The iidventnrcr, would-bo Con preen man, end Radical scribbler, wliocoodt.cie (bo Blackguard department of the Ha vannab Morning Dews, in ilio issue of (bat journal of tbe 15th, completely dud pen the issue between himself and the Baxs'Kß, gives additional evidence ofhia low instincts, and has not one word to say in reply to the important query propounded in our last. Jo response to onr assertion, “that we persistently opjsjs/d the ratification of the Constitution, and advocated tho elec tion of tho Democratic nominees for Governor and Congress,” in 1868, the whiskey-guzzling politician and pro fessional gambler, says that “no better illustration of the potent imbecility 61 the Bax.ver could be given. It opposed the Constitution, and tho Constitution was adopted. It advocated the candi dates, and tho candidates were defeated.’ If tills character of log’c “illustrates the potent imbecility of tbo Banner,” it also illustrates the "potent imbecility” of the Savannah Morning News and every oilier Democratic Journal in the Stato of Geor gia; for they all opposed the Constitu tion which was ratified, and tavored the election of tho Democratic nominees, many of whom were defeated. We can tell Eulph, however, that it was not the "imbecility" of the Democratic press of (lie State, that caused the defeat of cer tain nominees; it was for the “potent” rearon, that in one instance, wo were compelled to advocate the cause of a Radical, in the disguise oi a Democrat— n roan devoid of moral and political char acter—a carpet bag adventurer—one who, soen after tho surrender of the Southern armies, 'illustrated’ his peculiar characteristics and fitness for office (ala beast Butler), rs a "Colton Picker" at various points in Southern Georgia. No wonder tho Democracy were signally de featrd, when they attempted to rido so contemptible an ass/ As to tho vile personal flings directed at the Editor of the Banner, “Ralph” assured they arc as harmless as the bray ing of an ass—and certainly less deserv ing of notice; and wo wilt feel under ob ligations to him, ifhe will continuo to blackguard tbo Banner and its editor, through tho columns of the Morning New*, for the next thirty days—as we thus receive gratuitous advertising from a Savannah daily, whoso editor labors under (be delusion that it is honorable to prostitute, its columns fur the vindication of n cotemporary. But,, Monsieur "Ralph,” wc do not in tend you shall dodge us so easily. ITow about that query of ours? Wo asked you last week, that if you did not distinctly state, after meeting with defeat as a Demo cratic nominee, in 1808, that if you had exercised your own judgment, in contra distinction to t hat of vonr father’s, you ux>\dd have joined the Radical party, and been rewarded with a seat in Congrsss? — This is the question wo desire answere 1. Yon have dodged it. In your next de ny it if you dare, and we will sh ip away the mask—give your true name to the public—and produce tho evidence of your double dealing ami perfidy. And then wo shall have further queries for your consideration. The Fnll~"Ehctlmi AVtuTsiiul I be sent'to Congress. Now that the election question has been definitely settled, and tho voice es the people is to ho heard at tho ballot bnx on the Bth day ot November, as pro vided for in the Constitution, it is impor tant that the Democracy should take a survey of tho field, and ascertain who a mong the many aspirants for position, arc the best qualified and most deserving to receive tho Ruff rage of their fellow tntkcns. Wc are to select anew Legis laturcandal! County officers, with tho exception of Ordinary— tho term of the present incumbents in that office not ex piring until 1812. These are all impor tant positions, and the Democracy should be very careful in the selection of can didates, and the manner in which they arc nominated. There is, however, a still more impor tant duty devolving upon the Detmicrncv than tho selection of momliers of the Legislature and County officials. Wc are also called upon in November to elect tuv Representatives to Congress from each Congressional district: one to fill the unexpired term of the existing Congress, and the regular Representa tive for the term commencing on the 4 1 ti day of March next. The Democratic Congressional Exec utive Committee, a few weeks ago issu er) an address to the Democracy of the nation, and among other matters advis ed tire Democracy in the late seceding States to elect no man a Represent tativc to Congress who cannot take the “iron-clad" oath. Wo have very great respect for the oplubiDS and advice of the distinguished gentlemen composing said Committee, hut nevertheless, do most seriously protest to the adaption of the advice in reference to the qualities tion of Southern Representatives. The very fact of a man’s ability to subscribe to the “test oath,” is, to us, a very seri ous objection; for all such characters—or rather ninety-nine of every ’hundred— are more adventurers who, have sought the Sooth in the day of lo t misfortune, Jbr the purpose of fi-aliig tutu i fu- i<. position upon the wave of Northern in dignation, that disfranchised tho native statesmen of the South. Sti :b me i al most invariably, hold Unit political opinion* subservient to ehrcurosiaucee, as they arc presented. They are devoid of honor, and no more fit to tie the Representatives of a high toned, brave i and chivalioiis people, than Butler, the ! 1 beast, is to associate with gotitlcn.en ] 1 Again, such men t Hint, necessarily, as ! they are strangers, lie ignorant of tin wants desires and necessities of the peo ple, and consequently could nut repre sent them These remarks arebtssd upon the sup position, that those’who seek Congres sional positi n, and can subscribe to the "iron-clad” oath, are men who have sought the South as adventurers ; for we take it for granted, that no man who was a citizen of Georgia during the war, can accept of the "tc.it oath” wituout committing perjury. If Georgia, therefore, is to have true Representatives in tho councils of the nation, wc contend that they should he of ttie manor boro. They may not lie admitted to scats, but we would decided lv p-.efer that Georgia remain, forever without representation, than gratify the ambition of adventurers, who followed in tho wake of devastating aimios,— domiciled thcmsclvei in onr midst, and now seek exaltation above tho native in tellect. We therefore spurn tho advice of tho Northern Democratic Congress men, as inimicaljto the interest and hon or of Southern men. Those who can subscribe to the "test oah ’ wore our cremies in the day of troubl and adver sity; and wo can have no confidence in their protestations of friendship in the day of pi ace and prosperity. They were enemies in war—in peace aro p e tended friends. These remarks may be considered pro mature; but it is deemed important that the sentiment of tho Democracy in this portion of the First Congressional Dis trict should ho proclaimed in time. For Congress, we shall, therefore, demand that the Democracy place in nomination, gentlemen of conceded integrity, unim - peachable honor, sterling ability, men conversant with the wants of the people, true representatives of the sentiments ol the masses, and they who are of South ern birth and education —or who aligned themselves iu interest with us before and during the war. Tlie Question Settled—The Consti tution Yinnltaiini. The action of the Georgia House of Representatives on the 12lh inst., in re fusing to override a plan provision of the Constitution—by non-concurrence in the prolongation resolutions which had passed the Senate —lias forestalled the damnable schemes of the B!ocgett-Bul lock party, and allayed the murmurs of discontent, which threatened to culmi - nate in civil war and bloodshed. And it is rcallv gratifying to all honorable men to know that a majority of the mem hers of the House could not bo swerved from the path of rectitude and honor, by bribery, threats, or the magic influence of continued official power. Immediately after the convening of the House on Thursday, the 12th, it stripped for the fight, by the nil-q lion of a motion directing the door keeper to keep all unauthorized persons iff the floor. The special order, the Senate resolution proposing the repeal of all laws in relation to elections, in order to prevent an election next November, was then taken tip, and the House was ad dressed thereupon by Messrs. Simulate, Turner, Caldwell, Harper of Terrell, and O’Neal of Lowndes, who called the pre vious question upon concluding his re marks. A qnestiou of order was raised by Mr. Scott and overruled by the speaker, whose decision on the appeal was sustained. The main question on tl.c adoption ol the resolutions was then put end they were lost by tbe following vote: Yeas —Messrs.

Tire Knropeati News- No been fi-ngtit on French territory np to the evening of the 14tli inst ; and Napoh on was evidently not ; prepared to renew tho eonfl ct, as be j had withdrawn fr -in Nancy and Metz- It is possible tl.c French army may avoid battle until under tho shadow of the fortifier’ion of Far s. in Midi event, it appears to us, tl.c I’liissian army could be annihilated. Retreats, howev er, arc demoralizing to the French sol diers, and might fan tiio flame if icvo u lion among the impulsive masses. Un der tlie circumstances the French Em- peror occupies a very pncarious posi tion. defeat to his armies means a down tail to tho Empire and flight of tin: ru ling dynasty If, however, the worst, com, e, as the Macon Tel-graph very *tr dy deal, re , he has one card i ■ h:s hard, the p’aying of which, “tin ugh it would not save him, might ruin his ad versary. It is the card of Red Rcptib lic.niism, which would wake a demon more teriiblc even th in needle gn u or mitraillt-urs. If Paris is in imminent danger, let him tarn lo'ise the Red Re publicans of France and a flame is kin dled which will lick up like dry straw the thrones of Europe. There is not a monarchy in Europe that would not fi ol the heat of this terrible fire. It lias smouldered many years, hut the coils still glow and only need the p itci t breath of such leaders as Garibaldi, Rochefort, Victor Hugo ana others to be kind e 1 into a pc welling devouring fl one. Red Republicanism is stronger to day in Europe th- nit was in 1848, though seemingly just the reverse. In Eng land and Ireland it has made rapid strides, and would g ve to tho grand up rising on tho Continent most powerful assistance. The King of Prussia doubtless dreams of Paris us his headquarters day and night. Woit’d it not be one if tin most startling episodes in history sh mill that prize lie won at tho < x >ensc of the popular revolution whoso ending might find him without a throne or a foot of earth he could c.ili his own?” The fortifications around Paris arc immense, and still increasing. T. e railroads approaching tho city have been cut, and drawbridges will be pla ced over the cuts to allow tho approach of friendly trains The Corps Legisla tit rival each other, says the Paris Jour nal Official, in eagerness to push to the last limit of vigor the spirit of devotion to France. The new ministry finds that it has the active and loyal co-op eration of tho Country’s representatives. The session the lOlii of August will distinguish that day as among the most noble in our parliamentary anna’s. Never has the nation acted mid r an inspiration of sentiment more elevated. This attitude of the Chambers is li >th encouragement and recompcnce, for the soldiers feel that the whole nation is behind them, and that the hour ap proaches when the enemy will be chased from the land Since tho foregoing was placed in type, we have tlie following additional news from Europe: Tlie following important dispatch to the Empress Eng. nio has been made public: Loungcvillc, Aug. 15, P.

Com ing as these utterances do front a paper that was formetiy ono of tho bitterest op j ponenls of the Democratic party to be found anywhere, they deserve soccial consideration: There seems to he a disposition, or sumo false idea of policy, on the p lit f ttie opponents of lb pablicanism, to qtiib hie at na • es, and to make persistent ef forts to evade the correct designation of of * Democrat.” These men are old line Whigs, some of them, while others va u ly iiiunrine that the term ‘Conservative" will attract persons whodislike the term “D< mocrat” to the opposition against the Radicals and Republicans. As an hnmbte individual we think, under all circumstances, “Conservative" is a de gree of polllica' demoralizati m, catering to tie spiel us reasoning of Republican sentiment. For onr part wo despise the term; it smacks of moral cowardice ; it looks hs if one w nld if be could, aid could if he would; as it lie w.m!d like to he on the people’s side to be respecta ble, and would like to be a Ra Real f>r the sake of a little office an | political power.
