The (’oiistituiionalist.
We mentioned a few days since that this
paper was out iu favor of-a compromise of
electoral tickets. We certainly so under
stood the editor. Now he is bitterly opposed
to anything of the sort, and says he never
said it would do to alter the ticket. If you
did uot think of it, why did you write to
5Ir. Clark and others, making suggestions
which induced these men to place their names
in, your hands to be used as appeared best:
Why does-Mr. Clark iu liis letter use the
language, therefore, if the ticket is to be
re-constructed, and thorc is a Union demo
crat in this district who, from .position and
circumstances, it would be better to have as
ai> elector, do-not consider me at all in the
way ?” Wliat does this mean, if the Com
mittee, of which Col. Gardner is chairman,
did not hint at a re-construction of the tick

The Liquor Traffic-.
The intelligent Grand Jury of Floyd cdtin-
ty makes a vigorous blow at the evils of in
temperance and the traffic in ardent -spir
its. Wc wish the people would open their,
eyes on this subject; and we know of-no
better way to get the people informed than
to adopt the policy of the Floyd Grand Ju
ry. Let others do likewise. Here is that
part of the .presentments which refers to this
subject.
< ( Inasmuch as we believe that nearly all
the offences committed against the laws of
the State are, in a great measure, caused by
the said and use of intoxicating drinks, the
traffic in them is socially and morally inju
rious to the community, as well as danger-
one and prejudicial to the order aud.peace of
society. It furnishes our county jail as well
as the State prison, with wretched inmates,
supplies alms-houses, and demands {lie use
of asylums. It engenders controversies, fos
ters quarrels, and cherishes riots. It encour
ages and gives succor to gaming houses. It
contemns -laws, spurns order, and loves mobs.
It crowds the penitentiary, and furnishes
victims for the scaffold. It is the life-blood
of tli'e-gambler. It creates a large amount.

We were informed by our telegraph des-

Dallas is situated on what is called the
old Tennessee road, about 25 miles- from
Marietta, in the county of Paulding, as laid
off by -t he last Legislature. It can scar'ce-
ly be called a town or villager -as but few
houses have yet been commenced, and none
Completed.- We learn that many persons
contemplate building as soon as lumber can
be procured. The Inferior court have con-
tractcd for tlie building of & splendid court
house, and we doubt not but Dallas will yet
be a pretty good village. We hope- so at
auv rate. We will promise one thing—Mr.
Poole, tlie landlord, will accommodate all
who stop at his house, as well as can be done
in any town in Georgia. He keeps a table
that would put -to blush many of theAland-
lords of city houses, who have no conseiCu
rious scruples in charging double his prices.
There is one feature about Dallas, howev
er, that we depricat-e—that is, the existence
of so many rowdies and fighting bullies.—
We witnessed several fights, in Which eyes
were gouged, hair pulled out, rocks sent in
to ribs, and bruising about generally. There
seemed to be a clan of fighters Who were
just following the business for tiie love of It.
This state of things is incident to all new
places, however, and we hope Dallas will
soon be free from such scenes.

ic party, upon terms fair and honorable to
all. I indulge the hope that we shall have
an immense gathering of the Democracy of
the State at that time, und tbe desire should
be to pursue such a course m regard to the
re-organization of the present Electoral
ticket, as will unite the greatest- number of
persons in its cordial and enthusiastic sup
port. As an humble individual, I can say
with the utmost truth and candor, that I
have no personal objection to any individu
al who is on the present Electoral ticket,
and I would cheerfully and cordially sup
port it, with the names of any of those gen
tlemen on the ticket, provided that portion
of the Democratic party, who have been i-
dentified with me, arc fairly represented on
it. For -one, I do not ask that the present
ticket should be set aside, nor do I believe
that such is the wish -of the great body of
the Union Democracy. We desire that it
shall be so altered and changed, by common
consent and agreement, as to make it more
acceptable to all. It is the sincere desire of
every tsue and honest Democrat in the State
It would j (: iat we gbo uid be successful in the approach
ing Presidential election; and to do this, we
must unite and act harmoniously together.
This cannot be accomplished, in my opinion,
unless those who put in nomination the pres

ion'Democracy shall be fairly represented.
I have seen, with pleasure, that the lead
ing friends and supporters of the present
ticket have met the advances made by the
Union Democrats for a re-union in the true
spirit of patriotism, which foreshadows that
every thing will be done that is necessary
to secure a cordial union of the friends of
Pierce and King, and the triumphant suc
cess of that party in Georgia in November
next.
With great respect, I am, dear sir, yours,

This morning* hostile meeting took place
at Oak Grove, between Hon. Edward Gil-

and General J. W. Denver, State Senator
from Trinity connty. The immediate cause
of this lamentable affair was * card publish

merits of the controversy this is not the time
or place to speak. Mr. Gilbert challenged
the adverse party. The weapons selected
were Wesson’s rifles, and distance forty pa

After {he first interchange offshota, neith

Same days Since, Mr. John Miller,of King
ston, Canada West, arrived in the city on his
way to Australia, and put up at French’s
Hotel. On Saturday last, while passing
near Tammany Hall,he was attracted by the
cry of i« -going, going!” into an auction
shop, where one ‘Me Alpine was crying off a
watch which he warranted to be gold. This
watch was knocked down to one of the <• Pe
ters’’ belonging to the concern for $15, but
the fellow pretended that he had no money
and asked Mr. Miller to pay the debt for
him, and he would refund the money after
going a few steps down Nassau street. 51 r.
Miller paid the money, but no sooner had he
done so than another Peter approached, and
pretending to be a watch maker, gave it as
his opinion that the watch just purchased
was worth no more than $10, and Stated
that it Was galvinized.
The first Peter then pretended to be tery
angry at the auctioneer for cheating him,
and proceeded to raise a •• muss,” but the
matter was apparently settled by the auc
tioneer putting up a genuine gold watch,
upon which the indignant Peter was given
the privilege of bidding, with the under
standing that the difference between this
and the $15 being paid by him, he shonld
be privileged to return the latter. At this
point of the proceeding Mr Miller demand
ed the $15 which he had paid for the first
watch. It was refused, and strange to say,
led upon to pay $85 more as

Arkansas Election-.—The Arkansas
election returns are not complete, bat there
is no doubt of the election of Conway, regu
lar Democrat, over Smithson, independent
Democrat. There was no Whig candidate.
The Legislature is largely Democratic.
Of the Senators who hold over, ten are Dem
ocrats and three Whigs. The Senators ctoc-
ted are nine Democrats and three whig).
The House of Representatives, as far as
heard from, contains fifty-three Dmaocrats
and tweentythree Whigs.
lion. Pierre Soule, tlie distinguished
Senator from Louisiana, in a -private letter
to his partner thus speaks of Gen. Pierce:
•I I have seen the man, and a man he is
—of lolly mein,of winning manners, and ea
sy and elegant speech, of great directness of
purpose, of'facilc access, and yet dignified
Snd ithposing—a man, 1 tell yon, who will
grace the presidential chair, add to the cred
it of our party, and do honor to the nation'.
In him we may repose the most absolute and
unreserved confidence. His mind is of the
highest order. What strikes in him most is
the bold confidence with which he address
es himself to any subject, an unerring reve
lation of conscious rectitude, and of - moral
and mental strenght.”

The Art-Union Shut up.—We see it
stated that the American Art-Union is shut
up. The decision of the Court of Appeals
will be given in a few weeks. No one, says
the N. Y. Herald, seems to doubt what will
be the character of that decision. Tlie ques
tion is, what is to be done with the property
which is now nnder the managers’ control ?
This property amounts to $100,000 or $150,-
000. To whom does it belong ? Assuredly
not to the-managers who have managed it so
badjy.
The Liquor Law in 5Iinnesota.—The
citizens of Minnesota having adopted the
Maine Liqnor Law, the first attempt to en
force its provisions was made by seizing up-
onthe liquor of 5Ir. Constans, a grocer, ef
St. Paul. Constans and his friends resisted
the process; the sheriff called npon the Gov
ernor for instructions—tie Governor direct
ed the sheriff to enroll a posse; the poese
was raised, new resistance was offered;
speeches were made upon both sides from
tbe heads of barrels, threats of personal vi
olence were inade, when a' compromise was
entered into, and the liquor placed ih the
hands of a third party, to stand a suit at
law. /
