.etterl The Letter J
The Democracy IN Georgia.

The result of the late elections has produced n
wonderful effect upon parties in Georgia. The
ordinations and recriminations, which were quite
violent between the Calhoun and Van Buren, De-
mocraccs of that State, before the election, have
assumed a more fierce character since. The
latter swear that they lost the State only
in consequence of the nomination of Cal
houn for President, and Calhoun men for
Governor and Congress; and they insist that a
new State Convention shall be held, TO revoke the
nomination, and put up Van Buren,. On the other
hand, the Cahounites charge that the defeat was
caused by the Van Burenites failing TO vo:e-and
that failure was designed for the purpose of injur-
ing Mr.. Calhoun's prospects.
The following letter, which we find in Column
bus paper, exhibits the amiabe feelings, which per-
wade the harmonious family in Georgia

0T5- The Campaign of 40, with its hummer

tain politicians. 1t haunts them by day and by

certainly be the with many OF the Old Hunk

"Rogues and Royasts" by the Coons. They

We observe that Mr.. Ex-senator Roane even
has permitted his amiable temper to be ruHlcd at
the unpleasant recollectons; and in his letter to
the King William dinner to Mr. Hunter, he has
been betrayed into quite as much coarseness as
characterized his friend and guide of the Enouir
