Southern .oings Of the Democratic party!
No other differences could be drawn from the
Uaicn's editorial comments, and the accompa-
nying editorial from the Georgia paper, but the
reusrse is The truth. The Union, practising It's
habitual hypocrisy, has suppressed the facts,'
mutated the editorial, and just given enough OF
both to produce false impression, and prevent
the whole scope and aim of the editorial, from
which ii quotes SO approvingly, from being un.
derstood.
In the first place then, be il known that the
Journal and Messenger long has been the Bit
terest and most ultra Wing print in the State of
Georgia Edited by partizan originally from
Pennsylvania, and who has been the right hand
man of ,Messrs. TooMBs and STEPHENS, since
the nomination of Gen. TAYLOR down to the
present moment. No paper in the State OF
Georgia has been more habitually and unspar-
ingly denunciatory of Democracy and Demo
Gratis everywhere, than this same print, now so
fraternally recognised by The "organ."
But even this suppression Of an important
fact tending to show the real purposes and char
acter of the editorial, sinks into insignificance
when compared with the further suppression q
he concluding and most material part Of that eda-
toriai. For after making the suggestions which
The Union has given, as though they.were all
the article contained, hconcludes with this fierce
and sweeping denunciation ofthe States Rights
Democracy of the South, charging them with o
corrupt coalition with the Abotionists, and call
ing upon the Union men of the South to break
up "this infamous coalition" by taking the steps
indicated. What the Union has suppressed in
that pronunciamento Of the "Union party" we
now add, to 'verify the truth ofhistory," and for
the information of the few deluded individuals
who still regard the Union as reliable authority
on any matter, where its own selfish interests
are at stake.
The Journal and Messengers article ends in
the Union with the following paragraph
aWe say, then, that The Union men of the
South ought to send delegates to the Baltimore
conventions 1t is the most effectual way to ac-
compsh their design of saving and perpetual
ing the Union Unless they do so, that conven-
ton may lose its conservative character, and
may bring forward a candidate who will be OBJ
noxious to the South"
In the original, the editor, without break or
stop of any kind goes on to say:
There is at this moment most singular CO.
aition formed between the Abolitionists and Dis
unionistst to control that convention No sensi
BILE man can close his eyes 10 the fact. Van
Buren,, Blair, Benton, and their free-soil coadju-
tors, are marshalling their forces at the NoSh.
Rhett, Commander, Mcdonald and Quittnan are
gathering together the scattered members of
the coffin regiments at the South. These men,
defeated in their late reasonable schemes, are
now about to combine for the purpose of sub
sidizing and controlling the national Democracy.
They ,oM accomplish their purpose, too-unless
defeated by prompt movement on the part OF
the Union men of the South. Here in our very
midst they are changing their names, repudiating
their principles, and preparing to associate with
what, few months since, they termed the rad
zeal, rotten Democracy Of The North" Open
disunionists, who denounced Yankees-who re-
fused to trade with them, or to admit them into
their family circles-are now ready to embrace
the sweet little fellow" of Undertook and the
whole horde of his abolition followers Even
the Hon. Representative from the first District
is found closetted with such men as Disney, of
Ohio! Verify, coming events cast their shad-
ows before"
Noto, lce hope that The Union men Of the South
piH send delegates 10 Baltimore for he purpose
Of breaking up his infamous coalition betpeen che
AbolitoniSts and fire edterS-lre hope they tUiH
send delegates there uho piH co operate ioith me
true JACKSON DemOcracy-re-aairm the doctrines
of lhsSjeorgia onvention-engraft the princi.
al. he Rail
PLATFORM and bring out some such man as Dir.
Buchanan for the Presidency.
For ourselves, we honestly believe that u is
il the only way in which the country can be
saved If the Southern Union men remain out
Of that convention, the compromise wings Of the
Democratic party-the true Jackson Democracy
will be overwhelmed by the combined power
of the Van Burenites and the Rhettes-- Free
soil, anti-compromise ticket will be nominated
the slavery agitation will be reopened, and the
Union will be lost
We throw out these hints for the reflection Of
our Union friends in the legislature, and hope
they will take some action in the premises be-
fore they dispense. The time for action is at
hand. This is day Of progress. Parties, like
individuals must move forward, If they expect TO
accomplish great results. Why not bold meet
ing-pass resolutions-appoint committees, and
take action at once! Now is the time for Geor.

vention in few days. spontaneous move.
ment on the part Of the Union men Of these
leading Southern States would not be without
is moral effect upon the country at large Now
is the Time for action, and we hope The Union
men at the capital may embrace the auspicious
opportunity to accomplish such great results.
