Hurrah for Jackson, Hall, 'Forsyth and Givin nett■—Four Strong Counties—Three of Them J'o/ Syeer, ipith Strong Fv 1 "" i ojf the O','/.’,. Mu. Editor :—Business called me, and it has been my pleasure, to traverse the greater portionTof the above named four counties. They arc all, as you'lcnow, large counties— Forsyth being the smallest—polling, I be lieve, about twelve or fourteen hundred votes, f propose to take up four counties, and from having been from one corner to the other and from one side to the other of these respective poupjLics, ments <f f a will first take Jackson and Hall, and any fair minded man is compelled to acknowledge that Air. Speer will carry these two counties. As an evidence of this fact, some among the best men of these two counties aro disposed to be 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 has lost none. Forsyth county, 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 ins county or.not. I know this to be true, that I found sections in Forsyth where you couhhnot find a Bell man. j now come to Gwinnett. Wo have heard much of this county in the last few years. Ills this-county-that’was to give a majority of 1,000 against Mr. Speer two years ago, and which ouly gave 158 against him, was it not ? If, therefore, the opposition to Mr. Speer t. 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 otlly claim about 200 ? and you see they miss ed their mark 842 votes before. I have been over the greater portion of Gwinnett; have hoard the. people express themselves, and particularly the old and middle-aged men, and can say boldly, without fear of contra diction, that at the polis in that count}’ on the day of election Mr. Speer will carry Gwinnett county. After the joint discussion in Lawrenceville 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 qgainst 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 lilt., who says : “ Two of the most prominent .-jSlpeer men we saw were Jesse J. Cook and “ Devil” Bill Robinson. They would make occasional visits-to an adjacent bar-room and ..oreturn with ‘’jrab fpr Speer!’” I-‘would gently say that the nkonU prominent Bell man J Baw was an old Cow-Bell behind tha counter ia tlio said adjacent bar-room mentioned by “ Democrat,” aiul when Ha doleful sounds were heard it had a happier eifoctou the Bel! men than the eloquence- of their chieftain, deposited the “stuff” that caused it to ring. It brought vividly to the minds of the few Bell .ineu that their chieftain had something deposited there that would cheer pthoi]: drooping aud hopeless spirits, and make them, in their revetfngs, imagine for 'awhile timt^GwiqnQt, would give him 1,000 majority. * I would, In conclusion, beg all those who love justice aud right — who hold liberty dear —who had rather be freemen than slaves —to work for the principles you advocate, and onr champion, Air. Speer, will bo elected by an overwhelming majority. Our niotto should he— Let him now work who never worked before, And ho who always worked now work the more. A. G. L. The First Baby. BY IIATTIE HATEFUL. I)iil you ever think anything about Eve ■and her first baby? I have, and often won dered how she and Adam received the little Gain. Did Eve mistrust that Cain was com ,;mg to visit licr? and did she sew,little, tender fig-leaves into tin}’ apron, and put them away iik some hollow tree? (Of course they had ■ -hoiluw trees f) I wonder if Adam ever dreamed of the lit tie red-laced, pug-nosed, sleepy-eyed squal lor, 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 velvetv? Did he hold his breath when Cain treated his pa rents to his first concer? Or did the dis tracted parent take the little rascal and walk tlie garden with him? I wonder if Adam ever was obliged to et P 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 over yt*!! and sertam, and stiffen his cunning little ’ nek-bone in his wrath, until even Adam M not bend him? vVas it cold enough there to freeze Adam’s -ight fig-leaf, and did he walk his garden mine with the fig-leaf, frozen stiff behind , him? Did he ever get mad and swear? Did baby scratch and bite-, pull hair and daub iuTdasses 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 ’he had no aunts to pet him; no uncles to wish him to Jericho; and Worse than all that, he had no fond grandpa, nor grandma to spoil him. Did you ever think how utterly miserable Mjs. Eve miTst have been when there was no dob Lor to call in, to shake Ins head over the child’s measles or mumps ! Did they have the measles then? Dear me ! I might keep ; on asking forever, and only echo would an swer. If*you ever see anybody that has been there, do ask them to answer, me. if jb, T I* w* v *• ** jyt ■*£> r* CJ (J Ml.
