The Platform of the Georgia Straight Outs"
Atlanta, August 81 - The platform
adopted yesterday by the convention of
the "straight-outs " declares the govern
ment Of the United States to have lin
tied powers, delegated by the states for spe-
cific purposes, having no original inner
emit power whatever that the Union is
federal in character, incapable of existence
without the States, and the perpetuation of
the Union depends upon Representation of
the integrity Of the States; that the right of
local government, the subsection ofmilitary
to civil authority and habeas corpus in, time
Of peace, are not subject to any solemn
constitutional obligation on the part of the
Federal government, Of any kind what
ever, but the government is under solemn
constitutional obligations not to interfere in
these matters.
1t is understood that Alexander III.
Stephens is the author of the platform.

get even approximately at the total amount

"The Third NATIONAL" we are glad to

their business has in no wise suffered
| Public confidence in the stability of the
Bank has not been even disturbed
on the contrary there have been JUS
as many new accounts opened at the Bank
since the raid of the robbers as there proba-

occurred, and there has been no disposition
shown to withdraw deposits. -Baltinor
