PnUjpct to the Action of the Congressional Conven

COUNTY CONVENTION.
At the request of a large Dumber of the
citizens of Upson county, a convention of
the county is called, to he hold at the Court
House, on Saturday, the first day of Oc
tober next, for the purpose of nominating a
candidate for the House of Representatives
A general attendance on the [tart of the
people is earnestly urged, that the deliber
ations of the convention rnnv he harmonious
and the result satisfactory. Come one,
come all !
The convention, when it assembles, will
determine the manner of selecting a candi
date, hut it is suggested by a great many
citizens that the selection bo made by bal
lot.
CONVENTIONS.
At a meeting of the Democrats of Upson
county, held at the Court House, in Thom
aston, on Saturday, the 13th ult., the fid
lowing gentlemen were chosen delegates to
attend the convention to he held in Talbot'
ton, on the 15th inst., to nominate a candi
date for the Senate from the 25th Senatorial
District: Thos. S. Sharman, J. 0. Hunt,
Jas. W. Atwater, J. 0. Zorn, D. W. Worn
ble, and 11. T. Jennings.
On Saturday last, 27rh ult., at a meeting
of the Democrats of this county, held at the
same place (Thomaston) the following
gentlemen were selected delegates to attend
the Fourth Congressional District Convene
tion to be held at Forsyth, on Wednesday,
the 21st day of the present month, (Sep
tember,) to nominated candidates for the
unexpired term of the 41st Congress and
for the full term of the 42d Congress : E.
A. Flewellen, W. T. Weaver, delegates;
Wilson Sawyer, B. G. McKenney, alter
nates.
ORGANIZE.
Now that the campaign is about to open,
let us bestir ourselves. Our enemies are
wide-awake and actively preparing for the
tussel. Wo have work before us, and a
great amount of it. We have seen what
organization can do, in North Carolina and
Tennessee, even though in these States
organization was imperfect, owing to the
presence of troops. There is danger in
delay, and although the election is yet dis
tant, if we would successfullv perform the
horculean task before us, we must com
mence immediately. We must have an
energetic Executive Committee in each
Congressional District; every county should
he canvassed, every village should have a
Democratic club, money must be raised,
documents must be circulated, speakers
must be employed, etc., etc. “Now is the
time and now is the hour.”
IION. JAS. S. BOYNTON.
The gentleman whose name heads this
article is spoken of as a suitable person for
Congress from the 4th District. We un
derstand his name will he urged in the
Convention for nomination, by the delegates
from six counties. This is a very flattering
endorsement under any circumstances, but
it is more than flattering in his case, as
four of the counties that are foremost in
urging his name are counties in which,
he has resided and where he is thoroughly
known. He was honored by election to
office before the war, and discharged his
duty as Colonel of the 30th Georgia Regi
ment during the war; but his disabilities
have been removed by Congress. In cast
ing about to get a candidate for Congress,
we can think of no one in the District bet
ter suited for the position than Col. Jas. S.
Boynton. lie is eligible, as before stated,
and in every way competent and capable.
ONE WORD.
In the selection of candidates to repre
sent us in Congress, nothing can bo more
unwise than to choose men whose eligibility
can be for a moment questioned. Radical
power is waning. Events of the past ten
years teach us that we contend with a
powerful and cunning foe. Radical leaders
In their extreme desperation, resort to the
most infamous practices to render their
authority lasting, without hesitation. A
favorite scheme has been the unseating of
duly qualified and elected Democratic mem
bers, to make way for Radical contestants.
This is no mere idle assertion. James
Brooks, of the 3th New York district, was
unseated, although elected by a large ma
jority. Among others forced to yield, we
mention George W. Greene, of the 11th
New York district; John R. Reading, of
the sth Pennsylvania; Henry D. Foster, of
the 21st district of the same State; Daniel
W. Voorhees, of the Gth Indiana ; George
W. Morgan, of the Bth Ohio ; Gen. Shields,
of Missouri ; Stockton, of New Jersey, and
others. This is one of those “moral ideas”
Democrats have to contend with. It secures
representative (?) government.
No one acquainted with the doings of the
“God and morality party” can be so mis
guided as to believe this practice will cease ;
it will continue, and therefore, we warn the
Democrats, in this State and o-thers, to select
those only for Congressional honors whose
disabilities have been removed—fully and
entirely removed, as any other course per
sued will enable the Radical plotters to give
almost any complottion to the next C in
gress they may choo°e to.
Do not nominate candidates who are
under the political disabilities of the 14th
amendment. This would be political sui
cide.
TENNEBBKF. is on the move again. A
I) .mocratic Convention has been called to
assemble at Nashville, on the 13th of
September, to nominate a candidate for
Governor and “take such amps as may be
necessary to secure the thorough organiza
tion of the party.” Notwithstanding the
machinations of the corruptionists in this
State, we look for an overwhelming Demo
cratic victory on the second Tue-dav in
November next. We are assured of this
by the great gains made in the late Judicial
elections.
Half a million dollars were spent by
Grant and Holden's friends in the attempt
to carry the election in North Carolina.
Bout well has sent word to Grant at Long
Branch that he is figuring on Geo-gia, and
thinks a little over a million will do it. No
matter, the people will foot the bills,
faxes must be increased to replace these
drafts on the Treasury. So the office
holders “all hands 'round” and sing to the
poople:
“ You are fajreJ on rnur omcea. af.,rea, ann Toiirsunp,
tin yonr stoves, on your wash-tubs, your broom* and
your mop3,
On your sbrotuls, on your tombstones; and after yon die,
Tou are taxed on the coffin in which you must lie,
We put oil the screws
As hard as we choose,
To be swindled dear people, yon should not refuse.”
[ooMMUNICATfD.]
A Convention will assemble in Forsyth
on the third Wednesday, (21st) in Septem
tember, to nominate a can iidate for Con
gress bom the 4th. Congressional District.
In casting the eye over the field, we find
that the disaoilities imposed upon the great
bulk of onr prominent fellow citizens, by a
partisan National Assembly, make the
number of talented and experienced legis
lators, extremely limited, but this District
is exceedingly fortunate in having one who
rises above all the others in that good and
available man, Col \Y J. Lawson, of the
county of Bibb. If elected ho cannot be
refused a seat upon the floor of Congress,
because without even a request ur>"n his
part, he has been relieved of all do-qualifi
cations by legal enactment. He is a man
of marked ability, not untried in public
life, having served in the Georgia Legisla
ture with signal success.
Reciring from a lucrative legal practice
to devote his time to agriculture, he has
spent quite forty years of his life in ad
vancing that paramount interest of the
South. llis every aspiration and hope is
inseparably connected with his native
Southern clime, and his devotion and ad
herance to it is so fixed and indisputable,
and his abhorance of those treacherous be
trayers of his State is so inter.se and undis
guised, that “there is, even, no smell of
five upon his garments.” lie is available,
he is honest, he possesses unquestionable
capacity, knows the wants of our people,
comprehends the situation, and is equal to
the emergency. But what is greater even
than all, he is a Christian gentleman.
Should the nomination be tendered him,
his past success in life, whether in law, in
agriculture, or in commerce, is a safe guar
antee of his final triumph over his oppo
nents end an earnest of the performance
of his whole duty, to his country, his
State, and his constituency. Citizen.
RADICAL HUMBUG.
The New York Staats Zeitung takes the
Radicals to task for their professed sympa
thies with Germany, and says :
“The Radicals offowa have taken advan
tage of the European situation to embody
something in their platform. They have
done like the Ohio Radicals, but carried the
matter a little further, for they had the
audacity to assert that the Democratic press
of the country have declared for the French
imperial dynasty and for the unfounded
war. The only reason for this is the fact
that certain Democratic papers in Northern
cities have, for reasons of their own, been
flirting with the Fenians. But nobodv can
name a German Democratic paper which
does not wish sueeess to the German arms.
This clause in the platform betrays at once
the intentions of the authors, and stamps
them as the most unm tigated humbugs.
* * The Radical jugglers who desire to
catch German votes by empty phrases must
take them for children or idiots. It is
nothing less than an insult to the entire
German po. ulation, and this manoeuvre
will no doubt have a different effect from
the one intended.”
The Staats Zeitung fully understands the
Radical game, and we doubt not the Radi
cals will be rather unsuccessful in tneir
efforts to induce German voters to swallow
their gudgeons.
We were struck with an editorial predic
tion in the New York Times a few days
since, to the effect that the recent complica
tions in Europe would place the German
vote of the United States under the control
of the Republican party.
But the Germans of this country will not
be slow to comprehend the situation. They
will clearly understand the professed sym
pathies of the Radicals with Prussia. It is
the result of a purely practical business
calculation as to the number of German
votes that can be influenced by the affected
sympathy for Germauy.
It the German voters of this country were
a mere handful, as is the case with the
French, and the French vote were number
ed by hundreds of thousands, “under which
king” would the Radicals serve? Would
the “sweet German accent” then be such
music to their ears ? We think not. “ Vive
L ’ Empereur /” “ Dire la France!” would
then be ibe slogan of the Patriotic New
York Tribune and the sell-denying Phila
delphia Press.
The Germans of America know that the
pretended sympathy of the Radicals of this
country can have no influence on the result
of the Franco-Prussian War. They feel
that King William will be victorious with
it ; that he would have been victorious
without it. And they will not sell their
political principles for so paltry a price as
is offered by the Radical party.
The Greeleys and Forneys must try an
other dodge. Their extremity is great—
bordering on desperation -but they cannot
check the waning fortunes of their party
by any of the disreputable expedients they
are now trying. Carolina Farmer,

Our Military Edit <k on tub Situation.
—Our military editor makes the following
astounding announcement:
To day will probably witness the final
r>vl l T\<*t inn b armT. -A trot- n
earetul review of all ihe dispatches relative
to Prussian victories, after flouring up the
number "f killed. Wounded and prisoners
on the French side, as found in the dis
patches, and comparing them with the
wh de number of French sddiers brought
into the field, 1 find there are only about
two thousand left, and this little handful of
men “our Fri z,” with bis army of Buo,ooo
men, be hasn’t lost a man yet, will easily
be enabled to gobble up at his leisure, lie
may not take them in to-day, but they will
not be suffered to be at large longer than
to-morrow, depend upon it.
This may seem incredible, but if any one
will take the trouble to collect the telegraph
dispatches, since the opening of hostilities,
add up the figures, he will see that l am
correct. «
llow many cannon did France have when
she commenced the war? She had ne
thousand seven hundred and twenty two.
Now the Prussians (add up dispatches)
have captured >ne thou. and seven hu dred
and twenty cannon, leaving the French
with two ca. non with which to carry on
on the war.
li King William don’t want to have the
war sloped before he has had an opportunity
for laying up a sufficient stock of honor f r
his old age, he had better lend Napoleon a
few cannon.
Some may doubt the truth of my state
m nt, but I think the dispatches will bear
me out in them. Such a complete whiping
out (according to Prussian accounts) of a
hitherto powerful and warlike nation has
never before occurred in he history of the
world.
We a wait with trembling interest to hear
of the late of the remaining two thousand
French, sad remnant ot Napoleon’s great
army Cincinnati Times
The New York Times concedes that the
Republican party c u and have elected Lin
coin upon no other issue than that of eman
eipation ; that if it had not been for the
rebellion the party would in all probability
have gone to pieces long ago ; and that now,
its great work being ended, the party is iri
a critical condition, with no settled issues
upon which to construct anew ground of
action for the future. The negro has
ceased to be a central figure, and the ani
mosities and revenges ot the past have to a
great extent died out. A sad state of things,
truly, for a party upon the dominance of
which, as Senator Morrill said in the Senate,
the other day, the destinies ot the American
Republic depend. No pc liey to cement it
together ; no issues to sot forth as its springs
of action ; no negro to give color and tone
to the battle-cry of freedom ; no freedom
indeed to be sought or gained ; no animosi
ties or revenges to stimulate agitation or
feed excitement ; its principles exhausted,
wrought out and accomplished, its mission
fulfilled, its work done—and yet its machin
ery intact, its ambitiou rampant, its appetite
for power unsatiated, and all its party im
pulses as strong as ever. What direction is
to be given the loyal and progressive
gies of the party is toe problem which now
agitates the pure an 1 and senterested minds
of its leaders —those “knav s,” as the Na
tion says, “who keep up the organization
simply for the purpo-e of dividing the Fed
eral offices among themselves.
Effect op the War on the New Y< kr
Banks— New York, August 14. The war
in Europe continues to drain our banks of
specie, thereby decreasing their bga! re
serve, and forcing them to contract their
loans. The total exports of specie for the
past five weeks have been $22,530,215
Thus Europe has deprived us, in five weeks,
of an amount nearly as great as that held
by the New Yoik hanks at the present,time,
to wit : .>24,104 302. That is to say, a
drain of specie for the next five weeks like
that of the last five weeks, will clear oct
every dollar of gold now held by the New
York banks. The loss of specie by the
banks enforces a contraction of loans on
them precisely the same as the loss of green
backs or legal tenders to a similar amount.
The banks reckon specie in their legal re
serve the same as the loss of legal tenders
to them so far as the contraction of bank
loans is concerned. Their loans were de
crease last week $2,534,525, and since the
war commenced about $7,000,1)00.
