The election will take place on the 25th of
November, and the canvass will be an animated
and an active one until its close The future
character and position of the State Of Georgia
depend on the manner in which her action verifes
her promises and her threats.
The Augusta Constitulionalist, the leading
Democratic print in Eastern Georgia, thus en-
dorses the ticket on which appears the name of
JAMES NJ SMyTHE, editor of the ablest Wing
paper in the same place. The Constitutionatist
is one of the most moderate of all the Resistance
presses. But it will be seen that Richmond
county has made the boldest issue, and that the
Constitutionalist stands up to the ticket. We
append its article
In our last paper was announced the nomi-
nations of the Southern Rights Party of this
county of its candidates for the Convention.
They are George w. Lamar, James M. Smythe
David F. Dickinson, John C. Snead, esq's.
1t is due to candor to say that this ticket en-
bodies much of what is termed by our opponents
ULTRAIsM. It's well known that many Of the
Southern Rights Party, are utterly opposed to
the adoption of secession as the mode and
measure of redress for existing wrongs, and
ms the only course for future protection of South
ern Rights. 1t may be and we believe, is the
fact that the majority think this extreme mea-
sure not yet necessary or expedient, and hope
that such necessity may be averted by action
short of this, and within the Constitution and
the Union. But where various shades of
opinion are entertained by persons acting to-
gether for comuon object, as to the best
mode of action, it is an impossibiity that all can
be suited in the selection of their candidates.
Nor have those right to complain, who hav-
ing the numerical force to select candidates of
exactly their own views, refuse to attend
meetings of the party and have their voices
heard.
On the contrary we take the position that they
should cordially and zealously SUPPORT the ticket
nominated, if it comes nearer representing their
views than does the ticket rendered by the Sub
mission Party. As between secession and sub
mission our choice has been already declared.
The candidates on the Union Ticket advocate
! the do nothing policy. They hold that there is
no ground for resistance, and no occasion for
any action on the part of Georgia through her
convention. Two of the candidates on the
Southern Rights ticket, Mr.. Lamar and Mr.. Dick
inson prefer the policy of secession. Perhaps we
should say they believe that no step short of Sc
cession will be effectual. The other two, Dir.
/ Snythe and Mr. Snead are favorable to trying
measures of redress, and of future protection
short of secession.
Another Move.
We would like to know whether the Pres-
