The Convention.

All over the Northern and Southern States
the friends Of law and order, the supporters
Of our noble Chief Executive, are respond
ing to the call for the Convention which is
to meet in Philadelphia on the 18th Of Au-
gust next The call has stirred up the worst
blood Of the enemies Of the old Constitu-
ton. No sooner was it known that the move
ment was going to be grand one, one in
which the people were going to speak and
be heard, too, than the suckers of the Rump
began to squirm about and twist themselves
into all kinds Of caucussing knots to devise
some means by which they could point out
the wolf in sleeps clothing Dennison, Har-
Ian and Speed flew from their positions in
the Cabinet, because, as the say the spirit
which will prevail at the Philadelphia Con-
yention is not akin to the one which bore
them into Office, and, aided by such men as
Sumner, Stevens, and their kith and kin, are
loud in their ordinations Of wrath, and are
den0uncing in bitter terms all who CLAIM a
voice to be heard in the counsels of the ma
ton. Let them bolster up as we'll as posi-
bic their falling fortunes; it is natural that
they should but ere another twelve months

its own internal affairs. It's enemies have

Horrible Barbarity-A shocking affair
occurred few days ago in Wilkins county,
Ga
1.-TWO negroes, named Pompey O'Bannon
and William, went to the house Of John
Rollins and asked his wife for something to
eat She was about furnishing them with
food, when, it is alleged, they beat her to
death with clubs, and nearly killed, with the
same weapons, her infant and a little girl of
three years. Mr. Rollins was absent at the
time. It is not stated whether there were
any witnesses of the crime. Money was
the cause assigned for its commission. Pom
pey was soon afterward arrested and VIII
liam chased to the swamps. On the Both
ult, as Pompey was being taken to jail by
the officers, the people compelled them to
give him up He was chained to a stump,
ightwood heaped about him and set on fire,
and the man thus tortured to death

PoIIoY-Now that the registration Office
is open, let every one who can, consistently
procure certificate as loyal voter, do so
There is at least three or four hundred per-
sons in this county who can register under
the franchise law, and they should come for
ward and prepare themselves in order to as
sist their less fortunate neigh when the
time comes for them to use the weapons that
are now being distributed 1t does not fol-
low, as has been asserted by some persons,
that man will vote for Brownlowites be-
cause he is allowed to be looked upon as
legal voter; no, not a bit Of it Men have
already procured certificates that would as
soon vote for the Devil himself as Brown
low or anything resembling him in shape,
form or sentiment. In few months-not
a thousand, at farthest-a new legislature is
to be elected and a governor to be chosen.
The man who can register, and fails to do it,
not only wrongs himself directly, but indi-
rectly assists the presuming few who have
misruled us so long to attain another term
Of office and thus fails to extend helping
hand to those who are powerless and una
bic to speak through the ballot box for them
selves Again we say come forward and
get your certificate of registration, and
when the time comes, rebuke the recreants
who have held office by means of selfish leg

THEY RECOMMEND THE PHILA-
DELPHLA CONTENTION

Two members of Congress elect-Fowler
and Stokes-have signed the call for the
radical convention. The others recommend
the Philadelphia Johnson Convention to the
people Of Tennessee, saying
You are now grayely called upon by the
majority in Congress and his Excellency the
Governor to sanction an amendment to the
Federal Constitution which, if ratified by
the States viii deprive you Of your recog-
nized political power, and lessen the num-
Der Of your representatives in the National
Legislature unless you shall, at their bid
ding, clothe the negro with the right of suf-
frage.
This we are unwilling to do under any
circumstances.
We are we'll assured that you will not
sustain a party which would thus attempt
further to humiliate our noble State and en-
deavor to throw a cloud over the patriotism
of Andrew johnson, and that you will frown
upon men who will sUbYert the Constitution
Of our forefathers for mere partizan purpO-
ses, and that you VIII cheerfuIly cooperate
in a movement whose only object is the pre-
servation Of the rights, the dignity, the
equality, and the Union Of the States
