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. net*.

The Republican journals North, are claiming that Mr. Stephens’ elec tion in the Eighth will be a Republi can victory. We are net inclined to endorse the statement in toto, but will vein lire iho assertion that the Grant R. publicans would rejoice over the result. A number of our Congressmen were so anxious ,o eel back home for the purpose *>f controling the elec tions in their behalf that sever il of them voted with the Republicans on mailtrs of \i a! importance to the country, rather than take the risk of a prolonged session.—“ Sich is life.” Any person knowing of the where abouts of the children of Gen.

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 dence. They . re chosen h realise they possess i', and the recent elec lions prove it h .s not been abated by the attacks wliicli have tin* some trine been kept up against them. If tin mea.-ur< s uhicb have been pursued are approved by the m j >ri v, i i- the duty of the minority :o aeqaie-cc and c-nform. I: is tru<\ indei- l, that d'sseit.ienl.s have a right to go over to the minor'll v and to act with t’ cm. But I d*> not believe your iiiind iia- c-n tcmp'ated that course; tiiat it has deliberately viewed the strange company into which it may be led step by step, unintended and unper ceived by itself. ** The example of John Randolph is a caution to all honest and prudent men to sacrifice a little of sell confi dence. and to go witn their friends, although they may sometimes think Notnitiatii n« now being iu order, I they are going wrong.

Stand by Your Colors —Speak ing of the coming Congressional canvass in that district, the Enquirer Hun utters this axiomatic truth. A free race may be gratifying to per sonal ambition, but it is ruinous to party organization. It is by this that the Democracy has ruled—by adherence to strict discipline—that Radicalism has beeu driven from the land. Better bear tbe ills we have than fiy to those we know not of.
