Here WAS the place to try the ability OF the pohtca
leader and tsct'ciap. There were three candidates
IN the time until the nompa,ion took place. MT:
Remington aud Mr. Stares were nominated ana
elected as Judges and Charles j. Mcdonald was, on
the seventh balloiing, nominated as the candidate
for United States Senator, over Ar. Oooo ana ar.
A Ivenon; the nomination was unexpected aao MI
Cobbs friends at heart were very much excited ana
dis. atisfed. The fault was in the impotic and I'M
prudent conduct OF his real friends, as well ss the
management and skill of his false or pretended
ones his supposed alliances with the governor elect,
and other persons who candidates for offices
before the Legislature, had its effect. Also, that
he and large number of his family connexion had
places OF distinction and profit bestowed on them by
the State and the United States, and that be had
given his adhesion to the President And his sbinet,
which he was obliged to do, beca11 appointments
were conferred at his instance one on his brother
in-law, Mr. jackson, of Savannah, and some others.
This course of Mr.. Cobb did not suit their views OF
national democracy, and they did not nominate him.
Mcdonald had the strength and the sympathy with
him; he has always been favorte with the old de-
mocratic party. Two years ago. Mr.. Cobb obtained
majority of nearly 20 900 for Governor over Mcdonald
and now Mcdonald has received the nomination by
the OF two thirds OF the members OF the General
Assembly, which is tantamount 30 an election. Nc

tiOn.o Mr.. Cobb friends are mortified at the con-
trast and their disappointment. 1t Is rumored thai
the President will give him an appointment equal or
superior to the Senatorship.
Friday, the 18th inst, the election of the United
States Senator was come on by resolution passed
by both Houses, and sanctioned by the Governor;
but when the Clerk of the House OF representatives
read the message TO the Senate, requesting their at
tendance in the Representative Chamber TO elect
Senator the Senate refused to attend, and passed
resolution to postpone the election for two years.
Four OF the democratic Senators, and all the
wings, voted Tor the resolution This is null
LITIGATION at headquarters; il has produced great
excitement; it is the ruling topic There is q
complete stampede, and where it will go to. or how
it will end none can tell. Whether the House will
pass the resolution OF stponemen or not cannot
say the wings are for it, and they viii carry i II
they can get democratic votes enough. am OF the
opinion that il will injure Mr.. Cobb seriously, al
though he is against it, and wants the election to
come on. He went mo the nomination and viii
abide by it; this is noble at least, it not fair.
II these democratic Senators are at heart the
FRIENDS Of Mr.. Cobb they certainly viii not sacrifice
him and the party. They ought to consider his stu
alton, and be guided by him. It is better for Mr.,
Cobb that harmony should prevail and let Mcdonald
be elected in preference to q wing.
II the stampede cor tnues and there is no election,
it will be next to impossible to unite the democratic
Senators, and without it the democratic victory will
be defeat
The people of Georgia are largely democratic in
their nature and habits, they for national demo-
cratic party, without sectional feelings or plumber,
they want its head to be men who will be for the
whole people, and with them and they want those
who win to wear the laurels. They have been be.
slowed on individuals who did not work for them,
and who did not deserve twig. They have been
disappointed and deceived by Mr.. Pierce and his
Cabinet; and You need not be surprised to resolu
tons passed by the present General Assembly, Sc
we're as any sent forth in New York. Wish deter
mined, energetic and united effort the national demo
cratic party will and must govern-it is the feelings
and voice of the people. OBSERVER.
