Union State Convention Of Georgia.

The State Convention of the Union party of
Georgia was held at Millidgeville on Thursday &
Friday last. The Hon. A. II. Chappell presid-
ed. The principal business brought before the
Convention consisted of series of resolutions
reported by Committee of Twenty-four Del
egates, of which Mr.. Charles J. jenkins was
chairman. These resolutions endorse and main
tain the fnality of the compromise measures; de-
clare it inexpedient for the Union party at this
time to take any action on the Presidential ques-
ton !; and recommend that another Convention be
assembled for that purpose after the Wing and
Democratic nominations and platforms shall have
been made The report and resolutions were a.
dopted, and the Convention adjourned sine die.
1t will thus be seen that the Constitutional u
Mon party of Georgia has resolved to maintain an
Independent organization, and keep itself separa-
ted from either of the great parties of the country

Chair. Thereupon, the remainder of the under
signed formally withdrew from the meeting.
| 1t is officially announced that, after our with
drawal, the resolution of Mr.. Stanly was passed;&
then the meeting adjourned.
The foregoing statement exhibits the character
and order of the proceedings, which compelled the
undersigned to leave the meeting of the goth inst
BY reference to the list of persons who partic
ipated in these proceedings, it will be perceived
there was great disparity in the representation
from the free States and the slaveholding States
We are authorized to state that several gentlemen
from saveholding States belonging to the Wing
party, declined to participate at all in meeting
which the result was palpable, under the intima
tons of purpose advanced by the Chairman at the
first meeting.
The meeting was composed of forty-six gentle
men from the free States, and twenty-one from the
slave-holding States. The vote is divided, forty
six to twenty -oae-seven from each class OF States
voting with the opposing section.
The entire meeting was meagre majority o
the representation cassed as WING In the Con
gress of the United States. The quota from thu
slaveholding States, remaining In the meeting at
ter our withdrawal was Just oneourth OF the Wing
representation from the slaveholding States. Th'
determination of the time and place for the Wing
National Convention may therefore Justly be con
sidered as made by the Congressional Representa-
tives from the free States.

w. II. SEWARD AND THE WHALE FISHERIES
Mr.. Seward recently made long, learned and Ella
borate speech the whale fisheries, historical geo.
graphical, nautical and statistical But nero dry
land lawyer, whether of the common law, constitu-
tional law, or the "higher law" is but land shark
after all, and when he puts out to sea is very apt to
fall short of his reckonings. Thus Captain Seward
says-
Our Panama route to China has a decided advantage
that of the Isthmus Suez and at the same time
vessels leaving that country and coming round the Horn
will reach New York always at least five days than
vessels equal speed double the Cape of Good
and make the port OF Liverpool
This would convey the idea to children, were
they not better instructed, that American vessels,
on their homeward passage from China, are in the
habit Of doubling Cape Horn an instance ofwhch,
we may safely say, has not occurred since the war
with Great Britain, when the route was occasionally
resorted to for the purpose of lodging the cnemys
cruisers, and by so DOING the passage was length
ened on an average considerably more than month.
All vessels, English and American, bound from
China, either to the United States or England, in
variably double the Cape of Good Hope, and the
time occupied in making the passage to Liverpool
or New York is Haking the average Of the sea-
ssns) about the same.
We might point out other wise 6lunders Of this
great speech Of the higher law man on fish oil; but
the game would hardly be worth the candle. What
in the name Of common sense it was that took him off
to the Arctic ocean, at this stage Of the Presidential
election, we cannot very well imagine. Probably
he wished to get far away from the wing platform
aspossibc. A more trashy speech than Mr.. Stewards
last we never read. 1t has neither beginning, mid
ple nor end. 1t is trash all over

TnE COMMON CoUNcIL.-FuLL REPORT OF THE
DEBATES. Last evening was held the first meeting
Of the session of the Common Council for August,
and, as will be seen, we have given full report
he debates in both boards. A great deal has been
said about the corruption Of the Common Council;
and no doubt it has increased for the last few years.
since the nominations placed in the hands Of
the rowdies and the political wire pulers But it
is not confined to set of politicians, as the Nep
York Tribune would have its readers believe. If
the late Common Council, consisting Of its own
party, can be matched for proAigate expenditure
anywhere on the face Of the Garth, then we shall
confess that we are ignorant of their doings, and
that there never was SO illuminated body of men.
The Common Council Of the city of New York
represent the largest number of citizens Of any mu-
nicipal body In the world, with the exception of
London and Paris. There is more money expended
by II than in half dozen States-more than in all
the New England States, for public purposes Now,
the true way to cnlighten tho public on all this ex-
penditure, is to publish full reports ofwhat the Com
mon Council do and say. Already we have publish
ed their acts ut cheaper rate than we publish the
advertisements oft chambermaids. But we will
hcnceforth publish, on our own account, what they
say, which will throw ample light on what they do,
and we invite those papers which pretend to be 50
indignant, to follow our example, and show the
same spirit Of liberaty. Thus, the taxpayers will
be enabled to form correct judgment ofthe sayings
and dongs Of the city fathers, entrusted with the
management Of the funds in the Ieople's Treasury.

Total deaths in July. ao5 Total increase .24o
A portion of the deaths which occurred III the
week from the twenty sixth Of June to the third Of
July should be added to the above; that is, as many
as took place from the first TO the evening of the
third; but, that entire week there was no in
crease, and we let it pass Of the aggregate given
above six hundred and fifteen were infants under
one year of age, and four hundred and ninety-four
had exceeded two but not reached ten years, making
the infant mortality amount to one Thousand one
hundred and nine, in four weeks. We wish to fix
public attention upon this unvarying increase during
July. The number of emigrants landing was less
by thousands. They cannot. therefore, either as
victims promoters of disease, be taken so largely
into account as heretofore Hot weather, filthy
streets, oyerAowing cesspools, and a disor-
ganized sanitary staff has done much to produce
this great increase and we hope that the people
will not allow their Health Wardens, Health In
spectorS, City Inspector and detailed police officers,
to verify the nearly obsolete adage of. What is
erybody's business IS ..5yody's business" The
infant deaths have sweled the amount considera-
bly,, and no doubt but the free use of unrpe fruit
and green vegetables produced many eases of che
lera infantum and diarrhoa; but it should be
recollected, that in the crowded parts of the city,
the fermentng heaps before the door, and the dirty
yards in the rear, the playground of thousands
of them, and generate diseases which only show
themselves when remedy is too late. We recon-
mend exertion for sanitary reform.

Grand Attempts at sIievegammonism.

Grand Attempts at Slievegammonism.
Our readers will never forget the report that
was published in the Nep York Tribune, in the
year 1S4S of the bloody battle of Slievenamon,
in Ireland, in which so many thousands of the
British army fell before the pixies of the men
of Tipperary, led on by Major General Doheny, and
other valiant chieftains. This, some happy wit
pronounced ''slevegammon,' and the epthet has
been found, ever since, to be most convenient,
expressive and truthful to apply to large pro-
portion of the reports and news published in that
journal Slevcgammon s Co. have improved
amazingly in their vocation since their famous re-
port, in which they gave full, true, and particular
account Of the Slievenamon engagement. They
have published an equally true and crcumstantial
account of an abolition meeting in North Carolina.
They have also given to the public many other
reports of the same description The last of these
is one intended to bear the Presidential election
and exceeds all the past for artful lodging and
rascality. The first intmaten we had of this
scheme was the following notice:-
A NATIONAL UNION CONVENTION
VIII be held in the city Of Philadelphia upon the first
day of August. 1852. for the nomination Of Daniel
Webster for the Presidency Of the United States and
suitable candidate for the Vice Presidency for the
support Of the Union party Of the nation in November
next.
Delegations from ten States hold themselves in
readiness this step; other States requested TO
choose suitable representatives without delay.
Friends Of the Union and Of its great champion you
called upon TO give evidence of your devotion
TO that which has enlisted the sympathies Of
mighty nation.
The immediate formation of local Webster Union AS
soeiatons is earnestly recommended.
