If elected, they will prove efficient urid
faithful ofliiea!#.
We would remind the nominees, how
ever, that a nomination hy tlm Demo
cratic party of this com.ty, is not tqniva
!rnf (iissime suppose) to on rhclion
ly the per pie. If any of our enndiduti a
arc laboring ttndt r m y snc'i delusion we
desire now in tl c outset of the campaign,
to disabuse their minds. We me to tri
niiph in tins contest, only nfler the most
persistent, constant and determined la
bor. Tlu county must ho thoroughly
canvassed; deep roo'rd prejudice most
l>c rt moved; nn antidote uinsthe admin
istered to counteract the effect* of ti e
poison, disseminated 1 y colored preach
er* and carpet ing adventurers, in mid
night mucuses; Irvlh must ho scattered
broadcast, aid error forced to vacate
its si.nren aey; eemmon-senso must lie
brought to bear to enlighten the minds
of the ignorant; mtirmera of discontent
must he smothered; and every white man
indnred to y in, leart and soul, in the
struggle of Constitutional Liberty, now
grappling with the hydra-headed mon
ster, Radicalism, in the throe* of tlisso.-
tution,hut still powelfnl fur evil.
Tbo nominees Ikon, must do their du
ly! If (l ev prove tbemsc’ves drones in
thi* campaign, they arc certainly tin
worthy the trust reposed in them by u
confiding people. They must not ex
pect others to fight the hatt’o, nnd they
ei joy the fruits es the, victory. They
n tist contribute) of time, energy nml
money. Fnt in the ariner of battle—
di (ermine on victory—and follow the
untiring, persevering, indomitable Urx-
Trn, and all will be well. Let the n ■ do
this, nnd wc are ready to ’yuarantee toe
res*; for wo have never yet entered,
heart and soul, into a local political con
test, and failed of victory.
The white peop’.o must Ve united.
The nominees nay not Le entirely sat
irfactory to all; men had their preform
res, nnd it is natural that some slo uld
l e disappointed. They must remember,
however, ti nt it was beyond the power
of the Convention, to reconcile n y
conflicting interest. Lit us nil, thee,
bury our disappointment, “accept the
situation,” and goto work with a una
nimity of sentiment that will carry ev

At 11 o’clock the Convention wasca'l
ed to oid'r, and on motion Judgo E It
Harden was dieted Chairman, and Capt

the chair, Judge Harden thanked the
largo and intelligent audience for the
honor conferred, and in a brief, eloquent
undgitirriiig address, referred to the oast
achievement* and unblemished history
of the Democratic party—and was hap
py to know that its cherished principles
till animate all levels of constitutional
libel ty, and the diy would soon dawn
wl eu Radicalism would be put to flight,
and the government bo restored to its
rightful custodians,--pristine purity,
greatne-s and honor. The Ju.lgu v.*u
ptculiarly happy in bis remarks, and
very earnest in conratling harmony in

On ii.o conclusion of tlit? address of

That wc most heartily appiove of these

on :
Resolved,That tlm Domocra'ic party

the Detnoei atie parly of the Union, bring
: ng into special prominence, as applica
ble to the present cxtraordinaiy condi
tion of the country, the unchangeable
declrinrs that this is a Union of the
States, and that the -indestructibility of
the States and of their rights, and ot
their equality with each other, is an in
dispensable part of our political system.
Resolve and, 'I li.it in the approuc ling Stall
election, the Democratic party invites
everybody to cooperate with them in a
zealous determination to change, as far
us the several elections to bo held can
do so, the present urnrpog and corrupt
udm uistratiori ol the State Government,
by placing in power men who are true
to ti e pi inciplca oi constitutional gov

On motion of Col. James Y. Jones, the
resolutions were unanirm -it sly adi pted.
It having been previously announced
and generally understood, that one ol
the duties devolving upon the Conven
tion, was the nomination of a candidate
for Senator for thus Senatorial District,
F. R. Fildes offered the following pre
amplo and resolution:
Whereas, The Democracy of Brooks

Akcnaiiiii s Speech.
! The Attorney General of the Unit and
.States, A. T. Aker man, delivered a rudi
-1 cul speech at Atlanta on the Ist inst.,
| which f.r blood thirsty vindictiveness
i and puerility, certainly standi withouta
! parallel. The Sun says the speech was
venomous as the bite of an asp. I(
breathed a fatal upas brent a that fell
like poison upon the sem ibfiitii of those
who heard it. It was an utterance of
the deep seated hatred which he feels to
wnrd’the Southern people, and the c ti
tempt in which lie holds Sonlheru char
acter. It wiyi wretched and vindictive
mouthing against the Sent >, her princi
ples Iter traditions, her history, her cv. ry
iliiug of which she boasts, and which
.Jink's a distinct! n between her type of
| manhood and the cold bio <dud Vcrmou-
I ter who spewed his venom in our ears
j Ilia speech was a iaging torrent of
j taunti, scor , cont'inniy, ridicule and
| iinVrcpres ntatiou, uncalled for, unlook
j ed for and unnecessary, etc it for the fur
tin ranee of the dangerous and revolii-

The Caure of the War.
Tire war in Europe now absorbs the
public mind, and. therefore the following
from the Berlin correspondence of the
Boston Advertiser, in reference to the
cause us the war, will be road with inter
est. It is really Bismarck’s war, as the
following dem n-trates:
When the history , f this wai between
France and Prussia shall be written, il
wi 1 appear that the idea hud loug been
a famil'inr one to both parties. This is
truly Bismarck’s war. The good old Kii g
tried every way to avert it. lie gave
Bi-nedetti audience anywhere and at any
time; introduced the subject of Leopold's
non acceptance of the t-'panisli crown

promenade at Ems, ami it would seem
not as tl.i- King of Prussia, but as tin
head of Iloln nz illern house, was willing
to make any concession w ;cli the IV. licit
