Tfirc NATIONAL demcmkath
ention at Bal
timore, MD.
This Convention, the result of
which ha- lx-q* looked to with such
kite rest and anxiety by all parties
both North, Soutli, But, and Wot,
met at the appointed place and time,
and nominated Greeley and Brown
for President and Vice-President,
dud adopted The Cindncinnati Mat
form without change. Great una
nimity existed, and these two candi
dates were unanimously nominated.
Their nomination was hailed with
acclamations of joy by the Liberals
and Democrats throughout the
Union. A few outsiders (sore-heads)
bolted the Convention and called an
other Convention to assemble in Lou
isville on the 3d September next, to
nominate a straight-jacket ticket of
some sort, which for the sake of har
mony, we trust, they will never hold.
The Greeley and Brown star is now
far in the ascendant, and all that is
necessary to secure their success is
for these two jmrties to stand shoul
der to shoulder in this contest. Let
one and all lay aside petty prejudices
and preferments, and for the sake of
ousting Grant and his corps of hun
gry office-holders, let there he a unity
in the support of the nominees of the
Cincinnati and Baltimore Conven
tions. It is not exactly what we
want, hut is certainly a step in the
right direction. Let us avail our
selves of all opportunities offered to
get rid of the horde of jackals who
have been so long feasting and fat
tening upon the spoils of office. If
ever there was a time in the history
of the United States when right
thinking and law-abiding men should
be united in their efforts to establish
and maintain constitutional liberty
and good government, that time is
now', for, united we will stand, but
divided we will fall. We pledged our
self, as thousands of other good Dem
ocrats did, to abide the decision of
the Baltimore Convention. We
have confidence in the men who
were sent there to review the ground
and weigh the consequences and ad
vise us what course to pursue, and
they have promptly and faithfully
performed the trust confided to them
to the best of their judgment and
alrility and have given us the result,
and we have no inclination to set up
our judgment againt theirs, or demur
at their decision. We sent them
there to do what they have done,
and, doubtless, they have done the
very best they could, and we cheer
fully endorse their action, and would
consider that wo were feting in bad
faith to do otherwise. Their de
cision is not the conclusion of one
man, but of a number of men, chosen
by the people for their wisdom and
sound discretion. Certainly no man
who had a voice, directly or indirect
ly, in sending them there, will dis
regard their judgment or impugn
their motives, by repudiating their
action, let us rather applaud them by
saying, “ well done, good and faith
ful servants.” Therefore, we unfurl
at our mast head and fling to the
breeze, the banner of Democracy,
with the names of Horace Greeley
and Gratz Brown inscribed upon its
folds.
We find this remarkable statement
in the Newnau Herald:
An Angel Seen in Heaven by
Rev. It. W. Bigham. —On Sabbath
morning Rev. R. W. Bigham, pastor
of the Methodist Church of this city,
preached on the visitations of angels,
lie selected no particular text, but
read many passages of scripture to
prove that angels have often visited
the earth, bearing messages from
God, and conversed with men and
women, and insisted that the angelic
visitations are not limited to time
and place, that the men and women
of the present day have seen angels,
and heard them sing and talk as well
as those mentioned in the Bible. Af
ter the preacher had concluded this
portion of his discourse, he related
his personal experience. He stated
that God had permitted his sainted
wife, (who died on the day of
June) since her death, to visit him
twice —once by night and once by
day. He declared that on a certain
night after her death, about the same
hour of the night on which she had
entered Heaven, he was awakened by
music, sweeter than earth can know;
that he was fully aroused, with eve
ry power of his mind in full opera
tion, and, in fact, could see his wife
and hear and understand her words
as distinctly as the congregation could
his. Mr Bigham added, I know I
am neither insane nor superstitious,
and yet I would as soon doubt my
own existence as the truth and reali
ty of what I have told you.

OriSTWmau for State at Large--
Him. lx*wis Tumlin Suggested
as one of the Candidates.
Editor*:— The Atlanta Sun,
in Saturday's issue, calls attention to
the fact that the two new Congress
men allowed to this State by the Ap
portionment act passed at the last
session of Congress, will probably be
nominated by the Convention on the
24th, and elected from the State at
large. If this course be persued there
can l>e no doubt that the nominees of
the Democratic Convention will be
elected. I suppose it will be conced
ed on all hands that North Georgia is
entitled to one of the members, and
the only question then to be deter
mined, so far as this portion of the
I State is concerned, is, who shall re
| eeive the nomination? Hon. Lewis
' Tumlin is suggested as a gentleman
well qualified for the position, com
j petent to the discharge of the high
trust imposed upon a member of Con-
I gress, and in every way worthy and
deserving .of the honor implied. Col.
| Tumlin is a representative man of
that class of our citizens whom we
1 ought to take special pride in honor
ing. He is a tried and true Demo
crat ; he is a man of an acute and
comprehensive intellect, of extraor
dinary business qualifications, of
large and varied experience, always
liberal-minded, and of great benevo
lence ; he is aself-made man—having
begun his life without other capital
than an active intellect, a genial na
ture, and an honest purpose to go to
work to better his condition in life,
and being now probably the wealthi
est citizens in North Georgia. Col.
Tumlin is a farmer, the large majori
ty of his large property consisting of
farming lands, and stock for culti
vating them—his interests thus be
ing identical with those of the great
majority of our people. His proper
ty was accumulated, not by engaging
with “rings” in disreputable specula
tions, but by honest, untiring, ener
getic work, and it cannot be denied
that his management of it in the past
and in the present shows the rarest
business qualifications. He is not an
office-seeker, but he would doubtless
accept this high trust as he would
undertake to perform any other duty.
Moreover Col. Tumlin has special
claims upon our own citizens, greater
perhaps than any other man in
North Georgia. He has a large
amount of capital invested among us,
and gives employment to many la
boring people. He has done more
perhaps than any other man towards
building our Court Houses and
Churches, establishing our Schools
and supporting our poor. Again, I
repeat, our people ought to take pride
in honoring such men as Col. Tum
lin. He is honest, capable and wor
thy, and I hope his claims will not
fail to socure from the Convention
the consideration they merit.—Stan
dard & Express, of July 4 lh.
Fully endorsing the above, w T e
urge earnestly upon the considera
tion of the Democratic Convention to
be held for that purpose, the name of
the Hon. Lewis Tumlin, on the part
of the State at large:

Mr. Editor : —The above has sev
eral noticeable feature. The signers
are all citizens of Cartersville; it was
soon found that if it were sent out in
to the county generally, to say noth
ing of surrounding counties, the list
of subscribers would become so long
as to more than cover your w'hole pa
per ; indeed I think that it is not an
over statement to say that it would
receive the endorsement of four-fifths
of the Democrats of this section of
the State. You will notice also that
the signers are not a “ ring” or knot
of Col. Tumlin’s personal friends; on
the contrary almost every merchant
and business man in Cartersville is a
signer; so also are the Superintend
ents and operatives of Car Factory,
Machine Shops, &c.
Col. Tumlin is a man ofthe people,
and deserves this honor at their hands.
That he will receive it there cannot
be a shadow of a doubt, if the people
can have their own way in the mat
ter, and the small politicians can be
prevented from redistricting the
State.

My Dear Sir:— l have lately read
with interest the communications ap
pearing in your paper on the subject
of the name which shall he given
your thriving and beautiful town, in
the city charter which your citizens
intend asking your Legislature for at
its coming session. Permit me to say
that, to one at this distance, it appears
that the word “city” in the title
which seems to command the most
respect, “ Etowah City,” is superflu
ous, and that the one word “Eto
wah ” would constitute the most hap
py selection possibly to be gotten,
both for its beauty and its brevity.
Wishing you may not only get a
city charter and a suitable name, but
also obtain for your town all the pros
perity which her commanding situa
tion warrants me in hoping for her,
I will write myself,
Truly yours,
Elbert P. Cook.

Report of Committee in Regard
to the Death of His Honor. .T.
K. Parrott.
BautoW Sup’r Court,
July Bth 1872.
Whereas, at a meeting of the Bar
of the Cherokee Circuit, on the 12th
of June, 1372, the undersigned were
apppointed a committee to draft and
report suitable resolutions in relation
to the death of our lamented Bro.,
the Hon. J. R. Parrott. On this,
Monday Bth July, 1872, the commit
tee thus appointed beg leave to sub
mit the following:
Judge Parrott was born in Cocke
county, Tenn., in Februaav, 1826, and
died at Montvale Springs on the 10th
of June, 1872. He came to Georgia
in 1848, and settled in Gordon county,
and in 1852 he removed to C’arters
ville, where he resided till his death.
He immediately entered the practice
of the law, and pursued it with untir
ing energy and great success. Al
ways feeling a deep interest in the
politics of the country, he took an ac
tive part in all the leading contests of
the day. He was on the Fillmore
Electorial Ticket in 1856, and also on
the Bell and Everett Electorial Tick
et in 186(1, and canvassed his Dis
trict with a vigor and ability that
endeared him to his party friends.
He was a member ofthe Georgia Con
vention of 1850, and of the Constitu
tional Convention of 1865 and 1868,
and was the President of the latter
Convention. In 1863 he was appoint
ed Quarter-Master, with the rank of
Major, of General Wofford’s Brigade,
and continued in that position till his
appointment as Solicitor General of
the Cherokee Circuit in the latter part
of that year. He was Solicitor Gen
eral till his appointment as Judge of
the Cherokee Circuit in 1868; this last
office he held at his death. All of
which positions he filled with marked
ability. Asa Judge his administra
tive ability was equaled by hut few,
and surpassed by none.
A Republican in politics, he presid
ed in a Circuit having a very large
Democratic majority, commanded the
respect and confidence of the entire
Circuit.
Your committee recommend the
adoption of the following resolutions:
That in the death of Judge J. It.
Parrott we lament the loss of a most
worthy and patriotic citizen, an able
Judge, whose memory and example
we would perpetuate to the end that
his good deeds may live after him,
and his bright example he handed
down to future generations.
That we most respectfully tender
to his bereaved widow and children
the unfeigned sympathies of the
Bench and Bar of the Cherokee Cir
cuit, whose confidence he so well de
served arid so fully enjoyed.
That we request that the Court have
these proceedings entered on the min
utes.
That a copy of this report and reso
lutions be furnished to Mrs. Parrott
and family, and the newspapers of
this Circuit be requested to publish
them.
That his Honor, C. D. McCutcheon
be requested to adjourn this Court till
to-morrow morning as a tribute of re
spect to him who has adorned its
Bench with such distinguished abili
ty-
D. A. WALKER,
W. T. WOFFORD,

It is ordered that this report of the
committee be entered on the minutes
of the Court and their request com
plied with. And that in token of our
respect for the memory ofthe deceas
ed, this Court be now adjourned till
to-morrow morning.

Read this Proposition.
The Combi nation Portable Fence is a
portable fence that will not blow down , nor will
cattle or horses push it over, but can be readily
taken down and changed from place at pleasure
All portable fences I have ever seen or heard
of heretofore would blow down , and that is the
very reason this has been invented and patent
ed, and now offered for sale. But the impres
sion prevails that a portable fence must needs
blow down. This has been severely tried by
wind and stock, and in no case has it failed.
Being well satisfied that it will stand any
thing short of a hurricane, I make this
PROPOSITION :
The first man that shall find his fence a fail
ure— blown down— haying a farm right, and the
fence made according to directions and proper
ly put up. shall be entitled to a right for a
whole county without charge, or if he has
purchased and paid for a county right, he shall
be entitled to Ten Counties Free of Charge,
in either Or both cases to make their own se
lections in Georgia or any other territory not
disposed of. Application must be made with
out delay, with reasonable evidence that the
fence did actually blow o-rer, and that it was not
in consequence of the sill slipping, or of the
ground giving way under the sill, and I will
assign and set over to him, a right for a whole
county, or ten eounties, gkatis, as above spec
ified.
The right to this fence has been secured by
Letters Patent for the United States, dated
April 16,1872. (to run 17 years) and I am fully
authorized to sell Farm, County and State
right*.
Please examine a specimen of this fence on
the public square near the depot at Cartersville
Georgia. 7 4

Read the following certificate:
West Point. Ga., Sept. 16,1870.
Meters. Pemberton, Taylor it Cos., Atlanta, Ga.;
My daughter was taken on the 25th day of
June, 1863, with what was supposed to be acute
Rheumatism, and was treated for the same with
no success. In March, following, pieces of hone
began to work out of the right arm. and contin
ued to appear till all the bone lrom the elbow to
the shoulder joint came. Many pieces ol hone
came out of the right foot and leg. The case
was then pronounced obc of White Swelling.
After having been confined to her bed about six
years, and the case was considered hopeless, I
was induced to try l)r. Pemberton’s Compound
Extract of Stillingia, and was so well satisfied
with its effects that I have continued the use of
it until the present.
My daughter was confined to her bed about
six vears before she sat up or even turned over
without help. She now sits up all day, and
sews most of her time—has walked across the
room. Her general health is now good, and I
believe she will, as her limbs gain strength,
walk well. I attribute her recovery, with the
blessing of God, to the use of your invaluable
medicine.
With gratitude, I am yours truly,
W. B. BLANTON.
