whites who daily emigrate from Georgia, any
more than does Senator Hunter the best inter.

in addition to these counsellors, We have those
less talented, less polished BombaStcs Furiosos
such as Clay, Of Alabama, johnson, of Tenn.
Green, Of No., and all that ik ofimpracticablcs.
What are such men, We ask every reader,
that their councils prevail over the words Of
those who in times past have done not only more
for their party, but for their country And what
are they when compared with such men as Cit.

These are the men with whom the Executive

against this wrong. 1t is to be hoped that
once these extremists are defeated by this great
combination of the patriotic, union loving men
of the North and South, they will res ixc their
position in the estimation of the country and
so cease from troubling in the future.
