Carried, message from the Governor, containing a let ter from Mr. ( * >hkk. Superintendent of the State roid. explaining the -.ale of the old iron on said ;.. 1. This i-i an explanation and justification of itirse ol Mr. Cooper, and a defence against barge of corruption made against the Governor timiself for not s-lling theoTd iron for the high \ \ Mr. Fambro, of Upson, sometime since inn-. •. i ••••! .t set of resolutions, requiring an inves tigation in order to see if the Governor and Super intendent were guilty of fraud, in selling the old ■ran Mr le.-s money than could have been obtained ;,r it, thus showing favoritism. The iron had I t,« n ?ud to the Girard and Mobile Railroad, for f__ " per ton. when Bfo had been offered by the Burnsville and Thomaston Railroad. The Govern -,vas insti i-ted to get a'full report of the whole 1 matter from Mr. Cooper. This is the report. In this, there is a letter from Major John Howard, of Columbus, who acted as the Agent of the Girard 1 j : .d Mobile Railroad Company, stating that he had nght the iron fairly and legally, and disclaimed 1 the fact of there having been any agreement be- , [ :n -a himself and Mr. Cooper that was not open and iust. He also enclosed a letter received from Mr. Famulo, offering to hush and kill the charge : fraud, if he could share the plunder, thus plac- Ur. Fambro in a rather precarious position. ' Tr m was also a letter from Mr. Cooper stating that he had taken advantage of the highest bid i.ade at the time, and sold the iron. He was not of there being a higher bid than the one ..G? by the Girard and Mobile Railroad t'ompa- Mr. Fa mbro arose and said he had a letter in fcU possession front Mr. Cooper, acknowledging the Mr. Cooper i was aware of the bid of the Burnsville and Thoniaston Railroad Company, but lud are: looked and forgotten it. The report was . .n the table for the present. Some six months ..»us. the Barnsville and Thoniaston Railroad i eapanv did offer to buy the iron, but the bid not ,rg renewed, and the work on the road being '• do intituled, it was uncertain whether they held .1 j. their bid. During the time the bids were being -. ."ived, there were bids of sl6 and S2O, and these bids were made by Agents in the employ of this rail el company ; and, moreover, the bid of s+o was made several days after the sale was closed, and Mr. F vma no was aware of this when he offered th ivvilutioti requiring an investigation of this matte;, in irder to fix if possible the stigma of fraud upon the Governor and Mr. Cooper. Hence, iauiering all the facts stated, the letter, and the a . m upon this matter, we are compelled to say : is« ‘bogus concern,” got tip to serve party pur poses. and as such should receive the condemna tion of all.

Nothing was re needed In- Union county than a Railroad, and they proposed to build it themselves, inde • b'it of all State aid, was it right that the i.e iaiature should legally incapacitate them for do .is they desired.

I he New A ork Tribune, on the 22d ult., publish <d a letter from „orv R. Pulton, of the third | District of New York, to his constituents. not I orignally intended for the public eye, but published at the solicitation of friends. Mr. Pki.to.v defends j hi-, vote for Banks, not so much on the ground that Banks is a Republican, as that he is a sworn member of the Order of Know Nothings, of which Pelton himself is a professing and persecuting leader. We quote a passage from Mr. Felton’s letter defining Mr. Bank’s position : It was finally discovered that men of all parties j who were opposed to the breaking up of the Mis- j sottri Compromise line and opposed to the Admin istration, must unite upon some one who would represent the anti-Nebraska and American seuti j rm-nt of the House. I in turn voted for Fuller, j Campbell, of Ohio, and Pennington. After 1 had learned that Fuller wholly abandoned the anti- Nebraska platform upon which he wan elected, and i held the identical position es Richardson k Co., , i* l regard to the issue before us, I felt that 1 had" unwittingly voted for one who could not be en- : • bused by any Northern man, and then voted for i Pennington until it became evident that the only man whom we could elect was X. P. Banks. Every Northern man, with some six or eight humiliating '' exceptions, thought and did as I did; and we have j not vet any good reason presented to us for acting differently. Mr. Banks, if his position and principles were well known, certain! v cannot be objectionable to any American north of the slave ry limits. He is a firm anti-Nebraska man, and as firm an American and more eminently fitted to discharge the duties of Speaker, than any officer on the floor of the House. If, through newspaper misrepresentations or otherwise, any friend of mine has conceived for one moment that he is an Abolitionist or ultra anti-Slaverv in his view s, let me assure him that no man ever more misjudged. ; 1 He is conservative in his views, and should he be I • levied, his administration as Speaker will be con- -1 ducted in a manner that will justify- our votes and ! satisfy all parties (except those who regard the j extension of slavery as the sole object of Federal ; legislation - that a better Speaker for the emergen- j ey could not have been named. The Councils i should not forget that it was Banks who so gal- I I lautly led the American forces in the last Congress, ! y and that during the late canvass in Massachusetts t he proclaimed and defended himself as an anti-Ne braska American, lb is now a member of the “Or in (food standing at home. This much for his Americanism. From th< Washington Union. The Triumph of Sectionalism—The Is sue Made Up. The joy which pervades the black Republican ranks upon the election of Mr. Banks, has no bounds, file luot that he was elected without the help of solitary vote cast for him on any ballot by a southern member, is dwelt upon bv his exalting friends with peculiar satisfaction. This fact is re garded by them as the consummation of the inau guration of the Republican parti - on purely sec i tional grounds. It was their anxiety to effect this object which induced the leaders to insist so perti naciously upon the election of Mr. Banks. He was chosen by them as the personification and em bodiment of sectionalism, and upon his triumph they resolved to stake the very existence of their party, fhis explains the fact so often commented upon in connection with the undisguised exertions "f Greeley, W eed, and Webb, as outside overseers aud whippers-in. They resolved to have Banks for Speaker, and upon his election they determined to go into the presidential contest as a purely section al party. M e consider the issue as now made up. It is to be a contest between nationalism, represented by the Democratic party, and sectionalism represent ed by tiie Republican party. The fate of the Union is involved in the result. If Democracy triumphs, Abolitionism will he prostrated forever; if Black Republicanism triumphs, tiie days of the Union are numbered. We state the issue thus distinctly, that every inau may now take his position with full notice of the momentous consequences involv ed. With deep regret we make the announcement, hut as the issue had to be met, we must say, with all frankness, that we think no better time could he selected for its decision than the present. The national men of the N'ortli, as well us the South, are ready for the conflict. In this great fight, the friends of the Union will rally utider the Demo- i cratic banner. In such a conflict there can be no i neutrals—let it be distinctly written on our flag, iUse who are not for us an against its. The attempt, under existing circumstances, to run a third candi date upon any subordinate questions connected with the naturalization laws, cannot fail to inure to the benefit of Black Republicanism. We make the- declaration with emphasis, because it will henceforth be the duty of every truly national man to regard and treat as enemies all who refuse to contribute to the election by the people of the na tional standard bearer in the presidential contest. Tim Speakership. -The New York ’Tribune, of! course, is in exstaeies over the election of Mr. j Banks. It declares it never despaired of such a | a triumph, and continues : “ We did not believe, although we arc ready to . believe almost anything of Northern doughfaces, ! that men chosen to represent the anti-Nebraska j sentiment of the North, could quite swallow not ; only a Nebraska mau, but a South Carolina No- ! braska man, and not only a slaveholder, but a j oholder ow ning a thousand sla\ es. We choked at this, and it seems others who had votes to give ; choked at it also. Mr. Aiken could not he sw al lowed. Va e will hope there is good in the omen; and we will hope, too, there is an omen of good in tiie election of Mr. Banks. It lias thus far turned out that the Speaker who is in office at the Presi dential election has always been of the same poli tics as the successful candidate for that high office. If there is to he an exception at the next election it will he the first.” The Tribune then goes on to hope that the peo ple of Kansas will now have justice done them, and adds: “ It would seem that ns there were chivalric men from the South who dared do right on the Nebras ka question, so there must be others from that quarter who will dare do justice to Kansas. We look for such men especially among the members from Tennessee, Kentucky and Maryland.” The New York Post, another freesoil journal, also rejoices at the success of Banks. We quote; *• No tidings of so grateful a character, so full of auspicious promise for the future, have reached us from Washington for years, as the news of Mr. Bank’s election as Speaker of the House. Me congratulate the whole country, North and South, on this result of a long and uncertain struggle be tween the party of freedom and that of slavery, j between the representatives of tiie people and the representatives of a class.” Something in the Wind. l * Had we in all our State and National conven- lions ignored slavery as well as other sectional ■ questions, and kept •paramount the great distin guishing principles of the American party, to-dav we would have stood upon an immovable rock.'’ NaslivilU Gazett.ee. ; •'such language coming from the Know Nothing ; organ ot the Sir,to is suggestive of reflection. The 1 Gazette is tor ignoring the slavery question -in , other words, is down on the section,” theonlv i thing which thejKnow Nothings so recently glon- | ' tied as the only true ground upon which Southern \ men could stand. The Gazette man takes the Botts view lie also ignore* “other sectional questions,” and what are they? The Fugitive ' lae■ Laic is a sectional question, and that is ignored. The resto- j ration of the J hsouri Compromise is sectional-- ! and that \s ignored. '1 lie Kansas-Nebraska acts are sectional questions -and these are ignored, and in fact they ignore every principle upon which a par- j tv can be organized. Had they ignored so and so, they “would have stood upon an immovable rock” —ait acknowledgment that they do not so stand— a conclusion to which other men arrived long ago.

JEFFERSON ROBERTS, Adm’r. febs 2am4m THE CRITERION; A LITKHAItY AND CRITICAL WKBKLT JOURNAL, IP Page*, 4 to, WKTAS commenced on the third of November, w w 1855, and has thus far received very gen eral approbation. Anxious to extend its influence, j and place it upon a substantial basis of support, i the Publisher desires most earnestly to direct the attention of the thinking public of America to its claims upon their consideration. The main feature of the CRITERION is its AY i-iews of Current Literature. In this department are given thorough and able criticisms of all the tuo.-t important books as they are issued, pointing • out their chief characteristics, and indicating their moral tendencies, thus keeping its readers inform ed of all new publications which deserve their at tention. IT VLSI} CONTAINS Copious Intelligence of Affairs in the Literary World ; Gossip concerning Books and Writers*; Announcements of contemplated Publications; and Lists of New Books issued in America mid Europe. The Drama, Music, Fine Arts and Science, also receive attention, and several columns of carefully selected anil agreeable matter are given in each number. Iu addition to the above .there is a de partment of Miscellanea for reading, of an enter taining character, carefully selected from new books and the ablest reviews, and a weekly collection of Notes and Queries, which contains a groat variety of curious and valuable information. It is confidently believed that a journal such as the CRITERION, cannot fail to have a good effect upon our national literature, and to some extent upon our national character. It will be found es pecially valuable in directing the attention of youth to works of real excellence, and encouraging an appreciation for valuable reading, which is being : rapidly destroyed bv the circulation of superficial and sophistical books. To the reading man the ; literary intelligence alone must render it very de sirable; and to all who wish to promote an im ; provemetil in taste, the encouragement of merit, and an uncompromising condemnation of vicious style, mock sentiment, and evil principles, such an i enterprise canuot • at least, should not—bo iudif- 1 lerent. To members of Historical, Litkkarv and Scikn | tific Societies, Lyceums and Debating Clubs, the subjects discussed in this paper will, at all times, prove of peculiar interest, and it is the de sign of the editors to thoroughly canvass, from time to time, those important philosophical ques tions which agitate all inquiring minds, correcting false theories, and encouraging profitable investi ■ gatiou. The CRITERION is published at s•'! >er annum, payable yearly, half yearly, or quarterly, in ad vance. Specimen copies supplied, on application to the Publisher CHARLES It.
