Mr Emory Speer must have been in some very disastrous and sanguin ary battles during the war, as he seems to be the only survivor of his company or command at least in this District or this portion of the coun ty. In the last issue of the Southron, it is hard to tell whether that paper is strongest in its praise and defense of ex-Governor Bullock, or in its advocacy of Speer as the Indepcn dent candidate for Congress from this distoict. •Some of Mr. Speer’s Jackson coun ty frieuds were over in Gwiunett last week trying to “ whoop up ” the in dependent movement. Mr. Speer failed to meet them, and one at least of the party left thinking the inde pendent road a hard road to travel Hursah for Gwinnett.—Gwin nett county, says the Herald, will giie Billups one thousand majority.

Smith Clayton, Speer’s political Editor of tlie Watchman is from Atlanta, but Pete Lawshe is a Yan kee nil the way irom Mineesota.

This is a matter that should receive the thoughtful consideration of our peopl--, that they might satisfactorily determine whether all of this is a kindness or an insult to them.

In urging the voters of the 5th District to support the nominee, and in further urging theimpoitnn.ee of party organization, he remaiked as follows It is going .to call into action the organized efforts of thin country If you efuse »o act with the Democratic partv you fight it, ami if you put yourself against it you weaken the par ty to that extent.

In the better days of the Republic and when politics was ata higher standard thau now, if we remember •right, the United States SeuAjprs," whenever the interest of the parties thus honoring them demanded it, were ever ready and sure to be in the field of labor, in bcl alfof their respec tive parties. Why not now ? Can it be that our Senators Gordon and Hill consider their re-election paramount to tho success of the Democracy, and are too timid to enter the field during the Congressional campaigns this fall ? In six out of niue Congressional Dis tricts, independents have already an nounced their candidacy and are ac tively at work seeking to disorganize and disintegrate the Democratic party, and we have hut little doubt that such will soon be the case in-olTof the districts. \\ ith the Independent and Greenback movements, su-lfthied and encouraged c s they are by jpiqJiepub- lican party, with the hojie nTdiafogim- king and tjbl^aticg *rite ^cNffey, certainly there never was a time in our political existence, when the in- M0SS & THOMAS, Cottoi Factors & Gqmhissibh Merchaits, Clayton St., Athens, Ga.

Advocate your views with your lcllowecitizens, but go to the ballot-box like men. and tell everybody else to go. It Don’t Look Well. But a short while s-ince Mr. Emory Speer as a true, earnest Democrat was giving II. P. Farrow arid the liailieal party “hail Columbia.’’ But now he has changed his tactic*. The hatchet has been burned, Farrow and Speer are now hand and glove, and Emory in his unceasing and unrelenting warfare upon the Democratic party hopes lo beat it out the 5th of November next, through the aid of Farrow and the Radical party. Well this may be taken by some as good evidence of a true Democrat, but really we cant so see it. At any rate while we would not call Mr. Speer or many of his fol lowing Radicals, yet we must say this kind of political tactics don’t look well in a true Jeffcjsonian Dem ocrat. tere.-t < f party and country so irenera- lively demanded that evei v true Dem ocrat should he at his post, eji f aud doing. Again, is it not the duly of our Senators to go out among the peo ple and give an account of'their stewardship ? The field is invitiug and the harvest abundant, aud we see r.o rood reason why Senators Gordon and Hill should not nt once step to the front and hare their "ims'for the success of the party, which u- so hon ored them, and alone through the suc cess of which, the country'tuny hope u sure and speedy return to pound gov ernment, and they a continuance in high and honored positions Their great power and iafiueiic* throughout the State would go far towards solidifying and keeping in thorough organization the Democracy, for a glorious and overwhelming vie torv in November next, aud hdd new lustre to their already honored names. If these gentlemen have good and valid reasons lor their silem e at this the time of the paity’s and the coun try’s great need, we trust ^either they or some one in an attitude to ascertain their reasons will give them to the public for the benefit of an anxious and expectant jieople. ' It is a curious coincidence in poli tics that the Democratic majority it) the Senate in 1860, when the seces sionists withdrew to start the rebellion, was about the same numerically as ft will be when the Democracy again come into power at thp £0d of more than half a generation, fh that Sen- ate the Democrats had a majority of eleven. The assurance of this approaching change of power b|a stimulated the ardor of the noble ariny of Democratic office seekers, whose eyes aro now longingly turned to the fleshpots oi the Senate. They cry out loudly for an immediate occupation of the well paid places and s&ng sinecures now held by stalwart Republicans. Im patient for possession, they are unwil ling to wait the natural order of events and to succeed to these offices at the j regular session of Congress on the first Monday of December, . 1879. T' e { next session will expire on the fourth j of March, and with it the fortyfifih I Congress. Therefore, unless the Sen ate can be convened before the meet ing of new Congress, the present offi cers of that body will hold over for nine months. It is this prospect which darkens ihe vision and stirs indignation of thousands of patriots anxious to serve j their country in the employ of the Senate. They look upon the possi bility of these nine months of posses sion by the enemy as the greatest dan ger which the experiment of free insti- tutions has to encounter.

It is due our- -elves to say, that so far as regards Judge Garrison lie has all the while declared that should we be '’omina- u-d lie would give u, hi- unqualified support, but should another man In- nominated he should certainly vole for Mr. Speer as, with him, it w:i- only a matter ot personal friendship.

Ilis war re cord, were it necessary to bring that before tlie people, is as good as any man’s in Richmond county. Judge Snead was a practicing attorney bes fore bis appointment to his present position, and ranks among the lead ing lawyers of this Circuit for learn ing aud success. His friends feel confident of his election before tbc Legislature, ns he has a strong local backing and the support of some of the leading men and papcis in various portions of the Slate. That Judge Snead would make a good presiding officer of this Circuit, Republicans have lost Senators in Ala bama, Arkansas. California, Florida, Ohio, Oregon, and South Carolina, which deducted from their' present strength would leave them thirty-two, and which added to the thirtyrsix Democrats wculd give that party forty-three, or eleven majority, as above stated.
