GPORGIA. OUR MACON CORRESPONDENCE. Maco, Nov. 16,1860. Wilt Georgia Secede?—Question Answered— Position of Her Public Men—Feeling and Reasoning Among the Peo- ple, de. “Will Georgia secede?’ This question comes to the writer every Cay, and many times a day, orally, by let- fer and over the wires from uneasy businers men in Northern cities. It shall be answered as honestly and as truthfully as tbe impartiality of the writer and the un- certainty of all fatare events will admit. Georgia, in my judgment, will secede. In 1860 Howell Cobb was elected Governor on the issue of remaining in the Union under the compromise acts, by a majrrity of eightecen thousand votes. That was the Union majority of that day. Cob bad then an immense personal popu- larity im bis section of the State, and he was backed {p all sections by such an array of personal inflvence and Oratorical advocacy as has rarely beem brought to the aid of any gubernatorial candidate in Georgia. In ‘thint ing over the splendid names which contributed to this Union triumph, I cannot now remember one, except it be Hon. A. H. Stephens, who is not now an advocate Of State action against the Lincoln administration. Cobb himeelf is for it,as you know. His younger brother, Thos. R. 8 Cobb, althongh unknown in public life, yet one of the most splendid intellects and orators in the United States, a man of the highest moral and religious charecter, is in the feld, a most earnest and potent cham pion for secession. James Jackson, Robert Toombs, Hen- ry R Jackson, Absalom H Chappell—in fact, not to be tedious, all the lights of the great Union campaign of 1860 now glow with ardor for seccasion. Looking at all our public men (whatever the future may develope), I would pot dare, cpon present information, put down one as distinctly and definitely arrayed against it. The lapse of a few weeks may, indeed, discover some poworful op- Position leaders; but the question of a vast preponde rance amoog leading and speaking men for secession In Georgia ts already settled. And bow about the people? Iwill say nothing about the chronic fre eaters, and aim to tell you the current of feeling and opinion among the consePrative classoe— thove who only look to government for protection, and care pothing for political preferment. These men look at the election of Linco'n as the culmination (inevitable fooner oF later) of a fanstical prejudice inwrought in the Northern people by edoration, and which must neorssar! ly, tm the end, prove fatal to the South anless a separa. ton taker piace, They say it may possibly be delayed « Mttle while; but to what purpose? What will be gained by i? In vain do you tel! them that, after all, Lincoln wil! be conservative, and we have still a majority tn ‘the Supreme Court and in Congres. What does that amount tof You have added to the long list of acts enowing an oDpconqueradle diaposition to wage « political war on slavery—the crowning offence of installing © pational administration fer that porpose (oor adm!t ‘the fatal precedent, and nothing is Ieft but ruin.
