’ioIMBCS. WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 17. Opinions of Eminent Men in England on i he Comparative Merits of the English and Amer ican Systems.— ln a speech before the Radnor shire Agricultural Association, in Wales, by Sir John Walsh, a member of the English House of Commons, and whose opinions carry with them great weight, utterance was given to thefollowiug comparison. ... , I believe that there is no greater mistake in pol itics than to identify those very different words nml nriueinles —to suppose that democracy and [Cheer.] Pure <iemoe racy is not liberty ; we have only to cross the At lantic and we see a state of society far more demo -rrtic than our own, but far less free. [Cheers] Any man who has really had a practica acquain tance with the working of that model republic which is so lauded by theoretical democrats, must arrivejat the conclusion that it its not only a less perfect state of society, but a less tree community than England— [cheers]— that is action is less free and all, that its thought is less tree, for on every side the natives of that republic are enchained by the despotism of public opinion itsell—-the despo tism of the inferior intellect dictating to the supe rior. [Hear,hear, and cheers.] The principle asserted in the above extract is generally considered, in this country, to be a po litical heresy. TW is a great disposition to re gard whatever the majority may do as right, and hence,as rational liberty does not involve the priv ilege to do what is wrong, the popular idea exists that liberty and democracy are convertible terms. A more erroneous and dangerous doctrine never took root in a republican government. It is based upon an essentially erroneous assumption that what a majority of a certain number of people think upon a given question is right. Upon this theory it would not he difficult to demonstrate the orthodoxy of the most monstrous and diabolical dogmas that ever cursed the earth with their per nicious sway. There is no great principle, in science, politics or religion upon which the iaith of the world has not contained, and its practice developed, more of error than of truth. Strike the record of governmental crime and folly from the page of history and the chief memoranda of the world’s existence would be destroyed. Across the dim ages, truth would occasionally send her stellar beam, but, only, to illustrate widely separated epochs. It is to guard against this fatal proneness to er ror and chango that Constitutions are framed. 11 is to make durablo certain principles which are recognized at the foundations of Governments that limitations upon the action of majorities arc in corporated in the fundamental laws of every free people. While we will not admit the inference of the speaker, from acomparison of the two govern ments, to be just, wo do concede that there is such a thing as the despotism of a majority, and that this despotism is even more terrible and grinding than any other, because it is wholly irresponsible. Reward the Faithful. That Mr. Peterson Thweatt has made the best Comptroller General we have ever had, says the Macon Telegraph, is the just award which both parties ill Georgia have pronounced in favor ol this meritorious, industrious and faithful officer, and we hope the present Legislature will endorse the verdict of tlio public by a substantial evidence of its good opinion of Mr. Thwcatt’s zeal in the service of the State. Will not some member in troduce a bill to increase the salary of the Comp troller General at least niue hundred dollars? Sixteen hundred is the present pay, and is alto gether inadequate to the amount and character of the labor required to he performed. Mr. ‘I hweatt s reports have brought before the Legislature in formation of great importance, and wo think the Legislature will be doing an act of justice to give him twenty-five hundred dollars —if he had a wife we would double the sum. Report of President Church. —W r e have recieved from a friend at Milledgeville, the report of the venerable President of Frank lin College, made to the Senatus Academicus du ring tlicir recent session. It is written in a plain, straightforward stylo, and places its author among thc*advocates for the establishment ot a magnificent State University and a general sys tem of common school instruction. A. large planter in Burko co., under date of the 12th, writes us : „ “I have within the last few days seen a good many of the cotton fields of Burke, and I can as sure you I have never seen them look so black so early in rhe season; in fact the crop is gathered and sent to market.”— Sav. Republican. The Opening of Congress. —Congress will meet on Monday, the 6th of December next, and already a number of members of Congress are here. The new hall of the House of Representa tives, as well as the old Senate chamber, is the scene of busy preparation, and no little confusion, on all the doors a placard has been placed warn ing visitors of paint, and insido you see workmen actively employed in tacking down the carpet, ar ranging the chairs and desks, and making every thing ready for the transaction of the nation's business. The appearance of the hall has been much improved since the adjournment of the last session. It is true that the carpet appears to be somewhat worn and faded, but still that does not mar the general effect.— lUctsS. Inion. correspondence states that the lead ing men sanguincly expect the admission of the territory into the Union as a fc>tato during the next session of Congress for 1(358- 59. They claim a population of one hundred thousand, and that the United States has no right to withhold a State government, Japan. —The treaty concluded with Japan by Lord Elgin, is said to be almost identical with the Ameircau treaty. One year after its ratification five ports will be opened to Euglish traders. Cot ton and Woollen fabrics are only to pay a duty of five percent, ofthe declared value on importation. Almost all other articles are to pay 20 per cent. A resident minister is to be permitted at Jabbo.— Exports are to be subject to a duty of five per cent. The Dutch hadluot as yet succeeded in obtaining the priviliges granted to other nations. During Lord Elgin's visit to Jabb* the Emperor was un well. which was given as an excuse for his not receiving his lordship. The Legislature of North Carolina met on the inst. Two U. S. Senators, two Judge* and fate efficers have to be elected. MILLEDGEVILLE CORKESPONDENCE. Milledgeville, Not. 15th 1858. The proceedings in the Senate to-day were j principally confined to the passing of bills, some ‘ of a general and interesting nature, but the mail arrangements are such as preclude the possibility of j sending you a report of their proceedings until to- j morrow, there were no debates at all, and very few j remarks even were made, there being so many of | the Senators in the House as left scarcely a quo- j rum in their chamber. A bill in relation to the ! manumission of slaves, which bad been made the i special order for this day, was postponed, so were j some other bills of interest. The bill providing for annual elections was defeated by one vote. There was unusual interest excited early in the morning, it having been understood that the Macon and Brunswick Railroad bill passed yes terday, would to-day be re-considered, and long ; before the Lour for calling the House to order ar- j rived, the galleries as well as the floor were crowd ed ; “ladies fair” lent their smiles to counteract the influence created by the murky atmosphere, and the members by their attendance evinced the general feeling of excitement in regard to State aid. The Hon. Speaker, Mr. Underwood being absent on leave, Mr. Milledge took the Chair, and presided over the House with dignity, and to this gentleman may bo in part attributed the order which was observed during the whole morning. Mr. Irwin of Wilkes, rose. I gave notice to the House that I would move a re-consideration of the bill passed yesterday lending the credit of the State to the Macon & Brunswick Railroad. If I can gain the attention of the House, I propose to show that this bill is based upon nothing so far as we know, but the credit of irresponsible stock holders. The gentleman portrayed so beautifully the bay and country surrounding Brunswick, that I can almost imagine myself looking out upon its broad expanse of waters. The gentleman said that his section was true and loyal to the South, and I believe, sir, as ho stated, all his constituents would take up arms against a common enemy. I have yet to learn, sir, that although the sun still lends its benificent rays to gladden the waters of Brunswick Bay, and though they sparkle in the placid beams of the moon, that this, the best Bay on the Southern Atlantic claims the aid of the State to the Macon & Brunswick Roilroad. I come now to the discussion of this question : If I am correctly informed, it takes $15,000 or $20,000 a mile to build a road; at this rate it would take three millions of dollars to build the road. Now, sir,deduct then SBOO,OOO, and the State would have to endorse bonds to the amount 0f51,100,000, and the company borrow the same amount. Under the most favorable circumstances, and considering it the most profitable enterprise that has ever been started, it would tako the company fifty years, at a liberal calculation, to pay up this amount. But, sir, they propose to pay their bonds in twenty years, it cannot be done. What then would be the consequences ? The State would have to step forward and pay these bonds. Is there any pro vision made for this ? They say that if the bonds are not paid, why the road and equipments shall be sold at public outcry, how much would the road bring under the hammer of the Sheriff? — Not 10 cents on the dollar. What would be the consequence ? why, sir, the State would have to step forward and pay for the road, and she would then own another Road. One section of this Bill says that the individual property of the stock hold ers would be mortgaged to the State. The Su premo Court has decided that when a charter ex pires, the debts due to and form the corporation ex pire with it, then when the road becomes bankrupt tkeckarter is at an end. Now who are the stock holders ? Who will they be 20 or 50 years hence ? The men who originally subscribe, or may they not be men of straw —besides only SBOO,OOO will bo owned by private individuals. Will gentlemen run this risk of prostrating the credit of the State ? They say that the State will be secured. Twenty years will make great changes, sir, and there is a difference between States and individuals. I call the attention of the House to tho motto of our State •• Wisdom, Justice and Moderation” let gentlemen bear this in mind. Look at the Geor gia and Central Railroads. Did they have State aid? and look at them now ! To lend aid to this railway, sir, would be injustice. Suppose a pri vate individual to have built a mill or factory on a stream in his own county, would it be just and right for the State to ruin his enterprise by build ing another ? Would it be just or wise to lend aid to an enterprise, which will ruin another, one gotten by individual energy and industry? Look at your beautiful Savannah, the empire city of your empire State. Look at the millions she has contributed to the developement of our resour ces in building the Central Railroad. Look, sir, at the Georgia Road, an individual enterprise. — Shall the State be so unjust as to lend aid and build roads to injure the industrious citizens of Savannah and Augusta, who never asked State aid, sir. Let every tub stand on its own bottom; let this road be built, sir, by individual industry and enterprize. Our State has progressed rapidly. Let us move onas we have done, by sure and steady means, and difficulties may arise. Commercial crises may spread over the country, and our State will be enabled, like the sturdy oak"of the forest, whose roots have expanded and which have grown with its growth, and strengthened with its strength, to defy the whirlwi id and the storm. But if we taae a backward .step, retrace our steps and em bark in these enterprises, Georgia will be placed in a condition where her faith and credit will be liable at any moment to prostration. Let us stand as we are, and move forward by regular and uniform steps by that wise and well founded pro gress which alone can make us prosperous and happy. Mr. Walker of Henry : There is nothing flowery about me. I know nothing but what I have learn ed from observation, and I am in favor of giving aid to those poor boys of Southern Georgia. 1 have no doubt if you will give them aid, open a market for their produce they will work, Sir. The gentleman don't want to give State aid. I have been in Savannah & Augusta, but they never work more than two hours a day Sir, that’s not the way I was raised Sir. I say help cm Sir, and it will be like a grain of mustard seed Sir, it will take root in the 27-foot waters of Brunswick bay, and grow and wax strong sir. I shall vote against reconsidering the Bill. Mr. Howard of Muscogee. If I had knoivn on Saturday that there would have been no opposi tion, I should have attempted to give some rea sons in opposition to the bill. 1 do not feel that I should do my duty were I to keep quiet, when the State is on the eve of inaugurating so dangerous a principle. The gentleman from Glynn Mr. Speaker, in his eloquent speech of Saturday showed a good knowledge of human nature. I honor those who used their influence for the devel ! opment of Cherokee Georgia, why ? because there was uo hope that, that country would ever be de veloped by individual enterprise. The gentleman from Glynn said that the 12 counties through which the road will pass, pay l-10th of the taxes of tho State, if they do this they have the means, and only want the energy to build the road and devel ope their resources: but the gentleman from Glynn stopped by the way side to cull flowers of rhetoric to adorn and beautify his eloquent ad dress. It is the same with individuals as with States. If you wish to tie their hands, all you have t do Sir is to involve them in debt. I know not ! whether my bones will repose in the soil of this my | native State, but I shall carry with me wherever I go nothing but the love of Georgia enshrined in | my “heart of hearts” and a desire ot her good. ! I have been told that the building of this road will benefit my native city Columbus, but I can j not allow a love of section to influence my love for j the whole State, and should we aid this enterprise we would have to aid in others and there would be no end to State aid. I am opposed to the Bill upou these grounds. Mr. Kenan, I have the highest regard for the city of Macon, for the Section and for this enter prise ; but I am opposed to lending State aid to j any private enterprise. The learned gentlemen from Glynn mistook the i views of Ex-Gov. Johnson. It is true that both . Governors Johnson and Brown have vaguely i kiatfd at the idea of Stat* aid, but that was to aid the State and not a section. I voted for State aid to the State Road, hut then we had a redun dant Treasury and I only voted for the excess in the treasury, but I am told that in doing this, I allied myself to that side of the question. I deny this fact. Am I by that vote bound to tax my people for every enterprise asking State aid—l voke the spirits of Jackson, of Jefferson and Wash ton. Let inc read their opinions on the subject of nationaldebt. (Mr. K., read several articles.) — | They held that the highest good of the State ex i isted in a freedom from debt. If a gentleman living in Macon or on the line | of this road says he will not subscribe, where have j you the right to tax him, thus making him aid in ! it whether he wishes it or not, I tell you, Repre j sentatives if you pass this Bill you must pass the Elijay and Air Line Bills, but Macon alone is able to build this road if she needs it, the others are not similarly situated, and I should vote to aid them, before I should to aid this one. Because I voted that the State should become a joint owner to the amount of $120,000 in the Milledgeville & Gordon Road I am bound to vote in aid of this, j Look at the difference, the State owns property ; here, and individuals had subscribed $175,000. The power of the Representative to tax his peo ple for a general purpose, is different from taxing them to aid iu a private enterprise. Are they sy nonymous? Did voting the surplus funds in the Treasury of Georgia to aid tho development of Cherokee Georgia, commit me to vote for the en terprize now? This bill Is inaugurating anew and great principle. Brunswick has had two Railroad charters. What has been the conse quence? Has she built her roads? They have languished and died. Still, a few years ago when Brunswick appealed for aid, we said let us do the same for that as for the other portions of Georgia, and we voted the State a joint owner in the Main Trunk Road as a feeder. What did Brunswick promise? She promised to build approaching roads; but, sir, having done no such thing, she is hack here in two years, asking the State to build her a road which will net aid the State in general but only Brunswick. Now if they get this char ter with State aid, what will they do? Why com mence at Brunswick, and build up a gap of forty miles, which will cor uoct them with the Maiu Trunk, and that i- L neir object. The prudence of our Executives !..as so far restrained the expendi tures. Why I? t submit the question to the peo ple, and see if they are in favor of taxing them selves to bulid the Road, and lend State aid to private enterprises? Mr. Hardeman: I have not time to cull flowers by the wayside; but I wish to present the true features of the bill. I would ask the gentleman from Wilkes, if the State is not secured why he did not secure it. But sir, the State is secured.— First by the road and secondly by the property of the Stockholders. Gentlemen say this road is to break down the State road, to break down Savannah. Two years ago gentlemen from Chat ham opposed a State aid till the Main Trunk was turned towards Savannah, and how different ly they acted. We want money, we don’t care what name you give it—State aid or not. The State will be benefitted by the road; it will devel op this portion of the State. Let the State give ussßoo,ooo or $1,900000 and become a copartner. The road will induce competition, and by lower ing freights enhance the return of products to the producer. The history of Railroads is that capi tal and population follow in their line. I would not pluck ono laurel from the brow of Savannah. One seaport is not enough. Cotton is piled up all over her streets, and she can’t accommodate the growing business. Mr. Hardeman alluded to tho fall in the price of Cotton when yellow fever broke out in 1854. !(Did cotton remain at the same figure during that season, when other South ern cities were similarly afflicted?) Mr. Harde man thought cotton enough went to Savannah from the way stations on the Contra] Railroad, and that building this road would lower the rate of freight on the Central R. R., and so benefit Cherokee Georgia by opening another market for her wheat and mineral ores. He was evidently- in favor of having an opposition to the Central Rail Road, &e. Mr. Gordon followed Mr. Hardeman. To-mor row we will send a continuation of the debate. After Mr. Gordon and the gentleman from Gwinnett, a question arose in regard to who should have tho concluding speech. Mr* Milledge made the decision which was confirmed by the House. The afternoon session has been long and stormy —they are still at it. We will try to do justice to all concerned in to-morrow’s letter of this after noon’s proceedings. R. G. Mr. Seward's European Analogy. Mr. Seward is one of the most specious and lu bricious, but one of the very loosest of reasoners. His historical citations are seldom accurate, and his analogies are often fanciful, and for purposes of illustration or corroboration no analogies at all. In his late Rochester speech—about which some of our Southern cotemporaries have been unduly exercised in our opinion—Mr. Seward, wishing to bring up some crushing modern instances against American slavery, remarked that “free labor had already supplanted slave labor in every State of Europe, except Russia and Turkey : and even those States, despotic as they were, are found en gaged in the abolition of slavery.” Now, slave labor in Europe, such as the speaker means,was quite a different thing from slave labor iu this country. Passing by the question whether free labor in Europe enjoys every advantage that a philanthropist could wish or a statesman con ceive ; passing by the disassociation of capital and labor there, a great chasm ever widening between the millionaire and the starving operative ; and granting, for the argument’s sake, that Europe is, in that respect especially, a model for America, we would suggest, as a fatal derogation from the force of the example, that African slavery never exist ed in Europe, except, possibly, to a limited extent in Turkey, that African slaves were never emanci pated therefore by the wholesale in Europe, and that consequently there is nothing in the history of white emancipation in Europe to show what should be done with black slavery in the United States. The truth is, instruction sets just the oth er way. The black slavery of this country, that is, the subordination of an inferior race, and that only and exclusively, opposed as it is to monopoly privileges and the oppressions of capital, and re cognizing as it does the true dignity and freedom of white men, can teach the free labor of Europe many a wholsome lesson. But Mr. Seward, be lieving the negro as capable of enjoying liberty as the white man, or the white man as lit to be a slave as the negro, is not the man to interpret the instruction.—A 7 . 0. Delta. The American Union can exist, and will exist, without the National Democracy, whenever that party is displaced from power, and the Govern ment controlled by honest national men, who look to the good of the country, instead of the pros perity of their party. If the Democracy is dis placed nationally, it does not follow by any means, that the Republicans would be placed in power, and if they were, what would be the difference ? —Selma lleporter. What would be the difference? Just the dif ference between Buchanan, who says that so long as he is in power, the laws shall be administered with equal justice to both sections of the Union, according to the Constitution, and Seward, who appeals to a higher laic than the Constitution, says that the black man has equal rights with the white man, and that the “Supreme Court shall be remodeled ,” so that this higher law may be car ried out. Just the difference between the Cincin nati platform, which gives to the South equal privileges witb the North in the territory of the United States, and the Republican platform whose cardinal doetrine is “no more slave state*.” Just the difference between the Democrat who says that we have a right to hold slaves as we hold horses, and the abolitionist, who hopes and r-vpects to live until not the foot of a single slave shall press American soil. That’s all the difference. Enough for those who believe in resistance to Abolition domination, but scarcely enough for those who believe a Southern Confederacy a “H ,” and Toombs and Hunter and Clay so many separate Satans. —(Montgomery Advertiser.)

WOOD'S HAIR RESTORATIVE. Almost every body has heard of Wood’s Hair Restorative. That the word Restorative in thi* case is no misnomer, we have the testimony of individuals whose elevated position in the country as well as their acknowledged and honorablo cha racter as gentlemen, render whatever they publiely asssertin the last degree reliable. Several of these have tested, personally, the hair preparation we are now speaking of, and certify to its amazing efficacy in the most public manner possible. Their certificates can be seen at the proprietor’s depot, 312 Broadway, New York, and once seen and properly appreciated, we have no hesitation in saying they will impress conviction on the most skeptical mind. Wood's Hair Restorative is, doubtless, the beet article of its kind ever yet pro duced. does not dye, but gives life, health and beauty to the decaying, falling and dead, restoring as if by magic, that which was supposed to be ir recoverably lost. Heads nearly bald, and others nearly white, are daily being changed to their pristine beauty, and facc3 covered with pimples are rendered as smooth as an infant’s, and blushing as a rose, all by the use of Prof. Wood’s Hair Re storative.

Those who have seen tiiis Grape are willing to testify in its favor. To those who are unac quainted with it we refer the following testimonial: Columbus, Ga., October 1858. MR. L. GORDY—Deak Sir: We the undersigned have seen and eaten of your delicious native Grape, and it affords us much pleasure to state, that we think we have never seen a Grape that would compare with it in excellence as a prolific bearer, lhe size of its fruit and bunches, and their une qualled flavor. We hope that you may have a stock of growing vine* of this valuable Grape sufficient to supply the large de mand you will have lor them. We recommend those of our friends who wish to raise the Grape, by all means to purchase vines ol you, as your Grape is, in our opinion, less liable to rot, and ripens more uniformly than any other variety that we have seen.

LOOKI LOOKI Startling Intelligence for Vox Populi f P CTURE ALLERY IN FULL BLAST, T HE undersigned announces to the citizens of Co s lunibus, and in fact to air Georgia, that he is now taking Pictures in as good style as they can be taken in the • Empire State,” either by a foreign or natnt ar tist. His prices range from that much despised sum— fifty cents to ten dollars. And although he does not pretend to say that he is the best artist in the United States, yet lie fears not the result of a comparison with those whose reputation is bolstered up by long adver tisements and null's of their own manufacture. He prefers that ladies and gentlemen should judge for themselves. And if those in want of a good Picture will tail and give him a trial, he will convince them that he fully understands the modus o/erandi of picture taking. All he wants is a fair and impartial trial, and he fears no competition from any quarter. His Gallery’ is over Barnard’s’ Store, Broad Street, where he will be happy to receive visitors and show them his specimens at all tim6. G. T.
