We were among those who never doubted, until the r.c-u ue». in Chatham, that it was the purpose of leading Union men, in with drawing;the Union ticket, to effect an hon orable compromise if possible; and it that could -not be done, to nominate a union democratic ticket to represent union demo cratic principles. Wc had gone thus far with those whose soul* had been fixed on an alignment with the national democratic or ganization, as we believed it to be the end of the’r policy. We did not dream that it was designed to cast us, bound hand and foot, ink) the camp of the tfisuaiopists. - The result lias shown how greatly we were- de ceived. You ray that the majority of the Coinmit- tes of the Atlanta Convention- were from Cherokae Georgia, and that CheTOkee Geor gia controlled the Convention. Let ?s state this question fairly, and Sir; we assure you, notwithstanding your phrase of «* dare net tiiat we would have spoken of any one from "Cherokee Georgia, however distinguished,'as we spoke of the Chatham delegation, had we believed them oqually guilty. The (acts were these.

But this aband onment of the r organization would have been an abandonment ofJtheir ■principles, and in such an event, a majority of the R. Press Sind the S. R. Executive Committee; declared they would lose 20,000 votes.— Hence it was thought more expedient to de mand qf the Union democrats an abandon me„t of their organization and principles especially as some of them had signified their willingness to do so. We did not design that our former re marks should be made applL-able to you alone —but to all who acted with you both in Chatham and middle Georgia. We still think the conduct of prominent men in por tions of middle and lower' Georgia unprinci pled, treacherous and disgraceful. This is our opinion. Others may call it magnan- roqussted co-operation with them- in the hnity. To us it seems the magnanimity, if we can characterize it of the slave, Who, ho ping to meliorate, submits to and bears his fate. They may. lay the flattering unotion to their souls that it is honorable « to kiss the jrod that smites them”—they mfiy cringe to the:? masters and acknowledge that they have been guilty of treasonXe tke-South and of., base submission;”—but stoop as low ns they may* never can they be any thing, when they have served the purposes of the enemy hut objects of contempt to our foes, and, of profound pity, to the friend? they have deserted.

The crisis is at hand wtyn yon nre called upon as patriots, as .freemen, to beat back, at the ballot-box, a usurping and dangerous faction, which, 'after being twice subdued by you, is now advancing to conquest and dominion ove.r you. The obstinate refusal at Atlanta, of the Southern Bigbts wing of tty party to co-op erate with you In the Presidential eteethm, upon the basis of an electoral ticket which should (airly represent all the friends Of Pierce and King, is proof positive and une- quivocalof their, intention to conquer you. support of an electoral- ticket, for Preadeut and Tice President, upon the principle of a fair repeesentation of both divisions of.
