WHO TO VOTE FOR.
All agree that If wt arc h> liftve a conven
tion that we should have good and true nun
to represent us in the convention, but we
Apprehend that there is a wide diflVreree in
the opinions of different men as to what it
w ill take to constitute a crood man in this
matter. A* a matter of course, many think
fliat the men who will he most likely to
work In the convention upon a line of policy
that will subserve their individual interests
is the best man.
Wealthy men think a wealthy man would
suit them best; poor men think a poor man
would look more to their interest, and so on
through all grades, classes, trades and pro
fessions. it is natural tor men to be selfish;
rob them of tins quality and you destroy
tlie individuality of mankind. Therefore it
Ts no wonder that men differ as to who
is the right men. lint as all cannot he the
especial favorites of government it behooves
us to set* to it th,.t till are equally and fairly
represented*. If men govern themselves
iliey must think for themselves: if the}'
don't those whir think for them will govern
them.
Then let us think for a moment what
kirtd of men we, the people of Upson and of
Georgia do want, for this work.
1. Honest men, men who would not take
advantage of the ignorance of Ins constitu
ency and bring upon them obnoxious meas
ures, while seeming to be working lbr their
benefit.
2. Competent men; men who havfc stud
ied the principles of free government in
comparison with other firms of govern
ment and especially the miserable form un
der which we have been groaning since
the war; who arc acquainted with the rules
of law making assemblies, and the tricks of
Ihe sharpers Who always infest those
places, W ho arc accustomed to sustaining by
argument if necessary any go*>d measure
that may come up; and firmness enough io
stick to honest convictions in spite of all
the powers of political eloquence.
3. (Jld men; men whose gray lmirs and
venerable appearance, will eutoice respect
for their acts and opinions; whose' years
have brouglit them knowledge tempered by
wisdom.
4. Prudent men; men who will consider
well all the points bearing on any measure,
directly or indirectly who will always use
their earnest endeavors to conciliate the en
emies of the just and wise measures; who
will not allow themselves to be decoyed
from their posts of duty for a moment; for
“when men slept the enemy came and sow
ed tares.”
5. Men of purely democratic principles;
who will guard with jealous cares all the
avenues to the temple of liberty thereby
barring the approach of those who would
cast the mantle of tyranny over the shoul
ders of its godess, thus torturing her into a
demon of oppression; who will guard equal
ly the interests of the pauper and the mil
lionaire; for God made them both, and all
they both possess, and all know that fortune
can reverse their positions within Hie w ink
ling ot an eye; who will have due respect to
intelligence and morality where ever found,
for w ithout a full representation of these
qualities in the fundamental laws of a gov-’
eminent that government soc.n becomes op
pressive and therefore undesirable.
(. Representative men. Those who suf
fer when calamity overtakes the people; for
when a man prospers where all his neigh
bors suffer, it is a suspicious circumstance at
least, and shows a want of sympathy for his
neighbors’ conditionand it lie has op
pressed the poor by exacting usury, for as
sistance rendered, spurn his advances as you
would those of an adder, for the curse of
God rests on him. and you should beware
of trusting yenfr affairs in the hands of on’e
who is under His curse. If lie has paid
voluntary usitry,- fo enable him to extort
involuntary compound usury lrora others,
and then gone liehind the villainous laws
that were thrust upon U3 in ’(>B to protect
himself from his creditors, lie should be
avoided as you would avoid a leper. It lie
would reverse those laws to the other ex
treme he should likewise be shunned, for
all extremists are the same in principle—
they will blight like an east wind every
thing they touch.
7. Patriotic men; men who do not make
all things else subordinate to money getlirg;
who like Jefferson are willing to devote
their servbes to their country’s good with
out tear, or the hope of teward, even it like
him, the}’ die poor. Men who are willing to
sutler some incorwemenee to relieve a tax
burdened people, a people w‘ho have been
lor seventeen years s .veating their lites out
at every pore to sustain a set of reeking,
savage villains, who have polluted and dis
graced the halls ot our fathers, seizing with
fiendish avidity everything in reach of them
ot sufficient value for a set ot rogues to steal.
AYe need to put men in their places who
will counteract this spirit of wholesale rob
bery, plunder and usurpation.
8. Moral men; men who after enacting
stringent laws for the punishment- ot im
morality will not commit the most outrage
ous act of immoiality under cover oi their
tame.
9. Sober men. who know that Grid' gave
them reason with which to subdue their
passions and prejudices, and ignore petty
grievances in the performance of their du
ties to their state; who are not afraid to over
ride party lines and pirty spirit in so grave
a matter as that of making anew constitu
tion, thus standing 1 above those petty mo
tives that so entirely disqualify so many
men tor such grr,7e duties.-
10. Christian men, who never lose sight
oi the fact that all things done on earth
among men should be done with an eve to
glory of God, Who prospers nations only so
long as they obey his laws; not men
who wear a clean outside and are at heart a
lump ot gangrene; who pray from the house
tops, and are at heart infidels, having no
further use for God than to exchange Him
for gold and silver-, or base ambition, when
opportunity shall offe-; men who do not
parade their great charity before the public
eye and then grind the widow- and orphan
iii secret that they may give other alms in
public places and boast of their munificence,
but who secretly hunt up these objects of
pity and bestow their alms and like Christ
Sid them.go in peace and hold their tongues.
M ith men possessing the above virtues in
Convention assembled w e need give no ex
pression to a with, for they will sundv con
sider our every necessity, and earnestly
contend for our every right as Ireeincn and
Georgians.; In making our selections we
should not lie content to leave nuf a single
one of the above hained qualities, for not
one can be dispensed with, without detract
ing from thorough manhood; and w ithout a
full delegation of superior men in the con
templated convention the cnances are
against our being benefitted by their labors.
Nominate your best men and w hen the
final ballot comes you can safely w rite
“convention” on your ticket; It the fraud
and corruption ticket wins the race in the
nomination, then write “no convention” on
your ballot in letters ot fire.
Communicated. J
Mn. Editor: —Madison, Fla., March 21,
In a former communication, f told you that
I would tell you more of our trip to the land
of flow ers, and I w ill now endeavor to re- ;
deem my promise.
We entered Florida on the Ninth line of
Madison county, and, if your readers will he
at the Double of consulting their maps of
that state they may be able to follow us in
our rumblings through the country.
Madison county, as you will see by refer- j
ring to the map, occupies a middle position j
of Florida, from cast tc west, but on the j
north line joining Thoums and Brcoks coun
ties in Georgia.
UpoD entering the count}', \vc find the
lands of the same fertile character as those
of Brooks, with a growth of pine, with some
oak and hickory. The first night we camp -
ed by a thrifty farmers place who was rais
ed in the State of New Y’ork, but had been
living in Florida thirty years. He and his
boys did their own work on the little farm,
and if was well done. " He had more corn
in bis crib than we l.afi seen, probably, for
years on so small a farm. He also had 123
bales ot cotton piled about under sheds and
in the out houses around his place, and
seemed to have no use tor them, more than
to look at, and feel independent. L inds
through this county a>e worth from two to
ten dollars per acre, according to location
and improvements. The health is much
the same as it is in South Georgia. Chills
a*;d fever, and billions level’s prevail more
or less in all of north and middle Florida,
but these diseases yield more readily to
treatment tlieie than they do in a more
northerly latitude. The inhabitants have,
as a general thing, n fresh,- healthy appear
ance.
Some ciglit often miles before we reach
ed Madison Court-house, we' passed over
some low pine lands with many streams and
ponds. Some of the ponds are perpetual
and abound with fish. But, upon reaching
the town we find the land more elevated,
presenting a very pretty locality, and a!
though it is situated upon the line of the
Jacksonville and Pensacola R. R., it show's
but little evidence of enterprise, In fact, the
opposite obtains, and it has a look of decline.
One note ot interest I Should not fail io no
tice here, and it is this. In alj of South
Georgia, to Within 20 miles of the Florida
line; we notice that storms and liuricanes
aie common, frequently sweeping away the
fences and timbers, and all tilings in tlicir
track. But, in all our travels in the State
of Florida, we did not see one of iheir tracks,
and it is a notorious fact while there are
frequent stiff gales in Florida it is free from
tornadoes. There is, also, less signs of
lightning through the forest iliun any tim
bered country that we had seen. A tree
; struck by lightning is comparatively tin
-1 c >mmon.
The farm products of north and middle
Florida are the same that are grown in
middle Georam, whei t excepted, which is
not grown there, and the yield is about the
same per aefe. There is of course a greater
area of sugarcane and potatoes gtown there
than with us, and these two last do better
than they do farther north. In this section
we saw the first orange trees bearing fruit
that we had seen, btft they were only around
the yards for ornament than for profit, and
were mostly of the sour and bitter sweet
varieties, which arc hardier than the sweet
kind. The freezes of the p.st severe winter
had badly injured the trees, killing some ot
them to the ground.
From Madison we still continued our
course S. L., towards Mosley’s Ferry on the
Suwannee rivet, called on the maps Char e’s
Ferry.
The lands for several miles are good, and
we saw some fine gardens of vegetables on
the road; but soon we reached a level sand
country, poor, and thinly inhabited, cover
ed with pine forest. Here we saw the first
deer since leaving home. It ran across tin
road before us and we had a line view of its
graceful bou.idings through the (.''[ten pine
wood. A\ e camped two miles short of that
ferry.
March 22nd, Upon reaching the river we
found it te be a beautiful, navigable Stream,
abounding in fish. W? saw many ones
floating about in the Viator. The ferryman
had plenty ready caught a;Vd kindly gave
us a nice mess,- Crossing the river into
Suwiunee county, we passed through the
southern part of the county. Here we saw
some beautiful pine lands and were inform
ed that there were some fine hammock lands
on the river The first stop wc made was
et a Mr. Irvins, a farmer and country mer
chant. lie showed us around his yard to
look at some fruit trees, but they were dam
aged by the frost. We went then to his
sugar mill and kettles, and into his sugar
house to see his sugar and syrup He is al
so giving the improvement of stock some
attraction, and has some fine cattle and
hogs. Our road passed down the river for
several miles, and the cutting and rafting
of timber is the chief employment of the
settlers. We Hum HI note that there are no
steamboats running up tho river now as
there is no freight for them to transport.
Our road and the rivet- soon diverged and
we traveled over an elevated lolling coun
try, sandy arid ixior with very lew settlers.
By night we reached one of the natural cu
riosities of Florida, the Ichatuchnee Spring,
and camped in a few steps of the w ater.
This is the prettiest natural spring that I
have ever seen. It rises in a very poor
pine country from a ledge oflime rock and
is cyratal clear, forming a considerable little
river as its waters pass away from the
spring. The water is drinkable, but quite
iiiney An abundance of fish are to be seen
in the clear waters of the river and spring.
March 23rd, From this point our course
turned a little more south through the south
west corner of Columbia eonnty, through
a poor sandy, rather Hilly country, though
we passed some very respectable places dur-
ing the forenoon. We crossed the Santa
Fee River upon w hat is styled the natural
biidgc. This is a Considerable tittle rivxr,
but we did not see it, as !l sinks into the
ground a mile above the road, and conics
up again about two miles below. This Sec ;
tion is rather noted for its subteranean
streams and caverns. There are large ;
quantities of shell lime rocks, m'tchof w hich !
w ill burn into go<*d lime.
After crossing the river, or rather the
place it should be, We were in Alachua j
county and upon its northern border. The 1
lands are still Lilly, and here we passed !
over some of the finest oak and hickory
lands to look at that we had seen for many
a day. The red and black oaks on these
lands are tall and thrifty, and, as the long
moss hangs ficm them they give to the
lands upon which they grow a look of un
surpassed fertility, and to add to this w hile
there is not much under brush there a e
many large grape vines scattered through the
woods, some of which are five or six inches
in diameter But this is not rich land, up
on examination the soil is pure white sand
with some vegetable mould mixed in it.
For a few years after being put into cultiva
tion, it is free and productive, but is soon
exhausted and .lifeless. Traveling ten or
twelve miles through lands of this character
we came to the old town of Newnansville
the former county seat ot Alachua county,
but the court -house is now at Gainsville, on
tlie Florida 11. R. In the vicinity of Ncw
nansvillc there are some fine farming land?,
both hammock and pine lands. The town
of course shares the same late of all county
scats from which the court house has been
removed and is in a sad state of decay It
is on the line of the National Telegraph
through the stale, and has a Telegraph
office, one or two nice residences, one small
store, and lots of lazy looking negroes.
The first stop that om party made to look
at lands was three mile 8. E. of Newnans
ville of the place of Mr. Dell. Here we
saw some fine hammock and pine lands,
that had been in cultivation twenty-five
years that were still rich. Here and though
all of north and middle Florida there grows
in the farms a weed coming up after the
crops have been laid by, and growing very
luxuiiantly known as the IJegger Weed.
I suppose it is a species ot the begger lice
; weed of the Southern States.
This Begger Weed produces an abundant
crop of seed upon which horses, cattle, and
hogs get fat in the fall; the stalks then fall
down t.nd decay upon the land, making it
richer every year that it is in cultivation.
Mat’ih 24th, From Newnansville to Gains
ville we saw a few goofl farmers but most
of the lands are very poor. We reached
Gainsyille about noon, got some letters from
home, wrote rcpitas Ac. Gainsville is on
the Florida Central R. K., built upon an
elevated sand ridge, has about two thousand
inhabitants, and is the largest and most
thriving place on the road from Fenmadina
to Cedar Iveys, It lias some fine hotels and
business houses, but all built of wood It
is crowded all winter with northern visi
tors, and when we were there it was as’full
of life as a bee hive.
From here, our road Was south towards
Mieannopv, near Orange Lake. Five miles
travel brought us to Payne’s Pra-ie, which
is about fifteen mile’'long, and lie or six
miles wide with a good sized creek running
through it, and sinking into the ground at
ihe south end of the prune. But some
years ago the cavity through which the
water made its decent into the ground be
came partly stopped and the water is now
backed upon the prarie, covering thousands
of acres from two to ten feet in Water.
The water is swarming with fi.di, with im
mence quantities of wild ducks, cranes,
Ac., and is the continual resort of ill 1 : pleas
ure seekers at Gainsville.
The lands not covered with wafer are
said to be very rich, but are mostly too wet
for cultivation March 25th. Sunday trav
eled five miles to reach Micanopy, the only
Sunday traveling that we did while upon
our trip
Micanopy is a small country village, with
two or three stores, two churches and eight
or ten families. Here wc seemed all at once
to enter the orange growing section, for blo
whole place is set in orange trees, not leav
ing even a yaid or garden. The groves
here are small, but one or two are fine, par
ticulnrly that of Judge Edwards consisting
of two or three acres. The trees are about
twenty years old, and are in fine bearing.
Many of his trees were still laden with fruit,
which to us i* the prettiest thing in nature.
And here we will correct an eronous opin
ion w hich some have, and which we enter
tained before visiting the orange groves,
and that is, that the orange tree is a perpet
ual bearer, having fruit of all stages of
growth from the bloom to that which is
ripe. This is not so, but the tress bloom
in the spring, mostly in March, and ‘.he
fruit ripens in September and October, but
is frequently left hanging on the tree all
the winter and even until the following
summer, and is only gathered as it is want
ed for use or for market, not at ail interfer
ing with the next crop which is frequently
set and growing whfri the former crop is
still hanging ripe on the trees. March 26th,
27th, 28th, Three days we spent in the
neighborhood of Orange Lake, lying parly
in Alachua and partly in Marion county.
This is a beautiful sheet of water about 20
miles long and from two to four miles wide.
Around the shores of this lake there are
some rich hammock lands, which appears
to be the home of the wild orange tree.
These trees are now laden with delicious
looking oranges, but upon- trial we find
them too bitter and sour to eat
Here are some wild groyes converted into
sweet groves by cutting off’ the wild tree
from four to seven feet from tbe ground, as
they stand and putting a bud from the
sweet tree into them, which is very simple
and easily done. Thus they stand ever the
ground as they grow without any regularity.
But some, for the sake of looks, take them
up and reset, making them in regular rows.
