Remarks of Mr. Harris of Meriwether, upon a
motion to reconsider the Bill giving State aid to
the Brunswick A Florida ai^ other Railroad
companies in tiie State of Georgia.
Spealur : The same reasons which influenc
ed my vote against the passage of the bill, now im
pel me to oppose a reconsideration of it; and I had
hoped, sir, after the decision of the House on Sa:-
uiday, when the previous question was called for
and demanded by uu able champion of the meas
ure, that we should be spared tlie further infliction
of considering this subject again.
“Tlie times have been.
That, when the brains w ere out the man would die,
And there an end ; but now they rise again .
W itli twenty mortal murders 011 tln ir crowns,
And push us from our stools.”
This soliloquy, though addressed to tlie oft re
peated rising of Banquo’s Ghost, is not the less ap
plicable to the bill before the House. I do not in
tend, Mr. Speaker, to discuss at length a question
which has already been so fully canvassed and so
thoroughly analyzed in all of its details. But, sir,
the magnitude, and I might add, the enormity of
the bill now pending, impells me to record my hos
tility to its passage. I regard this, Mr. Speaker, as
the most important, by far the most vitally impor
tant subject which has or will engage the attention
of this body; and, sir, that import mice is derived,
not from any beneficial effects which will accrue
to the State from its adoption, but, on the contra
ry, from the evil consequences which will inevita
bly follow in tlie wake of a measure, as unwise and
as unjust in policy, as it is dangerous in precedent.
Now, sir, I lay it down as a fundamental propor
tion—one which lias not, and cannot be refuted—
that in all State governments like this, where the
burdens of taxation fall equally upon all. that the
benefits and blessings of government should be
alike equally distributed. This proposition will, 1
apprehc-nd, command the assent of every intelli
gent mind. Is there one upon this floor who will
deny or question its truth ?
Now, sir, I undertake to say, and shall endeavoi
to establish the fact, that no man who assents to
the truth of this proposition, cstn consistently sup
port the measure before the House. Here is a bill,
or rather a series of bills, (for I class them all to
gether, becau.se they involve the same principles
and seek to accomplish the same ends by the samr
means) which pledges tlie credit and character ot
the State to the amount of three or four millions ol
dollars, and for what purpose ! Why, sir, to im
prove and developc sections, and those, too, giiiuli
srethns of country, by the aid of the people ot the
whule State. Now, 1 would ask, who are to lie
tiie bereficiaries of thn? sectional and class legisla-
latiuu ? Are the people of Middle and Western
Georgia to be its happy recipients ? Not so. How, j f*” 11 tbe £ f; .te against a:
this State, amounted in 1831 to $15,022,503. .The
average receipts from these public works for tliefour
years immediately preceding the period when these
statistics was compiled, was $371,277, or less than
2', per cent.
1 he 8tate e[ Maryland has invested in works of
Iineiim: Improvement—in Railroads and Canals—
$ *,7i n. : 4; and from this sum she has realized
scarcely nothing at all in the way of interest This
Stale has $3,900,000 invested in the Baltimore and
<!. .•> Railroad; $2,000,000 in the Baltimore and
8n- : | . anna Railroad, width, from 1638 to lri4t*,
a period ot 14 years, paid no interest whatever. It
is pel haps just to say that, w ithin a recent period,
these works have commenced to pay a small per
ct at. Iiidianna has invested in Internal Improve
ments, $ri 1,749,893. In this State the experiment
proved a total failure. Several of its most costly
public works nave been abandoned; others trans-
feiie . to private companies. With a million acres
ol public lam. donated by Congress, which extra
ordinary bounty induced tlie bond holders to un
dertake the completion of these works, thereby re
lieving tlie State from a most unprofitable specula
tion- 1 lie next, last and most instructive nit int-
nu nt ot the disastrous consequences ot this State
aid policy may be found in thejiistory ofthe State
of Illinois. 1 his State had invested in works of
Internal Improvement the sum of $15,000,06 ',
which proved almost an entire loss, and which
works now remain as a monument, a warning mon
ument, of the ruinous consequences of this policy.
b i:h ihese facts before me, I conclude that these
Georgia enterprises, begun under similar auspices
and prosecuted with like means, will be attended
with like results. \\ hat then is (lie consequence ?
The debt, amounting to several millions ©f dollars,
arrives at maturity. . Hew, I ask, is it to be met
and cancelled ? b ill you tell me by the liability of
the stnekhold jrs 7 Why, sir, the history of all cor
porations of this character proves that such a lia
bility is worth absolutely nothing—not even the
parchment upon which it is written. The last and
only recourse then for indemnity, is the property
itself. Now, sir, what a Railroad is worth which
cannot pay six per cent, upon its cost, I shall not
attempt to estimate. Who would become tlie pur
chasers of such property and at what price, are
questions which I do not presume to answ’er. Well,
then, the debt is saddled upon the State, and two
alternatives only arc left it; either the State of
Georgia—this high-toned, chivalrous State—the
empire State of tiie South, must repudiate its own
debts, plead bankruptcy, and blacken all over its
ow n fair escutcheon, or else inflict upon its citizens
such a tax as the oldest man upon this floor lias
never groaned under, and from which the youngest
of us will pray in vain to Ipi relieved. Mr. Speaki r,
the estimated expenses of the State of Georgia
amount now to well nigh half 11 million of dollars
annually. For this sum the people of the State
are already taxed, (1 do not say unjustly so); hut.
sir, shall we, their rcpresentati\ cs, upon this floor,
sustain a measure which, even by a remote possi
bility (if you please) will increase that burden, ad
infinitum 7 Sir, I hope not, I trust not. But, Mr.
si taker, the evil consequences of such legislation
arc nor confined to the bill upon your table. The
precedent will have been established, and in poli
tics ns well as in private life, 011c false step invaria
bly begets another; combinations of local and sec
tional interests will spring up, strong enough when
united, to carry measures fur public appropriations
which could not of themselves, if standing upon
their own merits, succeed. These combinations
will, in Georgia as in other States, lead to was*. 1
and extravagant expenditures of the public money
But besides all this, Mr. Speaker, I regard such a
policy as unjust aud oppressive in its operation up
on those portions of the State whose Representa
tives and people believe the exercise of such a
power inexpedient* ar.d improper, and who, while
they contribute to the treasury, cannot consistently
with their opinions engage in the general competi
tion for the public money.
Lastly, sir, such a policy will engender sectional
feelings and jealousies, thereby array ing one por-
w-
%Sl
the gentle wave and we to ‘‘that sweet restorer,
balmy sleep,” with very little thought or care, what
destiny might oveitake one humble member of the
crew. But “The Divinity that shapes our ends”
in hovering gentleness drew near,sunl the passage
across that frequently boisterous coast, was such
a one as disarms a wight on the Ocean Wave, of
the dread of a home on the ruling Sea.

then, 1 submit the inquiry, can any man, who as-
sonls to the principle that ail legislation should be
equal and impartial in its operation, sustain a meas
ure which confers peculiar and almost exclusive
benefits upon certain sections and localities 7 I
know, sir, that it is said by the advocates of this
bill, that it is au object of State importance. Grant
it for the sake of the argument, 'i lien 1 would
ask, how arc such measures to be restrained orliin-
ited 7 AViil you tell me to state objects 7 .What an-
they? Who shall define them 7 Even man believes
that tlie projects which w ill benefit his quarter ot
the State, his county, his town, his farm it may be,
or iiis occupation, to be an object of State import
ance. Every one believes this, I say, because he
wishes himself to become the centre of important
interests. And why not 7 Every individual is an
integral member of the whole community; his
welfare and prosperity is a portion of the general
welfare and prosperity; the State is composed of
individuals, and the welfare of each individual is
aud must be an object of State impivtancc. So
vou perceive the door is wide enough to admit all
kinds of applicants.
But we are here met again with tlie argument,
that such legislation should be limited to State ob
jects alone. Sir, is that a State object which inter
ests only a dozen or twenty counties 7 If so, w ill it
cease to he such' when it concerns only a balf-doz
e:i, three, two or one 7 Where, then, shall we draw
the line of separation ’ Must we go back to the
onc-third, one-fourth, or the onc-tentli part of the
State, until we again reach the indii idual ? Such,
sir, is the irresistible course of the argument. Ma
ny objects, I grant, of a community or an individ
ual may be highly laudable and praiseworthy, ad.
din fr to the aggregate wealth and glory of a State,
but does this constitute an argument why they
should be made the pets of Government 7 No lim
itation, Mr. Speaker, in fact or in practice, can ev
er be affixed to this policy. It will be wise, there
fore, before we enter upon this wild scheme—be
fore we approach this absorbing whirlpool into
which the treasury of the State is invited to pour
itself, to pause and reflect.
Again. Mr. Speaker, it is assumed by the inge
nious advocates of this measure, and urged as an
argument in favor of its adoption, that the State in
curs no risk or liability whatever—that it will nev
er be <yilied upon to redeem these bonds, and that,
should such a contingency ever arise, that there is
ample security and indemnity provided for in tin-
liability of the stockholder and the intrinsic valu
of the property. Without meaning, Mr. Speaker,
to reflect upon the integrity of gentlemen who
make these statements, I must be allowed to sa.'
that facts and figures warrant no such concliisioi
I have yet to learn, sir, that Railroad enterprise)
are exempt from those vicissitudes and fluctuation
nliich are incident to everything else; and it doe
sometimes occur that they become a drain upon
the pocket rather than a source of revenue. To
be convinced of this fact, one has only to call to
mind the Monroe Railroad, and more recently,
that monument of Georgia enterprise, the b esten
A Atlantic, which, until a very recent period, ha
served rather to deplete than enrich the Stat>
treasury. But, sir, a strong ir argument still nm.
be deduced and perhaps a more instructive lesson
taught by recurring to the history of this policy i
those States w here it lias been adopted and fairh
tested. Tiie first State !o which I direct attention-
is that of Pennsylvania; aud let me here remark,
that the statistics to which I refer, are of undoifbt-
ed authenticity, not gotten up for tlie present pur
pose, but taken from a work which is known and
respected throughout the w hole country for its great
accuracy and reliability. By reference, sir to Hunt’s
Merchants Magazine, vol xx, page 258, it w ill be-
found that the State works of Pennsylvania com
prise 118 miles of Railroad and 5;41 miles of Canal
The aggregate cost of these works amounted in
1651 to the sum of $30,057,057. The average rev
enue from this source for the three years immedi
ately preceding this period, amounted to $485,541
annually, or a per centage on the prime cost of
about 1 6-10. $0 much for Pennsylvania. Fur
ther comment is unnecessary. The next State to
which I refer is Ohio. The cost of public works in
and giving to le-
gislation a political bias which never fails to para
lyze the energies of a people and must result in an
entire destruction of that cordial co-operation and
good feeling which .are indispensable alike to the
happiness of all aad the augmentation of our great
ness and wealth as a State.
In conclusion, Mr. Speaker, let me again say
that the people of Georgia have a deep and vital in
terest in this question. It is one which concerns
not only them but their posterity, and in their name
as w e ll ns in tlie name of tho constituency which
I have the honor in part to represent, I protest
against the passage of a measure so iniquitous in
itself and so pregnant with mischief in the future.
Millard Fillmore.—A coteroporary
has the following truthful passage in r v
gard to Mn.lard Fillmore :
Millard Fillmore is to day the star t>
ward whose cheering light thousands 1 1
eyes are turned for deliverance from ou
present troubles. He is a statesman of
high intellect and firm resolve, a patrio.
pure and incorruptible. AVe have tried him
in tlie time of danger, and he has proved
himself worthy of his tinst. Like the
hero of Buena Vista, “he was baptized in
fire and Idood and came outsteel.” Ilispa-
triutisrn is bounded by no Mason and Dix
on line; it is as broad as tlie prairies and
forests, the lakes and livers of our conti
nent, com prebend ing all in common broth-
ertiood.

OBITUARY.
Departed this life on the 21st ult., after a protract
ed illness James Pve, aged eighty-five years ten
mouths and fourteen days, leaving a large circle of
relations and friends to irnnrn his loss.
Io.es of a Traveller—Texas.
The readers of your paper may be pleased to
hear the impressions which a somewhat, extensive
travel through Texas made upon my mind, when I
inform you that the description of the country shall
be impartial and such as they will find to be correct,
should a roving propensity over the Western wilds
ever prompt a trip of adventure. Leaving the
county of Putnam, wont out with protracted spoils
of chills and fever, I parted with my dearest arid
best friends with as little to cheer the heart and
stimulate the hope as it is generally the lot of mor
tals to experience. Before reaching Columbus, I
fell in company with a gentleman from an adjoin
ing county, en route fo.' Western Texas. In Mont
gomery. the face of an old townsman, was very
joyously behold, destined to Eastern Texas. On
the Alabama river, Dr. II. 5 . M. Miller, the elo*
quout Orator and polite gentleman, from Rome, Ga.,
took pas age 011 board with us, for the same direc
tion. A gentleman from Athens and another from
Talbot, concluded the number of Georgians, with a
promiscuous throng h. m all the joining States,pro
ceeding to every point of the compass, westward.
In Mobile, we became scattered as a flock of sheep,
Mr. Wingfield and myself stopping at the Battle
House, tlie most magnificent Hotel in the city- He
stopping with his friends, the others proceeding to
New Orleans, to Smith, Henderson and Rusk coun
ties, via Shreveport. I remaim ii iu the city fur
two days, and on the morning of the third day,
greeted my friend, who left us in Mobile, in the
Reading Room oftlie famous St. Charles Hotel, soon
to take passage in tho -'learner Mexico, for Galves
ton, acity of about seven thousand inhabitants, level
and beautifully situated, blooming in tropical
shrubbery, regularly built, but lahing short of that
appearance, the Seaport of the quondam Republic,
should make in the blaze of the 19th Century, and
in the progress of manifest destiny. But a truth
dawneu upon my mind that made such a satisfacto
ry explanation that tlie appearance of Galveston,
in the size and structure of its buildings, was by r >
means behind the age. The want of lumber and
the expense of building material. The lumber is
imported and consequently high Three Commer
cial ami.Political newspapers ably edited aud well
printed, the Galveston News, more Neutral aud
Commercial than partisan, conservative iu tone,
advocating the doctrines and principles of the
Georgia Platform, is in my opinion the best paper
in tin State. It is about the size of the Chronicle
& Sentinel, of Augusta, Ga. The Civilian Ga
zette is a partlzau Democratic paper, of the unter-
itied school. Tlie Confederate, is a bold, fearless
and I might add^msh and terrible Know Nothing
Organ, with such marks of decided ability, as
wed might in my opinion, be employed in a more
successful cause. The Christian Advocate JSl Jour
nal wit'n its weekly issue of love to God and man
tells tlie story of Redeeming love and pointing to
the .Sacrifice ami blood of the Tree and the Cross,
as the Hope of tlie World and the chief end of ex
istence. We were treated in Galveston in that cor
dial aud hospitable manner, by a young and talent
ed member of the Bar, to a ride over the city and
on the Beach, that induces a stranger to place a
higher estimate upon human nature than we are
sometimes prone to form.
The Steamboat up to Houston, bore away all
the acquaintances we had formed on the route, with
one exception, and the Mexico again launched into
the briny deep, the sun rose to brightness aud to
light and sank again to rest in the placid bosom of

Lord Clarendon and Mr. Buchanan mere
ly had a conversation on the subject. The
documents state, however, that Mr. Cramp-

The message was debated and ordered to
