deliberation.
GgoRGIA.-The Loco-Focos of this State. fairly
beaten at the ballot box. but having secured ma
iority of Senators with their minority OF popular
votes, hare deliberately refused TO elect United
States Senator for the ensuing term. The reso
luton TO fix time for choosing U. S. Senator
coming up in the Senate, Mr.. Stell moved the fol-
lowing substitute for it:
Whereas The course pursued by Hon. JOHN NJ. Der
in the Senate Of the United States Congress- is
variance with the best interest Of the People OF this
State and whereas his present term does not expire
until the Sd day OF March, 1877 and whereas the party
their opponents in the late canvass upon the subject OF
his reelection and in support OF their position declared
TO the People that that was an issue which their OPP
ponents were attempting TO fasten upon them
timely period, simply because Mr.. Berren was per-
sonally unpopular-that at the proper time they would
meet their opponents upon this question, and present
the name Of some who should be fair exponent of
their principles in relation all the great questions
at issue between the two great political partcs-and
whereas the disposition evinced by the Representatives
of that party 10 at variance with their declarations so
made and whereas sovereignty rightfully belongs TO
the people and in consideration thereof there can be no
danger in conhding to their charge their best int
rests and trusting in their hands the most sacred
right of surage-ihereore it is proper and right nay
more, ii is but sheer justice the whole country that
appeal should be TAKEN and this great question
together with its consequences be referred back TO the
arbrament of the people themselves, for their decision
and award in the premises and more especially as 1t Is
well nigh two years until the commencement OF the
term of the Office which it is now proposed 10 NIL, and
that highly probable that important events in which
our national prosperity and happiness may be deeply
involved may arise during the interim which 1t I'M
possible for US foresee, and furthermore, that
there will not be session of Congress intervening be-
the expiration of the term OF the present ncuu
bent aud the meeting of the next General Assembly,
Therefore be Resolred That the election OF Senator
to the Congress of United States for six next
ensuing from and after the ith day OF March lS47 be
postponed until the meeting OF the next General AS.
scmby.
This long apology for refusing TO perform sworn
duty was finally passed by % Yeas tLocos) TO %
Nays Wings one Loco believed the Legislature
ought TO choose Senator declining 10 vote. So no
Senator will be chosen until eight months after the
expiration OF MIR. Berriens present term.
