The Nomination Of General Pierce.

We publish with pleasure the following letter, in
reply 10 the Republic from Mr. Forsyth OF the Coum.
bus (Ga) Times. Our neighbors Of the Republic who
have made so much use OF unguarded expressions
of Mr.. Forsyth, will doubtless set the matter right
in their columns by copying Mr. Forsyh's letter:
