Enquirer addresses a most excellent article TO his
acknowledgements throughout the Union, which we
have the pleasure Of copying to-day. Written as II

poiitical watch,ower and never Jailed 10 sound the
alarm at The approach Of danger, &c &c, cannot fail
arrest their attention, and contribute 10 bring about
the object at which il aims. And what IS that object
Harmony and union among brethren Of the pollti-
cal faith which has been and s'l Isl endangered by The
perlinaci,y with which portion of our number herald
forth their determination to yield TO no compromise as

and those for whom he speaks, determine TO exercise
forbearance towards their brethren-nake common

predictions TO the voice OF majority OF their asso-

In few days our State Convention VIII meet, where
the Presidential question will doubtless be brought up
How will it be disposed OF IL IN That spirit which
should animate all true Democrats, no dissenson need

state their preferences and if with this they combine

interfere with the established usages OF the party, but
10 conform TO the will Of majority OF the States

able contemporary, especially TO the party in our own
State and would say political friends, in all can
dor, that if they wish 10 keep the Democratic ranks
firm and unbroken, they must utterly repudiale po
Icy that will sever from our brethren in other
States. They must manifest regard for their feel
ngs and opinions-be willing to co operate with then'

one as member of The party or entitled to noml-

confidence and vgor, and victory will perch upon
banner May we no, hope that Georgia will at least
do her duty-and losing sight of men, as far as IN
