Got. Johnson traces with a finger of light to
attitude of Georgia, repeatedly and persistently
asserted to the world through more than thir
teen years, by her political parties—her Gene
ral Assembly and her highest authority—a con
tention of her sovereign people! Iler doctri
nal stand has been most deliberately taken and
baa been heralded to the world by fte same au
thority which has established her fundamental
law—by to same power which ordained to
Georgia platform—fixing metes and bounds to
to assaults and aggressions of fanaticism upon
her dignity and rights. * _ *'
Now tell us. what overpowering exigency
has arisen calling upon the Democratic party
of Georgia to obliterate and reverse her record
—to abandon a platform adopted under fte
aetaMt .sanctions of her Constitution Itself—

Too veara ago, wo .first raw, heard and ad
mired to Herculean power of Gov. Cobb, as a
popular orator. Ha was then to Union can
didate hr Governor, and he based his argu
ment wholly upon to non-intervention princi
ple asserted by to resolutions of 1847 and ’48,
and in the Compromise Measures of 1850.—
His argument carried 'with it an auditory gen
erally hostile at fte outset to bis claims. We
thought it ooarf those speeches which may be
remembered a life-time. With great force he
demonstrated to equity rf the principle it
self and. the policy of removing out of Con
gress forever, if possible, an agitating question
upon which the very prejudices engendered by
habit and education precluded fte possibility
of harmony. Mr. Cobb is one of to founders
of to non-intervention.principle in Georgia. *-
Georgians, shall we abandon our position?—
The effort to harmoniae it with the claims'cf
Yancey and to Alabama Platform art prac
tically rain and futile. The question simply
is shall we take their platform or stick to our
own? Ifyta, we canget oar own platform In
