The LAST CHANCE TO SAVE THE UMoN.-
The following communication we take from
the Savannah News, Of the 9th instant, Il
having first appeared in the Augusta Consti.
nationalist, to which il vas addressed:
Hon A. III. Stephens Tho most inatien.
tive observer Of the political events Of the
country must conclude that we are on the
verge Of n dissolution. It will require all
the patriotism Of the country to prevent this
great calamity. The next Presidential nomi
nation will have much to do with the fate Of
this country politically. If we can bring for.
ward the proper persons as our candidates for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency, IL may
be blessing to our institutions. Il is con-
cedcd, believe, that the candidate for the
Vice Presidency will be given to the South.
There is no man whose nomination would,
in my judgment, tend more to calm the wa.
tiers of strife than that of Alex II. Stephens.
II he be placed on the ticket with Buchanan,
It may be the means of preserving and per-
petuating the political institutions Of the
country. HARRIS.
The country will, no doubt, be startled
from its propriety at the alternative so grave.
ly announced above: the election of Blu.
chanan and Stephens, or Dissolution. The
former is perhaps the best and safest man
whose name has yet been mentioned in con.
nection with the Cincinnati nomination, but
the idea advanced that his defeat wosh leo.
pardizc the integrity of the Union, is absurd.
There is patriotism enough among the mass.

pendent Of the politicians, eliques and fac.
tons now wrestling for power and booty

sental to the preservation and perpetuation
