The call for the Con ventions of the 17th and 18th, and the re sponse made to those calls by the Union Whigs throughout the State, and in some portions of the State approximating una nimity of sentiment among them, were well calculated to prepare the public mind for the recent action of those bodies. It can not be diguised that the great mass of the whig party, have thus withdrawn them selves from the Union organization, and have laid the foundation for the re-organi zation of the whig party in our State, if in deed, that yesult may not be regarded as al ready consumated. This state of things leaves the Constitutional Union Party in the hands of the Union Demociacy and those Union Whigs who are determined to give their votes and support to the Nation al Democratic nominees. Whether there yet remains in the organization a majority or ;g,pt of its original members, is a problem we will.not attempt to solve. The mere expression of a doubt upon that point is suf ficient to justify the couse we have felt it our duty to pursue in the matter. The undersigned were appointed an Ex ecutive Committee, by the late Union Con vention, and from their position have not been inattentive observers of the events to which we have now called the public at tention; nor have we failed to inform our shall assemble we shall know in what spirit our movements for eoncilliation and com promise will be received by the friends and supporters of the Electoral Ticket now in the field. It will afford to them an op portunity of their meeting with our friends, either through the recognized organ of their party, or otherwise, and uniting, if needs be, in a common council, to effect a common and equally desirable to all sin cere friends of the cause we are seeking to advance. In any event, it is due to ouselves and to the success of our principles, and due to the position which we occupy before the coun try, that we should come together and de termine upon such a line of policy as will most cordially unite our friends, and most certaiuly give advancement to our cause.

The burthen of the world’s old song, Must have its share of truth, That the most honored life and long, Was happier in youth. It is not only memory’s cheat That prompts the heart’s deep sigh, When, mid prosperity’s defeat, We think of days gone by. A feeling lost, we know not what, Sweet, because undefined, Replaced by knowledge sadly got, The cancer of the mind; A glory on the youthful head, A brightness in the eye, Hues of our native heaven are fled Among those days gone by. Yet, O my friends, if this be sooth, Yet faint not, but be sure The vanished freshness of your youth Was ignorant not, pure. Heaven’s glories may again be won, And, streaming from on high, As after moonset comes the sun, Outshine the days gone by. POLITICAL Address of the Executive Committee To the Constitutional Union Party of Georgia. The Constitutional Union Party of Geor gia was organized to maintain the decision of the Georgia Convention of 1850, in fa vor of the finality of the Compromise. That object has ueen accomplished, and the mem bers of the party have the satifaction of re alizing the complete triumph of their prin ciples, as exhibited in the action of two National Conventions, which recently as sembled at Baltimore, and in the addition al fact, that there now exists in Georgia no organized opposition to those principles. Under these circumstances, when the late Union Convention assembled in Milledge- ville, it was the opinion of a large number of that body, that the time had arrived, when there should be a peaceful dissolution of the party, in consideration of the fact, that the necessity for its existence no long er continued. A different policy, however was adopted under the delusive hope that the organization could be continued and its integrity preserved, by the support of the democratic nominees for President and Vice President. The convention had scarcely adjottrned, when demonstrations of opposition toits action, by the entire Un ion Whig Press of the State, indicated too clearly that that portion of the party whose sentiments and feelings were made known through these channels, was irreconcilably opposed to the decision of the Convention, and would never yield even an acquies day, and fancy yourself already in Para dise. A good plan is to call on the object of your affections in the forenoon; propose a walk, mamma consents, in the hope you will de clare your intentions. Wander through the green fields: talk of “love in a cottage,” “re quited attachment,” and “rural felicity.” If a child happens to pass, of course intimate your fondness for the “dear little creature” Address —this will be a splendid hit. If the coast Of a Portion of the Executive Committee is clear, dewn you must fall upon your knee, to the Union Democracy and Union right or left for there is no rule as to this, Whig friends of Pierce and King. j and swear never to rise till she agrees to In common with the other members of' ta ^ e Y ou << ^ or better or worse.” If, however, J the Executive Committee of the Constitu tional Union Party, we have formally an nounced the dissolution of that partjq and withdrawn its electorial ticket. This state of things presents an important question for the consideration and decision of the Union Democracy of the State, and those Union Whigs who stand identified with us in the support of the National Democratic Nomi nees. Determined to give our support to the grass is wet, and you have white panta loons on, or if your trowsers are tightly made, of course you must pursue another plan. Vow most solemnly, and even swear you will blow your brains out, or swallow arsenic, or drown yourself, if she wont say “Yes.” If you are at a ball and your charmer is there; captivating all around her, occasion ally casting a sly glance to see how you take O K p' vy 1 v ov • t the election of Pierce and King, and sin- [ ^ S ct her into a corner and pop the ques cerely anxious so to cast our votes and ex ert our influence, as will best insure, not on ly their success in the present election, but the effective support of their administra tion, in the event of their election—a re sult not to be doubted—we are now called upon to consider in what manner this can be done, most consistent with our feelings and principles. It is not for us to decide that question; our official character ceased with the party whose organ we had been appointed. But indentitied in feeling and principles with those to whom we make this address, we feel anxious that there should be union and cordiality of action, in whatever course may be adopted. Indeed, this is necessary to give power and efficien cy to our action. To secure the vote of Georgia, to Pierce and King, over all oppo sition arrayed against them, is the para mount consideration; There ' can be no doubt that a very decided majority of the people are agreed in thenecessity and pro priety of so casting the vote of the State. But it cannot be diguised that there exist difficulties in the way of a warm and cor dial co-operation of all the friends of Pierce and King, which threaten to weaken their strength, and lessen the moral power and influence which, under other circumstances, would be attained by united action. We do not regard these difficulties as insupera ble, however formidable they may appear at the first glance. They will be found to grow smaller & less obstinate as approached in the spirit of true patriotism and devotien to the great end sought to be accomplished. We now appeal to the Union Democracy and those Union Whigs, who are for Pierce and King, to meet together in council, and there determine, in the spirit which we have sought to invoke, what ought to be, and shall be, our future course of policy. We suggest and propose that this meeting shall take place at Atlanta, ON SATUR DAY THE 18TH of SEPTEMBER next. It will not be necessary to go through with the formality of county meetings. We doubt not that a sufficient number of our friends can be assembled there at that time, from the different sections of the State, fa miliar with the sentiments of the people on the subject, and as fully empowered to speak for them as they would be, if appointed by a county meeting, composed as is usually the case, of a very few persons compared with the voters of the county who favor the movement. By the time that this proposed meeting tion. Some delay until after supper, but delays are dangerous. A young lady’s tears, when accepting you mean only “I’m too happy to speak.” The dumb-show of staring in each other’s faces squeezing fingers and sighing, originated, we have reason to believe, with the ancient Romans.

The fact is whenever you hear the j word “friendship” pronounced upon an oc casion so critical, you had just as well “save your wind to cool your soup.” Owldom, June 10. BEN BOLT. Heath-Bed Repentance. As a general thing we have but little faith in death-bed repentances, and think a man’s hope of heaven exceedingly slim when he hangs it on that contingency alone. They are some times, however, very salutary in their influences, if not on the victim who is about to be launched into eternity, at least to some living person whom he has wrong ed. Such an instance has but recently come under our observation. Rev. J. R. Dan- forth, of our village, some two years since, was robbed by some person or persons un known, of his pocket-book, containing some three or four hundred dollars, and sundry valuable papers, at the Monroe Camp ground, where he was in attendance on a Campmeeting, and until within a few days past he had received no tidings of it, and had given up all hopes of ever recovering it again. On Wednesday evening of last week, however, he received a letter from a Reverand gentleman, in Forsyth, stating that a negro belonging to some person in Jones county had confessed on his death bed that he had stolen the money, but that it was in such large bills he was afraid to attempt to pass them, and he therefore en closed them together with the papers in a tin box and placed them in the keeping of some free negroes in Monroe county where he said the owner could get them by apply ing for them. Mr. Danforth immediately leftheie to attend to the matter, but at the time of our going to press we had not heard the result of his mission. This is a death bed repentance to some purpose to Mr. Danforth. We congratulate him on this unexpected windfall, and hope thatall death bed repentances may lead to such beneficial results.—Literary Vademecum. To the Ordinaries of the Several Counties In Georgia. The Jfieaih of Mr. Rantoul•—The Na tional Intelligencer, in .recording the death of the Hon. Robert Rantoul, Jr. says : Mr. Rantoul was in hisseafc in the House on Tuesday last, the 3d inst. At that time he appeared to be in usual. health, with the exception of what he considered to be a small bile upon his forehead. On Wed nesday morning the little sore was surroun ded by erysipelqus inflamafcion, in conse quence of which he was prevailed upon to remain in his room and procure medical advice. Thursday the decease seemed to be entirely arrested, and on Friday morning he felt very much better, and spoke con fidentlv of returning in a day or two to his duties in the House. On Friday eve ning he became mveh worse; the eresipe- Jas spread over the entire face, and his was evidently affected. On Satuiday evening the left side became paralytic, after which he sank rapidly, and expirod about half past 10 o’clock, P. M. A Toast.—At the celebration of the 4th at Port Jervis, the following sentiment was given by Joseph Gobson: Intemperance.—The great Railroad from Respectability to Ruin, Mankind the only Freight, the Devil its Superintendent, the Boaab of Excise its Directors, Rumsellers its Engineers and conductors, Tippling Shops its Cars, Distilleries Locomotives, Prisons and Insame Asylums its Depots and Sta tion-houses, its Track built on broken hearts and ruined fortunes. With the help of a just God and the Maine Law, we’ll annul the Charter, discharge the Engineers and Conductors, reverse the steam and save the freight. °m. Letter from the Postmaster General. Postoffice Department, aug 17. To the Editor of the Union : Sir : Please caution the public, through your paper, against the use of wax seals on letters which are to be transmitted across the Isthmus, either to or from the Pacific. Gentlemen:—The acts of the last Legis lature, relating to the office which you now hold, also devolved upon you the responsi ble duty of superintending the education of the poor. I take it for granted that you feel a deep interest in this part of the trust confided to you, and therefore take the lib erty of addressing ou thus publicly. Although, as was foreseen by the more experienced, the action of the Convention held in Marrietta last Summer, has not re sulted in the adoption of a system of pub lic instruction for the State, yet it is mani fest that the cause has received a great im pulse. It has been thought of and discuss ed more generally, and a more intelligent and abiding interest has been awakened And yet it is evident that our work is but just begun. There is required some tangi ble shape in which the public interest may find practical expression. The present law which is but a modification of the law of 1843, “for the education of the poor,” is all our Legislature has vouchsafed to grant us towards this important work. And as it comes so far short of securing the end pro posed, we may safely consider the question of public instruction as still an open ques tion in this State. I am not disposed light ly to disregard the deliberate action of the Legislature, whatever my opinion may be of the ultimate value of that action itself. It appears to me, therefore, that the friends of universal education ought, in good faith, to try if the system now existing is capable of effecting the end proposed. If it be so, then let all our energies be bent towards giving it favor and efficiency. If it be not, then we ought to propose and insist upon such modifications as will compass the end. Your experience under this law will very soon bring to light some very serious prac tical difficulties in carrying out its provis ions. Some of these might be obviated, in part, at least, by the united counsel and co-operation of the friends of popular edu cation, especially such as have experience in this matter. It seems to me, therefore, that another Convention of such persons, for the purpose of mutual consultation and aid, would be productive of general good. Let us remember that this is the work of time, and that any valuable result must be the fruit of much and long continued thought, and counsel, and zeal. I suggest likewise that the Ordinaries themselves attend as delegates, if practica ble, and that they also nominate atleast one suitable person from their respective coun ties, who will attend and take part in these deliberations. Or,' if they prefer it, to pro cure a meeting in the county for appoint ing suitable delegates. It would at least be of great advantage to the cause, if pub lic meetings were held, and the whole sub ject discussed before the people. There is an important practical question connected with the whole subject, which 1 am anxious to solve, prepartory to the pro posed Convention. To enable me to do so satisfactorily, some statistical information is required, for which I beg permission to ap ply to the Ordinary of each connty. Will you please to inform me, by letter, as near ly as possible, what was the number of schools of all grades taught in your county during the last year ? What was the num ber of pupils taught? And what was the amount of bills paid for their tuition ? I am aware that it will subject you to some labor to ascertain these facts, but I trust your zeal in the good cause will not only procure me this information, but your par don also for asking it at your hands. Perhaps I ought to apologize for assum ing so grave a responsibility as these sug gestions indicate. I would gladly have consulted with those gentlemen who so kindly united with me in this matter the The postmaster of San Francisco reports, under date of 15th July, that “then [then] last mail from New York contained a large . fc y ea [> but circumstances have made it number of letters thus sealed, which [ow- ^practicable^ If therefore, any apology A Beatiful Prayer.—Lord, bless and preserve that dear person whom thou hast chosen to be my husband: let his life be long and blessed, comfortable and holy; and let me also become a great blessing and comfort unto him, a sharer in all his joys, a refreshment in all his sorrows, a meek help er for him in all the accidents and chances of the world; make me amiable forever in his eyes, and very dear to him.

I feel gratified, gentlemen, at this unex pected call, and am glad to see before me the accredited men of Mississippi. The nomination which has been conferred upon me by the Convention of which you were members, is an honor greater than I de serve, and whether defeated or-elected, I shall always regard it as the highest compli ment which could be bestowed upon me, and as more than repaying me for the little service I have rendered ray country. I am well pleased too, gentlemen, with the plat* form you have adopted—it meets with my hearty and cordial approval; and let me as sure you, gentlemen, this is not a new-born faith with me. Years ago I entertained the same sentiments expressed in that-platform, on the subject of Southern rights. I can as sure you that Iwas one of the first to give in my hearty and cordial approval and en dorsement of those measures, when they were before Congress. There were bni two others ahead of mein point of time, in the advocacy and approval of those measures. I mean Mr. Clay and Senator Foote of your State. As early as 1850; when first brought before Congress, I openly avowed myself the friend of the measures, and then and since, as many I think on an average of five limes a day, have I openly and public ly declared my sentimeuts to every man, woman and child who has approached me on the subject. I have not sought nor have I desired any concealment of my views and opinions in reference to them, and it is a matter of extreme astonishment to me, that my sentiments have so grossly misrepresen ted and that I have been made the subject of such unjust and malicious slaude*. Jdy name has been coupled with that of Mr. William H. Seward, and I have been char ged with entertaining sentiments in com • mon with him, in reference to Southern In stitutions. Nothing can be more unjust and false. It is true, I am personally ac quainted with Mr. Seward, and that he is personally my friend; bnt I am not respon sible for his peculiar sentiments; nor those any other man who may see proper to sup port me, and no man living knows better than he, what my opinions are ami always have been. I made his acquaintance some time in ’36 or ’7. I had not met him, or corresponded with, or inter-changed com munications with him, however, during the interval from '42 to ’50. In the latter year, during the pending of the Compromise measures before Congress, I met with him in travelling through- New Jersey. He approached me upon the sub ject of those measures, and asked my opin ion in reference thereto. J replied, to him in those words: “I am dead for the Consti tution—dead for the Union—dead for the Compromise—and dead against any man who is opposed to them or either of them.” The language used by myself on that occa sion, was so positive and emphatic, that in alluding to it since—for he well remembers the conversation—he has even charged me with rudeness.” General Sgott proceeded: “I have seen some service in the cause of our common country, and am now advanced in life. I have endeavored to gain at least a name for uprightness and candor; and I challenge the world to produce a single wit ness, who would be believed in a court of justice, who will say that I have ever, by thought, word, or deed, said or done any thing to justify the misrepresentations that have been made as to my sentiments and opinions, or that they have been otherwise than as expressed to you here this day. If any such man can be found, let him be brought forward, and I am willing that my past life and services shall be forgotten, and that the word infamous shall be written be fore and after my name.” QfT “Gentlemen of the jury,” said a Ho sier lawyer, addressing a real shell-bark jury. “I say that are magnanimous sun shines in the heavens though you can’t see it kase its behind a cloud; but you know it, though I can’t prove it; so my client who rises airly and hunts coons, like an honest copies, which commenced as usual, man, has a good case, though he can’t prove it. Now, if you believe what I tell you about the sun, you are bound on your bible oaths to believe what I tell you about my client’s case; and if you don’t, then you call me a liar, and that I’ll be squataw’d if I’ll stand any how. So, if you don’t wan’t to swear false and have no truble, you’d bet ter give us our case.” Mrs. Townsend, at her lecture, said that ninety nine men out of every hundred in New York, believe that two thirds of the human race are going to perdition, and yet among all in that city, she says, there is not one who believes that he 1* going there himself. A young widow in New Orleans being asked after her husband’s health, answered smiling: “He is dead, I thank yon.” Arrest.—Some years ago, in a country not a hundred miles from here a small sized man went to the plantation of a gentleman who was light in wit, but rather heavy in flesh, with a piece of paper in his hand, fold ed in a form, and known by the abbrevia tion of ca sa. Having found the owner of the plantation in the field, he explained his business, when he was requested to read the * . 7" .7 “■£*>£; are hereby commanded, without delay, to take the body of,” &c. “Humph,” says the prisoner, stretching himself on his back, “I am ready.” “Oh, but you don’t expect me to carry yon in my arms?” “Certainly, you must take my body, you know, I do not resist the process of the law, understand, but submit with much cheerful ness ” “Will you wait until I bring a cart?” “Can’t promise, I may recover from fa tigue in the mean time.” “Well, what must I do?” “You must do your duty.” And here he lay immovable until the sheriff left, when he left also. ‘Industry must prosper,’ as the man sa 1 ^ when holding the baby, while his wife choP* ped wood. Oh, Poetree! oh Poetri.—Some “rising genius,” the Hartford Review, after cudgel ling his poor brains for four days and nights* “got off” the following: “Long is the morn that brings no eve; tall is the corn that no cob leaves; blue is the sky that never looks yellow; hard is the apple that never grows mellow; bnt longer and bluer and harder and tall, is my old lady love—my adorable Poll.” Origin of the Phrase Catching a Tartar. —In some battle between the Russians and Tartars, who are a wild sort of people in the North of Asia, a private soldier called out, “Captain, halloo therel I’ve caught a Tar tar.” “Fetch him along, then!” Replied the Captain. “Aye, but he wont let me!” said the man; and the fact was the Tartar had caught him. So, when a man thinks to take another in and gets bit himself, they say, “he caught a Tartar.” “Mother,” said Jemima Spry to her ven erable maternal relative, “Sam Flint wants to come courting me to-night.” “Well, yon jade, what did you tell hi«? “Oh, I told him he might come; I wanted to see how the fool would act! n Polly Ticks is engaging the attention of our young men to the exclusion of many favorite belle.
