Georgia.

From two of the leading Democratic papers
Of Georgia, we extract the following pungent
editorials. Both are to the point. The Savan-
nah Georgian says:
The COMPROMISE Ritchie,
in late number Of the Washington Union,
holds the following language:
awe repeat that faithful observance of the
principles of the compromise, achich IS far from
eiping The South aohat il is entitled 10, and an
entire abstinence from attacks upon Southern
institutions, will be satisfactory, and ought to
be satisfactory, and ought to be accepted on
trial at any rate"
The Union here frankly admits that the com
promise gave to the South far less than justice.
How that paper can reconcile this admission
with its advocacy of the bill OF denominations,
we will not stop to inquire. We only say that
confessing such to have been the character OF
the ad ustment," it is strange that Mr.. Richie
can find no excuse for those Democrats who
opposed it. Instead of denouncing them, should
he not, if he pretends still to be Southern
man, or even if he claims to be a friend to fair
dealing and honest legislation--should he not
look around for some plea upon which to ex-
,cuse his advocacy of it, That plea doubtless,
is, that it was the best that could be got.
The Columbus Times is more spicy still. 1t
says:
sThe pill seems bitter, but our Silver Gray
friends must swallow it, and will find no relief
in contortons of visage. Hamilton Fish is the
senator, and nothing short of death or resigna-
ton will displace him for six years to e.

election of Hamilton Fish, Well it may. 1t is
marked and substantial triumph Of Seward
ian and higher law" in regular pitched bat
tie with the apeace measures" party. The con-
stitutional Unionists Of Georgia should wear
the cypress 1t would seem that the Empire
State of New York is not satisfied with com
promise, which the Empire State of Georgia has
consented to swallow for the sake of this glo-
rious Union" What fix is this for the proud
State of Georgia! Struggling to submit to an
unjust compromise, which those who have i'm
posed it on her do not pretend to respect Sub
missionists in Georgia may cry Union on the
basis of the compromise" till their throats bis
ter, but it is beyond all dispute that the North
does not feel bound by, and does not intend to
abide by that adjustment" Already is the
GEORGIA platform" trenched on-aready has a
contingency happened, on which the Subs are
pledged to become fi;e-eaters. When Vermont
passed her free nigger" net, Mr.. Richie threat
ened pretty strongly that if another State fol
lowed her example, it would be casus belA-
athe devil would be to pay, and no pitch hot, y
sure enough We'll, Ohio has followed the suit
of Vermont, yet we do not discover that this
glorious Union" has lost one spangle of its
righteousness" If the people of the South
wait for the submissionists of the South to in
dicate the "proper time" for resistance, they
will wait until doomsdny. Submission politi-
clans will never be ready, until they find the
people are determined to go ahead without them.
When that happens, Toombs, Stephens, g. Co,
will be perfect saIamanders. We poor fire-eat-
ers will have to stand aside to give room for
these rushing comets with their whizzing and
blazing tails Mr.. Toombs has given us sam
pie of what he can do in this line. lie has ge-
MUS for the Tlotspur part. Pyrotechnical ora
tory is his fort. Pity he did not stick to that
. role Of character
