\j Mr. Editor : As an oM Mend and pat
ron of the Crhoniclt If Sentinel, but dif
fering widely with foa upon the issues now
before the oocntry, I respectfully ask a short
■pace in )w columns, in answer to the
question often propounded, « How can a Un
ion Whig support Pierce and King ?” and in
answering that question, 1 intend to dis
cuss it considerately, with no design to in
flict a wound upon any member of the Union
Party with whom I have hitherto acted, not
to reftsct in the least degree upon the integri
ty or patriotism of an honorable gentleman
whose position before the ertintty, at least
in the Eighth District, is pretty well known.
If I am asked, «€au you, as a Union
gistent with our jltiicipte to fertsirt him.
I hare assumed in foe progress of ay argu
ment from the intention «T the Georgia Un
ion Convention, thatjwfbrmer political al
liance or partyjMSMS Stas a sufficient reason
to withhold our support freoi the nomtoee,
provided he acqnienced^iii the adjustment
measures known'as the Compromise. In (he
address of members of Ceqgress yon - will
find, among whom was thgt'OT the illestri-
onsClay, that they expietoldlbeir determin
ation to support no man,irrespective of p arty,
who would refuse to abide by those meas
ures. That address will live as a standing .
memorial of the wisdom amfexpansive patri
otism of those meh who preferred country to
party, and' the happiness of this great people
to the main tain ance of party supremacy.— !
General Pierce then, bring a Democrat, is no |
reason why a Union Whig should hot sup- j
port him. But how does he stand upon the j
record? What are fee «* antecedents” of!

What is the history of the Union Party ?
Its origan is too recent, and its history too
strongly improved upmr the policy of the
connity for good, as 1 believe, to be so soon
forgotten. The Party wee composed of both
Whigs and Democrats, and in December,
I860, met in Milledgtille and made -vows to <
maintain the constitution and the integrity |
of the Government against the suicidal pol- |
icy of a party, respectable in number and |
talent, who, through a morbid patriotism, ;
aimed at the overthrow of the Government
and the destruction of the Union. All the

word and in doctrines” to the requisitions of
the Union party ? I ask you to examine the
records of both Houses of Congress, wheu a
member of either branch, and amidst one of
the darkest storms which ever arose athwart
our political sky, when was t raitklin Pierce
.aside from his votes for the reception of aboli
tion petitions, iu which you will find the
names of southern men also, where can you
find a speech or vote which is obnoxions to
the conservative people of our section ? But
cofoe down now immediately .to the Compro
mise. Has he approved them ? Docs he ap
prove : Not only docs he acquiestf, but lie
has and does approve. In Lis" letter in May
last, lie emphatically endorses and approves
the Compromise in its, totality, and our
tics of Pnrty were forgotten; questions of j Southern Rights 'friends, in the person of
administrative policy were burried ’midst
the rubbish of the past; and as Union men':
Franklin Pierce, are supporting one, who
no doubt if his letters and speeches are cx-
we met, wc acted, we enquired. Those men , j .orient ^ of his views, believes that the Com-
who sailed under no banner hut Southern j proIn j 80 measures were « wise l beral and
Rights, and that the manufacture of South Just.’ tt they can now swallow the pill
Carolina machinery at Nashville, were rout
ed, driven from every position, and scat
tered like partridges upon the mountains.—
In the first selection of a candidate, Howell
which nauseated their stomachs so much last
fall, what is that to us ? I say to them
n see thou to that.” General Pierce very
recently was called upon to. pay a tribute of
Cobb, one of the meet bitter, hitherto, and 1 ^ ect t o the memory efftr. Clay. Passing
uncompromising of the .Democratic party,!
was the first choice of the Party, not more so j
with the Democrats than Whigs. In all oar i
meetings, Whigs were the finst to propose the I
name of Howell Cobb to the Convention. Wc
knew that he had been, upon old questions,!
a democrat of the •« most strictest sect,”—a j
democrat of democrats. We heard every
where upon the stump declared, •< I have
been charged with deserting my party. 1
am still a democrat; I was brought up iii
that school.” But with all this, the Union
party, with a lalge majority of whigs, sup
ported him without a murmur or a « pro
test.”
But let us pass' on to the Convention of
April. It woe then determined that we
wonld take no action in relation to scuding
delegates to either the whig or democratic
conventions; that another convention be
in review of all the acts in the history of
that remarkable man, none, in his language,
were more to be admired or approved than
liis efforts to bring about the Compromise of
1850. In his letter of acceptance what marc
could he suy in order to express his. approv
al of the Compromise, than lie did say.—
He approved them not because <« it was ex
pected from him as the nominee, but.been use
it met the approval of his judgment.” These
expressions of opinion affirming and approv-
i ing the compromise, were some months an
terior to his nomination, when, as you say
in a late editorial, no one dreamed of Ids
being a candidate for president. Then with
all these facts will it be'inconsistcnt iu Un
ion Whigs to support him? As our own
choice then, Fellow-Whigs, the distinguished
-Chief-Magistrate of this Union, the model
President, one who has been fairly tried and
onglit.we not to vindicate him by choosing
between the two, and lend our aid in the
overthrow of that party and men who have
caused his overthrow ? As sure as the elec
tion shall come, General Scott or Franklin
Pierce will be the next President of the U-
nited States, can we hesitate one moment iu
making this choice ?
.( Fiat jmtitia ruat ccplwn—.”
But I find that I have trespassed new too
long, I will reserve until my next, the bal
ance of what I intended to say in relation to
called after both conventions shall have met! proved faithful, as he lias been repudiated
and made their nominations, for the pur-
]>ose of considering said nominations, and
for the purpose of taking such action in re
lation to the presidential election as shall
be deemed proper.” Now, sir, 1 do not say
that the foregoing action o.f the convention
committed us to the support of either of the
nominees, only so far as is expressed in the
resolution preceding: That «the .'Union
party will not give its support to any can
didate for the office of President and Vice
President, unless the convention nominating
the candidates shall declare its acquiescence,
in the measures of Congress known as the
Compromise, and its determination to consid
er these measures a final adjustment of the
matters embraced in- them.” The inquirer
after the meaning and true in tent of the Res
olution, I take it, will find simply : Should
the Whig Convention fail to acquiesce in
those measures, and should the Democratic
Convention take its position in their favor,
we will support the Democratic nournce—
and vice versa. And can it be denied that
„he Convention intended, at its adjourned
meeting or the member? that composed it, to
deerde between the two candidates os pre
sented by the two conventions, provided they
offulddO so without the sacrifice' of their
principles ? After the acquiescence in the
compromise by both Conventions, (Admitting
foal both’ have,) Wlmt had we to do but sup
port that nomiiKe whose life and principles
especially in connection with the Compromise
question, best illustrated the conservatism
of those principles—then if neither of the
nominees came up to that standard, look,
elsewhere for exponents of our principles who
would maintain them ? But how does the
matter stand ? W hat does the record show ?
We all know that Mr. Fillmore mas the man
of our choice, above and v oyqnd all others.
Hope rested upon the Convention with joy
ous expectation that'we could have the sat-
isfieotion of testifying to him, and the coun
try at large, the confideaoe which the Union
Marty of Georgia have in his statesmanship
and patriotism: But, instead if showing it
self deferential to the united voice of the
South, and the appeals from the conserva
tive People at all sections, we weropteasrih-
ed, insulted* and spit uyam by that Conven
tion,; and the froe-soil influence of Seward
and his crew foisted upon the Convention on»
who never held (tho' of the south,) one sin
gle principle in unison-with our own. After
such a nomination, what care wo for its
platform? Who of them ever intend to
abide by it, or require its enforcement ?—

in establishing foe tow it did to reference
to the traffic in ardent spirits, the State of
Maine tot ah exariple which the friends of
arid order seek to -have carried out in
Slate of this JUgion. Already sucli
efforts have been commenced. Two or three
States have followed the example thus giv
en, and in all the rest the subject will soon!
er or later be agitated, and sooner or later
will the people, either directly or through
their representatives, be called ou to meet
tbe question of «'License or no Lieerisc;”
Tbe question will be pressed, and wiii have
to be met.
It will be presented so that it cannot be
dodged if he would, and ought not if we
could. The question will be put on its own
merits, and urged by calm, dispassionate,
arid able minds. A thousand tongues and
pens, trill be found in its advocacy, while a
few pens, and ten thousand tongues will be
found in opposition. Judging from the Signs
of the times, it must come—it will come—
and foe sooner we all prepare to take our
stand the better.
We have been wirtching the « signs of the
times” for months and for years. We no
ticed this i.- little cloud” when it first rose
«in the East.” It was small—it promised
but little—yet it has spread, and spread,
until it has been foe joy of thousands, and
the terror of tens of thousands. It will soon
be over us here in the West. It is time-for
us all to be casting about, examining -the
ground, and settling in our minds what
course wc arc to pursue.
For one^our mind is made up. We will
vote << no license,” and now proceed to give
our «* platform,” and though it may not be
as popular as the Baltimore or Buffalo plat
forms, it is as sound as either. We will
vote «« No License,” because.
1. We believe the several States have as
much Constitutional right to legislate on
this as on any other subject affecting*public -
interests and public morals.
2. Wc believe that where the traffic in ar
dent spirits is restrained by law, there will
be Jess temptation to drink, late drunken,
ness, less crime, less suffering, end less mis-
ery. '
That all these, and more, have been caused
by the free use of ardent spirits jm> sanemau
will deny. Whoever examines foe subject
attentively, with the necessary lights before
him, must be convinced of the following
facts
1. That in the twenty years last past, ar
dent spirits has cost the people of these Uni
ted States, indirectly, a sum of money equal
to the expense of the civil arid diplomatic
list of the goYcrment.
2 It has destroyed hundreds of thousands
of human lives.
3. H has sent hundreds of thousands of
people, many of whom were innocent and
honest, to the poor house.
4. It has consigned hundreds and thou
sands of others to jails and penitentiaries.
5. It has made some thousands of mant
is. •
6. It has led to the commission of thou
sands of murders, and thousands of suieides.
7. It Las made hundreds .at thousands of
widows end piilions ef orphans.

taut from the walks of virtuous life, for foe
sole jmrpose of corrupting, poisoning foe
healthy, impoverishing the rich, entraping
the unwary, severing the strongest ties- of
friendships, and causing wretchedness and
ruin among all who could be-brought under
its influence.”
It has obstructed the operations of justice,
by blinding the eyes of voters at popular
elections and perverting the judgments of
judges and jurors.
9. It.lias instigated numberless thefts and
robberies, and excited private feuds apd
public quarreLs. We will therefore vote
A’o Idee tse.
Further—All alcoholic liquors contain a
slow but certain poison, arid are sure to de
range the human system.
Drunkenness is the besetting sin iu tins
nation, and drunkenness leads to idleness,
and idleness to greater drunkenness, and
then drunkenness leads ou to almost say
and every species cf crime; to poverty,
wretchedness, death and hell. We .there
fore vote “ No License.”
Once .more. For the sake of tbe poor; and
the rich, and for'our own sake, we want foe
public-taxes diminished as low as are con
sistent with the interests of the State, ami
feel safe in saying that but for the evils pro
duced by tbe free use of ardent- spirits, the'
expenses of courts, jails, prisons, &c., would
be greatly lessened. Hence, we vote JVo
License:
Moreover, the Bible says, .« wine is a nt3c-
ker, and strong drink is ragirig, and woe to
him that putteth the bottle to his. neighbor’s
month,” &c.; and when spirits are retailed
for foe purpose of being used as a common-
beverage under the sanction of.foe legisla
ture, it becomes a grave question wtiMfrer
the Legislature is not to some extent, parti-
ceps crimini—therefore we vote JVo ti
ff e will vote “ No License,” because we
desire that temptation may be removed from
our children; because total abstinence has
done-much good wherever practised,and nev
er did any harm. Awl finally, because Pa
triotism, Philanthropy, BeneTolerito, Reli
gion, and every thing else that is good and*
sacred, requires ns to do all foe good we can*
by prompt end example, and we are satisfied
that foe only way by which many drunk
ards can be cured, is by removing the object'
of their vitiated taste.—St. Louis C. Ad
vocate.
