53T Tbc first Session of the Thirty-Third Congress
begins on ’Monday, the .efa of December. The New j
‘York Herald publishes* ikt of members of the House ,
and Senate, from which we gather that there aie in the |
Senate—thirty-six Democrats, twenty-one Whigs, and
six vacancies; and in the House, 159 Democrats, 71
‘Whigs, arid four vAbolttmiriat—.■besides five delegates ‘
frot., the territories di Minesota v ! >| £ear Mexico. Oregon,
Xjta'h and Washington, who art*i’K>t entithsl to vote.
In the Senate, S. P. Chase, and t'has. Summ r. Free
Soilers, are classed with the De_ oml William
H. Seward, Free Softer, with the Whigs. In the
House, the Free Soilers muster in considerable strength,
but are classed as Whigs wrtLeomr.rata, according us

■the 17th i**t, Mr. Lambeth, the Union Democratic Sen- j

made by Whigs and Democrats, and the Rex. ut on*
of the Georgia Convention of 1830, and of the Union
Convention of the present year, which noiainated Mr.
Jenkins, were re-affirmed, with the following addenda,
which contain the substance of the resolutions offered
ia the Senate and in the House, by Messrs Pope and Ir
win of Wilkes:
8. That we are ready and w itting to co-operate liearti- ‘
‘ly with all men, North and South, who agree with us in
the foregoing announcement of National priucijdes, and
that we invite them irresjtoctive of localities and of not- :

‘that Samel S. ©ickinsou, aud his friend-, iti New Yi k,

national principles against the false policy of the Ad

principles by the mere power of public patronage
7. That, we, as members of the Georgia Legislature,
belong'ng to the Union Republican party, are w illing to
co-operate with any political organization ujkju the
principles herein announced.
These Resolutions were passed with great enthuri

“The great influx of gold from California and Austra

tinue to depreciate with some slight fluctuations, the
value of money—thus rendering a salary which was
barely sufficient in the first instance, utterly inadequate
from the increase of the price of all objects of consump
tion.”

Removal of the Seat of Government.
Governor Cobb, hi his late Message, referred inciden
tally to the subject of the removal of the seat of Govern
ment, and argued indirectly in favor of its perniauent
location at Milledgeville. This reference, together with
the wretched accommodations which have been furnish
ed the members of the Legislature and visitors to the
Capitol, during the present Session, has caused atten
tion to be directed to the subject, and among our Legis
lators, and among the people, there is an almost univer
sal feeling in favor of the removal of the Capitol, some
where—anywhere—so it is carried from MiHedgeville.
This question is one in which the whole State is inter
ested and in the determination of which, the interests of
the whole State must be regarded without reference t<>
the interest* of Milledgeville, For out-lialf of a centu
ry, she has had the benefit of a solemn act of the Legis
lature. declaring it the permanent seat o! Government,
and yet she h.is gradually retrograded, lot’ population
has gradually deserted her, and her real estate lias
gradually depreciated, until she cannot furnish decent
accommodations for the limited crowd which attends
the Sessions ot our General Assembly. This fact is
eonceeded, and it is, of itseif, sufficient to justify and to
demand the removal of the seat of Government. This
questtou is, we repeat, one of expediency to Ik? deter
mined with reference to the honor and interest of the
whole Sta’e, ai.d without regard to the interests or
wishes of the denizens of Milledgeville. If the public
I convenience requires a removal if the honor and dig
j nity of the State demands that it shall have a Capitol,
where its represeutatiues may be accommodated, ami
! where its citizens may sojourn and have the ordinary
j comforts of civilized life. there is no need to inquire fur
ther —the question is settled, and the removal must be
made. Milledgeville has no claims to the permanent
j location of the Capitol, (com her position, or from the
|victiw*tanrc.i War tir*t It * IKkt
| tlie geographical centre of the State, and if it were, it is
! ridiculous to urge this, as a reason for the jwrmanctit he
• cation there, of the scat of Government. The geogni*
Jphicul Ci n'le of the United States is, perhaps, some
I wlictv within the limits of the Indian Territory, west
iof the Missouri, and yet it would be absurd to propose
• 'he removal of the Federal Capitol from the banks op
’ the Potomac, to the bunks of the Kansas. There is no
i importance whatever in a geographical centre. Natu-
I rai or artifici 1 facilities of communication create other
! centres, and leave the geographical centre in the woods.
1 This lias been the fact with regard to Milledgeville.—
The rivers, the railroads, and the Telegraphic lines,
which traverse the State of Georgia, have rendered
many localities, far removed from the centre of the
j State, more central than Milledgeville. The individu
j.tls who bought tk town lots. *~heu originally sold tin”
ler the plighted faith of the State, that MiHedgeville
. ®.iould he the permanent seat of Government, are not
I now iu Milledgeville. They are dead—or have gone
[elsewhere in search ot a (tetter field for enterprise, or-a
■ -*‘ore desirable iesidi*nee Tbc lots have been tisinaler
|red. They necr acquired value from the location of
lie t .ij itol—they cannot loose that which they never
nad, by its removal. They have been te-sold at nomi
nal prices, f.ir it is a notorious fact that real estate, iu
any pleasant village in Georgia, is higher than it is in
Milledgeville. The present owners of real esf ate, in that
dilapidated village, cannot urge any obligation on the
|Ktrt of the State to retain it forever as the Capitol.—
I hey cannot c.vjiect tin? State, t<* sncrificecousidcraliuns
of public convenience, and keep the Capitol at Milledgc
v tile, to maintain a real estate interest which is con
temptibly siiiaP, and growing “ beautifollv Jess.” For
fifty years, Milledgeville has been endured as tlie scat
of Government it has hail every advantage to improve
and yet it has retrograded rapidly Sir tire last fifteen
years. It is a failure —it never will be built and it is
time t deseit the collection of rookaties. Fifty veins
sa long—a very long time, in this fast age Within
iiirty-five vests, a huge portion of our teuitorv lias
H-eu redeemedfiwm the Indians, and it is non crowded
’ i*h cities and towns and villages larger than the Gapi
ol of the State. Within that time, giant strides have
•een made by tL - -State, iu material progress, and she
ow Stands poeiless among her Sisters of the South.—
•lillcdgeviHc has not partaken of that progress—and if
n tK>4,with the lights before them then, our legisla
ors deemed it a suitable place for the Capitol, with tlie
igbts Irefire them now, xbey must decide otherwise.
Macon is not anoq>plicant for tire loca ion of the Cap.
,toI. I’ublic attention is turned to it, as the most eligi
ric spot iu casa-of removal, and her enterprising citi
ens can, and will, it necessary, nSer indaermeuts, for

C near the geographical centre of the State, it is, what
is more impiwtor.t still, the Railroad centre of the State,
ind has at this moment, better and more hotel accom
modation, than any city in Georgia. If the Federal
Union, and the correspondent of the Savannah R.pt.b.
iMh, who have recently ridiculed her accoMmodations,
rod had the audacity to nan j are iheix wit.h those of
diiledgeville, need any proof of this fact, we i*?fo> them

MASSAcnrsCTTS Elcction. —Nov. 15. —The Massn.
husett* elec'ion which was held yesterday, has result.
•si without a choice of tJovemnr br the ]>eople Tlt e
A’higs will have control of tlie Legislature, and ih e

( o Congress.
A Short Retrospect.
The Federal appointments by tbe Administration in
this State, have been made almost exclusively from the
Southern Rights wing of the Reorganized Democracy-
The Congressmen elected upon the Reorganized Demo
cratic ticket, are, with n single exception, Southern
Right men, and some of them violent, ultra, and ex
treme in their Southern Rights opinions. The large
majority of the Democratic members of the Legislature
are Southern Rights men. Tbe Governor elect, the
State House officers, with one exception, and tbe two
Judges of the Supreme Court, are all Southern Rights
men. From the time that the reorganization ot the
Democratic Party of Georgia was first attempted, the
Union Democracy of the State has been subjected to
continued and mortify ing humiliation. 1 bey have aid
ed to give flit? organization of the Party, and the politi
cal power of the Statejton faction which pioscribcs them>
and which will not tecognro* them as entitled to any of
the honors of the party. They have been tlie ea.\V
dupes of their Southern Rights allies, giving them
strength, importance, and power to crush them, aud
quietly submitting 1o be slaughtered. 1 lie fact that the
Reorganized Democracy of Georgia, is the Southern
Rights Party of if not fully established by the
elections which have recently been held in this Stute <
is demonstrated by the nomination in tbc Democratic
caucus last week, of C. J. McDonald over Howell Cobb.
Cobb is tbe recognized leader of tbe Union Democracy
of Georgia—was early in his desertion of tlie Union
Partv, and noisy in his advocacy of the election of a
Southern Rights Secession Governor. Tlie efforts he
has made to reinstate bintself in the confidence of the
Southern Rights wing of his Party, have been bold, un
tireing, humiliating. He has not permitted political
consistency, personul respect, or the proprieties ot his
official station to stand in the way, or prevent anyeffor:
for the accomplishment of this great object, lie has
stooped to conqeur, and has been ignotniniously spurned
by those whose favor he sought. lit the Democratic
caucus 011 Wednesday night last, lie made a very con
temptib!e show of strength, and was defeated easily by
the Ex-President of tlie Nashville Convention. This
then is the interpretation of “union and harmony” as
understood by the Southern Rights Democracy ; a tin -
nopoly of the offices, and humiliation to all who have
been guilty of reverence for the Union, or devotion to
the Compromise. We cannot exult in the success of
McDonald, or sympathise with Cobb in his defeat. Ib
is down down among the dead men, and owes his lofty
tumble to his rapid changes of principle and of policy,
and to his vaulting ambition which o’etleapt itself
There he must remain, without the sympathy ot tlie
Union Whigs of Georgia, who, had he been true to his
political committals in 1850, and followed where they
lead, would have stood by him as one man, and honor
ed hint to-day, as one of the ablest exponents of tlie
principles of the Republican Party.
McDonald was nominated in caucus, lint the las’
scene ot ail which ends this strange eventful history
of the divisions of the Democratic Party of Georgia, was
upneted in tne Senate Chamber on Friday morning.
Tlie Senate refused to meet the House and proceed to
the election of a Senator, ns provided by their joint tcs ( -
lntion assented to by the Governor. This was done bv
a few of Cobb’s friends, with tbe aid of the Union Pat
ty. For these few disaffected Democrats, who have > 1
at defiance the will of the Legislature, to defeat the will
of their party, the largest charity can not find the sem
blance of an cx cnee. We are obliges! to them for post- 1
polling the election, and farther obliged to their, for te- ]
viving the bitter feeling of hate, which divided the two
wings of their Party in 1850-Vl.

LEGISLATURE OF GEORGIA.
Moxniy Mousing, Nox. 14lh.
The House met this morning at I<> o’clock. After the
Journal was read, Mr. Rucker, of Elbert county, ap
peared, was qualified, and took his seat.
The Speaker then announced tkesiandinp Committees
of the House of Representatives. They are i.f a very
different complexion from those of the Senate, and
produce quite a contrast between the two gentlemen
who preside over the different bodies. Mr. Speaker
Ward is a high toned, and accomplish! I gentleman, and
has been studious, in the discharge >f this delicate re
sponsibility, of the great interests involved, and lias
sought out those gentlemen on both sides of the House
best qualified for the various positions, to which he has
assigned them ; atni I believe he has given general s it r -
faction in his disposition of the public business. He has
for instance, placed the very aide Representive from
Richmond county, Alexander C. Walker, Chairman of
the Committee on Internal Improvements, and the
foamed member front Wilkes, Mr. Irwin, Chairman of
tbe Cixiiinittee on Banks. The Judiciary Commitlue
is composed of the Lawyers on both sides of the House,
and is uhlv constructed for ihe transaction of such bu
siness as will lie before them.

S.vitro ay, Nov. 19.
Nothing of general interest took jvlace in either
branch of the Legislature. No attempt was made to re
consider the vote of yesterday in the Senate. The Sec
tional Democracy are in a state of considerable excite,
meiit in regard to it. It is supposed that they will watch
their opportunity to renew the matter when some ot the
•Union Senators are absent —but this game will be prop
erly guarded. They have scut for Mr. Cobb, to aid
them, but 1 think he will keep away from the political
Golgotha—where he might be frightened by seeing the
ghosts of the headless bodies of himself and friends
stalking about the Democratic Caucus Chamber, at the
Capitol, at midnight.
SiTEtuoß Court of Greene County.—The Chris
tiau Index, of the 12th inst., says:
“An adjourned session of the Superior Court of
Greene county was held in Greensboro lost week. The
case of the State against Benj. F. Willet, charged with
the murder of Felix W. Janes, was brought up on \Ved
it. sday morning. The day was spent in jnocuringa

on Thursday, in behalf of the State, by Messrs. Wing
field. Toombs, Cone, and the State's Solicitor, and in
behalf of the prisoner, by Messrs. Reese, Dawson and
Stephens. About sundown the argument was closed.
Judge Hardeman delivered his charge, and the Jury
retired. S.mti after 10 o’clock, P. M., they returned
with a veidict of acquittal.”
Jif Ase v days ago, savsflte Louisville Courier, we
lookup the N. Evening Post of the oth inst,, and
found in it this remark “We hold the fugitive slave

of the N. Evening Post and found’ in it a long gov

REMOVAL OF THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT MA
CON AND WARRENTON RAIL ROAD-SAVAN
NAH VS. MACON.
Messrs. Editors:*— If any oik* should doubt (hut there
is, among the people of Stvannah, a deep seated hostili
ty to the intersts of Macon, let him refer to a recent
editorial of the Savannah Republican, which is now be
ing flaunted through the columns of newspapers in
Georgia ; jealous of the rising prospects ot Macon. It
relates to the permanent location of the seat of Govern
ment.
I have carefully examined the article in question, and
a more contemptible and invidious string of sophisms,
I have never known to be published in a newspaper pos
sessing the acknowledged ability of the Repo l can.
Let ns for a moment examine some of “the best and
strongest reasons for fixing the seat of Government
permanently at Milledgeville,” assigned by the sapient
Editor of the paper referred to:
First, I do not believe that any test has been made by
“a Ink Surveyor Gao rai which resulted, as stated by
the Republican, in the discovery, that “die centre ot
Georgia was at the Flat Shoals of Connnissioneis Greek,
about Midway, between Macon and Milledgeville."—
This is an old song which has been sung bv the people
of Milledgeville, whenever this subject of removal has
come up, for the last quarter of u century. This “late
Surveyor General’’ has always been quoted as authori
ty for locating tlie centre ol’the Stateat the Flat Shoals.
Now this Surveyor, in question, was no other than
Daxikl Sti kgks, Esq., and he died SO years ago! It is
believed, tlmt no other person ever put himself to the
trouble of making the calculation, and certes I nevet
heard any other given as authority in the premises, ex
cept Mr. Star gee.
The rediculous assumption, that “Milledgeville was
on all hands, conceded as early as freri-, to be the most
eligible spot looking not only to the existing condition
of the State, but to the future i. c. to the reality of the
present day,” is too absurd to command serious atten
tion. No man in his senses, can suppose for a moment,
that the people of “1804” could possibly have foreseen
the present condition of Georgia, with her Steam boats
—her Rail Roads her Magnetic Telegraphs—her Fac
tories, Boundaries, Machine shops, and her immense
vegetable and mineral productions, which now enable
her by common consent, to take rank as the “Empire
State of the South ”
The people of 1804 located the seat of Government at
Milledgeville, more from necessity than choice. The
river# in the interior of the State, were in tlio.se days
deemed to be of some value, and the location was fixed
at that point, solely h cause it was supposed to be the
lent of Mari nation on t!o Oconee Hirer. Otherwise it
1 would have been located a once at the famous “centre”
|on Commissioners Creek—lor .1/ eon, which was equal
i ly near that centre, and at the head of Navigation on a
I much better river, was at that time, an Indian hunting
ground, and the peo; h* of 1804 could not, if they would,
have h cated the seat of Government here.
To prove that the people of that remote period did
not look to the present condition of Georgia, it is quite
sufficient to adduce the fact, that the Hirer, which as
before stated, was the principal cause of their locating
the seat of Government at Milledgeville, lias ceased to
I be navigated for nearly “oyears; and so far front bene
fitting the place, has proved to be a great annoyance
from its miserable fogs and ferries.
It is well known that the people of that place, have
for years and years past depended first on the Georgia,
and then on the Central Railroad for the means of trans
portation.
The H<pate lean has thought proper to refer to the
struggle which occurred in 1549-’oo, and “ended” as he
says, by “retaining Milledgeville as the seat of Govern
ment,” by a loan from the State of j>2o,ooh, to the Mil
ledgeville and Gordon Railroad Company —and a sub
scription by the Central Railroad in iron of $20,000
more.
There was no occasion for the Republican to remind
tts of that contest; we well remember it, and the cir
cumstances connected with it. The means by which
the nulx referred to were brought about, are fresh in our
memory. Rut for the active hostility of a prominent
member from Savannah, there is but little doubt that
Macon would now be the Capital of Georgia, and the
members, and visitors to the Legislature, instead of be
ing packed and jammed in stalls like cattle, would
be to-day luxuriating in our elegant hotels, and guided
in their evening promenades by our brilliant gas lights.
The people and friends of Macon, will not fail to recol
ect the petty i>,r> --otto ■ which canto from Savannah on
that occasion.
As to the subscription of $20,000 to the Model Rail
road from Gordon to Milledgeville, it is well understood
to have been n Jintsse on the part of Milledgeville, and the
enemies of Macon, to strength the claims of the forniei
place to the retention of the seat of Government. It
was accomplished, probably, by the same influence
which defeated the will of (lie people in reference to
the removal, and the people of Macon will also bear
that in mind.
Rut then, it seetns that the Central Railroad, alias
Savannah, has an interest of $20,000 or. more in this
same Milledgeville Road. And here lies trio secret of
the wonderful change which has come over .he Repub
lican, since the noted struggle of which it speaks. The
Central, or Savannah Company has an interest of £20,-
000 worth of old iron in the Milledgeville Road, and the
Republican must stand up totlie inteiest ot Savannah and
her Road, whether the members of the Legislatme, their
familes, and their friends can be accommodated or not,
particularly, as “die prospect is that a Railroad will be
constructed from Milledgeville by Sparta, to Warrenton.
Don't fret Mr. H publican ! That Road will be built—
but as certainly as the sun shines, it will run by or
through Milledgeville, instead of “from” it.
Let all the people interested in this connection with
the Augusta and Charleston Roads, note the petty jeal
ousy and hostility here indicated by a portion of the
Savannah pres*, to one of the most valuable enterprises
which has ever been started in Georgia. The people
of Middle and Western Georgia as well as those of Au
gusta, have a deep interest in the proposed Road, and
they will rebuke the impudence which seeks to ob
struct their wishes.
The Republican cannot escape from this imputation
by the plea ot ignorance. Not a paper, or a public
meeting has referred to the Warrcnton Road, without
designating Macon as one of its t-'em ni.
No wonder that the selfishness of Savannah and the
cupidity of the Central Railroad, should thus early take
the alarm. The latter concern has fattened too long on
its unjust discriminations against Macon, not to view
with trepidation the remotest prospect of another out
let from Macon to the Atlantic. But the interests of
Augusta and the Georgia Railroad, require a connection
with the various Roads which concentrate at Macon, and
the interests of all Middle and Western Georgia impe
riously demand some relief from the tyranny of the
Central Railroad.
If the term inns of the new Road should be at Mil
ledgcville, the £20,00” interest of the Central Road
would still be preserved, and that Road would possess
the power, by turning everything down to Gordon, and
then by throwing obstacles in the way of transporta
tion across the country, to force it down to Sav
annah. Hence the new born zeal of the Republican’
in behalf ot Milledgeville, and his efforts to impress the
public mind with the idea of making that place the
starting point of the Road to Warrenton.
But the Republican refers to the uncertainty which
hangs over the prospects of Milledgeville, and is said to
deter holders of real estate from improving their'proper*
ty. He says “a public statute under which the lots of
the town were sold, declare the spot to be tin pe, man■ nt
seat of Government. This declaration alone,” he says
“sold the property,” and adds, after referring to the
losses which will be sustained by the Milledgeville and
Gordon Road, and the State buildings at Milledgeville
n the event of a removal, “Milledgeville will be mined,
and her people who settled the place on the faith of the
State will be deeply and uuueees nily injured.” Now
this is all gammon, and looks more like it had been
written by a citizen of Milledgeville, than the editor of a
Savannah paper.
What arc the facts? Why, the people who bough*
lots when they were sold some 50 years ago, have long
since parted with their interest in them. Finding that
the place did not meet public expectation, they sold out
and moved off to Macon, to Columbus, and to more
flourishing towns and cities in the West. The present
holders in almost every instance, bought their property
with all the uncertainties annexed, and at merely nomi
nal prices. How will they be ruined by the removal ?
Not by the decline in the value of their lots, for they
cost but little —nor by ihe loss of trade, for Milledgeville
does not now with all the advantages of the seat of Go
vernment, support more business than Eatonton, or
Sparta, or any other country village—and besides lacing
situated on a public Railroad she can surely maintain
her present prosperity, and if she cannot, is it just or
proper to ask all the people of Georgia interested in the
public business, to sacrifice their comfort and conveni
ence in a fruitless endeavor to uphold her? I trow not.
Again, the Republican says, “one brief act of the Leg
islature will build up a flourishing city (meaning Mil
ledgeville,) in the heart of the State.” In what manner,
pray? By a simple resolution declaring it to be the per
mmtnt eat ‘f Governs i be editor says the Leg
islature did that very thing 0 years ago 1 Did it bum!
‘up a flourishing city by that act? or has the position ,t
Milledgeville changed of late and become more com
manding, whilst those of Macon and other prominent
places have become less so? Or does the editor mean to
-ay, that the Legislature now lias more power *o pre
vent future agitation of this subject, than she had ib
times past ? I presume not.
By what rule of reason ;be i. does the editor assume
hat the Legislature can b. . o.w senile*, suddenly in
fuse life and vigor in a place which never had an. .’ it
will not be forgotten, that M- 1 -dgeville hid lull sw y
J vi'ibout cumpction over till Middle Georgia lor to- >*■ a
:i her tally career. Did she become a great city ; >t
tall. Why did she not prosper and take rank a. a
mmmetcial place? simply because her citizens lacked
■uterjuise, and her position suitable inducements. It
vas earlv foreseen that her location was not a good one,
■md the ’<• o lookmg to the future settlement ot the
I Western part of the State, lost confidence in Millntp
i eilL* and abandoned it.
But notwithstanding all these facts, the Si
’ Republic ru would now hare the Legislature to take u -
ler its fostering care, a place which has long since !*.-i
j Inserted by its first settlers, and those who held da
ndy plausibleclaims to Legislative sympathy ami favor.
I shall not notice the rebellious farago about bids for
he seat of Government -heavy Railroad sacrifices, and
he alledged destruction which is to crush the hopes of
•entral Georgia.
Macon has made no bid for the seat of Government—
•lie lias not even broached the subject since the noted
‘toggle refered to by the H fntldkan. It must have
icen started afresh by the people of Milledgeville them
selves, from a consciousness of their own weakness, ot
have grown out of the officiousness of Gov. Conn, who,
smarting under his isolation for the last two years, was
tnxious to provide greater comforts for his succes>ors,
bun he had been able to find during his sojourn at that
place.
1 have said that Macon does not bid for the seat of
Government, but if it should become necessaiy for the
public convenience to locate it here, the Savannah Re
publican and all others interested, may rest assured that
the erection of buildings suitable to the dignity of the
i foremost southern State, shall cost the Legislature no
thing but the trouble of passing the act,
. I cannot conclude this subject without calling the at
tention of our business men, and others interested in
Mm •on, to this new evidence of the settled hostility to
her interests on the part of the Central Railroad, and a
1 portion of the press and people of Savannah.
I might enlarge upon this branch of the subject and
present other striking considertions, but at present, I
forbear.
Let the people of Macon, however, go seriously to
work to protect themselves—to provide means to pm up
i :he public buildings if i! sh- ml be necessary, and
i above all things, get the w hip-hand of Savannah aud i l.c
Central Railroad, by securing a rival Road to the At
: lantic llirough Augusta and Charleston.
