Tlie following is the Bill, as passed by both Houses of the Georgia Legislature, tor the relief of the people, and which was vetoed by his excellency, Gov. Jen kins. Gov. Jenkins belongs to the past, and wo feel perfectly sure the people of Goer i gia will remand him too virtuous repose j at the next election. He is by far too j honest, too conscientious and too conser vative for times like these. \\ r e want a bold, fearless man—one who under- 1 stands something of human nature, the! wants of the people, and the temper of the times—one who will not weigh a worthless piece of parchment., called “Constitution,” in tho scale against the highest interest of the people. We have no constitution! and it is folly to cling to tho fragments when our very exis tence is involved. Give ns a man equal the emergency—with brains and moral strength enough to cope with destiny. We want tto purile sickly sentimental, constitutional Psalm singing men in of fice,in times’like the present. A BILL TO DR ENTITLED AN" ACT FOB THE RELIEF OF THE I’EOI'I.F.
