PATRIOTIC COuNsELS.

We find IN the Bristol NelCs the fol-
lowing extract from a sensible and tenn
perate letter addressed to its editor by
Hon. VIM. Mcfarland, Congressman
elect from the First district:
The canvass was a great success.
The result is not, IF course, to be at
tributed to any popularity or merit on
my part, but mas Its origin in the great
revolution of public sentiment through
out the country, and which hope ar
CUES well for the country. 1t means, l
trust, the permanent triumph of the
spirit of Cancellation, forbearance, of
kindly feeling and justice over the
spirit of hate, ill-will, bitterness and
strife that has divided us in the past.
Of course great responsibility now de-
wolves upon the Democratic party. We
cannot afford to make any mistakes,
such as have been made in the past. If
we do We shall lose all we have gained.
a spirit of moderation must prevail.
The hope of Radicalism now is that
rash and unwise acts may characterize
the policy of the Democratic party, and
1t should be our policy to disappOint
this hope
These temperate and wise views seem
TO characterize most of our leaders,
and we trust that all may feel their
force and correctness.

THE EMIGRATION FEVER AMONG
THE GEORGIA DARKIES.

Monday last the State House at At
lanta. Ga, was enlivened by conven-
ton of negroes, representing various
counties of the State, the ostensible OBJ
ject of which was to discuss the ad-
vantages and feasibility of emigrating.
Many curious speeches were made on
both sides of the question about going
West" but the demand for Civil
Rights loomed prominent throughout
the proceedings, while a Committee on
Ouhages was appointed, and among
the closing resolutions after a two
days session, was one to the effect that
the Republican party be reorganized.
Taken altogether, the cause of emigra-
ton was not advanced one iota by the
proceedings. First among the speakers
was R. II. Carter, described as young
and very intelligent mulatto, who paid
his respects to a certain class of poll
ticians in this wise:
He said that the carpet. baggers
would follow them wherever they went.
They had caused the two races to dis
trust each other, and had bred feel
ing of discomfort. They had rode into
Office on the backs of the colored peo-
pie; they had made promises and failed
to comp ly with them. He did not care
now who ruled; the question with him
was how a man ruled; be wanted the
rulers to work for all alike without dis
