America will Respond.
1847 was the year of great fa nine
iu Ireland. 18D0 bids fair to futtnisii
a repetition. The potato’erop is a
failure. The few potatoes' made ore
fxully diseased, eating them brings on
sibkness. Unless the more fortunate
sections of the world como to her re
lief there will bo much suffering,. In
1847 ships laden with provisions wo re
sent from this country. The mer
chant prince, A. T. Stewart, at his
own expense sent the suffering pcopl c
n shipload of the accessaries of life.
Though the grain crop of America is
unusually short this year, yet the cry
of Ireland’s need will find a ready
response on this side of the Atlantic.

that the people of Georgia would :u i-
swer Air. Norwood's letter, the Ei 1-
quircr-Suu says:
“So fur as that letter is concernc- 1
the people of Georgia will reply .

The Democrats of Colauitt County
in a Muddle.
Our democratic friends in Colquitt
county are in a muddle. A large
number of democrats, who claimed
that republicans had a hand in
tie nomination, refused to go into
ths primary last week. Hon. John
A. Alderman withdrew the day before
the primary, and Air. Odum, who is
regarded as the alliance candidate,
received 207 votes. If Air. Odum
was regularly nominated by demo
cratic methods, without the interven
tion of republicans, he is entitled to
the suppoxt of the party; on the
contrary, if bis nomination was not in
accordance with democratic rules nud
methods, then the party is clearly
absolved from any obligations to sup
port him. We know nothing of the
merits of the dificrcnces, and can only
express the hope that the democrats
of Colquitt comity, true aud tried, as
they have always .been, will adjust
tho matter satisfactorily, next AVcd-
nesday, tit the general election, and
send a good man to the legislature.
Alliancemen in Congress.
E. AV. B., tho Washington corres
pondent of the Constitution, writes as
follows:
The alliance will not show up so
well in the next house as has bceu
expected.
A mouth ago it was predicted in
ninny quarters that the alliance mem
bership of the next house would not
be less than thirty, and sonic put it
as high as forty. It is, however, far
front it. There will he but fourteen
allianeeineu, Ihnt is, alliancemen who
have endorsed the sub-treasury bill,
in the next house. Of this fourteen,
live e.ome from Georgia, one from Al
abama, three from Mississippi, four
from North Carolina ami 0110 from
South Carolina.
Another County Speaks.
Here is what Dougherty county said
in convention assembled, the other

“Resolved, That we hive viewed
