THE FEDERAL UNION, ( Cnrntrof Hancock and ffitkivsotstreets.) Tuesday Morning, May 5, I8G8. EIjKC'TIOW FKAl’DS, We call the attention of all Demo crats to tlie circular of the Chairman of the Democratic Committee, of Ful ton County, which will be found in this paper.

The result of the late election in many counties in the State shows what might have been done in the State with proper effort. If a thor ough organization of a Democratic Club in every county had been made and colored men been induced to join, the result would have been very dif ferent. The buliot has been forced upon the black men by their and our enemies. They will vote either for or against us. This point being already decided, every motive of principle and | ( policy should impel us to induce them to vote with us. This will be easily effected because it is their interest, and THE NOBVK SEICAB THOfCHT. A large majority of the colored men in this and several of the adjoining counties, voted with the Radicals, against their friends and neighbors ; and vvbat have they gained by it? They have elected some men to offices whom they know- very well w T ere not tit for them. They have injured theuu selves and their beet friends by voting to move the Capital from a healthy and convenient location in the centre of the State to a disagreeable place in one corner of the State. By this foolish and wicked movement they have vo ted to tax the citizens millions of dol lars without any benefit. They have in jured the feelings and destroyed the con fidence of those who have been and would have continued to be their best friends. Those of them who are me chanics have driven away their best customers, and all who have voted against their white neighbors in favor of those enemies who have come among us, only for the purpose of plunder and office, have destroyed the confidence and friendship of all those who can and will help them in the day of trouble. And what have they got for all of tnese sacrifices ? They have elected George Wallace and Peter O’Neil to the Legislature in Baldwin County, and a few other colored inen in some of the other counties. But what good will these men do them ? Will they give them bread or meat or clothing? Will they give them mon ey? Not a bit of it, and what good will these men do in the Legislature ? Not any, they will have no influence, and will only vote to tax you when these carpet-bag foreigners shall bid them do it. We have good reasons to know that many of the colored men who voted for the Radicals against their best friends, already feel sorry for their mistake, and have made up their minds never to be caught in such company again. They have re flected that George Wallace and Peter O’Neii can do them no good in the lay of trouble. “What shall we eat, an<! what shall we drink, and where withal! shall we ho clothed,” is much more important to each one of us than whether George Wallace and Pe- C ONSERBATIVE NEG ROES.—Tile G rif- fin Star says, aud we cheerfully en dorse it: One of the most cheering signs of the times is the vast number of colored men who have voted on the respectable side, in the late campaign. We are inclined to the opinion that the negroes, as a whole, have done better than the whites—indeed, we are amazed wliten we think of the perfec tion of the organization, and drill of the Radical party, that so many ne groes have broken loose from their fetters, and joined their political for tunes with those of their true friends; and are we proud to be able to state, that in this section, the negro Radicals are going over by scores and hundreds to the Democratic party. We hesi tate not to say, that should the elec tion be repeated this week—in this county—the blacks, without the aid of a white vote, would elect the Demo cratic ticket. Now, we urge the white people to reciprocate the con duct of these friendly blacks; let them see by our every day actions, that we are their friends indeed, let us give them the preference on all occasions, and whenever they are in trouble, let us go promptly to their relief. If this course is steadily pursued, in twelve months from now, a Radical negro will be a curiosity in Griffin. The Clour of the Trial. The Washington correspondence of the Boston Advertiser says: The Senate, after the close of the arguments, will go into secret session for consultation. A proposition will be offered by Judge Edmunds to admit the official reporters, so that the speeches of the Senators may be taken down and printed with the report of the trial, and half a dozen members arc already known to be in favor of such procedure, while several will oppose it strongly. The vote on the separate articles of impeachment will betaken in open Senate, on Wednesday or Thursday, probably, of next week. When the question arises of pronounc- THE BAINS AND THE EKOFM. Our exchanges from all parts of the State come to us filled with the most gloomy reports of the damage done to the growing croj s by the recent un usually heavy rains. All the low grounds have been entirely washed out, and even lands that were thought to be above the reach of common fresh ets have been swept over. As a spec imen of the damage done, we make the following extract from a letter re ceived by one of our commission houses from a planter in Bartow, Jefferson county: “The freshet lias done great damage all through this sectiou ; the mills are nearly all broken and the crops badly injured. Cotton—now almost time to commence chopping—is in many cases not yet planted, and that which was planted before the heavy rains I fear will have to be planted over, as I have not heard of a good stand. I think it would be for the best if it was not planted.” We agree with the writer, heartily. It would certainly be much for the best if the planters would put in corn in place of the cotton that was washed out. By so doing they can make meat and thereby support themselves. Plant corn by all means—there is still time to raise a good crop.—Sac. Advertiser. jHIP'Gen. Hancock’s name, says the Boston Post, is received with ureat favor by a large portion of the Demo cratic press of the country, and the more conservative of the Republican journals concede that his nomination would be one of great strength fur the party of the Constitution. IIis char acter and his record unite in diawiug upon him the earnest attention of the country. Ilis intellectual ability and sound political principles are a pledge of his special qualifications for this great crisis in our history. His patri otism is fitly coupled with unsullied morals, which in these times impart to it an increased elevation. It is already apparent that no candidate will be a greater favorite with the people, nor so able to cope successfully with the most promising party arrangements which Radicalism can desire, A brave CIRTI8 AND BCTI.Ei:. In reading Courtis’s magnificent speech for the defense one cannot help contrasting it with Butter’s opening for the prosecution, says the New York Journal of Commerce. The two men and speeches, are types of the two sides of the case. Butler is impudent, fierce, exaultant over an easy anticipated vic tory: Curtis polite, calm, confident in the impregnable strength of his po sition and in the justice of the Senate. Butler, argues where he has a founda tion forargumeut, ably ami effectively; beyond that he quibbles and asserts. —Curtis keeps to the bounds of strict dislectics; his reasoning is like a chain, in which there i.s no weak links, lead ing from certain premises to certain conclusions.—Butler talks like a feed lawyer, at bis favorite pursuit of mak ing the worse appear the better cause. from the Chronicle & Seotinel. tpanhoa Kim i* „ '"** " HITE I.ABORERN FUR GEORGIA.

But until we are relieved from this oppiession let us have courage and patience. Let us by every honest means in our pow er try to build up our broken fortunes. Above all, let us try to provide a sup ply—an ample supply of provisions. The Radicals can not prevent the earth from giving her harvests.

Mr. Logan open ed but was called to order for using the word “villainous.” He took it back and was again called to order for saying Mr. Brooks said what lie (Brooks) knew r to be untrue.

The resolutions were tabled, 70 to 26. little floating capital and property which bad been accumulated were swept away by the fortunes of war, tlie march of armies or the petty pil laging of the conquerers. And if the negro, even in chattie slavery did not add anything to the wealth of the country beyond his own support and multiplication, will he do more as a freedmnn when freed without his own effort or expressed wish ? There was always a strong mutual attachment between the slave and his pathy. Tlie feeling was strong then. And if the negro had been let alone, in a very- large majority* of cases he would Monday morning, he assumed com-i have rein ned with his former owner mand, with swagger and bluster, and i and worked for wages.
