After IN absence Of more than a week on
visit 10 Mil dgeviie, where the legislature Is
nj session. We resume our labors to-day. The
state 81 he Republic 10 The present e%ytntful
/ crisis is freely discussed az Miledgeviile. Al
most every man you meet has a favoTiie pro-
rrsnme Of his 0Tn. upon the speedy adoption
of which, In bis estimation, depends the sal
walton Of civilization and the perpetuitY Of
African slavery. Each and every man is a
statesman, a prophet, and a nsJor-general-
But upon the subject Of TesisiGace there is
but enc voice. All agree that a settlement,
abrogating existing grievances, must BE- speed
ily had. That the South must have alone by
amendments Of the Consultation, indemnity
for the past and security for the future. Moth
Ing else viii be enter aimed. In fine, there are
two parties in the legislature, representing the
two parties in the State. And these parties
are based, respectively, upon secession and
conservatism.
The first party are composed generally Of
men who were the supporters Of John G
Breckenridge, and are under the lead and coun-
sci of Howell Cobb, his friends and allies.
This secession or Cobb party are FOR inmedi-
ate secession, and the establishment Of i con
solidated form Of government. when the
legislature convened an effort was made BY
this Cobb party or immediate secessioaists, to
declare the State Of Georgia out OF the Union
By resolution. TIE proposition vas 80 mon
slrous and high-handed, and 50 clearly a usur
patton Of authority, that it was abandoned fer
the simple reason that il Wss an assumed re-
sponsibilisy that none bit the most desperate
wished TO incur.
This immediate secession party were not
willing 10 trust The people upon Sc vital a sub
iect, but strange 10 say, really undertook 10
commit The people Of Georgia 10 a policy-ths
most momentous in the history Of the Tepub-
lie, without their assent, either directly or in
directly. This 2Hti-Tepublican policy having
been abandoned, is supporters are now atvo-
eating The election Of mcmbe 20 the State
convention which ASSEMBLIES on the l6-h Of
January, 1861, pin5gei By heir action la con
vention to declare he State Of Georgia cut
side OF the Union.
The people, oxever, VIII dsciIs lhis matter
On the Oh day Of January, 1861, she bal
lot box.
The conservative party in The legislature,
representing the great tax paying interests or
he state, and who are governed b. tie wise
and staiesmanlike views q Alexander II.
Stephens, are opposedto immediate secession
The pole CIV Of this party viii be % clearly de-
fne thc conditions upon which they are viii
ling TO remain IN The Union OF their fathers.
This party, after eIumerating existing gricv-
ances, and demanding a repeal OF all uncan-
stitutional or obnoxious ac's against the rights
and interests OF the South, and the Sale OF
Georgia, viii then assert what are the rights
q Georyians and southrous under the Consti-
tuition. and If the North accedes 70 the de-
mands, and viii agree 20 Incorporate the set
Element as amendments 10 the Constitution,
Georgia viii stil msiHtaiL the original com-
pact l. violate. &c rejected by tue Nor1, the
bonds Of Uuiou viii be severed, and whether
fof neal or for woe, Georgia sill launch Ter
fartfnfpa unnu unEnnWu waters
II short, such then, is the basis % difference
Of ihe two parties now rising into formation
il the State Of Georgia and tie South. i Is
hardly necessary Tor US 90 state that ye be-
l0Gg 10 the latter, or 70 that parry which is
opposed 10 immediate secession, but We are
willing 20 make another si0Tt.o adjust all diff
faculties, and thereby preserve The Uniou Of the
States. When this effort proves q failure We
are then for dissEion.
The cut side pressure AZ M~illcdgcyills has
been great. Every appliance has bsea used 70
influence the legislature TO p-ecipitate the
STATE Of Georgia either out Of The Union OF
into revolution. Tn legislature has been
fcodcd with dsunion documents q every
shade and hue from S5u.h Caroiira. All the
q suniouis,s OF the State have been at Iil
iedgeyille, and Il is needless 20 say I eY have
exhausted the ~ar-umctt. Messrs. Toombs,
Barlow, T. r. r. Cobb, r. r. Jackson ana Il.

-He Government j. a fsilgre-the Union a

dict tacisratory a tieir private convict ous.
The ueop,e, however, have decided one gay
and Messrs. Toombs, Bartuw, Cobb, Jackson
sHd Bennins, gUo her. Which decision shall
be supreme viii soon Re decided.
Among tLe distinguished dis0rEsEiZers who
have been lo5bEhg The legislature for imme-
diste secession are Major Rea McCulloch Of
Texas, Edm0-d Ruifl u Virginia, and Hon.
BaTuweil Rhett of South Carolina. Bat wise
coursels have prevailed at N|iiIe3Eeville. The
speeches Of Alex. Il Stephens, B. r.. Hall, ald
the letter Of Il. V. Johnson, have SCI the peo-
PIE % thinking, and sGca has been the efc'
that calm, iiguj6et order once mere prevails az
the capital n Georgia.

We. in common with many Others, differ
y th A.r. Stephens upon minor pniats, as laid
down in his recent speech at M|lletgeyille,
but with his general line of policy We most
heartily rrrrw~
