‘1 he Compromise at Witsi.f :■{?(<> n,
Since our lust, we have accounts of the
ca.icns proceedings of the two put ties in
Congress, in relation to the # Couq>rtitnise
me.isins of the Inst session. ‘At I lie
Whig caucus, llie following ReOttliou
was adopted, w ill) the exception, (us re-:

Resolved. Tint I we regard the seiitsol.
oi ls, knowo as (lie adjustment measure-, ■
sis forming in their tiiolttal (Jejieinleiiee i
mill rn/mexiuo, a system of compromise ;
the most conciliating and liie be>t stir the j
entire rmiiliry tliat conid lie* obtained j
from coiillit'iiiic set liomil inten s sand :
opinions, anti that iherehue. they ought i
fti be adhered to and tarried into faiilllul
execution, as a final st'idemt tit in primi
pie niiti substance of the dangerous and
exciting subject which they unbrace.
1 1 will tie seen that the whig patty in
Congress have thus thoroughly owe up
to the compromise Platform—not only
that it ought to he faithfully carried out,
hut that it should be considered in spirit
and in substance ns a final Settlement of
tlie dangerous and exciting question, to
which it relates. Ttijs is as it should he,
and us we fondly Imped would be the
course ol all parties who feel any real
concern for the well being of the coun
try. 1 n (he event of the Whites proving
recreant to the final settlement of this
great question, on the terms of the Com
promise, the Southern Whigs at least,
stood ready to abandon il as a party,
njid go with those alone, no Igniter id
which party, who would stand with them
faithful yin this. We rejoice jh.il so
hearty a rrsponce has been made by the
bulk of the Whig party in Congress.—
We trust that its efl’et'ls may prove tri
umphantly propitou* for peace, the safe
ty, and the permanence of the Union.
But while we rtjoice in this manifesta
tion on the one ham!, we are pained be
yond measure to witness the action of the
democratic party in Congress, in relation
lo’the same great question,
At tlie caucus of this party,M aj. Pulk
of Tennessee moved the same resolution
which was adopted in the Whig caucus,
audit was voted down by an ovewltelui
ing majority, only some six or r ight
members withdrawing from the mee'ing
when the resolution was repudiated. We
look upon this manifestation, as ominous
of the worst evils to the country, /faqi
lation on tlie subject to which we refer is
still to be tlie order of tlie day, we trem
ble for the fate of the Union—unless in
deed the good and true men of tlie dem
ocratic parly, preferring the county to
party, and patriotism in self seeking
bodily assume tlie Southern position, to
abjure all party lies with those who will
not do their dutyjn this behalf to the
country, and lake pari with those, no mat
ter of what party, who go for tlie Com
promise, the constitution, and the Union.
IVe yet believe that this, to a sufficient
extent to save the country, will be dour,
and that as the Constitutional Union par
ty has once already saved tlie Union, it
will prove sufficiently strong, to save it
again, In the mean time we await further
events at Washington, in connection
with this all important subject, with m *
tense anxiety. Recorder.
The National Union Mon.
We are glad (o see I lie followin'.’
patriotic and judicious sentiments in the
Washington Republic :
“ There must be a union, firm nnd
true, among the Constitutionalists
throughout tin* country, anti from all
quarters, for the purpose of making head
against political fana icistn at the North,
and ol putting don lithe dangerous up
rising of secesdonism ns it nmv appears
among Southern iinllifiers in an ominous
aspect more formidable titan it ever wore
hitherto under any name.”
The abov e passage is from the Balti
more American, and the sentiment which
it breathes is worthy of the source from
which it emanates. We heartily concur
in it, and sincerely wish that it could he
practically developed in all its amplitude.
There is no chance for extricating the
country from the tangled condition into
which sectional organizations and fac
tions combinations have thrown it, than
for the honest men of all parlies to come
out, unite together, and make common
cause against the banded disturbers of the
public peace. The influence of dema
gogues is already fearful in its extent,
and, unless suitable exertions are made
to counteract nnd crush it, this influence
will continue to increase, until, like a
deluge, it will sweep over the land, de
stroying everything that is valuhle in its
course. How blinded are the poor peo
ple who ran be persuaded to follow such
leaders as we see beading the ranks o(
abolition at the North, nnd seres-ion at
the Smith ! These two turbulent here
sies enn be maintained only at the ex
pense of everything that is orthodox and
precious in our system of government. —
They remind n< of die Apocalyptic henst
of St. John, which t‘ came out of the
earth ; and be had two horns, ami be
spake as a draiiott,” Here we have
amongst us a similar monster, factions,
which is “ two horns” of abolition and
secession, and uttering nothing but puis
minus doctrines and maxims intended to
. overthrow the true faith upon which
nor institutions rest, and to involve tlie
bind iu anarchy and tumults. We puy
j that, to overcome these invaders of the
sniicitiaries of our liberties, there may he
‘•a union of Constitutionalists through
|out the country and from all quarters.’*—-’
We should rejoice to see Union Whigs
| and Union Democrat* everywhere nbati
|don respectfully their abolition and se
-1 cession, brethren, and unite for the pur
pose of saving tlie Republic front the tie
solution to w hich it will fie reduced by
the mud ami mischievous coousels id
healed lanaticism on the one hand, and
a v iojent dissatisfaction on the other.—
We would raise the banner of such a
conliti on to the breeze, and inscribe upon ‘
its fold the motto, “ In hoc signo vincis.

Gentlemen : —I suppose your reporters
post you up in relation to the proceedings
of the Legislature. The interior action
of this body is beyond the surface.—
Many steps will he taken of great ad
vancement. This body will lay the
Inundation of some great interests.—
Tlieir views are to the future. There is
a philosophy here reaching out into tlte
time ahead, which is wonderfully in con
trast w ith the old antiquated and contract
ed policy of the South. Some game is
afoot. If Georgia does not astonish
“ tlie natives” before mant years, then
your humble servant is mistaken. Tlte
body is decidedly able. Young men
are here giving promise for tlie luture,
starling with the progress of the day,
and, Newton like, taking for granted
past calculations Iniined upon these rtv
-nits, theories to be realized in tlieir lile
tiuitg.
Tlte day of old-foggyisrn is past—su
perannuated humbugs are defunct, and
Georgia i< girdinu on the modern steel of
advancement to cleave her way clear.—
She is the Empire State of the South—
she will he the Empire Slate of the Un
ion. Mark this prediction. Georgia
enterprise is stronger than ever, ami
wonderful to belmld, considering the
natural difficulties to overcome.
From an astonished ‘STRANGER.’
Railroad Connection at Augusta. —
We see it stated that a hit) will be introv
duced into the Legislature to connect the
Georgia and the Charleston Rail-roads
at Augusta, as well ns the Georgia and
Waynesboro’Road*. Yl’tlie former are
connected, of course the latter should be,
ami will be also.

Godey’s Lady’s Book for 1852.
We have received the January No.
ol Godey’s Book for 1852. Heretofore
in our notices of Ibis Book, we have at
tempted to comment on its beauties, but
with the above mentioned number bnfore
us, we are totally at a los- lor language
eve.n to commence a description that
would do it justice. It so far surpasses
any thing that we have yet seen in tlie
Magazine line that we feel incompetent
to give it such a notice as it deserves.—
Yet, while we gaze with wonder and ad
miration, there is a feeling of pride per
vading our breast created by the aston
ishing perfection that is here developed
io the American line arts. The No.
before us contains titree beautiful colored
plates which are decidedly the richest
productions of the age,—“ the parables
of our Lord ;” five distinct engravings
which surpass anything we have seen—
beside, may others which are all rich and
beautiful, Tlte contents of this Maga
zine are of a liigly moral character and a
vast store of useful information is contain
ed iu each number. It contains one
hundred pages and is publi.-hed month
ly at the low price of $3,00, tints en
abling the subscriber to obtain a book of
1200 pages, embelisbed with the finest
colored plates and engravings of the age
for a cost of comparatively nothing.

i to consideration the neatness and nccura

tt/ 5 ’ The Legislature Itas accepted an
invitation to visit Savannah, and in a
short time are 10 vacate tlie Legislature
Halls and sally fori It on a pleasure excur
sion. After they return, vve suppose, the
next step will be to take recess until they
can g<> Imnie and spend the “Christmas
Holidays.” Tins being done, they will
again return to Millegeville and spend the
first in null in getting tilings straighned up
to where they left off. VVeare decidedly
opposed to a traveling Legislature, vve
would like to si e the members act as
busiuesss men—attend st<icily at their
posts until tlieir mission is entirely fulfill
ed, and then return to their homes, with
out involving the Slate iu extra expense
by protracted sessions. Tne greater
pint ion of (he business that is now before
the Legislature is of on ergent and im
portant nature, and the people are await
ing, with breathless anxiety, the actions
of that body. Under these circuimtan
ces we dislike ;o see every tiling suspend
ed and tlie Legislature off visiting, and
we should not be surprised if there ate
others just like us in this respect.
A nil-Republicanism of Secessionistn.
■—A bill was introduced some time since
in tlie Legislature of South. Carolina,
giving the election of President and Vice
President to the people. Tlie bill was
defeated, owing to the fact that the Se
cessionists have a large majority in the
Legislature, tlie members having been
elected a year ago.
Our readers will see by an article
from the Washington Republic, which
we copy in another coloin, that tlie Pres
ident has ordered a sufficient naval force
to repair to San Juan de Nicaragua,
to protect American vessells from fur
ther outrages committed by British ves
sels of war. The occasion of this order
was the firing of the British Brig-of-War
“Express” into the American .Steamer
Prometheus, which was one of the most
audacious outrage* ever committed, up
on an unarmed vessel of a friendly pow -
er, by an armed vessel, in commission, of
another power, it will he found to be the
most unprovoked, base, and cowardly in
sult ever offeied, under any circumstances,
to tlte American flag. The story is this.
The Prometheus, Captain Churchill,
w ith 500 American passengers on board,
was about leaving the port ol San Juan
De Nicaragua, (orGrevtown as it has
been christened by tlie English) without
paying a sum of $123 which w as demand
ed (as tlie Captain believed), without
tlie slightest pretence to its having been a
just or reasonable claim, when she was
fired into TWICE(!!!) by the British
Brig of War “Express” and forred to
heave to and lower the Stats and
Stripes! ! /
Jl you do not nnelior, Sir, said the
Captain of “ The Express” 1 will fire a
bombshell into and sink your d—d Yan
kee steamer and send Iter 500 passengers
to tlie d—l !!!
And, so, lie ordered the guns to be
loaded with grape and canuister shot,
and was about to put liis threat into exe
cution, when Capl. Churchill yielded to
the necessity of the case, anchored, paid
the unlawful demand, under protest, and
put up his steam lor New York.
New and Magnificent Project in Con
gress.— A Railroad from Missouri to
San Francisco, a telegraprh line for the
same distance—a line of Steamships Iront
San Francisco to China—a mint iu Cal
ifornia. These are the measures pro
posed in Congress on the very first day
of its session. This is a good beginning.
The annexation of the Sandwich Island*
—a naval intervention to prevent Rus.
sia from overcoming liberty in Europe—
British outrages in Central America—
tlte illegal rondemation and imprison
ment ol Mr. Thrasher, in Havana, will
soon he taken up by Congress, aad give
plenty of work to that interesting collec-
I tion of patriots to perform. So thinks
the New York Herald.
The S. W, Railroad via Eufaqla.
Tlte citizens of Eufaula Ala. are ma
king efforts to secure the completion of
the Sontli Western Rail Road to that
place. We had a conversation a few
days since, with tlte Editor of tlie Eu
j futila Shield, Mr. Gardner, who has just
jieturned from’ Milledgeville. He wns
sent to our Legislature by (lie citizens of
1 Etilatila, for the purpose of securing the
| passage of a bilFauthorizing the con
i siructlon of a road to cross the River at
Eufaula, and connect with the South
Western Road as soon as it reaches tlie
nearest point to their tuw-n. It is the
opinion of Mr. Gardner, as there is no
doubt but his hill will be passed, that the
idea of crossing at Fort Games will be
abandoned, that the Road will be built
to Eufaula and from thence to Pensacola,
as they already have the only charter 1
for a Railroad connection with tint Gulf.
Mr. G. also informed us that if the main
trunk should pass below, Eufaula would
still build a branch to connect w ith it.—
Iu answer to his argument for the main
trunk to pass Eufaula, vve ventured the
opinion that the completion of the Girard
and Mobile Road would interfere —that
it would be unnecessary to construct two
Roads so nearly parallel with each other,
but he was of opinion that tlie Girard and
Mobile road would be an entire failure.
Jf this should be theyase, and tlie road is
extended from this place tp Pensacola,
and a branch built from here to Albany, |
the main route will, in ail probability,
cross the river at Eufaula.
Our readers are aware that there has
been a bill before the Legislature for some
time past for an appropriation to aid in
the completion of the South-Western
Road to the Chattahoochee river, which,
we must coufesswe did not believe vvnuld
pass, but from what Mr. Gardner says,
the appropriation w ill certainly be made
as no one will oppose it bin Mr. Tilt,
who is now before that body w i 1 1 1 a simi
lar bill for tin appropriation to help build
a road to Albany.
House of Representatives.
The debate on the Bill to form a nw
county out of Henry, Fayette, and Pike,
was continued this morning (, v Messrs,
Harper, Fall, and Meriwether, again-t
the measure ; and Messrs. Russ-11, Me-
Dougald, and Seward, in favor of it.
I did not hear it, hot understand that
Judge Meriwether made an able argu
ment against it, during which lie pro
phesied the downfall of Griffin from the
effects of the Atlanta and LaGrunge Rail
road, and indicated his disapprobation of
the elei tioneeriog of “ lobby members,”
who are here from Griffin. Notwith
standing the Judge’s high character and
acknowledged talents, I I'.ncy he has not
the gilt of prophecy, and I trust he w ill
prove a false prophet in regard to the
beautiful and flourishing town of Griffin.
In relation to the “lobby members,” I
thought Mr. McDougald’s reply, that
“ they came, not as private individuals,
but as the representatives of a tl unsaud
voters,” was a satisfactory and conclusive
one. My impression is, tli.it private in
dividuals frequently come here to forward
their views and interests, without being
considered intrusive or out of place ; and
surely, if that he the eas-, the gentlemen
of Griffin might come here to endeav or
to obtain justice ( as they conceived) fir
tlieir whole community, without incut ring
•my just censure or rebuke.
In the afternoon session, tlte vote was
taken on the passage of the bill, and it
passed by a vote ol yeas GO, nays 54.
Invitation to Savannah.
Do ring tlie morning a communication I
was received from the Governor, convey
ing tlie invitation front the atiiluniijes of
Savannah, to the Governor, I .legislature,
Sic., to visit that city. He stated his in
tention to forward a prompt acceptance
of tlie invitation on his own part, and re
commended the Legislature to do like
wise. Tlie Senate having received a
similar message, both Houses referred
the matter to a joint committee, wliiili
committee reported in favor of accept
ance, in tlte following resolutions, which
were adopted :
Resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the State of Georgia,
That the two Houses Composing the
General Assembly will accept on tlieir
part the invitation so generously and
kindly tendered to them, and that they
propose to leave the seat of government in
time to spend Friday and Saturday next
with tlieir fellow-citizens of the seaboard.
Resolved, That the thanks of the Gen
eral Assembly are hereby tendered to tlie
Central Railroad Company for the gen
erous offer made to this body to convey
them free of charge to and from Savan
nah, and that in signifying our grateful
acceptance of that offer vve w ould suggest
the hour of nine o’clock on Tuesday
morning next as (lie time when it would
be agreeable to us to leave this place for
Savannah.
Resolved, That his Excellency the
Governor be respectfully requested to
communicate the action of the General
Assembly to the City Council of Savan.
nli.
I should have stated above, that the
Governor also communicated the offer of
the Central Railroad Company to convey
the members, fyc , over this road free ol
charge, to which allusion it made in the
resolutions.
Belore the adoption of the resolutions,
Messrs. Walker of Richmond, and Tift
of Baker both offered resolutions declin
ing the invitation—Mr. Tift on account
of the bad precedent and the danger that
some future Legislature might be sedn c .
ed, lsuppose, by the blandishment of Vou i
fair city, and thereby trammeled in t|, e j r
legislation. Mr. Walker drew a humor
ous picture of w hat might happen to the
crave representatives of the people, i n
Savannah, where, being unknown, th e
people would not give tlie sidewalk t 0
them as they do in Miiledgeviße; there
upon fights and broken crowns might
ensue, to the great disgrace of the State
Sic., &cc. Both gentlemen disclaimed
that they were actuated by motives ofbos
tility, to Savannah, and Mr. Walker stat
ed that lie had always regarded Savannah
with a great deal of interest and affection
insomuch that he had often voted against
the interests of Augusta in favor ol Sa„
Vanuatu. yW
Mr. Wofford opposed the excursion
on the ground that il could do no earth
ly good—would consume valuable lime,
and would so disorganize the business of
the House that il would be days after
tlieir return belore they would get
smoothly to work again.
Mr. Dawson of Greene replied and
lauded Savannah in the highest terms-
He wanted to shake hands w ith the eo.
icfprising citizens of Savannah, who had
dune mme to develope the resources of
this great State than (.De-half the State
beside. He alluded to her having built
the Pioneer Railroad of the Stale, and
stated that of the twelve millions of dol
lars that bad been expended in develops
iug the resources of Georgia, Savannah
had contributed four millions.
A resolution was passed to stop t| )e
ppr diem pay of the members during their
absence at Savannah. The House ad
journed till Monday morning.
