In Florida the campaign promise? to be unusually vigorous, and there is a probability that for the first time since tho war the people of that Radical-ridden State Will elect a Democratic State government. In those campaigns the people of the South are deeply interested; and every intelligent citizen, who has the welfare of his country and hi? section at heart, should acquaint himself with every detail of the great work of redemption and reform tha' is now going on. To this end he should subscribe to and assist in circulating the Savannah Morning News, an independent Democratic newspaper,of pronounc ed opinions and fearless in their expression; a paper that is recognized everywhere as the best daily in tho South. Its editorial department is vigorous, thoughtful, and consistent, while its news and local departments are marvels of in dustry and completeness.
