It was clearly an act of unauthorised usurpation; and what is worse, it was exercised withoutnonsuiting the electors themselves, but at the instiga tion (as we believe) of two or three leading politicians, who having an eye to the 5a- tienal Democracy, were anxious to make a great show of pacification, and who would- not scrapie to sacrifice their friends at home, and the whole party which had sustained them, in order that they m g'.it.remove an teheed obstacle to the success o( the De mocracy, and who were actuated, in reality, by nothing but selfish moti >'es. These men are trying to establish a reputation as dis interested patriots, great national concilia tors, wonderfully devoted to the suocess of the party—so much so that they are willing to do anything.

We have sold the establishment to Capt; Wm. T. Wofford, who will hereafter take exclusive control of the editorial department. He is known to moat ofour readers, and it would be useless to say a word for him—and we therefore cheerfully commend him to the support of the patroRS of the Standard. As this withdrawal on our part is so sud- tlon, we feel bound to give our readers the reasons which have induced it. It grew out of the existing difficulties between tbe friends of Pierce and Kiug, in regard to an electo ral ticket. Having been a delegate to the Atlauta Convention, and feeling bound by the action of that body, we insisted that we could support no ticket ie opposition to thp regular democratic ticket now .before the country. Many of onr personal friends, who had assisted in building up this paper —-and who had-placud ps under personal ob ligations which we could aot disregard, dif fered with us, aud warmly insisted that it was our duty, as well os our interest to sup port the Union Pierce and King ticket, which has been nailed to ttte mast-head te- day. But much os wc respected -their opin ions, we could not feel tbe force of their argument. Because we believed- that the time had come when the democracy should be xe-unitud, and .march in solid column to the support of our candidates and our prin ciples; aud that all irregular movements were calculated to weaken rather .than strengthen the cause of Pierce and King. Our friends honestly thought differently, and ns they had been so efficient in their support of the Standard, wc felt constrain ed to tender tbe office to them; we offered it for sale, and our friend Capt. Wm. T. Wof ford has become tbe purchaser. May he bo-more successful than we have been in catering to the taste of the kind patrons of the Standard, and w.e pray that ho may, never havo to pass through what wo have within the past two weeks. Patrons all—farewell—it is a bitter w$rd —but we must say it. You have, been kind many of you. You have borne with ail our faults and shortcomings from the day we started the Standard until now. May the blessings of Heaven reward you, and may wo never see the day when our heart shall be so seared as to forget your .kindness. And now for tiie last farewell, as we shall probably, never greet you again in the col umns of tho Standard. Farewell.

We think these gentlemen have gone a little, toe far, they have lost sight of the fact that tbe Union party is the true national party, and that the principles and platform of the Un ion party were recognized and adopted by the.Nation.il Democratic party. To have assumed a true national attitude, therefore, the proper course was to hold to the Union' party, and promote its ascendancy, and to liave avoided, any and every.position at all calculated to place a party in power who were the known aud qpen opposers of the Union and. of tbe Compromise. To tif Frieodi of the Union, On the 15th day of July last,* the Union party metinCbnTentien in Milledjjeville for tuepurpose of deciding uponthe course to be pursued by the party in relation to the Pre sidential question. The result was a detar nation by a majority of the delegates to support Gen. Pieros, bo being regarded least objectionable to the South. To this action, thus deliberately taken by the representa tives of the party, every true Union mm was bound in good faith to agree. The Con vention having thus determined, an electo ral ticket was chosen which it will be re membered was received end placed at the mast-head of aost of the Union Presses, and ought to have remained and been supported by the party. But because a few were dis satisfied with the ticket; or rather with the decision taken by the party in the Presiden tial question, the Executive Committee with out scarce a semblance of authority took down the Union electoral tteket, and called a mass meeting df the democracy in Atlan ta for the purpose of compromising with the fire-eaters. In this latter move they were encouraged by certain of the Southern Rights electors, aud made to believe that no diffi culty existed in the way of a fair and liber- al.adjustment of the whole matter. But what was the result ? They were basely betrayed by-'the Southern Rights party, and when they arrived in Atlanta on the 18th inst.—the dime set apart for the treaty of amity—-there was not a corporal’s guard of the’Southern Rights party present with whom to consult. The effect of this base betrayal on their part, instead of arousing the indignation of every Union man present, with only a few except.ons, completely hu miliated and subdued that, and they shame fully determined ta. wfier no obstacle to the fire-eaters, and in a manner most humiliating and what appeared to us a yielding of all self-respect, they bowed their necks to the yoke of the tyrants. We are proud to say that we were among the exceptions alluded to who were unwilling to make this shame ful sacrifice; and with the aid and advice of a few sterling friends, the ticket was chosen which we this day place,at the head ef our columns, and we sail upon eveiy true Union man to stand by the principles of the party and come up to the support of this ticket. It isa good ticket, and eas to whaeh then can be no olyeetion raised. It is oorngsgsd of true and triad men seen of talent, of in fluence and weight, and in all of whom ws can place the utsaoet iiufidmrn at the ballet box.

Friend Rogers has our best wishes for his eminent success. at proscription under the screw of a presi- dentiaf election. Thousands-of Union Dem ocrats and wings are burning with indigna tion at the arrogance of thesCcession faction, and desire to vote for the National Democratic nominees for President and Vice President in amanner congenial to their, rights and feelifigs as freemen. This ticket will afford them the desired opportunity. We are per suaded that the people of the fifth and sixth Congressional distrusts will give it their support in spite of tho opposition or lnlce- warmness of some who are willing to sur render to thc secession faction. It will also meet Abe approval of others in almost every county in Georgia. The single question to he put to every just and honorable!' member of the' party, is whether we h$re asked what.is right i n . in sisting upon a compromise ticket i It we have, and it was wrong in the. other divis ion of thc party to.refuse to accede to this demand, should we submit to the wrong ? Justice, equality, mutual concession among men are, we repeat, the only possible basis of party re-union, and it must be accorded to them, or they will nobly peril everything in the attempt to maintain it. 1 LOOD. s, of Elbert.

Repelled and repulsed on both sides, thc Constitutional Union democrats will still hold the balance of power between the two great parties of the State; andwe ask, can any one doubt that thus repulsed and rejected, they will re-organize and re form themselves into a party again, though they may know thty will ««rt largety in thc minority l - Of this there can be no more doubt than that two and two nuke four.

The attempt made by a small portion of tbe Union democrats recently assembled at Atlanta to surrender tbe great body- of their Union Democratic bretbern to the dominion of the secession faction, imparts to the above question a grave and absorbing interest. In characterising tbe proceedings at Atlanta as a surrender to wrong and oppression, to which no freeman should think, for a mo ment, of submitting, wc are borne out by the whole history of the transaction. 1. The very object-for'.which the meeting was ealied, ns indicated in the card of the Union Exeeutive Committee who called it, Was to re-unite the two divisions of the dem ocratic party of Georgia m>on the sole basis of “ conciliation and. Compromise.” The words of the committeeiare, <« By the time that this proposed meeting shall assemble we shall know In What spirit our movements for conciliation and compro mise will be received by the.friends and sup porters of the Electoral teiket now in the field.' Evidently alluding to the proposition which had just been made in.thc letter of Govern or Cobb for a re-organization of die -electo ral ticket in such a manner as that both di visions Of the party might be fairly repre sented upon H, and leaving the palpable in ference upon every rational mind, that ta- less this just and reasonable proposition should be aeoeeded to mi the other aide, the Union democrats should pot forth on electo ral ticket to which they might rally in vin dication of their rights and honog. The failure Pnt up a Union democratic ticket after the offer for a compromise ticket had beta rejected, was, therefore, not the feast to which Union democrats were invited at Atlanta. ^Unless we greatly underrate both their spirit and their good jgose, they will to the conclusion to pocket the wrong, and j Ventfon'a^ainst the united valowof the whole' either to vote for.those who inflicted it, or to , delegation present from Cherokee place the great body of their political j The ptot'vrhs friends nnder the moral necessity of doing , among liiC fri sol Instead of carrying out thc noble max- ^ im of Gen.

It was act until thc 18th that thc whole plot, in all its base enormity, became fully developed^* The Chatham delegation, with a.few prose lytes, crime as the opponents of an i which they opstinately refuse to remodel upon the principle of compromise or mutu al concession, the only principle of party re-union that can be tolerated by freemen. • From the Marietta Union. * STRIKE ! BUT'LISTEN ! We are proud ofthc name of Union Dem ocrat. We have stood, by the principles of thc Union Democracy from first to last— from the calling of the first'Nashville con vention, to the period of their adoption by the Nationaal Democratic party. We have earnestly desired a reorganization of the democratic party of Georgia ou the basis of the national p.atfottn. and were prepared to give such an organization <kir humble-««p- port and co-operation. The effort has failed. The Union democrats of Georgia have fail ed. to organize—and the Southern Rights organisation has been preserved, and in pursuance of the plan of a majority of the recent Convention, oilers the medium through which union democrats arc permitted to cast their votes for Pierce and King. To this we will never submit. Our )ium- ble ambition bas not been fixed upon tbe White ftouse at Washington, nor upon any office which demands this sacrifice ef princi ple. Let no one say that the sacrifice re quired is not deep, damning and infamous. Is it not enough that the Southern Rights organization has been preserved and ours, founded npon the principles of the National democracy, dissolved ? Must we enquire what arc the principles preserved in the Southern Rights organization of Georgia to know the extent of the sacrifice required ? It is said the electors are pledged to vote for Pierce and King. Is the party not pledged to a Southern Congress—to resistance to the Compromise—to Southern co-operation in the restoration <1 of our Constitutional rights or Southern Independence ? To the right of peaceable secession, and to the declaration^ that a sufficient cause exists to justify the exercise of the right ? And wliat havo they done to cancel. these pledges ? Have they avowed their efror—have they declared that the Union democrats were right and they wrpng ? Or' have they only submitted to the will of the majority until they can re verse the deeision of that majority ? Not a sacrifice of principle to support the Southern Righto organization of Georgia-! Why eve ry principle which we hold dear is demand echos a sacrifice} and what do they-concede in return—why the vote of Georgia to Fiejrce and King. Would the result justify tiie sacrifice ? Let us see. Ter get the ascen dancy in Georgia, Southern Rights men are willing to vote for Pierce and King. The sacrifice to them is trifling compared with there ward. They preserve their disunion organization, and when the election m over, find'it stronger than ever, with the sacrifice of a single principle. They simply vote for Pierce and Kiag> as a choice of evils, in tently looking forward to tke success of their Southern-organization /or Southern co-operation. We, on the other hand in Georgia, in uniting with them, are required to sacrifice every principle—to recognise, in future the Southern Rights party as the true democratic party, and Its principles-as our principles—and, perhaps, at some fn- To obviate any difficulty, (it will be re membered) tho Executive committee did Mt wish regular!) n) pointed delgatcs to be sent to the Convention. It, was desirable that a few only should attend, and those few, it was forsecn, would bo those most deeply in terested in their own political fortunes.— Thus-the plot-was admirably matured far thc act of infamous treachery which H con templated. The Union Democrats of Chatham are few in number compared with the Wbigp or Southern Rights men of that county. They labored under strong temtathm to barter away their principles, and it is not ing, when we consider the fmijty of tttoh table*'" were, subdued, We would not have plained of them, or said a word - about them, ’ if they bad not called this Contention, and bad remained at home, confining to some thing like obscurity, their filthy •< wallow ing in the mire.” But to have invited Un ion men of Cbrepkee Georgia, in sufficient numbers to admit of their being outvoted, to unite with them in sacrificing, not only thicir principles of a lafgts majority of onr people, was a proceeding as infamous as ita conception, as any thing which ever catena ted from the brain of a demagogue. )fe charge this upon the Chatham Union democrats. They only, before the meeting of the Convention, had i-esolved to support t!i 6 Southern High s ticket—and they only, after its adjournment, with one or two ex ceptions froth Middle Georgia, adhered to their resolution. The entire resolution.— The entire Cherokee delegation present, was in favor df running a seperate ticket if the party woutd unite lipon’it—a minority of the delegation insisted upon running an independent ticket in spite, ef the base treachery of Chatham.
