MACON, November 27, 1840.
A Meeting of the Citizens of Macon was held
at the Council Hall This Evening, when Benj.
F. Ross, Mayor pro tern, was called to the Chair
and David Reid, Esq., appointed Secretary.—
The Chairman stated the object of the meeting,
and declared it organized and ready to proceed
with the business that called the Citizens togeth
er—whereupon
J. 11. R. Washington, Esq. arose and made a
few remarks to the meeting, and was followed
by Washington Poe, Esq., who after a brief ad
dress, offered the following Resolution, which
was read, viz :
Resolved , That the Citizens of Macon consider
it inexpedient to take any steps in reference to
the removal of the Seat of Government; but
should the Legislature in its wisdom, consider
it proper to change the location of the Seat of
Government, and shall select the City of Macon,
we have full confidence in the Mayor and Coun
cil of the City of Macon, to make all necessary
arrangements to carry that object into cttect.
J; 11. R. Washington, Esq., moved a substitute
in lieu of the Resolution offered by Mr. Poe,
and after a few remarks from R. S. Lanier, Esq.
opposed to the substitute, it was withdrawn—
and A. P. Poivers, Esq., also made a few re
marks, stating that he also was in favor of the
Resolution offered by Mr. Poe, and moved its
adoption —when the Resolution of Mr. Poe was
read the second time and adopted unanimously.
J. 11. R. Washington, Esq., then made some
further remarks, and closed by offering certain
Resolutions, which were read and after consid
erable discussion by Messrs. Washington, Pow
ers, Lanier and others, and various alterations
and amendments, were read separately and a
dopted, as follows :
Resolved, That any attempt oil the part of
the Legislature of Georgia, to authorize or
farce a connection of the Rail Roads, either
through or around the City of Macon, in oppo
sition to the wishes or interests of the City,
would be a violation of our rights ; and should
receive the united resistance of every friend of
Maeon.
Resolved, That, if an amicable adjustment of
this subject, will not satisfy antagonist interests,
but justice and equity, private and vested rights
and every solemn obligation, must be trampled
under foot and cast aside, for public convenience,
then, and only then, do we insist that there
shall be no invidious distinctions against Macon.
But while we entertain the kindest and best
feelings towards our sister cities, and deprecate
any action by the Legislature which may tend
to build up rival cities in other States, still, the
rule shall be impartially applied at every point
—and every break or hindrance, on any ot the
great steam high-ways, within the limits of the
State, should ho promptly removed.
Resolved, That our Senator and Representa
tives in the Legislature, be, and they are here
by instructed to urge these views upon the Le
gislature, and engraft them upon whatever
measure that honorable body may adopt, touch
ing the premises.
Resolved, That a Committee of Five he ap
pointed by the Chair to report instanter, for the
adoption of this meeting, a respectful and so
lemn Protest, against the proposed action of the
Legislature on the subject of Rail Road con
nection at Macon—and that the same lie for
warded to the Mayor, now in Milledge.ville,
with the request that lie cause copies thereof to
he presented before each branch of the Legisla
ture, through our Senator and Representatives,
with whom lie is requested to co-operate during
the pendency of this question.
Resolved, That our Senator and Representa
tives be furnished by the Secretary with a copy
of these Resolutions.
The above Resolutions wore then severally
read and adopted by the meeting; and, in obe
dience to the fourth Resolution, the following
gentlemen were appointed on said Committee,
viz: Messrs. JamesH.lt. Washington, A.P.
Powers, James Rea, Washington Poe and R. A.
L. Atkinson.
Col. A. P. Powers then made a few remarks
and offered a supplement to the Resolutions, as
offered by Mr. Washington, which was, on mo
tion of Col. Atkinson, laid on the table.
The Chairman requested the said Committee
to retire and make up their Report, as desired
by the meeting,—when the Committee retired a
short time and returned—and through their
Chairman reported the following Protest—which
was read to the meeting, and unanimously
adopted as the sentiments of the City ofMacon :
I* It <» T IJ S T ,
Os the People of Macon and its vicinity, against
any' interference by the Legislature, with the
question of Rail Road connection at Macon,
unanimously concurred in, by a Public Meet
ing at Macon, on the27th of November, 1849.
To the Honorable the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives oj the State of Georgia, in General
Assembly met :
The Citizens of Macon and its vicinity, have
learned with deep regret, that propositions have
been made before both of your honorable bodies,
to force a connection of the Rail Roads at this
point, by conferring upon them Legislative au
thority to pass through or around the city.
Our regrets and mortification have been great
ly enhanced, since we have learned also, thut
those propositions have received your serious,
if not your favorable consideration.
Alarmed for our safety by the threatening
aspect of your proceedings, we have determin
ed to exercise the right guarantied to all, who
may he agrieved by Legislative action,and come
before your honorable bodies, with our solemn
Protest and Remonstrance, against the passage
of anv act which may have for its tendency the
violation of our rights and feelings by the arbi
trary' and gratuitous connection of tho Rail
Roads at Macon, in opposition to our will.
We appeal to you by the highest ami most
eloquent considerations to abstain from any in
terference with our local affairs—front the pas
sage of any act which shall cripple our resources
or obstruct our progress in the race of improve
ment.
We appeal to you, by the recollection of the
fact, that “the Cities of Savannah and Macon’*
were the original corporators under the Charter
of tho Central Rail Road Company.—By the
fact, that the said Company was incorporated
for tho purpose of constructing a Rail Road
“from the City of Savannah to the City of
Macon.” —By the fact, that the City of Macon,
under the provisions of said act of incorporation,
subscribed and paid Tiro Hundred and Fifty
Thousand Dollars, for the construction of a Rail
Road from Savannak to Macon,— not once cent
of which sum, would ever have been paid, if
there had not been a general and distinct under
standing that the Road was to terminate at Ma
con, and not pass through or around it. And by
the fact, that said Rail Road could never have
been built, and in all probability would never
bavc been begun without the aid of said sub
scription.
Again, we appeal to you, by the recollection
of the fact, that the late Monroe Rail Road
Company, (now the Macon and Western) was
originally chartered in like manner, toconstruct
a Rail Road “ from the City of Macon to the
town of Forsyth.”—By the fact that we sub
scribed and paid the sum of Fifty Thousand Dol
lars towards tli e construction of said Road,
which could not have been built without said
subscription.—By the additional fact, that the
City of Macon conveyed to the said Company
two large and valuable lots, on which all their
bouses and fixtures in Macon now stand, which
they were to have and use sixlong as they should
“continue to act as a Rail Road Company by
transporting goods to and from the City of Ma
con upon the Rail Road that shall terminate
at cither of said lots,” and which under said
Deed of Conveyance, must be forfeited by the
Company, whenever they locate their terminus
at any other point.—And, by the fact that we
have thus, by our direct subscription of Three
Hundred Thousand Dollars, secured the con
struction of these two Rail Roads, which, with
the exception of the single break at Macon,
form a continuous line of Rail Road communi
cation from Savannah to Atlanta, a distancoof
nearly three hundred miles—and which in its
operation, has brought the people of Western
Georgia, and Cherokee, with all of their valua
ble products, within two or three days (instead
of so many weeks) of the Atlantic ports.
Again, we appeal to you by the recollection of
the fact, that we have paid the State Twenty-
Five Thousand Dollars for an old Bridge across
tlie Ocniulgee riverat Macon, (long since swept
away by the flood) with the guarantee that we
should “have the perpetual and exclusive privi
lege of keeping up a Bridge at that place; and
no Bridge or Ferry across said river should be
erected, established, or allowed within three
miles therefrom, within a direct line, which
may or could, in anywise interfere with the said
Bridge by diminishing the profits or value there
of.”—And by the fact, that a connexion of the
Rail Roads at Macon, would diminish the profits
of said Bridge, which we have re-built at great
expense, more than one half.
Again weappeal to you, by tlie immense reve
nue which the State has iit various times deriv
ed from the sale of our City Lots—and still con
tinues to derive by taxation, from our Real
Estate and Merchandize, both of which are
rapidly increasing in value arid swelling the
resources by which you are to meet the debts of
tlie State.
By the recollection of the fact, that a tract of
land lying between Macon and the River swamp
was Reserved by a special Act of the Legisla
ture, passed 23d Dec., 1826, ntid set apart “ for
the preservation of the health of the inhabitants
of the town.” That in consequence of the
preservation of the Timber on said Reserve,
which has cost the City $l3O per year, for the
last twenty-three years, all previous expecta
tion has been disappointed, and the health of the
City has been preserved. That, town lots have
been greatly enhanced in value in consequence
of said Reservation, and no portion thereof,
much less thirty acres, as demanded by the Rail
Road Companies, could now he destroyed with
out imminent danger to the health and lives of
our citizens.
To the Members from tlie Cherokee country,
we especially appeal, by tlie recollection of the
fact, that Macon with middle and lower Georgia,
have chiefly furnished the means by which the
rocky barriers between your beautiful country
and the Sea, have been dug down, —a Railway
has been constructed from the Chattahoochee to
the Tennessee, and your lands—your stock—
your vegetable, mineral and geological products
have been quadrupled in value.
To each and every member from every quar.
ter of the State we appeal—we conjure you to
stand fast by the cause of justice and right,—
yield nothing to the prevailing disregard of pri
vate and vested rights. Do nothing wrong. Be
careful to maintain our good name. Fosterail
the great interests of the State by all the means
at your command. We have a great and glori
ous commonwealth. Her prosperity, her hopes,
her happiness are ours. For these, in common
with all her sons, we direct our highest efforts.
Already we have shaken the dust from our gar
ments, and entered upon the race of improve
ment, and we shall certainly win the goal if
your Honorable body oppose no obstructions in
our onward course.
By all of these high and solemn considerations
wo appeal to you to discard all Legislation upon
the connexion of the Rail Roads at this place,
and leave the matter to be adjusted as it trill be,
in due time, by the respective corporations.
And the Citizens of Macon, one and all, as in
duly bound, will ever pray, «Xic.
