And point lo where the Host oi Heaven is found ?
Where seraphim and cherubim unite,
With saints and angels in hunuoiiious lays,
And ull perfection in eternal light,

MILLEDGEVILLE, Nov. 27th, 1847.
Gentlemen. — ln the Senate, Mr. Williamson mov
ed to agree to the report of the committee on the State
of the Republic in relation to the “Wilmot Proviso.”—
Mr. Unnagan moved an amendment by striking out the
following words after the word ‘'Proviso.” “We ab
stain from any utterance on that subject at this time,
for the reason that we may not all agree” and by in
•erting the following words in lieu thereof, to wit:—
“For if there is no territory acquired, there is nothing to
contend about, and if the war is unjust, we ought not to
insist upon the acquisition of Territory, but believing
in the justice of the war lamentable as it may be, it is
preferable to an unjust and dishonorable peae.* —and
that as by the act of the Republic of Mexico, a state of
war exist a between that Government and the United
States, this Republic is not responsible for its comae,
quences, and nought to lie prosecuted with the utmost
vigor until that Government shall agree to pay all de
mands due to. our Government, on account of spolia
tions done to our citizens, as well as a just indemnity
for the expenses incurred by this Government in th e
prosecution of the war, which that Government has
forced upon us and it she be unable to do so in money
the United States should insist upon her ceding territo
ry sufficient in value to satisfy so just and reasonable
demands.”
The Honorable Gentleman then addressed the “Sin
<ite” on the “ subject ” of his proposed amendment.—
Luring his remarks he enditored to make it appear
that ihe w hig presses and Whig speakers by comment
ing on th** course adopted by Mr. Polk in bringing on
the war and the manner in which it hus been managed
had a debverious effect, because it strengthened the en
emy , and m proof of his assertions, lie remarked tha 1
he had heard it said “when Santy Anny was taken
prisoner, Tam Corwin's speech was found ui his
trunk Whether Santa Anna had a copy of Mr.
Curwui’s speech or not, 1 will not pretend to determine*
but there is one thing certain, lie did have Mr. Polk’s
passport to hank him through the blockade at Vera Cruz;
tuid it is fair and just to consider that that was a greater
demonstration of “aid and comfort” than Mr. Corwin’s
Speech could possibly be !
Mr. Forutan next addressed the Senate at great
length, he abused Mr. Clay, Mr. Webster and the yan
keea indiscriminately, and insisted upon the amend
ment.
He was replied to by Mr. Terrell who ably deiended
the whig party. Messrs Chastain and Glenn both ad
dieased the Senate, but their reinaiks possessed but lit
tle originality as their “illustrious predecessor” Mr
Dana gun, had completely “exhausted the subject.”-
Mr Chastain was exceedingly violent upon Messrs Clay
and Webster and 1 have but little doubt that if his re
marks should ever reach the eyes or ears of those gen
tlemen they will forever abandon public life. He un
questionably slaughtered them both politically ami rich
ly entitled himself to the appellation of the“a6 le Senator
from Gilmore" —a title if 1 mistake not, bestowed upon
him by the aforesaid Smator from Hall. Mr. Glenn
was less violent than Mr. Chastain, probably because of
• Feliiig of delicacy in regard to the abuse of lus an
hem idols. He was not long since, if 1 mistake not,a
zealous whig. It was rather singular that these gentle
men while abusing certain wings should have forgotten
entirely “the Sage of Lmdetiwald” and the “unfaithful
Joan.” It is still more remarkable tiuit they did not
even allude to the lucl that the Athens Banner was
recently shrouded m mourning for the death of Silas
W right, the very Heelz* bub of the YV'iliuot gang ! These
tilings are strange indeed, but they ure not less strange
than true.
Mr Cfiastain was ably rescinded to by Gen. Wil
liamson m a brief but pointed speech—one w hich fully i
sustained liin reputation with the Whigs.
Alter Mr. Glenn concluded, Mr. Lawton made a few
remarks when the Henate adjourned to Monduy with
out taking the question. The House consumed nearly
the entire morning in reading bills the second time.
Your’s, 8.
MILLEDGEVILLE, Nov 29th, 1847
Gentlemen. — ln the Senate, Mr. Watters intro*
dmvii a bill to prohibit Commissi'*n Merchants in Sa*
vnnttuh, Macon and nil otner citun, towns and villa
g’ * m tins {State from deducting upon Sqiiuie bags of
®otton, and to define und iiiukc uniform the rate of
commission.
1 bis bill proposes to prohibit commission merchants
bom charging more than 25 cents coinniuwion on each
bsg l cotton sold. Should this hill pass, the ti’ Xt move
wi prohubly be in favor of n law compelling the mercfi
'U to pay the planters at least ten cents per pound for
their cotton.
Ihe consideration of Mr Dunngan's resolutions was
kilned.
Mr. Dunagnn lead off in a speech pretty much in the
Mine style ns that of last Hiturday, embracing the war.
l Wdniot Proviso, the acquisition of territory, and
‘ailing upon Whig Senators to define their position.
Mr Wales made an able speech lie declared that
the subject of slavery was one winch no Houthern
,l,# n should discus*. The amendnu nt offered by the
gemln,mn from Hnll, was a declaration of the justice
° “ >r * titd n| * acknow ledgement of its constito*
Natality, lie would oppose ihe amendment. He brief
ly recounted over the tarts connected w ith the causes
*hi‘ ~le d to the war and Condemned the IVfedeut for
the course he had pursued, 4kc.
Mr. Hum next addressed the Henate in a long, tedi-
ous, Uiesome speech in defence of Mr. Poik, and g.ving
him credit for allowing Banta Anna to pass the block
ade off Vera Crur. He boldly asserted that the annex
ation of Texas was the cause of the war, but that it
was not n sufficient cause on the part of Mexico td fcom
menCC hostilities.
Ho was followed by Mr. Moore—whose frank and
impressive manner, and whose clear common scum.*
arguments, made a fine impression. He showed pret
ty clearly that the “war was brought on by Mr. Polk,
who, acting us he did, had violated the expressed pro
visions ol the Constitution and trampled it under his
bet.’ He, for one, would not support Mr. Dunagan’s
amendment. Gentlemen were continually charging
tht YY lugs of the North with being almost the exclusive
udvocatea of the Wilmot proviso, lie had very little
confidence in ei'her the Whigs or Democrats of the
Noith upon this subject. Bur there is a difference be
tween the parties at the North, on the subject ol the ac
quisition of territory as connected with the Wilmot pro
viso. The Democratic party of the North were the ex
clusive advocates of the acquisition of territory, and the
adoption of the YY ilmot proviso, vvhiht the YY’higs were
opposed to the acquisition of any more territory, but if
territory was acquired, they ftl common with the North
ern Democrats, would insist upon the adoption of the
proviso—consequently the Whigs of the North were
j better friends to the South, than Northern Democrats
I were.
Mr. Barclay next occupied the floor. His speech
was very short—a sort of oratorical break dow n—vul
garly known as a failure.
I Mr. Reese next followed. He was opposed to any
acquisition of territory beyond the fixation of the boun
| dary line of Texas. The war he believed to be an un
j just one.—Mr. R. said he had heard a great deol if
j abuse heaped upon Mr. Clay, by the opposition. He
was not the detender of Henry Clay—“the giant needed
1 not the assistance of the dwarf,” but he appeared there
as the defender of Henry Clay’s patriotism. He then
proceeded and performed his task with decided ability.
Messrs. Simmons. Martin and F'orman took parts
in the discussion, and Mr. Dunagan’s amendment was
finally agreed to:
Feoa—Bnrelay, Camp, Chastain, Cochran, Coffee,
Dunagan, Duncan. Farris, Forman, Foil, Glenn, Hen
derson, Hilliard, Hunt, Hunter, Irwin, YV J. Johnson,
Lawton, Raitord, Simmons, Stewart, Watters, Wig
gins.—23.
Nays. —Boynton, Clayton, Collins, Darden, Hollo
way, b. D. Johnson, Little, McArthu*, Marks, .Martin,
Maxwell, Moore, Montgomery, Reese, Smith, Snider,
Stapleton, Terrell, YY’ales, Williamson, Willingham.
The amendment only passed by a temporary majori
ty, w hich the Democracy now have, on account of the
absence of Messrs. McLeod and Parks. It will of
course will here-considered.
In the House. —Mr. Clark from the Special Com
mittee to whom was referred the Governor s message
in relation to the removal of the body of Col. Mclntosh,
introduced a bill appropriating money for that purposes.
The following was agreed to, viz:

manufacturing company.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Dec. 2d 1847
Gentlemen : In the Senate Mr. YY’iggins reported a
bill to alter and amend the several acts incorporating
the City of Macon.
Mr. Dunagan, offered the following resolution, which
was agreed to.
Resolved —That his excellency, the Governor be re
- quested to furnish to this brancii, of die Legislature a
copy of the Law of the Stale of Tennessee granting to
j this the right of way to the Tennessee river and
the reservation of five acres of land at the terminus of
•aid road for a depot (if said grant be given) or such
law be in his office.
i The Senate proceeded with the unfinished business
j yesterday, which was the consideration of Mr. Dun
! ug ins’ resolutions.
After much discussion on the part of the Democracy,
an J several ineffectual efforts, such a9 to lay on the table
p.'iut, postpone, atn md &c. t!i • following resolutions, j
presented by Mr. Boynton were substituted for Mr.
Dunagnns’ and agreed to ;
Ist. Resolved —That the General Government of I
the United Slates, ought to raise no more revenue in j
time of peace than is necessary to defray the expenses
I of its economical administration, carefully to abstain :
from involving the country in unnecessary wars, by
which the expenses of its administration may be indefi- 1
tiately increased, and that in adjusting a Tariff of im
ports, a just discrimination within the limits of revenue,
should be made for the protection of Domestic indus
try.
2nd. Resolved —That if experience shall demonstrate I
that the tariff law of 1316 approximates as nearly to these
requisites as is practicable in a country of such diversi
fied and conflicting interest as ours, and that it is con
ducive to the prosperity of the commercial, agricultural
and manufacturing pursuits of the United States, it ought
not lo be repealed.
3.1. Resolved —That while Congress in the opinion
of this Legislature h is constitutional authority to incor
porate a National Bank, the creation of such an insti
tution may oe safely postponed, as long as the State
Banks cont.nue to furnish a sufficient amount of curren
cy convertable into specie to preserve a just system of
exchanges, and to facilitate the fiscal opperations of the
Government.
4th. Resolved —That the appropriation of public
money by Congress for the construction of works of in
ternal improvement can only be legitimately made in
the exercise of some power conferred by the constitution
and ought to be confined to objects of general, and not
extended to those of merely local interest.
sth. Resolved —That the proceeds of the public land
must first be applied to the payment of the public debt,
and as the debt already accumulated and in process ol
accumulation, will for an indefinite period absorb the
whole of these proceeds, so also the question of their dis
tribution may in like manner and for that cause be in
definitely postponed.
6th. Resolved —That the qualified veto which it was
intended by the constitution, to give to the President o*
the Unit - J States, has become absolute in practice,but
nil prospect of an amendment of the constitution is in
tiie opinion of this Legislature, merely visionary, and
therefore the discussion of this question is a useless
w.tste of time and the money of the people,
j 7th. Resolved— I That war is an evil which no nation
J ought to encounter except in defence of its honor; that
! a war of conquest, prosecuted with a view to acquire by
force of arms the territory of a foreign State, is alike
forbidden by the precepts of our holy religion and the
moral sent! items of the civilized world. That without
stopping to scan the circumstances in which the war
with Mexico originated, or the objects for which it is
prosecuted, leaving : > the Congress of the United Slates
in whom the whole war making power is vested by the
Federal Constitution, to discharge its own appropriate
mty in this regard, this Legislature acting in behalf of
the people of Georgia, nevertheless feel bound to declare
that a speedy termination of hostilites is imperiously de
manded by that people.
Bth. Resolved —That in the opinion of this Legisla
ture, it is not the wish, nor would it consist with the in
terest of the people of Georgia, that the war with Mexi
co should be prosecuted with a view to the subjugation
or dismemberment of that Republic, that the annexa
tion of the departments of New Mexico and California
whether to be governed as dependent territories or in
corporated into this Union, would he fraught with incal
culable evils, would impair the value of our free institu
tions and essentially dimmish the relative weight and
influence of the Southern members of the confederacy
in the councils of the nation.
9th. Resolved —Tlwt the thanks of the whole coun
try are due to the gallant officers and men of our anny,
Navy and volunteer service for the glory with which
they have covered our arms, and the heroic valor with
wh eh they have sustained their country's cause on the
buttle field.
10th Resolved —That in view of the tact that the ar
mies ol the United States have achieved a series of the
most unparalled and brilliant victories in Mexico, in
every renewed conflict fully sustaining the reputation
of the American anna and illustrating the invincibility
of American courage and valor—in view ol the fact,
I llial the enemy's forces are now scattered, dispersed ami
I distracted without the prospect of again concentrating
Jan army—ln view of the tact that Mexico ia at this mo
menta conquered nation without concert or unity
the United States might with great propriety in ospir
; it of humanity and chnatain arnevolence tender a peace
on terms within the power of the conquered nation to
accept and not involving the dismemberment of her
own Republic.
Ilth. Resolved That the attempt of the administra
tion to cast suspicion upon the patriotism of those citi
zens who have doubted the necessity of a war with
Mexico—while he must have known that many of the
most gallant officers and thousands ot the honest sol
diets in the field of battle, as well as mullilu les whose
sons were pouring out their bloo I in the conflict, enter
tained their doubts—by imputing to all such a disposi
tion to give “ aid and comfort to the enemy” has by
no means concentrated th energies of the nation in
supporting Ins administration, but has tended greatly
to alienate from himself that respect mid confidence
which the American people are prould to yield to
their Chief Magistrate.

was the report on the bill to incorporate the Gainsvdle
Rail Road Company with power to construct a Rail
Road from Atlanta or some convenient point in DeKalb
county to the Town of Gainsviile in Hall county—pas
sed.
The bill to incorporate the \Y r asliington Rail Road
Company from Washintgonin YVilkes county to Ten
mile (station No. 13) on the Central Rail Rond was un
der dsseussion when the House adjourned last night.
It appears that the construction of the Road though
it will be an essential service to the people of Wilks.
YY’arren, Hancock and Washington counties, docs not
exactly suit the wishes of the Georgia Rail Road Com
pany and hence there is some objection to the bill, but
1 apprehend that the Legislature ol Georgia wil I not ask
leave of the Georgia Rail Road whether it will suit her
exclusive interest to prevent the people from carrying
their produce to whatever market they please.
All the bills passed incorporating Rail Roads have the
“ liability proviso” attached to them I believe vl r
Jackson of Walton has the credit of being the prime
mover in tns matter. Y r ours, truly, S.
FOR THE JOURNAL AND MESSENGER
In the Presentmens of the second panel of the Grand
Jurors, serving during the recent session of our Superior
Court, was contained the following paragraph, viz :
“ With deep degret we feel bound to state, and bring
to the view of the court, that the Grand Jurors have
labored for years to bring to punishment offenders of the
law. True bills have been found court atter court,
against gamblers and other offenders, and either through
negligence, connivance or wilful disregard of duty by
the officers ol Court, the parties have escaped by not
oeing arrested or uisufficieiu security, and by uol. pros.,
thereby rendering the law a dead letter, and the pro
ceedings of Grand Juries a grand farce.” *
I might, Messrs. Editors,present you with a formida
ble array of tacts, to show that so far at least as the
present Solicitor General is concerned, the very woithy
Grand Jury labored under a misapprehension. It has
been rendered wholly unnecessary as the official con
duct of that officer was fully sustained in open court, by
His Honor, Judge Floyd, and by Messrs. Chapped, Har
deman, Poe and others, gentlemen of high proiesaional
character and respectabditv, and also the entire Bar.
On Thursday morning, after the Presentments had
been read, Washington Poe, Esq., in open court, (there
being a full attendance) offered the following, which
was unanunously adopted:
Bibb Superior Court, )
Nov. Term, 1847. $
The members of the Bar of said court, fearing that
some misapprehension may arise from the Presentments
of the second panel of the Grand Jury, derogatory to
the official acts of Rufus W. McCune, Solicitor Gen
eral, and which were read in Court during ins absence,
have considered it but a sheer act ol justice to their ab
sent young Brother, to pass the following resolutions:
1. Resolved , That in the opinion of this Bar, Rurus
YY r . McCune, the Solicitor General of the Flint Cir
cuit is a prompt, intelligent and efficient representative
of tlie interests of Georgia in the prosecution oi the vi
olators of the penal laws of this State, and we know of
no young officer whom the State has more to hope, than
from the said Solicitor General McCune.
2 Resolved, That His Honor JuJge F'ioyd, be re
requemeJ to have t’ e above resolution, plac-d upon the
ininuti sol the Court.
His Honor complied promptly with the request. I
beg you now to give this article a place in your paper,
not for the purpose of making an issue with any of the
Jurors in question,for I believe they acted under n high
sense of their high obligations though certainly under
a most unfortunate misapprehension. 1 would not even
now ask a publication ; but in the absence of my young
friend, 1 have understood that versions of th s matter,
are afloat, lnjurions to his reputation as a gentleman
and officer. Deeming the above the most triumphant
vindication which could be made in the case, 1 have
taken the responsibility in his absence, to place him in
that position to which 1 think Ik* is so fully entitled.
