According TO recollection of the Georgia platform
The practical point enuncated by it is that the existence
Of the Union depends upon the faithful execution OF The
iug've-slave law and that the position OF Mr. Cobb is
mat OF acquescence, agreeing substantially with Gov
Trousdale, Gen. Foote. Gov. Collier. Vice President
King and other leading democrats as well as wings Of
the South. Against this platform The souhern-rights
party OF georgia mas sci up anothernot democrats
but as men OF the South--complaningt that sectional in
justice is the result of the Compromise and asserting alb
strac propositions, in the nature of remedies, which
concede to State the constitutional right OF secession at
its pleasure That the resort TO this right of secession
will be attempted if this party should be able to obtain
the political ascendency in Georgia, is distinctly as
Serted that have observed in the speeches OF the can
didates put in nomination by it. Nor is material to
enable the public in Judgment TO decide that the po
stion Of Mr.. Cobb like that of Gov. Trousdale and
Gen. Foote. is the true democratic one-that alone which
will bring the power of the South into harmo
ny with the sound public sentiment of all the other po
tons of the Union, and which will effectualy Danish
from the federal government all the agencies OF dscord
The Georgia platform OF the last year has been already
responded 10 by the democracy in all the western and
northern portions of the Union; and we trust that the
entire South itself will that it is better, in the
spirit of compromise and patriotism, to bury all the bitter
feelings produced by the differences which were natural
and permissible when the Compromise not yet a
law, but which now be revived with possible add
vantage the public, and still less justice the indvid
uals who participated in the debates on the subject.
Events have proved that the measure as whole, was
necessary and that It's delay would have wdened prob
ably beyond all remedy, the breach which sectional peu
dices had made in the harmony and good understand
ing of the various portions of our common country.
