We notice an article in Swazy’s
Union in regard to Judge Greene and
ourselves. Owing to our arrival just
as the paper goes to press, we are
compelled to postpone a few remarks
to the Judge’s right bower for our
next issue.
Rost on Jubilee.
This is one of the most gigantic hum
bugs of the day, gotten up for the
purpose of making money. These
Bostonians are sharp at anything on
that line. Tens of thousands of per
sons from every section of the nation
are visiting Boston at a cost of S4OO
to $.500 per day, will leave a vast
sum cf money there.
Ladies to the Rescue.
“The other night a young man
propounded the usual question to the
idol of his heart. She laid her soft
white hand in his, put her head upon
his manly shoulder, hove a sweet sigh
of resignation, and in dulcet accents,
that sounded like sweet music upon
the waters whispered, ‘yes; anything
to beat Grant.’ ” —Macon Daily En
terprise.
It is our opinion that Grant had as
• well abandon all idea of re-election,
for he will certainly not be able to
cope with this new element of strength
that is to be brought to bear against
him. We believe this Macon girl
has set the keynote that is to electri
fy the community, and that it will
sweep over the country like a hurri
cane and bear down all before it.
This new policy will kindle an enthu
siasm that will infuse new life into
the nation, and we may expect a
wonderful “shaking of the dry bones
of the valley.” T his will not be the
first time that a Republic has been
saved by women. It will be remem
bered that the wife and mother of
Coriolanus saved the Republic of
Rome when it had been abandoned by
the men, or rather they had given up
in wild dispair. Grant overcome the
armies of Gen. Lee, but he will be
put to a disgraceful flight under this
new flank movement inaugurated by
the ladies. Tlireo times three cheers
for this Macon girl ! We have great
confidence in the intuitive knowledge
of women. It is more to be relied
upon than men’s /eason. We have
been absolutely confounded in regard
to the proper course to persue in the
present confused and novel situation
or public affairs, but we think we see
the light breaking in from the east
that is to dispel all our fears. This
new combination of power must send
Gen. Grant to the place “where the
wmodbine twineth.”
“Ktcriml Vigilance flic Price of Liberty.”
This is the language of the immor
tal Jackson, the great expounder of
constitutional law, as it existed in
this government. The same principle
applies to every other blessing in life.
Prosperity inherited soon depreciates
in value unless a vigilant eye is kept
upon it, virtue is soon lost unless an
individual keeps a vigilant watch over
his conduct. Men and nations drift
unconsciously, as it were, from a state
of purity to a state of corruption.—
Suppose a man, during the adminis
tration of Millard Filmore, had said to
the rulers of this nation, that in less
than twenty years this boasted Re
public will be destroyed, and scarcely
one feature of this model superstruct
ure, erected by the fathers, will be
left. Suppose he had said to them
that, in less than twenty years the
citizens of this republic will be
thrown into prisons and denied the
right of trial by the civil courts ; that
men would be torn from their homes
and families and incarcerated in pris
on®, there to remain until death shall
end their existence. Would not those
rulers have answered like Hazael,
and said : “Art thy servant a dog
that he should do these things ?”
Yet all these things have come to
pass. This accounts for the strange
spectacle presented to view in the
nation at this time —of the people
leading their former leaders. The
masses are ahead of their former
leaders, and why ? It is because
they jiave been misled and the people
have lost confidence in their wisdom
or patriotism to lead. Mr. A. 11.
Stephens in his ii vol. p. 271. of “The
War Between The States,” in speak
ing of the causes that led to the
election of Lincoln, says : “I consid
ered it as nothing but the result of
the unfortunate rupture of the Dem
ocratic party at Chaileston, in i860.”
If this is true, how great was the
blunder in placing two candidates
before the public, as it led to the
election of Lincoln, and tin a conse -
quence of which election, a bloody
civil war followed, ending in the dis
truction of one-half the property of
the South, and the loss of one million
of American citizens to the nation.
Great was that blunder and great and
terrible was the consequences that
followed.
Again, in 1868 the Democratic
party assembled in New York and
nominated Seymour and Blair for
President and Vice-President. Mr.
B. 11. Hill tells us that “Blair jumped
entirely over the platform, and that
Seymour never got on it. With can
didates occupying such a position, in
regard to the platform on which they
had been nominated, nothing could
be more natural than that such a
ticket should fail. It did fail, and its
failure led to the election of Grant,
in whose administration nearly every
feature of a republican form of gov
ernment has been destroyed. We do
not question the honesty of the men
who acted their part in these con*
Ventions, but it does show that men
are liable to be blinded by their prej
udices and led into error. The result
of these errors have fallen severely
on the people ; they feel it keenly,
and hence it is, that they mistrust
their leaders and have taken the
matter in their own hands and are
running their own schedule, and the
former leaders are falling into the
ranks. This is one of the most
hopeful features of the times. We
have great faith in the natural love of
justice in the hearts of the masses.
When they err it is usually because
they are led astray by corrupt dem
agogues. It is fair to suppose that
at least two-thirds of the people of
this nation, North, South, East and
West are in favor of returning to a
constitutional administration of the
laws of the government. They are
greatly in earnest about thin matter,
and nothing but the tricks and blun
ders of the politicians of the country
can defeat this object. The people
wish reform, and the men who throw
obsticles in the way of accomplishing
this reform will be killed, politically,
so dead that they will have no res
urcction.
By reference to the proceedings of
the State Democratic meeting, held
in Atlanta on the 26th inst., we find
the names of Messrs J. I. Hall, T. S.
Sharman, J. R. Hart, J. W. Snelson,
Louis Hamburger and A. J. Williams,
as delegates from this county.
The Convention met at the Capitol
at the appointed hour, when lion. A.
R. Lamar, of Muscogee, was called
to the Chair. The following resolu
tions were adopted:
Resolved. That the Democratic party of
Georgia stand upon the principles of the
Democratic party of the Union, bringing
into a special prominence, as applicable to
the present extraordinary condition ot the
counti'y the unchangeable doctrine that this
is a uuion of States, and that the inde
structibility of the States, of their rights,
and of their equality with each other is an
indispensable part of our political system.
Resolved , That in the approaching elec
tion the Democratic Party invites everybody
to co-operate with them in a zealous deter
mination to change the present usurping
aud corrupt administration, by placing in
power men who are true to the principles
of constitutional government, and to a faith
ful and economical admin strafion of public
affairs.
Resolved, That, in our opinion, the dele
gates to the Baltimore Convention should go
untrarruneled by instructions, and should
act with all the lights before them, as they
deem best for the good of the party and for
the welfare of the country.
Resolved, That the Convention will ap
point twenty two delegates, with alternates,
to represent this State in the Baltimore
Convention, to assemble on the 9th July,
and that we recommend that the 6aid dele
gates be selected as jollows : The delegates
from each Congressional District shall se«.
lect two delegatee, with alternates and the
Chairman of the Convention shall appoint
a committee of three from each Congres
sional Dnriet, who shall suggest the names
of eight delegatee, with alternates, for the
State at large.
Below we give the delegates to the
Baltimore Convention :
Gen. Henry L. Benning, of Musco
gee; Gen. A. R. Wright, of Richmond;
Col. Thos. Hardeman, of Bibb ; Hon.
Julian Hartridge, of Chatham ; Gen.
A. H. Colquitt, of DeKalb; Col. C.
T. Goode, of Sumter ; Gen. John B.
Gordon, of Dekalb ; Col. I. WT Avery,
of Fulton.
Congress.
Uongress has adjourned after & day
that will not add much credit to the
history of our country. On Monday
the 10th inst., a scene occurrei among
the debaters seldom witnessed in any
Senatorial Hall. On that day all the
members seemed cross and came pre
pared to deal out sarcasm to their
colleagues-.
Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania, set
the ball in motion by attempting to
set himself right before the country
on the Ku-Klux question. In his
explanation he spoke as if by the
authority of the Republican party ;
this called forth remarks from his
colleagues. In the wrangle the thing
became a party measure, and the
very men that at first opposed Mr.
Kelly were compelled to take sides
with him. The most prominent among
them was John A. Bingham, of Ohio,
who, in defending the Ku - Klux
measure, (and replying to Mr. Brooks
of N. Y., who intimated that the
act was unconstitutional, &c.,) said
that there was nothing in the Senate
amendment that was not already on
the statute books, and he declared
that the resistance to it on the pre
tense of unconstitutionality was the
inauguration in this hall, of a treason
as disreputable, as dishonorable, as
unconstitutional and as damning as
that treason inaugurated twelve years
ago by the bayonet.
This riled up the Democratic poro
tion of the House, and Mr. Morgan,
of Ohio, jumped upon his feet and
shouted at the top of his voice : “I
brand the statement as a lie.” This
made confusion worse confounded,
and the Republican side of the House
shouted order! order ! while the
speaker pounded on his table with
his gavel. Mr. Bingham was not
conquered, but could be heard above
the noise shouting that he was ready
to make his statement good before
the tribunal of history, and before
the great tribunal of the American
people, that the proposition pretend
ed to be set up here, of the right of
the minority to stay indefinitely the
right of the majority to legistate was
as deceitful as—here Mr. Morgan re
covered his breath, and shouted at
the top of his voice drowning Mr.
Bingham’s remarks, that it was a
disgraceful lie, and no man should
make such an assertion upon his col
leagues. At this point no person
could hear what was said, except
“order 1 order" from all parts of the
House. The speaker by the use of
the gavel partially restored order,
when Mr. Bingham continued his
sentence —and as treasonable as that
other pretext. This started Mr. Mor
gan again, who shouted tiiat it was a
shameful calumny and—here the dis
order became so great that the fall
of the gavel could not be heard.—
After quiet was restored, some of the
members suggested that Mr. Morgan
be arrested. The speaker at this
suggestion warned the gentleman that
he would enforce the order if he per
sisted in going on. This brought the
refractory member to his senses, and
there was a pause in the proceedings.
After some little delay, a decision
w’as given by the speaker in regard
to the language used by the gentle
mans in the case of Mr. Birgharn.—
He decided that his remarks tran
scended the legitimate bounds of de
bate, and were not altogether in order*
in regard to Mr. Morgan he decided
that he was entirely out of order,
this closed the scene It is to be
hoped that it will never be re-enacted
again, the country never U.-gets such
conduct in her servant^.
Mr. Editor :—l have just returned
from a trip through Monroe, Craw
ford and Bibb counties and I find the
farming interest in all three of these
counties twenty per cent, worse than
you would probably imagine. The
recent rains may probably revive the
corn some, but you may rely upon
this fact: not one-fourth of a corn
crop will be made. The oats are al
most worthless. The wheat is good
and pure, but the yield is awfully
poor. Many cotton fields not up,
some just coming up. So you and
your readers may imagine the prospect
for the King Staple in that section.
People should, if ever they intend,
to Degin to economise. Everything
looks gloomy. We trust for better
things, but the chances are bad.
Very respectfully,
FLINT.

The virtual surrender by the Democrat c

polities of half the bygone intensity. How
ever parties may henceforth rise or fall, it
is elenr that the fundamental principles
which have hitherto honorably distinguish
ed the Republicans are henceforth to he re
garded as practically accepted by the whole
i country. The right of every man to his
I own limbs and sinews—the equality of all
| citizens before the law —the inability of a
| State to enslave any portion of its people
the duty of the Union to guarauteo to every
citizen the full enjoyment of his liberty un
til -he iorleirs it by crime—such are the
broad and firm foundationftof our Nation .1
edifice 5 and palsied be the hand which
shall seek to display them ! Though not
yet twenty years old, the Republican party
has completed the noble fabric of Emanci
pation, and in iy fairly invoke thereon the
sternest judgment of Man and the benig
nant smile of God.
Henceforth, the mission of our Republic
ia one of Peaceful Progress. To protect
the weak and the humble from violence and
oppression— to extend the boundaries and
diffuse the blessings of Civilization —to
stimulate Ingenuity to the production of
new inventions fur economizing Labor and
thus enlarging Production—to draw nearer
to each other the producers of Food and
Fabrics, of Grains and of, Metals, and thus
enhance the gains of Industry by reducing
the cost of transportation arid exchanges
between firmers aod artisans—such is the
iuspiring task to which this Nation now ad
dresses itself, and by which it would fain
contribute to the progress, enlightenment
and happiness of our race. To this great
and good work, Tits Tribute contributed
its zealous, persistent efforts.
Agriculture will continue to be mofre
especially elucidated in its VVeekley and

ablest and most successful tillers of tlie soil
will steadily contribute. No farmer who
tselle S3OO worth of produce per annum can
afford to do tfcitout our Market Reports* or
others equally lucid and comprehensive.—
If he should read nothing else hut what re

believe that no farmer who can read at all
can afford to do without such a journal as

equally valuable to those engaged in other
