Let us wee rrom facts, which part ty trasts the people most. The Republicans say that the people ought to elect Judges and Magistrates for a short term of years so that popu lar judgment may be frequently passed ujMn ofiicial conduct. TUeXVansenativfltivi!! -U filter-Ue Constitution so tliat Judges and Magis trates may be elected for life by the tratc 'iclature. ' 1 ! ' J . " - ; The peoi)le are not politicians, and will elect men for Judges who have es tablkhcd a high 'character in the com munity, and in' the legal profession for h-arning, ability and integrity. ' They will select the "best men to administer justice; and determine the rights of the people, and will ' not le controlled by luirty cliques. ' ' '"' The iieiiple don't, understand,, or ap prove the dUhonest practice ' 6f leg islative' Uxj-rollmg. . . , Legislature are controlled by politi cians, and in that small and easily man aged body, Judge and Magistrates will be elected for party services and for the purpose of perpetuating party owcr. Let the people elect Judges and hold them responsible for the right perfor- macf-tluty, and we will have a wise anOusu(liciary. The Republicans believe tlmt tlTepeople are competent to 'elect their own-Judges, and they, therefore, oppose the. hiwyerarid pol iticians' revolutionary CVmrention which will deprive the loople of tliis just and Inherent power. The people , in a Lirge numler of the States exercise this iower, and we can not believe that the people of this State will go back Ut the old, times when a few aristocratic families control led all the good offices of the State. . The Republicans are not afraid to trust the people, but they oppose the. Convention because it is contrary to the Constitution, , revolutionary, unneofs sary, expensive, mid dangerous' to the leace, Ulerty and prosperity of the State. MAGISTRATES. yUnder th old Constitution the Mag istrates were appointed by the Legi.la ture. The appointments verc generally nuvitevin a frolic, but each .mem tier tork i-are to appoint in his county such men a; would b of service to him in polities or in the county Courts.. In this way counties were ruled by -cliques, and the-political lawyers in the little count v towns rulel theteopl ofi the count v. A little town meeting would be held and Esq. Tody would preside, ami the lawyer who had him appointed a Juxtiee was Kure( to be nominated. Such Justices were appointed for lire, and cared nothing for the people. They were verv convenient thinnh cretcs and with the old ca m and the jaN, they could control the action oT many a poor man .- ' . " - Under the new Itepublk-an tinstitu- tion these evils are done away, with There are now no life Magistrates no yi and 110 jail for poor debtors. Poor men now go into their Homesteads, in stead or the debtors jail ; their compan ions are happy wives and children in stead of felon. The people in their townships can elect their good and hon est neifrhljor for Magistrates, l and if they get a bad - officer they, iean turn him out at the next election. .Which party trusts the people most ! The revo lutionists want a Convention to restore the old order of things, the old cliques of "first families.". The Republicans want a free and enlightened people fully entrusted with the election of all officers, and the maiiagement. of their own affairs?. These are questions to be decided by the people in the August election. ' ! ' ' , ' v- HON. BEN. HILL OF GEORGIA. N. v, A correspouelent of the Tribune, thus reports this distinguisheel Georgian: People are very stupid who thiuk a great war changes nothing and ha no reulU. Jefil Davis nays 110 great questions can be dctrniiiied by anus; but Jiistory shows w Uiat the sruateHt questions tuat ever in terested the human race h we been Mottled by the sword, Our four 3 ears' contort et- tied certain questions anV produced certain chanseK. and it la true we aokiiowlothrcd it.

For the timeieiuir they seemed to be hurtful to us, and we dewpaired of the future, thinking we were ruined. Wheu a man goes from a bad climate to a good one he feel ill at lirst for the change, Jill great cliaiiges are hurtful. The South has MMMcd through a great revolution socially, politically, ami industrially, and it was neceasarily accompanied with much suffer ing. Dut tliat is all over now, and we are fairly ou the road to prosperity Th .Im provement that are going On in Georgia to-day are remarkable. We are recuperat ing from the lomes of the Mar. with won iterftd rupidjty, and in five years the State) will be wealthier than it was in 18G0, count ing the value of lav propprtr theai. I can at now that it will 1 for our good that the war eiukd as it did, and that Slavery was abolished ; and I believe it was ordml by Providence. . bat we want now la ptwue peace between the sections and peace be tween the States.
