Am Attempt to “Jtnlldozc” and Inliiuldatc the Sewn” For (ho first time in our journalistic career have we been tried to lie “l.nll do*l” by a clique or ring or wlmt ev er von me a mind to call it, for we have not been able to gel at the prime mov ers in the matter, was during last week, for giving expression to our opinions on flic gubernatorial question and far allow ing space in our ealumns to a communication signed “B. 0.” So terribly beset were a few of them about it, says onr friends, that they talked of and we believe tried to bold an indignation meeting. Failing in tqat. which speaks in the highest "Terms forthe intelligence and fairmind edness of the people of Butt* county, who saw the preposterousnesß of such an action, and who are willing to ac cord every man, in this free country, the right to his opinions and the man agement of iiis prirntc n/l'airs ; they insulted the dignity of one of the most intelligent Grand Jury* ever cnipan- Jielcd in Butts county., by petitioning ihemtopns* resolution* denouncing tho News for allowing the publication of a eommunicafron which we have nothing to do with more than giving place to to it, as we have done in the past, and will continue to do in future, for unlike some men and journals, we ha vc some respect fin*fairness and cour tesy to other*, and are willing to grant the privilege of expressing their views through otlr columns, however much they may conflict with our own ; and a man with ft thimble full of brains know* wo arc not responsible and will not bold ui accountable for the opin ion* of other*. Of course the Grand Jury gave it the ‘■•<iFnim>nt wan lin ing rend, each syllable-, us they were uttered from the lips of a veteran fore man fell Hat upon the ears of that in dignant body of intelligence—indig nant at being asked fir such action at their hands. The veto resounded to the petitioners and echoed to a sympathis ing people like the whoop of a frontier wafrior, reverberating from the moun tain* side to tho valley below. Tho last resort, in which they worn mic,cMful, was, influencing tho r' grid’ In withdraw his advertising from the News. In this they would hike the broad and mem from our family to gratify n personal, polities' grudge, aoj (hereby hope to perish us out and would glory in our downfall, it is useless for us to express our contempt for wach a pronciplc—suffice it to say, s large number of the peoplo of the county disapprove of it, among whomc are many friends of the sheriff. It is a policy move on the part of the Sheriff. He raid the “influence that induced him to give ns his work, the same influence was brought to bear upon him to take it away." If this l>o true, and we have no reason for doubling his voracity, wo know what that influence is. There has been various conjectures and sentiment expressed on tho action of the sheriff in this matter, by those who were loth to Indieve he could he made use of in any such a way. As to tho communication in the News lust week, we are not responsi ble for the sentiment. Neither do we indorse that part, reflecting upon Gov. Colquitt’s religions character. As to his “speech of the Bth" nod (Jen. Oar troll's contradiction, we know nothing about. This is purely a matter between It. 0., and Gov. Colquitt ; and louse the language of Judge Tripp, “a man is a fool for the want of sense” who will hold us responsible for it. We nre not to he "bulldozed" into revealing the author of communica tions ly any sort of threats. It is not customary to tell these things through mere idle curiosity in some person wanting to know. When the demand comes from tho proppor source, then we will give tho author of communi cations. W'e question no mini's right to liis political opinions and the management of his business. We are for the nominee in this cam* paigu, from Hardeman down, but rmr viHivtlimkloufl ( v, like ili.tusnnds of other good democrats, anti-Steph ens, and we think we have better r a sons for it than yon who expect to sup port him. Wo have nothing to coneesl. Tlo don’t propose to advocate one eonrso and persue another. JPe are honest in our convictions and “sink or swim live or die" wc expect to pursue the course dictated by our conscience snd wlist we conceive to lie right. Any man noting contrary to his honest con victions, in nur opinion, is not worthy of respectability, and is s traitor to him self. tPe have added s large numlair of names to our subscription list, and we expect to lose some.
