* Rail Road Companies and the Press.— Our
neighbor of the Messenger very properly rebukes the parsi- :
uionious spirit of the Georgia Rail Road Company, as evinc- I
4 bv their late resolution to abolish entirely the system of
fVrr Tickets, to Kditors, Clergymen, dee. in the following ‘
language -
‘ Xij public enterprises owe so nmch to tlie public press as j
the Railroads, and in no State has tlie power of that press
, n so fearlessly or so faithfully extended as in the State of
Georgia. It has not only spoken the roads into existence, but
| KW unstained their sinking credit, and contributed greatly to
wards placing them in a jmsition to put remunerating profits
in the pocket* of their stockholders. Tlie newspapers have
published for the roads abstracts of their reports and proceed
ing, as well as notices of their improvements, amounting to
thousands of dollars worth per annum, tlieir only return being
the privilege of an occasional ride upon tlie roads. How does
11 Georgia Road propose to requite that kindness on the part
..f the press ? In the midst of its prosperity, and at a time
when it* officers boast of overflowing coffers, they enter into
j nn agreement to kick Editors, Preachers, and all Officers of
j Railroads, and their free tickets, tuieeretnoni. >aaly out of their
var s! Is this right, is it generous ? The members of the
j.ri'ss have not hitherto spoken out freely upon this subject in
other States. The impression has obtained that Editors are
a kind of pensioners because they are allowed the use of free \
lirkrtx. Such is not the fact. Xo tickets are half so dearly’ :
paid for. To say nothing of the time consumed in writing, ;
the actual cash expenditure in the various printing offices, for ‘
setting up gratuitous Railroad matter, would pay for all the
Railroad riding of all the Editors of the Suite thrice over. —
‘IV obligation is on tlie part of the companies, and not on the
part of the Editors: and if the former persist in their injus
[ tk-e, the latter are bound to act upon the defensive.”
We concur fully with the views here presented, and deem the j
i r ,-marks of the Messenger equally appropriate to other public j
„ r private improvements which have grown to greatness and ‘
importance, under the fostersng care and gratuitous support J
~f the press. For example, the Messenger of Tuesday, in j
the column from which the foregoing extract is taken, pays a !
hiuilsome compliment to the “Georgia Watering Places.”
y o w, the Proprietors of these places of public resort would
f,:l it 1 1 their interest to give season tickets to him and to ev
er? other Editor ill the State. It would be the most effectual
p!,vi to bring into notice all the capabilities of these places to eon
tribnte to the comfort of the public, and would be the best in
v.nniient., consequently, on the part of the Proprietors, even
if the free ticket privilege were used to the fullest extent. But j
that very seldom or n-ver the case. Editors have little time i
f. i travel and would not abuse the privilege, if extended to
thorn.
We therefore svond the Messenger’s motion to print noth
in*;. hereafter, that will benefit these soulless corporations, un
til they manifest a spirit of liberality and justice to that often
lord an 1 inuc.li abuse 1 class of the community—the Editors
—and will allow the latter to become the usufructuaries of
Kail Roads and other improvement*, to the success of which
I they have so largely and so disinterestedly contributed.
The Xow Paper at M asliinsrlon — Some of the
hotspur” prints are crowing lustily at the movement mak
ing to establish a Southern paper at Washington, and affect to
j think it a rebuke of those Southern prints that are opposed to
I tin- Nashville Convention ! We did not so regard the move
i ii.* nt an I gave it our hearty approval, because we thought that
die Washington papers were too much overshadowed by
Northern influttli'-e to he the true exponent*of Southern teel
iiio* and interests. But if the wind sits in the quarter indi-
I eated, ami the new Journal is to an exponent of a mere fae-
I tion, in the South, that are but as one to ten of the whole,
I ivliv, let os know it, and we shall, very soon wash our hands
I of any favoritism we have felt for the movement. A sectional
■
I Southern Press, at Washington, can do no good, while one
I devoted to the best interests of the re hole. Southern people
I Mould be a powerful aid in tlie defence of our Constitutional
| right*. Os the latter we think, favorably, but would give no
I countenance to the former. What then, say the Commit
[ tec? Is the new paper to be above all local and party influ-
I enre. or is it to be the exponent of the ultra views and mca-
I sttres of only a fractional part of the South ? We pause tor
Ia reply.

Ail the ft>;)ls nsl dead yet. —Some weeks since, in

I tii/.t h was a South Carolinian by birth, hut we took jio ex-
I C’ ptiou to that circumstance, nor iu Iced to the fact that he
I was one of the “Chivalry. ’’as wo believed him to be and as
I we know many to he even out of the Palmetto State.
” eil, for this “rent offence, wo have been arraigned by a
I swv!l -'l-head Editor, up country, ns a “submissionist” and by
I inclination as a malignant liar, in the following sneaking
I and contemptible manner:—
“Thebelief in universal salvation must ho very comfort a
l’ to those who can state that a man was born where he

Xmv, we would like to know, by wliat sort of ‘‘hocus po-
M the words‘‘Universal salvation.” happened to be intro
‘■need into the above article ? Was it for tlie “magnanimous
purpose” of prejudicing people against the views of the per
? n assailed as a “submission Editor,” on account of his reli
gious belief? Judging the assailant by his own standard of
imputed motive, we can arrive at no other conclusion. “Out
‘ own mouth is lie condemned,” as a malicious slanderer,
lie stieeringly attribn.cs to us a religious belief which makes
” ”uifor*;ihle v and easy for us to lie without any coneciva
k‘*‘p trpoac of benefit to ourselves or others! Was there
* T ’ r such a brazen confession made by a man, of Jus own
“total depravity ! ? ’ By fair inference from his premises, lie
thereby proclaims to the world that a far different motive aetu
avs his conduct, and that nothing but the fear of “old Scratch”
j fvvents him from lying or rolling under Ijis tongue any other

raging in Charleston that morning when the cars left for Au

HOW it V. Orks •-—“Oglethorpe,’’ the “Washington Cor
respondent of the Savannah Georgian, thus rebukes the con
duct of some Southern Senators, touching the compromise
Bill:
“I do not think Southern Senators are acting wisely in thus
attacking tlie Bill and keeping the whole argument to them
selves. Ihe I’ ree Soilers are exulting over this state of things
und arc looking on with great composure. They had no
iuea, three weeks ago, that they would be reinforced bv such
powerful allies. Mr. Ilale, who had succeeded in obtaining
the floor, yielded it with perfect grace to his Southern friends,
Mr. ( leinens and 4 nice; and even Thomas If. Benton steps
modestly aside to ailoud the Southern ultras an opportunity of
committing suieulc. It was Mr. Clemens who had begged
Mr. Douglas to make the motion to lay the whole matter on
the table, upon the California Bill, by itself, and Mr. Douglas
chose a very opportune moment to do so, when two Southern
Senators (Messrs. Mason and Pierce) were absent from the
Chamber, and, as I beiieve, from \\ asliington. Such “splen
did opportunities’’ to defeat the Bill will occur again, and
they will be similarly improved.”
Vi lint think ye, of this fraternization of Southern ultras
with Northern abolitionists ? Clemens and llalc, Yulce and
Seward—all on the same platform, battling against tlie Com
promise'. Extremes have met. “Birds of a feather,” &e.
Benefit of Advertising:
Some five years ago, a young man by the name, of B ,
started a small drygoods store in a little brick house, which
he rented on fourth street, Cincinnati, with a capital of less
than two hundred dollars. Half of his profits the first three
months he paid out for advertising in tlie daily papers of said
city. By selling cheap, and by letting the people know
where he was, crowds came to purchase of him, which en
abled him to make ready sales and quick returns. Thus he
has continued, and now that same Mr. B is the proprie
tor of a large wholesale warehouse in Cincinnati, and is
worth upwards of twenty thousand dollars. — Exchange.
It will he admitted, on all hands, that the Ladles are the
best customers of the Dry Goods Merchants and Fancy Dia-
lers. Those who advertise should therefore remember this
fact in the selection of a journal, as tlie medium of their ad
vertising favors. That paper which goes into the family par
lor, extensively, and is not confined, as most political journals !
are, to the counting room, work shop and grocery, is the one
to he preferred, in all cases, by those who regard their own
interests. It is indeed throwing money away to advertise j
Dry Goods in papers which the Indies never see nor care to *
see. “\\ hoso rcadeth, let him understand.”

.Hr. Clay's Speech:
The Washington com.-pendent of the Baltimore Sun thus
speaks of Mr. Clay's last ellort (on the 21st inst.) in reply to
Mr. Soule, of Louisiana :
“There is no other conversation here than eulogistic com
ments on Mrr. Clay’s speech of yesterday. It is, by the old
est Senators, pronounced the greatest speech ever delivered
in the Senate of the United States, and equal, if not superi
or, to the magic oratory of the same extraordinary man, du
ring tlie last war with England, in the House of Representa
tives. There was the same impassioned eloquence, the
same gushing forth of high, patriotic sentiments, and the same
irresistible argument in favor of all that is dear to American
hearts. Clay probably never appeared in his life to such ad
vantage. The occasion seemed to call for such an effort; the ’
proud theme of the Union was worthy of the man! His
words sank deep into the hearts of his hearers; and though the j
prospects of compromise weregloomy, in Iced, for the last four ■
or five days past, it is clear that public opinion is coming to
the rescue; and that the patriots throughout the land, will
yet unite on the platform laid down by the report of the com
mittee.
New kii;(l of Insurance —The Lafayette Insurance !
Company of Indiana is about to pursue anew business in
new York. !t lias a capital of $150,000, which will be em
ployed in insuring the full payment of notes, bonds and other j
evidences of debt in that city. The Courier remarks:
The enterprise is anew one, but it lias long been discussed ;
and agitated as a necessary appendage to the growing busi- j
ness of the city. For this convenience we are mainly in- I
■ debted to Messrs. Woodward A Dusenbcry, who have turn
ed their attention to this matter for the last eight years: and !
we must say, in justice to these gentlemen, after viewing
their modus operandi, that the plan is well conceived, and i
cannot fail to be successful, as their past business fully j
shows.”

Coining to the Rescuer.— Gen. Waddy Thompson,
the Hon. It. J. Walker, and Mr. Stewart, late U. S. Senator :
| from Maryland, are all out iu favor of Mr. Clay's Compro- !
| niisc Bill. It is also said that the lion. James Buchanan will
j also soon send in his adhesion to the plan proposed by the |
. Committee of 13, to settle the pending difficulty on the slave- j
: ry question. Mr. Walker thus expresses himself on the sub
ject to the Hon. Mr. Foote :
I “In this period, then, of common danger, let us all now
) fc<-'l that this American Union is indeed the last experiment
’ of self-government; and if it shall now he overthrown, free
> dom will forever disappear, amid the scoffs of exulting tyrants ‘
j and the groans of a world in bondage. The startling and mo- j
: mentous question to which we must all now answer is this : 1
; Shall this Union be preserved and perpetuated ? Audit
seems to me clear, that this can only be accomplished by ad
hering to the constitution upon which it rests—by holding sa
! ered and maintaining all its provisions, guaranties, and com- j
! promises, and especially that fraternal spirit in which it was ■
framed, and all its powers should be exercised. If both see- i
tions should say, we will have no compromise, it is equivalent j
to declaring that wc will have no l nion. The Union itself I
is a compromise. The constitution is the greatest midmost
glorious compromise ever achieved by mail. From tlie elo- j
queni and successful appeal of Franklin for mutual confer- |
enee and concession, when the convention which framed-tlie j
constitution was about dissolving in discord and confusion, to i
the closing congratulation of Washington, when the work
was accomplished, compromise—compromise is plainly writ
ten in all its provisions, mul in every page of tlie debates
where Madison records its great and eventful history. In
truth, all government is a compromise between rights sur
rendered and rights retained.
That this bill, then, is a compromise is its highest praise.—
Nor is it a sufficient ground for opposition, that some of us
would in some respects prefer different provisions. That is
n>t the question to which the practical and patriotic states
man 1 called upon to re pond. The only true qne. tion r this .
?SS BI©E &I JL SHISII.
Is not this bill better tlian any that can passed, and better
than to leave this controversy open and undecided. Is it not
better to pass this bill than, by its defeat, to rekindle the
flames ot sectional excitement and agitation ?—better than
that the government should abandon its duties, with the hu
miliating acknowledgment, proclaimed in the face of all the
world, that tlie American Congress is incompetent to settle
this alarming controversy ? Taken as a whole, I regard this
bill as eminently wise, fraternal, just and patriotic, and far
better than any other prabticablc alternative. It is free from
all constitutional objections; it is not a victory of the North
or of the South; it is not a triumph of any party or section,
but of the Union. I rejoice to see tliat you will sustain this
measure. A grateful country will thank you for it, and will
enroll your name as one of that immortal hand of the Con
gress of 1830, of whom faithful history will say. These are
the patriots and statesmen who saved the American Union.—
I cannot doubt but that your able, gallant, eloquent and patri-
in the Senate will be found with you on this try
ing occasion. Never did this country stand in more need of
his services; no, not even when he perilled his life and shed
his blood beneath her banner, turning the doubtful strife in fa
vor of his country, and covering his own name, and that of his
own beloved Mississippi, with immortal honor. His country
is again in danger—again she calls him to the rescue, and we
all know lie will never decline such a summons. Your able,
faithful, and patriotic colleague from Mississippi, in the House,
surely will be with you also. They have nobly sustained their
country's cause, in many a period of difficulty and danger,
and will never falter at such a crisis as this. Have you not
also with you the able, experienced, and patriotic Senator
from alabuma, one of tlie Fathers of the Senate, now presi
ding over its deliberations, and devoted to his native South ?
You have also with you the eminent patriot and statesman
from the empire State—the early, constant, and devoted
friend ofthe Union. Pennsylvania, too, must now prove
herself worthy to be called the keystone of the glorious arch,
settling stronger and firmer in her great position with the
weight of the pressure that is broughl to bear upon her. And
Texas, too, baptized in blood, and crowned with victory,
whom I toiled for years to bring back within the folds of the
American banner—she will also render her name immortal,
if the Union should be saved by her vote. You have also
too, an eloquent and intrepid leader.
Opposed, as I have been, to most of his public measures, I
have been always with him in his great and patriotic endea
vors to preserve the Union—with him, in 1820, for the Mis
souri settlement—with him, in 1833, for tlie compromise tar
iff—and with him now in his glorious efforts to save and pre
serve tlie Union. And how infinitely are such achievements
above all the pride and trappings of office; and how miserable
are they all when compared with the fame of the patriot who
lias truly served and saved his country! Offices of them
selves are but empty pageants, and most of those who hold
them rarely remembered. Even the regal robes and imperi
al purple cover hundreds of forgotten names and graves; but
Cicero, the orator, statesman and patriot will five forever; and
so will he, too—immortal and unprecedented honor—who
thrice shall have saved the Union. And you, also, great and
patriotic statesmen of the North and Northwest—“you tread
no step backwards;” and for the future, as for the past ofthe
present session, yours will be steps of honor, praise and glo
ry—standing on the solid ramparts of the constitution, firm as
the granite of your native State, and elevated as its loftiest
mountain peak that lifts its summit to the skies.”
The Way (o do it.
A “Citizen” in tlie Mobile Tribune, presents the
following as his Preamble and Resolutions to be
acted on generally by the people of the South, in
reference to Northern agression. That he is a man
of sense, we think, will be admitted by all :
Whereas, the late resolutions of the Senate of Massachu
setts were passed with a view to condemn tlie conciliatory
course of policy advocated by their illustrious senator in Con
gress, Daniel Webster; and whereas the New England
.States in particular have forgotten that their unparalleled
prosperity and wealth are derived from southern exports and
are the fruits ofsouthern slave labor, and whereas tlie violent,
unjust and continued iqqi'no >u to eoutheru rights on tin
part of the northern sections of the Union also requires that
we should protect ourselves against their fanaticism ; now,
therefore, it is considered expedient tliat the citizens of Mo
bile and of tlie State of Alabama, iu their respective coun
ties hold meetings for the purpose of deliberating upon the .
most elleetual means of securing safety to our homes and re
spect to our constitutional rights.
The following resolutions I beg leave to submit to their con- 1
sideratiou;
Resolved , That an association of our citizens, sound in i
the maintenance of Southern principles, and devoted to the j
interest of the southern country, should be formed for the pur
pose of encouraging home industry in all its branches, and •
rendering the South independent of all individuals and cor
porations, and societies, inimical to her domestic policy.
Resolved, That we purchase from the North nothing that
can bcobtaiud from the South.
Resolved. That we reject, as lies in our power, the mer
chandise and produce of the northern States, hostile to south
ern institutions. An l for such merchandise as is indispensa
ble, let it be bought from the southern merchant who lives
and dies in tlie South, rather than from the northerner, whose
earnings here are sooner or later transferred to the North.
Resolved, That we. encourage southern industry , by
ceasing at once the purchase of ready made clothing coming
from the North. This importation to Mobile of boots, shoes,
shirts, coats, &e., Arc., is a reproach and disgrace to us. Our
own tailors, shoe-makers, dress-makers mid semstresses are i
at least tvs skilful as those of any other land. Let them
meet with the encouiagemcnt they deserve.
Resolved , That we encourage southern agriculture by
giving preference to all produce cultivated in the southern
States, viz: by using southern flour and not northern, corn |
instead of oats, and fodder instead of bay. That we drink 1
no ale, porter, or eider made in the north ; but encourage tlie ;
growth of Southern hops and apples, and the establishment 1
of southern breweries.
Resolved , That we encourage southern manufacturers
by consuming their goods in preference to all others ; and
that wc use every exertion to extend their number and vari- 1
otv. That we give every encouragement to the new paper’
mill, just going into operation near Mobile.
Resolved, That we reduce the cost of foreign goods bv en
. . . . an J . j
couraging direct importations of all foreign merchandise which
we have until now imported through the North only—that !
foreign commercial houses favorable to Southern interest and ,
policy he encouraged to establish branches and agencies
among us, that our retail merchants may supply themselves
at home, without the risk, trouble and expense of importa
tion from the North.* The .European markets would re
quire a supply of our agricultural productions in exchange
for their goods, in the ratio of our imports, thus giving vitali
ty and stability to a direct trade; The cost ofthe goods would
be so materially lessened as to make us independent of the
North for them, and ultimately to destroy their • manufac
turing interests.
Resolved. That in tlie distribution of public office, the
people should *h variable reject all candidates who are not iden
tified with the southern population. The humblest office
commands a certain influence; and the encumbent should
not be suspected of northern prejudices.
Resolved, That we cease our subscriptions to any news
paper, magazine or review, hostile to oqr land and institutions.
Resolved, That professional men, and particularly ministers
of the gospel and instructors of youth, born in the South, re
ceive our patronage. We should be aware of those who,
under the garb of religion, poison the minds of the weak and
credulous. Still more should we beware of teachers who
instil into the minds of our children principles averse to our
institutions.
Resolved , That we should extend our colleges and other
scholastic institutions by conferring on them new donations
and privileges, exercising discrimination in the selection of
professors and teachers, in order that wc no longer have oc- !
eassion to resort to northern institutions for tlie education of.
our sons and daughters, whose minds are likely to be there !
*An example of the advantages of such a system was giv
en us last winter by a large importing house from New Or
leans, a branch of which established itself in Mobile, and
supplied some of our fashionable stores with dry goods and
fancy articles, at 13 to 20 per cent cheaper than they can
be bought in Boston, New York or Philadelphia. By means
of the telegraph, their orders can be forwarded to New
Orleatis and executed in less than 24 hours. Can any of
the northern cities present such advantages, to Alabama
merchants: ?
poisoned by denunciations and anathemas against their pa
rents.
Resolved. Flint wc create and patronize an establishment
for the publication of all elementary books of education.
Resolved, That our summer excursions for health and en
joyment be to our lakes, our bays, to the Gulf of Mexico, to
1 the borders of our Southern Atlantic Ocean, which contain
places of resort combining all the varied advantages of sea
bathing, comfort and society, equal, if not superior to those
lof northern watering places. All the southern States
abound in delightful mineral springs, to which the invalid and
the man of leisure can repair for health and recreation.
1 Such, gentlemen, is the scheme I propose to render us in
dependent of the North, of New England in particular, and
to retaliate tlieir constant aggressions. Touch their pockets
and you will bring them fiwi sense of justice much sooner than
by appeals to their brotherly affection. lam ready to be
come a member of the association I recommend, and pledge
jmy honor to abide by its constitution. Those who are favor
: of it will please respond to my call, and inform the public
where and at what time a meeting can be held to devise a
plan by which a commercial league between tlie southern
States can be set in operation. A Citizen.
Amongst other things, tlie “Women’s Convention,” In
Ohio, laid down the position that “all distinctions between men
and women in regard to social, literary, pecuniary, religious
or political customs, etc., are contrary to the laws of nature.”
This is comprehensive enough, and we only wonder tliat
those ladies did not insist that all distinctions between father
and mother were “contrary to nature,” that the parents should ,
take turn about in the lactiferous luxury to the little ones, !
and share alike in regard to other labors visited, ever since
the flood, upon tlie female alone. Wo saw two ladies yester
day walking in Broadway, with gentlemen’s hats on, with
dresses fitting over the bosom, like a frock coat with tiny coat
tails sticking out in the rear and very niee long boots on tlieir
feet. Wc dare say they were delegates from this very same
convention. We must look out. Our special privileges as
the “Lords of Creation” are in fearful danger.— N. York
