Elections upon the results of this first cleo

Early in the canvass we appealed to the
white people of Middle and Upper Georgia
to save Southern and Southwestern Georgia
from the horrible fate that threatened
Heavy majorities for radicalism were natural

for the same reasons that induced this con-
viction, the white settlements were expected
to go democratic We are astonished at
the reversal OF this natural order of things,
and feel SO keenly the deep disgrace and
singing humiliation, that we dare not in

AT one time we entertained purpose to
change our base, in q the event of radical
success, and seek repose among the white
people ina different portion of the State;
but the Developments Of the election have
fastened upon our mind the conviction that
the negro is better man than the white
scalawag, and that we should suffer by the
change. There seems to be as much political
virtue and integrity among the colored peo-
pie of Southwestern Georgia, and we proud
ly assert that they are safer icustodians of
the franchise We see no reason longer to
oppose negro suffrage We are disposed to
make him voter in order to rescue the
State from carget-baggers and scalawags."
