DAILY (ONSTITITIONALIST BY JAMES GARDNER. SATURDAY -HORNING, FEB’Y IC. The Meeting To-Night. In response to a call from a number of citizens, the Mayor has called a public meeting to be held at the City Hall this evening at eight o’clock. The object is to consult together as to the policy of sub scribing for £SOO, noo of stock in the Savannah Valley Railroad Company. Mr. Toombs’ lecture in Boston. We commence to-day the publication of Mr. Toombs' lecture, delivered on the 28th ult., in Bos ton. It us unnecessary for us to accompany its publication with one single line of commendation j the lecture will be read, at the present time, and j be referred to in the future, as one of the ablest ; expositions of the constitutional powers and du ties of the Federal Government in relation to do mestic slavery that has ever been deli' ered. We shall conclude the lecture to-morrow. Hancock Manufacturing Company. jhe Centra! Sparta (rtorgian, of 1:1th ult.. aavs: “Mr. Monroe, of the Montour Company arrived last week, after more than a month's pas sag.’ from New- York. We understand he was de tained by sickness. The necessary arrangements not having been made, the sheriff has again taken charge of the property purchased by them from the Hancock Manufacturing Company, and adver- j tised a sale. It is hoped that a private arrange ment can be made by a transfer of the former sale, j that will be satisfactory to all parties. ‘ Xi is asked by the opposition press, what north ern Know Nothing voted for Aiken on the tinal vote’’ We reply, Wheeler and Williams, of New York, —Macon Messenger, Feb. 13. And what kind of a reply is it? Williams, of New York, is, for the first time, claimed as a Know Nothing. On what authority? We imagine the “initiated" editor will find it difficult to produce any. Williams was the gentleman who voted so long and so devotedly for Mr. Orr, of South Caro lina? He never was claimed by the Know No things, and never voted with them for Mr. Fuller, and has never been reported such in any statement exhibiting the political complexion of the House, that we have seen. Now, as to Wheeler! He is reported, by the Messenger, to be a Know Nothing, but, if he is he has taken very good care never to vote with them, or for them, so far as it has met our observation, oti any occasion of a party test. In the contest for Speaker, he generally voted tor Williams, and Williams for Orr. The record is complete, that not one Know No thing Horn the Free States voted for Aiken for Speaker, and it is folly to dispute it. Politics of New Hampshire. Mr. Orr, of South Carolina, Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, and Mr. Weller, of California, addressed a mass meet ing of the Democracy of New- Hampshire at Concord on Thursday last. Mr. Weller condemn ed Know Nothingism very strongly. Mr. Orr de fended the South against the charge of aggression upon the right* of the North; and, in turn, charged the North with continually infringing upon the constitutional rights of the South. He defended the compromise measures and the Ne braska bill. Mr. Cobb, according to the report of the Boston Post, "expressed his pleasant feelings at meeting a New England audience for the first time, and said that if the people of the different parts of the Union understood each other better to any of ihe evils which now arise from miscon ception would be abated and the spirit of section alism hi- lessened. The great principle of the Re volution, which had been and should now be the animating principle of the American Republic, was self-government. The doctrine of non-inter ference between the States in the matter of slave ry was ably presented at length by the Speaker as essential to the preservation and harmony of the Union, and the errors of Nonw Nothingism were fully exposed. English Basks.—Tin 1 banking institutions oi London show larger profits than our own. The London and Westminister Hank i tlie leading joint stock institution; has recently declared u dividend equivalent to sixteen per cent, per annum, viz: Five per cent, regular dividend, and bonus of live per cent, for the half year. Capital, iil.nno, you; deposits. £5.74A,000 p loans and securities, £0,120,- U'"i. Thus the sums drawing interest are nine times the amount of capital. Material Aid.—The people of Hampshire coun ty, Virginia, have decided, by a majority of more than two-thirds of the whole vote cast, in favor of a subscription by the county of *1 no, ooo to the Alexandria, Loudoun and Hampshire Railroad. COMMUNICATED. To “ A Citizen.” it-. Editor: An article appeared in the Chrotti cla, some few days since, signed “A Citizen’,’’cau tioning our citizens against any railroad connec tion, and advising them to take warning by the falte of Macon drawing the conclusion that by the junction of roads there the prosperity of the place has been almost annihilated—in other words that out of nearly twenty-six thousand bales of Cotton, received in January, less than two thousand, or 1-18, bad stopped in Macon. In answer to “ Citizen," [ would ask him wliat was the state of the case ]>reeiom to the railroad connection ? By the returns previous to the con nection, he will find that quite as large an amount passed through without stopping, as since tlic junction. The truth is, that Augusta has ever been a good Cotton market; it is now, and no doubt al ways will be. On the other hand, Macon never was, and has no Banking facilities. She once pos sessed a wagon trade, which has been removed, by the South Western road, to Americas; and the great advantage that would havejaccrued to Macon bv the railroad connection, was prevented by the heavy discrimination against her. This at first was limited to twenty per cent., hut the Centra! railroad, thinking this amount too small, induced the Legislature to remove this limit, and it now ranges from twenty to thirty per cent. We cheer fully admit that with like discriminations against Augusta, the great advantages to he expected from the junction would be destroyed, but fortunately we are protected by law from any discrimination against us, and beside, unlike Macon, which has but one outlet, we have three; and, therefore, there is reason to believe that where all obstructions to trade are removed, the total receipts will be large ly increased, and that of Warehouses in a fair pro portion Akoihkr Citizen. [COMMUNICATED. J James Gardner, Esq., Editin' (knutitutionalut: 1 cannot refrain from making public the intense gratification I feel at the course recently pursued bv President Pierce. After voting for him. in the last Presidential struggle, niv feelings became en tirely estranged from him on account of his ap pointing policy, and especially on account of his policy towards the Democracy in New York. In conduetiug the Imuptnd:nt P.vs*. I felt that duty constrained me to denounce the conduct of the President, in allowing the "Softs" to sit down at the table ot Democracy, as a weak and short-sight ed policy ; though I always believed, and main tained, that Gen. Pierce was actuated by the purest motives of patriotism in the course which he pur sued. The soundness of the views put forth in his state papers, and his wholesome administration •ichor* some of his appointments, could not entirely appease the wrath and the prejudice of a Georgia " Hard.” 1 intended that if Pierce should be the nominee of the National Democracy, 1 would sup port him. For if 1 did not go w ith the Democracy, in the language of Mr. Webster, " where could 1 go?” Isay 1 should have given Pirrce my sup port; but my feelings or prejudices would not have gone with my judgment. I preferred the nomina tion of some other man. Now, however, "a change has come over the spirit of my dream.” lam fully, unreservedly and unconditionally a Pierce man. I had rather see him nominated and elected, thau anv one else His discussion of the constitutional theory of our gov ernment, and his diagnosis of the negro mania, presented in his last message to Congress, were the John the Baptist which was the forerunner of the mightier document that came afterward, in the message referring to the Kansas difficulties. When ; I read the first, my prejudices against the President were so far removed, that I became a “competent” juror to judge of his case. And when the last doc- I ument came out, I said, “surely the spirit of An drew J ackson is upon the man who has the nerve to take the positions assumed by President Pierce.” My dear sir, Franklin Pierce, in his last mes sage to Congress, occupying the position that he does to give his views force, lias done more to se cure the stability of this government, than has been done by any other statesman since the iron heart of the old hero ceased to heat at the Hermit age. It is true, < ALHOUX and other men from the 1 South, have spoken in this way before. But tlieir dicta were regarded as the language of sectional ism and ultraism. It is true, that your Casses, and Dickinsons, and Douglases, and Buchanans have j enunciated similar sentiments, some with more and some with less boldness. But these were re garded as the opinions of private individuals. But J- k inklin Pierce, standing upon an eminence from which he is seen and heard by all the nations and kindred of the earth, raises his voice, and savs to the waves of fanaticism, “ Peace, he still.” When did a President thus speak before? His utterance ' i* not looked upon simply as the private opinion of an individual. But it is regarded as the mandate ’ of one of the mightiest nations of the earth. The voice of the American Government says to Aboli tionism, you shall not lay vour traitorous hand upon the fair fabric of American greatness to raze ir to the earth. For the heart that plans the trea son shall, as certainly as the sun shines, feel the dagger of the law. It is not the South alone that should thank Pres ! ident Pierce for the position assumed by him. The j whole country owes him a debt of gratitude. The South is no more interested in putting down, at ! >he point of the bayonet, if need be, ihe ranting hordes of abolition than the North. Under aboli | tion regime, this Government cannot exist. And 1 have yet to learn that the Northern States of this | Confederacy can get along any better without our Constitution, than the Southern States. It is a I gross error to look upon the contest between slave j i vand the Abolitionists, as a fight waged for the South alone. It is the battle of the whole country, | and every inhabitant of this wide domain is deeply interested in the result. Slavery is not sectional in the warfare waged against it' It is national. And the cause of slavery is the cause of the coun try. It is hi the Constitution, and no other hand hut that of the Southern States can pluck i! from its place, without causing the whole fabric to totter to its fall. To tear it from its place in the Consti i tution, by the Federal hand, would be no less de ; structive to this Government, than to smite off | from the coronet of the Constitution habeas corpus, or the right of trial by jury. Such being the case, President Pierce, in this “war against the devils,” has— ————“ Above the rest. In shape and gesture proudly eminent, Stood like a tower.” He is a tower of strength to sound constitutional principles, and the whole country should rally to ; ais support. J. A. Turner. February 11th, 185*'.. Tennessee Suits Against the State Kaiload. REPORT OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE. Yonr committee, appointed by resolution of the Senate, in accordance with the recommendation of 'ris Excellency the Governor, contained in his mes sage, in relation to suits, by certain citizens of the State of Tennessee in the courts of that State, tgainst the State of Georgia, for alleged damages jiaimed to have been sustained bv those citizens, for failing to ship promptly, and for unseasonable detention of produce and merchandise owned bv said citizens, and registered for shipment or trans portation over the Western and Atlantic Railroad, have had those suits, the evidence and the proceed ings had therein, under consideration, and beg leave to make the following report: To have a proper understanding of the question under consideration, it will be necessary to exam ine the Legislation of the State of Tennessee, con ferring on the State of Georgia the right to con struct a part of the Western and Atlantic Railroad in that State. The State of Tennessee by act of her Legislature passed January 24th, 183-- -granted to the State if Georgia the right to extend and construct the Western and Atlantic railroad from the Georgia line to the Tennessee river, with all the privileges, rights and immunities, and subject to the same re strictions, as far as they are applicable as were granted bv the State of Tennessee to the lliwassee ailroad Company. The State of Tennessee, by act T her Legislature, passed February 3d, 1«40, con ferred upon the State of Georgia, so far as the Western and Atlantic railroad is concerned, all the rights, privileges and immunities, with the same restrictions us were conferred bv that State on the Nashville and Chattanooga railroad Company. By virtue of the privileges conferred by these acts, the State of Georgia constructed a portion if the Western and Atlantic railroad in the -date of Tennessee, upon the terms specified in the above recited act. Your committee are of the opinion, that the State of Georgia by accept ing the terms, privileges and immunities, as well as the restrictions specified in the acts above men tioned, become liable to be sued in the Courts of Tennessee, and consented to waive so much of her sovereignty, as to authorize suits to he brought in those Courts, for causes’of action arising in the State of Tennesseee, for injuries, default or negli gence on the part of the Agents of the Western and Atlantic railroad. Your committee are of the opinion that the causes of these suits originated for the want of a sufficient equipage of locomo tives and cars to transact the business of the road. In the year 1552, the amount of produce ottered for transportation over the Western and Atlantic railroad was very large, and the facilities of the road for doing a heavy business were very limited. The road was mainly dependent for freight cars, on the Georgia, Macon and Western, and Central railroads, which roads, to some extent, claimed ami exercised the right to prescribe the quality of freights transported in their respective cars! In consequence of the exercise of this right, great difficulty arose in transporting the freights over the road in the order of their registry, and most of the suits submitted to our examination were predica ted on aclaimfor damages inbehalf of the plaintiffs for non-shipment of produce, registered by them for transportation over the road, within a reasona ble time, and in the order of their registry. An nexed to this report is a statement of a number of suits brought, for what brought, of the amount claimed, and of those determined: how much re covered, together with a brief of the evidence, in those cases, and the proceedings had therein. The suits have been brought not agaiust the State of Geor gia, as defendant, hut again the Western and \t lantic road, which your committee consider irregu lar and erroneous, inasmuch as there is no such natural person as the Western and Atlantic rail road, neither has there been created by the Legis lation of the State of Georgia or Tennessee, any such artificial person or corporation; for all the rights, privileges and immunities conferred by the State of Tennessee, were conferred upon the State of Georgia, and not upon a company called the Western Bmi Atlantic railroad. The Western and Atlantic railroad, is not a Company or Corporation —but simply the manic of a line of railroad, ex tending from the city of Atlanta to the citv of Chattanooga, and is the property of the State ot Georgia ; consequently, we are of the opinion, lhat there is, and was, no defendant in these cases, and the proceedings had therein, were, and are void as agai list the State ot Georgia, and the-judgments had thereon of no binding force or effect upon the property of the State of Georgia, situated jn Ten nessee oFelse where. Most of the cases decided, have been determined by submission to arbitrators. Your Committee would recommend, that the cases still pending, be vigorously defended in the Courts of Tennessee; and that no more of them be submit ted to arbitration. Your Committee would further recommend that the road be equipped iu such a manner as to enable the agents to transact tire business offered, ! with dispatch and promptness, which, we believe, would largely increase the pro fits of the road, and greatly benefit the citizens of our own State residing on that line of the road. We would further recommend, that a freight list be established, graduated in proportion to the dis tance, u hich freights are carried over that road. Your Committee are divided in opinion on tin question, as to whether Georgia ought, or ought not, to sell, or dispose of, that portion of the Wes tern and Atlantic railroad lying in the State of Tennessee; and upon that subject, beg leave to make no further report. All of which is respectfully submitted. V. H. Cone, Chairman. Andrew J. Miller, Deceased. -—Months ago we heard a gentleman of Augusta remark of Andrew J. Miller, “ When that man dies, the poor of this city will lose a great friend.” We though it one of the highest eulogiums that could be pronounced; and the universal testimony is, that it was entirely merited byhim upon whom it was bestowed. Vet it is not onlv the poor who are sufferers bv the death of their tried and faithful counsellor; but the city of Augusta mourns the departure of her chief pride; and the State of Georgia grieves over the loss of one of her brightest ornaments. It was our good fortune to know Mr. Miller personally, socially. And we can but record the impression which always possessed us when in his presence; it was, that we were with one of thebest and purest men. The beaming generosity of his [soul -hone above the brightness of bis intellect. Yet there were moments, even in social converse, when the tension of powerful thought rendered rigid his otherwise placid feature and made every one feel that a master mind was there. Most si'ucerelv do we condole wnh the family and friends of the de ceased in this, their irreparable breavment. EiqefitU Ada rtinr. Correspondence of the OonstUutio7Uxlist. GEORGIA LEGLSLATURE. r .

From the Montgomery [ Ala.) Journo/. The Sick Man’s Dream. This beautiful piece of poetry was written by the late Judge Robert Raymond Reed, of Georgia, af terward Governor of Florida. It has never appear ed in print before, and the lady for whom it was penned, now a resident of this city, has kindly permitted us to give it to the public through our columns. It is one of those choice, yet unobtrusive gems, struck out from a rich mine of thought, that has only to see the light, to have its beauties ap preciated : A SICK MAN’S DREAM. Methought that in a sacred wood, 1 slumbered on a bank of flowers; Soothed by a streamlet's wandering flood, That gurgled through the whispering bowers; And dreams did visit me—so bright, An Elysium only could beget them. They brought me such intense delight, 1 never, never can forget them. It seemed that thou was present there. Thine eyes with living lustre beaming; The star of morning deck’d thv hair, And till around its radiance streaming, Imparted to thy lip—thj cheek The brightness of immortal glory, O I we can ne’er such visions seek, Hut in some old romantic story ! And near thee hung a lyre of gold. Beneath a bow of shadowing roses Roses dike these that lot - enfold, When from his toils the God reposes; And when thy fingerrs touched the strings. They yielded numbers rich and swelling. As when some spirit sweetlv sings At evening, from her viewless dwelling. Yet changeful was that Music’s strain. It told of Hope, and Youth, and Gladness ; Os Pleasure’s \\ reath, of True-Love's chain. And then of blighted Joy* anil Sadness. \t he-t an answering I we... there came, From u bright cloud that then descended, And while it spake—a quivering flame Was with the fleecy whiteness blended. i may not tell the words so kind, By that same plaintive voice then spoken, For the dark night-storm’s rudest wind Came o’er my dream, and it was broken. But lady, tranquil he thy hours, And smooth the path of life before thee, For surely, from celestial bowers, Some happy spirit watches o’er thee ! BY TELE GRAPH. Congressional. Washington, Feb. 14.
