arc not the private interests oftho minority sacri
ficed. lfthe Tnriffbe abolished—do not tHo matt

private interests suffer also? What becomes of,
tho millions invested in public lands upon the
faith—thutthey would bo sold to'others as they
had been sold to them, and that they would grow
more valuable as the quantity diminished. If the
Sub-TVeasury be passed, by the majority, and
nothing biit specie received in payment' of publie

and private individuals holding notes of these,
banks, will they not Milter by the depreciation In

are a kind of rights called vested rights, which
even majorities hate uo right to touch. This ve
ry question cf vested rights is to become one oftho
most momentous Which will occupy tlio attention
of our age, and the sooner we begin to understand
it, Uie better. Wo may as weti-bro&ch it touch
ing the conflicting interests of a Bridge and a Ca
na), as tho validity of corporations grantod by
legislative authority.
Vested rights—is.a very convertible term, and
may bo tuado to. apply to almost every kind of
rights, but Umitsmust Be set to them. Strango—
thot they have never yet been defined. Lawyers
no doubt haVe a sort of prescriptive limit, aud
conventional Usage establishes perhaps a still
broader one, but thoy aro not accurately defined
to suit our ago and ]}te genius of our government.
Our ideas of vested rights are derived in a great
measure from England, where they go baud iu
hand with hereditary titles & personal privileges.
We have already abolished many of thorn, and if

THE.BRIDGE! THE BRIDGE!!
The opponents of the Bridge are very active,
tit preparing for tlie coming contest before the
people on Saturday next, not in coining.speech
es or preparing arguments, but in-drumming up
voters, and we have beard it suggested. Unit they
intend to propose that tlie votes*shall be cast in
the ratio of property. Can this really be thought
6f f £rd gentlemen, with professions of democ
racy yet warm upon their lips, going to foreswear
the grqat fundamental doctrine of our faith 1 We
Cannot Bunk it—dm?, lest some thoughtless per-
sons might be induced to advocate such a mea
sure, we will at emee lay it bare to the public gaze
in all its deformity.
The doctrine of voting according to taxable
property, hosmet with no advocates in our coun
try in recent times, except in our banka and joiut
stock companies. No Slate, county or town,
bos ever incorponOed such‘an aristoCratical prin
ciple into its constitution, however much some
States may have qualified tiie right of suffrage.
No one has ever dared (sp fur os we know) to
propose that A, possessing two thousand dollars,
■hall have two votes, while B, -possessing one
thousand-, shall have only ono vote. Then, if no
Sfiite, county "or town, has yet ventured upon
the detestable principle, shall Savannah adopt itt
But it may be only proposed in reference to the
Bridge question. Now, we say, it is just as ap
plicable to any other measure, as to tiih one. If
tlio principle is good touching the building of a
Bridge, it is good also touching our subscription,
to tbo'Central Rail Road, stock—and if it is good
in regard to tlie stock, it is good likewise with re
gard to a fifteen gallon law. Hah! have we
touched you upon a sore point,gentlemen? Re
member then, that the moment you broach this
doctrine, tho'advocates of that measure may, with
os clear a right, demand that the principle shall be
carried out. Nor, is this all—once let tbjs odious
doctrine find on entrance into our statute bookr,
and pot only our democratic but republican insti
tutions, are at an end. You at once establish the
two different ranks of ptebians and patricians.
,Has the Bridge question then bronght as to this,
that the rich ore required to have twice as many
votes as the poor? We almost could find it in our
hearts to laugh at the ridiculous position irt which
this mew principle would place our opponents.
The very high, priests of democracy—spurning
with their feet the free offerings of the people,
and desecrating tho altars of freedom with their
idolatrous offerings before tlie Golden Calf. How
the quondam worshippers Would stare, and gaze
at the profanation, to see the purlieus Ofthe tem
ple, once sacred to tlie cause of equal right*, thus
occupied by flie patricians of. the laud, proclaim-
ing to the people—Ho! every one that i« clothed
iu fine linen aud fares sumptuously every, day—
come ye rip and occupy tlie high places secured
by the money of your sires.
The day-that such a thing Is attempted, will be a
proud one for the opponents of such a measure.
Wo will carry our Bridge upon the acclamations,
of fiiepeople, and we wvill pot only celebrate the
paMpver/ btit we Will build unto ourselves* new
altnrs and elect new priests Ho serve before the
people. -
But, notwithstanding that this- thing is rife in
our, streets, we cnmiot believe that it jviJl be seri
ously proposed; and until it is so, we are wil
ling to believe it an idle rumor.- Nevertheless,
when such moitrous things are found even lurk
ing about the high-ways, it is well to seize them
by.the forelock and drag them into the light
of duy. '
. Tho doctrine, however, that public interests,
rind the prosperity of a gfeui community are to
succumb befofe private- views, ,is scarcely less
monstrous than this v . It .strikes, also at tlie very
root of Democracy. What Is the great funda
mental doctrine upon which our ipstitutions are
based! Itjs, ffiattlie majority shall govern. If,
then—majorities are to govern us, of course mi
norities must submit,'Olid this holds as true when
the interests ofthose niinorities arc involved, as
in case's vyhero individual feelings do not' enter in
to the controversy at all. What'great question
ever divided a Democratic people, .in which the
iulcresta of tlie few did not go dowu before tlio
branches.
Thfe simplest process for a popular essay, will
be-to proceedfrom one right to auother, until wo
cQtne to the Stockholders of a Canal', pint,
•hen, a matt's right to a piece of lapd which ho
has paid for arid received title deeds to,in Ike sim
ple, is one, which no majority can toko away. A
Bank charter to run 50 years, vests certain rights
iu tlie Stockholders and their successors for that
term, and v c anno the resumed by tho grantors,un
less tho rights be forfeited by tlie violation of such
statutes as may be in force at the time ofthe pas
sage oftho aot, whatever maybe the majority in
favor of doing so. Stockholders in a chartered
Canal Company, have, the same sort of rights,
and they cannot be token away by the votes Of
majorities. Bat, there are certain kinds of
charters called,in common language,monopolies.
Suppose, for instant, tlie Ogccliee and.Alato,-
malm Canal Company had received from the Le
gislature tlie exdusivo privilege of connecting
these waters with the Savannah. Then the voto
of a majority of tlie Legislature could neither
take it away nor confer it upon another compa
ny, Now; this brings us to tlie ppim. Have the
Canal Company vested rights, with whicli tlie
erection of a Bridge over the Savaunoh will in
terfere ?
Wo will not moot the queatiou whether Legis
latures of Republics have the power to grant per
petual monopolies, but wo will proceed at once
upon tho assumption that they have, or we will
grant they have, for the sake of argument. What
then are tlio vested righto of this Catial Compa
ny ? Do their righto extend farther than tho Ca-
nai and tlie land necessary to carry it into opera
tion ? Dp thoy extend, ad infinitum, over the
land each side?. Cau no planter wagon bales of
cottou outside of their toW-path, because it would
Interfere with the legitimate carrying trade of tlie
Company ? Is a boat precluded from ruuning
within a certain distance of the focks, in tlio ri
ver? Do their righto extend to all collateral ad
vantages over the land eacli side, so that no man
or set of men can either trade there directly or
indirectly ? Here we approach tlie point at issue
—in those collateral aud aud presumed righto
growing out of the direct grant. Then to the
point at once. Have the Canal Company sueh a
monopoly by their charter over tlio city ,of Sa-
vaunqli, that the said city cannot build -a bridge
over tho river into which* tlie canal empties, lest
by so doing they interfere with the collateral pri
vileges of-the Company? If they have 7 how
completely they have honnd us hand and foot.
They may speak to us in this wise: Wo have a
charter Tor a Canal Company, that presumes all
tho advantages growing out of a Canal—such as
wharf lots on its banks—not only these, but all
other laud or lots interfering witjrtheso lots—not
only so, but with dll new enterprizes interfering
even indirectly with theso said privileges. The
Corporation of Savannah shall not build >vhorves
above us—they-shall not build abridge which will
make these lots less valuable by introducing the
very trade which we intend le carry on exclusive
ly on these lots. Now, lias the Legislature' thus
■old us to thd Canal Company?
_/ Were it true, in its broadest extent, that the Ca
nal Company have such chartered righto, then we
might, when reduced to tliis extremity, turn back
upon our own chartered righto. We, too, have
an act of.incorporation, older than theirs, and co
vering the very ground claimed by the Company.
Thus far wo bad arrived, when tlie Georgian
made ito appearance. Our opponent, it seems,
has droped his modest guise, and comes out this
morning in a bran new Roman Yoga.
All the arguments adduced by him this morn
ing are simply a repetition of his old ones, about
the submarine difficulties, which have been an
swered already. As to fighting off the opinion of
our Engineer by employing a greater one to
swallow, him up as Aaron’s rod did the magician—
We are perfectly content with the Engineer who
has thus far enrried ns .and our improvements
kate\y on. Is ilto be presumed that an Engineer
capable of laying out Rail Roads and Rail Road
Bridges and who is constantly studying the na
ture of Soft them rivera.does not know the pecu-
liaritierof the Savannah if there aro nny. Has he
not already constructed a bridgo over thojOgee-
chc, arid does that differ very widely from the Sa
vannah? We* presume not. As to tlio under
estimate—expense—and pro rate taxation, wo
shall allude to these points at another time,is well
ns to horse bouts—steariiboato and the .single
bridge plan. -
Our opponent could not get along it seems with

MEMORANDA.
Ship EU Whitney, up at Boston Tor this port.
our small harbour. The proposer of this sito can
nevorhnve observed and reflected upon the efleets
of the attehipts to stop the passngc* between
Hutchinson mid Argylo and Fig Islands.—If they
have,'wo would ask what' havo boon their deduc
tions? Oursaro, that a bridgo would form similar
banks with ono or two sinicos for the passage of
tlic watcr; or if the current should be much in
creased by the lessening of the passage far the
river, it would deepcu the river just at the points
of increased rnpidity by removing a portion ofthe
bottom; but itwould doposit it a Utile lower down;
and the'dividing oftho channel just below, by Fig
tsjand, would most probably fix the very basin of
our harbor ns tho spot of deposit. It will not be
necessary to point to a great distance to observe
tho cflects of obstuctions. Wo have them both
above and below town. Above the river, can now,
on banks formed within no veiy long periods und
daily enlarging, be forded two thirds across at low
water. Below we havo tho changes ofthe bottom
and tho effects of obstructions daily before our
oyes i even lint a short distance from tho propos
ed site of tlio bridgo within a few months, wo &re
told, during the absence of many of tho Commis
sioners of Pilotage, an obstruction was permitted
to remain, and ulrcndy a Bank has commenced
rapidly its formation. If such has been the eflect
of small obstructions, what must bo that of a bridgo
with piers and abutments,&c.7 We fear literally
the filling up of, some portion ofbiir Harbour.
This subject might be pursued, and many views
suggested; hut pretending to no yicncc, wo leave it
for the present to those of more skill nnd expor-
ence; and only suggest if a bridge should Go do-
(crmincd upon, let -it bo placed so far. above tlio
city diat the Bank which;it will form shalLnot
‘‘embarrass our commerco;” and if one is built,
that it shall be constructed with a full study of fls
hydraulic and hydrostatic effects. A. to a bridge
ofa single arch, wo prasnmo if the span should
not bo too great, that the expense■ might be too
great; if not, the destructiveness of our climate to
wood would forbid at so groat a cost its erection,
TJiere is another effect which will and. should
be brought to view, viz: that upon-privnto and
iocnl public interests. - Ifu bridge is buik-at any.
part oftho city, it must losscn tho fiicility ofap-
proach to some wharves, and consequently their
value, A groat undertaking hue been cptnmeu-
cod by tlio Catial Company, nnd idrondy has
much money und labor boon expended to increase
accommodation for shipping, and ’give fueilitieS,
which have deeu intich needed, to the lnjnber
trade.. A-trade which as now. conducted, is at
great detriment to die river. A bridge .built be
low the canal'must prove a great injury to the
projcqt as well us seine, others', and to tho in
terest of n-.any. Wo have already before our
eves, presented in a strong light, lamentable in.
stances of tho destruction of private interst add
