They are over-anxious to break up or dis integrate ■ the democratic organiza tion of our State. In this, they will fail most signally, let the action .of the people be what it may* The question of rejection or ratification of the oonstitutiun submitted .by4be convention, will not involve one sin-’ gle issue dividiug the two political parties. Nor will it furnish the slight est ground work for opposition to the democracy by those who favor the independent movement. It canuot possibly he made a party question, for it will simply be a question as to the States’ best interest in the accept ance of an organic law upon which every cilizi-n of the commonwealth will make up his judgment irrespec tive of party or party alliances.

Every honest and intelli gent uiliz-.li of Georgia, irrespective of party or political preferences, will of course, in tli - in -tter of our organic law, view the question from an impartial and patriotic stand point, reserving his judgment until he is called upon to decide which is the better, the old or tho new constitu tion.
