The Communication **•4.”
Ela. Where in ibia paj er we publish »
communication from e gentleman of an*
other county, with whom we regret to p»H
company aa a political ###ociat«. Bui he
ie resolved on leaving oe, for rea*ena wbicb
me think wholly inaufficienl, aud we bavi
but a few remarks to ruako in reference to
bis farewell letter.
Hi* chief fault with ue ie, that we have
pot joined ti.e eecadcre to the support of
their Candida's*, for he it remembered th«<
tboy never offered ut a union on any other
terms. They seceded at Charleston before
our Constitutionil Union Convention met
at Baltimore end nominated Boll and Ev*
erelt. Why did * hey not, as soon as the)
found ibrn.avlsca unable longer to act wiili
(he Nation«l Democracy, make a proposition
for a "united » uth," embracing on rqusl
ut ms of organization all who favored such
an alliance! Instead of doing eo, they
reaolvrd to organize exclusively as a fac
tional Democratic party, to bold a Conv. n-
lion ol only svctding or disaanttent Demo
crats at Richmond, and to put forth their
own eicluaive carulii'ates. Our Slate Con-
vr n I ion at Mllledgwilla Certainly Went *•
far as could be etpeeled of il (unasked) by
endorsing the principles for which they had
Contended at Charleston. But inatead ol
recognizing I hie maotfeatation of sympathy,
they ignobly abandoned th**ir own position,
by refusing to do anything at Richmond
and going into iba National Demoostic
Convention again at Baltimore, Irnra which
body they seceded not upon principle but
eirnply because of the rejection' ol cartain
aata ol drlrgalea and ihe adm aaion of cer
tain others. They spill upon a question ol
Democratic organization, and uuw expect
the paity opposud to thr Democracy to g<
over and join them in lighting their batlh
with the party (mm which they seceded !
And they selected as their lender, under
whom they would have us lake pnaitiun, I
man who lour ye-ra ago wsa the candidal,
of that very National party Irani which they
bolted—N mm who then ran upon the vny
(datloim which they n>*w profraa to repu
d>a<e—who then di elated that it tnea'i
precis* ly wbat they now repudiate it for—
wlin, if be ie opposed to squatter aover-
eignty at all, la a very recal l convert, an.i
is too phalne to be trusted, as is proved by
bis running On ilia Cine iiliali I'latlorui

■n- u.d be reauted by the whole people as
tb direst calamity that can befall the nailuii.
It is «n Insult to the Opposition party to
expect them to support a member of that
Administration.
Moreover, they are inviting a nations,
parly to aur render to a tectiunul fur limit
and tna drinaud ie wholly uiadmusitile. A
Union with them at the Houth would dia-
band our organization at the North, because
it would destroy our national character, and
Black HcpUi'licanism would than obtain an
easy victory in every Northern Mialo. Only
think ol 160,008 conservative Opposition
voters in the Htate ol Now Yurk going over
in a body to surrender to the li tlr bund of
10,000 Breckinridge oflice-boldera in (hat
Btate, under the patronage of the present
defeated National Administration, thereby
cutting off all hope of sflil ation by any
other cunasivitive volets I Could any thing
be mure disgraceful and suicidal, or more
disastrous in its national elleclal lly il
we could accomplish nothing anywhere,
aud would lose our own position aa a party
whose mission il is, either its this contest or
vary soon thereafter, to quit the alarming
sectional stuff'* of (ho country Mini vindi
cate the principles ol the constitution.
Had the Breckinridge party contemplated
a national triumph nt tha principle of pro
tection to slavery iu the Terrilonve, and not
tha formation ol a teclionul parti/ formid
able enough to force the Noiihcrti Democ
racy \* yield an insincere assent to their
demands, they would have joined the Con
stitutional Colon party in the support ol
John Bell—a •talesman who has openly
firoclsiuied and consistently upheld the doc
trine of protection, and who never in hit
life gave a vote adverse to it. Wa would
h*va received them un better Itima than
they base ever offered to us, and they could
have n j need with u« hi a national triumph
of l*i* principle which they profess to have
at baart. But they have inuked out i/v

Two *uftloi:il Divisions,
A Troy. N. Y., correspondent of the
Columbus Times ia much in favor of Iba
party policy which he ssya Mr. Buchanan
inaiata upon, vi*: "for the Breckinridg'-
party to run no electoral ticket North, and
the Douglaa party to run no ticket Mouth.”
In this way, be aays, Lmcolo may be de
feated, otherwise he will certaiulj be elected
by the people.
Under tbit arrangement, whal would
b' come of the claim of either faction of the
Dem icralic party to nationality 7 They
would both stand before the country con
fessedly fictional factioni, and with no
pretence whatever that either could elect its
candidate by the popular vote. The beat
they could hope to do would be to carry
tha election to the House, where, aa every
body knows, Douglaa could not gat the vole
ol three Bialra, aud Breckinridge and Lane
would have tha only bone of beating Lin
coln and Hamlin—Lana probably having
the best chance to become President by the
House also failing to elect.
And what would become of tha boasted
principle, in defence of wbicb tha Breck
inridge parly say that they seceded and set
op for themselves! They would ae.’srt it
only at the .*oulb, where but few dispute it,
and surrender it altogether at the North,
where alone its assertion can b«*ffclu«l!
Tiny would sink this question in an
arrangement looking to party success only,
and would thus confess the insincerity and
duplicity with which they advanced it.
They would confess that the Mouth at
Charleston only demanded protection bi-
cause the Democracy of that aection could
nut win the fight with a equatier aover*
eignty candidate aud platform i and that
the North insisted on aucb a candidate and
platform bacauso it could not hope to get
the offices on any other. Accommodate
both sections, aaya Buchanan, and many of
bis sort of Democrats respond amen !
But the writer, admitting that four-fifths
of tha Democracy of New York are for
Duuglas, nevertheless aaya that "the only
material opposition to this arrangement ie
on the part of the Breckinridge men in the
c ty of N*w York.” Our information on
Ihie point is quite to the teverae. Mayor
Wood is the acknowledged leader of tb**
Breckinridge or Mozsrt Hall Democracy,
and ho and the managing council uf that
p.riy have declared their in.ention to sup
port either a divided or a pure Douglaa
ticket. Tbo council so resolved by a nearly
unsnitnous vote. If, than, the Breckinridge
I) mocracy constitute only orie-lifih of the
of N. w York (thia is the cor-
r epiindrnt's ••tirna**, not mire— we ah»uhl
aiv nne fiiteailtb). and if only a portion of
t e New York my part of that one-tilth
• jeci to ihe "arrangement,” why need the
objection ot ao small a fragment prevent it!
Bo' the truth ia, it ia he Douglas
toe Breckinridge office-holding squad, that
obj-ct. They do have some claims t<
tioualily, and they ijiust tee that this
r•ngrmrnl" Would not only negative that
cla m, but that all (lie results ol it would
enure to Breckinridge and Lane, not to
D’Uglss and Johnson. Therefore they
ev.iywhere rejecting propositions to fuse
with the Breeders, while the Brecklliridgi
pally are everywhere willing to lu*e with
any and everybody, the only requirement
h. mg that Ihe result of ihe coalition ©hall
be for ilie benefit of Brec • inndgr and 1
The Douglas men III Now York are willing
to fuse with the Bell and Everett party
alone, winch they cun do wiihuut compro
mising thvir nationality, and which luainn
alone would givu Ibrm strength to beat tin
UHck Republicans in the Mlale. They
scorn the sUvslices of President Buchan
an a lidle squad uf nlfice-bnlilrrs, and will
he in no wise concerned to hear that Buch
anan's speech is likely to "influence” his
squad to go into the arrangement.
I'lie truth is, there ia a prospect that the
Douglas am', the Bell men will urAle, on
Inir terms, in the upport of a common Elec
toral ticket in New York, and will carry
the Miaie against Lincoln, thus utterly
destroying nil his hopes of election, and
defeating the schemes of those Mouthern
supporters of Breckinridge who arc looking
lorward to ihe election of Lincoln as a
justification for a disunion movement.

|tv*red on the lCtb of May last, which we
copy 'o-dey. On that occasion, Douglaa,
addressing Breckinridge as the presiding
rfltcrr of tha ftenate, charged him directly
with faroring "rquatler aoveraignty.” sod
proved it by an extract from one of Hrrck-
Douglas men of Georgia in the support of
a divided Electoral ticket, ie written by a
prominent Democrat of one of the eaatrrn
counties.
Jl is, lo aay the least of il, highly com-
plimentary to nur Constitutional Union
inridge'e speeches. We heard of no denial { party that it ia ao assiduously court* d by
of iba charge, either by Mr. Breckinridge j all «be other parties. For yeara, tha hero-
bi nself or by any of his friends in the | toforo undivided Democracy have been ring-
Henate, and the gentleman eecmed to real j mg in our esra tbe song "A union of all

before tbe Baltimore Convention met, but
«( a time when Breckinridge wsa slily
"lying back” for the nomination, having
pushed Guthrie forward aa tha original can
didate of Kentucky, knowing that in
Black Republicans”; but never before have
they offered us iq-Jal terms, or anything
else than an invitation tu surrender at dis

They were very willing to put us in the

quietly disposed of, and hopiug then to be
himself prominently brought forward aa e
eompromite candidate, qualified by bis for-
io«. record lo run upon Douglas' platform,
wbicb had already been adopted at Charles-
ton. Tbe disruption of tbe Convention
produced a change of programme, and sub
stituted tha Frankfort for the Lexington
speech as tha text-book of Breckinridge's
political principles.
Note Douglas' declaration that be would
ba satisfied with Breckinridge's construc
tion of tbo Cincinnati Platform, "without
dotting an i or crossing a t."
EF* We fully appreciate tha efforts of
the Breckinridge Democracy to produce the
impression (hat we are etpecially friendly
Douglaa, that we contemplate "hoisting
tbe Douglas flag,” 4kc. When we want
them lo define our poarlon for ue, we will
invite them to do it through our columns.
It i ugbt to be sufficient fur them to know
at least unequivocally opposed
to them, and we trust that tbeir joy of that
riddance will yet make them forgal their
solicitude as lo whom we are supporting or
to support. If ever we had an idea
of supporting anybody but Bell and Ever-
made a suggestion that had any other
object in view, we don't know it. But we
wilt not, on that account, aid in nutrepre-
nting the anength or position of ibe
Douglaa men, or conceal facta and move
ments necessary lo an understanding of
their prospects. Wa era for "fair play"
towards all parties, ai d we recognize no
censorship that would require us to treul
with injustice or prrjuJice an organisation
in our midst that is supposed to ba small
and uninfiueiitial. W« repeal, for the third
or fourth lime, that "ibis ia the extent ot

claiming that the vote of Georgia

cause for rejoicing* in (he anticipation of

the law was passed, providing for the choice
of P residential Elrclmt hy I he Leg'-Ltu/e
in Ihe event that no ticket received a clear
majority ol tbo popular vote, ihe Legisla
ture ol Georgia was elected and met annu
ally. Consequently, in Ibe year of a Pres
idential election, and only one month heforo
that election, it wsa coniemplated that the
people would elect the man here of the
Li'gitlaime with a view to thi* contingency.
Bui when tha change wsa udopti d, making
only biennial rlec'iuns of member* of ibe
Legislature, and providing for their election
un years dill, rent from those of the Pn-si-
den lal election, the previous law devolving
on the Legislators thus chosen thu contin
gent election of Presidential Electors was
overlooked and lell unshared. The im-Qi-
boia of ihe present Legislature ol Georgia
were chosen last year, without the s ighiest
reference to this Presidential question—
indeed, nine-lenlha of the people ol Georgia
were then totally oblivious of the existence
of such a law. We auy that it is anomalous
lo our pupulai-repreaei.tative system, and
that ita operation now would be an unlook-
ed-lor outrage on popular rights. Much an
outrage can be yel prevented either by the
resignation of the members of the LcguL
lure and new elections in view ol tin
question, or by each member elect pledging
I.mist'll lo be guided ill casting bis vote by
the vote of his county. Tho latter resort
would not he a full and perfect remedy in a
triangular coated, hut it would be better
than a contemptuous ignoring ol the pop
ular vote altogether. Let the poojdo of the
respective counties nuke up this issue be
tween themselves and their representatives
ill tho Legislature, and see to it that their
will ie resprcled in ihe choice of Presiden
tial Electors, as it certainly is intended lo
be by the theory of our Government. If
the memhere refuse toacc.de to either of
these demands, then (ha Legislature ia
packed agniuat Ibe people, and the Electoral
vote of Georgia is already "booked” lor
Breckinridge and Lane. But if ihe voice
of the people ia tu drtenniue this Presiden
tial question, w in iy yet ba enabled to aay

paper appears a communication from a very
late party associate of ours, who has re
cently gone over to the secession Democ
racy by uimself, for tbe side reason that he
could not carry our party with him; aud in
hia pronunciarneuto announcing his change
ol party relations he still uigea ua "mag
nanimously” to inerga our organization into
that of the little sacliona! squad with whoa#
fortunes he haa allied himself I The pro
position is of course utterly inadmuaible,
on account of both (he standing and the
cuvert designs of tbe accession party ; ai d
an uflVr of an aqual alliance ought to Lave

era made.
The Douglaa proposition ia a fairer one,
and though we are not prepared to advise
ita acceptance, we must aay that there is a
peculiar urgency, arising from the singular
asp-.ct of the Presidential question in Geor
gia, wbicb claims f»r it our sertojs consid
eration as a choice of evilt. We have
already declared that, <rt our opinion, tbe
choice ot the next Pre.idenlial Electors hy
the present Legislature of Georgia (elected
the memhere of that body were without
the slightest reference to this question)
w-iuld be an outrage upou our svamui
of representative-popular government, and
ought to ba prevented if il can be dom>
without a sacrifice of principle. Tint thu
supporter* of Bell and of Douglaa consti
tute a respectable majority of tbo volois of
G-orgia, we nave no doubt whatever. Bui
unleta one or the oilier of their Electoral
tickets can receive a clear majority of ell
thu votes caat, the election will <L-tu|ve un
a packed Legislature, which will choose the
Breckinridge E ectora. Il is to avert this
impending wrong that the proposition fur a
union Electoral ticket ia made, and tbe
question presented to ua ia. Would it ha an
improper or impolitic c nnproiniao ol prin
ciple lor the supporters of Bell and Evatell
to concede half the Electoral vole of Geor
gia to Douglaa and Johna4»n in considera
tion of our obtaining tba other ball 1 —the
allernauve prearnted being our certain loa*
of the whole unless we agree to the arrange
ment. We submit the question to the con-
•'deration of our friends, confiding in loth
their patriotism and ihair discretion, and
that there will he a general expression
