Mn Eprroa Through your able, influential and truly
national Journal by your permission wish to communal
cate 10 the national democratic party OF the Union the
news glorious victory lately gained by the democracy
OF the State Of Georgia the intoerant proscrpve
clark lantern american party, aided by the hafrs Of
democracy Of all shades and grades The dings Of this
triumph of the party of the constitution
have no doubt already reached "every city, town. and
hamlet in the Union but the circumstances and Difficult
ties under which il achieved may not be so well
derstood And select your Journal as medium for the
communication Of this glorious Intelligence and tho OBJ
saces overcome in the achievement OF the victory because
it is national in its and sentiments national in its
circulation and therefore, fit channel for the conveyance
o. truly national victory to the national democracy
hingism has met with little else than disaster
aud defeat at the hands of the democracy CALAMITY ass
ed by patriotic old-lne whigs in every southern State
since iusidionsy and rtively sought to gain the as
tendency in the Old Dominion and blot the fair escutcheon
Of the Mother Of States and Statesmen by fastening
upon her ytals, and eating out the glorious and time
honored principles Of free religious liberation and personal
equality and substituting in lieu thereof the Musings OF the
vile sepentongued demon spirit of intolerance bgoy
and persecution But to Georgia belongs the honor pre-
emneny of having struck the master sroke-a perfectly
irresistible Waterloo onslaughta blow that scorched and
withered the very vals that crushed out and dried
the very e-blood of the vile monster SO that 1t now lies
prostrae blasted huge trunk, headless body without
name Other States have done noby, and sent thrill
OF exulation through the great heart of the national de-
mocracy at each successive election But It was to be er
peced Of them and defeat would have been Notifying
in the extreme for the most Of them had relatively large
popular maorities in favor Of the democratic party which
is in all attitudes the party Of the constitution Virginia
led the van in the great contest which has been wagng
the South for successive months and forth from the
smoke and din of the battle with banners waving proudly
above her PROSTATE foe, undmmed and untorn; andD
she ought for she had large invncble democratic ms
jority in her favor and genuine democrats as true as
steel North Carolina, Tennessee Alabama and the ont
star State next engaged in the conflict and all sustained
themselves well and noby, and added aures to the
democratic wreath that has long and gracefully upon
the brow of EACH To have done otherwise would have
been lasting and almost ndeible disgrace and a
forfeit to that distinguished position SO long held
by each uniformly democratic States. But Georgia the
youngest sister Of the "Od Thirteen whose haowed soil
seemed be selected by the enemy for grand ptchbat
tie rallyng point, in which to concentrate his entire
orce-Georga where every side issue pressed into
service and every species and grade personal vuperato
caumny and abuse low and vile to merit contradiction
in connexon with the election of governor Of sovereign
State and national representatives called into requs
ton and piled with assiduity and zeal that would do
honor nober cause-Georgia, pvetpoised in regard
the state of parties heretofore boldly accepted the prof
ercd challenge engaged in the ercey contested struggle
and emerged with colors streaming high above her late de-
ant but utterly yanqnshed foe with the unprece-
dented, overwhelming and startling majority ofegM thou
sand clear eight Thus has knownothingism with its or
rid oaths its ridiculous, unmeanng mummcries and Its Sc
political machinery repusve to genuine, free open
hearted republicansm, alike subversve Of the dearest
rights and guarantees of the constitution and opposed to
the genius and spirit of liberal institutions met
with whitening, scathing rebuke, and mered fate.
Thus has Georgia met trodden down. and crushed this
political fungus this foul blot upon the intelligence and
heightened beray of the nineteenth century this loa
that has essayed sten itself upon the
politics of the country Thus has she gained for herself
political point of view tho proud sobrque Of the "Em
pire State Of the South which has been generously
awarded to her by her southern sisters for her enterprise
and liberal institutions, and which she has richly de-
served, and so gracefully worn. GEORGIAN
