THE UNION PARTY OF GEORGIA

lheIe seems 10 be very general disposition
manifested IN every section OF the country 10 o.
bllterdte the old established landmarks of par,v
with view TO the formation of new associations
tor the preservation Of the Union In many Of
the Northern States, this feeling of attachment to
the Union has been exhibited in unmis,akabe
signs; and more recently in Georgia, a Union
meeting was held at the Capital several night,
dullng the session of the Convention, ayowedlv
with The object of eiIecling thi, new organization
Of parties. The meetings were largely attended
by leading members of both of the present DO
liiical parties, and were ably addressed by some
OF the most prominent citizens of that State a.
mong them Messrs Toombs md Stephens Of the
House OF Representatives. The Recorder speaks
OF their efforts, as of the meeting and its objects,
in glowing terms. 1t says COMMITTEE com.
posed Of the men of the old and now defunct par.
ties, was appointed to present 10 the assrmbage
the principles of the great Union Constitutional
Party, now formed all over the Union, and then
being formed for Georgia"

the report and resolutions of the State Copven.
ton aud we infer from the remarks of the Re-.
corder, though it does not say so in terms, that
the new party will, at proper time, take steps
to present candidates, irrespective of the old
party lines, TO fill .he several offices of the State,
The proceedings not officially reported, but
are promised at an early day.
Thus II will be perceived that, in Georgia at
least, we are - have no more whiggerv and no
more democracy, but unionism and anti.union-
ism as the tes of party fealty. There can be lit.
tie doubt as to the relative strength of the par.
tres thus organized, as we take it the union men
will have it all their own way. We confess we
take very little pleasure in this one sided game,
especially as we had hoped to have the extreme
grahhcaion of giving our old enemy, the De-
mocracy, 'partlcular Jesse" in the next Pres-
DENTAL canvass However, il they all come
10 our SIDE without whipping, We suppose no
reasonable Wing ought TO complain.
The Recorder referring to this new party says

We may add, in this connection. that large
Union meeting, of both parties, was held in
bridgeport, Connecticut, on Thursday''last, and
that strong resolutions were passed in favour of
the Union, and especially of the COMPROMISE
