From the Georgia Republican,
MACON. Ga, July 20, 1871.
Mr.. Editor tasitf ON
Sir-Having received quite
number of letters remonstrat;n,
against the plan of representation as
proposed, for the Southern States
Convention, viz I: one from each
Congressional district, andtwo from
the State at large-upon the grouud
that it denies a variety Of interests
representation, which deserve tbs
attention and encouragement Of
our people, such as mercantile asso.
Citations, societies for the promotion
of education and science, com.
paniss for procuring homesteads,
ETC., etc. I wish to say, see no
reason why such organizations Of
any respectable proportions NAV
not send o delegate to the Conyep-
ton. The call says, Eve suggest
that the respective States be repres-
entatively apportioned the same a.
they are in the Congress of the
United States etc. Thus, You see,
the Convention will have primary
jurisdiction over itsown status and
not be restricted by the suggestion
| made in the call. In other words
they may admit delegates represent
ing any interests they choose, re.
gardless of any seeming bar in thu
call. for we certainly meant to have
none that would limit the right of
the Convention per sc to regulate
it's own numbers.
As one I highly approve of the
plan Of sending a delegate from the
various associations whose strength
and. numbers entitle them to con-
sideration and respect. I have no
idea the Convention will confns
itself to any one topic, but that it
will be as comprehensive as possible
in considering all subjects involving
the interest and material advance
ment of our people. l am there
fore of the opinion that it would
not be unwise for said associations
to send delegates, subject to tn
approval of the Convention.
