Georgia L-cRlsIatnrc.
In a postscript in our last, we gave Inn or
ganization of the two Houses. It appears the
Nullifiers have got the President of the Senate;
while the Union Party have the Secretary of
that branch;-as well as the Speaker and Clerk
ofthe House.
Little has been transacted yet in cither
branch.
Friday last was occupied in the election of
Judges, Solicitors, &c. The following is the
result, so far as We have heard :
For the Chattahoochee Circuit—Marshall
J. Wellborn to be Judge,—on the lltli ballot
ing—beating his opponent (Sturgis) 4 votes.
Gov. Gilmer.
The Message of the Governor will bo found
I in this paper.
This is about the best production of llis Ex-
I cellency we have ever seen. Not that it con-
| tains any idea remarkable for its brilliancy;
hut for being a comprehensive, common-sense
document, which confines itself mostly to the
plain business before it, in a plain, business
like manner. Governors’ Messages Have, of
late years, degenerated into such long, wordy,
I wisliy washy concerns, filled with common
place sayings and abstruse speculations, tliat it
is a relief to meet with a document filling less
than half a dozen columns, and confined simply
to the business the Executive measurably lias
before it.
No one doubts the patriotism, the honesty of
Mr. Gilmer. But the warmth of his feelings
often leads him into error—and his nervous
temperament is too excitable for grave delib
eration. Hence he shows, at times, a degree
of petulance and irritability dreadfully con
trasting with his otherwise amiable disposition.
His unsuspecting confidence in his political
friends, leads him into some terrible mistakes,
llis great error is, that of trusting them too
much.
In the ordinary rotine of Executive duties,
there is little deman ling any extraordinary exer
cise of talents or statesmanship. The line of
his duty is plainly defined: and but little is
left to his discretion. So long as ho contents
hjmself with a conscientious discharge of his
duties, regardless of consequences, his path is
plain and clear. It is only when he enters the
arena of politics, aud endeavors to convert his
office into an engine, with which to electioneer
either for himself, his friends, or his party, that
embarrassment meets him. When he becomes
“ the Governor of a party,” his step is every
minute fettered, and his hands clogged; and
difficulties rise continually in his way.
Wo believe it is Mr. G’s. desire to honestly
discharge his official duties. And probably he
might have done so, satisfactorily, at his for
mer term, had lie adhered to his first resolution,
of being “the Governor of the Stato, and not
of a party.” But ho was seduced from this
course, through his weak, though amiable re
gard for the opinion of his friends.
With the jrarty to Which he adheres with so
much devotion, Mr. G; has scarcely a principle
in common; while, with the party lie opposes,
we believe he coincides in most of his ideas.—
“ I like your doctrine, (says he, in effect,) but
'Jiate your men. 4 ’ His prejudices being strong
er than his judgment.
If there ever was a case in which a man was
ruined by his friends, Mr. G. is an example.
He has been repeatedly defeated by their ma
chinations. In fact, he never was elected
without the assistance of his enemies. They
elected him the first time ho was Governor;
they have elected him to Congress; and it was
through their aid that he is now iu the Execu
tive Chair.
And that ho will again be the dupe or the
victim of his party, wo feel perfectly satisfied.
Whether he will offer for re-election, is uncer
tain. It is presumed, however, that the press
ing claims of others will force hint into retire
ment, at the end of the present term, should
their prospects be flattering. Be it as it will,
from the Democrats he can expect nothing but
honorable opposition; and that he is sure to
receive. From his own party, let him expect
never so much, ho will get a great deal more!
He will roceivo no spariug amount of flattery,
and man-worship, and oaths of fidelity, and all
that sort of thing; and in addition, more trea
chery than his unsuspecting nature will allow
him to believe. And, should lie be agaiu beat
en, he will never think of attributing his defeat
to the artifices and treachery of his own party,
but to the unreasonable and violent opposition
of bis enemies!
We are gUd to see Mr. Gilmer has renoun
ced some of his former errors; and among oth
er reformations, that lie has adopted the ideas
of the age, in regard to Internal Improvements,
lie no longer thinks Rail-Roads unsuited to
our condition, or too expensive for our means.
His ideas on this subject correspond pretty well
with our own; and we trust will have their
proper weight before the Legislature.
We trust no Union Member of tlm Legisla
ture will oppose the recommendations of Mr.
Gilmer, merely through opposition; but will
give them all a calm and attentive considera
tion.
On somo other subjects, also, wo concur
with His Excellency: particularly on that of
Reduction.
It is only whoa alluding to tlio General Gov
ernment, and the Administration, that Gov. G.
lets off his native spleen. His sentiments in
relation to the Sub-Treasury and the Divorce
oftlie Government from Banks, &c. will bo
<hily appreciated, and' taken for exactly what
they are worth.
Extension of the State Road.
“The Editor of the Coustitntionalist is for termin
ating that mad where it will benefit the greatest mini-
! her ofconntics, and if we construe Inin rightly, is
1 inclined to believe its protein terminus the best point
! Onr reasons for n different opinion have been given,
and especially directed to show that it is madness in
the State to wait at White Hull in DeKalb, to lie joined
by the chartered companies."
“ Georgia, after completing her great road to DcKalb,
must trail an indefinite time for the operation of private
corporations, lend them her powerful aid, extend her own
road to a point at which it will he in their power to join
her, or, Jailing in one or all of these, see her own work
a profiteer wreck on her hands. She cannot avoid the
alternative, i ler hundreds of thousands are gone; and
site has reached the point at which she must do or suf
fer.” •
“We have not taken up the gauntlet to do battle for
Millcdgeville. We put lortli arguments. It is best
that the State should extend her road to join the Cen
tral Kail-Road.
Is:. liecauso in so doing, she will make money.
This is evident, if the business of the road is at all
equal to iu promise; fur the extension will be on ground
so far superior to that already undertaken, that its
cost per mile will be reduced nearly one half. Every
mile of the extension, under these circumstances,
gives a better hope of profit on the whole.
3d. Because the Companies having charters author
ising them to join the State'a work, are not able to do
it early enough to prevent the State from losing a
heavy a moil lit, by delay alone.
3d. Because this delay can be lessened in only two
ways: the State must lend her credit or her capital to
these Companies, and thus put the control oftlie result
outofher power; or extend her own roqd fur enough
to accomplish the purpose. Ought she to entrnst to
other hands so greatau interest, when she lias lavished
her money as water?
4th. The road by way ofthe seat of Government to
Savannah, is the shortest to the Atlantic. Let us ex
amine this question:
from Savannah to Macon, as measured, is 200 miles
Macon to Forsyth,
Forsyth to DeKalb main trunk,
Total,
From Charleston to Augusta, is
To Or.-v-ncsboro’,
To DeKalb,
Total,
From Savaiuinli to Millcdgeville, is
To DeKalb,
24 miles
70 miles
294 miles
136 miles
75 miles
95 miles
296 miles
ICO miles
95 miles
255 miles
Total,
Here, then, we have a difference of forty n.. ‘ cs ,n
tlio distance by wny of the seat of Government."
The above extracts are from the Federal U-
nion. We copy them to shew what sort of
arguments the Milledgcvillc Editors rely upon ;
and theyairncs* with which they state facts.—
The Federal Union places the distance from
Millcdgeville to DeKalb at 95 miles. (The
Recorder guessed the same distance to be
eighty miles! Our own opinion is, from hav
ing travelled over the ground more than once,
that a Rail-Road between the two places
would measure over a hundred miles. Again,
the Federal Union estimates the distance by
Rail-Road from Macon to Savannah, at 200
miles—and the distance from Milledgevillc to
Savannah,at 100! The two places,Milledge-
ville and Macon, being only 30 miles apart !—
The Engineer of the Central Ilail-Road, how
ever, estimates the distance from Savannah to
Macon nt 196 miles. From Savannah to Mil-
ledgcville a Road probably might be made 10
to 15 miles shorter.
So that the route via Macon to the Main
Trunk, not only passes through the most im
portant and interested sections of country, but
over a better ground, and i*. but a trifle if any
thing further—as Macon is some mile3 nearer
the terminus in DeKalb than MilledgeviUe is.
Besides, 25 miles of the most expensive part of
the Road is already done.
The Federal Union says, that 44 Georgia,
after completing her great Road to DeKalb,
must wait an indefinite time for tbc operation
of private corporations, lend them her power
ful aid, extend her own Road, or see it a pro
fitless wreck on her hands.”
This picture is nearly true : and it is a strong
argument why the State should extend her aid
to the incorporated Companies—which she
can do much more advantageously to herself,
than in building the Roads. On the one hand,
the Companies can build the Roads better and
cheaper than the State can do it. And on the
other hand, by loaning her credit, with good
security, to the Companies, the State would
run no risk, and actually derive a profit.
For the State to set about extending her
Road to Millcdgeville, or in any other direc
tion, before the first part is done, would be a
heavy and unwarrantable expense. She would
have to withdraw her Engineers and officers
from that Road, and delay that work, or em
ploy another corps. Either of which should
not be thought of.
Tlte Companies have the Engineers and As
sistants, contractors and laborers; have partly
made their surveys; and have nothing to do
but go ahead. While the State would have jo
begin de novo.
AH that the Companies want, is the endorse
ment of the State, to allow them to make a
speedy completion of their works. And all
that the State wants, is to have the Roads
speedily finished, and good security that she
will not eventually be the loser.
The State having granted the charters of
these companies, and encouraged individuals
to fake stock, wo conceive she is morally
bound, if not pledged, to aid them, pnrsnunt to
the recommendations of tho Macon Rail-Road
Convention.
and instrumental survey was accordingly made with
that object.
The result was an increase of hcelce miles, and as
the point of divergence from the Commissioners’
Creek line was above the most favorable portious of
that line, and the route thence to tlm mouth of Camp
Creek being through a very unfavorable country for
n rail-road, we should, in addition to die increase of
distance, exchange twenty mile* of eery favorable line,
for the same distance of very expensive, making nearly
the Wind.? distance from Muretr to the Oconee,
heavy and costly work.

To sum up the compari<on ofthe two routes, we
have in favor ofthe Commissioners’ Creek line,
1st. An advantage of 12 miles in distance.
2d. A difference of nearly Half a M illion of Dollais in
cost.
3d. An advantage o' a gentle and nearly uniform
grade down Commissioners’ Creek, while on the
other line we are obliged to undulato to the extent of
our maximum rate of inclination, for nearly the whole
distance.
4th. By taking the Camp Creek route, we should
violate a provision ofonr Charter, which requires
us to' pnisue '.tie shortest practicable route from S'aran-
ruth to Macon."

I have often been asked the question, “why do not

persons deeply interested in the success of the under

presumed they are uot aware of the difficulties atten

If our operations, which ore at present widely
extended, were so lar enlarged as to embrace any
portion ofthe farther extremity of the road, a separate

be supposed that it would be expedient to haul the
iron for the tracks in wagons, or even ship it rio
Darien for Mocou; such a course would add
to the cost without any equivalent benefit. By our
present arrangement, the iron and other materials,
as also most ofthe supplies to contractors are carried
forward by onr Locomotive Eugiues, an J the freight
and passage money collected, not only defrays the
expense of this transportation, but already nearly
pays tho expense of our mechanical establishment a"t
the Depot in this city.
The advantages of keeping up a communication
from this end of the line as we advance with the
work, and of finishing die work continuously, I am
persuaded will strike any one who will take the
trouble of reflecting on the subject.
Central Kail-Road.
A printed copy of the 44 Second Report of
the President and Engineer-in-Chief of the
Central Rail-Road and Banking Company,”
has been loaned ns.
The progress and prospects of the work, are
satisfactory in a high degree. We are happy
to learn it is getting along so well.
The President ofthe Company briefly sums
up the present condition and future prospects
of the work, as follows:
“ In July vs began to run the pnssenger cars regu
larly, aud have derived an income from transporta
tion. which, ns the Road is extended and put ill use,
is progressively increasing in amount. Some cotton
has been brought down, and we may with reason ex
pect to bring down, this season, on the Hoad, the
most of the cotton made in the Southern parts of the
Counties of Scriven, Burke, Jefferson, and some from
Washington. As has been usual elsewhere, as the
facilities of trade have been increased, there has been
a corresponding increase in the number of travellers.
Our most sanguine expectations hive been realized
on this subject; and from the very favorable feeling
now eutertained of our Road iu the interior, we may-
look the uext season, for a handsome return on our
investment."
Wo learn from the Engineer, that tho lower
route has been determined on, which will cross
the Oconee 16 to 18 miles below Millcdgeville.
On the subject of running by Millcdgeville,
the Engineer says:
' It was believed by many individuals of respectabil
ity, residing in Millcdgeville and its vicinity, that our
road might cross the Oconee River within a short
distance of tliat place, not only without any material
increase of distance, or cost, but with great advantage
to the interests of the company as well as benefit to
that section of country; and the Board of Directors
being desirous that an examination should be made
to ascertain whether any-advantage would result to
the company from such a location, an exploration

Milledgkvilk, Nov. 7,1838.
Yesterday, the following Preamble and Resolutions
were offered in the Senate, by Mr. Echols, of Walton
county; and by Col. Kelly, in the House:
Whereas, A connection between the General Govern
mint and corporate monied associations, the effect of
which is to make the movements of the former depen-
dant upon the operations ofthe latter, or, by an alli
ance between them, to create a combiud influence su
perior to tlte power of the people, is contrary to the
spirit, and at war with the character and institu
tions of our countty. And whereas, experience has
signally demonstrated the futility of such connection
for all good purposes, and recent circumstances have
fortunately dissolved it. And whereas, the advocates
ofniouied power have assumed such connection, and
the establishment of a Bank oftlie United States to lie
indispensable aids to the General Govemimytt ill its
fiscal operations. And whereas, the preservation of
the fabric ofour Government in its original sitnpli-
cityand purity/ is matter of paramount inportance,
and sWch simplicity and pnrity are best preserved by
the collection of the revenue by. and deposite of, !t
with officers selected by, and responsible to, the peo
ple, to be disbursed by them under proper legislative
restrictions, and if the revenue be so collected and dis
bursed without the agency of Banks, temptation to
raise a revenneout of the people beyond the actual
wants ofthe Government, is to a great extent removed.
And whereas, the sentiments of ute people of Georgia
on questions essentially involving the purity, per-
inaiiancy, and consequent wel|-bein h of our institu
tions should be soproclaimed as not to be niUnndet-
stood:
Be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Represen
tatives of the State of Ga. in Gen. Assembly met, and it is
hereby resale td by the authority of the same, That the re
commendation of the President of tho United States
to dispense with the agency of Batiks ill the collection
and keeping of the reveune, meets with our assent
and co-operation.
Be it further Resolved, by the authority aforesaid.
That the measure of separating the Government
from monied institutions, as embodied in the Indepen
dent Treasury Act submitted to Congress at its recent
session, is a measure truly republican, and can only
excite Ute opposition of those who are tho advocates
of a Bank ofthe United States and the friends of a
monied aristocracy.
Be it further Resolved, tfc. That the General Gov
ernment is able to conduct its fiscal operations with
out the agency of a Bank of tho United States, and to
create such an institution, with the immense powers
which nreelemanded for it by its frieuds would be to
construct a vast commercial and political machine
alien to our institutions, the very movements and
operations of which would destroy the genius and
annihilate the spirit, if it did not eulirely subvert the
form of republican government.
Be it further Resolved, Sfc. That we will rally around
and support the present administration of the General
Government In the effort it t« making to sustain the
cause ofthe people against the attacks of Bank mo
nopolists, by endenvoi'ng permanently to sever the
Government from the Banks.
Be it further Resolved, Sfc. That we war not with
our State institutionss so long ns they cominuu to
confine themselves to the objects for which they were
created, nnd arc content to revolve within their legiti
mate sphere,—that they are corporations created for
mere commercial purposes, and should notattempt to
grasp political power, which they roost assuredly do
when they seek to link themselves with the Govern
ment.
Be it further Resolved, bee. That a copy of tne previ
ous preamble nnd resolutions be forwarded by the
Governor of this State to each ofour Senators and
Representatives in Congress.

to learn how much money had been takeu in on that
