, Ga., June2G, 1S72. ! At a meeting of the Executive ' Committee of the State, liHd this ! day, it was resolved, that a Conven tion of the Democratic party be held in the city of Atlanta, on Wednc3 | day, the 24th day of July r,pxt, at I 12o’clock m., in the Capitol build- 1 vention to declare in favor of Gree ley and Brown. It was not neces sary to declare in favor of abiding the action of the Baltimore Conven tion. It was not necessary to send 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. The Democratic party of Georgia is preserved. Nothing un-Demo- ing in Atlanta, for the purpose of j eralic or unpatriotic has been done, nominating an Electoral Ticket, and : The organization remains intact and a candidate for Governor, Counties 'perfect, a..d stronger to-day than it - ! has before been since the war. will be entitled to the usual repre j sentation.

Adjourned sine die. , Sew Jersey Democratic State Couventien. 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.
