The Dcmecracy Of Georgia.--Letter OF Hon.
A. II. Chappeii ssf
We perceive that some OF the northern whix Jour,
nals-among Il en- the New York Courier and Enquirer
exailng what they conceive be the prospect
o serious dssension in The ranks OF The Georgia de-
mocacy, which is to result in the support OF the whg
nominee, Mr.. jenkins by considerable portion OF the
Union" democrats. The able aud patriotic letters
which we published some time since from Governor
Cobb and from The Hon. Mr. Hllyer-iwo OF the
most distinK uished democratic leaders Of the late
,Uaion organization in GsoTga-decafe in the strong
est terms that the Union organization dissolved. and
the occasion for passed away and they urge the union
OF the democrats OF the State in the present democratic
organization in support Of the broad national principles
i'm bodied in the Baltimore platform. and illustrated in
the declared policy OF President Pierce.
To the same effect is tie following able and we'll
sidered letter from Hon. A. II Chappel. also formerly
prominent Union democrat We find his letter publish
ed with cordial appreciation in the Savannah Georgian
In the course OF its comments introducing Mr. Cbappels
letter. The Georgian states that the issue involved In the
approaching eeciion-n the canvass between Johnson
and jenkins whether the administration and the dem
ocrstc party shall be sustained repudiaed by Georgia
From ii there is escape. The supporters of johnson,

men," or what not wings. They are opponents OF
Gen Pierce, and to all ntens and purposes opponents Of
the democratic party North and South Let the time
for another presidential with wing and demo
cratic candidates in the field, and who doubts that the
political enemies OF Pierce and Johnson will be the sup
porters Of the whig national noulinees
These statements carry with them, we know the self
evidence Of trusms, yet ii may not be unmportant to
call them the attention of democrats, We therefore
