opposition to the republican candidate TO conhne them
selves TO but one candidate; for, should against al rea
sonabe calculation and expectation the choice OF pre-
sdent have TO be decided by the H. OF r., any one OF g
four candidates of the Opposition could not &c e'tcteu
By that body This advice give them, 49, II lue
from opponents; but is The less prudent anu gooo
and should be followed. The Opposition are divided
aonr themselves and cannot agree on one canuiaa'c
Aud what does this division about the fresuci'al eee

and that no unanimy exist among men VINO are a'
mated by opposite principles who are GUIDED ny oPPo

sanction of majority of the people, aud much less OF
ALL And what, besides, does this division among Inc o
ponents of this Federal Administration show ms d'
vision shows the extreme weakness OF the opponents
the Federal Administration, as well as INC weaknrss
those candidates that have started against The epupc1"
candidate for the Presidency. If they were strong
enough to contend with expectation OF success
would they have three candidates already III the hc,d

Bloody Bill memory? Is there any division IN the fe'
publican party? None 1t is possible that the clzens
of some States would have preferred another Candidate
than Mr.. Van Buren, for the Presidency. But when 1t
was perceived that this gentleman was the choce OF
majority Of the party, they periodically waived eiT par
ta!lty for some other citizen, and sanctioned Inc bau
more nomination. Why have they acted thus; Because
ton they could have objection to Mt v buren,, VINO
was pledged of his election to the Presidencyto
follow the policy, and to be guided IN ms hdnnsa
ton of the government by the same principles. IL Is
then undou6ed fact, that Mr. Van buren, is Tie eau
da,e of The Republican Party for the Presidency ana
that lie will receive the unanimous support OF that party
the ensuing election. And 1t is another unuoupled
fact that if the Republican Party is stronger than all
the divisions OF the Opposition, Mr. Van Buren, cannot
fail 10 be chosen PRESIDENT either by the electoral col
egcs or by the House of Representatives, should the
choice have to be made by that body. 49,
In our own State, the Republican candidate Will be
supported by large aorily of the people, there Is no
doubt of the choice November next OF the ticket aucPt
ed during the recent session OF our Legislature we
say by large majority Of the people, for many reasons
In the first place. the Republican party in Georgia Is
strong enough elect the electoral ticket adopted In
the second place, there is much division among lie
State Rights Notification party. The moderate State
gts in favor Of Nh White; but the ultra nn,
lticrs swallow the Proclamation and Bloody B
principles Of that gentleman So it will be almost lmp"s
toIa ticket Being then divided among themselves, Il
must necessarily give strengtho the Rcpubca par
IT, Besides it must be rccoeced that the State Rights
party is composed almost exclusively, men who 'orrr
ly belonged to the Iroup party; and with that party pr
Van Buren, was tvoritc. As nothing has occurred IN
the political Lille of this gentleman, which could inuIo
his claims with his former friends it is not unreasonable
10 suppose that many Of the men will give
him their support by voting for the Electoral Ticket
which was adopted for the Republican party. We are
then justified in declaration, that the RrPubcan can
didale will be supported by large majority OF the Peo
pie of Georgia, while the ranks of the Opposition Will
be divided and while Union cannot possibly exist among
men who have raying point, for the concentration OF
their forces: and whose bunncrs under which they now
igh are of various and dscordant coors at the same
time that Tie banner Of the Republican party is The
identical which has always led 10 vicory-1uSIS"
