It says: “Let it be borne in mind that the next Legislature may control the Electoral vote of Georgia. Ourop- ponents recognise the right ofiuetructioa aud no doubt will put it iu practice.” To the latter clause of the quotation we fully concur; the right of instruction is ono of the fundamental principles of^the Union parr ty; and a refusal to obey instructions, when property expressed, would totally and forever prostrate any representative of die Uuion party. But in conceding •hi* much, we do uot perceive how the next Legisla ture m&y comrol the Llectoral vote of the state; inas much a* the Electors are chosen directly by die peo ple, and a month after the members of the Legislature are chosen. Hence the votes received by the respec tive Electoral Tickxu will be the latest expression of the people; and die «uly expression by which our re presentatives in Congre.,, provided the Election of President devolves upon them, can be governed.

The other Ticket is nominated by the Nul- lifiers—and j/adverse to the present Adminis tration ; and the great principles of the Re publican party.
