with his own views.
Georgia was represented in the conference
BY the Hon. Benjamin II. Hill and the Hon

In opposition to Robert Toombs and Alexander
q. Stephens, who on the preceding night had
spoken against the Liberal movement, and In
favor of straight-out Democratic nomination
at Baltimore. They had, In fact, refused to
support Mr.. Greeley, even 10 case of his nomi-
nation at Baltimore. Mr.. Hill said there were
some who thought the opposition of these gen

as they were types of the Impractical Bourbon
element of the Democratic party, and had

There could be no doubt that the people OF
Georgia are earnestly In favor OF MIR. Greeley,

cause 1t Is the first chance they have had TO
show the North that they are sincere In their
protestations OF desire for peace, and are
willing to accept the results OF the war, and

is identified with all these measures, and at

than almost any other candidate who could
\ be nominated. Mr.. Hill thought that large
portion, of the negro vote would be given TO
Mr.. Greeley, as many oil them were employed

felt very kindly, and by whose opinions they
will be guided. Mr.. Hill thought the Greeley
