fof Georgia can neither rely upon cooperation
from Alabama or Mississippi, or upon the adhe
sion OF its own members at home, the question
has presented itself to the majority OF that par
ty-WSat shall we do to make our principles
felt and acknowledged in the approaching Pres
idcntial election! Shall we fold our hands and
permit Millsrd Fillmore, who fully and truly
represent these principles, to be slaughtered in
the national convention Of the Wing party,
when We may vindcate the justice of the COM
promise, and secure an acknowledgement of it,
rs final settlement, and an endorsement of the
executive, who has made this settlement the
prominent issue of his administrator? These
are the questions upon which many good Union
men throughout the State have pondered long
of late. The following communication is the
expression Of the determination to which many
of them have come. We commend it to the Sc
rious conside alton of our readers.
"'We would respectfully suggest to our friends
who may chose to act upon it, to assemble in
primary meetings, and appoint delegates to a
State, instead Of district convention. This is
the most expeditions mode. The second Tues
day in June would be proper time for the
meeting of State convention. Whatever is
done, must be quickly done'"

ave have no doubt that Preston King, Ran
tout. and the host of Democratic Freesoilers OF
the N orth, would be- delighted were the South
disposed to accept the old Baltimore platform.
Such an act would not only ease their conscien-
ces, but give them ample scope and verge
enough for renewed and incessant agitation.
But Southern Democracy will do no such thing.
Even in the paltry and narrow view of party
success, the Democrats of the South know that
an inhexble adher zee to the compromise is a
sine qua non of siatory in the siave-holding
States and when principle and interest both
harmonic, it is hardly to be presumed that any
other course will be pursued.
ave think it highly probable that the Demo
cratic National convention will endorse the
compromise If it should fail therein, and the
Wings are wise enough to do what their oppo-
nent have undone, we wouldn't give plug OF
tobacco for the chance Of the Democracy in the
South, at the Presidential election"
"The wish is father to the thought" with The
Bee, as far as its own party is concerned-and
its object doubtless is to force the Wing party
into the endorsement by first coaxng the Demo
cratic party to it. In view then of the perilous
absurdty which the platitudes of the Union en-
BODY we would advise the ancient organizers
to drop fgurative expressions, and speak plain
English. Dephic oracles don't do at this mo-

consistent counsel, fair statement of facts, not
riddles or rigmarol. They have difficult piece
of navigation to perform. They cannot accom-

which the Constitution required, and when Con.

: "MR. WEBSTER IN FANEuIL HALL.-Tht
speech of Mr.. Webster will be found to day il
our columns. The scene in Faneuil Hall wheI
the great statesman appeared before the audi
ence was beautiful and grand 1t was LITERAL,
filed with human beings, the floor being closely
packed by the men, while goodly representa-
ton of the sex graced the galleries. He was
received with immense cheering. 1t was worth
while to look upon the man and the occasion
There was the same majestic form, the same
graceful action, and now and then in word OF
sentence might be heard a specimen Of the
clear, ringing voice, of the orator of other times
but for the most part, what was uttered was moi
heard beyond few feet of the platform. Mr.
Webster wisely di not attempt, so soon af,cr
his recent accident, to tax his physical strength
so as successfully to compete with the hot ali
within and the continual noise of the rafting OF
carriages without and make himself understood
by the thousands who had assembled to hear
him, His speech is tiibute to the patriotism
of the men of former days. the prosperity that
has flowed from their labors, and the renown OF
the Boston of to-day"

didate, not more than seven will be cast for Mr.
Fillmore. Whatever view may be taken of the
reasons for such a result, the fact itself is one
which challenges respectful attention. New
York is Mr.. Filmore's native State, and had
been the field of his poll ical career, until his
election as Vice President, by the vote of New
York, transferred him to wider scenes lie had
always enjoyed to good degree the confidence
of her people, and been steadily advanced by
their suftrages, from one step to another, il
political position and power His name, in I848,
gave strength even to General Taylor's ticket,
and in other Northern States, as well as his
own, brought to a Southern Presidential candi
date the substantial support of thousands, who
regarded it as a guarantee that the North, as
well as the South, should receive equal and ex
act justice at the hands of the national admins
tration.
"Lcss than four years have since elapsed and
yet four ftths OF the Wings of the State have
now declared, in the most emphatic and unmis-
takeable manner, their preference for some other
candidate"

WAR EXCITEMENT AT MATAMoRAs.-Th
greatest excitement prevailed among the Mexi
cans Mt Matamoras at the last accounts, in con-
sequence of a report from the capital that Mr.
Letcher, the American minister, had required
that the Tehuantepcc company should be in
demnihed for all losses. or else he would de-
mand his passports. 1t was also rumored that
Mr. Webster had instructed the president OF
the Tehuantepec company, Mr. Benjamin, to
proceed with the work and the United States
government would sustain him, and that naval
force had been sent thther for that purpose
The Mexicans, of course, were very warlike on
hearing of these rumors, and rejoiced in the ides
OF having another chance to thrash the Amer
cans.

Mr. CLIEGMAN's resolution:
"MR. CLIsGMAN or NORTH CARoLISA-We
publish in another column the report of the
remarks made, and the resolutions prepared to
be offered by Mr.. Clingman, of North Carolina
at the Wing caucus at Washington. We have
already, in previous numbers, stated the reasons
which influenced us in opposing the introduce
ton ct all resolutions, in relation to the Com.
promise, in the Baltimore convention We
have nothing nov to add to these objections.
Our object now is simply to refer to the resolu,
tons OF MIR. Clingman as altogether the most
sensible and least Objectionable we have yet seen
proposed. II the Compromise is alluded to in
any manner, in the Baltimore convention, il
must be as a ground of settlement between
different sections, and not as a cannon Of polili-
cal faith among Democrats. So far as the South
is concerned, the only part of the convention
in which she is interested, aud which is not al
ready fnality, is the Fugitive slave law. The
whole affair, then, as it now stands, resolves it
self into the maintenance and enforcement of
that law; and no vague generalities such as were
huddled together in Jackson and Hillyer's reso.
lutions, should satisfy those who really think
'hat there is any virtue at all in these resou-
tons. Ii, therefore, it is insisted that such res
olutions ought to be adopted, we agree with
Mr. Chngman that they should be specific, and
so closely indicate the end to be accomplished,
as to preclude the possibility of all mistakes
hereafter.
