The southern press. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1850-1852, 1850-11-27

ced beyond doubt, by the following dispatches
received by us yesterday, from reliable
source, and though to be deeply deplored by all
who entertained the opinion Of the vital neces-
sity of strong action on her part, to rePel disas-
trous consequences to the South and to the
Union-this result is yet not wholly unex-
pected. With the powerful appliances brought
to bear upon this election, both internal and ex-
trinsic, those most confident of the good inten-
tons and good faith of her people, had yet rea-
son to doubt the issue.
FIRST DESPATCH.
AUGUSTA, Nov. Goth, 1850.
Morgan, Columbia and Warren counties have
gone for Submisson-Burke county for South
ern Rights.
SECOND DESPATCH.
In Bibb county the Submission ticket is
elected by 10 majority-in Chatham county
the same is elected by 100 majority. Southern
Rights ticket in Twiggs county victorious.
THIRD DESPATCH.
Sufficient returns have already been received
to make it certain that Georgia has surrendered
to the sulmissionists by large majority.
Thus far then the Submissionists-the buster
and-back-out party-have carried the day. How
they will proceed hereafter to extricate them
selves from the awkward and complicated en-
barrassments Of their position, remains to be
seen-for this is only the first step on long
road, and very crooked one, which they have
to travel. We sincerely believe this to be one
Of the cases in which victory on their part is
more disastrous than defeat-and of this the
more segaclous of their party in Georgia must
be fully conscious. Defeated, they would have
thrown the entire onus Of responsibility for all
the consequences that might arise in the rapid
march of events now coming to crisis, on their
opponents Triumphant, they must bear the bur-
den themselves, with the additional weight Of
the odium ever attaching to violated pledges and
broken faith--arising from the reputation Of
promises, and the remuneration of policy, sane
toned by the solemn and almost unanimous act
of her highest deiberativc body.

rision from the Abolition fanatics will echo their
shouts oftrumph. 1t strengthens their assertions,

agitators by this one days work in Georgia.

to imagine that it has found its terminus, even
after the vast possessions it recently has gain

atheism knows no stopping place, short of Hea-

grave" Proudly now will they point, first to
the threats and the warnings Of Georgia-and

coufound those friends of the South among
themselves, who have proclaimed, that they
would drive the South into resistance. High
er and stronger still will the crested wave roll
down upon the South, until secession will be
left the only Ark of salvation.
With that timdty which is at times the great
est rashness, the majority ofthe people of Georgia
have struck madly at the embankment which
alone can stay the waters of this hood-and if
their example be followed, if other and more
fearless hands do not repair the breaches they
