State Convention.
Th** Demo* ratio Stale Convention
assembles lo day in Atlanta for die
purpose of sending delegates lo the j
National Democratic. Convention,
which convenes on die Odi ol July,
in Baltimore, to nominate candidates
fiir President and Vice-President.—
In view of the fact that there is a
division in the party, more interest is
manifested in its proceeding* than
in nnv political convention held in
Georgia since the war, and eonse
ipipntly a large number of the lead
ing men of the State have been ap
pointed delegate*. Among the dele
gate* we notice Toonil**, Stephens,
Hill, Gen. Wright, Gaidner, Har
deman, General Henning, Colquitt
Seward, Underwood, Lamar and j
Judge Irwin. It is, therefore, to be
presumed that no liastv, incoruiderate
retina wiU UtrTtrt.'rti, hut that every
question which may effect the welfare
of the partv will be fully discussed
and matured. In common with all
true Southern men who look hope
fully to the action of our State, we |
deprecate bitter stiife and contention, j
Let the voice of the majority rule, j
and when the Convention ads, not 1
through fraud and tiiekery, but by j
an Honest, fair, manly course, let us !
all, without respect to our individual
opinion* heretofore, quietly acquiesce
If the Convention is fairly conducted,
a* we have every rea-on to believe it
will be, let there he no bolters; no
voice raising discord in the party.
Unless there should be a split in the
Democratic party, we are satisfied
there will be no contest in Georgia.
Grant and bis party will hardly be
able to muster a corporal’s guard
from the Georgia Railroad to llm
mountains, and the majority here
given will overbalance any majorities
which may l>e obtained in the middle
counties of the State.
There arc a few leading politicians
in the State who a*sett beforehand
that they will not submit to the ac
tion of the party at Baltimore, unless
the policy there adopted coincides
with their views. In our judgment,
this is wrong; its whole tendency is
lo disorganization. It is selling up
tlie individual opinions of a few men
against the combined wisdom of the
party. We ate friends met for conn,
sel, and not enemies organized for
battle; and when we have calmly
surveyed the situation and determin
ed to act, let all fall into line and
keep step to the mu*ic.
We have our own opinion as to
the proper course to be pursued to
defeat Grant and centralism, but we
have never set ourselves up to be
more competent to shape the policy
of the party than a convention com
bining, to a great extent, the wisdom
of the entire party. We are glad to
see that nine-tenths of the counties
have pledged themselves to abide the
action of the National Convention.
So far as we are concerned, we are
willing to leave the decision of the
question, whether the party ought to
make a nomination, to the Northern
Democracy, as they "ill have “to
bear the heat and burthen of the day.”
General A. R. Wiight, of the
Chronicle & Sentinel, goes for the
editor of the Milledgeville Federal
Union thusly : “But really, what
does the Union mean by its offensive
and gratuitous insult to the great
laxly of upright and honest people
in this county, who, before the war,
did not belong to the Democratic
party ? Surely, there must have been a
motive for this uncalled lor and bittter
attack. If the Union aud those who
agree with it intend, in the future, to
make invidious and offensive discrim
inations in the party organiz itions
against this class of its members,
such intention ought lo be openly
avowed, and not insinuated in this
unfair and roundabout way.
The charge that several of those
who “figured extensively” in the
Richmond county meeting were not
true to the country in the times “that
tried men’s souls,” is a slander un
worthy of the editor of the Union.
The record of these gentlemen is be
fore the country —their conduct lias
becu passed upon by the public, mid
their gallantry, sacrifices and services
in behalf of the Lost Cause have
won plaudit* of commendation and
approval from the whole Southern
people. Men who perilled tliei.l lives*
and their property for the cause of
their State and of the South, “in the
times that tried men’s souls,” should
not mnv be attacked by those who,
in tlio-e time* of danger, found shel
ter and safety under Joe Brown’s
coat tai'.”

Col. Sum. .J. Winn lor Senator.
Mu Kdttor : Permit me to call
your altenti'in to the tact that Gwirv
nett county is entitled to nominate
the Democratic candidate to repre
sent the 34th Senatorial Ibstric*.
composed of Gwinnett, DeKalb and
Henrv, in our next Legislature—a
fai lof which many see n to be en
tirely oblivious.
Whilst we have no complaint to
make at that steiling Democrat, lion
Milton A. Candler, who has so ably,
faithfully and satisfactorily represent
ed us during the last four years, still
our county is entitled to the candi
date, and we have many who could
represent the District ably and cred
itably. In this connection, i ermit
me (without, wishing to disparaging
the claims of other worthy gentlemen)
to suggest the name of Col. Sam J.
W inn as one, in every respect, qual
ified to represent the interests of the
District with credit to himself and
satisfaction to his constituents.
Col. Winn is a gentleman of fine
culture, extensive legal attainments
and unswerving integrity and has
never been an aspirant for any public
office, having confined himself exclu
sively to the pursuit of hi* profession.
Would it not be well to have an ex
pression of public opinion on this
subject at an early day ! What say
you, Mr. Editor, to this suggestion.
(j winn err.
From the St. Louis Republican.
Grant ami Johnson.
It is a singular fact that Senator
Sumner now stands in the same rela
tion towards President Grant as he
stood in towards President Johnson ;
and the interest of this repetition of
his course is increased by the fact
that, in comparing Grant with John
son, he makes the former tire worse
of the two. The Republican party
impeached President Johnson for
alleged usurpations of power and vi
olations of tha Constitution, and they
came very near deposing him ; yet
Mr. Sunnier, who warmly supported
the movement against Johnson, now
declares that President Grant more
richly deserves to he impeached and
deposed than his predecessor. In
his late speech in the Senate, the
Massachusetts Senator says :
“In exhibiting this autocratic pre
tension, so revolutionary and unre
publican in character, I mean to be
moderate in language and keep with
in the strictest bounds. The facts
are indisputable, and nobody can
deny the gross violation of the Con
stitution and of international law
with insult to the black Republic—
the whole case being more reprehen*
siblo, as also plainly more unconsti
tutional and more illegal than any
thing alleged against Andrew John
son on his impeachment.’’
This is strong language ; if it had
la*en spoken by a Democratic Sena
tor, the President's friends would
only have laughed at it; but when
it is spoken by tlie most eminent
Republican Senator from tbo most
steadfast Republican State in the
Union, they cannot afford to make
light of it. They must either an
swer it or lake the consequences of
its effect on the public mind.
But the Senator runs the compar
ison between the two Presidents in
another matter, with unfavorable re
sults to Grant. The claim most
loudly urged in favor of Grant is the
reduction of the public debt under
his Administration. This reduction
is claimed to be his work, and he is
awarded the credit of it, as though
the money paid on the debt hud
come out of his pocket instead of
the people's. But Senator Sumner
disposes of this boast by alleging
the demonstrable fact that the reduo
tion of the debt under Johnson was
greater than it has been under Grant.
He says :
“Show, then, his success. Is it in
the finances ? The national debt ha#
been reduced ; but not to so large an
amount as by Andrew Jobuson in
the same space of time. Little merit
is due either, for each employed the
means allowed by Congress. To the
American people is this reduction due,
and not to any President. And while
our President in this respect is no
better than his predecessor, he can
claim no merit for any systematic
effort to reduce taxation or restore
specie payments.”
The Radical party never imagined
that it would find itself nominating
for the Presidency a less deserving
man than Andrew Johnson ; yet we
have the testimony of a distinguish
ed Republican Senator who voted
against Johnson, that it isdoing that
very thing

Situation.
Mr. C. W. Woolly publishes ilia
following letter in tbe Cincinnati
Commerrial :
Long Island, May 21, 1872.
Your kind letter of the 17th inst.
reached me here, and in reply I beg
to express to you my thanks tot the
flattering confidence which you man
ifest for my judgment and sincerity
of purpose.
I may err in my appreciation of
the dilliculties which surround us,
but I can say without egotism, that
1 merit your good opinion as to the
sincerity of my intentions. So much
am I impressed with the fatal conse
quences in store for our common
country by the re-election of Grant
that 1 could willingly vote for my
deadliest enemy iu order to prevent
such a catastrophe. ’1 he nomination
of Greeley is one of those stupendous
mistakes which it is difficult even to
comprehend; but it is now an ao
compiished fact, and we have to deal
with it as best we can. I take it for
granted that all thinking men have
come to the conclusion by this time
that the nomination of a stiait Dem
ocratic ticket at Baltimore will either
elect Grant by tbe people—in case |
of Greeley’s withdrawal—or throw
the election into the House if Gree
ley should stand a poll, and then,
also, Grant will he sure to bo elected.
If the Convention can be got to nom
inate Greeley at Baltimore, with any
thing like unanimity, the large body
of the Democratic party throughout
the country will vote for him, and
wo shall have enough Republican
votes to make the election more than
probable, even if we should lose one
third of our vote by defection and
apathy
Whether this nomination can be
brought about remains a serious
question, and l am not able e'en to
form a judgment on this point at
this early day. At present many
leading men and party organs, bs- |
sides a very large portion of the Ger ;
man vote, are bitterly opposed to ,
him. Between now and the oth of
July Greeley’s strength must show
an increase or decline, and it will
then be for our convention to adopt
what course may be deemed wisest.
Though he is to me almost the most
objectionable person whom the Lib
erals could select, still I am decidedly
of the opinion that our best policy
will be to indorse the Cincinnati
platform and ticket. This is the
general feeling in this State, and our
delegation to Baltimore is, by a large
majority, composed of Cieeley men.
As our delegation votes as a unit,
you may set the vote of New Yoik
down a* almost certain for Greeley.
I was not at Rochester, and have
been left off the list of delegates,
most probably on account of the
hostile position of the World and
Slants Zeitung against the Cincinnati
! nominees, as the delegation undoubt
edly vvns selected with but that one
i idea of making it sure for Greeley.
A most absurd story has, for years
past, been started and generally cred
ited —that 1 am r- large share-holder
in the World, and control its tendon
eies. I have never held a single
share in it, and do not exercise any
influence over its editorials.
Should circumstances shape them
selves so that the Liberals desert the
Cincinnati ticket between now and
July, and that we see a chance for
success by a separate ti« ket, then I
hope that the choice ma} fall on
Groesbeck. He, with Sanford Church
or J. (2- Adams, would make a stron
ger ticket than any other combina
tion. Yours, very truly,
August Belmont.
New York, Juno 1.
My Dear Sir: * * Greeley lias
so far not lost strength in our State,
and the meeting of the Free Traders,
night before last, though composed
of many of our best citizens, did not
; have any outside effect. Their plan
|of making a new nomination will
amount to nothing.
Yours, very truly,
August Belmont.
Talking^of Giant’s shortcomings,
his supporters remind us of a pool
fellow who applied to a manager of a
theatre once for an engagement as
leading tragedian. “But you have a
husky, disagreeable voice,” remon
strated the manager. “So had Kean,”
responded the applicant. “You have
crooked legs.” “So had Garrick."
[“You have a bad figure.” “So had
Booth.” “You have a dull, disagree
able face.” “So bad Bannister.”—
“But you have all these defects.”—
“And so much tiie more remarkable,”
closed up the stage struck mortal.
And now one says of Grant: “lie
j pots relatives in office.” “So did
j Madison,” roats the backers. “He
violates the law and has military
j officers fill civil positions.” “So did
i Jackson.” “He accepts gifts.” “So
j did Wellington.” “lie gives offices
jin return. “So did Walpole.” “He
feeds his favorite out of the public
crib.” “So did l’olk.” “But lie does
all these things.” “So much the
more remarkable. ’Rah for Grant !”

No Earthly Doubt of IJalti
morc Endorsing Greeley.
Information now concentrated here
leaves no eolhjy doubt of the nomi
nation of Greefey at Baltimore by a
great, a very great majority, probably
two thirds and more. The nomina
tion will he a cheerful, hearty one,
and will thus start l ominanding suc
cess. W hen the nomination is made,
nine hundred and ninety-nine out of
every thousand Democrats will come
into the line, ami for every Democrat
lost ibeie will he ten Republican
gen*. We now have, as far as con
rentions hav* been heid, every Wes
tern St fta pronouncing for Greeley,
including—and very unexpectedly—
Indiana, despite Dan, Voorhees’ pro
nunciamento. Hendricks, tbe old
staunch Democrat, and George W.
Julian, the earliest of the old Aboil- !
tionists, have joined hands there, and ,
a Republican is run on tbe general
Congress ticket with Kerr (Demo
crat.) Hendricks will be elected,
then go to the Senate, and the Dem
ocratic candidate for Lieutenant-Gov
ernor, who is a Methodist of great
wealth, will take his p!ace as Gov
ernos of the State. Morton will
thus he permitted to stay at borne.
The Eastern States will all be Gree
ley. There are a few exceptions—
one, perhaps, in Rhode Island. The
central States will all be Greeley,
Delaware exceeted, whose eves have
yet been opened to the fact that Lite
thirteenth amendments are irrevoca
bly in the Federal Constitution. —
There may Ire some little trouble
from New Jersey, but there are no
great signs of it. The majority of
Pennsylvania Delegation are known
to he fur Greeley, and in the end the
vote of the State, it is believed, will
be a unit. The Southern States,
without exception, will be Greeley,
sunless there be a divided vote fiom
Georgia, where the Bourbon element
has not heard of the civil war. In
Baltimore, where the conven'ion is
to lie held, the enthusiasm for Gree
ley is intense. The b’liovs are pre
paring tbe biggest sort of demonstia
lions to welcome the New Yorkers
and all the other States of tbe Union.
The big ball is rolling—and whoever
does not roll on with it, will roll
under. —New York F.rpress.
The New Postal Law. —The new
postal law passed at the last session
of Congress will be put into opera
tion as soon as possible. It was in
tended that the act should go into
effect immediately upon its psssage,
but the depaitment found it impossi
ble to do so, as instructions to post
masters had to be prepared and dis
tributed ; the new postal cards man
ufactured, and various other minor
details lo be arranged. Among the
most important changes made by the
new law is one reducing the rate of
postage on printed matter from two
cents on four ounces or fractional
part thereof, so that small rewspa-'
pers or other small packages of
printed matter can be sent hereafter
for one cent instead of two. The
postal card feature is another impor
tant change, and ariangemonts are
now being made for their manufac
lure, Gen Terrell, the 3 I assistant,
being in New York on that business.
These cards will bo furnished by the
department, and are to be on good i
stiff paper with postage stamps im- i
pressed thereon. It will be at least
six weeks or two months before a
sufficient quantity can be made to
supply all sections of the country.
The new law also provides that in
densely populated localities where
the post offices of neighboring cities
are within three miles of each other,
letters dropped in one city for such
neighboring city as drop letters, shall
be delivered subject to a charge of
deficient postage on delivery.- Wash
