HANSON, Manager, Macon, Ga.* Tiir hardest thing yet on the Cincinnati snob is the charge that it was led by an Atl^j.ta negro. Gewkr&l Suermxn contradicts the report that he would accept the Democratic nom- . ination for tho Presidency. Thanks. Tnfe rebellion of the white Republicans of Georgia against the bull-dozing-negro leaders may be termed a small cry over much wool. Royal Bengal Tiger Pledger has at last proven too strong for the party stom ach of Uncle Jonathan Norcross. It was only after a long, long struggle that the stomach succumbed. The "agltatlvc activity” of the atmos phere on yesterday was sufficient to create the suspicion that George Adair had sold an Atlanta clerk an eight by ten lot of precious dirton a credit. There was blow- tog. ^ . The United Ktates has more to fear from Communism than from monopoly, and the people will some day be startled into a realization of the fact. The Cincin nati riot is simply "the beginning of the end.” The fellow that has lightning rods on his house, to protect it from thunderbolts, thinks that the fellow who digs a cyclone pit shows a wicked distrust in Providence. Ills wisdom is of the sort that Job couldn’t comprehend. Several things are suggested by the Cincinnati riot, and not tho least impor tant of them is the necessity of maintain- ingState military organizations on a war tooting. The State authorities will doubt less be wise enough to see the force of the suggestion, TnE present generation oi free traders will all be dead when the people of Georgia consent to direct taxation, at the hands of the Federal government, in order to re lieve foreigners of the duties which they now pay for the privilege of selling their goods in this country. An an evidence of the disordered condi tion of that portion of the Democratico-Re- publico coalition represented by the 8a- vannah Echo (negro organ), Colonel Jack Brown, the soldier, patriot and statesman, who led tlie coalition in 1880, is contempt uously referred to ns "Jock unwnalnntnn Brown.” Another Precedent to be Wiped Out. When it liecame necessary to the fortunes of a few political managers the two-thirds rule was abrogated in a State convention, by what machina tions tlie record still stands to show. It is now proposed to wipe out another precedent of tlie party. Tlie Savannah Morning ■ Xctcs seconds tiie motion of the Atlanta Constitution in the following paragraph: "The politicians, perhspf, want two Hate conventions this year. It is safe to assume that the people want only one. 'they ilon’t want to be bothered with con volitions and polities any more than Is absolutely pei essarj. Out* convention and an electoral ticket at to Chicago as.well as twi less sOme reasons in fav minute a State ‘loot the delegates There are doubt- ol two conven- i* not as strong as the reasons BasAToa Blaiii wants to confer tlie 1ml tot on tlie negro women of the South. Buch fanatics arc worac enemies to the material intercets of the country than open-mouthed advocates of pillage like Moat and Schwab. It is comforting to - know Uiat be can’t accomplish Ids fool purpose without the support of some of the Southern States and not one of them will ever consent to any such lunacy. Sows of tho Democratic papers in the South arc trying to convince themselves and their readers that the English manu facturers arc literally pining for Utc privi lege of furnishing them with cheap goods, There to something painfully '-fresh" in the idea of there being any solicitude among British manufac turers for the en joyment of cheap markets in their line by the people of this country. Being "free traders," their theory binds them to "sell in the dearest market and buy in the cheapest.” Where Are the Free Trad. Statesmen and Orator, ? la the Broadway Note Book ‘‘Gath, after a recent visit to Washington writes as follows: I saked a tree trade manufacturer, who had keen e cIom student ot this i|ue»tlon, if he law anybody to Congress r.pwblc ol leading bis aids in the debate. Said be: "No. There Is nobody In Congress able to debate It on that aide. Than are a number of amattervrs up there who, from politic.1 or other motive., lean townrd free trade, but I know of nobody who can make bln speeches os that side eS stoat, Where is the eloquent nod learned Blount and tlie electric Black burn and tlie ear-spUtting Mills? Can it be possible that these profound nnd erudite states men are unable to cope with Judge Kelley, Hiscoek, McKinley and Bus sell ? And yet a free trader calls them in derision, "smattcrers.” The truth to, it the tariff debate does take place, there wilt not be scraps enough left of the free trade statesmen to afford a decent funeral. The people, those of them who be long to tiie Democratic party, have not complained ot two conventions during a Presidential year. It 1ms been cus tomary to have a convention to send delegates to the Presidential conven tion. When that convention has acted, then it becomes proper to hold a con vention to ratify its action as to the platform and candidates, and to select an electoral ticket to carry out its pur poses. This is regutar, correct and wise. Why should a convention that selects delegates to perform a certain duty, as sume to itself the power to frame an electoral ticket before that duty has been performed? Why tlie haste to make this radical change at tiiis particular juncture? Political sentiment is in a transitory condition at present. If the Chicago convention should adopt a protec tive platform and put upon it a protective candidate, Georgia would look and feel cheap witli an electoral ticket composed of free trad ers. How could otir esteemed contem porary rally with enthusiasm to such a ticket and platform 7 How stale nnd flat would be the speeches of free trade electors in favor of protection candi dates? Great mistakes can be made in this way. It is not safe to predict just where men will stand a few weeks from now. A notable example occurs that may be used as an illustration. Two years ago, just before the State Democratic convention assembled, distinguished member from the State atlaTgeof the Democratic executive committee, published a violent diatribe againsttho Democratic party, the party that had elevated him to tho position then held. Supposo that the con vention should get some statesmen oi this calibro on its electoral ticket in advance of tho action of the Chicago convention? It would bo n trifle awk ward, to say the least of it, and the chances for any such contretemps can easily avoided in following a prece dent to which there can ho no valid objection. No Democratic convention has yet assembled without full repre sentation. It is so manifestly proper that State affairs should be separated, from the national campaign, that tlie mere sug gestion carries its own reason and ar gument. If any compiainta have been raised against tlie practice of tlie party, save such as are quoted in this article, they have escaped observation. Tlie opinions of politicians have not been made public upon tho convention question, unless the expressions ot tlie Constitution and .Yews may be so con sidered. If the Chicago convention shall assemble and present to the Democracy oi Georgia a ticket and platform unoli- jectionable, then it will become the bounden duty of tha Democratic party in an official manner to ratify and indorse its action. If it should fail to do this, no flxing tip be forehand of an electoral ticket should hold the Democratic party of Georgia to action Oiat it cannot honestly and sincerely* indorse. The clear majority of the Democratic party in Georgia has patiently submitted fur years to political jugglery tliat was as unjust as distasteful to it. Tills lias been done tor the sake of the party. It may bo well enough to have it distinctly un derstood now, that the margin for further submission to theso tactics is exhausted. Tlie real reasons for one convention, and an early one, though not made public, are well understood. When the necessity arises they will be uncovered. that they were merely flashes of temper and not the result of any deep-seated evil—such occurrences as have been witnessed in every State in the Union during Gie last twenty years, and mat ters of State concern only. These disturbances fado into insignifi cance before tiie Cincinnati riot, botli in cause and effect. Tlie latter was tlie result of a persistent nbuso of tlie forms of justice on the part of tlie legal profession. Tim failure to hang a certain murderer was the strain which added to tho load that had been slowly accumulating upon tlie people's back, broke it, and threw tlie corporate body into convulsions. ‘‘Fifty murder cases are on docket in Cincinnati,’’ we read recently in a Western paper. This is the simple ex planation which, added to tlie mob’s demand that the criminal lawyers bs hung, makes clear the causes which lie at tho bottom of Saturday's and Sun day’s riot. A corrupt influence ruled in criminal courts, crime was no longer punished, and, having endured tlie out rage which was breeding criminals in their midst and making life and prop erty insecure, the people rose in arms and protested. “The burning of the court house was a piece of wanton mis chief,” says the telegram. It was the message of a blind fool. The Cincin nati court house was burned in the same spirit ns was tiro Bnstilo destroy ed. Built like the Bastile for public protection, it became a public curse, and the people laid it in mins. Here now is an opportunity for John Sherman. But to bring about tlie nr- rest'and discomfiture of the people and tho poor wretches who took part In the unfortunate riot, is not the plan would suggpst. The cause of this riot should be tlie subject of Congressional investigation. The constitution of tho The Lesson e? the Hour. In an analysis of tlie causes which lie at tlie root of the communistic outbreak in Cincinnati, the Courier-Journal says -. Faith In tho Integrity of the people, in the execution of law, in the omnipotence of jus tice, cannot be established bv a change ot par ties, by a change ot law, by newspaper clamor, if the “best citizens,” as they are called, become co-partners with tho worst by neglect- ins their political duties. A man too sensitive, too highly cultured, too devoted to his busi ness, too much occupied with church affairs, t© perform ordinary duties ot citizenship, to attend the primaries and servo on tho jury, is too much impregnated with selfishness, sweet- and light to live in an American city; lie is it bad citizen—bad because of his own leet, bad because of the evil force of his example—and he should emigrate. There is more good, hard, common sense in these words titan in all the Courier-Journal has ever published in connection with the free trade and whisky legislation. It will bo a for tunate day for the peoplo when tlie newspapers treat this subject of law lessness as directly chargeable, not to the depraved, but to what is known as the “best citizens” division of so ciety. In one of Ca Lie's little Creole stories is a simple-minded priest, who accuses himself as directly responsible for the sing of those about him who go astray, and who plainly charges up to his con gregation a share in tlie guilt. Tlie simple-minded priest inculcates this principle in his sermon witli telling effect. It is a great mpral lesson, not only for individ uals hut for such, communities os Cincinnati, Louisville, Macon; indeed all cities inay seize upon and profit by it. The man who shirks jury duty and suffers justice to lie administered by per sons easily debauched; the man who avoids the polls and suffers political control to pass into dishonest hands, is directly responsible for all the evil re lent storms aud electrical displays, just as certain conditions of society gender riots and social disturbances. These disturbances are more common in wealthy and civilized communities than in countries where the people are poor and ignorant. Indeed, the mob is ono of the hitter fruits of wealth and poverty, culture and igno rance brought in contact with each other. Under sucli circumstances a diversity of interests is always sup posed to exist. In somo respects, the outbreak in Cincinnati is unlike other riotous dem onstrations. The object was not to advance tlie personal aims and inter ests of its promoters, nor to enforce the demands of tlie laborer, nor to defy tlie constituted authorities, but to imjirove and render certain the administration of the law! Bail and evil as tlie whole affair was, the air is doubtless purer in Cincin nati to-day than it was last Friday. The mob is not tho best agent to improve tho moral at; mosphero, nor is the cyclone the agent that a prudent man would chooso to purify the air he breathes; but if such visitations bring along a trifle of good, we should not reject it because of its ugly origin. Dr. Livingstone speaks of a poison ous plant ho found in Africa, from tiie deadly flower of which tlie busy boo extracted wholesome honey. Possibly onr legislatures and courts may draw a valuable lesson from the work of tho mob. If the one will enact good laws, and the other will promptly and fear lessly enforce them, the public will fee! less indisposed td forgive the riot ers.

Early this morning, about 8 o’clock iust I beyond tlie end of Marietta street a ft. people in tho neighborhood were attracted by groans coming from somo clumps of bushes and undergrowth. Hastening in the spot they found a man « the point ot death, a pistol ball through his head, and tlie pisto by his side. Tho unfortunate man was unconscious, and died in n few minute. His long bead plumed and bclmctcd—upon Tho coroner was notified, who took charge his arm a shield; ot tho body and bad tt removed to tlie un- No military honors bad crowned his past career, Nor had a tongue of eloquence made him more than doubly dear; Facts aud financiering were the things he rau upon, And smiled when people doffed their hats and called him "Honest John.” Hut facts and financiering arc things that greatly tire: They do not pleasantly enthuse a crowd, nor stir Its eager ire; And to obtain his office, the deep Ohio man Gave up cold-blooded figures fora warmer- blooded plan. Ills brother, great Tecumseb, had risen into power military harness, the hero of the hour; And if in war high office, by Tecumseb, might bo w*on, by might not war bring honors to his brother "Honest John?" He smiled before the query, and straightway tonic the field, United States gqarantces to every «c- 'Ws that are obtained. Twelve hon- cused man the right of an impartial trial before a jury; if tho trial is partial to the man accused, or to tho great body of men wito accuse him, the con stitution is violated. The charge is made by tens of thousands of tho citi zens of Cincinnati that the constitution is continually and persistently violated; they make the charge openly, and write in blood upon the city’B walls their protest. Let tho Senator from Ohio look nearer home for an opportu nity to ptove himself an enthusiast for constitutional liberty. Wnat Ceneral Young Says. General P. M. B. Young, in a letter to the Savannah Times, expresses the opinion that the Hon. Roswell 1’ Flower ia a strong 4h<l promising Pres* dential candidate. General Young says of him: He enjoys the absolute confidence of all the business Interests of the East, and without the aid of the State of Kew York and iu powerful influence how can w« hope to elect a Freni dent? Mr. Flower’s political and private record Is without a blemish. He la In the prime of a vigorous manhood; he Is bold, fearless, able and aggiesstve, and manifests deep and lively interest In all affairs of the South, as well as of the whole country. General Young adds: “It to with rc- gn* tliat I most give it as my opinion that ‘protection’ to gaining ground in Georgia.” The opinion of the General ia well put. The protection sentiment is v<-ry strong, and General Young and then will lira to nurse regrets that H y were over led away Into free trade nil-' -CM, The Cincinnati Riot. Sunday morning’s Telbukapii laid before tlie public the details of one of those fearful outbursts which seem to have been common to ail ages and to all nations. Over the simple failure of a jury to convict of murder in the first degree a ntan who was undoubt edly guilty and deserving of death, the city of Cincinnati was thrown into the wildest confusion. A rrob of 10,000 met and passed condemnatory resolu tions and adjourning amid great excite ment was easily led to an assault upon the jail. It was met with a determined resistance, and soon the populace, po lice and military were engaged in a bloody affray which filled the streets with dead and wounded men and re sulted in the destruction of the new court house, burned by the mob os it windered blind witli passion, it is said, seeking for something upon which to wreak its fury. The first thought, doubtless, that flashed across the South was to com pare the trifling disorders of Copiah county and Danville, which John Sher man has tortured for political purposes into affairs of national importance, with tlie great disaster at Cincinnati. In the former, mere personal quarrels happening in a season of great political excitement, resulted in bloodshed snd brought about a conflict between a few members of each race. The entire his tory of the iwo affair; develop* the fact Cotton Statement. From the Chronicle’s cotton article of March 28th, wo gather tho following facts relative to tho movement of tiie crop for the past week: For the week ending March '28, tlie total receipts have reached 52,884 bales, against 42,035 bales last week, 49,876 bales the previous week, nnd G8,720 bales three weeks since; making tlie to tal receipts since September, 1883, 4,- 582,570 hales against 4,329,782 hales for the same period of 1882-83, allowing a decrease since September 1, 18S3, ot 747,212 bales. The total receipts at all the interior towns for tho past week, liavo reached ,107, since September 1, 2,601,S55, showing a decrease of 4,002 bales, as compared with receipts of tiie same week last year, and for the season a falling off of 597,757. AmotiR tho interior towns, Macon is credited with 737 hales for tho week, and with 78,801 bales for the season. For the same week last year the re ceipts were 300 bales, and for the sea son 50,082. Theso figures slio-.v an in crease for the week, over tlie receipts of tlie same week last year, of 437 hales —and for the season an incrcoso of 2 719 hales. Taking tho receipts from plantations, the net overland movement to March 1, and also tlie takings by Southern spinners to tlie snine date, the amount of cotton substantially in sight becomes 6,325,720 bales, against 0,400,824 hales last year, a decrease in tlie total visi ble supply, as compared with that pe riod, of981,104 bales. The imports into continental ports this week have been 71,000 bales. The exports have reached a total of 72,599 bales, of which 40,174 were to Grea Britain, 9,091 were to France and 17,- 334 to thereat of the continent. Tlie following, taken from the Chron icle, shows the drift of speculation in cotton for future delivery during the past week: There has (wen continue-.! activity in tbs •peculation In cotton tor future delivery at thto market the peat week, an<l prices show a further advance. With no very active Influ ences at work, except that Liverpool and Man chester accounts were better and stocks un dergolng a rapid reduction, there was a slight advance on Saturday, aud on Monday the market was quite buoyant. Tuesday, under a weak Liverpool report, there was some selling U>; realize, which caused the loss of part o! Monday's advance. On Wednesday there was a further sltoht decline, which was recovered In the later dealinza for that day The feature of tho week, however, wu in Thursday’s business. This wu the first day for the Issuing of notice, for d-iivery on April contracts. Tzeso came out quite freely, hut u they generally "stopped,” showing that the tattles receiving them intend ed in no<l eyes to receive the cotton, a sharp advanca look place, aud this crop closed S to IS points dearer. To-day the .speculation wu less active, and the coarse of valuce be came soon after the opening quite irregular, but later became entire and buoyant lor the early months on threats ol a “corner' 1 on April contracts. The close wu barely steady, at an Irregular advance compared a Ith last Friday, of 24 hi 25 points fur March and April, IS to IS point* (or the remainder »f this crop, 15 points for September and 5 to 10 points (or the nexterop.

Today there was a further advance of e*a-, middling upland* closing at 11V cst men, twelve of tlie best citizens of Cincinnati, would have hung Berner, tlie man who lia<l seven times confessed himself a wilful murderer. But they gave way to twelve corrupt men, and to-day the streets of that city are slip pery with the blood of 150 victims of crimes left unavenged, while sorrow and desolation brood silent over many darkened homes. The citizen who rises in his seat when his name is called as juror and pleads a fireman’s excuse, or any other exemption, invites the torch and un sheaths the knife which may deprive him of life or all life holds dear. Can anyone deny it? Political Judges. The Albany AVtrs and Adterlitcr makes the following statement: The constitution ot Atotoima forbids the res- lunation of a judge of the Superior Court to enter the political arena, and thus prevents ambitious men from dragging the judicial er mine through the dirty cesspool of politics. There may be wisdom in such a provision, but Ocorgia has not been favored with it. We have not a copy of the Alabama constitution beforo us, but assuming that our contemporary is correct in his statement, we desire to express our deep regret that tlie Constitution of Georgia does not contain a provision similar to that to be found in tlie or ganic law of Alabama. It seems tliat when a man accepts a judicial position in Alabama, he can not resign it “to enter tho political arena.” In Georgia on the contrary, our judges may abandon the bench for the express purpose of engaging in politics, or they may retain their scuts and embark in politics from the bench, using their judicial position for tlie advantages it gives them to pros ecute their political designs. This disreputable practice prevails at tills time in more than ono judicial dis trict in Georgia. Indeed, it is feared that many of our more ambitious law yers seek positions on the bench, not for tlie small salaries attached to tiie same, nor yet for the honors of the office, but for tbo facilities afforded them to push their political schemes. A man who would thus prostitute tlie higli office of judge is unlit to retain his scat on the liench, or to hold any political position; and we trust tliat the necessary steps will be taken by the next Legislature to render all judi cial officers ineligible os candidates for positions of honor or profit which arc political in character. Until the judiciary shall be divorced from politics, tlie country will look in vain fur a thorough ly independent and upright adminis- trationof the law. Judgesdo not make very satisfactory politicians, while pol iticians make very sorry judges. No sensible man would be willing to have his life or his property passed upon by a judge who had sought a place on the bench os a step to political preferment. When judicial officers desire to enter upon a political career, it is their duty to retire from tlie bench; and the soon er they do it, the better will it be for themselves and the country. A man whose time is divided between politics and the law, is not likely to make a good lawyer, nor a good judge, nor even a good politician. Railroad Wrack. tTinTAXOO.lt, April Z—A paswtRsr train on tha Alabama Great Southern rail The Wesleyan Rebellion. There is gloom in the Wesleyan College the gloom of apprehension, guilty con sciences and punishment delayed. And tho gloom is widespread. Early on the morning of April 1, while the gifted President's deep Bass snore was testing the building's foundations, and the B flat.G sharp and higli soprano breathing of his talented assistants rose iu 4 o'clock peacefulness throughout the wings and basement, a hundred figures might have been seen gliding about the grounds of the institution. The figures belonged to the va rious classes, and were abroad in obedi ence to the spring impulse recently ana lyzed In these columns. There was heard a conglomeration of suppressed "alts' and "oh’s” and “mercy me’s” and "gra cious goodnesses,’’ and ono decided femi nine shriek when an inquisitive angleworm cantc out on the hand that was supporting his tin carriage. There was n fluttering of wraps, a munching of stalo biscuits saved up for the occasion, a hurried arrange ment of a column, and ot the hour when fair Juliet parted from Romeo the proces sion, m open rebellion, moved away, leav ing the front door unlocked and a deserted hall. It is not politic, considering the present unsettled state of affairs, to natno tlie bold leader of this insurrection. Sufficient now to say tlie forces were well led. Tlie first engagement tested the high courage of the gallant band. A, dusky object suddenly confronted the vanguard in Utc darkness. The first rank at once fell back in some confusion upon the second, the second on the third, the third on tlie fourth, and on, until tho last thumped up against the next to the last, and a general dispute to whose com had suffered most began and soon assumed a serious aspoct, The common danger fortunately quelled the Internal disorder, and a detachment was Anally induced to advance and recon noitre. Exhaling a masterly movement by the flank, the scouting party soon re turned with the Information that a cow fay in the path and refused to move. This necessitated a breaking of the rank, and the forming of the column again on the other side of the obstacle, a movement very gracefully performed. Littlo clso transpired to disturb tlie march, if we may except a terrier tliat jammed its nose through a crack and barked near the rear rank, nearly causing a general stampede ami the unearthly tenor of a serenading cat, that caused the advance guard to shy out into the big road, from which it refus ed to return, thereby necessitating another reforming of the line. After a few minor casualties, the insur gents went into camp near a gurgling stream on a pleasant hillside, and took breakfast. Then commenced the romp. A naughty boy, who concealed himself near at hand, gives us a description too personal for publication. He says, in brief, that it Is all a mistake toebelieve a girl can’t chunk rocks or climb a tree; and that when it comes to wading in the branch a boy (for various reasons) to nowhere—but we draw the curtain. it ia said that not a single sardine nor cracker to new to be found in a grocery on the Vinevtlle road. Space only permits a glimpse at the part ing scene. Worn out. the rebels came in and surrendered at discretion, jut before dark, and were immediately thrown into prison, until the authorities can batch up a proper form of punisbmsnL The TzLaosAra thinks that an example ought to be made of these rebess; one tlia t will for all time time crush out the spirit of rebellion. It suggests, therefore, that initead of taking the girls down to Adams Park thto year, to hare a good time with him all by themselves, Dr. Baas ought to tarn them loose in oar park, to be stared at by the young men on May Day. It will be severe punishment, but then they de serve ib Ills steed in warlike housings, pranced 'nesth a golden spur, And in the warrior’s hand thero flamed tn army scimctsr— behind him, Hoar, his tnisty squire, rode boldly and alert, bearing upon a silver lance, their flag- bloody shirt. And as they hied them merrily, their south ward mission on, Folks said: “Ill fato betid, the foe who fights with ’Honest John.' " We dwell not on his bloody deeds. This plumed knight of Ohio Rode madly into Pauvillc town, and province of Copiah. . The enemy fled far away, whenever he raise round, And folks turned out os on the day the circus strikes the town.

Issued hy the Republicans, reviews tlie jioUlicul situation in Georgia, the attitude of tlie Republican party, its domination by ignorant negroes, and tlie necessity of retiring them to tlie rear. It is a masterly treatment of the negro as s voter, asserting tliat he is incompetent ni 11 leader, unreliable ns a voter and lias no capacity whatever, for organization, con trolled In almoat every case by money or wltlaky. "Various conventions >f tho Republican party have beep called in Georgia with tlie view of organizing so as to make the parly strength available, but every such call has been rendered useless, its design frustrat ed and Its object defeated by the action of ignorant negto politicians, who have as sumed to themselves the leadership ot the party, and thrust themselves Into posi tions they were totally Imcompetent to fill. Bucli lias been the case liere- to ore, and will doubtless be ao again whenever a Republican convention may be called in the usual way. • • • “It being true that the mass of the ne groes are unreliable as voters, and that the bigoted ignoramuses among them, who push forward as leaders, are wholly incompetent, as to iilainly shown by the fact tliat the Republican rote of Uie State decreases every year, and has now ceased to be a check upon the party in control, tli us endangering the safety and prosperity of the people, a new arrangement becomes a necessity demanding attention.” The address appeals to the old Whigs ami onion men to join, the white men's S , and oilers political preferment to ring young men just beginning life esirousof occupying high positions.” "All positions of importance in the pres ent organization of the Democratic party are now filled by men who are surrounded with such backer* that they are almost as impregnable as the castle of Gibraltar. A young outsider, who seeks poiition.com Ing in contact with one of them in that party, baa a bad chance of saccess. But we have noplaces filled and can offer a fair chance to all. "Wc propose to act in conjunction with the national atlohal Republican party, that is the only national with which we agree in MS and stand in opposition to Democracy, which it ia our purpose to check. A party with no nationality to only a faction. This to an outline of the address, which I concludes with an earnest call for a large attendance at the convention of April 6th. WHAT LOXOSTSSST UTS.
