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'.” l'or the Gwinnett Herald. 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 Delegates from Muscogee.— By virtue of the authority vested in me as Chairman of the Democratic meet ing held in this city on Saturday last, I hereby appoint the following gentleman delegates to the Atlanta Convention : General Henry L. Den ning, A. li. Lamar, Esq., Col. Mark 11. Dlandford, James M. Russell, Esq., Dr. George B. Heard, Col. F. G. Wilkins. Marms' J. Crawford, Chairman. Personal. —Mr. Sickles is said to be again on his homeward way from Spain. Secretary Harlan has become half owner of the Washington Chronicle.

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 !” Delegates from South Carolina to Baltimore. —The following dele gates to the Baltimore Convention were elected by the recent South Carolina Democratic Convention : State at latge—James F. Izlar, Simeon Fair, W. 11. Wallace, E. M. Law, W. D. Porter, Win. Aiken, James Obesuut, J. D. Frazer. 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 ington Star.
