nisi among ihc people of our Tlislrict the
great object of this Convention will have
heen defeated. I know of no issue that I
would wish to trust any one with more
than Alexander H. Stephens. It is-suffi.
cient to know that the people have spoken.
Let every man bow in obedience to that
will. I feel hound, nnd always will feel
bound to obey the will of my people; they
deserve that confidence, and to promote it
has been the object nnd purpose of tny life
from boyhood days.
Calls were made for Mr. Austin Mill
larky. Mr. Mullarky said he certainly
thought it would be out of place to make
so many speeches. He moved that a com
mittee of two be appointed to wait on the
Committee on Business and see if they
would he ready to report soon. The mo
tion was adopted, and Messrs. Mullarky
and Wright were appointed as the commit
tee. They reported that ths Business
Csmmiltee would be ready to report in a
fw minutes.
Mr. Marcus A. Evans, of J.fferson, was
tailed for. He said he felt like he was at
a love feast instead of a political Conven
tion. It was rare to see so much unnmini
tv. Since lie had had the privilege to
vote, he had voted for Mr. Stephens and he
had never regretted it. He had heard an
old friend of his say once when called on
for a speech that he didn't want to he
ptnnad on to any man’s coat-tails, but if he
had to be pinned on to any man’s coattails
he wanted to he pinned on to Mr. Stephens’
coat tails. It was just the same way with
himself.
of list' CmumiKrc.
The Business Committee returned, and,
through its Chairman, Dr. Casey, present
ed the following report :
The Democrats of the Eighth Congres
sional District, in Convention assembled,
announce their understanding of the vital
and distinctive principles of the two great
political pavtie.Vof this country, as follows :
The falsely called Republican party hold
and openly avow.
1. This is a nation, as contra distinguish
ed from a Confederate Republic.
2. That the States have no rights or
powers which are not subject to the super
vision and control of the Federal Govern
ment.
3. Asa practical corollary from these
two propositions, it follows that the States
exercise self-government merely at suffer
ance, and their citizens are legitinatc sub
jects for oppri ssion and plunder by the
all-powerful and over-shadowing Central
Government. The eo-callod Republicans
have shown their faith by their works.—
Their doctrines have yielded their legiti
mate fruit, in military despotism, shame
less peculation and corruption in high
places, disgraceful to civilization. To cap
the climax of infamy they stand convicted
of stealing from the people the highest
office within their gift.
The principles of Jeffersonian Democra
cy are precisely the reverse. We hold
that the federal Government ean
rightfully exercise no powers which are
not granted to it by the States in its
only charter —the Constitution of the
United States. The dividing line
is correctly drawn and plainly
marked. The true test of every
man’s Domocracy, therefore is to
be found in his position on one or
the other side of this line. Our
alignment with the present Demo
cratic party grows out of our con
fidence that it stands on the side of
the States, in defence of constitu
tional liberty and is therefore the
only true Union party. Any oth
er Union is despotism,
We point with pride to the polit
ical history, and especially to tho
Congressional record of our distin
guished Representative from tho
Eighth District, as a glorious illus
tration of truo Democracy. We
challenge the citation of an act
performed, a word spoken or a
vote cast by him, violative of these
.fundamental Democratic doctrines.
We claim him as their ablest expoun
der and most faithful defender in
.the present, or any 'other Con*
gross since tho war. Therefore.
Resolved. That wo deeply de
plore that some good men of tho
party have strangely been led
astray by a tortured construction
placed upon Mr. Stephens’ recent
letter to Dr. Casey, by which it is
attempted to represent him as hav
ing threatened and insulted the
Democratic party, or auy portion
■thereof, while the language of
scorn and defiance used in that let
ter can obviously apply only to
those who, through the forms and
usages of party, would betray its
principles, and defeat the will and
silence the voice of the people.
Resolved. That this Conven
tion do hereby most cheerfully re
nominate, as the candilate of the
Democratic party of the Eighth
•Congressional District, at the next
eusuing election, their present able
patriotic and distinguished Repre
sentative, the Hon. Alexander 11.

Resolutions.
In seconding the resolutions,
Major Ganahl said ;
Gentlemen— ln rising to second
the resolutions just read, I would
■h* recreant to the instincts ol my
heart were 1 not upon this impor
tant occasion to give some expres
sion to my thoughts. You have
before you to-day a man who, in
my judgment, is at the very ze
nith of his power, and a lover of
his duty. I say that there is no
man in the North, East, South or
West who challenges 'the attention
and commands more honor than
your Representative from the
Eight Congressional Distric, the
Hon. Alexander 11. Stephan®.—
[Loud applause.] It was a matter
of some regret to me to see some
of my friends, who are as good
Democrats as myself, when cer
tain questions arose, go utterly
and entirely wrong as to Mr. Ste
phens’ position, in misconstruing
his words, acts and language in
the Casey letter. It is not r.oces
ary, Mr. Chairman and gentle
men of the Convention, to go over
that ground, as it is already pro
ven, by his popularity here evinc
ed, that Mr. Stephens was right anil they
were wrong.
1 hail the honor, on a former occasion,
of nominating our present nominee, and
not only was lie nominated by acclamation
and unanimously, but with immense en
thusiasm. Mr. Stephens was then upon a
siok bed and it was a serious question
whether it was not his death bed, and
would ever rise from it again, but, thanks
to Hie Maker of all tilings, lie did, and he
went to Washington and we will send him
there again [loud applause], and I earnest
ly hope it will be the delight of every pa
triotic citizen in this and every county to
vote for him.
Opostts the ({(‘solutions.
Major Wicker, of Washington, said he
could not endorse the resolutions. One of
largest conventions in Washington county
had spoken againstsuch resolutions and he
could not approve them. JJe regretted
that it was to. Personally no man had a
greater regard for Mr. Stephens than him
self, but ha could not approve those reso
lutions.
Major McLaws asked if he would accept
the resolution to nominate Mr. Stophens
by acclamation?
Major Wicker said he would.
Gen. Heard of Wilkes, oSfered the fol
lowing resolutions ns
A Substitute
For those offered by the committee :
We, tlio representatives of the Demo
cratic party of the Eighth Congressional
District of Georgia, having a firm faith in
the principles of our fathers, and wishing
to hand down to our children these prin
ciples, strengthened by time, and made
sacred to us by hallowed asaoeiations,
therefore.
Hr'+>r -rt, let, Thar we, the representa
tives of the people in Convention assem
bled, reiterate our conviction that the Dem
ocratic party is the party of freedom, of’
liberty and oflaw—that freedom which is
complete exemption from all control of
private,’personal judgment—that liberty
which secures the greatest happiness te
the whole people—-ami law, which is equal
protectian to all citizens.
Resoloed, 2d, That, inasrauah as we have
always marched to victory with a solid
front to the enemy, we should,ever bear in
mini that our real strength can be main
tained ouly by harmony among eimelves.
Resoloed, 3 d, That wo retain full con
fidence only in our perfect organization,
and hence, wo repudiate any and all efforts
to weaken or disrupt the same, whether
made by enemies from without or by trai
tors from within.
Resolved, 4th, That we believe our party
usage of nomination by convention of the
people is the best for securing (alwayz by
unity of action) the principles which have
made our country prosperous and glori
ous.
Resolved, sth, That thus believing,
we do now express to all the world our
undiminished oonfidence in the integrk
ty, the patriotism, and the ability of
Hon. Alexander 11. Stephens ; that we
cover him with the tegis of our protec
tion against all his enemies, by public
ly declaring that we believe our prin
ciples arc his principles, and finally, as
a proof of the faith which is within us,
we do hereby nominate him by accla
mation.
Thero was no second to the substi
tute.
Major Wicker said if the resolutions
offered by the committee were adopted
as a platform he would go home and
oppose Air. Stephens and vote against
him.
Mr. S. F. Webb offered the follow
ing amendment to the resolutions of
committee :
Resolved, That this Convention fully
endorses Mr. Stephens’ letter to Dr.
Casey in every respect.
Mr. Harper hoped Mr. Webb would
withdraw this resolution.
Mr. Webb said he was sick and tired
of hearing about tho Casey letter. He
didn’t want Mr. Stephens to apologize.
He declined ta withdraw the resolu
tion.
Major Ganahl said he thought Mr.
Webb had thrown an unruecessarry
fire brand into the Convention. The
resolutions offered by the committee
were necessary for their self respect,but
nothing else was needed. He was for
principles and platforms before men.—
If' Mr. Stephens had threatened the
j Democratic party hi- hand would he
I raised to strike him down, for parties
I live when men die. and men live for
parties. When the Casey letter name
out he saw no attack on any good
Democrat. But he did see in it an
attack on the tnen who proposed to run
the party, who had gotton hold of the
party machinery. These men called
themselves the Democratic party, and
when Mr. Stephens wrote the Casey
letter they threw ap their hands ai.d
said they were insulted. Yes, those
men were insulted, they were threat
ened and now they wore whipped. The
resolutions defended *ts from our
maligners ; they attack nobody. We
are here simply to declare what is our
position. The Casey letter might have
insulted those who had control of the
party machinery or who happened to
run a newspaper, with their following,
who called themselves the Democratic
party. lie was glad that the great
conqueror had drawn bis sword and
slain them. But ho saw no necessity
for Mr. Webb’s resolution, and he
hoped he would withdraw it.
Major Wicker said he had entered
the Convention in the interest of no
thimble-riggers, shysters or tricksteis.
He had etitered it in the interest of
no particular man. Washington county
was for Colonel Matthews, of Ogle
thorpe, first, and Colonel Miles W.
Lewis next. Wa-hitjirton county
couldn’t approve of Mr. Stephens’
course, but he would assure the gentle
men that they made no war upon Mr.
Stephens. They would acquiesce in
the choice of the Convention but would
prefer some other man. The Demos
cratio party of Washington county be
longed to no ring of tricksters, On
motion of Maj. Ganahl, Mr. Webb’s
amendment was laid on the table. The
resolutions offered by the committee
were then adopted with
Two l>iN(‘iiti(‘iit Voices,

ington county.

- Congress — Eighth District ,
Hon. A. 11. Stephens.
We place at the head of this col
umn the name of Hon. A. 11.
Sthephens, the standard bearer of
the organized Democracy in the
Bth District. We are gratified to
learn of the unanimity with which
Mr. Stephens was nominated by
the Thomson Convention, the pro
ceedings of which will be found in
this issue. Thero was but one
County that refused to indorse cr
nominate him, Washingt.on county.
While we have not, and can never
approve of some things connected
with Mr. Stephens’ late course
before the public, still there is
nothing inconsistent in our recog
nizing and following him with pride
as our standard bearer in the conn
ing campaign. This great man
has said himself, substantially,
that “he never knew a man whoso
character was so good that he had
no had traits.” That man who
has been in active, public life for
nearly a half century and claims
that he never committed an unwise
or an unjust act, is either insin
cere, or is a consummated egotist,
blinded by his own vanity: and
whenever we bear fulsome, extrav
agant praises lavished upon another
who is held up before us as a perfect
model of a wise and good man, we
have no confidence either iu the
sincerity or wisdom of the speak
er. We have made no war with
Mr. Stephans on account of part
differences ; for they did not in
volve any of those fundamental
principles which mark the line be
tween the two groat political par
ties-oT this country. iNor no we
intend making any issue with him
for what he has done in the past.
Hut we rely with implicit conft
der.c upon the belief that when he
returns to congress he will ever
be a champion for the true interest
of the whole country, and will ever
prove faithful to the principles of
the organized Democracy.
Before closing, wo must extend
our heartfelt sympathies and con
dolence to that fellow in this
County who expressed fears that
Mr. Stephens would be nominated.
His saddest fears have been realiz
ed. Come now, ray friend, dry up
your tear.s fall into the ranks of
that company and under that ban
ner both of which; you have been
unaccustomed to in the past.
Y T ou will either have to do this or
stay out in the cold.

FARMERS IN COUNCIL.
RESULTS OF THE STATE AGRI
CULTURAL SOCIETY’S MEET
ING.
THE DE MAN DS OF GEO RGIA
FARMERS.
Atlanta, Wednesday Aug. 21.
The recent meeting of the State
Agricultural Society- at Athens was one
of the best that body has ever known.
I was pleased to sec the discussions
tako a very practical turn. Practical
men ruled the body and those ideal
theorists who talk so tnuoh and know
so little were compelled to take a back
seat. The meeting represented the ac
tive intellect, of the State. The lead
ing spirits were men who while they
think and theorize always apply the
tests of practice and experience to their
conclusions. I am inclined to agree
with the distinguished gentleman who
said in a speech to .the Society. ‘I
believe this body has doDe tho State
more good tiau the Legislature.
The discussion upon the necessity
for a cheuiictl analysis ol aI [ fertilizers
sold in the State was perhaps the most
interesting lebate of the meeting.
These were two distinct opinions both
stoutly maiuitined. One was that the
State should furnish the means lor a
thorough analysis ol all fertilizers sold
within its btders so as to prevent the
sale of worthless and spurious articles.
It was conteoded that this is a duty
which the State owes to the farmer?
who constitute the mass of its popula*
tion. The other op-iuion took direct
issue with the one just stated. It
maintained that while it was right for
lbs State to do all it reasonably can to
protect its citizens against impositions
of all kinds, yet it is not so plain that
the proposed plan would accomplish
this purpose. Some fertilizers will
stand a flue chemical analysis and in
certain soils will prove almost worth'
less. Others might be condemned by
a strict analysis which in the same
soils would be profitably used. Both
those opinions were correct. The true
plan would he for the State to provide
for an analysis which would be made
by a chemist familiar with the peculiar
demands of various Georgia soils. —
There is no doubt that a chemical
analysis would detect the absolute
worthlessness of many articles which
are palmed off on our farmers under
high sounding names backed by bogus
certificates of their merits. Thousands
upon thousands of dollars are annually
thrown away by our already impovef'
ished farmers on these imported huui'
bugs. The fraund has been practised
long enough. The government seems
to have taken some interest in the mat
ter for we have had inspectors of ferti
lizers, ,but it well known that the
bottom of the trouble has not yet been
reached. If the State Agricultural
Society will prepare the way for the
fiual abolition of all such frauds as our
farmers have too long experienced it
will do more good for the State than a
dozen Legislatures.
Another important matter came be
fore the Society. I refer to the ques
tion of establishing Agricultural and
Scientific Colleges at Thomasville,
Milledgeville and Cuthbert. A reso
lution declaring it expedient and neces
sary to the best interests of the State
for the Legislature to establish these
schools caused the warmest discussion
of the session. Some very wild speech
es were made on both sides but the
resolution prevailed. The plan is a
good one, while education should al
ways be as liberal as possible and cover
a broad curriculum we must remember
that in the present impoverished eons
dition of Georgia, the great majority of
our young men are abfe otily to study
those sciences which result in imme
diate and practical benefits to them.—
Everything that tends toward the en
lightenment of our agriculturists in the
sciences on which their success des
pvmln n* vuU'* receive; PI'J.U
its hearty endorsement and its liberal
support. The Agricultural College at
Athens is not doing much. The truth
is the entire University has been a
failure for the past two years. Good
agricultural schools at the ooints named
would be a blessing to the whole State.
Southern and Middle Georgia have a
right to ask for them for the Northern
part of the State has two sush schools
—one at*Athens and one atDahlouega,
We mnst develop Georgia. We must
have skilled and educated farmers.—
The proposed schools will help toward
this end. Therefore let us by all
means have them. AJACKS.
(■food Digestion.
“Give us this day our daily bread’’
and good medicine to digest it, is both
reverent and human. The human
stomach and liver are fruitful sources
of life’s comforts; or. disordered and
diseased, they tingle misery along every
nerve and through every artery the
man or woman with good digestion see
beauty as they walk, and overcome
obstacles they meet in the routine of
life, where the dyspeptic sees only
gloom and stumbles and growls at even
imaginary objects. The world still
needs two nr three new kinds of medi
cine before death can bo perfectly abol
ished; but that many lives have been
prolonged, and many sufferers from
Liver disease, Dyspepsia and .Headache
have been cured by Merrell’s Hera
tine, is no longer a doubt. It cures
Headache in twenty minutes, and there
is no question but what it is the most
wonderful discovery yet made in medi
cal science. Those afflicted with Bil
liousness and Liver Complaint should
use Merrell’s Tlepatine.
It can be had at Dr. John A Griffin,
Greenesboro Ga.
THE nOTiIUK
Often innocently gives her nursing little
ne the severest Colic or Cholera Infantum
by indulging herself in fruits and vegeta

by the mother, will not only counteract
this dangerous effect on her babe, but will
strengthen her own nervous and physical
system, and impart to her little one quiet,
cheerfulness, freedom from pain: anda dis
position to refreshing sleep. It is a most
cheering relief from the miseries of Dys
pepsin, lied ache, Nervousness, Palpitation,
Heart burn, Liver disorders, Constipation,
Low Spirits and Wakefulness, and the
dangerous Cholera Infantum, Cramps, Col
ic, Cholera Morbus, Diarrhoea and Dysen

cured by this matchless and invigorating
corrective. Buy from your druggist, John
