RALEIGH, SATURDAY, OCT. is. 1883.
GEORGIA.

There is no longer any doubt of the election of
johnson, Democrat, as Governor of Georgia, by
majority of eight hundred or one thousand The
gentlemen who seem to be elected to Congress are
Seward Colquitt, Bailey, Dent Chastain and Hill
yer, six Democrats; and Stephens and Reese, two
Wings. The Democrats have also majority in both
branches of the State Legislature
The gallant Democracy of Georgia (says the Wash
ington Union) has done it's work nobly. By tele-
graphic despatch received yesterday afternoon we
learn that ninety two counties have been heard FROM
and the ascertaned result is that the Democrats have
elected their governor, majority in the legislature,
and the majority of the congressional delegation.
Five Democrats Seward, Colquitt, Dent, Chastain,
and Hillyer-are certainly elected to Congress.
Bailey is regarded as doubtful and the only Wings
known to be elected are Stephens and Reese
Such is the response which the Empire State of
the South makes to the ayowed principles and poll
cy of the administration of President Pierce Such
approval by the people of the South-shown, as
it is by the whole series of southern elections clos
ing in this great Democratic victory in Georgia-is
the fit reception of policy which looks to the inter-
position of the whole power of the united democracy
to shield the country from the evils and pers of
renewed sectional agitation
we OSO copy the lOuOWlS Hei-llueu IeudIhs
from the Washington Union:
"THk PRRsIDxST's PoLICY.-THB VOICE OF THE
PEOPLE Before the mails can bring us the full de-
tails of the glorious triumph by which the united
democracy of Georgia have just sanctioned the pol
icy of the President the telegraph will convey to
the thunder-tones in which the united democracy of
Pennsylvania and Ohio this day speaking to the
same effect 1t is the acclamation of the people
the people of all the sections and all the Statesgiv
ing solemn sanction and support after trial. and up
deliberate consideration to the only plan of states
manship which is adequate to the wants of the
try, because it is the only plan which can hope to
array the achole force of the democratic party against
a renewal of the sectional agitation. The recent
manifestation of this sense of the people, made
out in the result of the whole unbroken series of
elections which have taken place in the South and
as now spoken forth most loudly and most trium-
phantly in Georgia, is undoubtedly the capital polit
ical indication of the time. The only question be-
fore the people of the South in these elections has
been the question of sustaining the administration
in it's recognition of all democrats eligible to Office
who in good faith rallied upon the national platform
in the presidential contest Everywhere in the South
the wings raised the same cry which the wings in
New York are raising now, that this policy OF the
President was in effect faternizatiOn with the free
soiler. Everywhere the same answer was made by
the united democracy of the South, that no demo-
crat is free-soier who honestly and in good faith
accepts the Baltimore platform his political creed.
And everywhere in the South the people at the bal
lot-box have triumphantly sustained that answer as
sound and sufficient and have yindicated the policy
predicted upon as not only policy of good aith
but also the only policy by which domestic tran
guilty can be secured to the country. To accom-
plish that great object the democratic party united
at Baltimore To consummate its accomplishment,
the President has recognised and maintained that
union And now the people have pronounced upon
his course, and have pronounced 1t good.
Nowhere by reason of obvious facts, has this
great issue been made prominently and SO precise
ly as in Georgia Eminent whig leaders there refus-
ed to support General Scott through just fears of the
ree-soil tendencies of the men whom if elected, he
would bring into power. These same leaders, clear
ly perceiving the vantage ground upon which this
course placed them before the South rallied to
in desperate effort to break down President Pierce,
under the charge that he, t0o giving office to
feesoilers. Had there been any truth in their accu
sation these men, of all others, stood in the position
to command for it the popular belief But they were
met by united democracy-a democracy led by
men who but short time before had stood opposed
70 each other as Union democrats and State rights
democrats, but who now stood shoulder to shoulder
st .ne nead OF one national democratic party-and
Deore tnls grand and powerful array the wings and
!heT accusations nave gone down together. Such
Is the verdict OF the Empire State of the South Be-
'ne sun OF TINS gay shall set Pennsylvania and
Ohlo-the populous and potent centre Of the Union
will have given to that verdict, by an immense
majority, their conclusive confirmation.
