SENSATION DISPATCHES Read the follow
ing from the Georgia Chronicle and Senti-
mel:
The unscrupulous means and trckery re-
sorted to, during the late canvass to hurry
the people of G Georgia into revolution, before
they had time for reflection, stands witho /
a parallel SO far as our experience extends.
That such means should be resorted to by
some, who HI We INDUCED fully it has sur
prised no one, but that the gentleman occu-
pying the position I R. r Cobb, Esq did
occupy before the people of Georgia, should
embark in such trickery and deception, we
must confess has astonished us not "a little.
Mr.. Cobb has just entered the political
arena, and from the progress he has made
bids fair to out-Herod Herod, but we
presume he has come to the conclusion that
the "end juStifes the mea,tS," and nobly has
he done his work for he has practiced a great
fraud upon the people at least upon the peo-
pie of Habersham county.
Whatever may have been the result Of the
late election for delegates to the Convention.
we shall be slow to believe that a majority of
the people of Georgia are deliberately in fa-
vor of immediate secession They have been
deceived, and their passions have been in
famed and misled, by such dispatches as the
following, sent from Athens on the I'd day of
January, tie day Of tie election, in which

haps, its date. 1t is manufactured out of
