We are satisfied that we cannot too
earnestly urge the people of the 2nd
Congressional District to meet in Con
vention, at a very early day, at some
convenient and appropriate plnce. We
-would prefer their meeting at Albany,
at the time specified in our call (Thurs
day, 10th inst., Bpm) It was hero,
w« think, at the last District Conven
tion, that an impetus was giver, to tho
• ball which made it roll so heavily
iigainst tho Radicals in the last elec-'
- tion, and culled forth loud huzzas for
Southwestern Georgia. Let us meet
hero again; and wc will eflect an or
gan zation that will at least double tho
Democratic majority of the 2nd Dis
ttict, wlii’e its influence will be felt to
mu uttermost parts of the State. It is
iiecessary to have county meeting*
, lft A ;ipp(.iut delegates. Let all those
who fee' on interest in the welfare of
the State a.nd .country, come along and
consult and oi-j$WM&e Wt feel so san
g,iliac of success in the next conflict,
that we think we Ciih ju'ipiro l ljppe and

Fixing for the Capitol.
Twelve hand* commenced work on
the city Ball yesterday, in charge of
Messrs Langley & Robinson. The
upper rooms oi the Hal! are to be en
larged so as to make two comfortable
rooms for the Senate and House. The
City Council have decided to make
this temporary arrangement lor the
meeting ot the Legislature, as they
could not in bo short a time make any
very extended arrangements. When
•the Leg : slature assembles and they
find out what will be required, thty
will comply with all promises made

For the Diwson “Jourral."
Atlanta, Ga , Way 25, 1868.
Ms. Editob :—lt U perhaps unnec
essary to inform you that 1 am an old
ironclad D mocrat, if the Jeffersonian
school. Ito satisfied that the demo
cratic party are right in nil of their
ptiociples, and tbit, if this country is
ever saved from utter min, it will only
be consummated through democratic or
ganiz it ions throughout the whole coun
try- The Presidential campaign is upon
us—this it destined to become a heated
one The Chicago Convention has al
ready hoisted the name r f Grant and
Colfax. The Radical party have great
confidence in the success of tbeir cham
pions. Perhaps, Grant, with bis "tear
honors,’ backed up with his trhlskry
proclivities, may make a respectable
race for the Presidential chair; but, as
to bia ever reaching the destined goal,
it is beyond the probabilities. With
Pendleton, the wise and pure States
man, as our democratic standard bearer,
and Ilanoock, the brave soldier and un
flinching advocate for the Vice Presi
dency, our success is certain, and a glo
rious future may yet come upon the
whole country.
It must he admitted, that the coun
try ia now in possession of the Radical
party. They have charged npon the
democrats the ruin of the Government,
and as we have failed to elect to offieo
men of oar own stripe, we now commit
to their charge the management of the
machinery of the Government. While
I do not agree with them in the sweep
ing charges made against the democratic
party of destroying the Government;
and willing to admit all they claim for
the success of tbeir party organizations
and the tiinmph of tbeir principles, it
affords the utmost pleasure in remind
ing them that the responsibilities cf this
great country now rests upon tbtir
shoulders : and some twenty five or tbir- ■
ty million* of people will hold their
party accountable for the result—if they
fail they are doomed to eternal infamy
and disgrace. To succeed, they must
admit all the States into the Union
fall representation in Congress—release
the people from the oppressive taxes
which aro upon them, and crushing the
Ist vestige ot industry and energy
among an already depressed people, and
repeal the obnoxious and odious ‘iron
clad oath," with such improvements in
the machinery of our Government, there
might, ’at least, be wmo prolability
that the South could be induced to be
come reconciled to universal suffrage—
however objectionable this feature in
tbe Republican programme may be to
their prior sensibilities. A course of
this kind may secure the success of tbeir
party ; but, if an opposite be adopted,
it mast end in confusion among the peo
ple, and ultimately produce a revolution
before unknown upofi tbe American
eontinont.
The perplexirg question of ncyro suf
frage, which now distracts the people of
the South, is one of great interest, and
is the source of much controversy ; but,
it will hive to be conceded upon all
bands, that the negro is now free —that
according to a general law, he is evi
denily a citizen, and so reoognined. If,
then, be is a ci'xen and free, it follows,
as a matter ts course, that he is enti
tled to certain inalienable rights, which
are guarantied to the t chile fret citizens
of the eouotry. More tbau this he need
oot expect—more than this he can nev
er attain to. Wbile I am not advoca
ting the principles of negro suffrage, or
Ats right to the ballot-box, yet, I con
tend, that in tbo very nature of things,
so long as you impose upon bim tbe re
sponsibilities of paying taxes, and be is
amenable to military duty, and all
the .obligations to the Government of
any ottl'or oitizeo, then it is right and
just that he should participate in and
enjoy all thi' ««l political privi
leges of other frt?men. Socially, the
negro cannot beco.’ nc c o ua l the
white man—God baJ ,« ade Lini ot a
difforent texture—he > 8 different in
form, color, and in all the 4 nh,ysiologieal
developments of his organlzati 0L —these
are features which cannot, either
through education or social interco.’ MSe >
undergo a change. Yet, the negro h. ,s
mind sufficient, when properly cultiva
ted, to enable bim to draw conclusions
and decide correctly upon most of the
issnes which now interest the country.
And,.however humiliating it may be to
the prido of those who have heretofore
looked npom him in a very different j
light, his present moral and political
status has inaugurated another feature
in nor political drama, which requires
our immediate attention as n people.— !
We eannot escape the djlejspia which
onr former circumstances have thrown
around ns. And now, what are oar con
clusions 7 How oan we solve this great
problem, which may in future involve
the permanency of tbe Government of
the United States 7 My impression is,
there can be but one answer—but one
conclusion—tbe right of tbe ballot-box
must he petered to all men alike. In
th>. the negro will feel that he has sd
equal participation In the management
of the Government with that of others,
and, tjius be will become stimulated to
cultivate bis intellect, and pieparc him
self to exercise tbe franobisc in a man
*
ncr most conducive to the b.st interest,
of all concerned. Let u« so direct the
future in relatict to tbe colored raoe in
this country, as to convince them that
tbe siuthern people ire their true
friends—that they feel the deepest in-!
tercet in their future welfare—that the
Sunny South is a climate peculiarly 1
adapted to tbeir prosperity and happi
ness, and there need be no fears as to
the future of the colored race in tbisj
country. Eventually, through proper i
training, they will become, msoy of
them, prosperous and happy, and they j
and their white neighbors will thrive
and propper together, without one rip- I
pic to mar their peace’ A proper res-j
pect for neeeesary distinctions, which
govern all societies, will be kept upatj
all times, and all this clap-trap jargon
about “< quality of the races, social in
tercourse,” and a thousand other non
sensical conjectures of evil politicians
will disappear before the withering torch
of sober roaii ias, and stamp. man
with intamy who may attempt to advo
cate principles so foreign to common
senic and reason, for the purposo of ex
oiting the prejuoiocs of the ignorant to
consumate party organizition?.
AN OPINION.
Decline of Hie Negro Popula
tion.
The negro population of Georgia is
traveling with giant strides towards
total extietion, says the Macon
Journal & Messenger. So rapid is the
decline, even those living among it oan
ses the decrease vtry plainly. At the
close of the war all restraints imposed
upon servants by virtuous masters were
withdrawn, and the freedmen and tbe
freedwomen left at perfect liberty to do
as they pleased. This quickly resulted
—it was astonishing how quick—in al
most universal lewdness. It is a world
known fact that no race ever yet in
creased and fl urished which did not
rightly inculcate and enforce, by the
power of public opinion, the strictest
virtue. Tbe negro, as a race, cares
nothing for this, and only practiced in
tbe days of bondage habits of mortality
because he. was forbidden indulgence
in vice.
No one now secs one negro infant to
twenty tpn yerrs age. Instead of the
especial emisaries sent among them by
Northern fanatical associations teaching
them habits of virtue, they join with
them in lewdness, and, by tbeir exam
(le, lead many of them on the road of
ruin. Tbo white people of the South
have, in a measure, lost eontol of this
population. Their former functions
have been assumed by strolling, irre
sponsible men and women wbo bad bad
reputations at home, and who fiod
among this simple minded race a deli
cious field to practice their operations.
They arc rapidly destroying the raco
pernicious precept and example.
A few years will ouly have elapsed
bcfi.ro they will not be felt at tbe polls.
Improvident aud irregular in their hab
its, gluttonous in their diet., devouring
improper food, negheted in sickness,
mortality is prevailing among all ages
to a far greater rxtent than any one
dreams of. There are planters who us
ed to own five hundred,-who do not
now knew of the existence of one hund
red of the number. Had they not been
freed, that family would to-day number
at least seven hundred. The idea that
they cither live better or have more
freedom dow than they used to, is sim
ply rediculons. They neither get the
amout to cat, drink or wear
To one born and reared among them,
and who saw them in better days—days
when they were a thousand limes more
happy than they are now—tbe dissolv
ing view of this black phantom is curi
cudy interesting, and equally instruc
tive. It shows bow beavcß sometimes
create fanatical zeal and phylanthropy
for a people.for the purpose of destroy
ing them. Assum'Dgthe foim of friend

the mere easy and certain ; and the

Wheat.—The impr«>.esion among

better yield of wheat in this section,
than was anticipated a short time .since.

for the patp two weeks, which bad a

subscriber offers to farmers through
JL out the country the
EGYPTIAN CORN,
Which, upon trial, was found to ripen, plant
ed euu the last of July. It is estimated,
from its very prolific qualities, to yie and 150
bushels per acre, and weighs, by sealed meas
ure, 65 pounds to the bushel. This - com was
produced from some pioeureddirect from Mr.
Jones, our Consular Agent, directly on his
return from Egypt.
It needs no different culture from that of
other vaiietit-s, and in the Uouth two crops
can be raised in one season on the same
ground. It grows in the form of a tree; and
thirty-four cars have grown npon one stalk,
and will average from five to lilteen. For do
mestic use it is unparalleled. When ground
and properly bolted, it is equal in color and
fineness to wheaten flour. Asa forage crop,
by sowing in drills or broadcast, for early
feed, there is no kind of corn so well adapt
ed to milch cows, and none that will yield
half the value in stalk or corn.
It can be succisafully grown in any 3ta’e.
I give tbe most eathfaciory references that
the corn is, in every respect, what 1 represent
it to be ; and further, lam the only person
throughout the country who has this variety
of com. Having secured a q> utility; lam
now able to fill all ordeis far those desirous
of Letting it.
TERMS ;
In order that all may receive reed, we have
reduced the price to $1 50 a package. Any
person who will get up a club of five will re
ceive a package gratis. Fifteen packages
$10; fifty packages for s'2o ; ont hundred
packages for S3O. One package will contain
enough to plant the following season from
twenty to thirty aces; also, directions for

We call atieDtion of publishers to the fol
lowing indorsements ol the press :
F. K. G. Lindsey has an ear of
his “Egyptian Corn,” heretofore advertised
incur paper. The car is about the size of
Indian maize, aud has a solid gram. A lady
who raised some of it last year sends us a
certificate, stating that the saw some that
had not bean plowed—it was sow n broad
cast —that produced twelve years to the
stalk. —Abiwjton Virginian
Eotptian corn. — V. E. G. Lindsey, of Ab
ington, (.Va., has the genuine “Figyptian
Corn,’ with which a great many farmers ate
delighted. This is anew corn to the country
and has many merits that do not appertain
to other breadstuff's. If will ripen as far
north as Boston, even when planted by the
last of July. On rich land it will yield 150
bushels to the acre, and weighs pounds
to the bushel ; at and for domestic use it ia un
paralleled. It resembles flour, and contains
95 percentum of nutriment mailer. In tbe
South two crops a year can be sown. A
package can be bad of Lindsey for $1 50.

Eotptian Corn. —ln another column ap
pears the advertisement ol the Egyptian Corn.
It is something new for this section, and is
worthy of attention. Mr. Pi ice of our office,
is personally acquainted with Mr. I.iudsey,the
proprietor, aud will vouch for the statements
made. lie has seen tho corn grow, and thinks
it would prove a success in We tin Missou
ri. Try ir..— Clinton j.l/o). Advocate, Nov.

Advertisements. —We direct Fpeeal atten
t'on to the advertisement of Mr. Lindsey’s
! Corn. Mr. Lit s,-y refeis the farmers of this
section of the Sla'e to Judge J. W. Suvens,
of this place. IVe hope that our L rmers will
send for a few hundred packages, and give it
atrial. We are opposed to risking money
on Yankee tricks, hut in this instance we
have every reason to believe that the Egpyc
iau Corn is just tvbat it is represented to be
by Mr. Lindsey.— Uniuh (Eieiui, Mia.,)

KavgrirN Corn. —Several months sioce
we intorupod our readers of the prolific qaal
itios of the Egypiian Oprn. It surpasses all
anticipations, and is just the article needed
in this country. To think that an acre of
laud can yield 150 bushels ol good corn, and
particulaily wheu two crops can be gathered
in a year, seems to he so exagemted that it
rc quires the many iudoi semen is of the press
in gentrai, and the best and most reliable
aien in Virginia to give ft full belief.
We have i«,eived some of the coin from
Mr- Liudaey. The tamplc is a beautiful one.—
