HON. HA A ID. C. CODY,
OF CHATTAHOOCHEE,
FOR THE LEGISLATURE.
IIOHULI, T. 11084.15.
Him. Henry It. SSarris.
While we advocated the claims of
Hon. B. B. Hinton for the Democrat
ic nomination for Congress, for, as
we believed, good and sufficient rea
sons, we made no tight against the
present efficient and popular incum
bent, Hon. Henry B. Harris, the
staunch Democrat and able Repre-
sentative, because he is a true and
tried Georgian, against whom no re
proach has over been hurled.
After four years laithful service, in
the legislative halls of tiie United
States, for the good of Lis country
and the honor of his constituents, he
comes before the people spotless and
pure from all the contaminating in
fluences of Radical corruption and
demoralization. During those four
years no whisper of unfaithfulness or
dishonesty, has aver been breathed
against his name or character, by
oven his most inveterate and unscru
pulous enemies. It is rarely that we
meet with a public man of such puri
ty of character and faithfulness of
service. Who can say of Henry R.
Harris, that he failed to do his duty
in a single instance ?
The Democracy of tho 4th Con
gressional District present him to the
people for re-election. Their suflra
ges could not be cast for a truer son
of Georgia. He should be sent back
to Congress by five thousand majori
ty. He is the people’s candidate,
who will represent them in the future
as he has done in the past.
Judge J. S. Black’s open letter to
Hon. Jas. A. Garfield is a icrrille
but true arraignment of the Radical
Abolition party, which lie proves in
disputable to be the worst and most
cruel slave party in the world. The
letter is grand in its vehemence, tow
ering in its indignation and over
powering in its indisputable argu
ments.
HOWELL T. IIOLLiS’ POSI
TION OBt THE CONSTI
TUTIONAL, CONVEN
TION.
\
Mr. Howell T. Hollis has assured
us that he is willing to submit the
question of holding a Constitutional
Convention to the people. A,> an
advocate of holding the Convention,
we think this is fair enough.
OS es f*E.ONi> voi.vmi.
It, is with real graUlicntion, that
we present to our renders the first
number of the Second Volume of the
Buena Vista Auors, because we be
gan its publication under very vnian
spieious circumstances and have been
enabled to bring it successfully to
the close ofi's first volume and the
commencement of another, contrary
to the expectations of its friends and
the predictions ot its enemies.
The task has been a very laborious
aiul’t rying one. At t lie very thresh hold
ol our undertaking, we were met by
an apparently insurmountable opposi
tion which took the form of a dogg
ed, blind conviction that she enter
| prise must inevitably fail. This is the
j paramount obstacle in the way of
success of all new enterprises, winch
requires Tor its overthrow all the en
ergy and resolute determination of
their promoters. In the case of the
Argus, this want of confidence, was
the result of three causes: First,
ignorance of the business and the
means of obtaining sustenance; sec
ond, the failure of several newspa
pers started in Buena \ ista, at a
time when the town was much more
prosperous than at present; and,
third, tiie ungenerous desire that it
should fail, by some, whom a scrip
tural description fitly portryys, “they
loved darkness rather than light, be
cause their deeds were evil."
Besides Ibis great stumbling stone,
we lmd others of smaller dimensions,
which were more aggravating than
iormidable. Wo came among the
good people of Marion county, a
stranger without an extended repu
tation or ample capital; many of the
reading citizens had already invested
largely in newspaper subscriptions
and felt unable to increase their ex
penses in this respect; many did not
properly appreciate the value of a
local county newspaper; ndv. rlisers
were not. satisfied that a paper, just
commencing publication, could have
a sufficient circulation to repay them
for an advertising outlay; and the pa
per had to make a reputation before
foreign advertisement, could be at
t -acted to its columns.
All these obstacles we have over
come, by the assistance of the paper’s
friends, and our resolve to succeed
if success were possible. To our
many kind patrons, we are sincerely
grateful, for standing by us when
the prospect Was dark and threat
ening, and we solicit a continuance
l of their favor and support, pledging
oursclvcr to improve on tiie past as
the obstacles vanish from our path
way. Only by their united patron
age can wo hope to keep the Argus
afloat another year.
We intend to make the Second
Volume of the Argus superior to the
first. More reading matter will be
given, and we hope to have more am
ple means of newsgatheiing. The
correspondents department will con
tinue to be open for news and the dis
cussion of public questions of impor
tance. Those who have thoughts to
give arc invited to give them in the
best style, through our columns.
Again thanking the citizens of Ma
rion lor their patronage, we begin a
new volume with an unalterable de
termination to carry it through to a
successlul termination, leaving the
question <4 its support and mainte
nance where it only can be left, with
the people, believing that they will
reward our confidence with a prompt
and generous patronage.
HON. DAVID C. COOT.
This tried Georgian has been se
lected, by the’ Democrats of the 24th
Senatorial District, to represent them
in the upper house of the Legislature,
and we endorse the action of the par
ty in bringing out so worthy and
clever a gentleman for our suffrages.
Mr. Cody has represented the
county of Chattahoochee iu the legis
lature for several years, and his
course, while occupying that honora
ble position, has been oneof which he
may well be proud. A Rtaunch Dem
ocrat, wherever is found the Demo
cratic party, there in the front rank
will be found Hon. David C. Cody of
Chattahoochee. A handsome major
ity will endorse his nomination.
Splits ;n th. Democr. tic parly in
local po itics are becoming quit nu-1
iiTnous. The Democrats of the For-!
ty Second Senatorial District have
out two candidates, and in the four
teenth Senatorial. District they have
out two. The seventh Dong.iosstonal
District lias two Democratic candi
dates, as well as ours, tDo 4th. The
I lawkmville Dispatch attributes these
splits to (lie overpowering strength of
the Democracy, radicalism beime
h> thoroughly beaten, that the peo
ple lecl safe in repudiating conven
tions and selecting their candidates
on personal merit alone. Unless
Radicalism resurrects, there is no
roal need of nominating Conventions
-but wo are not. sure Ihat Rallied
ism is dead. Tho Convention is u
Bale-guard against surprise—.wo,
therefore, for the present, should
stand by it.

JDealh of £>r. Myers.
Macon was saddened yesterday by
the announcement of the death of
Rev. I>r. Myers, in Savannah of the
prevailing epidemic. Ho died at 7
o’clock on Tuesday morning. We
had heard ol his illness, but.it was at
the. same time announced that it was
a light attack and threatened no se
rious conseqm neos; and the mournful
announcement of his deatli came up
on us, therefore, all unprepared.
In I)r. Myers a Icamul, useful,and
pious man has fallen. The State,
and partieubn ly our Methodist breh
ren. have sustained a great loss. Wo
have known him from youth—first,
as a bright young s udentin Talla
hassee, Eloiida, the pride of a pious
widowed mother —thou as President
ol Wesleyan Ft male College here—
their as editor of the Southern Chris
tum Advocate— then as President of
the Coliege again- -then as resuming
regular ministerial lal or at Savai/nah
—in all relations vigorous, efficient,
and influential. We lament his death
as a great public Ess.
Gen. Braxton Bragg is dead.
