and exposes the injustice attempted to be done
them. Let the unprejudiced, read and judge for
themselves.
“I regret to see that an effort lias been made by
some of our democratic papers to represent two of
the members of the House of Representatives from
Georgia, Messrs. Foster and Trippe, as having act
ed politically with the Black Republicans in effect
ing the organization of the House. I had hoped
that the time was past when this sort of warfare
upon southern men ofany party would be atteinj
ed for who can so abuse his undeittan iiug as
believe that any sane man, born and reared south
of Mason and Dixon’s line, can prove so utt
lost to all the obligations of duty and patriotism, as
to strike down the interests of his own sectiou
the country.
‘"Surely I need not say to you, that no members
from any State, are more free from any sort of adin-
ty w ith the bigoted sectionalists who now control
the national House of Representatives. None
lie found more faithful to the rightsaud interests of
the South—none can feel more wounded timl
wronged at an intimation to the contrary. Througl
out the long struggle for the Speakership they act
ed with the national men of their party; and final
ly, w hen the contest, under the plurality vote,<the
adoption of which they firmly opposed) was nar
rowed down to a choice between Gov. Aiken and
Mr. Banks, they were found where all the friends
of the South rallied, abandoning for the time, thei
own distinct party organization and casting their
votes for the South Carolina Democrat. Thus, at
the only time when there was even a chance of
their votes being felt against the abolition candi
date, they were east in the balance freely. That
this abandonment ol their own peculiar organiza
tion was not productive of a happier result, none
can deplore more deeply than they did, none can
be less responsible than they.
Again : The votes of these two gentlemen lor
Gen. Cullom as Clerk, are paraded as w orthy of
special condemnation, because also a number of
Black Republicans voted for him,* when it is
known that the appointment is one involving no
political, principle and important only because of
the little patronage attaching to it. Mr. Cullom-
!. is true, voted against the Kansas-Xqbraska Li 1 ^
in the last-Congress—but so also did Gen. Willson,
Democrat, of Va., and Mr. Etheridge, Whig,of Ten
nessee, both ot whom have been re-elected bv
southern constituencies, and against whom we sup
pose no one will Le hardy enough to raise a ques
tion as to their fidelity to the South. Besides, it is
well understood here, that Gen. (hillom opposes the
repeal of that bill, and would war against it were
be now a member of the House.
“The plain truth is, politics entered but little into
the election of the officers of tlie Ilousee below the
-Speaker. The nominee of the Democratic party
for Sergeant-at-arms w as elected by the aid of these
t.vo gentlemen, while every officer elected, who
1 ad been nominated by the Black Republicans,
t as elected against their votes. In other words, of
ail the officers elected, none but two. Gen. Cnllom,
t ie Clerk, and Mr. Glossbrenner, the Sergeant-at-
arms, are sound on the slavery question—and these
are precisely the only two for whom Foster and
-- rippe voted successfully. Surely there cannot be
gathered from the record so far made up by these
gentlemen, the slightest ground for questioning
their fidelity to the South.”
•Though supported by a portion of the Republi
can party, Mr*. Cullom was not the nominee of that
party, lie is a southern man, with the warmest
.- rid most loyal southern feelings, his anti-Nebraska
vote to the ccontrary notwithstanding.
Atlantic and Gulf Railroad—A Protest,
Mr. Dlnagan of Hall asked leave to have the
f blow ing protest entered on the Journals, which
was agreed to.
The undersigned being" deprived ot speaking by
the call of the previous question, ask leave to enter
their protest upon the journals of the Senate against
the partial and unjust provisions of the bill to incor
porate the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, for tlie rea
sons herein set forth, to-w it: •
It appropriates all the money in the Treasury not
otherw ise appropriated, and all the nett earnings of
the State Road, w ith the definite subscription of
State bonds by-the Governor of one million of dol-
ars, and an insidious and indefinite amount which
may amount to more than another million, andyr-t
notwithstanding these high favors, their property
is only nominally taxed, while the laws of every
portion of the Stafe and upon every species of pro
perty must be continued to support this favorite
Company to the exclusion of all others, when tlie
people had a just right to ex pest that, their taxes
would be lightened by the earnings.of the Sta'tc
Road, as all the people have onerously contributed
to build that Road, which was built lor the benefit
of all portions of the State, but especially for the
cotton-growing region. A brief recurrence to the
history of the origin of railroads in this State will
warrant the undersigned in their conclusions. The
State had granted a charter of exclusive privilege
to the Georgia Railroad Company to the Tennessee
line. South Carolina was attempting to unite the
Mississippi valley by running a road by tlie way "of
Warm Springs to Cincinnati Georgia being anx
ious to divert the route through her own soil, met
in Convention in Macon, and concocted a plan of
railroads by which the Georgia Railroad Company
was to give up her charter west of the east hank of
the Chattahoochee, and the State was to build a
road from this point tu the Tennessee line. This
was a reconciliatory measure, which w as endorsed
by legislative enactment, intending thereby to form
a central chain of roads through the centre of the
State, by which to afford a convenient opportunity
for every section of the State to connect with this
central chain, and now, forsooth, we are told that
the great State work through Cherokee Georgia is
only conferring sectional benefits, and that there
fore the State must aid at an expense of millions to
build a road from the Atlantic to the Chattahoochee
below Fort Gaines, which never can be a paying
road, and therefore the •money expended by the
State will never return again to the people. These
and other considerations induce the undersigned
to enter their solemn protest against the passage of
[COHTIXUED.]

State House, and for other purposes.

G eorgia, Baldwin county.
We, the Grand Jurors chosen and select^
for the February Term, 1856. would respectfully
submit the following as out presentments.
That we have examined the books of the Clerk#
of the Superior and Inferior Courts, apd of the Or
dinary, and find the records kept up to date aud ia
neat urder. -
The County Treasurer reports a balance in hi#
hands of $161-8 19, which is shown by the prope#
vouchers for the sums paid out.
The account of the Ordinary shows a balance ia
his hands of $6«)2 64 of the fund se; apart for tb#
payment t of teaching poor children. The list cf
children entitled to the benefit of this fund is very
imperfect. .Many are known to have been tau|M
by several teachers of this county, who arc denied
their share of this fund tc the amount of over two
hundred dollars, because of the .neglect of the pro
per authorities to- place their names on the list.—
We would most earnestly urge tiie remedy provid
ed bv law for this defect. p
We would respectfully sit omit, that the present
law on the suffiect of making up the 1L„ is ineffi
cient to accomplish the end desired.
We find iheJainKeii kept/md in good condition
except the roof, wiiick we^ec'.i ime;. 1 should be
repaired forthwith. ATsoVtlie Coart-house in had
repair, especially the ra^L which we recommend
the Inferior Court to taJno^paired without delay.
