SYMPATHY FROM GEORGIA.

ATLANTA, Jan. IA, 1875.
Governor Smiths annual Message was read in
beth Houses OF the Legislature to-day. 1t shows
that there Is balance In the treasury Of
,003 12S, and that the affairs OF the State are IN
prosperous condition. At the close OF the Mes
sage he deprecates federal Interference In the
affairs Of the Southern States, and shows its evil
effects. The message concludes as follows Dur
ing the last ten years the general government has
violated the liberty OF the clLizens, overturned
and created STATE governments at Will and COM
mtted other Migrant violations Of the cOnstltu-
ton. The GROWING act IN this course OF usurpa-
ton ana wrong Is The attempt to stae by the
OF the people OF Louisiana expressed
at the recent election. In popular governments
the untrammeled exercise OF the elective ran.
the form and essence OF public liberty. The re-
cent attempt TO pervert the popular Will In Louis-
ana may well excite the gravest apprehensi0ns
There would indeed be very little ground OF hope
perpetuity Of our free institutions II such
usurpaiiOn were met with public apathy. Happily,
however 1t has produced the contrary effect, and
patriotism finds announcement In the almost
universal sentiment OF condemnation this grave
wrong has evoked. The change in public sentiment
indicated by the recent elections, also leads to
look for an early reformation OF the policy and
Southern states. II the policy Of irritation should
be abandoned and the people he left to them
Selves the two races would soon establish social
and business relations with each other, as their
own peace happiness and true interests require
In other words our people only ask that they be
secured In the great right OF local selgovernme0t
as It once existed in all OF the States OF the Union
but which is now enjoyed alone by the people OF
the Northern States. Ii the government Will but
give US home rule revenue tariff. an honest and
economical administration and sound circulating
return or peace and prosperity to all parts OF the
country ana among all classes of citizens.

II. Gordon VINO was announced as one oil
those to ADDRESS the meeting. informs me
The Presidents Message, he says, allays any ap-
prehension IN the minds OF men OF all parties
caused by the recent military interference In
Louisiana. II the meeting IN Faneuil Hall Is for

Louisiana he says he has

the meeting was entirely unauthorized. and
he Is Tree to say that he snail take
no part Whatever In It's proceedings. Hon. j..
Whey Edmonds, whose name also appears among
the sympatnizers in the movement, says that 1t
was used without his knowledge or authority, and
he declares emphaticay tnat he shall take no

speakers more moderate than has been
anticipated, as will also be the resolutions
Besides Mr.. Gray and John Quincy Adams the only
probable speakers Will be George D. Shattuck,
Mason and Leverett Saltonstal. IL IS not certain,
however, that all OF these will appear.
COMMENTS OF THE PRESS ON THE MESSAGE.
The Advertiser says:-"The Message has added
little or nothing 10 our knowledge, and 1t has
not justified what has been done. SO far as 1t Is
an apology 1t comes rather late. SO far as 1t sus-
tains the recent acts at New Orleans we think 1t is
weak"
the Journal considers the Message in a favor
able light and commends Its candor and evident
sincerity OF purpose.
The Post considers IT, without exception, the
weakest and yet the most alarming docume nj
ever issued from the Executive ONCE. Although
doubtless, modified by the exigencieS OF a threat

weak and evasive disclaimers OF personal respon

the scope OF military power, give 1t place by

Attorney General Is seen throughout.

BOSTON, Jan. IA, 1875.
The indications tonight are that the Louisiana
Indignation meeting called at Faneun Hall to-.
morrow will be rather a tame affair." The Message
OF President Grant seems to nave acted as oil
upon the troubled waters to q considerable ex-
tent and although the proposed meeting VIII DO
held 1t will undoubtedly lack considerable OF
the enthusiasm and Indignation which was
threatened two or three days ago. In con-
versaton with some OF the speakers who
have been announced I find them as calm and
serene as summer morning. Hon. William
Cray, who will preside on the occasion Of the
meeting, had prepared q speech, but the Presi-
dents Message caused him to destroy II, and he u
