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. *• Votes from the Slaves State*.” Horace GueelEv, iu a. recent letter, from Wash ington City, to the New York Tribune, in reference to the Admission of Mr. Reeder hr a Delegate from the Territory of Kansas, ami of course the ex pulsion of Mr. Whitfield, counsels his Free Soil friend* to take a decided stand, at an early day, for Mr Reeder, says: “Let them take hold resolutely, and the sword of the destroying angel can yet be stayed; for these will be several v-tes from the Slaver States in favor of the sol ely oppressed set tler* whom thov induced to put their trust in Squat ter Sovereignty.’' Now , it is certain that Mr Urkli.st caanot refer to any of those who voted for Mr. Hank's, for there were no “votes from Slave States” directly in fa vor of him. lie must allude to those “national Americans" who supported Mr. Cdllom for Clerk He may be right in his conjectures, for the man who could vote tor Mr Cullo.v, is abundantly pre pared to vote to expel Mr. Whiiukld We shall see Time w orks wonders.

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.
