It is all the sensational newspaper
reporters can do to protect tlie repu
tation of Messrs. Hill and Stephens
as “ State Savers.” We are of the
opinion that so far as Georgia is con
cerned, neither of them arc entitled
toone iolo of credit in the matter.
The Confederate soldiers who sur
vived the memorable stuigglc be
tween the states committed to mem
ory the hideous details ot an imagi
native ghost story—told it from
house to house, and thereby created
so much alarm among the tythe-
gatherers and enemies of good gov
ernment that the cowardly collectors
vacated the country and left our
people free to govern themselves.

endorse the statement in toto, but

The citizens of Oconee county met
%o day at the Court hou-u in Wat-
kinsville, for the purpose of electing
delegates to the Gainesville nominat
ing Convent ion to lie held on August
1st next, to nominate a candidate to
represent this the 9 li Congressional
District in the 46th Congress. ’ ’
The object of the meeting was
stated by J. C. Wilson, Chairman of
the Democratic Chib of Oconee
county, in hi usual ,p Jute*! and con
cise manlier.
The meeting being regularly <»r
ganized and reg^-Jor-. .btuinen*-
Col. R. M. Jackson offered the fol
lowing resolut'ons which were unani
mously adopted:
Whereas,There is a certain party
iu the 9th Congressional District en
deavoring to disintegrate and over
throw the organized Democracy ot
said Disti ic't, an 1 thereby destroy or
so we: ken the Democratic party!
that the offices of said Distiict will
again tall into the hands ot the Ridi-
cal party, but r cntly so obnoxious
to all love s of free government,
therefore.
Resolved, That we do enter o r
solemn protest agaiust,the course the
Independent paity has taken in said
Di.-lri“«. md do ear e.-tljr-nrg** every
Democrat in the county, and throngh-
vit the lli-lriet, <-v* rv '• v of a
good Government, and every one
who woii’il ave the Di-triet and in
the future keep it out of the hands of
that party but. r c*nt>y so obnoxious,
to stand firmly by the Democratic
party and keeps strictly organized.
Resolved, That we do etc 3 d< li
gates and 3 alternates to go to the
Distiict Convention .o be b id in
Gainssviile, it August next, for the
purpose of selecting a proper and
suitable p rs>m a- a candidate for
Congress at the ensuing election.
fallibility of tbe human mind, mid of
my own in particular, with a respect
for the accumulated judgment of my
friends, has induced me to su-jiect
erroneous impressions in myself, to
suppose my own opinion wrong, and
to aet with them in theirs. The
want of this spirit of compromise, or
of self-distrust, proudly but falsely
called independence, is whjit gives
tbe Federalists victories which they
could never obtain ii these brethren
could leaiii to respect the opinions of
their lrieiids'morc than cf their ene
mies, and prevents many able and
honest nit-ik from doing all the good
they otherwise might d >. I state
these considerations beau e they
have often quieted my own con*
science in voting a id acting on the
judgement of others ag ainst uiy own ;
and because they ni.ij -uggest
doubts to } ourself in the pre.ent
ease. Our executive an 1 legislative
authorities :.ro the c’mice of the na
tion, and possess tin* nation’.- confi

has deliberately viewed the strange
company into which it may be led

ceived by itself.
