TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

It has become our painful duty to announce
the death Of our brother, JOHN Robertson, of
this vicinity, who died on Wednesday, the
4th of this Instant after an illness Of near
four weeks.
Brother Robsrson had been n brother and
fellow soldier with us in the field of Temper
ance for near four years, fighting under :he
unfured banner of Love, Purity and Fidelity.
But Death, that icy.handed monster of the
living and stern monarch Of all our terrors,
had been for time lurking around the door
of the unsuspecting, and as the lamb that
plays in the 6owery mead below is snatched
bv the eagle from the mountain summit, so
was brother Robertson from his place Of abode
by the ruthless hand of terrific death. The
once manly form, the sparkling eye the
blooming cheeks and athletic limbs are now
motionless in deaths cold embrace. He sleeps
to wake no more till called by the immacu-
late son to rise from out the cold bed OF the
Numbering dead. He is gone from among us
no more 10 be with us. His soul to the God
that gave it. We hope his death may be
warning to his friends, and more particularly
to those of his own household, to guard
against lin the use of the proper means, be.
ing overtaken Unexpectedly and called away
unprepared.
NAV God bless them. ana let this bereave.
mept be for their good, and also for that oil
the writer Of this tribute. -,
We must not complain at things unavoida'
BILE. nor think God exacteth more than is due
him. Il was no that gave and he that hath
taken away. Blessed be God for all He does
is Just and right; His will be done and not
ours.
Whereas. IL has pleased Him to take from
our midst our brother John Rober'on-
Resolved, That we deeply sympathize with
the wife and bereaved family of the depart
ed brother in this affection, which God in his
wisdom has seen fit to bring upon them.
Resolved, That the brethren OF Madison
vile Division, No. 26s, wear the usual badge
of mourning for thirty days as a mark OF re-
spect for the brother deceased.
Resoiped. That copy Of these resolutions
be forwarded to the Athens Post for publica'
ton. and, also, that a copy be presented to
the bereayed family Of the departed brother.

NOMINATION OF Mn. BUcuANAN-TnE VorE
EpIroMrsED.-A tabular statement showing
the result of each ballot for President:

TIE CINCINNATI CONVENTIONAL cotempo-
rary thinks the Cincinnati Convention per-
formed at least one good action. 1t says they
have dismissed from public life one of the
greatest caricaturesfo Of statesman. They
have learned, not too late we hope, that great
men cannot be made ID hurry, nor the incu'
baton of a turbulent Convention hatch out
an eagle from IN added egg. Even the de-
magogues who have been so long picking at
the barn door of the public Treasury were
obliged to desert their companion and leave
him to his fate.

Mr.. Decentralization. James buchanan
the Democratic nominee for the Presidency,
was born in franklin county, Pa, on the 18th
DAY of April, 1891, being therefore, in his
sixty.sixth year, but looks even older than
most men do at that age. He is bachelor;
Int not we should say, in the matrimonial
market. Ladies' who are ambitious to preside
over the White House need not make anyex-
tra exertions, for there are two very strong
arguments, against him. The iirs: is, Mr. Buc,
hanan won't marry, and the second, no wili

Tur GREAT USsErTLED.--The New York
Express says James Buchanan is the man that
never settled any thing. He settled down
Federalist in early life, but his connections
becoming unsettled, he turned out fulb
fedged Democrat. As diplomatist, he un'
dertook to settle" the Oregon controversy,
by holding out for "64 40" as "clear and un'
questionable" but his claim in that business
was awfully unsettled" by the acceptance
OF some five degrees less. lie went to Eng
land, but settled" nothing. He came away
leaving every thing unsettled, He tried to-
but did not, settle the enlistment dispute
He did not settle the Central American ques'
ton. He did not settle the disputed arbtra'
ton Of the ClaytOn.Bulwer treaty. In short
he settled nothing. Altogether he has led a
very unsettled life. He has never settled any
thing, at home or abroad and we don't be-
lava he ever will.

Mr.. BUcHASAs-A S9ETcH.-The follow
ing sketch, personal and political Of Mr..
Buchanan, we find in the "Organ:"
MIR. Buchanan is gentleman Of fine per.
sonal appearance, Of mature age and exper.
fence, an old fashioned Fedcralist of the school
of the elder Adams, modern Democrat,
once good sound Native American, was a
strenuous advocate of the Missouri compro-
mise line; advocated its extension TO the Pa.
ctic Ocean; was opposed, a few years ago,
to the extension Of slavery into the Terrific.
ries; made speech in 1853 in favor of build
ing railroad to the PnciIic Ocean out of the
National Treasury, but is very willing to ac
comodate his notion to the exigencics of the
party which supports him. aud is now, Of
course 10 favor of all the resolutions which
the Convention adopted and would not have
objected to any Others they might have pre-.
scented. As he was violently opposed TO the
lust war with England, we presume, by way
of compensation, he would have pledged
himself in taror Of the neri war, if he had
been called upon to respond TO an inquiry
on this point. tt
With such antecedents, and the sketch is
true to the life, he may with the greatest
facility adapt himself TO any platform, which
the democratic platform mongers could con-
coct.
