The following extract is from an editorial published in the Kalamazoo (Michigan) Gazette, and shows the difference between the speeches of Hill and Blaine upon the amnesty bill, in the nutshell. ‘ Now we have the two characters presented to the mind of the reader. Blaine contending to strife,ill-feeling and bad blood ; and Hill for fellow ship, good will, and the cultivation of the noble i apulses of honesty and charity. One desires to cultivate the most elevating sentiments, and the other the worst and lowest passions. Blaine represents the radical element iof the Republican party. Hill rep i resents the Southern element of the ! Democratic party. Every noble im pulse of the heart of an honest man i responds in unison with the senti i mentsof Hill and the Democracy. It is the lowest, most degrading, and most hateful perversion of human nature that can agree with Blaine in his work of hate. Under his leader ship the whole country would Jbe ! come a bedlam of strife, confusion , and bloodshed ; but under the lead ership of ex-rebel Hill; our oppressed 1 countrymen would become a band of patriotic brothers. Instead of strife | and bloodshed, we would have peace i harmony and prosperity.” HON MARK A. COOPER, His Speech on the Resolution in Regard to an Excursion on the State Road The f\>llowing is the speech of Hon. Mark A. Cooper, on the reso lution toaccept the invitation of the President of the Western & Atlantic road to take an excursion to Chatta nooga, over the railroad, Mr. Coop er said : Mr. President: I cannot let this op port unit/ pass with a silent vote. Finding myself differing from dis tinguished Senatojs, with whom it ha3 been my pleasure to concur on great and important questions, it be comes my duty, briefly, to tell why I think the Senate and the House ought to accept this invitation. Not for mere recreation , not for pleasure seeking, certainly not. Not for kill ing time, nor even on account of cour tesy to the source whence it comes, not so. The business we are called to here, is paramount to them. But sir, it ought to be accepted as a bus iness affair. In this light, and this atone, would I say yes, and the fact that m&ny might "not enter on it with this view—should not deter your Senators from the occasion of dutiful service. The Western and Atlantic Rail road is a grand and magnificent property. It belongs to the people of Georgift, and we, Senators, and the members in the House, are the ap pointed agents of the people, have annually to view and examine it. The fact that the entire body of the Legislature is too unwieldy to exam ine it, does not acquit the body of blame in the utter neglect to view it, when an opportunity is courteously extended, free of cost, by those who, by contract, have leased "it for twentv years, and who after five years, ap plying money, time and ability in discharge of their obligations, now call attention to it, that we may realize its value and aporeciate what they have done, or if we please, crit icise defects or omissions and call them to account. Sir, it is a matter of business and of vast interest. Asa matter of bus iness, what man of our constituents, the people, having a private inter est of his own, relatively great, that he never saw, being in the vicinity of it, would neglect or decline to view it in the hands of his tenant, when, by the teannt, asked to do so? None. There is none. Such, sir, is our relations to this property and to the people. We are here as agents of the people. With this immense property -rut our doors and before our faces—nine-tenths, probably two-thirds of the nertn* *’**” ■, auu scarcely realize that it is> theirs—for all purposes that people can own it—they probably may never see it—and yet their agents are here, charged to look after, understand'and appreciate it, with every interest of their’s. Very many of these agents have them selves never viewed this property oft heir constituents. The tenants, lessees of this property, convinced that they have performed all their obligations as lesees, having put it in good order and in good preservation, after five years of twenty years lease, courteously and politely invite the representatives, “agents” of the peo ple, to go over the entire property to view it, free of charge or cost. And how rU to meet it? Strange to say, sir, you propose to say first “We have not time to go. We must attend to other matters;” second “we shal' be laughei at and we will be ridiculed :” third, you reply, “it will cost the people seven dollars for each Senator and Repre sentative;” fourth, “notwithstand ing all this we return out* thanks for the distinguished courtesy and hos pitality so offered.” If, sir, we are invited into a mat ter that must bring us into ridicule and cause us to be laughed at, I, for one, would not have the Senate go into it, nor would I nave it adopt a vote of thanks for courtesy and hos pitality. 1 take a different view of the sub ject. We will be in the discharge of a high and important service-to the people, which duty calls us to view this most valuable property, see its surroundings, its connections, its present and future presperity—that we as eye witnesses, may carry back the facts to the masses, that they may know what a priceless estate they have, and wiiat a wonderful country lies along it, filled with peo ple of full stature, mind and body, turning out, annually the elements of national wealth, of which you and they, as joint tenants, are proud.— They have too much sense to laugh at or ridicule you for such service. The laughter and ridicule will be by those who have not mind enough to comprehend, or thoughtfulness enough to consider the objects of your visit. I feel sure that such men as compose this legislature have 100 much good breeding and seif respect to subject themselves to laughter or rid icule. But you say it will cost the coun try seven dollars a day, per capita, for each member of the legislature. Granted. So it will cost the like amount for each day spent here in making laws. Which result is most valuable? In either case the cost is only one-twentieth of one per cent, on the costand value of this property. What owner of such property wou.d think this a high commission for such agents to have his property in spected ? “The great objection, however, “we have not time ,” to view this property. “Not time.” How much will it take? One day, at a cost of one-twentieth of one per cent, and that expended in five years, for the first time. “Not time” to see and look at a railroad built by Georgia, one hundred and forty miles long, passing through her territory—so remarkable for its soil, climate, water, mineral and agricul tural properties—connecting the cot ton and the grain regions, the At lantic and Pacific oceans. “Not time” to see and know what vast propor tions of our people and some of this legislature have heard of hut never saw, to-wit: the largest and best property owned by the State in this Federal Union. Sir, it cost three millions of dol lars, and it is worth it all. It now pays annually in monthly cash pay ments 5 per cent, on that valuation. Sir, managed, preserved and opera ted as it now is, in ten years, it will pay 10 per cen f . Reduce your taxes one-half now, and in 15 years it will pay the public debt of Georgia. After that, it will support the government free of taxa tion, and endow a preparatory col lege for your University in each con gressional district in the State. Not time to view this property and the country it opens to us. Surely we will reconsider and resolve to go. The income ot tho estate owned by Trinity parish is about five hundred thousand dollars.— N Y Time*. Special Notices. COLONISTS, EMIGRANTS AND TRAVELERS AYESTWARD.
