The* attention of Sportsmen and Dealers is called t« the following facts : At the trial of Arms before the Examining Board in Washington, August, JS66, cartridges made from this powder, gave Tar greater penetration, range, and cleanliness, in competition with the principal Ameri proved in ev«ry respect superior to alnßliers. At the Wimbledon Bitb* Meeting in England, July. 1866. competing with the best of foreign powders, the same results were obtained with the first prize. The Board convened by order of tbeComman- ! der in-Chief of the State of New York for the ex- | animation of military small arms, whose sessions were attended by officers specially detached by j the Russian, Prussian and Danish Governments. ; say. in their printed report of the numerous gnus j on trial, that after firing 100 rounds nil but one became so foul as not to admit tbo cartridge. This led to a test of the jHUQglcr, and they deem the subject of so much importance that they sav ' in their report : ‘ The jioicder used in Uichc. ear- j tridfjt.H df.icrrr xj, trial juration as being very sn - j pn-ior.

Feeling the importune of-aLifVnsing early information arnon^tlippeople upon Ihe KubjrelH which wilWmmo before them the Committee in the exorcise «»f the au thority vested in them* resolved to pro ceed to immediate acljun and to indicate the policy which iiwtheir judgment is best adapted to urombte the public good Two questions arc presented to the people iu the election which nas been or dered for the 2(ftli of April. First. Shall the paper submitted by theConvcntup as the fundamental law of Georgia Jk)c ratified or rejected ? Second. AY ho shall administer the Gov eminent linger the new Constitution, if adopted/ Under the rules and regulations which will govern the approaching election and looking to the necessity of saving flic State from the disgrace and degradation of a domination which will carry ruin in its tinil) the policy best adapted to pro mote the public good will be to vote “against the Convention. 11 To enumerate the many objects which may be legitimately urged against that instrument, would swell this address to an unreasonable length. There is one ho [f oiliiiieir, and overwhelming lliut we would hos dcrclicit in duty to pass it by unnoticed. 4 Wo call your special attention to the 11th section of the 11th article in these words : “Should this Constitution bo ratified by the people and Congress accept the same with any qualifications or condi tions the government herein provided for and the officers elected shall nevertheless exist and continue in the e xercise of their several functions as the government of this State so far as the same may be consistent with tbo action of'jtho United States in the premises.” This section ptv.mi.t: Georgia in (he attitude OI seeking admission in the Un ion upon any qualifications or conditions which the present Radical Congress bit ter and malignant us it is, may prescribe If the white people of Georgia can stoop so low as to go before a Radical Con gress in that attitude, then, indeed they will have drained theeupof humiliation to tbo very dregs. Lost to every sense of honor and recreant to the dearest in terests of his State will ho be who can vote for a Constitution with such a pro vision. What Georgian ho base and so forgetful of the honor of his native State as to subject our good old Commoiiweath to such humiliation ? Let the instru ment containing the infamous proposi tion be rejected with scorn and indigna tion. Wc use strong laugua e, but not i stronger than the subject demands. If it be not out of place, we especially warn one class of our fellow citizens, who are opposed to the Constitution up on principle and yet feel constrained to vote for it on account of the pecuniary relief which it,w ill afford them to be ware of the cheat about to be imposed upon them. They excuse their vote for ratification solely upon the ground of obtaining relief from an indebtedness which on account of the destruction of their property by the Government, they are unable to discharge. Those who in dulge in hopes of relief Dorn this source are doomed to be disappointed. But their disappointment is not the worst part of the matter. It is deception practiced upon them which is most reprehensible. This de ception is attempted by men who ouce stood high in public favor. One who has enjoyed to a greater extent than any other individual the highest honor the peopleJ of Georgia can bestow is urgent in his appeals to the p* p - to adopt the ■Constitution on account of the clause which relieves them from their debts. But he knows and must know.that if the Constitution be submitted to Congress with an invitation to qualify or modify it - tie v may sc«**proper, it will c<*me i aek . s r ; es measure and the expectations winch lie so industriously labji&to,q3.qitL mil ucvvi; be realized.— Thorfe who mayjvote for the Constitu tion under the delusive hope of obtain ing relief from their indebtedness, will rush into the not which is spread to catch them ; but when in the bait which lured them on, will disappear aud they will bo entangled in meshes from which there will be no essape. There is but one course for honest men to pursue and that is to reject in dignantly the bribe which is offered for their v>tes, and withjit the men who would deceive and betray them. One other objection to the adoption of the Constitution and the government it is intended to organize wo beg leave to urge and that is ti.e heavy expense it will entail upon the State. It may be safely affirmed that if the now government shall go into open tion according to the provisions of the pro posed Constitution, it will upon a fnoder ate estimate cost the State not less than $3,000,000. W hy throw this heavy burden upon the people in their present impoverished condith n ? Why do it when there is no actual necessity for it ? Why the enor mous expense for substituting anew Constitution in the place of one already iu operation with and which the people wore content. Why must it 1 C done. The correct answer is it is to be done to in crease the number of voters and to give the Radical party permanent power in the State. This is the true object what ever may he the pretext to the contrary. And that class of persons for w .use es pecial benefit this reconstruction meas ure is thrust upon the .State and who are to be invested with the right of suffrage in the new organization will bear but little if any of ihi; heavy burden Al m >st its entire weight will fall upon those who own the taxable property. Will they stand it ! Let. them answer at the [lolls on the 20th of next month. 2. Who shall administer the Govern ment under the new Constitution if adop led ? Looking to a contingency that may occur, the friends of order aud good gov ernment in all the counties and Senato rial districts of this State are invoked to bring out their wisest and best men who arc eligible to seats in the Legislature and not io i. roil, their labors until they shall love se.- t .1 their election. (f the f 'on'. ! f uiion now to be voted on shall be adopted and become the funda mental law of the land, the firat Legis lature which will assemble after its ad option will have the most vital interest of the people in their hands, and will con trol the destines of the State fur years to come. Ifovv important then, that Icgisla tion in coinmonci m *nt of the now g >v cit)meul take a right direction. llow ini mediately important that it be controlled by vinu : and intelligence -by “wisdom justice and moderation,” and not by ig norance, corruption aft/ A*b iSt^* If the friends of good government pre vail and secure a majority iu both branch os of the Legislature we may feel a*- sured at least that our fellow citizens will not De disturbed # in /lie enjoyments of their political rights. But if on the oilier hand the ydiould fall into the hands of men elected by an ig norant irresponsible constituency haviqg no inter to be affected injuriously by unwise legislation but having power to inflict injury upon others by an improp er choice of legislators without widom or discretion to direct them in the choice of rulers or virtue to withstand the ap proaches ol corruption we may become subject to all the wrongs and oppression which a venal corrupt and malignant Legislature can inflict. If any person shall affect to believe that such danger is not to be apprehen ded let them look at the of flic white race in Tennessee, and let the white people of Georgia be warned by her example and save themselves while they can from a like fate. If your judgments lead you to ratify the proposed Constitution unite with us in the election of honest and pure men to make laws and administer the gov ernment under if. The organization which wo represent meets the people of Georgia of a!l parties and views an 1 feelings in a spirit of conciliation and harmony. Wo present to the people no candidate for Governor as our nominee, and tin representative of all our views.

The issue is before you. Will you be ruled by wisdom, vir tue and intelligence, or by ignorance, stupidity, venality anil conniption? Choose your tale. Recollect the immense patronage which will he placed in the hands of your Gov eruor by the new Constitution, if it should be adopted: The control of the Western and Atlantic Itaihoad, wi h its income of over $1,000,000 annully; the nomination of the Judges of the Supreme and Superior Courts, the Attorney-Gen era!, Solicitor-General, the Senatorial District Judges ami Attorney, the State School Commissioner, and to appoint and commission Notaries Public, not to ex coed one for each Militia District, for a term ol fonryears, who shall he e. r officio -lustice ot the Pence. This is a part of the patronage to he wielded by your Governor and jxitrvnayn is p'lwer. Will you place it in the hands of a native Georgian, in whose integrity you can confide, or in the hands of a sti from nno lor S'ate, with whom you are unucipiaiutcd, and of whose antecedents you are ignoiant. If you select honest and intelligent men to legislate for you, and put an incorruptible patriot in your Executive Chair, ail will he well; lo t if your legis lative halls shall he filled by men elected to represent an ignorant, debased, degra ded contituoney. and if your Chief Mag istrate shall de| cud upon the same power to pat him in office, what other result can tic expected hut that venality and corruption will till your offices, and be scattered broadcast over the land? your legislators being corrupt, corruption and malignity will enact your laws.
