ROuallern Affairs.

In Northern Georgia the white vote
was very generally cast for the Conven-
tion and Reconstruction. In that region
there are but few negroes, and the Union
sentiment was always alive. The people
are generally rather poor and ignorant,
and owners of land in small way. 1t
was their vote, added to those cast by the
negroes in the Western part Of the State,
that carried the Convention by large
majority. A Georgia letter, speaking ot
the +" Conservative" expectations, says:
The continued success of the Auti-R Rad
icals at the Northern elections confirm
aud strengthen the convection and en-
courage the confident expectation that re.
fiel from universal negro suffrage and all
the most obnoxious portions of the lie
construction acts, will be attained as no
distant day. The refusal of Kansas and
Minnesota to adopt negro suffrage, and
the result in New York, where the issue
was squarely made as to the right OF
Congress to command negro suffrage IN
the Southern States. intensiiies the hope
to which the popular vote in Ohio gave
birth. Ii news of these elections has
caused great jubiation among the Peo-
pie Although no one can see clearly
how this manifestation Of the popular
will is to afford an immediate remedy for
the evils Of which the South complains,
vet all believe that the remedy will be
found and applied. Some are so san
guine as to believe that the Radicals in
Congress will back down and modify their
requirements within the limits OF quali~
fed suffrage and others are confident
that even if Congress persists in its de-
mands, the Courts will knock the whole
thing into cooked hat"
A distinguished Republican, recently
in Charleston S. C., writes as follows:
The old rebels of the South seem
bent on new mischief. We may as we'll
understand first as last that they mean
either to kin or exterminate the colored
people, as soon as they have the oppor.
tunity Here at Charleston have heard
nOlntHI ~ the luDlC' III tliC CdlHS VI III tiiS
streets, but " Down with the uiggers, and
d-n the Radical Rump Congress" l
heard man say y sterday, at dinner, eve
are certain to have a Ievoiution-we can
not endure this Radical dom;noering
much longer; the negl oes must be crush
ed, if it costs every man his life +" And
this feeling is not confined to South Car.
olina, although it is more bitter here than
in North Carolina or Virginia.
A Georgia letter from an Intelligent
source says:
We shall have largo majority Of del
cgates in the State Convention, but our
graf fight will be on the ratification Of
the Constitution. If we had the State
Government in our favor we could sue
coed with ease.

Political RIaspllemy.

"At a meeting Of Democrats held at
Hillsboro, Ohio, Mr.. Vallandigham was
advertised to speak, but just before that
apostle commenced, the Chairman, Mr..
Jilson, announced that he had just re,
eeived letter, and he would like to read
it." Mr.. Vsllandigham said certainly,
and Mr.. Jilson read as follows:
'Is HELL, ROOM No. II, 450.-To the
Black Republicans of Ohio | am here suffer
ing torments for my crimes aud inspirations
while on earth. In these flames / am re
minded of my great wckedness, and send
these words to you that you may take warm
ing. George Washington passed by me on
the other side Of the great gulf, but only
looked at me with unutterabe scOrn. Take
warning by my fate.
lSigned) ABRAHAM LINCOLN"
The impious devil read this with Ii
chuckle, and Vallandighsm made it the
base of an appeal to his audience to avoid
hell by voting with the Democratic par
ty. The narration of this diabolical
piece of reasonable impudence called
forth a storm of Kisses from the audience,
and seemed to deepen the hatred which
all respectable people must entertain for
a party which can tolerate such beastly
profanity"
The above was handed to us by sub.
scriber, who was so much disgusted with
the article that he wondered we had not
copied it as a specimen of the wicked
ness Of traitors.
We observed the article some time ago,
but thought it unnecessary to multiply
examples of the wickedness of this par
~. When they would offer premiums
for his capture and assassination, adver,
tised in the public prints, the above is
not TO be wondered at.
That such men as Vallandigham and
his associates should receive communica>
tions from the home of traitors is not sur
prising. We have supposed all aloug,
while they were starving our soldiers,
poisoning our citizens, distributing cloth
ing infected with the yellow fever, &C..
that they we're in communication with
that internal region; and if they had
told us they had received commupica>
tion from Arnold, Burr, Atzeroth, Booth,
Wirz, or some of their friends, we would
have almost believed it, but that the pat.
riot and martyr that gave his life fer his
country should write to or hold any com
munication with his murderers, is too alb
surd And when those Rebel blasphe-
mers have finished their wicked course,
and the veil Of humanity is lifted and
they gaze upon the two roads leading to
Eternity, the most sorrowful moment of
their existence will be, that they will he
found unworthy to walk in the footsteps
Of the martyr President-the literator OF
a race-the statesman, who lived that we
might have government Of the peo>
pie, for the people, and by the people"
and who died "with charity toward all
and malice toward none," and who is
crowned by the affections of bereaved
nation, King Of men"
