Tho members of tho Constitutional Union party of Floyd county convened in the City Hall this ovening in large numbers, for tlic purpose, as previously announced, of organising a political Club in Floyd county, in order more ef ficiently to promote tho prioiples of tho party, and advance tho election of John Boll of Tennesson, and Edward Kverott of Massachusetts to tho Presidency nnd Vico Presidency of the United States. On motion of 1). Scott, Esq. T.

Mitchell on taking tho chair thanked the meeting for tho honor con ferred and promisod to nddross thorn ut length on somo futuro occasion. Mr. Scott then oft'orod tho following resolution which was unanimously a strong argument in favor of tin ercigntv, th© equality and tho rights of tho States. Wo fully agreed with him aad boliove Mr. BeU would do. tlio same. “Our immediate Representative” noxt came forward, and devoted bis exordium to an explanation of bis vote for Mr. McClernand for Speaker of the House of Representatives, having for gotten to do so before. Wo will notice his reply to tho Courier upon this point in our noxt, not lfavlng tqnvco to do so ill r present issue. At tho conclusion of his speech ho introduced with a few highly compli mentary remarks, Dr. If. V. M. Mil ler, who was roeeivod with rapturous applause by his now admirers. Ho did not, as at Tunnel Hill, “doubt bis iden tity,” which wo ascribe to tho “ hard ci der,” furnish oil, wosupposo, for this pur pose. His speech, with tho exception of his argument aguiustSquattcr»8overeign ty, was nothing more than a recapitula tion ol the i»ojnt* made in his letter, and we do not feel disposed to notice them again.

You have had many obstacles ; to en counter, hut you am unconsciously aid ing to demonstrate the great truth, that Boutliorn men and Southern comtmtnb ties are adequate to the consummation of any enterprise which requires energy sagacity and resourco. You lmvo undertaken the construc tion of 107 miles of Railroad upon ono of the great tWdughfares which lie between the C'ahada lino nnd tho Gulf of Mexico. Tho immediate mis sion of your road will be to combine upon the iiorts of-Alabama the wtiolo commercial resource* of the State. To enable her to unite her whole physical force if ever nocessary to her snfety.— To encourage the friendly intercourse of hot* people and to abolish, ns we have done in Virginia, by tho same means, those sectional divisions of a Stnto which ought to bo unknown in tho ge ography of patriotism. Your road like nnotlier which is purailel with nnd will perforin the same office with your own, traverses a coun try neither populous nor occupiod by large slavo plantations. I well remem ber when it was commenced. It seem ed chimerical to undertake such a work with such resources Yot tho road has novor paused in its progress. Its re- souicck have nnnuiUy increased. You havo drawn aid from every source; from your State and Federal Govern ment ; but chiefly from you own local energies nnd resources. Your road h growing steadily to Its completion when it will tako its place In the great iron viaduct which is daily transmit ting tho intercourse between the sec tions through thwSouthern and Middle States, and relieving from tho excite ment and danger of those routes which lie along tho Ohio or around the coasts. It is difficult to see how Southern statesmen, interested iu her defense aud development, should hesitate fora moment to provide at once for a work which contributes to a result so impor taut. Yet your merit will h * the greater when you shall have performed this groutservieo without more public aid than has boon given yon. It will ho in your power to present Alabama with the means of unity and commercial independence, and thus perform one of tho most grateful services widen a citi zen oan offer to a commonwealth. In enumerating tho various works which ptoposo to connect with und*sock an outlet through ydlir own, you advert to a resource for constructing which de serves comment. You suggest to your Stockholders to endow tho Board of Directors with power to give such aid us thoy may bo able to tho various con necting roads. 1 by no moans understand you to re commend a reckless aud general con tribution of either money or credit to the construction of other Railroads; lait when the ohjuct of connecting roads tiro common, and their incomes arc scanty, it eortainiy becomes impor tant they should, ns tar as judicious, combine their credit lor mutual com pletion. Every commercial community per ceives the importance of reciprocal support. lt>u,ipll(H the want « f capi tal, sustains individuals pressure of sudden disaster, tecta the common interest I foots of individual sacrifices. In many points of view, a Rail rent aiding in tho construction of another is hut contributing to its own extension Suppose your road terminates with it local trade. It am hut depend on it> load trade. Suppo-ea connecting road brings upon it an additional travel, a through mail and a merohamlize traffic; your roiid can lake this additional busi ness without adding a eon expense account. If then, having an eatahlishcd business, and ii credit in market, and having eontidcMico in tho theory, management and re sources of tlio connecting Road,, should think proper to aid that Rond by en dorsing its bonds, or by other mentis within its power, it would seem not on ly judicious on the part of your Stock holders to authorize such an not, but upon the part of your own Bond hold ers also, since this would render the lien which they hold upon your Road responsible for tho currant inlcrcjt nml capital payment of any debt which it may owo them. This p» 1 y to my mind, is t s if you had built a mill, your supply of waters is barely adequate; a neighbor says to you, “I wish to turn tho course of a stream which will make you supply abundant;” would you not gludly lend half a dozen hands a day or two for tho purpose. I lmvo always looked to the intro tuetion of this prin ciple, judiciously employed ut the South, os a moit efficient plan for com pleting their most important works. It has always secured to me a valua ble resource tor establishing the credit of tho Southern Rtiiroad to the I'ucifio. If nearly eight thousand miles of Rail road representing an investment of per haps $175,000,000, 1 ami interested ob viously in a common entrance to tho Pacific, would meet in Convention, and like tiie old thirteen States assess them selves with yvlpdsoovor- sum might ho agreed as an equitable contribution on tho part of each', to the success ol a work of so much importance, nml giro their se peril to guaranty nml endorse ment for such assessment, it would certainly contribute greatly to accredit a work whoso benefits must ho distri buted amongst all the roads which con nect with it. If the Rail Road projected across Tox- ns and Mexico to Mnzathjn, promises to bring upon tho Southern Railroad tho silver of Guanajuato & Potosi, and tlio merchandise of Europe intended to supply that region, if tho trifling ob stacle of one hundred nnd sixty miles ot Railroad required to open communi- nication of Tohuaiitipec, and enahlo the interior Railroads to secure nnd distrib ute amongst themselves the entire Cali fornia business—Gold-Mail—-Morchan- diso and passengers, why in either of these cases should tho great interests involved, hositntc to employ their cred it to prosecuto works in which each of thorn is so deeply and directly interest- to be effected. deemed visionary, lool iu&eilAn .excBuiiso fofi tin Jill Manufactures of tlio "A'rocont CHtlmnto of tlio commerce of tlio Atlantic coast ami Island! of Mexi co, Central anil South America, jilacoa its value at $300,000,000 annually.* This is a'lrada worth contending for.

Notwithstanding however the fact that the duties on American f irovision have been abolished in Eng- and, wo have soon the exports of these articles reduced until they do not this past year even amount to ono third of their values a Tew years since. This Is to be accounted for by the improve ments in agriculture in Europe, and the development of extensive regions ( in Northern Europe, by tho construction of Railroads. The provision States of the Union are thus obliged to incur tho expense of costly transportation across half tho width of our continent and then across tho Atlantic to meet the competition of European grain provin ces. This in carrying a heavy weight in competition for tho foreign market ar.d tills weight must stop our expor tation and reduce our productions, when tho prices of provisions iu Eu rope are somewhat lmvcr than at pres cnt. But if tho provision States of tho West and North West shall cultivate an interchange of products, directly with tho coasts and Islands of the Southern Atlantic, nml promote tho develop!,lent of that commerce by encouraging Amer ican settlements in that quarter the pro vision States of tho Union will transfer tho field of competition with their Eu ropean rivals to this sido of the Atlan tic. instead of Michigan having to pay freight across tlio Atlantic, to compete with tho Danube, the farmers upon the latter will havo to pay freight ucrossthe Atlantic to enter tlio iniirkutof Havana, Vera Cruz or Rio.

A. BORDERS, Ord. Accessions to Itlr llreckinridgc. A few days ago we announced that tlio notorious abolitionist Joshua It, GUI dings, lmd declared for Breckinridge in the following terms: •'As regards tho two Democratic*can didates, 1 prefer Breckinridge, hocaust he is not ns much committed to sk.«cry as Douglas is. Douglas is a slam-holder, nnd Breckinridge is not, nnd therefore Tprefer him." Wo enn now announce nnotlier acces sion to tho ranks of the Bjccks. Cassius M. Clay, till nholitionist of tho same stripe as Oiddings, declnivd in a speech delivered at Tiffin, Ohio, in hohalfof the Abolitionists and Republicans of the north-west, that: “If we had the power, we would a thousand tunes rather place Breckin ridge in tho Presidential chair than Douglas.” On another occasion this same orator stated that he had always looked up to Mr. Breckinridge as the guide and pilot of his political opinions.

There is another und a not less im- portant destiny which your Gulf State Railroad will fulfil.

It will net bo considered ^tieuson to say that the tendency of Amprioan em igration is toward those countrieswhioh t iroduco the staple luxuries demanded >y civilization, without designating the precise mode in whioh this progress is Bell vs. Breckinridge.
