Mammoth Democratic Mass Meeting
of Yesterday.
At 10 o'clock a. m., the great Democratic '
Wigwam was crowded. Some 15,000 of as
noble men and women as breathe the breath of
God’s air, had assembled to do honor to the
occasion, to testily their ardent zeal in the
cause of Georgia and the South, and to pay j
homage to the risen st ir of Democracy. The j
day was charming. The sun smiled aho.e the j

Their wisdom is further shown in the! ^ ie P r ' nted Uws, heretofore, have not

the duties thereby imposed upon them.—

The President stated that the following gen
tlemen would now address the meeting in the
order in which they were named: Hon. Robert
Toombs, lion. Howell Cobb and Non. Ben. Hill.
•The rising of Mr. Toombs was the signal for
a deafening shout that carried us far back to
the times when Georgia was Georgia.
We shall not attempt to give even a synopsis
of this great man’s speech, or of those other
illustrious Georgians who followed him. He
said, among other things, tiiat he rejoiced to
see, after four years of war and three years of
Radical peace—ten times worse than war—so
many Georgians assembled to strike for (be
great principles of the Democratic party and
another blow for freedom. In the name of

When true men on both sides were bravely

Still further, as an evidence of our en
lightenment and advancement in the scale
of humanity and moral progress, by the
Twenty-second Section of the same Arti
cle, “Whipping, as a punishment for
crime is abolished.” The whipping post
will no longer shock the sensibilties of
our citizens.
LOTTERIES PROHIBITED.
Another most salutary provision is
found in Section Twenty-three of the
same Article, which enacts that “No Lot
tery shall be authorized, or sale of lottery
tickets allowed in this State, and adequate
penalties for such sale shall be provided
bylaw.” This section, in my judgment,
will be found to be a great conservator of
public morals, and it becomes your duty
to provide, by approprate legislation, ade
quate penalties to prevent the continu
ance of this demoralizing traffic.
TOLL TAX.
Section Twenty-Nine of the same Ar
ticle prescribes “That no poll tax shall be
levied except for Educational purposes,
and such tax shall not exceed one dollar
which have not been accessible to the, Ordinary, he would not be able to per
public at large. This mode of publica
tion will insure a more general diffusion
of the data and information with which
the reports are usually filled, and inci
dentally lead to a more intimate knowledge
of the laws among our citizens, and a
more discriminating economy iu our dis
basements. ♦
)
LEGISLATURE.
Article Third, Section Six, Paragraph
Two, provides that “No vote, resolution,
law or order, shall pass granting a dona
tion of gratuity in favor ot any person, ex
cept by the concurrence of two-thirds ot
each branch of the General Assembly,
nor by any vote to a sectarian corporation
or association ” The prohibition from
donating in favor of sectarian associations
is au amendment to the old Constitution,
and one that will meet the favorable con
sideration of our citizens.
Paragraph Three of the same Article
provides that “No law or section of the
Code shall be amended or repealed by
mere reference to its title or the number
