POLITICS IN GEORGIA.
FROM THE s.vAssAH nrrusIrc4s ., MARCH i.

We invite the particular attention Of the People
Of Georgia TO the admirable letter Of Mr. CoBB, in
reply to an invitation to attend the Union celebra
ton, on the 22d February, in Macon It so full,
so powerful, SO crushing in its positions and rea-
soning, that we shall offer no comments upon it,
convinced that nothing we could say would add
strength to its arguments point to its ustration
The letter is eminenty worthy Of its distinguished
author, and it will not fail to carry terror and dis
may into the ranks of the disunionists in Georgia.
The disorganizing presses have felicitated them
selves on more than one occasion upon the prema-
t.ire dissolution of the Union party in this State.
They have more than once recorded the death and
burial Of the new organization which has sprung
up from the ashes Of old parties. Their revolu-
iionary schemes dictated such policy, and there
fore we are not surprised at their course They
should have waited. however, until the ides of June
had passed. when there will be another and second
gathering Of the People of Georgia at their capital
to carry out what was SO nobly begun in November
last. When the great Constitutional Union Party
shall have nominated its candidate for Governor
and put its forces in motion, those presses will then
realize the fasity of their prophecies in the over
whelming and exterminating defeat with which
they will be swept from the field.

The New SENATOR FROM RHODE IsLAND.-The
position of Gen. JAMES, the Senator elect from
Rhode Island, who was nominated by the Demo
Gratis, but was elected by Wing votes, is no longer
doubtful, if any faith is to be placed in verbal de-
clarations and written pledges. Mr.. BENJAMIN
FINCH, one Of the Wing members Of The Legisla-
ture who voted for him, states in letter TO the
Providence Journal, that while the question of
electing a United States Senator was pending,
Gen. JAMES addressed the following note to the
Hon. WILLIAM SPRAGUE, the substance Of which
was communicated to Mr.. FINCH and others, be-,
fore voting for him, and on the strength of which
they voted for him
Hon. WIN. SPRAGuE: .a>-. ...,,,.. .
"DEAR SIR: In reply to your inquiries, permit me to
say am ia favor Of the leading Wing measures and par
cuary that of tariff that shall afford ample protection to the

Mr.. Finch further states that in an interview
with Gen. James on Monday, the 10th instant, he
fully confirmed the declarations made in the letter,
and gave me the most positive assurances that he
was Wing, and that he should act with the Wing
party in the Senate of the United States.'' This
would seem to settle the question as to the politi-
cal position of Gen. JAMES. as a.
