Mn.i.Knor.viLLK, 11th Feb., 1856.
Mr. Gardner sir: I see in the daily
ComUUutionaliet, of !he 9th and 10th instant, which
t w<w handed me to-day, a report purporting to be
the position taken by mvaelf and others, for aud
against the Hiuassee Railroad Bill. Your reporter
erred in stating iny position, and in using language
l never used. ] opposed the bill from the begin
ning. First, I moved the indefinite postponement
of the hill, and stated, as a reason for so doing,
that the passage of the hill would he injurious to
the State of Georgia. 1 then went on to show that
•some time between 1830 and 1835, there was a con
vention of six or seven States, to wit: South Caro
lina, North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Ken
tucky and Ohio, assembled at Knoxville, in the
State ot 1 ennessee, for the purpose of constructing
a railroad from some point on the Atlantic coast,
south of the Alleghany Mountains, to Cincinnati,
Ohio. \\ hen the convention met, Charleston was
tae starting point insisted upon by the convention,
and the road to cross the Blue Ridge and Alle
ghany Mountains, east of the State of Georgia,
tlien to Cincinnati, Ohio; then the Georgia dele
gation, as 1 had understood, withdrew front the
convention, held a meeting of their own, and ad
journed to meet in the city of Macon, and State of
Georgia. There it was that the magnificent plan
was adopted to construct the railroads from Augusta
to Atlanta, and from Savannah to Macon, and front
Macon to Atlanta, and from Atlanta northwest
through the wilderness of the Cherokee country,
to the Tennessee State line, and that this magnifi
cent plan was carried out by the Legislators of the
State of Georgia, and by the industry of the people
of our own State, they had built their own road.
With their own labor and capital, the State of
Georgia had built the Western and Atlantic Rail
toad ; and now these roads are built, and the pro
duce of the great valley of the West is running
down its natural channel to the Atlantic ports,
south of the Alleghany Mountains, in search of n
highway to foreign markets. Then it was that 1
said Georgia occupies a gap between the Atlantic
and the spurs of the Alleghany Mountains; that
she had the key to unlock the commerce of the
West, and bring down upon the Atlantic coast the
rich produce of the West. The geography of the
State was the guide that directed our patriotic an
cestors to engage se extensively in railroad enter
prise. lu the meantime, South Carolina and the
Cincinnati people got their railroad charter, with
their hanking privilege, and surveyed almost even
gap across the Blue Ridge, from Georgia almost to
Virginia, but all in vain. She could not find a gap
through which she could pass until 1850. The
Legislature of Georgia granted a charter to the
county of Rabun, which connected the South Caro
lina Railroad with the North Carolina and Tonnes
-ci- Railroad, to Knoxville. South Carolina has
appropriated one million of dollars to the building
ot’that road, and passed a hill to loan her bonds
to the Companv for one million and a half more,
making two million and a half dollars to the build
ing of the road front Anderson, through Pickens
bv Rabun, and on to Knoxville. Then it was 1
said, now, Mr. Speaker, if the charter is granted,
the road from Clayton to Knoxville will not be
built. Instead of going north to Knoxville, under
the old charter, the bill now upon your table pro
poses to go west to the Copper Mines, and front
the Copper Mines, there is a charter to Cleveland ;
this road would he west front the mines to Cleve
land, and would strike the lliwassee Railroad in
Tennessee, eighty or one hundred miles south of
Knoxville, and near the head of the Western ami
Atlantic Railroad ; and a little further west, this
link of road would tap the Western and Atlantic
Railroad at Chattanooga; by the passage of that
bill, you give a direct line from Nashville through
Ciiiott and Rabun, to Charleston. The building of
the road would not be by the people of Union
countv, nor not for their special benefit; but it
would be for the benefit of a Northern State and
Northern Yankees, who have taken stock in the
road. The granting of that charter would be dis
criminating against the State of Georgia and
against the people. Between the Western and At
lantic Railroad and the Georgia Railroad, and the
mountains, the granting of that charter would vir
tually be a repeal of all the charters between the
line of road, and the chain contemplated by the
hill, i ask, in all candor, is it right to diserimi- ,
natc against our own people, and in favor of a j
Northern Slate and a Northern Company? My rule
is to legislate so as to do the greatest good to the i ]
greatest number. Union county has a railroad j ,
charter, northeastern Georgia has a charter, my |
countv and the counties below, have railroad char- | ,
tors. Why not let us build our road from the main I (
trunk? Why discriminate against us? Why dis- ,
criminate against the State of Georgia? lam for j (
free trade and equal rights. We tender to Tonnes- j ,
see and South Carolina the facility for trade and i
commerce through our State; but we want to he , ‘ t
recipients of that trade. If the bill pusses, all the r
trade that passes down the Western and Atlantic t
Railroad, for the South Carolina or Charleston j
markets, w ould he a loss to the State; near half
of the produce from Chattanooga would be driven 3
off upon tViis road, to the injury of our own State. n
Sir, !am opposed to the hill ; it is wrong in prin- ;
ecpie. It never shall be said to me, or my offspring, (
that 1 sold my birthright for a mess of pottage. •
When the time comes that we witness the injury (i
inflicted bv the passage of the bill; w hen you turn
to the Journals to see who done it, if my head is
beneath the turf, 1 want ray vote to stand recorded t
against the bill. If I stand alone to-dav upon this „
question, I will stand erect, conscious that I have j
discharged my duty as a Representative. It does s
seem to me, that a large majority is against me. 1 \
ask gentlemen to look close into this matter. 1 t
intend to oppose the bill at every point. lam a
Georgian in principle ; l am a Georgian in interest.
lam for my people and mv State first, then lam i
for my neighboring State. If the bill was for the
purpose of giving only to Union county railroad '
facility, there is not a man here that would oppose 1
it. This road, it built, would not carry off the , 1
trade or the produce of Georgia soil, except a por- 1
tion from Union ; but, sir, it would he the great
thoroughfare from Charleston via Rabun Gap, J
through Union to Nashville and Memphis. Union
county i> only used as an excuse to build this main '
trunk, which would come in competition with our
section of railroads from the Atlantic through our >
State to Chattanooga, then to Nashville and to
Memphis. This bill, if passed, would divide the 1
trade and freight at the head of your own road
between Charleston and Savannah. 1 desire to
sev the road built from the Rabun Gap to Knox
ville, anu from Knoxville to Cincinnati, Ohio.
That would bring down into Georgia and South
Carolina, the trade from La*; Tennessee, Kentucky
and Ohio. Through the Rabun Gao, t«.e Uorth
past Railroad and the South Carolina Railroad

The motion to postpone indefinitely, was lost.

Retaliation - V Rightful Reined) - \
Constitutional Measure of Redress.
The question of the rightfulness and constitu
tionality of retaliation as between State and State
of this confederacy, is now before Virginia. Re
taliation is a i'ighful remedy and a constitutional
measure of redress. It is not only a rightful, hut
is the right remedy for the South. Not that we
want the goods of the Yankees, hut that seizing
their property touches them on the tender pome
The South wants her rights, and no more. She
does not want the goods, wares and merchandise
of the North, except for an adequate compensation;
but *he means to obtain her right* and the redress
of he wrong*, by the exaction of value for value, if
she cannot obtain it by argument.
She will proceed upon the doctrine of '9*, that
each jKirly to the federal comioct ha* mi equal right
to judge for itxdt , a* well as of in fractions as of tin
nuxlc and measure of redress ; and she will exercise
her right of redress, in the mode she may deem
suited to the emergency, as a constitutional and
legitimate, anti not as a rebellious or recolutionury
resort. It is a fallacy to suppose that all measures
of defence and resistanr. are unconstitutional which
are not enumerated in that instrument. It is a
compact between *•».-,uvi'yc States, clearly express
ing all the stipulations which create their mutual
rights; but, irotu its very nature, containing no
enumeration of,. medi. -for the wrongs tbat’may be
committed by Slate against State, or section
against section. Os these remedies for these
graver wrongs the State- themselves are the sole
judges, and the ( •nstitution is not the schedule.
When one State, or set of States, violate a right
conferred upon another, by the Constitution, the
remedy is to be sought, not in the Constitution, but
in those powers appertaining to sovereign States,
which were reserved by them to be exercised ae- ;
cording its they might deem necessary and expedi
ent. For wrongs committed by or upon individ
uals, within federal jurisdiction, the federal courts
supply the requisites and proper redress. But for
the redress of wrongs of State against State and
section against section, there are no regular pro
cesses or established tribunals; for the States
themselves are the sole judges of the mode and
measures of redressing them.
It is a fallacy to suppose that the right of redress
appertaining to the States as sovereign powers, is
only the single and extreme right of s<y-ssion.
Ihe doctrine of :'s is much broader than t:; s. It
not only asserts the ultimate right of seceding from
and abandoning the Union for just cause, but it
asserts also the mediate right of adopting such i
measures, while remaining in the Union, as the
State may deem necessary and proper, to procure
redress or prevent the necessity of the ultimate
resort.
It follows, front these principles, that there is no
limit to the discretion of the State in devising
remedies for the wrongs indicted by its associates,
and that those remedies tnav he resorted to with
out reference to the limitations of the Constitution.
If the aggression which the State would resist oi
punish is in express violation of the Constitution
that instrument is no restriction upon it in devis
ing the most efficacious remedy ; the State itself
being the sole and arbitrary judge of the “ mode
and measure” of redress. The wrong it suffers
mav be unconstitutional, hut the remedy requisite
and necessary for redress cannot be uncoiistitution
al. No measure of retaliation, which the State tnay
deem necessary and proper, for the redress of un
constitutional wrong, can itself he unconstitution
al, though . he precisely of the same nature as the
aggress: n.
The in .iic ; :i', taw Renounce.* murder as a felo
ny, and i.i:.!.. • hanging ibe punishment. But yet
it admits q • - 5 1 1 of killing in self-de
fence. Ti. ■ runs through the whole
system of 1 • , „ml, .T course, is inherent
in our federal constitute:. That is felonious in
acts of aggro..-O'i; win. law respects as a sa
cred. inalienable right m acts of defence. Fools
ami families have looked to World’s Peace Socie
ties as the ull-suffieienf arbiters between nations
and sovereign States; but until these provide a
preventive ot aggression, the right of self-defence
must continue to he respected as a sacred, inalien
able right of sovereign States menaced with ag
gression.
This sacred right is not restricted in the case ot
States as it is in the case of individuals. For all
minor offences against the individual, redress is
provided him by law in the courts of justice.
Against all injuries short of injuries to his person,
the municipal courts afford him a sufficient protec
tion. His right of self-defence is only allowed in
cases of imminent danger of life or limb.
But, as between sovereign States, the right of
retaliation stands in lieu of the individual's re
course to the judicial tribunals for minor injuries;
just as the right of War stands them in lieu of the
individual’s right of killing in self-defense. From
the nature of the ease, there can he no tribunal
clothed with authority to compel the redress of
wrong as between sovereign States, and these are
obliged to he left the solo and arbitrary judges of
the mode and measure of redressing their wrongs,
that being an attribute of sovereignty. Our fede
ral Constitution is a compact between Sovercie/n
States, and, as such, is only a schedule of stipula
tions in the nature of contract, creating mutual
rights, but, of course, prescribing no redress for
their violation, aud providing no means of enforc
ing them, it stands to the confederate States pre
ciseL in the relation in which the Law of Nations
stands to nations at large. It. clearly defines the
duties and obligations obtaining between States;
but, of course, provides no “saniiions” to enforce 1
them; and i* destitute of those “ vindicatory ” pro
visions which Blaekstmic declares to be “the prin
cipal obligation of human l.nvs.”
Os all the parts of law the most effectual ts the
vindicatory. For it is hut lost labor to say, “do
this, or avoid that,” unless we also declare, “this
shall he the consequence of your non-compliance.”
We must, therefore, observ • that the main strength
and force of a law consists in the penalty annexed
to it. Herein is to he found the principal obliga
tion of human laws."
It is precisely this penalty for violation of its
provisions, in which ihe federal Constitution- as
a compact between sovereign States is necessarily
wanting. It follows that the whole subject of re
dress belongs to the sovereign State.-, as among
their reserved rights. It is somewhere; for then
can be no rights without adequate redress for
wrongs —it is not surrendered in the federal com
pact —it, is therefore inherently and constitutional
ly with the States. And the only limitation upon
the States, in devising remedies for aggression is,
that these must in their judgment be neassary and
proper for the exaction of redress. If retaliation
will suffice, they may retaliate. If more violent re
course be requisite, that, too, is constitutional
The reason and logic which sustain these con
elusions, are continued and supported bv the prac
tical consideration, that the State which perpe
trates unconstitutional wrong, is, ipso facto, beyond
the pale of the Constitution—is virtually out of the
Union —is estopped from pleading the Constitu
tion against the redressive measures of the injured
Mate and mav be dealt with us an alien and stran
ger to the fvderai cotrp vi. Massachusetts, by her
“personal liberty act," for instance. Is virtually out
of the Union, is a stranger to the Constitution
which it. has set at defiance, and may be legally
retaliated upon by measures apparently in the
teeth oi Uii, Constitution which it has abrogated.
It would be strange)! Mie could invoke the protec
tion of a Constitution which she has, wantonly
spurned ami spit upon.
We are not, therefore, embarrassed by any con
stitutional scruples on lids subject. Retaliation is
a emuttitutieaui! j-.-medv and the State of Virginia
is the sole judge of the mode and measure of it
as it respects herself. If Pennsylvania imprisons
our citizeps for attempting the recovery of their
property within her jurisdiction, Virginia piav
lav imposts upon her commerce, seize her ships,
aiid retaliate upon her in whatever manner and
degree sin mav deem expedient, in her sovereign
discretion. It is her right inherently ; it is her
right mo rail v ; it is her right constitutionally to
retaliate; and sink or swim, survive or perish the
Union, we wo for the most efficacious and summary
measures id letaiiapon

The Parsons Kill.
.\ novel and remarkable bill has just been intro
duced into the House of Delegates, by its slow
coach Committee on Retaliation. The bill indi
i cates some pluck and spirit in the committee, and
so we are not inclined to enquire how so very slug
glish a committee could have reported so efficient
; and spunky a bill. There is nothing good that,
come in out of Nazareth ; bu* here i» something
very good coining out of the Rip Van Winkle leg
islative committee on retaliation.
The provisions of the bill alluded to, and known
■ as the “Parsons bill,” are the following, in sub
stance, as we have heard them stated ; for we have
not been able to examine it; Parsons was in pur
suit of five or six runaway slaves. Overtaking
them on some railroad in Pennsylvania, he seized
! them on the spot and attempted to secure them.
The moh interfered, rescued and carried oil' the
negroes, and caused Parsons to be arrested for
kidnapping. Parsons gave bail for s2>o*Xi, re
turned home, and petioned the Legislature for re
lief.
This bill commands Parsons, as a citizen of Vir
ginia, to forfeit ills recognizance, and not to return
,to Pennsylvania. It directs Parson’s surety in that
■ State to plead this act in defiance of proceedings
against him for the bail money. It further pro
vides, that, in case the plea is overruled, and judg
ment goes against this surety for the bail money,
the Treasurer of Virginia shall discharge it with
all costs and damages ; and that thereupon the
Coventor shall have power to seize the body or the I
property of any citizen of Pennsylvania* in this
State, until the amount thus paid by Virginia slnill
he refunded by Pennsylvania. Such is the purport
of the bill ami it smacks of the right spirit ft
contains provisions, if what we hear be true, which
are unnecessary, if not ridiculous, that ought to be
stricken out of it; but the spirit and aim of the
bill are proper and commendable.
Yesterday the bill was modified in the House, so
as, instead of allowing the Governor to seize Penn
sylvania men and goods, to call the Legislature to
gether. Thru were also new provisions added au
thorizing similar proceedings in all like eases.
The kill thus modified, passed the House late yes
terday by almost a unanimous vote a few voting
against ir, ns legislating on more than one object
in violation of the State constitutional provision
on that subject. The Senate was to have consider
ed the bill last night.

THE CRITERION;
A LITERS RY AX I) CRITICAL WEEKLY JOURNAL,
Id Pages, 4 to,
IITAS commenced on the third of November,
V7 l -55, and Ims thus far received very gen
eral approbation. Anxious to extend its influence,
and place it upon a substantial basis of support,
the Publisher desires most earnestly to direct the
attention ot the thinking public of America to its
claims upon their consideration.
The main feature of the CRITERION is its AV
views of Current Literal In this department
are given thorough and able criticisms of all the
most important books as they are issued, pointing
out their chief characteristics, and indicating their
moral tendencies, thus keeping its readers inform
ed of ali new publications which deserve their at
; tention.
IT ALSO CONTAINS
Copious Intelligence of Affairs in the Literary
World; Gossip concerning Books and Writers;
Vnuounceuients of contemplated Publications; and
Lists of New Books issued in America and Europe.
The Drama, Mu i\ Fine Arts and Science, also
receive attention, and several columns of carefully
selected and agreeable matter are given in each
number. 111 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 great 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 1
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
provement in taste, the encouragement of merit,
and an uncompromising condemnation of vicious
style, mock sentiment, and evil principles, such an
enterprise cannot —at least, should not be indif- .
ferent.
To members of Historical, Literary and Scien
tific Societies, Lyceums and Debatind Cubs,
the subjects discussed in this paper will, at all
times, prove of peculiar interest, and it is the de
sign of ilie 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
gation.
The CRITERION is published at *5 per annum,
payable y early, half yearly, or quarterly, in ad
vance. Specimen copies supplied, on application
to the Publisher. CHARLES It. RODE,
