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. Editorial Notes. ’Rak 'or W hviz.e and Haler! I f is said that Grant is suff ring from the Cff< ct of tobacco, whiskey and imperinus- A bad complication ot maladies. Ex-Gov. Sam Bard says: “Honest re publicans are disgusted.” We were not aware that any of that party were of that way of thinking and acting.

THE MORNINGJ NEWS, SAVANNAH, GA. - J- Ji ft; - w® 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.
