M O’ 1 r«BU All the Bailrocd* centering it thin point, with connecting rand* in the State, have agreed to return the Delegates to the Democratic Convention, which as sembles in this city cm the 6th inst, freo of charge—the Delegates paying fnl 1 (are inooming. The Voorliees gnggestion Again. A few days ago we published the im portant suggestion of Hon. Daniil W. Voorhbes, of Indiana, for the call of a preliminary General Democratic Conven tion, in advance of the Convention to nominate candidates for the offices of President and Vice-President next year, with a view to agree, first, upon a line of policy and programme of action to be pursued In order to secure Unity and Harmony in the Party in the approach ing oampaign—and Men to call a General Convention of all those who are willing to join in the contest on tbs programme thus agreed to, to nominate candidates npon it. This suggestion we commended as eminently wise and proper. We see from onr exchanges that it has met with approv al from several high quarters. In another column we give what oar oo temporary of the Southern Banner says of it The more we think of it, in all its bearings, the more we sre impressed with its judi- ciousness; and we, therefore, again urge it upon the consideration of Domocruts everywhere. It is a matter of the ntmost importance that the defenders and supporters of Free Institutions in this country, in this the day of their trial, shall ytrsl agree up on that line of action on which unity can be secured, iu their rescue and perpetu ation. When this line of action is agreed upon, then lot the Nominating Conven tion be charged with no daty bat the se lection of the standard-bearers. This course will eschew tiro great evil of swapping principles fur men, or mak ing a Platform to auit particular candi dates. The banner will drat be hoiaied, and then the ableet and truest men to uphold it be actuated. We, also, repeat what we asserted the other day, whioh was, that all that is nec essary fur a oomplete Democratic victory next year is for uuity aud harmony oo the line of pulicy to be pursued. It Is a greet mistake to suppose that the De mocracy are iu the minority iu the United States. Wa repast, again, that there are, at least, three ra if tons heo hundred thou- ttml Democratic vetera wow in the United States, r -ady aud willing to non in solid phalanx egauM the usurpers who now bear swaj, il they are in uo way “fumrfi- capptd" by men ur principles wliioh they do not, and will not, iudorae. The Radical popular vote oast in 1868 was (2,085,080.) two miitiont nine hundred runt eu/hty-Jtve thousand and thirty. Thera were, then, nut less tuun three Jh/Htdret! thousand Democrats disfranchised, who are uow entitled to vote. The Rad icals have oertaiuly made uo oouverta to their side sines. The changes have been ike other tray. Some Northern papers assert that not less than fhur hundredthousand Cbnsertet- tioo Bapublioans, su-callwi, who voted for General Grant in 1808, are uow hostile to his re-elect'on. If this be so, then the eueeqss of the Democratic Party is beyond all doubt—and the country there by saved from Imperialism, —it prudence, discretion, wisdom, and patriotism gov ern their councils. Ail tho great vital questions are nar rowing down day by day, to the single issue of whether our Government is s Federal Union of States or a Consolidat ed Empire. OB this poiot, and in this connection, SB shell, to-morrow, publish sn important Editorial from tile New York World, upon tome of the fate utterances ot Sen ator Heston, to whioh ws now ask the special attention of our readers. We shall have something to say our kKwos these monstrous utterances of r Morton, but defer then, for the A. H. S. The Chronicle (jiiului this ter tot be done, lx , eu.se, under tho present Cunt' - 'u/ion, the ipjioxntment ot the Judges of t < Co. rt is vested in the Govern, r an 1 Senate. This is true only ot original appoint ments. The Constitution provides for origiusl appointments, and also for vs cancios. The Constitution, aaitstandn, provides completely only for original appointments. Upon the subject of vacancies, its lan guage is equally clear and explicit: “The Governor shall have power to flU such vacancy, unleu otherwise provided by law." In this obtuse a different mode is de clared for filling the vacancies from that prescribed for making original appoint ments It is clearly within the power ot the Legislature to provide by law that vacan cies shall be filled as original appoint ments are made, or in any other mode they may see fit to adopt lie manner of filling vacancies depends, nnder tho Constitution, on Legislative enactment. The existing Legislative enactment in the Code, in no way inconeistent with the provisions of the Constitution - on this subject is in these plain and decisive words: nee of * varaney (from My cium), the Gov- sbll appoint wul oommUaioo eome quitted person to iuj>ply U until tin neat meeting of tke^demerni * ‘ily, who shall elect eome one for the unerpirrd If a vacancy occurs during the session ol the General Aeeembly, there muit be no appointment; oaea without an election, the Governor Int tome one to hold the office until the action'of the General Assembly.*’ The Constitution end the existing law, therefore, dearly cover the case pre sented. Judge Brown resigned. Gov. Bullook appointed and commis sioned Judge Locbrane to supply the va cancy thus occurring until the next meet ing of the General Assembly, which is now in session. In tho absence of any other Legislative enactment, than that of the Code, vthich is perfectly consistent with the general provisions of the Con stitution on the subject, is it not the clear and unquestionable duty of the General Assembly to elect a Judge to fill the bal ance of the uucxpired term of Judge Brown ? V hat we have said very fully covers the reply of our neighbor, the Constitu- turn, to our former article. The only point mode by it is that the Constitution says, “The Judges of the Supreme 'Court shall bo appointed by tho Govcr- ' nor with the advice pnd consent of the Senate;" and after this quotation our neighbor concludes thus: “Now we Uiiok it ia clear that a Judge put inti the position by Election of any kind would uot bo a ConstJtutionl Judge.” In this conclusion our neighbor is evi dently too hasty. He quotes only one part of the Consti tution, and that which r^ates to original appointments. He omits that part which relates to filling vacancies, which is the case in hand. On this point tho Consti tution Rays: •When uuy office become.. tcaut by death, re g- tlou or otherwise, the Governor shall have power i.l such vacancy unless otherwiseprvvidtt! by low." Now, will our neighbor contenu that a Judge elected under a constitutional law to fill a vacancy wonld not be a constitu tional Judge? Our neighbor seems to think this very unimportant question. Wc are far from looking iq>on it in the samo light—especially when considered in connection with a resolution reported to have passed the Senate a few days ago, referring all questions of coutest for the office that may arise between the acting Governor and whoever may bo elected, under the late bill, to the Courts to de cide. We bavo no time to say more on these interesting subjects to-day. A. H. s: T|m Vicaicy en I Me Supreme Csurt Beuch. I The replies of our cotewporariel, the ami Sray««< Augusta, and of oar neighbor the Constitution, of Sunday morning, to oar artioie of loot week upon 1 this subject, here just reached us, and we I hfe only a few moments to give them a I b£ef notice in this imuc. * five maintained, it will be reeollooted, t A the only constitutional mode of fill • ing the fnB unexpired term of Judge Brown's vacancy, M by an election by the General Amenably. Ex-Cougressman Clift on the Gubernatorial Election., Mr. Clift.is a llailioul of the deepest ilye, and, of course, desires his party to be kept in power, and works for the tri umph of its principles; but, like Col. Farrow, ho opi>oses any thing that has the appearanoe of avoidiug an issue before the people. He is uulike Conley aud the Era, and the men in Georgia who have so sigually disgraced themselves, and even disgraced theltiulical party—so deep ly infamous has been their conduct. Con ley and the Era, and the reckless advo cates of prolongation, both last year aud this, are afraid to submit the question of their continuance iu power to tho people of Georgia, even in obedience to law; but having |X>wcr whioh was obtained by violence, intimidation and fraud, and fatloniug upon our substauce, they desire to retain it by means that are unfair or foul, or by tho overthrow pf law, the Constitution or Liberty, or anything, so they are but able to keep tbeir hands iu the public Treasury. Mr. Clift 1ms issued “Au Address to the Republicans of Georgia,” urging them to nominate a candidate for Gover nor, and go into tho contest with the Democrats; to abandon their present un- ten. ible position and their apathy; to %i immeiliaiely >wo'isider the question'," to uot let the “election go by default," and to put “forth the most earnest and vigo rous efforts to organise the party, and meet the old enemies of Equal Rights,” as he calls the Democrats, “fairly and squarely in the teeth, and do brave bat tle for some pure-mintled, honest Republi can, who, if elected, will serve out the term with credit to himself and benefit to tho State." We quote the following from Mr. Clift's address: I am thoroughly convinced that this is the try best oouree for us to pursue. Tho contrary course seems, t - my mind, nei ther wise, brave, patriotic or just. We bavo as much time to work for tlio elec tion as our opponents. Governor Conley’s position is, at least, of dou-' /ui legality, a’t. even if it wore terhnicnlly correct, the voice of the people, r, ak g through their Represer Natives, •peaks in thnndcr tones, aud most em phatically—and as I think, wisely—con strues the language of the Constitution of Georgia to mean that a new (tocemor must be elected next month. Neither brief time for preparation, Governor Conley's position, the result of the lost election, or the inability of our friends to pav their taxes, should, for one instant, aunt onr ears to this call of the people. It must, will and ought to be obeyed at a ny cost. ’I he wish's of tho pooplc ..ro entitled to jinpoct, and the individuals, or partv, who fail to heed them when so plainly expressed, and on so important a ques tion as the one pending, will do themselves greut wrong, and suffer in the cud accord ingly- I never did, and do not now believe id shirking a fight with Democracy under any pretext however specious, or circum stances however discouraging. We ought to be ready s id willing to meet t* em whenever ana wherever duty calls, and defend the great principles ad vocated by our partJ since oG, apd by muuy good men long before. Instead of giving up the fight, let it be continued, and give them no quarter, till the last stronghold of the greatest foe of Liberty and Equal Rights in this conn tty, shall be carried, and they shall sox render to the cohorts of Freedom, and to the Civilizatiou of the nineteenth cen tury. # « • « « * # The wrongs qf onr poor people call londly for redross, and the cry must be heeded and responded to by all true hearts. We must play no cowardly part in this fight, nor bow our neck to the Demo cratic yoke, otherwise we are not worthy the blessings we seek. Let them—all the leading Republicans now in Atlanta—take counsel together immediately, and prevail on Gov. Conley, Hon. J. 8. Bigby, Ei-Gov. James John son, or one of a half dozen other pure and true Republicans of ability, and prom incnce, to allow the party to muku an effort to place them in the Gubernatorial chair. Let Governor Conley reconsider his de termination, and contest his right to liis position before tho PEOPLE, that Mighty Tribunal, higher than all courts.. Let us pay our poll taxes, rapidly organ ize our party in every county, and and poll every vote we can; then, if we are ever so badly beaten, we shall have at least the satisfaction of meeting our oUt enemy face to face, aud doing battle valiantly for the right. It will put us in harness for the greater battle of T2, in which the principles of justice will surely triumph over oppres sion and wrong, and the result be perfect Peace. Joseph W. Clift.

The Era, in its advoc acy of violence, lawlessness and disorder, requires some further notice at our Lauds. It has in voked the interference of Federal bayo nets to keep Benjamin Conley in the Gubernatorial Chair, and to prevent THE PEOPLE of Georgia from exer cising a lawful and constitutional right in a peaceable and law-abiding manner. Ever since 1868—and perhaps a little before—tho Era has been the mouth piece and organ of the political banditti, composed of such men a;; Bullock, the Blodgetts, Harris, et id omne genus; and the money bags of those who own and control it, have grown plethoric—no from a legitimate support of the paper by the people, but by inroads upon the public Treosmy. The vulture claws of this bandit crew huve been reekiog with tLw* richest blood ot our prostrate State for years; and of this blood the Era has drank deeply, and fattened and grown insolent. But this carnival of infamy is drawing to a close. Its great Bovinity is a fugi tive from justice. The cords of the law are tightuiug around its “honest Iago,” ami its Falstaff uo longer dispejses rail road plunder belonging to the people of Georgia, nor organizes Legislature* like the highwayman forces his victim to staud and deliver, nor manipulates plun dering Rings to his own liking. If this new order of things is allowed to go on, the JEVu sees its mission at an end, snd its'sources of supply cut off und the prospect is not consolatory.— It wnuts a prolongation of the reign of its friends ; and we doubt not it wonld feel a grim satisfac tion in the reinstating of Bullock, and Blodgott, and Harris, and the plundering crew, who swarmed in the halls of the hist Legislature. It suggests a New “Rebellion,” because it wants more State Printing. It invokes Grant's bayonets, and invites and advo cates a reign of anarchy—knowing how profitable big State Printing jobs and advertisements ure, when those having uo regard for the public welfare have the bills to pay out of the people’s money. And in this crusade against law, per sonal liberty, and security of property; in this invocation of disorder, oppression, and outrage, upon a people who cannot resist, and who are disposed to be peace able, and demean themselves as good oiti- zeus, it seeinB to have the sanction, ooun* tcuance, encouragement, and support of Ben j ami n Conley, now usurping the functions of Governor of Georgia. Prom the BeYMnah Newt, 1st Dec., 1871. Attitude of the Democracy lle- iturdiug the Third Party Move ment. Washington, Novemljer 23.—Letters have been received in this city from prominent Democrats, who have been invited to enter into a movement for the formation of a third party, asserting their positive objections to such pro ceedings at present, aud suggesting that slow haste he made iu coming to conclu sions upon tho subject of wandering from the Democratic organization or of merging it into a new party without full and oomplete consultation and coun sel among the leading men of the party. — Washington sjxxuU. This is, says the Mobile Register, a common-sense view, and shows that all the Democratic leaders have not lost their heads by fright. To a third party we are unalterably opposed, because it in volves the dissolution of Lie only party in tho land that even pretends to uphold the Constitution, or avows any purpose to save the freeiaatitutionsof the Unite' 1 8lci.es> The Democratic party may tiua it necessary to treat with other political organizations or individuals on the ground of a common fight against a commou enemy. But to treat effect vely it must trunk as ail army does w ith its organized oower perfect, aud with arms in its hands. It cannot negotiate at all in a state of disintegration, and its whole material can never be brought effectually to bear in the support of a compromise candi date. Disband the Democratic party and you take away the hope.s ot liberty from hun dreds of thousands of Democrats. It would be to withdraw from the field the 'he Democratic party cannot die while a ray of hope is left of Constitutional Government. It was bom with the Con stitution, it con only die with it. If die it must—ant. we are far from admitting such u fate in this crisis—let it fall uobly, and go down holding fust to the pillars of that great lem !e built by the fathers which their degenerate and cowardly pos terity have suffere 1 to be crushed under the wdSght of ambition, corruption and fanaticism. Courage is the great need now in Dem ocratic ranks. Let the weak and the timid halt and faint by the wayside, and let the oowards flee from the present danger, but there will still be a Democratic party left, com posed of the cream A its principles, its patriotism, and its bravery. They will soon seed for the future; for with Grant’s e'ection, and the succession in view, there will be new political changes to in vite the Democracy oi ce more to the field of patriot’s effort to save or rescue the country from despotic government. The South, especially, should hold fast and bide its time. Her people have this' solace at least; if the people of the North do uot pull their compatriots of the South up to their level of freedom and equality, it is as sure <u» God's truth that they will be hauled down to our level of polical slavery. The “irresistible con flict” here sweeps within its inexorable embrace the liberty of the Nprlb, of which by its consent the Booth was de prived.
