PUBLIC SENTIMENT ~ GEoRGrA-NIertiugs
have be! n held in different pnrts OF Georgia,
and after full discussions compromise resolutions
carried. At Athens the debate was kept up for
two days In Georgia and Alabama, and Mis-
sissippi, public sentiment is divided. South
Carolina and Louisiana are the only two States
where there is unanmity--one for the Union,
and the other against.-N o. Crescent.
Our n. o. contemporary forgot to state how
m my meetings in Georgia had rejected and de-
nounced the Clay compromise rs a base surrcn-
der Of the rights of the South. Sentiment is
doubtless divided in Georgia, but by no means
equally divided The s:IllmisSiOniSts in this State
will be routed, whenever the trial is made. or
the people have been uttering nothing but false
hoods in thcirmeetings for the last three months,
We are not without hope, that the "Crcsce' t.
SANDER, the patriotic and manly spirit OF Loui-
siana, when it tells the world, she is unanimous
in favor of her own degradation. We can well
how New Orleans may be prepared
to submit to the Northern yoke, through the
influence of her yankee population and press:
but that the planlu'im Stnle of the South will
do 50, we will never believe until We have ii
from stronger testimony than that of Il paper,
that regards it as treason to defend the Consti-
tuition from violation, and the H. hts of the South
from being trampled on, by every means within
the reach of human power The true traitors
to the Constitution and the Union, are those who
will stand calmly by and see the one, crumhled
in the hands OF ruthless Abotionists and the
other, desccrated by reckless tyrannical majo
rity. The Union is not worth days purchase
after the Constitution has been surrendered to
the destroying hands of IN abolition Congress.
