The mU for a Convention to nominate n candidate for Governor give* bnt abort notion, and it ia feared it -will b i very inconvenient for aome of the coun ties to aend delegates. It is highly important that the con vention shall be full, and that it shall be a fair representation of the Democracy of the State. Several prominent Democrats of the State last evening requested us to urge all the counties to send delegates, eo that tre may have a full representation in the Convention. And in order to be sure of this, it was suggested that, in all oasos where it will be inconvenient to send delegates, the Democrats of the several oountiee appoint their Democratic Rep resentatives in the Legislature to repre sent them in the Convention; and that oounties having no Democratic represen tatives, and not able to send delegates, appoint the Democratic members of the Legislature from adjoining counties. We think, under the circumstan ces, it would not have been amiss, if the Democratic mem hers of the Legislature had assumed the responsibility and nomiuatod a candidate, and that it would not bo inadvisable if they would yet do so, and that sp< edily, without dolay. Under ordinary circum stances, we shonid favor a Convention of delegates fresh from the people to mnkc this nomination; bnt aa the time is now so short, we would have no hesitation in saying that it should, in this instance, he made by the Democrats of the two Honses of the Legislature in joint con vention. It should, in our opiuion, have been done last evening. This is our judgment, If, in this way, the namo of aome able and true representative of the principles of the party be presented, for the high and responsible office of Gover nor, we have not the slightest doubt it will be heartily acquiesoed iu by the Democrats of tbc State. If this step should be token at onee, it would be well to have a committee of the members appointed to forthwith opcu a correspondence nitii Demociats iu every couuty in the State, to have the news circulated as quickly and as exten sively as possible, so that > /nil role may be polled in every county. There ib not time enough between now and the day of the election, to cironlato tho nows of a nomination, and secure as full a vote as the party is capable of poll ing—let alone tho assembling of county meetings, to'eppoint delegates,aud the nomination not to be mode till the 6tli December. Prompt action is neces sary. Eternal vigilance is the prico of Liberty. We are of opinion that it would be woll, if this course were adopted by the Democr its in the Legislature without auy longer delay. Wicked Threats—The New Rad ical Rebellion. The Era of yeetorday calls tho passage oi the Election Bill a “second revolu tionary measure," aud says it will “result in troublo and disaster to to tho State. “It vrtil establish two Stato Governments, each claiming recognition m tho constituted authority. This will call iu tha iuterveutiou or the National Government Ib that eteat. Governor Couley will be Bttatatncil. He will bo sunUiucd because tho bill under which he ia sought to be ousted, ia uuoouhU- tuUuual and revolutionary." This is a threat for another Radical Rebellion. Not able to do anything also, tho Era, doubtless speaking for Benjamin Couloy, as well us the leaders of tho Radical party, makes threats, and gives notice of an in tout ion to make trouble if they can. The Radical party, and its leaders aud organs, are the party and the advocates of revolution and lawlessness, and the plunderers of the people. The Era and Conley, and all the ravenous crew, are in a rage at the prospect of losing their ohaaco to further fatten upon the suffer ings of our people. The whole course of the party, aud its leaders and organs, from first to last, has been charac terised by on utter disregard of law, of propriety, of publio decency, of fudhlduol rights and pnblic good.— They have overridden and trampled under foot the Constitution and laws of the United iStstes and of evei/ State, ooiinty and city, where, throngh the uid of bayonets and shameless frauds, they have come into possession of the reins of government; and now, when an outraged people,who have long submitted patiently to their plunderings and oppressions, are about to rid themselves of these cormo rants, in a perfectly lawful and peaceable wily, they raise a howl and otter threats; and do to with aa audacity which indP cates that they consider themselves as hairing a prescriptive right to g.iaw out car vitals forever. intend to pr&ctioe the same thing in the North, if necessary; and no better evi dence of this is needed than the arro gance and threats of Conley and the Era. Verily, it is time for the people to wake up to a sense of their danger. It is the intention of General Grant and his party to convert this country * \to a despotism and erect a dynasty over it. They do not intend to allow a fair election for President next year. They intend to in timidate the South and carry it for Grant, by force, fraud and bayonets; and they Tlu Public Printer. Wjb re82>ectfully ask tho Constitution these questions: Would not its proprietors willingly take five or ten dollar jobs of printing from individuals, at a clear profit of 25 per cent., or 20, or 15 per cent., or less? Would they refuse such work on the ground thut there was not enough profit in i ? Again; Would they not take from an individual a job of printing amounting to a large tram—say fifty or a hundred thousand dollars—for a clear profit of even Jlte per cent. tq»on the cost? Would they refuse such a job because the profit would not be sufficient? And further: if they would not refuse such a job, bat would be willing to ac cept it for an individual at a *mall profit, why not for tho State ? Why desire the hardworking, tax-paying, impoverished, down-trodden and oppressed people, to pay them a larger profit than they would undertake similar work for iu the case of a private individual ? Aud still further: if they would refuse the State TriiitiDg at a profit of five per cent.,would they also refuse an individual job of like magnitude for a profit of five per oent? And still further: if they reply that they would refuse to take any job of the magnitude of the State Printing, either for tho State or for un individual, at a clearly ascertained profit of five per cent how small a profit would they put upon such a job, and accept it, if offered to them by an individual, rather than see tho work go to some other office, and they lose it? Come right out and answer squarely, so there can be no mistake about what you say. And while on this subject wo will fur ther remark that wo hare heretofore in quired what motive prompted several pa pers in the State, all in unison, to speak out against a reduction of the exorbit ant compensation now allowed by law to the Stute Printer. The jour nals we named are comiug back and answering very emphatically, and some al most indignantly,that they have no interest in thejeombination which claims the Dem ocratic nomination for*8tate Print*" ; but not one of them has answered our inqui ry, and wo doubt if one of them can give us a satisfactory answer. We desire to know why they oppose a reduction of the extravagant and unnecessary amount paid to the State Printer under existing law, and why they favor the continuance of a system which squanders the people’s money ? It is not sufficient for theso journals to answer that, in the opinion of their ed itors, tho present compensation is not' *o high, and that they think tho State Prin ter is justly entitled to 30 per cent, profit on tho work. Admit thut they honestly think so, what motive prompts them to nay ho just now ? Why should they care whether the work is done for less, or not? What objection have they to its being done for less ? What is the interest or motive which now prompts them to cry out agaiust a reduction ? Ought they not to be willing to save the tax payers from twenty-five to fifty thousand dol lars if it eon be done ? They know the work can bo done for a great deal less than it has heretofore cost, for thoy all know that the Manager of The Sun Pub lishing Compauy has offered to do so, and enter into any sort of bond for the faith ful performance of tho work. Then, why urge the payment of the old extravagaut prices ? Will these journals answer us on the point here presented ? It is not enough for them to say they have no in terest in the matter. Why do they op pose a reduction of the cost ? And now a word os to The Sun. The Constitution thinks we are “peevish and uncharitable.” It utterly fails to com prehend that we are acting wholly on principle, and have no selfish, peevish, or uncharitable motives whatever. W have said before, aud now repeat, that wo arc not trying to defeat tho coiubiuutioii in their candidacy for tho priutiug; but we do wish to have the work done with out unnecessary expenso to the people. We asked the Constitution a question, day before yesterday, which it has not re plied to in tho way wo expected. Will its editors, or will Mr. Hemphill aud Mr. Burke, answer the questions we propound to-day, fairly and squarely ? And will they further answer: if they are willidg to have a law passed so guarding aud restricting the work to be performed; so exuctly defining the “cost” of the work that the State cann it be defrauded; and will they then say what per cent upon that “cost” they are willing to do the work for ? If they favor retrenchment, let them show their hand fully. Capt. Jackson's Speech. We very cheerfully comply with the request of Capt Jackson, and lay his speech sustaining Conley’s veto before our readers this morning, lat ho may have a fair hearing. Wo have only to repeat our regret that such are his \-ews, and say that however siuoerely ho may entertain them, he does not, iu this re spect, represent tho views of his con stituency. Capt. Henry Jackson's Speech Sustaining Judge Conley's Veto of the Election Util. Editors Sun: As mv remarks and vote E i the occasion of the passage of the tion Bill over the veto of the Hon. Benjamin Conley, exercising the fun tion* of the Execntivo Department, iu ley, notwithstanding, claims to be Goy- views and predictions may be wrong; but if right, then, in the words of one of my frienc’s, lam most “terribly right.” Hoping that all newspapers that deem it proper to remark upon my course will publish my ppeech as made, f am, very truly, yours, Henry Jackson. Mr. 8pea er Ft my earliest n- (ancy I ha* * had instilled info my mind and h'-art tho docrinc of self-reliance. Whilst tho views of friends more able than I, are always allowed due considera tion, yet if, when analyzed in tho cruci ble of my own judgment, I l»elieve them not founded upon principle and reason, I discard them. I take my opin ions from no maD, or set of men, from no political party or association, simply because they nre the views of personal ffiends or political allies. If when test ed by my judgment I approve, I adopt them, otherwise I refuse them. No po litical party is strong enough by its fiowns to make me act contrary to my conscien tious convictions of duty. I am not a Democrat because my friends are Dem ocrats; I am not a Democrat because my eneales are Republicans; but I am a Democrat because my judgment approves of the principles npon which the Demo cratic party was originally founded, and which now give it life. Deeply regret ting, therefore, that my reason cannot approve the coarse which a large majori ty of my party will* iu all i robabilty, adopt, in reference to the veto message of Mr. Conley; sad at heart that my feelings are at war with my judgment, yet duty, as pointed out by my conscience, impera tively directs me to dissent from them upon this most solemn occusion. To define clearly ray position, it is ne cessary for me to recur to tbe course of this General Assembly upon the resigna tion of Governor Bullock. Mr. Cam ming of Richmond, offered for adoption the report of the majority of the com mittee to whom was referred the question os to the exact position of Mr. Conley. In this report it was urged that Conley was not entitled to exercise the functions of the Executive Department after the Honorable L. N. Trammell was elected to the Presidency of the Sen ate; that the Constitution provides that “In case of the Death, Resignation or Disability of the Governor, the President of the Senate shall exercise the Executive Powers of the Government until such Disability be removed, or a successor is elected aud qualified;” that the Executive Powers of Government followed the office of the President of the Senate, and not the man; that Mr. Trammell, upon his election, was entitled to discharge these duties. I was satisfied, then, that these positions were correct. I am more than convinced now. Having sworn to sup port tho Cons itution of my State, I was compelled to support these resolutions. They were voted down by a large major ity, and the mioori * resolutions were adopted, under which Conley has been recognized as tho “Executive Depart ment.” I never have recognized him; I never will; I look npon him as a usurper. Were I in his position I should at once vacate the office so wrongfully held. Had this General Assembly deemed it wise to make the contest that was inevi table upon this basis, the earth would have sunk from beneath my feet ere I would have been moved from my posi tion. But, upon the ground of policy and e.cj>edicnci/, tho Democratic party pursued a different course. I looked upon- that ns a question of princip'e, and I would not conshbr policy and expediency', I look upon the sub ject-matter of to-day’s consideratio l under the Constitution as purely one of policy and expediency, if the election law itself be constitutional. Tho Constitu tion prescribes that “ The General As sembly shall ha*.e power to provide »y law for filli g unexpired terms by a Spe cial Election.” It is a position that ud- rnits of strong argument t hat tho reference here had is to a general law upon tho sub ject of filling unexpired terms. The Con stitution also says: “ Laws have a Gen eral Operation, aud no General Law af fecting Private Rights Rhall be varied, in any particular case, by special legisla tion,” Ac., Arc. Does not this contem plated election law come within the in hibitions of this section ? Are we not legislating for a particular case? But if this law be constitutional, the power conferred upon the Genoral As sembly by the Constitution in its provis ion in reference to filling unexpired terms, is purely a privilege. No one that has yet preseuted views upon this subject has claimed that the Constitution has made it an imperative duty to order this elec tion. If the Constitution so directed, all of us who have sworn to support said Constitution would be bound to urge an election, and 1 would give the measure my full support, as I did the majority resolutions of the gentleman from llicl - mond. But the Constitution loavt • this matter optional with the General Assem bly. The real and only question then for our consideration is as to th^wisdom of holding this election at this'critical time in the history of our State. Let us survey the political horizon.— Every Northern aud Western State i. which therohavo been elections this fall with the exception of New Jersey, I be lieve, have sustained the Radical'admin istration by increased majorities. Con gress is ou tho eve of assembling. Tho Kuklux Committee, so-called, which has been so persistent in its efforts to pro cure testimony iu the South, is about to report. We cannot inaugurate a newly elected Governor before the middle of January, eveu if no opfio&ition is mode. The regular quadrennial election takes place iu November next We have a two-third i vote in the Senate and in the House. We can, by suoh laws as we see proper to enact, biud Conley hand and foot. He will be a usurper in chains.— If we have au election in December, as proposed, we will necessarily have elec tion riots, broken ballot boxes, blood sheil, Acc., &o., if there is auy opposi tion. We cannot look for aid to the Democratic party of the North, for rea sons already state!. It was the anti-war party, and'I am afraid that with the fall of the “stars and bars” it lost its prestige and strength as a national party. We are advised of the foot that Mr. Conley intends to hold his position until ex pelled by the decision of the Courts, or by force. The public of this State* are weary with fightiug over theories not involving principles or prac tical results. Now, let us truco out the practical workiugs of this Election Bill. Suppose the election held and Conley refuses to send in the returns, upon the ground stated in his vetp message, what then ? Impeach him ? How long will it take to do this, and what will it cost the State? Will the Federal Governmert allow him to be removed upon an im peachment hosed on a construction of our Constitution, to say the least of it, doubtful ? Does the public he..rt of Georgia wish for an impeachment trie ‘ with its dangers and excitement ? Again: Suppose the election returns sent in, and our new Governor inaugurated and Con- the House of Representatives, have oc casioned some criticism from my friends and from the pro v, I ask, as a matter of justice to myself, as well as to the official position which I occupy, that yon pub lish my sixjech herein enclosed. It is substantially os it was delivered. I have no regrets upon my course—not one word to tako bock. I stand upon tho record aa made! I sincerely trust my ernor, what then ? Shall we recognise the now Governor ? If we do, two ad ministrations tre created, each claiming to be the ri »htfr’ one. We then pi e ourselves, . . fours, upon the Doi.’s Rhode Island ca. 3, whore the Supreme Court in those good old times when hon est men aduruiater'd the different de partments of the Government held that where there was a collision between two ad- miui^t|»tions in a 8tute, each claiming to he the rightful one, it became the duty of the Federal Government to sustain by its military arm, that administration which it believe ! to be legal. Are we not then walking iut> the lion’s month ? Are we rot about to give to the General Govern ment a better pretext than it has ever had before, to interfere with our Htate institutions? How ruinous would anoth er interfe *ence be ? How little danger with our two thirds vote in both houses, from Conley ? Should the newly elected Go/error appeal to tho Courts, when can & final decision be had ? With the ut most possible speed, only sometime in October or Novemlier next, while the regular quadrennial election takes place in November. I look upon the policy of holding this contemplated election as a fatal political mistake. We, as the representatives of the people, are not sent here to be actua ted by passion, revenge and hatred. I have about as little sympathy with the Republican party as any Democrat in this House, yet, guiaed by a conscientious re gard for my duty, I am compelled to put my face against this mistaken policy.— Put me upon the record 1 My conscious ness of right is so strong that the party whip will crack in vain, and public opin ion may condemn, but not one “jot or one tittle” will I bo removed from my position. How many of us urged tho expulsion of tho negroes by the last General Assembly ? How few few of us now approve that course? Who can estimate the material damage done to Georgia by that one error ? I urged the course at the time. I 6ee my error now. Are we not about again to make a fatal mistake ? God gran*, that I may be mistaken. I feel, most deeply, the position in which I am placed. But conscience bids me on, and I must obey its dictates. Feeling formerly controlled me—my judgment does now. I can go with no party when I am convinced it is wroDg. I am a Democrat, and will always be found at my post when I approve that party’s policy; when I am convinced that the Republican party is right, my duty is to support, upon that occasion, its pol icy. Much lias been said about being afraid of bayonets. Well, Mr. Speaker, I am about as little afraid of bayonets aa any gentleman upon this floor. I liave faced about as many, and have beard as many bullets whistle, perhaps, as any one that now hears me. I sacrificed the best portion of my youth upou the altars of my State in defense of Southern liberty, and am ready‘again when my suffering and much wronged country demands it, to face bayonets, bullets, even at the sacri fice of my poor life. But there is nothing in this reference to bayo nets. What gentleman npon the floor does not know that bayonets in the shape in which they come, if they come at all, do not bring personal danger to any one. It is tho in j ui j to the material prosper ity of our State that I fear from bayon ets. Dig deep down into tno pnblic heart of the people of this State aud you will find that an election is not wmfced. Would that tho.se heroes who live in story and song, whose bones lay whitening from the Potomac to the Gulf—monu ments more durable than brass, to the great fight for Constitutional liberty— could rise from their silent graves aud advise us now! We nre legislating, not only for the present but for future gene rations. I pray God that I am wrong. I am open to conviction. I will vote to set aside the veto, if any gentleman will show me any practical good to be ob tained theieby. I lmve given this sub ject constant reflection for the last two weeks. I have come to but one conclu sion, which my vote will show. Earnest- iy hoping that I am mistaken, I can but discharge what I consider my duty. Agricultural Education. We publish the following extract from tho address of tho President of the Uni versity of Minnesota, as a subject of in terest in our State at tbe present time, showing what views in reference to this matter are held in the West: In tho West generally the wise plan has been adopted of connecting the new in dustrial schools with the State Universi ties. This was the obvious and natural course, particularly in those States whose Universities had already been charged with tho establishment of a department of agriculture, as was the case in Min nesota. It is a remarkable fact that very many of the great agricultural colleges of Germany, which were organized and for a long time conducted separately and in dependently, have been of late united with some University. I am able ntrtv to recall those of Poppelsdorf, now a part of the University of Bonn; the schools near Berlin, Halle, Jena and Leipsic, now united with those Universities respective ly—atfd the great schools at Eldena in connection with the University of Qreifa- wald. It was not merely economy which dictated these changes. The education of the separate schools was found to be oue-sided and incomplete; and tho grad uates did not take rank in society with those of the Universities. Under the now arrangement, the students in agri culture matriculated into the University —they use and enjoy all the general advantages and apparatus of the University, they are University men —and if on graduation the agri culturist finds himself ou a lower level than the lawyer, soldier or physician, it is his individual fault. The great Scot tish Agricultural College, on the whole the most successful one in Great Britain, was from the first part aud parcel of the Uuiversity of Ediuburg. I rejoice that in Minnesota we have recognised the unity and community of all professions, and that our educated fanners and artisans are not to be shut out from tho great republic of letters, science and ark Beginning, then, in Minnesota, the novel business of industrial education, you ore entitled to demand of us upou what principles and by what methods we propose to conduct it Happily we have no principles to propose. Fiduciaries of a trust, wo merely propose to do our duty according to principles laid down for us in the law. I want no better ones. Our prescribed business is the libcftil and practical edut tion of the industrial clas ses. Of our methods I will apeak briefly hereafter—meantime let us inquire a little more narrowly what may bo meant by liberal and practical education. "The latter, at least, is plain enough, if we do not myatify it That education is practical which taaohee one how to do hit work.*— How to do our work ?” some one will say, “we know that already. We need uo college professors to teach oa how to plow and sow, ta fodder cattle, to dig ditches and make fences.” That is true. Tho manual operations of the form ore best learned on the farm, and always will be. I do not need to go into a minute statement of the particulars wherein we need tho light of science to illuminate our darkness. We all know that oar farming is a matter of cut and tty. We have few settled principles.— We have no agreement as to rotation of crops. We have no economy of fertili zers. In fact it is a mooted point wheth er we shall leave our manures where na ture does, on the surface, or plow them under. We pretend to no knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of domestic animals, and our remedies for their diseases are worthy of the Hottentots. We are at the mercy of f horde of enemies, the mst, the blight, the mildew, the bugs of all kinds, and know not how to oppose them. And so on. The things I now speak of are those which depend on sci ence, just as the operations of medicine and surgery depend on science. We can teach science in schools. We have alrea - dy many noble examples of scientific farmers who have acquired this knowlege in the intervals of work, our Allens and Geddeses and Harrises and Sheldons. A school is not the only place in which to learn science, bnt if yon wish to teftch large numbers economically then you must have schools. The success of Eu ropean schools of agriculture has placed their value and feasibility beyond all question. If these views are correct, our practical education of the fanner will result in his technical instruction in applying science to agriculture. * * * Any system of ed ucation, however, which contemplates the farmer merely as a tiller of the soil would be a very mistaken and defective one. The farm has higher uses than to bear harvests and nourish man and beast. There is a nobler crop than any that was ever stored in cellar or barn. * * The chief use of the farm is to furni »h a home. I speak uow of tjj© small farms, whose Lumber I hope may never grow less. The small farmer, if be is a wise man, does not expect t • be rich. He cannot do it and live os a civilized man ought His business is a lottery. The day he is ready to sow there comes a storm, or his best team horse lies down and dies. All sum mer long he is balanced between hope ami fear. Floods may drown his crops; t m drouth may parch it up; the frost may nip his corn in the milk. In good years lie only makes np the losses of the bad ones. The men who make much money on small farms do so by dicker and jockeying and speculation. No, the average farm is not the place to get rich on, bnfc the best place under the whole sky to raise up children. If economy be practiced the farm yields food, clothing, shelter, a needful supply. The very un certainty of the farmers income is itself an educating power, teaching patience, and self-denial. Above all, the farm yields varied employment and innocent diversion. For from the excitements of the town and its demoralizing sights and sounds, under the open heaven, in the presence and company of parents and relatives, the children grow op in blessed ignorance of vice. I do not think there is any school so good for a young man os to work in the fields with a brave, prudent and wise farmer. It is a mis fortune that meclianics’ sons do not gen erally work in the company of their fathers. The farmer’s children spend their nights at borne; and the wint«r evenings around the mother’s work table are the blessedest school time ever offered on earth. A second caution is against expecting too great a number of candidates f »r thorough scientific education in agr cul- turc. We have no such demand as ex ists in Europe for experts in forestry or gardening. We have no great landed proprietors needing stewards and ten ants, and may the day be far distant when we shall have them. I have little doubt but that the manufacturing and building arts will at first make greater demands upon us than the farming interests. So much have we to say for the industrial branch of the University. The University has other interests equally dear, but she will know no favorites. All arts shall find a home within her walls, all faithful students will find her an alma mater.— We have the beginnings of what may be come a great institution of learning, the centre of the scientific and literary ac tivity of the State, the pride of the whole people. Let me bespeak from this great body its countenance and support. The Uuiversity is part and parcel of your sys tem of publio instruction, and can only live in vital connection with it. It must grow, can only grow along with it. Our success is inseparably bound up with that of your common schools, your high schools, and your normal schools.— Throw, then, yonr strong arms arouDd them all. Equip and furnish them gen erously, as you have already begun.— Link them in your affections, with hearth-stone and roof-tree. By God’s grace they shall yield a grander harvest uian ever yet was garnered from your fields—a race of strong-armed, high- souled men and women. UJaUfje*.
