This geatleman lias addressed a long letter to
Editor® cf tlie Southern Recorder, which

of
. tion to a report made by a committee
kjclilio >* aS * member, appointed at the last
• jn oftbe legislature to investigate the finan.
,]cooditi° n of the State. We hove but a few
lids to bestow to-day on the tirade against us
hat letter, and will not at any time be drawn
j a long and unavailing discussion upon that
,,iv other subject with that gentleman—he
nnot convince us, and we have no particular
site to convince him. We think, however,
s t without trying very hard he might have
dtly improved his letter bo.h in temper and
it '
V«t week wc will publish his letter as he
j si*, and pay our respects to him by de-
, c ],j n rr briefly the few points in the lettor
jcb wc deem worthy of notice.
)V'e publish in to-day’s paper the memorial
jlr. Whitney, a citizen of the State of New
rki praying Congress for the appropriation
a certain portion of tho public domain, for
construction of a Rail Road from Lake
chigan through the Rocky Mountains and
.gjn Territory, to the shores of the Pa-
Ocean. We have inserted this memorial,
. jhat ,ve believe either in its practicability
in the right of Congress to make any. such
iropriations, but because the project is cer-
ly one of the most gigantic as well as mag-
jeent that can well be imagined. A Rail
id connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
eans, is a project in all its bearings, of the
$timportant character, as well from the ex
iled commercial intercourse which such a
tl ] would span, as from its advantage in a
v.al point of view ; and we think on that
aunt at least, that it is entitled to public in.
ligation.

A FLARE UP IN CONGRESS.
• following scene occurred in the House
(d»y during the discussion of the Indian
priation bill:
• Giddings made some remarks upon the
tot of the public money for the use of the
**of slaves and for the payment for their
ben in the service of the Government.—
'■ went on at length upon the exactions
the Government Treasury for the support
a .' n ent of slaves.
• Black said he would not reply to the
from Ohio. That member hud been
^ about here by every body so long, and
'•lie speech he had just made so many
■ that it had ceased to be a new thing.—
r l e speech was made the first time, it
-e merit of originality, but it had lost all
fjjjjy. Now, said Mr. B., I wish to ask
1 •■ber from Ohio, if he knows any body
^s'a, any district id Georgia, any part of
- J opposed lo the institution of slavery?
.' !a >d he would yield the floor when the
1 p Was answered.
idditjgs said he wis not the represen-
I Georgia, or any part of it. After some
conversation, in which allusion was
' , * negro who had drowned himself to
■ tlavery.
‘hack said that negro was a fellow of
. character; he had frequently runa-
II ois master, stole every thing he could
suds upon, and was wholly unmanage-
>>t was a specimen of the negroes for
s ' m pathies of the member from Ohio
i: cd) and whom he selected as exam
ples of the horrors of slavery. Why, did the
member ftom Ohio not recollect that he had
been charged with going upon the common
here and putting in a claim to a wagon that
was used for stealing negroes—which had been
clandestinely used for that purpose ? The
man whose wagon it was, was named Torrev,
a worthy associate, and co-mate, and co-laborer
of the member from Ohio—a man who was now
in the Maryland penitentiary. If lie were per
mitted by the rules of the House, he would say
the member from Ohio ought to be with him.
[Laughter.] He knew that if such a thing
could be put to the vote of this House, that he
would be keeping company with t the Rev. Mr.
Torrey. But the member from Ohio talked
about his character ! Now lie asked that mem
ber ifhc had not folded up a calico frock, and
sent it under frank through the post office us a
public document. The member from Ohio
talked of “garments dyed with blood,” and
that had reminded him (Mr. B.) of this calico
garment. And how was that dyed ? It had
the dye of fraud of this government upon it,
and the member from Ohio after that, should
not come here and talk about morality.
The honorable gentleman made some further
remarks, in which he told the member from
Ohio to go home to his people to ascertain if
he had any character there; for before God
and the country, he (Mr. B.J declared that he
had none here.
Mr. McDowell inquired if all this was in or-
dcr.
Mr. Giddings. Oh, it is very interesting in
deed.
Mr. Burt entreated of his friend from Geor
gia not to push this matter further.
Mr. Black resumed. He had no more to
say on that point. He regretted, as much as
the gentleman from South Carolina could do,
that lie had been led to refer to the member
from Ohio. Since 1839, year after year
had the gentleman from Ohio, indulged in
slander on the people he (Mr. B.) represented,
and had said that they were slave dealers,
and men who hud no regard for morality or
humanity. Day after day did Southern men
sit there and cower under the assaults—the
mendacious assaults, of northern members.—
He spoke not of the member from Ohio alone,
but of members who presented abolition p6lr-»
tions on this floor, which, if they were carried
to Georgia or South Carolina, and read to
meetings there, it would be worth the life
the man who dared to slander thus the people
there. When such assaults were committed,
should lie sit silently and take what his peo
ple would not take. Civ.lily to these people
was but “throwing pearls before swine the
only way was to pay them hack in their own
coin. He remembered, in 1839, the member
had charged the whole people of Georgia with
having instigated the Florida war by a theft on
the Florida Indians. He (Mr. B.) had felt it
incumbent on him at that time, amid a storm
of order, to vindicate his people, and give the
lie direct to the gentleman from Ohio. His
people at home would have done it, and would
have ev»n gone further—to the extent, as he
had then told the member, of inflicting the
Lynch law upon him. There was not a mem
ber from the South or Southwest on this floor,
who, if the member from Ohio were to walk up
to him on the avenue, and read him a pnper as
personal as nine-tentba of theabolition petitions
presented here, would not knock him down in
bi« tracks; and he (Mr. B.) would not surren
der his natural rights here, by refraining to re
pel such slanders upon the honor of his con
stituents.
Mr. Giddings said the scene that had been
witnessed was not a new one to him. He had
. been many times Similarly assailed upon this
floor, and once a bowie knife had been drawn
upon him. The gentleman from Georgia had
threatened to knock him down. He had never
seen a coward that did not talk loud.
[Here Mr. Black, who had left his own seat
upon the opposite side of the Hall, was seen
standing by the side of Mr. Giddings, with on
ly one member between the two. Raising his
voice and leaning towards Mr. G., Mr. Black
said, “If you will say out of doors what you
have said here, I will knock you down.”—
Mr. Hammett immediately prevented Mr. Black
from carrying out his seeming purpose of strik
ing Mr. Giddings, and took him behind the
Speaker’s Chair.]
Air. G. went- on and said further, that he
had seen euch scenes as these before, and had
before been threatened, and after a word or
two in reply to Mr. Black’s charges against
him, he closed.
Mr. Black made a word or two apology to
the Committee for the scene which had just oc
curred, and after a word or two from Mr. Le
vy and Mr. McKay, the Committee, rose, and
the Bill was passed by the House.
river, on the Pacific, is two thousand one hun
dred and sixty miles ; making from New York
to the Pacific three thousand miles, and can be
performed in eight days. From Columbia ri
ver to the Sandwich Islands is two thousand
one hundred miles ; making from New York to
the Sandwich Islands five thousand one hund
red miles. From the Columbia river to Ja
pan, is five thousand six hundred miles ; mak
ing from New York to Japan eight thousand
six hundred miles. From Columbia river to
Amoy, in China, (the port nearest to the tea
and silk provinces,) is six thousand two hund
red miles ; making from New York to Amoy,
only nine thousand two hundred miles; which,
with a railroad to the Pacific, and thence to
China by steamers, can be performed in thirty'
days, being now a sailing distance of nearly
seventeen thousand miles, and requiring from
one hundred to one hundred and fifty days for
its performance. Then the drills and sheet
ings of Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massa
chusetts, and other manufactures of the United
States, may be transported to China in thirty
days; and the teas and rich silks of China, in
exchange, come hack to New Orleans, to
Charleston, to Washington, to Baltimore, to
Philadelphia, New York, and to Boston, in thir
ty days mare.
Comment is unnecessary. Your honorallte
body will readily see the revolution to be
wrought by this, in the entire commerce of the
world ; and that this must inevitably be its
greatest channel—when the rich freights from
tho waters of the Mississippi and the Hudson
will fill to overflowing with the products of all
the earth, the store-houses of New York and
New Orleans, the great marts dividing the
commerce of the world, while each State and
every town in our vast Confederacy would re
ceive its just proportion of influence and bene
fits, compared with its vicinity to, or facility to
communicate with, any of the risers, canals, or
rail roads crossed bv this great road.
Your memorialist would respectfully repre
sent to your honorable body the political im
portance of the project—that, affording a com
munication from Washington to the Columbia
th
TIEBOBIAL
To the Senate and House of Rcpres.nlativcs
of the United States in Congress assembled:
Your memorialist begs respectfully to repre
sent to your honorable body, that, by rivers,
rail roads, and canals, all the States east and
north of the Potomac connect directly with tho
waters of the great Lakes. That there is a
chain of rail roads in projection and being built,
from New York to the southern shores of Lake
Michigan, crossingall the veins of communica
tion to the Ocean, through all the States south
and east of the Ohio river, producing commer
cial, political, and national results and benefits
which must be seen and felt through all our
vast Confederacy.
Your memorialist would further represent to
your honorable body, that he has devoted much
time and attention to the subject of a railroad
from Lake Michigan through the Rocky Moun
tains of the Pacific Ocean, and that he finds
such a route practicable, the results from which
would be incalculable—far beyond the imagi
nation of man to estimate. To the interior of
our wide-spread country, it would be as the
heart is to the human body. It would, when
all completed, cross all the mighty rivers and
streams which wend their way to the Ocean,
through our vast and rich valleys, from Oregon
to Maine—a distuncc of more than three thou
sand miles.
The incalculable importance of such a chain
of roads will readily be seen and appreciated
by your honorable body. It would enable us,
in the short space of eight days (and perhaps
less) to concentrate all the forces of our vast
country at any point from Maine to Oregon, in
the interior or on the coast; such eusy and
rapid communication, with such facilities for
exchanging the different products of the differ
ent parts, would bring all our immensely wide
spread population together as in one vast city ;
the moral and social effects of which must har
monize all together as one family, with but one
interest—the general good of all.
Your memorialist respectfully represents
further to your honorable body, that the roads
from New York to Lake Michigan, a distance
of eight hundred and torty miles, will no doubt
be completed by the States through which they
E uss, or by private individuals. That from
rake Michigan lo the mouth of the Columbia
river in less than eight days, a naval depot, wi
a comparatively small navy, would command
the Pacific, the South Atlantic and Indian
Oceans, and the Chinese seas.
Your memorialist begs respectfully to repre
sent further to your honorable body, that he
can see no ways or means by which this great
and important object can be accomplished for
ages lo come, except by a grunt of a sufficient
quantity of the public domain ; and your me 1
morialist believes that from the proceeds of
such a grant, lie will be enabled lo complete
said road in a reasonable time, and at the same
tune settle this vast region of country, so fur as
the lands may be foutid suited to cultivation
with an industrious and frugal people; thus, in
a comparatively short space of time, accom
plishing what would otherwise require ages
and thus at once giving us the power of dicta
tion to those who will not long remain satisfied
without an attempt to dictate to us.
Our system of free Government works so
well, diffusing so much intelligence, dispensing
equal mstice, and ensuring safety to all, and
producing so much comfort and prosperity, that
its influence must, like a mighty flood, sweep
away all other systems. But, let us not flatter
ourselves that this overwhelming current is not
to meet resistance; for to us directly will that
resistance be applied; and your memorialist
believes that we must yet meet the desperate
and final struggle which shall perpetuate our
system and religious and civil liberty.
Your honorable body nre aware of the over
population of Europe; and your memorialist
would respectfully represent that, by the appli
cation of machinery and its substitution for
manual labor, the latter no longer receives its
just or sufficient reward; and thousands, in the
fear of starvation at home, are driven to our
shores, hoping, from our wide-spread and fei--
tile soil, to find a rich reward for their labors
Many of them ignorant, and all inexperienced
having been herded together in large numbers
nt home, dread separation, even from misery
ftfar the wilderness or the prairie, and refuse to
leave the city. Their small means soon ex
hausted, they see abundance around them, al
most without price; but that small price they
can no longer pay. Necessity plunges them
into vice, and perhaps crime; and they become
burdensome to our citizens—all which evils are
increasing to an alarming extent; and your
memorialist believes tliey must increase unless
there can be some great and important point in
our interior to which such emigrants can be at-
traded immediately on their landing, and
where their little means, with their labor, can
purchase lands, where they will escape the
tempting vices of our cities, and where they
will havo a home, and their labor from their
own soil will produce not only their daily bread,
but, in time, an affluence of which they could
never have dreamed in their native land.
Your memorialist believes that this road will
be the great and desirable point of attraction ;
that it will relieve our cities from a vast amount
of misery, vice, crime, and taxation ; that it
will take the poor unfortunates to a land where
they will be compelled to labor for n subsis
tence, and as they will soon find that their la
bor and efforts receive a just and sufficient re
ward, finding themselves surrounded with
comfort and plenty, the reward of their own
toil, their energies will kindle into a flame of
ambition and desire, and we shall be enable.]
to educate them to our system—to industry,
prosperity, and virtue.
Your memorialist would further respectful,
ly represent to your honorable body that, from
an estimate as near accurate as can be made
short of an actual survey, the cost of said road,
to be built in a safe, good, and substantial man
ner, will be about 850,000,000 ; and as the
road cannot, from the situation of the uninhabi
ted country through which it will pass, earn any
thin"-, or but little, before its completion, then
a further sum will he required to keep it in
operation, repairs, &c, of $15,000,000—mak
ing the total estimated cost of said road, when
complete, the sum of 865.000,000.
It may require some years beforo the earn
ings of said road, at the low rate of tolls neces
sary for its complete success, can be much, if
any thing, beyond its current expenses for re
pairs, &,c.; but, after a comparatively short
pi riod of yiars, and at the very lowest possi
ble rate of tolls, it must earn more than ample
for its repairs and expenses. It would be 'he
only channel for the commerce of all the wes
tern coast of Mexico and South America, of
the Sandwich Islands, Japan, all China, Manil
la, Australia, Java, Singapore, Calcutta, and
Bombay—not only all ours, but the commerce
of all Europe, to the most of these places, must
pass this road. Your memorialist says must,
because the savin* of time, so all-important to
the merchant, from the long and hazardous
voyage around either of the capes, would com
pel it ; and in a few years would bo built up
towns, cities, and villages, from the lake to the
ocean, which would ulone support the road.
Being built from the public lands, the road
should be free, except so far as sufficient for
the necessary expenses of keeping it in opera
tion, repairs, &e. ; and your memorialist be
lieves that, at a very low rate of tolls, a sum
would be gained sufficient, after all current ex
penses, to make a handsome distribution for
public education ; and, as a part of the earn
ings oftbe road will be from foreign commerce,
your memorialist begs respectfully to subm.t
the subject to your wise consideration.
Your memorialist respectfully further repre
sents to your honorable body, that,, from the
knowledge lie can procure, he finds that the
lands for a long distance east of the mountains
are oflittleor no value for culture; that through
and for some distance beyond, the mountains
would also be of very little, if any, value ; and
therefore your memorialist is satisfied tr.at it
will require an Entire tract of sixty miles in
width from as near to Lake Michigan ns the
unappropriated lands commence to the Pacific
Ocean. Therefore, in view of all the impor
tant considerations here set forth, your memo
rialist is induced to pray that ) r our honorable
body will grant to himself, his heirs, and assigns,
such tract of land, the proceeds of which to be
strictly and faithfully applied to the building
and completing the said road—always with
such checks and guaranties to your honorable
body as shall secure a faithful performance of
all the obligations and duties of your memorial
ist ; and that, after the faithful completion of
this great work, should any lands remain un
sold, or any moneys due for lands, or any bal
ance of moneys received for lands sold, and
which have not been required for the building
of this road, then all and every of them shall
belong to your memorialist, his heirs, and as
signs forever.
Your memorialist prays further that your
honorable body will order a survey of said
route, to commence at some point to be fixed
upon, as most desirable, on the shores of Lake
Michigan, between the 42d and 45th degrees
of north latitude ; thence west to the gap or
pass in the mountains ; and thence, by the most
practicable route, to the Pacific Ocean.
Your memorialist would respectfully repre
sent one further consideration to your honoable
body—that, in his opinion, Oregon must fast
fill up with an industrious, enterprising people
from our States, and that they will soon attract
and draw to them people from the different
States of Europe, all expecting to share in the
benefits of our free Government, claiming its
care and protection ; but the difficulty of ac
cess to them, either by land or water, will for
bid such a hope. And your memorialist be
lieves that the time is not far distant when Ore-
gon must become a Slate of such magnitude
and importance as, unless this rapid mode of in
tercommunication shall be employed in preser
ving the Union, to compel the establishment of
a separate Government—a separate Nation,
which will have cities, ports, and harbors, all
free, inviting all the nations of the earth to a
free trade with them, where they will control
and monopolize the valuable fisheries of the Pa
cific, control the coast trade of Mexico and
South America, of the Sandwich Islands, Ja
pan, and all China, and be our most dangerous
and successful rivals in the commerce of (he
world. .But your memorialist believes that this
road will unite them to us, enabling them to
receive the protect ng care of our Government,
sharing in its blessings, benefits, and prosperity,
and imparting to us our share of the great bene
fits from their local position, enterprise, and in
dustry. Rut your honorable body will see all
this, and more ; arid your memorialist, as in du
ty bound, will ever pray.

They threw their starry banner out
Upon the storm;
And breathing forth their battle-shout-,
Drove back, in many a bloody rout,
The tyrant's swarm.
Turn to the days ere Freedom fled
From Greece and Rome;
Think of her many, martyr’d dead,
Who rest on Glory’s gory bed ;
And then, strike home!
Plant your broad banners firm upon
Your furthest holds;
And when the gallant deed is done,
Let life be lost or freedom won,
Beneath their folds.
Where the far Rio Neuces flowsj
There make your stand ;
Shout Fannin ! as your columns close;
Then draw the sword, and deal your blows,-
Heart, hilt and hand.
Point to your field of triumph, where
The “ lone star’’ rose,—
Then let your blood-dyed columns bear
Right on—nor heed again the prayer,
Of perjured foes.
Texas ! her soil shall never be,
For tyrant’s sown;

fort of Nature to throw off morbific matter. From
what may the morbific matter arise ? From a bruise, or
Qowbolsotne air which has become mixed with the blood,
not incorporated in it, but which is liable to taint the whole
mass if not speedily removed. Or the pain may arise from
bile which lias become bad, rancid, putrid, in consequence
of the want of power in the proper organs to discharge it.—
This pain which so frightens people is only the symp
toms of the efforts of Nature, (or the vital principle of the
blood,) to JBXPLL the Peca.vt or impure matter, which
would otherwise destroy the human fabric. All diseases
are of the solids or fluids, or both. When we have pain in
our head, or in our foot, in our throat or in our back oa
bowels, let us bnt be satisfied that it is produced by the ef
forts of our blood to throw out morbific matter, and if this
be so, if we car but believe and understand this, our cure
will be easy and generally sure. For our course will then
be to help Norc.re to throw off the morbid matter, not to
taxe away the blood. For the blood. EVERY DROP
WE HAVE IS HIE QUIRED TO INSURE ULTI
MATE HEALTH to the body, we must NOT LOSE A
DROP; neither must we use any medicines internally
which are uot perfectly hanrfless, if applied externally to
the body. So we must not use any of Ihe preparations of
mercury, neither must wc use any vegetable medicine of
CORROSIVE POWER.
In order to discriminate between Truth, which is eternal,
and conjecture, which is like a transient vision, we must bo
guided by the light of EXPERIENCE. To what does
experience direct? TotheFREE USE OF DR. BRAN-
DRETH’S PILLS in all cases of boaily suffering. As
this advice is followed. SO WILL THE HEALTH OF
THE BODY 3E. The writer has long used them, and
has never found them fail of imparting relief. In all ocute
diseases let Brandreth Pills and mild diet be used, and the
patient will soon be restored to good health. In chronic
complaints let lie Pills be used as often as convenient, by
which means ths vitality of the blood will be improved, and
a crisis will be generally brought about ; the disease being
changed to acute, a few’ large doses of Pills and a few days
confinement to the house, will change the chronically dis
eased individual to a sound inan. This is no figure of the
imagination; it can be proved by a thousand matter-of-fact
men who have experienced it. REMEMBER, in all ca
ses of disease, no matter whether it be a cold or a cough ;
whether it be asthma or consumption : whether it be rheu
matism or pleurisy: whether it be typus of fever-and-ague,
or bilious lever: cramp or hooping cough ormeasels; wheth
er it be scarlet fever or small pox ; that the Pills known as
Brandreth’s Pills, will, surely do more than all the medi
cines of tlio Drug Stores for your restoration to health, and
v/bat is more will sorely do vou no harm.
TRUST TO BRANDRETH S PILLS, take them so
as to produce a brisk effect, ami your sickness will be the
affair of a day or two, while those who are too wise to fol
low this common sense advice, will be sick for months.—
Let the sick enquire of the agents for Brandneth’s Pills
whether these things be so or not. Let them enquire among
their friends arid ask the same question. Verily if EVI
DENCE is wr.nled it shall be procured. To the Sick, let
me say, use the
BRANDRETH PILLS
Is the best adv .ee mortal man can give you.
