pable of doing very Iiaeinjury in this State It's

"We beg pardon of our readers for devoting SO
much space TO matter of such little conse

This article, we submit, dsposes of most of
the ingenious interrogatories of the Union.
Our Democratic witness from GEORGIA gives
precisely the same account of the state of things
in the Southern States that we gave in our ar
tcle of Thursday morning. Now for voice
from ALABAMA. The Mobile Register is one
of the ablest and most influential Of the Dem
ocratic journals in that State. From the i'm
preston of that journal of the 28th of August
we copy the following paragraphs to show what
the Democratic press of his State say of Sen
ator CLEMENS and the Union party:

| "The politicians who were concerned in getting
up this party had an o6jsct in view. The object of
| the Wines we have stated 1t to strengthen
their cause. II was to give them power. 1t was
to enable them, when it became necessary, TO cs
tablish their principles and to succeed in their
measures With the DEMOCRATS the object was
equally transparent. The prominent men of this
party, who were active in the formation Of the
called Union party, had Lost favor with the Democ
racy. Among them were Footc Of Mississippi,
Cobb of Georgia, and Clemens of Alabama.
Against all of these men the Democracy had se
rious cause Of complaint. They saw the hand
ioritirg the wall 1t required no prophet to read

sbalance of Democracy and were found tuanting. 1t
was wise in them to make some provision for the
future The formation of the Union pa eiy was the
| device. II was hoped that they could distract
and divide the Democratic party. The Wires
were iaduced to believe that they could not only
bold their own party together, bot transfer them,
when occasion required, to the assistance and
support of their new allies. This, no doubt, was
the understanding between the friends Of the
called Union party. Hence find that in Mis-
sissppi Georgia, and Alabama, with some noble
exceptions, the Wing party generally are in favor
of the election Of Foote, Cobb, and Clemens.

MocRATs, but their associations, opinions, and
oourse have identified them with the WINGS.

{ from South Alabama Colonel King is from one
section of the State. The Democratic party is
satisfied with him-proud Of him. The Democ-
racy of the State and the Southern Rights party
demand that his associate shall be equally safe,
sound, and trustworthy shall be true to the
South, her rights, and institutions. They have
no confidence in Colonel Clemens. His vio-
| lent, erratic, and inconsistent course in the
Senate, has satisfied them, if they required
any proof of the fact, that he is not qualified
to represent the dignity and wisdom of the State
in the Senate Of the United States. This coalition
with the Vino party reminds us of the recent
coalition of Seward and FILLMORE. Honest men
cannot sanction such political prohigacy. The
