democratic SENTIMENTS.
lion. B. H. Hill, i n a letter written
in iej ly to an invitation to make a speech
at Carnesville. Franklin county, on the
political situation in the 9th Congress
ional District, gives expieesion to the fol
lowing patriotic sentiments, as to the
future of the Democratic party, and the
true policy of all who profess to belong
to the only party that is destined to re"
store our government to its original
purity on the basis of the Constitution ;
We hear much of “ring men” and “m>
dependents.’ The first denounce the
latter as “traitors,” and the latter de¬
nounce the first as “shysters” and “tricku
sters.” But after all, what is the difiev
ence between ring men and indepen"
dents ?
The ring man seeks to promote his
peisonal ends and ambition by getting
artful control of the party organization.
The independent seeks to promote his
personal end and ambition by fighting
the organization. In their motives and
ends they are precisely the same, and
differ only in the means they employ.
Both are the children ot that mammoth
prolific parent of many evils and ever
growing corruptions—self-seeking. The
only real remedy tor both these evils is
that which was so familiar to our lathers,
and which is so unfamiliar to us : that
high congressional, judicial and exeutive
positions are places of service and vespon
sibilitv, and must be “neither sought nor
declined.”
A true democrat is he who is willing
to sacrifice hia personal ends and ambi¬
tion tor the success of his party, and
which success ho believes is the good of
the country. He neither wires, nor
begs nor pushes himself into the high
seats of responsibility. He sticks to his
party, and waits to be called higher. He
regards the offices as places of service,
,and not as occasion of pleasure or profit,
or for the gratification of personal vau
ity. In a word, he neither seeks these
high offices nor declines them, if he is
in condition to discharge their duties.
In the second place, let us apply these
geueral views, which all must agree are
correct, to the political situation iu your
congressional district.
Joel A. Billups is the regular nominee
of the democratic party. I know he
neither sought nor expected the nomina¬
tion. All eontinding wings of
the organization most honorably
agreed to bury their differences for the
common peace and good of the party,
and selected him as the representative
and symbol of their noble and patriotic
sacrifices. He is a good man, I have
known him intimately tor thirty-six
years. I do not know a better man, nor
one more worthy of congressional hon¬
ors. lie never sought to use his party
nor to fight it. He was never a dema¬
gogue, and is incapable of being one. He
is an upright gentleman, a true democrat
and an able debater. He would not sac¬
rifice either his convictions or his party
to secure any mere personal end. He
has neither sought nor declined the
office. He has patriotically answered the
united call of his party. Being a good
man, and having been fairly—indeed,
most honorably—nominated, I do think it
is the imperative duty of every democrat
in the district to give him a cordial
and earnest support. His nomination is
of the kind of nominations I love, and I
should regard bis defeat as a public ca
lamity. *
Emory Speer is the independent can¬
didate, From his boyhood he has been
almost as one of my own household. It
pains me to antagonize even his wishes,
and I would not do so except from a
sense of publje duty, I do not know a
more able and brilliant man of his age in
(he state. I would rejoice in his promos
lion as in that of my own son. Nothing
but his own mistakes, and the flatteries
of unwise friends, can prevent him from
becoming one ot the most useful and disc
tinguished man in Georgia. He is ni 3 -
king a serious mistake now. He is not
fighting evils m the democratic organi
zation, but tbe organization itself. He
is keeping up his fight alter the organi¬
zation itself has nobly purged itself ot all
the evils alleged to exist in it heretofore,
lie is not fighting a “ring man,” but
one who is the real representative of a
reconciled party, and who is as far from
being a ring man as it is possible for one
to be. If the issue were between a “ring
man” and an independent, I should not
take sides nor write this letter, If Mr.
Speer were indeed ray own son I would
vote against him, and trust to time to
convince him that I had rendered even
him, as well as the party, a good ser
vice.
One general remark, and I am done.
The democratic pariy is the party of
of the future. It will govern this conns
try for the good of the country. In this
party the young men of the south must
expect to develop their usefulness and '
achieve their fame. It will be a fatal
mistake for any one of them to place
himself, or allow others to place him, m
£ position of even apparent antagonism
to that party, and especially in a position
in which he could either desire or ex
pect the help of the common entnny.
I do not doubt (not meaning independ
ents now 1 there are some among us,
least suspected by our people, who are
anx.ously looking and adroitly working ;
for certain combinat ons in 1880. I
warn them now they will fail. I do not
know a prominent republican at the
North who is willing to make a single
concesion to the south, on the preaiden
tial ticket or otherwise, except on con
dition of affiliation with the republican
party.
The southern man who, under any pre¬
text, shall be wi.ling to affiliate with the
party which disfranchised the intelli¬
gence, virtue and property of the south,
and placed them all under the dominion
of ignorance and villa ny ; which used
the army to protect their villainies while
they were robbing us; which is now
using the patronage of the government
to reward the guilty authors of a presi
deutial larceny, and which is making
sovereign states but houses of refuge for
the escaping criminals of thmr carpet-bag
crew, may expect nothing but his own
political dishonor, degradation and death.
With kindest regards to each of you, and
with grateful recollection of you all, and
of those you represent, I am, yours very
truly, Benj. H. Hill.
To Messrs. W. C, McEntire, T. W.
Ayers, and others, Carnesville, Ga.

Seems To Be Coming True. —Macau¬
lay’s prophecy is woith recalling about
these times. “As long as you have a
boundless extent ct fertile unoccupied
land your laboring population will be far
more at ease than the laboring popula¬
tion of the Old World ; but the time
will come when New Kngland will be
thickly settled, wages will be low and
fluctuate, and sometimes many will be
> ut. of work. Then your institutions will
be brought to a test, Hard timpa makft
the laborer discontented and turbulent,
and incline him to listen with eagerness
to agitators,” who tell him that it is a
monstions iniquity for one to have a
million while another cannot get a lull
meal. When a Legislature is to be
chosen, on one side will be a statesman
preaching patience, respect for vested
rights, strict observance of public faith.
On the other a demagogue, rantingabout
the tyranny of capitalists and usurpers,
asking why anybody should live in lux¬
ury while thousands of honest people are
in want of necessaries. Who will be
likely to be preferred by this discon¬
tented element, and what sort of a Legis¬
lature will you be likely to expect? I
fear in some such seasons of adversity
spoliation will increase distress.—[Cou¬

TWO DOLLARS Per A&num
MORAL CHARACTER.
There is nothing svhich adds so much
to the beauty and power of a man.
as a good moral character. It is his
wealth—his influence—-his life. It dig¬
nifies him in every station, exalts him in
every condition, and glorifies him at eve
ry period of life. Such a character is
more to be desired than anything else
on earth. It makes a man free and in
dependent. No servile toil—croaking
sycophant—no treacherous honor-seeker
ever bore sueh a character. The pure
joys of truth and righteousness never
spring in such a person, If young men
but knew how much a good character
would dignity and exalt them, how glori¬
ous it would make their prospects, even
in this life ; never should we find them
yielding to the grovelling and base, born
purposes of human nature,

Ax Exhibitor,—A n individual who
was seeking to pass into the Fair grounds
without the formality of handing out a
ticket was orderd to provide himself with
one, when he explained:
£ Why, I’m an exhibitor !

the official.
“I’m exhibiting this ’ere ruined suit of
clothes, which cost me thirty dollars/
a rib fractured in a rush to get to a street
car, a wallet here wiih out a cent in it,
ekined ancles and knees and 400 spots
where I’ve been stepped on by the crowd’’
“Can’t pass on that—get your ticket,
“ cried the official.
“llaiu’t that enough?”
“ No, sir-”
“ Then I’ll exhibit a little common
sense and go home,” continued the man,
and he fell back and headed for the city.

From reports officially received by
the Department of Agriculture in Wash¬
ington, it is estimated that the corn crop
will not vary largely from thirteen hun¬
dred million bushels. The indications
are that the wheat crop will exceed four
hundred million bushels, a larger crop
than in 1817.
Corn is worth only fifteen cents per
bushel in Coryelle county, Texas.
