THE STATE EOF4GEORGIA.

Georgians3 can never iofset the con-
tumely and insult to which their State
was subjected under the administration Of
John Quincy Adams. Craven hearted is
,ha. son Of Georgia who can look back
upon her arduous lstruggie, led on by the
noble and high-minded trronp, against the
fearful odds Of 8the Federal Executive,
and feel a kindred spirit with those who
misrepresened her cause, and who sought
