From the Macon (Ga.) Messenger.
POLITICAL PROSPECTS.

We are happy to learn that the iate
Commencement at Athens, passed of with
out any political movements calculated to
| Interrupt the harmony ofthe State Rights
Party. Our opponents anxiously looked
ID, and prayed for such result; but this,
their iorlorn hope, has been dlsslPated,
and blown 10 the winds.
II is settled then, that we shall have no
new issues pending the present election,
and no new party organizations. The
good old banner of State Rights is yet the
proud and only standard to which we rally.
In spite of the prayers and hopes OF our
opponents, the integrity, the unity, the
harmony Of the State Rights party are
preserved. We are one and indvisible--
although evanescen, or extranuous topics
of the day, may cause differences in opln-
ion amongst US. Yet let our adversaries
know that these differe@es of opinion as
to how the Government shall best collect
and keep its corrupting revenues, or in
what currency II shall pay and be paid,
will not divide the State Rights parity
There is too much common ground OF
great constitutional principles for us to
stand upon, TO consent TO be torn and rent
by these considerations. 1t is true, our
party differ, as they have ever differed,
on subjects connected with the currency,
because fsey enj2y The proud prerogdttpe Of
thinking for themselves. and moi like our
opponents, TO have creed prescribed tor
them by party caucus, to which they
must give full consent, item by ilem.--
Some are Bank men--some Sub Treasury
men--others opposed TO both-yet are We
all State Rights men. oar Political Ia
theirs have differed on these subjects
Jefferson, and Madison, and Crawford, and
Lowndes, and Troup, and Berrien-lunii-
nouslgh:s, have differed. We, as State
Rights men aud republicans Of the school
Of '98, have never thought Of prescribing
our eloquent and accomplished Wilde, who
is now ga herring Iaurels in foreign cline,
because he was United States B INK man:
nor have we the less delighted 10 honor
our Berrien, our Crawford, or Chappell,
and many others. because they thunght
with him. We have not and we shall not
> bro c'ibe any whv have b1en our friends,
tor opinions sake, on the subject OF the
currency, sd long as we find them not fol-
lowing in the irdln ofthe ambitious Judas,
who would have made our principles and
}. our attachment for him, his merchandise.
A The State Rights party Of Georgia are
!. made of slerner materials, than thus to he
brought TO the shambes to accommodate
n political aspirant. With shame we have
+ witnessed this in those we are constrain.
4 ed TO recognize as our fellow citizens
!; They have bowed TO the beck of political
;. leaders, without daring to say. why and
wherefore is this? with all the blind zeal
Of religious devotee to his teacher. But
proud we are, that with US it is not So
We are even proud of our dssentions, be-
cause it augues freedom ofthought and
opinion among our party. But WE must
regret that some Of our wise men, OF whom
we are proud; have gone into the support
of the ubTfeasury system. We could
wish that it was otherwise. We could
wish that against this tinckering scheme
OF the administrators, the whole undivided
mora, power of the State Rights party
was arraycd. But as honest differences Of
opinion, on these questions, have ever
been tolerated, so we still declare for free
toeration. While we cannot agree in
! this currency question with that portion
Of our State Rights ticket for Congress,
, who are Sub-Treasury men, yet there are
many things in which we do agree with
them. Certain we are, that with the 9TH
or ticket We agree in nothing. We shall
therefore not oppose our old friends, ex-
cepi they give in their adherence 10 Mr..
Van Buren,. We have no reason to expect
such recreancy from any ore Of them, as
f yet.
