THE GEORGIA CONSTITUTIONAL UNION PARTY.

We perceive from the Augusta Chronicle that
!" large and very respectable portion Of the Consti

assembled at the City Hall, Augusta, on Tuesday
afternoon for the purpose Of appointing delegates to
the Convention to be held at Milledgevle on the
22d instant PORTER FLEMING, Esq. presided, and
JAMES G. COLLIER acted as Secretary. After an
interesting discussion between the Hon. ANDREW
j. MILLER and the Hon CHARLES j. JENKINS, the
following resolutions brought forward by the latter
gentleman were adopted by large majority, in
lieu Of series proposed by Mr.. MILLER;
Resoloed, l. That we regard the Constitutional Union
party of Georgia. organization formed irrespective
pre-exstng party issues for the maintenance Of the
principles announced by the State Convention assembled
by authority Of law at Medgevile, in December lS5O
we re-assert our adherence to those principles.
Resolved 2. That deem the representation of that
party in either Of the two proposed National
nexpedient under existing circumstances and incompa
tible with its position before the country.

A LITTLE TOO FAsT.-The Democratic party ap-
pears to be split into two factions the "Od Fogies
and q Young America" and the war between them
is very fierce. The aOld Fogy" wraps himself up
in the dreams of the past and has no idea that the
world has advanced any in the last half century.
Young America is a fogy Of another stamp, who,
in his eagerness to progress" into the future, runs
very great danger of overlooking those essential
principles of honesty and virtue which belong to all
ages, and which lie at the very foundation Of all
national greatness. Hence he is likely to do more
mischief by his overhaste than the other by his
slow progression. One of this fast party in Ar
kansas says:
with Douglas and Cuba inscribed upon out party flag,
los in 1914 we had Polk, Dallas, and Texas cannot
be mistaken anticipating that not success merely but
triumph alike brilliant and valuable in all that give
value to party triumph will reward our exertions"
We do not know what, in the eye of partisan,
gives value to party triumph" unless it be the
spoils and with such an open ayowal Of hlibuster-
ism as political principle, we should think there
would be no scruples in sharing them, even if ac-
quired by piratica aggressions on neighboring ma
tons Some little show of decency and honesty
is needed however, in politics; and there are
few of any party who would rally under any ban
ner with such thieving motto inscribed upon it.

TerE FOR CONVENTION IN LoUIsIANA-Gur
renders have been apprzed that ayote was taken on
Monday last thr oughout the State Of Louisiana on
Che question Of calling Convention to remodel the
State Constitution The vote in New Orleans, as
we are informed through the Telegraph, was nearly
unanimous, viz 5000 in favor Of the measure and
ITO .ssainsi it 1t is very rare y witness such
unaninity in the popular sentiment On any public
question.
One Of the oldest arguments, to our conception, IN
favor Of revision Of the Constitution and which is
usged by one Of the Conservative journals Of New Or
leans 100 is to secure the Independence of the Judci-
ary Big giving the choice Of Judges to the people, in
sstead Of their being appointed, as at present, by
the Executive Of the State This change, extend
ing itself from one State to another, is, we ap-
prehend, gradually loosening the framework OF our
institutions.
