Oua CANDIDATES. this morning announce
our candidates for he distinguished offices OF Pres
dent OF these States, and Governor of Georgia. In
doing so, is only necessary state, that while We
would, IN Convention, have deposited our vote for
Martin Van Buren,, who we believe is pure and en-
lrgl,ened Statesman, entitled to the full confidence
OF the Republican party, whose principles he has so
ably sustained, we now, would had we been in
the Convention, WELD 10 the expressed will Of the
majority of party, and unfurl the standard Of De-
niocracy, with the name Of John {. Calhoun inscribed
on its field.
We must take convenient opportunity 10
dwell upon the distinguished services Of the late Sc
of South Carolina, and his ardent support Of the
principles identified with the faith we cherish We
henceforih support him for the Presidency, willing,
however, 10 return TO first love, should the Ma
iona Convention, in May next, decree that Mr.. Van
Buren,, any other gentleman entitled 10 their nomi-
nation, shall be the Republican candidate in 1874.
In announcing dc,r rmnation 10 rally around the
person Of Mr. Calhoun as ths standard bearer of our
rhers he'd principles should say. that while the
President first choice for the contest al hand,
Mr. Calhoun was our second, and consequently we
anticipated the period when, if in life, should, in
lS4s support hun the successor of Mr. Van Buren,.
Tie people OF Georgia through their Democratic dele
gales have decided otherwise. Harmony OF action be-
ing essential 10 the vindcaon and triumphant success
OF sacred ncplas, accord with that decision, and
wlh firm reliance the Justice Of our cause, proclim
10 the Republicans Of The Union confidence in Jno
c. Calhoun.
We have reserved but brief space TO speak of our
Cube rnatoria candidate. In the council and in the
field, Major Cooper has been faithful representative
gallant soldier Can say less than that one SO pure
in patriotism, and so sterling in the requisites which
should ene citizen TO the confidence Of his fellow
men, will receive cordial support?
OF Mr.. Stark, snail have opportunity to
speak hereafter We believe him well qualified for the
Office for which his Democratic fellow citizens have
ncl!.,natrd him.
