BRUNSWICK, Sept. g, 1865 r.
After tour extending over every part Of the State
and travelling two thousand miles by rail, and a lit
tie less than three hundred and fifty by stage and
water, your correspondent brings his political
of Georgia to close for the present In review
ing the prospects OF political parties in this State
the opinion expressed some weeks ago that the
democracy will be the vctors must be here repeated.
The more have travelled in the interior the more
certain has this appeared, until now ! should
not be al all astonished the radicals are
beaten by nifty thousand majority. Al the
same time it is not TO be denied that
circumstances may occur which would affect this
result and probably change it, Should the demo
Gratis make any gains in Maine on Monday next
Georgia will go Overwhelmingly for seymour and
Blair should the radicals increase their majority OF
last year and the October elections indicate the
cess OF General Grant the whites Will probably
abandon the contest in despair, or at best make no
greater effort than sufficient TO poll majority OF
the votes cast. 10 Will thus be perceived that the
result 10 Georgia depends to a considerable extent
npOn the state OF public sentiment at the North III
ANY hope of Seymours election Is held out there the
fight here VIII be pretty much one-sided. This is not
the opinion OF your correspondent alone. Mr.. Ed
wards, member of Congress from the Third district
Of this State, who declines denomination admitted
70 me that the radicals cannot carry his district
again. 1t is true he expresses much confidence in
his being able to poll a majority OF the
voies but that, he admits, arises from
his personal popularity with the whites and
rom his publicly denying that ne Is a radical. Mr..
Cove, the gentleman from Georgia who is clamoring
for september session Of Congress- has also de-
elined denomination. In addition numerous prom
Ment radical Office holders openly declare that Sey-
mour and Blair viii obtain the electoral votes OF this
State. The names OF some of the most prominent
radical leaders here might be mentioned in this con-
necton-nen who hold this opinion and expressed
IA me in conversation-was 1t not violation OF
confidence. But besides this testimony the thorough
canvass have made during the past month shows
quite plainly III what direction the current OF public
sentiment runs Predictions regarding what the
vote Of State will be generally safe to be
relied upon. but will venture to predict it in this in
stance. To commence with, there Is the white ele-
ment, at least eight-tenths OF which will vote the
oeinocratc ticker. This will number not less
tAhn ninety thousand votes, and may reach high
% one hundred thousand. No threats. arguments
or brides can change the intention OF this body.
