were but two names before the Convention,
Messrs. Johnson of Murray, and Crawford of
Cass, and that after the 8th ballot Mr. Craw
ford’s name was withdrawn and Mr. Johnson
nominated by acclamation. Mr. Johnson is a
gentleman-well qualified to fill the office, and
•s far as we have heard, the action of the Con
vention has given general satisfaction.
Mr. Hanks has also annonneed himself an
independent candidate for that office—as will

Judge Wright’s Letter.
In to-day’s paper will be found a letter from
Hon., A* B- Wright, Representative in Con
gress from this District—the object of which is
; to sfet himself right upon his late Douglas let
ter.- ‘We ngree fully with the Atlanta Intelli
gencer when it says:
“We have great respect for Judge Wright,
his honesty and integr.ty, but we cannot con-
- scientiousl.v approve his present course, and
At the same time promote, as we are humbly
endeavoring to do, the honor and welfare of
the South, and the rectitude of the Democratic
organization.”
By reference to this letter it will be seen
that Judge Wright denies the charge made
against him, of attemptirg nr assisting to
make a Douglas party in Georgia. As this pa-
per made the charge, we cheerfully publish his
lettei, explaining his position ; it was not our
intention to misrepresent his position, and
therefore very willingly give his letter the ben
efit of onr circulation.
We thinlt it is time for all Southern men to
let the “Jittle giant ” slide. They should not
forget his Freepoit speech, delivered on the
27th of,August, last, in which he declared that
the people of a territory, while a territory, can.
by lawful means, exclude slavery before the
formation of a State constitution.
Messrs. Toombs and Stephens.
Some of- our brethren of the Democratic
press and their correspondents seem to think
that we have done Messrs. Tnnmh* and Ste-
pheos gross injustice in charging them with
attempting to make a D.-uglas party in Geor
gia—placed them m a position they do not Oc
cupy—charged them with holding opinions
they do not entertain—and that our course is
calculated to create dissensions in the party.
&•>. If we have misrepresented the position of
those gentlemen, we willingly and cheerfully
withdraw the charge—if we hare misrepresent
ed, them, it was done unintentionally. We
would hot knowingly misrepresent tiie posi-
' tfotr of any man, and when satisfied that we
. hare done so, shall never hesitate for a mo
ment to make the amende honorable. We
thought the signs of the times justified making
the charge, and did not hesitate to do what
we considered our duty—but ns the charge is
denied by those who occupy a position to be
better mformed, we have nothing further to

principles of the Democracy enunciated

Resolved, 2d, That we fully endorse and
approve the policy and administration of
Joseph E. Brown, Governor, in his man

so that the legal profession may be able to j to the earnest consideration of those who
perform their duties to their clients, and

As it is, the regularly authorized edition
of the laws for distribution, seldom ap
pears until months after the laws them
selves have been in operation. The only
way to remedy the difficulty that we can
see, is to advertise each law, as it is pas
sed and signed, once in each newspaper
published in the State. By this means
the whole body of the laws will be bro’t
annually into the posession of the people
at large. The cost of such a plan will be
something; but we feel confident that ev
ery man will feel perfectly willing to be
taxed for the support of a measure from
which he will be constantly deriving so
much benefit.
As it is a matter which concerns tho
press, as well as the people, will editors
throughout the State please to make men
tion of the matter in their columns, and
press the subject on the attention of the
Senators and Representatives of their
counties ?—Rome Southerner.

quarters and me nevspa
per offices, anxious to ascertain tbe re
sult. Processions were formed in many
of the wards, and, headed with music,
paraded through the city, cheering at
different points. Up to a late hour the
city was the scene of much excitement.
In the first Congressional district tbe
«ote stood, Florence, Democrat, six thou
sand one hundred and eighty-six; Ryan,
“ peoples,” five thousand six hundred
and ninety-three; Nebinger. Independ
ent Democrat, two thousand one bun
dred and fifteen ; Broom, American, in
the fourth district, polled two hundred
and fifty-two votes. The American can
didate for Sheriff polled three hundred
and thirty-seven votes.
The Republicans have elected their
candidate for Slate Senator, John II.
Parker, and a majority of their Assem
blymen. So far as known, Smith, Quig
ley, Wharton and Evans are the only
Democratic Assemblymen elected out
of the seventeen districts in the city.
The Democrats lose two members of
Gongress in the city—the third and
fourth districts.
The partisan papers, of course, assign
various reasons for the refult. Forney’s
Press thinks it was brought about hy
“ Leccmpton.” It adds, however:
But this result is not only attributable
te the uprising of the people against
the betrayal of their representatives and
the gross desertion of the popular prin
ciple by the chief magistrate of the Re
public; but it is, at the same time, a
tribute to Pennsylvania feeling, and to
that idea which is cherished hy all our
people—that of protection to American
industry.
The Pennsylvanian. (Dem.) contends
that Lecoinoton and Kansas had noth-
ihg to do with it. ■ The tariff, it says did
the business.
The North American (Rep.,) claims
the result as a general rebuke of the Na
tional Administration, and adds:
Republicans, Americans, Democrats.
Whigs, and others, equally patriotic, of
different organizations, united heartily
and honestly with us on this occasion,
and to each and all belong the credit of
tbe moral victory whieh has beet) a-
chieved.
equally common to all nations. Nor do
they claim to interfere with the local gov
ernments in the determination of the ques
tions connected with the opening of the
routes, and with the persons with whom
contracts may be made for that purpose.
What they do desire—and mean to ac
complish—is that the great interests in
volved in this subject should not be sacri
ficed to any unworthy motive, but should
be guarded from abuse; and that when
contracts are fairly entered into with A-
merican citizens they should not be wan
tonly violated. Other nations will no
doubt pursue the same course in relation
to their citizens or subjects who may have
similar interests.”
As well and as strongly put as this is,
the following is still hetter:
“The United States believe it to be
their duty—and they mean to execute it

not altogether justifiable. From whatever
cause the postponement may have occurred,
we are gratified that the time for a reck

der the auspices of the present Adminis-

vindicated. Our readers will recollect that

The sterile, under the magic wand of in
dustry directed by intelligence, becomes
fruitful ; streams irrigate arid wastes,
and flowers shed over them tbe beauty
of their perpetual fragrance.
Somewhat of these results has already
oblained in Georgia. Her people are a
very practical people; ibey put their
hands to the plow, lo tbe loom, to the
anvil, to the millstone; they put into
practical operation I lie machinery, and
tbe appliauces whereby this southern
poverty may be replaced with wealth,
and this weakness with power. There
is common sense, sterling common seuse
in all that, and we should like lo wit-

examined into, with a view to such action
on their behalf as it may be proper to

and with precision those cases in which
the national power may be exerted for
their relief or to what extent relief shall
be afforded. Circumstances, as they arise,
must prescribe the rule of action. In

causes of complaint which the U. S. have | the Y honestly do, that he will use the in

the party. They would prefer to see the
election in Illinois go by default rather
than surrender up the honor and integrity
of the national administration.
On the other hand, there are many of
Mr. BucliMian’s warmest friends, who con
tend that Mr. Douglas, in consideration of
past services to the Democratic party, and
in consideration of the fact that he is main
ly opposed by an out and out Black Re
publican, should be leniently treated, and
not spurned from the rank of the party as
a traitor. It is no doubt an honest differ
ence of opinion; and while we are sternly
and uncompromisingly opposed to the elec
tion of Senator Douglas, we are free to say,
that we had rather see him elected than
Lincoln. We do not understand why a
difference of opinion, wide as it is, between
the Democracy of Georgia, touching Doug-
urged. But it is proper they should both
distinctly understand that the American
people and government have yielded e-
nough to the weakness af those republics,
and without doing them injustice, they
will take care and do justice to themselves.
“ Preparatory to such action ss may be
necessary, a naval force will be stationed
at San Juan del Norte, Mid also at San
Juan del Sur, and at Realejo, with orders
to afford all necessary protection to the
persons and property of American citi
zens ; and the commanding officers will
be directed to communicate with you, and
and you will not foil to keep them advised
upon all the subjects which may relate to
the execution of the duties thus entrusted
to them.”

No apology for this outrage has since been

Encouraged by promises of friendship
and governmental aid by Lopez, a compa
ny of merchants and capitalists fitted out
a vessel in one of our Northern ports for
Paraguay, in tho hope of establishing a
permanent commerce between the two
countries. The cargo consisted of various
implements of husbandry and manufact
ure which were deemed suitable to a de
velopment of the industrial arts among the
people of that republic, and of many arti
cles for consumption and use which were
to be exchanged for the produce of the
country. Our people were received by
Lopez, with imposing demonstrations of
satisfaction and welcome, and with the
pledge of his efforts to encourage the com
mercial relations of the two countries.—
But he soon saw that this exhibition of
American progress was poorly calculated
to increase the devotion of his people to
his fortunes, or their respect for his gov
ernment With this conviction, followed
a change of policy. Every obstacle was
thrown in the way of the Company; our
Consul was publicly insulted and, with
the agents of the company, was finally
driven out of the country. This is a brief
rehearsal of our causes of the complaint
against Paraguay, and it cannot be doubt
ed that they furnish an ample justification
of the course our government has adop
ted for redress.—Columbus Time*.

him for his manliness and independence.
