From the AUGUSTA (Ga.) Chronicle and Sentinel
Georgia Union Party.

AT a called meeting of the Constitutions
Union party of Troup county, Maj Alexander
Speer was called to the chair, and VIM. +. Fan
min requested to act as secretary.
Judge Hill made few appropriate remarks
recommending the party to eschew all alliance
and to retain it's separate and distinct organza-
ton
On motion, Hon. E. Y. Hill, DR.. r. A. II.
Ridley, r. G. Terrell, A. b. Fannin, ]. Hogg
James Lovelace, and Samuel Reid, esqs., were
appointed select committee to prepare bust
ness for the action of the meeting. Judge Hill,
on the part Of the committee, reported the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Whereas in the month of December, 1850
the people of Georgia, wi b unprecedented
unanimity in convention assembled, passed res
olutons obterating the ancient landmarks of
national Wing and Democratic parties, and
agreed to cooperate with all men ofall parties
and of all sections who were disposed to make
the preservation of our much loved Union the
equality of civil rights in all the States, and the
fiuality of the compromise measures the basis of
their future political action and ,ohereas no
subsequent developments have given us assur-
ance that we may with safety rely upon either
party of the old organization for the mainten
ance of our views then fully expressed and still
wildly entertained and devOtedly cherished
but we, being warned that our peculiar insti!u
tons Of the South can find security only in an
amaIgamation of the sound parts of the people
of the American Union acting together for
good, and ia opposition to the disturbers of pub
lie and domestic harmony:
| Therefore, resolved, That the EFFICIENCY which
called the Constitutional Union party into ex-
istence ought still to control our political move
ments, and that it's influence is still felt and
acknowledged in all it's force; that we, as a
portion of that party, in the declaration of our
creed then claimed to be in earnest and have
discovered no reason why even our enemies
should now treat it as child's play.
RESOLVED, That we approve Of the present ad-
ministration of the government Of the United
States not exclusively as Wing administers
ton, but as Compromise, Constitutional Union
administration, based upon those principles
which formed the Union as ii ,oas, satisfies us
with it as IS and can alone preserve it, as we
pray God it may ever remain, formidable to
tyrants only" and, therefore, that we should
be ungrateful not to express our abiding conf.
dence in every member Of that administration
who has done his whole duty in the enforcement
of municipal law.
ReSolred That fanatics and Abotionists, in
or out of convention, are our sworn and uncom.
concerned, were we to unite with either Of the
contemplated conventions of the obsolete parties,
we should disgrace ourselves and dscredit our
cause in the support of which we desire neither
the counsel nor assistance of the traitor, whose
half concealed dagger flashes terror to the eye
while his hypocritical lips whisper peace and
friendship to the ear.
| RESOLVED, That we invite the constitutional
Union friends of our whole country to act in
concert with US in the support of some honest
man whose policy will preserve us in our pre-
sent relation of brothers and friends but that
we must be allowed TO make our election ppou
satisfactory evidence of his political orthodoxy
Resolped That after the action of the contem
plated convention of the Wing and Democratic
parties, respectively, shall be fully known to the
people at large, We stand rendy to meet in con
venton with the conservatives Of the United
States for the purpose of securing President
and Vice President who truly represent and will
faithfully carry out our cardinal principle---tht
Union of our whole country, the equality of ouI
rights, East, West, North, and South.
RESOLVED, finally, That we may not be misun
derstood, we here again declare and affirm oul
faithful adherence to the series Of acts passed by
the last Congress known as the compromise
measures; that we regard them as fnaity to
the agitation of the slavery question and thai
we will not act or affiliate with any party a lead
ing and cardinal principle of whose creed is not
a due and honest observance and faithful execu
ton of those measures, particularly the tnsitip
! Stare ld,D.
All Of which was unanimously adopted.
From the Cleveland Ohio True Democrat.
