day sales were remarkably fiv'ely. The receipts are
very light, and slock* are daily decreasing. Our quo

Our Hoads Again.
We have our (ear# that this subject tttay become
ihreatllme, and be as lilt I** heeded as a ihncc told tat* l
‘upon the dull ears of an impatient and wearied listner.
It is howi ver, if not as inlnstsng, a more profitable
•object, ih in politics, and our people will in due time,
fir themselves realize its importance. Kail Roaff* are
the grand and a triking feiture of the age. Here, in
Europe, Asia, and in every portion of the civilized
world, the engrossing and absorbing subject, of either
tiutioiiul consideration or imJividlial ehtcrprifce, ia the
icbompQisnftirtit, by Kail Roads, 6f direct and speedy
communication with remote points-, cither for the
tranamissioH of intelligence, the facilitating of travel*
or the transportation of the products of the soil and
of individual labor and skill. From a work recently
published, we learn that not only a.e the numerous
Kail Ronds now in successful operation in Great Bri
tain, yielding a profitable return to their stockholders,
but that the shares of some forty others, even Ufoie
their charter* are obtained from Parliament, aie com
outriding from 50 to 75 percent, premium. The sume
may be said, in a qualified degree, of the United Stales.
Our Kail Roads generally, are paying a good interest
on the money invested, and cupilaliMs do not hesitate
to invest whenever the opportunity offers. In France.
Russia, and the continental Stales, the governments are
devoting their revenues and energies to the construc
tion of Kail Koads, so as to intersect and unite every
pait of their vast territories; and it is even contem
plated, and with every prospect of suet ess, of effect
ing a communication between the Mediterranean and
the Ked Sea. by a Kail Road through the Isthmus of
ISuez—thus connecting Europe and Asia. The pro
position is a bold one, but it lias been pronounced by
competent engineers to l e feasible.
The United States are up to, and perhaps IH ad’
vanco of oilier countries, in their stupendous enter
prizes, and among these States, < ur own Ueoigia is
not a laggard; for with five bundled miles of Koad
complete, and in full operation, wo can with good
reason lay cluirn to some of that spirit of enterprise
on I go-a-headcJness, which our Yankee brethren as
sume as their peculiar birthright.
But as much as we have done, we have not yet done
enough, if we expect td realize the full benefit nl
these undertakings. We have rival interests in our
own State, and it needs unceasing vigilance and stren
uous exertions, not only to compete successfully with
our rich and powerful rival, but eVcri to enable us to
hold on to what we have got; for it is a fact that no
lone can deny, that if the Georgia Rail Road first
reaches the goal we are striving for, viz. West Point,
tve will be in a worse condition than we were when
Without a mile of Rail Koad. Os the correctness nl
this proposition it heeds ho afgtirtient to produce con
viction. We are all satisfied of the fact. The only
difficulty, and it * one of main consideration, is, how
shall the means be ra sed to effect this desired juntlon
with the Alabama Road ? Within a few days pitti u
new impulse has been given to the subject, and we
have conversed with several gentlemen who have the
work very much at heart. A hope is entertained by
some, but we con less we have none, that something
miy be done by the convention of Stockholders of
the Central Kail Koad, which meets in Savannah to
day. They would, if they could, and we have not the
least doubt, that if it should lie possible for them to
k end us any assistance, they will cheerfully co-ope
rate with us; for none arc hotter apprised than the
Managers of the Central Koad, of the advantages that
will accrue to their Road and to Savannah, by an early
completion of the Road tti one or both of its original
rtnd legitimate termini. White II ill and W’est Point.—
The Central itoa.l, *|> lend id as the enlerprize is, and

for them to < xtenJ a helping hand* we confidently ex

and advice—for vte can with truth say of it, thaWthere
is no time to lose, and “If it were done, when it is

Kail UoikU Subject for their Debts.
We have before adverted to a decision of iff® Supreme
Court of North Carolina, ruling that a Rail Road, or
any part of it, may He sold under execution lo satisfy
the debts of the Corporation. Tiofessional men differ
he to the coffretnesa of this decision. HovVever this

and sympathises iilUh&s, we we would refer to the

Extract from a tellerfrom Marcus Morion to Motfon
Eddy, Sept. £B, 1837.
“ I deem slavery to be the greatest curse and the
most portentious evil which a righteous God ever in
flicted upon h nation; and that every effort tort aisle i A
with moial duly and the Constitution and the laws of
the Union, ought to be made to mitigate, and, if possi
ble, to extirpate it from the land.
••'That Congress has the control of the whole sub
ject within the Di>trict of Columbia, I enteitain no
doubt, t Lave seen two droves of human beings,
rnanacted and chained together, driven like cattle by
a drover , under the walls of the Capitol in which wcie
as-embled the Representatives of a people proud and
boastful nf their liberty. Can such things be suffered
to continue without bringing down upon our nation
the vengeance ol Deitv.
“ In lelation to the fiditlbsion of new Slates with
power to hold slaves, I need do no more than refer to
my record, and votes against the admission of Missouri
with ibis power. Tout opposition which it requind
some firmness to perseverfe in, Would doubtless hurt
proved successful, hut for the extraordinary influence ,
and the extraordinary efforts of one man, (Henry
Clay,) who was supposed by some to have resorted to
extraordinary means to acenrnplisn bis purpose-.*’
Now for Mr. Robert Kantnur, Jr. He says in a let
ter wii ten about the **olo6 time that Morton wrote the
foregoing : *• Slavery ought not to exist in the Di-trict
of Columbia ; so long as it exists there, it will endan
ger the existence of the Union.'*
But listen fuilher to this Kanloul: *• Under the pow
or to regulate commerce w ith foreign nations, Congress
have already prohibited the African slave trade, ami
under the power lo regulate commerce among the sev
eral Slates, Congress nny equally prohibit the slave
trade among the several States.’*
Vice Dallas.
Mr. Dallas seems to have, by no means, divested
hirnself of those bair->plittilig theories, Ulrich charac
terized his legislative course relative to the Bank ques
tion, and thte liability of Corporations to pay their just
JeM*. His recent decision, as Vice President, allow
ing a constructive mileage to the members of the new
•Senate, thereby squandering of the public money, be
tween t hirty-flve an & fifty If toil sand dollars, evinces,
that he not only retains all Iris Pennsylvania Abstrac
tionism, which, by-the-by, for its inexplicability and
mischievous tendency, infinitely transcends that of
the Virginia School, but that he possesses in no small
degree, the essentials that constitute a complete dema
gogue. We arc not disposed to prejudge Mr. Dallas,
but we think that this act, which unprecedented as it is,
we regard as *IH unauthorised abstraction of the public
funds together with hia open espousal, since his elec*
lion,of Rhode Island Dorrixm, with all its odious and
distructive principles—principles subversive of all gov
ernment, feud whifcli if carried into execution, would
inevitably result in the overthrow of the peculiar insti
tutions of the South, are certainly not very much cal”
culuted to inspire confidence in his political integrity,
or awaken any very flattering hope of the character *f
an administration, over which he might be called to
preside. (Jo*! grant, that the count iy may lie spared
his services in this capacity ! for although we have no
fear of ever again In holding an administration so ut
terly corrupt and base as that of John Tyler’*, yet we
believe it to ho the. duty of every patriot, to pray Heav
en to avert even a faint approximation to it.

sent them in the next tfent'e of Georgia. Under these

with feelings of unsigned gratitude, for the honor
thus conferred upon me, accept the nomination, with j
a determination if elected, to exert the utmost of my
ability uhd h flueuct* to pieserve inviolate the trueprm- j
(iplesof our Goverhfnet, and instead of seveting to j
useeveiy effort to strengthen those cords which bind |
together the vaiiou* parts of our beloved Union.
1 consider the Whig the great conservative
paity of the Union, and cannot perceive any differ
ence ih the principles of that party now, than there
was in the days of our Revolutionary struggles. Let
it maintain its integrity, for our name Whig, is a tower
of strength; it culls tip the spirits of our Washington,

glorious,and heart stirring.

Cotton I'Uflorics in Upson Comity
Messrs. Editors —1 believe it ;* not generally known,
Ihe extent to which Upson county i* progressing in
the erection of Cotton Factories. Whilst the subject
seems lobe attracting tiie attention of the South very
generally, I have been surprised that the Messen
ger, has been so silent upon the subject, knowing that
i/ ii have tome interest in the county, and that one of
you frequently visit the county to extend your iriter
est, and of course aware of the cnterpnzv of her citi
zens.
Prtt few counties in Georgia possess more natural
advantages for this purpose, than Upvon. Hitaated in
the very heart of tlio termination of the
Southern spurs of the rahgc of Mountains, that trav
erse the northern part of the State, it affords an abun
dance of most valuable water power at a trifling cost,
when compared with the immense advantages held out
to Capitalists, lor investments of that kind. The land#
though not equal to those of Houston, SStcwait, and
the counties south of it, for producing Cotton, never
theless yield perhaps more, than an average of the col ,
ton growing region of the State taken entire, ami for
all kinds of grain, rfnff consequently all the substan- 1
tints of life, are preferable lo say nothing of ns advan
tages in fjOiftt of health.
ft is not my purpose to give any detailed statement
of the resources and advantages of Upson, t become
an extensive Manufacturing county—but considering
its contiguity to aiorke'., the vast water power in the
county lying idle, its healthy location and its produc
tions, 1 hardly think that many counties in the State,
have so many advantages combined—lndeed her citi
zens are wide awake on tikis subject, There are al
ready no less than six or seten Factories in operation
and iff progress of 6on#t ruction.
First, it the Franklin Factory, owned by Messrs.
Perry Sc Cos., upon Tobleta Creek, about 8 miles south
east of Thomsaton—this Factory lias been in opera
tion some 10 years, and has been constantly increasing
its operations, by adding uiore machinery every year*
First it made only yarns, snd original •• Franklin
Factory,” m anufactures only thnt article at present,
hut connected with it aAd owned by the same parties,
at least in part, are the •• Wa>iiman Mills,” so called
in honor ol the late Wm. J; Wuyntnan, the original
proprietor of the Franklin, now deceased, upon
the same stream, a few hundred rods bt low the
“ Franklin,” where both ys*ns and Osnaburgsof au- |
perior quality are made, and sold very generally,
throughout the Middle and Western part of (be Ntae,
and indeed they find § ready market for them in aII the
Southern Cities, including New Orleans. I also learn,
thut the proprietors of these two Factories, are about
erecting another in the same vicinity,finding no doubt,
ihe demand for their goods beyond their ability to sup
ply them. And here 1 ask, what better evidence is
wanted—what clearer demonstration than is here pre
sented by a ten years experience, of the certainty of
investments of this kind, being profitable 1
Next cmn ihe •• Thomrston Monufucluring Com
pany J'hia Compahy commenced operation* last
Spring, by making Colton Bagging, and although not
so well prepared lo furnish so good an arlieie, nor to
the exit rit of the demand, a& they will be in the com
ing lull, yet 1 ath glad to learn, that they made und dis
posed of about 100.001) yards the past season, and al
though the? contemplated making nothing but Cotton
Buffutrig when they commenced, they have within the
laat few months, made u very superior and heavy arti
cle ot Otnahurgi, heavier and wider than any made in
the Btatc; they are uLo adding additional Machinery
to the I’ actory, and will he able during the suffimer to
furnish u very superioi article of Cotton Bagging,heav
ier olid wider than last season.—And here 1 cannot
orml to mention, the immense water power afio ded by
the at ream upon which this Factory is o cited within
one foruth ofd’rbiie—at this Factory is one of the fin-
Csi Hhotila for that purpose in the Slate, upon a Urge
Creek, fed jbynever fading mountain sticums; w ith
in the above distance, n succession of falls amounting
l should think, to some fifty feet, and ut one place, a
Stiort distance below the building already erected, a nat
ural dam, and perpendicular fall of 8 or 10 feet, with
gradual fall* immediately above it. tien, E. C. ‘Tur
ner, one of the owners of the above Factory, has given
notice of hi* willingness to dispose of part of this water
power, in some of the Newspapers, and it needs only
* personal examination, to convince ol its advantages.
Next is * Factory just commenced, by Mr.
McAlpin At Sort, of Savannah, the bare mention of
whose names, is g sufficient guaranty of its future
prosperity, ‘Though citizens of Savannah, over 200
miles distant, their good judgment* and discerning
minds; have induced them to intest a part of their cap
ital in a Factory, and have just commenced building.
‘They ha*e selected a beauli'ul location, north-west of
Thomasten, upon • Ten Mile Creek,” one of Ihe tri
butaries tif.Potato* Creek, a nevcr-failnig mountain
stream, end doubtless will soon be in •• foil blast. ’
Next, Messrs. Walker, Geo. Moore, Nathan Re-pass,
and Daniel Grant, gentlemen of ample fortunes, etc
just commencing a Factory I learn, upon an exlensiue
scale, in the south-east part of the county, upon “ To
bies Creek,” near wheie it empties into the Flint Riv
er, and have already despatched an Agent to the
Noith to procure Machinery, and will doubtless soon
be in operation. ‘This Factory is located where the
flrst Factory in Upson county was built, some four
teen years ago, hv Dr. Smith who commenced rather
on a limited scale, butdul not succeed, owing to hi*
want of means to carry it through, and partly to the
Tact of his using old Machinery, that had been pretty
1 well worn out at the North, before it* introduction into
Upson.
And last, ihouph not least, l learn that Mr. George
Potter, with perhaps some others,'have puichn ed a
valuable Shoal, upon Potato* Creek, some 3 miles lx-
Inw the •• Thomaston Manufacturing Company,” and
about 4 miles from Thoinssion. and iuUud erecting a
I Cotton Factory.
Mefrg. W alker & Jackson have also connected
with their Merchant Mills, on Potatoe Creek, six miles
nortli of'Thomaston, machinery for carding wool.
The Franklin and Thomaston Factories, haye also
connected with theirs, similar machinery for the same
purpose. ‘The county al-o abounds with Merchants
Mills—Judge Pearce’s, three miles north of Thomas
ton : Gen. Turner’s at the Thomaston Factory ; Mr.
Cunninghams’* upon Tobler’s Creek, rteai the Frank
lin Factory,and Mr. Hightower’s above the latter, and
upon the same stieum and an abundance of water
power at each of these Mills, lo drive additional Machi
nery could be readily obtained, besides many other
Valuable sites throughout the country.
From the foregoing it will be *een, that whiLt many
of our citizens sue trying to direct public attention to
this important branch ot Horne industry,by public
Meetings and newspaper arguments, Upson county Inn*,
almost silently, taken hold of the mailer in earnest,
and ha* advanced already far ahead of her sister coun
ties, and will dduhtlrsa; poon realize the reward >•
always sure to accompany industry and pt-rsevc * r c.
I might add, much of the many advantages to la de
rived by the citizens generally in the vicinity of Fac
lories ; the new market, and increased demand it opens
to the various productions, nur tins sunjen nas neen
so frequently discussed by others more coo’petefit, I

A report ol the debate which took place in the House
Os Commons on the sih ultimo, on tbs Sugar
is published, from which we make the annexed extiar t
I relating to A morican Sugars ‘
•• Mr. TituHiu.xi said ; 1 wish to repeat the ques
tion which I put the right honorable gentleman, the
first Lord of the Treasury. I yesterday slated that a
quantity of sugar had leached this country from the
United Ntsle*. which was notoriously the produce of
slave labor. The question which 1 then put has he
coino of more importance, hecaure to-day I find that
samples have arrived of cargoes of two or three ship
ments from New Orleans. The question I wish to,
pul is this, whether this sugar, the produce or Louisi
ana, and therefore the produce of slave labor, will be
admitted at the same rate of duty as sugar from China
Java, and Manilla, which is considered the produce of
free labor I
“Sin Robi.iit Peel. There are certain countries
—the U. 8. being one of them —where sugar is pro
duced by the labor of slaves. The United States and
one or two other counties have concluded reciprocity
treaties with this country, which treaties stipulate that
the produce of such countries shall he admitted into
this country on the footing of tl.c mast favoied nation.
That, I apprehend, is the state of the case. But up to
this houi tlierfc has been no olliciil information receiv
ed by her Majesty's (Joverninenl from the custom-house
with respect to the arrival of this shipment, nor has
any communication been made to the Treasury Board
upon the subject, nor any aypliration for sn order in
Council, which would bo necessary before the sugar
could be admitted. At present I apprehend that the
sugar could not be admissible, foi no order in Coun
cil has been is ued fur its admission front Ihs United
States. At the same lime I have no hesitation in say
ing that my construction of the treaty is, that sugar
from the United Stales, would under the recipro, ily
treaties, be admias ble on the same lei ms and looting
as sugar from java, Manilla, and China. [Loud cheers
from the Opposition benches.]
“ Mr. TrtottNLKt had liPard the answer of the right
Hon. gentleman w ith great satisfaction. He begged
simply to slate that tbs piuduce of sugar in Louisiana
was such as would give great profit on its exportation
to tins country, and thne was every reason to believe
j the new trade would be carried on to a very consider
j able extent, .
•• Mr. Ewaiit said there was another queslion con
nected willi this subject which he was anxious to have
answered. He wished lo know whcilier the right hon
| ‘Table baronet was awate that all the sugar coming
’ from Louisiana was blown ruuecovado sugar, and there
fore would come into this country at the duty of 2S*.
and not at 28*. I So that, in fact, this slave giown
1 sugar of the United Stales w ould le imported at a low
er duly than the tree labor sugar of Java, Siam, and

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, March 3.
There has been much activity in our Cotton Mar
ket since the departure of the Cambria on Tuesday
1 ist. The sales on thalday did not exceed 5000 bales
! hut yesterday, despite the attractions of the Liverpool
Grand Steeple Chase, 12,000 bales were disposed of,
and to-dav. the transactions amounted to 15.000 bales,
\iz., 1100 Perhatn *5 JtoC J; 1100 Maranham 5J to SJ;
500 Bahai to 6d ; 1000 Surat 2jd to 3}d , 600
Egyptian 5Jd to 7§d ; and to 20.800 Amencan 3Jd
to 6£d. 32.000 bales were sold during (lie three days,
including 12,000 to specula’ors. Prices though not
, higher are very firm, aml the trace bis a brisk, healthy

A FAILURE.
The Nest York. Express ssiy* : “ A failure to a large
amount was announce.l in the street on Saturday.—
‘Plie amount of the liabilities of the establishment are
stated at $500,000 or SOOO,OOO. Tiro house in ques
! tion suspended in 1837 for a large amount, which has
i since been satisfactorily arranged. The business of
the house was with the South, and a good part of it
was in Alabama. The notes held as security have
been a> good as any in market, and their misfortune is
that their goods either remain unsold in the Southern
markets, or that those sold have not been paid for.—
Other homes were reported Saturday to have failed,
but from tho hesitation with which they were spoken
of, we hope the reports were unfounded. One sus
pension always gives rise to a hundred rumors.**
