now dead and gone. New England, in her
stupidity, dissolved the chains which bound

South and the West are linked together In
indissoluble bonds. New England is here

Whenever he runs out OF something TO talk
about be tackles Ben. Hill. He is terribly
alarmed because Georgia is likely to strike
out OF her Constitution foolish declara-
ton put into it by set Of ignorant negroes
and unprincipled carpet-baggers. That
declaration is that Georgia shall forever re-
main part OF the present Union, and that
her citizens owe paramount allegiance to the
United States. 1t would be as sensible for
an individual man to declare that he intends
to live forever as for body polite to de-
clare that it will remain forever in its pres
ent condition. 1t is presumptous declara-
ton in either case No one can tell what
day may bring FORTH" New England
may be turned out of the Union within ten
years for aught that anybody knows to the
contrary. Georgia may remainin the Union
a hundred years, or she may not remain in
it twenty. No one can forecast her future.
But that she is" forever" to remain a part
OF the American Union Is an assumption that
none but fool would make, Z. The thing
