If a man is a Republican because h'get* the Republican vote, nnd works for it, what is the character of Senator Brown's and Gov. Colquitt's Dsmooracy? In thi* connection the Camming Clarion says: "The facts show that there was oo nomination made by either wing for gov ernor, but both wing# prefer Gen Gsrttcll to Mr. Stephana, and therefore commend him to the support of their friends. Tbe resolution# speak for themselves, and th* effort to mialead the people by an attempt to create false impresaious will fc ’* purpose.

IXogntisvIlle, Auoust 15.—Soma time has intervened since oar lost- Sorry tbet^ cirenmj * the dote earlier. We were so maeh ed at the action of th* gubernatorial con vention (the majority part), that we left our quiet abode, and sought pleasure in an atmosphere where no politios existed, among tbe gaysttae of the gay. We, In oompany with oar "flaxen haired” M.

A want of space prevents ns from writing all 1 atd conviction of a certain young man (whose whereabouts the Sulphur Spring* people are better acquainted) charged with lunacy. The prosecution was represented by Hoc. 1. Wire, of Macon, solicitor pro tern, and the defense by lb* Duke, the lion. Michael Dt-Lacy. The ease waa presided over by OoL Probody. an eminent lawyer of Col umbos, who, after making a few preliminary remarks, sounded the ease, and tbe depressed young man stood up and pleaded not guilty. The jury wm comiiosed of twelve ladies, whose face* demonstrated tbo fact that they hod a deep interest in the matter they were about to pose upon. As three of the jury were married ladies the Duke made objtction, but after argument it was withdrawn, the oourt remarking at th* time that be would certainly have ruled the motion, so the case pro- id, and several witnesses of the fair sex were introduced, whose evidence sry clearly that tbe defendant was mu had bnt few lucid intervals. Crino having an encmpmeBt just at this stag* of tbe trial, had to leave the eoort room and make a hasty toilet for a drive, and hecce d‘d not bear tbe evidenoe for tbe defense. However tbe young man waa found guilty, and tbe court erdored that bis horse and buggy be confiscated to pay cost and the Duke's fee, and that tbe young man pass the remainder of his aad existence as a pedestrian oo the sands of ms. Tbs next eventful occurrence was con nected mainly with oar "flaxen haired” D.

Thai . true Democrats in Georgia that will not vote for governor this year. Conventions have no right to compromise the party. Bnoreaa Haxcocx, of the Sumter Repub lican, rises ta make there remarks to an old bachelor contemporary: "The Marion County Argue mentions a musical prodigy, in Marion oounty, iu tit* person of Master James, four or five veers old, who can slog correctlv any song he may bear.

We recog nize fully ita demoralizing effect upon tbe young and Ita deleterious influence upon all daases. We would like to are a grand temperance reform all over the country, and we believe that such a reformation will sooner or later take place. We are opposed, however, to making "wet or dry” an tasoe in eoaaty, State or national poli tics. U U not proper or reasonable to ask a candidate to bear the burden of such a contest Our opinion is, and ere have been asked to give it, that should the people of a county desire tig passage of a prohibi tory law, a vote should be taken on that question alone, and when no other i ar* before them; or it might be prop bring it before the Legislature in the of a petition signed by th* people. We are opposed to mixing this issue with any other.

Ir it ta right for Mr. Stopl,euv to receive the recommendation of the Independents, the Jackson Herald oacnot see why it ta wrong for General Gartrell not to reject the support of th* Republicans. We have never ye: known a candidate to grow an gry because of Republican support—not even In the8th district,whore it has not been unusudt fer Republicans to vote for Demo crats. Th* Jackson Herald makes tbe follow- ing timely observations: " W# will notify tbo candidate* who are in the field in this county for the Legislature, that they had as well oome out and say wbat they think about tha United States Senatorship. Our people will be satisfied with any suitable man outside of Colquitt.” Ths South Carolina platform shows statesmanship in every line, while the Georgia concern looks like it emanated from a cross-roads debating society.—Joe*, son Herald. Brother Howard ta not too revere in his criticism on the Georgia pintforir.-haildere, bat we thiak he does great injustice to tbe "cross-roads debating society." We have never known any such society to attemid to palm off on the pub- Ho any such work as the platform of ths late convention.
