ARlsrocRAno CHANGE OF CONSTITUTION
II may be interesting to the readers OF the HRHRiD to
learn that by the old State constitution OF Georgia each
county allowed one Senator This gave TO the mid
die and southern counties Of the State containing few
wealthy planters and settled almost entirely by slaves
as much influence as the hicky settled notwithstanding
counties Tho new constitution, while diminishing the
whole number OF Senator's gives TO every three southern
counties with hundred slave owning voters Senator
while three counties the north Of the State with six or
eight thousand voters, have but one Senator Also Tho
protex assigned to conform to the constitution OF the
United States by which the lower house represents popu
laton the upper territory. The real cause is that the
large slave feel that they fellowship with
the poor white man. and seaated from the North the
day not far distant when the poor white of the South
will be reduced 10 the quondam condition Of the ses Of
Russia.

pull trigger and push pike with as steady nerves and
stout did Southeiners and in no future
conflict with Northern troops will they advance with the
same confidence as then.
