STATE OF PARTIES IN GEORGIA.
Both political parties seem to be ia state Of
great confusion in Georgia.
The Athens Banner, the organ of the Hon.
Howell Cobb, has declared in favor of Pierce and
King bat refuses to support the electoral ticket
dominated by the regular Democratic State Con
.vention, upon the ground that the Union Demo
gcrats are not represented on that ticket.
A correspondents of the Savannah Georgian
sgroans over the rebellious conduct of Mr.. Cobb:

sSouh the coming Presidential election is sckenne

Referring to the complicated condition of par
tiles, the Savannah News says:
"The action of State Conventions present rather
ssanomalous of affairs. We first had Democratic

National Democratic Convention at Baltimore; next we
ahRve the Constitutional Union Convention, who deter
to be represented in neither of the great National
Conventions; had caucus Convention of the
SUnion Democrats, oeshoot from the Constitutional
Union Convention who sent delegates to the National
EDemocratic Convention at Baltimore; next had a
Whg Fillmore Convention, who sent de egates to the
National Wing Convention, and now we are to have an
<othcr Constitutional Union Convention to determine
what that party will take in the present Prcsiden
