The Republican Party.
Tbs platform adopted BY the State Convsn-
ton in Georgia, which nominated Mr.. JENKINS
has bssa ratified by large and respectable
meeting Of "Republican citizens" Although
the politicians will Of course ridicule this or
ganisation and attribats it 70 desire to cour
popularity under nsw name, We shall not b.
surprised if il prove the platform upon which
numbers Of beth parties. unwilling to div,d.
upon the arbitrary issues inscribed upon party
programme, will rally. The present condition
OF partles proves that there is more cause to lool
to the freedom of the country-the conduct o.
Its ioreign policy, and the perman ence Of the
Un.on--than to settled questions Of Federal
nnanco, or measures OF protection or distribu
ton which have ceased to be expedient or de
sirable.
The Republicans Of Georgia are ofopinion tha,
there y an unsettled question Of sectional RICH,
entwined with the preservation Of the Union
and paramount to the measures referred TO-
They consider their duty to their State and
70 the Union higher than their duty to party
designations. and refuse to disband the orqani-
cation which two years since perhaps preserved
the Union. They behold the strife now roinQ

Government, and to a small extent by Mr..

to cure radical party division by sealing

vain as to heal bullet-hole with bit of court
plaster. For can any one say that if propo-

The New York I'ribune-a paper which
gave the same support to the Wing platform
of 1852 that the Erening Post did to the De-
mocratic--has declared that it means hence
forth TO vote for those candidates who will do most
good without regard to their party affiliations.
Can any one doubt that, upon an issue involv-
ing the acquisition of territory, this paper,
with those who agree with it, would take sides
with the Freesoil interest! Now, if party ale
glance is not sufficiently powerful, or the awe of
party authorityis not sufficiently dreaded by the
northern members of the Wing party to prevent
such an event, why should it be surprising that
the principles of patriotism and self-protection
should actuate the members of the same party
In Georgia to adopt distinct organization 2 In
this organization they maintain the fundamental
principles upon which they understood the
Wh'g party to haze been founded, yet declare
that they twill unite with all, of whatever
party, to preserve the Union and the Consti-
tuition.
The Republicans of Georgia seem to under
stand correctly that the FreesoI question is
only adjourned. They are satisfied that the
question has its root in settled hostility Ia
what is called "the slave power" They
know therefore that this power must strengthen
itself by all the measures of sectional pros.
Perity, and that this will render the UrIos
perpetual because it will teach the abolitionists
In America and Europe that the slave power
cannot be molested with IMMUNITY. Such is
the policy of the Republicans Of Georgia; and il
there have been any calling themselves Wings
who have employed the great Republican Wing
organization Of 1882 TO give increased profits
TO bankers and manufacturers, or to furnish
local facilities at the Federal expense. let
them remember that the Wing organization
VIII have been broken up by the introduction
or a question of political right and Of sectional
supremacy, upon which no Southern Wing
could take sides against the rights af his sec
lion and live. Those who have attempted to
combine the protection Of cotton goods with
the destruction Of the labor that produces cot
ton' cannot be surprised that the Georgia Re
publican should prefer the safety of his own
property to the profit of northern capital. and
that ne should rather abandon the protective
system Of Lowell than the protective system
of Savannah. i->
