WAsHIEGToN Union The Washington Union
by request of Foote, has published a letter OF
his, and also the correspondence of certain men
in this State, attempting to injure the standing
OF Col. Davis, with the Democracy. Now, the
Washington Union Processes to be in great
horror, when Clemens proposes Union party,
and rather considers it anti Democratic, bat at
the same time publishes, with approving remarks,
letter Of Foote'S, and correspondence tend
ing to injure Col. Davis, forgetting, il would
seem, that Footo adopted the letter Of Clemens
as his own sentiments, and has had it published
with his own name attached Ii Gen. Foote'S
various actions are consistent with the course of
the Washington Union, equally so is Mr. Glenn
ems, and when the Union attempts to rcbuke
Clemens and approve Foote it's double dealing
is evident TO all minds.

pen, and as far as we can see, that influence is
given to build up the political character Of a
few men VITO have lost caste in their own States
The editor of the Union is either entirely igno-
rant of the general feeling ia the ranks of the
Southern Democracy, or he has entered into n
bond with a few polit cal trcksters to do so much
through his paper to build up their political for
tunes, and extricate them from nnumerable ex
cesses, and make it appear all Democratic. One
of the two things is certain, and from many
articles in the paper we are led TO believe il
arises from ignorance of the feeling of the
Southern Democracy. To be the most lenient,
the mass of the Democracy look upon many of
the leading articles in The Union, as the very
pth of inconsistency Ii the accessor is rs
guilty as the principal, Foote is equally guilty
with Clemens. And when the Union gives the
hand OF fellowship to the accessor, its denunci
alton of the principal, is all for appearances, it is
all CANNON, it becomes an accessory itself, ard
so it will be looked upon.
The Federal Union, of Georgia, speaks with
equal sternness of its attempt to uphold CoBB,
CLEMENS and FooTE. Under the caption of
Reunion of the Democratic party" that able
print commences
The Washington Union of the 9th inst, asks
"why should Messrs. Cobb, Foo;e and Clemens
be denounced on the one hand, as being less
Democratic now than they were before the cleo.
ton % We will endeavor to answer the ques-
ton of the Union, so far as Mr.. Cobb and
Georgia is concerned, &c.
And then goes on to fulfil IFS promise thus
Before Mr. Cobb was nominated for govern
or, the Democrats had large majority in
Georgia, and could control six of the eight Con-
gressional districts in the State So complete.
ly were the Wings FRUSTRATED that the leaders
of that party admitted that it would be impossi-
BILE for them ever to regain the ascendency in
the State, unless they could divide the Democ-
racy. This they effected by nominating Mr.
Cobb and few other Democrats to offices, in
opposition to the regularly nominated candi-
dates of the Democratic party. We know that
the party that nominated M. Cobb for govern
or, was called the Union party-but it was to
all intents and purposes the Wing party, assist
ed by all the Democrats that Mr.. Cobb could
carry with him. Nearly all the leaders and al
most the entire rank and file of the Wing party
supported Mr.. Cobb. His election was Wing
victory, and by his success the Wings were
again brought into power. BY the combination
OF Mr. Cobb's friends with the Wings in the
legislature, they have been able TO gerrymander
the State, so that now the Wings confidently
expect to elect six out of the eight members of
Congress. Since his election, Governor Cobb
has done all in his power to give the Wings the
ascendency In the State. He and his friends
elected Mr.. Toombs Senator for six years. All
the State House officers except one, were taken
from the Wings; nearly all the Offices within
his gift were filed with Whigs. He has given
all his patronage to those Wing papers that
have been the most bitter and unmitigated enc
mics of Democracy, and those presses in the
State that have sustained the Democracy in
peace and war, in adversely as well as in pros
perty, are the objects Of his unrelenting perse-
cuton. In short, Mr. Cobb has done more
within two years to build up the Wing party,
and TO divide and destroy the Democracy than
any other man in Georgia. and If there is the
least probability OF the Wing candidate for
President receiving the vote Of Georgia, il is
owing 10 the influence OF Mr. Cobb.
Does not the editor Of the Union know that
Mr.. Cobb's name is placed on the same ticket
with Mr.. Webster in Massachusetts,, and that
overtures have been made 10 have him run on
the same ticket with Mr.. Fillmore, and can he
ak why Mr.. Cobb should be denounced by
Democrats We know that many thousands
Of honest Democrats voted for Mr.. Cobb last
fall because he was called Union man, but
these men have learned that the Union Is in no
danger, and that by eecting Mr.. Cobb they
have brought the old Wing party into power,
and nearly all Of them have already returned 10
the ranks Of the Democracy. The Southern
Rights party have been anxious to heal all
divisions in the Democratic ranks, but how have
their ovedures been met by Mr.. Cobb and his
friends BY sneers and ridicule they will not
leave their Wing allies. The Wings will not
become Democrats the Union humbug cannot
be kept up any longer, and the consequence is,
they must all remain Wings. Let the editor Of
the Union beware how he gives aid and comfort
to Foote, Cobb and Clemens They are in
alliance, offensive and defensive with the Wings
Of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi. They
will act with the Wings in the Presidential
campaign, and IL the editor Of the Washington
Union is deceived noto, he DiH denounce hem be-
fore The election is oDer. The Union Processes
10 be in favor Of a reunion Of the Southern
Democracy-Me ssrs. Foote, Clemens and Cobb,
are now the only Obstacles to complete re-
