Books of coupons ; arc sold by the Stale Auditor to alt liquor dealers. When a drink is a dd, the consumer receives a coupon, which entitles him to receive from! the State, iu payment of his taxes, one cent. If two drinks are to be paid for, he receives an orange-color- eeed to select by ballot six delegates and six alternates to represent Gwin nett county in the approaching Con gressional Convention, and tnat said delegates go unpledged to any as pirant and without instruction. Resolved, That the Democracy of Gwinnett will stand by the organiza- i lion of the party, and we hereby ! pledge ourselves to give to the nomi nee a hearty support. Mr. Peeples, in support of his substitute, stated that it was not offered in the interest of Bell or Carlton, but of harmony in the party. He regarded the success of the party in this campaign n9 of more impor tance than the success of any indi vidual. He held that no man in the district had any claim on the party, but that the Convention should bo free to select the most available man, od coupon good fir t wo cent-. If five drinks, a blue paper good lor j w jihout bring hampered by instruc- five cents. Not only does the State j tu. „;.i, enjoy an income from the tax on drinks, but the consumer has n rea sonable chance of paying off taxes with coupons. DEMOCRATIC MEETING. In pursuance of a call from the Chairman of the Executive Commit tee, a meeting was this doy held at the Court-house in Lnwrenceville. The meeting was called to order by Col. Hutchins, who explained that j tion upon the ground that a commit the object was to send delegate s to ; tee of one man from each district tions. That with harmonious action at Gainesville, success was assured but if the Convention engaged in wrangle, each delegation refusing to yield its favorite, the result would be bad blood that would drive many to • lie support of the independent ticket. That he thought this meeting could select, six good men who eould be trusted to act for the best interest of the party without being pledged to any particular candidate. He opposed Maj. Simmon’s resolu- and pledge our.earnest support to the nominee of the forthcoming Gaines ville Convention. Resolved, That we do new take the senso of this meeting by a rising vote, expressive of our preference as between the aspirants for the nomi nation ; and thereupon a delegation shall be appointed with correspond ing views. Col. Winn, in support of his sub stitute, deprecated the division which had been manifested in the meeting. He insisted that those who did not intend to support the nominee should not participate. That a resolution should be adopted, binding} all who voted to abidtr the action of tliq con vention. He thought that this sub stitute could be supported by every man in the house who intended to act with the party. Mr. Peeples accepted Mr. Winn’s substitute in lieu of his. R. D. Winn then withdrew his resolution. Col. Hutchins culled the previous ques tion, and insisted on the adoption of the Simmon’s resolutions. . Maj. Wian made the point that, ;is the original resolutions bad hcen with drawn, that carried with it all the amendments aud substitutes. Alter considerable wrangle and confusion, the point was sustained. Maj. Sim mons then offered the resolutions ns an original proposition, aitd Col. Winn proposed his as a substitute. The vote being taken on the substi tute, stood, yeas 24, nays 28. The substitute being defeated, the resolutions were adopte d. And the meeting proceeded to ballot with the following result: Bel! 25, Carlton SI.

Wc has for so long been preying upon the vitals, and gradually and secretly, yet surely and effectually working ravage and destruction upon the interests of the University.
