The Conservatives must organize. The friends
of a white man’s government must be known.
Noses must be counted. This can be done
onl)' by enrolling as members of the Conserva
tive Club of Coweta. There is no oath, no
secrecy, no initiation fee. If you earnestly
desire the supremacy of the white man and
intend to vote against negro supremacy, you
are fit to enroll.

Jdie motion to reconsider prevailed, when
the whole matter was laid on the table.
Mr. Martin, of Habersham, offered the fol

to order the Treasurer of Georgia to deposit in

Let us take this view of the case: The Consti
tution of the United States declares that each
j State is entitled to be represented in the Senate
by two Senators. Now suppose Georgia should
J by Convention declare the State entitled to
three? Senators, does any one ln-lieve such a
j declaration, no matter how solemnly uttered,
| would he i.f any effect? Surely not. Then if
a State cannot violate the clause of the United
States Constitution referred to. how ran any
sane man believe it can violate, by repudiation,
that clause which says “No State shall pa
any law impairing the
Ac., can be cheaply gotten, and let there be
buildings erected for the sheltering of those
who may have to go there. There is no neces
sity fer the erection of very costly buildings
until we get more able ; but something cheap
and comfortable. I believe that the taxes we
pay in two years, an-I the charities we bestow
upon those who seek them, will purchase the
ual read and approved.
Mr. Rrvant. moved to

were called, and resulted yeas 80; nays 60.—
There not being two-thirds in the affirmative,
the motion wap- lost.
The call was proceeded with.

Thoughts on the Times.
Xkv.nan, Ga., January 15th, 1S68.
Dear Herald: ’There are among us to day
many scores of persons who are dependant up
on the generosity of others ; in other words,
there are those who must live by alms. Those
individuals, in many instances, have seen more
prosperous'days.- Many of them once lived in
comparative affluence ami wealth. 'That pride,
which is so laudable and praiseworthy, keeps I
some from soliciting aid at the hands of their j
friends and neighbors when they really deserve
it; while there are others who are able to work
and make a comfortable support, that are con
stantly pleading for help. Many of those who i
are sufficiently able to labor for a living, and
could get situations in 'families where they I
would be kindly treated and cared for, if they j
wouW prove faithful and industrious, will not I
of all to pay their mite who are at all able for
the susfitinance of the poor.
There are many good reasons that might he
given lor the adoption of the plan suggested,
looking to the moral and intellectual culture
of those people, in which all, as citizens of the
same community, are greatly interested ; for as I
you cultivate the mind and the morals of the I
people, you take them from the Boor House I
and make good and profitable citizens of them. !
One great difficulty may seem insurmountable
to some, that is the mingling or rather the
separation of the two races. I see no great
difficulty or obstacle here. All that is necessa
ry is to have separate buildings for them. 4Ye
never expect to admit the negro to a social
J equality with us in this country. They have
never been admitted to such equality with the
truly while in any country, nor will’they ever be
here. I want all provided for who deserve it,
and none others. And we can control this
thing if we intend to make this a white man’s
government, as we have announced our pur
pose to do.
I do not want the blacks injured in any wav.
I am willing to do anything for their advance-

Removal cf the Governor and State
Treasurer.
’1 he order of Gen. Meade removing Georgia's
honored Governor and faithful State ’Treasurer
will be found in another column. The cause
of their removal was the determination of His
Excellency and the Treasurer to refuse to-per
mit the disbursing officer of the so-cailcd State
Convention to put his hand into the Treasury j ,' p
<»f the State and “grab” enough of the peo
ple’s money to pay the m<m>l> m r-f cue Menag
erie. Well, be it so. The people, the intelli
gence and virtue of the State sustain Charles
J. Jenkins and John Jones, and in the good
days coming will reward them as they deserve.
We opine, too, that Gen. Meade will regret
this step and live to see the day that he will
curse the hour in which he displaced two of as
pure find honest officials as ever served the
public.
But the people’s money may not he in the
Treasury nuir—it may be somewhere else ; and as
Gov. Jenkins, previous to his displacement, is-
for the erection of the buildings of which I
spoke above, and I hope the people may be
aroused to action in the matter. Ail well reg
