NOMINATIONS BY ACCLAMATION.


NOMINATIONS BY ACCLAMATION
The proceedings of the recent wing convention at
Clayton declared
'Resoired, That by general reclamation we the
wings of the second district in convention assem-
bled, nominate for that place candidate for Con.
gress] the Hon. III. w, billiard, of Montgomery.
son the announcement of the name, the resolutions
We're carried by general and spontan eous burst of
enthusiasm"
Now there was certain other nomination which
we remember being carried in the same manner
the record of which is almost in the same language.
We were told that at the wing Baltimore conven-
ton in May, 1874:
"Mr. Leigh, of Virginia, rose and made an ad-
dress to the convention in which he stated that the
voice of the whole wing party of the country was
so decidedly in favor of certain individual for the
presidency, that it would be unnecessary to go
through the usual forms of nomination. He then
offered resolution declaring Henry Clay, of Ken
lucky, to be unanimously chosen the wing can
didate for the presidency of the United States.
The resolution was adopted by reclamation.
The cheering and braves was continued for great
length of time"
At the great wing convention of ratification"
we were told by the Baltimore American of May
Sd, 1874, that "the sight was one worth pilgrim
age to See" "The response was as loud as tens of
thousands of voices could make it." The people of
the Union, however, rejected the candidate notwth-
standing the sound and fury attending his nomina-
ton, by items of thousands of" voters Such sig
nal disaster might have been warning to the "well
dressed gentry" of the Clayton convention, that a
like catastrophe may attend their efforts The peo-
pie Of this district cannot be ''taken by storm"

AUGUSTA, May TO-
OF THE BAPTIST CON-
VENTION


The convention has ended its interesting session.
and the delegates scattering themselves TO their
homes, throughout all the wide South, with high
hopes and spirits Certainly there is something in
the assembling together-the cordial cooperation,
the warm affection of so large body, which has a
peculiar and deep interest. For ourselves, we have
regarded 1t so from the beginning; and could we
hope for SO general a congruity and harmony Of
sentiment among u.s. on all the important issues of
the day, should with Justice anticipate for the
South very high position in the eyes of the world.
The convention, we say, has adjourned. Its
business to-day did not occupy more than few
hours. The most important matter that was brought
up, and perhaps the only important matter, was the
religious instruction of the black population at the
South. Much was said about this, and il was
thought that the convention ought not to adjourn
without some expression of its sympathy in those
movements which are icing now extensively made
in the Southern States, for the better religious in
struction of this portion of population. The
time seemed suspicious for the expression. Dr.
Manly, of Alabama, has lately taken the subject
earnestly in hand in his State. A convention
is, we understand, to meet in your city in few
days, for the same purpose. The feeling seems TO
be general, that this field of missionary labors ought
to attract, and must attract, much greater degree
of attention than it has Whoever has read the
work of Mr.. G. Cocock Jones, of Georgia, will
heartily agree with us.
The convention has passed an appropriate resolu-
tion. The resolution was discussed at length, and the
discussion was very interesting one Among those
advocating the measure, were Drs. Curtis and Full
Ter, Messrs. Reynolds Furman, De Bow, and 9TH
ers of your State But tired Of these matters
and so perhaps are your readers.
The city is still crowded, All Georgia is pouring
itself In The Railroad convention comes of to-
morrow, and it attracts great attention. The beau
hful Georgia bellies will grace the occasion. We
