NELSON TIFT, OF DOUGHERTY. i of tbe Georgia racy. . _ it tbe I > *f Gt*orj<ia stand ujion 1 the Democratic party^ bringing into ?qieci*l prominence, aa applicable to the present extraordinary condition of tbo country, the unchangea ble doctrines that this in a Union of the States and that the indestructibility of the States and of their rights and of their equality with each other is an Indispen sable part of oar political system. Resolved, That in the approaching State election, the Democratic Party in vites everybody to co-operate with them in a zealous determination to change, as far as the several elections to be held can do so, the present usurping and corrupt administration of the State government by placing in power men who are true to the principles of constitutional gov ernment, and to a faithful and economi cal of public tffnw Resolved, That in addition to the turns of the elections to be made, as pre scribed by law, the managers be request ed to give credentials of election to the Representatives and Senators who i be elected, to be used as evidence of tl election. Resolved, That whatever policy others may pursue, we pledge ourselves to do all in our power to secure free and fair elec lions by all who are qualified to vote nn- der existing laws.

Aid cloing this it migfcfr bo well to briefly political qnediows injoHjfl in the>reent route* imd M if there i» any real causa why the white aud colored men should not unite—should not put their efforts together and elect, only, good men and true. There are bnt two parties—the Demo cratic and the Badical. Here in' the Sooth the white people constitute the tjmdUaniipanda■ jhr why is this? Why do the whites belong to the Democratic pasty ? Simply be cause its pnpeipfes are better, and be cause ik has for its object the more eoo- comical administration of Government, the better protection of rights of the peo ple, and the giving more security to property of tho people.

In ad dition to these, five hundred tents will be erected iu the Park and special trains will be ran on four different Roods, to stations near by, starting at night and re turning at a convenient hour in tbe morn ing. We' think everybody may safely calculate npon getting a comfortable place to “put up" at. This will be good news for some who visited Macon last year. In speaking of the Fair the Savannah Republican says, “Twenty-five thousand lion. Clifford Anderson. We learn that the Democratic Execu tive Committee yesterday elected Hon. Clifford Anderson, of Bibb, Chairman. Mr. Anderson, all will who know him well concede, to be a safe man. There is no cooler or clearer head on young shoulders in tliis State.—Macon TcL «fr Me**. We regret that onrfriends of tho 7Vfe- •traph Messenger were nnable to pro cure for publication in their yesterday’s issue the full proceedings of the Demo cratic Executive Committee, which con vened in Macon Monday. Outside of the election of a Chairman, to fill the vacan cy occasioned by the illegal elevation of Mr. Linton Stephens to that position re cently in Atlanta, we scarcely can know what matters carno before the considera tion of the gentlemen present in commit tee. If their discharge of other issues of business, whatever they may have been, approximated tho wisdom, discernment and discretion displayed in the choice of their new Chairman, the good citizens of (leorgia will not fail to pronounce their work indeed “ well done. ’’ Mr. A i-demon is one of the most dis tinguished lawyers of our State; and this eminence has been achieved by stndions, unflagging and faithfnl devotion to his profession. Possessed of a clear and an alytical mind, trained by application and tilled with rich stores harvested in the great fields of the world’s thought and learning over which the mightiest dead nud the nobleat living have driven their intellectual ploughshares, and gifted with that tongue of eloquence whoso utter ances are terse and exhaustive as they are silver-sweet and pleasing, distinction at tho bar has como upon him as it were nat urally.—the pledged favor of that “ jeal ous mistress ” whoso smiling graces are lavishly bestowed only npon those who woo her with single and undivided hearts. The ollnrementa of popular fame J which to aspiring natures is so tempting by rea son of its far easier achievement than pro fessional distinction,' have never been icsl* being in power. The taxes, of *1 aud his wife,” and private boarding man for one year now, would, when Dem ocrats weie iu power, havopaid tho taxes for four or five years. Bat the black man says I have no property, therefore have no taxes to pay, lienee that question is of no interest tome. But we say you do’ have taxes to pay, and of this wc think you can be convinced. There is a legiti mate way of conducting every business, and eveiy man, studying his interest, fixes in bis mind a certain per cent, that he most make in liis business. To ex plain, suppose a man had $10,000 invest ed in a farm and desires to make ten per cent on the investment, can he not pay the hands he employs better wages if his taxes are only 20 cents or 40 oents on the $1,000 than he could when his taxes ore $4 and $6 on the$1,000; as thqy nrenovr ? The most stupid black man in the coun ty, we think, can see that he could. Then it is in this way that the black man pays taxes, and were it not for high taxes he would get from $23 to $50 more for his years’ labor than he now gets. I vet the black man not delude himself witii idea that he pays no taxes. Bnt let us ask the black man why he belongs to tho Radical party ? We < see no good reason in the world, and should be glad if some ono would give ns a reason, and wo here tender tLo col umns of the Repubucax for that pur pose. In this contest there are no na tional questions involved, and we should be glad to have the reason why the black peoplo wish to vote for the Radicals. The white and colored jieople are liv ing here together, are engaged in a com mon partnership, and carrying on the business of farming. The black man de sires to mako money—ho desires to get him a home of his ova—and with this end he goes to work, with the white man. He pnts into the partnership his labor— he has nothing else; tho white man puts his Land, stock, fanning tools, money and superior education and experience. This being true their interests arc mutu al—their efforts harmonize, and both make aliving and some money. Bnt sup pose they did not unite, what would tho result ? the black man would be ruin ed. Suppose, at the beginning of the 3 Beckwith will retide hereafter TELEOB A P.HIOT custody the oaths of drunken blashphe- my and the pains of brutal violence; til you can do these things, no man, combination of men can stop this reform. Its cause lies deep as human feeling it self. It draws its current from sources embedded in the very fastnesses of man’s nature. The reform then, will go on. It will go on because its principles are cor rect and the progress beneficent. The wave which has been gathering forco'aml for these fifty years will continue ta^oll, because tho hand of the Lord is under dollars in premiums are to be offered.— \ and back of it, and the denunciations of The citizens of Atlanta offer a special pre mium of $2,000 for the fastest trotting horse; $303 for the next best—“ open to the world. ” A resolution has been adopt ed unanimously by the Georgia State Ag ricultural Society, extending a cordial welcome to the North, to the East and to the West, to participate in tho grand ex hibition. Trains will leave Atlanta for the Fair Ground every thirty minutes in the day during the Fair, and special ar rangements will be mode for the accom modation of the Press. Premium lists can be obtained npon application to the Secretary Georgia State Agrireltural So ciety, Atlanta, Oa.” There is uo doubt but that visitors will be richly repaid in attending this Fair, and wc hope our section will be well re- presen ted. And just here we might prop erly coll upon our County Agricultural Societies to be making necessary arrange ments to be represented. Let meetings be held immediately, and let everything give way for tue Fair.
