The Georgia Imbroglio,

=
The action of the House of Representatives ne fl,
the carpet bag government Of Georgia; in eypplnr
on the ground of ineligibilitr, twenty-five nepnq
who have sat and acted as members of the BODY IL
months, is event Of great significance 10 l6rff,
loud howl will be made about it by the J2cobirs Of
North, but they can derive political capitafrogt
| anywhere but in such benighted regions as Vefn6a
| and they are welcome to all they can make
But what is the significance OF, this eremg 1t
be borne in mind that the BODY from which tEesn,
groes were, expelled, is part of the bogus gDren
ment furnished the people of Georgia by tie Felsi
| military power, which has been supreme over tsa
since their own chosen, legitimate State Goveune3
was superseded by Jacobin decree. This blgas ga.
eminent established by pretended vote OF de
people, first bv the election of delegates to p,g
tonal Conventions and afterwards by the submssaaa
the constitution which it framed, to be passed Gpaas
an election ordered for that purpose 1t which >fr
officers and members Of the Legislature were also @
for. In these several elections uniyelsai negro 81;
frage was allowed, while many of the whige citfgs
were DISTINGUISHED. Of course tie npps,ez and IA.

Just such constitution as suited them, and pptg
State officers and majority OF tic Legislature o. t
