Georgia's statesman saw and recognized tli •
political truth that it was one legitimate end
■ad object of legislation to foster, develop and call !
. requisition all the vast resources of the State, i
.i-sical and moral, but this political philosophv j

„ rn. A celebrated ancient General ouce three-;
in the blind impotency of rage, to hurl an ;
.• -i.eaved mountain from its adamantine base so j
at his desolating army of millions might inun- I
ate the classic plains of liberty, leaving Greece
ith blood and destruction. Georgia’s more plf- i
nthroj ic statesman said, in tones characteristic j
true wisdom and humanity, we will cut a pa— 1
l>: through the mighty harrier on our western !
rder, and let the vast products and exhaustions j
eature of the great valley of the Mississippi dis
themselves into the expansive lapof tier on tt

i. nut with the divine rod of Moses, not with ;
i fabled wand of ancient magicians, but with th ■ I
tvrrfui talisman of well directed enterprise, and i
'•nriching stream of golden commerce gushed
rth at their bidding. What a striking contrast i
etweeu the merciless folly and infatuation of the !

’Httng at home for want of lucrative

: do the parents of the peerless daughters of the
South spend their millions annually at the various
fashionable watering places of the North—South
—contemning North—while amid our own ever
green mountains, beneath the skv as blue as
Italia s, they tnav revel almost without price, in
j scenery tnor.- wild and diversified—landscape more
i picturesque and variegated —inhale an atmosphere
! as pure and salubrious as the breath of Heaven
i and quaff water, pure and lucid as crystal, more
j healthy, giving and restoring than that which
I gushes from Saratoga’s boasted fount ? The rea
son of all this is as obvious as humiliating to our
j s,at « pride. At present there exists no rapid and
} easy trausit, to this bland, healthful summer re
treat. no facilities for the transportation of nrateri-
I a! to this natural, and, 1 will add, future seat of
i Southern manufactories.
Must this lamentable state of things, continue to
exist ? —shall the Blue Ridge ever constitute an ivy'
wall between upper and lower Georgia? If so,
be the onotts on other heads than those of my con
stituents, who now, with a magnanimity character
istic with their own chivalrous and indomitable
nature, ask the privilege of hewing down with
their own strong unaided hands, the great wall
that looms up between us, thus identifying them
selves more fully with, and pouring their now bu- ,
rii d. inert and pent up treasure into the lap of
Middle and Lower Georgia. Ts there, one here who <
has tin* temerity to dispute this their natural and
guaranteed right, or reject this, their proffered
treasure? Ves, and the acknowledgment brings
the indignant blush of shame to my cheek. There
is one in temple, erected to justice, equality and
freedom, who would draw invidious distinctions
and place the brand of Cain on a portion of the
common children of a common parent. A righ
teous heaven, mark the oppressor, doom him to
the cutting lash of an indignent public opinion—- j
outraged natural rights, but spare, in mercy spare j
his constituents, from the misery and degradation I
lie would inflict on mine.
I have thus glanced briefly at some of the ad- j
vantages to he derived from the construction of !
this road, and will now, with the indulgence of the
House, proceed to examine some of tiie alleged,
appaling effects, incident to its erection : First
1; is objected, that this contemplated road is de
signed to connect with the Tennessee and South
Carolina railroads. This is untrue, and as you will
perceive by reference to the connection specified
in the bill. Cut suppose it did connect with the
Tennessee and South Carolina roads —would this
justify you in refusing to mv constituents, the
rights and privileges extended to all other sections
of the State? Does not the Western and Atlantic
railroad connect with the Tennessee road? Does
not the Georgia railroad connect with the South
Carolina road • The LaGrange road with Alabama?
\ 1 1 >es not the Central road land vour produce on
(be great highway of Nations? Have we not now
a bill on our table, asking State aid to build a road i
; from Brunswick to Florida. And last, but not ;
j least in iniquity, did not the very consistent and >
i considerate gentleman from Gilmer, (Mr. Pickett,
i introduce a bill, aeking State aid to erect a road '
• making the same deprecated connection with Ten- j
; ties see? “O consistency thou art indeed a jewel.” !
But, sir, is not the value of all these roads en- }
i hanced a hundred fold by these connections ? Then j
; why should Northern Georgia be made an excep- !
| tiun to the general rule? If this doctrine is to be j
i inaugurated and engrafted on Georgia policy, go i
! lop off your railroads, make their termini in your j
; own State- block up your navigable rivers—lash !
back the mightl v Atlantic from your shore—cut oft’,
j all foreign and inter-State communication, and let I
! Georgia’s vast surplus products rot on Georgia j
sod. This would os eidiythtned statesmanship
t/iis, politi -Tl icoivmui safely exemplified. But stop I
not here go demolish tlie. jnagnitieent structure
of government reared by your patriot sires -blot j
out the sun of freedom—stifle the clarion trump ;
of liberty—lest your neighboring nations, inspired j
aud aroused by your example, should shake oft’the !
lethargic slumbers and shackles of ages of thral
dom, and aspire, aye, imperiously aspire to a par- ;
ticination in your happiness and prosperity. This
may be the statesmanship of antiquated 'schools,
but it emanates not from the statesman’s head, it i
springs not from the patriot’s heart.
Secondly, it is charged that this supposed ctm- i
nection will divert freight and travel, and thus ruin |
the State road. Now, the very reverse is nty in- i
tendon, and will be the effect of the erection of j
this road. In North ('arolina, though slumberless
thought, aud action, have been fully aroused on j
the subject of railroads and international improv. -
ment like Georgia, she, too, can boast of a great
central tnmk of railroads, which she is yearly ex
tending Westward, ('barters have already been
granted, routes surveyed, and roads partially under !
contract to Ashville, on her Western border. She, I
too, is alive to the importance of the vast trade ami ■
travel to the West, straining every nerve to its ut- j
most tension to secure it, and thus make her road j
the great thoroughfare of the nation, and her mag- j
uiticent harbor at Beaufort the emporium of the
South.
In the prosecution of tins scheme, her next
Legislature will grant a charter from Ashville to I
Duck Town, in Tennnssee. This link filled up, |
this connection secured, and she will have curtailed i
the distance front the South-west to the North-east ;
from two to three hundred miles. Look ut it map
of the two States, and vou will find this statement '
fully corroborated. Would not this decreased dis
tance, and the consequent diminution in the cost < f
freight and travel, divert a large proportion of bu
siness from Georgia roads* How is the calamity j
to be averted ? I answer, by the erection of the I
North-eastern road and the one contemplated by
this hill. Tiii; former will place you in direct
communication with Cincinnati and the great
North-west -the latter will he a great feeder to
the former from the South-west, and thus largo- :
iy augment the business of our roads and the com
merce of your sea-port towns. This is your reme
dy, your only alternative. Then, instead of Un
sworn guardians of Georgia’s interest waging war •
on those who would voluntarily shoulder this
weighty enterprize, would it not better befit their !
position to be clamoring at the coffers of the State ;
; for aid to thwart the catastrophe suspended over our
i commercial interest ?
But the gentleman from Gilmer scoffs at the idea !
t of building a road over the lofty and rugged moun
tains of western North Carolina, and, 1 suppose, 1
ought to succumb to the gentleman’s superior
knowledge, he having the honor once to represent
; them, lie, however, differs on this subject with
the distinguished civil engineer of the Western ,
Turnpike road, (Mr. Fox) who was instructed in that .
survey to ascertain the practicability of building a
road from Salslnirv West, i was present when hi
re-ported, and if my memory is not greatly at fault, i
he pronounced it a practicable railroad route.
But suppose, for argument's sake, the gentleman ;
he correct, that difficulties and obstructions do ex
ist, calculated to deter North Carolina from ex
tending her railroad rapidly Westward, does this '
not constitute an additional reason why Georgia
should open her less obstructed and national out
lets, and thus secure the commerce of Western
North Carolina, instead of suffering her to secure I
that of Northern Georgia, by either the contempla- I
ted railroad or the one now being constructed from
Clayton to Knoxville, Tennessee?
Sir, I lay it down as a fundamental truth—an in
controvertible proposition—that where navigable
rivers do not exist, or afford the requisite facilities
for transportation, they, the sovereign people, have
a natural and an unquestionable right to create
them ; and that it is the imperative duty of the
State to foster every enterprise which has a tenden
cy to develop her resources, and increase the ag
gregate wealth and revenue of her citizens. It was
the recognition and observance of this great prin
ciple bv the Northern States, that drew the vast
products of the Northwest to the Northeastern .
cities. It was their system of railroads spreading
out, fan-like, in the productive Northwest, that
enabled her to monopolize that mammoth trade,
and make the city of New York ihe undisputed
Rmporium of this vast continent—and, as a conse
quence, the non-observance of this principle by us,
has left unfostered, undeveloped, the agricultural
and manufacturing interests, and commercial re
sourees of the South -exhausted our substance to
enrich Northern manufacture and is now preying,
like a mighty vampire, on our seaport towns und
cities. It is this enriching monopoly, together with
our tacit acknowledgement of their superiority
over us, that has made them proud, arrogant, fac
tious, would be'ipdependent; and it is this seem
ing independence that has estranged and alienated
their affection from the Union ; and I would say,
i at, a Georgia legislator, as this influence continues
to paralyze and make the heart of this great Union
beat feebly, and still more feebly, bindthe Southern
I territory together with strong ligaments of imn—
’ her people by identity of interest, and conviv
iality of this sentiment. This can only he effected
i hv spreading out your railroads in all the promi
nent regions of this >tate, by fostering the manu
f factories that spring tip everywhere along their
iron pathway, by developing all your natural re
sources. and by affording the facilities for the ue
t quisition of wealth and education to all classes of
, vour citizens. This done, und our whole popula
t - timi stands as a unit, and the South, upon which
God has stamped the indelible siguet of natural
ami commercial independence, will then take her
‘ appropriate and lofty position in a galaxy of States,
’ and tiauscendautly among them will flash Geor
gia's culminating star.
1 now proceed to notice the third and last ob-
I jection to the bill:
) The distinguished and lynx-eyed gentleman
. from the State of Gilmer, says, in substance, that
we wish, by the agency of this road, to divert our
1 trade to Rabun and South Carolina, and that,
,- therefore, this charter must not be granted—which
i means, in unsophisticated English, that Georgia—
t | the kind and fostering mother of us all—must
stoop from her lofty position—must doff the proud
appellation and resplendant habiliments of Empire
v State—must don the royal robes of despotic King
f George the third, and manacle the strong arms,
e and chill the warm hearts of her devoted sons;
s and why ? because, forsooth, we, like our gallant
. ancestors, desire to find the best and most luera
s, tive markets of the South, of the world, for our
e surplus products
! King George said to bis American colonies,
i “thou shall not buy, sell or trade, with France or
j Spain. lam thy master, England is thy mother;
I and your commodities shall have no other recepta
j eje but England.” King Gilmer would say to
' Union and Fannin, you wish to trade and traffic
1 with Rabun and South Carolina, hut I am the
, guardian of Georgia, the State road in particular,
j and her depots shall be yohr depots, her markets
j your only markets. Is there not a striking analogy
between the despotism of Ling George ofexecrated
j memory, aud the unmitigated tyranny of the
principle announced by the gentleman "from Gil
, mer? a principle which, I had supposed, was
I buried too deep beneath the blood aud carnage of
| our glorious revolution ever to be exhumed, re
! suscitated, and re-produced in a Georgia Legisla
ture--a principle, sir, even the kingly assumption
, of which stirred the deepest depth- of the great
| American heart, roused her patriot sons to arms
a principle, the refutation of which cost America
the lives of her noblest sons, an ocean of patriot
gore -a principle, the overthrow of which gave
freedom birth, and America a position and a name
—a principle, the re.assumption of which would
snatch the brightest gem from Georgia’s glorious
coronet, and stamp her the veriesijtnachiaeof des
potism and oppression. Sir, whilst I assert and
, maintain the absolute rights of my constituents to
trade where they can buy lowest and sell highest,
■ aud to create, at their own expense, such facilities
for the transportation of their products as will be
most conducive to their interest and prosperity, 1
deny the allegation, that the erection of this road
would have a tendency to divert the trade and
commerce of Georgia. On gthe contrary, I
think I have shown that it has become indispensa
bly necessary to preserve and augment it.
Mr. Pickett—Will the gentleman from Union
. permit me so ask him a question ?
• Mr. Smith—Certain!} Propound a dozen, if
j you desire.
I Mr. Pickett—Then will you permit me to amend
; your bill, by saying you shan’t connect, with the
j “Rabun Gap road?”
Mr. Smith- Shan’t, shan’t, no, sir tliai isatvord,
long since expunged from the freeman’s vocabula
ry! Thinkest thou my constituents, are base-born
slaves, to bow to the behest, or nod to a tyrant?
No, sir—sooner would i see this bill consumed to
the lightning of Heaven, and the road eugulphed
by an earthquake, than recognize yovr right, tosav
\ shan't to those who have honored me with their
suffrage I Does the gentleman not only wish to
place himself on record against the onward
march of improvement, but also against foreign
commerce? If so, lenvj. him not the distinction.
It foreign commerce be prejudicial to the interest
of State or nation, then were the aboriginees of
this vast continent, where navigable rivers were
unrippled by the Indians’ canoe, supremely blest
—then was the invention of steam, through the
agency of which our wide-spread commerce is
whitening every ocean and navigable stream on
the globe, the direst curse to which State or nation
has ever fallen heir to.
It commercial ignorance and seclusion be bliss,
then, indeed, were it folly to be commercially greu:
or wise; but if, on the contrary, it be beneficial,
as all sane men muss admit, and Northern Georgia
can enrich lierself, and greatly increase the reve
nues of the State, by supplying South Carolina
front her vast store house of surplus products,
whence the right or policy to thwart this laudable ]
project? If Rabun Gat) be the natural channel of!
commerce, what mortal power can revoke or conn- j
teract the decree ?
VS hat! can you lull the winged winds to sleep? !
Or rest the rolling world? Chain the heaving deep?
The one is as feasible as the other, and he who has
the temerity to attempt it, will find more congenial
companionship among the hallucinated victims of
the Lunatic Asylum, than in the Legislative Hall.
I have ever been taught that the proudest boast
and boon of the American, be he on the burning
sand of Africa, the icebergs of Greenland, or on
the mountain billows of the tempest tossed deep,
consisted in the consciousness with which he thun
dered iu the teoth of an aggressive foe. lam an
American, her laws extend to,gaud her stars and
stripes will protect, defend or avenge tne -shall it,
then, be said, because the Blue liidge looms up be
tween my constituents, and this, our common onp
tol, that they do not possess, and may not rightful
ly exercise, all the rights and privileges guaranteed
to middle and lower Georgians? I ndiscrimititi
ting God of my fathers; patriots, statesmen of
Georgia, forbid!
Why this unjust aud invidious discrimination
against my constituents ? Has Executive, State or
National, over made a requisition of us, and we re
sponded not? By the bloody record of Mexico’s
well-fought battle field—by the red glare of the
burning and desolate homes of your own Florida
frontier—l answer, no!
The gentleman appeals to members, by tin ir
love of their own sea-port towns, to defeat this
bill. I appeal not to sea-coast Georgia, by their
exposed position—to Middle Georgia, as the re
cipients of State aid—but I invoke you, by your
magnanimity , vour love of justice and equality,
your detestation for oppression and tyranny, to aid
tne in the passage of this bill, and the expulsion of
tyranny aud proscription from this House
COMM EROI U
Augusta Market, Feb. li>, 4 i*. 31,
COTTON.—We have pnss.-d through a we-k of
activity in the cotton trade. Prices have loomc 1
upward, and buyers have engaged in the same
spirit. The sales have been < drums irtinid only by
the quantity offering. Yesterday and to-day the
market stiffened still more under the influence of
the steamer’s news.
W e give the following quotations, as about the ;
ruling rates of operations to-day : Ordinary to
good ordinary Hk to ft; low middling to middling ’
9J-4 to 9%; strict to good middling to l 1 ; ,:
middling fair 10 to lo ! -4; fair 1 and fully fair j
to choice cents.
We might add, that ibe trade U somewhat ex
cited, and considerable speculative feeling main- j
fested.
GROCERIES. We hear of no change in prices j
in Sugar, Coffee, Molasses, Salt, Ragging and
Rope, since our last report. The stocks have some- |
what increased, but prices atv firm at our last ,
week’s quotations.
BACON. The sales have been considerable, for i
thus early in the season, and prices ruled at about j
12 cents, hog round, up to Monday, when, from the 1
quantity offering, in the bands of owners from the 1
interior, who wen pressing sales, prices rave wav. i
The unfavorable European news brought by the
Canada, also depressed the market At the present j
time, hog round may be quoted from 11 to 11 We.;
Hides 12; Shoulders 10, and lianas 11 to 12 ceni.s.
There is a tendency to lower figures, and the quan
tity now coming forward aud the anxiety of hold
ers, will probably still further depress the market.
LARD. —There is a full supply, anil the prices i
are easier. By the barrel 1! to 11 <■/ cents, and 12
cents in cans, are prices asked for small lots. Larue
lots would not bring over 10 or In’; cents.
OATS.—The price hns declined. About flo cts.
f> bushel, sacks included, in large lots, will give »
fair index of the market.
FLOUR.—City Mills, Superfine, quoted at 86,75,
and country brands §8.50 to ¥8.75.
CORN. —The trade are well supplied, aud retail
ing at 7o cents, without sacks. Ii would bo ditß
, cult to engage a large lot for 02 cents, sacks inclu
ded. Prices are tending downward.
For other articles, we refer to our last week
: ly statement.
CHARLESTON, Feb. 1-. —/ V--There was a
very active demand for this article to day, and dur
ing the excitement that prevailed, price- advanced
• a full W'bX 6 ' 011 Saturday’s rates. The transac

From the Atlanta Daily Examiner.
Speech of Mr. S. J. Smith, of Union.
We present our readers to-day, with the speech
of tin; Representative of Union county, in our State
Legislature, Mr. S. J. Smith, on the bill to incorpo
rate the Hiwassee Railroad Company. It was at
' our urrnext solicitation—influenced by more reasons
j than one—that this gentleman consented to write
out his remarks and hand them to us for publica
tion. In the first place, he represents a county m
: which our paper has u very large circulation, and
, for which we do most of the legal advertising. In
j the second place, the Democracy of Union county
in fact, all the citizens thereof—feel, and have a
deep interest in the construction of the Hiwassee
| railroad, and are naturally anxious to hear from
their representatives, and of his efforts to procure
I privileges desired by, and so important, to them.
I And, in the third place, because we think this gen
: tleujau has been unjustly reflected upon, by the
: correspondent of the Savannah Georgian, at this
place, whose reiined taste and city-seaboard asso
ciation.-, doubtless have not prepared his delicatel\
strong nerves, for, if lie will have it so, the bois
terous eloquence of our hardy, liberty-loving, botli
in speech and action, Blue Ridge Mountain Demo
crats.
Our readers in Union county will perceive, in
j perusing the speech of their representative, that
! he has zealously, and with signal ability and elo
quence, advocated in the Legislature, a measure of
| “deliverance and liberty” to them— deliveraru •
\ from obstructions which nature has placed in their
j path to a market, and liberty to trade, upon terms
of equality with their more favored fellow-citizens,
this side the mountain, on the line of the Western
and Atlantic railroad. Indeed, it was a topic—the
charter asked by the company—which was well
calculated to excite deep feeling in the breast of
him who represented our friends in Union county,
and the result was the impassioned, fervid, and
eloquent appeal, which lie made to the House. But
we will not stop here. The points presented, and
argument, do full justice to the proposed measure,
anil conclusively show, that the interests of the
speaker's constituency were wisely entrusted to
able and faithful hands. The failure of success,
on its first trial before tlie House, must be attribu
ted to causes and influences over which he had no
control. Its reconsideration and passage thereaf
ter, by a majority of eleven, was, indeed, a ti i
umph. We congratulate his constituency upon it.
D affords us, also, great gratification to say, that
we have witnessed, with pleasure and pride, the
high-toned independence, liberality and patriotism
which have characterized the legislation of the
representative from Union county, during the ses
sion of the Legislature. Governed by no sectional
interests—restrained from his dutv to the State at
large, by no local prejudices or disappointment -,
he lias met every measure with no shrinking point,
and lias invariably cast his vote, after deliberate!'- j
determining upon the merit.? of the question. !
Guarding'the Treasury of the State with a jealous
eye, he has been far, however, from acting on the
principle, that if he could not “eat the hay him
self, no one else should eat itbut on all propos
ed measures of enlightened policy and usefulness,
lie lias been found at his post, sustaining them.
No member of the present Legislature can show a
clearer, cleaner, and more patriotic record, than S.
J. Smith, tin- Representative from Union countv.
It has, also, afforded us much gratification to
hear of his course on the bill of Mr. Crook—‘li -
able representative from Chattooga county to ap
propriate fifty thousand dollars to aid emigration
from tlic South to Kansas. We wore not present
at the debate which took place on this bill, on
Monday last; but, if we are correctly advised, our
own representative, Mr. Harris, and the represen
tative from Union, occupied antagonistic position >
in reference to it- -the fatter supporting, and the
former opposing the measure. It would be iff. '
proper in us to censure the course of the represen
tative from Fulton, from a mere hearsay of posi
tions assumed by him in his speech on that occa
sion ; hence, we refrain, trusting to the future for
reliable and more specific information, as to Jii.s
grounds of opposition to the bill. But as regards
ihe representative from Union, we can, with pleas ;
ure, say, that with him the fourth Resolution of
the Georgia Platform is no mockery—that Soutl - j
’Tii Rights is no farce -and that Northern aggro- |
sion must bo repelled, at any and every sacrifice. |
The Miwythat slavery is to be restricted within i's I
present limits, and that the slaveholder, with hi;
slaves, should be discouraged from emigrating u> j
Kansas, or that Southern men, slaveholders them
selves, or sons of sires that are so, are not to In
trusted in Kansas, is a theory that tve believe n.-i
in, and deeply regret to think, that any Southern
man can, for a moment, entertain it. ft is a doc
trine that the stern, unflinching, nnti-Know Noth
ing Democracy and Whigs of Georgia, yea. niiu
teen-twcntietlis of the people of the South, will re
pudiate, whenever it is advanced. Like the repre
sentative from Union, they will not tolerate it for
an hour!
