What Others Think and Say.

VIM. II. FELTON, will run as an
independent. He is certain to be
beaten, as is every man who deserts
his party and courts the Republi-
cans to secure their votes. Col,tm

When Democrats strive against
each other Radicals laugh at their
folly and are only too glad when OPP
portunity offers to hoist their cans
didates into office through breach
in the Democracy. The Democra>
cy is not after bastards but wants
men true to the principles of the
Calhoun Times.
The Republicans, in the minority,
very shrewdly ally themselves with
any faction, for the purpose of de-
featiug the organized Democracy.

He is prodigal in his promises to
serve the people, but be wants Of

pride and glory of malcontents.-
Sunday Herald.
We have no sympathy with such
democracy as that protested by Mr..
HilIiard and DR.. FELTON,. 1t is dem,
ocracy in name, and not in action.
They profess the faith, but disregard
the practice. -NeWnan Herald.
DR.. FELTON, is dangerously ambi-

threatens danger to the cause

The question then is, not whether
DR.. FELTON, is a democrat, or good

He is wrong in his position, and it
amounts to vanity objectionable. :

be Radical. Maj. Hsrgrove controls
about $50 Democrats, these he will
vote with his negroes, and the united
vote will be Felton's strength 10 this
county.-Rome Courier.
