Thr Conyrnlien.
The proceedings of the Convention which met
this place on the 11th inst., will be found pub
•,lied in full in another column. It is taken from
a :i extra of the Southern Recorder, and wo pre
sume rs official From the official proceeding's it
„,.uld appear that there were fifty-four counties
represented, but a tegard for truth and candor
compels us to state that in several of the coun
lies, put down as represented, the people held
public meetings and by large majorities decided
that they would not send delegates to the Conven
lion. Vet there were men here claiming to be del-
e/ates fi'om these very counties, and their names
h i recurled as regular delegates. Now who sent
t s* men. and how came they to-be delegates,
viien their counties had determined not to send
delegates ? The truth is they got into the Con
r-ntion by Hocus focus, and represented nobody
■.ilieinselves. Take out these counties that
u -re misrepresented, and these hocus pocus del
, tstes, and we have only about forty comities
t:- sent regular delegates. Large sections of the
S ate were not represented at all. Tho State, we
believe contains 133 counties, out of these only
"4 were pretended to be represented, and only
about forty sent delegates. And how were these
important men chosen ? Generally, they chose
each oth r. Some twenty or thirty men would
get together and agree to put A and B on a com
initlee with the understanding that A and B shall
appoint all of the balance, together with the Chair-
ei iti and the Secretary, as delegates to the Con
vention. Thus most of the members of this Con
vention. were appointed by mutual understanding,
si 1 were a sort of mutual insurance company.
T t re were many very respectable gentlemen in
the Convention, but they had but few constituent".
Vet these representatives of small meetings in
- me forty or fifty counties, have determined if
t ie people obey them, who the people of Georgia
hill have for Governor, who shall be our Electors,
a 1 in many instances, who shall he onr Congress
men, and our State Senators. Many good and
s-nsible men have asked, what necessity there
wjs for a Convention, if old parties are done
away with. The truth is, there was no necessity
for such a Convention. But this Convention
which has just closed its labors, has revived old
parties No spectator could help seeing the strong
[artisan character which pervaded the meeting.
There was a very strong odor of Know Nothing-
inii pervading the Convention from the time the
ti st Chairman and Secretary were appointed, un
til the Convention adjourned. There was another
feature in the Convention which was very promi
nent. Nearly or quite every man in the State
who had been disappointed in obtaining office
from Gov. Brown, or who had any private grief to
avenge., were there and very r active. The offi
ciousness of these men, seemed to savor much
more of revenge than of patriotism. There were
besides many gentlemen of great respectability
from both the old Whig and Democratic parties,
hut ver3’ few of these were representative men
We have been present at ail the Conventions that
have been held in 5IilledgevBIe for the last ten
yiars, and we do not think that we have ever seen
a Convention in this place before, where so few of
ilie- people were represented. It. would require
the utmost stretch of liberality to say, that more
than two thousand voters in Georgia were repre
sented by this Convention. Shall the people, the
Sovereigns of a mighty State, be cheated, and de
frauded out of their votes, by such a humbug ?
We hope not.
The \oiuiuee of the Convention.
!'..r Judge Nisbet personally we have the most
profound respect and esteem. We have known
him long and intimately, and know him to he a
p utlennn and scholar. He is amiable and kind
is all of bis personal relations: and in this contest,
it he suffers the Convention to use his honored
name to divide and distract the people of Georgta.
in this momentous crisis, we believe he will do it,
mure in deference to the opinions of others than
liis own. We believe most sincerely if left to his
own unbiased judgment, JtiJge Nisbet would
prefer that the helm of the ship of State, in these
peiilous times, should be left in the hands of him
who has shown himself so skillful in piloting us
amid the rocks and quicksands of civil war.—
Although from our youth upward entertaining the
b ndesf. feelings of friendship for Judge Nisbet,
lias generally been our misfortune to differ with
bun in politics. He was an old Whig, we were
Democrat*. In the time when the Pope, the Cath
olic and foreigners generally, were greatly fear-
el by many, he was a Know Nothing of the strict
est sect, we were democrats of the most liberal
Order; and in the last Presidential campaign we
differed as to men, he supporting the claims of Mr.
Douglas, whilst we supported those of Mr. Breck
inridge. But these things are now past, and our
pr -sent opposition to his claims, is not, that we
love him less, but Geoigia more. We believe as
much as we do any portion of Holy Writ, that
Gov. Brown is just the man for these times, and
we should commit a sin, if we did not urge upon
the people of Georgia the necessity of re-electing
b in. We believe that in a few mouths, perhaps iu
a f-w weeks our whole seabord will be harrassed
by hostile fleets and armies, and the property and
Eves of our citizens will depend upon a vigorous,
••uergetic and successful resistance. In such a
contingency it is all-important to have a tried and
efficient leader, one in whom the people have con
fidence. We candidly believe, there is not anotli-
*' man in the whole limits of the State, that is in
every respect so well qualified to meet the crisis
as Gov. Brown. Believing this as implicitly ns
Wh do, it would be criminal in us not to urge his
re-election upon the people.
Tlir <>ou'raior nml Soldier* C'lolSiiiatf*
The rumor, we are told, prevails in some ot the
counties, set alloat undoubtedly by some one
"hose design is to iujure Gov. Brown, that he in-
buds to have deducted out of the pay of every sot-
*b‘r who receives clothing Jfcc. out of the contri
butions furnished by the ladies and distributed by
the Quaitermaster General, the pay allowed to
**Hi soldier for clothing. This statement, absurd
‘t appears, it is said has found credence. We
have only to say, there is not a particle of truth in
1 Any boxes of clothing seut to the Governor for
* u y particular Company, is sent by Express to
'bat Company at the expense of tiie State. In
•tunecases, where clothing has been sent by the
county directed to her soldiers, the State has paid
'be freight. When clothing has been sent with
out any special direction, it is appropriated where
•' * 8 most needed.
'heidea, that the soldier slionid pay out of his
'heagre wages for what was designed as gratuity
we venture to say, never was even dreamed of
y the Governor.

, . . r6e c.public like ours, every man who has
' ^ 13 3 P“ r , tion of the Government, and is in
sponsible for the manner in which the Guv-
i.t is admiuist-red. This responsibility he
avoid if he would; he can't transfer it fiom
h V S < houlders to .mothers, by abstaining from
voting for it is his duty vote, and to vote for
rig t man. Never since Georgia became an
independent State, has there been such a grava
res pons i n uy resting upon the voters, in select
ed °v V Tr r : Very Possibly, we might say,
.4 A r °. aj J - ln less than three months our coast
wn e invaded, aud the honor, the interest, the
hi es, and fortunes of our citizens, many depend
itry much upon the kind of a man we have for
Governor. It then, becomee a matter, not of mere
c . >ice. or of friendship, but of grave responsibility
and duty, who we elect Governor. The man who
in such a crisis as this, vi tes from mere prejudice,
or personal feeliug, knowingly, against the man
jest"qualified, and best calculated to save the
•State;,iu our opinion, commits a fearfui crime not
only against himself and his fellow citizens, but
against high Heaven. Perhaps some may say. I
admit aii of your premises, but how am I to know
which ot all the candidates, is the man for this
crisis? Happily, one of them has been tried, aud
has been found eminently qualified for such an
emergency. Gov. Brown has been tiied, and we
known that he will do to depend upon; either of
toe ethers might, or might not do as well. Shall
we leave a certainty for an uncertainty, a man that
has been tried and found all right, for one that has
never been tiied?
Wcsperntely Bent on Fnnll-fin<ling.
In a late number of our paper, we made the fol
lowing statement: Iff on Fort Pulaski had hen
occupied by l cdcrul troops, and before Georgia had
acted, Gov. Brown risked everything ami boldly
seized the Fort and occupied it by Georgia■ troops
Phis timely art has kept the foot of the invader of 'the
soil of Georgia. Now we contend that every
word of the above is true, in every fair and legit
imate sense in which it ean he undei3tood. The
Savannah News as if determined to find fault with
Gov. Brown or ourselves, denies cur statement,
and then goos on to say that the people of -Savan
nah had determined to take the Fort, before Gov.
Brown arrived, but waited for him to give his of
ficial sanction. Admitting all that the News says
it does not contradict our statement in the least
Wo never expected it to he understood, that Guv.
Brown acted alone in the matter. When we
stated that he occupied Fort Pulaski with Georgia
troops, we certainly supposed it would be under
stood that the people, some of them at least, won-
acting with him. AH that we claimed for Gov.
Brown was, that ho took tiie responsibility of
taking Fort Pulaski before Georgia had seceded,
gave his official sanction to the act, thus throwing
over it. the legal authority of a sovereign Stale. |
Tho News must he desperately bent on fault
finding, and in great want of material, when it at
tempts to deny our statements.
Concert nt I.iutea.
By reference to our advertising columns it will
be seen that Prof. J. J. Gorres of the Washington
Institute, assisted by the Ladies Relief Society-
will give a Concert at Linton, for the benefit of the
soldiers, on Thursday Evening, 20th inst. The
well known ability of Prof. Gorres to give an in
teresting entertainment, and the good cause to
which the proceeds are to be devoted will insure
a large attendance.

For the Southern Federal Union.
Wlio titmll b<- our Sicjl Governor?
We are in the midst of a war. The Governoi
of Georgia must have the qualifications necessary
for the emergency. In ordinary times of peace
the accomplished Statesman and Lawyer, or tin
exponent of a great political principle can fill the
office, but now it is different, every candidate i-
subordinate to the one great idea of difensc. Tin
question therefore which should seriously engag-
the mind of every voter, is, who is the man foi
the emergency. We answer that the proper man
for the place is one, who even without any great
reputation as a Statesman or a politician, has tin
quality of good practical hard sense, industry an*!
untiring energy. A man who iu the shortest iim-
can bring out if necessary the whole strength o’
the .State, both in men and money. One who can
with limited means accomplish great ends; one o-
keen penetration and close observation who wil
readily see our weak points, and prepare to defend
them from the coming enemy. In other words wi
want a man who has the energy- to fortify oui
whole coast, and bring to its defense every able
man, if necessary, in the shortest time. For this
reason he must be a practical working man, om
who can iu short order organize out of our militia
or volunteers, an army, and have them transferred
at short notice to the coast; who can arm and pro
vide for them : who will at once see that every
inlet is guarded with batteries, and whose strong
Executive capacities are felt in every point. In
other words lie must be a man who not only deal.-
with men, but with matter—force; individuality-
win, and indomitable energy are the qualities, an* 1
without these qualities, no man at this time should
he elected. This is no ordinary peace time, when
any body- may make a Governor; aud it seriously
becomes every voter to think and to ask the ques
tiod, "am I about to cast my vote for sucii a man?”
With a powerful foe about to assail our coast,
it is a question of vital importance now, to have
the right qualities for our next Governor Get a
good one and we are safe—without one we are
lost. Who has the necessary qualifications ?
Let every voter ask this question and let no one
vote until he is satisfied on this important point.
MAXIM.
Our correspondent “Maxim” has pointed out
correctly the qualifications necessary for a Gov
ernor of Georgia, at the present time. He has
not named the man, but he has described him so
accurately, that no one cau mistake him. Let a!!
of those who wish well to the -State vote for him.

Death of Charles Ogdea.
We regret to announce the death of our fellow-
citizen Chaui.es Ohdf.N. who departed this life
in this city, on Saturday morning last, in the
53rd year of his age. He was, we believe, a na
tive of New Jersey, hut had for twenty years, or
more, resided in this city, where, by his amiable
fnrmed and been suffered to disband tortile want
ot arms, is a mystery that needs some solution.—
Can any one, even Gov. Brown, give a reason for
such treatment to our soldiery?”
All I have to say, is. that the Editor has been
misinformed in regard to the arms now in the
Arsenal at this place. It would be obviously im
proper for me to state how many arms are on hand
at present, because it would be important infer
illation lor our enemies I ean however, with pro
priety etato, that I know that it is the intention of
•theGovernor to place the aims fit for use, now in
the Arsenal, in the hands of the men he expects
to order out for the defence of the sea coast of Ga.
These is no new Arsenal in-re. If the editor al
ludes to the new Magazine, I can inform him that
there is an abundant supply of Powder and Car
tridges in it, but no arms are kept there.

by calling for information which might be very im
portant to our enemies, but would evidently be
very improper to give at ibis time, we will not pre
tend to say. In addition to what is said above by
the Military Store Keeper. We can state, that the
complaint conveyed by his editorial, is without
any foundation.
Govrruorta Horse Guards.—Capt. it 11 Iti
11012.
This Cavalry Corps from our town and county
is now at Lynchburg, Virginia, in Phillips’ Le
gion, the Post btiug commanded by Maj. Clay.
This company, although numbering but forty-
six, has been mustered into the service, with the
understanding that the ranks would he filled in a
short time. Capt DuBignon is now in the city,
having been granted a furlough, for the purpose
of recruiting and filling up his compauy. Ite
lacks twenty men to meet the requisition of the
Confederate States’ at my regulations. These men
cau be obtained at a moment’s notice, but the
horses are not so easily obtained. Is there not
money enough, among our patriotic citizens to
supply this demand. The boises will cost in Vir
ginia $3,000. The same hoises in this market
would command double this sum. All horses sup-
plied this troop will be valued and at the close of
the war will be paid for by the government or re
self a large circle of friends. He enlisted as a vol
unteer iu the ranks of the Baldwin Volunteers,
and went with them to Virginia, but his health
proved unequal to the service, and he returned
home, a few weeks ago, to find a grave in his
adopted city among the friends he loved so well.
His friends in the Baldwin Volunteers and the
Baldwin Blues will read the announcement of his
death with heartfelt sorrow. His remains were
escorted to the grave by the Blues, Jr.

To She men of property ©f Baldwin

I am here on a short furlough, to obtain Recruits
and Equipments for the Governor’s Horse Guards.
It musters only forty—far less in number than
auy Company in service. The Company contains
but few men of property, most, indeed uearly all,
are dependent oil their parents or daily labor.—
They have Inen sent to Virginia, beyond the
mountains—are the men who are worth their thou
sands aud hundred of thousands, content to be
there represented in numbers, when by the prompt
contribution of four thousand dollars, you can
equip with horse and saddle, twenty recruits and
give respectability in numbers and efficiency to
this Cavalry Corps. I can easily get the men, if
you will provide the money tor the purposes above
stated. It will at most he but a loan of the horses,
for if they are lost in the Confederate service, their
value will be repaid.
I await a few days ycur action to see whether
your pride, patriotism or true self-interest can a-
ronse you to the discharge of your duty to your
country and to your every interest.
We are in the field, perilling health, life every
thing, to protect you, and your property We call

liberally to an amount quite sufficient to meet the

Will not our monied men (we have plenty of
them) come, up to the mark and do their duty /
We hope they will. Let it not be said, that the

the Senior Cavalry company, this gallant compa
ny occupies a prominent and conspicuous position,

none in patriotism and bravery.
It has been a source of great mortification to the
officeis and privates of the Governor’s Horse

ranks of this corps irom other Cavahy corps of

being absolutely necessary to fill up aud equalize

Capt. Pocket of the “Cherokee Cavalry” for his
kindness in volunteering to them, on thess oc

Prompt action is demanded. Capt DuBignon’s

For the Southern Federal Union.
Messrs Editors :—No man in the State holds in
higher estimation the nominee of the late Conven
tion than I do, and under other circumstances he
should have iny cordial support. Without enlar
ging upon them, 1 cannot vote ior him for the fol
lowing reasons :
). His election now, would establish the prece
dent. and all future gubernatorial elections would
be controlled by king caucus political wire work
ers. to the exclusion of the will of the people.
2. All who know anything of the duties of the
Executive office, know that it is now, and must be
for the next two years “a workshop,” requiring at
its head a man of Herculean physical strength, and
all who know Judge Nisbet, know that his physi
cal powers are incapable of enduring the immense
amount of arduous labor that must devolve upon
him. Three months of such labor as Governor
Brown has underwent during the year, in his of
fice, and on ihe tented field, all of which was es
sential, would crush the delicate frame of the
Judge. His friends ought not to kill him with
this unkindness.
3. Judge Nisbet's past political record does not
recommend, now that the State is emerging from
the ruin brought upon it by federalism, to the
leadership iu a new Confederacy, whose chief
corner stone is State Rights. \V hat is that re
cord ? In early life, he was a good Troup (State
Rights) man. When the supporter of Harrison.
Clay and Fillmore, all repudiated by Troup and
State Rights men generally, his co-laborers were
the very men, whose encroachments upon the
rights of the States, led to the dismemberment
of the Union. Afterwards the leader of the
American or Know Nothing party of Georgia, it
was not till after that party, like the old Whig
party, became aboiitionized, that he was driven
back to “his first love,” the principles and fold
of States Rights men.
Can he wbo has thus wandered from the track,
even now that he has returned, be as safe a guide
iu this crisis, as one “rooted and grounded in tiie
faith,” an! who has never been anything else but
a firm and decided defender of the rights of the
State ?
4 But a still stronger reason why I cannot vote
for Judge Nisbet, and why I must vote for Gov.
Brown, is that Georgia's honor, onr wives and
children, onr property, all that is dear to us, is
now in imminent peril. Gov. Brown has experi-
i nee and has proved himself equal to the task im
posed on him. When necessary, he will fearless
ly assume responsibility, and without flinching,
pursue the course he deems right, regardless of
ali personal consequences. He has been tried aud
not found wanting. Judge Nisbet is untired.—
He may equal in firmness and decision, and every
other qualification the present incumbent. He
may make a better Governor. He may be equal
to all the immense responsibilities, that will de
volve on the next Governor. But we do not know
it. and too much is at hazzard to try the experi
ment. It is a trite saying, "a bird iu the hand is
worth two in the bush.” We know we have a
Governor who has done well, who is equal to any Gragg
of us who have gone to fight your battles—and
which cannot be put aside by petty contributions
of a few hundred dollars out of your thousands
and tens of thousands.
Georgia expects every man to do his duty. I
hope to find you not shrinking at tins call upon
yon. CHARLES DUBIGNON,
Captain Governor’s Horse Guards.

Messrs Editors:—A few words from this county
in regard to the approaching election for Gover-
ner, may not be uninteresting. Ever since the
appearance of Gov. Brown’s letter avowing his
willingness to serve for another term, if it was the
wish of the people, the most streneous efforts have
been made by a few individuals to prevent his be
ing a candidate. For this purpose they have ad
vocated the Convention of the 11 th, and were de
feated in sending delegates at a meeting of the
citizens on the 2nd. A few of them held a meet
ing on Saturday evening last, for the purpose of
sending delegates The Deputy Sheriff who call
ed the meeting at the Court-house door by re
quest, invited all who were in favor of sending
delegates to the Miiledgeville Convention to nom
inate a candidate for Governor, to come into the
Court-house. All those opposed to the Conven
tion, who constituted the large majority pre3erit,
and who were Brown men, with a few exceptions
of course, did not participate in the meeting.—
They, tiie Convention men, amounting to some
15 or 20, perhaps, organized a meeting, and ap
pointed delegates to the Gubernatorial Convention.
But these delegates represent the Convention, or
anti-Brown party above, which is very small in the
county, and not the county generally, and their
action will bind no one but themselves.
The Brown or anti-Convention men who have
determined to support Gov Brown as an inde
pendent candidate, and who constitute a large
majority, (fully three-fourths,) refused to partici
pate in any meeting called to send delegates to
the Convention. We consider Gov. Brown an
independent candidate, and we are going to sup
port him as such, and if he will keep li s name out
of that farce of a Convention, the people will re
elect him by a larger majority than ever before
This communication is made to let the Conven
tion and country know, that Crawford is for
Brown lor Governor and no Convention; and
that the delegates appointed in the little meeting
on Saturday evening, represent only a small, hut
respectable portion of the voting population of the
county, consisting, it seems, of what is known
here us the Caucus Party. They do not go there
as delegates from the county at large, chosen by tiie
citizens of the county generally, hut only as the
representatives of the party. In the same way,
they went on and appointed delegates to a Sen
atorial Convention at Fort Valley. The opposi
tion to Gov. Brown, is thus dividing the people
aud producing a caucus and anti caucus party.
The nominee of the Convention should then be
one who will represent tho caucus party—Gov.
Brown, the anti-caucus or people’s party—and be
will be elected iu my opinion.
CRAWFORD.
Members of Congress and of the Slate Legisla
ture.—The people manifest very little interest
in the approaching elections—owing, doubtless
to the all-absorbing interest in the pending strug
gle of our country for its independence.
We consider it a matter of very great impor-
tenc that we begin right iu the new Government.
The people now, for the first time, have an op
portunity to be represented in the Confederate
Congress. It is due to themselves that they elect
the right sort ot Representatives—men who will
eschew all partyisni and labor honestly for the
interest of the country.
To secure such men, it is necesarv that all
party hacks—all representatives ofcorrupt cliques
—and more especially, ali who have been con-
nected with the“old hulk” shall be laid upon the
shelf. We want new men—we w ant, pure men—
those who, looking alone to the interests of their
country, have nothing else to serve. Time-serv
ing demagogues, who sought their own aggran
dizement, and prefered party to country, having
ruined the old Government, let lis have nothing
to do with such cattle in future. Give us new
men—give us pure men?
What we say of Representatives in Congress
is equally applicable to the State Legislature aud
all other Representative men. Let us have a
thorough reform- Without it, we shall have a
gaiued nothing, however victorious onr arms may
be in the field of battle.
Conquering onr enemies will be a small matter,
unless we conquer our prejudices and put dow n
party spirit. Let us then hear no more party, or
broken down party hacks!—Allans Watchman.

Hon. L. H Briscoe was nominated by acclama
tion. and the nomination was unanimously ratified

From the “Southern Coufideracy.”
A Convention.
Gentlemen: Permit an hunble citizen of the
State of Georgia to be heard one time as to our
State affairs. Soon we must elect a Governor —
Two worthy men are now out as candidates for
the office, viz: Col. J. M. Chambers, of Colum
bus. and Jos. E. Brown, the present incumbent
That, in all reason, is enough. I do hope and
pray that as we have such a fair chance for a
good Goveror in either, that no other candidate
will be brought out Further, I do hope that
neither of them, nor any one else will he nomi
nated by a "Convention." These “Conventions."
got up by a moiety of the people, have foisted
more sorry men on us to fill the various offices
of State, than has been elected by any other cause.
Tiie sole object, generally, is to liud an “availa
ble man of any party.” For one—and there are
many others of the same mind—I had rather vote
for any other man than the nominee of a clique,
other things being nearly equal.
Again: I beg aud beseech the editors and wri
ters in our Georgia papers. not to abuse or be
rate either of those clever men, or, iu fact any
ottiers—if such there bo who may become can
didates for office. Further, if they should do so,
I hope their subscribers will rebuke them by
withdrawing their patronage. I have been mor
tified to see several “flings” of a very unwise,
and. as I take it, uncalled for character, whilst
unlyoac man’s name was before us. As Gov.
Brown seems to be a favorite with such men.
they seem to think that the best way to run the
race is to keep others off the track by throwing
clods and chunks hither and thither. That is
had policy and no better honesty. To every
body, I say. Ictus, for once, have au honest, hon
orable race in Georgia for Governor. If we have
this. I shall be quite pleased if either ot the men
now out, or any other one as clever and compe
tent, is elected. 1’ .

“A Got ri-nor An In A Governor
What would Joe Brown have done had lie been
Governor of Maryland? He would have Lad
possession of Fort McHenry, and Maryland would
net be overrun by Yankees.
If he had been Governor of Virginia he would
have had possession of Fortress 51 on roe!
If he had been Governor of North Carolina be
would have had Hatteras properly fortified and
defended!
Jt he had been Governor of Florida, he would
have had possession of Fort Pickens!
An All-wise Providence gave him to Georgia
for Governor, and lie has discharged tiie respon
sible duties of the office teariessly, faithfully aud
with security to the noble State; by securing Fort;
Pulaski, and placing it iu an impregnable position
by arming other assailable points of our coast:
by arming and sending to Virginia more troops
than any other State;by securing ammunition to
deli-nd us at home, and assisting the Confederate
Government wiih the same article; by soaring
above parties and politicians, and looking on'y to
tiie safety and welfare of his State aud country;
by looking into and giving personal attention
and labor to the details of his duties and that
of his subordinates, not trusting to noisy dema
gogues or treasury blood stickers; lioldiug every
officer, high and low to a strict accountability of
duty and expenditure without fear or favor. He
is the man for the times—he seeks not a contin
uance in office, but submits his official course
with a clear and approving conscience, to the
judgment of tile people, to the hone and sinew
of the country. If they require his services an
other term, in his present high position, he will
obey their mandate, and serve them, as he has
don--, to the best of his ability. If they choose
to place another in his stead, he will be found iu
the ranks of the people, aiding aud doing all in
his power for the glory of Georgia.
Joe Brown, as lie is familiarly called, is a plain
man, and if in his boyhood, he ploughed with a
“no tailed bull,” he has made none the worse
Governor for all that. He is a practical business
man, happily unacquainted with excessive wine
bibbing, and sliding antics under the table after
dinner, at a contraction dinner party.
No fat contracts or placemen have been known
on the W -t A. R. li. under liis administration.
He placed a plain practical man (J. W. Lewis)
with a head full of common sense brains, at the
head of that road who looked after the pieces,
(spikes if you will) aud the fabric took care of
itself; who lias made every man do liis duty, and
gave no room for idlers or political bablers. and
tl-e result is, the ro il has been a success and has
paid money into the Treasury, despite the hard
times and lack of usual trade. Conventions,
corrupt politicians, officeseekers and contractors,
milled and upset the old government, aided by
Yankee fanatics. Let the Southern Confederacy
steer clear of them. Let the people, by their
votes, say, “who they will have to rule over them:”
and they will pass the verdict upon Gov. Brown,
“Well done, good and faithful servant, enter
thou upon a third term, for the welfare of the
State,” and save it from corrupt and designing
demagogues. FAIR PLAY
