A State (Jonvention.
WeVecorttly called atfentiin
tad that the |>nesent conatitution ot
i the tSlate ot Georgia makes our eiti ->
zeiis admit that in Receding from the
I L Y^ n » welc y uil 'y <4 lehd'ion
against the lawful authorityT^the'Uni
ted States, and by a fair curallary,
I werfc guilty ot treason. Oui papers,
j speakers and people since it was fnpu
' cd, have often and bitterly renioustra
j ted against Che malignant injustice of
|. Kurt be rn papers, speakers and people,
v, ho persisten t ly denounced us a* such
rebels and traitors, when at the same
| time oui fundamental law, the coii3ti—
I Ltliou of the 6 ate, admitted that we
i were rebels and traitors. IV <• demon -
strated both the falsity of the North*
ein cnai ge aud the State constitution
ai admissions. And yet theie are men
in Georgia who oppose a convention,
-through the action of which alone,
these foul aspe.'sions can be effectual
ly rebuked. It is a two-thirds vote of
two successive Legislatures could sc*
amend the constitution as to expunge
tiom it these iufauious calumnies.
Lut, for nearly ten years we have
been subjected to them for want of
due legislative patriotism, and at last,
when the convention bill was being
acted upon by the legislature, it suc
ceeded only by the most strenuous ef
forts of its friends. People ot Geois
gia ! to what was this owing? \V e
are forced to say you are not vvfiollv
guiltless. We do not say you were
wilfully guilty, but we do say you
have not been as faithful to year fame,
your rights and interest, as you should
have been. Are you not tire sovei
eigns? .Is not all power in your bands?
Was it not ypgr duty to shake the rod
of power over die timid aud iiufaith*
Jukciew wham you clothed with pow
fii to ropres mt you? Certainly it was
but you were apathetic, and trusted
too supinely to your representatives to
guaid your fatne and rights in a mat
ter which involves them so deeply.
And now when it is your duty to
guard them iu person, trusting to the
same indifference which you tnani—,
fested iti the past, there are would be
leaders who advise you to vote ‘rio
conventions
What do you think of such men?
What confidence can you place in
those who will advise you to remain
under the debasing stigma which
yom present constitution places upon
Vour characters as citizens of the
•Empire State of the South 1 ' 'Were
you rebels and traitors?lf you believe
yon were, go to the polls and vote ‘no
convention,’ Go to the polls and
vote for the men who give you this
advtce. Go to the polls and by your
-votes tell the people of the North that
what some of us denounced as their
slanders and falsehoods were just erit-*
ioisms and truths, go and through
your ballots tell them that we deserv
ed the punishment inflicted upon us
by their recoustruction acts. Some,
even in our own section, are holding
the monarchical and despotic opinion
that the people are incapable of self
government. A people, whether- ca
pable or not, who are content to live
under a constitution which defames
| and libels them, are not deserving of
I self-government. What man of you
! w : ll deny this? You see that we are
not flattering you, and while we wield
a pen in advocacy of your rights and
honoT, we will never flatter you iu the
neglect-of your duty as the inheritors
ef.liberty and an unsullied reputation.
We have been taught in this land ot
former freedom that the voice of the
people is-the voice ot God. The mean
ing is, yon are politically all powerful.
But what power is a tame acquies
cence m the miserable dicta of a sla
vish and subservient crew who made
for, and slandered you at the same
time, the organic law of -your SUte.
It you are all powerful the occasion
presents itself for you to show it. Now
ie the time to prove your right to the
sterotyped assertion that the vox pop
uli is the vox Dei. Stand like adu
amantine statues by the doctrine of
your fathers, and remain unshaken by
.The wind of monarchical opinion.—
Hold fast to your birth right as Amer
ica»i firemen. Let no shade of treach
ery to rights or reputation rest upon
3?ou. What we recently laid before 1
you, readers of the Union aud Recor
der, was net all. Iu your present
constitution are these wmfls; ‘No
court or officer shall have, nor shall
the General Assembly give,
tion or authority t * try or gi.ve judg
ment on, or entorce any .debt the con
-1 sideratidri cf wlSeia was a . slave of
slaves, or the hire thereof.' This was
a palptble violation of the Constitu
tion of the United States as will be
CARROLLTON, GEORGIA. FRIDAY MORNING. MAY 11, 5877.
seen by reference to the 10th section
of the first article of that instrument,
iu which it is expressly declared that
no State ‘shall pass any law impairing
' Uie obligation of contracts There
. u no limit as to the tune of selling or
hiring slaves specified in the above
quotation from the present' constitu
tion of Georgia. They may have been
sold before and during the wat, and
y**t that provision prohibits the col
lection of incurred both bv sale
}or hire of slaves. Why was this in
corporated in the constitution? It
| was done by the scalawags and car
pet-baggers to please their Rcpubli—
j c< ni masters; it was done to cast the
greatest possible odium upon the in
stitution of slavery which had existed
! * ol ' nearly a hundred years in the
■ iilate regardless of the obligation of
contracts, which, in selling and hiring
slaves, were as perfect, legally an i
morally, as contracts of any other
kind. And this provision in the or
ganic law Mas declared to have been
done by the people of Georgia them
selves, through their chosen represen
tatives in convention. They are made
to appear as the originators of this
disgraceful injustice—an injustice not
«nly forbidden by the constitution of
the United States but all laws human
and Divine. Yes, people of Georgia,
this nefarious provision exists in vour
fundamental law, placing you as po
litical robbers, in a worse category
than that us the common thief or
high way lobbei. Think now, aud
act for > ourselves as high toned and
chivalrous people should do. Cast
from you the men who will advise you
to remain passive under a.eonstitution
so utterly vile, and so hatefully daina
ging to your lame. Much is said and
written about the •homestead,’ the ‘ju
dicial►terms of office,’ ‘expensive an
nual sessions and other matters, but
these.unrighteous, internal and mali
cious features ot the “constitution to
which we have called attention from
time to time, more imperatively de
mand the holding of a convention,
yea ten times more imperatively file
mand it, than all of them put togeth
er. We can live under the provisions
of the homestead, the long terms ot
office,-and annual sessions, without
dishonor; but not so, under the crown
ot infamy which a Radical convention
pul upon our heads, aid< and and sus
tained, as they were, by the .vilest
usurpation of power and the military
pointing their threatening bayonets
at the bosoms of our people. We
were unarmed and helpless, then, and
for that reason alone our honor is not
lost. It has been shaded somewhat
by unreasonable delay, but rising in
your majesty, people of Georgia, it is
iu vour.power now to brush it with
all its original splendor.
Who Made It ?
A great many democrats, especially
those who hold the teat of official liv
ing between their lips, are swearing
strenuously by the present constitu
tion. Dofhey know who made it?—
Do they know what elements combin
ed to give us our present magnificent
and incomparable,instrument? These

Good Reading.
A FEW QUESHONS THAT MAT BE OF BEN
EFIT TO THE THOUGHTFUL.
The following questions were read
in St Paul's Church, recently, by Rev.
W. IU Clark, rector:
How would your life be practically
different if there was no God?
What amount of careful, intelli
gent study have vou ever given to the
Bible?
Is God s revelations of himself and
Ilis dealings with ihtfn a subject ol as
much interest to you as qrteelious of
science and literature?
Do vou ever trifle with and almost
boast of doubts on the nature or reve
lation of, God, as if infidelity were a
mark ot high intelligence, instead of a
subject of mteiiH pity? *
Do you refer events to secondary
causes, instead ot owning God’s hand
in them?
Can you be said really to believe in
God when the presence of a human
being is a greater restraint upon your
actions than the fact of Ills All seeing
eye?
Do you ever let sins pass without
an effort to check them, thinking it
will be easy to repent afterwards?
Have you ever takeu half the pains
to do things pleasing to God that you
have to gain the affections ol a hu
man being?
Do you get real pleasure from your
prayers, reading and meditation on
holy things; or do you get through
them to satisfy the demand of your
conscience, aud are secretly glad when
they are over?
Have you ever felt God's service
such a restraint that you would get
rid of it altogether?
How many minutes out of the twen
ty four hours do you give in any way
to God, either in offering hi in praise,
asking for liis helj), or trying to learn
his will?
Is there any practical connection,
between your prayers and your life?
Have you as great a realization of
God's presence in public- worship as
that ot certain persons whom you
know are there?
Are you as careful to be reverent in
God s house as you observe little mat
ters of etiquette in society—whisper
ueriug in service time, calking loud
immediately after it is over, and mak
ing greater provision for your own
ease of body, than you would think
ot doing ui Another person’s drawiug
room?
Is your standard ot Christian duty
higher than when you first begau to
serve God?
When some period of or
danger in your life, is over, are you as
hearty iu giving thanksgiving as
you were in prayer for it to be remov
ed?
Which do you think y-ou beai most
frequently in mind: your trials, which
perhaps are very small; or your mer
cies, which £.re undoubtedly very
great?
Do you trust God half as truly as
you do a beloved wife, husband, pa
rent or friend?
Do you dishonor God’s Fatherly
care by indulging in fears, anticipa
tions of coming evil, and dark imagis
nations about the future?
Do you come up to the old stand
ard of giving a Leuth part ot your in
come to God?
Can you recollect'six times in your
life that you ever denied yourself to
the extent of real iucoavenience from .
love to God?
Wh?.t have you ever dor.e solely
with the thought ot God’s glory?
If you cf.n give up the world for ,
yourself, do you still covet it for your ,
children?
In the education of vour children 1
is the first thought— what will train J
them to serve God, or to take a bril
liant position in society?
If you are offering to God any out
ward service in His church, or to His
poor, will your motive# -bear aift
iug» j
What have you ever ekrnc for tho
souls ot others? lUh
Would you not make greater efforts
to save Lke bodies of any whom you
might see in peril of fire or drowning
than you have ever made to save
souls from the destroying power of
sin?
Is it pleasanter for you to dwell up
on peoples faults rather than on their
virtues, or their failures, tbauen their
success?
Do you speak of Uie faults of others
unnecessarily?
Do you gwe hard judgement ou
sins to which you have never been
tempted, while you are fa.ll ot excuses
for your own*
How do you bea r contradiction or
: ridicule?
Are you angry wheu you are prov
en iu tbe wioug?
Do you mimic the peculiarities or
infirmities of people?
Do you often determine to have
your owu way at any cost, without
considering the pleasure or couven
! icnoe of others?
1 Do you make yourself unneoessari
-1 ly the subject of conversation, and in
troduee stories which tend to your
! credit?
Do you dweli upon your ailmeuts
or troubles to the weariness ol oth •
ers?
Do you make use ot the omission
or oversight of another to gain some
advantage for yourself?
Doyou give unnecessary trouble to
those who wait on you, or try their
temper and patience by your whims
and fancies?
Do you secretly wish that failure or
disappointment may happen to some
one who has injured or offended
you?
Do you color and add to events
yon describe for your own ends or
amusement, or to be thought clever
or witty?
Do you read books which appeal to
the passions, or put sin man attrac
tive light?
Is tho amount of stimulants you
take only what is advisable tor your
health?
Are you discontented with your po
sition, means or the circumstances
which surround you?
Do you long after something with
held f.otn you, or re b\\ against loss,
misfortune or bereavement?
Is There a Homestead?
Col. J. D. Stewart, of Griffin, ad
dressed the citizens ot Pike county a
few weeks since in favor ot a conven
tion. We find a synopsis of his re
marks in the Gazette. We Uave in
our editorials for some weeks past
tried to prove to the people that they
really have no homestead, and as Col.
S. proves this fact so conclusively we
reproduce some of his remarks:
“The Supreme court, by different
decisions have virtually repealed the
homestead. They have decided that
the homestead is a mere use; that
those already taken are subject to be
levied on and sold, that is the rever
sionary interest. Those who have ta
ken a homestead are only entitled to
it as long as they are the head of a
family, consequently an old man, when
ihe is no longer able to toil for his liv
ing liable to be turned out of doors,
because his children are no longer mi
nors lie clearly de.u instated the
partiality of the present homestead.—
A mau who has three thousand dol
lars worth of property can cover th e
whole of it with a homestead, but a
poor fellow who takes the benefit of
the law to keep two or three hundred
dollars worth of property can never
add to and, as he works and accumulates
■if he consumes his hundred dollars
worth of corn and meat in making
more corn and meat, his creditors can
levy on his new crop and sell it, and
he cannot have it included in his
homestead, so if his horse, wears out
or dies, he cannot take the proceeds
of his labor, and invest in another
horse, and have him protected under
the homestead; because he has takeu
the homestead once and cannot take
it again, nor supplement it with other
property.”
The Savannah News records the
fact that a bill has been passed by
the Legislature ot Tennessee to re
duce the salary of Governor frctu $4-
093 to $3,099; Supreme Court Judges
from $4,099 to $3,099; Judges of Infe
rior Courts and all special Judges from
$2,509 to $2,000. That the bill, after
it receives the promised signature of
the Governor, will go into effect litter
the general county election.
‘May they always live in peace and
harmony!' was the way a Yankee
marriage should have wound up. But

They have a curious way nf deci

one staying longest wins the suit. In
this country both parties are got into

the same.

State Pair of 1877*
Malcolm Johnston, Esq.* Secreta
ry, talks as follows to a reporter tor
the Constitution about the Stato Fair
in October:
We are going to have a fair iu At
lanta this tall, and a good one 100. —
It will open on Monday bth ol Oc
tober, and continue for one week.
What about the premium list?
That will be very large and unusual
ly liberal. We will offer no prizes but
cash and gold or silver medals. Ihe
premiums will be such as will attract
competition from all over the count!y.
The committee on premiums will meet
in the city on the 7th of May uext,
and we will shortly thereafter have
our premium list ready.
the question of horse racing.
Will you have the horse races at
the Fair, or will you adhere to the
plan adopted two years ago?
We will offer no premiums on rac*
ing or trotting, but will not prohibit
races inside the grounds, If outside
parties or clubs choose to offer purses
for racing, we will accept the offer
and conduct the races for them on
our track. I suppose several fiuo pur
ses will be offered, and ot course the
races will follow.
What does the city of Atlanta do
for the association this year? y
She simply pays us the th.’ee thour
sand dollars ns agreed, and
turns over the builtlirgs in good ors
deh She takes no risk, as she has
*.
done heretofore, ,and her outlay is lim
ited by the three thousand dollars
that she turns over to us at tho first.
no conflicting fairs
Are there any fairs that will con
flict with the State fair this year?
None at all. There is no district
fair, such as Agusta, Savannah, and
Griffin use to have, to be held this
year. As tor the county fairs, they
come in thr summer or early fall, and
are an auxiliary to us. Every coun
try fair is a feeder to the State fair.
A bishop, fond of hunting, being
rebuked that the apostles never hun

bad in Palestine, so they went fishing
instead.’
I have lost my appetite,’ said a gi»
gantic friend to Snodgrass the other
day. I hope, replied Snodgrass, that
no poor man lias found it, tor it would
ruin him in a w eek.
Do you think I'll get justice done
me? said a cil'prit to his counsel. I do
not think you will, replied iho other,
for I see two men on the jury wdio are
opposed to hanging.
I always knew that John’s love was
