THE PROSPECTS IN GEORGIA.

The election in Georgia takes place next month
The present Democratic incumbent, Gov. Towns, is
candidate for re-eection and is opposed by Judge
Hill Wing. The Democrats are confident of sue
cess while the Wings are divided among themselves
The Macon Messenger says:
eve have no such Z" cheering accounts - to give
to our whig friends but, the contrary, we feel
humliated in making the acknowledgment, that from
present prospects, shall be- shamefi be0ten. In
formation received from various sections Of the State
leaves doubt of the distracted, disorganized con-
dition of the whig party. We may be charged with
imprudence in making this disclosure, but candoI
requires it. As sentines Of the whg party, it is
exposed; and We now tell them, that unless their
divisions healed, inevitable defeat awaits them.
The Augusta Republican, another Whig paper,
frankly announces that the Southern Wings have
lost ground by their afilation with Northern Whig-
ism. That paper says: 3.
SIS there whig leader or whig editor in the
South who fears that General Taylor would sign the
Wilmot Proviso! If there be one it is his duty to
tell him the truth-to tell him that the day he does

Editor s. few '"Whig. leaders and Wing Editors in
this State, who fear" Gen. Taylor on this vital
point, and who when he proves false to the South,
will be found sustaining him nevertheless and hunt

RALEIeH 4
7WEDNEsDAY. SEPT, 10. 1919.

The Locofoco prints are raising clamor against
Mr.. Walsh, American Consul TO Paris, because ne
does not seem to favor the largest liberty IN Eu-
rome They scod General Taylor for not remov-
inc gentlemen that they are
Upon this point the Richmond Republican Justly re-
marks: 1--WE cannot bat admire the consistency
which condemns Gen. Taylor for removing men rom =
Office who differ from him upon the vital subject OF
American politics. and denonnces him not remoy-
inc man on account of his opinions on the poilcs
of Europe. Lfaae1gh fsgssler'
The Register, it appears, is very we'll satisfied
with MIR. Walsh as Consul to Paris, and does not
wish him removed. Now, who is Mr.. Walsh, and
what has he been doingl He has been engaged for
some time past in writing letters from Paris for Lit
tells Living Age and the New York Journal Of
Commerce, in which he uniformly sides with the
despotisms of Europe against the rising spirit OF
freedom in that quarter of the world In of his
recent letters to the Journal of Commerce, he eDlO-
gizes the Emperor Nicholas Of Russia, and speaks of
Russia as the only power which can restore Polit-
ical order and give sssafety civilization itself
in Europe! He has also taken part, in his letters,
with Louis Napoleon against the independent Journ-
ais Of Paris, and justified the rigorous measures
adopted to suppress them. In ine, this man, our
present Consul at Paris is Tory of the strongest
stamp the defender and apologst Of desPosm, false
to this land of liberty aud to the spirit which per-
yades all our institutions; and yet he is sustained
by the Raleigh Register, and the idea that he ought
to be recalled from the post which he disgraces, is
treated by that print with levity and ridicue Does
the Register know that the Republic, the organ of
Gen. Taylor, has denounced this conduct of Mr.
Walsh! That paper of the 10th instant says:
Here then, is Mr.. Walsh's political creed. 1t is
evidently written upon deliberation. He has heard
the complaints made in this country against him, and
he tells the sovereign people that he is an taror g
Nicholas, the despot, tie despoikr Of Poand-the arch
enemy Of liberty throughout the soorld. Nor is this
ALL Even the present restraints upon the press in
France sitting the voice of liberty and truth, do not
satisfy him; he evidently wishes more stringent
measures than these After this 1t seems 70 that
comment is a waste of words" sa
What will the Register say now? Will it still
find fault with the Locofoco prints " for raising
clamor against Mr.. Walsh ''-or will it 't Jump Jim
Crow now that the Republic has led the way, and
demand his removals We shall see.
