In THIS FAITH, AND WITH THE DIS TINCT UNDERSTANDING THAT IF ELECTED, I SHALL HE THE PRESIDENT, NOT OF A PARTY, BUT OF THE WHOLE PEOPLE, I ACCEPT YOUR NOMINATION, IN THE CONFIDENT TRUST THAT THE MASSES OF OUR COUNTRYMEN, NORTH AND South, are eager to clasp hands across 'i’HE BLOODY CIIASM, WHICH HAS TOO LONG DI VIDED THEM; Forgetting that they have BEEN ENEMIES; lit THE JOYFUL CONSCIOUSNESS THAT THEY ARE, AND MUST HENCEFORTH REMAIN, brethren. — Horace Greeley. A MEMBER OF THE CONVENTION Os 24th iiist., steps to the front in vin dication of its action in refusing to enter tain the “intrinsically just and reasonable proposition ” of the Liberals to support our State and National ticket, provided the Convention would give them a place on our National electoral ticket: As “member” identifies hihiseif— pre sume intentionally—by his signature, we are at liberty to reply. He is fiot anony mous. “ Member,” like an experienced swords man parries the direct thrust. What lie cannot meet and overcome, he adroitly dodges and aims a blow, to divert his an tagonists attention from [his unguarded weakness. Those who censure the Con vention, censure it not for rejecting prop ositions from Joe Brown, but from five gentlemen—let them represent 15,000, §oo, 50 or 5, i. e., themselves, is of no con sequence to the issue—and thus going back ypon its own record, stultifying its own previous action and impugning its own mo tive g Member,” vindicates the Conven tion for rejecting propositions from u Joe Broun” This species of special pleading, however adroit, is unworthy the head of “ Member,” as his insidious appeal—wliile seemingly deprecating such appeals—to the 'to and prejudices, and perhaps just in dignation of our people against his stolf raised enemy “ Joe Brown,” is discredita ble to his heart. Both fall beneath the dig nity o lithe occasion ; both fail to partake of the spirit of “ reconciliation,” which is the vivifying soul of the party in this cam paign at least. But “Member,” after abandoning the true issue ; after erecting his Quixotic wind mill only that he may batter it down, re sorts to unknightly weapons to effect this purpose. He is unfair, even to Joe Brown. Says he, Humor has it, that Joe will run /or Governor.” “Member” should have added if, and ohly if, his lease is interfered with by the Legislature. But, says he, “ the Convention was satisfied that this was a scheme of Brown to make capital for the approaching State election.” There now is the'ikSue • While protesting bes orehand against being classified as the appologist of Brown, “Member ” will permit us to ask how the Convention became satisfied. Cer tainly not from the Liberals communication, because they distinctly claim that their propositi or: 1 is “ conceived” in the “spirit of conciliation, liberality and harmony.” Cer tainly,- the Convention were not so satisfied, from any information received from their own committee, to whom the negotiations had been entrusted and who, presumptive ly at least, were best informed on the sub* ject because, in fheiri report, they distinctly admit that the Liberal? were “ engaged inf a common cause and impelled by the same political motives, and compliance with the “just and reasonable claim” of the Liber als, would be “practically uniting them vritS the Democracy, as an integral part of its organization.” Here we see what both : parties to the contract think of the propo- j sition, and whether there was any “scheme” J of “Joe’s,” or of anybody. But not satisfied with his conjecture or : gratuitous assumption that it was a scheme of “Joe’s,’ Member proceeds to predicate this inference upon—a fact, which satisfied liis mind and which he would have us believe satisfied the Convention. We protest against this. The fact did not exist! And we are.un willing to believe that the Convention will risk the vindication of their conduct upon what satisfies “ Member.” So far from ob serving that the first .pi oposition of the Liberals, pretermitted any expression of their intention to support the State ticket, and “ Joe ” only resorted to this expedient to make somebody “feel bad,” after the Lib eral proposition, as first made was declined by the Democratic Committee, we find quite the contrary. The first proposition of the Liberals—we quote from the proceedings— was couched in the following language : “We beg leave to express the earnest hope that our proposition may be met in the sprnt of conciliation, liberality and har mony in which it is conceived, and to this end we respectfully request that* you ap point a committee of conference to consult with the undersigned that we may agree upon* a just and equitable basis of union, which must result in a cordial co-operation in State as well as Federal elections, or that such other mode be adopted to accomplish the desired end as your wisdom may sug gest.” Surely, “Member ” was not in the House at all, or he would have known whereof he wrote—or it maybe, such was his hate, and hostility to this horrid Ogre, Joe Brown, which his heated imagination has substitu ted in place of a party of five gentlemen, coming with their hearts in their hands to the Denidcracy, and with Reconciliation as their watchword, asked to be recognized in State politics, on the same platform, but on conditions less generous to themselves than those upon which the Democracy affil iated with their party in "National politics, that his mind lost its balance—or perhaps, “Member” was just rousing from a post prandial nap after a Kimball-House dinner; “ Member ” may have been ignorant of the record—may have so feared “Joe”—may have had no more confidence in the intelli gence and virtue of the people; than to ap pffehend that Gbv. Smith’s election was perilled fry Brown’s candidacy, though run nit g avowedly in the interest of his Rail road lease. But that the Convention be lieved any such thing, is too absurd for cre dence. That “ Member ” believed it, shows that he has no right to complain at the censures of those who condemn the action of the Convention, as harsh, ungenerous, illiberal, impolitic and unstatesmanlike. Out of his own mouth, he stands condemned, and naked in liis guilt. If “ MembeY ” states truly the animus of the Convention and its motive's, then generous and just Dem ocrat will continue to cry out a thousand shames upon such “ Diplomacy.” I'hat “Member” and the Convention shaped their “ Diplomacy,’ contrary to the will of the real diplomats manifests the justice of those' who censui'e them. The real diplomats upon the occasion were a committee, consisting of Hon. James Jack son, James Gardner, R. B. Trippe, W. F. Wright, and A. R. Lamar: 'this commit tee, mostly Gamaliels at whose feet durself and—“ Member” will pardon us if wo add, himself also—might learn political wisdom, who were behind the scenes—confronted this ogre “ Joe ” and his friends in the conference room—knew their animus and intentions, weighed their motives and tested their sincerity, reported as follows : Your committee consider the claim intrin sieally just and reasonable, but entertaining the coriviction that it would be unacceptable to this cbnftrttion and that its rejection would ,be disastrous to the best interest of the Democratic party in this State and in other States, decline to recommend ii But the committee, though placing them selves right upon the record, in “ consider ing the claim intrinsically just and reason able”—satisfied that it would be “ Unaccep table to the convention,” were compelled to bend before the storm of folly and pas sion, else as R. M. J. says into-days eot respondence, the committee misconceived the sentiment Os the Convention. They bowed to what even their skilled “diplomacy” and enlarged statesmanship could not con trol.Jlf the committee w are satisfied, it strikes us that the Convention should have been. If the committee did not fear the Ogre, or that the acceptance of the Liberal propo sition would have imperilled the State tick et (of which the Convention seems to have been so solicitous,) and if the Committee were satisfied of the animus and intentions of the Liberals, we cannot for the life Os us; see how the Convention were wiser, more prudent or possessed of a more skillful “di plomacy ” than the Plenipotentiaries them selves, the committee. Perhaps “ Member,” like every sensible reader, will upon reflec tion, discover that masses of men in Con vention, partake more of the popular prej udices and passions, than the cool, diplo matic committee, in the quiet and repose of a conference room —that the cool heads and diplomatic experience of a Jackson, Trippe, or Gardner, were more apt to eli minate true statesmanship and correct pol- j icy than a mass of delegates, who think far j ess than they talk, and as often con sult their passions, as their judgment in shaping their policy. Sd much for this vindication. Wliile we decline to mount the s+*Rs of arrogant su periority and courteously! denounce as “silly,” those who sanction the action of 1 the Convention, we must be permitted respectfully to ask better reasons than “'Member” gives before we can subscribe to such illiberal and ungenerous diplomacy —•~ . % NORTH CAROLINA. This gallant old State, lately the victim of Grant’s night-riders, is the first battle ground of the campaign. The election took place on Thursday, August Ist. The ad ministration have bent every energy to the work of carrying the State. In addition to $250,000 sent direct from the Treasury, ostensibly to enforce the Uqited States laws against the ku-klux, but really to buy up influence among the purchasable whites, and $50,000 in silver half dollars, to reach the marketable black sovereigns, the ad ministration has also sent down 1,000 blank ku-klux warrants, doubtless to be used in the last resort —a novel persuader of votes —but no less effectual w« apprehend. Not content with those for the campaign, Boutwell abandoned liis office for the stump—but soon lqft in dis gust at the effect produced by hit protest” against “clasping hands across the bloody chasm.” Delano held on a few days longer, while Wilson fled incontinently after find ing’ that even his prestige and rank, though aided by much newspaper puffing, drum, ming of Grant’s henchmen and blowing of trumpets, never rallied an audience of over 150 hearers—black spirits and gray—to listen to his lubrications. What a commentary upon free institu tions does this hurried resume of the cam paign present ? What a departure from the example of the Fathers ? What a bur lesque upon the elective franchise ? Curren cy for weak whites, impoverished by years of war —glittering “shiners” for Sambo; who has been so often duped, that now likfi Tom Benton, he stands on hard money iiL dealing with carpet-baggers —even if they be candidates for Vice President or incumbents of the Treasury Department— and to awe into subjection those who they cannot bity or intimidate 1,000 criminal warrants, with a ready and irresponsible affidavit maker and that modern Jeffreys, Judge Bond, ready to do the dirty work of the administration. Fit instruments in deed, for such a party —bribery and fear money and warrants —Boutwell and Bond. The result will be known in a few days. The administration boasts that all is well ; but as they admit the effect of defeat would be all but fatally disastrous, and because they have defied public opinion so glaringly, we rather hope flian believe that their wish is Father to their thought, and like the timid school boy, passing through the grave yard, so much whistling is rather to keep their courage up* than from any truer cause. Governor Varies, however, writes to a friend in Washington, that he “ cannot doubt tlie election of Judge Merriman.” — D. M. Barringer, Chairman State Executive Committee, writes “that the Democracy will carry at least seven Congressmen and a majority on joint ballot in tlie Legisla ture—conte st for Governor will be close, but after careful survey and canvass, that Merriman will be elected.” The Raleigh Sentinel puts down the Conservative ma jority as high as Bto 12,000. This may safely be said ; that if the Conservatives win, they will have achieved a triumph, glorious indeed ; and if they fail, they will have cause to execrate an administration, Which prostitutes government to the base purpose of party and party itself to the, if possible, baser purpose o : f keeping itself in power; For the Legislature; Our readers may have observed that we studiously avoid bringing out or endorsing nominations for any oflice in the county, whether for the Legislature or not, because we expect to abide tlie action of the County Convention on that subject. If we could, we would not influence its action. They are the representatives of the people and will know what the people want. Our readers will pardon a departure from this course, so far as to recognize the com pliment proposed to be paid the “ fourth estate,” in the nomination of Ben Russell, of the Democrat, for the Legislature,’Ben is a sound Democrat, able, popular,- energet ic, and if nominated and elected, will make a good Representative, Notwith standing, the matter is in the hands of the people—and we would t not have our opin ion weigh one feather’s weight in the scale against their judgment when assembled in Convention, fresh from the people and ap prized of their wishes; The Ruling Dynasty; 'We don't propose either to ran a Court Journal, or to enact Jenkins, but as we live under a dynasty which acts upon the theory that the government was created for the special support of himself and his family, we call attention to the list of those who now hold office and who iriay be in the line of succession to the Purple. It would be criminal ignorance in a good subject, not to know, by name at least, the Princes of the blood. This list of those who are now fed bv the people’s taxes, is avowedly incom plete, but accurate as far as it goes. It will be seen, that it includes not only the brothers-in-law —the Dents, Caseys and Cramers, but cousins and cousin's cousins. editorial correspondence. Atlanta, Ga., July 27, 1872. Pear Sun : We suppose it is about time you should hear from us. We arrived here on Tuesday afternoon last, and attended the Convention on Wednesday. Th’e meet ing was very harmonious, and Governor James M. Smith, aS VOtf tfie already aware, was nominated by acclamation, not a dis senting voice being raised. Since the Con vention, however, considerabTd dissatisfac tion has been manifested, not with the nomination of Got. Smith, bitt froni the fact that the proposition made by the Lib eral Republicans for a co-operating move ment was rejected by the Committee. The impression may go out through the State that the Convention rejected the petition from the Liberals. That is not the case. The Convention had naught to do with it. It in the hands of a committee, who, for what reason no sensible man can divine, rejected the proposition, killed off, or at tempted to kiil off fifteen thousand votes from the State Democratic ticket. Five men spoke for the Convention and for the people of Georgia, which is usually the case. People here seem to think that the Con vention was controlled by a ring, or at least there was too much of the “ cut and dried ” about the whole affair, and for our self we are not niuch disposed to contradict that impression. The General Assembly is now in session, and both houses are working very hard and disposing of business with alacrity. We have heard it intimated that the Legisla ture will endeavor to set aside the lease sf the State road, and that in that event Jo seph E. Brown will be a candidate for Gov ernor, and it is thought that his opposition to Smith is not to be despised if he can carry thfe Grantites and rings to his support; This is drily an idea, and Gov. Brown nday have no idea of being a candidate, iiideed we dd riot think he has. i- ■* •, We had the pleasure of a visit to his E£- 'cellency, Gov. Smith. We found him as we expected, a clever and agreable gentle man. He spoke very hopefully of the future of our State. We think that Gov. Smith has done better, since he occupied the Ex ecutive Chair than any other man who could have been placed therein, and no one could honestly and reasonably object to his re-electieu, and the little petty opposition finds its origin in mercenary motives alone- We also called on Joseph E. Brown.—- We were much pleased with our visit. We leave here to-night for the Springs, when you will hear from us further and more at length. Truly yours, R. M. J. Mr. Wilson’s Record. We invite the special and attentive pe rusal by our foreign born readers, of what this candidate for their votes says' arid thinks of them. This man, you will re member, inherited the patfoihiriic of Col braith, but his immediate ancestor having been found guilty of appropriating some one rise’s horse, abandoned tlie name— went back on his sire and assumed the name of Wilson. Whether the jury who tried the issue between the Commonwealth and Colbraitli, Sr., were composed of hon est foreigners or not, the record does not inform us. Perhaps, after all, this may account for the milk in the cocoanut. See outside. Mr. Maples of Mitchell County for the Senate. By reference to our column of announcements, it will be seen that this gentleman announces him self as Democratic Candidate for the Senate, for this District. Mr. Maples is an old citizen of this section, has represented Baker County in both houses of the Legislature, and so far as We know, with satisfaction to his constituents. Whether Mr. M. proposes to abide the action of the nomi nating convention we are not informed. Mr. M requests us to say that he will address our people, at Lime Sink, on Saturday, 10th inst., and at other places during the canvass—that he proposes to make a thorough canvass of trie Dis trict. Jubilation; On Monday night next, the Young Democracy, Old Democracy—Liberal Republicans and all lovers of honest government and haters of despo tism and corruption, propose to hold a fgrand torch light procession in honor of the Old Nortfi State. Let everybody turn ofitt. Ta¥ heels de serve the iompliment. Crops in Mitchell and Baker bounties’ Editor Sun.—Having just returned 1 /rote a tour, through Mitchell and Baker counties, I Will make.' through yohr columns, a report of the crop pros pect in those counties as they struck me. Thd com crop along our whole route appeared very fitfe iri a majority of cases—in no case poor, except oh one plantation, which I will not-mention, as it is now too lkte for criticism to help the matter. The late rains have thus saved the corn crop, when' ft had been given up for lost. The cotton crop we viewed closely.. From reports, we had expected to' see the finest since the war, but we were mistaken. The weed is perhaps the finest since the war, but, if judging by the fruit or the prospect for fruit it certainly is not a flattering prospect for a cotton crop! The crop as a very general thing ! is too young and fierice the poor prospect, - We have had occular demonstrations that the catterpillar report is not a inyrth but a reality. They have commenced their ravages and fprim ers say that the third crop of them, which will be ofc hand in about 15 days, will sweep the crops; and if so a majority of the farmers, who have late cot ton crop3, cannot make more than a third of a crop—so think I. With no catterpillar knd a late fall the crop would have been large. OBSERVER, GLORIOUS NEWS. 10,000 MAJORITY I THE ADMINISTRATION DEFEAT ED. RA DICA LISM DOOMED ! HURRAH FOIt OLD TAR HEELS! !

Crawford, died at his residence in Belair, near Augusta, last Sat urday, aged 74. Hon. James Johnson, Provisional Gov ernor, by appointment of Andrew Johnson, died in Columbus on 30 th inst. At the time of his death, was Judge of Chattahoo chee Circuit, and one of tho best on the bench in the State. A call is published in tho Atlanta Sun, the State Bourbon organ, inviting all Dem ocrats opposed to either wing of the Re publicans. They call it straightout —maybe Blanton Duncan has found a candidate. Riot nt Savannah. —Negroes, instigated by deirions who disgrace their species, at tempting to force themselves into street cars—many shot on both sides. Two ne groes, on a street not the scene of tho riot, shot into families on the piazzas, wounding ladies and children—the wounded doing well—all quiet at last reports. The Radical Custom House seem to be prosecuting one of thei rnumber, late ly discharged as tho instigator. Whether honestly or to excuse themselves, is to bo seen. Hon. A. H. Stephens, plunged in grief at the loss of liis brother, is still editorially silent in the columns of the Atlanta Sun. Rev. Watkins Hicks, the eloquent Meth odist Preacher, is announced by the Macon Enterprise as Editor-in-Chief. Col. A. R. Lamar, formerly of the Co lumbus Sun, will assume the editorial chair of the Savannah Advertiser, September Ist. Col. Lamar is one of the most chaste, gnu ful, and vigorous writers in the State. John Forsyth, of the Mobile Register, rusticates for the summer at tho White Sulpher Springs. Ben Hill, in the Atlanta Sun of the 31st, commences a series of “ notes on the situa tion” of the State railroad lease ques tion. He is irrepressible—his tongue must wag or his pen shed ink. Gov. Smith’s letter of acceptance is out. It is a judicious paper, and should meet the approval of every Democrat. The Toombs-Brown imbroglio, to which we have never alluded, because the public should never have had anything to say or do about questions of that sort, still agitates the Atlanta public. Friends, it seems, have taken the matter in hand. Greeley’s letter to the Democrats. Read it by all means—for the right sentiments It expresses, the spirit it inculcates, pr if for nothing else, to see what a State paper he will get up when President. Letter frorfi Mr. Davis. Bainbridge, Oa., July 31,1872. Messrs. Editors, Baiubridge Sun : Permit me, through your columns, to announce to the public and especially to those friends who have so zealously and with a kindness far exceed ing my deserts, recommended and supported me, that I am not a candidate for the position of Rep resentative from this county, to the Lower House of the Legislature. Time having occurred for re flection, I am satisfied, that a true regard for my interests demands at my hands entire and exclu sive devotion to the practice of my profession. Again thanking a generous public and the many warm friends who have urged my nomination, T remain, Very respectfully. It. W. DAVIS. This Louisville Courier Journal thus speaks of the nominations at Baltimore : The Convention rose above mere party, and throwing ancient prejudices to the winds, did what patriotism required. It is hoped, all who call themselves Democrats will now enter heartily in support of Gree ley and Brown, and all who are worthy of that name will do it.’ As Democrats no other course is left them. Before the nomination they had the right to oppose Mr. Greeley ; after it, as party men, they have none. We do not claim Greeley arid Brown to Democrats. With unex ampled self-abnegation tlie Democrats have given both platform and candidates to their allies. —" 1 1 • • i ■■■ „ A Boston blackman of Southern birth writes to the Post; “At last the blacks of this broad land have a man to vote for whose record as their friend and the friend of labor is unimpeachable. God bless the day when the great Democratic party nominated the man who dared be just and true to all— black and white alike—in spite of opposition. Every man of color who values his manhood will vote for Horace' Greeley— at all events, the world may bet its life that I will. °UR ATLANTA Llrr ; E J^| Atlanta.
