The people of Cherokeo Georgia are highly-plcasod with tho actlvo and efficient administration of Mr. Wadlry." Wo copy tho abovo from tho Marlotta Union.

Tho Campaign Opened. Wo have waited very patiently until tlio meeting of tlio 10th, and, wo presumo, tho Iasi Convention, boforo making a final deolsion upon tlio courso most prudent and proper for to pursue In tho pending Presidential con test. It ie hardly necessary for,us to say Hint, Union men and tho conductors of a Union paper, we feel no little embarrassment in view ofVtho vory peculiar aspect and position of politics and politicians in Goorgia. Our dlifi- cultles aro increased by the fact that 0110 of tlic proprietors of tlio Cuuritr is a Domocrat, and had always boon identified with thnt 1 tar ty In Florida. Whilst, therefore, tlio senior Editor is unwilling to compromiso Ills own consistency by supporting a purely Demo cratic Electoral Ticket, ho cannot oxpcct his associate to give up his predilections and sever his parly alliances and support a purely Whig Ticket. Ilild a Union Ticket boon pre sented, wo could linvo nnlted In its support without a sacrifice of prlnoiplo or fooling. The Courier, therefore, will bo devoted to tlio diffusion of useful Intelligence upon ail subjects, and the promotion of those great in terests wli|ch more vitally concern tlio people than tlio brief ascendency of political factions. tho respective nud respectable names ol whig and democrat—tariff and onll-tnriir, Internal Improvement and anti-internal Improvement —intervention and non-intervention—States Rights nml Federal—Southern Illghta and Frccsoll—all, all rally under tlio old ban ners at the deceptive cry ol whig and demo crat, nod sing hosannas to unmeaning names If anybody win toil anybody whnt anybody is to gain In such a struggle, wo shall be glad to hear it. Atlanta, Mootings, It appears that both of tho Into " mass” moetlngs at Atlanta wore very sllmly attend ed and quite spiritless. It could hardly have beon otherwise, so completely have tho masses of tho people become disgusted with tbo pres ent aspect of Georgia politics. In our recent visits to Whitfield, Cass, Gordon, Polk and Chattooga Counties, we observed no political excitement, and scarcely heard a political dis cussion. There is no onthuslaim among the people, and none can bn aroused. It would not surptlso us If tbo Presidential eloctlon In Georgia, thin,,year, wont by dolault. Nearly every body fools that a few Irresponsible Con ventions, controlled by political adventurers and tricksters; linvo taken the matter out of tholr hands—thwarted tho will afid disregard ed tho wishoa of tho Amorican pcoplo In tho presentation of the present candidates—aud thay therefore have but little Interest In tho final result.

As it is, we look upon the present struggle as’involving tho triumph of no great arid vital principles, or tlio achievement of any great public bcncHt.

Courier. Tha Wei : b *^r^ rginl “ tlop . The Washington correspondent of the Bal timore Suu (Ion)says:— “ Tho political developments of tho Inst weuk exhibit somo additional defection among lending members of tlio whlg'party. Wlmt Is coiled tho Webster movement—though it Is •iota movement for Webster, and Is not like ly to do him any good—has ovldcntly received nn additional Inqietnli.' Ita object is now pro- fessod,and It Is a vory reasonable and feasible ono. It is to form tho nucleus of'a trim na tional and constitutional |iarty. Thu preserva tion of tlio present parly divisions nnd even names, after thp coming presidential election cannot he expected. The party divisions and names mnst represent with more truthfulness tho ncturnl state of parties. A Slate righto party, a constitutional and national pnrty, and an anti-slavery party, will be the three chief divisions of politteal parties; and there will probably be, In addition to these, an incun- utdomlil©-pnrty; wtro will cling tb tho extreme nnd obsolete doctrlnee oftho old whig pa'ty, nil of which Were abandoned or much modi fied by tho platform.oftho late Whig Nation al Oonvonllon. "It Is not at all surprising that nt tills time, when llmro are so many men and so ninny pressos in this country professing entire Inde pendence of pnrty reward of Executive favor, that there should lib so little defection from tho two old parties. Blit, instead of defection or rebellion, thoro appears to havo boon sub stituted, almost every whore, au absuluto in difference to tho'resdlt of the next prcsldcn tiai election." No Compromise—No Re-Unton. Tho Piorco and King meullng held at At lanta on Saturday Inst, and composed of Un ion Democrats and a few Union Whigs it •corns were unnhki to make any ' fair. Ilboral and just” compromise with tlio Southern I Wt itignts Democrats, and consequently thoTfc- cessiun ticket will lie tha only Pierco nml King tlckot In tho field. Most of the Union rilon, Wldgs mid Democrats, have pledged themsolves against this ticket. Gov. Cobb lias declared, and very truly too, that self- respect would prevent him from voting for it, and somo liavo gone so far as to say they would suffer martyrdom before they would vote that tlckut. So that there is no hope of a re-union between tho Union and fire- eating Democracy. Wo shall oxpcct there fore u goodly number of our Union friends to vote our ticket. It is also thought that many Union democrats will write upon their tick ets, simply tlio name of Piorco and King and lot electors toko caro oi themselves. Tlio prospect of Georgia's becoming a unit in tbs prosont canvnss Is not vory hopeful. A Ibw more conventions might make matters rather intonating. Letter from Hon. John H.

FILIUiB TEMPERANTI.®. For the Courier. To tho Citizens of Rome. Thoro hns been n meeting in our city, lo take Into consideration the propriety of estate Hulling a Female College, of the highest order, in uur midst. To my mind, a mure impor tant tiling for tlio advancement of tlio pros perity of Rowe, lias not been agitated In a great while, railroads not excepted. One thing Is to agitate, nnd nitothur Is to not nnd come up to tlio necessities of the tiling agita ted. We mny talk about rearing up a Fo- tnalo College until duomsdny, and without notion we will have no college still But if the citizens of Rome will go to work and put up tlio necessary buildings, I liavo no doubt but wo will find friends thnt will aid us in furnishing tlio necessary fixtures for the col lege. Wo must dig out the t mnilatlon anil commence tlio building—nnd must, os citizens to bo equafiy benefited according to thu n- htountdf real estate' each ono holds, contri bute accordingly t kmvw triord aro some who are roaily to say, ' Wo can't do It.' But great undertakings are often accomplished by small contributions from tlio masses. For In stance, tho Washington Monument at Wash ington City, for tho building of which, when completed, the nation will scarcely know where the means canto from. Now, can’t we—I mean all tlioso Interested in real estate nod the trade of Rome, for tlioy are the classes that will bo mostly benefited by tho onterprlso—devise a plan by which, in less than twelve months, wo will liaVo a col- logo building that would give credit to any town or city in Georgia. Yea. I say it can bo dune; but only by the united and determined action of our citizens. Now it may be asked, 'How can we do Itl' Our City Council lins subscribed fifty thousand dollars to tho rail road, and wo wlli have that to pay somo day But I say wo can do tltia-before we ever have and whom the people will fear to trespass on onr soil. 13. And tlio men from the South said, ono to another,- w e will return to onr homos anil tell all that has happened. 14. If And when the people oftho land of Georgia heard these things they met in coun cil, saying, what shall we do 1 shall we voto for tho Democratic King, or for tlio Whig King! i 15. And ono soot nroso nnd said, lot us join ourselves to tho Demncmta and make tlio man King whom tliev hnvu cltoson, lest wo fall Into tho liarids'of tho fire-eaters and be utterly destroyed. 16. Moreover, poradvonturo thoy may kill tlio fatted calf, and call in their friends and neighbors nnd rcjoica with groat Joy. 17. Furthermore, tlioy may place tlio man tle ufolHco on our abouldors, and coppurs In our pocket, and wo will be great in tlio eyes of the people. 18. IT And when these sayings wero.ondod, another sect arose and aald, lie not confident overmuch, oh yu of vain Imagination, fur know ye not that tlio man whom the Whigs have chosen to be King is a warrior, world- renowned, nnd ainyeth his enemies 1 19. And that his friends in tho North are numerous, nnd in the South aro growing stronger dally 1 20. Hasten therefore wo beseech you while it is called to-day, to make pence with thlno enemy beftira he drinketli his wine, nnd Ids wrath lie kindled against you, that you may find favor in Ilia sight. 21. And the most stricteatsectarnseandsaid. Nay, 0I1 my countrymen, for wo regard not the wealth—tliuguld nor tho silver of your Kings for wo aro nten of |ieaco, nnd liavo a con science void of offence, and duslru that uvery titan should have his own, and we put our trust in our constitution, our laws, aud a vir- tuons people; 22. Therefore wo will call the King's coun sellor.'anil ho shall he our King, for he is a man of excellent spirit, wisdutn. knowledge and understanding.

If Ills ( realized, and Scott or Pierce, if eh» full to preserve the integrity and the nnti niltjr of tlielr pnrty, thoro will be, in the I pendent Party of Georgia, an organlzatlel which may become tho nucleus of a grea National Union Party, to which tho eonserral tivc men of nil parties nnd all sections inajT rally. If on lltu contrary, Scott or Pierce J after tlielr election, shall exhibit a wllllngiw* repudiate Iho unsound material of tliclrl parties, and develope a policy In their adiritn- istnition, national and conservative, it will be tho duty of the Independent Conservative Men ufQoorgia, to give to such an adminli- tration tlielr cordial support. Mr. Stephens, however, hopes nothing from the Whig or tha Democratic Parties, nnd gives his support to tho Wohstor nnd Jenkins ticket—because tlw | nomination of that ticket is a declaration of revolt against tho dictation of irresponsible onvonllnns, and tho tyranny of Party, which would bind thu voters of Georgia to organiza tions which havo no life, no vitality, no unity of sentiment or or policy—hut which aro dead carcases, galvanized into lifts, to subserve the pnr|xises of solfish and designing men.—Mo ron Messenger.

In our paper, somo weeks since, wo stated t|iat tlio Southern Rights loaders sought to place Union mun iu a subordinate position in tlio ponding canvnss. In copying our article tlio Cassvillo Standard enquires, " wlmt wo liavo done to keep Union mon out of this odi ous position 1" In reply, wo would sny to our neighbor that wo liavo set him and nil other Union men good example, nt least. When ho aud others deserted the Union pnrty, nnd with Indecent baste pronounced it disbanded, and were rea dy to iotsako their old Whig allies and throw themselves into the arms of tlio flro-entera— when lie and others were ready to dance at tendance upon every movement thnt promised a restoration of old party labels—the Courier remained true to those principles and pledges upon which tbo Union party was organized If Union men are now in a humiliating posl- lion, it is because they havo not imitated our cxnmplo and heeded our voice. Had thoy done tills, they might all like omsolvcs, at tld. moment have occupied an impregnable and commanding attitude. Butonough. We turn away in sorrow, not in anger, from tbo sad picture of wholesale self-destruction pre sented by tho gloomy and heart-rending fate of so many of our old Union comrades.

A more ministerial office could not in spire this kind of obstinacy in refusing to rc model tlie ticket.
