GOV. ]. M. SMITH.

GOVERNOR SMITH, in a publish
ed letter, positively declines to be a
candidate for reelection, and at the
expiration of his term will retire to
the shades of his profession, where
he will cogitate over what "might
have been" lie wrestled with the
pregnant idea of withdrawing" for
twenty-five days after his Jealous
friends importuned him for an ans
wer, but, alas there was no politi-
cal Pocahontas to save him and he
yielded up the ghost of his original
intention to be a "vindicated" can
didate. Smith has made a Cover
nor in many instances creditabIe,
and in others he fell short of the
"meed of praise" But, however, we
should take the "will for the deed, !"
for he no doubt tried to do his duty,
as far as his ability and personal
friends would let him. Evidently
a self-made man, he has not neglect
ed the maker. But, nevertheless,
we believe he has been the subject
of much unjust calumny, instigated
by ignored politicians, whom be Of
fcially tread upon, who in return, like
irritated serpents, sought to fasten
their venomous fangs into his official
aud private character. Smith is a
man though whose ever impulse
throbs with vital love for his State,
the South and her principles. -
While he was not our choice for
Governor, owing to an aversion to
too long lease of power, yet we be
lieve he had strong following in
Georgia. His decleusion will EN-
bolden other aspirants to renewed
diligence, each laying the hattering
JUNCTION to his soul, that he is the
"man of Destiny" called of his coun>
try.

AN AGITATOR.

WENDELL PHILLIPS has written a
letter to Mr.. Morton, thanking him
for an outrageous speech in the Sen
ate. The Massachusetts agi;ator
talks about an uprising the same
as in 1861, and "bugies" and all that
sort of thing.-Sarannah Ne'cs.
This old arrant htrmbug and po-
liticaI fanatic, can very well call for
an uprising" when he can get i'm
ported Europeans as substitutes. -
Wendell should remember the fate
of his insurrectionary friend, John
Brown!

more fully than has Mr. FELTON,. Nor

the pi,A,o VI many of the mail route

made an annual profit of Sl20, 1000,
willie a certain firm divided 100000

PROSTITUTION OF THE BALLOT

PROSTITUTION OF ThE bAbLCT.
The following item speaks for
itself, but to the shame of Radical
voters
How ELECTIONS ARE CARRIED IN
New HAMPsHIRE. The New York
WORTH says: at is a lamentable fact
that in the rural regions, where ga
dollar looks as big as a cart wheel,
there are men who regularly reckon
with the years returns for rye and
potatoes, from five to twenty-five
dollars for their vote, as a legitimate
and always sure part of their small
annual income. In no year has this
fact been made SO conspicuously
prominent as this spring"
Yet, with all this trading Of votes,
bribery and we'll known politi
cal debauchery, it is no wonder that
high officials think they are privi>
legged to barter their honor, when
the voters who elected them do the
same. Where is Morton that he
does not have a committee appointed
to investigate this shameless prOsti
tution of the franchise 7 But, then
you know New Hampshire is a
State and went Radical.
Poor unfortunate Mississippi hap
pened to be a Southern Stats and
went overwhelmingly Democratic.
All there's the rub! That is Mis-
sissippi's great political sin.

ATLANTA RADICALS.

The Radicals tried to hold big
meeting in Atlanta last Friday night
but the most disgrsceful disorder
prevailed. Jesse Jackson heads one
of the divided party, and Markham,
ex-Gov. Conley, and Norcross the
other, They hate one another as
badly as they do democrats, and con-
sequently their meetings are confus-
ion and wrangling. Upon this &C.
casion Ex-Gov, Conley assaulted
Jesse Jackson with his fist, in re,
sentng an insulting remark. The
police were called and the two radical
fghtists were ordered to appear be-
fore the police court. Grants fol,
lowing in Georgia are terribly de-
moraized.
