w. dom often complain Of political demon
..,stiop,: but we must say MIR Toombs is unrea-
.on,ble. Georgia is State prolific in great men;
%, only once has son of that State come within
s;obt of the Presidency. That was in 1s24-'5,
wben William II. Crawford-a decidedly able and
not unpopular statesman-had the benefit of the
REGULAR caucus nomination, and the machinery of
the dominant party, and yet was scandalously
beaten, getting but AZ out Of 262 Electoral Votes,
and only four States out Of twenty-four in the
House. Now, for the second time, native OF
Georgia is up for President, with capital chance
of succeeding, when out comes leading Georgia
Senator with threst-going rather ahead of Fill
more-that the Union shall be dissolved, "and
ought to be-" if this illustrious son Of Georgia is
chosen President What encouragement will
there be for supporting Toombs or any of the rest
of them, if one Georgian so ferociously opposes the
election of aDOther'
Mr.. ToOnbs asserts that "the object of Fre-
mOnt's friends is the conquest of the South" J"
Quite the contrary, Mr.. I've wish to help the
great body of the Southern People put bit in
the mouths of their perverse, Notwithstanding pol
iticians. large majority of the quiet, home
keeping, thIifpursuing citizens Of the South con-
deDned the Nebraska Iniquity from the first, and
still condemn it. They believed, and still believe,
that the Missouri Compact should have been allowed
to stand untouched to the end of time. You, SIR,
did not heed them; and by your and your coadju-
tors headstrOng serious alienation between
the North and South has been brought about. The
election of Fremont-a Southern man with Repub-
lican principles-will 60 far to restore the era Of
good feeling and his Administration may be relied
On to do the rest. Wait and see
1t il little remarkable that none but Southern
born President has ever been called on 30 face the
fury of factions intent defing the power Of the
Union. The Whisky Rebellion in Western Penn
sylvania was encountered and put down By Wash
ing,Op; as was the Modification fmerte in South
Carolina by Gen. Jackson. Gen. Taylor came very
near having civil war to crush in the South-West-
a civil wsr growing out of Texas rebellion TO-
mented by ToOmbs & Co. He was ready to do his
duty, as Fremont will be, should Like responsibility
devolve upon him. But the danger will be sverted
by knowledge that 1t is foreseen and prepared
for.
The People Of the United States have so often
heard this cry of "Wolf raised that it has ceased
to alarm and only serves to stimulate them. Tell
them that the Union will be dissolved if this or that
man is chosen President and they will be very apt
TO try the experiment and prove the prophet false
one. We think they will do it now.
