Important Presidential Movement.
At the request Of the writer leading and high
| ly respectable gentleman of middle Georgia, We
lay before the reader the following communica-
ton in regard to the Presidency, leaving it to the
people to take such action in the matter as they
sec proper.
The late Union Convention of this State deter
mined to take no action for the present in relation
TO the Presidential question, but adjourned over to
| day subsequent to the time fixed for the Wing
and Democratic parties TO make their nominations.
few members Of the convention and others held
| an "outside" or supplemental meeting. and APP
pointed delegates to the Baltimore Democratic
Convention, for the purpose OF seeing what they
| could do towards securing an acceptable candi-
date to the Union party and to the South. 1t is
with this view, and upon this ground, we pre-
sumo, that the "fricnds of Mr.. FILLMORE" are now
invited to send delegates 10 the Baltimore Wing
Convention. Our position is that OF the Union
Convention Of this State; but, as we neither con-
demned nor approved the "outside movement" at
Nillodgevie, We do not feel ourselves called ON to
pronounce upon the new movement in behalf Of
Mr.. Fillmore
The writer Of the communication proposes that
gatcs TO the convention at Baltimore on the 10th
Of june" If womay be permitted to make sug-
gestion, it strikes that feasible and cer-
tain plan would be TO call meeting at Macon, or
some other central point of those who approve Of
the movement, and leave il TO them to appoint the
delegates.
The following is the communication alluded to:
WHAT WILL GEORGIA DO?
Ma. FILLMORE AND raE COMPROMISE MEASURES
vs. GENERAL SCoTT, SEwARD, AND THE FREE.
oILERs.-The belief has been frequently expressed
lately, that if oil the Southern States would send
delegates to the Wing Convention to be held in
Baltimore the 10th day of next June, there
tanty-that Mr.. Fillmore would be nominated as
candidate for the Presidency. There is no
doubt that large portion, if not majority of the
people OF Georgia, are in favor OF his nomination,
and it 10 right and proper that they should be repre-
sensed at Baltimore, that their preference may be
expressed.
Perhaps it is too late to call State
of the friends OF MIR. Fillmore to appoint delegates,
but there is yet time to hold Congressional District
Conventions, and each Congressional district can
appoint its own delegation, to consist of one or
more persons, may be thought proper.
1t is proposed, then, that each Congressional
district appoint delegates to the convention at Bal
tmore ON the 10Th OF June next. There is yet time
to do IT, if each district will move at once and call
n convention.
To this course Of the friends Of Mr. Fillmore no
ono can properly object. They simply claim the
right which belongs 10 every freeman of coun
try--thc right to indicate whom they prefer as n
candidate for the Presidency. II is proposed and
intended that the delegates be sent instructed for
Fillmore and the Compromise measures, and if
theee be oversaughed in the convention. then to
retire. MANY VorERs
