We have yet to open the first Democratic paper <>( Georgia containing that portion of Gov. Wtae’e Message to the Legislature of Virginia, in which he eipoaea the refusal of President Durbanan to render him efli- cieot assistance in protecting the Virginia border during the late conflict* and ezeite- monte. Many of them make extracts from tha Message, copying parte 'of the (ioitr- nor’e remarks about the Harper’s Kerry affair; but interspersed throughout their eclectic compand ere s/ore as prominent and linear as those 4f Orion, denoting that they bars omitted portions of tbedocumeht. These portions are those in which the Gov ernor exposes and denounces the President’s course; they are the disclosures which show that the Executive of the l/nited Him tee the “commander-in-chief of its army and navy” and of the “militia thereof when mustered into the service of the United States”—the nine Executive who has power and will to follow Filibusters to Nic aragua, or blavo-Tradnrs to the Capri of Good Hope or the Bight of Benin—had no power to do more than protect the armory at Harper’s Ferry ! eould not order the pursuit and capture of the fugitive invaders 1 could not detail a few companion of Faderal troops to protect the borders of Virginia from apprehended and urbanising invasion by arrnad bodies of men from other Btatea ! The indifference »>r complicity of irresponsible ^Jlack Republicans is justly denouoced by these Democratic papers ; but when the Democratic President of the United States shameful!) shirks fils duly in the premises, they have nothing hut tiara to tell the story of bis perfidy and neglect —not a atnpc is to he laid upon hie shoulders I Now, we repeat the question, in what respect could Wm. H. Howard, had he bean President, have dono worse than this T thero a carte roan who believes that he could have refused to send troops to protect the Faderal property at Itarpvr'a Ferry 1 And If, after doing this much, )m hud said tc Virginia, ‘I have done my whole duty; now Caleb the escaped fugitives yourself, and protaet yeuraell from any invasion that does not interfere witli properly of the United Stales, if yon can,’ would his course have bean practically diffeiotit from that ol President Buchanan f And if the same abolition Executive, Howard, had at (ho same time had all tho available qqvoI and land forces of the United Hiatus engaged in the service of preventing the importation of slaves into liio South and in capturing Southern alleged filibustering expeditions, wherein still would he have differed from Buebanan t Would it not bo apparent, in the one case as in the other, that tbs Pres ident waa quite ready to aatume plenary power whenever by so doing ho could frus trate tho enterprise# of a curtain section of the Union; tut found his hendacompletely tied tghenevor tho same section applied to him for protection from domestic marauders end assassins!

JoflHUA Hill, one of the Opposition Representatives to Congress from this State, has written l.oina that he will never assist in the adoption of tba plurality rule in the election of a Speaker, even should “Discord reign forever’’; and a telegraphic dispatch announces that the Southern Opposition members of Congress have determined not to propose a coalition with any other party for the purpose of organizing the House. Nothing could suit us better—and, we honestly beiioee, better accord with the present temper of the Mouth—than the above declarations. Upon the.r rigid obser vance tha paste and salvation of the Union depend. By their observance, only, can the unian af the Hauth be effected. 'A a would not have tha Southern Opposition to vole for a Democratic candidate, nominated and supported at each, even if they could elect him by their votes; and this is the position occupied by Mr. Bocock— thia is tha condition upon which the Democracy nsultingly demand their votes tar the esu- rua candidate 1 Instead of dropping party distinctions with a view of harmonizing all Southern parlies, they determined to adhere . their ineffective organization when they iaw that it fell ridiculously abort of ajority of the lloosc. The consequence haa been that they have not only never had iligbtesl chance of electing Docock, but they have never obtained votns enough I or him to aecur# Ilia election even if evtry Souther* Oppositionist had suatained him.

We copy a sketch of Mr. Brooks remarki Mr. James Brooks being repeatedly called upon, again expressed hit regret that sonu other gentleman, who did nut so .often ad drees the public as he did, was not called upon.

These are very stringent resolutions, almost amount ing to a declaration of war. The Hociety meets regularly every two week*. A Warning to Columbus. Troy, Ala., Dec. 1U, UJM>. Editor Enquirer .—Columbus may be alieudy uwarn of the fuels to 'which Wo expect to coufiuo this communication, but whether so or not, there is one thing cer tain, she is not fully aroused to their impor tance. As will be seen hy the recent acta of the Alabama Legislature now in session, Mr. Bs(Told of Montgomery ha* introduced a bill incorporating tho Montgomery and Troy Railroad, and tho citizens of that city, being alarmed on accouut of the great dan ger of having the trade of this section cut eff from them, are uniting every t-ffori and “all the powers that ba" to, complete that road ahead of the Mobile and Girard Road. The reason ia obvious: they see full well that the latter company ia euibarrasved and progreaiing slbwly—consequently they, hav ing plenty of money to back them, will build their road and thereby aecuro the trade. Now, what must be dono under the circumstances ? Allow us, Mr. Editof, as a friend to I Columbus and her interests, to make a tug- { geslion. Let Columbus be arouseJ from I her slumbering*, and let her aid tbe already partially moused citizens of Pike county letter to the Editor of that paper urging upon the people of this city, the claim* of tho Opelika and Dadeviiie Railroad, which the Editor says ia from a friend of that Road. 1 find in that letter tho following most extra ordinary passage. The writer saya, “There ia cotton, now at this time, hauled in wsgona from 20 miles west of Opelika twWcat Point and sold. There is produce properly be longing to Columbue and she cannot con trol it, without the contemplated road.— There is a range of hiile (hat cuts off the wagoning from Opelika and C'oiumbua which can only be removed by Rail Road.” Now Mr. Editor 1 never knew before that Railroads resisted hillt, but. thought' the hiile had to be dug down, to make way for the Railroad. And what is more surprising 1 never heard ol these hills before. In May last wc were told here in public speeches by the friends of that road, that tbe face of tbe country wa* remarkably fa vorable for building a Railroad. So much that a road could be built from Opelika Childersburg at an average cost of cloven thousand dollars per mile; which is said be about four thousand dollars per mile 1 under the average cost of Railroads. We hoar one word, at that time, about thia “range of hills,” but were urged to aid ' i building thia road, because it would bring largo irado to our city, which now goes elsewhere, and it could bo built ao cheap, that we should not delay even till that company could get a charier, but tako stock and go to work, put we are now n by this writer for help, because there i* such a “ range of hill#” that wag- na, with cotton, cannot get io Opelika or olumbu#, but actually go irom 20 mile# «ato( Opelika to Wesi Point, (a distance ol over thirty miles) and sell their cotton. There seems to me to be a palpable con- adiction botween tho writer in the Timea <d the speeches made here last spring.— Which are we to believe f Perhaps by wail- montha longer, some other devclop- tneutN may bo made in reference to this wonderful Railroad, that ia to bring more produce to Columbus than any other pro- ■ed road. Why is it, theso Tallnpoo.can* who live west of Opelika do not haul their cotton to Louchapokn it they cannot get to Opelika forthe “hill$, , • and pur it on the Railroad there and bring it to this market T There are no “hitU" to prevent (hair going Loacliapaka, as I am informed wagon# and carriages ol every deacripiion go to that depot every day. Now I understand nil contradictory statements amount u> is : Thoy want u* to help them build tbeir Railroad, and to get us to do this, the bo kopt up that they wish to rado to thia market, and would do so, it they could. They do not bring their cotton here now, and a reason haa to be given, and heur.a these reerfastiug hiUt have sprung up. w, my opinion is, if W u have to be taxod build Railroads, our money had better be applied to the building of roads whero tho “Ai//s” do not gain so last. Bix months ago this country west and north weat of ipehka wna remarkably lee al, but now the htUt arc so Urge that cotton wagons cannot ••*• them. But these hilb could soon be knocked into perfect circumstance if Columbua would nly furnitk Ike meant. The letter above referred to, like all other communications that I havo seen in lavur of that road, speak* ol the vast amount ol coal that will be brought lo (hi* n:aik«t over I. That wo need coal, I shall not de ny, ond would not throw any obatruciionajin I getting it, B u t shall we build* a road 81 miles long when wo can get coal by unoihcr road that is now being built with- helping to build it, or its coating u* any tiling to build it. The place whero coal is obtained In AloW**- .viontevslio on the Selma Railroad, which is by Railroad about 30 miles southwest ol, Childersburg. Tho Railroad (com Mont-’ gomery to Decatur haa already been com menced at Montgomery. Thia road ia to croaa the Helms road, aa I am informed, at the coal fields, at or near Montevado. Now if you will examine your map. you will are there i* hut about 15 miles difference in the distance Irom Opelika to Montevallo. By Montgomery and by Childersburg the dif ference lain favor ot tho Utter, but will it pay to build a road 81 mile# to save the freight on coal 15 miles f I think not. Wo havo the coal to buy, lot it come which way It will. If it cornea by the Heine road to Childersburg, it then haa to be re-shipped aiid brought to Opelika, and then re-shipped ngaln and brought to this place. It u i« brought hy Montgomery, it will only have to be re-shipped there and thon brought to this city over the road already built. When wo look at it in its true light, the coal argu- mom in favor ol building this road is worth but little. Certainly not enough to juattly tho levying • heavy tax on our people to help build It "Now, Mr. Editor,! would not have troubled y*u with tins dtmmunlcdtion, but the writer in the letter above relerred to says : “ The more you investigate tho mer it* ol thia road the greater you will find them tube,” hence he cannot complain at a plain statement of tbe (acta of the case. I would havo noticed other arguments :hat have been used in^ lavur ol building this road, but mustdrlrr.it, aa tins romiiniiuca- - ttlon. Acta signed by the Governor.
