buried, and let the aninosities and hatreds which
they engendered sleep IN the grave with them 1t is
no patry question of politics that engages our atten.
ton now, but rather whether the white people OF
Georgia shall remain free OF become practically
slaves. In Euch contest there should be differ
cnces among white men, nor indeed among intelli
gent and well Ecaning colored men; for whatever
wrongs may be inncted upon the former will be
TO fail upon the latter also. y proper effort
tie rreedmen mag D. brought TO understand ana
appreciate THIS truth. IL would seem, then. the
part OF wisdom TO make this effort"

heard of single supporter of Irwin who has de-
clared for Bullock since Irwin declined. General

the constitution, General Gordon himself opposes its
adoption.
