H.« i.,u. presented a memorial and petition of
sundry cii zens residing in Houston—which
having been read- Mr Bozeman moved for Ihe
passage of the bill—Mr. Welborn of Houston
opposed it.
Mr. Bozeman replied at some length. lie
regretted that h«* was compelled '*> d.ffer from

whom he entei tained the greatest respect. But
i sense of duty was guperior to the respect he
entertained for any gentleman on that floor.—
II .virig had the honor of presenting that lull
to the House, a conviction of its justice added
o a sense of duty urged him to support its
.•assuge. Air Bozeman said he was aware
• bat it was, in general, difficult to obtain Ihe
consent of the House to add a part of the ter
ritory of one county to another county, with-
>ur the concurrence of the members of the
rounty sought to b divided. In this case the
-.'Turners were extremely unfortunate, their
representative having set up his opposition to
lie passage ofthe Ixlt * Bui Mr Bozeman
otended that this case varied from those on
before his hapjiy conversion, w* rc us ret Idcss cf truth as
this Layman. And »ve a-e informed that Dr. Cooper is
an avowcu Infidel, and docs nut pretend to conceal it. In
addition tu this Dr. Cooper has never denied tbe author
ship, but has del'nded the pamphlet—and tiiercfire a-
dupts in, sentiments. We do not doubt bis beieg tiie au
thor of it.
V.’e merely give tbb as a pari of the passing hi-dory of
the day, to shew to the world that Thomas Cooper, M. D.

THR GOLD D1GGEK3.
We learn from undoubted sourcisthat serious attempts
are made in Hal!, Haber.-ham, and Ihe adjoining court-
lies to injure certain members of she last Legislature, tor
not having toted against the whole Load Bill, because he
Gold Dizgtrs were «xcliided from a draw. T »is i* just
one of those petty electioneering Hicks resorted to for po
litical di rt. Those who use ii are convinced that ihe
members from the counties named above, imd ihe up-
country members generally, were opposed to cxcluuirg
the gold diggers, as the Journals i-f the House w ii I show.
Li audition to what the Journals will prove, we know per
sonally that great exertions were made by tiie member*
from around the g-dd region, tu strike out that -clf.in —
and it’our memory *3 not very treacherous, the yeas anil
uoys vveie taken on the motion. But because these in
triguers knew tint this coaid be proved, they pretend that
tbose n>er.ibcrs ought to have voted against the whole
hiil. This would have hern a pretty sL ry indeed. Had
they voted ngiinst the bill, the noise made aboal it '-oidd
have been much louder against them. The Tabic B ek
and theCurrihee Mountains w ould li ne rung again, cud
the newspapers would have echoed it beck tb.il—Eit.tr
ami Cleveland, and Wofford,-ami Dunagnn and Pairs an t
Sliihliiut, and Anderson, and Tnrcll, and the -oschu t
knows who all—voted against Uir Land Pill!! Oh what
nuts it wot M h ive I ren to thrir enemies. But Ux-'misc
l - y dot net vote ag tins* the till, th*y ought to have done*
it because the Gold Diggers were exelu td Iron* israws.
Tiiis is about as reasOuaUJc a3 to say, that a iu;>n oegld to
Ct! his wife’s throat, bcause she h is nut a pretty nose, or
because one of his childirn is di-fm med, be ouglii to thr>»trf
all th^ rest intr ihe mil!pond- Such liuiculuus it-asunicg.

The truth i*: tint Vr.e Gold Diggers ought t® have bad
tlieir chance in Itie Lutterv;—ai d w<- assure oor np-:*ui»n-
fry friends, that it was no fault of Hall and Habersham,
if they did not get it. Itu' it is not yet loo-ta*;:. And ;f
the same members are relumed, we pledge oursi Ives, bat
they would du their b si lo reveal ’.hut part of the Law,
as they attempted before tostrik it out.

Upon what principle therefore would you com

V at largu ?—Under such views, Mr. Speaker,
said Mr B z‘in to. I took upon the bill under
consideration at loudly calling for the sanction
of the House, that the petitioners might share
qua! justice with others of this country.
.Mr. Bites then spoke against the passage

made some explanations for the satisfaction of

Mr B zeman again called for the question
for the passage of the bill A id the qu stion

vhic.h was also decided in favor of the passage

Mr Taylor moved to reconsider the j oimals
f yesterday ir relation to the foregoing hill,
md made some observations in favor of it.—
p ! South Carolina ar£ so deeply ccwcernd in the Augusta
L- Rail Baud? The answer is ready. A vast amount of
produce w.*>u!d be drained from Georgia for the support
of Charleston. Why did they not lay out the Ituad from
Charleston to Savannah? The answer is as obvious. In
this matter Charleston is the rival of Savannah. The rt-
va!, did we s *y? Alas, poor Savannah, by Ihe supineness
and niggardly policy of her own State, has >lraosl lost the
dignified name of rival. Her very vitais have been suffered
to languish, by those with whose interest* her own are iden
tified. Tbe mother has refused nourishment to her o* n
child, vehile she has offered her milk to stranger*. Wo
are equally the advocates of Augusta; but why should not
these twin-sisters combine to enjoy in common the rich in
heritance of their common parent? . If the Savannah Ric
ver cannot be at all times relied on as a channel of com
merce, why should not a Rail Raad go direct from Au~
gusta to Savannah? If Augusta must have a Rail Road,
why should not 'be fine site, presented by Richmond*
Burke, Scriven, Effingham and Chatham, invite the band
of enterprise, instead ot Edgefield. Barnwell, &c.? Why
should not Georgia merchants and Georgia planters enjoy,
the wealth of Georgia, instead of giving it away to the
people of Carofin.' 1 ? Are we lo sell our birth-right fora
mess of pottag. ? Shall Ihe cunning Esau cheat Jacob of
his father’s blessing? Has Georgia not only consented
to yi- Id up passively her inheritance, but has she also tost
>i!l family pride? Shame upon •»?!! Shame upon our
Legisialun !! Shame upon individual entetprise!!
I> is certain tbatlhc completion ofthe Rail Road from
Ch irk ston to Augusta, now in active pregross, will carry
a very great proportion of the wealth of Georgia through
Carclina, to Charleston. It is equally certain that
Charleston will drain all tbe wealth of that rich and ex
tensive part of Georgia that trades to Augusta. Charles
ton will become the port of entry as well as departure for
Augusta and the whole country that trades to it- Of
nil this wilt betaken Trent Savannah, and from
