FROM GEORGIA

srSD1 Oar spec1al Correspondent
MACON, Ca, Dec. 20, 1860.
The secession party 10 Georgia s divided into
two sections: those in favor of cooperation, y
and those who favor speedy and separate State
action. The warfare between these two sections
is waged with much acrimony, and, though it
seems probable, as remarked in q previous letter,
that the Convention which il 10 be- held 10 Jan
nary, viii be made up principally Of dsunion
delegates yet it is not certain that those 10 favor
OF separate action viii carry the day. The pspers
which favor cooperation desiring Convention Of
Southern States before taking definite action, are
severe upon Mr. Cobb the late Secretary Of the
Treasury asking him # Re has the right TO
advise precipitate coarse after he has, by his
mismanngement, brought the country e. the verge
of bankruptcy they ask what plon he has TO
propose after the State has gone Ost how the
poorer classes are 70 keep themselves from stSry-
alton, and what reasonable promise he csn show
for brighter skies.
The truth is, that those who favor cooperation,
holding a position between the direct Secession
lists and the Union men, are really hoping that
some compromise will be suggested By Which tie
UniOn may yet be preserved, and they think
that before the desired Convention Of Southern
hsstes should meet proposition may be sab

The UNITED STATES is not now nearly so remote

partook of the brilliant pageants that were gotten
up IN his honor How our hospitality has been

as those of England and the UNITED STATES will
not hereafter draw nearer to each other, now that
old acerbities are wearing out and more frequent
intercourse has promoted better understanding
between them. The coming of the PRINCE OF
WALES among us; the manly respect with which
he was welcomed and entertained, and the evident
satisfaction with which the attentions that were
paid TO him were received in England,
may certainly be regarded as Indicating a
decay of old prejudices and desire 10 cul-
tivate that friendly feeling which ought ever
to exist between the chief representatives of liberal
ideas in the Old World and the New. 1t is true
that in matters of State Policy, individual friend
ships are rarely permitted to have any weight in
the adjustment of the question at issue; but it can
not, nevertheless, be doubted, that in case of any
future disputes arising between England and the
UNITED STATES, the remembrance of such courtesies
as we recently bestowed ON the heir to the British
throne, would insensibly exert salutary influence
upon the discussion of the points of difference be-
tween the two countries
The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1860-12-01

Now that the anxiety the English people has
been put to rest by the safe arrival of the PRINCE
OF WALES, the series of splendid ovations by which
his tour in this country was distinguished, has
been made anew the subject of public discussion
and has elected, without exception, the warmest
expressions of qualification and acknowledgment.
Taking it all in all, the progress of the youthful
helr 10 the throne of England, through that por
uon OF the North American Continent which less
taan century ago was regarded as the noblest
dependency of the English Crown was one of those
remarkable events Of which the history of the
world affords but few parallels. His cordial ro-
ception was an eridence of that kipdlier feeI;ro
which has grownup of late years, between the two
countries ana VIII undoubtedly tend to knit them
even closer together hereafter than they were in
the olden tme-oecause those relations have been
established under new conditions, and under cir
cumstances more favorable to their permanence.
As the young Prince stood by the tall shaft which
commentaries the battle of Bunker's Hill, he is
said to have expressed hope that the differences
which once existed between England and the
UNITED STATES might never occur again and the
sentiment is one TO which we can afford to cordially
respond without derogang in any respcci from that
spirit oil patriotism which recalls SO vlvidly, on
greatpublic occasions the war of Independence and
the honored and revered names of those who
shared in its sorrows and its triumpbs.

In another column Of to-day's issue will be
found communication in which we are taken to
task for speaking somewhat disparagingly Of the
course of South Carolina. We publish the letter
in question not merely on account of the respect
in which we hold the writer, but because we de-
sire, while presenting our own views, to make
known also to our readers the opinions of those
who differ from us. That we do not admit the
justice of our correspondents censures, we need
scarcely say, nor do we think the inference
that hostile TO the South can be
fairly drawn from any observations we have ever
made upon the position of South Carolina So
far as the South is concerned, we cannot reproach
ourselves with any failure 10 perform our duty
towards it. We have pointed out, and we believe
more persistenhy than any other journal in this
city, the abolition tendencies ofthe Republican par.
y and the fearful trials 10 which its success would
inevitably expose the country. Wehave quoted and
commented on the vituperative speeches of North
ern politicians, the seditous articles of the North
ern press, and the incendiary harangues of North
ern preachers, and have sought to convince our
readers, as we satisfied ourselves
that despite lis proestatons to the contrary, the
Republican party was rapidly advancing 10 the
assault of the institutions of the South within her
own limits. And we do not now shut our ewes
to the pers that surround The Republic, nor dis
guse the fact that its dismemberment is seriously
threatened. But we must cling to the last, to the
hope that the Union may be still preserved, and
until the moment when the blow shall fall we must
labor to avert it. For these rea-
sons we deprecate rash counsels and hasty action
And when we see South Carolina about to take an
extreme course, and hear Der decline all PROPOSE
stions for consultation among the Southern States,
and reject in advance all projects looking towards
compromise or Cancellation between the South and
the North, cannot hesitate to express our views
as decidedly as the people of South Carolina an
nounce theirs. She has not in the past piyen ia
any cause to rely on her discretion or LOYALTY. and
even now she speaks in contemptuous terms of the
position and conduct of the border States and we
cannot see why the latter should permit themselves
to be dragged uncomplainingly and INCREASINGLY
along whatever path she may choose to follow
We know that Maryland will stand firmly and
fearlessy, when the time comes by the side of her
Southern sisters in defence of their constitutional
rights; but she ought also TO assume her place in
their ranks in a manner consistent with her own
dignity and reputation. Where it is a question
between our duty to Maryland and our devotion
to the Republic on the one hand, and respect for
South Carolina on the other, we cannot hesitate
about our course. We say, therefore, it by no
means follows that because we object TO the pas
sionate policy of South Carolina, we are hostile to
the South or lukewarm in defence of its rights
