Already threo gigantic works arc undertaken, which, when completed will amply repay their projector*. Tlm Central Railroad of Georgin, nioro than 80 miles of which is already erected, and tho cars running daily, will connect Savannah, with tlio great inland town of Macon, (Hissing through a large number of rich und fertile counties, tho plan tors in which can transport their cotton to thu suubourd, for sale or shipment—and nt thi* place can always find a ready morket fur their produce of all descriptions. Besides, u branch of this Road cuinmuncing at Wnyimslivru', will connect Augusta, one of the most important cities in our Stnto, with Suvnnnnh, which will fur ther enhance tho ndvuntiigoii of the Rond. Next comos tlm Georgia Railroad—another stu pendous undertaking, a lung distance of which is also completed, nnd ears running upon it, yielding a handsome profit. Tlmn there is tlio Western nnd Atlantic Railroad, thn State work. This hns also rapidly progressed. From the ability of those en gaged in tho undertaking, wo should sny that it will, in nil probubiliry, bo brought to n hnppy con clusion for thu udvnutngo of iho State. Besides these, there Is tho Monroe Railroad,(which is open to Forsyth, and running through tho central part of tho State, will be a valuable auxiliary to the Stnto and thu Central Railroads. Thi* work it is com puted, will bo roneladed iu November, 1840, and will bo a most profitable enterprise. Ollier works hnvo been projected, all of. which will more # less tend to tha prosperity of the State. So far then, hns Georgia already progressed with her works of Intoranl Improvement, even amidst the discord of political sir fe. That she could do much more, every ono will adroit, if one political aspirant was not jealous of another, when a mea sure was introduced by a rival, although that men- sure might havo been confessedly for tlio public good. It is well known that when publics rage highly, men aro sent to the Legislature, more on account of tjjplr political opinions, than for their general knowledge, or scientific ac<|uirein<iiits, or sound common seme. lie that cun spout well, nnd nmko tho longest-winded harangue about little or tmthing will bo tho heroof thu duy, whilo iho man who has the lovo of his country us deeply im planted in his heart, und who is a practical mini— onu who knows whnt would tend to the real gloiy utid enrichment » the S uto, will bn left at homo, bccansu bo Is not a prominent politician. Ev< ry man professes to bu nftiond to Internal Improve- ninnt in these days; but it often happens, as wo snid before, that tlio fsuitt projects are lost because of tho jealousy of rival politicians—the fear, lest, if the plan should bu adopted, the projector would become too popular, 'i hi- is the result of a high state of political excitement, and it behooves all good men to allay It—for it will, if persevered in, bo destructive of tlio best interests of Georgia. In stead of progressing, under such a system, she will recede. Her public works will he at ii stand, nail every feeling of patriotism—uvery desire to advance tho real honour of Georgia, will ho buried in the vortex of politic*. Now, wo do not ask any mail to give up Ids po litical opinions—far from it. Wo believe it is cussury tlmt every man should be more or less u po litician, hut wo do say, that everything else should not be forgotten for politics. And, we further say, that there is no use in maintaining an opposition to wlmt can be termed nothing hut imaginary evils, Whnt principle does the party contend for which Is known as •* the opposition” in Georgia, that we do not hold in common with them? For wo will not suppose iluit there is n U. S. Bunk party in Georgia. Tlmt there are U. S.

Wo are us strongly in favour of the Rights of the States us tlio •* Slate Rights Burty" are—they profess to ho opposed to a National Bank—so aro we. They (or rather many of tholr leading men) favour a Sab-Treasury, in preference to my oilier mode for keeping thu pub lic moneys—so do we. Tlioy profess to he Jelfor- soniun Republican*—!so do we. Now, where is the difference us to principles between iis t For a verity, wo cauiint see it; and if bulb sides are sin cere in their professions, there is none; and parly distinctions, if kept up, must bo preserved with re ference to men rattier limit to principle.

Wo simply ask our opponent* to weigh *!*•» ques tions wo havo propounded; nnd then if tlioir reason will afforil thorn sufficient arguments to remain in opposition, wo shall bu satisfied. Wo presume nil will admit that much mom real good could bo accomplished for our Stnto, if nur people were united, than can bo, while they are di vided. It is tiieu the duly of all wbo would exult tba Slate, tu endenvont to unite all parties in her behalf. And this union can lake place nmv under far better uuspices than it ever could before, as thoro is no ronlcauso forkcoping us asunder. No abandonment of principles is necessary. Both parties can meet honorably, nnd the issue can In* found in tho names of Martin Van Burrn and IIknryClay! Will Georgian* besitito to unite in favor of the former, rathor, than of the latter? Certainly not. Why, tlien, should wo hesitate ? Lot ihe question lie nt oiico set ut rest—nud could tho people be assembled in one vast plain, it would not taku a moment to decide it. Reserving our arguments for and ngninst tho candidates just named, for '.mather day, we cull upon every Georgian, win is a friend to Internal liiiprovcnn'Ul—who would wish to sec bis unlive ot adapted State,one of the first in tins bright galaxy of stars that foim our glorious Union—who is op pose! to Conso idolimi, to FeJcndi«m, nnd to n Hiuh protective Tariff— olio it opposed tu tin* for mation of a National Bank—who wishes to see the revenue* of tho country safely kepi,—and who would give A death-blow to tho mischievous Jo- sign* of fan rtical *tdf-»tykd philanthropists—we call on every uiau euteriuiniag these views, to join ii* in endeavouring to unite the people of Georgia for their Own, and thcii country’s welfare. Let no old prejudices k"t*p them asunder—many of them fought »ido liy tide in the cau»o of freedom, with those now arrayed again.t them, nnd they would do so again.

The accounts of the Treasury Department nre regularly audited—no debts nre contracted on tho public fuiib, by tho tjbeGovernment, unless sjiecinlly authorized hy Con gress.

Yet, next to ours, it is tho least. .Speaking of the Guillotine—ho likens thn Sub- Treasury to it! What a comparison! Pray, bow would tho Sub-Treasury system "takn your money quicker, “ than tlm prosout modo nf collecting it ?" There is nothing concerning this in tho plan.

Our government is one essentially democratic in its form, and should bo always so In its ndininistra- •ion. Enliko the Republics of ancient or modern times, in it there are no privileged ordert. Its very esienro is Democracy—and the great Declnrn- ration of Independence, which formed the basis on which nur Constitution wa* founded, carries this truth upon it* face—all men were born equal. It is in vain then for modern statesmen, who find the democratic principle imposes too high a barrier against tlioir vutihing ambition, to endeavor to con struct the meaning of that document to suit their own purposes. The people are satisfied with the spirit and the letter, and desire no such imnstruc- thin. An anonymous writer in our paper yesterday took iis to tusk for speaking of the “ simplicity ” of the Sub-Treasury plan. As we lind uot sufficient spijce then to follow him up, wo propose to do so to-day. He docs not deny that the plan is n simple one— but find.* fault with it because it is not “ complica ted.” This is certainly n most strange fault! The wisest oflavv makers from Solon down to our own times, have endeavored to simplify the laws so that nil might understand them. Ulackstonk, (whom lie quotes,) in his very first lecture, stated that “a competent knowledge of the Inws of thnt society in which we live, is the proper accomplishment of eve ry gentleman and scholar; an highly useful, I Imd nlmo*i said essential part of liberal and polite edu cation.” His commentaries were seat to the press Tor the express purj*n«o of simplifying tho law— n*t only for the me of tlio profrttiimul mnn, but for nil who thirsted Hlier knowledge. But, perhaps, our anonymous friend will say, the democracy never tliir*t for knowledge—or tlioy nre not scholars, and mayhap, not gentlemen.
