Monday, June 25th, than he has ever been
since. After the first excitement, people
cooled down, and upon examination they
vera astonished that the Seccders had them
selves put up a squatter as their candidate,
md rejecting more and more upon it, they
nave come to the conclusion that they were
.ctuated not by any desire to do the South
! real service, but simply to wreak their
vengeance on man, to continue the "wick-
,dly foolish war commenced by Buchanan
wo years ago, and also by desire on the
part at least Of some of the Seceders, to se~
cure the election Of Lincoln (whom Buchan-
IN had previously aided in his contest with
Judge Douglas) and thus precipitate dis
of the Union. Consequently the
Democratic people are fast abandoning the
Seceders' ticket, the residuary legatee Of
III the corruption and denominations Of the
present outrageous administration-thc sup,
pie tools of the camp followers and plum
ierers.
In this (Richmond) county, it is said by
those who ought to be posted, that there

sand. Gentlemen from Columbia inform
us that there are seven out Of 500 in that
county. From Lincoln We hear Of none.
In Wilkes there are goodly number, but
they are very anxious to compromise. The
Democrats, We learn are almost
unanimous for Douglas and Johnson; and
the same news comes also from Hall and
Habersham. The Seceders bid fair in Geor-
gia, according to present appearances, to
die out before the first frost.
