49,, q, Nhip rapcr of Mr. roombs' speech the day OF
hs election to the u S. Senate from Georgia, we expressed
the opinion that according the basis laid down by hse
The Unconstitutional Union pary and himself must be pre-
pared to rally upon the Democratic candidate VINO sa DC
nominated at the Baltimore Convention We haVejust re-
ceived fuller sketch of Mr. Toombs speech, reported by
the editor of the Athens (Ga Banner published IN GOV
Cobbs own and OF the leading champions OF Inc
Unconstitutional Union pary in the late exciting canvass
The Editor who heard the speech understood Mr.. ioomo;
to assume the following positions:
That IN 10 the year 1885, there was no division in GeoI
o nm national potics-he State having, before that perl
3D. always belonged without DIVISION to the old kepuo
can party. ,,,, ,oIi,ioo, n,r,;es booan n di

thus entirely passed away and become extinct by the
events The necessity for tho old purity organization haL
passed away with em aud the only national question which
should engage attention is which of The parties
the North had been the soundest the slavery question
the platform Of the Constitutional Union party Of Georgia
upon their national creed?
4. That those OF the late compromise which
specially intended for the protection Of the South

only "a Of so northern wings by all the southern wings
except three or four and by about half Of the southern de-
mocrals.
5. THAT NORTHERN DEMOCRATS HAVE, N EVERY

T. That, although Ie could undertake. say positively
what wGu be the result he felt bound in candu to saw
where The principles of the Georgia platform would LK
usani that ~ in unison with the Ma
rioNAL DEMOCRATS.
s. IT. however m should be disappointed in his expeca-
on that The National Democrats will engra the princi-
pies of the Georgia platform upon their creed r as The
I|hgsh had no hope from aen he would appeal from
of The Old organizations 10 the nation and cndeavor rally

In tho course OF his remarks he took occasion speak

test. He Gid not mention other Democratic States on the

We iavc tbs solemn attention Of Southern Wings TO
these declarations OF one who not long sinca
distinguished and Influential member of their party
but has now under the influence Of observation and reason
been compelled bodily the TRUTH that he has no hone
OF the Wing party doing justice the Constitution and the

Northern Democrats have in every State gone into the bat,
tie with faithful adhcrenceo the compromise as mari of
their political creed condemned all agitation for rcpea or
nlodicaoaand that in view Of these glrnp facts thc
Unconstitutional Union party" OF Georgia would probably
act with the National Democrats No language can more
eoqncny appeal or more strongly enforce the importance
and vital necessity of Virginia Wings cutting themselves
loose from Inc scattered fragments OF their party and array
ing themselves on the side Of the National Democracy who
alone carry out the faithful execution of the COM

The Augusta (Ga) Conslutionls organ Of the same
Southern Rights school, its opinion thar IN.
Democratic party of Georgia should go into National De-
nocrac Convention butii would be their duty TO refuse 10
let with the majority they proved hemscveso be unsouud
pon the slavery queson-yet it has hopes that 'he Dem
c5ac party North will yet rally upon the true principles of
he constitution, under the lead Of those able and ds,in
uished Democratic statesmen Buchanan Dallas Douplas
audng and Others vino have bravey and nobly thrown
themselves into The breach 10 resist agitation and
cry bigoiry If one of those with their avowed sentiments
houid be the nominee of National Convention we think
he Democratic party South should rally his support and
Sert themselves TO the utmost 10 elect him."
With sr Toomts this "Southern Rights organ declares.
We believe there is hope for South in the views or
eeFninrd policy Of the Northern Wings. IF we can have
cpes all OF the Norhs justice they must be placed upon
ne Northern Democrats. The question now is will il be
onserousor d<honorabc to try them to try them once
