ing upon our paragraph in reference to Govern
or towns Proclamation, inwhich we expressed
the hope that the people of the State would sus
tain, with promptpess and unanimity, the action
of their Legislative and Executive authorities,
remarks ia1 sI ai .Las4 ~
Our contemporary does not point out the wav
to sustain the action Of the Legislature and
Executive authorities" whether 10y dsunion or
non-intercourse. The important thing Just now
is the manner, the plan, by which this is to be
done. 1 e,
Precisely SO. 1t is the importance" of de-
termining That 'tihng just now" which has in
duced the call of the Convention. 1t is not our
province, even if we felt capable of doing so to
point out ''the manner, the plan bv which this is
to be done" We propose to leave it to the peo-
pie, whose common rights and interests are in
volved. Has not the editor Of the Republican
sufficient confidence in their intelligence, patriot
LAM and moderation to submit the matter to
their deliberation and decision! We will only
add that we have never advocated 'disunion or
non-intercourse," though we are perfectly will
ing to abide by the decision of the people of
Georgian onventiorassembled whom we think
quite as capable of determining what measures
are right and proper to beadoptedi in the present
emergency rs are those politicians and editors
who are laborlng to create divisions among our
people and to place the State in an attitude to
made her ridiculous and contemplate in the eyes
of our enemies. 'at
We are for union us long as the Union can
be honorably maintained but where Georgia de-
clares that she can no longer remain in the I'm
ion, with safety and honor then we are for
Georgia. In the language Of the Republican
on recent occasion-"Much rs we love the
Union we love Georgia more. And when the
people OF Georgia, united with one accord and
with the true spirit of Georgians, shall give her
banner to the breeze. bear il Union or Disun-
ION, we shall be found under its folds, whether
it float in triumph or in od."-Parh (Ga)

TELEGRApHlc VERBosIrY,-We hear fre-
quent complaints of the brief Incomplete and
unsatisfactory accounts which tho. telegraph
furnishes of events and proceedings in different
parts of the country. 1t said to furnish just
enough to spoil the details wnen they come to
hand. Much Of truth ms there is in this
charge, we imagine the telegraph or those
more properly, who cater to its lightning
uses, are equally open to an opposite complaint
Certainly,a great part of the matter published
under the head of telegraphic dispatches is the
most useless and unimportant stuff imaginable
which would not be noticed If received by
due course ofmail in the papers, but which as
it is paid for at the rate of a cent n word or so,
editors think they must spread out in their most
prominent type. s,
daily reader Of city journals will not want
for rllustrations of this state of things, but here
is one, occurring in the Congressional report of
the New York journals that is more ridiculous
than most of those we daily meet
"Mr. Evans asked Mr.. Fitch to yield the
floor n
Mr.. Fitch positively refused.
Mr.. Evans said something. ,,r.-
Mr.. Fitch said something in reply. ~
OF what immense Importance it is in these
days of Congressional vcrbosity, to know that
"Alr Fitch said something,p and "Mr, Evans
said something in reply y What emotions such
startling sentences elongated to paragraphs,
waken in the mind How the soul thrills. as
the great fact is translated to it, that :Mr Evans
SAID something" and what a returning tide of
feeling flows over it, lis close upon the first,
comes the farther solemn fact, that M r. Fitch
said something in reply !"--SWingfeld RepuJ-
