"Under these circumstances, we are driven to
the conclusion, that large majority Of the Demo-
cratic party of Georgia either Secessionists in
principle. or are controlled by them"
On the other hand, the Macon Goa. Journal
asserts that the Southern Rights party can re-
alize none of the advantages of victory without
an unconditional surrender of their distinctive
principles:
Zone fact is apparent from the result OF the cleo
tion in Georgia, and that is, that the Southern
Rights party, which has majority over all others,
is yet in a minority in the State. 1t has failed to
receive by several thousands the vote which
given to it's candidate for Governor, who was
beaten by eighteen thousand votes. Thirty thou
sand voters in Georgia did not exercise their cleo
tive franchise at the recent election. There are
probably but few in this number who would have
voted the Southern Rights ticket. The result,
therefore, does not indicate that the Southern
Rights Democracy control the State, but that,
on the contrary, they are in the minority
and doomed to defeat whenever the entire vote
Of the State is polled. Nothing can secure them
power in Georgia but timely, complete and
undisguised surrender Of the principles upon
which the party was formed. It's press demands
representation in the Cabinet Of General Pierce,
and threatens him with desertion ii he eevates to
offlce Southern Democrat who are not ldentlned
with them. They do not seem to know or feel that
the election Of Pierce has pounded their party
to dust, and that they will be compelled to sup.
port administration antagonistic to every idea
and sentiment they entertain, or to fall back into
their original position of isolation as an ultra
Southern party. They may have representation
in the Cabinet of Pierce. They can have no infiu
ence in haping the policy of the administration.
They may get Cabinet officer a foreign min
ster but they must receive these small favors with
policy which repudiates their principles and
defeats their objects.
The controversy, though most violentin Geor-
gia. is carried on by the two sections in Ala
bama and Mississippi with an earnestness that
betokens their appreciation of the prizes at
stake. The Montgomery (Ala.) Register de-
clares that there consistent Union men" are
"under the ban-denounced and proscrbed;"
and the Jackson (Miss.) Flag Of the Union
AYERS that the Mississippi Secessionists are still
striving to secure the supremacy of principles
which the people Of the State have specifically
repudated.

Union and Southern Rights Democracy
Tho War Renewed.


Southern Democracy, though victorious, is
not consolidated or peaceful. Success has not
healed its dissensons, or mi,igated the hostility
with which conflicting elements have long
waged war upon each other. The greater bat
tie for the moment absorbed attention; but that
ended and all the minor contests have been re
newed with bitterness to which the triumphs
of the party seem to have added yet more in
tensity. Before, the struggle related mainly
to principles. Now, the temptations of power
serve yet further to complcate it. and to Gre
ate a stimulus previously unfelt.
We do not propose to enter into the mnu-
tie of the difficulties, or to discuss the con-
siderations they suggest; but we may usefully,
perhaps, lay before our readers the means of
determining the character and force Of the
points at issue.
The Columbus ga. Ifmes-Mr. FoRsyTH's
journal-regarda the result of the election in
that State as proof of the subjugation of the
Union Democrats. Noticing their organs, it
says:
They have received a lesson as wholesome as
it was deserved, and we have now reason to con-
graduate ourselves that the Democratic party did
not yield to the arrogant demands Of this faction
to undo all that il had done legtimately and ac
cordng to the established forms and usages of the
party, take down it's ticket and commence de nors.
in order to crafty the spleen and let in at the
head of the party few ambitious and factious
spirits. IL the Democratic party had not stood
resolute and firm, the thin popular vote would
have been appealed to, to prove that without their
votes Georgia could not have been carried for
Pierce and King. As is, these gentlemen get
the State by a handsome majority Of the popular
vote, and thanks to the Tugaioos."
The Athens (Ga.) Banner-one of the pro
scribed-concedes that the Southern Rights
wing has proved itself able to control the Dem
ocratic organization there. 1t presents the fac,
thus:
"Candor compeis us to admit that of the fifty
thousand Democrats of the State the seGsssiapists
either number control about thirty thousand.
Our estimate 10 taken from the vote of Cobb and
Mcdonald last year. OF the 50 s24 votes received
by the latter, there probably thirty thousand

twenty thousand Democrats proper. The whole
number of votes then 81, 22I; and from the vote
Ex-Governor Towns, and the gradual increase nat.
orally going on in the old Democratic ranks, It ID
fair to presume that fifty out Of the ninety ss
thousand were Democ rats. Although no positive
accession to their wing of the party can be inferred
from the result Of the late election. yet the fact
s,ares us in the face that they have elected their
own exclusive electoral ticket put forth under their
own organization, Notwithstanding a formal de-
lnand was made by representatives Of the Union
wing at Atlanta, and coldly and even contemptu-
Ously refused by the opposite division.

Judge Douglass Plan OF Tonnage Dut

Judge Douglass Plan OF Tonnage Duties
Judge DOUGLASS pet proposition meets with
little favor in the West. We have yet to see
paper of any character or influence on either
side in that section which has ventured to pro-
nounce an opinion in its favor. The St. Loui.
DaiIy Democrat of late date devotss large
space to its examination, and condemns it with
out reservation as of qualification origin" and
most perilous tendency. Having recapitulated
the points of the plan, the Democrat remarks:
From this it is seen that not only States but
cities to have this power Of internal taxation,
and also compacts among the States. in plain vio-
laton of the Constitution. or course all these cue
tom-houses would be supplied with forts and can
TO compel the stoppage and obedience of the
boats; also with cutters, and host of
enue officers to hunt out and detect smugglers; 30
that the different States of this Union would be-
come what the German cities and provinces were
towards each other, and an account Of which Mr..
Smith appended to his speech-the relief from
which by the Congress Of Vienna considered
release from bar barism, and from internal COM
mercial oppression and plumber"
And it adds:
1--WE have been the more full on this subject, be
cause this system of internal State custom houses
has now become an article in the notification
creed, and is now adopted AZ a means of commenc
ing the segregation OF the States. MIR. Douglas,
since the death OF MIR. Calhoun and the retirement
of Mr.. Rhett. is its champion; and Mr.. Atchison,
of this State his hacker; all the notification party
follow s,uf; and the people Of the State have re-
NAMED unapprized of the extent and danger OF
this new notification movement We hope we
have made them acquainted with it, and that all
persons may know what it is to have MIR. Douglas
and Mr.. Atchison supported in the Baltimore Con
yention as the Presidential and Vice Presidential
candidates Of Missouri"
This expression of opinion receives more
than common significance from the known
Identification Of the Democrat with Colonel
BENTON 1t is the leading organ Of his party
in Missouri, and is understood accurately TO re-
fleet his sentiments.
In another article the Democrat intimates
that Mr.. BENror's opposition to Judge DoUs-
LAS relates to principles and policy. not to per
sonalities. The scheme Of tonnage duties may
therefore be regarded as one of the measures
against which the doughty champion of West.
ern interests will direct his powerful battery.
We shall be curious to see the ground on
which the Judge will now base his movement,
repudiated as it is by the very section for
whose benefit it was professedly designed.

Our teegraphic column again reports the
arrival of this steamer from Havana, where
she was allowed TO land her mails and passen-
gers without mslestation. An intimation was
however, conveyed from the Captain General
that she will not be permitted to enter the port
on her next trip if Purser SMITH be on board.
If the despatch correctly re presents the Ian
guage Of Passed Mdshipman DAVENPORT on

that he has strangely Inexperienced the du-
ties and privileges OF his new position. We
cannot conceive Of any thing more unbecoming

duce an amicable settlement of the pending
difficulties.
1t is perhaps well that he has apprized US OF

erection, and how fortunate it is that cooler

NEW PRizE Foa LApIRs.-At some of The re-
cent country fairs in Ohio prize has been award
ed for superiority in female cquesirianism; and
several of our exchanges in that quarter contain
quite laudatory notices Of the performances of the
fair riders. At Of these exhibitions the chief
competitors were two married ladies, and two who,
in that respeet, were not yet fortunate. The
latter, however, appear to have been more lucky
in the acquisition of their nrt, for they are de.
scribed as having entered the arena on three year
old unbroken colts; but we judge that the fair
cquessrians were not. after all, perfect as como
who would here he considered merely good, though
not extraordinary riders; for the editor, in de-
scrbing the skill Of one, regrets that her colt would
do nothing but trot, which rendered the appear
ance ofthe rider less elegant than 1t would other
wise have been. In Philadelphia, no lady ia con-
sidercd good equestrian unless she can ride q
trotting horse gracefully. We have, in our time,
zee scores Of ladies riding in the West but must
confess that We have seen far better female eques
trans in our unpretending city. But If the Ohioans
have taken to giving public prizes for good riding,
there will soon be finished equesrians enough. It
