umbus (Ga.) Times thus defines the position
of the Georgia Democracy, touching the Pre-
sidential nomination:
Georgia is sound upon the doctrines of pro-
lection to slave property in the Territories
She has acted wisely in her Convention
Her delegates go like men to Charleston
They will present the names ofthe Hon, How
ell Cobb and the Hon. y. II. Stephens as
Georgia's choice, if they choose to do so.-
They will insist upon the nomination OF

that he has taken his present position for the
