CONSTITUTIONALIST. ATJGHJSTA. OA. SUNDAY MORNING. FEB. 16. 186S Maeting of the Conservative State Central 4 Committee. Macon, Ga., February 13,1868. In response to a call from the chairman, the Central Committee of the Conservative party of Georgia held a meeting at the La nier House, in this city, this evening, and the Secretary was instructed to spread before the public the following extract of their proceedings : “ Whereas, the only party at the North which maintains the Constitution of the United States as made and construed by the fathers, and the union of the States there under, is organized under the name of the National Democratic party ; and whereas, all men in that dominant section of our common country, without regard to differ ences of opinion upon dead issues or living issues of minor consequence, embracing the honored and illustrious names of Fillmore, Winthrop, Doolittle, the Adamses, Dixon, Cowan, and others too numerous to men tion, are either moulded inter that great or ganization or acting in cordial concert with it; and whereas, close co-operation with that party is demanded by the instinct of self-preservation—the first law of nature— as the only rational mode of escape from the iron rule of military despotism, to be followed by the more humiliating condition of negro supremacy ; and whereas, many of the clubs, organized in the several coun ties of this State under the auspices of this Central Executive Committee, have already assumed the Democratic name, and others have forwarded here their action requesting this committee to assume the name of, and fuse all Conservatives into the body of, that party ; therefore, by virtue of the powers vested in us by the convention assembled in the city of Macon in December last, “ Resolved , That this committee assume the name of, and be henceforth known as, •The Ceu.ral Executive Committee of the National Democratic Party of Georgia,’ and we recommend to tiie various clubs at present organized as Conservative clubs, and to all the good people of Georgia to form upon this, the only practical constitu tional line, and gather under this, the only banner left from the wreck of the civil war, on which are still emblazoned the funda mental truths taught by our fathers of every party throughout the entire country —‘ The Constitution, the only bond of fra ternal Union —equal rights to every State, the only true construction of that bond.’ “ Resolved, That it would be premature, in view of the purposes of our late conven tion in the appointment of this committee, to express any opinion or give any advice at the present time as to the proper action of the people of Georgia upon the proceed ings of the convention at Atlanta. “ Resolved , That the committee urge upon our friends in the several comities to perfect their organizations at the earliest day pos sible, and report to the secretary of this committee. “ Resolved , That the fearless stand taken and maintained by President Andrew John son, for the rights of the whole people and the Constitution of our country, deserves and receives from our honest and patriotic men wherever found, their unstinted re spect and admiration ; and that, as men loyal to the Constitution, we desire to give public expression to our commendation of liis course.” True extracts from the minutes. J. H. Sneed, Sec’y. Forty-fifth Day’s Proceedings of the Georgia Unconstitutional Convention. REPORTED FOR THE ATIANTA* TUII.T INTELI.I OENCER. Friday, February 14th, 18(18. 'Die convention opened with prayer—Parrott in the Chair. * ' The Journal was road. P. Martin ottered the following resolution : He it ordained by the people of Georgia in convention assembled, That the bill recently tiled by ex-Govcrnor O. J. Jenkins in the Uni ted States Supreme Court against Generals Grant, Meade and others, officers of the United States, does not receive the approbation of this convention, but, on the contrary, its unqualified condemnation. The rules were not suspended. franchise. The consideration of the 10th section was re sumed this mornimr, and A. T. Akerman addressed the convention. H. K. McCay withdrew his ameudment offer ed the previous day, and the main question, on motion, was taken up, which was that of Mr. Harris, of Newton, to strike out. the entire sec tion. The yeas and nays were called, when the motion to strike out was carried—yeas, 125; nays, 13. The striking out of this section, which we published yesterday, seemed to have been pre arranged by the majority, and it was the opin ion of many that this understanding had been arrived at because they dreaded that its inser tion in the constitution would help to defeat it altogether. The “ colored hredren ” must, have undergone a sound and wholesome, process of discipline when they unanimously voted against their right to hold office, and it is an unmis takable fact that never, even in the days of slavery, did they owe or pay more allegiance to the will or nod of the white man than they do in this convention to a few while masters. On motion, thc’report of the Committee on Franchise was referred to the Committee on Revision. On motion, the resolution of D. G. Ootting, published in our issue of yesterday, was taken up, amended and adopted as follows : Whereas, Some unauthorized person has undertaken to institute proceedings in the Su preme Court of the United States in the name of the State of Georgia vs. General Grant, Meade and other officers of the United States, therefore Resolved by this convention , representing the people and sovereignty of Georgia , That no per son has been authorized by the State of Georgia to commence or prosecute any such suit, and that the people will not litigate such suit. And be it further resolved , That a copv of this resolution be forwarded by the President of this convention to the Military Governor of this State, with instructions to have the great 6eal of State placed upon it, and to have the same forwarded to the Secretary of War of the United States. On motion of F. Blodgett, the roles were suspended and the following resolution taken up: Resolved , That a commi'tee of seven be ap pointed bv the President to prepare and re port for the consideration of this convention a substitute lor the 33d section of the Bill of Rights, in relation to the homestead. The following were appointed as the commit tee : Blodgett. Blount, Hotchkiss, Gove, Crane, Bedford and Miiler. LEGISLATIVE DEPARTMENT. R. H.

We Uns and You Uns.—The Savannah Re publican of yesterday has the following : The Vigilant Fire Company, of Augusta, some time ago, notified Captain Charles J. White, Secretary of our Savannah Fire De partment, of their intention of visiting tbijs city and participating in the “ parade of the 33d.” Captain White answered the letter, stating that the Department parade was not until the first 01 May. To this the Secretary of the Vigilant company returned answer that his company would not visit this city. Within a day or so Captain White received a letter from a committee appointed at a meeting of the Augusta company, stating that his commu nication was perfectly satisfactory to the mem bers ot the company, aud that the action of the Secretary was taken altogether on his own re sponsibility and without consulting the com pany. The Vigilant will probably visit this city on the first of May and be the guests of our Sa vannah boys. We are glad that the entente cor diale between the two departments is thus re stored to lormer footing. In Behalf of the Clergy. —The Boston Transcript says there are two reasons why peo ple feel drowsy in a crowded church : first, because they inhale and thus destroy a large portion of the oxygen of the air—which alone can sustain vitality and healthy action ; second, the air of the church is impregnated with car bonic acid gas, which, being a narcotic, pro duces drowsiness in those who inhale It.

I M nrenured to furnish to Farmers and Planters an AMMONIATED SOLUBLE PHOSPHATE, com bining i l the higest degree the requisites tor the largest yield of cotton and corn. Our friends who have tried this Fertilizer give their unqualified lesti n.ony ol its complete success in largely increasing the yield of their crops. Where the application was dou bled, the incr-ase of yield was fuliy asgieat, and we are assured that it has proved for cotton “the manure.” Planters will find it advantageous to work less ground, to cultivate more thoroughly, aud to apply liberally a preparation such as ours. Our Fertilizers are made under the sttpe, vision of Dr. St. Jdlien Ranenkl, < hemitt, whose reputation and skill ensure a relia ble article. We have no hesitation in stating that in our standard manure the public have a Fertilizer which will give the mo.t satisfactoiy results. We claim that at the same cost per acre this article will do better than Peruvian Guano, our friends writing that Guano loses its effect upon the plant generally about the beginning of September, and this sustaining the plant In a green and healthy condition until killed by frost.
