n,r,v in the State of Georgia. TWO weeks
~, Mfr. GREElKY's prospects in that State
seemed TO be dull indeed. We could learn
that MIR. STEPHENS was bitterly opposed 10
him and see for ourselves that the papers
were slow to take ground in his favor o"'
we could not hear from the people Wv,
the city OF Augusta has spoken TOT mus a"N

c., wa take il to be settled that georgia
u;, no represented in Baltimore by men VINO
will oppose new nomination. We nave
read the report Of the proceedings OF t"e
hte meeting at Augusta. Judge LINTON
STEPHENS. the brother of A. II. STEPHENS,
made the first speech. He brought OUT all
the stock arguments against GREELEY. IL
was the first speech that had been maze III
Augusta either for or against GREELEY; b't
il fell slill-born. The popular heart was no'
reached by it. General WRIGHT spoke next
Az soon rs he said he preferred GREELEf 10
GK.sr. ne touched the public feeling and
called forth a round OF applause and wiietl
Hon. III. W. billiard made his speech, ana
came out boldly and plainly for GREELEY, his
remarks were received with uproarious ap'
plause. The GREELEY fever is so strong that IL
breaks out in this way. Even in the receh'
GRANT meeting in New York city the men
ton of the name of GREELEY brought down
the house.
We can see nothing anywhere to dis
courage the friends of good government. II
we are told that 4 few Democratic papers
and politicians here and there are going over
TO GRANT i'm case GREELEY be endorsed al
Baltimore, we say, SO much the better. ha1
we Of the South need is such redistribution
OF the voters of the country as that those OF
them with whom we act cannot be howlcd
down at the North az "rebel sympathizers."
We receive all the blows aimed at the backs
of such men. Negro suffrage was put upon
,ls by Democratic yotcs-that is, in conse-
quence of the want of judgment Of the DEMO
cratic members Of Congress. We must get
rid of the present Administration. Let Il
Democrat be nominated for President, and
GREELEY withdrawn, and strlightway we
shall hear the crack Of the whip. The war
will be fought over again. The poor negro
will once more he called upon to testify 10
kuklux horrors, and thus aid in the election
of GRANT. The country will be pronounced
TO be in danger. The /" life of the nation y
will once more be declared to be in peril.
The result will be that we shall be doomed
to suffer for four years longer the oppre&-
sions Of Radical rule.
Are we foolish enough TO bring ourselves
into such strait? If we are not, who is:
Will the northern Democrats sacrifice our
dearest interests to humor the whims Of
their leaders. We do not believe they will
but if they are so unteeling, they are un-
worthy of our association. Whence. then,
will come the opposition which is to over
whelm GREELEY in Baltimore! We cannot
imagine The World is against him; but
New York has sent siXty-eight GREELEY dele
gates to Baltimore. The Patriot is against
him; but Washington sends no delegates.
The Baltimore Gazette is against him; but
the Sun is for him. and we have not seen it
denied that the people of Maryland are for
him. In Virginia and the South, his influ-
ence will override all opposition. In Cali
fornia, both Democrats and Republicans
seem to be going for him. We think we are
not over-sanguine when we predict that If he
does not previously make some speech which
shall damage him, GREELEY will receive the
votes of perhaps thirty States at Baltimore.
