Col J. J. Mojihisun.—This gentleman, who
was the gallant Colonel of a regiment of Geor
gia Cavalry during the war, 1ms a card in the
Atlanta Intelligencer of the 10th, in which he
states that he opposed secession, hut sided with
his State after the adoption of other councils.
During the war he did all in his power for the
fcUCceSK or the cause, and since the surrender
lias acted with tile reconstruction party until
the action of the Convention attempting to
force negro social and political equality upon
the white race, and being totally opposed to
such measures, he bids farewell to former party
friends. Morrison has been very sick, but is
convalescent. Conservatism will cure all who
are not black through and through. The
Colonel concludes thVs:
“With such views upon me, I cannot any
longer affiliate with the reconstruction party,
hut renounce them and their teachings, as I
emphatically do the devil incarnate. Their
object is evidently to degrade the white man
or to destroy the poor negro. I am no longer
for such a party, and I quit it now because I
see the cloven foot sticking out. The Demo
cratic or Conservative party is now' the only
party in existence to which we can with confi
dence look for the salvation of the country
from calamities more horrible than pen can
describe ; and I trust that my friends who have
heretofore been with me on this reconstruction
question will take the pains to examine into
this matter for themselves, and decide upon
whatever, in their sound judgment, is the sa
fest, surest, and wisest course to pursue.
Respectfully, J. J. Morrison.
Our Policy.
The day now is when every true Georgian
must do his whole duty ; for if the constitution
framed by the late unlawful Convention is rat
ified and Bullock is elected, the “abomination
of desolation” will be set up in the land, and
every decent, virtuous patriot will be driven
from the service of the State, the treasury
robbed, and the tax-payers saddled with bur
dens too grievous and heavy to be borne. The
evils inherent in the constitution have been
only hinted at by Mr. Hill in liis great speech
on the situation. The elevation of Bullock to
the Gubernatorial Chair will place at the dis-
disposal of the wolfish Radicals the property and
rights of Georgians. The Governor will, by
virtue of the constitution, appoint the Judicia
ry, from District to Supreme Court Judges. In
fact the Executive patronage will be so large
that the good people, honest, respectable peo
ple of the State would, in the event of the
election of a Radical Governor, be at the mercy
of a vile, unprincipled, worthless class of offi
cials. In brief, our beloved State would be
cursed with a government so vile and despica
ble that even devils would feel their bosoms
swell with sympathy for us.
How. what policy should that portion of our
people, who oppose fraud, corruption, negro
rule and Radical government, adopt? Why,
evidently, they should use every honest, fair,
just, reasonable means calculated to defeat the
constitution and the Radical nominee for Gov
ernor. What are these means? In the first
place we should, to the extent of our ability,
arouse internal enthusiasm, which will warm
and excite our associates, but not arouse the
opposition of the ignorant adversary. Let the
enormities of the constitution be exposed, the
horrors of negro rule, the villainy of Radical
ism be portrayed in glowing colors. Head
with men of gcod hearts, for the sake of seif,
country, wife aud children, to do their full
duty, to vote, and urge every neighbor to vote
against Bullock and ratification. Let it be un
derstood that posterity will hold us accounta
ble for our action in the premises. We are
now engaged in the last grand battle for liberty
and social existence, and what white man will
dare, light for despotism aud disorder ? Wluit
white man will favor the marriage of whites
Siali of unassailable parity and morality o!
character. Rather than disregard what he
thought were the requirements of his oath,
to-wit: obey Rope’s negro jury order. Judge
Reese surrendered the profits and honors of his
high office, and retired to private life. From
that retirement he has been called by his coun
trymen to aid in saving this great State from
the blighting curse of negro rule. We believe
he will receive more votes of whites than were
ever cast for a candidate since the organization
of the State. He has consented to become a
candidate, and his letter of acceptance will be
made public in a few days.

Pursuant to the call of the Chairman,
the Central Executive Committee of the
National Democratic Party of Georgia,
convened last evening, and continued

following proceedings were ordered to be
published.
Resolved, That the opinions and feel

Georgia and or the United States upon
the unconstituiionality and injustice ot
the Deconstruction Acts of Congress, are
too decided and well known to requite
reiteration here. Their opposition to the
action of the several Conventions called
in pursuance to those Acts, and to the
effort to establish the supremacy of the
Negro race in the South, and to place
the destinies of these States in the hand,
of adventurers and irresponsible persons,
is equally decided and well known. Yet,

orders from these Headquarters.
TIL The courts and officers of the Provis

MASS MEETING!
ON THE PARADE GROUND,
Savannah, Ga., Monday, March 16th, 1868,
to nominate Congressman, Senator an 1 Repre

law directs.
Come one, come all, and pave the way to ratify
the Constitution of Georgia !
Do all the good you can,
To all the people you can,

In every place you can.
Come, rally round the flag, boys,
Come, rally once again ;

A. Alpeoiua Bradley,
Acting Secretary on the Call.
The Savannah Republican says the day hav
ing arrived, Bradley called the meeting to order,
read the call, placing peculiar emphasis on the
“ Rally ” portion of them, he invited the crowd
to join in singing “with fire and spirit that
good old war hymn, Rally Round the Flag,
Roys! Rally Once Again.” Five or six voices
immediately struck up the refrain, and the
noise sounded like the creaking of rusty win
dow shutters on a windy day. When they had
progressed as far as the “Rally Once Again”
they broke down, and the attempt to sing fiz
zled out. After a few remarks, none of which
were in reference to the object of the meeting,
he took out his list, and commenced to read
the nominations.' The body proceeded to nom
inate candidates for all the officers from Gover
nor to constable. Bradley was nominated for
the State Senate, and three of the Hopkins
family for Mayor, Tax Receiver and Tax Col

with the position I now oecupy, my own
feelings and inclinations would prompt
me to decline tIte proposed candidacy )
but it it is thought that I can be of any
service to tlie people of my native State
in this time of trial, I am willing to tore-
go all personal consideration, and am
ready to make any reasonable sacrifice for
their relief. I therefore yield to the ur
gent request made, and consent to become
a candidate for the office of Governor. 1
have only to say, that should I be elevated
to that high and responsible office, I will,
to the utmost of my ability, administer
the Government according to the Con
stitution and laws, and for the best in
terest and welfare of the whole people of
the State.
The time between this and the elec
tion is so short, that it will be impossible
for me to canvass the State. 1 must
therefore leave that matter to my friends.
Sincerely grateful for the confidence
arid partiality expressed in the various
communications before alluded to, I am
very respectfully, your obedient servant,
and fellow citizen,
David Irwin.

Villaxow, Walker County, Ga. i
June 29, 1806. (
Dr. John Bull—Dear Sir: I have recently
given your “Worm Destroyer” several triai-
and find it wonderfully efficacious. It has not
failed in a single instance to have the wished-
for effect. I am doing a pretty large conntrv
practice, and have daily use for some article of
the kind. I am free to confess that I known;
no remedy recommended by the ablest auth-r-
thnt is so certain and speedy in its effects. On
the contrary they are uncertain in the extreme.
.My object in writing to you is to find out upon
what terms I can get the medicine directly
from you. If I can get it upon easy terms, 1
shall use a great deal of it. I am aware that
the use of such articles is contrary to the teach
ings and practice of a great majority of tho
regular line of M. D.’s, but I see rio just causa
or good sense in discarding a remedy which wc
know to be efficient,simply because we maybe
ignorant of its combination. For my part, I
shall make it a rule to use all and any means
to alleviate suffering humanity which 1 may!-:
able to command—not hesitating because some
one more ingenious than myself may have
learned its effects first, and secured the solo
light, to use that knowledge. However, lam

thousands of worthless nostrums that lined

Coweta County, March 18th, 1888.
We, the undersigned, have to-day witnessed
on the farm of Joseph Amis, Fisq., of this
county, the trial of a Cotton Seed Blunter,
Garlington’s Patent, which we have no hesi
tancy in recommending as the very best thing
of the kind that we have seen. The ground
on which it was tried was very rough, yet it
performed the work in as perfect a manner as
could be desired. It opens the fn'row, drops
the seed aud covers, all ia the same operation ;
and can be adjusted in a few seconds of time
so as to sow any desired quantity of guano,
cotton seed, peas or wheat per acre. Where as
much as thirty or forty acres are to he planted
in cotton, the amount of seed saved by this
dropper would no doubt pay the cost of the
machine.
We, therefore, take great pleasure in recom
mending it as a money, as well as labor-saving
machine.
fifMr. Amis has the right for this county.
