Early Georgia opinions on politics and war fever
A collection of editorial notes criticizes Georgia politicians like Senator Colquitt and Governor candidates, comments on Civil War era loyalty, and speculates on federal missions. The column argues against railway tariffs, calls for Southwestern Georgia to name the next governor, warns about Census style shifts, and discusses the Louisiana Lottery, a looming Anglo Russian war, and corn planting advice for farmers.
