SOUND SENTIMENTS.

We took due notice few days ago of the proceed
ngso the Georgia Union Convention, called, which
met lately at Niledgevlle, to nominate candidate
for Governor, and which was composed, we believe,
Of citizens of both the Wing and Democratic parties
but holding some opinions peculiar, and in their
view paramount to the leading principles professed
by those two parties. This large and respectable
Union Convention, among its other acts, adopted
with unanimous voice number Of declaratory reso-
utions, some of them announcing doctrines in our
view so sound, so wise, and so accordant with all
just notions of international policy and national adj
ministratoH, that must pray admission into this
Georgia church politicaso far at least the par
ticular tenets to which we refer extend And happy
should we be could we see good men of all parties
come forth, and laying down the prejudices and
pride of party on the altar Of PATRIOTISM meet TO-
gether at least on this limited but strong and en-
during platform
Pssolued, That the public lands the common pro-
pery Of all the States of the Union and in their appro
priation equality is the only true rule Of equity and
any alienation of them except to bring money into the
public treasury should be for the equal benefit Of all the
States Of the Union, old as well as new
Resolued That, while struggling freedom every where
enlsts warmest sympathy we still adhere to the doc
trne Of the Father of his Country announced in his
farewell address, of keeping ourselves free from all on
tanging alliances with foreign countries, and OF never
quitting our own to stand upon foreign ground ina
our mission p~r-s,u is not TO propagate our opinions
or impose other countries form of government b.
artce force, but to teach by example, and show b.
our success moderation and justice the blessings of self
government and the advantages of free institutions.
The last of the above resolutions, it should b.
observed, was not original. 1t formed one Of the
noble series of resolutions adopted by the Wing
Presidential Convention at Baltimore last June
The Georgia gentlemen adopted the Wing platform
though they rejected, strange to say the Viii.

interest in the object-unless, indeed, Abolitionism

WING EXTRAVAGANZA.

1t appears (says the Richmong Whig) that there
will be some treay-three millions surplus in the
treasury on the lst of July. This is the prosper
Gus condition Wing Administration leaves the
country in; yet we everlastingly hear Democracy
prating over Wing extravaganza about election
times, and telling the dear people that the Wings
are not fit to be entrusted with the public money
When did ever Democratic Administration leave
surplus in the treasury On the other hand, they
have always left exhausted Golfers and an accumu-
lated debt. Already the organs of the party are
setting to work to devise some plan to spend the
surplus left by the Wings As the ostensiJle means
Of making way with it, some Of them propose to
plunge the country headlong into another war The
people need give themselves no concern about the
disposition of this surplus. A Democratic Admin
istration can spend it.
