Select'your Best Jiaii. ‘
The-time’is rapidly approaching when
the people'of Georgia will be dulled up
on to make selection of men to repres
‘sent.their interest in sd/ercM’ conven- .
tion’. The meeting that is to’ take place
on the.-1 tli Wednesday in October next, j
dno ordinary one. It is very different
.from conventions u.-uaky assembled for
attending to business whiob tho .change
irig v/au’ls of *the State may have .requir
ed. ’Never ,in the history of Georgia,
was tho exercise of in ore -wisdom, sagae
'• iry aud states uiahs hip u o'ces ? ary.M en
who are .cap’ahio of- rising above passion
and prejudice, and all cons id oral ion-s ci ]
pelt*, men of clear heads and- honest j
hearts should be selected. The nndigi *
j'iiiled- scrambling- and. strife for office j
which has .characterized political contests
.in times past should be discountenanced.
**The office should seek tlie man, not the
mad the.office’/ ’ It will n'ot .do, on this.;
occasion, to • regard trie desire of any j
.man; or Qvcii to consider his past polit- j
c.il career but the - question should be, !
tv.hu is ablest, wisest and mos'fsuited for j
the .great work the convention will be !
called upon, to’ .perform. According as j
the fitness, for the work- shall be fo.und i
’ greatest, the seLctioii should be made,
■aud it should be made witfi the greatest
unanimity. There ‘are no parties in j
Georgia now —none whatever.
. Every member -of the convention ;
shouM desire-'for Georgia,- the position
she heretofore occupied among her sis_
fer. States of the Union —a- position of
sovereignty-, where her voice was heard
and’ felt in the councils of the nation. •
‘ When once the machinery of the j
State government is in motion, tho task
will be comparitivelyeasy to regulate it.
But’the duty of the convention wall be
to originate the machinery itself, and to’
adapt it’ to the great changes that have
taken place in our social organization.—
As the establishment of our State policy
will depend upon the convention-, the
• importance of.the work, and the charac
ter of the men best calculated to-, serve
the people- are apparent. Then let us
■determine to bury all personal feeling
of anuhosity or prejudice, and bring, to
• bear the exercise of calm judgment in

A Frenchman, resolved to be rid of.
life;- went a little before high tide to a
post setup by the seaside. • He had pro
-vided himself with a ladded, a pistol, a
bundle of matches, and a vial of prison.
Ascending the ladder* he tied one end
of the. rope to the post,- and the other
end around’ his-neck ;.’ then, lie’ took the’
• poison, set his clothes do fire; pul the
•muzzle •of ’the pistol’ to his-head and
kicked away ‘ the ladde’c/1 In kicking
down the ladder, he slunifcd the pistol
so that; the bail’ misAJtl his head arid
cut through the . rope- by which he was
suspended ; he fell into the sea, thus ex
•tinguishing ’ the flames of his clothing,
and the. sea water, which he involuntary
• ly swallowed, counteracted the poison,,
and thus, in spite of his precautions he
remained unhanged, unshot unpoisoned,
and drowned.
