Ginkbai. Hancock and iiis Mlw Com
mand.—A Correspondent of the New
York lleruld suys that General Hsncoek
had another interview with the Provi
dent thia morning rslntive to arrungiug
the details for the Military i)epuriiii«iit
of the Atlantic. The statement to the
effect that Grant had written u letter to
the President relative to tbe assignment
of Huimoo* to this district seems to have
arisen from the fuct that General Grant
wrote q letter to the President asking
his opinion as the heat appointment to
be made in the Kith Military Depart
ment in place of Hancock. Tho Presi
dent suggested that Grunt naiiio an
officer, whereupon he gave it as bis opin
ion that for the preaent General Buch
anan was amply qualified to hold the
command. General Grant, however,
has Haid nothing to the President rela
tive to the ap|Htintinent of Hancock.—
General Emory has not yet been re
moved from tho command of thia dis
trict, but it ia iiuderalood that he will be,

Fallow Citikkks :
Selected by n Convention of the rep»
rtsentativo men of thia Congrwweionul
District, to be one of the standard-bear
ers of the National Democratic l'urlyof
Guorgla, and their candidate for Con
gress in tho election appointed to tie
held on tho 20lh, 21st, 22nd und 23d
days of Die month, I would urge Upon
you the importance of the question, in
issue, the shortness of the timo for action
and the duty of every man to make
whatever personal sacrifices may be
necessary to seouro tho public good.
There arc now but two grout politi
cal parties in Georgia, and in the the
United States—tho Democratic Party,
struggling to uphold tho Constitution,
and secure tho equal rights of the States
and people: and tho Radical Party,
who arc destroying the Constitution,
usurping ull the function* of government,
and who now rule Georgia, not without
authority of ihe Oonstitioo, but with a
despotism as absolute as thut With
which Russsin rules the counM’y whore
Poland was crushed and is now buried.
First of all then—Can any man, whose
interests ure identified with tils people
ol Georgia, hesitate as to which of these
parties he ahull give his vote and his in
fluence ?
The mun who votes to muintain a tyr
annical party in power, is either himself
deceived, or u partaker in tho blood-
money an 1 spoils of his betrayed und
fallen countrymen.
The present practical issues, most
important to the people of Guorgla, are
Ihe adoption or rejection of the proposed
Constitution for the State, and the se
lection of officers under it.
Thorn uro many provisions in the pro
posed Constitution which would be ap
proved by the poople. But thori) are
objections to it, and provisions in it
which the people cannot opprov 3,wheth
er they shall adopt it or not.
IbL The Convention which prepared
the Constitution was n revolutionary and
illegal assemblage, authorized by Con
gress in violation of the Constitution of
tho United States.
2nd. Tho proposed Constitution) to
gether with the reooiiHtructintl laws at
Congress under whioh it wus made,
di franchises a large number of intelligent
citizens, and transfers the power and
sovereignty of the Stute to a class of men
not qualified to exorcise It.
The object of this trnlisfcr in tn impose
upon the ignorance and credulity of the
negro, ami make him the slave and tool
of the Kudioul Party to accomplish their
designs of power and plunder upon the
white and black people of the Htnte, as
well us to secure tlmtneselvcn in their
usurpation of the Federal Government.
8u. There i« u provision In the pro
posed coiiNtitutim which authorizes
Congress, after its adoption by the peo*
pie, to change it to suit themselves.

stead clause be stricken out f Will

ment t Or a cIhUhc) reserving to Con

clared it adopted 7
1 mention only the prominent objec
tions to tho proposed constitution, und
must leoVo to the people and tho press,
lhe discussion of tlics* mid other objec
tions which arc apparent.
The alternative to tho adoption of tho
pro|H*Hed Constitution is, thut we must
remain under a militury, or provisional
government, until the true mou of tho
United States, uniting wilh the Nation
al Democratic Party ahull rescue tho
Government from the liudioul Usurpers,
restore the Constitution to i'S rightful
supremacy, the Govermont to its legiti
mate sphere, and the States and people
to their equal righla and liberties.
Of this choice of evils, every 0110 will
Judge and act for himself—there may
be honest differences of opinion.
For myself 1 cannot hesitate. With
an innate hatred of despotism—with a
faith not yet lost, in the spirit and pow
er of the written Constitution of our coun
try. ami in the intelligence patriotism
and true interests of a groat majority of
the good people of the united Hiatus, 1
will wait, anu work for the day of de-
liveruncc—J cannot aid in Tautening up
on our Htutu a Constitution which T be
lieve will bring evil to all classes of our
people.
But we must not forget tho fact that
the proposed Constitution may be ad<fp
ted ; und in thut event it is of the utmost
importance to elect a Governor, and
members of the Legislature in whoso in
tegrity, wisdom anu patriotism you can
confide to inanguiutu the Government

point Judges and other officers who are
