rightly Judge OF the political condition OF the South
In the North the great republican party belevinghat
the South wilfny holds against all terms

IL the South does not reconstruct the States II is true
that their ouly evidence OF the condition Of the
South leads them TO make snch conclus ons, tor
while the great mass OF honest willing Southern gentle
silent, such men as Hill and roombs make in
ccndary speeches, which read Mt the North
exponents o. the feeling of the South The copperhead
press also leads this opinion, for whenever a
Southerner breaches his sentiments these ignorant
publish them radicals for expressing peaceable
opinions and the North thinks the Southern Ioyalst
exception in politics, and considers him virtually a
Northern man come South; and the South fails 10 get
the credit
AT the same time men Of respectability the Soub

buncombe Of Hill and Toombs. and also believing that
the North hates them restrained from taking such
action expressing such sentiments their hearts
inspire. This OF affairs is greatly aggravated by
the indecent actions Of some radical politicians South,
who hopeful of Office for the bref few years during
which they may survive, means TO ntimidate and
crush honest men better than themselves.
The charge that the white race and the black are at
wholly untrue. Georgia is not Tennessee, where
the contest Is carried principally by white politicians
We have heard gentlemen of Savannah, exCon'ederate
officers, say that the Savannah negroes good
and that most of the arrests made Of fugitive
rascas and have every evidence that The colored
OF Georgia have great respect for the white gentle
