The time for nominating a rajulidate lor Cop^raw, J^rom this district is near at hand, and the question now is, who shall he be* 1 W ^ ' h /»> 1 vc nA 1 1 WUhniafthe' si ii;] i tost' d ispnsi! ion 'to trial, aire 'sure guiflrato victory and Mrved ns in Congress,, yet ,we iiun the tiipe has arrived, when it becomes oar imperative duty to send ftom the South those men of. the largest ex perience, and which experience, tie gether with their natural ability con stitute them our ablest constitutional lawyers and debaters. Does not, Mr, Hill stand fore most in this class, not only in Georgia, but in the whole South? Certain ly his familiarity with constitutional law, from a long and extended ( iractico^ at the liar, and especially ram his experience as 1 Chairman of the judiciary committee of the Con federate Stutes Senate, has entitled him to this rank. In this position it became his duty to study, not only the laws, and principles of law, upon which, is founded the American Un ion and which govern the same, hut to familiarize himself fully with interna tional law. Not to draw an invidious comparison which will call into view his great’natural abilities, jet. who can gain say the assertion, that those ad vantage-, which pre-eminently fit a representative from the South, for the responsible duties now devolving upon him as such in Congress, are superior in Mr. Hill than in any other man in our country. Then would it not he t the interest not. only of the Oth Con gressional District, hut of Georgia and the whole South, to send Mr. Hill to Congress? Would it not show a pro per appreciation on onr part of true statesmanship, as well as our present great necessities as a wronged and op pressed people, to avail ourselves of the very best talent and experience to he found in our midst ? Is it at all consistent to continually cry, “ wolf, wolf” anil yet not take the proper steps to protect our sheep-folds? But it is said by some Mr. Hill i& not a citizen of the Oth Congressional Dis trict, and that it would be establishing a dangerous precedent to send him to Congress from a district to which he docs not belong. Upon this point we beg leave to present the following views. First, Mr. Hill says unhesi tatingly and without reservation, that his home is as much in this district as any other place in Georgia. That his law pratice demands his being a great deal in the City of Atlanta, it i>eing a central keep hoi aint, and finding it cheaper to pou disc while there, than to board he consequently purchased him a house for that purpose, but that he has ever considered Athens his true home, and as a proof thereof, has uninterrupted ly paid his poll and professional taxes iu Clarke County. Now I would ask, who but Mr. Hill himself, could or has.a right to declare his citizenship? Again, granting forarguementssake, that those who raise this question are right, and that he is not a bona fide citizen of this district, is it not our right and privilege to waive this ques tion and select him os our representa tive? most unquestionably! Such a right or privilege is neither inhibited by the constitution of this Slate or of the United States. Then again, an express declaration on the ]iart of the nominating convention, (if needs he, - ) that in as much as there exists a doubt in the minds of some, as to Mr. Hill’s true residence, there fore, we the representatives of the people of the 9tn Congressional Dis trict in convention assembled, waive all question as to his citizenship, and declare him our chosen candidate for Congress, would certainly preclude all chance of establishing a precedent which would interfere with, or in the ■lightest degree endanger, our perfect rights in the selection of our future re presentatives. In the earlier history t>f our State, the question as to residence or citizen ship. did pot enter into the selection of representatives in Congress, later it was deemed advisable to devide the Slate into Congressional Districts, that the tax ]layers might have direct re presentation, as doubtless for other good and prudential reasons. To all of this*, and these we unhesi tatingly and unqualifiedly accord great wisdom, in ns much ns it not only se cures equal rights and justice to all the |wople, hut enables the protection of thnt grand principle of constitutional right “that taxation shall lie entitled to direct representation." Nor would we advise or consent to that step which’ in our judgement would in the slightest degree interfere with, or for n moment endanger the justice, equality or con stitutional right; vouched safe under this wise and most equitable arrange ment,-but with the safeguard, as above cited, thrown around the action of our nominating convention, if it should he deemed necessary, we fear, no dnnger- ons -precedent, lio sncrafice of right or principle, and we believe that that in telligence, which does and has ever ’characterized the people if the Oth District, will lend them to see the wis dom of selecting Mr. Hill as their representative, in this the hour of our greatest need and political extremity. Citizeus of the 9th District, arouse to the importance of the occasion, finalize ful ly the opportunity which is now presented you for doing good, not only to yourselves but to your whole country. Behold your suffering sister states. Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississip- AJ*bama-r-y«c,' your twin sister, th OirpliWi.Wdoadedand bleeding us with one voice, say unto Mr. Hill on the 14th ol April next, buckle on thy full armour of statesman! march boldly, indefcnceof ti to the scene, fare of the Y sacra of ever thv people. 'Then Jet t people or thiirDi.strict on of May next, so stimulate and fit him for the lattle that he may go forth to prove, the hero and champion of American liberties as guaranteed under a Republican form of government, Southern Rights and the Constitution, as well as the pridejuid- fd°ITlPf Georgia, the largest share <>f which shall belong to the 9th Congressional District. macggWeaasfc -irrr- - John Jones, the State Treas- Viter.' ni i .i i ! We have just read \yith pleasure, the statement of the above-named functionary of our government, which to our mind. fuUy vindicates him against the charges preferred by the Joint Finance Committee of the Le gislature and passed upon by that body during its i-Qceptsession.» This statement of Col. Jones is not only a strong defense of that high character for honesty and official in tegrity which has endeared him in the heart of every Georgian, but confirms us in the jtotition it was our privilege to assume on the fl -or of the House of Representatives, that any hasty ac tion in this matter by tho General Assembly would but be, to practice injustice to both the State and the Treasurer. Was the report of the Committee made from a thorough and satisfactory investigation of the .State Treasury ? or was it based upon conclusions drawn from an examination which the want of time or any other circumstances rendered incomplete? In either event, wo must hold, that the report would not justify the reso lutions which were offered for the adoption of the General Assembly.— Without any disposition to here argue this grave question or to take that issue with the Committee which would in the least degree, cull into question their honesty of purpose or conscien tious discharge of duty, yet, in all sin cerity, we would a.-k, “ would justice to the people of Georgia and to the credit of their State, sustain the Le- islature in adopting a resolution which charges upon the Treasurer such con duct in office and such utter incom- pctency as has impared the credit of the State and endangered the public Treasury, followed by censure—for not only gross improprieties in office, but a direct infraction of the laws govern ing the same—and then further, sus tain that body in the adoption of a resoultion continuing such an officer in so important a department of the Government? Can the appointment of a Financial agent or Assistant who must necessarily be under the control and instruction of the Treasurer, justi fy such a course ?”• We must confess our inability to see this as a wise or just disposition of the matter cither to the State or the ac cused, and therefore, must beg leave to enter our protest against the action of the Legislature: It is true that the session had already been prolonged con- sideralby over the Constitutional time, but was this sufficient excuse for so hasty an action upon so grave and im portant a question? Again it was as serted hy able lawyers, that the law was too imperfect to reach the case.— Then, was it not the duty of the Le gislature to perfect the laws? Should the fear of outside clamor against pro longation or eagerness to return home have prevented legislators from the discharge ol a high and responsible duty to the State as well as to an ac cused citizen of our Commonwealth ? However cautiously the resolution may have been worded, or strong the declaration that the honesty of Treas urer Jones had not been impugned, Vet, that high official character, which a long and devoted service to his native State had gained him, and which is all that a ruthless war left him for a support in his old age, must unavoid ably suffer. i ■ God forbid that it may ever again be said of a Georgia Legislature, thftt it permitted any excuse whatever to cause that Representative body of the people to so for loose sight of that justice which should be accorded to all men and which is so sacredly guarded by our common Constitution, ns to refuse a full and thorough opportunity for the vindication of character, which is dearer than all other treasures. • It is intimated, that the apparent inconsistency and injustice in the reso lutions may cause them to fail of their purpose which at last, may require an extra session of the Legislature, or the Treasury De partment, according to the report of the Committee, will be left in an inse cure condition. Then, how much better and wiser it would have be n for articles of impeachment to have been pre ferred by the House of Representa tives and the whole matter referred to the Senate, whieh the law plainly indicates ns the proper tribunal for the settlement of all such cases. Then would Col. Jones have received justice and the credit of the State been main tained by his exoneration Tram so grave and serious charge*, or the dig nitv of the Legislature and the safety and regularity of the Treasury l<ecn preserved, by his expulsion from office.
