The Union is safe, liber ty is secure when men of such noble bearing aud pa triotism are theiradvocatesnnd defenders. [After the cheering subsided, Maj David C. Camp bell. President of the day. aud late of South Carolina, rose, and in an eloquent address address, replied to the above toast. We regret that it is out of our pow er to obtain a copy of this address for publication; it did great honor to the head and heart of the speaker.— It was replete with all that could cheer the patriot, or transport the hearts of freemen'. It was a proud spe cimen of American eloquence, ushering foith in gen tle streams, sentiments of American patriotism, im bued with the spirit of American chivalry, receiving, throughout its delivery repeated and constant cheers from all present. Maj. C. concluded by offering the foliowing toast: Nullification: A quack remedy for diseases of the stale—u destroys the patient it would attempt to cure 4. The memory of Thomas Jefferson: “United we stand divided-we fa|l.” 5. Andrew Jackson: A second Washington—the hearts of his countrymen as a monument, his great re ward. 6.

The Union Party of Georgia: Their old enemies present themselves before them with a White flag and a new name- the faithless and dishonest mayfly to their flag of truce, and assume their name, their ranks may be thus partially swelled in point of numbers, but in the hour of trial virtue will overcome vice, truth will out-do falsehood, aud principle will prevail over names —the Union party will triumph. 11.

Including the short steain-hoa: communication from Pensacola to St. Marks, inland, it will he perceived, that this route, for a dou do track rail road, will form the best possible national thoroughfare across the Isthmus o' Florida, with a Naval rendezvous at one end (Pensacola) and what will ere Jong have to be made a Naval ren dezvous at the other end.(Brunswick:)—between which, the two most important poiuis, as to na val ani marine advantages, South ofthe Capes of Virginia, for the protection and defence of the Southern aud Western States—troops, oidnauce. munitions, and provisious, iu time oi war, might he transferred, vice versa, as exigences might re quire, at a moments warning, to meet .tit euemv upon either side of the Isthmus, for the defence of Florida and tho Western States, or Georgia aud thfc Caiolinas. This Brunswick and St. Marks rail-road wiil, no doubt meet the general approbation of Con gress ; and it is probable au application will be made to her respecting it. before it is completed. It is proper that Cougiess should have some Agency and co-operation m a woi k of such na tional importance, especially on that parr ofit witli- iu the limits of Florida: and should it he n*quir cd to complete the enterprize, <he will, no doubt, sobscrihe for a reasonable portion of the stock, to be located aud expended upon that end of the route, between St- Marks aud the Florida line. ft is believed that the capital of this national route for a doable track rail-road (commencing with a single track which will facilitate the work of laying down tho other) will be liberally met, by capitalists, merchants, and melt of enterprize iu Boston, Portland, Providence, New-York, l'hi- lad n !phia, Baltimore, Mobile and New-Orleans ; and by the General Government if required.

" 1 niaus, Eastern Kentuckians, and North Eastern Tennesseeans, are content. The inhabitants of the “ Queen of the West.” Ciuciunatti, are com- mitled to this route. But wo aye assured that Western Kentucky, Middle and South Eastern Teuuessee, and Aiabamn, prefer a route through Georgia. The feelings of very many of the Delegates, we believe, are with us, aud of a ve ry large section of the country. But great diffi culty meets us Irom the fact that Georgia was asleep, wheu Carolina was active by her agents, in getting charters from the States mentioned, all looking to, and sauctiouing a road through her owu Territory. If I may now hazard an opinion I may say that a majority of nil tho Delegates will be in favor of the Carolina road being brought to Knoxville from Cincinnati, extended thence by the French Broad, agreeably to tho Carolina views, aud a branch carried from Knoxville iuto Georgia, by way of Rabun County, to unite with the Georgia Rail Koad Company. Public in quiry is also directed strongly to a road, entering Georgia in Murray County, aud giving us the trade of North Alabama aud W’estern Tennessee. The Delegates from Gaorgia met this evening to consult upou the course they will pursue. A good feeling prevails among them. I trust that in all they may do. the iuterest of our beloved City will be respected. I believe it.” KNOXVILLE, July 7,1836.

The White Electoral Ticket: a 1 legates to pursue in General Convention. {the several Stales amending their charters,) to join the main rhad at any point, and entitled to full nnd equal privileges. The undertaking to build the road from the At lantic to the Ohioiuvoivesa vast amount of mon ey, and the great argument iu favor of an unbro ken, continuous route, is that capitalists would uot subscribe to a road of this nature unless it was without obstruction and under the coutrol of one corporation The States desiring branches with the great road, can avail themselves ofthe offers made, and reap some advantages at a comparatively small cost. It may be of great advantage to the State of Georgia, Augusta, aud Savannah; as Georgia will offer certainly as good markets as Carolina, she may expect as freely to participate the trade front the Valley of the Ohio. The Convention meet again to morrow at 8 o’clock.gto decide on a proposition to recommend the Georgia Rail Road Company to surrender their charier from Athens to Clayton, and to un ite with the Cincinnati,• Lousville and Charleston Rail Road Cmnpauy, to build a road from Atbeus, Ga., to some couuectiog po : ni in this State, or to Clayton iu Rabun. The Convention will, no doubt adjourn to-morrow. JULY 8—The Conventiou adjourned to-day at 12 o’clock. The best feelings prevailing front every quarter. The location of the main Road will, of course, depend hereafter on the Stockhol ders, It will probably go through South Caro lina, in which case Georgia can avail herself of all its benefits, either by individual enterprize or State action, on full and equal privileges. The Georgia delegation have recommended an The annual losses now sustained by the Insur ance Companies of the country, upon the coast ol Florida and the Bahama Islands, is estimated ahou: five hundred thousand dollars per annum, and. perhaps au equal amount lost by iudivi duals not insured, exclusive cf the Iqss of lives. The above rail-road will uuite the common iu terest and national defence of th-3 Southern Atlantic aud the Western States and Florida in time of war, and at the same time afford an un rivalled aud perpetual secure channel for com merce and quick transportation of passengers and the mails between New York and the North era cities and New Orleans, both in time of war aud peace. Hence, besides the numerous importnatnational advantages and facilities to the Southern* Atlantic States, aud the South-western division of tho U- nion upou the Gulf of Mexico, iu time of war and peace; and to the middle northern, and western States, also, iu regard to agriculture and com merco; together with the protection and pros perity of the coasting aud European trade to the Gulf of Mexico, and the Mississippi river ; and the preservation of the lives aud property of Nor thern and Southern merchants aud mariners from shipworck aud exposure to piracy ; and Abo perior comfort, despatch and cheapness of the transportation of passongers and the heavy m..i!s. between New Orleans and New York, and other Northern cities, iu preference to the present mode of delays and cram'd stages, by day and % night. through the interior of the country, overbad roads, bridges and ferries. We mean to say that exchi sive of all tho above public, national, and in dividual benefits, the toll, or nett income of the contemplated rail road from Brunswick to St. Marks, iu connection with the lineofSteain Pac kets at each end, will pro- e permanent and vastly lucrative to the Stock holders, can never be rivalled by any counter project to effect the same objects, which are secured by the charter to the Company, as excln&ive and perpetual rights aud privileges.
