A GEoRGrA-MADE BRooM.-We haye before US the
pest broom we ever saw, and what is better it is of
Ueorgla manufacture, the whole fabric being the
product OF Liberty county. 1t is of unusual size
ana strength, and put together in every part in
manner that cannot be exceed at the North or else
where Messrs. Lyon & Trask, of Riceboro', are
the enterprising gentlemen who have embarked in
the experiment, and though but few have Been
made from their last crop Of corn-some twelve or
thirteen dozen-if properly encouraged, they intend
to go largely into the business. And why not?-
The idea of Georgia housekeepers sending all the
way to Connecticut for broos to do their sweeping
is simply preposterous, when you come to think Of
It, The one before us Is worth three of the Yankee
manufacture, and can be bought nearly as cheap,
without the aid of abor-saying machines to reduce
the cost Of making. We hope our Riceboro' friends
will persevere in the work they have commenced,
and we think we can promise that Savannah house
keepers Will consume all they will be able to make
for the next five years They will accept our thanks
for the very excellent article with which they have
favored us.-SdranRah Republican.
We have no doubt that the broom above spoken
OF by our contemporary was neso, and the best he
ever saw" Now if the Republican could see some
of the brooms that made here by the Blind boys
of the North-Carolina Institution, his experience
and knowledge in and of brooms would be extended,
and he be unwlngly forced to admit that ours were
the brooms after all Yankee brooms are no 60 in
this community.

national. Go on-your course will be approved at

If we thought it necessary or proper we might
fill several columns of paper with extracts from
letters received since our return from Baltimore, in
which the writers pleased to approve our course
in the warmest terms.
Our venerable Orange county friend also informs
us that the Democratic prospects are good in that

How New YORK WILL Go-The Albany Argus
and atlas, in a late ISSUE under the head of New
York for Douglas" says
1--WE believe the electoral vote of this State will
be cast for Stephen A. Douglas. All the signs of
the times indicate such a result There never was
any doubt in regard to the preference of the Demo-
cratic masses of the State for the Illinois Senator !;
nor was it at any time doubted that New York could
be carried for him in the Presidential contest This
was the calculation of Democrats even with the
strong name of VIM. H. Seward in the field against
them The withdrawal of that name has subtracted
from the Republican strength many tens of thou
sands.
- -
Our friends in New York City, and along the riv-
err promise to send up the electoral ticket to Albany
with fifty thousand majority; and this without
counting Albany, Rensselaer, and the interior coun-
ties many of which will roll up large majorites for
the Little Giant
We have not rushed precipitately to this conclu-
sion OF Democratic victory in this State. We have
not assumed it rashly. We start with Democratic
majority, as shown in the last election. We can
count accessons to the party by tens of thousands
we meet an enemy demoralized by change of lead
erS, and by inherent division and distrust"

CUMBERLAND AND HARNErT.-An esteemed friend,
writing us from Fayetteville, says: "You may rely
on Cumberland and Harnett rolling up their usual
Democratic majority" That is all their Democratic
friends elsewhere ask of them Let other Counties
Ego and do likewise" The people of Cumberland
and Harnett have not forgotten that Gov. Ellis was
the warm friend of their Road when they needed
friends As for Mr. Pool he voted for the River, "
but he gave ''the Road" the cold shoulder.
