T$E VOICE OFIHE PEOPLE.
Hurrah for Jackson , Hull, Forsyth and Gwin
nett- Four Strong Counties—Three
.of Them for Syecr, with Strong
'** * Prottwility of the Other.
Mu. Editor: —Business called me, and it
has been my pleasure, to traverse the greater
portiorfTof the ;vbovc named four counties.
They are all. ns j'Oudrnow, large counties—
Forsyth being the smallest—polling, I be
lieve, about twelve or fourteen hundred votes.
I propose to take up four counties, and
from having been from one corner to the
other and from one side to the other of thoso
ments large ofthe-people. We
will first take Jackson and Hail, and any fair
minded roan is compelled to acknowledge
that Mr. Speer will carry these two counties.
As an evidence of this fact, some among the
host men of these two counties arc disposed
to lie candid and admit this, although opposed
to Mr. Speer. The fact can’t be questioned
that he has gained largely in these two coun
ties since the last election, and lias lost none.
Forsyth count)', the home of Mr. Bell, will
give him but a small majority. In fact, it is
claimed by some of the best men of the coun
ty |s doubtful whether Mr. Bell will carry
Ills county or not. I know this to be true,
that I found sections in Forsyth where you
could,not fjnd a Bell man.
C * now come to Gwinnett. Wo have heard
much of this county in the last few years.
t "lils this cfcunty that was to give a majority
of 1,000 against Mr. Speer two years ago, and
which only gave lfB against him, was it not ?
’lf, therefore, the opposition to Mr. Speer
/ lacked 842 votes of carrying Gwinnett by the
majority they expected two years ago, how
can they hope to carry it this time when they
orfly claim about 200 P and you see they miss-
ed their mark 842 votes before. I have been
over the greater portion of G winnett; have
hoard the. people express themselves, and
particularly the old and middle-aged tnen,
and can say boldly, without fear of contra
diction, that at the polls in that county on
the day of election Mr. Speer will carry
Gwinnett county. After the joint discussion
in LawrenceviUe between Messrs. Speer and
Bell, I witnessed scores of the best men in
every portion of the county, come to Mr.
Speer and tell him they did all they could
against him before, but would do all in their
power for him this time.
I quote the language of one who signs him
self “Democrat,” in your issue of the 24th
ult., who says : “ Two of the most prominent
: .- Speer men we saw were Jesse J. Cook and
“ Devil” Bill Robinson. They would make
occasional visits: to an adjacent bar-room and
tr ...return with ‘V ah for -Speer!’” I--would
4 gently say that.the most, prominent Bellman
>1 saw was an old Cow-Bell behind the counter
i in the said-adjacent bar-room mentioned by
“ Democrat,” and when ita doleful sounds
were heard it had a happier effect on the Bell
men than the eloquence- of their chieftain,
wiip had deposited the “stuff” -that caused it
to ring. It brought vividly to the minds of
the few Bell ,meu that their chieftain had
something deposited there that would cheer
ltiieir drooping and hopeless spirits, and make
them, in their revelfogs, imagine for ‘awhile
that^Gwignet^would give him 1,000 majority.
I would, in conclusion, beg all those who
•v *T °
love justice and right— who hold liberty dear
—who had rather be freemen than slaves —to
work for the principles you advocate, and our
■jC-haiupiou, Mr. Speer, will bo elected by an
overwhelming majority. Our motto should
be—
Lot him now work who never worked before,
lie- who always worked now work the more.

The First Baby.
BY HATTIE HATEFUL.
Did you ever think anything about Eve
and her first baby? I have, and often won
dered how she and Adam received the little
C'uin. Did Eve mistrust that Cain was com
itig to visit her? and did she sew little, tender
fig-leaves into tiny apron, and put them away
in some hollow tree? (Of course they had
• ,h*>daw trees !)
I wonder if Adam ever dreamed of the lit
. tie red-faced, pug-nosed, sleepy -eyed squal
ler, before the baby voice aroused him from
his hitherto unbroken slumbers? Did he
gaze into the little face, and touch the little
clenched hands with feelings of awe and amaze
ment ? Did he pass his own toil-stained fin
gers over the delicate baby flesh, and marvel
how it could be so soft and velvety? Did
ire hold his breath when Cain treated his pa
rents to his first oonccr? Or did the dis
tracted parent take the little rascal and walk
the garden with him?
I wonder if Adam ever was obliged to get
up from his warm nest and pace the floor of
the garden corner, called home, with the first
baby drooping over his left shoulder, squall
ing with all his might? Did little Cain ever
and sert-am, and stiffen his cunning little
' nek-bone in his wrath, until even Adam
Vi not bend him?
vVas it cold enough there to freeze Adam’s
-ight fig-lenf. and did he walk his garden
lomo with the fig-leaf, frozen stiff behind
, him? Did he ever get mad and swear? Did
c4p baby scratch and bite, pull hair and daub
nflblasses over the clean fig-leaves upon the
company, as he grew older? Did he get his
teeth without Mrs. Winslow’s aid? Was he
called the most beautiful baby in all the
world? Poor little Cain I lie had no aunts to
pet him; no uncles to wish him to Jericho;
and Worse than - ail that, he had no fond
grandpa-, nor grandma to spoil him.
Did you ever think how utterly miserable
Mrs. Eve rnifst have been when there was no
dobtor to call in, to shake his head over the
child’s measles or mumps ! Did they have
the measles then? Dear me ! I might keep
> °n asking forever, and only echo would an
swer. If'you ever see anybody that lias been
there, do ask them to answer me.
