The southern press., 1850-10-03
Tho Press OF Georgia

From the Columbus Times we extract the
following editorial. The submission stock (it
would appear is rather at discount in Georgia
The list of papers which it promises will be use
ful--at such time as this it is well that the
public should know the bias of the prints which
are quoted as exponents of Southern sentiments
SKIES BRlGHT Southern exchanges this
morning come to us buoyant with hope, and ami
mated by the noblest spirit of resistance to ty-
ranny and inhexib.e determination 10 stand by
the South. This is particularly the case with the
Pass of GEORGIA. As we have unfoded them
this morning one after the other, we have felt
hopes for the South rising higher and higher; our
courage in the good cause elevated, and our pride
in the spirit OF our countrymen, and especially
our brethren of the Southern Press, raised to the
highest pitch of exultation, Georgia is not going to
submit Let no man believe IL. The Savannah
Georgian, the Augusta ConstitutiOnalist, the Ma
con Telegraph and Tribune, the Augusta Republic,
the Rome Southerner, the Dalton Times, the
Cherokee Advocate, the Griffin Jelfersonian, the
Savannah News, the Southern (Athens) Herald,
the Lumpkn Advertiser, the Ringgold Repub-
lican, the Columbus Sentinel are all glowing with
high hope and stern determination. Their bugle
notes ring in our ears, and reverberate from the
mountain to the seaboard, to electrify the popular
heart and fire il with courage to meet, repel, and
resent the wrongs done the South.
| We are preparing list of the REsIsrANcE and
SUBMISSION papers of Georgia. As far we have
made it, the former outnumber the latter nearly
tco to one. And if they beat them in numerical
force, they infinitely beat them in the spirit that
animates them. SUBMISSION is a hard doctrine to
preach in the land Of Troup. Its presses and its
orators feel it II sits like an incubus on their
energies, and even their pro-union wailings as
feeble as " Taunton water" that wont run down
hill. OF a like character is our editors cores
pondence Every letter get from the people
harps on the same string. The burthen of then
ali is :" stand firm-you are right-the people are
with you-send me your paper There is moth
ing to fear in this contest, but cowardly mis-
trust of the people Some men are afraid the,
will back out, when it is the pallid fear Of theil
own hearts that fathers the thought We judge
the people by our own feelings five burn at the
infamy to which our native country is reduced
why should not other Georgia hearts burn too
if we reject with scorn and loathing, the cup OF
wrong and degradation commended to lips by
| Northern hands and Southern recreants, is it no
| equally bitter to our countrymen every where? II
we ready to face all consequences in preference
/ to the certain ones OF present disgrace and fna
abolition and ruin, involved in submission, what
reason is there that every Georgian's heart has
| not been forced to the SAME determined conclu
| sion
/ Away with the thought Of submission. Th,
people are sound, true and brave. They vii
maintain their rights and overwhelm Northerl
! aggression. Southern submission and treachery IN
a common and glorious defeat.
