which has been rarely wnessed-her ablest champions

But Georgia does not stand alone. The sympathies OF
the neghboring States be addressed. South Car
ona, Mississippi, perhaps Florida, are to be called in
to swell the opposition within her borders. Not

calling convention in Georgia, but Governor Qutman

upon the deep attachment Of our countrymen to the
Union to extrcate from the confusion into which

We feel it our duty, under existing circumstances,
when so many startling efforts are to be made to rally
upon more southern theatre all the elements OF dssen
son to lay before readers the gathering signs of the
tempest For this purpose, copy from the last Charles
ton Mercury and the Savannah Republican the following
copious extracts We should add that the proceedings
multiplying of meeting after meeting and day after
day of the contending parties in Georgia We shall
tempt to present synopsis Of the whole, whether the
movement be in Georgia Alabama. any other south
ern State We should mos, cheerfully dedicate our
precious space anything else but when the peace and
the union OF country at issue, how throw
more interesting transactions into our columns'
After the extracts which follow from the Charleston
and Savannah papers, spread before readers long
and an able letter from Judge Weborn, member OF
Congress from the Columbus district the hot-bed of ex.
element in Georgia, which he now addresses to his
situents. The character OF this gentleman is init.
maiely known TO Georgia, and it is now known 10
the nation by his recent career in Congress. A
worhier man is not to be found in oar public coun.
cls and he occupies this enviable postion--that
his motives are above suspicion. Months ago he pro.
claimed his intention to retire TO private life, after the
present Congress- He declares himself candidate for
r.. election. He has nothing to ask OF the people
nothing of the government and il be errs therefore,
his views must be an error OF the head and not Of the
heart We understand that he is the law.partner OF
