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. Great Britain ; in 1803. John Pickering, Justice of the District Court of the District of New Hampshire, was impeached on four charges, one of which alleged that he was a man of loose morals and intemperate habits; in 180-5, the impeachment of Samuel Chase, Assistant Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, was the cause of great public excite ment ; in 1830, James H.

The following proceedings were ordered to be published. Resolved, That the opinions and feel ings of the National Democratic party of 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.

Attorney General’s Office, ) Washington, March 11th, 1888. ) Mr. President: When you first expressed your wish that I should engage as one of yom counsel in the pending impeachment, i felt au embarrassment growing cut of my official position. I then said that, although there was Savannah Negroes in Council. The Savannah negroes and mean whites, wishing to hold a political meeting on last Monday, served the following notice on the Chief of Police: “To Oapt Anderson Cicf of Polis Fir Pleas tak notis of a meeting to be held on the Parade Ground, hack of the Park, on Tuesday, the IGtli inst., at 8 o’clock P. A” Enclosed was the following call: • FELLOW CITIZENS! Again the Wauhoo has lit his torch, and call upon the people of the First Congressional District to rally, rally, rally, the voters of Savannah, Chatham, Effingham and Bryant county in one grand MASS MEETING! ON THE PARADE GROUND, Savannah, Ga., Monday, March 16th, 1868, to nominate Congressman, Senator an 1 Repre sentatives, and do such other business as the 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 all the ways you can, In every place you can. Come, rally round the flag, boys, Come, rally once again ; And vote for Liberty and the Union. 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 lector. tuated by the instinct of self-preservations we feci it to be our duty, to the extent of our ne wer, to provide against every con tingency, and therefore would urge upon our friends to participate in the e ections which are to be held on the 20th April, proximo, to the end that the best and wisest men—permanently identified with Georgia, and who will administer her government in the interests of the people, and not for the purposes of plunder—be chosen to organize the government and frame the laws under, which we and our posterity may have to live. Resolved, That in view of these prin ciples and objects, we recommend to the people of every name and laith, who have the honor and welfare of the State at heart, that able jurist, conservative states man, and incorruptible patriot, Don. Augustus Deese, of the county of Mor gan, as their candidate for Governor of Georgia at the approaching election. Resolved, That we urge upon our friends throughout the State, the vital importance of organizing thoroughly and forthwith^ and putting in the field, for all public offices, candidates of established character and devotion to the best in terests of Georgia. Resolved, That the Democrats and Conservatives of the several Congressional Districts be requested to meet in Conven tion, at their usual places, on Tuesday, the 31st day of March inst., for the pur pose of nominating candidates for Con gress and delegates to the National Demo cratic Convention.

I have now before me various commun ications from different parts of the State, signed by citizens irrespective of political or party differences, urging me to become a candidate for the office ot Governor at the approaching election, and the subject involved has been carefully considered. Preferring quietude, and being satisfied 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. DR.

( 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 by no means an advocate and supporter of the thousands of worthless nostrums that lined the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which human flesh is heir. l’lea?e reply soon, and inform me of your best terms.

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. C. J. HARRIS, .March 2l-3t. J- Ft- TOLBERT.
