His moral, industrious and enterprising

new names registered there, from various
parts Of The South aud West. The other

State Of Parties in Georgia.-The Democrats

This secures TO that party, two United States
Senators, a Judge of the Supreme Court Of

What the particular policy of the State may be,
is however uncertain. Georgia will never be

lieve that she will yet be true to her own inter.
