The Republic makes direct response to our inquiry
But in lis leading editorial column gives the following
article, which may, presume be taken as an answer
plain enough for all practical purposes, though implied
rather than openly expressed

The appearance OF this article at this time, and under
these circumstances in the special organ OF President
Fillmore, noting the independent Fillmore movement
among the wings OF Georgia, without word OF censure
dissent must undoubtedly till the contrary appears, be
taken evidence that such action against the whg or
ganization controlled, is not discountenanced by
the wing Executive.
