he died was quite recent, he has, we learn,
been in Indifferent health for some months past.
1t is but four brief weeks since Mr.. f. adverted
to the death of his colleague, Mr.. RANroUL, on
the floor of the House of Representatives, and
his address on that occasion seems to have been
prophetic of the similar fate which was so soon
to overtake him, and which he contemplated
with the calm hope and resignation of the
Christian. His remains left the city Yesterday
afternoon in charge Of clerk Of the House of

The True Issue.


The Milledgeville (Ga.) Recorder, which
supports the WEBSTER and JENKINS ticket,
contains the following conciliatory and sensible
article:
The CANpIDATEs.-Witht the choice before them,
either Of Daniel Webster General Scott, can
there be moments hesitation, on the part Of the
majority of the voters of Georgia, whether they
will prefer the the other of these eminent
men to the Democratic candidate, Gen. Pierce?
We would, if we know ourselves, do no injustice
to the Democratic candidate. We would freely
award him all the greatness and all the merits
that justly belong to him as public man. But it
would be the merest afecation of liberality to at
tempt to place General Pierce on the same plat
form with either of his competitors, either in re-
gard TO the public services rendered by the latter,
in regard to the qualifications for further useful
ness to the country, which these services signal
y manifest in behalf of both his distinguished op-
ponents. Whilst on the one hand the men nomi-
mated against General Pierce are two of the most
eminent names that this or any other country has
furnished to history, it is disparage ment to
General Pierce to say, that 80 undistinguished has
been bis public life that his nomination was mat
ter of as much surprise to his political friends gen
orally as to his political opponents We believe in
all honesty, with our respected correspondent in
another column, that had it been left TO the unbi-
| ased vote of the Democracy of Georgia, General
Pierce would not have received hundred votes in
the State.
On the score of distinguished public services then,
| as well ss on the ground Of eminent mental quail
ficatons, we presume there be but one opinion
among the people of Georgia, whether of one party
or the other. The Wing candidates in both
ways eminently distinguished, honorably alike to
themselves and to our common country.
General Pierce, have doubt, ia a clever
man and gentleman; but, os we think must be
admitted by his warmest advocates he has yet to
show his capacity to make for himself an illus
trous name. If he is possessed Of qualifications for
the Chief Nlagistracy OF this great Republic, be-
yond those Of thousands and tens of thousa nds of
his fellow citizens, he has yet to furnish the evil
dence Of the fact. AT all events, there can, we
think, be but one opinion in regard to the relative
personal merits of the candidates, in regard to
the public services rendered by them. On these
points there is but side; and that is the side on
which rests the Wing nominees
So much for the candidates. How stands the
case regards the political platforms which these
candidates are pledged to carry out' OF this we
shall have occasion chiefly to speak in the present
campaign; and shall endravor in this behalf TO
perform, to the utmost OF our ability our whole
du.y

A. H. STEPHENS said at Crawfordsville, in his

which Gen. Pierce nominated, was composed

matter of much surprise that all the abest and best

aside, while some unknown, unexpected, but
thought to be available individual, should be taken
up the instrument of the party. The result is
known. gentleman nominated, and was
now a prominent candidate for the first office in
the world, who was unknown to nine-tenths of the
American people, and whose public services did
not entitle him to the position. Mr.. Stephens
would cay nothing in disparagement OF General
Pierce. As far as he knew, he was a man of fair
ability, lawyer Of some eminence in his own
State, and that was all that could be said of him.
He had never given the country any evidence of
the possession of those high qualities or that long
experience in public aft IRIS which should entitle
man to be placed in the high and responsible Office
of Chief Magistrate of this great Republic. He had
nothing to expect from the election of General
Pierce, except the bringing into power of a class
of men whose principles would be hostile to the
true interests Of the people. He feared that the
advocates of Kossuth, Intervention and Young
America progress, would lead the country to war
and destruction, under the banner Of that party"

was this: al am Democrat but can never say or

1t seems to be the principle of the Democratic
organs never to correct any falsehood they have
put forth. Are they positively determined that
they will not correct their statement in relation to
the alleged conversations between Mr. Clay upon
his death bed and his son? Are they determined
that they will not correct their statement in regard
to the pretended pledge of General Scott to Mr.
Wade to cut of his right arm rather than support
slavery? Are they determined that they will not
correct their statement in regard to that "thrilng
dialogue" alleged to have taken place between
General Pierce and Mr. Hale?- Louisville Journal
