Mr. Smith, oj Union , mid: | r Speaker —I regret that the elaborate argu • f the gentleman from Gilmer, i Mr. Picket.) . ; ,iteed me under the unpleasant necessity of V D g on this House a speech. That there i- u "(fsitv of opinion in this General Assembly, on ..subject of Internal Improvement, bv State aid, . , fully demonstrated by the action of this But that any Georgian, particularly any .rokee Georgian, should, with the luminous . ry of railroad enterprise, and railroad tri ■h'spread out before him, be heard to raise bis in these Halls, against their creation or fur - extension by individual or corporate ent-c --. , excites in me the most profound astonisb- But what are those enterprises ? What '•triumphs? One fifth of a century has scarce . sed since all Cherokee Georgia was an unex r i wild a savage inhabited wilderness. W ,■ re the council tire then blazed or the improvi :.i Indian idly roamed, is now seen the well cul .;and luxurious farm, fresh gleaned of its • a and exhuberant harvest. Where the low, zv wigwam then stood, now looms up the ro • villa, or spreads the flourishing village, ; si< J with the busy hum of industrial life, and . witli all the joyous manitesiations of ra_e *..liv advancing civilisation. Where the glittering iiipino’knife and blood-stained tomahawk tli.it ■ ained, iinid the lurid light of burning jdom -r JS s ami the lone, plaintive wail of the expir victim. and the terific warwhoop of the exitit ’7 victor, broke in awful cadence upon the dull j„f night, now the tall church dedicated to Go !, j ... it- lofty spine in the halcyon rays of the ] ia,- sun. and the euphonious chime of toe rcli-geing bell is summoning village aud cot r to the peaceful altar of f'histrian prayer—the of a Christian God. And where the star, deer then bounded over its grassy heath to j > the swift flying dart front the red man’s u t- j iz bow. now thunders along his iron track the .•i-ua-stud laden with the rich and vari< d j r ducts of far off vallev and mountain. Verily, j it's die waste places of earth been made glad, | the wilderness to bloom as the rose—win this ! j: 'v uictamorphos, this magie-like transform i- . I , ’ Turn to your statute-books, witness the pi >- rid and lar-reaching sagacity of your predeco t r, ..n this floor, then estimate the giant might j wd creative energies of our population, and the ! •irstery is solved. 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 • left tor modern statesmanship to illustrate and 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 ted State. They spake, aud striking the sterii ■ 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 ! ■! stained rulers of the past, and the eulight- - •i. ameliorating statesmanship of the present I | .•an contemplate the incalculable results of t - stupendous stretch of statesmanship—the Tisurnrna> i m of this Herculean and State enrich- ; nterprise. without not only thanking (rod that j • n modern an American, yea. a Georgian c’itat representative on this floor can survey our i i ugnificent system ofrailroadand internal improvi - I acuta stretching from the seaboard to thear-off, ! misty mountains without wishing to see additional arms thrown off, from the great central trunk into J .til the prominent sections of the State, giving no I .mpetus tu industry and business, that will can- 1 j 'be great commercial heart of Georgia to ptilsa l • , >ith new-born vigor and energy ? I, at least, M:. | speaker, desire, as tail may infer from the bill un- ; r donsideration, to adil another link to this ex- i . ad-'d and still extending chain, a chain, sir, which even now binding together the sunny South, : id prolific south-west with the strong ligaments : Sir, 1 have the honor to represent, on this floor, j iistituency who have received but few of th > xness or commercial facilities lavished on other rtions of the State, by the erection of those great 1 towards the construction of which they con- ; ited their foil proportion; a constituency whos ■ • -mtatives have, session after session, voted V stuns of money, to create and facilitate tit•* i ■r and railroad transportation of middle and !

Why : 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.

Prescriptions, Analyses and Family orders, executed with the utmost care, and of the purest materials, by an experienced Chemist, at febl h WM H Tl I T’S Drug Store. 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! PARTICULAR NOTICE. (iRKAT SALK OF FACTORY STOCK. I'T having been determined to increase the Cap . ifa!
