TnE LATE ELEcTIoSs.--Whcn we said last week,
that the day of general election in this State
most inauspicous one tor the Union party, We had no
dea OF the amount OF damage the good bad recey
ed under its auspices. We then barely heard the fact
that heavy rains had ushered in the day in up
try and that they had continued with cessation until
late in the aiternoOnThs intelligence pre- pared for
bad news, well of the confidence of our
friends as 10 the result and of the absence OF local oppo
son IN many OF our strongest counties in that quarter
Our fears have been than realized Throughout
~ The who the Western the Cherokee and the Coweta
Circuits the strong holds of democracy the Union ticket
has lost thousands OF votes from this alone whilst
opponents have been enabled bring field their
whole strength in those sections of the State where they
are the strongest For The correctness of this statement
we have only TO refer friends our tabular returns
OF the election this week, when it will be that Put
nam Greene Ogetorpe and other strong holds of Null
hcaton in the middle and low voted their
full strength, whilst Habe franklin Dekalb and
other strong holds Of democracy have fallen short
more than one third In Habersham and Franklin alone
the Union majores reduced, account of the
ner ana the absence OF the county opposition, from
FOURTEEN HUNDRED, TO eight hundred !,
But whilst these the main causes which arc al
buted the decrease of the Union majurcs this fall
would be uncandid to say they the only ones-o,ler
circumstances have contributed To produce this result
HE mad dog cry of Federalism against the Union
candidate for Governor Judge Schley injured our

element on the subject of Slavery handled as it was
against Mr. Van Buren, contributed is share is equally
certain But Notwithstanding all the base efforts OF null

tremendous strength notwithstanding all tlese-thc
Union party is again triumphant, and Notification and
all lis corrupt cunning devices for deludng and binding
the People, Frustrated in the dust
Although the Democracy OF Georgia in the late con-
test has not thought proper the its
weak adversarics with exerton of its full strength
yet have they been reminded that its prowcss as
mendous ever and ready nhea the time arrires for an

Mr.. VAS buren, ABoLIrioxisrs-We call
the particular attention of readers letter i'm ano-
Their column OF our paper to-day, from the Hon Martin
Van Buren, to gentleman at the South, the subject
OF the Northern Aboitionsts. The effort of Multi
ers to njure MIR. Van Buren, the South thereby
distract the Democratic party of the country, through
the fundamentally of Il few fanacal outlaws of the
North Will, we predict, result in way, any thing but
gratifying to his enemies There is better evde nee
OF the purity and integrity of this disting iDdv
dual, than the fact proven by the history of his whole
M that every attempt TO PROSTATE his influence and po-
Puarty, has invariably resulted eevating him higher
in the estimation, and deeper in the affections OF tle
American people That the late effort ALLEVIATE him
from the Democracy of the South, because a handful
of fanatics at the North preach up emancipation will
ultimately terminate have terminated all other at
tempts of Ike character To PROSTATE hm-to his advan.
tagewe have but little doubt For the fact cannot be
long concealed from the people of the South that Mr.
Van Buren, and his party in the Middle and the North
ern Siates are their true friends this subject; and
If the Union be and the fanatics nut down
IT must be through his and their instrumentality.
Whilst on this subject, cannot but congratulate
the citizens of the Cherokee circuit in this State
on their devotion to democratic principles manifested by
their support of the Union ticket the late election
These counties it said, would because mostly set.
tied by Tennesseeans go to White and the coalition
But it they made of stuff than 10 give
up their principles at the beck and bidding of Bell Crock
ctt " Co of Tennessee and desert the standard of
Jackson Van Buren, and Democracy Mo- these hardy
mountain patriots told very different tale the first
