q SIGNS" FROM GEORGIA.

The Hon. ALEX. H. STEPHENS, the distinguished
Representative in Congress from the State of Geor-
cia, has departed from this city for his home, not
to return, it is presumed, during the residue of this
Session. Mr. TooMBs, another distinguished Rep
resentatiye from the State, is not in his seat
in Congress, and is, we presume, also at home.
Both these gentlemen, the reader may recollect,
were signers of the Protest against the nomination
of Gen. ScoTT as the candidate of the Wings for
the Presidency. We consider this early retiring Of
those gentlemen to their homes as an indication that
be done in their own State that may be quite as ina
portant to the welfare of the country as any thing
that their votes would be likely to effect in Con-
gress in the short remainder Of this Session. We
are the more induced to this sxpposition by learn
ing from the Savannah t" Republican" of the 18th
instant that Campaign" paper has just been es-
tabished in that city, "deyoted to the support of
ScoTT and GRAHAM" the Wing nominees the
first number Of which, under the title of The True
Wing" was issued on Saturday last And further,
it being stated in that first number that Mr..
TooMBs is now a warm advocate of the election of
Pierce and King the Republican says, IF he
as we are without any evidence of the fact r There
is moreover, unmstakeable evidence in the columns
Of the leading papers Of the State that the idea of
an q Union tickle" Or third ticket-may be alrea-
dy regarded as failure Some Of the gentlemen
designated by it as Electors declined the compli-
ment intended to them and the vacancies thus oc-
filed We also augur well for the integrity of the
Wing Party of the State, and their finally rallyng
generally upon the Baltimore Platform, from the
character of communicated articles in the same num-
Der of the Republican" We subjoin two sam
pies of them, that our readers may judge of the
change which is going on in the views Of the inte
gent Wings of this great Southern State.
SAVANNAH REPUBLICAN, " OF AUGUST II.

ter county has been handed by friend with re-
quest to publish it.

public services and who approves of the political prnci
pies laid downin that platform? think not am
we should not thus act The Wing papers have acted
most shamefully and rdiculously. They have withheld
from the people important truths and communicated most
infamous fasehoods to prejudice the minds Of the people
against Gen. SCOTT who is the regularly and fairly nom
mated candidate of the great National Conservative Wing
party of the Unionnot because Gen. Scott is with
all the great political questions which advocate,
