GEORGIA.

The Milledgeville Federal Union," Of Tuesday
last, says that "enough is known to determine the
result. Governor Crawford is reelected The
democratic party will have majority in the SEN
ate of three, and the wing party majority in the
house Of six or eight. The wings, consequently,
will have a small majority on joint ballot.
"What has occasioned our failure to secure a
majority in the house II has not arisen from the
action Of the wings, but from division in the ranks
of our own friends We have been defeated by
ourselves, not by our opponents. Had Pulaski
with clear democratic majority of 100 voters,
Butts with majority of 200, Walker with ma.
jority of 200, and Jasper with majority of 10,
each returned member, who would have been a
true exponent Of the political principles of these

would have been democratic, and our triumph in
the legislature would have been complete"

uDOING JUSTICE

The notorious correspondent of the Charleston
Mercury some time since represented John Y.
Mason, esq, the Attorney General Of the United
States, having come TO Virginia in the capacity
of "go between" negotiator of the much-talked-
Of ''intrgue" between Colonel Benton and the
"Union," for the election of Gov Mcdowell to the
United States Senate, upon certain conditions. We
exposed the numerous msstatements and fabrica-
tons of the correspondent, and held up to rdicule
the attempt to inure the President and the "Union
by such disjointed, gross, and absurd fables The
console and high minded scribbler has found ou
that he had slandered the spotess name Of Judge
Mason and at this late day, in the following sen.
tence, comes forward to eat up his own words, and
make some little atonement for his gross imputa-
tons:

become satisfied that Mr. John Y Mason of the
persons engaged in the intrigue by which Benton is endeav
oring procure the return Of Mr. Mcdowell General
no injustice to any one take pleasure in making this cor
rection which is due to the Attorney General"
One important element Of the 1sntrigue" is thus
avowed to be false; and no one can have any faith
n the other ridiculous statements touching this
matter. This man of justice, and TRUTH and charity
will, il he is seriously inclined, easily "become
satisfied" that what he has said Of the other par
ties to the intrigue" is unfounded as is his
silly statement about Judge Mason's agency as in.

would conflict with his pride and his interest to dc

editor of the nUnion." But he has said enough

which that fact was materially connected.

Mason. We must beg leave to correct another

a bare chance for the senator in Dauphin and
Northumberland, and strong hopes of carrying the
one in Union, Mfn, and Juniata; but at the worst,
admitting that both these senators lost-the first
on account of division among our friends; the
second because the district changed is strongly
