There appears to be some inquiry
09 the part of the jtcoplc concerning
Capt. R. A, Stanley’s authority to j
call a mass-meeting which convened
in the court room on tho 19th day
of tho present month, to select dele
gates to tho Congressional convon-
tionfSvhich will convene at Milledgc-
villo oii the 4th of September next.
The answer to the inquiry, in the
humble judgment of the writer, is,
that this authority was obtained from
Democratic usage, which is so time-
honored, that it lias ripened into a
custom, and is, therefore, tho law of
the Democratic party.
Since the people became possessed
of the ability to assort their rights
after the panic, the result of subju
gation, tho Democrats of tho various
Congressional Districts in Georgia,
have, prior to each election, held
conventions for the purpose of put
ting boforo the pcoplo the standard-
bearer of the party. This, perhaps,
was done for several reasons; the
greatest of which was to settle the
party on one man. Tho good results
The association met ns per adjourn
ment, tho President, C, S. Guyton,

Remarks were made by Capt.
Smith and others, when the follow
ing resolutions were unanimously
adopted:

sible what amount they arc willing
to contribute for the Festival to be
held on tho 3d prox., make a list of
fbo same, and report to this associ
ation every Saturday.
That tho President open commu
nication ns early as convenient, with
Gen. Jno. B. Gordon, inviting, him
to address onr people on the 3d of
Octobor next, and also with the
'Handorsville Brass Band, to ascer
tain at what prico they cun ho secur
ed hy this association for the occasion.
Mr. Hicks of tho Dublin Post
volunteered to print tho circular of
instructions to ho issued hy tho
President, when on motion of Capt.
Bmfth, tho thanks of the association
wore unanimously tendered to Mr.
Hicks for lijs kind offer.
