Or The Republic advises all who desire to
understand the precise import and significance Of
the mad-dog cry of Abolition against Gen. Scott, to
Iecur to the newspapers of 1910, and review the
war that was waged against Gen. Harrison. Then
let Them run their eyes over the proceedings Of the
Buffalo Convention, and of the Nashville Conven-
tion and the speeches of the leading supporters of
Gen. Pierce before the people and in Congress for
the last few years. On full review of all these
matters, We cannot, says the Republic, but think
that on all questions which concern the peace and
prosperity OF the Union, they win be persuaded
shat true patriotisms and conservatism and love OF
the Union, require of them TO work and vote for
the man who is ''dead for the Union-dead for the
Constitution-dead for the Compromise-an@ dead
against any man who is opposed to them, or either
OF them"

Mr.. WESTERN, the Democratic correspond
ent of the Baltimore Sun, says:
Whatever rumors may still be afloat as to Mr..
Webster's running as separate candidate my o.
pinion is he will do no such thing. He viii oc-
cupy towards Gen. Scott precisely the same posi-
ton which he occupied in regard to Gen. Taylor
but he will not lend his name to any separate
wing organization. 1t is quite clear that no third
party can be formed out of seeding Wings and
Democrats, and Wing seceders, unwilling to vote
for Gen. Pierce. have all room in moderately siz-
ed omnibus. There is not so much election to the
vehicle, as to the everlasting travelling backward

GEORGIA PoLrIcs.-The Savannah Republican
of the 24th, received yesterday, contains tele-
graphic despatch from Macon announcing that the
Executive Committee Of the Union Party had is
sued circular Withdrawing their electoral ticket
and calling meeting of the Union Wings and
Democrats to be held at Atlanta OH the 18th of
September to determine on the course to be pursu-
ed. The ticket which has thus been withdrawn
was nominated by the Union Constitutional Con-
Sentioa after it had declared for the Democratic
nominees, Pierce and King, and after large por
lion OF the original members of the Convention had
withdrawn, disguised at the course pursued by
Gov. Cobb and the other leading members of the
so-called Union party. There are still three cleo
toral tickets nominated in that State-the regular
Wing ticket for Scott and Graham; the third par
ty ticket put forward by the Convention which
nominated Webster and Jenkins, and the regular
Democratic ticket for Pierce and King. The diff
ferenceS of opinion which have heretofore divided
the Wing party of the State and prevented their
uniting in support of the nominees of the party
seem to be gradually disappearing, and though the
prospect at this time is certainly none of the bright
est, yet we do not entirely despair of Georgia re-
Stunning her position among the Wing States of the
Union and casting her vote for Scott and Graham.

UTAH.-The Washington correspondent of the
N. Y. Courier furnishes the following information
in relation to the judicial appointments for this ter
ritory:
The President yesterday withdrew the nomina-
ton of Orsen Hyde as one of the Judges of the
Territorial Court of Utah. The nomination of Mr..
Fl. has been before the Senate since the 18th of
MAY last. Hyde is a Mormon and polygamist,
and is not lawyer. Judge Stokeley, of Ohio, who
was nominated and confirmed as member of this
Court, Chief JustceI believe, is reported to have
declined the appointment. Mr.. Snow, who is now
the only acting Judge, is Mormon, and as such,
acceptable to the people of the territory 1t is no
longer denied that the Mormon people are poly
galaistS They have admitted the fact in official
COMMUNICATIONS through the elders. Our relations
with these fanatics are likely to occasion much
trouble. Early in May the Secretary of State in
formed the two Judges and Secretary of the Treas
ury, who had returned to Washington, that unless
they forthwith repaired to Utah and entered upon
the discharge of their official duties, successors
would be appointed, They all declined except up
on the condition that Brigham Young should be
removed, and new nominations were made accord
| ingly Judge Brocchus has issued well written
stateItent giving his reasons for the course pursu
ed by him and very clearly showing that no officer
of the United States can execute the laws and full
| fill his duties in Utah, while the place of chief
magistrate is filled by person of Young's charac-
ter He proves, also, that the design Of the Nor
mons is to build up an independent State, and that
they only delay to throw off the authority of the
United States until such time as they shall feel
better assured of IMMUNITY than TREY now do.

That Vote.

The only apology attempted BY the Democracy
for that vote of Gen. PIERCE, refusing, to allow a
citizen of Virginia to remove two family servants
into the District of Columbia, Mr.. LEAKE most
discreety omitted to alude to thematter in his re-
cent speech at this place, although his attention
was called to it by Mr.. MAUPIN, is, that it was
in accordance with law of Maryland which had
been passed expressly to prevent reduction in the
value of slave property" The supreme absurdity
of the excuse is manifest from the fact that all the
Maryland delegates voted for the bill. Among the
yeas is the name Of WILLARD FILLMORE and ev-
Iery Southern member, except JOHN BLAIR, of
South Carolina or Tennessee; and among the nays
is the maine of FRANKLIN PIERCE and euery .Abo-
hsionia sa the House Of Representatives. 1t ap-
pears from the following extract from the Congress
sional Globe that the bill was not passed hastily
Gen. PIERCE had ample time to consider the mat
ter, and deliberately chose to vote with the Adolf
tonists against the South. The Globe of June
18th, 1884, says
''The rest of the day was consumed in consid-
ering and passing bill for the relief of Edmund
Brooke OF Georgetown, 10 enaOle MIN W ofihg TWO
negro boys into the District, after the time restrict
ed by law had expired, that they might be in his
family with their mother, instead Of being sold to
negro-dealers. -
CATER repeated motions to postpone the bill in
definitely, to day certain, and to lay it on the
table, and after debate Of the character ,chich al
,rays occurs phera the subject Of Slavery is touched
III the House, the bill was passed by yeas and nays,
LOG to A."
The Richmond Wing [hope tie Attorney of the
Vidicaor will pardon us for referring to this "par
tizah hack" points out to the staunch champions
of our peculiar institution drop of comfort in the
above. They may prove from it that PIERCE is
an ultra slavery man. He wished the boys ''sold
to negrodealers," for the purpose no doubt of en-
couraging "the trade'' Suppose they try that
hook:
