LETTER OF JL'DGE JACKSON.
Savansah, Sept 27, 1852.
To the Editor of the “ Constitutional Union.”
Marietta. Ga.
Sir:—In your paper of the 23d instant, you speak
of the action of tho recent Atlanta Convention, as
part of an "infamous plot, laid either by Gov. Cobb
or among his Savannah friends." You say that ‘ the
first step in Its development was the withdrawal of
the Union Electoral Ticket; ” that; as "another step
in the process, Gov Cobh’s intimate friend, in
Chatham united themselves publicly with the South
ern Rights Democracy of that county; 'that "on the
I8tlt the whole p ot. in all its base enormity, became
fully develop'd." when "tho Chatham delegation,
with a few proselytes, came as the opponents of an
independent ticket, as not demanding a compromise
ticket—with the oroical upon their Ups that they were
prepared to support ihe Southern Rights Electoral
Ticket.”
You sav further that ihe Constitiirioral Union
Executive Committee did not wish regularly ap
pointed delegates to lie sent to the Convention, as
il was desirable that a few onlv should attend, and
those few. it was foreseen, would he the most deeply
interested in their own political fortunes:” that thus
"the Union men ol Cherokee Georgia were invited
in sufficient numbers to be outvoted. 'and ‘‘that the
plot was admirably matured for the act of infamous
treacheiy which it contemplated.” You say "There
is oin circumstance connected with Ihe proceedings
in keeping with ihe foul plot of those who gnt up the
Convention. The Convention was called for the
18th. It was urbanized on the \~th On arriving on
tht. I8lh. we found that the President and Chairman
of the Committee were from the re-united Democra
ts development upon
the Chatham Union Democrats, who. before the
meeting of the Convention, had resolved to support
the Southern Rights Ticket." You affirm that the
delegation from Chatham county controlled the ac
tion o f the Convention, against the united voice of
the whole delegation from Cherokee Georgia the
epithets '•unprincipled politicians,” ‘-re irlhless dema-
should have-bean changed. These are views enter
tained not only by ourselves, but by a large portion
of the Southern Rights Democracy. Bui l.uvv are
these errors to he now corrected ? You contend
that the Union Supporters of Pierce and King should
have run a separate ticket. The result of tins poliry
would haveheeu to take the election from the people
to throw il before tiie legislature; to involve the State
in expense, and to endanger the success of our na
tional candidates. Mere is a certain loss to the Slate,
and a contingent loss to the country. And what
would be gains ) f Simply the defeat of ten indi
viduals, who. ifelected. would have dono precisely
what we, would have had them to do. Sound prin
ciple is against this policy.
But you assume a different ground, contending
that not to oppose the ticket now in the field is "to
support the Southern Rights organization in Geor
gia.’ - "to recognize in future the Southern Right)
party as the true Democrrtic party, and its principle |
as our principles;’ to make "a sacrifice of principle
deep, damning, and infamous.” You deal, to a gre,.|
extent, in this kind of vapid declamation You in
dnlge it gross aspersions upon the motives of tin
Union Democrats who have differed fro-n you
which can only proceed from a vivid imaginalioi
excited to frenzy. or a bad heart suspicious becau-t
of its own corruption The fol owing extract frot t
your columns would entreat all Union Democrats li
read with care. I think it will expose an object
which they all must condemn :
’‘A* d is this the only Democratic party in Geotp
gia? Is Ibis to be the Demociatic organization of tin
State, in the Ur.ioti or out of it, for years to come*'
If so, let no man who thinks it worth while to spenj
of us in this connection, ever again set us down as |
Georgia democrat—class ns rather any where elsi,.
for. before high hpaven. we would as soon become )
"Latter Day Saint” or a French Jacobin, as lie bun
ted in the whit-d sepulchre of Southern Democracy,,
filled as it is with all the elements designed for till
destruction of the American Union. VVe preletr
the flection of Pierce to either that of Scott ov
Webster. But as a friend of the Union and of tin
principles of Pierce we prefer the success of Scolt
or Webster in Georgia to the success of the South
ern Rights party. As we have said before, there tp
j gogues.” ect , you heap upon them with unsparing j much less danger to he apprehended from Scott'p
hand, and indulge tn the most vindictive deuuncta- i election than from the triumph of those in Georgia

occur. It is certainly not impossible. As one who,
in support of his principles, will give an earnest sup
port to the ticket in the fit-id but who appreciates the
feelings of all others and looks to the general good
of his party. I do most sincerely hope that die vaucan-
cies referred to may occur. I entreat however, hoi
to be misunderstood as desireing the death any of the
eh dors or their alternates. I have Ticver regarded
that a-- the "prthable contingency.” supposed by the
commit'.ee:
It cannot be questioned hut that this contingency
ought to occur. I have good reasons to believe ,t

It will not be lh" fault of die Executive committee;
they evidently desire it. It will not be the fault of
the many most cortspicintis men among our South-
e/n Rights brethren; they have earnestly advised it.—
It will not be the fault ofthe masses; we feel and
know lhat they wish it. If the Democracy of Geor
gia was this moment assembled together, in all its
strength and majesty—with its great heart true to
lime'hallowed principles with one breath of its nos
tril would it sweep away the cobwebs of feeling
which have been so industriously spoil about some of

he gives the mad youth, a lengthy and
minute direction for his perilous journey.

through the constellations, till apptoaching
the scorpion, madened by the unwonted
heat, and brandishing its fiery tail and
forked tongue, the frightened driver, so
lately wiser and biavertfiati the Gods—
Half dead with sudden fear, he dropt the rpins,
The horses felt them lore, upon their manes.
And flying out. through all the plains above,
Ron iincoiitolled, wher’er their fury drove;
Ru-hed on the Stars,and through a pathless way,
Of unknown regions, huriied on the day;
And now above, and now below they flew,
And near the earth, the burning chariot drew,
The highlands smoke cleft by the fiery rays,
Or rlad with woods, in their own fuel blaze,
Next o’er the plains, where ripening harvests grow
The running conflagration spreads below,
Blit these are trivial ills, whole cities burn,
And peopled kingdoms inlo ashes turn.
Thus the poet proceeds at great length,
in sublime strains, to desetibe the utter
wreck of the Universe and conflagration of
the wmId. until the poor old eatlh utterly
out of patience, wiih these disasiious works

That the popular vote at the same elec

That if the democrats had been as well
united in 1848 as they are now, they
would have carried the three great Slates

That the democratic party is united to a

These things are worthy of note,—

It is reported that Mr. Clingman will soon
take the stump in his District for Pierce
and King. Mr. Caldwell, of the Salisbury
District, will not, we understand, vote for
Scott and Graham; but what Course Mr.

are represented by it. An electoral ticket is a mere
executive instrument, through which the popular
vote is cast for'the Chief Migistrate of the nation.
The ticket now in the field is pledgad to Pierce and
King whom we support; and to the principles of the
National Democrati; parly, which we (lhe Union
Democrats) profess. By voting for that ticket, we
in reality vole for our own men and our own princi
ples. In this, to my mind by far the most important
point of view, it does represent us.
It is unfortunate that we did not paiticipate in the

The Recorder and the Union
Democrat*.
We notice that our neighbors of the Re
corder last week appeared to find great com
fort in the supposed bickerings and dissat
isfaction of what they call the Union Demo
cracy. Like all true gossips, they take
much more pleasure in reporting slanders
there is no limit to the triumphs that lie
before them. They have still a boundless
territory to occupy and improve, in the pos
session of which they are without a neigh
bor, and a mission of civilization and consol
idation to execute as noble as ever devolved
upon the sons of man. But the previous
triumphs of their industry and their enter
prise have been so rapid and protentous
that they would seem to have a tendency
to turn aside the nation from its steady on
ward couise, anil to enlist in more brilliant
but far less certain schemes of aggrandise
ment. A nation of hard headed traders
and speculators, struggling day by day with

appears that there are fetlimgs on tlie other side to con

to be wrong, yet it is a feeling, I must confess, no 1
wholly unnatural. The vpry arguments it
which it expresses itself, wholly repudiate thi
the idea of any intention now. of any intentim
heretofore, to place us upon a footing of ineqnal
ity.
The truth of it is, that Ihe circumstances which stir
round us have been as singular as they have beentin
fortunate. Our action now, whatever that action ma’.

establish no precedent for the future. The result o>

FANCY THE SCENE !
The following (from the Republic) the
Union thinks needs no comment. It exhib
its the whig candidate in a most disiespecta-
| hie attitude—one which must overwhelm
i the honest men among his followers with
shame and mortification. Truly are these
! degenerate times, when we see a candidate
for the Presidency attending p litical meet
ings, and soliciting in person the votes of
the people. The abolitionist, Wm. F.
Johnston, takes the chair and presides.
Wind field Scott takes the stand and ad
dresses the meeting. But il is the last des
perate effort—the last expiring agony of
the Seward Scott party :
“General Scott in Pittsburg.—According
to announcement, a whig mass meeting
was held on Saturday evening opposite
the Monongahela Hotel, at which ex Gov
ernor Johnston presided. The meeting
was addiessed from two stands, by General
Scolt, Senator Bel! of Tennessee, Mr. Sharp
less of New Hampshire, Captain Robert
Porters, and others.”
A CHANCE FOR THE WHIGS.
A gentleman from Virginia authorises us,
in view of the statements made in the North
American of yesterday, giving their advices
of the prospects of General Scott's election,
to make the following proposition:—One
thousand dollars that General Pierce will
carry in November next, Pennsylvania, oue
thousand that he will carry Ohio; one thou
sand on New t Yoik. and three thousand that
General Pierce will be elected Piesidentof
the United States, or six thousand on the
general result. Any gentleman who has
faith in Whig prediction can have a res
ponsible man who will enter into arrange
ments for depositing the money forthwith.
Call al this office.—Pennsylvanian.
Georgia to feel an injury, it would be likely
to injure the Whigs more than the Demo
crats. Like other gossips, the editors ofthe
Recorder are prone to magnify and exag
gerate a very small affair, into a very large
and marvellous one. They say “we notice
some four or five papers has already hoist
ed it [ihe Tugaloo Ticket] for their support
and suffrage.” Now we have noticed that, up
to the lime when the above appeared in the
Recorder,and at the present time,so faras we
have seen or heard but two papers have hoist
ed that ticket. The Recorder says: “we shall
be greatly mistaken if it [the Tugaloo Tick
et] comes short of some ten thousand vo es.”
When editors make such an egregious blun
der about what has passed, as to mistake
two for Jour or five they cannot be very safe
calculators for the future. We think the
Recorder’s ten thousand votes will, like
Fallstaff’s fifty men in Buckram, dwindle
down to three “misbegotten knaves in Ken
dall green.” Instead of the new ticket taking
ten thousand votes from the Democracy, it
will receive perhaps two or three thousand
votes from Union Whigs, and such Demo
crats as Mr. Thomas, of Elbert, and the edi
tor of the Constitutional Union. 1 he whigs
of Georgia have taken the Tugaloo faction
under their Guardianship.and will soon hug
them to death. No politician or faction can
long survive their embrace. I et those De
mocrats who respect the principles of De
mocracy, and are tenacious of political life,
keep 'Hit of their clutches.
Since the above was written, the Cass-
ville Standard has changed Editors, aud
has hoisted that Ticket, making three pa
pers for the Tugaloo ticket.

Gen. Scott’s Tour.
THE WHIG CANDIDATE FOR THE PRESIDENCY
ON THE STUMP.
For the first time, we believe, in
the history of the country, a candidate for
the Presidency has traversed the country
making speeches and begging f.’or votes.—
Scott has taken advantage of an excuse for
selecting a site for a Military Asylum, to
travel through Pennsylvania. Ohio, Ken
tucky and some other Western Siatesand
make political speeches for himself, whilst
he is drawing pay from the Government.—
This is killing two birds with one stone. In
his tour through Pennsylvania ex Governor
Johnson, the noted Abolitionists and the un
relenting foe of the South figured largely,
and was Gen. Scott's companion and guide.
The General was quite a lion among the
ladies. In Pittsburg he held a levee and
received the ladies on Sunday. His speeches
are characteristic of the man. they are filled
wiih vanity anti selfesteem, and at the same
time contain such gross flattery to the peo
ple, that every ntan can see that he is fish
ing for votes. He told the Pennsylvanians
that he would he indebted to them tor his
election if at all. We give his speech at
Cleveland, Ohio, as a specimen oflhe rest.
If any thing was wanting to convince every
intelligent man in the country, that General
Scolt was entirely unfit for the Presidency,
this tour must supply the deficiency:
GEN. SCOTT’S SPEECH AT CLEVELAND
Cleveland, Ohio. Sept. 21—The following is the
speech of (Jen. Scott, made from the balcony of the
American Hotel, yesterday, to the throng which as
sembled to welcomed him to ihecitv:
“Fellow citizens—V\ hen I say fellow cilizens. I
mean native and adopted citizens, as well as all who
intend to become citizens of this great and glorious
country. I thank voo for the enthusiastic reception
you have given me ( Cheers) But there is one thing
1 regret in visiting this beautiful city, and that m the
rain. I was pained that while I was comfortably
sheltered in a covered carriage, you should have been
expojed to rain and mud. During my military cam
paigns. and other tint es in the discharge of the duties
ofmy office, aud dur ing tne greater part of my life,
I have been on the ni arch, and have always been ac
customed to expose myself to the weather and other
inconveniences of cam p life in common with the brave
soldiers ofthe army, and I am pained at this time, to
see you put to such i ncoitvenience on my account.

Daniel Webs lev’s opinion of Gen.
Fierce*
Daniel Webster, the candidate of the in
dependent Whig Party in Georgia. sp..ke
tn Judge Tarpley of Jackson. Miss, in
the following manner of Gen. Pierce:
“SIR: I HAVE KNOWN *> R PIERCE
FROM HIS BOYHOOD. AND HF IS NOW
MY NEIGHBOR. AND I HAVE NOHESITA
TION IN SAYING THAT ALTHOUGH VVF
DIFFER UPON MANY CONSTITUTIONAL
QUESTIONS. YET UPON THE SUBIF.rT
OF SLAVERY HE IS AS SOUND AND RF.-
L ABLE FOR THE SOUTH AS WAS MR
CALHOUN HIMSELF.”
This opinion is identical wi’h that of
Mr. Toombs and Mr. Stephens of this
State. J his testimony is overpowering, it
cannot be set aside by such Abolition
proof as certain journals in Georgia have
imported from the North. How the Chron
icle Sf Sentinel can pretend, in the face of
the endorsement of Gen. Pierce by Mr.
Webster, Mr. Toombs and Mr. Stephens,
to believe, much less charge Gen. Pierce
wiih a proclivity to Anti-Slavery, passeth
our understanding. Gen. Pierce can show
a ‘ cleat.er bill of health on the slavery
question than any man North of Mason and
Dixon’s line who has been as long in the
councils of the nation. It needs not the
endorsement of Daniel Webster to teach
Southern men tn love Frank Pierce—they
know him and they will honor* him.

are crossing the line, stick to y>ur baliwick,
or look out for hot shot. To keep down the
tempest in the tea pot, both sides have con

hoping, by fighting against the enemy in

true, and in keeping with Whig Tactics,
