The Atlanta Constitution is very popular now with Northern republican journals. This is lie cause the Constitution joins hands with them, in their warfare upoi. the democratic party. The National Democratic com millec agreed upon the city ot St. Louis as the place, and the 5th clay of June as the time, for hold ing the Presidential nominating convention. The committee no doubt acted wisely. Some very eloquent speeches were made before the National Democratic Committee, at ita re cent meeting in Washington, in support of the claims of different cities lo have the lionor of accom inndating the presidential conic-n tion. Encouragement sf Agriculture. ] frequently happens that the tariff, Thomas Jefferson, the father of instead of raising a revenue for the democratic party, «nd the ' the government, secures a bounty greatest statesman this* country i for the manufacturer. Suppose, ever produced, said in his Hist inaugural address, that •‘encour agement of agriculture” is one til the "essential principles" of our government, which "ought to shape its administration.” It is. however, very well known to those who are familiar w ith our history, that this “essential principle" has never been |iertnilled to tie velup into an ncliie and control ing political loree. It lias been pushed into the back ground, and allowed to remain dormant, while oilier principles, not essential, and even hurtful to the best in tcrests of the country, have simp ed the policy of the government for the greater part of its rxis lence. Agriculture has not even State Agricultural i'eareatioa.

Mr. W. XV. Coreoram, the dis tinguished philanthropist, ol Washington, died last week at his home in that city. He bad lived to lie ninety years old, and had devoted during his life mil lions of dollars lo works of eharf ty. He was an unwavering friend to llu- South, and Ins death will be universally lamented. The AtlalHa Constitution, in its issue of February 2lid, admits that it favors free whiskey as tin only means of preventing a reduc tion of the tax on the necessities of life. If this had been done two or three months ago, a vast amount of hypocritical cant about “Russian outrages,” under the internal revenue system, might have been kept out of its columns. Abraham Lincoln didn't know the difference between a courtU and a Stale: or, in other words, he thought that a county hears the same relation to a State that a State hears lo the lederal gov ernment. Ami yet, a man is sometimes found who is small enough -to declare that Lincoln was the greatest man America ever produced. Isn't it astonish ing that men wiil w allow lu the slush of falsehood iu order to pan tier to popular whims? The chief occupation of the special correspondent of the At lanta Constitution alllie Federal Capital, seems to be to discover “startling rumors” concerning the intentions of the President. He has several limes recently repot l ed that Mr. Cleveland was about to write a letter declining lo be a Presidential candidate. Tiiesabl correspondent is quite a success at discovering tilings that have no existence. The Woman's Christian Teiu peranee Union seems to think that the best way to promnte tile cause of temperance is to make whiskey cheap. They are, there fore, beseiging Congress with a' demand for the removal of the whiskey lax, so that the terrible evil wiil be brought within easy reach of every man anti boy in the country. These misguided women having gone into polities with their cranky notions, it is ev ident that their organization has outlived the day of its usefulness. The Atlanta Constitution says that “the sole and only hope of Democialic success is in the hearty, unanimous, and prompt nomination ot Grover Cleveland.” and jet it is doing everything in us powet to defeat his views upon the tariff question, which is tin doublcdly the paramount issue before the country. It may be safely said that tf the above named paper could control (lie action of the National Democratic Conven tion which will assemble in the city of St. Louis on the 5th daj of Juno, the name of Grover Cleve land would not lie mentioned. The Atlanta organ of the mo nnpolisls, also known as the “great flopper,” continues its vie ioas assaults upon llie Democratic parly. It now says that a -for eigner by the name of Moore lias entire control of the ways ami/ means committee. This is not only an attack on the party, but * a reflection-upon llie public and private character of Hon. II. G. Turner, and the other good men who compose the ways and means committee. IIow lung will the good people of Georgia tolerate this cruel war upon her truest and best men? M. C | and T. 15. liariy, w e were j ined i in Smithvtlie by Secretary Grier. 119 i Col. J. M.

Tlic Constitution explains liv saying that such a course would result in restoring the negroes aud carpet baggers lo (tower. “Alio tber era of negro rule would ruin ns utterly.” The truth is. the Constitution can fight the demo crats with better effect in.lUaaout of the party.. While its products are indispen sable lo human existence, and are recognized as the basis of all prosperity; yet in the legislation of our country *vc find absolutely nothing that is calculated to de velop and encourage this great interest. All the kindly ay 111 pa lilies, and fostering cares of the government have been directed lo the building np of manufact ures, and the only recognition farmers have bad lias been mani Tested in a demand for high and burdensome taxation, to lhe end that the country's lesources may be developed. The result of this odious and abominable policy has been to depress and impoverish our agriculture, and to concen trate the wealth of the Union in liiat set-lion where the people an largely engaged in industrial en terprises. The nine Stales siltia ted in the north eastern portion of country, although they only have one fourth of the population vet they possess more wealth than all the other States combined. Nearly all the Insurance compa nies, Railroad companies, Tele graph companies, and Savings hanks arc located and controil-cl in lltc Eastern Slates, where tin "protected industries” have at tained to a wonderful degree of prosperity under the paternal care of the government. The lit tic Slate of Rhode Island, not much larger than an ordinary county, lias three limes as much money on deposit in the banks, as the three large agricultural Slates of Ohio. Indiana, and Min nesotn. Mortgages on the farms tn the Western and Southern Stales amounting to several bil lions of dollars are held mostly in tile little manufacturing States iu the northeast. The net profits in farming, us shown by the census of 1SS0. were about 3 per cent on the capital invested, while manu facturing made a net profit of 25 percent. There is no doubt that a comparison at this time would show a still gicater disparity, and it is evident that, unless the cause of this fearful State of af fairs is promptly met, anil effect ually remover! by the government, the great majority of the people who are tillers of the soil, will be come for all practical purpose the tenants of the rich and lordly cap italists of the industrial Stales. Under the operation Of the (ires ent infamous tariff, the farmer is compelled to sell his cotton, and wheat, and other products, at prices that are made and estab lished in the loiresl market in the world; and the ptiees of every thing which necessity compels him to buy, are made in the high est market in the world. He can not carry bis cotton or grain to Liverpool, anti biing back with him such things as lie ncids to clothe his fitmtly, to supply bis residence and kitchen, and lo furnish his farm with the neecs sary tools anti implements. O no, lie cant do that. The govern ment compels him to buy those tilings at home, at a cost tnereas ed from 25 to more than 100 per cent by the tariff, for the purpose of making the manufacturer rich, and it vines it. What, then, becomes of that ••encouragement of agriculture," , , i . .i • but friends.

The semi is evident from the amazing state- annual address of President North menls made in one of its edilo. rials of Saturday last, that it is utterly without arguments to sits •ain its position, and that it hopes to conquer by the audacity of its assertions. But these statements were calculated to stagger the most ardent and devoted follower of that paper. They will insist that the line be drawn at thr •‘spinning wheel and hand loom." upon which the farmers wifi makes*the clothing for himscll and family. It says: “They (the fanners) have the habit of marry ing women who take pleasure in spinning and weaving their hus band's clothes. The spinnirg a heel anil the hand loom are still at work in Georgia, and lltc re suit is that tlte tax on such neecs sarics of life as clothing doesn’t iffocl the average Georgia farmer. As it is in Georgia, so if is in every Southern Slate, and so it will continue to be.” After read ing the above, the reader will feel justified in expecting any kind of a statement from the Constitution, however silly, extravagant or ab surd it may be. It is well known to everybody that the spinning wheel and band ,-u was next in older, which wi> brim lull of good advice for the farmers of Georgia. “The North Georgia Cracker" was rendered by Maj.
