We are ranch gratified, to see that party organ zation is being so well kept up throughont the State. In almost every county and district when candidates for the next iegisla ture have been put forward, it has been done with a preservation of the democratic organization. We hear it asked almost every day, shall we or will we have a nomination in this connty, for a candidate to represent us in the next legislature? Well, why not? Certainly it was due to party organisation, that the Democ- racy of Clarke connty was successful. And certain it is that alone through organization are we to continue suc cessful. ■ Let our people but reflect about this matter, and they cannot fail to see the importance of continu ing our party organization, both as to our local welfare and the general good of the country. It is no time to be disorganizing the party, but on the contrary it is quite as necessary, if uot more important, to continue organized, as at any previovs time withiu the past ton or twelve years. Tho Radical party is ouly awaiting an opportunity. The leaders are watching our every movement, and a mistake on our part at this time would bo fatal. By all means, let there bo a nomination, either by convention or primary election. Just which ever suits tho people best. It does not matter what plan is It is said that Grant likes Europe, and is inclined to protract bis stay across the waters*. Good encngli, just let him remain and then when the evils of his presidential misrule have been wiped out, our country will again be happy and prosperous. J udge Barnard Hilt, ot the Chatta- hoodie Circuit died upon the bench oa last Thursday, during the trial of 4wo negroes for larceny, at Knoxville, Crawford county. It is said that his sudden and unexpected deatli was from heart disease. Ho was an able lawyer, an honored and esteemed tit- ■ adopted #** the nomination is made isoti, and his death creates quite a and the party organization preserved, loss in the legal pio’.itfsion of that And just here we would suggest, that as tho apprcachiug elections are of grave importance to our people, perhaps no more important ever be ing held in the State, it would be well for the proper authorities to call a mass inectine of the democratic circuit, as well as in the social cirdes where he was so well and so fhvora- bly known. Mr. Wm. A. Shorter, Ron of Hon. Eli S. Shorter, of Alabama, a young man well knowirto many in this com munity died on last Friday at Rome, Ga., of conjestiou of tho stomach and bowels. Mr. Shorter had but a week or two previous associated himself editorially with the Rome Courier He was a young man of marked abil ity and fine promise, bidding fair to fill an important sphere in life,* He will lie greatly missed and Vi4 -Meath will be mounted by many attached and admiring friends ami acquain tances throughout Georgia and Ala bama. the electoral fraud was to create a President whose administration could only be sustained by yielding to the demand of the majority of the Ameri can people far a return to honest and constitutional government. Now, we submit that although the Republican party, through the fraud ulent exercise of the power which it held in Congress, induced an accept ance of the Electoral Commission, thus triumphantly overriding the Constitution, nevertheless, the just, honest and constitutional administra tion of the government, which the course of Mr. Hayes so far leads the country confidently to expect, is a victory belonging solely to the De mocracy, the constitutional party of the country. Why then should there be talk abont new parties and new party lines ? Why disintegrate the ranks of that party which has so suc cessfully rescued the government from the hands of its despoilers, and so triumphantly brought it back to an honest and constitutional adminis tration? To do so, would be but madness, the ruin of which would be to give the country over again into the hands of our enemies. It is no wonder that the Republicans should cry out, new parties and. new party lines. It is in perfect Order for them to support and encourage Independ ents. For since tlieir only safety is in breaking the solid ranks of the Democratic party, then it is their fixed purpose to give all possible aid and encouragement, Jo every move ment which tends to disintegrate the organized Democracy. Then; from these facts let us be Jauglit, that to the Democratic party belongs . not only the maintenance and continuance of honest, constitutional government, but the very safety of our republican institutions, which, if it but continues Chief Executive of the lai d, as well as the protection of the Comtit'ition and the constitutional rights of the Ameri can people four years hence. party, for the purpose of a more i u solid organization, will secure their thorough organization, at which time tho mode of detirmiuing our can didates could be satisfactorily and Presidents In Georgia. successfully fixed upon, mass meeting be vailed. Let the The Atlanta Constitution of the 28th iusL in refering to the Presidents that had visited Georgia, says, it learns from Judge Junius Hiliyer that “ President Jackson while taking a vacation, in the intervals of congress, at his home the Hermirtage near Nashville Tennessee, paid a visit to bis uncle. Mr. Allison, in Greene county.” Is no' the J udge mistaken as to the date of General Jackson’s visit to Georgia? Ju«*t after the bat tle of New Orleans, perhaps the next year, General Jackson did visit his uncle, Mr. Allison, who lived just above Mr. Thomas Hart’s place in Greene county, known as Oak Grove, and remained with him several' days. While there, General Jackson paid a visit to Greensboro, and talked freely with the citizens about the battle of New Orleans. There is now living in this city an old geutleinan who was present in Greensboro at the time and says that General Jackson talked thus about the battle. “ 1 he people seem disposed to make much to do over me and my success . t the battle of New Orleans. Well there is 110 necessity for all this. The success ni our cause at New Orleans was as much due to the British commander as to me. For after landing at New Orleans, for some cause known only to the British officers, they delayed all movement until we were thoroughly prepared for battle Thus you see their delay con tributed largely to our success.” The buttle, of New Orleans was fought on the 8th of Januarv 1815, and General Jackson’s visit to Greene County if not tin* next yew, was cer tainly somewhere liet^een that date and 1825, and he was not inaugurated President of the United States until March 4th 1829. N. w is it not more ft an probable that “Old Hickory** honored Georgia with a visit as Gener ai. and not President, Jackson ? President Hayes and His Poli- C y—What it Should Teach The Democracy. The policy of President Hayes, as more fully set forth during his recent tour through the Western and South ern States, lias created quite a sensa tion in the Republican party. After being made President through the culmination of the most violent and high-handed partisansl ip ever befor*- known in the history of our govern ment, it is with the Republican parly and its leaders an incomprehensibly strange departure, an unexpected infidelity to party, that Mr. Hayes should know no party, no North, no South, no East, no West, and becom ing the. PiWideut of the people, know no allegiance but to the Constitution. Those who view the Pr-sident’s course fronr the more rational stand point, regarding it in its effect upon party formations, consider that, in his determination to administer the af fairs of government in accordance with the strict requirements of the Constitution, he has gone over to the Democracy, horse, foot and dragoon. While those who arc incapable of viewing his actions in any other than a purely (artisan light, declare “ that while the Republicans stole, tho Pres idency, the Democrats have stolen the President.” Wei), now, this is all right, and just as it sli mid lie, and it matters not what interpretation the Republicans may put upon the President’s course, it tally r-iuaiiis for the Deinncraey to inquire i to the cause ol his greater regard for the Constitution than the party who, in violation toereof, made him the Chief Executive, and to ap ply the lesson thereby taught for the future giHid of the country. To assert that Mr. Tilden was duly elected President, is to repeat a fact already sufficiently apparent, which daily experience more fully estab lishes, and which needs no higher proof than the policy adopted and being pursued by Mr. Hayes. Then, it must be admitted that, notwith- 8i audit g the popul r will in the choice of Mr. Tilden was defeated by the power which tlie Republican party held in Congress, yet, the result of perpetuat : nn in 1880.

Styles of the Gainesville Eagle, says: “ An effort is being made in Georgia to foment antagonism to Senator Gordon, and solidify the incongruous elements against him for his overthrow in 1878.” The Colon el further thinks that this scheme which was conceived in Atlanta, be fore the adjonrnment of the conven tion, is taking form in North Georgia. Well that such a movement has been or is being contemplated by some is more than probable. But Colonel just possess yourself with patience and know ye, that when such a move ment fully shows itself, the indigna tion of the people of North Georgia will be so great towards it, that it will be left without much form or comeliness. What would be the jus tice? What would be tho good sense or policy in antagonism Gen. Gordon in his re-election to tho Senate ? Has he not done his whole duty by the whole people? Yea, and furthermore has he not done more than any other man has done, or probably could have done for the people of the South ? It is said by those who have the best opportunities of knowing, and even by some not alto gether favorably disposed towards Gen.* Gordan, that his high-bear ing in the Senate, his wise conservat ism; his unimpeachable integrity, and honest zeal iu behalf of t he people he represents has given him an in** fluence in Congress, even with the most • extreme Republicans, that no other man has or could possibly pos sess. Then why oppose a man so useful in his position and whose duty has been so well and so faithfully dis charged? Gen. Gordon lives and will ever continue lo live in the hearts of our people for his gallant service, his unyielding patriotism during oiu late civil war, and equally will he ever abide in the efiections ot our whole Southern people for his zeal, devotion and true statesmanship in defending* them from the hands of our oppressors, and as a champion of right and jus tice, securing unto them just, honest and constitutional government. Whai more could any Senator have done ? What more would we have any rep resentative do? No, the gruteiui people of Georgia will not pern.it an injustice to he done such a faittdu and useful public servant. We feel satisfied that Gen. Gordon will he returned to the Senate with such an overwhelming majority as will fully attest the appreciation in which the people of Georgia hold him as a va! tied and honored representative. Should there arise any where iu our State, from jealousy, dissatisfaction or disappointment, the slightest antagon ism to this true, noble and chivalric son of Georgia, who like the illustri ous father of our country, “first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts ot his countrymen,” we Ivelieve that a grateful constituency, aroused with just indignation, will so soon crash it out that, there will remain not a semblance of opposition to Senator Gordon’s re-election in November 1878.
