Tuesday Morning, September 17, 1861. 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. 1 be Delegates of the 4th Congressional Dis- b-ct upon conference unanimously recommend the 00 A.

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.

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. —O Mb-— Buttle in Western Virginia. We h ave a telegraphic account of a battle at Summerville, between Ex-Governor Floyd and Gen. Rosencrantz. The enemy acknowledge a loss of about 100. Gen. Lowe of the enemys army was killed and Col.

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. T. M. BRADFORD, Military Store Keeper. t?/' What t!-e object of the Republican may be, 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. | Communicated.] Messrs.

HARD, Visiting Agent, A CAK.D. To She men of property ©f Baldwin County. 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 upon you then, not as suppliants for your charity, turned. Three of the commissioned officeis of i but on yon as citizens owing great duties to those this company, (one of them now a Surgeon iu t'obb's Legion,) have already spent tlieii money liberally to an amount quite sufficient to meet the demand of tho present exigency and to put the company upon a footing with the other three di visions. constituting the cavalry battalion of Phillips’ Legion. 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 Capital of the State will not respond to this call. Occupying the extreme of the Battalion, being the Senior Cavalry company, this gallant compa ny occupies a prominent and conspicuous position, and let it be our pride and boast, that it i3 inferior to none in l umbers, as it is, we know, inferior to none in patriotism and bravery. It has been a source of great mortification to the officeis and privates of the Governor’s Horse Guards that upon Battalion parades, the Major eammanding has been compelled to fill up the ranks of this corps irom other Cavahy corps of the Battalion who had them to spare—such change being absolutely necessary to fill up aud equalize the platoons, other corps having men enough and to spare, while they were deficient in numbtrs. The officers and privates of the Governor's Horse Guards take pleasure in publicly thanking Capt. Pocket of the “Cherokee Cavalry” for his kindness in volunteering to them, on thess oc casions, men enough to fill up their ranks. Prompt action is demanded. Capt DuBignon’s furlough will bo out a few days. C. 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. Georgia SSc-lirF him!

Crawford County, Ga , } September Btb, lefil. ) 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.

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’ . [From the Inteligenccr.] “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.
