inations, and always believed that tlie princi
ple or rule of the party in regard to nomina
tions was a wise and salutary on*,, yet, with
this distinct and emphatic''repudiation of tliat
rule, I shall feel myself at liberty to become
a candidate* whenever it suits me or mv
friends to do so. That in another canvass I
have entire confidence that the Democratic
party of the district will do me justice, and
more especially that those four thousand
friends who reluctantly sacrificed me for what
they believed to he the success of the party,
will take the first opportunity to repair the in
jury which they thus unwillingly inflicted on
ine. Had I l*en simply, on this occasion,
an independant candidate, the moment that I
discovered that the success of the party would
have been eudnngered by ray candidacy . 1
would instantly have withdrawn.
But I knew that I had been honorably and
fairly nominated, according to tite most ap- !
proved nnd long established usages of the
party, nnd hence, I could not consistently, I
witli self-respect, with what I owed to the
party, and with what was due the Conven
tion that nominated itc, withdraw in favor of
an independent candidate, such as Mr. Sew
ard avowedly was. I determined to maintain
the usage of the party by remaining a candi
date, and if Tor the party, or both-should be
defeated, 1 would have the satisfaction of
knowing that 1 had acted from principle, and
not from passion, impulse or self-interest.
There is no intelligent and well-informed
man in the District who can doubt, that had
Mr. Seward discharged the debt of gratitude
which he. owed me for what 1 did for him in
1853, that had he complied with his most
solemn promises to be out of the way when
1 desired to run, the consideration for which
he received hj’ ilfy retiring in 1853 in his fa
vor, when I could have defeated Jtini by a
single word, that I could easily have beaftn
the American candidate.
The. converse of a portion of this pmpnsi- ]
tirin is equally true, to wit: That had the j
American party run no candidato I could |
have beaten Mr. Seward, had the contest
been between us alone, as I would unques
tionably have received a majority of the
American vote, whilst as the nominee of the
Democratic party, and Mr. Seward robbed
of the argument that the vote for me would
bo to elect an American, I should also have
received a majority of titer Democratic party.
In conclusion I would return my sincere
thanks to those who sustained me in the late
election ; nnd to those who voted against me.
I say in all sincerity, I cherish no unkind
feeling towards you. And to Mr. Seward:
The election is nmv orrr, and 1 am patientlv
waiting the fulfillment of promises Which I
am told you made previous to the election to
make a certain call online as soon as the
election was orrr. WM. IV. GAt L.!)t:N.

Rewind lit. That it is the-opinion of this

necessities of the people require, that our •
State Legislature should take such action,
ns wifi control the establishment, and couiv
pletion of the Main Trunk Roartgrr its equiv
alent.
Reset reel 2d. That the published negotia
tions, between the Atlantic &. Gulf Railroad,
ami the Brtmxwick & Flotilla Railroad 0o:n
panics clearly demonstrate, that the Atlantic !
& Gulf Railroad Company acted in good j
fait!.;, and did use its earnest efforts to com- :
promise with the Brunswick & Florida Kail- j
road Company on friband equal-terms; nml j
that itis the'unanimoiis voice of tliis nu'ejTng ;
that the blame of failure rests upon the Nor
thern members of the Brunswick Sc Florida
Rail road Coin patiy.
Reset red 3d. That we highly approve of
the’ course pursueoThy the Georgia Stock
holders of the Brunswick & Florida Rail
road Company at, then; last meeting iu ljj uns
- ick, when they emleavm ied-U> .harmonize'-

lishment of the Main Trunk Road.
Jleso/rrd 4 th. That the course, pursued
by the. Northern-members of the- Brunswick
At F! orida Railroad Company, in refusing to
unite with the Main Trunk Company, has i
been detrimental to the best interests of tiie !
whole people of this section of Georgia,
Resole ed, 6th. That in case the Bruns-[
wick <sc Florida Railroad Company shall still
persist in its past policy, of refusing to grant
1 lie required release of its.charter, and shall,
thereby .defeat the establishment of tfifi Main 1
Trunk Ro#d, that we instruct our Legisla- j
tors, without release of said charter, to use
their utmost effiqfs to scqttre the establish-j
me,tit of the Main Thtilk Road, starting at
the old initial proceeding tlience j
to Tho,maHville t ,so as to cross the Alapaha
River not more than seven miles above, or
below Gen. Levi Knight’s bridge. Or tog
Tte for the aid of the State, which was in
tended for the Main Trunk Road, to be gilt
n to the Savannnh Albany & Gulf Rond,
and that the S vannah Albany &. GulfßoaJ |
be required toAake the route alone desigtia- j
ted.
Jlrsohcd 6lh. That in order to show more
clearly to the Legislature of the State, tliat
the foregoing resolutions are the voice of the
people, that we recommend the county, to
send its petition tA the Legislature.
Resolved Ith. S’hat we do earnestly rec
.ommend e ve tyj/c ounty, of this portion of,
Georgia, intcroated in a Railroad, to take
nc.h steps, as iticir good sens* and wisdom
inny dictate, ts procure, a result so long de-j
