The Democratic Whig

Gov. McDonald of Georgia, in vetoing the bill passed with scarcely a dissent by a Legislature of his own party dividing the State into Congressional Districts, gives as his reason that this act may be construed into an acquiescence in the Single District requisition of Congress, and, though he does not himself believe that Legislature meant anything of the sort, yet he vetoes the bill lest its passage should lead somebody else to think so! If this is not straining at a gnat and swallowing a whole African desert of camels, in its fear of usurpation, then we can't comprehend the subtleties of a Southern abstraction.
