I think 1 have cause to be proud of ‘ the State over which 1 ha\o the honor to preside. ■ when I look at the public gazette* of the country ! and see her bonds, as was lately the case, quoted ] at a higher premium than those of auy other : State iu tlm Union. With a debt of about two aud ; a half millions, while she own* public property ! worth from seven to ten millions, it is not strange : that her credit should stand high in the eomuier cial world. Well may her bonds command tho j highest premium. He r resources sw a*t and j are Iwiing rapidly developed. Her railroml enter ! prim'* arc Iming pushed forward with great rapid- I ity, connecting the different sections of the Slate { together. Already the (ample of remote portion* j of the State are lamoming neighbors. A tew years ago it took weeks (ortho people of j Cherokee Georgia to reach Savannah with their ! produce and return home; and it was thought to 1 be almost like going nut of the world, for thepco- 1 phs of that city to go beyond the Allamaba. Rut now, in a few hours we may travel ail over the State- from Hast to West from North to South. This is exceedingly gratify ing.

Wo can do it without in creasing the taxan of tka people. Wo may even reduce the taxes while we are doing it, and pay the public debt into the bargain. The Western A Atlantic Railroad is now paying into the Trnanu ry of Georgia, monthly, between thirty-five and forty'thousand dollars, clear of all expenses ami repairs. There ia no bubble about it. The money is there subject to appropriation by the General \h seiuhly of Georgia ; aud should 1 continue to hold the office I now hold. 1 shall fed that i have been somewhere at fault, or thnse under me, if I do not continue the payments into the Treasury at about these figures; and yon would have u right to ask me the cat*’ of a failure, and-you should condemn me if 1 have not done iny duty You have a right to enquire of my succeasor in office the same thing. Tho road, iu a tew years, should he made to pny the entire public debt of the State, and increase the educational fund loan amount sufficient to educate every son and daugh ter of Georgia. 1 know that amuo arc opposed to taxing one portion of the State in order to aid in the education of the childreu of another portion. This 1 do not propose to do, I do not propose to increase the tuxes of th people at all. I had rather reduce them. All that 1 desire in the way of the education of the children of my State can be attained from the income of tlm road if it be well managed. Gentlemen, l felt a groat deal concern w hen I heard of tho dissensions that prevailed this body: but when I rorteotod that the delegations scut up by the different countio embraced so much of tho weight and talent of the party, I foil assured that you would bo able to harmonise, and part us brothers. lam happy that such ha* been the result.

They will rise in thvir might and rally to the s.andard and triumphant success will he the result. Our opponents predic ts! that there would be raroaport and fun for them growing ont of tho dissensions of tho unterrified Democracy. I did not believe it. 1 believe there was too much good sense in tho Democratic party to suffer this. It was not to be expected that we could agree iu every particular. Ido not endorse every act of the National Administration. I have rarclv soon an Administration whoso every net 1 could endorse. But there has been enough of harmony for us all to part as brothers and go be fore the country as a unit. No party can main tain itself up to a standard of strict test by which all its members are required to regulate tlieir con duct and opinions on all questions of State and Federal policy. I'nlty of aenltment upon great cardinal principle# is all thut can lie safely re quired. Had more been required, it would have produced division.

I do not feel that 1 could be very well satisfied with less. But. gentlemen, before closing, there is another point to which I wish to call your attention. It ia my duty to say to yon that 1 cannot uudartake to canvas* the State. Were Ito undertake it, i few that nty pby*icl itrengtb would fail, god that I should fall by the way.

The office of Presi dent of the Mobile aud'Girard Railroad is a most onerous and unenviable one. It was neither sought nor declined by Maj.

The tdrartf Railroad Flection Several communication# which we have alrea dy published have advised our readers that the approaching election for a President of the Girard and Mobile Railroad is exciting considerable interest. Our City Council is understood to i*j divided on the question of the re-election of Maj. Howard,and we hear report* of strong opposition to him among some of the stockholder* along the line of the road, particularly in the neighborhood of its present terminous. W# rw convinced that this dissatisfaction with Maj. Howard dues not arise from any fault or in efficiency of hi# tjencrul policy in prosecuting the work, but rather from local aud perennal causes of eoinpiaint. That ha bos forwarded the enter prise with signal and even surprising energy that he ha* proven himself to he fertile in resour ces aud ever vigilant in the adoption of timely expedients—ami that he ha* made the at his command go as far a s possible in the exten sion of the work—are propositions that even those who wish to dispDce him will hardly gaiu say. But be has given dissatisfaction in partic ular localities and to individual stockholder* by hie policy in reference to certain sections of the road, in the location of depot#, and by little In conveniences along the line of the road. Granting these complaint* l<> be well-founded, we do not think they furnish a good aud sufficient cause for casting the vote of Columbus against Maj. How ard. llis general policy and management are what concerns our city aud affect* her interests. If the road has flagged under his supervision and control—if he has been feeble or injudicious in pushing it forward—or if he has adopted any regulation# partially unjust toward# Coimiuhns— these considerations cull for her vote against bun. Bat behoving that no such charges uu be sus tained—and indeed we have never heard them urged --we should regard it a* a hazardous and uncalled for act if M%|. Howard should bo defeat ed by the vote of our city representatives. Es pecially would it be calamitous if the contest should result in the election if a President in any way sympathising with the effort to divert a portion of the trade ot t lie road to Montgomery. — Columhn* Enquirer, 2Jth.

Reside*, he has a portion under contract in Hike county, and it is his intention to have it pushed through to .Mobile Bay. Now I would ask the taxpayers of Columbus, will you who have to pay heavy taxes to pay the interest on the bonds, stand still and see Maj.
