When the Southern States shall have assumed their position in the Union, they are constitutionally guaranteed the right of controlling their own local affairs. The freedmen aro citizens of those States, and ought to be held amenable to their re spective States for their conduct as free ,a - blacks were prior to the war. The Gener al Government can only claim the right, iu our opinion, to see that they are pro tected in their rights of person and prop- erty, and can confer upon them no politi cal right*. This being true, it appears to us that tho existence of the Freedmcn’s Bureau, after the time referred to, would bo wrong aud unjust to the States. The Southern States have adopted, or will adopt, Constitutions and Law* protecting tho rights of the freedmen ; and, in the reception of those State Constitutions by tho General Government, it thereby re linquishes, in our judgment, all further control over the negro than is exercised over other citizens of the United States, and no more. If this position be correct! then it follows that the Freedmcn’s Bu reau must be abolished and the freedmen left to tho sole protection of the laws of the States in which they reside. Wc must confess we are anxious to see the military removed from our midst. They are now doing no good, but many of the soldiers, we fear, are doing mischief both to the white man and the negro, by creating ill-will upon the part of the latter towards the former—inducing them to be lieve that they ought to be, aud will be, a lowed to share the property of their for mer masters, and that justice will not be done them unless they do.

I for one, cannot support any man iu times like these, when clonds of adversity are hanging arouud the old ship of State, threatening to engnlph her in a whirlpool of difficulties, from which time, talent and integrity alone can extricate her, until his plan by which he hopes to stay the threat ened danger is defined. It is useless for me to mention what the questions are which I consider of so much moment. The intelligent people know them full well. It is useless to refer to the un happy past, we have all travailed through ' that mighty struggle and have been swamped together. I care not for past political sentiments, whether this, that, or the other candidate was a whig, know- nothing, or democrat—whether a recon- structionist, unionist, or secessionist—or whether he supported Douglas, Breekcn- ridge, or Bell. These differences should be buried with the past and no scrambling office seeker should ever be allowed to ex hume them from their graves. We have had enough of party strife, and God grant I that its revival may be strangled in its infancy and never more be allowed to blow its foul breath upon onr already ruined and desolated land again. The future, the mighty and hidden future, should now en gage the attention of every honest and candid voter. It is very desirable then that we should know the future policy of him who seeks the guardianship of our interest and hap piness. We are personally acquainted with every candidate in the field, and be lieve them all to be honest, high-minded gentlemen, with whom we might with safety entrust our interests, however vi tal they may be. Yet, we know not their views upon the question* that are now agitating onr country, and we think it is tine every voter that they should define I their opinions on *•»«•“ Wsst t'oixr. »vrsr'Fofnt, Ga., Nov. 6, 1865. a Club of three persons it will be. sent for r '}?bt without which no otlu-r right can Ten Dollars, and to a Club of five persons it will be sent for Fifteen Dollars.
