From Ike Macon Journal, if- Messenger. Tho Whig Convention. Wo linyo delayed going to press, as long as Wo could in order to givo our rcadors tho re sult of tho deliberations of tho Wing Conven tion. Unforluuntely tho telegraphic wires «ro working badly, and no intelligence has reached us of tho proceedings of tho Conven tion sinco tho adjournment on Saturday. Up to that thno there had been forty-six ballot- Ings, with no material change In tho positions of tlio three prominent candidates, Fillmore, Webster and Scott. Indeed there never was a Convention, in which the preference- for particular individuals has been so clearly shown, and acted upon with such obstinacy and pci-severanco. Tho Convention must nominato somo one « r dissolve, and declare tlio Whig pnrty of tho inlon dissolved j yeriTTero is no dlsi>osition manifested on tho part of tho (l-lends of l-'ill- moro, Webster or Scott, to yield. Every del egate, up to tho adjournment on Saturday, tenaciously adhered to the man of his cliolco .—no disposition was manifested to tako up a fourth man, and unless somo compromise is effected, wo cannot foreseo when tho Conven tion can present us with n nomination. Tlio chances, svo fear, nro In favor of tho nomination of Gon Scott. Ills nomination, thus far, has boen'provcntcd only by tlio fuct that Fillmore men have preserved In voting (hr their cnmlidato. If they attempt to offcct tho election of Wehstor, by giving him Mr. Fillmore’s strength, they cannot control tlio entire Fillmore voto, but a number snfllclont to nominate him will bo given to den. Scott. —skojCjjjj^Jj^J^fislOonof tho Fillmore men in more, without liopo of nominating him, simply to prorent tlio nomination ot Scott. Their first object Is to defeat Oon. Sbott, and tho plan by which this cau bo dono, is to voto for Mr. Webster. But they cannot transfer Mr. Flllmoro’s ontlro voto to Mr. Webster, aud wo therefore fear tho nomination of Scott, Such a result would bo tho triumph of thu Freo Boll wing of tlio Whig party, and would give a now vitality to that parly at tho North, which has donlcd tho supremacy of tlio law and tho obligations of tlio constitution, and systematically encroached upon tho rights of tbo South. Freo-Soilers would control tho administra tion of Qcnoral Scott, and dlspcnso tho pa- tronogo of tho (tenoral Government, if ho wasclocted. Itls.truo, tho Convention lias endorsed tho Compromlso measures In its platfbrm of principles. But, In tlio voto upon that platform, tho majority of Scott votes hi tho Convention was recorded in tho negntivo. With a candidate whom they can control, they care not for tho principles of a platform, for which they never voted, and witn tno um- cors of tho Government at thoir disposal, they would not hesitate to declare tliolr opposition to that platform. These aro plain truths, which, uopalatablo ns they may bo to our Whig readurs, must bo spoken. Wo proibss to hnvo n dovotlon to tlio principles or tho great conservative Whig pnrty of tho Union, as ardent, aud an admiration of those princi ples Illustrated in Whig Administrations, and In tlio public career of tho grant statesmon of tho party, as strong as any ono. But tlio great issues of tlio next Presidential canvass aro those connected with slavery, and lliey swallow up tho minor points of political faith, upon which tho Whig nnd Democratic parties are divided. In tlio language of tlio resolu tions of tho Into Fillmore Convention of this State, “the safety and honor of the South nro ■dearer to us than tlio triumph of any pnrty,” and if Scott is nominated, wo shall act upon this Idea in determining tlio candidate we shall support. [Subsequently tlio Journal ip Messenger received tlio nows of tlio noiulnntion of Gen. •Scott, and added the following remarks to the (foregoing.] Wo can recall nothing which wo havo writ ten. Wo viow tho nomination of Gen.

As a Democrat of tlio Jackson and Jefferson school, our preference, individually, would bo givey to Gonoral Piorco, decidedly, because, on all tlio past issues which havo divided the people, our affinities aud feelings have been witli tlio Democracy of tho country. But the question arises, are not ull these old issues obsolete, defunct or settled 1 If they are, then wo could givo up our prejudico in favor, of Gen. Piorco, so furTts they aro concerned, 4th. As to soundness on tho groat question iu which tho South is deeply interested, which of these candidates is tho most ac ceptable to Georgians! Gen, Piorco is a Northern man. Scott a Southerner aud slave holder. Gen. Picrco voted in Congress to receive obolitiou petition*. Gen. Scott has no such sin to answer for. Gen. Piorco has accepted tlio Democratic nomination and placed himself upon tho platform which has been put forth as tlio platform of tlio Democ racy. flen. Scott 1ms accepted the nomina tion of tbo Whig Convention aud placed him self on its platform. Both platforms aro good enough—one adopted by tho Whigs, as a con- ditiou precedent to the nomination, and tlmt adopted by Pierco und tlio Democrats, condition subsequent, when tlio Convention was iu a disorganized and confused state, and more than half of the members had left! On this head, therefore, wo opine, there is but little to choose between tlio nominees, but tho tendency of things is in favor of Scott. 6th. And lastly.

Both of those bodies have, in some degree, disappointed tlio just expec tations of tlio American people. .Insteadof- selecting old and well-tried statesmen, known ,to and confided in by tlio masses, under the' iron' disciplintf pf party tedders they have; foisted upon the country men whoso suppos ed availability formed the primary staple in their promotion. It were vain, however, at tlds lato hour, to attempt to retrieve the.past,- to mourn over its follies. Qur great con- :n, therefore, should bo to guard the ftiture; aud upon tho best means of doiug this, wo proposo t<5 say a few words to our Union friends. Whilst no one, wo presume, doubts tho pa triotism nml valor of Gen. Scott, the Whig uomiueo for President, yet the suspicious aus pices under which Ho seeks tbo suffrages of tiie American people, renders him an undesir able and unavailable candidate at the South. Assurances from every part of Georgia, es pecially, and of tlio most reliable character, prove most conclusively that his cause in this State is hopeless. Wo stop not now to en quire liow this Is—lint so it is. On tlio other hand, whilst Gen. Pibrcb was by uo means originally tlio choice of the South or the Union men of the country, still he is presented to the American people under aus pices bett-T calculated to secure the confi dence nnd support oftlio South, and especial ly of tlio Union Party of Georgia. Tlio alternative is now presented to Union men, to support ono or the other of these nom inees or run a third candidate. With a third cundiduto wo can accomplish nothing—we should but throw away the voto of Georgia, when that voto shouM bo given tor (if you please) a lessor evil, to defeat tlio enemies,of Fillmore, tho Compromise and the South. Wo believo, thoroforo, that it is tlio true policy of tlio Union Parly—yea, moro, its solemn duty—to support Pierce and Kino in tho ponding contest. Iu so doing, as Union men wo saerifico no principle. The Convcntiou which nominated thorn has adopted and na tionalized tlio distinctive principles on which tlio Union Party is based. In our past strug gles, we lmvo discarded old names and issues and sundered old ties, ns unimportant and obsolete.

Who Keeps the Union Hotel? Our Southern Rights friends, who, sinco the bursting of tlio great Nashville bubble, have been without house or homo, bed or board— sometimes sleeping upon “ Union platforms ” and sometimes upon nothing, aud picking up a morsel hero, tliovo and anywhere, have very frequently und piteously cried out of late— Who keeps tlio Union Hotell” The shrewd old landlord, whoso big heart is in tlio right place; but who desired tlio most satisfactory evidences of their gonuino penitence before opening his doors for tiieir admission, 1ms re mained mute and placid.

The “ noise and confusion is great.” There aro cjatporjngs, upd bickerihgs, and, rivalries, be tween the Southern Rights nnd. the talc Union Democrats. Both atniiff side by side on tbo Compromise finality platform of tho Balti more^democratic 'Convention, and tbo latter extend the Tight hand of fellowship, but the former (rfot'with 'Chesterflelriian suavity) ex cuse themselves from grasping it. There is no great cordiality or brotherly lovo botwoen them-rwhtch, certainly, is very wrong. Iii fact, some of the Southern Rights men are actually rampant at the idea'of hauling (Wn : their electoral ticket for the puvpo.se of form-, ing a new ono out of 4 both sets of democrats. To tiriToxldbitk/n of sueii unreasonable bad, temper and-eflbrt at exclusiveness, the late Union Democrats most soriously'deraur. Tho former think'they will bo able to give PielW and King a majority of votes in tho State’ without the aid of the. Union Democrats, and many of them therefore turn up their various —some variegated—noses at tlio demands of tho latter; w|fflo these, nothing daunted, con tinue to contend for a recognition of thoir ; claims to high consideration in the business of carrying the State for Pierce nnd King.— What will be tbo result of this singular con test remains to bo determined. The matter in dispute tnay cause a blow-up and a split among tho Democrats.- But, if leading tnon display as much skill in this as thoy do in most political squabbles, tlieso elements of discord may bo reduced to notes of hartnony, On tho other hand, the Whigs of tho State are in q much worse fix. Gen. Scotf can’t bo swollowed by very many of them. Old Cliip- awa seems as hard to take down as the French man found his buzzards to bo—wlffch lie sev erally tried roasted, boiled, fried, stewed and broiled, and at last, in the utmost disgust, ex claimed, “ Be gar, I can eat zo dom bird no way zat I cook liiral’’ He’s not near so pala table as “ a hasty plate of soup.” Tlio Au gusta Chronicle tp Sentinel, tlio Savannah Republican, tlio Macon Journal »f• Messenger, and other: influential Dlflg Journals of tho u.iov.M-Do* *trppurr mm.' Indeed, they give good and sufficient reasons for such a determination. Tho, solo object’ of the Fillmoro movement in Georgia was to pro vent thu nomination of Gen. ,Scott. IIu wa s obnoxious to the Wliigs of Georgia on ac count of the known freo-soii influences that first induced him to become a competitor fur, tho Presidency—and Lo is so still, for the rea son that tlioso sntiic influuncus effected Ills nomination and will, iu nl) likelihood, have a most potent agency in forming his Cabinet and giving direction to the measures of Iffs Administration, if ho is so fortunate as to bo elected. With the Southern members of tlio Convention in a body concentrated on Mr. Fillmoro, lie was sacrificed,*aud Iffs adminis tration thus condemned, by anti-slavery pre judices, passions and designs, and Gen. Scott nominated over their beads. The Georgia delegation, especially, had no interest in his success—they were sent and went to the Con vention to defeat him by tho nomination of another man—and they are under no obliga- tioiuin view, of all the .circumstances of iffs nomination, to go for him now.' Such seem to he somo among other good reasons why a lurge p.irtlon of tire Whigs'of Geurjjiit will not rally to liis suppott. Notwithstanding tiieir very unanimous dissent tu Ids election, Gen. Scnlt is not without a corporal’s guard In the State who will rally to his standard. Tile scll-sacrUicing spirit of these can hut ho ad- hflired—while, at thu samu time, it Ix ati un- fortunate circumstance that they hare ho better causu iu which to exhibit it. Iu this stare of the political parties of Gupr- gin another Convention uf tho Constitutional Union party Is called. Theduty willdotoleo Upon that Convention to select upu or, the other nominees of the Whig and Democratic parlies for whom to givo their votes, reluuln passive spectators of the engagement between tire two, or nominato nn indopupdunt ticlret. Tlio latter alternative will hardly be adopteij by them. II would be unfounded in reason and futile in Its objects. At best, it would hut become a sectional parly, fruitful only of stijfu, heart-burnings nn.l disaffection between a people who otherwise would bu almost, en tirely uultud in sentiment; and, therefore, to bo deprecated; It could havo no influence upon the result of thu election, the destiny of tho country or, especially, upon tlio prestiges and sohumes of free-soillsm. the root of our ovils. A National party, alono, con have weight and potency in these matters. Henco, it would ho far moro politic, expedient and wise, in tho present position of the Whig par ty of Georgia, wjiully to reft-niti from partici pation in this Presidantinl contest, than" to. throw away thoir votes upon independent can didates having no National influenco to off set that exerted by the others, and without a sol llary hope of any good arising ft-om such a course. And it Is not at all probable tlmt they will remain Inactive spectators of the Presidential contest. ’Tls’nt in,our nature. I will now say whan in my judgment, should bo dono by tho delegates to tho Constitutional Union Convention, under all these unprcco- dented uspeets of political affairs. They ought to declare their preference for Piorco and King. Tireso candidates arc, it Is truo, tho represoututives of the Democratic party; but they stand upon the broad platform of tho Constitution on tho question most vital to us, and, wlmt is as important, recognize tho invi- violability or tire Fugitive Slavo Law. For years it has been declared by Wliigs in the highest stations, who spoke from perso-ial knowledge and observation, that the Northern Democrats were sounder on the slavery ques tion than tho Northern Whigs. Therefore, it is the safer National party for tlio Constitu- tlonal Union men of Gaorgia to unite.-with for tho purpose of pulling down Ireo-soilism nnd fanaticism. It has sustained the South when her rights under the Constitution wqre imperiled—let us show our true friends AoS generously we can appreciate their senices.
