GEORGIA.

The Democrats of Georgia recently held Con-
vention in Medgville, and nominated the Hon.
Fl. V. johnson for Governor. Eighty Counties
were represented, and 200 delegates were present.
The Convention unanimously re-adopted the Balti-
more platform, Resolution by Resolution, as its
platform. The following, it will be remembered,
is one of the Baltimore Resolutions:
RcsOIued, That the proceeds of the public lands
ought be sacrediy applied 10 the national objects
specified in the Constitution; and that are oppos-
ed any law for the distribution of such proceeds
among the States, alike inexpedent in policy and
repugnant 10 the Constitution"
The Democrats of Georgia are therefore, where
they were. They still against distributing the
proceeds of the public lands and they say nothing
in favor of dividing the lands themselves.

MASSACHUSETTS CoNvENTIoN. The body has now

The points which it has settled are thus stated by the
Tribune:
The Governor is to be chosen Gas hitherto) by an
absolute majority (not plurality, in this and
most other States) of the popular vote bet in case
no one receives such majority, he is to be elected by
the Legislature on joint ballot. Hitherto the House
has sent up to the Senate the OF two Of the
highest candidates The popular vote; and from
these two the Senate has chosen the Governor.)

property holder TO certain amount very proper

poor man stands precious little chance for such an
Office any how, that that the requision is super

must be a native of America is retained.
Lieut.. Governor Is TO be chosen the Governor,
and is not to preside over the Senate. He is no long
er TO be styled IS His Honor"
The Senate is consist of forty members as hith-
erto, but each be chosen by single district not
as now, by counties eIecIing them, one to six each
according TO population. The districts are to be e.
quail in population nearly may be. Each Sem
reside in the district he represents, and
have been Eve years resident. The Council (hith-
erto elected by the Legislaurs) is to be chosen by
the people from eight districts, and to elect one
Councillor. No Councillor can be appointed to any
office OF profit during the term for which he
lected.
The Secret Ballot is TO be engraftej on the Con-
stitution All votes must de profile red in sealed
Veope, the officers holding the election shall reject
them. This provision is not apply to the election
of town officers.
The Day of Election (State) is changed from the
second Monday in November to 4" the Tuesday sue

Il is also the day which Presidential Electors are

The Qualifications Of Voters have been diminished
by striking out the requirement that each voter
shall have been rated and paid tax within the year

The Regular Sessions of the Legislature are hence
forth to be limited by law to nin,ty days, and no
Legislature, except in case ofnvason or insurection
