NINTH DISTRICT.
For UrproMnalHlhr, Mth Conurexi*,
HON. JOEL A. BILLUPS,
OF MORGAN COUNTY.
“ There are but two parties—the I)emo
c.-ntH and the Radicals—and one who op|>bses
the Democrats furthers the cause of Radical
ism.”— Emory Speer.
WHAT WILL BE THE RESULT?
The Independent candidate and his friends
urg£ the voter to support him on the grounds
that it will do away with nominating Conven
tions, and consequently leave no room for
fraud to be practiced upon the people.
How this residt will follow the election of
Mr. Speer we cannot see. We think Mr.
.Speer would he playing the role of a states
man if lie would take apart of that he
now devotes to abusing the Convention sys
tem, and point out, or lay before the voters
of this District, a plan by which they can se
lect their representatives without the possi
bility of the majority's being cheated out of
their rights by rings, cliques, &c. If Mr.
Speer is really a reformer, why don’t lie give
usa plan that will stand against the schemes
ol ambitious individuals? We presume he
must have a plan of some kind in his pocket,
which lie will reveal at the proper time, but
we insist that now is the time, and it would
have been more in keeping with our ideas of
a great reformer to have submitted it to the
people before the Gainesville Convention.
To say that Mr. Speer’s plan is to have a
scrub race every t ime, and let everybody run
that wants to. is nonsensical: and, while it
may suit his present purposes to maintain
and advocate that method, we vent ure to say
that, in the near future, he will not insist upon
it. for Mr. Speer and every thinking man can
see innumerable objections to adopting it as
a permanent rule.
Again : Mr. Speer denounces party organ
ization, when, if he will examine Webster’s
definition of party organization, he will find
that the In lependents are a party, and, as it
now stands, Mr. Speer is their leader. llow
he came to he such, we do not know, except
it was by common consent. Then we submit,
arc not the Independents an organized part}',
since all the lads meet the requirements of
the definition—having a proper head, and,
ns they claim, a platform.
So far. this party has had but little trouble
to select its leaders, because Mr. Speer, the
originator of the movement, will claim the
leadership as long as he lives or wants it.—
This ma)' all work very well for the present,
and the enthusiastic Independent may, in the
heat and ardor of the present campaing, lose
all thoughts of the future and its coming
troubles, but nevertheless they will come in
the shape of aspiring young men who have
long fought in the Independent ranks, and
when they see Mr. Speer the standard-dear
er—when they see him crow’ned with laurels,
and all the praise given to him—they will
become anxious to gel their share of tlie sub
stantial part of the spoils. They may think
that they too could serve the clear people in
Congress, and under this idea become danger
ous. He may form a ring or a clique
amongst the dissatisfied, for there will be
plenty in this frame of mind who will be anx
ious to support another candidate.
Now what shall be done? What remedy
will be adopted ? We think wc see now the
man who have the real interest of the party
at heart proposing a nominating Convention,
to settle the claims of the rival candidates;
but. as soon as this is done, Mr. Speer bolts
and declares himself an Independent can
didate.
This is exactly the condition of affairs at
present. Mr. Speer, thinking that he would
stand but little chance of securing the muni
tion—believing that he was popular with the
people, and that he could excuse his course
by denouncing the Convention system as
corrupt and unreliable—lie announced him
self as an Independent candidate, and leads
all who are disaffected towards the Democrat
ic party.
Now, where will the Independent be when
this race is over? lie will either have to
come back into the Democratic party and
submit to organization, and vote for a man
who lias been nominated by this unjust sys
tem, or he will have to form a party of his
own, or he will have to go with the Radicals.
Now these three courses are the only tines
open to him.
Again : Suppose Mr. Speer should now re
tire from the race, what would the Independ
ents do for a leader ? or would they want one ?
It is our firm opinion that, outside of Mr-
Speer's present candidacy, it will have no
further life in this District, as there are no
great principles underlying it to give it life.
Gurther than a temporary existence for Mr.
Speer's benefit.
Then, in view of the fact that Mr. Speer is
ever ready to abuse the Convention system,
but never has presented one that is unobjec
tionable and will meet our requirements ; that
his-party is only for the purpose of electing
him to Congress—or, as it may be more pro
perly termed, a ring or clique, which can have
no existence outside of the special object for
which it was created—how can you, the voters
of the Democratic party, be persuaded off
into the support of the Independent candi
date, when, in so doing, you advance no
body’s interests but Mr. Speer’s? We be
seech 3'ou not to be deluded into the idea that
by so doing you are reforming the Demo
cratic party. This j t ou cannot do in this man
ner. There is but one way to do that, and
that is to start within the party itself. In
voting for the Independent, you are killing
the very party you are trying to reform.
Now, we put this question to you : which
is of the most importance to you, Mr. Speer
or the Democratic party ? and let your votes,
in November, decide this point.
—ln the Hill and Bell Convention tlie
Hon. Jeems, being then a full fledged organ
ized Democrat, (this resulted altogether from
the fact, as he says, that he had free access
to a certain jug kept full by Bell’s friends.)
called Emory Speer a Shetland pony. On
last Saturday he spoke of him ns some tall
pine upon some tall cliff, which could not be
overcome by some tall wind and rain. Alto
gether, a tall compliment. llow principles
do change, but men never !
—The Independents now charge that Col.
Billups don’t pay his debts. Now, we advise
you to hold up ; think before you leap; be
careful. This is hardly consistent with the
charge that he is a rich aristocrat.
’ #
—The gentleman from Banks takes ns to
task for disagreeing with Tommy Jefferson.
’Tis true, our crime is great before men ; but
then, Jeems, y'ou forgot you once disagreed
upon the same point with Emory Speer.
- -
gentleman from Banks say’s he
was joking when he called Speer a Shetland
pony. Mr. Bell very aptly remarked that the
gentleman was a joke in politics anyhow.
~
—’Squire Turnbull, of Banks, is all hot for
Speer, and he don't like to see him abused.
It goes against the grain.

TO THE PUBLIC.
One John Porter left Jefferson, on the
evening ol the 17th 111 st., between sun-down
and dark, for his home, about three miles
distant, in a besotted condition. About 12
o clock, at. night, of the 17th inst.. he appear
ed before S. McCarty, J. P. for the Jefferson
District, and sued out a warrant for the
; undersigned, charging them with having rob
j bed him of something over ten dollars in
money. Said John Porter had, on the said
17th day of September, inst., sold to F. M.
Bailey, of Jefferson, a bale of cotton for
! $35.80. Delias said repeatedly since that
time, in the presence of perfectly reliable
persons, that lie had 110 other money that day
1 than the amount received for the cotton. He
has admitted that he carried home with him
i over twenty-six dollar's, and still admits it.
He expended, while in Jelferson, on the said
17th instant, at Pendergrass, Son & Co’s,
j $3.35; at N. McDonalds, $2.00; at T. G.
Potts’, $1.50 ; at J. 11. Chapman’s, 40 cents ;
loaned 11. C. Hunter 50 cents, aggregating
$7.75, leaving for the alleged robbers only a
fraction over one dollar.
Parties desirous of ascertaining the truth
have cen able to locate these expenditures.
Wliatothers may yet come to light is a ques
tion for the future. Said John Porter was
more than once seen, on the day named, in
the delirium of drunkenness, to scatter, or
sow, as it were, his small change round alxiut
him. And this recklessness, if there are no
other expenditures to be ascertained, con
nected with a day’s drunken debauch, may
have left, as doubtless it did leave, nothing
except the $26.00, and some small change,
which said John Porter carried home with
him.
So much for this view of the case.
When it was ascertained that the under
signed were charged with this alleged rob
bery, certain parties visited said John Porter,
ami told him that the rumor had gone out
that he had charged them (the undersigned)
with it, and that they wanted an investigation,
lie promised several gentlemen that he would
appear in Jefferson, on Saturday, the 21st
inst., and afford those he had charged with
his grave offense an opportunity to vindicate
themselves. Saturday came and passed
i away, and no John Porter. Instead of keep
! ing his promise, ho went in another direction,
and when his own son was induced to go in
search of him, he could not be found. He
neither came nor excused himself for not
coining, and keep 9 the warrant in his pocket
unexecuted. Then it was that a warrant was,
sued out against said John Porter for Perjury,
for which lie is now under bond, in the sum
of five hundred dollars, to appearand answer
at the next term of Jackson Superior Court.
These statements, taken in connection with
the fact that tlie undersigned can establish,
not only abundantly, but most overwhelm
ingly. their innocence of the charge made
against them, is sufficient to suspend public
opinion till such time as said John Porter
will raise his head in open Court, and in
open day time, and repeat what he said at
mid-night, while under the influence of drink.

IT IS POOR POLICY
For any retail merchant to sell inferior
poods because lie can make
more money on them.
Instead of trying to find the cheapest
that can be bought, he should always
select THE BEST in the market.
We know of no business anywhere, in the
city or country, that would not sooner become
permanently established, and in the long run
pay better, by handling only fair and honest
goods. To ho sure, custom may for a while
be allured by low prices into the purchase
of inferior and adulterated articles; many
even take *p with short weight and other
swindling; but Mm* right* all lhw
Shin**, and nothing is more certain than that
HgfiESTT S3 THE BEST POLICY
HEX SO bUsixESS
TO HAKE HONEY!
Th# surest way to accomplish this is to
build uu a permanent trade.
This can not lie snccessfnlly done
if inferior pods are soli.
It is only hv keeping the best rrticlrs of their
kind, even if they do not pay the largest
immediate profit, that a permanent business
is built up. Keep the host soap, the best
starch, the best spices, the best baking powder,
and so on through the whole list. Wo have
known a grocer to 100 a customer whose
trade was worth a hundred and fifty dollars
a year clear profit to him, ju<t because ho
would not supply a baking powder that was
demanded hv the best trade.

more relief from Liver Tonic than anything 1 have
ever used. Yours, etc., Duval Selpii.
