As wi'l be seen, by reference to the Report of the Executive Committees in another column, the nomination of candidates fur the Democracy ofDeca tur wiM lake place in Bainbridge on the First Tuesday in September Next. Said nominations arc to made by a committee composed three delegates from each militia dis trict in the county. In nominating these candidates the committee should take special care to select men who are most popular with the masses. His being a farmer Bhould add no more to his qualifications as a candidate than if a lawyer, a mechanic or a merchant. The m’ain requisites should be incorruptible Democracy ability, integrity and popularity with tho party. The committee must not speak for itself, but for the Demo cratic party, therefore > its delibera lions must be outside of personal in terests. We approve of the idea of a mass meeting as advanced by our corres pondent “Junius” in another column, for then the inevitable perplexities that will surround the nominating committee may be avoided, nod the nominations made more acceptable— to the peop'c: besides the committee will be relieved of half its responsibili ty. There is considerable of that spirit among the people as evinced by the letters of “Jusius” and “Rough Hand,” and it does seem to us that the managers of the party can lose nothing by promptly dispe.Iiug it. The hope of Decatur county is in the selection of candidates; and should we fail in exerting the. proper wisdom in the matter, by placing unaccepta ble men in the lead, the county must still remain under its present Radi cal regime. We must not pander to the prejudice of any particular person, •ring or clique, but upon a careful es timate of the inclination and wishes of the entire party we must predi cate a nomination. Auother thing we would suggest as worthy of consideration is, that great er effort should bo made by the party to secuie the co-operation of the working men of the county. We mean by that the mechanics and the smaller farmers. They are the salvation of onr country—the bone and sinew of it; and although their bauds may be hardened and their cheeks bronzed by the tortid sun, they have hearts as noble, aud prisciples as pure at ever wete embosomed in man. ■ If there are really “rings” and “cliques,” as complained of by our correspondents, we would respectfully refer them to the fact that the Democ racy will uot abide their decisions; and if it cao be-proven that nominations are made at the option of “rings” con trary to the will of the entire party, we are at liberty to state that such action will not be recognized as bind ing upon the party. \Y« do no*, ap prehend any danger ol this kind, however, but it ia best- to put all od their guard We hope that every man in the county who is interested in this elec tion, will, write ns about the matter. Let us bear from you—give cs vour vie*s, and tha saim s of your favorite so that wo can keep the Editor Democrat: Notwithstanding the patriotism anti-favoritism, and apparent disin terestedness of ihc leaders of the De catur Democracy, I am very fearful that the nominating Committee will be guided more by a certain “ring than by the dictates of the people’: will in their selection of candidates, Its all very well to speak to the people about party usage, and par ty obligation—that objectionable or unobjectionable you must support the nominees. But if the people are not heard .n this matter of nomina tion are they to be bound by^it'? it reasonable to expect them to" sup port objectionable candidates be cause they have found favor in the few committeemen charged with the nomination? I answer emphatical ly, no. . Decatur is tamous for putting can didates on the party that t]ie voice of the party, if it could be heard otftskle ofits “cut and dried” dele gations, never had before commen ded. Mr. So-so lias his favorite, and a Mr. So-so is chairman of a meeting, so he appoints the first" 3Ir. S. on‘ the nominating committee, then he, the first 31r. S. votes for his friend, and he is nominated to the disgust of the party. It is time this state of tilings had ceased. It is time old “oldfogydom” had bpeft stormed, captured and destroyed. , It is lime the poor working people of*Decatur county were allowed to raise their voice in behalf of men of their own choice. Look at our public meetings; they arc never attended by our laboring classes, and why ? Because they are never allowed to be beard in the matte.'; whether from intent or not oh the part of the managers, I am not prepared to say. - . One thing is sure, a certain clique is always placed on committees, &c., and, the people never really have anything to do with the matter— hence, the majority never attend. This thing must be stopped. The party want no “old fogy,” or “mam my’s apron string” candidates—non those who “know too much about farming,” or the stuck-up “limbs of tlic law” whose only importance arises from their own estimation. Old chronic politicians who pulled the party strings a half century ago must stand aside. They’ve got no business attempting to control that which has virtually passed beyond their control. I think, therefore, that on the Saturday proceeding the day of nom ination, a mass meeting of the peo ple of Decatur county should be held for the purpose of nominating a ficket from the people to place be fore the nominating committee on the day appointed for their meeting. By so doing the people can mate rially check the wire-workings that are always manifest at such times. am in favor of a mass nomination out-and-out, and it seems to me the height of nonsense to conduct county nominations other-wise, but at pres ent our only recourse is for the mass meeting to place names before the committee. Let every Democrat whos patriotism rises above the in clinations of self unite in this matter, and have the chairman of the Execu tive Committee of the county to call said mcetting. Junius. August Cth, 1S72. think of my last piece;” but must content himself with letting what he soys have the effect it may, without enjoying the “glory.”- In fact, I don't like this way your town chaps have of patting such a fellow as “H. F. S.” on the shoulder and telling him “its good,” when they mean by “good” that be has made an ass of himself. .Regretting, Mr. Editor, that “H. F. S.” will not in future allow us the benefits to be derived from bis “log ical” mind, I am, mournfully, Y. D. F." candidate?, party fully informed. We Lave two Editor Democrat: Had “H. F. S.” not have proceed ed afterwards to give you a reply to my letter of the 25th ult.", I should consider his determination to “pay no more attention to anything which may emanate from” me as a final settlement between that eminent gentlemen and myself. The reason why “Y. D. F.” writes incog., may be explained in this way:—Being at a distance from town, and possessed of ordinary modesty, he has neither the oppor tunity nor the inclination to condense all the Fourth-of-July speeches he knows of and the gism of all the blood and thunder tales to be found in a collection such as “H. F. S.” would fancy, into a newspaper article and then strut the c’itv about, in- Proceedings of the Democratic Executive Committee of De catur County. At a meeting for consultation, held this day, of the County and District Executive Commitcce ot this county, the Chairman of the Executive Com mittee was in the chair. " On Motion of Col. C. J. Munner- lyn, Resolved, That the Democracy and Liberal Republicans of each District in the county be and arc hcrehy Invited to meet at their re spective court grounds on the 4th Saturday of August, instant, there and then to nominate and select three Delegates each to the County Nominating Convention, to be held on first Tuesday in September prox., to nominate candidates for the House of Representatives and various county offices, and that due and ample notice of this action be given by publication in the two Democratic newspapers in this piace, and b\ no tice specially published by-the re spective District Executive Commit tees at three of the most public places in their respective Districts. Resolved, That said District Ex ecutive Committees will, on saidffirst Saturday in August, organize their respective District Clubs and are hereby earnestly urged thoroughly to canvass their respective Districts and if possible secure the attendance and presence of evei’y Democrat and Conservative in their respective Districts at said meetings and en rolled as members of such Clubs. On motion of L. M. Griffin, Esq., Resolved, That as our friends in Mitchell county have invited us to designate the time and place of hold- the Nominating Convention for this (18th) Senatorial District, that the Chairman of this meeting be and is hereby instructed to invite thq Delegates from Miller and Mitchell counties to meet the Delegates from this county, on a basis of one dele gate from each Militia District in the several counties in a Convention to be held in Bainbridge, at 12 o’clock morning, on the first Tuesday in September prox., for the purpose of selecting a candidate for *said 18th Senatorial District.- On motion, Resolved, That mem bers W. O. Fleming, H. G. Craw- l'ord, C. G. Campbell, Edward R. eabody and Win. Warfield, be and are hereby appointed to draft a plan of organization xtnd rules of govern ment ior the District Clubs, with in structions to* publish and distribute to said Clubs through their Execu- tive Committees, on or before the fourth Saturday in August inst. The call of the Chairman of the Congressional District Committee for a District Nominating Conven tion, having been read, on motion of H. G. Crawford, Resolved, That a County Conven tion of the Democracy and Liberal Republicans be and is called to meet at Bainbridge on the first Tuesday in'September pirox., to select Dele gates to represent this county or. the same District Nominating Conven tion. Before adjourning it was, on mo tion of that tried, true And veteran Democrat, H. G. Crawford, Resolved, That as a Convention composed of County and District Committeemen, we hereby pledge ourselves as said Committeemen and as Democrats to bend every energy and work incessantly and without ceasing, to accomplish the defeat of Radicalism and the purging ot our county of its corruptions and misrule, and for the triumph of Constitutional freedom and a pure administration of the aljiirs of government, nation al, State and county. ■ That in the recent glorious triumph in North Carolina we have ar. earn est illustration of what may be ac complished by unremitting, incessaut work and energy; and that we, in our county, will emulate and draw inspiration from an example as sug gestive as it is glorious. In publishing the above actioD of- your Committee, allow-me, in behalf of the cause which we prize so highly and whence our organization and General Grant persists in pursuing, is giving him daily doses of advice which must be so much physic to him. Here is a specimen: The Republican party should bear it in mind that the war of the rebell ion is over. No armed rebels mock the majesty of federal authority in North Carolina; no hostile artillery thunders against our forts in Charles ton harbor; no gray-coated sharp shooter draws a bead on the blue uniform by the waters of the Missis sippi. General Grant’s victories changed all that. We arc now all loyal citizens. Those only who would cherish the resentments of the war are public enemies. Let the Presi dent assume the command oi the government as of old he commanded the army. Let him, by the exercise of executive power,remove the troop which held white citizens of Southern States under the control of their late slaves, withdraw his confidence from the carpet-bag thieves, who threaten voters with arrest and imprisonment it they dare speak their sentiments, and give us a free and fair election in every State in the Union. The East of the Bourbons. A Bolter Interviewed—Wiiat Will be Done at Louisville- Great Expectations—A Gree ley Democrat to be Nominated . on a Straight Ticket to Elect Grant.. Among the Baltimore bolters was Judge Van Allen, of Watkins, this State. The Judge is known as one of the anti-Greeley, old Bourbon Democrats, and 'it is' understood that lie is working in caucus .with others of his kind to secure the suc cess of the coming Free-trade, Labor- Reform, Old Democratic Conven tion in Louisville. Tic has been stopping ac the St. Nicholas Hotel during his stay of a few days in the city, and, just priorto his departure yesterday, many facts were gleaned from him as to the feeling .of the true Democrats” who will support neither Greeley nor Grant, but who propose, at Louisville, to nominate and independent ticket for President; and as to the proposed future action of his party, which, from the fpllow- interview, a pretty correct un derstanding can. be had: What is the intention of the dele gates when they get. to Lousville, to the Convention, wliieji, I am inform ed, will be held on the 3d of Septem ber next?” ; To make a straight out-and-out Democratic nomination.” What effect had the ratification of 31r. Greeley at Baltimore?” Throughout the country there arc many Democrats who are not satisfied with the nominating of a Republican at Baltimore, and who look upon the result of the Baltimore Convention as a move to the final disbandment of the Democratic organization. There arc thousands upon thousands of Democrats, all over the country who wilj not vote for 3Ir. Greeley under tiie circum stances,-nor will they vote for Grant. “What will they do, then—will they not cast votes at all?” “These, sir, like good Democrats, demand the putting up of a canidate on a Democratic platform, as has been the custom for years and years. For such a candidate they will vote, and for no other.” “What if the Convention at Lou isville or anywhere else fail to make a nomination? “If such a candidate is not placed in nomination they will remain away from the polls.” “What is going to be done at Lou isville?” “The Convention will be held by thpgc who have no choice between Greeley and Grant. The work is not for the piesent, but for the fu ture, and men are wanted of suffi cient capacity, integrity and hones ty, to be made the standard bearers in a great campaign like this. The object is not to defeat 3Ir. Greeley nor Mr. Grant. It is to preserve tlje Democratic party as a bold and vigorous organization with its princi ples; working all the time to defend and inspire its prominent men to stand by them; thinking more for encouraging our own than of reward. The best fight will be made that can be made, and the best man that can found will be nominated. We will have an electoral ticket in every State, poll every vote we can, and’ gain as much strength a's possible, earing nothing of what becomes of any other candidate in the field. Several letters have been reoeived by the parties at the head of this movement proposing the name of Charles O'CoDnor, with some good Western man for Vice President. The names of Senator Thurman, of Is fhere a Democrat who has not asserted again and again that a change of administration is neces sarv to the salvation of the country? Is there one who has mere confi dence in Grant than ho had when he voted against him in 18GS ? Has Grant done amythingto beget such confidence or to lessen our appre hension ? Has. lie not, ever since he acquired power, turned his back on his saying, “Let us have peace, that contributed so much to bring him into power ? Have not the harsh est and most unconstitutional meas ures that his partisans could devise received his sanction—if, indeed, they were not suggested by him ? Has he not shown an unmistakable predilection for a government of force, supplemWited by a corrupt use of public patronage ? Was the despotism of party ever so fierce and unrelenting as it has been under'his administration ? And does i.ot every Democrat feci that any change of administration must be for the better—at least that none can be for the worse? 'Why then hesitate? Our choice is confined to Grant and Greeley. We must support one or the other, or do what an American citizen should be aslnncd to da— *'• liter_Uyrefusing to vote. Greeley has always been opposed to us, but now, in-many*.things, he agrees with us. Grant, was once a Democrat, but. now lie is totally # op- pdsed to Democracy. Whatever others may think I prefer a consis tent opponent, governed by princi ple, to a renegade Democrat, turned into a bitter and persecuting Radi cal. We do make some sacrifice of pride and prejudice in supporting Greeley, but we do not make a sac rificc of principle. Our principles oquire us to defeat Grant’s re-clcc tion, if in our power to do so. Being unable, in the present posture of affairs, to defeat him with a Demo crat, common sense dictates that we should do the next best thing, defeat him with Greeley. That Greeley’s election would do much to allay dis cord and restore harmony, cannot be doubted, l’cacc would then be a reality, and not. a mere name. And that his Administration would'do more to expel the abuses and cor ruption that disgra.ee public affairs, may, 1 believe, be safely affirmed. Entertaining these views, I hope to sec him elected. and death. - Resolved, That the thanks of the Lodge be tendered to Onon Lodge No. 8, of Bain bridge, Ga., for the burial .of the remains ot our departed brother. • DECLARATION. It Was well known to ns that onr late brother had contracted that fatal disease, consumption. Ou the 22nd day of June. 1871, in feeble health he left ns for Rain- bridge, Ga., where he had made arrange ments once more to return to mercantile pursuits, hut it was evident that his days wi re few; yet it wms possible that-they might l>e prolonged, and his friends still hoped, as it Here, against hope. A^is! how soon was That hope doomed to disappointment. Ou the 2!lth day of December last his soul went out on the great sea which rolls around the world. In view of the many virtues of our departed brother, we cannot forbear to say that he was a man of sterling worth, a good and efficient citizen, and a faithful and stead fast friend; and during the palmy days of his prosperity noted for his charity, ever ready to help the needy. Asa Mason he w its devoted to the Order. His wit and vivacity, not less than his easy manner, anil rare in tellect, voluntarily brought him in contact .w ith the refined, among whom he had a host of friends, who loved him as a brother and now mourn his loss. Scrupulously correct principles, a rigid sense of. duty, amounting nervous exactness, even in the'minutest affairs, refined and artistic in tastes, and a ;enial disposition through prolonged suffer- ug, was the characteristic of our departed brother. Let u$ have faith that his spirit has soared to realms above, and hope that he abideth not in death, and charity as the Scripture tcacheth us that as brother Francis M.

From thcEufaula (Alabama)A 7 m'.v we extract the following caul from a collot'Qd man, showing why he and bis brethren should support Greeley: A CARD. I take this method of announcing to my colored brethren that I con sider it my duty to advocate the election of Greeley and Brawn in this presidential canvass, and that I expect to take the stump and de liver several speeches before the election in November next, and shall invite all to hear me. 1 have stud ied this matter thoroughly, and have come to llie conclusion that Horace Greeley has been and is now the best friend to the. colored men in America, and that it is to him, more than all others, wc are indebted for freedom, and I feel that should I not vote for him, I would be wot than an Infidel. Mr. Greeley state to a colored man lrom Texas on last Friday that he was in favor of equa lights among all men, regardless of color, and in saving this he repeats what lie lias always said, and now stands where lie has stood lor forty or fifty years, while General Grant was a pro-slavery Democrat before the war. And while the war was going on he said, “that if Mr. Gree ley and the North tried to free the slaves, he would sheathe his sword and stop fighting.” And it seems to me tljat all the use he and his party have for coloicd men is'fo get their votes and keep them in office. I am nor.a Democrat, bur I am a Greeley Republican, and expect to vote for him single shot, and don’t think any man has a right to dispute my freedom to do so. Mr. Greeley says peace and freedom to all the world, and that being my motto I shall not argue with iny brethren on the streets, but, when the time comes, will declare my. principles from the stump. Come with me, my colored brethren, and let us vote for and elect Horace Greeley—the man that gave us our freedom, and then we will have peace, good will and brotherly love in our country. Simon Ward.
