The constitutional Union party OF Georgia organ
lied mainain the decision OF the Georgia convention of
1880 in favor OF the naliy OF the Compromise That
ect has been accomplished, and tho membesof party
have the satisfaction Of realizing the complete rum OH
of their principles exhibited in tho scon OF tho two
national conventions which recently assembled Da-
more. and in the sdditiona fact that hoe exists in
Georgia organized opposition to those principles I'm
der these circumstances, when the late Union
assembled in Miedgevile, IL the opinion of large
number Of that body that tho lime had arrived when
should be peaceful dissolution of the party consdea-
lion OF the fact that the necessity for its existence longer
continued. different policy however was adopted un.
der the densve hope that the organization could con-
nued and its integrity preserved by the support Of the
democratic nominees for President and Vice President.
The convention had scarcely adjourned, when damonsa
lions Of opposition to It's action, by the estre Union whg
press of the State, indicated clearly por-
tion of the parry whose sentiments and feelings
made known through these channels irreconca-
bly, opposed to the decision Of tho convention, and
would yield acquiescence in its
lion. The call for the conventions OF the l7h and 18th,
and the response made those calls by the Union whgs
throughout the Sa,e and in portions Of tho State
approximang unanimy of sentiment among them,
well calculated TO prepare the public mind for The
cent action OF those bodies cannot be disguised

themselves from the Union and have laid
foundation for the reorganization of the whg party in

Union party in the hands of the Union democracy aud
those Union wings who determined give their votes
and support the national democratic nominees Whether

its original members, 10 problem we will attempt o
solve. The expression Of doubt upon that point
sufficient 10 justify the have felt duty
pursue in the matter.
The undersigned appointed executive commit

have been nattenve observers Of the 10 which
we have called the public attention nor have we
aied inform ourselves, far practicable, of
views and opinions Of those who still remain
OF the Union party Ia view OF these facts with
the aid Of all the ahs at our command, we have
the deliberate conclusion that the constitutional Union
party is virtually and practically dissolved, and that its
longer continuance would be delusive and productive of
no good. @ 7
