The Georgia ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of The Repub
lican Popers-Teeling IN Georgia tocdrds Ne'o York
Cay-Peace War-Repudiation, dc.
The Georgia Convention cont aims large share Of
best talent. It's deliberations conducted with calm
ness dignity The signing the ordinance Of secession
was marked with seriousness and many hands were
meved by sad hearts to this important duty Georgia
has been Union loving State, and nothing but deep
seated conviction Of danger to life and property under
abolition rule has driven her to secession The Conven
ton consists Of three hundred delegates, all of whom
hut six have signed the ordinance Of Sc
ccssion, and those six have spread upon its minutes
a pledge Of fealty 10 the State, that Georgia
unit and starts upon her new career with the
universal accamations Of her people.
The republican papers, the face Of these facts persist
emily msod their by gross misrepresentation
They vlify mobocrats terrorziug Mt the polls and
suppressng the feelings Of the people at the late
election. How unfounGed these charges your New
York merchants who have lately visited the South can
testify. We have been less excited far, very far less,
than in many of former political contests We were
united for resistance but preferred immediate
son and then Cooperation whilst others chung coopcra-
among the Southern States FIRST and then secession
Really IL was only point Of time That differed about
In all the counties where such division existed two tickets
and people voted they chose The result after
full and fair by the press and from the stump
triumph OF the secessiopiss And here the election
cradles me to stamp with fasehood the oft repeated
declarations Of the dbotonsts that our non-siave-
holders would be dsaectei in this crisis The majority
OF the counties IN which the census shows but few
saves returned secessioEss 20 the Convention And of
TIE 125 600 men subject to miitsy Guty, who stand
ready 10 battle to the death made upon US, nine
out Of ten are non Shareholders. Why will not the
TiJane and Courier and Enquirer be magnanmous and
truey They and their party have driven to
uctant step nnd misreprese.t TO their deceived
readers would suppose that their misrepresena
tions and exceptions to the people OF the North 10
truth shem satisfy their betrayed readers. How
noble and how patriotic has been the Of the fiE
contrast with these sheets. Had The people Of
the Moth needed the HTRAID, would have been
spar ed tire troubles which aiiict the country.
Nor s ttrse the republic assert that the South
in rebellion becaufe the North the President
Had the North wise upon tho prin
pies Of tecesstituton, the South would most cheerfuy
have submitted Yea, more, bad the North given US
safe constitutional administTatoa--one that would
have forever banished slavery agitation aud agi-
,ators from its counsels, the masses at the
| South would have hailed il with loud acclaim. We
tired OF agitation and sighed for peace And the
dsuDtpiss woad have found their occupation gone
under such administration. Bat, alas alas the
North rave administration in which slavery and
