FOll VICK PRESIDENT. JOHN FORSYTII. Subject to the decision of n Natinnnl Convention. THE ADJOURNED MEETING TO-DAY. Every citizon In Savannah is presumed to he alive to tliu objects prepared to bo ufihcied nt the moot ing nt n ion to-duy,ut tho Kxclinngo. If motives of patriotism did out impel tieon to the morning, the consideration that their tuxes nre proposed to ho in creased, would have that etl'e -t; for no perron, how ever guided by the dictate- of honorable feelings, cun be toiully insensible to thoso demands, which re quire a portkm of hi* curuiog* us the price of tbo protection thrown around to shiuid bis property from lawlcs* inroad-. It is the first duty uf tho citizon to regard tic welfare of llm Slute, and of tint community whose interests are blended with his interests, and with tho happiness of thorn who ure to enjoy at some future day the proceeds of an industrious and wull spent life. 'flint a direct communication with our neighbours of South Carolina is essential to our increasing pros, purity, as citizen# of Savannah, we have always ho- lieved, and that we have not recently urged its im portance in our columns, wa* owing to our unxiety to hear the objection* which could be urged to a mea sure. which wo had a right to believe was unan imously approved by our citizens, uniil recently, whim the subject approached a crisis, which requir ed the consideration of tilts ways nnd means to in sure its success. Those fuw who dread the imposition of an addi tional tax to curry out a luuusiira so desirable, should dwell for a moment on tho results of that un- calculating zeal for a people's welfare which impel led them, in spite of tliu litmus of doubting oppo nents, tn venture u portion of their income in that Rail Ruud, wiiich many predicted would never lie constructed ten miles, bui would remain ns a testi mony of tho folly of Savauuians, who wore charged with turning back liko Lot, before reaching their destined place of security, und like him orcciing u pillar of their weaknoss. Thank heaven, wo huvo lived long enough to seo this lukuwiirinr.cs# rehuked by the A nils of this no ble outerprisu, which first in its maguituda und hearing upon u* as Georgians, should have been, ns it wus, first in tho eyes of tho people of Suvuonuh. If we cast it glance over tho list of stockholders in the Central Ilnil Ruud, we will observe that nil eludes of our citizen*, more or lass, felt tho ardor which Ia<d the foundation of lliul noble work, d>-s- tined io our day and generation to bo a monument of our entorpriro, and to oncournge others iu our State in uchioving, what i*#o easily to bo attained. Huving improved our lieulth in the nututnuul munths, by subinitiing to a tux which was wirely incurred, and from which we ure now relieved having connected our city with links of iron with three counties, which we are hastening to extend to others, anxious for the fruturnul connexion, shall we tiro in doing g .od 1 Enterprise, when awakened, knows no limits, except such as prudence dictates. Can any doubt the advantage of a closer connex ion with South Carolina. Let them look at the trade of Augusta, enhanced as it has been by her vuluubln bridges. This is near home, and therefore worth a thou sand examples,beyond our opportunity uf observing. What then! A tux has to be raised. True. But huve we nevor before paid taxest And when im posed fut public and private good, d» they not teuch us a little mure economy in our expenditures, that we may respond to objects of a higln-r charac ter than mere appetite indulgences. But wo con orive there will bo no nocessiiy f.r Heidsieck to be banished from the table of tbo Epicurean, nr good yaoken cider from the board ot' tho hardworking und industrious citizen. But we ura addressing a pimple who nerd no such uppeuls to their senses, internal or external. Our reuders ara those who have not only stood at the plough in tho days of their own need, hut intha hour of affliction, whoa others huvo cried lor aid, they ha.e emptied into their laps tho blessed con tributions of a city's churity. Wo therefore dismiss tho subjiut uf taxation, for we vorily believe thut the assessment of one per cent even will soon be re turned to tho citizen in tliu diminished price of those articlos of consumption, which all ate compel led tu pui chose. Increase the facilities of approach to our city, and the non-residents who seek our mar ket nut only add lo our exports, by their importa tion*; but by tho diffusion of their money in uur midst, they five e new impulse to ill of our trad ing community, who finding i reedy sole for their prodti.c, abd able m tern their HtUe capital mme frequently Into ea*h are prepared not only with the meant of a prafvsblc business, hot ndd new source* of wealth tu the city of their nativity or choice. In stead of a large stock of goods lying on the shelves, they disappear before the demands of trade, and now goods take their place. Instead of protests, haunting our dream# by night, and shaking our nerve* by day, the life of business chstcs them intu thin air, nnd the dollar* in our drawer* are collect- ed and safely deposited to meet the maturing draft. New otd< rs are given and filled, and our shipping, uur wharf owners, our merchnuts, ami all idcntifi d In interest wilhtlmm, spring forward with tho olns- t o impulse uf au increasing trade. We nre pledged, as chitons of thegreut seaport uf Georgia, to effect a communication with South Carolina. How it i* tu lie done, whether by ferry bents or by bridges, our oititens can this Hay deter- mine, unless they prefer tn commit the whole -ob ject to their city council, whose mcmltert associa ting houily with thrir constituents, know their wishes and it re prepared to curry them out and crown them with success. Action should bo thn watchword to-day. The log!datura of South Carolina is now’ In ses* •Urn. and our ft lend* in thut State desiring thl* cun. ncxinn, which like that ef the Sinme-o Twins should bo a fraternal bond to bo severed only by death,nre noxiously expecting a concerted and da- Unit.! action, which by clothing a responsible body- ns our city council, with power to act in the promt* >, will put down any intimiuiiun* from opponent* there, that the citizen* of Savannah, us ono people, set-k not a connexion witli their not them neighbors Some good citizon* object to a bridge ucres* the southern or city chnniiel, from theappadionrion thut sucli a bridge will materially injure tlie n-tvigarion of l he rivor it tints impair thut commerce which shuuld bo guarded us the upplo uf uur eye. Whatever may be (he opinions of scientific with regard lo the effect upon the bed of our riverof such « midgons Mr. Reynolds estimates the co*t of wo cannot but indulgo the hope that soma bridge can be planned which will remove the apprehon. shm# of those who very naturally feel nn abiding interest in that river, which is the main channel of our prosperity nnd happiness. Could we ima-;inv that the erection of a bridge between Hutchinson'siidaud nnd our own shoro is eventually tu drive from our wharves the masts of all nntions, which we viow from uur window, and locate them miles below the city, we would say-— /unite nnd refl -ct for years, before you fix UlU incit bus upon our future welfare. It is a matter whicli should he examined with all tho lights uf experience ami science. This cun beidoue under the direction of ourci'y council. U. S. Engineers as well as the arcomp!i>hod Engineer of the Central Rail Road cun furnish tho results of their observation, at well as tho experience of thoso who Imvo preceded them in the tusk of dcepeningcliiinncls and improving natr igablo wntar courses. Let us resolve to bo taxed; tn meet tho effort# of our neighbours of South Carolina, who huve alrea dy, as we learn, oppn-'d a road to connect with us. The derails can afterward* bo adjusted. If we fail nttlu* rime to net in concert; to re-pond to the exp ciattuus of our CuraUuu neighbor# resolve that wo will push on tho hull, which for so many years has been stationary, because but one or two, unaided, were striving to remove it from its sluggish position, but which tho united efforts of m toy recently started from its bed, we shall para lyze foe yo.«r* all further exertiuns oi our own or of our neighbors, and pr drably with unavailing sighs be left to regret our want of energy. We will not say moiv.for we anticipate tint tliu whole subject will be ably discussed at tho meolingi nt 12 o'clock M., this day. The bill for the chatter of die 8t.

Mr. Editor:—As the timo for tho final decis ion of the citizens of Savannah, upnn tliu very in teresting question of tha bridge draws near, tlm inbject seems to clothe itself wiihapeculiarimporl- mice and suiomnity. This day will lie decided the fate of our beautiful river; tho uvenae of our pro- •pectivu wealth and greatno**. As I cast nty eye over onrbusy port, and seo the stately ship* lying in tier* hy tha side of our wharves, active with tho bustlo of loading nnd discharging—their proud streamers floating to the breeze—the merry song of tho stovidures, as they screw home tho rich hur* vest of our cotton fields, and tho no less tuneful accompaniment of the careless sen men ns they place upon our wharves iu countless abundance, the products of every oli mo, between tho equator und the arctic ciiclo; when 1 look upon all these plea- objects, I cannot suppress a gloomy apprehen sion, that till this fuir and stirring scene, with ull its lively nud heart cheering adjuncts, is sunn tu hu reckoned among tiling* vital were, and thn melan choly epitaph of ilium fnit bo inscribed upnn our mpty ware houses, nnd our vacant wharves. The shout of triumph, that shnll proclaim thut ” tha bridge is curried," will bn tho knell of our com' merco. unless the common order of nut ore is re versed, nud rivers run bnck to their source* again. Already I *co in porspuctive a sickly little settle ment, growing upon piles along the tnnrshy b.inks, about the four mile point. The whole hnneful family of tertian, quartan, und quotidian, basking on its sedgy bordur*. Tho ship* clustering, fur tho la*l t»m« perhaps, all along between four mile, and Venus’ points, uud the river above, hero nnd tin dotted with lighter# nnd other small craft; thn shoals of the " wrecks" nnd tho •' Garden bank,” showing by their tipple, nt half tide, how soon thoy may be expeciod to show thejr sandy heads above the surface; and in the distance, at the West, the stately bridge, rising in solitary grandeur, n mauso leum to departed commerce. This is the durk side of tlie picture; the revorse is lighted up by liupet that tliu true interests of the city may be mnde so plainly tnnppoar, on the day of meeting, thut the monster of muny pi-Ts may ho reduced to its original element*. That nothing inay bo want ing, in the way of light, that nn humble individual may contribute, I pursue the subject a lil'la further, by replying to snmo oftho queries nnd objections of our persevering interlocutor of tho Republican of Tlmrsduy evening. Tins ingenious gentleman, true tn tho assumed character, blows us a breezo from all points or tho compos* at once. He was struck, he says, with our willingne** to have ii bridgu over the back river, and wonders we nru so averse to one over the Suuthorn brunch; a suddou flood of light, however, seems tu burst upon him, and ho cries otii in n sort ofecstaey that he Iras sulvud the mystery, or in tho word* of a celebrated projector, 41 ho ha# found nut n discovery,” namely, our inten ded excision of the "wood and lumber trade l" Are you sormus, my ingenious friend; do you really expect that wood und lumber, sm abundant on uur side of the liver, would bn brought to iis ft urn South Carolina, if we had iwonty bridges? It would be a novel rpectnclo indeed to seo a string of initio* drag ging loud* of Muck jack, and pitch pine, through thoso never to ho forgotten mads of South Carolina. that little has boon swept away by the iwlfttiM* of the current, to tin ssml bank, a few miles below the city which sooner or later, will limit the navigation ul tho river to that point, if it is not aotfompliibei by some tn- re sjardy process below. Thu current before Aogu*t* runs only down, and what ii swept away in its downward course, san never return— not so tho thie waters before the city of 8evannah | it Imsu constant and periodical ebb and flow, and obstruct ion# in iu bod ara as easily formed ftom its flood ns its cbh. When the rivor readies Saruntmh. its spe d nf current l« much amdiotstnl \ it hst been purring for mme than one hundred and fifty miles, over nil almost level face of country {it# impetus is hy thi#time, so far reduced, that its waters very muddy dupnsito any material of sufficient gravity, that it has brought thus fur with it, and the first oWlncio it meets will), arrests its progress, nnd ndds somewhat to the nlreudygmwing obstruction. Thi#, I most rullglouriy believe tube the true doctrine of obstruction *.i fat as re,ura* to our uwit river u# lo tha hr.dge over tho Ogocheo, it ha# nothing, in it# features, that ralato nt all to our pmjocted enter- prise—uud ws every one must know thU, it i* hardly worth while to suy anything more about it. I do not la'.iuvo any one will Ira found hardy enough to in-tltute a pdt-allel. The intelligence of our oppo- Hunt in this controversy appears to ho exceed ingl) local.

Bri-fly then, a# tho quustion will ndmit of, I reply—a bridge across thn back river would have a tendency to throw more water into the Southern channel, ami hy con sequence, increuso its depth ilirnugh its accelerated speed; one across the fruit river w-.uld uct inver sely, and every pilo or pier assist in the double oper ation of decreasing our wntor, and adding to our shoul*. Persons now in tho city, can easily re member tho formation of Island* in the Savannah river', one of^thsof a mile in circumference, formed from tho hulk of a boat—another of 10 or 15 ucres from a single tuft of marsh grass, lodging upon an incipient shallow. Many witnesses ef a mo«t raspectnblo rhuia -ter can testify to thu gradual in crease of many other Islands and sand banks iu tho river, particularly of the Southern shore of Hutch inson’s Island; nnd it is well known U) mme than one in thi# city, thut forty years ago Fig Inland was but an inconsiderable sand bank, passublc by boats at high water.

Subrequent observation* have enabled me lo state that an Iriundof some extent Iras been formed about inis very tree or, lug. Witli these facts, staring us iu thu lace, what shall we say? that one hundred piles euch of greater magni tude thun the log, or tha tuft of grass—driven in rows, across a very iliullow part of the riv-*r, would bavo a less injurious effect? Let those acquainted with Ike subject pass their opinions, and I shall be satisfied to abi Ic the result; and will vute fur the bridge, if one honest scientific opinion iu favour of it i« obtained.
