What noble patriots these Wing leaders are! They
abuse for possessing the spells of office, although
Mr. Van Buren, has left hundreds and thousands of his
opponents in place. They affect an indifference to the
spoils if butter would not melt in their mouth-and
yet anayze their conduct test their present professions
by their future acts-sce who it is among these noisy
sIannwhangcrs, that will take office, if w. H. Harrison
succeeds Look al the Orators for example Of last week,
Look at the Chief Lion, ID. Webster. He aspires TO
the first seat i'll the Cabinet. w. c. Rves is struggling
and comes here to give him claims upon the Wings for
the Senatorship. Three discarded oficehoders were
here their omplants, and claim restoration.
Who has sought and who will seek the Office of l.. S.
Attorney; .N0nS IcrronS--Wc have not heard Of one
Orator among them, who publicly disclamed all aspi
raons the loaves and fishes Let them forward
and openly pledge themselves u ask or take nothing
from w II. Harrison. They will then have some claim
for their exertons not to Office hut the character Of
magnanimous disintercsted patriots.

The election for members of Congress, and oil the
S,ate legislature took place the 9TH instant The
Wings are Growing quite Justify over the first returns
but as usual they raise the note OF triumph before 'hey
are out of the woods. The Georgia papers announce
he result in So counties out of % IN the Stale, and IN
these the average vote for the Democratic candidates
for CONGRESS is 1850 for the Wing candidates locI
The same counties gave in 1880 1913 votes for Nc

Tho IN counties not vet heard FROM gave IN 1889 De-
,nocra,c majority of 1867 and, should they give a
Lilo Wi. the present wear the Democratic candidates
far Conorrss will be elected by near 900 majority
II will be seen that the counties heard from are chiefly
Wing: not a word having been yet received from the
strongest Democratic sections OF the Statethe Chero
kee country especially
With regard 10 the Legislature the Wings have car
ried a majority in The Senate and may possibly do in
the lower House In many countless however, they have
succeeded by bare ma orItles sometimes by six and
even as low as fonr votes. The Augusta CONSTITUTIONAL
list says
ino of the returns to be heard FROM by those already
10 be received we much fear that the receptions mis-
representations and false statements of opponents
have too we'll succeeded with creduous, though in
tegent people, who too late, will find that imposition
has been practised upon them With regard to the le
gslature the Harrison party may have minority in
the Senate and possibly in the House also: the returns
to be received will determine the complexion of that
legislative body But it remarkable that far, the
loss of our party for the legislature, has been effected
by few votes In Gwinne,t, Monroe, Bib, Jasper
and Washington, the Harrison ticket succeeded by
few votes Another battle is to take place. Will
our friends be wide awake;-Will they let the Wings
carry the State for man who Will be a mere tool in
the hands of Clay Webster and other Federal leaders
We cannot believe it vet We will believe such re-
suit only when the Governor will have issued his pro-
clamatIon, announcing the choice by the citizens OF

The reader will not fail TO remember that Georgia has
ever been huctnating State In 1887, the Wing Go
vernon elected by 76l majority. Last year De-
nocratc Governor elected by near 1000 majo-
rity. In October 1896 the Democratic candidates for
Congress were elected and November, of the same
year, the Wing Electoral Ticket had majority of sou
votes There yet strong to believe that the
ship will right herself in November, and Georgia be
found once more voting among the Democratic States.
