From the Savannah Georgian.
Organization of the Southern Democracy.
There seems 10 be no doubt of the thorough and
harmonious organization of the democratic party in
Alabama. The chagrin of whiggery at the prospect.
is of course reasonable and excusatle. Whiggery's
only hope in that State based democratic dissen
sions As these are healed, this hope is bighied.
We remark that the press which is doing, perhaps,
most TO bring into harmonious co operation the lately
discordant elements is the Florence Gazette the organ
of the Compromise democrats of that State. II has ably
seconded the movements of the Montgomery Advert
ser in this behalf. We give, follows, one of its
late editorials:
DEMOCRATIC ORGANIzATIoN.-The praiseworthy eff
forts of the Montgomery Advertiser and Gazette TO
organize the democratic party of Alabama, has met
with hearty response from several OF the democratic
papers The Talladega Watchtower, the Jacksonville
Republican and the Sunny South, have concurred in
the movement, by expressing similar sentiments. We
applaud the enterprise and shall contribute feeble
efforts to preserve the nationality and operation of
the democratic party. These papers to regard ii
the duty of every good democrat, under the crcum
stances, to acquesce in the late decision OF the peo
pie. We trust this patriotic spirit will be cherished
and inculcated by every democran the Stale. If the
unfortunate collisions which divide and distract
ranks, and which we much depiore, will soon
be reconciled and harmony and concert restored.
A most important Presidential election is at hand,
and it becomes US 10 GO to work at once, in effort
TO restore our party 10 lis ancient integrity. We

the Importance OF early and efficient organization
upon the rery issues which have heretofore governed
the party. No new principle should be added to the
democratic creed, and no old should be taken from
it. There is place where the necessity for early and
vigorous preparation is greater than in this district and
county. Let US go TO work. What say you fellow
demOcrats?'
These efforts will doubtless be crowned with success
The democracy of our sister State will emerge soon
from lis late embarrassment, with all its former strength
and invincibility.
In Mississippi, the party made the contest, now Just
closed, purely as democratic party, and upon demo
cratic principles. Though defeated by small maio-
riy, owing 10 the treachery of few of lis members,
it is there fully organized, and in cooperation with the
democracy of the other States. In Texas, Louisiana
Arkansas and Florida, the bonds which bound the
members together have, at no time, been broken. Of
course we need not say that friends in North Ca
rona, Tennessee Kentucky and Virginia keep up, in
all It's strength and compactness, their old organza-
ton.
The question then remains with Georgia What
will the Union or Compromise Democrats in the State

ton with the wings, or will they again associate them.

and thus resume their connection with the democracy
of the whole country? This is question for their
consideration; and one, which, as the Presidential
contest is rapidly approaching, they must consider
very soon.
For our own part we are arith the democracy, and
for lis old fashioned republican principles. All who
will join US in support of those principles welcome
into full fellowship in the democratic party. We ex.
