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.

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.— !

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.

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 ?— Does he, himself, do it ?

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. “ It pas caused "in 8. ■hfriiii* , ii..|' I I i’ lfllH.... 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.
