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. 11 orris coll Illy lias raised a large sor ghum eaiiO crop, and the farmers are now busy making syrup, which tiie Journal prououne.es very fine. O•- -*i <B>- Mscon Telegmpk ife Messenger. 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.
