eloquent addresses.
This is, we believe, the first popular demon
stration yet made in South Carolina in opposi-
tion to the action of the immediate secession
lists. That it may be followed up and cordially
responded to in other parts Of the State must
be the sincere prayer Of every patriotic citizen.
Georgia Union Convention.
The delegates to the Constitutional Union
Convention of Georgia assembled on the I'd in
slant at the capitol, in Milledgeville. General
j. w. A. SANFORD, of Baldwin, was called to
the chair for the purpose of organization, and
addressed the assembly in few appropriate
and eloquent remarks. The organization was
completed by the choice of the Hon. JOHN j.
FLOYD, from the county of Newton, president
of the convention by acclamation. On motion
of Hon. r. TooMBs, the chair was requested to
appoint committee of three from each judicial
district to report matter for the action of the
convention. The following committee was
named accordingly:
Northern circut--Messrs. Toombs, Thomas and
Terrell; Middle-Molt, Strange, and Stapeton;
Eastern-George II. H. Jones and Elkins South
Hendricks, Tomlson, and Cook; Chattahoochee-
Johnson, Brown, and Clarke; Coweta--Ezzard,
Kendall, and Camp; Cherokec-Rodding, Coch-
rane, and Word; Western-Hillyer, Woford,
and Mitchell; Ocmulgec-Meriwether, Stafford,
and Hardeman; Flint-Armstrong, Norman, and
Cobb.
After the appointment Of the committee, the
convention adjourned to the afternoon, at four
o'clock; when Mr.. TooMBs, chairman of the
committee of thirty three, made the following
report:
'sThe committee of thirty three, to whom was
referred the duty Of submitting business for the
ton Of the convention, beg leave to report that,
after taking the subject into full consideration,
they recommend to the convention the adoption of
the following resolutions, to wit:
"Rssoipsd, That the Constitutional Union party
of Georgia. devoted to the Union of the States,
hereby reafirm the report and resolutions Of the
Georgia convention of 1850.
"Resolvsd, That we have witnessed with pro-
found regret the opposition to three principles by
the convention Of our opponents recently assem-
bled at this place, because that opposition is calcu
lated to destroy the moral force of the position
which our State has taken before her sister States
and before the whole world-to create divisions
and dissensons among our own people upon
great and momentous subject, on which should
be, and on which we have been, united and by
such divisions and dissensons thus weakening US
to invite renewal Of aggressons upon southern
rights, which may end in the overthrow of our
Union, in the destruction Of free and happy
government, and entailing ourselves and chill
drcn the consequences of revolution.
The committee recommend to the convention to
proceed to the nomination of candidate of the
Constitutional Union party for Governor of Geor-
gia"
The report of the committee was unanimous
ly adopted, when Mr.. ,WoFFoRp, in compliance
with the recommendation of the committee,
moved that Hon. HOWELL Com, of Clark, be no
minated by acclamation as the candidate Of the
party for Governor. The nomination having been
made accordingly, the convention appointed
committee to wait upon Mr.. CoBB, passed vote
of thanks to their President and Secretaries,
Messrs. STEEL and BETHUNE, and adjourned
without day.
The Union papers in Georgia are republish-
ing the report and resolutions Of the State Con-
vention Of December last, and reaflirmed in
the resolutions ofthe convention, as the basis on
which they place as their standard bearer the
Hon. HOWELL CoBB, whose nomination will
no doubt be hailed with universal appreciation
by the Union party Of the State.
''The issue now presented to the people of
Georgia." says the Augusta Chronicle, sis
Union or Disunion, and they are expected to
decide accordingly" We have no fears as to
the result. We agree with Senator BUTLER
when he says, in his recent letter to the citi-
zens Of Edgefield district" GEORGIA has had
the destinies Of the South in her hands-she
will have statesmen who will see her inter
ests and will pursue them. There is spirit in
that State that would animate any common
wealth on earth" We believe that the spirit
Of which the honorable Senator speaks exists in
Georgia, and that it is the spirit, not Of Dis
union, but of USIoN.
