EXTRACT ofa Letter from Jasper Connin, Aug. :.
"The Democracy in this State are perfectly
aroused, and the finest feeling pervades our People
in every par, of Georgia. There seems 10 Dc but
one opinion prevailing among those of our party,
who have the means ofjudging with any certainty,
ami that is, that her vote will be given TO Polk.
The Wings lately began 10 show symptoms OF
alarm. and are rallyins their forces by every APP
pal which can BE- male to them by the cloquencc
ut their orators, the singing OF songs, ana the aus
play oiCoons and banners. But my opinion is,
iha, il will all fail them. The position they have
assumed in relation to Texas ana the Iaritf, has
split their party, 10 some extent, IN almost every
county in The State. The Democrats have ap-
pointed a Mass Meeting to be held at Macon on
81 inst. The meeting has been gotten up in
haste. a.i without sufficient time 10 allow many

ver.aelcss. il is expected it will be Il large assem-
blaze. Although our people are rather opposed
