Gov. COBB AND THE DEMoCRACY.--GOverno

politically. First, there was the speech OF Chas-
tain, which if not actually written by the COVER
nor, was, as all the world knows, in accordance
with his views and doubtless prompted by him
But if this lei. any doubt in the minds OF his
Wing supporters in Georgia, his speech before
the Srchems" Of Democracy at Tammany
Hall, in New York, must remove them. We
regret that we have not room this week to give
that speech The following extract from the

at has been alleged (says the Richmond
Enquirer that Gov Cobb, of Georgia, would
not affiliate with the Democratic party, but
would adhere to the "Union" organization, OF
act with the Wing party. We are happy to
see, from his speech in Tammany Hall, New
York, that there is no foundation for such be-
lief In that speech he said
"The convention of the Democrats of the
country will soon assemble at Baltimore
Much has been said of the candidates, and we
all have our personal preferences have mine
will not say tonight, what they are, but will
tell you what we look to in the South We
look more to principles than to the names OF
men, Grand Sachem--Give US the principles
of 1914 and l848. Yes, and all other princi-
Piles that you are moi ashamed or afraid to avow
Therefore affirm the fnalty and faithful enforce
ment of the compromise, illustrative as it is OF
those Democratic principles 80 often proclaimed
by the Democracy. When these principles are
laid down, then put up your candidate, and the
Democracy will stand by him in New York, and
will stand by him in Georgia, and there will be
one triumphant chain of success from North to
South"
This, and other Indications, satisfy us, (says
the Richmond Enquirer) that the Union De-
mocracy of the South will ultimately return to
the support of the Democratic cause and princi-
plea; and that the leaders of Union" Wings
will, in spite of their past protestations, finally
sustain the Wing nominee--even Gen. Scott
They will not be able, however, to carry all the
rank and file of their party with them"

many very Mandatory of other port ons of Gov
Cobb's address, preserved an omnous silence
when he spoke of other principles" than those
of 1874 and l848. They manifested no dispo-
sition whatever, to join the governor in his cru
SADIE against the anticompromise Democrats OF
the South"
We would give n quarter and seven pence
to see the faces of certain old Wing +" sachems'
in this region, who, few months ago. assured us
that Gov. Cobb had joined or would act with
the Wing party!

The kind that we have yet seen surpasses the
following, which is now going the rounds Of a
certain class of newspapers
When Ko suth was going up the Mississippi
on the Emf error, most tremendous thunder
storm compelled the boat to lie to all night.
Kossuth is said to have expressed himself high.

thunder-storms were on as magnificent a scale
as our receptions.
1t is quite awful to think how much the
reputation of American thunder would have
suffered, had it pleased Mr.. Kossuth mol to have
been "highly delighted" We shall look with
musketoes and yellow fever, when he gets to
New Orleans.

We commend to the special notice Of the
members of the late secession party, and es.
pecaly to the Democratish portion of them, the
following opinion of the Washington Union of
the 9th ult.:
"No dispassionate mind will suppose that the
Democratic par.J of this Union can ever con-
s.der those 50 renegades from it's service who
reused to sanction 'he ultra schemes of the
Southern convention: and yet such would seem
to be the expectation of those who assail with
out measure the men who did not become par

the day previous, the mail train on the Georgia

though the track was burnt in several places,
within the space of mile, it has been already
repaired, and the trains will make their regular

company had two cars freighted with goods,

not now be ascertained.
