the State. Let oor united efforts be di

to tlie consummation of this great object
—the education of the hearts and minds
of the people.
To our gentlemen, for the time
being, lias a confiding people committed
these various and important interests of!
•he State. We should enter upon our
duties with a consciousness of the respon
sibility we have assumed, ami n determi
nation so to discharge them, that there
may exist in the piiblie'inbul unjust cause
to regret the trust ilitft bus been repos
ed in us.
Nor, gentlemen, is the present a Its
interesting period, when considered in re
ference to our Federal relations. Our
Federal Government is now passing
through an ordeal which may justly be
regarded as tlie severest test to which it
lias ever been subjected, in the issue is
lobe involved not only our own peace
and happiness, but the solution ol that
great problem which has engaged so
much of the time of the ablest mid purest
men w ho ever lived—tlie capacity of man
for self-government.
At the commencement of the last Con
gress, the country was convulsed with a
bitter sectional controversy, growing
out of the institution of slavery, as it ex
ists in the Southern States. The ablest
heads were appalled with the magnitude
of the danger lliai threatened the in*eg.
rity of the republic ; and the stou'est
hearts faltered tinder the weight of re
sponsibility. It would he inappropriate to
this occasion In review the history of that
angry and threatening controversy ; nor
“ould I unnecessarily refresh your mem
ories with many of its principal reflec
tions ; but there are lessons and admon
itions to be tlrawn from its consideration,
which cannot lie too deeply and forcibly
impressed upon the public mind of ibis
country.
issue was ultimately
brought so a close, in our national Leg
islature, by the adoption of a series of
measures, familiarly known to tbe country
as the Compromise. That Compromise
was based upon two important principles.
Tlie first recognized tlie great American
doctrine, of (lie right of every people, in
iheorgan'natiftn of their State govcrmenis,
to determine for themselves whether or
not they would have the institution of
slavery as a part of their social system —
a principle dear to every Republican
heart, and one upon wliirli rests the whole
fabric of American Institutions; tints
repudiating that other doctrine—so just
ly odious to the people of the South—-of
light and duly of Congress to reject a
State applying for admission into the
Union, because her constitution tolerated
the institution of slavery.
The other cardinal principle of the
Compromise, recognizes (he constitution
al obligation to deliver up onr fugitive
slaves when they may escape into the
non-slaveholdiug Slates——a dutvexpiess
ly imposed by the letter of the Constitu
tion, and the enforcement of which it es
sential to the permanence of the Repub- 1
lie. ‘
After the adoption of (his adjustment ‘
by Congress, circumstances imposed upon j
the people ol Genrujn, the important duty ‘
til pronouncing tlie first authoritative ,
judgment upon it. To onr action the
eyes of the w hole country were directed,
and onr fellow.citizens every w here look
ed to our movements with anxious soli-
7t was under these circumstances
that Georgia was called upon to speak.
She spoke, and her voice luvatlied o
mingled spirit of ardent devotion to the
Union, and of patriotic warning to our
Northern friends.
Looking to the past, and considering
the rights and interests that had been in
volved in the contest—(lie dangers and
difficulties which had surrounded tlie
country, and the important principle up
on which the final action of the govern
ment was based—she solemnly declared
her determination to stand to* and abide
by the Compromise, as a permanent and
final settlement of this dangerous and vi-’
tal issue—its finality and faithful enforce
ment in all its parts, Constituting essential
elements to commend it to tile favor and
support of liersell and her sister of the
South.
Looking to the future—with reference
to the menaces of threatened aggros- j
sions which had been so freely indulged
in. by a portion of the people of tlie
North ; and regarding the adoption of
those measures against which she raised
her warning voice, in the fourth resolu.

reaffirmed with deliberation in 1851
and 7 now renew the pledge of my hearty
co-operation in maintaining it with firm

Georgia has thus placet! herself n a

Gov. Towns’ Message
1\ is impossible for us to give, ibis week,
more than the following general synopsis
of his farewell message of his late Excel
lency Guv. Gvo. YV. Towns. It is a
pretty fair document, considering its
source, but its length is an ab nninahle in
fliction upon both printers and readers.
The latter w ill therefore thank us, we
ivekoo, for the condensation which fol
lows :
Opening Remarks.—Means to avoid
all topics not a fleeting the interests of the
people, in the recommendations submit
ted to the Legislature.
Thinks tliat abundant cause of grati
tude to Deity exists, that the State has
been spared from the scourge of pesti
lence and famine, but it.is nevertheless a
fact that we ar e passing though a season
of bitter discontent, that may w ell claim
the exercise ol the brightest Christian vir
tues (?) &IC.
Stale of the Finances. —Gratifying.
Bonds of the Stale in greatei repute now |
than ever. Holders will not allow them
redeemed. The liabilities of the State]
have been increased si jfre the close ol
1547, on tlie sum of $397,222,22. This
was chiefly for Rail Road purposes,—
Since the close of politcul year 1847,’ to
close af financial year 1850, tthere lifts
been paid of interest on public debt,
8414,770,91, and of principal 261,559,
72, leaving the debt at this time $1,724,
722.22. Take from the sum of S3OOO,
000, and the balance of the appropria
lion for tlie completion of Stale Road,
and payable from the public debt is now]
81.424.722.22, less by $154,143*35|’
than at tlie close of 1847. Available |’
Funds in the Treasury $54,038-09, 1
which lie recommends to be applied to 1
the further reduction of the debt.
Central Bank. —Original capital <
53,560,000, Requisitions on the Bank, <
in form of Treasury Warrants, from’33 I
iof’4l was $2,293,500—fr0m ’4O to ’43, 1
s6So,ooo„total $3.200,000.—1n face of ]
these drains on the Bank, the Education
Act of 1844, transferee! $262,300 to the 1
State Treasury, Dividends, interests, &tc.
since, increasing the sum to $10,052,50.
The liabilities of tbe Bank at same time
were not )i ,-s than $1,5000,000. Sucli
a financial operation tlie Governor com
plains of as being incomprehensible.—
Present liabilities of the Bank consists of
Bunds issues to redeem its circulation, n
mnnniing to 371,00. Os this amount,
$9,300 is redeemable in 1851, $39,000
in 1855. $34,000 in 1556, 817.000 in
1857, $21,500 in 1859, $35.000 1860,
$5 000 in 1861, $37,000 in 1862, 48,-
500 in 1863, and $74,000 in 1864.
Tbe available assets, ns reported by
tlie Cashier, tuny be esieemed at SIOO, 1
080. Liabilities reduced ill four years
$279,069,87.
Taxation. —On ibis point tbe Gover
nor speaks like a sensible man re
commending an advalarem system of
Taxation on tlie property of tlie Slate.
Upon tlie authority of the Census returns
of last year the real estate of Georgia is
estimated at £120,663,283 —personal
$210,081,254. One Bth of One per cent
ii which sums would bring into the
Treasury about $347,282,82, after al
-1 lowing 16 percent for assessing, collects
’ ing, kc., exceeding tbe present income,
and more titan adequate for present and
uccuring liabilities.
Reports of Treasurer and Comptroll
er.— From these we learn that the total
available balance in tlie Treasury, at the
clove of the financial year, is $1 18,962,s
45, from this sum deduct $37*180,71, of
undrawn appropriations: $30,219,49 of
the lax of 1951, collected before the close
of the financial year, and $lO,5 V -2,00,
dividends on ‘Education Fund,’leaving
a surplus at (lie close of the financial year
of $-10,087,34.
The amount of undrawn appropria
lions, that w ill revert to the Tresnrv, will
probably not vary fir from $13,950,75,
making the #*CtuJil surplus in the Trea*u r y
subject pi any future appropriations mod e
by the Legislature, or applicable to the
public debt, $54,Q<}6,09. • **
Dues Collected from General Govern
malt.—Judge Sturgis has collected for
the State $65,683,44; exclusive of Com
missions, on account of advances made,
thrfpat /ndian disturbance of 1836. Al
so $21,044,60 for the Central Bank, on
same uccunt.
Western Sf Atlantic Rail Road. —The
Governor claims great credit for himself
and his Chief Engineer, Mr. Mitrhiell,
for having saved this road from total
w reck—puts the while-wash on Mitchell
with an unsparing hand, and calls on the
Legislature to meet his recent contracts
for iron, and to appropriate $500,000
more to put the road in efficient order.
He alo recommends to perfect the organ*
ization of the road by a Board ol’Direct
ors of whom one should be president,
nnd to which Bordi corporate powers
shall he given for the management of the
Road, &tc. The Directors to be chosen
as the Supreme Judges for both political
parties!
Steam Marine. —The message recom
mends the State to give aid to tlie estab
lishment of a line of Seam Propllers from
Savannah to England on the continent.
Common Schools. —7s in favor of com
mon scools and against poor schools.—
: The latter offensive to the pride of pa
rents—the former equal and republican.
Believes that the resources of the Stale
are ample to sustain a general system of.
public instruction. He says d’AtakiliiP
Bank Stock, the income from ...which is,
under the laws of 1843, applutd to edu
cating the poor, is an appropriate fund
to he applied to this object, whenever the
State provides for the . nf bonds
of the central Bank. The next source
of permanent income from the Western
and Atlantic Railroad, when the present
lines, and such as may be necessary to in
cur for its immediate equipment and re
pairs, liavtybeen redeemed ; and the de
ficencv, if any, should be supplied by a
per capita tax.
The Governor further recommends
lhai;Teachers be educated at public ex
pense to take charge of the public schools,
said teachers to indemnify the Stale for
expenses afterward.
Deaf and Dumb and Lunatic Asylums.
Each of,there Institutions is recoin*
mended to tlie fostering care of the Leg
islature.
Georgia and Florida Boundry Line.
—All efforts to adjust this bounury Imve
failed. Florida lias entered a Bill before
tlie Supreme Court of the United Stales,
and the Governor has appointed Jno. M.
Berrien to protect the Iterests of Georgia,
before tliot tribunal.
[Next come some private and minor
matters touching monumental tributes, ‘
Swamp lands in Ware Cos., suspended I
executions of murderers, Cobb’s Digest
of tlie Statute Laws, Resignations of of
fice and vacancies filled, which we have i
not space to detail.] (
Penitentiary. —Recommends a clasifi
cation of prisoners, according to grades
of crime and separate the big scoundrels
from tbe little ones, expenses of this
College greatly increased, and sales of
wares difficult, remunerating prices.—
Thinks, if a fair proportion of the debts is
collected, and some $5,000 due tbe Pen
itentiary by tbe State is paid, that the in
stitution will gel along two years longer
without assistance. Also renews bis
recommendation to establish a railroad
car manufactory in the prison!
The Militia. —Any change would be
an improvement. The Volunteer system
is recommended, arms to be furnished by
the .Stale to companies, with a view to
place the Slate in an efficient slate of de- ;
fence, especially as Georgia in Conven
lion assembled has resolved that she
“would and ought to resist, (even as a
last resort) to a disruption of every tie
which binds her to the Union, any ac
tion of Congress upon the subject of
slavery ill the District of Columbia, or
in places subject to the jurisdiction of
Congress, incompatible with tbe rights
nnd the honor of (lie slavehnlding Stales”
ike., all of which is submitted “ with no
parlizan spirit” &ic. but wilh a view to
the prosperity of the people.
YVitli tin exhortation to a restoration of
good feeling, his ex-Excellenry tints
pioussly close liis communication to the
Legislature :
“ What ever destiny may await us,
whether of prosperity or adversity, we
cannot too often invoke tlie guidance of

Rail Rond to Pensacola.
By au article which we ropy in another
column, e notice that the Savannah Re
publican of tlie Silt, inst, is speculating !
extensively upon the probability of tbe
extension of the South-Western Railroad
to the City of Pensacola. He urges that
the Road thus extended, would prove ol j
immense value to the Slate of Georgia,
yea, even more, it would become a na
tional work. The Editor himself seems
exlreamly anxious that this great work
should be accomplished, and reccotn
mends a .call being made upon tbe Leg*
islature lor pecuniary assistance to carry
it out. His principal desire for its com
pletion however, is to bring the great
thoroughfare of travel from New York
to San Francisco, through Savannah.—
But suppose this was accomplished, then
arises tlie quesliou whether it would ben
efit Savannah sufficiently to compensate
her for tbe total loss of all importance as
a grocery market, which would be tlie
inevitable result of the extension of (lie
S. W. Railroad to Pensacola? In our
humble opinion it would not, and in
view of that fact, we are disposed to doubt
her “ straining a point” in assisting tbe
farthe extension of the Road. Her citi
zens are fully aware that if it is extended
furtliet t will excite the attention of other
capitalists, and the work will be com
pleted, thus making New Orleans the
Grocery market for almost every section
which she has hitherto supplied.
“It is understo and” says the Editor of
the Republican, tat the people of the
South-YVest will i >ply to the Legislature
fur aid toextemltlie Road. 7f they do
and tlie Legislative grants that aid. per
haps it will be exfnded, but we doubt
whether the Siati has any’ surplus
to be thus expent sd or not.
If the South-W.‘stern Railroad Ip ever I
i extended it w ill t> by anew
and, as the indue meuts for itsgjfeoniimia
tion to tlie Chattahoochee^■pt%i , eady
diminished by lie cmMpfloh of the
Muscogee Road we njestime that no
jffib -e*er be organised.
|*rd and Mobile Road would be in succ-
I essful operation, and there is no necessity
j ~r *Be two rotj ds, running paralell with
! each other. m
Taking all things into consideration,
. we view lb” farmer extention of theS. VV-
Railroad nil a humbug 1 , and its advo*
i cacy a “cnning scheme to drive other
improvements ahead, the better to secure
its permanent terminus just as far from
a communication with New Orleans as
possible.
R AIL-ROAD TO PE NS A COLA.
*Ou r readers are al! aware that the or
iginal intention, in starling the South
western Rail-Road from Macon, was to
extend it across the Chatalioochee river
to Pensacola. It was considered that
the Road, as a local road, developing
the new land fertile cotton region known
as “ Southwestern Georgia,” would be
profitable to the stockholders, whilst it
w ould answer every just expectation of
the people of Georgia. Fifty miles of
the Road, reaching the western bank of
Flint river at Oglethorpe, have been in
operation over three months, and we
are sincerely gratified to learn that its re
ceipts, both from travel and freights, ex
ceed the most sanguine expectations of
its projectors and friends .But we should
never lose sight of the fact, (hat w hilst by
an extension of this Road to the Chula..
hoochee liver, Georgia would have a
road yielding a high rate ol interest for
doing local work, the further extension
and completion to Pensacola would add
immensely to the profits, by doing what
may truly be called national work. At
various times, and especially in July,
1849, the columns of the Republican
show that onr views of this great road
have never been confined to tlie limits of
Georgia. YVe have urged the impor
tance of a connection with Pensacola
w.jth all the power we possessed, and ev
ery day’s experience and reflection tend
to confirm us in the opinion, that if the
South Western Ruud is extruded to the
Chatalioochee river, at a favorable point
hoi remote from the direct line to Pensa
cola, we shall soon see it carried by oth
ers to the Gulf of Mexico.
YVe lean that capitalists in New York
are now engaged in the great work of es
tablishing the Tehuantepec route to Cali,
fornia—a route which will require but
twelve days between Pensacola and San
Francisco, the distance being sliortend
down to three thousand and two bun
dled miles—thus eclipsing both the great
routs by Panama and Nicaragua. A
Road then from Pensacola connecting
with the Georgia improvements in the
South YY’estern part of our Stale, would
present the line all the way to Savannah
! as the great national thoroughfare, be
tween New York and our possessions on
the Pacific. YVhocan over estimate the
advantages of so splendid a line of cotn
l iniinicution.
Every portion of the Union is interes
i ted in establishing it. There is nothing
visionary, but every thing absolutely,
certain in reference to it. The under
taking is, comparatively, of easy accom
alishinetit. A little over sixteen years
ago. Charleston urged the magnificent
project of a Rail Road from Cincinnati
to her wharves. Tlie scheme was con
sidered 100 gigantic, ever to be carried
out, and yet, t tins day, sucli a line is,
through tlie efforts of various States, very
near being completed, and (what is bel
ter yet) the shortest line from Cincinnati
to the Atlantic will terminate in this city.
Yes, nnd if the line is carried from Ogle
ihorpe to Pensacola, tlie travel from Cin
cinnati—from all Ohio, Kentucky, Ten
nessee, and other YVestern points to Sail
Francisco, will he by and over our State
Road and along litis new line. VVe ex*
peel to see men of all countries and
climes passing over this highway, in
eluding Japanese and sharp, toed China
men, as well as those of the Anglo Saxon
race. YVe fear not Id he called enthusi
asts—the thing is too plain to be doubled
I by the most skeptical.
This city has already subscribed six ,
hundred thousand dollars towards the ! j
develupement of South-western Georgia, |
and at the same time towards the estab
lishment of the great route to s
YVe have subscribed and paid over one
third part of the twelve millions of doll
ars expended on the entire system, of Rail
roads in Georgia. Our peojde, e
doubt not, would go further, amj “srtain
a point,” to aid in extending we South
western Road.
people of the
jponth-west w ill apply to the State for aid.
TWe do earnestly hope that the State will
grant them aid—-substantial aid. If iron
j for tlie SO or 85 miles of road between
the Flint and Chattahoochee is subscribe
ed by tbe State, tlie road will be built,
and it will be continued by others to
Pensacola. For less than three hundred
thousand dollars so subscribed for iron,
the State of Georgia can, now that her
citizens have done so much, secure
through her midst the greatest tliorogh
fure that America, or even the world,
has ever seen.
Now is the propitious lime to move—
now we can do what the lapse of anoth
er year will deprive us of the power to
do. 7f we stand still, others will snatch
the glorious prize. YVe beg our legisla
tors and all our people to ponder this
most interesting subject, Build the road
to Pensacola, and what Georgia now sees
is but the faintest glimer til tbe resplend
