Mr Chanfrau, tha eccentric and very popular j

with a large audience, and his performance es- S

but the fame of the “original Mote” had prece- j
ded by several years, his visit to this city. Miss ;

Valentine’s Day.
l.adies and gentlemen will doubtless receive “ihe

Ur. Pickett and the llitvassee and Blue
Ridge Railroad Bill.
W e cheerfully insert a letter from Mr. Pickett,
member from Gilmer, defining his position, and ;
reporting his remarks in the House on ihe above j
bill. We do so from our respect for that gentle- ‘
man, and iu order that both sides may he heard. :
Having already presented our views iu opposition i
to his, we will not now resume the subject. W’e 1
will simply reply one word to his enquiry. “ Union
county has a Kaiiroad charter. My Gilmer) eoun- j
ty and the county below have railroad charters.
Why not let us build our roads from the main ■
trunk”? No objection in the world for all these j
counties to build roads to the main trunk if they
wish, or any of them wish to do so. But there is
uo justice in seeking to compel a county, to do so
against its wish, by refusing ii the privilege of
building to another road chartered bv the State,
which lies nearer to it than the .State Road.
The apprehension of loss of trade and travel over
our Georgia mads, which may result by the con
struction of the Hiwassee, we consider fanciful.
Even then Savannah will be forty miles nearer
to Chattanooga, by the State Road, than Charleston
would be by the new route. And were it not so,
it still cannot be doubted that there will be busi
ness enough for all the roads constructed, or likely
to be, for a generation to come at least. The pro
ductive power and resources of all that country.
anJ the immense regions beyond, are but begin
ning to be developed, and are beyond computation.
Railroads have never yet, at the South, kept pace
with the demand for facilities, and with the busi
ness pressing upon them. The railroad connec
tions and facilities between contiguous States ot
the South cannot be too great. These facilities an
and re-act for the mutual benefit of all. Trade can
not well go out of aState without bringing in return
a reciprocal trade of equivalent value.
The supply to its citizens of the amplest railroad
facilities to carry their produce out of the State,
mid return with what they get in return, should be
a leading policy of the State, especially when tin
citizens agree to furnish the money to build the
toad; or get their neighbors to do it for them. If
the people of other States are willing to bring their
money among us, and build road-- with it, we should
be much obliged to them. It is so much capital
expended among us, which we would otherwise
have to furnish from our own pockets.
The levy of tolls on the produce of other States,
passing through our own, is not the main object for
which railroads are or ought to be built or counte
nanced by the Siate. The stockholders have their
account iu this source of revenue, and the State of
Georgia, as the sole owner of our road, gets profit
from this. Hut it was not solely or mainly to be
a rich railroad proprietor Georgia went into the
railroad business. The main object was not to
make money for her treasury, but to promote the
interest of her own citizens, and enhance the value
and productiveness of their otherwise almost val
ueless and unproductive lands, iu the same view
she should encourage the building of other roads
by her citizens. If there were fifty railroads in the
State, even if they paid stockholders but the small
est modicum of dividends, or only paid expenses,
they would still be immensely promntive of the
prosperity, power and resources of the State, and a
very great blessing to all her citizens near enough
to make use of them
The State should pursue a more liberal and en
larged policy than simply or mainly to legislate
fi r the purpose of putting dividends in the pockets
of railroad stockholders, or into her own treasury.
It is not discrimination against existing railroad*
to prevent citizens having new roads by a nearer
lino to niaiket. li is discrimination against these
citizens to require them to build new roads by cir
cuitous routes to existing Roads.

Debate on the Kansas Bill.
Milleugville, Feb 1! is.y,
HOUSE.
The bill was introduced by Mr. Crook, of Chat
tooga, and its object is to aid in its settlement with
a slavery population, by an appropriation of *SO 000
from the Treasury of Georgia. '
A biJJ to promote the settlement of the terrilo
ne* ot the Lnited States.
It appropriates $50,0n,, in aid of Kansas emigra
tion, to be raised by a special tax on slaves, to be
led at the rate of *.»O to each grant.
Mr. Crook moved a suspension of the rides this
nioninm, in order to consider this bill; and open
wd the discussion with a few explanatory remarks.
Mr. Jones, ot Muscogee, moved to strike out the
feature requring the imposition of a special tax on
slaves, and defended his motion bv some observa
tions explanatory of the deleterious effect this fea
ture would exercise in arousing jealousies between
white and slave labor, and tiie incipience of a
species of Kansas excitement in Georgia; and lie
was, also, opposed to class legislation.
Mr. Crook, energetically repudiated any wish to
engender such jealousies or to legislate for classes.
Ilis chief reason for the insertion of the words
”on slates, was that, as they were the great ob
ject and cause of the act, they might be the ones
to act on the defensive, though be would not de
sire to let the burden of taxation rest on them, and
have them bear the responsibility. Another rea
son for his so doing, was to stop the palaver of
northern Abolitionists; as by assessing slave pro
perty, they could not sav to the southern white la
borers, the tax of slave labor falls on you. The
motion to strike out was carried.
Mr. Irwin, of Wilkes, considering that this was
a gratuitous donation, thought a majority of two
thirds was necessary to carry it. He characterized
the whole matter as improper and unsound, for re
cognising the truth and wisdom of noninterven
tion, it would be inconsistent to meddle with home
affairs of a distant State or Territory.
Mr. Lewis, of Hancock, proposed a substitute,
authorizing the investment of $1,000,000 in Kansas
lands, the money to be raised by the sale of State
bonds, and a Commissioner to be appointed to
purchase the lands. Lost.
Mr. Crook again strenuously supported the bill,
pleading the great necessity of some action on
his really important matter. The proper time
bad arrived for The acquisition of Kansas to the
ranks of slaveholding States; the tempting fruit
was lying before our eyes, ready for our grasp, and
ve must be laboring under a strong hallucination
to refuse the splendid prize. The speech abound
ed in fine patriotic sentiment, and glowing appeals
;o Southern interests and Southern principles!
Mr. Jones, of Muscogee, differed from the gen
tleman in his estimation of the character of this
fill. He did not consider it in the light of a do
nation—a gift. If this was to aid in the perpetua
tion of slavery, it was no donation. He did not
consider it necessary to prove that our interest and
he perpetuation of slavery were convertible terms,
>r that the birth of new Abolition States militated
against Southern weal. He denied the existence
it such a principle as non-intervention. Legal
•barters have been granted t<> Emigrant Aid Socie
ties, and thus indirectly countenanced intervention.
He was in favor ot making an open and bold man
ifestation of our intentions, by legislating in our
own Assemblies. These measures are self-protec
lve, and we have undisputed right to adopt am*
neans for our future safety, lie had been told
hat we had endorsed the non-intervention princi
ple. He admitted it, but asked non-intervention
>n the part of whom? Why, Congress, of course.
Congress does not, nor never did, possess the pow
er of interference in the settlement of territories,
and the establishment of their forms of govern
ment ; and wltv is this? Congress is our creature,
and consequently can exercise no power not ex
pressly accorded to it by us. Front us it received
its vitality and strength, and by us was it restrict
ed of the power of interference. But with a free
independent sovereign State, intervention is an in
.•tereiit right, whether by money, by the press, by
legislation or other just means,' in order to perpet
uate existing institutions, and all the Free-soil,
Abolition States, possess the same right. They
nave the same right to organize “Emigrant Aid
Societies” that we have, and we have the right to
epel force with force. The existence of slavery,
and the existence of the Union, are close!* connect
'd; when one falls the other follows it. "Domestic
-lavery, as it exists in the South, is a conservative
and preservative element. Look at the Free-soil
States. With what rapidity are they becoming in
corporated with anarchical and despotic elements.
Their Society is a liot-bed for the germination of
all kinds of extravagant insane “ isms.” Their
educated men are fanatics, and their ignorant, are
fanatics’ tools. Our Southern country is unpollu
ted by the wild disorderly scenes that are enacted
at the North. African Slavery is necessary to the
preservation of Republican principles. Sir, lam
a propagandist, and would not hesitate to plant
the “Black Flag,” as it has been sneoringlv term
ed, in the centre of Freesoil-dotn. Past history
proves the continued existence of slavery froth
time immemorial. If white men cannot have
tlack slaves, they will have white ones. The South
has her blacks, the North her whites. Let the
world pass judgment upon the condition of the
.wo. They are not to be compared. While the
South enjoys tile blessings of peace and tranquili
ty, the North trembles with the throes of tumultu
ous passion, and is threatened with ruin. And if
he gloomy prospect of disunion is realized, which
must take place, unless some miraculous, unfore
seen circumstance shall arise equal to the dread
emergency, the Black Flag will wave over New
Vork city, and will he welcomed as a substitute for
Diarchy and despotism, if, Sir, our wisdom ad
vises, and our interest demands an effort iu self-de
fence, who can better take the lead than Georgia
licit, prosperous, powerful, standing foremost
among the Southern States in her advocacy of a
correct policy for the whole Union let her lead the
van.
Mr. W ard, ot Butt* Sir, I do not approve of
his plan, and oppose it, because I am a friend to
Kansas. A wiser and more politic plan will be to
organize Emigrant Societies in every countv. A
fellow countryman of mine, some time ago, who
has been to Kansas, addressed the people of Butts,
and he recently returned with seventy true men.
No difficulty was experienced iu getting funds, or
men. This, Sir, is the proper plan to work out
your purposes. Trust in the noble sons of the
South, and their warmest wishes, and greatest ef
forts will not be wanting. Establish Aid Societies,
and appeal to the Southern feelings of true Geor
gians, and as the danger increases that necessitates
dux action, so will increase the efforts. Your men,
too, will be true men, upon whom you can depend,
ri.is, Sir, is the true plan, if you would succeed.
Mr. Thornton - of Muscogee: .Sir, mv efforts f.>r
Kansas will compare with the efforts fit uuv mem
ber on this floor. lam a member ot an Aid Socie
ty, and my whole influence has been used in the
vccomplisliment of its object. But, sir, I cannot
fullyendorse the sentiments of my colleague, that
such societies are morally right. I deny the right
j of Massachusetts to send her paupers and incendia
j ries to Kansas. If she has a right, it is the right
jof the mule to kick one over. I consider these so
i defies as wrong in principle, and not the legiti
1 mate children of Republican principles; but It is
necessary - to fight the devil with fire. Massaebu
: x ;tts commenced the battle, and my must tight to
conquer. Besides, sir, there is a wide difference
between State and individual enterprise. Suppose
Massachusetts should invest her surplus millions
in the colonization of a Territory , to be admitted
as a uon-slaveholding State, into the Union, iu the
existing state of affairs, i would willingly arm nn
self to aid in the redress of such an outrage. But
let Georgia pass this bill, anil 1 ask if we could
with consistency, even protest much less fight,
against such an act. Me set the precedent, they
but follow in our track. This rule, then, must
work both ways. If Massachusetts cannot, conso
nantly with right, enforce her institutions on the
j Territories, Georgia is similarly bound. The Tet -
ritories are our mutual property, are neither the
sole property of the one or the other. The grand
leading principle in the Georgia Platform of 1850,
is non-intervention intervention at the hazard oi
disruption. Such a contingency as the necessity
of the platform to keep Georgia front “laving oil
violent hands” yas never dreamed of'. Shall "we,
then, as Georgians, the constructors of this glorious
: fabric, sound enough to bear upon its broad, deep
surface, the whole Union, and upon which fifteen
i sovereign States already stand, be the first to strike
j the death blow ? I trust not, sir Let Georgia
j pass the bill, and her proud position will be lost—
! tier prestige gone. She would feel deep reproach
were she to yield her foremost position ; but how
much deeper would be ber shame, were she to
violate her honor, by repudiating this platform,
i Sir, 1 trust for the honor of the State, this bill will
• not pass.
Mr. ( rook: Mr. Speaker, the idea of executing
your project by private effort, is somewhat ehetneri
* cal. The original settlers of Kansas were pro
slavery men, and now a government has been es
tablished there, or attempted to be established,
which they despise and condemn. Massachusetts
has commenced the war of intervention bv flood
| ing Kansas with her creatures. Aye, sir,'already
1 has the reckless spirit of Abolitionism been turned
upon the sacred pillars of the Georgia Platform.
They tremble ’ueath the sacriligious touch, yet
those who rest their security on this Platform are
unconscious of the trembling; no warning is given ,
of approaching danger. 1 consider, so. that the
time lias come when action is necessary, when re
‘ sistanco i» a defensive measure. Let Georgia pass
this bill, and ieact the way, and fourteen sister I
States will support her m her onward course—in
a short time nearly a million dollars will be raised
for the defence* of our dearest rights and our 1
: homes,
I Mr. Harris, of Fulton: Mr. Speaker, while I
j sanction the noble sentiments of the gentleman :
1 just preceding me, 1 <fo not agree with Jus jutig.
merit No one can advocate Southern rights, as
warmly and boldly as he has done, without exci
ting a thrilling response m my bosom, r honor
his intentions, but disapprove his policy. Si r the
object < t this bill u to make the State of Georgia
a great Colonization Society,” intent upon forcing
<-ur political institutions upon a Territory, the i
common property of the whole Union. ! advocate
the establishment of private, monied and physical
enterprises, for the perpetuation of our Southern
Institutions; but the principles laid down in
this bill, 1 consider, as radically non-conser
vative, and pernicious. 1 admit there is a j
•‘Sort!i raging about us but let us be calm and self- !
possessed, aud have perfect control of our ship. We
want no buncombe speeches on clap-trap ha- j
rangues. Let it- bring ibis measure to the test of
sound dispassionate statesmanship. What is the
object of the bill ? “to promote the settlement of
the territories of the United States.” This is un- -
precedented in the history of our State. Georgia,
in her sovereign capacity, is to embark in the gen
eral colonization scheme. Allowing that this is
lawful, and just, and proper, is it prudent and po
litic, to send forth the bone and sinew, the muscles ;
of the country, the bulwarks of our liberty, the pil- j
lars of safety and security to our wives and mo- I
titers, the vitality and life of Georgia, to permanent- j
!v locate in a distant land ? Is It good policy to >
depopulate the country? Anotherurgument urged I
by the supporters of this bill is, that the poor and
destitute of Georgia are sent where they can make
fortunes. Why do we wish to ship off our poor?
J.et the legislature of our State show a constdera- i
tion and care for her needy. Give them sym- j
path v at home. They are as capable of devotion j
to the interests of the State as anv, and will stand
by you in danger. Sir, my postion is one which may j
be looked upon with suspicion, but consciousness i
of right nerves me to its support. In the settle- l
tnent of new territories, slave labor depreciates |
fr ee labor ; and the larger the number of laborers, |
the less will be the wages. Applying these truths j
to Kansas, we see that every man there who owns I
no slaves, has two reasons for opposition to their
introduction; and more forcibly will they be felt
by the destitute we send there. Our object in
sending them there being, to prepare the wav to
introduce slaves. I here disclaim* all imputations
on the poor man, for I am the poor man’s friend.
But, Mr. Speaker, what is Georgia called upon
to do, in this bill ? To enter, sir, into a contest with
Massachusetts, who is sending forth her paupers
and beggars to Kansas, in a body. Can we main
tain the contest ? Would it not he stooping, for
us to do so? Massachusetts is pouring out and
relieving herself of her corruption. Georgia is
parting with her very life-blood. Gentlemen have al
luded to threatenin'’ dangers that are about to rise,
thick and heavy from the dark future. 1 feel the
truth ot their gloomv forebodings; the Union L
at danger. Is this tiie time for depopulating our
laud v Ac, sir. If our people need sustenance, :
! wrench and tear off the Treason doors, and let j
the tide flow out. Give them labor in works of 1
internal improvement. 1 never shall advocate any j
| measure that contemplates the depopulation of j
Georgia. If our destitute wish to try their fortunes j
: on the rich, fertile soil of Kansas, 1 ant willing to j
aid them by private donation ; hut this bill, a bill j
hiring them to leave the homes of their childhoods, ;
and the graves of their parents, 1 shall oppose. If I
yon pass litis, you open the way for Massachusetts ;
to adopt a similar policy.
Sir. it does not become me to approach that tem
ple where lie enshrined the ashers of Calhoun, ret
1 can gaze at the monument that er ramemorates
bis greatness. The South is beginning to discern
his worth. He laid down the great principle, that
concurrent majorities obviate and counterbalance
numerical majorities. He was treated with deris
ion, and he would have done, by an equitable ad
justment of powers, what you would do bv viola
tion of existing agreements. By consult iug'the pro
ceedings of our Congress, toarecent period, you will
find that the American Union totters to its fall. Who
is there that, like Sampson, would precipitate to the
dust the noble structure ? Our policy should be
eminently self-strengthening, by the" encourage
ment of'everything capable of improvement,'bv
j schemes of education, internal improvement, &c.
; A few days ago I urged this course, > u to no pur
! pose. Now vou tear down the rump trt* of your
State by sending off your population. Sir, the
times arc gloomy . Empires, Kingdoms and I’ritt
cipalities arc falling in rapid succession.
" How little do we know that, which we are!
How less wliat we shall be. The Eternal surge
Os time and tide rolls on, and bears afar
Our bubbles; as the old burst, new emerge
Lushed from the foam of ages—
While the graves of empire heave.
But its a passing wave."
Let us be calm, und wise ns a “serpent but treit-
I tie as a dove.”
Mr. Smith, of Union I confess-Mr. Speaker, 1
have been disappointed in my expectation, of not
hearing one iitili-Kmisas speech, on this floor. The
gentleman from Fulton, sir, is opposed to eruigra
! tion, as our country will be depopulated. If this is
j true now, it was years ago. Where would Texas
jbeif it were not for emigration? The doctrine of
I anti-emigration was not in vogue then. Our
! fathers beheld the rich, smiling, waving lands
j which stretch out to the Pacific ocean, and thev
I went hither, and made them their own. I ant iit
favor of this bill, of securing Kansas to ourselves.
It is a pearl of great price, and it is only necessary
for us to stretch forth our hands to obtain it. 1
; am surprised at the avowal of Mr. Harris’s senti
j merits, that slave labor is antagonistic to free labor.
' Is not this the argument of the Northern Aboli
| tionists? If this assertion is true, then, in order
to advance the interests ot'bet citizens, Georgia
j should abolish slavery.
Mr. II wntis Didn’t you understand Mr. White,
the Kansas lecturer, to say that many emigrants
from Tennessee and some from Gordon countv,
! hud turned against slavery after going there?
j Mr. Smith 1 did hear it, and with deep mortifi
! cation. But the gentleman does not mean this as
: an argument; that eighty out of every eiglitv-nine
emigrants will prove traitorous to our cause. If
so, I deny that such is the truth. Such a charge
, would be a slander upon the honesty and truthful
ness of the South. But to return to the argument
of slave labor versus free labor. Is it so iu Eng
; land ? In England laborers earn front *l6 to sfs
per month; undin New York the wages are less
than they are in the South, for the same work.
Mr. Harris —Tile gentleman misunderstands iny
j position. lam applying the principles to new ter
-1 ritories. Slave labor is only profitable where it is
continuously employed.
Mr. Smith—ls the gentleman means to intimate
that slave labor is not profitable in Kansas, he is
i mistaken. Hemp hands get more than the cotton
| hands of the South. 1 hope, Sir, that this false
j idea of slave labor, as opposed to free labor, will not
induce us to give up that magnificent territory.
| But, Sir, it has been asserted this bill proposes’a
! crusade. I deny it. It simply proposes to meet
force with force. lam in favor of the bill, and if
| my county should refuse to bear her part in the
expense, I will bear it for her. In conclusion, 1
would say, let us sustain the gallant State of Mi*,
sottri. She is battling for the South and Southern
! institutions. Men can be obtained to send to Cu
ba, to Texas, and when a sister State is bravely
: contending lot our right*, we should breast the
; storm with her, even ii' we do it alone.

or Gentleman would remain under the curse of a
disagreeable breath when, by using the “ BALM
OF A THOUSAND FLOWERS” as a dentritice,
would not only render it sweet, but leave the teeth
white as alabaster? Many persons do not know
their breath is bad, and the subject is so delicate
■ their friends will never mention it. Pour a single
: drop of the “ Balm ” on your tooth-brush, and
wash the teeth night and morning. A fifty cent,
i bottle will last a year.
A Bkaututl, ( 'ompi.kxiox may easily be acquired
by using the " Hahn of a Thousand Flowers." It
will remove tan, jiitn/pU# and freckles from the skin,
leaving it of a soft and roseate hue. Wet a towel,
pour on two or three drops, and wash the face night
and morning.
Shavinc Mark Easy.- -Wet vour shaving-brush
in either warm or cold water, pour on two or three
drops of the “ Hahn of a Thousmul Flower*," rub
