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.

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 (fen.

Thomas Sill, a dis tinguished lawyer and politician, died in this city : lust evening. From tk* Richmond Framin',-. 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 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.
