The Miiledgeville (Ga.) Southern Recorder, of
the 25th inst, says:
We have but little doubt but that the leading
principle of the Southern Cooperation party in
georgia will be successful in the coming election
The madness that ruled the hour at first is fast Civ
ing away to cool, second sober thought, temper
ed by wisdom, moderation, true statesmanship and
common sense. We speak of the cooperation prin-
cpe, that looks to the cooperation Of all OF the
southern States, or many will cooperate to
demand our rights in the Union, and if granted by
the North, to still remain part of the Union.

SOUTHERN CONSERVATISM.
The Richmond Wing, of Saturday has the fol-
l3wing brief article under the above caption:
1t is we'll that national, conservative friends
in the North should keep it perpetualiy before
their feowctizens, that, while there are in the
South thousands of those who will stand by the
Union as long as there is hope that the spirit of
the Constitution may be restored there are none
who do not make that absolute condition of its
existence. Those who oppose secession would yet
accept revolution at once rather than the perpetual
shocks OF sectional agitation and puritanical az
gressiNn.
