Sufficient notice had not I.eon given and I litre foie the gathering was not as large as expected, The lew, however, wlu> were present, wo found very c nth twins tic in the advocacy ,ol Democratic prin ciples, and zottlyua champions of our no ble standard bearers, SuYjmtm uml Jli.aim. The meeting was organised by.calling kip. W. l?BiuilS(ini:u> to the l.luiir, ami selecting Mu. .lambs Bkntt.ky Secretary. The Chairman in a few pointed remarks, explained the object of the meeting, and announced the speakers present lor tin' occasion. First in order was Mr. I*. L Fh i.BS, who in consideration of the mea gre assemblage waived the privilege ex tended, and suggested that ( apt. .lambs 1,. Mosr.rsv, el Illacksl.ear, former citizen of Brooks) be permitted to grati fy the desire of his former neighbors and friends, and address them on the issues of the day. Gapt. Moseuy; (tievegtakcji at a dis, ndvaiilage) promptly responded in liig usual eloquent and interesting mitmier, and for some forty minutes held the cn raptured ears of his audiance with words of wisdom, and sound polilcal reasoning There wero no converts to make, but weapons of warfare wero furnished his hearers so they might go forth to the po litical field and labor undci-standingly for the advancement, if correct principles,. .budge James 11. llcnikU foil awed in a biy i address, which was well and favor ably received. The Judge is doing yeo man service for the Democracy, and on this occasion, if there hud been present u doubting voter, Ids dear logic and un answerable argument would have se cured bis voluntary entrance into the Democratic Hock. S. T. Kinusbkmiy, Esq,, was next called upon, but briefly declined making .a a speech on tlm occasion. Our friend KlNtistiEßßY can make n r/utxZ speech and the next crowd we catch, him in v. dl take care lie is not let oil’ so easily.— Lawyer's should never be excused flow speaking, when called upon; they ate al ways ready with limber tongues. After the speaking it was suggested, and most ia.-ai lily approved that a Con servative Gluli be organized at Nankin, and a meeting for said purpose will be held on next Saturday. It will also be perceived, by a notice elsewhere that the Democracy of the Fifteenth District propose furnishing a barbecue on Saturday, the l'Jth, and the citizens of the entire county arc invited. Thus the good work goes bravely on ! And the determined champions of (''in stitutional Liberty are resolved not to cease their labors, until every man w hite and black, within the limits oi Brooks, are enrolled under the banner of Suvsna a and Bi.alr. 1 ’ecsona I. We were gratified to meet in our town on Saturday, our old friend and General Agent, Gapt. .T. L. Mosixkv, at present i a resident of Blucksheur. Gapt.

Unfortunately wo wero absent from town and did not hear the GaptaiiFs speech,; but those who wa re present, speak of it ; ns one of his happiest efforts,, Ife is a fluent, eloquent and graceful speaker, and can end will accomplish much good during the present struggle with Radi calism.

A correspondent of the New York Herald sums itp the political situation iu Georgia as follows: In 1860 Georgia'poHed!nearly one hun dred and fen thousand white votes. As every white person in this state is en franchised the probabilities are that one hundred and fifteen thousand white votes will he east next November. Os this number Grant and Colfax m»y receive fifteen thousand, certainly not more. It will therefore be seen that one hundred thousand white men will vote for the Democratic candidate, and if to this he r; i r m >iv thousand negro vote-, which will assuredly be cast the san , way it becomes evident that the Radicals cannot carry Georgia. They know and admit this fact, but they hope that Congress will meet next month and order nnns to be distributed among the carpet fug governed States. Os course these weapons will be placed solely in hands of Radicals, who will attempt to control the election by force. If this is attempted a bloodly war of political par ties will follow in the South, and tho poor negro dupes will got the worst of it.
