The Primary Meetings.
The Cartersville Express says: The pri
mary meetings held so far have exhibited
but little interest comparatively s’v aklng,
upon the part of the people. So far as we
have observed, we have not noticed a single
meeting voting as high as five hundred.
Thy trnth is the people do not take the in
terest they should in politics, which they
leave to a few to manipulate as they please.
These, of course, are generally those living
in the tow ns or in convenient distance ot
them, and their friends.
A large majority ot these meetings have
hem managed to the interest of Gen. Col
quitt, w hose forces over the State have been
in process of organization for four years.
With four years of labor, and as a represen
tative granger, a temo<*rance man and a
promineni mem.icr of a strong church, Gen.
Colquitt would have been indeed a weak
man had he not been able to have organized
his forces for effective work in the end.
In the case of Mr. Johnson he makes a
fur better showing according to time. In
four weeks he levs secund quite a good
show of delegates and greatly alarmed the
frieuds of Colquitt. Indeed it may be said
that no set of men were ever more alarmed
than they have been.
We h< re, and now, file cur protest to the
above aigument. So 1: ras relates to our
county, not one word is correct. There
lias been no wire-w orking here; no combi
utiliou in town tor Colquitt. The people of
our county, in a mass, are lor him. They
w< re, and are lor him of choice. Gen. Col
quitt lias not been here, and no one has
Iren sent to represent him here; he has
had no agent here. The argument. that
Gen. Colqi i t his organized the {.rang, i ,
the tcmpein.ce nu u, and the membership
of n strong church in his interest, to make
him Governor, is Contemptible. Wc are
sbjry that so able an editor as Bro. Willing
ham, should borrow, and spread broad-cast
Ihe argument ot the demagogue. Are
grangers, temperance men, and the mem
bership of a strong church dishonorable?
Have these entered into an alliance with
Gen. Colquitt tn defeat the will of the peo
ple? Have they aligned themselves in hos
tility to the interests ol Georgia ? The fact
i., the granger, the anti-g:anger, the temper
ance man, Hie anti-tempi rnr.ee man, the
membership of the strong church, and that
ot the weak one, and the anti-church man,
town and county, are all for Gen. Colquitt.
We presume the pe< pie in other counties
arc as tree, and have acted as freely as we
have, and therefore this outburst which is so
terrible to the Expie s, is the untrammelled
voice of the people.

rpHE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN of 1876
1 which includes National, State, and
county elections’ and which will undoubt
edly be the most active and hotly contest
ed of any since the memorable campaign
of 1860,is now fairly opened. The Nation
al Democratic party, will this year make a
bold, vigorous and doublets successful strug
gle for the maintenance and supremacy of
those principles which are vital to thepros
pcrity of the Republic and essential to the
well-being of the people.
In addition to the Presidential election,
the people of Georgia and Florida will
elect new State governments. In Florida
the campaign promises to be unusually vig
orous, and there is a probability that tbi
the first t : me sine the war the people ot
that Radical-ridden State will elect a Dem
ocratic State government. In these cam
paign the people of the Sou h are deeply
interested; and every intelligent citizen,
who has the welfare of his country and his
section at heart, should acquaint himself
with every detail of the great work of re
demption and reform that is now going on.
To this end he should subscribe to and
assist in circulating the SAVANNAH
MORNING NEWS, an independent Dem
oci atic newspaper, of pronounced opinions
and fearless in their expressions; a paper
that is recognized everywhere as the best
daily in the South. Its editorial depart
ment is vigorous, thoughtful, and consis
tent, while its news and local departments
are marvels of industry and completeness.
Its department of Georgia and Florida af
fairs is not confined to a mere barren sum
mary of events transpiring in those States,
but is enlivened by comment at once apt,
timely, and racy.
The ample resources of the establishment
will be devoted to furnishing the readers of
'.he
MORNING NEWS
with the latest intelligence from all parts of
the world, through the press dispatches,
special telegrams, and by means of special
correspondence; and through these agen
cies the paper will be the earliest chronicler
of noteworthy incidents of the political
campaign of 1.876.
