Senator Toombs and the Ladies

[Des Arc, Ark.] The Constitutional Union, November 16, 1860

The Columbus (Ga.) Times, of the 30th ult., says:

“Senator Toombs was in the streets of Columbus, on Saturday, the “blue cockade” given him by the fair ladies of Montgomery. God bless them! We are for them and a union with them, where love, harmony, and good feeling exists, but are opposed to any other sort of Union.” The night that the Senator spoke in Montgomery many ladies wore the badge of secession.
