The Democratic Convention.
We publish to-day, the proceedings of
the Democratic Convention which assem
bled at Milledgeviile on the 14-th inst., to
nominate Douglas and Johnson electors.
The seceders have been attempting to cre
ate the impression that there are but a
■mall aquad of Douglas men in this State.
But since the meeting of our Convention,
this delusion will be dispelled. The Con
vention was not only respectable in num
bers, but was composed of some of the
best men in the Stnte—men who are not
actuated by any motive, save the interests
<ef their country. It Was not a meeting of
office seekers to arrange for their own pro
motion, as is too often the case. We have
attended a number of Conventions at Mil-
lsdgerille, and it gives us pleasure to say
that we "have never, witnessed a body of
men actuated by purer motives. They
all seemed conscious that they were i ight,
and governed by a lofty patriotism—too
lofty to be appreciated by the brawling
politicians. There has gone abroad a false
Impression as to the ^strength of the Na
tional Democratic nominees in this State.
Ibis state of feeling is brought about by
talking village politicians, who are, most
ly for Breckinridge. But the masses of
the people, those who are not seeking po
litical promotion, will stand^firm upon
their old principles, and not permit them-
selves to be carried into unbeaten paths,
which lead to revolution, disunion, civil
war and anarchy.
The National Democracy of Georgia
may well congratulate themselves upon
the result of the late Convention. They
have presented to them an electoral ticket
worthy representatives of the great chiefs
under whom they will fight We here
haasrd the assertion that our candidates
tor President and Vice President, in point
•f great ability and statesmanship have
not been surpassed by any previous ticket
ever presented to the American people for
their suffrages. And we can say the same
of our electoral ticket—hendeff by that
great statesman—who was pronounced on
the floor of the United States Senate by a
prominent Senator, to be one of the bright
er! intellects this or any other country
Over produced—Alexander H. Stephens,
and associated with ‘him the Hon. A. R.
Wright, who as an orator, has few equals
and no superiors in the State,
district will have the services as elector in
The Bell and Everett Convention.
This Convention met at Milledgeviile
on the 13th inst to nominate candidates
for Presidential electors. Eighty-seven
counties were represented by near five
hundred delelgates. Gen. J. W. A. San
ford presided. The convention was ad
dressed by Hon. B. H. Hill arid Hon. R.
P. Trippe in powerful and eloquent spee
ches. The latter unmasked the designs
and exposed the insincerity of the leaders
in the secession movement in a manner
that was truly gratifying to a National
democrat, though coming from a political
opponent His friends say that he sur
passed himself on that occasian.
The following is the electoral ticket
nominated:
FOR THE STATE AT LARGE.
WILLIAM LAW, of Chatham.
B. H. HILL, of Troup.
ALTERNATES.
GARNET ANDREWS, of Wilkes.

Col. J. W. Harris.
This gentleman is now at Alum Springs
Ya. He informs us that he has received
letters from various parts of this Con
gressional district requesting him to ad
dress the people. He will return some
time in next month, when we hope his
health will be so far recovered as to ena
ble him to enter upon a vigorous canvass
of the district.
Hon. A. R. Wright.
We learn from the Confederacy, that
Horn*A. R. Wright addressed the Nation
al Democracy at Atlanta on the eveningof
the 16th inst. The largo Hall was filled
to overflowing, andfghe greatest enthusi
asm prevailed. Judge s Wright, it will be
recollect^!, has stood firmly by the great
statesman of the North-West, ever since
rival aspirants for the Presidency attemp
ted to overthrow him, to make room for
themselves. The National Democracy of
Georgia have, in Judge Wright, a cham
pion'worthy the causeTie espouses. He-
is well posted in the political affairs of the
country, and is one of the very ablest
speakers and first oratoas in the State.
Reporter Supreme Court.
We arc gratified to learn that our es
teemed friend, George N. Lester, has been
appointed Reporter of the Supreme Court
Col. Lester has, by perseverance and in
dustry, worked himself up to a high posi
tion at the bar, and we congratulate him
upon his promotion to the position he now
occupies. We have known him intimate
ly for many years, and can truly say that
the Court could not have found a gentle
man in the State more deserving their
confidence, or one better qualified to dis
charge the duties of the office. Col. L.
has always maintained a high reputation
for strict morality and unheeding integri-
tv.
you may be the better prepared to do ef
ficient service in defence of her rights and
the vindication of her honor. We would
suggest to the several military companies
in this County, the propriety of encamp
ing near the Agricultural Fair Grounds,
on the 35th, 26th and 27th September
next, at which time, said fair will be held
when and where a few days may be very
pleasantly and profitably spent in the ex
change of courtesies, and the discussion of
plans for the increased efficiency of the
several respective corps.
The Cavalry, we notice, are without
colors, a deficiency which should not be
suffered long to exist
The presentation of one, by the young
ladies of Cassville and vicinity would, we
doubt not, be thankfully received, and du
ly appreciated.
Cass County Tax Returns.
We are indebted to John F. Milhollin
Clerk Inferior Court, for the following ab
stract of the Tax Returns of this county,
which were completed some two weeks a-
go by our excellent Receiver, Mr. A. F.
Morrison:
our style of comment on his introduction
would justly entitle his best effort to the

tion of those who cannot come up to what

unqualified to speak their own sentiments,
or give their opinions as to the merits or
demerits of candidates oj- political organi
zations, and winds up by politely hoping
we will not intrude any more, or words to
the same effect.
Now we will inform you flfiend B., you
are entirely mistaken when you think you
can choke off a Tar Heel Democrat of the
coperas breeches sort. You greatly mis
take yourself if you think because you
tan speak a little Latin, draw fine conclu
sions, borrowed from bools, give fipe ideas
upon scientific subjects, as taught you in
Colleges or High Schools we presume, and
because you can converse fluently on those
subjects, when not the first idea you ad
vance probably, originated in your ovn (
pate, but by the assistance of memory and
your associations. Don’t friend B., let
us advise you, don’t attempt to muzzle
the mouth of a freeman, your fellow man,
because he cannot talk, speak or write in
Greek or Hebrew. Great men have their
failings as well as small men.
Mr. Editor, there are not afew.of these
little street politicians, strutting about
with tails curled, standing on tip toe try
ing to see if there is not some probable
chance for them to lick a few grains off
the public shelf, whilst there are others
butting stumps &c. And we know our
friend B. has noticed them, and hope lie
will be content and bule h is time and stand
by with his old friend Tar Heel, and look

wards from their masters, but certain pun

Kentucky Democratic Convention.
The Douglas Convention met at Louis
ville on the 11th inst., and nominated a
full electoral ticket. Hon. Arch. Dixon,
formerly a United States Senator, and au-
th& of the clause in the Kansas bill to re
peal the Missouri restriction, and Hon. J.
C. Mason, for many years a leading mem-
ThefirsC ,jer Congress, from that State, were
• nominated for electors for the State at
the canvass, of the gallant Seward w ho so j ,ar S e - There were over seven hundred
ably represented that district for six years j delegates in attendance. The National
In .Congress." The second district may
well be proud of her honest and faithful
Martin. The tl i d is ably represented by
Nathan Bass, whose great moral worth
gives him a commanding influence. Judge
Warner in the fourth will not permit our
aaase to suffer for want of an able cham
pion. The fifth presents Col. J. W. Har
ris, one of the ablest impromptu stump
Speakers in the State. There is no dem-
agogueism about him—he speaks nothing

baa that old, consistent and faithful dem
ocrat, Col. James P: Simmons. The sev
enth, Col. J- S. Hook, who is said to be a
man of a high order of talent The eighth
presents her young and brilliant Curoming
who is said to be one of the most talented
men of his age in the State. There are al
so two able alternates for each district—
Taken altogether, this is probably the a
blest electoral ticket ever presented to the
people of Georgia. They can meet and
vanquish the seceders ticket on the stump,
Democracy of Kentucky will enter the
contest with a determination to succeed.
If they do not succeed they feel certain of
receiving a higher vote than the seceders

them in their youth. By their old saint

ple for us Mr. Editor, taught from their
infancy to love and respect the govern
ment of their fathers, they seem not to de
part from that l&yalty in their manhood,
neither will they desert the government'
of their fathers in old age. Yes sir, it is
the plain Iron fisted Democracy, the pa
triots of the land, the lovers of the Union,
that have recentlv spoken in Kentucky,
the heme of J. C. Breckinridge, and have
said in language not to be misunderstood.
You have departed from the faith, Mr.
Breck. You have suffered your hereto
fore good name to be used by the enemies
of your country, by men who have enter
ed into a league at first sworn to and sub
scribed, but at this time they open the
doors wide and admit members free of
charge, into full fellowship. These are
the men who at least form a large and res
pectable portion of your supporters.—
Hence, Mr. Breck. you having suffered
yourself to become the candidate of these
disorganized of the Democratic party—
these followers of Yancey A Co., we can
not suffer the old patriotic State of Ken
tucky to thus stultify itself, to please you
or any other trading or corrupt politician,
that ever did, has, or will make a track
on the soil of Kentucky, we have ever
been of the opinion, honestly, from the
first act perpetrated by Mr. Yancey, that
he spake the sentiments of his heart when
by his former acts, backed by his own
declarations. His main object in disagree

tion assembled, by his extreme ultra and
extravagant demands, accompanied by
threats of dissolution and precipitating the

The Douglas and Bell parties of New

Fire!
A stable belonging to Mr. Bohannon in
this place, was burnt on last Friday night.
It was the work of an incendiary, as
there was no chance for it to have taken

last twelve months. It seems that some
fiend has a mania for stable burning.

ting on the wall. Its interpretation will
make your knees smite each other. It is
to be regreted Mr. Editor, that in the pre
sent distracted and disorganized state of
the Democratic party in this State as well
as other States, the glorious aid unterrified
(by the action of these official aspirants,
disunionists) are denied the glorious priv
ilege of bearing, the old stars and stripes
proudly and unsullied to a brush with its
enemies in the present campaign. If such
is to be the case, and the honor falls on
the friends of Mess. Bell and Everett, let
us fall in the rear of these gallant men,
and give one long and loud shout for them
great and-glorious principles actuate them.
The Union, the Constitution and the En-
foi cement of the Laws.
We deem it unnecessary, Mr. Editor, to
enter into any argument in order to prove
to your readers the position of Mr. Breck
inridge now occupies before the people as
a candidate for President of the United
States. That question is being now deci
ded from time to time as these elections
come off, you and your readers will be
come more thoroughly satisfied of the fol
ly of his being kept on the track, he is not
the candidate of the Democratic party nor
of any acknowledged party known but is
forced upon the people by the officers of
the government, old Buck at the head and
a tremendous list forming the tail, too te
dious to mention.
From letters recently published, we find
some little trouble in the Breckinridge
camp. We refer you to the revolutionary
documents of the Hon. L. M. Keitt To
Messrs. A. G. Salley and others, July 16,
1860, and to the manifesto issued from
head quarters. By the Honorable W. L.
Yancey, to J. A. Slaughter, June 15th,
1858.
When the fact shall become known that
Mr. Breckinridge will have permission to
go home to Kentucky and seat himself at
his own fireside, and then reflect over the
past, when the second sober thought shall
present itself to his mind, he then in real
ity can see things as they truly are, he
will begin to repent, and no doubt would
get on his knees and pray to that God
that protected our forefathers, in days that
tried men’s souls, to forgive him for thus
being instrumental in not only destroying
the only party upon which rested the hope
of all lovers of peace and harmony at home
and commanded respect from abroad—to
forgive him in tJius suffering himself to
be made a tool ot to divide the party, des
troy the hopes of all true friends of liber
ty, both at home and abroad. We believe
Mr. Breckinridge entitled to great respect,
and regret the situation he has placed
himself in before his party and ids conn-
try, which has caused bis own noble old
Kentucky, to thus publicly declare that
they will not have any such men to rule
over them. He no doubt, has been prom
ised such overwhelming majorities "by
those government pets, and old Buck, that
thev by persuasion almost forced him to
and important questions have from time
to time been presented to your body in
Congress assembled. You have taken po
sitions, and when there was doubts as to
your position being sustained by your
constituency,you have mounted the stump
thrashed out some honest man of your
party who dared oppose your position and
wiggled in with some prominent persons
of your Congressional district, packed the
Convention by promising scats in the leg
islature and down almost to coroner, suc
ceed in a nomination and election. The
Senators to Congress, have stooped even
lower (if possible) than you have, and
have been reelected by the wisdom and
patriotism of our legislature.
Now what is the result, do you attempt
to give ar. account of your stewardship.
“ No.” You commence one year in ad
vance to see if you can agree upon a presi
dent. Dictating the platform, and when
you think you agree, you first get up all
the Editors, tell them what course they
must pursue with their papers. Dictate
the characters of their editorials and if
any poor honest little Editor shall presume
to differ with you, all your hireling Edi
tors walk right into him and out of the
party “pell mell” he is read, and even-
individual is read out that docs not walk
square up to what you say is the proper
course the Democratic party should (shall)
persue.
Mr. Editor, do you think there is pa
triotism remaining in this, our once free
and happy land, to put these fellows where
they belong. “ IIow much longer shall
they lssh and goad us.”
We understand the Right Hon. Secre
tary Howell Cobb will soon enliven us
with his eloquent tongue, he has recently
left his palace at the seat of government,
and deems it absolutely necessary to visit
his political plantation, stir up his over
seers. Issue new orders, from himself,
thrash around and stir up all hands, dis
miss all found the least remiss in their du
ties. Make a few speeches, then his Edi
tors will herald its effects North, East,
South and West, saying: Georgia will
cast her vote for Breckinridge by a major
ity of 75,000.
Now sir, this is as near the truth as
your humble servants can describe it, to
the best of our knowledge and belief, and
if we had the patriotism and firmnees that
belonged to the Romans in the brightest
days of their republican simplicity, we
would take their credentials from them,
as unworthy the trust reposed in them,
and let them retire into the rear rank of
all the political armies of our section and
there remain until called on to serve as
fatigue parties, and let that position be
held by these only, and do other filthy
work, there and elsewhere about, as neces
sity may require.
; We suppose it will be expected by sottio
I that wje should notice (somewhat) the ar
ticle in the Cartersville Express in which
our friend B., as he is pleased to term him
self, takes us to task for presuming (as we
suppose) to even dare utter our sentiments
which, proving unintelligible to him, can
be easily understood by the common peo
ple of the country. And for that reason
we chose The Standard as the proper or
gan of the unterrified, through whose col
umns, the common people were most like
ly to look for plain common sense talk.—
Easily understood by common sense per
ception.
Our friend B., as will readily be per
ceived, pitches unceremoniously into us,
and from the beginning to the end of his
article, resorts to a very low grade of Crit
icism, which we shall by no means attrib
ute to him if attacking his presumed e-
quals. But his extreme contempt for the
party to which we belong, then the big
words and bad grammar, yes, and our
miserable poor reasoning, all put into a
crucible and well stirred up together, cre
ated a gas very offensive to friend B.—
Probably he had reason to complain, for
he states at the head of his article that the
she baby “ was turned up,” now was not
