sl6 In some unaceountabIe way the omitted
portion Of the remarks Of kossurH, in relation
to the proceedings Of Congress, were left out Of
yesterdays editorial. We therefore append
them The passages occurred in his response
to the philadelphia invitation.
The reason why say this, is, that though
a'n fully aware of the circumstance that in the
United States il is the public opinion of the
people which decides in the last instance on
public affairs, and though must confess that
have received here in New York such mani
iestation OF the sympathy of the people AS gives
me hope and consolation, still regard myself
invited TO this country by an act oil Congress
initiated in the Senate. Now, had known that
IN the same place where was invited, the same
body would now decline To bid me welcome,
would have thought that ! was not welcome
guest; so much the ynore as the President of
the United States has formally invited the Con.
gress in his message to consider what steps are
to be taken TO receive the man for whom he has
sent irigate to Asia, complying with the Mill
of the same body in which now resolution of
no further political tendency--the simple res.
olution 10 bid me a wecome-was withdrawn,
on account of an expected opposition Under
such circumstances would not have wished to
intrude
And as it was, with the utmost gratitude to
all who bestowed on him such marks of kind
ness as the city of Philadelphia had offered, and
with sentiments Of sincere regard for
Philadelphia and its citizens, he must defer for a
day or two any positive reply to the request
which had been made to him.

We take the following editorial notice of the
progress of the Southern Rights men in Geor-
gia, from that reliable paper, the Augusta Con-
stitutionalist, of Saturday last
Ex-GovERSoR McDoSALD's PROSPECTS,
The Central Georgian, which favors the cleo
fion of the Hon. Howell Cobb makes the fol-
lowing frank admission of the superior ropu-
'larity of Gov Mcdonald. We think the "Union
friends" of the editor right in thinking that MIR.
Cobb will beat his opponent :" roth lille or no
ease at ALL" They are very i'll at ease on this
point now, and they will have rery little or no
ease al all" between this and the election After
the election, they must take the result phi
losophicay, and if as Paddy said, they cannot
be aisy, they must be as aisy as they can"
1t is rather early in the canvass to gibe out
any surmses as to which way the cat will jump,
and indeed how far she will assume to leap in
thisquarter We know that with our Union
friends the matter is not questionable, for they
think that Cobb will beat Ex-Geo. Mcdonald
with little or no ease at all We must candidly
admit ESQ far as the vicinity is concerned) that
there seems TO hang moral certainty about
this, which is not at all pleasing TO the friends
of Judge Mcdonald, yet we are inclined to the
opinion, from the manner in which tbs nomina-
ton has been received, that Mcdonald will re-
ceive the support of very considerable proper
ton of his old friends, who are not affiliated as
partzans with the Southern Rights party, while
Mr.. Cobb will receive but little, if any support
from the opposite party. OF this, however, bet
ter opinions can be formed as the canvass pro-
crosses"
