That (bate several elements or parties joined, are

lip iu lavoi at’ the delegate* appointed iu Decem

In this, they have acted wisely, for if they bad
persisted iu their former eonrse, they wunld have
been overwhelmed by an fmllgoant public ecuti
inent, and their leader buried beneath the weight
of puMie odium. Hut to how ninth credit are

“Tempura umlaut ur, Ac.**
“A change has come over th spirit of thalr

striot. Their leader lims issued his fiat from hit
“Marble Halls” In Washington, and now the
March Convention is to bo pri-Mitiid to assemble,
and to speak for the Democratic party of Geor

December Coo vent ion, the parties who got it up
Hud participated In it, the means used and the
objects to bo accomplished, will exhibit the work
>st of Gov. Cobb’s friends in reference to the
Maroh Convention. The December Convention
was evidently gotten up to endorse Cobb as a
Presidential candidate, to gratify the ambition of
a t#w inttn who wi#Hed to be delegate# to tlbarfne- |
ton and to prowfeThe ulterior #nda and wj-hea !
of two other di*unguichd gentlemen who to©
looking forward to high piaca* of political pr*

Thi# fact wa# known to the projector# of the

and called a preliminary coua.iltation meeting of
the Democratic nu mber*of tint Lt-gwluture. At
that meeting and before any proceeding#, the u<-
tenHou noI action of the Executive Committee
wore <li#ih©tly announced, and strong objection#
were urged hy a large number of the Democratic
member* present, to the proposed Legislative call
of th# Convention. All wa# disregarded, and a
Convention called in ho* baste, giving aeareoly
time or o|.portuiiity for the variuux oountiu# to
©xprean their wishes or send delegare#, and ar
rogantly asauming to sat a# delegates them#elv©a
uni©"* their eoiretltucnt* should do the nugro
eii>u# act of repudiating their assumed authority.
Many of tha counties were not even aware that
the Honvetiiion wa* ealled —few had opportunity
pi hold meeting# fr the txpreaaiou of ©piniou or
the appointment of deiugatea, and none were
disposed to aet #0 harshly toward their cb#*en I
repreo*nt#fiv* in tba I/egi*latur© a* to eondetnn 1
Ihoir pro -eediog* and brand their self-in'* .-vd I
authority. The Convention wa* held Ld tho re

understand the objects wb*'prompted that Con
vention, and tbf # ©a;.. used to produce it Th©i#
were several powerful ioflueueoe which ojmrared
to bring about this movement
The main ohject wa# to gratify Howell Cobb
and promote bis aspirations for a Presidential
nomination. The influence of Federal palroxgw
and government power were invoked. Look at
the delegate# outside of th# Legislature who at
teuded that Convention, among whom were thick- ,

and iuatruiurnt of irresistible power. Mr. Spul

u* this iiniuvoac Federal patrenage to subserve

Mr. Cooh did not scruple to remove and disgrac#,
without cause, tb former Marshal, and without
rnusultaiion with a single Senator or Reprasenia
tivc from Georgia, though they were all present
in Washington *t th# tune.
Look at the amount of Governmen’ patronage
, th© Marshal controls. One hundred and thirty

iß©u*e patronage in the hands of BpuHnck, nnd
he ha* uo superior in Li* litre, w-is hr ugbt to
b-*ar upon that December Co&vanrion. Who ©an ,
doubt that its influonc# whm potentiol? But tbr
were other nmw* operating on that Convention.
Its history devtl -|h* that Jam©* L- Seward wa*
on# of it* main springs *ad prim© muii*t#ni. He
[ is tbonght to b ambitious for a nomination for
! Governor, and bis manifest policy was to ootrtdK
iata Cobb and hi* friends. Upon wbat other
| principle could he have aucrifleed all Lie Soutb
| ern right* faeliuga and principle#, to say nothing
J of hi* reaeatm#nts to take tfiasff Cobk a# his firt
1 choioe tor tb© Presidency—Howell ,C*bh, who, in
j IHJfI, was th© bitterest cuvtny of lb© Sou (burn
I Right* Democrat 10 party, to which Mr. B©ward
j prufesae# to belong, and whose vindictive feet
| w#re, in his own language, <u the nwlu ©f that
| party and he would crush them to death. No
j one who knows any thing of the antaecdent pe
j Rtical atatusof the two men eould mDundersfand
or mistuke the motive of tha Senator fr<m Tbotu
| us. And again, there waa tire laflucuee of Gov.
; Johnson, who is ambitioas to eucccvd Senator
Ivemou in the Senate. With a tow xce|Ki./ns,
those who 00mpo#4 tho December Convention
were tb© frieuda of Jobuaoa and the partixan* of
Cobb. A few of the avowed supporters of Judge
Iverson, were there- what motive induced their
course, I cannot conceive, and I am unwilling to
•luesUou their ainewity. Thia last will b# put
to the test at th# next session .*f the Lcgteta
(uv*.
During the Henatorial eauxross in MiiledgevUle
it was reported aud bvlieved, that a eoulitian was
formed between the friends of Johnson and Cobh
to support each other for the delegate* position,
snd the result seems to establish the tt ulk of the
report. It Is certain however, beyond a question,
that the frfaudsnf Cobb supported Gov. Johnson
for Senator, and the friends of Johnson in turn,
here been fund in the December Convention
supporting and endorsing How. il Cobb for the
Presidency. Them were the principal motives,
objects and influences which produced tha Da
csiaWr Cuovcnth'U. Tha whola thing fa so plain
“that he who run* may read.”
Tbe December Convention was tm*ived. rai
led and held, iu a spirit of fraud up.ju the honest
masses imd to subserve the •. iifah end* of etnbi
tiou* and designing men, and its fruits are the le
git ituato uft'xpriug of the rotten seed town. To
produce iudividiial nggrandix. ment, a pariy has
been <1 fa traded, and wounds that time, (mtience ‘
and kindne*s, ha<l enured almost to heal, have 1
Wo torn open and untdt> to bleed again.
Cut Bono!’ For wins* good was this’thing d-no?
What good purpose culd itauWnc For a boo
benefit was the premature snap-judgement Co*
ventiou as*einldd ? Jsitnnt apparent that the
ambitious views of Cobb, Johnson sad Seward,
were consulted at tbc iiariKixi of the rights and
interests us the usase**, and the harmony and
welfare'of the party ? Aud now If these elements
can succeed, the December fraud is to la* ratified
under the falUeiuu* plea of harmony and the De
mocracy of Georgia committed to Howdl toi l*
aud the Charleston Convention And wherefore?
What claims ran he present for this levor at the
hands of the Georgia Democracy ? Has not his
vaulting ambition jeep.*ded the existence of the
party in day* gone by* !• It forgotteu that ho
led a faction of the party to a National Conven
tion, and demanded, iu the name of the parly, an
admit tauee, which was refused ? Do not the De
uocraey remember that his first act, after Mug
again received into the party, was to distract aud
divide its members, and through his partitans, to
defeat iu caucus nominee “and a!m<nt throw; in
to the hands of the opposition th# l\ S. Senator
ship? But it these sin* ••should be remembered
no more against him forever,” what strength doc*
he possess with the National Democracy * What
can the Ge>rgia or the Southern Democracy ac
complish by advancing his claims? I* there a
uiau ouuidv of the little clique in Augusta, that
ia ee lamentably ignorant of passing events, a*
not to know that, from the day Cobb went iuio
Buchanan's Cabinet, his political sun has been
fast setting toward# the uttermost rergo of tbo
horizon? Why then attempt :o bolster, by a
fraudulent and worthless endorsement, a useless
and feeble fragment of an impotent administra
tion?
Suppose the March Convention does endorse
and recommend him to the Charleston Conven
tion, and instruct its delegates to vote fur him,
wbatwilllt avail? Nothing on earth, save his
own prida. and the probable defeat of another
better and abler ton of Georgia! What chan,*
does Cobh stand for tbe nomination, if Georgia
does oadorse him .* Ofalltha Southern names
