Pod: ; 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.
