For len years past, Mr.. Calhoun has
been treated with great neglect and iliiber-

Democratic newspapers have united TO

OUR DEFEAT IN GEORGIA.
Tie Globe, in accounting for The Dem.
ocraiic deIea, in Georgia, says: "lu Geor-
giu. the attempt a, organization was in a
grea, degree frustrated. by objections TAX.
Gu to the acts Of the Convention by por-
ton Of the Democratic party in that Slatc,"
And his correspondent from Georgia ob-
serves: 1.-The result here would have been
very dilieseui, had we not ioolishly per-
miiied The question OF the Presidential
nomination to be mingled in our councils"
The Athens Banner points to the Same
cause. when IL proposes tho call Of another
State Convention. and says 1.-The caucus
selection Of Calhoun delegates gust be
rcpudated." Now, If we understand these
iutimations, they mean ro,hng more nor
less than lhis-thal portion Of MIR. Van
Bureu's friends stayed from lhe polls, in

defeat Of the Democratic party from The
Presidential election. has been through the

But New Hampshire is situated precisely
as she is, with The general ticket system in
operation; and yet, by voluntary ar

to National Conventions, send their Re-

There was another cause. however, for
