GEORGIA..

Why is it that OF all the States in the
Union Georgia should furnish the largest
number comparatively of Conservatives who
declare that they will not vote for GREELEY
even if ne he nominated at Baltimore: We
answer. Mr.. STErnENs aud Mr.. TUuMES have
brought about this state of things. They
have acted positively or airmatircly; and
the Democratic papers or the state have
failed To act. We cannot but feel mortified
that the press of Georgia should have <u-
fcrcd itself to be silcnccd by any man or sci
of men. A bold and manly advocacy Of
GREELEY's nomination on its part would
have silenccd the croakcrs and secured the
electoral vote of Georgia for the peoples
candidate. The newspaper that is honest
aud conscientious and able to give 20 cd
reasons for the faith that is i'll it, will always
find people enough at its back. 1t can
weed its own row. No Journal i'll Virginia,
so far as we know, ever thought Of waiting
to know how the members or the cN-llcm-
bers of Congress from this State were
affected towards GREELEY. One journal ut
least declared that it was not anxious to
know how our congressman stood, being
fully persuaded that they would not be
found travelling i'll opposition tn the current
created by the breath of the people. There
has been, we believe, not ono single instance
even in Georgia in which the people of the
place wherein paper was published failed
agree with it if it boldly advocated GREE
LEy's claims. or course every Democratic
paper in that State will soon be supporting
GREELEY, and will repent in sark-cloth and
ashes that it has said So many foolish things
concerning him. TooMns and STEPHENS will
never again succeed in trammcllng the press
of Georgia.

atiackin" Mr. Greeley the Springfield he
pHhi,c0t -;iyS:
Mr.. Greeley is not the Ilan who Is here
described. Ii is true that he is IL far re-
moved irom the conventional saint as from
the ideal statesman that he has been rather
a student Of affairs than Of books, AMI rather
Il worker than Il student: that he has
cro,ccs and CcCcntricitics and weaknesses
thu, he has tolerated political associates and
parasites of IL very dubious sort; that he
will never be Beau BrlmIncl or Count
D'Or&ty. Eut it i not true that he Is either
Il corrupiunst, or an actor, or clown. Inc
people believe him TO be an honest man, and
this belief of theirs cannot be shaken by
"Icadin" articles" no matter how eloquent.
They know from the testimony OF their own
eyes and ears that if he slows his pantaloonS
into his boots or uses uncvan%cIlcal language
it is IN loco that in public he Is quite as
dccorutIs, to say the least. in dress. behavior,
and language, as was Andrew Jackson or
Abraham Lincoln. They may vote against
him for this Of the other reason, but 1t viii
he very hard work TO convince them that ne
is an enemy to the Republic, or that its
liberties would he impcrllcd by his moving
into the White House.
The fact is that the Horace Greeley Of the
Ec.njng Post is not to be found in real life ;
has no lcsh-;,nd-hlood existence. The veteran

Governor Jacob.

The friends of Governor JACOB, of West
run IS III independent candidate for Gov.
ernor. Knowing the man as we do, We are
surprised at his course. IIo is Il modest, re-
firing gentleman, whom no one would accuse
of propensity for thrusting himself unasked
upon the people. He evidently considers
that he has been badly treated by the Demo-
cratic Convention of the State. But this be-
lief is based upon the mistaken notion that Il
snan has claims upon his party, or upon the
people, or to some office or position. 1t is u
belief which could not find place in the mind
of man who holds that no person can pos
sibly set up a Just claim to any office or to a
nomination for any Office. Before a man
can be entitled to Il nomination for any
given Office he must be entitled to the office
itself. Does Governor JACOB really believe
that he was first entitled to the Office of Gov
ernor of West Virginia, and consequently
10 the nomination for it? Can he hold that
any man has a claim to any office Is not
the welfare of the State the consideration
which should govern nominating conven-
ton?
We do not know how many Democratic
votes Governor JACOB will receive; but our
belief is that he will be badly beaten. He
has consented to be a tool Tor the Radical
party, and viii base.t to run as such, and us
such ne cannot command many Democratic

pa,,ros.rt.,;o, in Conventions.


During the session of the late State Con-
ycntion of the Conservative party attention
was called TO the basis Of representation
provided. for the various conventions OF i'e
narty--Staic, congressional. senatorial, %c.
The subject was referred TO the Executive
Central Committee.
There is blu. one proper basis OF represci'-
tation; and that is, not the registered voters
nor population. but the Conservative vote
east az the last general election preceding any
convention. There is no justice in restrict
inc the counties to ono, or two, or three, DEL
egatcs from a township; nor in restricting
cities TO one, OF two. or three delegates from
voting place. 1t is often the case that the hiSn-
est interests of the party demand larger oeie'
CATION than the one provided for by the p'ih
of organization. Staunton, for instance, WIS
entitled. we think, to but one delegate III the
late State Convention; yet in stanton re-
side A. II. n. STUART, JAMES ii. SKINNER,
MARSHALL HANGER, JoHN Il. BALDWIN, and Il
dozen other men whose presence in State
convention would always presumably be
beneficial 10 the Conservative party. We
give this c,se rs a mere illustration. Madi-
son Ward indeed every ward, in this city,
bas suffered from this restriction. SO has al
most every town, city. and county ID VIZ
g;r;, por,ial remedy was sought and
found i, Some NJ the counties, 1t consisted
or = resolution passcd in county meeting,
nr,yid;n. that some distinguished gentle
man sb,uld he authorized to represent
any township in the county not otherwise
represented, Colonel FI0rnxoY, Of Halifax,
BKapLrY 4. Jou.scS. Esq, OF this city, Qor
Roanoke county,) and perhaps other men Of
mark. were thus provided with seats in the
late Convention. Now, there is no good
reason why such a state of things should
cvisi l, would he well. pcrhaps. to restrict
the number Of delegates to which Richmond
sho,,id he entitled. or any other place 1T
which -, convention mipht he called: but

have more delegates in u convention here
than they are entitled to.
