Georgia Union Convention.

4he results of the convention of the Union
party of Georgia, meeting at Mlledgeville,
have already been communicated to our read
ers. The Savannah Republican, of the Gath,
furnishes an extended report of the proceed
ings, from which we gather some interesting
particulars. 1t appears that the proposition af-
hrming the inexpediency Of sending delegates
to either the National Wing or Democratic
Convention led TO an animated debate, and was
eventually agreed to by fully four fifths of
the members. Mr.. THOMAS, of Ebert, who
described himself as a Hunker Democrat, de-
precated every thing approaching to the ''out-
side movement" which the minority seemed
disposed to sanction, principally in considera-
ton Of what he termed IA superstitous regard
for the name Of Democracy" He reviewed
the leading issues that have hitherto divided
the old parties for The purpose of showing that
Union Democrats "have nothing TO expect, so
far as their principles are concerned, from the
convention at Baltimore" He was opposed to
both of the old parties, and referred TO the Sc
cesslon of southern members from the late
Wing caucus as the forerunner of National
CHlon party. WI. JENKINS Is mus reported.
ole showed that the principles upon which the
Union party was organized required it TO stand
aloof, and to affiliate only with those who were
free from faint. To 60 into the Democratic Con-
vention would be t. cut the Union party III from
all communication with the conservatives at the
North Of the Wing party; and he could never con.
sent TO be thus separated from such patriots and
statesmen as Willard Fillmore and Daniel Webster.
He here paid glowing tribute, in which the entire
convention seemed to sympathize, to these men for
the brave and noble manner in which they have
maintained the cause Of the Union and the Consu.
tuition. His plan to await the action Of both
the national conventions. II either presented sat.
isfnctory candidate, with a proper platform, he
should support him; but If neither did this then he
would put forth third candidate, and appeal from
the politicians TO the p,opiefrom csbals and con.
ventons 10 the nation"
Amongst other speakers who sustained this
view were Judge CoTE, and Mr. CHlPPELt. Of
Bib, president Of the cOnventiOn--the latter.
however, with some qualification.

Congress-.

In the Senate yesterday the amendment to
the Deficiency bill, proposing further aid to the
Collins line Of steamers, was further debated
by Messrs. SEWARD and UNDERWOOD.
In the House of Representatives the Home
stead bill was under consideration. Among
those who spoke upon the question was Mr..
STEPHENS, Of Georgia, who avaled himself Of
the occasion to express his views in relation to
the state Of the country. lie took the ground
that no party can exist without principles, and
insisted that the enforcement of the obligations
Of tho Constitution, including the right to re-
capture fugitive slaves, should be prominent in
the canvass; and further, that he knew Of no
Wing or Democrat south Of Mason and Dixon's
line who would support any man who shall not
be clear and explicit upon this point. He wished
one voice to emanate from the two Presiden-
tial Conventions which are soon to meet in
Baltimore, placing themselves on this platform;
and he eloquently enforced his positions on this
and other topics connected with the subject.
A sketch Of this gentleman's remarks appears
in another column.

The american Sfssmers

The debate in the Senate yesterday was con
timed on the amendment of the Committee on
Naval Affairs to the Deficiency bill. Mr.. Sc
WARD addressed the Senate at length in favor
Of the amendment, and his remarks in full will
he found in our reporters column. Mr.. Ur-
DERwooD, Of Kentucky, followed. lie was in
favor Of giving additional aid To the American
line. but he thought the increase contemplated
was too large. He was in favor Of giving
$4,000 trip. instead Of i33 900, the amount
proposed by the committee Mr.. UNDERwooD'.
objections TO the proposed increase were pre-
Dictated upon a calculation which demonstra-
ted in his view Of the figures that the line
was already paying its expenses. The fact is,
that it is losing about 81 900 trip, and thi.
loss is distinctly proved by aflidavits Mr..
UNDEHwoop understood the proof Of the con
tractors to exclude the 1886 900 received from
the Government from the sum total of receipts.
This was shown to be erroneous by Mr. sew
ARD and Mr.. MILLER. The Senator from
Kentucky then went into an elaborate calculas
ton of expenditures, TO show that the steam
ships ought to be kept in operation at the rate
Of S5l 900 per trip. In this calculation he pre-
scented merely the items Of fuel, wages, subsist-
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1852-04-28

ence, and the running expenses oil The vessels;
leaving out of view the interest in capital in
vested, the insurance, and the loss by delerlo
ration and wear and tear. These items, added
to the estimate Of the Senator, will make a
total Of expenditure larger than that exhibited
by The company, and forming the basis Of their
call for increased compensation.
We cannot bring ourselves to regard this
mail line between New York and Liverpool as
mere commercial enterprise, to be disposed of
on the ground of dollars and cents. In our
judgment, the policy Of Great Britain in the
establishment of mail steamers calculated for
war purposes, as partial substitute for an
armed naval marine, is so wise, far-seeng,
and eminently successful, that we are bound
to follow it and improve upon it, or yield
to our great maritime rival an undispu,ed
supremacy on the ocean. The point in the
case is simply this-the Collins line hare
surpassed their ripals. 70 attain this result
they have been compelled to go beyond the
calls of their contract--tO build larger vessels,
and more expensive machinery, and by so doing
to render their enterprise, in its commercial as
pect, ruinous failure. If, with all this, they
had failed in poin, of speed if their extra ex-
penditures had been unauailing, the disposition
Of the public would have been, we apprehend,
to suffer them to reap the consequences
of their own miscalculation But as the
case stands, there has been no 'mscalcula-
ton. The ends have been precalculated, and
they have been attained-and there is no rea
son to believe that they could have been at
tanned by vessels Of any less SIZE or engines of
any less power, than those which have been
set afloat by Mr.. COLLINS. We believe that
the desire of the American people, as mani
Tested in its ordinary channel of expression
the public press-is as nearly unanimous on
this subject as upon any that has been submit
ted to it within our recollection. The contest
is national one-natonal in its relation to our
naval marine-national in its reference to the
question of maritime uperiority-natonal in its
appeal to the pride, the feelings and the interests
of the American people. Deeply should we re
gret-deeply will it be regretted by the coun-
try-if, by the absence Of prompt, liberal
and thorough going determination on the part
of Congress to maintain the competition in
which the Collins line have engaged, the stars
and stripes should be lowered in this contest,
for they cannot be lowered without dishonor to
the Republic.
