that these things are not all
that constitute manhood. Ii

How ONE Glass of Wine
Changed the History
of the Country.

II Is sad that a single glass
OF vine probably wrecked the
whole Democratic party In 1860
The story is worth telling
After the breaking up Of the
national Democratic convention
at Charleston, y C., the party Ia
GeOgia held a State Convention
Great excitement prevailed
Tie leaders Of the party could
not agree. IL was a critical
period.
The majority report endorsed
the secrders or boilers az Char
lesion. while the minority report
opposed their action. The lead
ing campaign cf the min orit,
was Her-ehel v. johnson. ard
his followers wcre confident
that his eloguenee aud logic
would carry the city.
II is quite likely that such
would have been the ease but
for an unfortunate mlshap. Ex.
Governor Johnson began his
speech before the noon adjourn
ment on the second day. and
concluded after dinner.
Old men vho remember that
speech say that IL was a power.
ful argument, and the impression
gained ground that after the
noon recess the speaker would
demolish his opponents with a
few siedge hammer blows.
. But the over-confident friends
of the minority report were
doomed to disappointment.
Johnson felt the strain of the
morning session so much that
he was unable To eat anything
So he took a glass of wine upon
an empty stomach to strengthen
himself. That one glass of VINE
perhaps changed the destiny OF
the nation.
The great orator resumed bis
speech, but the wine had nau.
seated him. He Was hay. yer.
bose and unintelligent at times.
Ills style Of argument lacked
vigor, consistency and positive.
ness. His friends looked at one
another in despair. The men
on the 9th er side were exultant
Ii was evident that the speaker
had damaged his own cause.
Then Howell Cobb and Henry
Il. jackson followed each other
for the majority report. They
spoke with an air of expeciant
triumph and captured the con.
vention.
The majority report was ad.
opted. IL IS unnecessary to fol.
low the history of the next few
weeks. The national Democracy
was completely disrupted and
put Two tickets in the field.
Lincoln was elected, and the
country was plunged into civil
war. Had johnson succeeded
IN inducing the Georgia eonven-
ton 10 adopt his conservative
ideas, II is safe To say that other
Southern States would have
fallen into liue with our common
wealth, ard the national Demo.
cratic party would have remain.
ed united.
This is the story of what a
little glass of wine did. II

disastrous war. and, besides the
loss Of life in the South, over
