OF GEORGIA.
The same journal has strong article on the pro-
ceedings Of the Webster convention, and their ad.

Gates the right, rs well as the expedcncy, Of the
Union wings taking this course, and congratulates
them their strength and decision in holding firm
against the threats and frowns Of wing leaders in
the Scott interest and the attacks Of the Scott pa.
pers, which have utterly failed to put them down.
In reference to the principle contemporary
says
Two Thugs may be learned from wha, has now hap.
people and bis popularity with the masses have been
grossly unloratd by the politicians Of the whig party
The other Is that Whom an attempt made 70 force peo

ground that they bound TO do So in consequence offs

question they sometimes forced t. learn that diff
fertnt view OF what constitutes principle may very no
Mostly be taken ~ very honest persons.
Sc, then, it seems that the Union wings are nei-
ther to be caioled nor forcod-neithor led nor
driyen--into the support Of SCOTS nomination.
They have principles to maintain as well as the
scottites, and they have as good right 10 stand
by them. As to the expediency Of the matter, the
Copaicr reasons as follows, in reply to the .Iiper-

answer why they should not assert their principles
Thus does the movement Of the Union wings 90
forward in Massachusetts, IL viii soon assume an
equally commanding position here; and whatever
slight chance, amounting TO mere forlorn hope,
the supporters Of General Scott could hitherto cal
culate upon in the Empire state, i. will be demon.
s.rated in very short time thai his fortunes arc
really desperate in this State and not peg will

In the beginning of this agitation it was suggested
I that il was mere sham, and had no yitslity-an

side like bottle Of soda water. Time has proved
| the very reverse. The movement has been SLOW
and cautious, but sure and now 1t hes made such
progress that it cannot be suppressed either by
force or fraud. In the North ard the soush--in
Massachusetts, and 6eoreia--Mf Webster haa lcsn
nominated. In New York the example will be FOL
lowed, and probably in North Carolina. The
