DIR. FFLroN's LETTER

Dr.. FELTON, haI written a long
letter to some person in Washington,
which was published iu the New
York Time, (Republicau) He is in
favor of David Davis as a candidate
for the Independents. As to Bayard,
be says that he bases his aspirations
principally upon his financial record,
but that all prestige in that direction
belongs to John Sherman He as
serts that the Democratic party re-
ceived its death blow on the fourth
day of November that the verdict
of the North and West againstit was
too decisive and emphatic to be mis-,
understood, and that the sensible
men of Georgia, at least, have
now made up their minds TO sever
themselves from it. He says that
the Northern elections is the old
story repeated, viz: That Northern
Democrats would sustain the South
in any mad career they might EN-,
bark in that they told them this
before the war, and led them to be-
ieve that all was necessary was for
the South to strike a blow and the
Northern Democracy would respond
with armed assistance; that these
promises we're never fulfilled, and
the South to day is suffering from
the consequences; that the same
promises were avishly made By lead
ers from The North and the Vest in
the extra session. leading the South
sgair TO believe that they would be
sustained in the North 10 any revo
Iutionary movement which they
might inauguarate against the Rad
ical party. He says that the lnde'
pendent movements are going on all
over Georgia, and that the issue now
before the people of Georgia ia how
to rid themselves Of Bourboism, and
that he would not be astonished if
the next Compression al delegation
and Governor was controlled by the
Independent element. He says,
further, that there is not q man, 10
his kuowledge, in the State of Geor
gia, who has watched the course of po'
liticai events since the elections. who
does not ridioule ;he idea Of the dem

organized democratic party and re-
nounces allegiance to il. Dr. FELTON,
recites many evils in the Democratic
leaders. tut wants there bad men 20
join the Independent party, then they
will become as white rs snow, After
reading the letter he Chicago

paper in all the North vest says -
