thn following notiee, dipped from an ex
change, is hot another proof of the dispoettion
so frequently manifested on the port of oar for
eign population to organise into bands and par
ties for the purpose of attempting te control the
elections, and thus to stamp the legislation of
the country with their poenliar Ideas and
principles. They adhere rigidly to all their
habits and eostnmes, and preserve their dis
tinct political organisations, even though the ad
ministration party throughout the country has
labored insidiously to entice and allure them in
to their organisation. The foreigners refuse
to disband, and, hy so doing are enabled to,
and do, dictate terms to the administration
party. Victory is valueless to them, unless
they share the spoils and plunder, and the on
ly sure means of securing this division is
to present themselves in one solid body and
demand of their, allies—-the administration
party—an equal share. The past history of our
country is replete with sneh bargains between
the foreign population and the progressive
Democracy, and the history of the present ad
ministration furnishes numerous illustrations
,ef that fulfilment of such contracts and bargains.

Mb. Choatk.—One of the most eloquent ef
forts of this great orator was made it a late
Whig meeting in Boston. It was an appeal in
behalf of the Union, and n denunciation of
the doctrines set forth In the late treasonable
speech of W. H. Seward. He eomes down Up
on that demagogue In s burst of manly. Indig
nant eloquence. His contrast of Seward and
Webster Is most striking. Bat the reptile,
who is traekiag his sinuous way in slime to the
high places of the earth, feels ne sense of
•home or loferiority even when he looks upon
the eagle sailing in mid heaven and' battling
fearlessly with the storm. It is to be hoped
that the efforts of Mr. Choate and kindred spirits
throughout the North will arrest the mad wave
of fonatictsm and sectionalism, and save the
Union. Certainly, the North has more peenni
ary interest in the preservation of the Union
than the 8outh, and therefore every Northern
statesman, from loyalty to his own section, as
well as for love of the common country, should
fight against dissolution.—Richmond Dispatch.
Study.—There are two methods of study;
the one is the studying an author, the other
may be called studying a subject In the for
mer ease the student purposes to make himself
master of the whole contents of a book; he dili
gently peraess it and becomes familiar with
the style and language and the sentiments of
the writer. By the other method, he follows
op any particular branch of knowledge through
all the books in which it may be fonnd;searcb-
es in them for every passage that is to bis pur
pose, and collects everywhere the scarttered
particles of information. Of these two methods
of seeking knowledge, the first is mnch to bo
preferred. By dilligently fixing the mind upon
one hook at a time, the intellectual faculties in
the three branches of apprehension, attention,
and memory, are exereised, disciplined, and im
proved; whereas by the other practice, when a
subject is panned by the help of indexes through
a Inaltitude of authors, and writers are consulted
only as hooks of reference, a superficial discursive
habit of study grows upon the mind, and the stud
ent will be so far from improving the three facul
ties above mentioned, that be is in danger of
impairing them. And no man of letters can
safoly trust himself with this plan of study, till
be shall, have first diligently wrought into his
mind firm habits of accurate attention by long
pntotiee of the other.-

TUESDAY M0RSI.YG, ffOV’ft *0,1855.
That Declaration of War!
The last Southerner holds out the crimson
colored flag—war is announced, and wo aro
notified that the terms of peaoe heretofore re
cognised are withdrawn. From charitable oon
siderations you have withheld your vengeance
and wrathful indignation, long pent op with its
pointed arrows steeped in wormwood and gall;
which are note to bo hurled at what you are
pleased to regard as a downtrodden foe. Mag.
naaicous indeed, thus to treat one who in your
opinion is already prostrate. Bot I will arise
and brash the dost off my sandals and dip my
pen in liquid dye, in defence of the cause of
my country. In your attacks upon my rights
yon have caused my tongue to otter hard Words)
and may yet learn my hands unwillingly to go
to war. Bat, before I do this let me examine
the eanse of this complaint that forced yon to
this declaration; tainted as it is with sulphu
rous fames. “ They are set forth in the reso
lution adopted by the county meeting held at
the court house last Tuesday.” The first and
perhaps the most grievous eanse of complaint
is that the American Party, “manifest an un
yielding purpose to get control of the State and
Federal Governments” in order “to foist upon
this country Federal principles.” This then
is the eanse of. my offence; and for whleh I am
to ho arraigned before the bar of public opinion
La answer to this charge, whilst I have no ex
cuse to offer, mast plead guilty and demand a
trial. I know, that they are qdloue to many ;
yet this shall not deter me from advocating
principles which Iconceive to be right Yon
may in obedience to this prejudice desire their
destruction; I, upon the contrary, wish to see
them perpetuated. We will therefore, at the
proper time endeavor to withstand those “lusty
Mows” with which you threaten us and ward
them off as best I may. Let however, the
house be “set in order” before we take a voy
age in search of those odious Fedoral Princi
ples. At this,present time my attention is
drawn to the acts and doings of the Legislature
of the State of Georgia. We wish to know the
condition of her finances—the amonnt of burden
whieh the people will have to bear for the next
two years—to learn something more about her
Rail Roads—amount of capital invested in the
then it maybe treated as an independent work.
It was, boyoad all question, the intention of
the projectors of the work, so long as it re
mained in’ the hands of the State, to effibftrte
both those objects. First to make it a paying
road and sooond to extend commercial foeiUtits
to those who were by natare debared easy acoeii
to commercial ports as woH as to benefit the
Stale at large. It haa accomplished all these
ends save that of making it a profit to tbo
State. To 'facilitate this ohjoet the schedule
of freights should be regulated as per mile
without discrimination in favor of those who
Uve beyond the State to the injury of those
who reside within her borders.*-. This does not
exolnde snob discriminations as wUl have a ten
dency to develop the resources of tho8tateand
adds to its general prosperity.
Bat brf* cAn the toad be removed from tbo
political arena!. The Governor does not specify.
There propositions are alludod to—some say
1 lease it; others say plaee it under the control
of aommtasionors oleotod by the people ; while
others desire that it should be sold. Expe
rience has sufficiently demonstrated that it
never haa been a source of profit to the State.
Ib the message before ns we infer from the
language used that the people will have to he
•taxed again to meet the “largo liabilities of the
Western A Atlantic Rail Road*” The Gover
nor was “looking” at those “ liabilities” when he
penned this paragraph, and declared that tax
ation ahonld famish the revenue, to meet the
heavy demands that will stature in 1856. To
relieve the people from this burden wo advo
cate tbo sale of the road. Lot the Legislature
affix a price upon tbo toad—Let books be open
ed in different counties of the State, and when
the stock shall have been taken, let a transfer
be made to the company. ■ *
Relative to granting State aid generally to
Rail Road Companies its wisdom may be ques
tioned. . That it should not entirely withhold
assistance is obvious. For this would evince
an improper spirit towards enterprise. Such
works as are of Manifest importance, being
main trunks designed to lead to commercial
marts, should, If necessary, receive State aid;
not, however, to the disparagement of her
credit; or to involve her interest permanently
with individual enterprise. This course of
policy while it will sufficiently foster works of
internal improvements will- at the-Same time
without undue “stimulation” give them a “judi
cious direction.”
In the cause of education all ahould feel a
lively-interest. As “ it promotes public peace
gives security to property, diminishes crime,
and hastens the march of civilisation,” so it
should receive the attention of our greatest
statesmen. Viewed in this light, the-money
judiciously expended in its cause, is justifiable
upon the score of political economy. A “spe
cific” plan should be matured before the rising
of the Legislature. Of the multitude of sug
gestions no system would meet the means of
the State better than that of free schools based
upon the normal plan.
Ia the recent election upon-the removal ques-
’ tion.it is not a “fair construction” to say “that
the popnlar will is overwhelmingly opposed to
removal.” Here are my figures for saying so;
there are 101,250 voters in the State as polled
at the last election; 80,326 voted upon this
qnestion; 49,781 voted “no removal;” 34,545
by declaring that for “ourselves wo have not
boen accustomed to make oounty officers the gift
of party for meritorious services, but our oppo*
neats bate dared 0| to the coo tost for party su-
protpacy.” For principles and merit wo will
raffle^witb this editor. A challenge now is
accepted—weapon! of warfare chosen—the field
of eombat determined on and this valient knight
of the goose quill shall record the fesult. He
blows his trumpet calling Upon his cohorts to
stand by his candidates "like men,” for he U
going to "pitch into Nicodentus.” The strings
are to be tightly drawa-roo quarter (a to bo
given to political opponents—a war of exter
mination is resolved upon. This being the ease
well may we enter the contest doilbtingly with
a few sling of troth, however, we hope to pro*
vail in at least quieting the rage of this frothy
editor* Therefore, let every true American
put on his armor—renew his exertions, and
with a heart glowing with patriotic zeal, “up*.

Republican American Liberty.— The Right
of Americans to Self Government.—By George
8. Bryan.—The Americans, though fond of
speculation and political metaphysics, are yet
at bot tom an eminently practical and sober peo
ple. With them liberty and the eXereisa of the
right of self government are practieal and sober
realities. They and their fathers have had a
stern and costly schooling, in these high and
solemn matters. By a toilsome progress, by
slow steps, by patient wolf denial, by the re*
attaints of severe religious faiths, by the tri
umphs of the closet even more than by the
bloody achievement of the. battle field ; by de 1
foating powerful enemies, and stilt more by
conquering themtetoesy they have teamed to hi
free l they have won and .earned the right and
proved their fitness for self government?, they Mr.
nave planted deep the foundations and reared
high the walls on the only Republic on earth;
and shall they not believe; and insist, that (hey
alono have the absolute right and are fitteetto
maintain the Work of their own bands ?
“Died Yesterday.”—Every day is written
fn this little sentence: “Died yetterdsjr, so and
so.” Every day a flower is plncked from some
sunny home—a breach made in some , happy
circle—-a jewel stolen from some treasury of
lore. Each day from the summer fields of life,
some sentirel foils from bis post, and thrown
from the ramparts of time into the surging
waters of eternity* Even as we write, the fu
neral of one who “ died yesterday,” winds like
s shadow along the street.
“Died yesterday.”". Who died? Perhaps it
was a gentle babe, sinless as an angel-pnre as the
Zephyr’s hymn—one' whose laugh was as the
g«sb of summer’s rills lottoring in a bower of
rososr-wbotie little life was a perpetual litany,
a-May time crowned' with the passion flowers
that never fistic. Or mayhap it was a youth,
hopeful and generous^—a snrpent Iurkieg un
derneath—one whose sonl'panted after com
munion with- the greatand good, and reaefaed
forth with earnest straggle for the guerdon
in the distance. But that heart of his is still
how, for “he died yesterday/*
“Died yesterday." A young girl pure as
the orange flowers that elapsed her forehead,
was sttikeo down, as she stood at the alter;
and from the doll sissies of the temple, she
was borne to the “garden of the slnmberers.”—
A tali, brown man, girt with the halo of vieto-
ry, and the day's close under bis own vine
and fig tree, fell in the dost, even as the, an*
them trembled upon bis lips; and he, too, was
laid “where the rode forefathers of the hamlet
sleep.”
An aged pstrUeb bqwed with age andeare
even as he lookod upon the distanthills for the.
coming of the angel host, sank info a dream
less slumber; and on bis door post next day,
was written “ Died yesterday.”
“Died yesterday." Daily, men, women and
children ore passing away, and hourly in tome
graveyard the soil Is Hong apoo the dead. As
often at the morn we find some flower that

Governor’s Hessage.
By reference to this doonmont we find that
for the last two years the sum of $1,012,881-
25 cents have been received into the State
Treasury. This sum includes both ordinary
and extraordinary sources of revenue. The
aggregate sum of $182,627 embraces the extra
ordinary and of this amount $150,000 is set
down to (be credit of the Western A Atlantic
Rail Road. For the ordinary source* of Reve
nue we hare the sum of $930,244 03 cents,
and the disbursements for the same period
amounted to $946,828 97 cents, showing a de
ficit of $16,630 9 cents, according to my arith
metic instead of $16,730 94 cents as we 6nd it
in the message. Of tbe merits of the docu
ment we have hot little to say except that it is
remarkable for its length suggestive of specu
lative plans with but few specific recommen
dations. It will be ray pupose to speak not
only 1 of those topics alluded to in the message,
but of others not embraeed iU it which should
In tbe present issue I nan but glance at tbe
various subjeete without entering into their in*
triaiie merit by argument. We will therefore
only allude to somo of the most important sub
jects brought to tbo consideration pf tbu Legis
lature. One of them is what shall ba the prop
er disposition of tho Western A Atlantic Kail
Road. The Governor is fhvorably inotined to
its being removed beyond, the political arena.
! In this we agree. Jlow or iuwhat mitnner shall
I this he done ho. does not Apeotfy'.' “IF,” say*
.the message, you design U to.ba a paying
we have the sum or 58,445; which is a major
ity of the whole voting population. Had the
places as specified by the Resolution of the
last Legislature been adhered to in the casting
of the.vote and these 23,900 been added to tbo
number of voters upon- this question, the pop
ular voice would have been more clearly oscer-
tamed. As tiie vote stands there is a reason
able doubt as to what is the popular sentiment.
Let “a decisive action bo made,” and a “qtile-
tus” be put “ to the farther agitation of the
subject.” If Milledgevillo should he. deter
mined upon instead of repairing the old dilap*
idated buildings lot us have a house that will
be an ornament to the State and equal to tbe
position which she occupies in the confederacy
of States. Atlanta is the most central to the
voting population and the most accessible point
in the State. . '
The 7 per eent. should be repealed, and the
contracting parties agree upon the rate per cent.
This will place mony upon tbe same condition
with property which it represents and subjects
to tike fluctuation.
The Governors more lengthy upon our Fed
eral relations than any one subjeet embraced
in tbe message. As we must necessarily be
brief, we wiU sitnply say| that when tbe people
of Kansas makes, application for admission into
the Union and is rejected on account of slavery
being incorporated into her constitution as a
lost resort we hope to see tbe people of tbe
South united: upon the 4. resolutions. But Kan
sas is already tetiAin the Union and needs no
unworthy expulsion, for upon the exercise of
tbe volition of hor own mil she exhibits sov
ereignty. If she is determined to dress herself
ip the habiliments of sovereignty, let her de
cide for herself, the-position she will take, and
it will be tbe bounden duty of all to abide by
that decision.

France, garnished, decorated with all tbe ttophies
of a supreme civilisation—has taken refuge
from.the’convulsion apd dtDarqby .of f ber oft-
repeated experiments, ofrepublican self govern
ment, .in the arms of an absolute despqtism ;*
and exchanged the Poet, the Orator, the inspired
.Evangelist of Liberty, Lamartine, for Louis
Napoleon, wittt hip cold, subtle brain, and his
five hundred thousand bayonets. And Germany
—the sohoolhouae of the worjd—the treasury of
all knowledge, with its learned professors, who
.have mastered the literature of-, every people,
living and dead, and spelled out seorets of tbe
long buried mysterious monuments ofthe past,
wbo have poured a flood of light upon the career
of every antecedent nation, and re- written their
history and interprets their institutions, andjtre
fit to be and are tho schoolmasters and teachers
of every other peopfoT—Germany, tho birthplace
of religious liberty and Luther, where liberty-
has so many lovers, where so mneb profound
speculation and raplarojta poetry and burning
eloquence have been^pended and lavished In
her cause—GermanyVw.bosp soil was bntyester-
day drenched in tbo blood of many.an enthusi
astic martyr for - liberty—still .’wear> the iron
yoke of Frederick WiQiam of Prussia, and Jo
seph of Austria.
And what can be said of repnbliesn self gov-
eminent in Spain, Italy and Portugal? Tbe
same sad story is told of all—the same dismal
fate for. liberty. Lot tbe foot be repeated, and
a thousand times ropeated, until its meaning
and worth be recognised.and admitted, that in
the United States alone ia self . government-
republican self government—a. foot ana not a
a fuiluro; on experience and not a speculation ,-
a glorious reality and not a fond dream; . the
life and soul, tbe faith and rule, , of a mighty
people. Solitary among the nations, no kindred
light keeps company with our own glorious con
stellation ; we are tbe only Republic left to
testify for freedom.
Tbe Art or Bbino Agreeable.—The true
art of being agreeable is to appear well pleased
with all tbo company, and rather to seem Well
entertained with them, than to bring entertain-'
ment to them. A man thus disposed, perhaps
may not have much learning, nor any wit,
but if he has common-sense and something
friendly in'his' behavior, it coneilates men’s
minds more than the brightest parts without
this disposition ; and when a man of snob a turn
eomes to old age, he isalmost sure to be treated
with respect. It is true; indeet f that we should
not dissemble when in company ; bill A man
may be very agreeable, striotly consistent with
truth and slnoeriiy, by a prudent silenee where
he cannot eonenr, and a pleasing assent where
he ean. Now and then you meat with a person
so exactly formed to please, that he will gain
upon every one* that hears or beholds him; this
disposition it not merely the gift of nature* but
frequently the effeot of much knowledge of the
world; and a command over tbe passions.

• A correspondent of tbe New , -
an interesting hbcount of the manner railroads
are managed in Germany :
-“Every railroad company isbonnd by law to
hive a double track .'on their lines, and no per
son is allowed to walk on a railroad track at
any time, by day or night, under penalty of the
law. A Barrier, coosistingof two strong planks;
isplaeod.along tbfeside ofthe tracks, to keep
off animals. Every fifteen or twenty miles along
tbe track there is astation for a guard oj- watefa-
mun, who lives in a tittle but beside tne road,
and whose business it Is to be at bis post, with
shred flag in histand, at tho approach of every
train; and before the train is doe to patrol his
beat to see that all is safe, and to remove all
obstacles which are sometimes placed upon th4
track by miscreants. In the case of danger,
.theguard hoists «n a telegraph, so called, which
stands near each gUaM House; a fed printed
“egseet” which can be seen by the engineer a
great distance ; ’bnt if every thing Is right, the
two wooden arms of the telegraph are stretched
in the air. During the night there is instead
of the cascel, a lantern with a., deep red light
placed in the air as a warning of danger ; and
a common One if allis iiiA safe condition. At
every crossing there is.A gate,.’which is locked,
np as soon ais a train is due, and anyone, either
on horseback' or in a carriage who desires to
cross most wait nntil the train .has passed.”
Some such relations would not conte amiss
in this country.
